Irina Borisovna Orlova.

A world-famous Russian S-class hunter.

The owner of the Wego Weapon, a weapon imbued with ego, along with Greece’s Aegis and Britain’s Excalibur.

His nickname as a hunter is ‘Boris’, a short form of ‘Borislav’, which means ‘glory of war’.

A glorious title earned by suddenly appearing and saving Russia in a situation where the country’s survival was at stake due to an attack by thousands of monsters that poured out of a crack.

Her routine was very simple.

Looking down on the snow-covered land of the motherland from a huge castle-like mansion built for her, the hero and protector of the country.

Then, when a dungeon is created, go in and attack it, and when a villain appears, chase it and kill it.

On days when nothing happens, I just immerse myself in peace, quietly close my eyes and face the next day.

An extremely monotonous, isolated life.

Some people ask

Isn’t it boring to live like that?

Don’t you want to talk to someone, eat, or play?

That was wrong.

She is always talking, eating together, and playing a little.

With none other than the self that resides in my sword, Snow Bringer.

A chessboard placed on a table.

She points at the sword placed across from her.

“It’s not that difficult of a move, so why does it take so long?”

It’s already been 1 minute.

Even in a cornered situation, an opponent who has never used it for more than 15 seconds rarely moves.

So she got up and touched the sword.

My face crumples as I feel the cold touch.

“… What is this?”

I don’t feel it.

His ego, which should reside in the sword.

It comes to mind at the same time.

An incident from a few years ago when he suddenly disappeared somewhere and then reappeared.

he said

-“I went to have fun for a while. There’s a guy who does some pretty interesting things.”

It was a first time.

The fact that he is interested in others rather than himself.

Even leaving my side.

He laughed inexplicably and spoke again.

-“I’d like to introduce you to you someday. I think it will be a pretty good picture.”

Thanks to this, I became curious.

Who on earth is the person who caught the attention of that noble being?

I wanted to ask her in many ways, but she didn’t.

‘I said I would introduce you, so it won’t be too late to see you then.’

Since he said so, whether it is late or early, the meeting with that being is a promise.

I decided to put my curiosity aside for then.

A lot of time passed like that.

For both her and Snow Bringer, interest in that existence was slowly cooling off.

The same thing happened.

The person who was my chess opponent disappeared without a word.

“… Is it the same person?”

Probably so.

It is not easy for two similar incidents to happen to different people.

She quietly put down her sword, returned to the chair across from her, sat down, and waited.

I hope he comes back.

After some time passed like that.

『Sorry for leaving your seat during chess.』

His voice was heard.

It looks like he just returned from a meeting.

“Is it him again? Something that aroused your interest in the past.”

『Yes, that’s right. I’m sure he was just a kid at the time, but he became a big deal while I didn’t even see him.』

At his praise, which exceeded her expectations, her cold eyes, as if carved from ice, caught my attention.

“… A big guy?”

Even though we’ve been together for a long time, she still doesn’t know much about that existence.

However, one thing I learned is that he must have had great skills in the past.

So, the evaluation of others, including oneself, is very, very, very poor.

The word ‘big name’ comes from such a person.

After the lights went out, a small fire sparked in her interest, which had cooled off.

“You told me then. I said I would meet you someday. I think the time has come.”

Rather than asking, I wanted to see.

What kind of person is this?

How strong.

Also, what kind of mysterious abilities does it possess?

When she secretly fussed, Snow Bringer responded.

『They already suggested it to you.』

Her head tilts.

“… proposal? What is it?”

He answered her question as she looked very curious.

『If you want to participate in the Dragon Raid, come see me.』

“… Dragon Raid?”

A look on his face that was colder than the bitter cold that enveloped Russia cracked me up.

* * *

The selection process is over.

No matter how young the opponent is, he is still a dragon.

In order to deal with the enemy called the scourge of humanity, you must assemble the strongest party.

The people I called in that way are, at least as far as I know, the best experts.

First of all, Han Joo-yeon.

She arrived at the Vatican before anyone else, and as soon as she saw me, she ran over and hugged me.

