Prologue 1

The open mouth reminded me of a gate to hell.

The flames generated by the internal combustion engine in his stomach spewed out of his mouth to turn the figure in front of me into blackness, turning the surrounding area into a scorching inferno.

The one who breathed out the flames, Kouen no HiryuuFlame Dragon, closed his mouth as if satisfied with what he had done and tried to fly back to the glittering mountain of treasure that awaited him – for the first time since he was born into this world, he saw the “Grim Reaper”.

The grim reaper was in the shape of a person.

A man wearing a rusty longsword with a chipped tip and a ragged grip…… and dark brown robes leaped to a height that was not humanly possible and swung his sword at the dragon.

In a flash- The red dragon’s neck falls, and the man removes the mask that covers his mouth.

“… It was dangerous”

He glanced over to check the time and muttered.

“In three minutes, another party was about to come … Should I give a nod or just say hello when I pass by… I’m not sure, and my heart hurts…. I’m going to take the back route home to avoid seeing each other…….”

The man who is designated as “S rank” by the adventurer’s guild and is a monster who can even defeat a dragon species all by himself – ran vertically down from the sublime mountaintop just because he didn’t want to meet people.

“Unbelievable! Have you already defeated the dragon species “The Red” !?”

The (cute) receptionist in front of me shouted so loud at the moment I reported, and the adventurers sitting in the waiting room of the adventurer’s guild buzzed.

“… Yeah”

To be honest, I want you to stop doing this. My face turns red and I’m just embarrassed and not happy. I want to go home early and read a popular novel in the royal capital. “An S-rank adventurer asked me to marry him”, it’s really interesting. The heroine Amira-chan is really cute.

“A-as expected from S-rank adventurer ‘Yuuri Alchiffon’-sama. I admire you.”

Moreover, the protagonist’s surname is the same as mine, “Alchiffon”!! It feels like fate already!!

“…………”

Eh, admire me, do you mean that you are in love with me? Really? Do you want to go on a date or something? I don’t really have anything to do on my days off, except reading novels. If it’s with the receptionist, I’d love to go on a date with her. Let’s take the courage and invite her. Kidding, that is a lie. Communication disorder doesn’t have the courage to invite girls to date. Too bad, right!

“Yuuri-sama never shows off your achievements, do you?”

With a fascinating expression, the receptionist stares at me, and when I, being gaze phobic, look away, she apologizes, “Ah … I’m sorry …”.

“Yuuri-sama would never accept an invitation to not hurt women like me, right? I understand. I know that this is the kindness of Yuuri-sama, and everything, I totally understand.

That’s why something like to bother you… I would not invite you to dinner. Please do not worry”

No, invite me, please…… I want to have dinner with you, receptionist-san! You are welcomed, you are welcomed! Or rather, why are you misunderstanding? I just looked away because I have scopophobia, not because I don’t accept it or anything!

“So, Yuuri-sama. Up until now, you seemed to have dared to remain solitary due to the fact that there was no party that matched your abilities… Actually, this time, I received a request for a new party application addressed to you, Yuuri-sama “

No, I just couldn’t form a party because I am a communication disorder. The truth is, I was lonely going alone to defeat Natural Disaster BeastMonster. Along the way, I learned to talk to spirits because I didn’t have anyone to talk to.

“… Application?”

“Yes, that’s right. Of course, it’s an S-rank party.

Actually, she’s here now. “

Even with this, I’ve been an adventurer for many years, and I can instantly judge which person is strong and which is weak. From the moment I stepped into this adventurer guild, I knew who the “one” strong person was.

“… Entrance, the table in the corner”

“As expected from Yuuri-sama … Haa, you are so cool …”

I reply to the receptionist who stares at me from a close distance by gently taking a distance. I’m always 10 meters away from the reception counter because my personal space is extremely large.

“I-I’m sorry. So, Yuuri-sama. I think that person is just a small fish compared to you, but why don’t you give her an interview once? It came with a certificate from a person in Royal Capital,” Place her in the same party with Yuuri Alchiffon. “

“……Okay”

Alright, let’s go home!

Interview? That’s impossible! I feel nauseous just by looking at them from the front, and I can’t talk to someone face-to-face! I’ll die! To get fired up at home is my wish that indestructible, Un.

“A, Ano“

The moment she called out to me from behind, I turned into a swift breeze and took her back – I didn’t want to make eye contact with her from the front.

“S-so fast … I, I couldn’t see him… this is “Yuuri Alchiffon”… the man who is perfect in every way…!”

No, my communication skills are at the bottom.

“……What?”

I basically only talk to the receptionist-san, so my voice is scratchy and dull. I guess the girl behind me took this as a sign that I was in a “bad mood”, so she gave me the most respectful bow and shouted in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry. (TN: He talks with her back to back, not face to face)

“I-I’m very sorry for my rudeness!! M-my name is Fior Eurasian, the second daughter of the Eurasian family! T-today, I am honored to meet the rumored Yuuri Alchiffon-sama, whom I rarely see!! “

I’m trying my best to avoid people. Then, I am treated like a rare monster, un.

“A, ano, Yuuri-sama”

Hold on. I’m taking a deep breath right now. Because of all the attention, I’m getting, my mouth is drying up, and I’m afraid I’m going to have trouble speaking. After all, first impressions are important, and as a kind senior adventurer, I’d like to say, “Yaa, hello! I am Yuuri Alchiffon! Nice to meet you!” Let’s make a casual greeting like this.

“… A, ano“

Alright, let’s do this! Let’s greet her!! Oh, no!! I’m sweating like crazy!! It’s hard!! It’s hard to face people!!

” I-I see … I understand!”

The girl in the back whispered slowly.

“So now is not the time to talk to Yuuri-sama yet … I understand, I’ll come back… I’ll definitely be back …!”

I slowly turn my body to show my back to Fior as he tries to walk past me.

This is how a communication disorder sends someone off. (TN: He just showed his back all the time)

I heard the door of the Adventurer’s Guild open and close, and I was finally able to look normally.

“… Let’s go home”

If I ever saw her again, I would face her and talk to her properly.
