The undead were torn to pieces, so much that no original form remained. A jet-black staff fell on a horrific plain where corpses lay in pile.
“Bahamut, thanks for your hard work.”
『Master…… Did I do my best……? For Master’s sake I……』
“Yes, you did your best. I can’t believe you completely wiped out all those undead. Bahamut is really great.”
『Fuwaaa…… Master…… I love you so much…….』
“I know. Now, go take a good rest. Good night….”
『Yes, Master…… good night……』
I put Bahamut into subspace as he went into dormant mode.
“Good, now it will be quiet for a while.”
『…… Master is also a thoughtless man huh. 』
While listening to Lindwurm’s muffled voice, I decided to return to the city. On the way, the guards stood stunned on the ramparts.
“H-hey, just what happened……?”
“Just when I thought the horde of undead will attack us, a terrifying dragon appeared….…”
“H-hey, look! Look at the sky!”
Perhaps because the demon died, the effect of his magic wore off. The darkness cleared and the original blue sky returned. When I returned to the square in front of the Adventurer’s Guild, I saw that the battle is still underway.
However, it is almost settled.
“Fana-oneechan, Anje-oneechan, I’m back.”
“Master, welcome back.”
“Hey, is this perhaps because of you?”
Anje pointed to the crumbling skeletons. At this moment, the undead can hardly move.
“Im-impossible…… that person…… the supply of power…… how could…… lose?”
“This skeleton is?”
“The Wight King, formerly Mordea.”
“It seems that he became the Wight King through the power of the mastermind behind this. No matter how many attacks we made on him, he would revive in an instant, but suddenly, he stopped doing so.”
That’s probably because I defeated the demon.
“Did the master do it?”
“I don’t know who that person is, but yeah, I probably did it.”
“I see.”
“……You-, it is your doing again……!? …..Just how much…. interference…… will make you feel at ease……!?”
“You may say so, but it’s never my fault….”
Resentment erupts from Mordea in a form of mist. If I left it alone, it would revive on its own, so I decided to send it to the afterlife.
“Holy Ray”
“Gyaaaaaaa!?”
Mordea completely disappears. Seeing that, Zebra roared, “Damn it!”
“Mordea, you got purified so quickly…… ugu!”
“You’ve caused a lot of trouble. This is the end for you.”
The guild leader declared his end.
“Shit! I won’t die just yet!”
“Do you want to escape?”
Catching up with Zebra, who turned his back and tried to escape, the guild leader beheaded him.
“Reus, purify.”
“Eh? Ah-, y-yes. Holy Ray.”
“Shit! Shit! Shit! Damn iiiiiiiiiit…….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh……”
Like Mordea, Zebra also vanished.
“Alright, let’s talk about it in detail, Reus.”
“Yes. Uhm, well, I was heading out of the city and a mysterious black dragon flew right in and single-handedly wiped out the hordes of undead.”
“…… Do you recognize that dragon?”
“Ahahaha, there’s no way that would be the case, right? Of course, I don’t know that red dragon. Once it defeated the mastermind demon, it just went away.”
“Then the mastermind this time was a demon?”
“Probably. It transformed into some kind of giant undead. The dragon ate it so I don’t think you can find its remains. But I’ve seen it with my own eyes so I’m sure of it.”
“I see. Then, in the end, Reus haven’t done anything this time huh.”
“Yes, yes. You are right. I just went out of town, hahaha.”
This is what I decided to say. I claimed that it was all the work of a mysterious dragon and pinned the result to it. I think it’s a perfect strategy, but maybe something will be misunderstood….
As I was just a little anxious,
“I see. I understand. There are indeed eyewitness testimonies about a dragon, so that is probably the case.”
Good, apparently, he believed me.
『……Master, do you really think you have deceived them? 』

After seeing the baby leave the room, Guild Leader Ark asks the opinion of Gain and Emily, the A-rank adventurers who were present.
“What do you two think?”
“It’s definitely a lie.”
“Yes, that’s a lie.”
“……Well, I guess so too.”
The opinion of the three people were completely unanimous.
