38 It's about to be closed




 Luina's entourage of strongmen.
 It was also a sign of the new Empress Ruina's policy of the Weyla Empire, which planned to take in the meritocracy.
 In fact, all of her entourage was selected solely on merit.


 She pulled out a few S-ranked members of the guild, drew out knights who had made a name for themselves in the small country, and selected a young man who would be called the next general.
 All of them were excellent.
 It's a group of outstanding people who are worthy of being called the 'elite' of the human race.


 And yet - they couldn't even twitch a finger in front of a single man.
 The man who was the head of the entourage is unconscious as he is plunged into the auditorium.
 He and Kåñëa had swapped back and forth between the guild and the empire, so he had never been able to hear Jide or Kåñëa.
 But still, he was once an S-ranked, outstanding figure who had made his name known in many countries. Everyone in his entourage had given him a glance.
 Even after defeating the man, Jide still spoke of


"Shit. This might be a problem with the commission.


 It was.
 The strength of a former S-rank wasn't even in their eyes.
 His entourage, who hadn't even felt the need to warn Zied, were instantly dropped to the bottom.
 Some of them even shook their knees at the strength of the man standing before them. Some prayed to God that hopefully it was a bad dream.


'Are we done talking? Then I have a request. ...... Mr. Bailias, that's not a problem, is it?


 Zied looked away from the motionless entourage and Ruina and pointed his index finger at the broken auditorium as he called out to a horrified Bailias.
 Bailias huffed and regained his composure.


'...... Oh, oh ...... no. Darn it, you can't help it. Just protect it quickly!
'Yes. I know.


 Not even trying to show irritation at the rough words, Zied smiled and headed towards Wanglong.
 Wanglong was beaten up and captured by Basina.
 And he was so tame that he could see it for himself.
 He was in awe of Jide, who easily kicked Basina out of the way. I understood that this man could be easily obliterated if he wanted to.
 So, whatever Zied had said, he had resigned himself to having to swallow it.


 The noble demon that was of the Dragon King's bloodline gulped hard.
 However, the words that came out of Zied were quite surprising.


''That guy Bailias is the one who captured you, so why don't you try your hand at that thing?
「「「「!!!!」」」」
!


 Everyone in the place was gawked at.
 Kåñëa, Ruina, his entourage, and even the king dragon.
 But - it was for the best.


''Look, with all these dragons here, we need to find something to settle the matter, right? I hope you'll give me a break with that one.
You! What are you talking about ......! What about the request!
Request? That's your bodyguard, right? It's not your protection.
Ha...... ha!


 Bailias loses his rebuttal valve at Zied's words.
 The reason for the random request had been avenged.


'Are you a good ......?'
Yeah. I'm rather sorry this is the only thing I can think of.


 Zied knew.
 The real truth that this struggle had happened. Where the source was.
 But I can't give it to you. That's why he wanted to have this taken care of.
 Even as a king dragon, I can't help but nod my head.
 In the first place, there was so much gratitude and astonishment all at once just to be handed over the Bailias.
 Wanglong envisioned multiple layers of words and first asked: ''What is your name?


''Let's hear the ...... name.''
Hmm, that's Jade. S-ranked Jade from the guild. If you ever have any trouble, just come to me for help.
"...... Jeed ............ All right. Then let's go home with my people who are out there on the rampage.


 The king dragon opens its wings.
 Most of the injured parts had healed in this short time. It could be said to be a healing power as expected.
 Thus, the curtain was about to close on the current commotion.


 But of course, it wasn't over yet.


''Wait, the Guild's,''


 Louina.
 She puts aside the timid entourage and steps forward herself.
 She herself doesn't have much power. She has some education, but at best she's only a C-rank in the guild.
 However, her dignity was worthy of stopping Jide's footsteps.


''Jeed, aren't you interested in the position?''


 Louina said clearly.
