17-Dragon Slayer




 The water is filled with water using water magic and heated with fire magic to create hot water, and then the sweat and mud covered Roomba is poured into the water.

  ''It's a more comfortable bath than the luxury lodges in the royal city! And the Roomba is screaming.

'There's even soap, hey! It doesn't smell at all! It smells rather nice!'

 No wonder, don't lick the Japanese for their hospitality. They didn't compromise on the baths. It might lose out on space and luxury, but I can guarantee its functional beauty.

 Shut out Rumba's flailing voice and incomprehensible humming and prepare the food with ease.

 Roomba definitely eats well, I'll put out all sorts of spatial magic, just in case.

 After about 30 minutes, Roomba came out of the bathroom.

 I made her wash her clothes in the bathroom as well, so she is currently just wrapping a cloth around her crotch.

''Your muscles are amazing!''

Right? Al, get your muscles together, too, okay?

Six-year-olds don't have muscles fast enough. You won't grow any taller.

Hmm? You were six years old? You're so mature, I thought you were about ten years old.

Ten years old, you're taller than that.

Is that right? Hahahaha!

 Well, given the huge size of the Roomba, a ten-year-old or a six-year-old wouldn't be much different.

Yes, ale.

'Oh? You know what I'm talking about. Are you really a kid?

I'm six.

 Roomba sips on a mug made of earth magic with a questioning look on his face.

'What is this! It's freezing cold! Do you have an ice spell in here?

No, it's just ice magic.

It's getting harder and harder to be a kid when you can use ice magic at your age. If I remember correctly, this country's princess could do ice magic too.

'Is the rumba from King's Landing?'

'Oh, well, that's on the table, let's talk about it over a meal.

I don't have it. I made it.

 I took it out almost by spatial magic, though.



'So this is what they call spaghetti!

Hmm? Where did you hear that?

'Muggy muggy... ah, a merchant I know... muggy muggy... a guy named Triela told me about him.

 I show him how to eat, and he rolls the noodles up with his fork into a ball like a dumpling. It's kind of funny, the mismatch between his muscular body and his noodle-swollen face that looks like a squirrel.

'Ah, so it's you, Tory,'

 Tory-san is a merchant who always comes to Coriat Village.

 That bastard, last year he betrayed me and Bartolo, what's the matter with him, ''Because if you make enemies with the women of Coriat Village, you'll lose your business! Yeah. So, we didn't have any snacks for a week. This year, we're gonna crush it.

"What? I heard something about knocking something over. What's going on?

No, I'm talking to you.

Really? Then I'll have another one!

I'm your mother?


Anyway, what is Rumba doing in the village of Coriat?

 I ask Roomba a question as I boil some new spaghetti.

'Well, I'll answer that. I'm an adventurer from the Kingdom of Misfirito," he says, "and my rank is B, fifth from the top. My rank is B, fifth from the top. I like to travel by nature. I'll go to any small village. The next time you're thinking about where to go next, ask the guy in Trierra about something interesting, and that's why I'm here.

'I see, so that's why you're here. Is this the first time an adventurer has been here since I was born? And it's a very long way from King's Landing to the village of Coriat.

 By the way, the Kingdom of Misfirito is a country to which the village of Koliat belongs. The population near the royal capital is about 100,000. And there are currently about four hundred people living in the village of Koliat. It seems like a large number of people, but they may look small in appearance because they live scattered around the village.

 The number of immigrants has been increasing thanks to the recent boom in activity. And there was an unfamiliar hut that stood at the edge of the village.

I didn't think it was so far away either. I'm exhausted, but I've managed to get here.

 Okay, go ahead and make a plan.

So, what's the plan, then?

'I hear this village is comfortable, and I think I'm going to stay here for a long time!

Where are you staying?

Why not here?

 I knew I would definitely say that.

'Hmmm, well, okay, but why don't you take a bath and cook for yourself?'

'Why? Al lives here, doesn't he?

 That's an unexpected response from me, and Roomba stands up with a bang.

 It's close, close, the pressure is great.

'No, this is my second base of operations, and where I live is a mansion.

The mansion? Is Al a nobleman or something?

I'm the second son of the Rowlettes, for one thing.

'It doesn't look like that at all ... slowlet? You know who I've heard of? What's your lord's name?

 Rumba crosses his arms and thinks about it.

'The Nord ... the Nord-Slowlet is the lord here.

The Dragonslayer!

 Cackling, a wide-eyed Roomba shouts.

 Dragon Slayer? What's with those two names. It's funny.

"What's a Dragon Slayer?

'Was it over a decade ago? They found a dragon near King's Landing, and the dragon's head was chopped off by a Nord who did a great job.

Wow, I didn't know that.

 I know you used to be a terrific adventurer, but you never told me the details of that part of the story. Was he embarrassed by the two names? Ask her when you get home.

I happened to be in the same party as the Nord, and the only time I remember that was the only time I was in a party, but I remember it.

 Roomba blinks nostalgically, and I'm sure Dad Nord will remember it too. He said he'd never forget it once he'd seen it.


 After that, they continue to talk about something else, and she says she wants to stay at the mansion or something, so I have no choice but to take her to the mansion.

 If I left her alone like this, I'd feel sorry for her, or something. I can't leave her alone. Maybe this is the real strength of the Roomba. People can't live alone. If you think about it, the Roomba might be a parasite or something. I'll have you work with Elinora sister's sword in the mansion.

 That's a good idea.



 Heeeeeee.

 When they reached the mansion, Saara led Lumumba to the parlor and went to call for Father Nord.

'Oh? Who is this visitor that Al brought with him?

 Mother Erna came into the parlor, smiling as usual.

'Ah! The wizard who was so in love with that Nord!

'What? Oh, hey, Roomba! Oh, stop it already!

 For a moment, she was shocked, and then her cheeks turned red and she frowned at Erna.

 I may have never seen this expression on Mother Erna's face before. She's so cute that she doesn't even look like she's in her thirties.

"Gahahahahaha! You remember me.

Of course! Not many people would forget about the Roomba.

 Okay, I see, is this the real tone of Mother Erna's voice?

Hey, Al is watching you.

 Mother Erna noticed my gaze, too, and she cleared her throat and turned to me.

'Al, thanks for showing me around. There are some snacks in the living room, go ahead and eat.

 Apparently, he wants to maintain his dignity in front of the kids. I'd like to be treated like a child and go out for a snack, but I'd like to see her in a bit more of a hurry.

'Mother Erna,'

Hmm? What is it?

He's so cute and embarrassed.

What?

 Mother Erna blushing again. Haha, cute!

''Boo! Hahahahahahahaha! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

 Rumba may have gotten the point, but he's laughing so hard.

 Hey, don't knock on the desk.

 Eh! The desk is dented. Oh, man.

 I escaped the parlor and headed to the living room for a snack before Mom Erna caught me.

 On the way there, I ran into Dad Nord, who was pointing at me.

'Ah! The Dragonslayer!

 And then my dad slipped up.

'Hey! Where did you hear that? Wait!

 I heard a voice behind me calling out to me, but I didn't wait. The only people who wait when they are told to wait are dogs.
