19 Chapter 18: Aftermat(End)
After our day off, we were called in by the prime minister.
"Hello there heroes."
"It's nice to see you again Angelica."
Angelica the prime minister, called not only my party but the rest of the heroes as well.
"I have come to give the 2nd world <quest>."
The other heroes are murmuring to themselves, and it came to my attention that the teacher is gone.
"Umm, can we not participate in this world <quest>."
[Some <gods> are disgusted with the cowardice of the other heroes]
Angelica spoke in a condescending tone.
"I was not talking to you. I was talking to the real ones who have completed the 1st world <quest>."
"Then why did you call us here for?!"
The crowd glared at my party and Angelica released a terrifying aura.
"I will talk to all of you later, and if the real heroes fail this one, then you people can step up in their place."
The crowd then stepped back as they fear the anger of Angelica. I then spoke up to break the silence.
"Okay Angelica what is the 2nd world <quest>?"
"Glad you ask."
The other heroes didn't like it when we started ignoring them.
"Here it is, I shall briefly explain it for the other heroes."
[World <Quest>] The Azure Dragon
Description: kill the Azure Dragon before it starts wrecking havoc in all of Terra.
Difficulty: Legend
Time limit: 1 month
Reward: a personal item owned by the supporter.
Failure: death to quarter of humanity.
My party froze for a minute as it was their first time seeing a 'Legend' difficulty.
"Now then, Rai and co you can go now I will explain to these heroes what I gave you."
I nodded and started heading out. Messages began pouring from the party message system.
Chieko: are you sure we can handle this?
Kayda: well I'll follow my savior wherever he goes!
Ryoto: I will also follow you Akamine-sama.
Midori spoke up and the messages stopped pouring in.
"Look if anyone is afraid you could back out now we will not force anyone of to fight."
Yuki laughed and he replied to Midori's suggestion.
"We already went this far, and we also need to keep an eye on our tactician now, don't we?"
"Yes brother is right and I'm pretty confident that we can beat that dragon. Since we already have 2 members who have beaten one."
The party looked at me then Zei, we previously have acquired a dragon slayer title. Then Zei looked back and said.
"All dragons are not the same, and we just got lucky last time."
I turned back and stopped walking to face the party and I reassured them.
"Don't worry I also have acquired a dragon gem, so we're pretty much in an advantage fighting against them."
"Oh! so that's why you smell like dragon."
I nodded and started walking down the hall again. Ryoto asked me.
"Well, what do we do now Akamine-sama?"
Yuki then replied instead of me, as he pushed up the bridge of his glasses.
"Well we should start preparing and focus on getting stronger, and we do have a 1 month time frame before the <quest> fails."
As we were heading back to our rooms, a maid was shouting my name in the halls.
"Sir. Rai! young master Griff is looking for you."
"Ah, oh yeah, it's my turn today, well then I'll see you guys later."
I separated from the group and followed the maid. And soon reached a lavishly styled door, the maid knocked on the door and said.
"Young master Griff, Sir. Rai is here."
"Yay! Oh I mean let him in."
I let out a giggle and the maid opened the door. Griff was sitting on a chair not suited for his size and said.
"Hello Rai, and you may go maid."
The maid bowed and went on her way, I entered the room and closed the door.
"So how's it going Griff."
Griff had a determined expression and then he went down from his chair and went to a drawer.
"I've been doing well, but now I'll beat you!"
Griff pulled out a chessboard.
"Well if you can."
10 games later.
"How did I lose 10 times in a row?! I've been practicing with Master Zei!"
[The <god> '???' Is applauding your 10 victories in which you have cheated]
[The <god> 'Chieftain of the Guardian Angels' is saying that you should've gone easy on him]
[The <god> 'Wisewoman of Olympus' is calling you a cheater]
[Some <gods> are criticizing you]
Well in truth I did kinda cheat, but when you fight a person who have the same skill and using that said skill, you should also use a trick up your sleeve.
Griff was grumbling and then shouted at me.
"You cheater!"
"You call me a cheater when you're the one who's been activating [Hyper Decision Making]."
Griff flinched and I said.
"Anyways what level is it?"
"5... it's level 5 last time but now it's level 6, how about yours?"
"Level 17."
Griff's mouth dropped open and said it again.
"You cheater!"
"Anyways let's just forget about that."
Griff began arranging the chessboard again. He then said.
"I demand a rematch, but this time without using any skills."
"Well, well, I agree to your demand."
As we were playing.
***
Zei was inside a library reading books.
"There aren't much information about the 'Azure Dragon', in fact there aren't any."
Zei kept reading books about dragons, but there were none about the 'Azure Dragon'.
Zei scratched her head and tried to look for more books, then she saw Yuki also reading.
"Hey, Yuki, have you found anything about 'Azure Dragon' yet?"
"Ah, hello there Fumatsu, to answer your question. I haven't yet, even my supporter knows nothing about it."
Zei became rather confused about it, his supporter the Archangel Michael knows nothing of the 'Azure Dragon'.
"How about your supporter Fumatsu?"
Zei answered in a disappointed tone .
"He doesn't talk much, and he'll most likely not give me any information on such thing."
Zei sighed as she put back the book she was reading. Yuki closed his book and said.
"Ah is that so, anyways what's your relationship with Rai?"
"What makes you ask that?"
Yuki put back the book he was reading onto the shelf and said.
"Well you're the one who's been with him the most, ever since we've got here."
Zei thought about it, and it's true, that she's been with Rai ever since coming there, there was also Midori, but got taken by Yuki and Chieko's party. Zei answered.
"Well you see, Rai was my very first friend."
Zei smiled sweetly, as she remembers those times they spent in the rooftop, talking with each other and sometimes arguing about the theories of scientists.
Yuki then spoke as he saw a smile that is pure.
"Well at least I learned something new."
"What is it? Yuki."
"That even you could make a smile like that, in this world."
Zei turned back and said.
"Anyways Yuki, you should help me find some information."
"Yes, yes, I'm on it."
Yuki felt relieved, because ever since coming into Terra, they're always tense about finishing the quests, killing monsters, and worrying about gold, but now Zei managed to help him feel a bit more relived.

I won 8 out off 10 times and I was about to leave the room when Griff asked.
"Do you think I can handle ruling this kingdom?"
I smirked and I said.
"Well we'll know once you start ruling it, anyways see ya next time Griff."
I left the room and I looked outside the castle window, outside I could see the buildings being rebuilt, it was a surprise to see that this kingdom didn't go through depression.
"Admiring the view, <Judge>"
"Yes, I'am."
Angelica went beside me and looked outside. I spoke while both of us are admiring the view of the kingdom and the setting sun.
"Tell me Angelica, do we get to return after finishing the world <quest>."
Angelica looked at me and she replied.
"Well You would need to finish 3 world <quests> in order to do so."
I sighed in relief as it was possible for us to go back. Then Angelica said.
"So <Judge> when are you going to depart?"
"2 weeks from now, we still need to get ready and all."
"Ah I see, well I'll be off then, I still have a lot of work to do."
I waved goodbye and looked back at the view again. At that point when we finish it and get to go back what will happen to the people here.
