Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

you want to repel Dragons, 《Abyss Fire Extinguishing (Shin En Kametsu)》 is good at it, and if you want to take measures against Dragons, 《Silver Star Thunder (Ginsei Banrai)》 is more knowledgeable.
Yeah, Ark knows a lot more than I do.
He is a Dragon Master.
I am sure he will be able to ride a Dragon one day.” (Cry)

　Well, it’s just that I don’t know much about Dragons.
　Ark is well known by the Empire and is mild-mannered, so he will be able to handle it well.

　No, what I am trying to say is that you should stop calling me every time something happens.
You should call someone more knowledgeable.

“All I’m saying is, don’t call me until you at least need me.” (Cry)

“Cry, you can stop now.” (Gark)

“Okay.” (Cry)

　Gark popped out a blue vein and threatened me with a low voice when I was arguing in a cool way because I was in front of my “Sister (Imouto)”.
　So I quickly put my hands on my knees in a quick, well-behaved motion.
I can’t wait to go home.

　The Commander took a deep breath and slowly spoke up.

“………… The Dragon that attacked the Imperial Castle has already been defeated.
As you have said, there was 《Silver Lightning Star (Ginsei Banrai)》inside the Castle yesterday.” (Commander)

　Fhuuun.
Isn’t it fine then? It is already solved then.
You are lucky that Ark was there.

’
　The Commander continued when I made a serious face while not thinking of anything useful.

“The Dragon came straight for the Imperial Castle.
It was an adult Crimson Dragon.
I checked the records and this is the first time something like this has happened since the Imperial Capital has been built here.” (Commander)

“Well, there’s a first time for everything.
I have had a lot of firsts too.” (Cry)

“Cry, stop joking around!” (Gark)

　Even though I wasn’t joking around, Gark-san was angry at me.
It was so unreasonable.
　In the first place, since I came to the Imperial Capital, all major incidents that occurred in the Imperial Capital were a first for me.
I wonder if this city is cursed.

“Dragons do not attack human settlements for no reason.
All of us agreed that there must have been something in the Castle that the Dragon was after.” (Commander)

” ”

“I see…… That must have been catastrophic……………… No, wait a sec? If it was aiming for something in the Castle, wouldn’t the Dragon have attacked long ago?” (Cry)

　Some Dragons have a tendency to accumulate gold, silver, and other treasures, and when their treasures are stolen, they immediately become furious and would come to the ends of the earth to retrieve them.
　Those legendary beasts boast great strength and intelligence but are in no way generous.
There are some parts in them that think that humans are just food that is a bit inedible.

　In other words, it is highly likely that this 『Thing』 was brought into the Castle recently.
　At my deduction, the Commander finally hit the table strongly.

“E-Enough playing around! In our opinion, that Thing is ―― the Dragon Egg that you gave to Her Imperial Highness!” (Commander)

’

“………… Heh?” (Cry)

　I opened my eyes at what he unexpectedly said.
　Most dragons are oviparous, but they only lay one egg at a time.
Indeed if it was snatched away, the Dragon would be furious and would immediately go get it back.

　But that souvenir wasn’t a Dragon Egg.
As I explained, it was an Onsen Egg, named Onsen Dragon Egg.
　It was one of the many things they were selling, and it was just a chicken egg.
So, I frowned.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! And thank you Joshua for the ko-fi! I’ll post an extra chapter this Sunday!
Hahaha, are they thinking that the Dragon came because of Cry’s gift?
When they find out that it’s just a chicken egg! Hahaha!
I can so see their dumbfounded faces when they were really careful about the egg but finally discovered that’s just a chicken egg! XD
Tchao à plus!
