Chapter 60 : The Dragon Girl Recovered On Her Own
Two days after agreeing to the commission, Aria and co headed toward Renald .
As they traveled, Aria conversed with Reis about the skeleton they were hired to escort . The remains of the Earth Dragon were what became of Stella before her reincarnation .
「So only the skeleton remained, huh…」
「The skeleton is still intact because it was dismantled by a first-rate worker . 」
Slightly apart from the chatting duo, Stella was looking up at what was left of her corpse .
Seeing where her eyes were fixed, Tama sent her a telepathic message .
「…」
―― Are you okay, Stella?
Tama knew beforehand that the object they had to escort was Stella’s old body .
It seemed her death left a deep trauma in her .
She had clearly been in a slump these past two days .
Even her gluttonous habits were affected, she had eaten like a normal person recently .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntThe sudden change began when Aria suggested Stella should stay behind with Vulcan .
Stella rejected the proposal, refusing to leave Tama’s side .
Along the way to Renald, there were monster raids and fighting was inevitable, but Stella didn’t get the chance to lift even a finger . Tama made sure to dispatch all the enemies with his 《Elemental Roar》 .
―― What’s the matter, Stella?
[TL:……………… Can I comment here?]
[ED: Please don’t . ]
―― …
Tama was speechless .
「By the way, Reis-san… How are you going to transport this humongous skeleton? I think it’s too heavy for the horses…」
「 Don’t worry about that, Arisan . I’ve splurged my money to prepare this orichalc.u.m-casted carriage and〝Lizard Carrier〟to pull it . 」
「I see… I can feel at ease, then . 」
A Lizard Carrier was a rare reptile that was more than two meters long in length .
Smart as a horse but with a more durable body, it was the perfect animal for transporting heavy luggage for long periods .
A sudden call interrupted the conversation .
「Ooh, if it isn’t Arichan and Tamchan! 」
「It’s been a while, Village Chief-san! Long time no see! 」
「Nya~n! 」
The one who appeared to greet them was none other than the Village Chief .
He had spoken to them before, back when they took the subjugation commission of demon Beryl .
He was smiling from ear to ear . After all, Tama and Aria were the heroes who had saved the village .
「You guys are as lively as ever, huh! Could it be… Were you guys the adventurers chosen to escort this dragon skeleton? 」
「That’s right . In fact, we were nominated in name by Reis-san over here . 」
「Hohoho, that’s wonderful . It seems your adventurer rank has risen up too . Well, that might be the result of you guys defeating the demon race . 」
As he said so, the Village Chief looked at Aria’s chest .
Aria’s adventurer tag had changed from silver to gold, indicating her rise from C-rank to B-rank adventurer .
Even though she defeated the demon race alongside Vulcan, it was still a great accomplishment . Tama defeating 4 trolls made her rank rise even further .
Naturally, Vulcan was promoted to B-rank as well .
(Hm, this Village Chief . He’s staring at my dear master’s cleavage while pretending to look at her tag . I guess he needs a little punishment for his mischief . )
Tama had already noticed the Chief’s lascivious gaze, but his master seemed to be oblivious .
Taking matters into his own paws, he jumped straight onto Aria’s melons . From his new position, he directed his adorable yet fierce gaze at the Chief’s face .
This intimidation tactic worked wonderfully .
No matter how cute its appearance was, the Chief knew that elemental cat had slaughtered an rank monster by itself .
Letting out a small whimper, the Village Chief quickly averted his gaze from Aria’s chest .
「T-That aside… Who is the young lady who’s out of breath over there? 」
The Chief asked Aria as he looked at Stella .
Tama had been distracted by protecting Aria from that man’s lecherous gaze and hadn’t noticed Stella’s excited state until now .
She was panting as if she was getting excited .
(T-This girl! So she really is getting excited whenever she recalls the moment I killed her!?)
Her perversion had just skyrocketed .
Stella was getting excited by the memory of being slaughtered .
Rather than being aroused by the memory of her death, she was actually thinking about other situations .
Namely, what would have become of her if Tama had approached her in his “Behemoth” form .
She was also considering that she might have been impregnated by him in one shot .
Those thoughts were something Tama was blissfully unaware of .
(Well, whatever . Anything is fine as long as she manages to conquer her fear . Now she might regain her appet.i.te and be ready to enter a battle at any moment . )
Tama forced himself to let it go .
Meanwhile, the Village Chief invited Aria and co to spend a night in this city’s inn .
The delicious dishes and open-air bath swept away their fatigue . They were fully prepared for their job .
