Fist King: I Will Save the Earth from Zero in Another Reincarnation, Starting from Real World

Conquering the Sea of Trees at Mt. Fuji ⑥ Green Dragon Subjugation Battle (Mao's Perspective)

After Kazuya knocked the Green Dragon to the ground, he continued to fight it for a while, using his staff and magic to confirm the Green Dragon's massive body.

"It's strange to even be fighting a Green Dragon in the Sea of Trees in the first place."

Normal guns are ineffective against Green Dragons, so large-caliber guns capable of firing armor-piercing rounds are necessary, and it's difficult to bring such guns into this Sea of Trees. Therefore, if you encounter a Green Dragon in the Sea of Trees, you have no means of countering it, so you must immediately use a Return Stone, or you will be killed.

I still think that's normal. However, Kazuya, who was fighting in front of me, looked delighted as he challenged the battle.

"He wants to fight the Green Dragon even if it means making some ridiculous bet, doesn't he...?"

Kazuya seemed to have made up his mind about something and started running towards the Green Dragon. The Green Dragon began to swing its tail as if to intercept Kazuya. Kazuya jumped to dodge the tail, then started hitting the Green Dragon's leg with his staff.

"Could I ever face a Green Dragon like that...?"

I think Kazuya is amazing for bravely challenging a monster far larger than himself. As if disliking Kazuya's attacks, the Green Dragon flapped its wings backward, trying to gain distance. While the Green Dragon was flapping, Kazuya pointed his staff at it.

"Fire Arrow!"

When Kazuya chanted the magic, seven arrows pierced the Green Dragon's abdomen. When the magic hit, the Green Dragon fell to the ground and immediately took a stance to use its breath attack. The Green Dragon's neck rose, about to unleash its breath. Kazuya, for some reason, ran straight towards the Green Dragon, which was about to use its breath.

"What is he trying to do?! If he gets hit, he'll die!"

I didn't understand what Kazuya was trying to do and thought he might get hit by the breath and die.

"Kazuya! Dodge it!"

My thoughts didn't reach him, and the Green Dragon swung its neck down to hit Kazuya with its breath. Kazuya didn't stop, leaping onto the Green Dragon with the same momentum.

"It's going to hit!"

Just as I thought that, Kazuya swung his staff up and struck the Green Dragon's face as it was swinging down. The moment the staff hit the Green Dragon's chin, the breath that was about to exit its mouth exploded without leaving its mouth. Kazuya was blown away by the blast, and the Green Dragon collapsed to the ground, spewing black smoke from its mouth.

Kazuya and the Green Dragon stood up almost simultaneously. The Green Dragon dragged its feet, walking away from Kazuya, and tried to flap its wings. Kazuya wouldn't allow it and chased after the Green Dragon. Before the Green Dragon could lift its body and take flight, Kazuya pointed his staff at it.

"Lightning Bolt!"

Kazuya's magic hit the Green Dragon's wing, and the Green Dragon crashed to the ground as if slammed down. Furthermore, Kazuya thrust his staff into the mouth of the fallen Green Dragon.

"Lightning Bolt!"

When Kazuya chanted the magic, the Green Dragon convulsed, shaking its body. Kazuya continued to chant magic until the Green Dragon stopped moving. When Kazuya stopped his magic, the Green Dragon became completely still, and white smoke rose from all over its body. After confirming it was no longer moving, Kazuya pulled the staff out of the Green Dragon's mouth and approached me. Then, he spoke to me with a smile.

"Mao-san, starting today, please refer to yourself as 'watashi,' okay?"

"Was that bet for real...?"

"Of course."

"Alright... I'll try my best."

The way Kazuya spoke to me was like a completely different person from when he was fighting the Green Dragon. That appearance made me lose any desire to be angry, and I ended up making a promise I didn't want to.

I slowly approached the Green Dragon and confirmed that Kazuya had subjugated it. And now, I had to move.

"Kazuya, listen carefully. I need you to return with the Green Dragon in one hour."

"In one hour? What are you going to do, Mao-san?"

"I'll return first and prepare to receive the Green Dragon."

"Understood. And please try to use 'watashi' as much as possible."

I told Kazuya I understood, then cut off a part of the Green Dragon's wing and returned to the Adventurers Guild with a cart. Upon returning to the Guild, I first deposited the contents of the cart at the material collection area behind the Guild. After depositing all the materials, I then ran to the Adventurers Guild reception.

"Only 45 minutes left... Haru-chan, please be there!"

When I arrived at the reception while checking the clock, Haru-chan was there.

"Haru-chan! Let me see the Guild Master immediately!"

"What's wrong all of a sudden!?"

Haru-chan seemed surprised by my sudden arrival. However, I didn't have time to explain the reason in detail here.

"Haru-chan! I'm in a hurry, please!"

"The Guild Master is with a client right now..."

"Then, please give this to the Guild Master right away."

I handed a part of the Green Dragon to Haru-chan and looked into her eyes.

"Is this really that serious?"

"It's so serious I can't even explain it here."

Haru-chan looked at me and nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"Alright. I'll go give it to the Guild Master right away."

"Thank you. I'm counting on you!"

Soon after, the Guild Master, holding the part of the Green Dragon, came to me with a changed expression. I checked the time, and Kazuya would be back in 30 minutes.

"Ōta, where did you get this!?"

"Kazuya defeated it in the Sea of Trees just now. I told him to return in 30 minutes."

"30 minutes, huh..."

The Guild Master also checked the time, then crossed his arms, deep in thought. A man in a black suit came from behind the Guild Master, and the Guild Master began to consult with him. Then, the man in the suit made a suggestion to the Guild Master.

"Let's close this Adventurers Guild immediately and isolate it."

"Yes, let's start immediately."

The Guild Master gave instructions to the Adventurers Guild staff, and the entire Guild was isolated so it couldn't be seen from the outside. In addition, people were driven out of the Guild to ensure no one other than staff was inside, so I was also sent outside the Guild.

"Why did it come to this...?"

The situation had exceeded my expectations, and I was confused. I was about to go home for the day when I received a message from Haru-chan asking to hang out tomorrow.

"It's unusual to get a message from Haru-chan to hang out."

I replied to Haru-chan that it was fine. Haru-chan works overnight at the Adventurers Guild, so I decided to stay at a nearby hotel today.

On my way to the hotel, I checked the clock and prayed that Kazuya would return with the Green Dragon on time.
