42 – The evil dragon appears
The appearance of a young wizard.
Splendid magic that steals your eyes.
Eradication of demons.
Up to this point, the village was ready to hold a festival to celebrate the birth of a new hero.
Until the village’s guard captain became a dead body and rolled on the floor.
Slowly folding its huge wings that capture people’s attention,
He dug his nails into the body that was spitting out blood and dragged it on the ground –
“Come on. You don’t have to lead the way to the guild building.”
The woman, revealing her red hair, proudly separated herself from the crowd.
Someone saw her like that and made her run away,
Someone rushed out to call security,
Someone,
“Damn it, what did you do to the captain?”
“Stay still.
If your life is not worth it.”
As soon as she snarled at her, I had no choice but to curl her tail and look at her.
The figure with flames rising from the corner of its mouth and a haze was clearly a dragon.
It was also an evil dragon that showed that it could harm people as much as it wanted.
“I guess it’s here, right?”
Not even blinking an eye despite the loud noises and pointing,
She instantly knocked down the guards aiming her spear in front of her building with her tail.
She soon encountered well-armed adventurers, but
“Hey, isn’t that the Thunder Guard captain?”

As soon as they saw the person lying at the front door with flowing blood, everyone became thoughtful and was busy retreating.
No one dared to take up arms.
Mace, hammer, shield, two-handed sword, great sword…
Ido, who boasts sturdy muscles,
I also have to look for an opportunity in the dark with my hood down,
I was frozen in place, consumed by fear.
“Those horns… Tail…”
Someone noticed strange things growing on the woman’s body,
I felt fear from that identity.
“That Captain Saunders became like that?”
Someone recognized the identity of the man who the woman had slapped on the floor,
They raised their weapons and did not even dare to be hostile.
“Damn it, such a cruel thing…”
However, someone got angry at what was done, gritted their teeth, and gained strength.
Those who had courage in their hearts slowly hid in the crowd, each looking for an opportunity.
Yellow eyes flashed once at the group of people, and the movement stopped in an instant.
It was the same on the other side.
The man who was organizing the documents dropped his hands, giving his papers wings.
The seal slipped from his hand and rolled around on the floor, leaving a dark red mark on the document.
“Hey, there’s no need to be so nervous.
It’s not something I want to ask or ask for something that big.”
The one the dragon chose was, among other things, a poor girl hiding under the desk.
Because he was so scared that the pen placed on his work space trembled and soon fell to the floor.
I dared to make the angry woman wait.
Rosaria gently placed her hands on the wooden board and looked around for a moment.
She had no one she dragged onto the floor, where only blood stains remained.
Instead, more guards blocked the entrance, each taking out their own blades and aiming.
Once again, the determined adventurers also blocked the path –
No one could hide their fear.
Even as all of this was happening, the girl under the desk had no intention of coming out.
It ended up irritating the red dragon.
“aaa?!”
“…You can act as politely as you want,
You have never listened to me. Yes?
I’m really grateful that you didn’t betray my expectations.”
She broke down all the wooden boards and furniture in her way and hung her receptionist in the air.
It struck those who tried to run at it with its tail, which was stronger than a whip, and knocked them down.
Then he sharpened a small ember and held it in front of his tear-filled eyes.
“If you ask politely, it seems like he doesn’t like it, so I’ll be a little rough with it.
What do you think? “Is this method much better?”
“No!! No…!! Ugh, keuhuheu…!”
“What should I do about this? You didn’t answer before, but now you’re opening your mouth.
Then this method is much better. Yes?”
The poor girl continued to struggle, shaking her head until she felt her own cheeks getting scorched.
She filled the building with her shrill screams.
The familiar scent rising along with the sizzling sound made everyone’s stomach tingle.
Except for one being.
“Should I say it’s brave to lie even after the results are out?
Or should I say that your nature is so bad that you know how to lie very shamelessly.
Huh?
After I hold on to it like this, the answer comes out, what?
You want me to treat you kindly?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I won’t lie! Ask me anything!”
A mark like a black dot remained around her eye, and the girl cried out with one eye tightly closed.
Because fear stiffened her struggling body and filled her confused head with fear-
Her once bright eyes became pitch black.
“Please let the child go.”
And only after this chaos broke out did someone from upstairs begin to walk down.
A white-haired old man with a bushy beard appeared, wielding a sword and sweeping the handrail of her stairs.
“I’m managing this place, so wouldn’t it be much more certain and comfortable to ask me?
Please, if you have any problems, please discuss it with me.”
“…Who is that?”
“Jackson Halton, guild leader.”
“Good. I think I can communicate well with you.”
Showing a happy face to the person in charge who appears in person,
In an instant, she fell to the floor and hit her head, moaning –
There was no one to protect the poor girl, who was staring at the floor, covering her mouth with her glaring yellow eyes.
The wound, which had become bright red, was suddenly spitting out yellow fluid, staining its owner’s hands.
Still, the girl could not hide her wounds.
Because the energy emanating from her horns and tail was weighing down her hands and feet, making it impossible for her to even raise her head.
Everyone was hoping that this moment would pass safely.
Except for one being with its red tail waving and its eyes raised as if it was about to hit someone at any moment.
