The Only Aura User In Magic World-Chapter 37

Reporting Dragon’s Appearance

As I returned to the girls, I saw both of them are panicking.

“I have returned!”

“You’re finally here! What was that roar before?!”

“That was me pretending to roar like a dragon.”

“And that dragon we just saw was Blobby, right? Don’t tell me she can fly?”

“Not yet. I just threw her as strong as I can and she’s freely gliding to somewhere with a lot of people before she turn away to an empty area. Maybe in the future she can fly after I raise my level. But now that we have seen a dragon, it’s best for us to go to the main road and return to Mellian as fast as possible. And act like that was really a dragon and we’re escaping out of fear. If you can’t act, just pretend you’re shaken and can’t speak at all. At least until we return to the inn. Let’s go now!”

After answering Angela, the three of us went to the direction of the main road. And since it’s closer to Mellian than other cities. We choose to return to Mellian just one day after we said goodbye. If I meet Hill, it will be very awkward.

Soon we reached the main road and we saw a carriage going to Mellian. We asked for a ride because of the dragon and they let us ride with them. They were originally going to another city but because of the dragon appearance, they decided to return to Melk. And that’s about all the conversation we had. They seems to be very afraid of the dragon while we were acting like we are afraid. So none of us talk the whole way. We just said thank you and goodbye when we reach the gate.

.....

Unfortunately, the one who guards the gate right now is Hill. Now it became awkward since he also said that he won’t see me again.

“Well… so you’re the guard for today?”

“…yes. It was because the appearance of the dragon. Someone who entered before said that he heard the roar of a dragon. So the whole city panicked and I was told to guard the gate. Did you also saw it? You must be. And that’s why you returned here.”

“That means someone already reported it to the guild, right? Then I don’t need to go there and said the same thing.”

“No. I suggest that you still report it to the guild. They want to see if everyone saw the same thing or not.”

“Alright then, I’ll go to the guild right away. The two of you should find an inn quick. Because of the dragon, many people come here and it will be harder for us to find an inn. Meet me at the guild after you find one.”

“Okay.”

I send the girls off and when I was about to leave, Hill invite me for a dinner.

“Hey, are you free tonight? I want to hear more about the dragon. And some other question about my men.”

“If it’s your treat, then I’m free.”

“You mean you won’t come if you have to pay? You’re so petty.”

Then I left Hill and go to the Hunter Guild. It was crowded with a lot of people and most of them probably informing about the appearance of the dragon. Only some hunters actually heard the roar, but that’s good.

When it was my turn to report, I said the same thing to the staffs but with an additional report of my own.

“It was close to us and flew right above us. And when that monster was above us, it spilled some liquid like blood on the ground right in front of me. That’s when I decide for us to escape and return to the city. I don’t know if that was drop of blood or something else, and I don’t know if that thing was injured or it has killed someone. I only speak of something that I see. I don’t think my party members saw the blood so it might be because I was panicked.”

With this, they might request some high rank hunters to investigate the area where the dragon fly. It will be soon before they find the corpse of the scarred palm guy.

After finishing my report, I found Angela and Kayla waiting me in the lobby. They have found an inn and it’s the same inn we used before. It’s just that they only rent one room.

“Perfect.”

“No! Not perfect! There’s only one bed and three of us! You will have to find another inn!”

“Shouldn’t you find one for me since I asked you? It will be fine if I transform Blobby into a bed, right?”

“Sigh… fine. But it will be us who sleep with Blobby. You still haven’t summoned her yet?”

“Later when we’re at the inn. Just tell me which room and open the window so I can enter through the window.”

“Why would you enter through the window?”

Then it’s Kayla who has been quiet for a while that answered Angela. Kayla always the quiet one among us three and she’s just letting Angela asks me something.

“One man. Two girls. One room. What would everyone who saw us says?”

“…I’ll open the window.”

“I’m fine if you want to be Roy’s girlfriend as well, you know?”

“No thanks. I think that kind of thing is too soon for me.” ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

“Ugh… I’ve been rejected… Well, I have a dinner with Hill so you I’ll meet at the inn later. See ya!”

I left the guild to the restaurant Hill invited me to.

Being a captain of the city guards make him able to reserve a private room in the restaurant he told me to go. This is dangerous. I must never show him my back!

“Don’t worry. I promised you that we’re just friend.”

Noticing how I acted, he said so. But I still won’t relax my vigilance.

“So, why are you inviting me? I don’t think it’s about the dragon since with your status you can just ask the guild.”

“You’re right. I don’t really care about the dragon since if that monster want to attack this city, there’s nothing we can do against it. The most we can do is to evacuate the citizen. What I want to ask is about my boys. Let’s talk while we eat.”

The dishes were served by the waitress. Of course I asked for quantity over quality.

“Can you even finish all of these?”

“Hey! If it’s meal paid by someone else, I have bottomless stomach. But because you’re my friend, I only ask less than usual. Be grateful, captain.”

“…even if you say that, I can’t be grateful to you.”

Then I took off my shirt and continued eating while being shirtless.

“… Excuse me! We’re ordering some more.”

“Just friend, okay.” f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

“Good friend indeed. Anyway, back to what we’re here for.”

“Right. What are you gonna ask me about?”

“About my boys and their training. I feel like they train their bodies more than they practice magic. I’m worried if there’s any monster attack that they can’t defeat even the weakest monster since they only train their bodies.”

“Are you stupid? You’re their captain! You just need to tell them to practice their magic or they will be punished. That’s all it takes.”

Hearing my answer, Hill slammed the table as he only realized it just now.

“That’s right! How could I forgot such simple thing like that?”

“You’re enjoying the view too much you forgot about the important thing. Don’t forget that you are the one responsible for this city’s protection. The citizens depend on you to protect them. Not the hunters, nor the nobles. They placed their trust in you, people with uniform. If that dragon decided to attack here, it’s your duty to protect the citizens and evacuate them.”

Not that the dragon will ever attack this city. At least not Blobby dragon.

“You’re right! I guess I panicked too much because of the dragon’s appearance. I will tell the boys to not forget to train their magic even if they don’t want to let go of their physical training.”

His mood has changed for the better. As a captain of the guards, his responsibility is too big for me to fathom. But at least I could give him my wisdom since I’m mentally older than him.

“Oh, yeah! About your training. I’m worried that they will turn slimmer if they trained too much and turned just like you. Should I just ask them to stop?”

“No need. Their body won’t be like mine if they trained as I instructed. Let’s say that my body is better for agility and the training I gave them is focused for their strength. Instead of getting slimmer, if they consume a lot of nutritional food and train more, they will get bigger.”

“Ahahaha! I like that! You are the best friend I ever had!”

“Just friend.”

“Yeah, just friend!”

We partying until late and I went to the inn after taking the drunk Hill to his place.
