The Final Adventure

Its almost time, isnt it.

Eh? Almost time for what?

In other words, it was almost time for the Millennium to begin.

In Winter of Year 3002 on the Continental Calendar, an omen had appeared.

Each of the country leaders opened communications with each other, but even though they sought to cooperate, it didnt go well.

Setting aside Istria that had was as exhausted by civil war as it was, the strong, emerging country of Ogress took a neutral position.

The information Serge sent to them that he got from Azel had a hand in that as well.

Regent Guineveres opinions held heavy sway internally and Queen Ryuke Riana used the former ogres as an example. Both of them wanted to avoid hostile behavior in this.

Of course, as Casalia, the Magic City and Holy City all bordered the demons domain directly, they were vehemently against this. [1]

Even the Magic City criticized Ogress attitude.

However, his cheeks just loosened from what he read in the letter he got that came from Ogress.

In addition to Carla and Shizunas child from two years before, Fios first and Shizunas second children were born this year.

I wonder how cute they are~. They couldve at least sent me a photo with magic.

For her to have four formal children in the last three years did that make her lewd? Did she have sniper-like accuracy? Or maybe she should be called a hero? [2]

It wouldnt be funny if the Dragonslayer couldnt fight due to being pregnant.

A knocking sound came from the door. It was Chris.

Yeah.

From Ogress?

Serge sent information he learned from Azel to Ria, but Serge never received important information from Ria. At most, it was just her saying what information she wanted to know.

The next expedition?

Ah, targeting the Hydra, right?

And I want to make this the last one.

What was that just now?

No no no, hold up! Dont just go and decide on that!

Of course, Chris knew of Ogresss movements as a country.

Thats why he couldnt keep up with her saying something like that so suddenly.

Even Azel said that this town would in all likelihood fall.

But even so, Chris remained stubborn.

I already have the power to fight.

This was a failure.

Something like enough power to defeat a single Hydra was nothing before a truly strong person.

How do you know that if I havent tried?

Alright. Well, lets make this next adventure the last one.

And Ill have you know just how unsuited for war you are.

He prepared everything carefully. They were going to go after a Hydra.

And moreover, Serge wasnt the one to do it. It was done by Chris, alone.

Their preparations for facing the Hydra were solid. With this, theyd definitely be able to defeat it. However, the problem was what would happen after that.

The group left early in the morning.

Their pace firm, the group headed to their target location. It was a swamp that had a Hydra sighting reported.

Chris no longer whined about wanting to go to the bathroom or bathe. That was because she learned how to do those things on her own, though.

Their group reached the swamp.

They threw the animal blood theyd prepared into the swamp. This was the first demerit. They had to burn down a bit of the forest to secure their footing.

Uooh

The one that Serge had taken on himself before was a Five-Headed Hydra. This ones difficulty would be a bit higher.

Chriss magic soared over to the warriors. Right, this was the second demerit.

Well, Hydras were essentially warlike creatures, so they wouldnt generally run away though.

The battle went steadily.

It was hard for them to defeat its first neck, but the fight got easier after that.

The final neck torn off by her wind magic, the battle was over.

Yeah, thats all it took.

The warriors sat back on the spot to rest. Chris was using her staff to somehow hold herself up. The healing mage was on his knee.

Serge approached Chris.

Yep, but disqualified.

Its tip was pointed to Chriss throat.

Serge spoke in a cold voice.

Chris stared at Serge.

Their companions didnt understand what was happening either. The only reality was that they could see Serge hold a dagger against Chris.

That would be difficult. To be frank, even if she fought with her all against a fully recovered Serge, her winning was unlikely.

But arent you going to fight?

Youll fight and suffer, wont you?

Aah, so that was it?

Chris had wanted to be together to be together, fighting alongside Serge.

Her eyes obviously puzzled, Chris looked at Serge again.

Im in charge of logistics didnt I say that?

Im better at that than my skill in magic. Thats why I didnt fight in the previous war.

So Chris, you dont have to fight either.

He head probably wasnt working right just yet, but at any rate, it looked like she understood.

The standing Serge shouted at the warriors who were slowly recovering their endurance!

Hyahha!

Like this, his last adventure in the Magic City ended.

Right.

His promise with Azel.
