Act 2: Chapter 5: Magic City, Manarak

Finally, we arrived at the magic city, Manarak.

Upon arriving at the city, we bid farewell to the merchants and adventurers who were traveling together with us.

「Thank you very much. No, I’m really glad to be honored with your presence during our journey, Pomera-sama.」

The merchant who spoke to us kept bowing repeatedly towards Pomera.

「N-No, uhm, Pomera didn’t... do anything special at all... uhm, that’s...」

「OOH! SUCH HUMILITY! I NEVER EXPECTED THAT AARBUGH WOULD HAVE SUCH GREAT HERO!」

Pomera replied, almost crying, while sending a fleeting glance at me as if asking me to save her.

... Because of 《Evil God Apostle; Notes》’s incident in addition to Philia dropping the giant dragon incident, Pomera couldn’t escape anymore.

My apologies, Pomera. Your sacrifice won’t be in vain.

「Poor... Pomera.」

Philia muttered so upon looking at Pomera’s situation while nonchalantly tugging at my robe.

Though Philia spoke as if it was someone else’s business, the reason why Pomera was in such a sad state was mostly because of Philia dropping that progenitor dragon in front of everyone.

「Philia-chan... I’m happy that you moved to save me, but please stop making the progenitor dragon appear in front of so many people...」

When I said so to her, Philia hung her head down, seemingly dejected. She gripped onto my robe even more strongly than before.

「Sorry... Philia got too fired up. Philia will do as Kanata says. She won’t call Progenitor Dragon in front of many people again.」

「It’s good as long as you understand that.」

I patted Philia’s head.

Thank God.

It seems, Philia understood her fault this time and was reflecting on it properly. I guess she won’t carelessly summon the Progenitor Dragon again in the future.

The scale of it was way too huge to the point that I had no idea what to say anymore.

「Please accept our gratitude too!」

「Without you, we might’ve already ended up inside those monsters stomach right now!」The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

The other adventurers and merchants were also starting to gather around Pomera.

「N-No, t-that’s...」

Pomera, who wasn’t used to being surrounded by so many people, was completely flustered right now.

As expected, this might be bad for her.

「Oi, half-elf girl.」

A man wearing a robe and a pointed hat approached Pomera.

「Everyone, please don’t block Alfred-sama’s path! We’re really busy right now!」

The female swordsman who stood besides Alfred was trying to open the path.

「Making so much noise for a mere red troll... Even though I heard that the magic city Manarak has an S-rank adventurer... well the rumors said that adventurer is half-retiring right now... well, that person’s level might be not that high.」

Alfred was grumbling through his teeth.

Though he looked like someone whom I couldn’t get along with... seeing the crowd around him, I guess he was a popular figure.

「H-How embarrassing... it turned out to be not about Pomera...」

Pomera was holding her beret with a flushed red face.

... It seems she’s developed a trauma due to the excessive praise she’s received lately.

I really felt sorry for her, yet also felt a deep gratitude for her sacrifice.

I tried to confirm Alfred’s level with 《Status Check》.

Though I’m holding back from using 《Status Check》 on someone carelessly in fear of having my secret as a transferee getting exposed if I appraised the wrong person... I ended up losing against my curiosity.

Well, with so many people, he shouldn’t be able to find me even if he felt that I appraised him.

「... Not that powerful huh.」

I thought he was being humble or something, but he turned out to be even weaker than Pomera, far weaker.

Not even half of Lovis’ level.

Somehow, I felt that I was starting to lose the standard of the strong for this world the more I used 《Status Check》.

「Is something the matter, Kanata-san?」

Pomera was looking at me with a curious look on her face.

「No, it’s not an important matter.」
