I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend left for the military base after dropping Arty off at her school.

Of course, Billy was always in the driving seat.

Erend turned when he saw Billy's face looked awful. It was as if a dark cloud was covering his face.

"Is that ale still on you?" Erend asked.

He knew that Billy's face looked like that not because of the ale. But because of something else.

Even so, it's not a problem to tease him right now.

"No," Billy answered curtly.

Erend snorted. "Take it easy. We just have to go about our day as usual."

"I'd rather spend my days in the bunker and killing Elves than this," Billy said.

"Are you sure?"

Billy nodded. "At least if I die, I'll just disappear. Here, we're just humiliated and can't do anything."

Erend chuckled. "Yeah. I think you have a point."

They were still some distance from the military headquarters. But Billy was driving slower than usual.

It was obvious that he didn't want to go to the military base.

"Today we will only do another briefing. The training will only start tomorrow, you know?" Erend said.

"That's even worse. It means we still have one more day to go through. Even though I want all of this to be over quickly," Billy said.

Erend did not reply to Billy's words. Any complaints they let out would be useless.

They still have to undergo this military operation training. After that, they have to serve the country to keep their families safe.

That's how their life will go. Erend just sighed and stared out the car window.

[ Daily Quests Updated! ]

Suddenly a notification appeared in his vision. This was quite surprising because usually Daily Quest notifications only appeared when he wanted to see them.

'Open it.'

After Erend said that inside his head. The description of the Daily Quest appeared.

[ Daily / Urgent Quest: neutralize the threat of 50 Lycans in Raichi Town. ]

[ Rewards: 800 Exp. ]

[ Progress: Lycans threat (Not neutralized ) ]

Erend frowned at the notification.

'What does Daily/Urgent mean? Are the Lycans going to destroy the city if I don't get there soon?'

Erend wants to call Tut so he can get an explanation. However, he could not reach Tut.

He didn't know where the 'creature' went when it was needed.

Nevertheless, Erend has to do it if it's something urgent.

"Speed ​​up the car. We have to get to headquarters soon," Erend said.

Billy turned to him with a surprised look.

"What? Why?"

Erend looked at Billy with serious eyes. "I have to go to do something."

Billy knew what those looks and words meant. Erend has something to do in another world.

And when he said it Erend seemed to have to leave as soon as possible.

But what reason must Billy give to everyone at military headquarters?

"I don't know what to tell Geralt, Erend," Billy said with a worried face. "He won't accept any excuses. And you know that."

"Yeah. I know. But... I have to go," Erend said still with the same serious face.

Billy sighed because he didn't know what to do.

If Erend disappeared and didn't come in when there was likely to be an important briefing, he would have dire consequences.

"Wait," Erend said. "I think I got something."

"What's that?"

"Stop the car there."

Erend pointed to a gas station beside the road. Billy immediately turned and stopped the car.

After that, they both got out of the car and headed to the bathroom.

Luckily, no one was around the bathroom. Or they will give a strange look when they see two grown men enter the same bathroom.

"What are you going to do?" Billy whispered curiously to Erend.

"Wait a moment," Erend said then called one of his most reliable subordinates.

'Slimes?'

["Yes?" ]

As usual, Slime was always quick to respond when Erend needed it.

It was as if Slime had always been there and waited faithfully for Erend to call it.

Somehow, Erend felt bad. He ignored Slime and only called it when he needed to.

Erend didn't even consider it important before he needed it.

After this, Erend felt that he had to give Slimes more attention.

'Could you come here now?'

[ "Of course." ]

A moment later, a Slime appeared on Erend's shoulder.

Billy jumped in surprise at the presence of it.

"W-What is that?" Billy asked while pointing at Slime with a shocked and curious face.

"It's Slime. Do you remember when we were in the Elf castle that time? When the castle was broken into by the monster army?" Erend said.

"Yeah. So what? I don't remember ever seeing that."

"I thought you saw that. It was this Slime that helped you guys escape with the carriage that time."

"Oh. You mean before me, Cpt. Boartusk and Elis were caught by that red-horned monster?" Billy said with a bitter tone.

Even though it was quite a long time ago, the memory of the kidnapping still left a clear impression.

"Uhh... yeah. That time," Erend said. "Anyway. He can turn into me for... For how long exactly?"

Erend asked Slime.

[ "In this other world, I can only last for three hours." ]

Erend nodded after hearing his answer.

"For three hours, Slime will replace me. I might come sooner, though."

"Can it speak?" Billy asked Slime again.

[ "If I use Magic to talk, without anyone supplying me Magic, then the time to maintain form will be less and less." ]

Erend presses his lips together. 'This could be a problem.'

Erend conveyed what Slime said to Billy. Billy took a deep breath.

This is going to be difficult. However, it was still better than Erend not being present at the military base.

Billy took a deep breath while looking at the pink slime being on Erend's shoulder.

"Well," Billy said. "Whatever. I'll handle the rest."

Erend smiled. "I leave everything to you."

After that, Erend ordered Slime to turn into him.

Surprisingly, Slime can change to resemble Erend in exactly the same form. No one will know the difference.

"Whoa." Even Billy was amazed. "Maybe it would be easier than I thought."
