Chapter 6.5
Clamor clamor
The Lint Bloom Order have gathered at a certain bar.
There’s a reason for that.
「Hey Kio.」
「What is it? Leader.」
「I think you have something to say to the members.」
「… Is it about my skill?」
「Yeah, your skill.」
I have only told the Leader about my skill.
Even though I looked as if I was going to die from a slime, I was able to slay a dragon, so I can’t hide any longer.
「If the members know about your skill, then they can protect you.」
「”Protect me…” you say.」
「Yeah, that’s right. If we know your skills, then we can prioritize protecting you who can’t fight from the the monsters that aren’t edible. 」
「We won’t only protect you. If we encounter a difficult monster like a dragon, you can protect us.」
「Isn’t it a problem when people who don’t know anything almost get killed? If they know you’re skill, then they’ll have some peace of mind and stop to think. It’s your choice whether or not you want to tell them.」
I see. If they knew about my skill, then they could protect me and I could protect them from edible monsters.
「However, teaching them about my skill is dangerous.」
「I don’t think any of the members would, but there’s a high chance that bad guys who know about your skill will use you.」
Even so, I
「I’ll leave it to you. Please tell everyone about my skill.」
「I got it. I’ll round up everyone.」
After a short time, after confirming that mostly everyone had gathered, the leader said,
「Ah, not everyone could come here, but I want to say something to all of you.」
「What is it?」,
asked one person.
「Well, it’s about Kio.」
「Kio?」
「Ah, actually, Kio has a situation which probably makes him the strongest in the world.」
「Kio, the strongest? What kind of joke is that, Leader?」
「Kio has a certain skill.」
「If it’s a skill, I also have one. Strength Enhancement」
I heard many other ‘Me too’s.
「No, Kio doesn’t have that kind of skill. It’s called Absolute Cooking(絶対料理).」
「What the heck is that, never heard of that.」
「The effect of this skill makes him invincible against all ingredients.」
「Invincible against all ingredients? Do you not get it? It includes ingredients and monsters. That’s why he can hunt down dragons.」
「Dragons!?」
「That’s impossible!」
「Well, if we just say it, there would be no point. We’re going to show Kio’s skill by doing some dragon extermination.」
「Ehh!?」
Normally, this is a death sentence. Normally.
Even so, everyone followed Leader all the way to the dragon’s den even if they didn’t believe it because of their trust in Leader.
「GUGYAHHH!!!」
「HII!」
Currently, there is a gigantic dragon in front of us.
「Kio, I’m counting on you.」
「Yes.」
I walked leisurely towards the dragon.
「W- Wait! Kio!」
A member tried to stop me.
「Hey! Don’t stop Kio! Trust him!」*
*TL: Gosh the bromance is stong.
Leader stopped him.
「GAAH!」
Immediately, the dragon let out a breath of fire that hit me.
「See, look! Kio’s dead!」
The breath disappeared and I was standing there unharmed. For some reason, my clothes also were unharmed.
「Look! Kio’s okay!」
「Yes, I’m fine.」
I turned around and jumped onto the dragon.
Slash! My sword cut down his neck.
「The d-dragon… in one hit!」
「Even though he was hit by its breath, he’s fine…」
「Everyone, get it? This is Kio’s skill. Before you knew it, you guys were ate things like dragon and cockatrice meat. 」
「So that’s what happened.」
「But this skill isn’t perfect. As you can see, he can defeat monsters that are edible like dragons. However, Kio is powerless against inedible monsters. So, I want you guys to protect him. And when strong edible monsters appear, I want you guys to relax and trust your backs to Kio.」
「This is why we gathered today.」
The silence continued on for a while.
And then one person exclaimed,
「A- AMAZINGG!!」
「To be able to defeat a dragon is way too cool!」
Everyone also said,
「Ah, it really is amazing.」
「Can a cook even be this strong?」
No, it isn’t that a cook is really strong, but Kio is special.
「Kio Version 2! Nice to meet ya!」
「Ah, when a dragon appears, I’m counting on you!」
「And in return, no matter how many goblins, we’ll beat them up for you!」
「If it’s goblins, even kids can defeat them!」
「No, I can’t beat goblins.」
「Are you kidding me?」
「Mm, it’s true. Recently, I was beaten up senseless by goblins.」
「I- I can’t believe it.」
Everyone wasn’t scared of me, and treated me as usual.
That made me really happy.
I was actually very scared of telling them about my skill.
I won’t have to avoid people when talking about skills.
I mean, I defeated a dragon, right? The dragon, which is strongest in the world. If it was me, I wouldn’t get close to someone with such fearsome power.
So, I truly am happy.
