YM778.TV Chapter 588 The Dragonmen Visitor
Shinji, who happened to hear the sound, peeked into the entrance hall out of curiosity, and saw a dragon man with a stern face and silver hair, talking to the servant.
Shinji remembered the man’s name, Ichiro. He was a member of the dragon-only adventurer party, “Dragon Horn”.
”I am Ichiro of ‘Dragon Horn’. I brought a letter from my lord. I would like to request an audience with the lord of the manor… Ah, Shinji-dono, you’re looking well.”
”Long time no see. I’ll take care of him, so please go and inform Wolf-sama.”
As Shinji sent the servant who received the letter from Ichiro to Alvin, he faced Ichiro. Ichiro’s attire was just as Shinji remembered–a traditional Japanese garment with a long sleeve that hid his right hand. His dignified demeanor was fitting for a high-ranking adventurer, and Shinji thought that even he wouldn’t be an easy opponent if they were to fight.
”I apologize for the sudden visit. I should have sent a prior notice, but time is of the essence… Please forgive my impoliteness.”
Shinji felt relieved that there seemed to be no hidden agenda behind Ichiro’s deeply bowed head, and that the incident with Himeno hadn’t been discovered. He encouraged Ichiro to raise his head.
”No need to apologize. I don’t think someone like you, who knows etiquette, would do something like this without a reason. Did you come alone?”
”I’m grateful. Ah, no, Jiro and Saburo are waiting outside the gate. I was allowed to enter the premises alone.”
Normally, if someone were to visit a noble’s mansion without an appointment, they would be turned away at the gate. However, most of the people learning martial arts in the Wolf household admired Alvin, and knew that he had fought against “Dragon Horn” in a martial arts tournament. If Ichiro showed his high-ranking adventurer credentials and revealed that they were from “Dragon Horn”, Alvin would likely recognize him as an acquaintance.
That’s why the gatekeeper made a concession, leaving Jiro and Saburo (his attendants) behind, and if he were to leave his weapons, it would be okay to let him pass through. Since Ichiro accepted this proposal, he was able to come to the mansion without being blamed.
”Before coming here, I heard that the ‘Running Wolves’ were on hiatus at the Adventurer’s Guild…. May I ask the reason?”
”Renka is pregnant, and for a while, our adventurer activities will be on hold.”
”Ah, that’s wonderful news. Congratulations, Shinji-dono.”
”Thank you….Is there a problem with going to the Adventurer’s Guild?”
”Hmm…I feel sorry for your wife being pregnant, but I came to ask for your help, Shinji-dono.”
”Me, you mean?”
Shinji’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected words. Just then, the servant who had gone to Alvin’s place returned. The two, who had been interrupted in their conversation, followed the servant to the reception room.
In the reception room, Alvin and Christina were sitting on the sofa, waiting, and Ichiro sat on the sofa facing them, with Shinji standing beside him.
The letter in Alvin’s hand was from Mitono, who had married the dragon’s village chief’s daughter, Himeno, and had become a son-in-law. Alvin, who had participated in the tournament, knew Himeno, but he barely had any conversation with Mitono.
Even with such a shallow relationship, Mitono, who had fought fiercely, wrote in the letter, and Alvin’s eyebrows furrowed as he read its contents. Christina, who was watching him, asked Alvin what was wrong, and after hearing the story, she proposed that they meet immediately, and it was decided.
After exchanging formal greetings, Alvin began to speak.
”I’ll ask directly since it’s written to hear the details from Ichiro-san, but why do you need Shinji’s power? There are other magic users who have contracts with spirits, aren’t there?”
”No, Shinji-dono is a rare person who has a contract with a spirit and yet doesn’t hold ill feelings towards dragons. Even if we were to invite them to the dragon’s village, it’s likely that anyone other than Shinji-dono would be rejected.”
Alvin’s gaze prompted Shinji to nod in response. As Ichiro said, the dragonmen, a species that cannot make contracts with spirits, have extremely bad compatibility with magic users who can communicate with spirits. In fact, among the adventurers who traveled with Ichiro, Shinji was the only one who could have decent communication with a spirit contractor.
The contracted spirit Freri, being half-succubus and half-spirit, had a weak sense of discomfort towards dragonmen, so her influence on Shinji was virtually 0.
”Why is Shinji okay?”
”I’m not really sure myself. But personally, I think it’s because both dragonmen and spirits respect the Goddess equally. If we think of ourselves as fellow believers, there’s no reason to dislike each other.”
”I think that’s a wonderful idea. If only everyone thought that way…”
(Jin is really devoted to the Goddess… I didn’t know that…)
Christina watched the conversation with a smile, but Alvin, who was the only one aware that Shinji was a messenger of the Goddess, misinterpreted Shinji’s words to mean “He’s not affected because he’s an apostle of the Goddess.” Shinji seemed to be trying to convey a secret message that only he understood, which was easy to misunderstand.
”I’ve realized that it’s no good without Shinji. So, please tell me why the power of a spirit contractor is necessary, Ichiro-san.”
”Yes… However, this matter involves a crucial role in the dragonmen’s village, which is also related to the Goddess. I’d appreciate it if you could keep this confidential.”
Ichiro spoke in a serious tone, and Alvin and the others nodded solemnly to reassure him.
