Volume 1 Chapter 6 I Think About 2% of People Will Get Their Backs Up If You Give Them a Hard Time. This Time It's One of Them
And that's what this is about.
The Great Mine of Gold World (Kinsekai) is a dungeon in the Chaos Stone Dragonstone Kingdom.
It exists because of the operation of the state.
In this world, there is no mint or anything like that.
By managing a big dungeon well, they developed a way to systematically defeat monsters and collect coins from them, which is somewhat like a 'mint.'
It's an age where power creates gold coins, not technology.
This cannot be wrong.
Therefore, how this dungeon is treated is very important for the Dragonstone Kingdom.
Of course, it is also a dungeon that the Adventurers' Guild, which holds many adventurers, wants to deal with.
After various negotiations, a contract was made that allows the Dragonstone Kingdom to prioritize the use of some ore and gem materials obtained here, so many adventurers are involved.
However, the Adventurers' Guild itself is an overwhelming organization and is on a higher level compared to the small country of Dragonstone.
You need to be careful in how to handle this.
...Just to add,
the Adventurers' 'Guild' is a place that decides strict rules for adventurers' actions.
In other words, it is the system side, the auditing side.
And when 3 or 4 adventurers gather, it's called an adventurer party.
If several parties come together, it's an adventurer team.
When merchants and blacksmiths join that team, and the number grows, it becomes an adventurer community.
Then, when this adventurer community starts to take requests from outside and solves them, it becomes an 'Adventurers' Guild.'
In short, the adventurer community named Luster Report had merchants and blacksmiths and was of a certain scale but did not have a system to handle requests from outside.
That's the point.
Nevertheless, even now that it has become a hero community, it still remains an extension of the adventurer community.
In other words, when Luster Report arrived in Dragonstone, it laid the ground for adventurers to get carried away in this country.
The hero community is great, but adventurers in ordinary guilds are just average people; that's how humans are.
"My Master and Luster Report have permission from the Dragonstone government to use the dungeons anytime, so let's continue."
"That's really generous."
So, Horace and Rangella were heading toward the Great Kinsakai Mine.
It seemed Horace's 'preparations' were done, and Rangella looked cheerful and excited.
But then, something blocked their way to the mine.
"Hey, who are you?"
It was a big man in black armor.
He had a sword on his back, a fine weapon, no doubt.
He had a confident look, tall... well, he was tall, but Horace was slightly taller, making him look up.
"He is Horace. He is the master of us 6 leaders of Luster Report."
"Hah? This weak-looking guy is the hero's master? You're kidding!"
"...Are you saying I'm lying?"
"No way this scrawny guy trained a hero! I thought maybe the hero got fooled, and sure enough, you're just a weakling. The hero should just leave you and come to me──"
The man kept talking, clearly enjoying himself.
But he wouldn't last long.
Behind Rangella, a silver world illusion appeared.
'Hey, don't get too cocky, okay?'
"Ah, uh..."
'You can think whatever you want, but there are limits. Don't you realize you're touching the dragon's anger?'
"I'm..."
Rangella's overwhelming pressure.
The achievement of defeating the Demon Lord brought about intense 'pressure.'
If faced up close, normally one couldn't bear it.
And... surely this man wasn't weak by normal standards.
But from Rangella's view, it's not much different from normal.
"That's enough."
"Mmm♪"
As Horace sighed and petted Rangella's head, his intimidating presence seemed to vanish, and he let out a pleased sound.
Maybe because the intimidating vibe disappeared, the man collapsed, weak in the knees.
"I understand your point. I get how you can't accept me, a skinny guy with no energy suddenly showing up. But... the truth is the truth. I don't know what will happen next either, so please don't meddle too much."
"...W-what a...!"
"I don't want to make anyone feel miserable either. Let's go, Rangella."
"Yes, Master."
Rangella followed Horace, who walked off with a big smile.
...That smile was undeniably genuine, and it would be rude to disturb it.
Some think that picking at things is light work.
But, one must be careful of the occasional dragon's wrath there.
