188 # 188 Refurbished, and Hiryu.






That's pretty good.
''Huh......... You're still outrageous........

 I finished renovating "Silver Moon" and jumped off the roof.
 As the number of adventurers grew, we were running out of lodgings, so we expanded and renovated 'Silver Moon' and built a second shop.
 Basically, the second shop was a cheap inn with a lot of rooms, plus it was made guild certified. It's an inn for adventurers. It was also located near the Transitional Gate.
 On the other hand, the main shop until now has been set a little higher in order to cater mainly to travelers and peddlers. Of course, the inn has been reborn to provide appropriate facilities and relaxation, so it's not a rip-off.

When I thought they were going to ask me to do some renovations, it was over in a couple of hours. I'm just stunned.
It's amazing....

 Mika, the proprietress, and Fleur, an employee, looked up at the new Silver Moon with a pouting look on their faces.

'Now that we're bigger, we'll have to hire a few more employees.
Oh, well, that's where I can find a job. I know some people who want to work here.

 You know Micah. Then there's no problem. I immediately went with Micah to the town of Rivlet at the Gate and talked to some of his acquaintances. I asked them to come to Brunhild when they are ready to work, so the employees should be fine.
 Some of them wanted to work right away, so I asked them to go home and get their stuff together once they were ready to work. I'll take them with me when I return to the Principality.
 While we were waiting, Micah and his father, Dolan, hadn't seen him in a long time and were giving him an update. I don't want to interrupt him, so I decide to go for a walk.
 I was thinking about the future of Brunhild as I walked through the riffle for the first time in a long time.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more weapons, armor and tools. I'm sure Orba-san's business association is doing a great job. I'm sure it will take them a long time to get from Brunhild by carriage.

 I gave up on it once, but do you still want to build a car? No, in that case, it's still the train......... To begin with, if the speed of the carriage is higher and the load capacity is even greater........ Oh, just give it "gravity" and make the carriage lighter?
 Well, we can make a light, sturdy, all-purpose carriage body. Mr. Orba would buy it, even if it's expensive. If we also give it a simple "storage", it will have much more payload.
 Let's make a few cars. Maybe a "carriage with excellent safety" for the royal family's use. Well, our castle doesn't have carriages. We always go to the gate for transportation.
 The dungeons seem to be thriving. No one seems to have died so far, but some people have been seriously injured. Once you go down a level, the strength of the monsters and demons in the dungeon increases dramatically. If you show some leeway and aren't able to identify them, you'll get a painful kick in the ass.
 Rumor has it that the 'Amaterasu' one had broken through to the fourth level. Some of the party seemed to have gotten some treasures. Now there might be more adventurers to challenge the dungeon.
 While I was thinking about this, I came to the front of Zanuck's clothing store, so I stopped by. I've missed it. This was the first shop I entered when I first came to this world.
 However, it has undergone a major renovation. The store has become twice as big as before. Well, it seems that swimwear and uniforms are selling well. It must be profitable.

Welcome to Fashion King Zanuck's. Welcome to Fashion King Zanuck's!

 When I entered the store, I was greeted by a smiling waitress. I wonder if they can do something about that name.
 This shop also has a branch in Brunhild, but the signage is very flashy.
 When I asked the clerk to call Zanuck-san, he immediately appeared from the back of the store.

"Well, well, well, well, this is His Majesty the King. I didn't expect you to come to Rivlet. 'What's the matter?'
I'm looking for someone to work over there at the Silver Moon. I came to recruit a friend of Micah's. I had some time on my hands, so I thought I'd stop by. I had some time to kill, so I thought I'd stop by.
Goodness. So you can order uniforms for your new employees?

 Oh, yeah. I forgot. I'm still good at business, or so I thought.
 At any rate, it's hard to say without knowing the size, so I decided to order it from the Brunhild branch later.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you can't find a better way to get your hands on some of these items. I was wondering if His Majesty would know anything about such a thing...
'The design of the dress? Ummm ... oh, can you lend me some paper?

 While the clerk brings me the paper, I pull out my phone and search the internet for dresses and pick up some of them. I then used "drawing" to transcribe about 20 dresses and handed them to Mr. Zanuck.

''This is certainly not something I've seen before........ I'm sure they'll be happy with this one!
'Well, it's definitely a work that even the royal family doesn't have. I'm sure you'll agree with me if I push that point.

 Probably what those aristocrats are looking for is a one-off, so if the royals don't have it, they'll surely jump at it if they don't have it either.
 Then, as I was drawing up designs for shoes and gloves to match those dresses, a man suddenly burst through the door with such force that he almost kicked it down. I thought it was Mr. Baral of the "Weapon Shop Kumahachi". I was startled. I thought it was a bear coming into the store.

