Isekai Sagishi no Consulting
Episode 326: Exploring the Wetlands
Don't go too far.
We move our legs carefully, we go through the swamp.
If you want to roll over, you'll have to go home naked.
For the time being, it seems that they have prepared change of clothes for me.
“Looks like it's getting deeper.”
Natalia, alone, was away from the group to investigate the depths of the swamp.
A straight stick of about two meters is pushed into the swamp.
Estella told me to stay away from that stick.
The wetland zone shall be located in the northwest of Ward 42.
It was like the northwest side, or the north side of the west edge.
The area is not that large.
Still, if you look at it, it's a huge swamp.
It is deepened to the west where there are cliffs, and to the south where it leads to a dense forest.
If you go beyond the primary forest on the south side, you will probably go out to a place where there is a sewage treatment plant.
I wanted to look over there and see if there was a loophole outside the outer wall... I don't think I could use this equipment.
I wish I had a wetsuit.
Once the mud toxins have been analyzed and the problem has been proven, I'll be ready to look into every corner of the swamp to see if I can get muddy all over my body.
”Tsk tsk... the smell is particularly ahhhhn”
Regina sniffs a smell of mud scooped up in a vial.
Sending the wind by hand is like being a scientist.
The colour is slightly grayish.
There is no oil floating, it is dull, but there is no smell, and there is not much discomfort.
Is it a little chilly?
Milly, are you okay?
"Uuuu, I'm fine." Ahhhh, Danmushi-san
Milly was scared of the wetlands because of her parents.
You seem to be using it normally now, but don't you feel any fear or stress?
Somehow, Tenmushi-san was preyed on and got nervous.
Was it that unique?
”Ahh, nnhh, but... eek, maybe it was a bit unique”
Fuck.
So if Milly's fears and fear faded, that's fine.
I'll never forgive the insects!
Is Magda all right?
"... I'm fine. It just feels strange."
Magda stands in the swamp and looks around.
It seems that they have never entered a wetland, so this is the first time they have seen a wetland.
"... I imagined a more gloomy and awful place"
Due to the gloomy and lush native forest, the area is dim even during the day, and the air is damp and cold.
But it's not that gloomy, because it's bright in the daylight.
I'm sure it's because of Yashiro-san.
I don't know. It's a fun ride to walk on.
"Who is it?"
What kind of translation is "machine"?
You got a ride?
"...... Interesting Machine No. 2. Can I have a minute?"
"Can't you stop, tiger's daughter?" My boobs are in a different category than the demon god Han. "
"... hahaha. Funny joke."
"At least, say it funny."
Magda laughs with absolutely no expression.... it doesn't look like I'm laughing, and I don't think I'm laughing.
"... that flower. It resembles the flower I saw in the woods outside." It's true, Medrama said it was poisonous. "
Which one? I'll show you around.
"... this way"
Magda leads Regina through the swamp.
Magda slowly moves forward, aware of the Regina behind her.
"Watch out!"
Maybe I was caught in the mud in the swamp, and the vines slipped and almost fell.
Regina stretches out her arms to support Magda's body.
Oh, that's unusual.
Magda seldom fell.
"... something's happening under my feet right now"
Magda grabs Regina's arm as she grabs her shoulder and stares into the swamp.
After a while, a bubble popped up on the surface of the swamp, and a round object about the size of a fist emerged from it.
"Puah..."
[Sweetheart], who looked like a potato with a big fist, opened his mouth and exhaled when he came out of the swamp, and dived into the swamp as if nothing had happened.
"What was that?!"
I stand guard against the giant catfish-like movements.
But Regina waves her hand to let me know she doesn't have to.
Her eyes seemed to be slightly radiant.
"It's all right. It was a creature."
No, I mean, you were inheriting!
I'm sure you're just surprised to see your tiger's daughter stepping on you.
I was surprised to be trampled on, but it's not a living thing.
"It's a kind of mandragon." It can only reproduce in nutritious soil, and it's a very fine herb. "
"... was it moving?"
"That's how it works. Mandragoers."
"...... it's a creature, isn't it?"
"Plants and animals"
I'm not convinced.
