Chapter 584: High Elf in the Wild

Eguchi Ren: Im late, sorry (sweats)

Haahh

Oi, why are you sighing like that? asked Fer.

Geez, I wonder why, I muttered with a glare. Why dont you take the time to think why!

Because you are strange?

Aughh!!! Noo!! Its because of you!! This is all your fault! All your fault!

What nonsense are you speaking now?

What the- its not nonsense! Its not nonsense, okay?!

Once we get back to Carelina, who do you think will be scolded by the Guild Master, huh? Aahhh!! Just thinking about what happened at the Adventurers Guild makes me want to rip someones fur out!!

As threatened, Fer rushed through the streets of Carelina with me on his back, barreling into the Adventurers Guild, nearly trampling down the people there. Luckily everyone within the Guild were Adventurers who faced danger every day and could sense when a threat appeared. Someone must have run to fetch the Guild Master because, in no time at all, Willem-san was standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at us with wide, horrified eyes.

He was right to be horrified.

Fer flung his head back and announced, We are going to hunt the Green Dragon. Then, without so much as a by-your-leave, he turned around and sprinted out of the Adventurers Guild.

Wait! I shrieked. Stop!!

However, he did not listen at all. The next thing I knew we were through the city gate and bounding over gra.s.slands to the location where Grandpa Gon could safely transform to his normal size and we took off into the sky.

And now, we are on our way there.

Wherever there is.

Haahhh what should I do now? Willem-san looked so shocked Im sure hes going to blame me for this incident

Sadly, I was starting to get used to being the one to be blamed for all of these shenanigans

As for our current location, well, Fer and Grandpa Gon had been going on and on about a trip to Hunt the Green Dragon, but neither ever really did say where the Green Dragon actually was.

What are you muttering about now? Fer snapped.

I glared sharply at this root of all evil.

This is all your fault! No, this is yours and Grandpa Gons fault!

Nu, I as well? Grandpa Gons answer came via telepathy. I think he was not aware that he thought that out loud.

You guys just dropped a bomb at the Adventurers Guild about how youre going to hunt a Green Dragon but never said anything about where we are going! I told you to stop, didnt I? But did you listen? Who do you think the Guild Master will scold later?!!

To be scolded for something that was not even my fault, just what kind of injustice is that?! Arent I in the right to be angry about this!!

instead of worrying about pointless things, Master should save your energy. The location of the Green Dragon is quite far away. We may only arrive after sunset. We will only start hunting in earnest tomorrow. As the weakest one, Master should take the time to rest, said Fer.

You!!!

As Fer said, even I will need more time to reach the location. Master should take a rest.

Oi! Dont change the subject! Just where is that place? Dont ignore me!!

Is it really important for Master to know now? asked Fer. We will be there sooner or later, whether Master knows about the place or not.

Umu

,

you know what? I dont care anymore. Im going to sleep.

I flopped down on Grandpa Gons back, only to find that it felt too hard. In the end, I wriggled over to Fers side and used him as a pillow.

Sui hopped into my arms, Aruji~~? Sleepy~~? Sui will sleep too~~

Ahhh, Sui-tan is the only comforting thing in this miserable world

Tee hee~ it tickles~~

Hey, Im going to take a nap too, said Dora-chan as he dived down and snuggled up next to me.

Thats right, since there was really nothing I could do, lets not worry about it anymore.

up wae up! Oi! Wake up!

Pain exploded in the back of my head and I immediately woke up.

Ouch! What the- what the heck?!

Its your own fault for not waking up even though I have called you many times, said Fer.

He was standing upright and I must have fallen when my pillow got up and I hit my head against Grandpa Gons hard scales. Rubbing the back of my head, I grumbled, Surely theres a gentler way to wake someone up

We have arrived, time for dinner!

Was Fers only answer before leaping off Grandpa Gons back.

Master is up? Quickly now!

Aruji~ Hurry~

The two smaller familiars were already skipping about on the ground, waiting to be fed.

