Dealing with the Aftermath

After the Great Dragon Kathe flew off, Nia sat down weakly .

She must have been on edge this whole time .

On close inspection, her tail was clenched tightly between her legs .

I patted her on the head .

“You kept your cool very well . Good job . ”

“Thank you . But I can’t even stand now . ”

“You’re just relieved that the dragon is gone now . It can’t be helped . ”

She had at least abstained from putting her tail between her legs until Kathe went away .

That was some nerve, considering she had encountered a Great Dragon on her first mission .

Shia hugged her tightly .

“Nia . You did wonderfully . ”

“Oh, thank you, sister . ”

“Yes-yes . You’re just like your older sister, Nia . ”

As we all praised Nia, Grulf began to run in a circle around me .

His tail, which had been between his legs a moment ago, was now wagging vigorously .

He was suddenly very energetic now that Kathe was gone .

Grulf looked at me with pure expectation .

However, I felt a bit of a dilemma about whether or not I should praise him .

Grulf had been hiding in my shadow the whole time .

That wasn’t exactly something praise-worthy .

However, he hadn’t cried or run away either .

And perhaps that was as much as I should expect from a wolf pup .

“Grulf, you did well too . I’m glad that you didn’t run away . ”

“Groof!”

As I petted him, he puffed out his chest proudly . And then he wagged his tail even more .

As I petted Grulf for a while, Nia was finally able to stand on her feet again .

She slowly got up .

“Are you fine already?”

“Yes . I’m sorry that you had to see something so pathetic . ”

“No, don’t worry about it . ”

“Thank you . ”

Nia said with a smile .

“As we just won a great victory, we must give a cry of triumph!”

“Cry of triumph?”

“Yes! It is a custom in our tribe to do it after a great victory . ”

“I see . ”

“Yes! It is a very important custom . Do you mind if we do it?”

“I don’t mind . ”

And so Nia took in a deep breath . And then shouted very loudly .

“Ruff-ruff!”

I heard this shout before .

The beastkin wolves had shouted this after winning the battle against the Vampire High Lords .

So it was actually an important tradition for them .

After shouting to her heart’s content, Nia stopped to look at Shia .

“Sister? Why aren’t you shouting too?”

“Um, it’s just that…the timing is very difficult . ”

Shia said as she fidgeted .

Now that I think of it, I only saw her doing it once .

It was after defeating the High Lord .

Maybe she felt embarrassed .

“Sister, let’s do it together . ”

“Uh, but…”

“We have to do it after defeating a powerful foe . ”

“But it was Mister Locke who defeated the dragon…”

Shia said modestly .

“Shia . This is a victory for the whole party . ”

“Is-is that so . ”

“Alright sister, let’s do it together!”

“OOOOOO! Ruff-ruff!”

“AWWOOOO!”

Grulf also added his howl to Shia and Nia’s voices .

When they were done, Grulf looked at me smugly .

Shia and Nia also looked somewhat refreshed .

As they enjoyed the sensation of having shouted, Serulis looked towards the cave .

“Concealment magic is amazing . I can’t even tell where the cave is anymore . ”

“A good Sorcerer will still be able to find it, but a Warrior might have trouble . ”

“I suppose so . Oh, we haven’t dealt with the goblin bodies yet . ”

“They burned up by the dragon breath . ”

“Oh, right… It’s a good thing we collected the magic stones first . ”

Had we not done that, the mission would have ended in a failure .

“Well, let’s go back then . ”

“We are freed from the work of dealing with the bodies!”

“It’s nice and easy . ”

And so we all started to walk towards the capital .

After walking for some time, Nia came up next to me .

“Mister Locke! Mister Locke, are you a Magic Warrior? They say that you are the strongest F-Rank Warrior . ”

“So you haven’t told her, Shia?”

“Yes . I didn’t think I should tell anyone your secret without your permission . ”

Shia was a very serious girl .

“I see . Thank you . ”

“No! It’s the obvious thing to do . ”

Shia’s tail wagged happily .

And so I turned to Nia and said,

“I’m registered as a Warrior at the guild, but my real job is a Sorcerer . ”

“Really! But it’s amazing that you were able to control the dragon like that!”

Nia’s eyes were bright . I felt as if she had immense respect for me .

“Mister Locke is the strongest Sorcerer . ”

Serulis said proudly for some unknown reason .

“Was this not the first time you’ve fought against a dragon, Mister Locke?”

“Yes . I have beaten dragons before . ”

“How many have you beaten?”

“Hmmm . I have beaten three of them solo . And as a party, I would say around ten . But there are even more that we forced to surrender, like today . ”

Stronger dragons tended to be intelligent . You could talk to them .

And so it was quite common to find a solution through talking, once you have shown your power .

And through the information network of the dragons, things tended to head in a positive direction over all .

“That’s amazing!”

Nia’s respect seemed to deepen .

“It really is . ”

“Yes . ”

“Groof . ”

Serulis, Shia and Grulf all looked at me with admiration .
