「Yaho, Sigurd. Where's Dabble-san? 」

「Naa, you, you were back already!? 」

「You're in the study again, alright, alright」

I don't use honorifics for Sigurd anymore. He seems more dignified now than what he was before and he seems to be aiming now to succeed his father, but well that will still come much further in the future. I finally reached Dabble-san's study and opened the door. I ignored Sigurd's grumbles.

「Greetings Viscount Cotoise, I came to receive the Certificate of Completion」

Dabble-san who raised his face from became wide eyed and got shocked from the way I delivered my words and looked like a dumb panda. What's wrong? Were you too busy overworking yourself?

「Didn't I tell you not to use honorifics for me anymore... Well I can't blame you. But then again, since you're back does that mean that you have defeated that monster」

「I have already Informed Drew-san regarding that, I also heard that they would be setting up a festival regarding the Dragon Subjugation's Announcement for tomorrow and seems to be gathering people right? 」

「Well, to erase the city's state of confusion. We planned to host a grand festival and that should calm them for now」

Festival is it. There will be a lot of things to see that isn't usually around and I also want to things, especially weapons with a good bargain price. The only weapons I have left are dismantling knives after all.

「I'll leave handling all the things to you, my role will be over after I hand over the Red Dragon」

「Understood... Right, if possible, I would like to hand over the certificate of completion when presenting the Red Dragon, is it alright?」

「Ah, is it because you can't believe it without seeing the real thing?」

If it's me, I also won't believe of it normally. Are, why are you getting nervous now and start trembling from my earlier question? Is something wrong? Is there something else going on? I won't accept any request anymore though. I want to go to the kingdom as soon as possible.

「No... Currently, the inhabitants seem to have a grudge against me for some reason. I would like to announce the state of things publicly, but I don't really know how to deal with that decree...」

Ah, yeah, that's how all of this started after all. If the inhabitants knew about that they would definitely drop their trust with the country's leaders. Even if I do something about it now, I won't be able to escape the responsibility of what I have from the start.

「I know that this would cover my reputation in mud. But, right now I can't just make excuses to my son. Sigurd has become more proper lately, but not yet proper enough as a noble. However, the cause for this time is the country. There is a possibility that this was an act to crush the current status. I am only preparing in case the worst situation happens」

「I see, then shall I voice your concern to the king directly?」

「What?」

I showed my guild card to Dabble-san. He looked at the large S character on the card then stared at me.

「I became S Rank from this request. It is also my plan to meet with the King because of my circumstances. If you write a proper letter of concern on the things you wary right, I can do something about it you know? 」

「... It surely is a good offer, I will be relieved if it was you who will offer help」

Even so, you sure are in a critical position. This is the last of my help though.
