Overgeared

The world had changed so much. Grid, who was tilting his teacup, realized it once again. It was through Hayate, who was sitting facing him. The dragon killer who had confined himself for over a thousand years now appeared in front of everyone. It was a new feeling.

“It is all thanks to you.”

Hayate smiled as he happily looked at the people passing by the window. Until not so long ago, Hayate had been passive in all things. He feared that the smallest carelessness would provoke the dragons and endanger the world. This wasn’t the case any longer.

He learned from watching Grid fight against enemies stronger than himself. He learned by watching Grid, who wasn’t afraid of defeat. He learned from watching Grid develop while taking failure as a lesson. There was no end to avoidance. Even if he lost, he had to fight, learn, and improve.

“I plan to go on a trip for a while. I will visit and talk to the top dragons who have maintained their dignity and settled in one place for a long time.”

“A conversation...”

A conversation between a dragon and a Dragon Slayer? Grid couldn’t imagine it in his head. Could shooting fire and aiming the sword at the other be called a conversation?

Hayate read the mind of the bewildered Grid and explained, “I only recently realized that most of the top dragons, who are inherently threatened by the old dragons, can make rational decisions.”

The vast majority of dragons made decisions and acted based on the awareness that they were a great species. Therefore, they showed unstoppable and incomprehensible actions. On the other hand, the small number of top dragons were rational from a human point of view. Most of them were cautious because they were targeted by the old dragons. They were clearly different from the low ranking dragons who were full of pride, an intermediate dragon who was obsessed with hunting the low ranking dragons, and the old dragons who were outside of common sense.

Grid taught him.

“Crazy... I learned from your story of becoming a Dragon Knight.”

“......”

It was Hayate who couldn’t bring up the words ‘crazy god and crazy dragon.’ It was caring that wasn’t caring. The reason why the story associated with the Dragon Knight was given the name ‘crazy god and crazy dragon’ was simple. It was because those who witnessed the secret story at the time were the three masters. Grid wasn’t actually crazy...

There was no need to explain this one by one. He wondered if he might feel upset.

Grid hesitated for a moment as Hayate continued. “I’ll make sure to invite some human gods to come to you while I’m traveling.”

“......!”

Hayate understood the structure from the moment he entered the Overgeared World. He knew exactly what Grid needed and looked for ways to help Grid. He decided to assist in the search and recruitment of human gods. It was a very grateful thing for Grid.
