Feasting and Adventurer Stories 2
Liria still wants to become an adventurer.
If Liria becomes an adventurer, you'll realize how boring those activities truly are.
Even so, I want Liria to experience adventuring with Silvia-unnie.
As promised before, let's go together.
Yes, Silvia-unnie.
Liria had watched isekai novels and fantasy stories in her previous life, so when she learned she could use magic, she had always dreamed of becoming an adventurer.
Even after discovering her exceptional talent for magic, she had never left the Eleas forest because she hadn't come of age yet.
Now that she had come of age and received permission from Elia—with the condition of bringing Silvia along—they planned to depart this weekend.
“What rank adventurer are you, Silvia-nim?”
“I'm a 9-star. Other hatchlings are too lazy to take quests, so I don't get many. By taking all the quests myself, I became a 9-star.”
After reaching 8-star and clearing an 8-star designated quest from the guild, I eventually became a 9-star adventurer.
Silvia is a naturally kind silver dragon, so she couldn't refuse human designated quests.
If she didn't accept them, countless lives would be lost, and she had no choice but to take them on.
Of course, she could earn a substantial quest fee for it, but if Silvia had set her mind to hunting purely for money, she could have earned even more.
As a silver dragon, Silvia accepted designated quests to help humans because of her kind heart.
“What kind of quest was it for 8-star or higher?”
“There was one where we had to catch a wyvern pack. I remember there were about a hundred of them. Since they fly, they were a bit troublesome in human form.”
“Fighting so many wyverns would be troublesome, wouldn't it?”
“They all refused to fight and scattered while fleeing, making it hard to chase them. The leader wyvern ran even faster.”
“What? We didn't fight?”
Silvia recalled her wyvern hunt from that time.
When only humans were visible, they would charge at humans, but the moment her true form appeared, they fled with their tails between their legs.
If the number had been small, it could have been resolved quickly, but with nearly a hundred wyverns, it was quite troublesome.
Instead of charging to the death, they scattered. The wyverns had no choice but to feel instinctive fear toward the top species—dragons.
“When hunting, you're always the one chasing the monsters. So it takes more time. I thought they would charge when there were about a hundred, but they ran away.”
“The monsters probably feel instinctively that Silvia-nim is extremely strong.”
“No matter how much I hide my aura, when combat starts, they flee with their tails between their legs. I wanted to have a thrilling battle.”
“If it's Silvia-nim, no monster would last even 1 second, right?”
“If it's one, yes. But if they charge, I can play with them. Recently, monsters have too much fear.”
Silvia was fed up with seeing monsters flee the moment they spotted her.
Weak monsters fainted even after taking weak fear, and the stronger ones just ran the second they saw her.
She had never once seriously fought as an adventurer.
It was only because humans suffered massive damage from monsters that she took the quests.
“Silvia-nim was acting as an adventurer for the sake of humans.”
“At first, I started as an adventurer at grandfather's recommendation, but once I realized how weak humans are, I couldn't help them. The reason I keep doing it even though it's not fun is because adventurers are boring.”
“Silvia-nim is just as I expected.”
“So now I only take quests of 8-star or higher. Up to 7-star is enough with human strength. If it's really urgent, I'll take 7-star too.”
Liria learned why Silvia was adventuring in the human world, and was extremely proud of her.
Is there such a kind dragon in the world?
“Silvia-unnie is kind to everyone except villains.”
“Has Silvia-nim ever caught thieves?”
“Of course. It was an 8-star quest, and it was a huge thief gang. It ended with one fear.”
Silvia had used strong fear to defeat the thief gang.
Of course, if she used breath, it could be cleared in 5 seconds, but she didn't want to kill humans with her own hands, so she made them faint with fear.
The lieutenant or the boss of the thief gang had some resistance to fear, but upon realizing Silvia's strength, they surrendered.
Since then, many thief gangs have disappeared because the story about Silvia spread, and large thief gangs hid their tracks.
“How strong is fear? It's different from the one used on the pervert earlier, right?”