'The husband of Zanuck! The dragon! The dragon is here! Get out of here!
What?

 A dragon! As I rushed out of the store, I saw a dull green dragon flying around in the sky.
 Craggy green scales and red eyes. Its tail had several vicious-looking spikes on it. It was about the same size as the black dragon I had met before. One difference is that the black dragon had four legs, while this green dragon had two legs and large wings instead of front legs. A subspecies of dragons, the 'flying dragon' or 'wyvern'?

''Gogaaaaah!

 Each time the flying dragon roared, the entire town panicked. The wyvern leaned its sickle-neck to the ground and spat out a large fireball from its mouth.

''Tch.''

 Flying into the air with a "fly", I turned to the front of that flaming bullet that had been shot out. I hold up my hand and activate my magic.

'Absorb.'

 The mass of fire is reduced to magic and absorbed by me. Attributeless magic "Absorb". It's a magic that returns phenomena created by magic power to magical power and absorbs it. The dragon's breath attack converts the magic power in its body into fire attribute magic. So that means you can absorb that too.
 But that was a close call. If that was a direct hit, the town might have been a sea of fire.

"Gluaaaah!

 The Wyvern turns his angry eyes towards us as if we were interrupted. You're the one who's angry. I'm the one who's angry.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it. At the same time, I activate my weighted magic this time.

Gravity.

 The gunk and the sudden increase in his own weight caused him to lose the ability to fly and the wyvern crashed into the main street. There was already no one in the street, so no damage was done.
 As it was, the wyvern was trying to somehow escape the spell of weight, but when I, who had increased my weight even more with Gravity, landed vigorously on its back, it broke its spine with a bang and died.

''d*mn.........''

 When I saw that the dragon had stopped moving, the whole town cheered. Relieved, the townspeople came up to me and the defeated wyvern.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. A flying dragon in the blink of an eye........ It's a relief that Your Majesty is here in town.

 Mr. Zanuck murmured as he looked at the dead wyvern. Mr. Barral was looking at me with wide eyes. Micah and Dolan-san also came running up to me from across the crowd of onlookers.

I'm glad the town wasn't damaged. It's a good thing the town wasn't damaged, but by the way, what are we going to do with it?
I don't need it. Well, I'll give the meat to Mr. Dolan. I believe I've heard that dragon meat is very tasty. Give the hides to Mr. Zanuck. You can make leather jackets and stuff like that. And the bones to Mr. Baral. I think it would be quite useful as a weapon material.

 Everyone was flabbergasted at my words, but eventually Mika came over to me with a panicked look on her face.

'Hey, hey, hey, you know what? Dragons are the best material! I can just pop that one up!
You don't need me at the moment. I've been good to everyone. I'm not trying to repay you, but you can take it.

 I didn't spend that long in this town, but I'm sure they taught me a lot and took care of me. It's a small price to pay for something like this to make you happy.

I'm sure you'll be very careful with the thorns in the tail when you strip it off. I heard it's very poisonous.
Yeah. All right.

 Dolan-san quickly handles the flying dragon with a stripping knife.
 But why did a flying dragon appear in a place like this..... If you're looking for food, if you go to the southern forest, there's plenty of unicorns and wolves. It's as if they were aiming for a pinpoint.
 I wonder if this is related to the recent spate of dragon sightings that Relisha-san told me about.
 This is a sub-species of dragon that has been seen rampaging in Euron, Nokia and Sandra. This wyvern is also a subspecies, but a lower dragon. Are lower dragons attacking people? It seems that something is definitely happening to the dragons, but....

What is this?

 Mr. Dolan, who was stripping it off, called out. He had just cut off the head and was about to strip the skin off the head.
 I looked at where Mr. Dolan was looking and saw that something had been driven into the center of the skull just where it hit the center of the skull. Carefully pulling it out, he saw that it was a long needle, about six inches long. It was more like a skewer than a needle, though. I could feel that it had probably reached the brain, and I could feel that it was tinged with some kind of magical power.

''Could it be that you were controlling the dragon with this?''

 While looking at the skewer that had exploded with suspiciousness, I thought to myself, "Maybe this is another artifact that fell from the storehouse," and put it away in storage, sweating in disgust. I'll ask Sheska and the others later. Maybe they'll know what it is.
 But. If this is an artifact that has the power to control dragons, then there's a mastermind controlling these guys somewhere.
 Hmph. I have a feeling that something else is about to happen. My premonition in this kind of situation is divinely accurate. Unfortunately.
