I moved over to Goto's boat and looked into the water. Seeing this, Goto nodded.
I see...a drop. Do you need our help?"
Really? That would be very helpful.
Goto and his team have two frog-shaped shadow puppets with sensory sharing capabilities. They are going to use them to search together. Goto and Shiraki bring the frog-shaped shadow puppets out of the shadows and put on sunglasses-type video receivers.
I put Geronta's ring in the drawstring bag containing the metis so that Goto and the others would not find it. I thought it would be easier to find the ring if the metis controlled it.
Metis pulled Geronta out of my shadow and had her jump into the water with an underwater light.
Don't we have frog-shaped shadow puppets now with sensory-sharing capabilities?"
Goto asked since I didn't wear the sunglasses-type video receiver.
They are ordinary shadow puppets. However, they are trained to look for drops."
I see... As one would expect from a leading shadow puppeteer."
The three shadow puppets searched the ocean floor and found three things. One was a white magic stone
And the last one was a scroll. It also had a feature that made me think it was a magic circle of D-particle secondary mutation. I wanted to check it out as soon as possible, but I thought it would be a bad idea to do so here, so I decided to return to the ground.
There were no relics of Akagi and the others, were there?
Goto said in a muttered voice.
Was he swallowed whole by a ptyrodon?"
I think it's a nasty end. But if you continue to be an adventurer, you will experience many times that someone you know dies a terrible death. It was inevitable.
After returning to the ground, I thanked Goto and the others and headed for the Adventurers' Guild. I had to report the last sight of Akagi and the others and that I had defeated Aqua Dragon.

Arriving at the Adventurers' Guild, I met with Branch Chief Kondo and reported what had happened on the third layer.
'Oh yeah, Akagi and the others are dead.
The branch manager looked gloomy and said.
The death of Akagi and the others is tragic, but Grimm's defeat of Aqua Dragon is an accomplishment. Congratulations."
Thank you, can I get an A grade?"
The branch manager nodded.
I think I'll be fine. However, in order to become an "A" level member, the Adventurers' Guild of Japan must send a letter of recommendation and a detailed list of your accomplishments to the World Adventurers' Guild headquarters for review. Normally, the decision is based on the application screening alone, but in Grimm's case, there may be an interview.
They say that when a nineteen-year-old genius attack wizard or an adventurer with one arm missing becomes an A-level, there is an interview. They say that when an irregular being becomes an A-level, there is an interview.
'So you're interviewing a first-time living wizard because he's going to be an A-level. It can't be helped."
'By the way, I have to check to see if you really did defeat the Aqua Dragon. Did you collect the drops?"
Yes, with the help of Goto-san and others, we searched the bottom of the ocean for it.
'Well, you used a frog-shaped shadow puppet. But the ptyrodon didn't disturb you, did it?"
He was gone as soon as the aquadragon died. Maybe he escaped, or maybe he went back to the underwater temple."
Now let me check the magic stone.
I took out a White Magic Stone
There's no doubt about it. It is the magic stone left behind by Aqua Dragon."
I understand. Thanks."
When Kato left, I asked the branch manager.
Can you tell what kind of magic is in that magic stone left behind by what kind of demon?"
There is such analytical magic. However, there are only a few people who can use that kind of magic, so it is not something that every adventurer's guild can do. And since we don't know which dungeon the aqua dragon is in, we need to be sure that the dragon is really gone.
In my case, I have the testimony of Goto and others, so I say it doesn't matter.
After reporting to the branch manager, I went to the waiting room, where I was greeted with applause and congratulations from the adventurers. It seemed that Goto and his team had told everyone that they had defeated Aqua Dragon.
"Wow, I think he's going to be the youngest A-level student in Japan."
And you're the first living wizard to do that. It's a record."
Teach me the magic of life.
I decided to treat everyone to a feast and drinks. I heard that it is customary to celebrate a hole-in-one in golf with your fellow golfers and the people around you.
We took delivery from various restaurants and ordered large quantities of beer and sake from the liquor store. Of course, I had the branch manager's permission. Kondo said this was necessary to avoid the envy of other adventurers.
After making noise until midnight, I went back to the mansion and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I had a hangover and a headache, but I felt good.
Komugi, who was watching TV, turned around and looked at me.
'You look pale, are you all right?'
I'm hungover, I'll be fine."
The news of my defeat of the Aqua Dragon was reported in the newspapers and on TV later that day. Adventurers seemed interested, but the general public was not so interested, and only a couple of newspapers and weekly magazines came to cover the event.
There is a reason for this. Around the same time, Takase, a Class A adventurer, defeated a named dragon with an individual name. The dragon's name was "Fafnir.
A dragon from Norse and Germanic mythology with a habit of collecting treasures, it was said that whoever defeated Fafnir would obtain an enormous treasure.
Takase apparently defeated Fafnir and obtained treasures totaling more than 20 billion yen.
It took me a while to check the newly acquired scroll because I was being interviewed and so on. This scroll was a magic circle of D-particle secondary mutation, and it had the property of
＜Using the characteristics of
