Saving the Princess

　--After finishing the second day of collecting at the mine, Artoo headed home.

　On the second day, he was able to get many more items and his backpack was full.

　Of course, he got a lot of magic stones as proof that he had defeated monsters, so the reward would be bouncy.

　Artoo went down the mountain in high spirits.

　--But then, just like that.

　Suddenly, a shout rang out in the supposedly quiet mountain.

What is it?

　Arto hurriedly ran in the direction of the voice.

　And then he found it.

A dragon!

　It was five times the length of a man.

　Its paws alone seemed to weigh more than a human.

　In the dragon's line of sight, there was a girl and a fallen man.

　The girl was beautifully dressed, and the man was wearing armor.

　The girl looks like a noblewoman, and the man looks like her bodyguard.

　--But the guards are now falling down.

　The girl was being stared at by a huge dragon, and was now in dire straits.

　Artoo ran out as quickly as he could.

I'm not sure what to do.

　He activated Auto Magic and slammed an oversized fireball into the dragon.

I'm not sure what to do.

　The dragon groans.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　And then he struck the attack magic in succession.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　And for good measure.

And then, for good measure, "Fireball 16!　--＜Ice Needle 16 activated!

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

　I'm not sure what to say.

　This is a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

　It's not something that you can manage by yourself.

　However, thanks to the efforts of the fallen knight, I was able to defeat it.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

　--It's not that he was damaged, but that he was paralyzed.

"Um, a potion to cure paralysis: ....

　Artoo took the potion out of his bag and used it on the man.

　As soon as he did, the man regained his freedom.

Oh, thank you so much!

　A girl called out to him from the side.

　When Artoo looked at her, he saw an incredibly beautiful girl standing there.

"...!!!

　Her long silver hair showed that she was special.

　Combined with her elegant attire, she was truly a dainty and beautiful girl.

"... Ha! I'm so sorry!

　The man stood up, looked at the girl and bowed his head.　

　The man stood up, looked at the girl and bowed his head, apparently apologizing for not being able to fulfill his role as an escort.

'No, don't worry about it. It's really fortunate that this person was able to help us.

　The girl took Artoo's hand and looked him straight in the eyes.

Thank you so much for saving us.

"No, no, ....

　I'm Charlotte," he replied, sluggishly.

My name is Charlotte. I'm Charlotte and I hope you don't mind.

Oh, I'm Alto. ...

I'm Artoo. You saved my life. You saved my life. I must repay you.

No, no. ...

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sorry, Alto. I'm sorry, Artoo. I have to hurry back to the city now. But I will definitely repay you later. So, can you tell me which guild you belong to?

"Well, I'm not in a guild at the moment. I'm working as a freelancer.

Then, the quest referral guild that you always use is ...?

　Artoo said the name of the guild where he always got his work done.

I understand. I will definitely come back to thank you later!　I promise.

"Oh, thank you very much.

　Charlotte and her escort stood up.

So let's get out of here as quickly as possible.

Oh, ..., I don't mean to be rude, but do you need a ride into town?

No, I'm fine. I was taken by surprise earlier, but I'm fine now. I'm sure there are no more enemies in the vicinity.

　The man said, and the girl nodded in agreement.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Alto-san. We'll definitely see you later!

　And with that, the two of them left the place.

　--Alto stared at their backs as they stormed off.

　†.

　After they left Artoo, the man from the guard spoke to Charlotte.

"Princess...

What is it?

I wonder who that boy is. Who is that boy? I didn't expect him to slay a dragon so easily.

Anyway, all I know is that he's no ordinary person.

　--Princess," Charlotte replied.

The only thing I know is that it is people like him that the Order needs right now.

I'm sorry, Princess. The only thing I know is that we need people like him in the Order right now." "I'm sorry, Princess, I put your life in danger because of my incompetence.

No. It never occurred to me that one of my knights would betray me.

　The man had not lost a fair fight against the dragon.

　It's not that they're not good at what they do, it's that they've been betrayed and taken by surprise by a knight they thought was one of their own.

In any case, you have to have a powerful and trustworthy knight on your side. That's exactly what Alto-san is.

"That's right, Princess.
