quiet sky.

The sun had already disappeared and the beautifully twinkling stars were welcoming me.

In the present, everyone has won the war against the demons and even defeated the dragon that almost led to Euryral’s destruction.

I was so intoxicated with joy that I couldn’t help but enjoy the festival.

“Eventually, the truth became known to ordinary elves. What..”

It wasn’t a bad result.

What if we lost the war?

What if Euryral was destroyed by the dragon?

A commotion like this was unthinkable.

“What are you doing here? Our hero of Euryral.”

“Hero… That would be a job name.”

“The profession of hero has long since disappeared. The last time I saw you was 32 years ago. Because there hasn’t been any since then.”

Mariana sat down next to me with her buttocks pressed together.

In her hands was one wine and two glasses.

“How about it? Would you like to have a drink with me?”

“It’s alcohol given by the queen. Of course I should get it.”

I was handed a glass and took a sip of the wine she poured.

A sweet yet faint aroma of alcohol that enters your mouth.

It was quite delicious.

“How about it? The special taste of wine that only the queen can drink.”

“Definitely. It’s okay.”

Because I couldn’t taste it during the gaming days.

For things like hunger, I only looked for simple and quick solutions.

So even if you already knew that this type of wine exists. I didn’t bother to look for it.

“So what’s going on here?”

“That’s what I want to say… I’m thinking of leaving now.”

I didn’t tell anyone.

There is no need to dampen the mood when you are enjoying the festival.

I was planning on having a little conversation tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

“Even if you don’t say it, everyone else knows. He said the reason he came here was to meet me, and he achieved that purpose. All work to be done is done. It’s natural to go somewhere else. You’ve always done it that way.”

It’s always been that way…

It wasn’t wrong.

Even in the gaming days, the moment the quests that can be received in the area end.

Because I moved to another area without leaving any regrets.

Then it’s the next quest. New counter. Interesting story Lastly, I only cared about becoming stronger.

There was no time to worry about anything else.

I was a latecomer, not a player who started playing the game as soon as it started.

I had to get stronger quickly in order to catch those at the top of the rankings.

“But unlike before, I have a bit of leeway now. It’s okay.”

“Leisure.. It sure looks like that.”

Mariana nodded and agreed.

“So what is the real purpose of coming here?”

There was no way she would come visit me without a reason.

Rather than following us, we decided to stay here.

Even more so.

“It’s nothing special. Just… please take good care of the two princesses.”

“….”

Following us instead of Mariana were two sister princesses.

Sariana and Mariana.

Because Sariana received strength on behalf of Mariana. I could understand.

However, Mariana was worried.

“Is it okay? The opponent I’m fighting now wouldn’t be possible without the queen’s power.”

“I’m not worried. Ryuk will raise you well.”

“..Is there anything I can do.”

There is a lot of money like before. It wasn’t something that could be done wisely.

Just like with Kar, Mariana, and Alpha.

Even if it’s not the complete first time. A huge amount of money was needed to erase useless skills and teach necessary skills.

“I understand what you’re worried about. Don’t worry about money. Here.”

A card held between Mariana’s covered fingers.

What card is it? When I checked, I was surprised.

“Hey. This…”

“It’s okay. It’s no big deal if you think of it as an investment for Euryral’s future. You can use it as much as you like.”

The card I received was a card containing Euryral’s funds.

If you show this to any town, you can use it like a credit card.

To put it simply, it was a black card with an unlimited limit.

“You can do this as you please.. ”

right.

This guy was the queen of this place.

Even though I made her a queen, her actions were quite far from those of a queen.

At first, I felt the power of a queen.

As time goes by, she only appears to be bickering with Karr, so she is not a queen…

It looked like an untamed puppy.

Of course, the moment I bring this up.

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as infinite arrows would fly towards my head.

“Thank you. I will never use it in vain.”

“Of course. Where did you do what and what did you pay for? Because all reports come to me. If you use it for even the slightest use, I will come and put an arrow hole in the cub’s head.”

“That… huh? Beast?”

Why are you putting an arrow hole in Kar’s head and not my head?

Sigh..

It would be better not to ask either.

I looked at the corners of Mariana’s mouth that went up in an unusual way.

There was only fear.

*

Today, three days have passed since the end of the festival where everyone was happy and excited.

We were packing.

Even if it’s luggage, take the items you need for your own inventory.

I only purchased items that were lacking.

