In Another World with My Smartphone (異世界はスマートフォンとともに。)

The four of them alone defeated a dragon,

and now they're casting healing magic on every resident...

I'm shocked beyond surprise.

On top of that, they're donating all the dragon's usable parts,

which could go for over 10 gold apiece, to the village's recovery.

They're magnanimous. I bow my head to them.

Just who are these people?

Who knows? Certainly not me.

Chapter 7:

Nation of Beastmen, and an Observer

I'm the village elder, Solum.

We're very grateful to you for defeating the dragon that attacked our village

and making such a generous contribution

to the village's restoration.

No, it was only the right thing to do.

What's this?

One of the fangs harvested from that dragon.

Please, take it for yourself.

Huh? But...

I hear you damaged your weapon.

You could use this fang as material to create a new weapon,

or sell it to buy a brand new one.

In that case, I'll gratefully accept.

It's surprisingly light.

Also, I'd like to return this.

Huh?

It was stuck in the dragon's eye.

I believe it belongs to you?

This was that...

Kohaku, was anyone there that night, aside from us?

Yes.

I believe I sensed someone within the grove of trees.

Likely two.

I thought they were villagers at the time.

So this is the Royal Capital of Mismede, Berge.

Your Royal Highness, I, Olga Strand,

have returned from the Kingdom of Belfast.

Yes, good work.

Garen and knights of Belfast,

I am pleased that you protected Olga and delivered her safely.

Yes, sir!

You are the envoys sent by the King of Belfast, yes?

I hear you defeated a dragon that attacked Eld Village on your travels.

Is this true?

Yes, that is correct.

These four dispatched the black dragon that attacked the village.

And you?

My apologies for the delay.

I am the daughter

of Tristwyn Urnes Belfast, King of Belfast Kingdom,

Yumina Urnea Belfast.

Heavens! What brings the princess of Belfast to my kingdom?

An alliance with Mismede is that important to us.

Here is a letter penned by my father.

Please read it for yourself.

I see.

I'll think on the matter and give a response in the near future.

Until then, please enjoy yourselves in my palace.

A brave warrior who defeated a dragon, eh?

It's been ages since my blood roiled so.

How about it, young Touya?

Care to spar with me?

Huh?

I've never seen arms like that.

Sir Touya,

when His Majesty, King of Beastmen, sees someone strong, he cannot resist facing them.

Frankly, we're troubled by it, too.

Okay...

Go ahead and give him a good thrashing!

Give him all you've got!

No, no, no, no! He's your king, guys!

The match will continue until one is put in a position to receive a fatal wound,

or your opponent admits defeat.

Use of magic is allowed.

However, use of offensive magic that directly targets your opponent is prohibited.

Are both opponents ready?

Don't hold back!

Think of this as a real battle, and use all means available to you to try and defeat me!

Sure...

Now, begin!

Slip!

There, that's the match.

H-H-Hold on!

What was that?!

One of my Null Magic spells, Slip.

He said it was all right to use anything but offensive magic.

No, no, no!

That doesn't even allow a match to happen!

One more time! Without that spell this time!

That spell's off limits!

Got it.

Begin!

King Jamukha has the advantage in hand-to-hand.

But with magic allowed...

Obstructing Dust Storm: Blind Sand!

Too slow!

Multiple!

So that spell was a bluff.

Yes.

Well done, Touya-dono.

Boost!

Accel!

Oh? You managed to dodge that?

Well done, Touya.

So fast!

What was that?

Null Magic?

Was that a Null Magic spell?

Yes. It's my Null Magic, Accel.

What kind of spell is it?

Oh, it's a spell to increase one's agility.

It guzzles my mana, though, so I can't keep it active constantly.

I see.

That's a nice spell you have there.

Right?

So allow me to use it with gratitude.

Accel!

Did you just...

It's surprisingly hard to control, isn't it?

But I won't miss next time.

Accel!

Accel!

What on earth is going on?

I can't see them.

You're not too bad!

But I have more strength!

That's true.

So I'll challenge you with speed.

Accel, Boost!

Accel!

Checkmate.

I don't understand the meaning of that word, but it seems I've lost.

Winner: Mochizuki Touya!

To think he'd cast Null Magic spells on top of each other.

I can't believe you can use Accel, too!

Looks like I got a bit full of myself.

I'll have to take a lesson from this.

I guess...

This, and this...

Sir Touya, you look good in that outfit.

Thanks.

By the way, um, do you know where Lady Olga is?

I haven't seen her...

This is looking good.

Touya, that looks good on you.

I wouldn't be surprised if people thought you a Mismede noble.

You think so?

You do look good, Touya. It's lovely.

Yeah. I'd say it's perfect.

It brings out a different charm in you.

You look sharp in it, Touya-dono.

You all look good, too.

Oh, mind if I take a picture?

What was that?

Sorry, this is one my Null Magic spells, too.

It allows me to record an image of a scene and save it.

Oh! A spell that can paint a picture in an instant?

Can you take it out, too?

I can, so long as I have paper or something to transfer it to.

Drawing.

This is amazing!

Touya, could you paint me, as well?

Sure.

Cute, cute, cute, buff.

Cute, cute, cute, buff.

Whew, I'm beat.

Huh?

Me?

What's this?

You've brought a strange guest with you, Paula.

So, who might you be?

Oh, I'm Touya.

Mochizuki Touya.

Touya's my first name.

I see. The rumored dragon slayer, then?

Dragon slayer?

Well, it's true...
