Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Next, it was the Baron's hope that he wanted to paint a living man-eating giant (Auga).

"Are you a man-eater giant (orga)..."

And I hesitated to answer.

He is nearly three meters tall and wields a stick or other weapon with a force far exceeding that of man.

One has more fighting power than a flock of goblins, troublesome sometimes alone, or herded in a few.

If you can hunt a cannibal giant at a party, it's the gateway to a first-rate adventurer, the adventurers say.

I had never crusaded a man-eating giant in my five years of adventurous life because I knew what I was capable of, but the party of my original companions, who couldn't help but make a request, was devastated.

That's about it.

For a regiment of swordtooth soldiers, a man-eating giant crusade is not a difficult request.

All you have to do is discover the nest, attract it, shoot it simultaneously with a crossbowman, smash it with an axe spear soldier and make it stop.

This is the kind of request that has been successful many times before.

But the Baron wants to capture him alive.

That's how you want to observe the ecology alive and dissect it after killing it quietly, as you did to goblins and demon wolves in a recent investigation.

Is that possible?

Even if I dropped them in the pit, they would climb because they were tall and could use both hands.

It is also difficult to restrain them in chains if they have the power to grip the round-tails.

First, how do you disable it?

Imitation like beating up a goblin and stunning it would not be possible for a man-eating giant.

I don't know what I'm going to do, and when I turn my gaze to Jilboa,

"You need to talk to the person who develops the gear, but if you have some time to prepare it, it will be possible"

and nodded forcefully, although I avoided instant answers.

"Right! Can you! So, when can you do it! Next week? Next month!?

and the baron grabbed both fists and rejoiced all the way up.

"First, you have to wait three months."

and Jilboa held back the baron trying to move things forward suddenly.

"Why!? Why does it take so long?

The baron speaks up when he feels the opportunity has been hastened.

Even against such a baron, Jilboa does not break his manners, but explains them quietly without fright.

"First, we have to figure out how to capture a man-eating giant alive. To do this, we probably have to develop special poisons, dedicated toys, new traps, etc. First of all, I'd like two months for that. Then you have to actually try it on a man-eating giant (orga), measure its effectiveness and improve it if there is a glitch. So, another month."

"That's a long way off."

"But it's necessary. Otherwise, there will be injuries."

"Isn't it the adventurer's job to get hurt, too?

The baron leaks his dissatisfaction without giving up.

"If that's what you need. The members are my hands and feet, but their bodies are similar. I can't let you get hurt for nothing. And an injured person who leaves because he's unprepared is not necessarily a member."

To Jilboa, who said so, the Baron seemed to give up any further pursuit.
