Former S-class hunter, ahead

“Eh, Escaliborg …”

　It must have been the name of a legendary weapon in Dwarven folk tales.

　Depending on the dwarves living in each land, the shape may be a sword, a great sword, or a lump of metal, but Vicky had a huge sword.

　However, the blade has no sharp edge. Rather than slashing, the usage of hitting is correct.

　In that sense, the word “iron block” comes to mind.

　The big sword is too thick, heavy, and rough.

　There is no fragment of sophistication. It was such an awkward thing that I couldn’t believe it was made by a dwarf with a dexterous hand.

“Vicky, is that …?”

“Hmm? this? Okay. My new companion. The name is Escaliborg.”

　Vicky holds Escaliborg to show off her toy.

“Did you make it?”

　When I pointed it out, it seems that she finally understood the intent of my question. Vicky’s face turned red.

“Chi, Chiga–. No, no, that’s right! There is a reason for this here and there!”

　She tells me an excuse in a hurry.

　Let me tell you, Vicky is a person comparable to my disciple, pure, but not clumsy.

　There are only races that specialize in making things, and dwarves are generally dexterous, and Vicky is no exception.

　When I think that what she made is such a ugly big sword, I have no choice but to believe it.

“I couldn’t help it! It was the first metal I’d deal with this time, so it was difficult to process … The dwarf’s magic tool didn’t make any sense.”

“Metal used for the first time …?”

　Perhaps it is the ore called Adamantite used in Escaliborg?

“Does Adamantite really exist?”

“That’s right! That’s why I made this one.”

　She raised Escaliborg high.

　Immediately after, the flames fell. It is an attack by the dragon chimera.

　Don’t forget about me, I’m mercilessly blazing.

　I don’t know! If nothing is done, the forest will be burned down. I won’t be able to hike with Ciel …!

　I get angry and stare at the dragon chimera, but I can’t help it.

　Fuck! If this is the case, I should have been fully equipped.

　Meanwhile, there was something that jumped toward the dragon chimera.

　Needless to say.

　Vicky.

　A big deal that is one size larger than the club she always has. In addition, the metals used appear to be much heavier than iron and copper.

　Even though it was difficult to jump with it, Vicky lightly jumped to the height at which the dragon chimera swirled.

“Oh ah ah ah ah ah !!”

　The spirit of the fissure echoes like thunder.

　Escaliborg, swung up in reaction to jumping up, is listed in the upper row.

She aimed at the dragon chimera’s brain and swung it down.

　Crush!

　There was an unpleasant sound that made me want to turn my face away. In fact, the head of the dragon chimera is crushed this time.

　The thick scales that withstood the blow of the club broke like rocks.

　Furthermore, the blade of Escaliborg smashes its body, bones, and fangs.

　The wings of the dragon chimera cramp.

　When the giant stopped, it began to fall freely and fell to the ground.

　A roaring sound echoes in the quiet Faust Forest.

　It was Vicky who came down from the sky late.

“Fu …”

　She takes a breather, puts Escaliborg on her shoulder and grins.

“How is it, Zelet! This time I won!”

　”I wasn’t competing separately, but …”

　”Is that the howling of a losing dog?”

　She was ahead of the target prey. Certainly it can be said that I was defeated.

　However, the power of Escaliborg is real. To crush the scales that have the properties of a black armor dragon.

　Vicky’s talent may be a big factor, but if Adamantite is real, it’s safe to say that it’s a battle for it now.

　I wanted to say this if I could get it.

　I head with Vicky to the place where the Dragon Chimera fell.

　The dragon chimera was lying down with a large hole.

　I inspect the head.

　After all, it cracked wonderfully. The scales are also shattered. I am terrified by the power of Escaliborg again.

“Are you regretting? You’re regretting, Zelet!

　Vicky fanned like a child. I didn’t feel like I was being fanned.

　I ignored her and continued the inspection. Vicky started telepathy with her magic stone. She is probably in contact with her employer.

“Eh? It’s okay! I defeated it! The quality of the meat …? I don’t know that. I was told just to defeat it!”

　I’m worried about something.

　If she reported the defeated state, the person in charge would have been sharp.

(In this head condition, the quality of the meat seems to be bad)

　Looking at the crushed head and thinking about that, I noticed something was wrong.

　I stretched from the crushed head and searched the remaining body.

　It does not have…….

(Is it due to the nature of Garuda? No, but this is strange … No way —)

“got it……”

“What’s wrong, Zelet. Well, did you lose to me and go crazy?”

“No, it’s not. Rather, I’ve finally regained my composure.”

“Huh … ??”

　Reunion with Vicky. Sudden start of hunt. Escaliborg …….

　It seems that my own brain wasn’t working well because of a series of intense events.

　I didn’t come to hunt in the first place.

　I just came to see the hiking trail with Ciel …

　It seems that my hunter’s point of view was dull due to the blank of 3 years.

　And finally I woke up.

　I feel it myself.

　Hunter … No, the awakening of the food provider Zelet Winter …

“Vicky … this is not the case.”

“what?”

　Vicky tilts her head.

　I raised my mouth and answered.

　”This is not a dragon chimera …”
