4. Modern problems require modern solutions

Thanks to the level up I was able to raise my agility to 17 causing the hour and a half left of the walk to turn into a 30-minute walk

While walking I decide to check the stats of my new equipment

————————————

Windcharm-necklace form

Epic

+30 wisdom

Strengthens wind magic by 2.5 times

The crystallized tear of a wind spirit turned into a necklace, it's powerful wind energy affects all wind energy coming out of the wearer causing it to strengthen

—————————————

—————————————-

Decent iron bastard sword

Common

+15 physical attack

+8 guard power

A decent iron bastard sword has seen some use but is still of decent quality. The straight guard pained yellow complements its white handle. It appears as if the creator of this weapon was trying to make the blade look better than it was

—————————————-

Arriving at the base of a mountain I look up to see the mountains were piercing the clouds

"I thought this was supposed to be a valley" I quickly opened the map to realize that the valley was behind this mountain. There appeared to be no way in as the entire area was blocked by mountains

"Guess the only way is over then…fucking hell…" I started making my way up

Along the way there were monsters… and when I say monsters I mean MONSTERS. These fuckers could kill me with their pinky finger who the fuck was this woman to live here!?!?

Eventually, I reached a cave where I took a break before I noticed writing on the walls

-only those who possess the flute of love may enter unharmed. For others here be dragons-

Looking at the item in my inventory I realize that Caric meant near not in the valley. Striding in I start wandering around on the ground were bones that were so charred that I couldn't tell if they were human or not but something that grabbed my attention was the mountains of gold

I almost dived into it with glee before I found a red scale on the ground picking it up I had one thought

'They weren't being literal when it said here be dragons right?… right…'

Suddenly a gust of warm air hit my back, slowly turning my head I saw in fact, a dragon

Diving behind the pile of gold coins a massive scorching heat filled the cave as the coins started melting

'Shitshitshitshitshit! What do I do' I started looking around when my eyes eventually landed on a robe

Grabbing the robe I through it to my right which caused it to immediately get blasted by flames, using this chance I ran towards to dragon and swung my sword with all of my might!

Only for it to shatter upon hitting the dragon not even scratching the scale…

"Fuck"

The dragon's finger gently poked me sending me flying into a wall

-125 hp

-warning you are on the brink of consciousness

I sat there for a good minute accepting my death but when nothing happened I open my eyes to realize the dragon thought I was dead! Looking directly above its head there was a massive stalagmite

Using my newfound wind magic I used to drop the stalagmite on its head knocking it out

Quickly taking out the flute I started playing it wanting to get out of here immediately

Noticing the dragon was starting to wake up I started playing more frantically

"Cary? Is that you?" I heard a woman's voice

"No, but I can take you to him! But come quickly!" I said frantically into the darkness where I heard the voice

"Really!" The woman's voice responded with joy

Suddenly the dragon erupted into smoke and when I cleared… it was a girl? She had dark red wolf-cut hair with two white horns sticking out of her head. Her skin was a tanned colour and she was wearing a white dress which turned brown halfway through but the transition was covered by a brown corset

"Alright let's get going!" She said happily

"H-huh what happened to the dragon!?" I stammered

":3….:0" she suddenly realized what I was talking about

"Oh, I'm the dragon! Sorry for attacking you earlier!" She rubbed the back of her head with an open palm

"You're supposed to scratch the back of your head when guilty" I pointed out

"Oh! My bad" she switched to scratching

"That feels good :3–" she started drooling

"Come on let's just get going" I pulled her hand

"Again I'm really sorry for attacking you earlier I thought you were trying to take my treasures! Here, take these as a sorry gift!" She stuffed her whole arm into her hair before pulling out a couple of scales

"I'm not even going to question it" I muttered under my breath

"Tanks uh…"

"Oh! The names dragapi!" She said excitedly

'Wait a minute… I'm going to have to walk for like 3 hours alone with no one but her… god please save me!' I despaired in my head as we made our way down the mountain

After an agonizing journey, we finally reached Caric's place

"No way! You did it! Hey boss! Dragpi's here!" The man in a blue suit shouted to the back room

Caric walked out of the back room and embraced Dragapi

"It's been too long darling… would y'all mind giving us a moment," Caric asked us before going to the back room with Caric

"Don't tell me they're gonna-"

"Nah, Cu-Caric has never felt that way towards her. It's always been romantic" the man in blue interrupted me

"…what's your name by the way man"

"The names Lan, what's yours" he leaned against the wall

"Ryuko M-"

"Eh, no need. I'm just gonna call you boss anyways" he winked

"Huh…?"

"Hello master" Dragapi walked out of the building before bowing to me

"H-huh?!? What's going on?"
