――After the destruction of the “Dontrak Family.”
I was being seen off by Burae, who was once again in her wheelchair.
“Even though you’ve regained your strength, do you still need the wheelchair?”
“Yes, my legs have weakened quite a bit. It’ll take some time for rehabilitation. Besides…”
Burae glanced back with a slight blush on her cheeks. Behind her stood Aura, the maid, smiling.
“She’s taking care of me. Somehow, that makes me really happy.”
“Yes! I also love taking care of my lady~!”
Ah, right, right. That’s enough, you lovey-dovey couple.
“Well then, the third wheel will bow out coolly. Best of luck to you!”
“Ah, please wait a moment, Jade… sir. Aren’t we going to talk about your reward?”
“Huh?”
What is this girl even talking about?
“You didn’t hire me, did you? So, I have no obligation to accept any reward.”
“W-What!? Please wait! You’re the hero who saved the ‘Pioneer City Constantino’! And yet…”
It’s fine, really.
This time, I used a bit too much of my Evil Dragon powers.
If I used cheat powers to gather too much money, it would bring ruin to those trying to live normal lives.
So, I’ve made a decision. I’ll only accept money earned with “moderate power.”
Besides,
“Even though the mafia’s been wiped out, the city’s economy is still stagnant, right? And I hear you’re not even able to pay the maid’s salary properly.”
“That is…”
“Then you should take care of that. Show some responsibility to your citizens and your maid-wife.”
“Wait, wife!?”
Come on, she’s your wife already. I’m not going to argue about that anymore.
“Anyway, take care, Lady Burae. Be happy with Aura.”
With those parting words, I quickly left using “Evil Dragon Dash.”
It’s almost dinner time. Lua and Shirokusa invited me for dinner today, so I’d better hurry.
――
At that moment, my “Evil Dragon Ears,” still wide open, caught a voice from the receding city.
“Really. We didn’t know much about him, but still.”
“In the end, he was a kind person, wasn’t he~?”
I ended up overhearing the lovey-dovey couple’s conversation.
I told you, it was just a whim.
◆ ◇ ◆
“Hey, hey, are you listening, mister!?”
A few days after parting with Brae and Aura, I found myself pestered by the genius adventurer sisters, Neisha and kuesha.
The cheeky one with a smirk is Neisha, and the one laughing politely is kuesha.
“Hey, mister!?”
Yeah, yeah, I’m listening.
“Of course I’m listening. You were sucking Iris’s breast, and milk came out, right? Good for you.”
“It hasn’t come out yet!!!”
Wait, “yet”? What the hell… I was just saying something random, but are they actually doing that frequently?
“That’s not it! While we were exploring the forest, we found a big lake!”
“Yes, we’re currently clearing out the surrounding monsters, but we might eventually venture into the shallow waters.”
“Hmm, so they finally found it.”
Currently, adventurers are spreading out from the ‘Holy Capital’ like a spider’s web, exterminating monsters and expanding land where humans can live.
The same goes for this ‘frontier city, Tristain.’
They’ve been slowly clearing the forest of monsters on the outskirts. And now, they’ve discovered a lake.
(Well, I already knew about it. I mean, I’m an Evil Dragon, I can fly. Plus, I have modern knowledge.)
Our ‘Holy Kingdom of Britannia’ is a country located on what is modern-day Britain.
And the lake they found is probably Lake Windermere. It’s a famous summer resort—at least that’s what it said on Wikipedia.
“Finding a water source is huge. When we expand to build more frontier cities, water will be essential.”
“But it’s an enormous lake. We don’t know how many aquatic monsters live there. Eventually, we’ll have to call on low-rank adventurers, third rank and below, and sweep through it with sheer numbers.”
Makes sense. It’s gonna be profitable and exciting.
“Alright, genius sisters, when the time comes, I’ll follow you, top-tier second-rank adventurers. Give me your orders, my ladies.”
““Our brother will do whatever we say!?””
I didn’t go that far.
““Hehehehe…!””
“What exactly are you two planning?”
I bet they hate me for being such a lowlife. Maybe they want me to jump through flaming hoops or something?
I have ‘Evil Dragon Skin,’ so it wouldn’t hurt me, but it would still sting emotionally—so please, don’t.
““We’ll definitely make you jump through hoops!””
(Oh no, they really are planning the flaming hoop stunt!)
As the silver-haired sisters were cornering me, I suddenly heard the sound of light, quick footsteps coming toward us.
“Huh?”
I turned to see a ridiculously cute girl with light pink hair.
“U-Um, where is that person? Judging by the scent, they should be around here…”
She looked around nervously, sniffing the air like some kind of non-human creature. Now that I look closely, her pupils are swirling.
(Who is this girl…?)
She looked to be in her early teens, about the same age as Neisha and Kuesha, or maybe a little older. But the biggest difference…
““What’s with those boobs!? Brother, don’t look!!””
“Whoa!”
The sisters jumped on me and covered my eyes.
But it was pointless against my ‘Evil Dragon Eyes,’ which can see through a layer of human flesh.
“Huh? Ah! I-I finally found you!”
The girl, her eyes filled with tears of relief, drew the attention of the nearby Tristain residents.
(What are those…?)
Her chest was absurdly huge. Even though she was short, she had at least twice the mass of Iris, the busty female knight. What the heck?
On top of that, she was wearing a maid outfit so short and revealing it looked like something out of a shady brothel, making the situation even more outrageous.
“What’s with that ridiculously busty loli!?”
“Never seen her before!”
“Looks like she’s searching for someone. Should I try talking to her…?”
The men passing by were visibly fidgeting.
But paying no attention to them, the pink-haired girl rushed forward and—
“Your Majesty! I’ve missed you sooo much!”
—threw herself into my arms.
W-What the heck!?