In a place where it was just the two of us, we started nagging.

“Does your brother-in-law have any ideas or not?! It’s a dragon raid. The dragon is not some kind of local goblin… !”

“No, it’s not okay to have goblins in the neighborhood… .”

“Be quiet!”

“Yes.”

Did they say you can’t fool blood?

At times like this, she looks just like my sister, very much.

I obediently listened to the barrage of nagging.

And then we had sex.

Very salty.

So that the other person’s emotions are colored only with pleasure.

In my experience, that was the only way to get rid of the emotional rift between us.

After making love, she lay down on the wet bed and complained while being held in my arms.

“Ha… , really. If you’re going to do it, prepare thoroughly. If my brother-in-law dies, I will die too.”

“Okay, okay.”

This solved the problem.

Angela decided to be together right away, so it was okay.

The next person to come was Old Man Merlin.

As soon as he arrived, he started swearing.

“Do you have depression at all?”

“There is nothing like that.”

“But why are you trying to commit suicide? I’m not even alone, I embrace everyone around me.”

Even if you say that, definitely.

“Didn’t we invite them in because it was worth catching? To be honest, you thought it was worth a try, so you came all the way here using all your magical energy.”

“Kuhm… .”

Old Merlin swallows and closes his mouth.

It seems like he has nothing to say, but doesn’t want to admit it.

I guess I need to break it once before I start.

“And I wasn’t going to say this, old man.”

“What do you mean?”

“Space magic, when are you going to let me use it?”

“Well, that is.”

Old man Merlin is greatly embarrassed.

Judging by his expression, it looks like something is not going as he wants.

I throw a threat at him.

“We don’t have much time now, old man. If you don’t give me good news soon, I’ll come visit you in person, really.”

The old man asks, his face turning slightly white.

“… What are you going to do when you come here?”

“Whatever.”

I continue speaking while smiling as grimly as possible.

“I’ll leave that to your imagination, hehe.”

“… … .”

A face that hardens.

I don’t know what he was imagining, but it seems like his threat worked.

“Keu… , I will handle it properly, so don’t even go near England, you disaster bastard.”

“… … .”

Seup.

Something feels a little off.

Why do I have to listen to the disaster because of what I did?

“Anyway… , for now, don’t follow what you say. But know one thing.”

“Please tell me.”

“I will never step forward unless I have enough potential and a plan to do it.”

“That’s natural.”

“Hmph, I need to get some rest.”

Old Man Merlin walks away at a faltering pace.

Even though he speaks like an old man, he is definitely capable of one thing.

His spatial magic can be helpful in many ways when fighting dragons.

For example, fixing the wings to make it impossible to engage in aerial combat.

Something like sending the breath pouring directly at us into a completely different space.

It can also be used as a means of escape in case of an emergency.

There are endless things you can do.

It’s not for nothing that space magic is considered Britain’s pride.

“Okay, then we are almost there.”

Almost everyone who was worthy of coming came.

Now there is only one person left.

In some ways, the most important person.

“Will it really come?”

Although I have conveyed the message well, it is not easy to predict whether she will actually come here.

To begin with, he is famous for not leaving his home country often.

Moreover, he is famous for never directing his gaze to places that do not interest him.

If dragon raids aren’t her thing… , there is a high probability that it will not come.

“What… If you wait, you will get the answer.”

If it comes, it will come.

If you don’t come… , At that time, we had no choice but to activate plan B.

Pass the time calmly, looking forward, but without obsession.

Sometimes I experiment with Angela.

Sometimes, I get to know Juyeon.

And sometimes… , while also collecting information about dragons with old man Merlin.

About a week passed like that.

“… Should I give up soon?”

After all the deadlines I had set in my mind had passed, it was time to turn my mind to the second plan.

A familiar yet gigantic presence steps onto the narrow land of the city-state.

At the same time, an unfamiliar, cold energy is felt.

I realized this as soon as I felt it.

“You’re here.”

The person I was waiting for finally answered my call and arrived here.
