Chapter 12: (2)

Id have to decline. I kinda forced myself a bit too much to protect the hot spring resort when it was being attacked by the dragon back then, you see I may have already recovered from my injuries, but Im not quite in my top state, yet. Ill let you guys take the credit for this one.

Tanaka declined the invitation with a mature and composed expression on his face.

Thats a shame. Well take you up on your offer and defeat it without reservation then.

Without a hint of concern for the fact that her invitation was rejected, she moved to return to her group after casually giving him such a triumph declaration. Tanaka addressed Homuras leaving back without even turning around.

Let me give you a word of advice. That one is the dragon which devastated the hot spring resort Be careful, its strong.

Ill keep that in mind.

Homura paused for a moment and replied as such without even turning around before continuing to return to her group.

Being young sure is nice. for they know not what fear is, how enviable.

Tanaka floated a smile as he emptied his cup of milk. He was intoxicated by how cool he had carried himself there, as he watched over these youngsters who were about to challenge a powerful enemy.

You havent even met the dragon, do you?

The tavern old man, who had been listening in silence until then, finally couldnt help but speak up with a look of exasperation on his face.

The other day at the tavern, they seemed to be holding a celebration as they had finished gathering all the information about the dragon.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

A few days later, early in the morning, the group of guild members, having all of their preparation to slay the dragon done, departed for the mountain ranges.

As the group departed, Echigoya anxiously saw them off from a window on the second floor of the guild. At the same time, in a certain room of a certain inn, Tanaka was in the middle of his journey through a pink-colored dream land.

The dragon subjugation group arrived in the mountain ranges without any notable problems. After spending the night there, they set out the next day to scout the area where the dragon was rumored to be still roaming around at.

They soon discovered a cave that was assumed to be the dragons sleeping quarters, and then proceeded with the confirmation of the details of their plan. They decided to carry out the dragon slaying operation the day after.

Currypan the great sword, who had already had his guard up, somehow managed to evade this attack. However, he only barely managed to evade it, as it turned out to be way faster that hed expected. Then, before he noticed it, the dragons fangs were already coming at him in rapid succession.

It was a very swift attack which even Currypan, who had obtained physical enhancement, failed to react to it. That movement ignored both arrows and attack magic which were raining on it.

Currypan the great sword got swallowed up and teared aparts by the dragon.

Re! Retreat!

Someone shouted. No, maybe everyone did.

The dragon slaying operation had been going very smoothly up until just a moment ago. However, the current dragon standing in front of them showed power which was world aparts from the one they had been facing earlier, which made it as though it was a different creature altogether.

The attack that caught Currypan the great sword earlier was enough to make everyone there aware of that fact, as the subjugation group quickly moved into a retreat.

As expected they were still a group of C-rankers, it could be said that they just got unlucky as they had to face such an abnormal opponent.

The jet-black dragon swiftly chased after the retreating subjugation group as though a hunter hunting its prey.

Meanwhile, Tanaka was originally hunting monsters at the surroundings of the town, however, before he knew it, he seemed to have gotten lost and moved a bit too far away from the town.
