Episode 173 [Messenger 1]
When I got used to training at Veld-sama's place, Noah told me that he had something important to tell me.
"So what's the important thing to talk about?"
Even after interrupting my training, Noah told me that he had something important to tell me, so I wiped my sweat and listened.
“I have one request for you, Jin.”
“Please?”
"Yes, actually, I want you to go to the king of a certain country. Last time I went there myself, but there was a bit of a commotion..."
A certain country is a country of dragon people, and Noah seems to have made a certain promise with the ancestors of that country.
The promise was that when he became the new king, Noah would give him a gift, and with that, the king of that country would be recognized as king.
It seems that Noah has kept his promise and goes to the country every time there is a new king, but there was a bit of trouble during the previous king's reign.
``In the past, there were no other races in the country, and it was just a dragon race, so there wasn't that much of a fuss even if I appeared, but hundreds of years have passed since the country was established, and the state of the country has changed. The country has changed a lot, and now it's a country where many different races gather, so whenever I go there, there's always a commotion...''
“I see…but wouldn’t the new king think that because he didn’t come during his time, he wasn’t recognized?”
``Last time, I told them that I won't be coming next time, so it's okay.Instead, I asked them to change the custom of giving me my scales to prove that I'm blessing them.''King Perhaps he thought that if I showed up and caused a commotion, it would cause trouble for me, so he went along with the proposal.''
That's what Noah said, and he handed me the scales as a gift.
The scales were exactly the same color as Noah when he was in dragon form, and as someone who had fought many times with them, I could tell by the feel of them that they were Noah's scales.
"Understood. I'll accept the mission."
"Thank you. I'm sorry for taking up Jin-sama's time on such an errand."
"No, I'm indebted to Noah-san for a lot of things, so I'm fine at this point. Ah, but which country is that dragonman country? I'm going to a place I've been to before. Since I can only teleport to places I have never been to before, I can't use teleportation.''
"As long as it's to that land, I'll send you there, so it's okay. Also, the name of their country is 'Dragonia, the land of dragons.'"
...Well, what did you just say? Dragonia, maybe that Dragonia?
In the main game, it is the only country that has a unique order of knights called Dragon Knights and is the strongest country that was completely unaffected by the Demon King.
If it weren't for the setting that the demon lord could only be subdued with the holy sword held by the hero, there was a country with a king so strong that it was said that the king of that country, the dragon king, would be able to defeat the demon lord.
Did Noah just say something about that country?
“Um...Noah, just to confirm, is the king of that country named Grams Dragonia?”
"Oh? He hasn't been king yet, but Jin-sama is quite well-informed."
Judging from this reaction, I realized that the country I was thinking of was the same country that Noah wanted me to go to on an errand.
...Come to think of it, Grams' armor was so sturdy that it wouldn't break even when some members of the dragon race used [dragon transformation].
And the color of that armor was black, same as Noah's scales.
I see, that's why he looked unfazed even after being attacked by so many monsters.
After that, Noah asked me when I could go, and since I wouldn't know unless I asked my friends, I said let's talk again tomorrow, so I ended today's training and returned to the capital.
"I never thought I'd be able to learn about King Grams' settings in a place like this..."
That's what I thought, as the corners of my mouth turned upwards, so much so that even I could tell.
That king is one of my favorite characters, and I've read a lot of the setting materials for that character.
Then, after my grin subsided, I left the room and told Chloe and the others about Noah's request.
"Hey, Gin-kun. Are you going there alone?"
When I told her my request, Chloe asked me.
Rei and Len were also listening to Chloe's words, silently staring at me.
"Ah, I won't know until I ask Noah-san about that, but I'm not going out either, so I think I'll do a little sightseeing before asking for a favor... Do Chloe and the others want to come too?"
"I want to go"
“I heard that strong people gather in Dragonia, so I wanted to go there!”
“I also have materials that can only be obtained in that country, so if I can go there, I want to live there.”
Everyone answered yes to my question, so I said I would ask them tomorrow and ended the discussion.
Then, the next day, I told Noah that I could go to the country and asked if I could bring my friends with me.
Noah seemed to have wanted to take my friends with him from the beginning, and told me it was okay if I came along.
After that, when I finished training that day and returned to the inn, Chloe and the others were very happy when I told them that they could also go.
