Chapter 304: Black-spotted pond frog castle, capture battle
Japanese food culture is great. I have never felt this more than I do today. I have never felt so much relief from food that has been heated through.
I managed to recover from the terrible experience. I didn't eat a thing....ok, I'm logging in!
"Are you all right? Takuto-san"
"What? Ion? What did I do?"
"N, No! I didn't do anything!"
Ion matched me. She's a good girl.
"Takuto-senpai...is everything okay?"
"I want to pretend it didn't happen, so you should do that. If Lian had eaten it, wouldn't you be tempted to do the same?"
"Th, That's right! Understood!"
Lian seemed to agree with me. Okay, then, let's continue our quest.
"The king of the frogs has recently taken up residence here in the Nar Wetlands. He has been using the Frogs to build some strange buildings. The ones you met were the ones he sent out to scout the area, but it seems that when you get close to the buildings, you lose all sense of reason and go savage"
"Once you go wild, you can't go back to the way you were. All you can do is to let them rest in peace and not disturb others. We are sorry for the trouble we have caused you. On behalf of the entire tribe, I apologize"
It's the chief here who's talking to us. He is an old man, but he looks like a brave man who has fought many battles.
"It doesn't matter. What are you going to do about the Frog King?"
"I'm sorry, but we can't do anything about it. We will make a request to the Adventurers' Guild of Freetia"
Well, this is how it goes. The cause of the lizardmen going savage is apparently the boss's ability.
"Then, why don't you let us take on that request?"
"What? Is that good?"
"Yes. I'm still a Freetia adventurer"
"I see...okay. I believe in the strength of your people"
Info is coming.
Special quest Capture the Frog's Castle has occurred. Do you accept ?
Request Quest Capture the Frog's Castle: Difficulty D
Reward: Lizardman Spear
Conquer the castle built by the Frog King.
Yes, I'll take it.
"This guy will lead you to the Frog King. You got it?"
"Haa! I humbly accept the position of guide"
The rescued lizardman served as guide and we arrived at the castle of the black-spotted pond frog.
Seeing this, I said a few words. It's not a castle a frog could build...it's a normal Japanese castle design. Well, it's only a design, but the size is the same as King Kong's fort.
Then, let's go capture it. The members are Ion, Ribina, Loco Moco, Astel and Cinth.
Ion had heard the story, so she volunteered to settle the matter herself. I respected her wish.
Loco Moco, Astel and Cinth are not really suited for battle. However, I decided that it would be okay for this boss battle.
Because, I would find the enemy.
Retainer Frog Lv8
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
It's a frog with armor and a spear.
"Who geko!"
Kaito's information reveals that the enemy is only a rational male.
"Good evening! Frog-san! Let's have some fun with me"
Ribina announced this with a bewitching smile. This situation was the same as at King Kong's fort.
.........
......
...
This is the top floor of the castle of the black-spotted pond frog.
"My Lord~! My Lord~! Enemy attack, geko!"
"Don't panic, geko. This castle is impregnable, geko"
"They are already in the castle, geko!"
At this, the black-spotted pond frog is surprised.
"What the hell, geko!? What are those frogs doing, geko!"
"They're all lying on their backs, convulsing and dying, geko! The other retainer frogs are being knocked down one by one, geko!"
"What the hell's going on, geko? What's happening?"
"Explosion!"
It's too much trouble, so I blow open the door and enter the boss's room.
"It's you, geko! It is you who is raiding my castle, geko!"
"You're not trolling"
"Yeah. I just ate them all up"
In the end, we arrived here with only Ribina. We probably marked the fastest time.
Now, let's finish up.
"Don't think you'll get out of here alive, geko!"
When the Black-spotted Pond Frog croak, the Retainer Frogs emerge and come toward us. Then let's finish this.
"Ribina, please"
"Yes. I'll take care of the men"
In an instant, the Black-spotted Pond Frog and his Retainer Frogs are sucked dry by Ribina, who sucks their vitality and magic power.
"It was a treat"
"Wh, What, geko...geko?"
The Black-spotted Pond Frog finds Ion.
"Geko geko! Idiot! I'm still listening to this, geko"
The Black-spotted Pond Frog croaks. Ion approaches him.
"Geko geko! Now your dragonewt will be exactly as I want it"
"Ice Blade"
Ion stabs the Black-Spotted pond frog with her ice blade.
"Geko!? W, Why doesn't it work, geko!?"
"I am awakened by the blood of the sea dragon and your shrill voice should have no effect on me"
"S, Sea dragon puke!?"
This guy must have thought Ion was just a water dragonewt.
"I was going to finish you off with a single blow, but you tried to manipulate me. You are ready for this, aren't you?"
"Wa, Wait, ge"
"Sturm Edge!"
Ion holds up her sword and uses sturm edge. Ion runs around the black-spotted pond frog, the black-spotted pond frog is trapped in a whirlwind and Ion spins around, sword at the ready and slices the black-spotted pond frog to bits.
So this is sturm edge...a series of slashes while blocking the opponent's movement. It's quite a martial art.
The black-spotted pond frog was overkilled by Ion's new martial arts.
Thus, the black-spotted pond frog became the most dreary attack of our adventure.
Now, to dismantle it. If this is black-spotted pond frog meat, I'm going to be pissed.
Black-Spotted Pond Frog Meat: Rarity 4 Ingredient Quality E+
Meat from a black-spotted pond frog. It has higher nutrients and a stronger flavor than regular frog meat.
It just has a slightly different name! You've got to be kidding me!
Then I report to the chief lizardman and the info will come.
Mangrove Forest has been released
Now we can go to the Mangrove Forest. Furthermore, I got the reward for clearing.
Lizardman Spear: Rarity 4 Spear Quality E
Weight: 25 Durability: 40 Attack Power: 10
Effect: Water attribute up (medium), lizardman strength up (medium)
Lizardman's favorite spear. It has a water attribute and is strong against fire enemies.
When used by Lizardman, its strength is slightly increased.
It is almost a Lizardman-only weapon, but what should we do with it...this?
"Takuto-san, can you give me this spear?"
"I don't mind, but it's weak. This"
"I know. But I still want it"
Is she thinking of those Lizardmen who have gone wild? Then let's respect Ion's feelings.
"Okay"
"Thank you! Takuto-san!"
Ion's smile is the only thing that saved me.
Later, when I went back and tried to sell Ruin-san some frog meat, she gave me a disapproving look.
She said it is hard to sell everyones frog meat. I guess. But please. After that, I got a pair of shoes from Wako. That's it.
Water-resistant Snake Shoes: Rarity 4 Shoes Quality D
Weight 5, Durability 40, Defense +10
Additional Effect: Waterproof
Water-resistant shoes. They are especially resistant to water traps and are useful in wet areas because water cannot enter the shoes.
I thought after a rainy adventure, the inside of the shoes were sticky. I'll try them on as soon as possible. But I can't tell the difference at all. Then Mew-san, who makes a lot of shoes, talks to me.
"You can really feel the difference when you go to the Nar Wetlands"
"The Nar Wetlands, you see, were flooded by the rain"
"Ah~. I guess the field changes with the weather"
At any rate, I'm going to go outside. Oh? Only my shoes are not wet. I feel like this is a terrific sale to people who don't like water in their shoes. No, I want something more than that.
"Can't you make an umbrella or something? It's hard to get wet every time"
My one word causes Mew-san to react.
"That's it! I have a feeling this will sell! Ah, but the material would have to be anaconda skin"
Indeed, the image of an umbrella made of anaconda skin is pretty bad. Still, if the umbrella was finished, I thought I would buy it.
