Chapter 4
Section 3: Adventure’s End
“For my part, I shall make sure to contact the church after leaving the neighboring village, but are you certain you do not wish to come with us?”

Rose-san was talking to Lapris who was still sitting on Quinn-san’s shoulder.

“I thought you wanted us to bring you to the Goddess?”

“According to that priestess, the Goddess should already know the village has been attacked, so it doesn’t make any sense for me to go all the way to her castle. So I’m not doing it. Being with you people has already seriously shortened my life span.”

Lapris kept talking while slapping her hand against Quinn-san’s forehead.

“Instead, this guy is taking me to Osnell since he’s going that way anyway.”

“We cannot afford to leave the dragon as it is. So I was going to go to Osnell and find a skilled craftsman that can dismantle it.”

Between all the buildings destroyed from the dragon that appears to have escaped from the hero and all the drowsy shroom spores which act as their main source of income during the winter used up to fight it off, Relton was facing a major crisis.

But luckily……or the closest thing to it considering the circumstances, we still had the dragon’s remains. If the rumors are true, this is a lower class dragon, but a dragon is still a dragon. They’re a legendary being, and its hide, horns, fangs, and scales should be more than enough to cover the village’s damages and provide a tiny profit.

“I see. Well in that case good luck to you”

“If possible I’d like to see you two again someday.”

“That goes for the stupid morons too.”

In the end, the dark elf never did reveal themselves. They most likely moved on to their next destination after leading the goblins and golem on an assault against the fairy village and obtaining the fragment of the Grief Sphere. When we came to that conclusion amongst ourselves, Rose-san looked really, immensely disappointed. When I glanced over to her from the side, I did my best to hide it, but I was a little jealous. I don’t have anything I care about enough that could upset me this much.

“Well then we’ve got what we’re owed, so should we head back?”

Carol spun on her heels with a glowing smile. In addition to the official commission, we also received a reward for beating the golem. We were given the remaining parts of the golem left over after it was broken down. Part of that was a lovely jewel-like sphere, the monster’s so-called core. It could apparently be sold for a hefty sum, and Carol wasn’t doing a good job of hiding her excitement.

And then as compensation for killing the dragon, the village mayor readily agreed to give us one of the dragon’s horns along with a portion of its hide and scales after the dismantlement was finished.

“You have all truly helped us over these last couple of days. I cannot thank you enough.”

The village mayor bowed deeply as he spoke. The other villagers gathered around him did so as well.

“You all definitely have to come visit us again. When that time comes, I’ll put all my skills to the test and whip you up a wonderful meal. And if it’s possible, come by in the summer.”

Ryland-san gave us a large smile alongside a meaningful laugh.

“Do you have a husband?”

Ryland-san broke out into a hearty laugh, showing off her white teeth at Toslin’s question.
