A lot of people were gathering at the plaza at noon that day. People from the streets also gathered. It was because of an announcement that will be proclaimed before the opening of the festival.
A huge object of around 30 meters was place on the center of a platform. It was covered with cloth and what was inside couldn't be seen, yet everyone was aware as to what that is. It was easy to conclude, because the Lord's army is surrounding it.「Everyone. Thank you for gathering today」
A man started his speech on a small platform set up in front of the covered object. It was the administrator of this city, Lord Carlos Dabble Cotoise. At the same time as the opening speech, the soldiers gathered on the edges of the cloth and grasped it.
「It was a Grand Scale event, Yes... and many sacrifices and mysterious events have overlapped, that's why it was decided that a Grand Presentation will also be held. Everything is because of the request of subjugating a Red Dragon. Every adventurer probably would ask why, why was there no rank designation, why didn't I judge it wrong. I know, I take full responsibility of that. All I can say is sorry... I was a fool who sent the future of this town, the younger generations into their annihilation」
The adventurers were puzzled. It is unexpected that nobility would apologize to his people. Certainly, they have thought they were foolish people being blinded by the rewards, and as they fought they hated the lord as to how impossible that battle was. However, it is supposed to be at the persons own self-accountability and self-responsibility.
「And as to why such a thing happened, At first it was supposed to be a request handled by all the towns surrounding area. But after some time I was ordered by a royal decree stating that Haval should be the only one to handle it. I didn't really know why the king announce such a decree so I sent an ambassador to the royal capital to verify things for me if it was really the truth or not」
After that I came out. I have never shown myself in a big crowd like this since that concert on Fairy Town. What the difference would be is that the eyes of adventurers looking at me were criticizing looks. On the other hand the merchant and town citizens were murmuring 「Goddess of White Waters...」 that seems to have already been ingrained.
And right before I knew it I was already being introduced. It was Drew-san who gave a speech this time. Hey, I was telling you not to decide things without my confirmation. You should have told me in advance...
「The person here is Aidle who have been doing requests alone in this town when adventurers were absent and... ... ... ... She is also the one who defeated this monster!!!」
At that announcement the soldiers removed all the cover at once, and the figure was exposed to the people. From the adventurer's side, I could hear some people screaming. It is after all a monster that symbolized their imminent death.
「Red Dragon... ... ... ...」
It was a word that was muttered by someone. And to those who cannot forget that figure.
「Yes, this was the reason of all the suffering. This person alone subjugated it! Let me say it again... The name of this person is Aidle. The only S Rank Adventurer and renowned Hero of this town」
「「「「... ... ...」」」」
Since everyone was silent, Dabble-san sends me an eye signal. Ra-ise-up-your-hand? Why in Morse code though? Or maybe it is a similar concept that exists in this world? Well, I got it. I rise up my hand to my upmost limit.
「「「「Ooooohhhhhh!!!」」」」
A great amount of cheers came from the audience. The voices of the merchants were exceptionally loud. Oh, I can also see Arena jumping at the back going 「Wooooah」. Sorry La Veil if you can't keep her down...
