Chapter 78

Re-Summoned Hero Episode 78

Summary of the last chapter in three lines

Competing to gather material .
Good books are aligned .
So which one wins? And then they fight anyway .

After they return to the mansion from the library, they start to discuss the information they got in the mansion’s living room .
A large paper is prepared on the table as they decided to write the important information while they talk about it .
「Then, I’ll start listing the point I found first . 」
「Okay, I’ll take care of the writing then . 」
Souta takes the pen and prepares to write .

「The information I got was mainly about the dragonkins . Since they lost their hero a thousand years ago, their whereabouts no longer can be seen in history . 」
Souta who had collected the information about the dragonkin also nods, agreeing with Dina .




「Seems so . That’s also the information I got before . None of the books I read have some information about their whereabouts . 」
Dina also nods back .
「Yes, since I couldn’t get another information, I was convinced that nothing is wrong with that, but from the book I borrowed from the librarian this afternoon, I read a story from slightly different perspective . 」

「Those two… Seems like they’re better than I thought . 」
Souta, once again, impressed by the two who was able to prepare the books despite their ambiguous description .
「First of all, it seems the dragonkin drops a gem at the time of their death . It’s written that the gem’s size is proportional with the owner’s age . 」
「Hmm…… Then that guy’s gem should be quite large . He was over 500 years old at that point after all . 」
「Right . With dragonkin’s battle maniac nature, they should be rarely able to live their full lifespan . 500 years old should be pretty rare . 」
His figure which is an experienced fighter among the heroes appears in both of their mind .

「Continuing . It’s a gem, but for the gem that is hundreds of years old, it seems to be exist as a national treasure for the race . It has enormous amount of magic power and part of the memories are sealed inside it . It seems there were many who know about this trying to target it in the past . 」
Upon seeing the changes in Souta’s expression when he hears the part about memories, Dina nods .
「I thought about the same thing . Just like how I got my brother’s memories via Pair Connect, it’s possible dragonkin also got the information about the outcome of the battle via that gem . And the reason they went into hiding, I believe it’s to protect that gem . 」




Souta tilts his head while writing Dina’s opinion .

「Hmmm… . I also thought so… But how did that gem reach the dragonkin? Moreover, if it’s only part of the memories, it’s possible that the “part” is not about our last fight . I feel like we lack just a little bit of information . 」
「It might the other person I saw in my brother’s memories . That person might be the one who handed over the jewel and information to the dragonkin . 」
Souta feels that there is a possibility for that to be true when he compares it with the information he has .

「Though, if we decide that the information about the dragonkin to be true, then it might be the reason in the course of a thousand years, the dragonkin never lead a war against the human, even though they have a reason to do so . 」
Sota raises his head as he finishes writing Dina’s opinion .
「That’s possible . So we need to look for the whereabouts of the dragonkin . The problem is……」
「The whereabout… Right . Maybe we can find it if we know who gave the gem to the dragonkin . 」

Souta shakes his head .
「I’m in favor to look for that person, but whether the person, or his descendant know about it…… It might not be that easy . In the first place, dragonkins have a strong ties between their own race . They would be trying their best to not leak any information about their whereabouts, as it involves the safety of their friends and family . 」
「Is that so…… So I guess, it will really difficult . 」




Dina drops her shoulders and looks down .

「Don’t look so down, at least wait until you hear what I gather . It’s about the gnomes . 」
Dina showing a large reaction hearing Souta’s remark, she immediately raises her head .
「You guessed right . Your theory is most likely right . 」
Souta grins toward Dina .
「First of all, since the Elder dies a thousand years ago, their race seems to came apart, scattered and live in small settlements across the continent . It’s said their behaviour is because their small bodies and inferior physical power compared to other races . 」
「In those days, every gnomes come together under Elder-san and formed a state right? So that means once he dies, the nation he made fall apart?」

After thinking for a bit, Souta answers Dina’s question .
「… It’s possible, but it feels strange that the Elder didn’t give further instructions before he went to the journey . Well, it’s possible with his death, his family also came into disagreement . 」
Dina also replies to Souta after thinking a little .
「Hmm… It’s possible for that to happen… But will they really keep fighting even to the point they ignored Elder’s instruction?」
「Yeah, I already thought so . But, as I don’t know the actual information, we can only make assumption for now . Still, it’s strange if they just fall apart just because of in-fighting . So I assume, just like you and me, the Elder had also survived . 」
Dina nods enthusiastically .

「If it’s him, then it’s no wonder he knows about the dragonkin gem, and I can see why he brought that gem to the dragonkin . Moreover, it’s easier to believe if Elder was the one who scatter his race . 」
「If so, the dot is connected… But that’s only assuming if the Elder was alive . I hope there are some evidence supporting this out there . 」
「Ahh that’s only if our information stop at this point . I searched for other things and found a bit information from the history of beastman . 」
「Beastman?」
Dina talks with a finger at her mouth .

「Just like the dragonkin, the beastman are also a battle maniac race . However, even though their relationship with human are bad, they seems to never wage a war against human race . 」
「That means, they have some reason just like the dragonkin?」
「Most probably . And so I tried to look for it from various books, and…… apparently there seems to be a story from the beastman countries that’s different from the story passed in the other countries . Although the story is now become a mainstream fact, in beastman’s story, it’s said that the different world hero repatriated earlier and dragonkin hero, elves hero, and beastman hero were killed by other person . And the name of the author of that story is Grevin . 」
Dina gasped when she hears that name .

The name of the Elder is Gregor Marvin . He’s usually called as Greg or Marve . Souta’s party, however, made a nickname for him and end up calling him Grema . At that time, the other name proposed by the party and rejected by the Elder himself was Grevin .
