Epilogue I Returned To Fort Port, And Then

The flash of light when I used [Creation] against the volcano was huge and could be seen from the distant city of Fort Port.

The residents who witnessed the light were greatly disturbed.

What in the world is going on?

Dont tell theres a dragon out there, like in Aunen and Surier?

Its a disaster! W-we have to get out of here!

Anxiety led to panic in the city.

The first to respond was Milia of the Adventurers Guild.

Everyone, its alright! Kou Kousaka-san, the Dragon Slayer, is on his way to that place! I am sure he will solve everything!

She called out to the people of the city, and by mobilizing all the adventurers and staff with the [Calm] skill, she was able to suppress the panic.

I was told such a story by Branch Manager Jess.

We were in the common room of the Fort Port branch.

After returning to the city, we headed for the Adventurers Guild to make a report.

Milia was currently busy with urgent work, so we decided to wait until she was finished while talking with Branch Manager Jess.

Milia-san seems to have a lot of trust in Kou-san. Otherwise, she wouldnt have called out to you like that in front of so many people.

I see.

Are you embarrassed?

Oh, yes.

Thats true, but I didnt think that even the branch manager Jess would point it out to .

Kou usually has a calm face, but at tis like this, his emotions really co out.

Iris giggled on my left.

Then, Leticia took advantage of this and said,

Fufu. I think its adorable that Kou-sama has that kind of expression.

Master-san, youre cute, arent you?

Well I think its nice, too.

Wait a minute.

Am I not under concentrated fire from all directions? What kind of face should I make in a situation like this?

While I was wondering, Milia eventually ca into the common room.

Sorry, Im late! Kou-san, thank you for your hard work!

Ah, you too. Did you finish your work?

Of course I am! Ive been carefully taking care of it with all my might in order to listen to Kou-sans story!

What kind of strange words are coming out of her mouth?

Take care of it carefully.

I dont know what it ans, though.

Milia is competent, and Im sure she cut corners where she should have, worked carefully where she should have, and got the job done to the point.

Once Milia and Branch Manager Jess were together, I began to report on the events on Mahoros Island.

However, I would keep the fact that Tidal was a calamity under wraps and refer to him as a personal researcher of ancient civilizations.

Otherwise, the story would get complicated.

When I finally explained that [Creation] had created the mine and the effect of theInfinite Ore EXboth Milia and Branch Manager Jess were imnsely impressed.

A mont of silence passed for a while, and eventually, Milia ca to herself and opened her mouth.

The light on Mahoros Island was caused by Kou-san after all

I heard the city was in an uproar. Im sorry.

No, no, dont worry about it. I an, thank you for protecting Fort Port. If the eruption had happened, I am sure the earthquake and tsunami would have caused a lot of trouble. Isnt that right, Branch Manager Jess?

Yes, you are right, Milia-san.

Jess nodded while holding the bridge of her glasses with her right index finger. The lenses of both his eyes shone brightly.

I am very grateful to you for saving the city from the crisis not only once but twice. I cant thank you enough, Kou-san. I dont an to say this as a thank you, but I will do my utmost to make sure the mine will benefit you.

The branch manager, Jess, told this and then turned his attention to Milia.

Since Mahoros Island is under the jurisdiction of Count Maillard, we need to talk to him and then to His Majesty the King, dont we?

Right, sir! Leave the negotiations to ! I will ensure that the Adventurers Guild will be in charge of the mine itself and that the profits from the mine will go right into Kou-sans pocket!

Milia stood up from the sofa and tapped her own chest with a reassuring thump.

This seems like a safe thing to entrust her with.

The next day was a bit more hectic.

The Adventurers Guild had decided to conduct another survey of Mahoros Island, and I had to head for the island with Milia and the guild staff.

When the staff mbers entered the islands mines, they were amazed at the abundance of ore stored there.

If we had this much gold and silver, we could probably play and live with it for the rest of our lives!

So there really is such a thing as rough orichalcum, huh?

Eh, no matter how much you mine, it will be restored to its original state after a certain period!? Thats amazing!

Fortunately, no insolent person tried to steal the ore from the mine, and the resurvey proceeded peacefully.

On the last day of the reexamination, Branch Manager Jess ca to Mahoros Island, but at that ti, Tidal had a sowhat sad expression on his face.

What was going on?

As I tilted my head, Tidal whispered to .

Jesss grandfather and grandmother were childhood friends of mine. If I hadnt been a calamity, Id have had a different life.

* * *

It was the evening of four days later when the re-survey of the island was completed.

It seed that a ship bound for the royal capital was still unlikely to be available.

It would be better to rebuild the Orichalcum Rox into a large passenger ship with [Creation] after all.

I will try that tomorrow.

For dinner that night, we decided to go to Orchid Fragrant Restaurant and have a sea-boat paella.

I entered the restaurant with Iris, Lily, Surara, and Leticia.

The table we were shown to was on the second floor as before, overlooking the stage on the first floor.