“Then go upstairs -“
“No.
Get rid of all the trivialities of serving customers and hospitality.
Gella Luterrier.
Where is that b*tch now?”
The old man, who was the only one here who acted as if he had no fear, went further down the stairs,
I faced a purring dragon wearing armor.
A much larger body than most men,
Standing lonely in front of an energy that no human being can dare to emit,
The guild leader released his sword and placed it on the table.
“If you are talking about the girl who is called the demon hunter, then she must have received the village’s request.”
“Yes, I know.
Because I accompanied him.
But that b*tch kidnapped my son and didn’t even let me chase him.”
Did you like the old man’s calm demeanor, unlike others?
The red dragon slowly lowered its tail, dragged a chair over, and sat down.
A small teacup was placed in front of her quite naturally –
“I guess Hansi said it was urgent?”
As if to warn you not to mistake the brief display of warmth as goodwill,
She trembled through the air once, more violently than a wild beast.
This time, embarrassment appeared on her wrinkled face.
“…I’m sorry. I’m at an age where entertaining visitors has already become a habit.”
However, the skill he possessed allowed him to quickly move his old, creaky body and correct his wrong actions.
Like an old butler serving her, he stood by and asked the red woman another question.
“In short, do you want us to chase you for you?”
“I didn’t say it was a substitute.
I’m asking for things that will help me find the location myself.”
As if he liked his attitude, the dragon changed its attitude of grabbing the air and sitting upright and even lifted its tail.
Those who could not overcome their fear were only then able to get out of the door.
Those who remained were able to relax their grip on their weapons and welcome a brief rest.
“Do you want me to speak loudly?
Or do you want me to tell you the facts as they are?”
What shook it came with an old man’s sigh –
It was a question close to a complaint.
Everyone once again froze at that, but only the person talking to the guild leader raised the corner of his mouth as if it was amusing.
“I think I told you before that flattery doesn’t help anything, right?”
“In that case, could you promise that there will be no disadvantage whatsoever to what I will tell you in the future?”
“I don’t like repeating the same thing.
I hope you remember that fact.”
A harsh warning was issued in a warm tone.
It was clearly a soft voice, but Guild Leader Jackson had to wipe off the cold sweat with a handkerchief.
“It would take a lot of people to chase her in real time.
He is a skilled adventurer who escaped from the devil’s strict security network. Although he doesn’t know how to fight, he is better than anyone else at infiltration and tracking.
Because of this, you can gather news and infer where you are, but… It might be too much to follow in real time.
Of course, if you attach skilled trackers, you will be able to catch up to close range.”
“Is it possible to find that level of manpower in this small town?”
Admiration,
Or ridicule.
The raised eyes seemed filled with anticipation,
The smile on his lips only seemed fishy.
“…There must be one reason why the huge organization called the guild is still maintained.
Isn’t it to respond to this need?”
“hahahahaha!”
There was no malice in the laughter that finally broke out.
Rather, as if to praise the old man’s courage, she simply applauded briefly and stood up from her seat.
“As an evil dragon, I will make you a customer of the guild, La.
Can you handle it?”
“At least it would be better than hurting people’s feelings now and taking the lives of more people.”
However, the next words he spoke received a slap.
Although he is old, he has the strength and skill to easily overpower the adventurers present, to the point where they stumble.
“Should I speak clearly?
It’s not me who hurts people because I want to.
Especially after falling in love with a human child.
I don’t want to keep doing things that I don’t like. Do you see what I mean?
It was your dirty greed that pushed me like this, and I didn’t have any malicious intent.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
Many young people were angry at the absurdity before their eyes,
The person who lowered his head while covering his swollen cheek was just calmly sorting out his emotions.
Perhaps it was best for him to appease a being that would cause more misfortune beyond this village.
“Make a good plan and deliver it to me, along with documents containing the personal information of those who will be included in the tracking team.
How long will it take?”
“There is a backlog of work, but if you give it priority, you can report right away even in the evening.”
“I see. Then I’ll ask you that.
In the meantime… Gella Luterrier, I would also like to ask for the identity of that b*tch.”
“We’ll prepare it right at the desk.”
The old man still could not take his eyes off Rosaria, who calmly closed her eyes as if satisfied with the answers given.
I was worried.
I wonder if something more will happen suddenly?
Concern about taking out one’s anger on people.
However, it was interpreted differently by the recipient –
Soon something brown fell from the air and was placed in front of his feet.
“Should I do a few more requests?
I hope we can deliver compensation money to those who were injured.
If there are any additional medical expenses, we will cover all of them, and use whatever is left over for the destroyed furniture and the initial request.”
The pocket was so full of gold coins that it made her eyes widen as she was tired of her irrationality.
The amount of money exchanged in documents was right in front of my eyes.
He felt momentarily distracted by the fact that it was being given to him by the person who seemed most unlikely to receive it –
“I will do so.”
He began delivering orders to his employees without saying anything.
Broken furniture was cleaned up, and those who complained were given a few gold coins.
A large amount of documents were poured onto the large desk, and people with rat tails each put on glasses and began to closely examine the map and personal information.
It was the moment the red dragon reached the world again.
