The sun was already rising as I walked out of the labyrinth.
　At the same time, my stomach rumbled and I was embarrassed... and as I was thinking that, I decided to have breakfast when I saw that everyone seemed to be hungry as well and put their hands on their stomachs.


'So there really was a door, wasn't there?
Yeah. It looks like you need a blessing to get in. I had the dragon's blessing, so I could see the door and get in. This is what the flame dragon said, so there's no doubt about it.
...A flame dragon?
　Lionel looked like he wanted to fight.
　I laugh and reply.　
'Nothing to fight about, eh? I just cured the afflicted dragon.
I see...

　As I waited for the food to be ready, Lionel asked me about what happened after he disappeared, but I had a feeling he was really a battle freak for wanting to fight the dragon as well, and I had a feeling he had other things on his mind, but I didn't think to ask that of someone who wouldn't talk.

　A few of the adventurers stayed behind because they were taking care of Forenoir and the others, but the rest seemed to have already gone back to the city of Yenis, so he invited the remaining adventurers to breakfast and ate their meals, thinking that they were impatient.

　It was very good to eat breakfast under a clear sky.
　It would be nice if I could have a barbecue with my guys next time.
　I was thinking about that.

　When breakfast was over and everyone was ready to go, I climbed aboard the Forêt Noir.
　Everyone took up an escort formation and we set off for the city of Yenis.

'You were sulking earlier, but did the cleansing magic feel that good?'
　I called out to Forenoire, stroking her neck.
　There was no response about it, but I was relieved to see that his mood had improved.
　As expected, he was probably worried about his body odor after being left alone for five days.
　He proceeded to call out to Forenoir, who had become a clean freak before he knew it.



(Status Open)

　On the way to the labyrinth, Lord Jasuan was talking to me, so it was a good way to kill time.
　On the way back, I was playing with Forenoire at first, but as we progressed along the empty, flat road, I became bored and no one was talking to me, so I opened my status to pass the time.

　I couldn't believe my eyes. His level had increased by tenni at once.
　His status had also increased considerably.
　Furthermore, the SP seemed to have increased from 2 to 3 after 100 levels.


　
　Is power leveling still possible after all?
　The amount of MP will increase as the level goes up. If we can establish this........

　Thinking that thinking that far and raising the level easily might have a harmful effect, I changed my mind that it was safer to talk to the Pope and the people at the church headquarters.

　The rest of the time, while looking at the skills that haven't grown as usual, I noticed that I was trying to turn off the status screen.

(What's a flame dragon's attribute grant? (You didn't explain it to me properly, so I don't get it at all.

"Brrrrrrrr.

　I felt like I was being scolded by Forenoir, who didn't like the fact that I was straddling and thinking, so I apologized and turned off the status window. From there I decided to enjoy the ride to Yenis.



'What is this?'

　That was the first thing I said when I arrived in Yenis.
　The scene I saw was the overflowing inhabitants of Yenis waiting for our return.

　When the residents found us...or rather me, they began to cheer.

　Seeing that scene, I felt like holding my head in my hands.
　I forgot to firmly tell that｜Gaius-dono (brainiac) not to touch around.

　If everyone hadn't escorted the residents to prevent them from getting too close to me on the forenoir, I think I would have been in real trouble.

　I didn't respond to the cheers, but instead gave a twitching laugh and was led along a man-made path to Shaza's mansion instead of the Healer's Guild.

　When the crime slaves, including Kefin, entered the mansion for the last time, the door of the mansion was closed.

''........Did you hear the cheers just now? It's "Dragon Slayer," "Dragon Slayer Holy Knight," "Holy Knight of the Dragon Slayer," "Apostle sent by the God of Holy Religion," "Strongest S-class Healer," "Dragon Slayer Healer!
Well it's true, so it's no wonder.
That's definitely a dragon-slayer.
I almost took him down by myself.
We are a bonus.
''The sturdiness with which S-class-sama didn't die from taking a decent bite out of the dragon's attack, the combat power with which he avoided the dragon's attack and put in a single blow, and the fact that he defeated it, though he may have had some luck, is a fact and to be commended.
I can understand the Master's concerns, but I'm sure the Healer's Guild will be safe with him there.

　It started with Lionel and ended with Nahlia.
　I didn't want to be stingy with this story any longer, as they seemed happy for some reason, as did the other slaves.

　I walked out to Shaza's mansion.



''Oh! Lady Luciel........Lady Luciel? Why is your blessing getting stronger? And why do you look so scared?
　Irritated with Gaius-dono, who called out to me full of energy, I tell him with a firm resolve.