Today, too, a chef was cooking on the stage, lifting a huge frying pan.

Hes always so dynamic

It looks like a lot of work. But I guess Kou can do the sa thing.

Maybe.

When wearing Armored Bear Armor, it is possible to lift the huge frying pan with one hand since it hasMonstrous Strength S . When it cos to cooking, theres also the [Dexterity].

While I was thinking about this, the food arrived.

What was ordered this ti was the Dragon Slayer style sea boat paella.

I ordered it because I was intrigued by a dish on the nu that bore my alias.

The dish is based on the so-called ordinary sea boat paella.

Yellow rice colored with saffron is placed in a vessel resembling a ship, and seafood such as shrimp, squid, octopus, etc., are scattered on the rice.

The dish is also topped with crispy roasted Aunen local chicken and tender stewed Toue beef, and a vegetable hotep stew is served in a separate bowl. Hotep is a traditional Surier dish, a soup similar to pot-au-feu in French cuisine.

Thats a hell of a lot of food.

I couldnt help but let the words escape my mouth.

I wondered if we could eat all of it.

Or rather, which part of it is the Dragon Slayer style?

As I was wondering, Leticia, who was sitting across the table from , said.

Aunen chicken, Toue beef, and Suriers hotep. All of them are specialties of the cities that Kou-sama has visited so far.

So its the Dragon Slayer style

Lily nodded and brought the crispy roasted Aunen chicken to her mouth.

It is delicious.

Yay! Ill take it! Munch!Munch!

As usual, Surara is eating at a trendous rate. For a little guy, hes the biggest eater at the party, isnt he?

I wonder if slis can get fat from eating too much.

When he was carrying the orichalcum ore, he was about ten tis the size of the original, but when he spit it out, he was back to his normal size.

The technology of the ancient civilization is a mystery

After finishing our al, we all decided to return to the inn.

Oh, Kou-sama. You may go out for a drink with Iris-sama if you like.

Leticia whispered to teasingly.

Im rooting for the two of you. Co on, please dont be shy.

What in the world are you talking about?

Well, well, its kind of a nice thing to say, isnt it?

Leticia poked in the side with her left hand.

Then she declared, Lily-sama, Surara-sama, were racing to the inn! and then she ran up the hill in a very energetic manner.

Lily and Surara followed behind her, leaving Iris and alone.

Now what?

What shall we do?

The two of us looked at each other.

Honestly, Id like to take a good nights rest at the inn.

I agree with you. Ive been working a lot recently, and Id like to have so ti to do nothing at all.

Shall we go ho then?

Yes. Yes, lets do that.

Iris nodded with a smile on her face and brushed her hair with her right hand.

Then she opened her mouth, looking a little more relaxed.

Hey, Kou.

What is it?

I forgot to tell you, thanks for the spear.

You an the Fimbul?

Yeah. I was happy to be able to help you in a way other than as a shield this ti.

Im the one who should be thanking you. Iris was there to stop the eruption from happening.

I hope I did a little good for you.

Of course you did.

I answered shortly, and then, on a whim, I asked the question.

What are you going to do when this is all over?

Eh?

Iris raised her voice as if she were confused. She repeatedly blinked while looking at .

What do you an?

Iris often says you want to repay , right?

Thats right. Kou has helped a lot, after all.

So, when youre done repaying all the favors, what then?

As I asked this question, I felt the ambiguity of the relationship connecting Iris and .

Lily, for example, has been instructed by the God of War religion to accompany . The composition of the [Transmigrator] and the [God of Wars Shrine Maiden] who accompany together is one clear relationship.

However, Iris has not received such instructions from the Dragon-folks land, and her role as a [Dragon Gods Shrine Maiden] has long since ended when she restored the Dragon Gods shield.

I wonder if Iris will just disappear in a huff once she finishes returning all the favors.

For so reason, the thought of that possibility gives a tightening sensation in my chest.

I peeked at her with a sideways glance. Iris noticed my glance and opened her mouth.

What about Kou?

Iris continued to speak as if she was looking for my reaction.

Even if the favor is done, I think Ill still be with you. If its not too much trouble for you, Kou.

There is no way that it would be trouble. Iris is

Iris is an important friend of mine.

Normally, I would have told her that.

But tonight, I had a strange feeling of discomfort.

Without realizing it, I had my eyes fixed on the back of my left hand. It was the spot where I had touched Iriss hand the other night.

The temperature at that mont was strangely nostalgic.

I dont know why I feel that way, but Im going to rephrase my answer from earlier.

I care about Iris. It doesnt matter how much you owe .

You an you dont mind being with you?

Yes.

I look into her crimson eyes and tell her.

I want you to stay with as long as you dont mind, Iris.

Yeah.

Phew, Iris loosened up her expression.

She sighed in relief and then said.

Thank you. I can stay here, right?

Of course, you can.

Iris took a step or two ahead of and turned around to look back at .

The red hair was dancing in the wind.