Yes, yes, Im coming Its not like I wanted to be here anyway.

After I had slid off Grandpa Gons back, he transformed to a more manageable size while I took a look around. We have landed in some kind of dense forest. This forest was nothing like the jungle-like place inside the caldera, the trees were bigger, sure, but it was still a forest.

The Green Dragon is somewhere within that deep forest, said Grandpa Gon. Master, it would be best to rest here and eat. Tomorrow, we may head out to look for the dragon.

Umu

, thats right, its time to eat.

Ahh~ Im so hungry~~!

Sui is hungry too~~

Geez, thats the only thing on your minds, I said, exasperated by their behaviour.

Anyway, we had Dungeon Pork Teriyaki Bowl which I had already pre-made. After that quick but filling dinner, we all went to bed early in antic.i.p.ation of tomorrows Adventures.

By we, I meant my familiars.

I was not looking forward to anything at all.

The next morning

Haahh~~ woah, I still managed to sleep, hmm~

I stepped out of my temporary box-shaped shelter to soak in the morning sun. I had already slept on Grandpa Gon on the way here, and did not expect to feel sleepy. However, it turned out that I could still sleep pretty well.

I guessed it must be travel fatigue.

Aruji~~ Good morning~~!!

Ah, morning Sui. [1]

Umu

, wheres breakfast?

Good morning, Master.

Ou! Morning!

Everyone looked very bright and cheerful. Im sure their minds were filled with hunting and killing and the eating of dragon meat, completely forgetting the fact that they would have to see Elland-san for that part.

As for me, well, my job was to provide meals. Which I did. There were some Katsu Sandwiches in my [Item Box], which I quickly piled onto plates and served them out. For myself, I had a light breakfast consisting of a couple of rice b.a.l.l.s and some pickles.

All too soon, it was time to enter the forest.

Sui wants to meet mister dragon soon~~

The forest here looked similar to the other forests that I had been through, except it was much thicker with leaves so thick that it was almost dark under the forest. It felt like Fer was running at a much slower pace than before, but I cant be sure

Grandpa Gon also moved quite fast for a dragon running on two legs. It was shocking how something so large could move so quietly. This way, it felt more like a hunt rather than just general ma.s.sacre.

[1] Which I was happy for the local inhabitants, but it still doesnt make me feel better about hunting in such a place. They were even speaking through telepathy, which made me even more anxious.

[1] Just what kind of creature was the Green Dragon?

Hey, um, so, is the Green Dragons lair still far? How about we take a little break soon?

Fortunately, Fer and Grandpa Gon actually slowed down.

Hmm, I guess its fine. Grandpa Gon looked like he had a hard time keeping up with me, smirked Fer.

Haa haa what are you saying? Im not tired at all, Grandpa Gon insisted, even though he was panting hard. I guess flying and running on two legs used up different muscles or something?

Also, Grandpa Gon was our main vehicle getting here from Carelina, so, of course, he would be tired. Feeling a little sympathetic, I said, Would you like something to drink?

Cola, said Fer immediately.

Me too!

Sui too~~

Master, a cold beer would-

Rejected.

There is no way Im letting anyone have beer in the middle of a hunt, overpowered or not.

Just as I was sticking my hand into my [Item Box], something whooshed past my face and hit the tree behind me with a thunk.

It was an arrow.

Eh?

Contrary to me, Fer and Grandpa Gon were glaring in the opposite direction.

Oi, come out!

We know youre there, said Grandpa Gon.

When I looked in the same direction as my familiars were looking, a man emerged from the foliage with a c.o.c.ked bow in hand, clearly ready for a battle.

No, not a man. That long flowing golden hair, that unnatural grace

An Elf?

No, thats no ordinary Elf,

Umu

, thats a High Elf.

A High Elf?

[Gumihou: Hmm, I wonder whats the difference?]

[1] Redid the morning! and morning! greetings. The dialogues were well.
