I’m a humiliated, incompetent person, but I alone can talk to dragons, so I can choose all the SSS skills and loophole items I want to. I’m going to become famous and respected, so, to the people who humiliated me – Go die in a ditch - Chapter 25

One day in the evening, I was in the living room of my house.

 

I was confronted by a man.

 

We were both seated on the sofa, facing each other across the table.

 

The man has a strange presence about him.

 

He seemed to be on the lookout for something, and his expression was rather strained.

 

I wonder what it is…

 

“Um, well, my name is Cyril LaRose.”

 

“I’ll just introduce myself as Six…” the man said.

 

I’ll just introduce myself, huh…

 

And the name Six, it really sounds like a pseudonym.

 

I wonder if there’s a particular reason for this.

 

“So, what does this Six have to do with me?”

 

I raised my tone and acted slightly vigorously.

 

“Cyril Larose, I have a job for you that requires your talents,” said Six.

 

“… What kind of job?” I said.

 

“Transport of a certain package I have,” he said.

 

“Transporting a package?”

 

I tilted my head.

 

There are various jobs offered to a dragon knight, within them, transporting packages is one of the easier types.

 

 Too easy to the point, they’re rarely offered directly to dragon knight guilds or an individual dragon knight, but directly to the government’s office. 

 

Delivering the letters for Katrina is the same type for instance. 

 

It’s strange that such a job is offered to me with such a hint of a reason.

 

“That’s right, it’s package delivery. I’ll pay you 30,000 reals for your success,” Six said.

 

“30,000?”

 

Even though I was ready for the unexpected, I was still surprised. 

 

30,000 reals.

 

The average amount of money a normal man in his 20’s can make in a month is said to be 1000 reals.

 

30,000 is the equivalent of two and a half years of that.

 

That’s a lot of money.

 

This was the moment I knew for sure that I wasn’t in my right mind.

 

“What the hell are we carrying?” I asked.

 

“I can’t tell you that,” Six said.

 

“You can’t tell me?”

 

“I need you to deliver the package and take it straight to its destination,” 

 

“You don’t want me to pry into what’s inside…”

 

Six did not answer.

 

He kept staring at me in silence.

 

So that’s what you’re saying.

 

I thought about it.

 

I’m not sure what to make of it, but I’m curious, not to mention it smells dangerous.

 

The request was so “out of the ordinary” that I was curious about it.

 

Now, what should I do?

 

“Gwahahahaha. I! HAVE COME!”

 

“What?”

 

Chris appeared outside the window.

 

As usual, he appeared out of nowhere.

 

I had gotten used to it, but Six, who had never encountered it before, froze when he saw Chris.

 

“Are you okay?” I asked.

 

“……”

 

“I guess he’s just overwhelmed by the greatness of me, no wonder,” Chris proudly said.

 

“overwhelmed? Is that supposed to happen?” I asked.

 

“For an ordinary human. Yes.”

 

Chris laughed and laughed loudly again.

 

“Well don’t you have something more interesting to talk about than that,” Chris said.

 

‘Yeah, well.”

 

If you say so, I guess it’s interesting.

 

I know it’s dangerous, but I’m starting to get interested in it.

 

It’s an unusual story.

 

Then I glanced at Six.

 

He was still in shock, speechless.

 

“It sounds interesting, but I don’t know what’s the real deal,” I said.

 

“All right, then, I’ll find out,” Chris said.

 

“Find out how?”

 

“kuhahahaha. It is impossible to conceal anything from the great me.”

 

“Oh.”

 

I don’t think that’s true. I thought that from Chris, who I usually deal with.

 

“I see you have doubts in your eyes,” Chris said.

 

“I mean…”

 

“Very well, I’ll show you.”

 

Chris said, and glared at Six.

 

“You human, what you’re hiding from my true friend. Tell us everything you know now!”

 

“Aaah!”

 

When Chris glared at him, Six’s body shook, and he slid off the sofa and slumped to the floor. Not only that, but a stain has formed between his legs and steam is rising.

 

It was as if he had incontinent.

 

“Hey, hey, what did you do?” I asked Chris.

 

“I just put a little pressure on him. Under my dignity, ordinary people would be incontinent, and those with weak hearts would die instantly.”

 

“What?”

 

“Kuhahahaha the fact that you don’t even bulge at me, it is time for you to realize the size of your caliber, my true friend.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

 

“No, that’s not what I’m saying.”

 

This is getting too far off the subject.

 

“Anyways my true friend, try to ask him now. He will answer you truthfully. If I glare at him anymore, his heart might really stop. That would be the end of the matter.”

