A son at his age hides things under the bed that he doesn't want his female parent to see.
"Don't take my Will with you. He's not a slut.
Well, there's no bookstore in this mountain.
Letting out a wry smile, Ronin changed the subject.
'Come to think of it, it's almost noon and there's plenty of time for that.
What do you mean by "margin?
I'm just saying I'm not going to panic about Will overcoming his ordeal. Overcome the test and you're coming down the mountain.
"Oh, that's the thing. Don't worry, Will will fail the ordeal.
"Don't lick the boy. I can drive away a dragon with ease.
That's true, only if you're a lowly dragon. But you can kill a lesser dragon, but you can't kill time. Not even the bravest.
What does that mean?
"It's just the way it is. On Will's way home, I placed a deer in need of the holy lancet. Gentle Will would give them some of the holy rancor he collected.
"...... oops, what a cunning thing to do!
Say what you will. It's for little Will.
Well, I know the feeling: ....... But what happens if Will goes back for the St. Rango? Maybe in the tenth level as well.
Yes, there is. But it will take hours to get back to the dragon's den from the forest where we met the deer, and hours more to get to the tenth level. It's impossible.
How about that?
It was Vandal, the god of magic, who countered with a loud laugh.
He approached with a broad smile.
What was that laugh?
It's just that I'm tired of you underestimating Will's abilities. I'm sure he can master the magic of the Flying spell and return to the dragon's hole in a matter of minutes.
You might as well go to ....... But there is no way to reach the tenth level. Because the tenth level is a dragon's den and there are countless lesser dragons.
There are red, blue, green, and many different dragons. But Will might be able to plow through them and get some holy orchids.
I can't.
"Then you want to bet?
Okay. What do you want to bet?
"Very well. The right to a final embrace as Will departs
I'd like to say, "Okay--I'd like to say it, but let's not.
"Cowed?
Yes. I mean, I already know the result.
Then Millia shows the image in the mirror in Will's room.
You can see Will running towards you with a smile on his face.
He has more orchids in his hands than he can hold.
Move the image to the Dragon Mountain's tenth level.
There you'll find a number of bearded dragons.
Their wings and bodies are damaged.
So Will had gone through the tenth level alone to collect the holy orchid.
Seeing this, Ronin saw it and muttered.
...... You're an absolutely unfathomable child. I wonder how much stronger he will become.
"Boys, if you don't see him for three days, scrape him up. I can't even imagine what kind of hero Will will come back as if he were to leave.
Vandal, the god of sorcery, let out a sullen "...... humph" as she stared at Miria, the goddess of healing.
But she seemed to acknowledge that Will had survived the ordeal.
I'll let you go on the trip, but only for a little while. I'll put it back in the mountains in six months and I won't let it go.
Apparently, Millia admits her defeat and allows her to leave.
The strongest opponents of departure, the hardest of the opposing factions, approve, and Will's departure is decided, but then he is torn between how he will spend his last hours of adulthood.
