Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"Is that the settlement of Lamia?"

The Rises were returning from the Wang capital and resuming their work in the town of Dexsi again.

One day, Lys and Lamia rarely accompanied the dragon carriage, which was destined for a certain country.

"I hope it's almost a hit"

"There, are you there?

I give up half my expectations, half Rise, and Lamia is one way or the other.

"Let's just talk about it. Dragon, come down."

"Understood."

At Rise's command, the dragon descended into the woods.

◆

This is the corner of Garsatan's country surrounded by woods.

It was a settlement where the Lamias lived.

But there was now a danger of survival.

"Master Dragon has descended!

Lamia is a half-man, half-serve, reptile-based species.

In other words, it has the same scale as a dragon.

But for the Lamias, dragons were equal to the gods of the living.

Not that the god had a war, not that a catastrophe would happen, but suddenly appeared.

The Lamias panic about God's sudden visit.

"Calm down!

Rin's voice echoes inside.

An amplifying effect using wind magic.

When they heard the voice, Lamia and the others were able to erase the dragon from their consciousness and barely regain peace.

"Everyone calm down. Don't be rude to the dragon. Welcome."

Those who governed the settlement, Lamia and the others under the commandment of the chief, rushed to the place where the dragon landed to greet God.

◆

"This time it's terrible."

Rise looking at the ground in a fed up manner.

In their eyes on the back of the dragon, they saw Lamia and the others bowing their heads just rubbing their foreheads against the dragon to the ground.

"Now, I wonder how we can have a conversation."

In fact, in the Lamian settlements that encountered the dragon, few Lamias responded similarly.

For the reptile species, dragons are so great by now.

Occasionally, there are exceptions.

"Do you want to talk to the head of this settlement first?"

The determined Rises descend from the back of the dragon.

And I called on the Lamias, who lay down their heads.

"Gentlemen, please raise your heads"

When Lamia and the others raised their heads in response to Rise's voice, they were baffled by Rise's sudden appearance.

I wonder why there are humans here.

"I am the one who preaches the word of Lord Dragon. I would like to convey the words from Lord Dragon to the head of this village. Do you have a chief?

It is an explanation reversed by the Lord's obedience, but it can be a lot harder when you know that you are the Lord for a tribe that believes in dragons as God.

Having learned to follow the spirit of the past troubles when entering the country, Rise decided to behave himself as a dragon storyteller.

When Rise looks around, a Lamia rises.

"I am the head of this settlement."

The Lamia looked slightly older than the other Lamias, but it was nevertheless as if the characteristics of the species Lamia or even the years obtained were sublimated to beauty.

"What I'd like to ask the Chief is about this girl."

When Rise turns around and looks at him, his obedience, Lamia, comes forward.

"Huh!? Oh, oh………………."

Lamia and the others have a surprising look.

"Pale scales…… No way………………"

Lamia and the others start making noise on purpose.

"Everyone, calm down! It's in front of the dragon."

"Huh!?"

The chief reprimanded him, and Lamia and the others spoke up.

"Actually, this girl is the Lamia we protected for some reason. We've traveled all over different places to find her hometown, but we still don't have a clue. You seem to know about her pale scales, but don't you know about her homeland?

……

But neither Lamia nor the chief will speak in silence.

You have a dragon in front of you that you worship with God.

"Can't you answer that?

Rise speaks up again to convey the will of the dragon.

"…… I am sorry. That's what we're not allowed to say."

Rise exhales with a sigh inside.

Here's what they always do.

Although I react to the pale scale of Lamia, I did not try to tell you whether it was the Lamian code.

If it were a resident of a settlement that would lay flat so far before the dragon, or so I thought, the code of the species still seemed heavy.

"Is that so?"

"I'm sorry. I'd like to help, but I really can't."

The same answer as before.

As before, it is a hard will to show sympathy for the pale scale Lamia, but still not to cooperate.

Lamia's eyes on Lamia, which Lamia and the others in the settlement refrain from beside Rise, are not for their companions.

I see reluctance in that look.

Some of the old Lamias held hands together to worship Lamia.

After all, my Lamia is a special Lamia among the species.

"Did Dragon-sama keep searching for your daughter's homeland?

"Huh?"

To the chief's words, Rise felt different from his usual conversations in the Lamia settlement.

In previous visits, Lamia and the others have never spoken to the dragon with fear and respect.

"Yeah, I've been over the countries around here, but there's still no harvest. We think we need to aim for a settlement further afield."

The length nodded at Rise's words.

"Let's be. We're not going to be able to answer that question in Lamia, north of here."

"Eh... I took the trouble. Lord Dragon, Lamia, let's go home."

The Rises bowed their heads to the Lamia of the settlement, leaving the Lamia settlement behind.

◆

"There was no harvest this time either."

Lamia looked relieved for some reason when she said she didn't have a clue about her hometown.

No, I'm not.

"What?"

"Did you have something to gain, Lord? It seemed like the same conversation I've been having."

The dragon, who had solemnly pledged to participate in the conversation in order not to confuse the Lamias, finally opens its mouth.

"Length, you said you couldn't answer in our northern Lamia, right? That means if it wasn't for Lamia in the north, maybe someone would tell me."

"As good as it gets."

That's information we haven't heard from Lamia and the others.

In a casual conversation, the director was weaving information about Lamia's hometown.

"But why did Lamia tell me this time? So far Lamia hasn't tried so hard to answer."

"Well, I guess that's because of the dragon. Reptile subhumans and demons pay some respect to dragons. Especially this time the Lamias worshipped you like a god, right? So it must have been painful to just shut up and betray God."

Most of all, Rise feels that the elders have no sympathy for Lamia at all.

(Probably different perceptions of the weight of the stiffness for each settlement)

"Let's stop attacking from near field in the future and try to find a Ramia settlement in a farther country"

……

However, Lamia had a sinking look at Rise, who was in a mood for new information.