“The first fear I used was one that affects 2-star monsters, and the next one is one that can affect 1-star monsters. For Earthlings, even 2-star shouldn't be used lightly.”
“I'm curious about what fear is.”
“Then, let me try a little on you.”
“Yes.”
Park Dahye was excited that Silvia would use her fear on her directly, unable to hide her excitement.
The first pervert urinated in fear, but the second wasn't that bad.
Silvia had surely adjusted her strength.
Silvia used the level of fear she used on the second pervert on Park Dahye.
Silvia thought that even the fear used on the first pervert would have no effect on Park Dahye who had gained mana.
Park Dahye realized she had no side effects.
“It has no effect at all?”
“Park Dahye, since you have mana now, weak fear has no effect.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Mana?”
“Dahye. When did you get mana?”
The members who heard that Park Dahye had gained mana were bewildered.
They had definitely heard that humans can't have mana, but how did Park Dahye gain mana?
Na Sujeong and Hong Jihye were very curious.
“That is true.”
Park Dahye told everyone about what happened to her and her sister.
She learned that quite a long time had passed since meeting Liria.
They wanted to buy mana herbs too if possible.
But she didn't want to bother Liria.
“How much is a mana herb?”
“In the human society, they are usually sold at auction. At least 1000 gold coins or so.”
“A thousand?”
“So expensive that we ate it?”
“We can't earn that much even if we work our whole lives.”
Kim Gayoung's group learned that the mana herbs they ate were quite expensive.
If one gold coin is 1 million won, that's at least 10 billion.
But there was one thing they were misunderstanding.
“The auction lowest price, that is, the starting price is 1000. If you can buy it for only 1000, all nobles and large merchants would have mana.”
“The starting price was 1000. I have to work with Liria for the rest of my life to pay it back.”
“I’ll work with Liria for the rest of my life to pay it back too.”
“I knew mana herbs were amazing, but I didn't know it was this much. If I had known, I would have forcibly spat it out.”
Thinking about Liria forcing them to eat the mana herbs, they vowed to be together with Liria for the rest of their lives.
Even for this reason, it would be better if they could stay with Liria forever.
“What does a mana herb look like?”
“This.”
Liria took out the mana herb from her subspace and showed it to Na Sujeong.
Na Sujeong realized she had used magic when the mana herb appeared from Liria's empty hand.
Na Sujeong was amazed by the rainbow-colored mana herb and said.
“The color is extremely gorgeous. It's incredibly mysterious.”
“What was the taste like?”
“It had no taste at all. If it had tasted, I would have spat it out. Moreover, it had no texture and melted in my mouth.”
Liria put the mana herb back into the subspace.
At some point, she planned to give mana herbs to the other members too.
“What do you think the subscribers watching the video being filmed now will think?”
“Was the concept well captured? They will think.”
“It will be like an after story of the fantasy concept cafe, so they will like it.”
“Will there be people who say this video is CG or something?”
Everyone had to think that they had captured the concept well when they first saw Liria.
Could they imagine an elf existing in a world where magic doesn't exist?
They would probably believe it was real only by seeing magic directly.
No matter how much they broadcast it on TV, as long as it's not live, they wouldn't believe.
“Honestly, if I didn't have the ability to protect myself, I never should have revealed my true identity.”
“People who want to use Liria and commit bad things will appear.”
“It's fortunate that both of you have the ability to protect yourselves.”
“Still, you have to be careful always. You never know when something will happen.”
There are too many bizarre villains in the world, so the only thing to believe is good and evil judgment.
Just hearing Selenia's history from Renos and Elia was enough to know it was wars caused by human greed.
Among them, the war where humans invaded Eleas to take mana herbs started with a human surprise attack.
If there was no non-aggression pact, they might have invaded Eleas again.
And humans would have been wiped out by dragons.
No matter how silver dragon, if you touch the species they protect, humans won't forgive.
Na Sujeong told Liria and Silvia the history of war in Earth.
Liria knew the content but listened.
