The Unaware Atelier Meister

I'm so glad you've come,

traveling hero and his retainer!

You need to defeat the Demon King and save the world!

Yes! I'll do my best!

I'll do my best too!

H-Hold on, wait!

Don't do your best with that!

This wasn't what the job was about!

Huh?

Huh?!

Oh my, I'm so sorry.

It looks like my father said some strange things.

He always wanted to be one of those prophets who say ominous things.

He's been getting a little senile lately,

so now he's always saying such things.

And you are?

I'm the client.

This is my father-in-law.

You're from the atelier, right?

Thank you for coming out today.

Yes!

Sure.

Setting that aside,

I wasn't expecting a newlywed couple to come out here.

Huh?!

What a cute child you have.

This is Papa and Yuli-mama!

A-Akuri!

S-She thinks we're newlyweds...

I wonder if Yulishia is mad about that?

This is awful!

Of course she would be mad over someone mistaking me as her husband.

It's probably quite rude to be calling someone as young and beautiful

as Yulishia "Mama" as well.

I'll just have to make it up to her through our work!

So, umm, what was the job you had for us?

To be honest,

the pigs on our farm

haven't been eating their feed lately.

They haven't?

I see.

It's been fairly hot recently,

so they might have some heat exhaustion.

I'll prepare some feed that relieves heat exhaustion.

My, you can create feed for that?

That's an atelier for you.

Well, it's time for me to take father on his walk,

so could I ask you to handle that?

Yes! Leave it to me!

I'll be back later then.

Take care.

Yulishia?

Huh? Is she still mad?

Newlyweds...

Kurt and I are newlyweds...

Newlyweds...

Kurt and I are newlyweds...

Oh no!

Yulishia's so shocked by the misunderstanding that she isn't moving!

I see.

So we look like newlyweds?

I'm seen as Kurt's wife...

Regardless of the height difference and age gap,

it wouldn't be that unusual for us to have a child.

Oh, what am I saying?!

I've been indulging in fantasies too much ever since Akuri showed up.

I'm not being influenced too much by Lise, am I?

I-It's not like I'm harboring any naughty feelings toward Kurt!

Kurt's just the man I need to protect.

So cute!

It's my job...

So why does my chest ache so much?

Kurt! Akuri!

Look out!

Yulishia, stop!

Kurt?!

Please sheathe your sword!

Akuri!

Huh?!

Oh, right.

You're from the city, so you wouldn't know.

In rural areas,

it's pretty common for dragons to show up and ask for a share

when you're making feed for livestock.

No, it's not!

~A Common Tale About the Former Head of Chores for a Party of Heroes That Turned Out to be SSS-Rank in Everything Except Combat Skills~

Akuri's Fwoosh

Papa, Yuli-mama, is it a big doggy?

Akuri, this isn't a dog.

It's a child dragon.

Dwagon?

I smell blood.

Phantom?!

It's the phantom member guarding Kurt!

Who on earth?!

Yulishia?! What's wrong?!

Stay back!

Take Akuri with you and get away from here!

Huh?!

Kurt!

Hand over the child.

The child?

Y-You're...

You know her?!

You're a dragon hunter, aren't you?!

No, she's not.

What I'm sensing

is much more concerning.

Kurt!

Just go!

Huh? But...

He tamed a dragon when it's said they're never friendly toward people?

No wonder he's SSS-Rank in all but combat skills.

She's strong?!

I can't keep this up!

When you said "hand over the child",

did you mean the child dragon?

Or Akuri?

Knowing won't do you any good once you're dead.

Not even going to let me buy time, huh?

Oh no!

Oh my, was there a landslide somewhere?

What do you think, Father?

It's an omen of great upheaval.

Of course.

The magic crystals Kurt makes are impressive.

Anyway, this is the end.

Wha?! You?!

Horns?

No way!

A demon?

With their overwhelming magical power and physical abilities, they're mankind's natural enemy.

But why is there one here?

In the last century,

a demon has never shown itself before a human.

A wound this deep

was unexpected.

You dispelled my transformation spell, too.

No wonder you were able to beat a demon lord.

This woman knows that we defeated a demon lord?

That means she's been watching us since before the city was attacked!

That dragon definitely isn't the child she was referring to!

Could she be after Kurt?

Damn it.

I've used everything I could use as a weapon.

Please, Kurt, hurry back to the frontier town.

It's just a short flight with the dragon, right?

Sakura, Lise, and everyone else are there, too.

Eventually the other members of Phantom will notice.

Sorry, but I'm...

Yulishia!

What?!

Why?!

Is he planning to fight with the dragon?!

It's true that dragons have tremendous combat strength,

but Kurt, your combat abilities are...

See what I mean!

You idiot! Why did you come back?!

Why? To escape!

What's this sound?

Pigs?!

Yulishia?

Where's Akuri?

She's waiting for us somewhere safe!

Kurt, in your village, is it common for people to pick fights

while riding a dragon with someone who well outclasses them?

Of course it isn't!

It's my first time doing something this reckless!

Though it's not just common for a man to do something reckless to protect
