Law of Heaven

I hear there are dragons on this island. Naturally, we shall go on a hunting trip. Now prepare yourselves, mongrels.

O-Of course. But my King, some regions revere dragons as gods, so wouldn't we be cursed or suffer divine punishment for troubling what could be a local deity?

It won't work, Mash. Saying that kind of stuff will only get him more pumped up.

Hmph, it seems Fujimaru is starting to understand.

Indeed, those who would dare cower themselves before the gods shall be punished my hands.

Indeed it is! Fine reply, Fujimaru! It seems your heart is starting to understand the joys of battle!

？！

This is not good, Doctor. Senpai and the Golden King are suddenly on the same wavelength!

Yeah. Talk about unexpected.

I'm not sure if it's because Fujimaru can get along with everyone, or Gilgamesh is just more reasonable than we believed.

Either way, both of them are in perfect sync. Even if it's just a momentary miracle!

Hah hah hah. I only came here to while away the time, but it actually looks like things are starting to get entertaining! Fujimaru, prepare yourself for a grand adventure!

GuyyyyyyyoooOOOOO!

And of course there would be a monster waiting! Senpai, this is starting to feel like a stereotypical pattern!

Foolish girl, we are going to hunt down dragons! Then it is only natural to encounter monsters in a forest...

...or perhaps monsters in a cave, or even more powerful monsters in the depth of that cave!

And that is what makes any adventure a tale worth telling for! Do not be mistaken about that!

We finally made it through the forest, and now we're facing a labyrinth? ...Master, I'm sure you understand by now...

...Mah.

Interesting, golems constructed using the language of dragons is quite a rare sight. It seems there is a knowledgable one amongst the dragons fallen here.

Those are powerful golems standing in our way. We have no choice but to defeat them. Right, Master?

？！

I don't have time for that! I shouldn't worry because both Senpai and the King are by my side, but fighting golems made by dragons is scary!

Welcome, and how are you today? This is my magical workshop, Vortak's Dragonbones.

An underground labyrinth was slated to undergo construction to lure some unlucky humans in so I can slaughter them and take their money but...

...We're actually still a month away from our grand opening, but your timing couldn't be more perfect: I was just looking for some helpers.

Therefore, as much as I want to let you go, I guess I can't really do that. Especially now you found out about my grand plan.

Get roasted by my breath and succumb to your fate. I'd like you well-done and working a 60-hour week as my bone-cushion.

...I didn't have my hopes up, but this is just terrible.

If King Gilgamesh is involved, either we get something really scary or really weird!

Hahahaha, your praise is music to my ears, Mash! But even I am at a loss for words!

I came searching for a dragon so I may test my Master's worth, but to think I would find such an idiot here!

Fujimaru, accept this as your fate. Minds that think alike attracts each other.

It seems your lot in life is to have idiots as your worthy opponents.

？！

I hate to interrupt when you're having fun. Despite that dragon's behavior, that thing there is the real deal!

It has more magical energy than an A-rank Servant! It might be even more powerful than Fafnir!

No way! It looks like it has such a dreadful brain though!

My brain is not dreadful. My thoughts are dreadful. Nay, evil!

It costs you nothing to enter, but everything to leave! I'll suck your bones dry and throw you away like a pile of trash!

Guaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhh! To be defeated even before my grand opening...

It can't be... Are you the Counter Force that will eliminate any threat to the world before it occursThe Seventh Guardian!?

...The battle is over... Who knew that idiot of a dragon would be so powerful... It really was the worst...

Whoa... Not only that, this guy is dirt poor!

Dragons are generally known for hoarding treasure, but this one's lair is as empty as its skull!

There's nothing good about this dragon!

Is that true!? I cannot believe my eyes... His treasury is completely empty...

It must have wasted everything on trying to build its labyrinth...

Couldn't even scrounge up some treasure to leave at the finish line, the worthless fool...

Well, our goal here was never this labyrinth to begin with...

That's right. My King, you said earlier you wanted to test Senpai's worth...

Is that just you being considerate? So that Senpai can be acknowledged as a proper Master?

Fool, do not utter such nonsense.

A proper Master? The day this boy becomes a proper Master, this world shall no doubt be saved already.

I simply came here to sharpen the edge of my treasured sword, Ea. I was sure Ea would end up in a good mood if it faced a dragon.

However... Hm... Fujimaru, you have done well for a mongrel.

Our enemy was the worst this time, but I shall find you worthy prey next time.

Accept that as the proof of your own growth. You have become a mage worthy of hunting the most exquisite prey.

？！

Hmph, it was but a trivial matter. No need to thank me. Now then, it's time to go; I have no more use for this miserable place.

My King, wait! ...He went on ahead. Was he trying to hide his own embarrassment?

I don't think so. He might just be bored of us. Ultimately, that man has no concept of embarrassment or sympathy.

...Either way, there's no doubt he has acknowledged us.

I was a little nervous and unsure of what's going to happen when he formed a contract with us... But his arrogance and self-righteousness is rather reliable now.

Fooou!
