When I returned to the Adventurer’s Guild, I explained the situation of the Adventurer’s Guild to Serena-san:

Serena was heading to Rubelup volcano after receiving a quest to subdue the Fire Dragon, and the guild was worried that she might have started to fight Fafnir.

The situation was caused because Fafnir was spotted.

If Fafnir isn’t there the situation will calm down

That’s why Serena is going to report that she didn’t find any fire dragon or Fafnir.

Of course, it is impossible to believe only Serena’s testimony, so investigation should be possible, but without the Fafnir there it should not be a problem.

That’s why I asked Serena to return to the Adventurer’s Guild first.

Serena said she wanted to thank me for my help later, so she’s joining me for dinner.

It seems that she will treat me to a meal.

When I was at my parents’ house, I had had nothing to be grateful for, so I was very happy with this kindness.

And Fafnir, who became my servant recently, is flying around me.

When I came back to Rubelup, I feel the gazes from the surrounding people.

As I learned from the book, taming monsters itself has a profession called Tamer, so there should be no prejudice.

There are even magic tools for making servant contracts.

When I was walking in the town, there were other people with servants besides me.

Maybe the reason people are still staring at me is that it’s rare to have a small dragon as a servant.

Ah, I have to buy a collar for Fafnir.

I should buy it as soon as possible as the collar will if a monster is tamed or not.

I stopped by an accessory shop on my way to the Adventurer’s Guild.

And I bought a collar for a servant for 10 silver coins.

It was a little expensive, but Fafnir with a white-collar looks great.

[Umu. A small body is not bad either.]

“I’m glad you like it”

[It’s pretty interesting. My world is expanding as my body gets smaller.]

“Haha, surely I can’t put you into a building in your previous size.”

[Um. It’s fun to get in touch with human culture this way.]

“Yes Yes. I really understand that feeling. “

[Oh, really!?]

It looks like I’m going to get along with Fafnir very much.

“Fafnir, thank you for being a servant.”

“Mu? I would like to thank you as well. Thank you for making me a servant. “

While saying that, I arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.

The reception for the Adventurer’s Guild has already ended.

It seems that there is no choice but to register as an adventurer tomorrow.

The inside of the guild is turned into a tavern.

The adventurers are making a lot of noise.

As I looked around, I found Serena-san.

She leaned against the wall and beckoned me.

“Thank you for your hard work”

“Yeah. Thank you for your hard work as well. For the time being, let’s move somewhere else.”

“Move? Where are we going?”

“My house”

“I see, it’s certainly hard to talk about today’s events in public.”

“That’s it. Let’s go.”

“Okay”

I left the Adventurer’s Guild and walked through the streets of Rubelup.

Rubelup was a fairly large city with many buildings lined up.

After walking for a while, the surrounding buildings became all private houses.

Is this area the residential area?

“We’ve arrived”

Serena’s house was an ordinary one-story wooden building that was no different from the surrounding private houses.

“Please, come in”

“Excuse me”

There seemed to be two rooms in the house.

Serena immediately went to the kitchen.

“Sit in that chair and wait a moment. I’ll make something now.”

With that said, Serena started cooking.

[Hmmmm, is this the place where humans live?]

“Don’t poke your head into too many places”

[Is that so?]

“You wouldn’t want someone to see your personal areas right?”

[I see, that’s right.]

While I was talking to Fafnir like that,

“Noah is amazing. You can use such powerful magic and talk to monsters.”

Serena talked to me.

“It’s not amazing. I wonder if the environment in which I grew up has an effect on magic and monsters.”

“An environment where you grew up. It must be tough growing up. In a normal person’s life, they wouldn’t be able to acquire that much power.”

“That’s right … I just read books though.”

“Books!? Those don’t make you be able to use magic like that!”

“Well, it wasn’t just a book. I can use magic just by reading it … It’s a spellbook.”

“I’ve never heard of it … are you really telling the truth?”

“It’s no wonder you’ve never heard of it. It’s one of the lost techniques ──an ancient magicc spellbook. “

“Ancient magic”

Serena muttered so.

It’s hard to believe.

It was the first time for me to talk about ancient magic.

I hid that I could use ancient magic at my parents’ house.

Maybe my dad wouldn’t have kicked me out of the house if he knew I could use ancient magic.

But I wanted it to be recognized somewhere else, regardless of magic or anything like that.

“Hmm, Noah is interesting after all. If you could, please tell me more about ancient magic.”

“I’ll gladly tell you.”

“Thank you. I’m glad. Wait a minute, I’ll cook for you.”

With that said, Serena-san proceeded with cooking skillfully.

“Here you go, sorry for the wait”

The finished dish is beef steak and onion soup.

It has a nice smell to it.

She also served Fafnir too.

I told her that Fafnir was herbivorous, so there were some leafy vegetables on the plate.

I ate it right away.

Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and carry it into my mouth.

The gravy overflows in my mouth and is very delicious.

“Is it to your taste?”

“It tastes very good!”

“I’m glad”

Serena smiled happily.

“Then let’s talk about ancient magic.”

“Yeah. I’d love to hear from you. But before that, you don’t have to be so polite when you talk to me, it’s also ok to not add san to the end of my name. “

“I understand. Thank you for your concern.”

“Well, I don’t care about that. I just wanted Noah to talk comfortably!”

[It seems that this girl is a little too honest, unlike Noah.]

“Haha, that’s right.”

Seeing me talking to Fafnir, Serena had a sullen look on her face.

“Well, what the hell are you guys talking about?”

“Fafnir said that Serena is upfront about her feelings.”

“That’s not the case! I’m just an honest person!”

“Haha, that’s right.”

[Umu. A kind girl. I like her]

Fafnir seemed impressed.

“Enough…”

Serena corrected her posture and started eating her own food.

Come to think of it, I haven’t talked to anyone like this since I was five. years old.

I felt very happy.
