Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

[According to the calculations of the Dragon Slayer System, if this plan is followed, only 10 years of education will be needed to complete the first stage goal. And the second stage goal that follows can also be carried out smoothly.]

[From my perspective, I recommend that Sir Sieg follow the Dragon Slayer System plan - of course, this is not a mandatory plan, everything is up to you.]

Brunhilde added.

Em laughed. "For a system that only thinks about slaying dragons, it's really surprising that it would make such a decision. But considering its purpose, this is not a difficult solution. After all, one will take at least 20 years, while the other may only take 10 years. The latter is definitely more efficient."

"It's not like there's no precedent in the database, although including this time with Qi Ge Zai, there have only been five such cases."

"...Has anyone accepted this before?" asked Sieg.

Brunhilde nodded.

[Those who were assigned similar plans eventually accepted the contract. In order to give you a better education, in addition to the training plan formulated by the Dragon Slayer System, the Clinshid will also take you to a suitable planet to ensure that the re-education environment is suitable for you as a new student.]

"...Wait a minute, Miss Brunhilde, you mean...this plan not only wants me to become a child? But also wants me to live on another planet?"

【Yes】

[According to the information collected in the past month, the current planet is not suitable as a place for re-education. Among the many planets that the Clinshid has visited, 103 planets are suitable as the first stage of education. If you choose to accept the plan, I can help you choose, or you can choose the planet you are interested in yourself.]

This was even more exaggerated than Ziggy had imagined.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

Although he had signed the contract with the Dragon Slayer System for more than a month, due to Brunhilde's previous description and the fact that the Dragon Slayer System did not issue any mandatory orders, Sieg still thought that the Dragon Slayer System would at most give him some dragon slaying tasks from time to time, or instruct him on how to slay dragons.

Just like the receptionist of the Dragon Hunting Guild.

I didn’t expect that such a big bomb would be taken out all of a sudden!

"...You're willing to go to this extent to slay the dragon?"

【Yes】

"That's pretty restrained." Em added, "Did Sister Hill tell you about the contractor who killed the most dragons in the past? She was a crazy woman who only had killing dragons in her mind. In order to kill all the dragons on a planet, she blew up the planet."

"And the [Star Blast] plan was prepared by the Dragon Slayer System."

Sieg: “——!”

In order to kill the dragon...he even blew up an entire planet?

Is such a thing actually possible?

No, whether it can be done or not is another matter. In order to kill dragons efficiently, can the Dragon Killing System even come up with a plan that can be said to be destroying the world?

"Don't be so imaginative, little one. I think you still don't have a very clear understanding of the matter of [Exterminating the Dragon Clan]."

Walking up to Sieg, Em poked his forehead with a smile and said, "That is equivalent to completely destroying an entire race. In order to achieve this goal, any means are permitted, even if it means sacrificing thousands of humans to destroy a dragon. That is a necessary sacrifice."

"..."

Sieg couldn't help but fall silent again.

After a while, Sieg stood up and said, "I...will go to the training room."

"Well, practice those three kinds of magic I told you about. I'll check on you from time to time later."

After watching Sieg walk out of the data room, Em put down his waving hand and glanced at Brunhilde beside him: "Oh, oh, Sister Hill, there is one thing I want to ask about the plan just now - changing planets or something, is it really necessary? Although with the performance of the Klinghild and the warp engine, it only takes a short time to go to another planet, but this should not conform to the basic calculation rules of the Dragon Slayer System."

"You added that, didn't you? Why?"

[Lord Sieg has no childhood]

“…Oh~~~Is that what you mean?”

After being stunned for a moment, Em finally understood what Brunhilde meant, and then he threw himself on her with a silly smile on his face: "Sister Hill is still so considerate and kind-hearted. You are obviously an AI. If I can marry you, I want to marry you right now, guwuwuwuwuwu————!"

Pushing Em away with one hand, Brunhilde said calmly:

[I do not possess many of the physiological characteristics of living things, nor can I fully understand the emotions of living things. In addition, from the perspective of continuing offspring, I cannot meet this condition, so I am not a suitable marriage partner. Em-sama should have known this long ago.]

"Hey~~~Don't say such disappointing things. We can try a platonic love." Em rubbed Brunhilde's leg, saliva almost dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Please allow me to refuse

Brunhilde pulled her legs free before they were stained by Em's saliva and turned towards the door of the data room.

"Hmm? Where are you going, Miss Hill?"

[Go prepare psychological counseling for Lord Sieg, and——The Crimsheed has detected three life forms approaching.]

18. Princess Laksha

In the training room.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Standing in the shooting range for gun training, Sieg continuously condensed fist-sized fireballs in his hands and shot them at the targets standing not far away.

Explosions sounded continuously.

[The first round of shooting test ends]

With such a sound, Sieg stopped shooting, and then all the targets moved in front of him. Each one was completely shattered and burned by the fireball, proving that Sieg's shooting accuracy was still acceptable.

[Do we need to start the second round? ]

"start."

[The second round of shooting test is about to begin, please be prepared]

He rekindled the flame in his palm and looked at the new fixed target that had appeared not far away. Sieg raised his hand again, and at the same time, the words that Brunhilde and Em had said before echoed in his mind.

To be honest, Zigg is feeling a bit complicated right now.

During this month, Sieg was very satisfied with the life on the Klingheed. He had never slept on such a comfortable bed before. He had always slept on hard wooden beds before, and in recent years he had slept on the floor every day. He also prepared his meals casually. The first time he roasted dragon meat, he even messed it up. It looked cooked on the outside, but it was still raw on the inside.

It’s actually the same thing now. People only know how to roast dragon meat over high heat until it’s cooked through, without caring about the taste at all - it’s totally incomparable to the dishes Brunhilde prepares every day.

