“Tenma! Well done!”

When I returned to the capital after parting ways with the expedition squad, Sir Lyle was waiting at the gate for me. There were guards and gatekeepers waiting in the vicinity as well. I could tell that he wasn’t just directing his words at me, but was speaking intentionally loud enough for everyone around us to hear.

“Tenma, I apologize, but play along with me,” he whispered while patting my shoulder.

“Yes! As per the orders of the Minister of Military Affairs, we discovered an earth dragon, and so I took the opportunity to slay it.”

My words surprised the guards and gatekeepers who were present. Naturally, it was surprising. It wasn’t every day that someone just casually defeated a monster like an earth dragon. Under normal circumstances if you encountered a monster like that, you’d do everything in your power to run away and report its existence. Even successfully escaping would be a story to boast about, and you might even be rewarded just for reporting it. Not only that, but it now looked like he’d had me slay the dragon before word about it had been officially put out. At any rate, regardless of whether one knew the truth of the matter or not, it was a surprising tale.

“You just ‘took the opportunity,’ did you? I’d expect nothing less! Well then, let’s go!”

Sir Lyle led me to the knights’ training grounds. I couldn’t just take the dragon out where we were standing, after all, so we headed to the training grounds, which were pretty spacious and could afford to get a little dirty.

“By the way, Tenma, I’m sorry, but can we continue to say that your visit to the forest was under my orders? Of course, I’ll compensate you for this, and I won’t claim any rights to the materials. Just make sure to say the knights were involved in slaying the beast—on paper, at least.”

Lyle brought up this request once we were inside the carriage, making sure that none of the other guards heard. Apparently, my hunch about the situation had been correct.

“That’s fine. But I’m going to have conditions, you know.”

I told him I wanted five gold coins for all four of us as hush money. In addition, they would purchase the materials we obtained at a price higher than the going market rate.

Regarding the latter, it was decided that the materials the other three had obtained during the hunt would be sold. They were all items that could be used as provisions, and it seemed more cost-effective than buying them from a merchant.

Although Lyle was disappointed about me keeping the earth dragon’s spoils, I still declined to sell them, and said that I would sell some materials from the wyvern variant instead.
