The huge body of "Grand Fafnir" kneels down and lies on the ground.

　Just before it fell, Jill drew her blade and moved away from the scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carla watched from a little distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Did you ......?)

　Although I was enthralled when we were fighting, I was in a semi-doubting mood when we actually defeated him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, when I saw the corpse of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" convulsing and spitting something out of its mouth, I couldn't help but believe it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill and Carla rushed to the red bead that Gran Fafnir had spit out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Jill. What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like the nucleus of a 'Grand Fafnir' dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said as she picked up the red bead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?　You don't look happy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said, looking at Carla's face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yeah. Its ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Assuming that the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" is defeated, the "Dragon Burial Ceremony" is ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Carla was thinking about this, she heard a buzzing and many footsteps approaching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Jill!　Carla!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, Mr. Roland."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill's face lights up and she rushes to Roland's side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see you've managed to defeat the 'Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)' ......," he said. You're good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!"　Thanks to Roland's careful leveling of the ground, we were able to defeat him without much difficulty. Also, Carla did her best to assist us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Carla. You did well, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see. That ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hm. Looks like the "Dragon Burial Dance" was also a success.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. I have appraised the dragon nucleus and found that it has been given the effect of the "Dragon Burial Dance".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So all that remains is to complete the ritual. Throw the body part of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" into the crater and offer the dragon core to the city's shrine, and your long-cherished wish of reviving the "Dragon Burial Ritual" will be fulfilled. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ugh. Roland!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carla was so moved that she hugged Loran.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"　Carla?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roland. Thank you. Really. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carla sobbed into Roland's chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland puts his hand on Carla's head to calm her down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Carla. We need to get to the top of the mountain to complete the ritual."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go together. To the summit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the "Spirit League" defeated the "Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir)", the "White Wolf" was calling on the "Dragon's Fires" to launch a final attack on the "Spirit League" in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The volcano erupted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This must be because the "Spirit League" was defeated by the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we ambushed the "Spirit Alliance" coming down the mountain, we would surely win.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Dragon's Fires" should support us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Upon receiving this request, Raul immediately set to work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He submitted the equipment plan for defeating the "Spirit League" to Edgar again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In "Dragon's Fires," the momentum for overthrowing the "Spirit League" was once again rising.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, in this atmosphere, Edgar was in a somber mood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even now, he is nodding his head as he listens to Gilbert's report.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm. I see. Such a thing happened in the dungeon. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's right. Look at this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gilbert puts his armor on the desk, which is crumpled from Jill's attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is what happened to it after Jill's attack. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh. I see. This is terrible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Edgar, who is an A-class alchemist even if he is rotten, saw the damaged armor and immediately guessed what kind of battle had taken place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From this damaged condition, the difference in power was obvious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, thank you. If it weren't for your report, I would have inadvertently taken Jamil and the others' report at face value.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But that's just a consultation. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gilbert slunk over to Edgar's side and began whispering in his ear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The expression has completely changed from that of a business partner to that of a casual friend.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In my opinion, I think those guys are finished with ...... and the 'white wolves'."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's time to cut the cord, so to speak. Don't you think so?　You're a business owner, too. You need to think about what you are going to do and make a calm business decision. So, you can think about that plan, can't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland and his team proceeded to the top of the mountain to cut off the fangs, wings, scales, skeleton, body skin, and horns of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)," turn them into items, and complete the "Dragon Burial Ceremony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This time, I threw the fangs into the crater.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then the crater was purged of evil spirits, and the gray soil near the summit began to sprout a slight green color.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the city, a more fantastic sight was visible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A curtain of light hung over the top of the volcano, as if an aurora was descending.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elderly islanders rolled their eyes at the sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They had never expected to see the "dragon burial ceremony," which had not been performed since it ceased to exist more than a decade ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne and Pato were caught and questioned by people on their way back from the quest station.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is that curtain of light on top of the volcano?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did the "Spirit League" defeat the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that the "Dragon Burial Clan" was restored through the arrangement of Roland Gil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know. Roland hasn't even come back yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne said irritably as he brushed off the persistent inquires of the townspeople.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ha-ha. Don't be so angry, Wayne. You may have defeated the "Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir)," which you have not been able to defeat for more than 10 years now. As a local, I can't help but be curious about what happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I'm not going to say that," he said. How many people are you going to ask me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, well, well. All will be clear when Mr. Roland comes back. The magic stone you wanted to show Mr. Roland is almost ready for mass production, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pato tried to change the subject to change the subject of Wayne's incessant complaining.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Heh. Well, I guess so. Look at this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne pulls a crimson magic stone from his pocket, flicks it, and catches it in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The stone is called the "Magma Stone. Drawing on the power of this magic stone, you can greatly increase the attack power of a flame mage."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Flame Mage or ....... If so, that might open up a sales channel to the northern continent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite the high demand for flame magic on the northern continent, there was a chronic shortage of excellent mages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The "Arsenal of Spirits" was taking a share of the "Dragon's Fires" on the island, but was still weak when it came to exporting outside the island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne's magic stone was the perfect product to establish a foothold outside the island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we can establish a sales channel outside the island, we can sell Aina's 'coating' equipment and my 'tuning' instruments. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's possible to do business more extensively," he said. And above all!　It's a great way to steal away the off-island customers of Dragon's Fires. That way we can give that bastard Edgar a good barking match."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... still obsessed with retaliation against Edgar?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to say that I don't think you're right. Edgar is still the head of the guild. He's still the head of the guild, and he's the only one I've got to hit. Watch me. I'm going to use this magic stone of mine to knock that bastard off the guild leader's chair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I'm not so sure about that. Anyway, Wayne is finally becoming a specialist in magic stones. It's all thanks to Mr. Roland ......?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pato stopped when he saw a ship docked in the harbor and a crowd of people gathered there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Pato?　What's going on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, that boat ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

An?"　A cargo ship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a cargo ship specially built to export goods made on the island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are only a limited number of goods that can be exported outward from the island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The island's luxury goods and specialties are of island origin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them are equipment made with "dragon's fiery fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn. That's disgusting. But so what?　Isn't it always the case that cargo ships carry equipment from Fires of the Dragon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. But it's strange. The freighters usually leave at the end of the month. The way she looks, it's as if she's leaving tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?　Indeed. Strange if you ask me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne muttered, remembering today's date.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Something wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let me ask you this. Um, excuse me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pato asked the sailor who was directing the delivery of the cargo.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hm?　What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's all this fuss?　It looks as if the ship will sail tomorrow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh," he said. We're going to sail tomorrow on short notice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Heh. Why is that again?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that there was a sudden change of plans for the head of the "Dragon's Fires" guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For Edgar?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. I heard that he suddenly needed to have a business meeting with a client off the island. He's going on a business trip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Business travel......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, since "Dragon's Fires" exports equipment outside of the island, it is not so surprising that they can work outside of the island. But still, it's a bit sudden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pato said, somewhat unconvinced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wayne also frowned suspiciously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Edgar on a business trip?　(At this point in time?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His unique sense of smell smells the scent of evil.
