Chapter 104: Port City Blumen and sandy beach
Author note:
I'm sorry for the lack of explanation about the horse battle yesterday. I'll put in a detailed explanation of horse combat. I'm busy with real life, so please give me some time to fix it.
---------------------------------------------
As Lily and Setia were groggy, I changed to Ion and Hiyori. Ion seems to be relieved when I tell Ion about the situation.
"Ah, it was dangerous...I will not ride with Lily"
Ion. I don't think that's going to happen, you know? Because in my mind, Ion is already becoming Lily's caretaker. At the very least, Ion should be the one to control the horse.
So, with that out of the way, we moved along the coast. Then we found a port town. I looked it up in the library in Freetia and it was called the port town of Blumen. When I heard this name, I thought it might be Bremen. I guess they changed it on purpose.
The first thing I see when I enter this Blumen is lizardmen. They are overwhelmingly numerous. The next thing I notice is the seamen. They are so ugly. There are legions of them in sea pants and loincloths. Are all ages okay? I'm mentally damaged, okay?
""...""
Ion and Koihi are mute at the sight of so many and they come over to hug me. I guess it's not a scene you can tolerate as a girl of that age.
But it's sad...Ion. It seems that this is the only port town, which means that hunting in the sea will be centered here. Ion will not be able to avoid it.
The first thing we need to do is gather information. The fish store seemed to be operated by an ordinary old man, so I decided to ask him some questions.
"Excuse me"
"Welcome! We've got an unusual customer here!"
Everyone's first reaction is the same. I'm getting used to it.
"I'm new to this town. I'm buying fish. Can I ask you some questions?"
"Oh! You're young, but you can talk. Good. Ask me anything"
Negotiation was concluded. Now, let's ask him some questions. Let's start with the wooden boats in the port that I'm interested in.
"Are boats the main form of fishing in this area?"
"Yes, of course. If you're good at it, you can dive and fish, but it's too dangerous. Then it's safer to fish with nets in a boat"
"Is it dangerous to fish?"
"Is older brother's purpose fishing? Unfortunately, it's better to stop. You'll end up skewered by a harpoon fish"
"Harpoon fish?"
Never heard of it. Is it a normal monster?
"Yeah, it's a fish with a harpoon on its head. It jumps out of the water and attacks you, so you can't really fish around here"
I see. I'm glad I gathered the information. If I hadn't known, I would have been attacked by this fish.
"Are there any other monsters that we should be careful of?"
"The dangerous ones are the big hermit crabs that come out on the beach. The other thing that is annoying is the Shifukudo. It steals the fish that people catch"
Ahh. That's annoying. Harpoons in the sea, thieves in the sky. Hermit crab is a hermit crab. It looks solid, but we have our trusty Kurogane. We came here to fish, but we'll do it after we kill the big hermit crab.
"Thank you very much. Now, please give me some horse mackerels, sardines and fishing bait"
Horse Mackerel: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality D-
A saltwater fish with a ridge of hard scales at the base of its tail.
Sardine: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality D-
This saltwater fish is a coastal migratory fish. It is known as a lean blueback fish.
"Thank you for your continued patronage! Brother, are you going fishing?"
"Yes. I thought there was nothing I couldn't do"
"Haha! You're a reliable brother! I like you! I'll give you some krill. You can catch horse mackerels on the embankment at this time of year"
This old man is a good man. I'll remember him.
As I headed for the embankment, Ion asked me with concern.
"Are you okay, Takuto-san? Fishing seems to be quite dangerous"
"Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean I don't have a hand in it"
"What are you going to do? It looks like it's hard to defend with a shield or something"
"Yeah. Maybe, but the durability value won't last. Or it penetrates the shield"
In any case, let's decide that it's better not to defend.
"Then what?"
"If they're just going to come at us, we'll just set a trap for them"
"Ah! I see!"
Ion seems to have understood what I'm trying to do.
However, at first I was aiming for hermit crabs. The members are Ion, Koihi, Gale, Hiyori and Kurogane. Originally, I wanted to include Setia, but she was down, so I had no choice.
Well, we arrived at the beach, but there was no one there. It's a quiet beach, but that's why it's a trap.
"There's something hidden in the sand. It's around there"
Koihi showed me the location of the hermit crab with her finger. So let's go for a preemptive strike.
"Flame Circle!"
As Koihis flame burns, a hermit crab carrying a large shell appears in the sandbox. Let's try to identify it.
Big Hermit Crab?
Tame Monster Subjugation Target Active
A tame monster...this guy. Too bad. I've always wanted to own a hermit crab. They're a hard size to keep, though.
At any rate, I have to defeat it.
"Atmosphere!"
"Gaaa!"
My Atmosphere, Hiyori's wind blade and Gale's lightning strike hit it. That's a lot of damage.
Eh? Isn't it weak? This guy?
That's what I thought at that moment, but this thing was troublesome in a different way. After taking some damage, it ducked into its shell.
Then our attacks had no effect at all. Moreover, when we approached it, it only produced an arrowhead and attacked us. I had Kurogane catch the arrowhead and tried to drag it out, but it didn't budge...well, what should I do? The debuffs are still effective in this state...there's some good magic...right?
"Poison!"
The Big Hermit Crab becomes poisonous. I win. By the way, I'm aiming for burns with Burst, but it looks like it won't get burned. Well, I'm going to shave it with poison.
Does it fall down from the poison? Or will it challenge me with the determination to crush my balls? The Big Hermit Crab pokes its head out of its shell and lunges at me.
I had to give this guy a second look. That's the way it's got to be. Ion and Koihi slash at the Big Hermit Crab.
But it still comes at me. It's got guts. It's a shame we can't make it one of us. In the end, it gets blown away by Kurogane's punch and then my, Koihi and Gale's magic and Ion's water blade finishes it off.
As I approach the Big Hermit Club to dismantle it, something comes from the sky. That's what the fish shop owner said, right?
"Hiyori!"
At my signal, Hiyori pounces on it. Hiyori attacks it on my signal and holds it down with her claws on the beach where we are. I'll try to identify it.
Shifukudo Lv7
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
It's a normal monster and its level is visible. Is it just a harassment monster? I approached the Shikufudo that tried to steal our prey that we had worked so hard to defeat.
"Did you think you could take the one we worked so hard to kill?"
Shifukudo turned pale. It seems to have realized its fate.
"Are you ready to be a roasted chicken? Then die. Burst!"
Shifukudo was engulfed in fire and died. That's where everyone except me, Ion and Koihi leveled up.
