The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 63. Revealing Strategy

63. Revealing Strategy

The adventurers, now recovered enough to move, cautiously approach the Earth Dragon, buzzing with excitement.

“Wow…””Its shell is split wide open. How could this even happen?””And why am I still alive?””How should I know? I want to know too…”

As the adventurers marvel at the Earth Dragon, the leader, who was also gazing at the creature, turns around with an apologetic frown.

“I’m sorry, Matsunaga-san, for doubting you… And it’s embarrassing for us, the guards, to be rescued like this. How should I apologize…”

“No, no, please don’t worry about it. I just happened to defeat it.”

“What are you talking about? It’s not something you can just do by chance…”

The leader, with a look of disbelief, gazes at the Earth Dragon again. But it really was just a stroke of luck.

Anyway, my time-space magic worked well with it.

If it had been a fire-breathing dragon, I would have died without being able to do anything. The interdimensional wall is a collection of small dimensions, so there are gaps, and it can’t block air or heat.

So when the leader apologizes so earnestly, I feel a bit awkward.

By the way, Isezaki-san is proudly puffing her chest, which could be considered smug.

So while I’m trying to calm down the leader who keeps apologizing –

“Wow! Matsunaga-san, amazing!”

Running up with a shout is Geeta. Cyril is beside him, looking worriedly at him.

When Geeta collapsed, he was in a particularly bad state, and I thought he might even be too late, but now he seems to be in perfect health.

He rushes to my side at full speed, pointing excitedly at the Earth Dragon with a bright red face.

“This was done by Matsunaga-san!? Amazing! Seriously amazing! Hey, how on earth did you do it!?”

Geeta speaks to me eagerly. Although he had a mature side for his age, he now has a childish sparkle in his eyes, which is a bit heartwarming.

“Ah, well, that’s -”

Just as I was about to say that, the leader sighed and spoke up.

“What are you saying, Geeta? There’s no way he’s going to tell you that so easily. Besides, prying into someone’s secrets goes against the code of honor among adventurers. You should know that much, right?”

Is that how it is? I glance at Isezaki-san, who also nods slightly. Well, it’s true that it’s better not to know too much about someone’s secrets.

Geeta scratches his head awkwardly at the leader’s words.

“Oh… right, I forgot about that. Sorry, Matsunaga-san. I got a bit too excited. Forget about it.”

“Yeah, don’t worry about it.”

I reply casually.

Then Geeta, with a wry smile, rotates his arms to check his body.

“Anyway, I was supposed to be on the brink of death, but my body doesn’t hurt anywhere, and none of the others seem to have any injuries either. I guess one more mysterious thing won’t bother me now.”

Certainly, I haven’t explained that yet. Well… I wasn’t planning to explain it from the start.

At that moment, Holly, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

“I believe this mission will likely impose a duty of confidentiality. It’s best for you to know as little as possible.”

Hearing those words, the leader looked at the distant carriage with a face like he had just bitten into a bitter bug.

“Yeah, you’re probably right about that…”

Come to think of it, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to think about it, but was this attack a coincidence, or was it inevitable?

Of course, we anticipated that hiring guards might attract thieves. However, even so, the strength of the thieves was abnormal.

Would someone who can summon an Earth Dragon send such stingy thieves? It seems more likely that they were gathered to target Lady Levia from the beginning, and to definitely bury her.

As everyone silently stares at the carriage, the door opens slowly. Then, with the help of a knight, Lady Levia descends from the carriage.
