Chapter 27: Even I Have Fond Memories... to the Scum

Right now, I'm at the Lord's mansion.

"It's been a long time, Ceres-dono... You are really great that you keep defeating dragon species. You are indeed a 'Dragon Slayer.'"

Being a member of the hero party is very convenient.

Although I'm only an adventurer of S rank, I can meet a nobleman without requesting a formal appointment.

The Lord of this territory, Gamelda, is a Count.

He is above the ordinary commoners... and normally, the villagers can only meet him through the village head. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Of course, I didn't want to embarrass the village head, so I asked the village head, Najim, to write a letter for me.

If I did not make a good face, the village head would not like me.

This is the reality of village society.

If I neglect small things like this, there will be a big payback someday.

In a sense, envy is scarier than a demon king.

"Thank you. I've come today to bring this..."

I took out a few water-dragon scales from my bag.

When I hunt a dragon, I take some scales out.

The value of the purchase price does not decrease by removing a few scales.

However, the scales of a beautiful dragon species fetch a pretty high price. They are coveted by the nobleman as furnishings.

"Are those... the scales of a water dragon? And five of them...? Can you sell it for 100 gold coins?"

"No, this is a gift... an offering for Gamelda-sama... and I don't need money. Furthermore, these are the scales from the base of the neck of the first dragon I killed... a gift I had planned to give to the great Gamelda-sama one day. "

By emphasizing 'the first dragon I killed,' the value of this scale is further enhanced.

Incidentally, I gave one to the village head and one to each of the village elders.

"I can't take such a valuable thing for free. And I don't remember doing anything for Ceres-dono."

"No, Gamelda-sama, you have done something for Jimna village... I was an orphan and have lived alone in that village since I was little... But the villagers raised me kindly, and I became a good person like right now... because this is what Gamelda-sama's reign has done for us. If I had been born in another territory, I would have been a slave... And Najim, the Village head, says I can become my present because of Gamelda-sama's kindness... "

The truth is the village head did not say that.

But now... if the Lord summons the village head... he will be pleased.

This kind of talk will lead to a better life later on.

"Najim told you that, huh...? And what brings you here today? I assume you're not here just to make small talk."

"Well, please give my regards to Gamelda-sama."

"I understand."

After saying the word to the servant, I took Sector and went to the village.

* * *

Sector followed me silently without speaking.

"You sold Shizuko-san... But at that time, you still had the money... why would you do that... even if you were going to sell her, it would have been me who would have been first... "

"Surely, when Ceres was still a kid, you made such a promise... that you liked Shizuko... but at that time, I don't care about it... because you are just a brat... However, I didn't think you still liked her until now... And I was wrong that I sold her... I'm sorry."

Gambling and drinking corrupt people.

Even more, he's just a farmer who got rich, so he goes crazy... that's what I think.

He's just a man who got a lot of money but couldn't afford it and ruined himself.

I remember in my previous life, there was a fool who lost his money and sent his family into prostitution.

"By a stroke of fate, I bought Shizuko-san and made her my wife."

"I see..."

"And my real feeling is that I hate you so much I'd like to kill you... but it seems I'm not only a mother-con and a baba-con... but also a father-con and a Jiji-con..."

"No way... you're not taking me as a..."

"Of course not... you idiot... what you did was scum... but the old you was different. You treated me the same way you treated your own son Zect."

"I still remember that..."

"And Shizuko-san got mad at you for making me, and Zect drinks alcohol."

"Ah..."

"Since I owe you that favor, I'll help you this time, Uncle Sector..."

"You... still call me that?"

"Yeah... but it won't be the second time..."

"I won't be a stupid again, I promise!"

He may be a scum... but I owe him a debt of gratitude, a memory...

And I felt sad when I thought about this guy dying in the mine.

But how am I going to explain this to Shizuko...
