Finally, we arrived at the magic city, Manarak.
Upon arriving at the city, we bid farewell to the rchants and adventurers who were traveling together with us.
「Thank you very much. No, I’m really glad to be honored with your presence during our journey, Pora-sama.」
The rchant who spoke to us kept bowing repeatedly towards Pora.
「N-No, uhm, Pora didn’t… do anything special at all… uhm, that’s…」
「OOH! SUCH HUMILITY! I NEVER EXPECTED THAT AARBUGH WOULD HAVE SUCH GREAT HERO!」
Pora replied, almost crying, while sending a fleeting glance at as if asking to save her.
… Because of 《Evil God Apostle; Notes》’s incident in addition to Philia dropping the giant dragon incident, Pora couldn’t escape anymore.
My apologies, Pora. Your sacrifice won’t be in vain.
「Poor… Pora.」
Philia muttered so upon looking at Pora’s situation while nonchalantly tugging at my robe.
Though Philia spoke as if it was soone else’s business, the reason why Pora was in such a sad state was mostly because of Philia dropping that progenitor dragon in front of everyone.
「Philia-chan… I’m happy that you moved to save , but please stop making the progenitor dragon appear in front of so many people…」
When I said so to her, Philia hung her head down, seemingly dejected. She gripped onto my robe even more strongly than before.
「Sorry… Philia got too fired up. Philia will do as Kanata says. She won’t call Progenitor Dragon in front of many people again.」
「It’s good as long as you understand that.」
I patted Philia’s head.
Thank God.
It seems, Philia understood her fault this ti and was reflecting on it properly. I guess she won’t carelessly summon the Progenitor Dragon again in the future.
The scale of it was way too huge to the point that I had no idea what to say anymore.
「Please accept our gratitude too!」
「Without you, we might’ve already ended up inside those monsters stomach right now!」
The other adventurers and rchants were also starting to gather around Pora.
「N-No, t-that’s…」
Pora, who wasn’t used to being surrounded by so many people, was completely flustered right now.
As expected, this might be bad for her.
「Oi, half-elf girl.」
A man wearing a robe and a pointed hat approached Pora.
Judging from his appearance and equipnt, he might be a successful C-rank adventurer or above.
「Honestly… I think it’s just BS. You were a bottom rank adventurer till just a while ago but suddenly beca famous after the spread of the story about destroying Notes’ barrier and burying 《Evil God Apostle; Notes》 in the collapsed mansion, thinking that the citizens of Aarburgh must be fools. But, I’ve no choice but to believe that story after you summoned THAT thing. Dear , my eyes must be cloudy after being in this line of business for too long.」
The man was speaking about his off the mark story with a face as if he understood the situation.
What in the hell was this person with a unique character talking about?
「Eh…? Eh…?」
Pora was really troubled right now.
… I guess it’s ti for to send a lifeboat to Pora.
I pushed my way through the crowd and caught Pora’s hand.
「Let’s go, Pora-san, we’ve urgent business, rember! Thank you very much everyone.」
「Wait, I… have a business with that half-elf girl.」
I dodged the man who tried to seize my shoulder.
Pora was also speeding up, taking the advantage of the opening I’d created for her.
Following after that was Philia, who ran beside with a delighted look on her face.
We stopped after running for a while.
「… I guess it’s safe now.」
「Kanata-san… Pora… can Pora really accept this situation? Stealing away your credit like this?」
Pora asked with a dejected look on her face.
「… I’m really sorry about this, Pora-san. I… I was also just playing along with the flow instead of trying to change it.」
At that mont, cheers of joy rose from nearby.
Pora’s shoulders twitched, reacting to those cheers.
But, when I looked at the direction of the incoming cheers, I saw a blonde haired man in armor being surrounded by people.
The adventurer’s guild was nearby, huh.
The blonde haired man seems to be heading toward the guild to et his comrade.
「You finally returned after finishing your commission, Alfred-san!」
「How was the subjugation of red troll?」
「Good grief, don’t get so excited… fighting two red trolls by myself is no big deal at all.」
The blonde haired man clad in armor nad Alfred spoke so while heaving a sigh.
「EEE!? YOU FOUGHT TWO RED TROLLS, BY YOURSELF!?」
His remark caused the cheers around him to increase to a whole new level.
「Everyone, please don’t block Alfred-sama’s path! We’re really busy right now!」
The female swordsman who stood besides Alfred was trying to open the path.
「Making so much noise for a re red troll… Even though I heard that the magic city Manarak has an S-rank adventurer… well the rumors said that adventurer is half-retiring right now… well, that person’s level might be not that high.」
Alfred was grumbling through his teeth.
Though he looked like soone whom I couldn’t get along with… seeing the crowd around him, I guess he was a popular figure.
「H-How embarrassing… it turned out to be not about Pora…」
Pora was holding her beret with a flushed red face.
… It seems she’s developed a trauma due to the excessive praise she’s received lately.
I really felt sorry for her, yet also felt a deep gratitude for her sacrifice.
I tried to confirm Alfred’s level with 《Status Check》.
Though I’m holding back from using 《Status Check》 on soone carelessly in fear of having my secret as a transferee getting exposed if I appraised the wrong person… I ended up losing against my curiosity.
Well, with so many people, he shouldn’t be able to find even if he felt that I appraised him.

「… Not that powerful huh.」
I thought he was being humble or sothing, but he turned out to be even weaker than Pora, far weaker.
Not even half of Lovis’ level.
Sohow, I felt that I was starting to lose the standard of the strong for this world the more I used 《Status Check》.
「Is sothing the matter, Kanata-san?」
Pora was looking at with a curious look on her face.
「No, it’s not an important matter.」

TL : A-Rank… is so weak… RIP PORA, YOUR SACRIFICE WON’T BE IN VAIN!!!