''The blessing must be because you defeated the red dragon. More than that, what do you mean by that triumphant parade like situation?
'We have accomplished so much. It was a small way to celebrate the emergence of a new hero, but it was well deserved.
　I quietly took out a barrel of object X and two cups in front of Lord Jasoan, who said with satisfaction.
I see. I see. Well, if you're thinking of me, let's have a toast.
　I switch from a blank expression to a smile and approach Lord Jasoan.
'Le, le, Lady Luciel? Hey, did I do something to displease you?
''No, I just want to toast you and this, don't you? You're not going to say you don't want to, are you?
..........
　Lord Jasuan's body trembles violently, but he can't relent.
　There was no one who would be troubled if he fainted here.
　And there were no beastmen to help him.
　Almost everyone was in a kneeling position, so there was no one to respond to Lord Jasuan's request for help.
''Then cheers.''
　When I gulped down the object X in one go, Lord Jasuan opened his big mouth and drank it down in one gulp... but at that moment, he turned his white eyes and fell backwards.
''Ahhhh, I feel refreshed. Let's hang some cleansing and recovery from the smell.''
　I asked him to take the fallen Lord Jasoan to a place where he could rest, and he took him with him.


Now, tell me a story.
　I smiled at him and he spoke in order honestly.

　That the mastermind of this time, the Deputy Guildmaster of the Medicine Guild, was actually being set up by the Illimasia Empire to reduce the national power of Yenis.
　That the martial factions of each race, including Shaza, had been recruited by the Illimasia Empire and given wisdom to silence the moderates.

　And that the cause they were bound to was not to sell medicine to certain races.

　They were forbidden to talk to the adventurers who were pursuing them in the labyrinth, so they couldn't even listen to them.

　The reason why he was able to go that far in the labyrinth was because he was wearing a chemical on his body that smelled like something that demons liked to smell and avoid, so he was fine with it.


　It's just like Object X~ I thought about the empire that was named as the mastermind.

　The Empire has come out here again.......am I always getting in the way of the Empire?
　Won't the Empire hate us if we don't?
　I decided to think about that much and put off the unanswered questions until later and ask him what the future holds for Yenis.

　How do we fix this time when the foundations of the country have been greatly shaken?
　That's what I was interested in.

　He hoped that it would be helpful to the Healer's Guild to find out how to tell the residents and how to make it more exciting.

''Since the country's representative, Shaza-dono, has unfortunately died this time around, you will continue to pursue Grohala-dono of the Healer's Guild, but how will you deal with him as a country?

　It was Sheila's father, the representative of the previous two terms, who spoke to my question.
"....the representatives of the eight races will be elected first. The representatives are selected from the dogs, wolves, cats, tigers, tigers, dragons, foxes, birds, and rabbits, and then the representatives are chosen by voting for the first semester's representative race and for those other than themselves.
'Yes. I've heard that.
"As a penalty for this matter, the tiger-beast race and the dragon race have been deprived of the right to represent Yenis for five periods.
''...I see. But isn't that just as sweet as it sounds?
'Yes. So it has been decided that they will no longer hold any national positions. And we will also be looking at other departments to see if there are any irregularities.

'I see. So what does it all boil down to?
　When I ask him that, he corrects his stance and looks at me.

"..........
.........?

　What about me? When I tried to listen to him, he got down on his knees neatly and said, "Please help us for the last year of your term.
"Please help us for just one year of your remaining term in office.
　Not only him, but the beasts who greeted us all got down on their knees in unison and joined their voices.
''Please lend me.''
　What period drama is this? And I'm probably not a bad person for thinking that.
Huh?

'We need a strong, gentle, unapologetic leader to unite the beasts. There is no one else in the world today who won't divide Yenis, except for Lord Luciel.
　So you're saying it has a centripetal force and charisma?

''........You mean you're going to lend me your name?''
　If the country tilts to the side of the stone, we'll be in trouble too so I don't want to lend it to you, but it can't be helped.

I have sent a messenger to the Pope of St. Cyril's church to request that you, Luciel, be made the temporary representative of Jennis. If this is acceptable, please tell us how we can enrich Yenis. We will do our best.

Isn't it too selfish? I have a mission to enliven the Healers' Guild and the Healing Institute in this land, you know? How can you do that when you've never even represented the country before?
　I really don't want this to happen. Even now, it's beyond what we can tolerate, but we can't absolutely go any further.

''As for the Healer's Guild and the Healing Institute, we've already been talking about creating a special healing zone in Yenis. The Medicine Master's Guild was also pleased to see the synergistic effect, so we will arrange for a new location to be built. Also, the Healer's Guild, which is being remodeled, can be a place for Luciel-sama to live. They used to be in the slums, but with the establishment of the special zone, they will be able to work, so they will be able to thank Luciel-sama and the Healer's Guild for that.

　I felt sick to my stomach when I saw her rub her head on the ground again and ask for it after she spoke so passionately.

''.........Please give me some time to think about it. It's not something I can decide on immediately, and it's still a heavy burden, so let me discuss it with the Pope as well.
　I didn't want to stay. So I decided to leave now.

Please and thank you.
"Please.

　Thus, the scuffling mood at Lord Jasuan turned into a heavy one, and I decided to return to the Healer's Guild.

　When I walked out of the gate, the number of people had dwindled, but the boys and girls seemed to have remained and were looking at me from a distance.
　In their eyes, I could see them as if they were yearning for the hero of the story.
　On the way back to the Healer's Guild, I muttered to myself without knowing how to respond.

'I'll make sure that not only Lord Jasuan, but also Grohala, who plotted this, gets a generous dose of Object X.'

　I was so enraged at the time that I didn't realize that the beasts were trembling when they heard that muttering.
