Semi-retired Adventurer Lives Leisurely

.if it was a regular Magecraft vehicle, it wouldn’t be able to drive on this rough terrain, but if it’s made by one of the best craftsman of the ages, Mr.
Gordon, it must really be something else.

 

Mr.
Gordon waved us forward as he guided us to an object hidden in the shade of a large rock and covered with a camouflage sheet.

 

Gordon: “Yup, this is it! I named it the Land Cruising Shooting Star・The Super Gordon Special! Doesn’t it look amazing?!”

 

And as Mr.
Gordon took off the covers, we saw his car in all its glory.

 

It was a wonderful work of metal with sharp contours.
There were a lot of additional blocky pieces attached to it, but I couldn’t tell what they were for.

 

But this is a up and coming new type of Magecraft vehicle and compared to the ones where the designs resemble horse carriages………..this one looks amazing.

Of course, we have to leave the name aside.

 

Jend: “WHOOOOOOAAAAーー!! This is amazing, Mr.
Gordon! I want one too!”

 

Gordon: “Yeah? Yeah? Of course you do.”

 

Henry: “Hey! I want one too.
CーCan you really give us all a ride?” Gordon: “I usually only let women ride with me, but it can’t be helped.
I’ll make an exception for this one time, got it?” And Jend and I completely forgot about the fight to the death we just overcame, and Mr.
Gordon laughed merrily as he watched our reaction.

 

Cyril: “I do think that it looks cool, but is it something to get that excited over?” Ferris: “Cyril, you just have to let them fuss when they get all excited like that.”

 

Teo: “……….what happened to the tension we were feeling a little while ago?” I knew the women of our group were exasperated at Jend and I, but I pretended to not notice.

 

<<<<>>>>

 

As we expected, the Land Cruising Shooting Star smoothly crossed over the rough terrain, and in 20 minutes, we speeded over to our destination.

 

Gordon: “Alright, we’re here!”

 

And Mr.
Gordon sharply turned the wheel, and slammed one of the pedals used for activating the brakes.

 

The car slid sideways as it decelerated quickly……..and it stopped right in front of a large cavern on the side of a mountain.
Around us, there were many facilities and tools probably used for defensive purposes, and I saw the foundational mechanism for a Magecraft Barrier generator.

 

This must be the entrance to Gungard.

 

…….and in front of the cave, there were many heavily armored Dwarven Warriors standing guard, but they all looked shocked at the sight of Mr.
Gordon’s car.

 

Among them, one of the warriors with more elaborate and luxurious armor walked towards the Land Cruising Shooting Star.

 

“GーGordon? Didn’t you just leave to go take care of that ape? Who are all those people with you?” Gordon: “Hey, Georg.
Listen up.
This party of humans minced that annoying Hanuman.
I helped too of course.”

 

“What? Hey, is that true? After the Demonic Apes all disappeared, we thought something was up but…..”

Ohhh, since they did not spawn naturally and were clones of the Hanuman, after the Hanuman died, they all probably disappeared too.

Gordon: “It’s all true.
So, in that case, I won the bet.”

 

“……….no, wait, Gordon.
You said those humans killed the Hanuman, right? Then isn’t the bet off?” Gordon: “Nope, I won the bet.
The bet was, ‘If I came back alive,’ then all the good-for-nothing warriors who can’t even get rid of this city’s enemies would buy me as many drinks as I liked.
There was nothing in there about me defeating the Hanuman.”

Sheesh.
They were making bets on the Hanuman? But honestly, being able to live and come back to tell the tale against a Highest-Tier is a pretty amazing accomplishment.
On the way here, Mr.
Gordon told me that the reason why he didn’t bring others along was because without any passengers, he would be able to probably escape driving away on the Land Cruising Shooting Star.

 

“………ugh.
If only you died, we would have drank with all the wealth you would have left behind, and then we would have gone and killed that stupid ape.
Because of you, now we lost the chance to take down a Highest-Tier, you jerk.”

 

Gordon: “Too bad for you!”

 

And Mr.
Gordon laughed merrily once again.

 

Although these are some dark humored jokes, judging from how both sides are laughing, this must be the norm around here.

 

“Ohhhh! We forgot to greet you.
Hey! Line up!!”

 

And the Dwarven Warrior named Georg straightened up, and the other warriors probably under his command came running at his order.

 

The Dwarven Warriors shook themselves out of shock and lined up in a straight line.

 

“Draw and salute!”

 

All the warriors drew out their weapons and with both hands, held it in front of their face.

 

You could tell that they were all carrying first-rate weapons.
Every weapon was of an amazing quality just from a glance.

 

………and now that I think about it, I heard that for Dwarves, showing their must trusted weapons like this is the utmost form of respect they can show.

 

“You have defeated the atrocious Hanuman, human heroes! We, the Dwarven Warriors, welcome you! Welcome to the Mountain City of Gungard!”

 

And we received an unusually intense welcome.

 

……….and that’s how we arrived at the Dwarven City of Gungard.
