Early next morning, our group set out for the Avering gates.
It was so early that the mist hasn’t yet disappeared from under the morning dawn.
Naturally, we already had our breakfast.
“Alright, it’s time to leave for Doran,”
“I really want to stay here a little longer but I guess there’s no way around it. So let’s go,” [7] sighed Elland-san.
I can’t believe this guy… [5]
“One of the reasons we have to return to Doran is for the dismantling of the Red Dragon,” I said.
“Ooh! That’s right! What a fun thing to look forward to~~ Ufufufu, to think I’m able to go dungeon diving with Dora-chan and take a Red Dragon apart back in Doran~~ Life is great!”
Is that so? [2] Well, Elland-san is not a bad person but his enthusiasm for dragons tires me out sometimes. I suddenly thought of Ugor-san and felt sorry for the hardship he has to go through…
Once the Red Dragon is dismantled, let’s leave Doran as soon as possible.
“It’s so nice to travel with Mukouda-san. Coming here from the Royal Capital to meet with you was the best thing I ever did.” [3] Elland-san sounded very earnest.
I don’t know what to say to this but I do hope he doesn’t spread this nonsense around. [1] I don’t need Ugor-san getting mad at me too.
Speaking of which, I checked my status this morning and found the following:
[Name] Mukouda (Tsuyoshi Mukouda) [Age] 27 [Race] Mostly Human [Job] Guy Caught up in a Summoning Spell Adventurer Cook [Level] 62 [Physical strength] 405 [Magic power] 391 [Attack power] 382 [Defence] 379 [Agility] 324 [Skills] Appraisal | Item Box | Fire Magic | Earth Magic | Double XP Points Earned |Absolute Defence | Contract Beast [Contracted Beast} Fenrir | Huge Slime | Pixie Dragon [Unique Skills] Net Supermarket
{Tenants} Fujiya | Tanaka’s Liquor Shop
[Blessings] Blessing of the Wind Goddess, Ninrir (small) Blessing of the Fire Goddess, Agni (small) Blessing of the Earth goddess, Kishar (small) Blessing of the God of Creation, Demiurgos (small)
Up until recently, I don’t have [Race] in my status.
It must have appeared thanks to Demiurgos-sama’s blessing. [1] However, I’m not sure what’s up with the ‘Mostly’?
Is Demiurgos blessing so strong that it actually affects the race of a being?
I guess… since my lifespan has been increased by 1500 years, [1] I’m pretty sure that disqualifies me as an ordinary human.
I’ll need to talk to Fer and the rest about this but I guess there’s no point worrying about it for now.
Time to head for Doran.

“Oh, I can see the City of Doran. I’m glad we got here before nightfall,”
“How could we arrive so fast…?” [3] Elland-san said regretfully.
“Alright, let’s head over to the city quickly and straight to the Adventurer’s Guild,” where Ugor-san would be waiting for you, I’m sure.
“Sui-chan is just too amazing. It took us less than half the usual time to get here,” Elland-san sighed. “Well, I say Sui-chan but everyone here is very amazing too.”
You’re right.
Everyone is too amazing.
It’s thanks to them that I am now registered as an S Ranker who’s able to go on all these ridiculous adventures without a shred of worry.
Sui’s growth is especially spectacular though. [5] With Sui using her Gigantify to carry Elland-san on her back and me with Fer as usual, we got here on record time.
“Delicious food, speedy and comfortable ride as well as cosy sleeping arrangements, this has to be the best trip I’ve ever been on. I wish it would go on and on…”
Elland-san’s dreamy voice was interrupted by Dora-chan’s angry telepathy, ““I’m never travelling with this guy again!””
[5] Considering how Elland-san tried to ingratiate himself to Dora-chan at every opportunity, I could understand his feelings.Elland-san had been warned off many times. At first, he would say he understood but the next thing I knew, he’s chasing after Dora-chan again… [5]
““We will be separating soon, so just hang on a little longer,”” I soothed.
““Tch! I guess it can’t be helped. Anyway, I want turtle meat today!””
Yes, yes, we shall have the much desired Soft-shelled Turtle Hotpot tonight.
“Shall we, Elland-san?”
“Sure,”
We got past the long line by virtue of Elland-san being the Guild Master of this City.
[8] Anyway, I don’t think people would try to stop a ‘Mostly Human’ riding on top of a giant wolf creature and an Elf cruising elegantly on a giant slime.The gatekeeper was shocked by our appearance but quickly let us in when he recognised Elland-san.
Now that we’ve gotten past that barrier, it’s time to head towards the Adventurer’s Guild.

Gumihou will love to hear from you ~
I am suddenly REALLY looking forward to someone other than Fer using appraisal on Mukouda after seeing his current stats lol
I do wonder how someone can elegantly cruise in a giant slime, though I do agree that if someone can do that it’d be an elf.
I mean, how does giantified Sui even moves? Does she roll? Does she pounces? If so, how high? 🤔
Does she sprouts multiple little slime legs like that chest from Disc World?
I think she… undulates?
Thanks for the treat.
I’m not sure just how Elland is seen by regular people, and nobles (basically those that don’t know the dragon crazy part). Maybe this city will soon get a huge slime hunting/capture craze. Well, crazy imagination aside, they finally got a chance to send the crazy elf back home.
Thanks for the first chapter this week! Awesome translation! May God bless you!
