Another quest, one for Cremea.

It was yet another quiet day in Axel Town, and Kazuma was humming to himself. Cremea approached him with a piece of paper in hand, and slapped it down on the table in front of him. "... what's that?" he asked.

"A quest, you dummy!" Cremea huffed.

"Why? We're sitting on enough money, aren't we? We can still wait out that Dullahan for easier ones..." Kazuma asked.

Cremea's eye twitched. "Are you saying you don't want even more financial security?" she asked bluntly. "Besides, the Dullahan could still attack the town any day, and we're going to need to get a lot stronger if we want to stand a chance of survival of that happens."

"I doubt it, he seemed like he didn't want trouble with us, even when he had an understandable reason for it, he dropped it when we promised to stop blowing up his castle," Kazuma yawned.

"That... That still doesn't rule out the possibility that someone else in town might accidentally piss him off in a way that he won't let go so easily!" Cremea grunted. "Or what if Megumin goes to blow up his castle again!? It only takes one day of us forgetting to keep an eye on her! Besides, this quest holds something of a personal ambition for me!"

"...fine, let's see..." Kazuma grumbled as he looked at the quest and froze. "...you have got to be kidding... You want to slay a blue dragon? Have you lost your mind? Kyouya might have been up to that with his magic sword, but you think we can pull it off?"

"Blue dragons, or ice dragons are weak to fire and Explosion magic, aren't they?" Cremea asked. "Because winter is near, one took up residence nearby, and someone needs to get rid of it before it starts going after livestock. Unless you want meat to get more expensive around here... Plus, it's currently a Lesser Dragon, so it's not as dangerous as its older brethren..."

"Okay, so why wouldn't you want to let Kyouya take care of it, I left him his sword, so it should be a breeze for him..."

"...I want the kill for myself," Cremea admitted.

"...come again?"

"There's a class I want to attain, called the Dragon Knight, which is able to tame and ride dragons, but to be eligible to advance into it, you need to not only be at least level 40, but you also have to have killed at least one dragon and eaten the meat. Which, by the way, gives a good deal of strength and EXP, and is valuable for that reason. I'm willing to cut you in on some of it."

"So let me guess, you want Megumin to weaken it with an Explosion, and you finish it off, and the rest of us are just backup?" Kazuma asked.

"Yes. This will get one of my requirements to get the Dragon Knight class out of the way if we're successful, so how about it?" Cremea asked. She then blushed and said, "I... May even reward you in another way if we pull this off..."

That of course perked Kazuma's interest. Now he was tempted.