Add to that the comfortable bathroom and other aspects...the quality of life in the one month on the Krenshid is completely incomparable to the previous sixteen years. It would be no problem for him to live on the Krenshid for the rest of his life.

But, Zig also knew that living here came at a price.

He initially thought that [becoming a contractor of the Dragon Slayer System, and then killing some lower-level dragons as usual] was the price he had to pay. After all, Miss Brunhilde said that she did not force him to slay dragons, and Sieg himself had no obsession with slaying dragons. As long as he could survive, that was enough.

But now the plan proposed by the Dragon Slayer System...

[End of the second round of shooting test]

The prompt sound brought Sieg's thoughts back to reality, and looking at the fixed target that was intact and the wall in the distance that had some marks left by the fireball, Sieg sighed slightly.

"Da da da......"

The sound of footsteps came.

Sieg turned his head and looked: "...Miss Brunhilde."

[I'm sorry to interrupt your self-training, Master Sieg——Are you unable to concentrate when the second round of shooting begins? ]

"Just thinking about something."

[But all hits in the first round, and none in the second round. If Sieg-sama continues to maintain such a high range of shooting skills, it will be a big risk to the dragon slayer.]

"I'll release it at zero distance when I kill the dragon." Sieg walked out of the shooting range, "What's the matter?"

[Judging from Sieg-sama's mental state, I think you need some psychological counseling - Sieg-sama is unable to accept the training program formulated by the Dragon Slayer System? ]

Sieg paused, then sat down on a chair. "It's not that I can't accept it, but rather... I don't know whether I should accept it or not, and I'm so surprised that I don't know how to react. After all, until a month ago, I was just a wandering dragon hunter."

"To be honest, I feel very lucky now. I met Miss Brunhilde a month ago and moved into the Climbhilde. The living environment here is so good that I could never have imagined it before. Maybe even the so-called imperial palace can't compare to this, right?"

"So, if I really need to pay something, I am willing to pay. But..."

[I see. I understand Sieg-sama’s thoughts.]

Brunhilde came up to Sieg.

[Please allow me to explain a little more - the plan formulated by the Dragon Slayer System is to train the contractor to become the ultimate Dragon Slayer. So far, all contractors have their own plans, but even the contractor who exterminated the dragon race by destroying the planet did not grow completely according to the plan.]

[Because plans can never keep up with changes, even the computing power of the Dragon Slayer System cannot 100% predict what will happen in the future. Therefore, as your AI assistant, I want to tell you that the plan is just a reference. It is your own will that determines how to move forward in the future.]

"Ms. Brunhilde... does that mean we can ignore that plan?"

【Yes】

[The Dragon Slayer System has no right to interfere with any of your decisions. We cannot force you to do anything, but on the contrary, you can ask us to act according to your will. The initiative is in your hands, please don't forget this. ]

(The initiative is in my hands?)

"In other words, can I order you or the Dragon Slayer System to do anything?"

[Yes, you can do anything, as long as it is something that I, the Dragon Slayer System, and the Clinshid can do. Of course, the power of Lady Em is also part of what you can use. Because you are our contractor, everything related to you is your power.]

".......I see."

(In that case...)

[That's good. Then I await your reply regarding the growth plan formulated by the Dragon Slayer System - now there is another urgent matter that needs your attention.]

Hearing this, Sieg frowned and held back what he was about to say: "......What's going on? Could it be that damn dwarf Shenwei is here again? Or is there a group of dragons approaching?"

[No, but someone is indeed approaching the Crimsheed. The following is the content analyzed after converting the vibration information captured by the Crimsheed into sound——]

As Brunhilde spoke, she unfolded a picture in her hand that was composed of several irregular wavy lines floating up and down.

Some unclear voices came from the screen.

"Shasha... Princess... Shasha... Are you really... here?"

"Of course... Shasha... That's what the intelligence says!"

"Do they really exist? Those.....shasha...dragon people who use magic?"

......

It sounds like two or three people are having a conversation?

[Due to the distance, the content of the conversation is a little blurry, but judging from the direction of the other party's movement, the destination should be the forest where the Clinshid is located. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is just passing by. ]

[How should I treat you, Lord Sieg? ]

"...Can you confirm the other party's identity?"

[Please wait - request to connect to the visual intelligence collector of the Clinshid, start projection]

The light screen in Brunhilde's hand suddenly enlarged several times, and the picture changed from a strange wavy line image that could only transmit sound to a real scene.

In the picture, a car is speeding across the land.

There were three people in the car, two of them were adults, wearing military uniforms of an unknown country, and the last one was... a girl who looked about the same age as Sieg?

"But is it really okay for you to leave the palace without permission like this?"

"——Her Royal Highness Princess Laksha."

As one of the soldiers said this, the girl's name was revealed.

【Laksha】

This was the name of the girl who was now approaching the Crimsheed.

19. The Invading Dragon

My name is Laksha, and I am Her Royal Highness the Princess of this country, and sixth in line to the throne.

12 years old this year.

Now I am secretly driving to the border area of ​​our country with two soldiers, without telling anyone in the palace. As for why, it is naturally because of an interesting rumor circulating in the country.

[There is an incredibly powerful dragon hunter on the border]

It is not known when this rumor started, but it is certain that it has gradually spread in recent years.

This made me very interested. Although many people scoffed at this rumor, I had nothing to do in the palace and no one cared about me, so I simply ran out to see if the rumor was true.

however--

"It should be around this area, right?"

Sitting in the car, comparing the map she got from the nearest village and the rumors she collected, Laksha, with her hair tied up in a big bow, turned her lively eyes around in some confusion.
