“In a corner of the mountainous region to the north, lies the corpse of a huge dragon that a hero defeated long ago.

Listening to the explanation, Milim said;

“Hmm, isn’t the dragon a good material for humans? Why did he just leave it like that?”

Milim’s question was reasonable. Gihren took over the explanation.

“It was too big.”

“Too big…?

“Nowadays, even dragon species can be defeated by adventurers with enough power… but the heroes of that time didn’t have the technology to do so. And this dragon was so big that even current technology would have difficulty dealing with it. It was on a different level.”

“As a result, the dragon’s remains were left to rot and have been abandoned.”

“Now, the dragon’s bones have become a part of the terrain. And the dragon’s massive magic power has turned into a miasma and the surrounding area has become a lifeless land where no plants can grow.”

“Regularly, priests were tasked with exorcizing the miasma, but now the highest priest here is effectively in hiding.”

He was talking about Quella.

“So, that’s why you’ve been singled out, Land.”

“I see… ”

Well, I was probably the best suited for it, other than the priestess.

But, there’s one thing that’s bothering me.

“I’ll investigate, but I can’t promise to solve the problem.”

“Dammit… you’re quick to catch on… ”

“That’s why I think it’s best to be honest with him.”

Nina-san scolded Gihren.

It seemed like there was more to this.

“Oh well… don’t tell anyone about this conversation, okay?”

“Milim, are you okay with this?”

“You’re the only one I can talk to about this.” She replied.

“I see… ”

So, I turned to Gihren and waited for him to continue.

“Recently, the dragon’s graveyard has been enveloped in miasma unlike any seen in the guild’s records.”

“So, it is already confirmed that something is definitely abnormal… ”

“In the worst case scenario, this request will turn into… ”

“A dragon zombie extermination quest. And, it’ll be the worst one in history.”

Milim was the first to react.

“How interesting.”

For some reason, Milim’s eyes were shining.

“By the way, if the opponent is a dragon zombie, can Milim win by herself?”

“Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t think so… it’s too big.”

“Then… ”

“I think it’s overestimated.”

“Well, I also think that if it were Land, it would be fine. Of course, if it became a dragon zombie, I would raise a guild alert and create a subjugation team. Fighting with just you guys is only really good or bad luck.”

“Yes, Land-san should be fine.”

“Where is the basis for that…?”

Both Gihren and Nina-san are quite appropriate…

“Well, if something happens, I’ll take care of it.” Milim said.

“Please…”

I had a feeling Milim could do something about it, so I trusted her.

“Alright! The conversation is settled.”

“And then… would it be okay for Milim-san to register as an adventurer?”

“Adventurer…! Can I also become one!?”

“Of course. We do not discriminate against other races.”

Milum, with sparkling eyes, looked at me and said,

“Humans aren’t something to be thrown away!”

“Well, I’m glad you like us so far.”

Originally, we were comrades, so I intended to do this, but I didn’t say that.
