The Lazy Swordmaster Chapter 52
ain?
Same thing again?
If someone called G.o.d really did exist, and this being was standing in front of Riley, he would have asked if there was something wrong with the G.o.d’s eyes.
“…Ha…”
Having heard the answer, Riley let out hollow laughter and crossed his arms as if he was daring her to continue explaining.
“According to the divine message, the reason you were chosen is…”
Priesia carefully continued, and Riley, with his eyes narrowed, glared at her as if he was going to pierce a hole through her lips.
‘Go ahead. Why don’t you tell me again to go kill a demon lord. Go right ahead.’
If, just like how it went in his past life, a pretty-faced priestess looked at him and said, ‘This world will be in a great danger soon, so please defeat the demon lord,’ in that case, even if she was a priestess or whatever…
“…”
…Riley was thinking he was going to turn everything upside down. As he was thinking such things, he repeated the motion of closing and opening his hand.
“What’s the reason?”
Answering Riley’s question, Priesia, who paused for a moment, said with a serious face,
“…It’s because of a dragon.”
“…?”
‘A dragon? It’s not a demon lord, but a dragon?’
Riley asked back,
“…A dragon?”
“Yes. A dragon.”
Based on how things were going, Riley was sure that she was going to ask him to kill a demon lord, but instead, it was a dragon.
“…”
As Riley was not giving any response, Priesia continued first,
“According to the divine message from the G.o.ddess Irenetsa, soon...a dragon will appear and it will bring terrifying disaster not just to Solia, but other cities as well.”
“So?”
Because the story was different from his predictions, Riley chose to postpone taking action. Instead, he asked Priesia.
“According to the G.o.ddess Irenetsa’s words, the one who will defeat that dragon is you, young master.”
“I will?”
“Yes.”
This was definitely similar to a situation he heard in his past life. However, it was somehow funny.
Also…
‘This d.a.m.n piece of work called G.o.d must have absolutely nothing else to do…’
Riley thought that.
‘Just how many cities are in this world, and how many people live in this world? To put it bluntly, for going this far, isn’t this almost at the level of a stalker? By chance, is this a scripted scheme being filmed with hidden cameras?’
Riley thought of all sorts of stuff.
“…Ha…”
Although the being that priestess asked him to kill was changed from a demon lord to a dragon, Riley still couldn’t believe this. Moreover, he was sorely disappointed.
“Excuse me. Lady priestess. Do you think that makes any sense?”
Riley stared at the priestess with a gaze of disbelief. Priesia flinched.
“Do you at least know what kind of person I am?”
“That is…”
Avoiding Riley’s gaze, Priesia fiddled with her fingers.
It appeared that she had no idea.
“The t.i.tle I was given from my own House is Lazy-Sword. Lazy-Sword… In the past, present, and even in the future, I have always been and will be dawdling around without doing anything. Just how is someone like me supposed to kill a dragon?”
If he had a bit of luck, he might be able to kill a dragon just by tricking it with words like how a main character in some fiction would.
