-《Saintess Party》Elma’s POV 3: Where Do You Go, Dragon Slayer!? –
After hearing that Dragon Slayer was on the volcanic island of Magrid in the guild of the port town of Hargay, we immediately headed south by boat.
Looks like Magrid is a place famous as a hot spring resort, so after adding Dragon Slayer to the party, let’s take it slow and relieve my pent-up stress——so I thought.
So I thought, but.
“…Dragon Slayer? Who is that?”
No, why did he suddenly become unknown!?
At the absurd development, I became greatly perplexed.
Eh, wasn’t it strange?
A hero from a town directly connected through the sea route to this place had gone out of his way to come here, ya know?
Normally, wouldn’t the whole town throw a big event to welcome him?
Yet, let alone welcome him, they didn’t even know him…
Eh, seriously, what the heck!?
“Oya, is something the matter? Your complexion doesn’t look good… fui~.”
“No, I’m fine…” Of course, I wasn’t fine…
At this rate, wouldn’t my refreshing plan go down the drain…?
Or rather, why did you sweat so much!?
What would you do if your dirty sweat soaked into my luggage!?
Ahhh mou, irritatiiiing!?
I wanted to scratch my head within, but the saintess couldn’t do such ungraceful act.
So, I breathed deeply and pretended to be calm somehow.
If that stupid Exa was here at this kind of time, he would have been a good outlet for my stress, but why wasn’t he here at the crucial time?
Really, what a useless guy… I bit my lips.
But perhaps it was a small mercy of this damning situation, I heard some interesting rumor.
It was said that the guardian deity whose legends had been passed down from the ancient times on this island——‘Lord Fire God’ had been resurrected.
It was said that the islanders had actually witnessed his majestic appearance with their own eyes, moreover, he even drove an Adamantia away by himself.
That was why the town was surrounded a festive mood such that they were having a feast every day until the other day.
I felt it was likely that it was because of this that the existence of Dragon Slayer became obscured.
After all, the other party was a legendary guardian deity.
I had to meet him by all possible means.
That was because I was the saintess.
Because I was the only woman chosen by the Holy Sword.
Since that was the case, he would definitely bestow me some great power.
Thinking so, I decided to forget about Dragon Slayer for the time being and said to the luggage carrier. “Well then, let’s go to the mayor’s place to get permission to visit the shrine of Lord Fire God.”
But.
“I-I deeply apologize, but… I think I’m reaching my limit to move in this heat… hafuu~.”
“……” T-this piii~g…
Desperately enduring the desire to slap him with all my might, I continued clenching my fist unknowingly.
