Chapter 10

I arrived at the final stop in the journey, the city called Fallieres .

It seems that the city has been informed by the guards at the fortress, so Feru could enter without any fuss .

It wasn’t as much as the tax when entering the country, however, it was a bit painful that we had to pay taxes again when entering the city . (2 silver coins for my entry while Feru’s entry was 1 silver coin)

After passing through the gates, as Werner-san had predicted, a messenger from Margrave Lindell was already waiting for me .

“Is this Makooda-sama? I am the messenger from the Margrave . You may call me Edmond, nice meeting you . Actually, the Margrave has expressed his interest in having a meeting with you . ”

Ah-it has come, an invitation to a trap .

I have no wish to have the meeting though .

I don’t plan to stay in this country for too long either .

I have to reject this politely .

“No way, I am just a mere traveller, how can I meet with the Margrave who is such an awe-inspiring person . ”

“Nono, Margrave Lindell has insisted on this . ”

“Nonono”

“Me too, nonono, please follow me . ”

In the midst of the heated conversation, Feru came closer .

[Oi, you there . Can you see my master does not want to have the meeting?]

“T-This, F-Fenrir-sama . F-Fenrir-sama, please come along too . ”

The appearance of Feru made Edmond scared but he continued to force a smile while talking .

[Fuu, so pretentious . I too do not want to meet with the Margrave . There were such foolish humans in the past, so I know he is probably eyeing my powers . ]

“No, nononono, we don’t have such i-intenti … . ”

[Stop lying . Do you want to know what happens to those foolish humans that tried to make use of my powers? Hmm?]

“Hi,hiiiiii”

Edmond ran off while screaming after seeing Feru bare his fangs at him .

“Feru, that’s too much . ”

“Those kind of stupid people have to be taught the hard way . ”

Hehe, is that so?

“Is it alright to conduct yourself like that towards Margrave Lindell’s messenger? Those aristocrats care a lot about their reputation, thus, he might do something in return . ”

Werner-san’s concerns are quite valid .

I didn’t expect Feru and myself to go that far earlier .

[Your concerns are unnecessary . If anything happens, I will happily take on their challenge . ”

Ohh, I would rely on you Feru-san .

“Hmm, if Feru-sama is going to do that, it would be alright I guess?”

After Werner-san said that, the other members from Iron Will agreed and nodded their heads .

“I doubt the private army of the aristocrats are able to match Feru-sama strength . ” (Franca)

“I think so too . ” (Rita)

“I think, only the Ancient Dragon would be a worthy rival of Feru-sama . ” (Vincent)

“You can say that again . ” (Ramon-san)

I knew there would be dragons, since they are essential for a fantasy world .

But damn, I don’t want to meet one either .

[Mu, the Ancient Dragon? Undeniably, it is probably the only one that can fight with me on equal terms . ]

“Eh? Feru-sama has fought with the Ancient Dragon before?”

Vincent seemed to have gotten agitated .

[That was roughly 400 years ago . We had a draw back then, but next time I won’t lose . ]

“Wow, amazing! I would have wanted to see a battle between fellow legendary monsters . ”

“Me too –”

Vincent and Rita seem to be really excited about all this but Franca and Romon-san seem to be forcing a smile .

“Oioi, calm yourselves . We still need to receive the confirmation signature to show that we have fulfilled our duty to Makooda-san and report that to the adventurer’s guild .

Being asked by Werner-san, I signed on the completion of duty report .

Next, I tried to return the red boar meat that I was tasked to keep, but they said I should at least keep it in exchange for the raw materials of the rockbird .

“Even before bidding farewell, you all want me to keep the red boar meat; I am really well taken care of . Thank you all . ”

All of them felt that they couldn’t have made it here without me either .

“We feel more thankful for the good experience we’ve gotten from this and we even had a taste of your culinary skills, so we have no criticism on this excellent job . ”

I’m grateful that you feel that way .

“But I still must express my thanks . Please stay in good health . ”

“You too, Makooda-san . ”

Iron Will waved their hands while leaving .
