While Lyn was being slammed repeatedly to the ground by the petty dragon.
Winter Snow was witnessing this peculiar scene.
She recognized the guy being slammed to the ground repeatedly by the petty dragon, it was none other than Lyn.
She thought:
‘What the hell… what the hell is going on?’
She arrived on the scene quite a bit later, just in time for her to see Lyn lying on the ground, all charred up.
At first, she didn’t recognize Lyn, but after he was surrounded by white light and healed at a tremendous rate visible to the naked eye, she was able to recognize him immediately.
The question is… Why did Lyn become the target of the dragon?
She was curious about that. Earlier, she was not able to ask FeelingAwesome123 why there was a dragon that appeared in the Collapsed Mining Site, but since they were interrupted by the blast, she wasn’t able to continue asking. Now she knows why.
"To think all of this started ‘cuz of that guy…” She mumbled.
Well anyways, she was partly satisfied as well that the dragon was slamming Lyn, feeling that he deserves that for ignoring her.
‘Hmm, now that I have achieved my goals of coming here though, I guess I should leave now.’ She prepared to quietly leave.
When she was leaving, sounds of flesh being slammed could be heard behind her back as well as screams of agony.
‘...Good luck to you~’ She couldn’t help but wish him good luck.
After that, she left, leaving Lyn behind all alone with himself— and the dragon, and headed towards Melburn Town.
A few minutes later…
She arrived at Melburn Town.
Looking at the walls surrounding the town and the guards heavily guarding it, made her feel that they were preparing for something.
“Stop! State your identity!”
A guard stopped her.
She summoned her inventory and grabbed an identification card issued from the Adventurer’s guild and showed it to the guard.
The guard looked at it for a moment and said, “You may pass.”
After that, she put it back in her inventory and entered the town.
“Ahhh~ It’s good to be back~” Winter Snow inhaled the fresh air and exhaled a sigh of relief.
She looked around the town for a moment and saw someone familiar.
“Ah! FeelingAwesome123!” She called out his name and waved her hand.
FeelingAwesome123 flinched hearing someone call out his name.
He turned around and saw that it was Winter Snow.
He quickly turned around again and was about to run, but unfortunately, he was too late as a hand grabbed him by his shoulder.
“Urgh… What do you want? I only recovered just now, so don’t drag me to your shenanigans!!” FeelingAwesome123 shouted hysterically.

“Geez, calm down, I just want to talk to you~” Winter Snow grinned.
He looked at her with a strange expression and sighed.
“Ok, what is it?” He asked.
“Why did a dragon appear in the first place anyway?” She asked in turn.
“That’s easy. That’s because of a bastard who woke that dragon up.” He answered.
“Ohhh.”
“Any more questions?” He asked.
“Nope, thanks for answering.” She smiled.
“Ok, I'm gonna go now.” He looked at her grimly.
He then quickly sprinted away from Winter Snow.
Winter Snow: “...”
“Anyways, it seems like my suspicions were right. Though, the surprising thing was that it was Lyn all along that started it.” She felt flabbergasted.
“So… Where should I go next?” She contemplated for a moment.
“Ah! I know, let’s just go to the Adventurer’s guild~” She tapped her fist to her palm.
She then headed towards the Adventurer’s guild.
While she was going over to the Adventurer’s guild, FeelingAwesome123 was panting in the corner after getting far away from her.
He looked to the sides and the back to make sure that she didn’t follow him.
“Haa… Haa... Thank goodness, I thought she would chase after me…” He felt tired.
“Anyways, I can’t meet her! Not until I have money at least!!” He said.
After he said that, he was reminded of the fact that he didn’t have money and immediately drooped his head and sighed. He summoned his inventory to take a look at it.
[Inventory panel shown on this page]
Inventory:
[Plain Shirt] [Plain pants]
[Staff]
Empty slots: 62(2)
Exclusive/Weapon slots: 6 (1)
He only had his weapon and garments in the inventory. Not even food or any items such as miscellaneous stuff and so on. He was truly broke in a sense.
“Seems like I need to take on some quests and earn some money. Sigh…” He rubbed his face tiredly.
“...Now that I think about it, how did she manage to get away? And it looks like she’s quite unscathed as well…?”
He thought about it.
“Ah, never mind that. It’s none of my business anyway, and also it’s a waste of time thinking about it.” And so he moved on.
He started heading to the Adventurer’s guild as well, to get some quests. Before that though, he was planning to stop by the Public Bulletin board. He heard something interesting was posted on the public bulletin board, so he was gonna stop by there for a moment to see what it was.
A few moments of walking…
He arrived at the town square where the public bulletin board can be found.
The public bulletin board was filled with all kinds of posts and news, but one particular post that was larger than the rest was posted at the center of the board. It wrote:
!!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
A dragon appeared at the Collapsed mining site that is estimated to be 150 feet tall! We advise everyone in Melburn Town not to go to the Collapsed mining site, especially ordinary citizens!!
!!!WE REPEAT!!!
We advise anyone in Melburn Town not to go to the Collapsed mining site, especially ordinary citizens!!
NOTE TO ALL ADVENTURERS PRESENT IN THE AREA:
WE ARE ENCOURAGING ADVENTURERS TO SUBDUE THE DRAGON!!

IN THE EVENT THAT THE DRAGON WILL INVADE THE TOWN, A [DEFENSE ORDER] WILL BE ISSUED BY THE CITY HALL AND ALL ADVENTURERS IN THE AREA WILL ABIDE BY IT!!!
ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE COMPENSATED!!!
FeelingAwesome123: “...”
He gulped when he saw the contents of the post.
“Sh*t, then that means I would still have to participate? Ugh… But at least there are compensations and rewards for it…”
Then, a sudden realization hit him.
“Wait a minute! If I reported who instigated all of this, wouldn’t I get a reward or something for reporting it?” FeelingAwesome123’s eyes lit up in realization.
“Hehe, no matter what, whether I get any reward or not, I will report that son of a b*tch and get him wanted for life!” He had a dark grin on his face.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
The multiple passersby in the area gave him weird looks, but he ignored all of them as he was too excited about the revelation he made.
He impatiently made his way to the Adventurer’s guild.
