Main Exam Room

　Now, after loading the demon's head onto the bike, I finally made it back to the exam room, but even Sailor-sama had rushed to the exam room, probably because I was returning late.

　He was relieved to have returned for the first time, but the examiner's face tightened when he submitted his results.

''Ryota-dono, is that the result of this exam?　Well they all look like higher species but did you get rid of all these?

　Tasteless, suspected!　I should have thrown out all but the king trolls.

'This is ... well ... a dragon!　I met a dragon who came to punish the demon, and we decided to fight together, and he told me to take the head with me since I don't need it... Will I be cheating on the exam?

　 I'm in a bind, examiner, can't you do something about it?

No, the flying dragon knights will be fighting with you, so fighting together is not a crime. By the way... the dragon from the Great Ares Mountains?

　...but does the dragon of the Ares Mountains sound like a problem?

　This is the timing of the alliance communication.

'Ryou!　Great!　I was recognized for my achievements when I leveled the forest, acquired the seven families, and offered the forest clearing to the Dragon Council!　Today I become the 11th Dragon Senator!　This is all thanks to the fact that you've become our ally........Thank you, Ryo!

　Senator Ryu in one fell swoop from Botch?
　No.....

　No, not really?　After all, Viville is a divine dragon. I think he would have become a dragon senator just a little earlier. Besides, Viville has been working hard to get him to join her all along....

'You did it, Vi, congratulations!　If you're a dragon councilor, you're not a stranger, you'll be a great Ares dragon from now on. And you'll make lots of friends!''

　When we finished the pact communication by confirming our joy, Sailor-sama asked me a question.

''Ryota-san, those dragon scales........are they a sign of the pact, if I may ask?　My parcel is the dragon's ally and many more parcels will return to the territory...

　Oh, my God!　If we don't clear up this misunderstanding soon, Lady Sailor will go into fantasy time!

No, no, no, we have no pact, do we?　It's just a sign of friendship.

Seela, Master Seela, we are allies, not pacts!　Equal partners with the dragon, there's more than enough room to rebuild!　This is a big promotion for sure!

Yeah, right!　And the 11th dragon senator.....Dominique!　Never miss Ryota-dono, do you understand?　Hang your head!

Ha!　Dominique, I'm willing to bet my life on it.

　Um, I can hear you, sir?　Our goggles are also very sound-collecting.

　But to have your greed lead to the death of an elder, you're really quite scary. Besides, being friends with an ally is even worse than an oath. We've got to do something about this.

Lady Sailor, I have a request. I beg you not to reveal your allies to anyone. I have promised to my friend Vivir that I would not seek publicity or profit from his actions. In exchange, may I ask you to promise that you will not engage in a quarrel with the dragon?

''Ryota-san, this degree is not called a publicity stunt. There's no reward or benefit, is there?　Don't worry, House Pretares can vouch for you. Rest assured, identify yourself.

　Akan, the Lady Sailor is blinded by greed.

　This is a mess, and I'm doomed to become the tamer. There's got to be a way out of this.

　... yes!　Greed has more greed and more greed!

"Lady Sailor, I have a journey to make and cannot watch over my allies. However, I have one more scale to talk to Master Vivir. It would be a shame to ask you to take care of him, but on behalf of the Alp, I would like to ask you to take care of Vivir, the divine dragon and I will withhold my name and leave everything to him.

　Practically plenipotentiary ambassador with the Dragon Council. It's better to be yourself than a parcel, right?　Master Sailor, this is a bargain that has to be made first. If you let him go, you'll regret it.

Alp, no, the representative of all Ares, the dragon ambassador, so to speak, Gohon. The Pretares family will not disrespect Yoriko's request, especially if it's Ryota's request. I will accept the request with full responsibility. If you have any other problems, you can always count on me, right?

　The tamer was averted in the first place.

'Dominic!　I have an urgent matter to attend to at the Royal Castle. I need a carriage at once!

Ryota-dono's hospitality is taken care of. Be careful not to change your mind!　I come to seek an audience with the King. The rise and fall of the House of Pretares is in this audience!

Ha ha!　I will make all the necessary arrangements without delay. Lady Selah!　Good luck!

　Great spirit, are you going to go to war now?

　That evening, Midia and Manya were also entertained together. It's a banquet that is not fun at all, despite the delicious food on the menu.

　Manya is happily drinking down with free drinks. There's a lot of this stuff in society, get used to it.


★ The next day

　I'm shopping today, and I've been informed by Dominic-san with good news.

　The position of dragon ambassador with benefits for Viscount Sailor, and his promotion to the rank of Earl has been unofficially announced. She will not increase her territory, but she will be given supervisory and customs authority over the area.

　Wow, what a speedy job offer.

　It must have been a great struggle for Viscount Sailor. Speaking of supervisory authority, it's like a governorship in the Warring States period, and now the hell is about to begin for the lords who take advantage of their weaknesses.

　I've been appointed by Sailor-sama to the rank of Duke of Merit. These are the three de-restricted demon exterminator licenses. By the way, Anya is a foreigner recommendation from Sailor-sama.

　The Order of Merit will appear on the back of this license when it is issued. In addition, on the back of the license, there was a storage space added on its own for the allies' certificates...

　Well, I changed my mind and went shopping next.

　We don't have tea leaves in Ares, but we do have herbal tea, so we bought a bunch of different kinds. Next, the clothes of the miko. It is the uniform of the office, so I buy a large number of good quality ones of the same design.

　Most of the clothes in this world are free size and adjusted with an obi. So as long as the clothes are suitable for Lamia-san and Dragon Newt-san to wear, it's no problem.

　In addition, Sailor-sama will pay for everything. Well, since it's for Viville, it looks like the aim is to make an achievement as a dragon ambassador as soon as possible.

　I'll just buy the furniture and process it beforehand. It would be easier to assemble the furniture at Vivir's place of residence. The tableware will be protected with sawdust. You can also make your own plaster, but it's a good idea to buy it under Sailor's name. When I use lime, the window flowers look reluctant....

　The last problem was choosing flowers for the flower bed. They also sold flowers that bloomed in the high mountains, but many of them were small. However, they were beautiful and pretty.

　If we could make the flower bed three tiers and make it three-dimensional, we could make it work.

　So we bought bricks, flowers, seedlings and seeds as well. I also bought a few flower pots as a surprise. We went back and forth many times, but I think we got the minimum amount of things we needed.

　Okay, we're ready. Tomorrow we'll try to make Viville happy!