 

“Ah, yes,” I said.

 

I once again turned to Six and asked him.

 

“What’s the deal with the 30,000 reals or so reward for just a package?” I asked Six.

 

“Dra, Dragon Tear Balm,” Six answered.

 

“Dragon Tear Balm?”

 

I tilted my head.

 

I had never heard that word before.

 

” Well, there you go.”

 

“You know it, Chris?”

 

“Mhm.”

 

Chris nodded broadly through the window.

 

“As the name suggests, it’s a kind of a fragrance. The scent it gives off when it’s set on fire and it has a hypnotic effect. What was it again? …… Right, it helps you to dream your preferred dreams, I believe.”

 

“preferred dreams?” I asked.

 

“yes. Have you ever been able to do whatever you wanted in a dream?”

 

“Well, once in a while.”

 

I gave a small nod.

 

Very occasionally, you become aware in a dream that it’s a dream. 

 

After the realization, you often have free control over how the dream unfolds. This could happen sometimes when you sleep normally, but more often times when you go back to sleep.

 

“Does that mean I’ll be able to do that?”

 

“That’s exactly what I mean. For humans, it’s a dream item that allows you to hallucinate freely and safely. And since it’s only a dream, it won’t have any physical effect on the body, except for aching your back from sleeping too much,” Chris answered. 

 

“Haha…”

 

I laughed bitterly.

 

Sleeping too much and hurting your back.

 

It happens sometimes.

 

Sleeping is supposed to be a way to rest the body, but sometimes it turns out that sleeping too much causes back pain.

 

I chuckled at that.

 

I now understand about the Dragon Tear Balm.

 

I thought it was a dreamlike item.

 

If you could really control your dreams at will, I’m sure many people would want to use it.

 

Everyone has one or two dreams that they have given up on as unattainable–some people have about a dozen.

 

If you can see them freely, even if it’s only in a dream, it’s such a wonderful item.

 

“I see, so that’s why,” Chris said.

 

“What?” I said.

 

“That Dragon Tear Balm was once designated as a contraband by the human king.”

 

“contraband item huh,” I said.

 

“So, your request to my true friend is to smuggle in a contraband item,” Chris said.

 

I was startled and turned to Six.

 

I’m not sure what to do.

 

“Is that so?” I asked Six.

 

” Ah, yeah…”

 

Six nodded dutifully, frightened of Chris.

 

“Is that why …… no, wait,” I paused for a moment.

 

“Hmm?” Chris looks at me.

 

“How did it become contraband? It has no negative effects except for the fact that it causes back injuries from sleeping too much.”

 

“The humans overdosed on it,” Chris replied.

 

“Yeah, well, …… it is such an item.”

 

“It’s not harmful to the people who use it, but people often use it to have whore dreams. true friend of mine, you know what I’m talking about right?”

 

“… No comment on that.”

 

I didn’t play along.

 

I know what he is thinking, but it’s something I don’t want to admit to myself.

 

“As a result of the drowning, many people have stopped making babies in real life,” Chris said.

 

“Mmm…”

 

“So, for a time, the number of children born dropped dramatically.”

 

“How much less?” I asked.

 

“Humans need to have at least two children per couple, or the population will decline.”

 

“Yea.”

 

I nodded at Chris’s ‘assumption’.

 

For each person, that is, two children per couple. If you think about it, you can understand that if we don’t have that many children on average, the population will decrease.

 

The question is, how much is it actually decreasing?

 

“The number of children per couple was about 0.7 that time.”

 

“What?”

 

that much?

 

“When that’s the case, no more children will be born in the future, and the country will be ruined… That’s why Dragon Tear Balm’s became a contraband.”

 

“well…… I guess you’re right.”

 

“Though I believe it’s a shame to make it contraband because there are people who are in need of it,” Chris said.

 

“Who needs it? What kind of people?”

 

“An old man who lost his wife for many years.”

 

Chris put it simply.

 

It’s probably just one of the 100 examples out there.

 

“… ah.”

 

I thought about it for a minute, and then I was convinced.

 

It is… yes, necessary.

 

If the efficacy of the dragon tears balm is true, the “old man who lost his wife for many years” can meet his dead wife in a dream without bothering anyone.

 

That is……. a necessity. 

 

It may be a problem for those in power, but there are definitely people who need it.

 

If that’s the case…

 

I turned to Six, who was still intimidated by Chris, and said, 

 

“I will accept your job offer.”

 

‘Ha-ha-ha, that’s my true friend. I’d like to show that decision to the incompetent powers that be.”

 

Chris was in a good mood at my decision.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