“Heung, heung~♪”

“You look in a good mood?”

“Yes? of course! Today I can go shopping with my father, which I had failed to do before!”

Afrieh seemed to be in such good spirits that he could fly into the sky right away.

Well, when I tried to go shopping before, I got interrupted and it ended up being a failure.

It’s different now than then.

Perhaps Mariana has planted an invisible guard around us.

I felt surveillance here and there.

‘Can we say that it was hidden?’

Still, with that level of ability, it’s like an ordinary elf.

There won’t be any disturbing guys like before.

“Is there anything you want to buy?”

“Hmm… I’ve recently run out of magic ingredients, so I’m thinking of buying them now. Euryral sells plants that are difficult to find in human villages.”

The items sold in each village were slightly different.

There were also items sold only in specific regions, such as local specialties.

“Ah! found! this. Give me everything!”

“You mean everything?! Well.. this is quite an expensive item.. do you have money?..”

The merchant looked us up and down and decided that we didn’t seem to have much money.

It looked like he was roughly trying to deal with it.

‘I didn’t know I’d bring this up already.’

I took out the black card I had put in my inventory.

Flash!

Even though it was a matte card, a blindingly powerful light passed through our eyes.

“Well, that is..! Sorry! I couldn’t believe that he was an acquaintance of the queen.. Please, save me!”

I wonder if the businessman finally realized who he had touched.

It fell right on the floor.

As I felt a vibration coming from the back of my head, I was momentarily amazed by the queen’s power and swept up all the items.

“Heh. I can’t believe I can get so many ingredients. You are lucky today!”

Afrieh showed a bright expression while holding both hands full of expensive ingredients.

When I saw her like that, I felt that light daily life was okay.

The next area we’re going to is… a place where we can never relax like we do now.

The moment you make a mistake there.

Someone could have died.

‘We need to prepare as much as possible here.’

Even if you want to be fully prepared. That was impossible.

Because there is no such thing as perfection anywhere in the world.

“Now go back and talk to everyone…”

It was then.

Tiring!

A quest window appeared in front of me.

[Quest: Preparation for perfection]

The goddess shrinks her heart when she sees the apostle telling her to leave for a dangerous area. Thorough preparation is needed to calm the goddess’ mind.

If not. You may be imprisoned here in Euryral.

Condition: Queen’s permission.

In case of failure: Imprisoned underground in the World Tree. (It transfers when you go outside♡)

“What is this..”

I looked up at the sky and frowned at the goddess.

“Preparation for perfection… I guess I’ll have to find a guild first.”

If you don’t want to be imprisoned. I had to change my destination.

Although the last heart is a bit annoying.

*

“This is it.”

“Are you really here? There’s nothing?”

Chambang Chambang.

Water up to your feet.

Two people walking on it.

On top of one person’s head is a demon with two horns.

A man wearing full body armor and face armor.

“Be quiet. Vasago. There is a lot of talk about the topic of running away.”

“When did I run away! That’s… yes, a strategic retreat.”

“The weak said that cutting off their tail and running away was a strategic retreat.”

“…this…to die. And instead of cutting off your tail, you roll up your tail and run away.”

“That’s it.”

Vassago was so frustrated that he wanted to rip his hair out right now.

“Ha.. I have to endure it.”

Vassago has no choice but to hold back his hands from shaking.

A man walking in front of her with no sound of water under his feet.

I couldn’t attack Drake.

“So, is there something you’re looking for?”

“No, there is none.”

“….What does that mean? Just because it’s obvious! I came here following orders from the Chief of Staff!”

“You took a foolish step.”

“…I guess it was a pointless step.”

“That’s it.”

I sighed, calmed down the anger in my heart, and asked a question.

“What are you looking for here?”

It is for “. A dragon that has lived for over 1,000 years.”

“Yong..? I think he might be a dragon slayer. Just seeing a dragon makes me go crazy. Anyway, there isn’t one, right? Then let’s go.”

“Wait a minute. I can feel the energy of the dragon from over there. Going that way.”

“Wait.”

Vassago had no choice but to stop Drake’s movements.

“Not over there. The staff told me not to mess with Euryral anymore. So, go back now.”

“….I don’t like it.”

“He said he would tell the boss if he refused.”

“…I understand. I’m going back today. Still..”

Drake glanced at Euryl, then at the guy hiding in the other bushes, and then quenched his appetite.

“It’s a waste. It’s been a while since I hunted a dragon.”
