When I went to defeat the evil dragon, for some reason Ryushin was standing there in his dragon form.

　Since Ryushin said that he had already defeated the evil dragon, me and Seira didn't do anything, and we were on our way home with Lawrence-san, who approached us with a request to defeat the evil dragon.


''Halt-dono, can we trust that black dragon?''

　In the middle of it all, Mr. Lawrence asked me.

'Maybe it's all right. I didn't see any evil intent in that black dragon, and the girl was trying to protect that dragon.

　Before I knew it, it looks like Ryushin became friends with a girl.

　It's like he saved her from being sacrificed to death and they became friends?

　I could tell that she adored Liu Xin quite a bit because she was trying to protect Liu Xin unabashedly in the face of my magic.

　Well, it was a magic that I originally released with the intention of bringing Ryushin back to her senses, so it's unlikely that she would die if it hit her, and the holy attribute magic I used wouldn't cause any damage even if it touched the human race.

　Even if it hit a girl, there was no problem.

　At any rate, it doesn't seem that Ryushin didn't forcibly attack the girl, so I was a little relieved.

　It would have been awkward to attack Ryushin, who had become my brother-in-law, for real.


　Incidentally, the village that made the request to the guild pays the request, but I decided to pay it.

　I was curious about the fact that Ryushin was in the form of a black dragon, and I read a little bit of his thoughts in the mind-reading technique, but he was trying to threaten the defeating party and step over the request money to the guild.

　I don't condone that idea, but he said it was to protect the girls, so I decided to do something about the request money.

　Me and Seira didn't do anything to begin with.

　So, we just need to bear the cost of Lawrence (Guildmaster)-san's preparations for defeating the evil dragon.

　It wasn't a large amount of money.

　Lawrence-san told me that he didn't need the requisition money, but since his guild was in an uproar over the news of the appearance of the evil dragon, and it seems that he had to go through a lot of trouble, I decided to push for a little more money to make up for it.

　For my part, I'm thinking that since I got to know the guild master, Lawrence-san, it will be a plus for me when I start a clan in the future.


'By the way, Lawrence-san, have you always lived in the city of Gareth?'

　I was a guildmaster in the city of Gareth, and for some reason I felt a kinship with him.

　I'm pretty sure I've never met him before.

　But I had a feeling I'd met him before, somehow.

'My family has lived in the city of Gareth since my great-grandfather's generation. I actually got my name from that great-grandfather.

　Oh, you mean to tell me...

My great-grandfather was also named Lawrence. By the way, was he also an adventurer?

''Lord Halt, you know him well. He used to be an adventurer in another city's guild, but his great-grandfather was hailed as the city's hero for defending the city from the Stampede, and he ended up moving straight to Gareth.

Oh, really?

　Lawrence-san's answer turned my prediction into certainty.

　I had met Lawrence-san's great-grandfather once when I came to our world as a guardian hero.

　He was one of the adventurers who had protected the city from the Stampede a hundred years ago.

　He was wearing something that he wore, and Lawrence, who is right in front of me, was wearing it on his arm.

　A wishstone bracelet.
　Perhaps it has been passed down from generation to generation.

　The bracelet was still shining the same yellow color as it had been a hundred years ago, meaning a wish for safety.


　I had heard from Seira that the source of the request was the city of Gareth, so I was planning to visit the city after the defeat of the evil dragon was over.

　I was curious to see how the city that the guardian hero saved a hundred years ago was doing now.

　Unexpectedly, I was happy to see the people involved when I came here as a guardian hero.


“Hardt-dono, I saw them. That is the city of Gareth.

Oh!

　The city had grown into a much more magnificent city than when I saw it in the past.

　Since he is the master of an adventurer's guild in such a large city, Lawrence-san must have quite a bit of ability.


　After that, Lawrence-san took me into the city of Gareth.

　There──.

This is....

What do you think?　Isn't it a beautiful thing? It is a statue of a guardian hero who protected this city and the world!

　A huge stone statue sat in the city's central square.

　A statue of a guardian hero - in other words, a sculpture of me.

　I feel like it's a much more beautiful statue.
　I thought it was a little bit cool.

　Since such a thing is in the middle of the city, it attracts a lot of attention.

　Frankly, I'm embarrassed.

'Mr. Hurt, can I make this in Sanctum (Holy City) as well?

　Seira asked in a whisper.

'Please ... don't do that.'

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them.

You can buy a smaller version of this statue at a souvenir shop around here. It's one of the specialties of Gareth's town.

　The area produces rocks that are suitable for carving, which are then used to make products.

　Among them, the statue of the brave guardian is said to be the most popular.

　Hearing Lawrence-san's words, Seira's face brightened with a flash.
　

　.........Seira, perhaps you're not going to buy it and go home, are you?
