2 - 2 Overwhelming sense of freedom

Two days had passed since I had declared my insulation to Elma.

I was about to accept a quest at the guild in the port town of Hagay.

Up until now, I had been privileged to receive charity from the people, but from now on, I would have to provide everything myself.

It must be hard to start things from scratch, but in front of this overwhelming sense of freedom, nothing seemed trivial.

No one yelled at me for bringing drinks too late, no one threw plates at me for bad food.

How wonderful freedom is!

I stood in front of the bulletin board with a smile on my face.

"Hmmm, did something good happen to you?"

I was then approached by a woman at the reception desk.

She was a soft-looking woman with a cute smile.

She is a soft-looking woman with a cute smile. "Oh, no, I was just naturally in a happy mood. ......

I smiled shyly, and the woman smiled again and said, "Oh, I see.

I am not a fan of the "soft" style, but I am a fan of the "soft" style. My name is Lisa. Are you here to accept a quest?

Yes, I'm Iguza. My name is Iguza. Do you have any recommendations for quests?　Even if it's a little difficult, I think I can handle it.

After all, I am an "immortal.

I'm an "invulnerable" person, and my recovery speed is almost instantaneous, so I can do anything I want to do.

I'm sure you're right, how about this quest to collect the Lizard's Scales?　There is a flying dragon nest nearby, so there is some risk, but if you go with a proper party, I think you should be able to accomplish it.

I understand. Then, please do that.

"Yes, sir.

Before, I was being rushed by Elma to take orders, so I didn't have time to pay attention to the procedure, but now I was able to watch it with a very peaceful feeling.

While I was thinking about how beautiful the handwriting was, the procedure was completed.

I was thinking how beautiful the handwriting was. The condition for achieving this goal is to deliver 20 Lizard Scales.

I understand. I'm going to go now.

Okay. Take care.

With a smiling Lisa-san seeing me off, I left the guild and headed straight for the mountainous area where the Lizard often appears.

Lisa told me I should form a party, but I wouldn't die, and I could get a lot of money if I took the job alone.

At any rate, I'm going to try to make it as far as I can.

By the way, my skill is to heal wounds instantly, but it also seems to apply to stamina, so I don't get tired at all no matter how much I run.

And since growth is not inhibited, the more I ran, the stronger my legs became, and I was running up the mountain path at a speed like the wind.

I was running up the mountain road as fast as the wind.

I looked around the area and looked for the Lizard.

The Lizard is a reptilian monster, poisonous and inedible, but its strong scales can be used to make armor, and they are inexpensive, so they are very useful for new adventurers.

I am not a novice adventurer, but I was not the first one to buy expensive equipment, so Elma said, "Why should I go out of my way to buy expensive equipment for you? I'm not a novice, but I'm still wearing the same old Lizard equipment because Elma wanted me to.

Oh, there he is!

Anyway, we quickly found our prey.

A lizard of about two meters in length was walking slowly.

So I quietly approached it from behind.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

What?

--BAKK!

At that moment, I was head-butted by something that came flying in from behind me.

I was not sure what had happened for a moment.

For a moment, I didn't know what had happened.

However, considering the fact that I was obviously in the stomach, I must have been eaten.

The reason why I am so calm is because the situation was so out of the blue.

Come to think of it, they said there was a flying dragon nest nearby. ......

I picked up my nose and thought to myself, "What's that smell?

The most important thing to remember is that you can't die from the stench.

I'm not going to stay in a place like this forever, no matter how long I'm not dead.

So I decided to try to escape.

You!

With a "thud!　I thrust the dagger into the stomach wall and ripped it open with all my might.

"Gigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Ooooh!?"

Then a sudden feeling of levitation hit me, and we fell, spinning in circles.

--We fell, spinning in a circle.

OHBUHHH!?"

Then I soared back to the ground, slashed further down the stomach wall with my dagger, and finally succeeded in escaping.

I thought, "Oh, I thought I was going to die~ ......, eh?"

But what I saw there were adventurers with a wide variety of weapons in their hands, looking surprised, as well as people who were probably residents of the town.

Apparently, they had fallen into a town somewhere.

As I was sweating coldly, my eyes suddenly met those of a woman I recognized.

"Oh, you're ......?

Yes, it was Lisa, the lady who took my quest order at the guild in the port town of Hargey.

In other words, this is Hagei.

I am glad to be back for now, but the problem is the cost of repairing the town.

From the looks of it, they've gutted the streets pretty spectacularly. ......

Oh, um, .......

Huh, yes?"

I asked the stunned Lisa in a lowly manner.

'It's Lizard's quest, and this doesn't mean you're going to deliver it, does it ......?'

'Yes. Yes. .......'

Naturally, Lisa-san seemed puzzled, not knowing what to say.

Incidentally, after the next day, I became known as the "Dragon Slayer" and feared.

And I received more than enough money to cover the cost of repairs.

So I changed my equipment to something a little better.

Lisa said it looked cool, and I was very happy.