"The plants are also alive, right?" Danbushi-san
What's that?
You don't think I'm the only one who's convinced?
Does Milly accept that mysterious creature?
"Maybe, Milly." Does the Flower Guild even grow mandragon? "
"Ugh. Miri, this is the first time I've seen it. It's a strange plant."
... you've settled down for a while.
Just look at Chirari and Estella.
…………
I was either surprised or disgusted, clinging to Natalia.
Natalia also stared at the point where Mandragora sank with a look that seemed to ponder over what was going on.
Oh, good.
I wasn't the only one. I'm surprised.
Regina's acquaintance is even weird with plants, isn't she?
"Wait, hahaha, the woodpecker lady." I'll get to know you "
And unfortunately, you're an acquaintance of Regina's, Imelda.
You put yourself in the "weird" category.
And Magda, who stepped on that mandragon.....
…………
I was clinging to Regina's arm.
It seemed a little creepy.
My tail is getting fat.
Oh, I'm scared.
"It's okay, tiger's daughter Han." I don't want to cause you any harm. Well, sometimes I sing it out loud. "
That's enough harm.
If those creatures were singing in the swamp, I would be confident that I would be able to sing for three days and three nights.
I wonder if what Mandragora is doing is going to be polluted by the swamp here?
There seems to be a variety of Mandragoras, and it seems that the type of Mandragora you see now grows in places where the water quality is beautiful.
Some of them seem to be mandragons that only bloom in places stained with the blood of things that have lost their lives with resentment. It seems to be used in magic.... hey, hey.
"Ahh, that's nice." The ingredients of the mud were examined and taken from the mud and returned home. "
Regina mourns that she has to miss out on the high-end materials she found in the corner.
It is said that the mud here becomes harmful as soon as it leaves the wetland, so it is impossible to suddenly take out the muddied mandragon.
If we can investigate the mud here and prove that there's no problem, I'm sure he'll come and get it.
But, don't you think Mandragora screams when she pulls out and dies when she hears about it?
That's the curse grass [Ju-uku], right?
Curse grass... what kind of miserable category is that?
What else do you have? I don't even want to hear it.
"By the way, burns"
Regina walks around, looking at all of us.
It's okay if I try it out and see how much it's naturally grown?
How many mandrakes have grown here before?
He wants to see it.
How do you make sure?
Could it be that they were going around the bottom of the swamp?
Well, we'll proceed with our investigation--
Well, I guess we should just let them go.
Estella throws her gaze at me and I draw my conclusions.
I'll call you when something happens, and if I don't go far by myself, I'll be fine.
I thought so and replied casually... but I wish I hadn't.
Look, I think you'll be a little surprised, so just be prepared.
As soon as she said it, Regina put her index and middle fingers on her lips and said, "Pee-pee!” he whistled with his high-fingered fingers.
The high-pitched sound of the tympanic membrane keenly follows the wetland.
Then, from the side of the swamp, Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Kopokopokopokopokopokopokopokopok, bubbles rise up.
No, no, no, no!
Lots and lots and lots and lots!
The bubbles gushed up from the bottom of the swamp as they filled the surface of the swamp where we stood, and the next moment, a mandragon with a texture like a fistful of potatoes emerged one after another on the surface of the water.
”Puah”
Puahaha
”Puah”
”Piyaa”
”Puah”
"Puah" "Puah"
"Puah", "Puah", "Puah"
"Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah"
"Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah", "Puah",
Oooooooo!
From afar, from nearby, Mandragora comes out of her face, opens her mouth-like indentations, takes a breath, and dives into the swamp again.
What a mess, Mandragora!?
Estella and Imelda all came together and said, "Aaahhhhhhhh!?" With a girlish scream, Natalia unusually distracted herself like she was holding her arms, Magda turned her head upside down, and I said, "Giaahhhh!” Milly exclaimed loftily, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”
...... Milly. Actually, I wonder if you're a little strange?
Aren't you mistaken about the Numeri bugs or the bugs or the reaction?
In the meantime, we've decided to leave the swamp and take a break on land until the rampage of the heart subsides.
Regina, you're kidding me.
In the meantime, I'm going to beat the suspect with a complaint as I exhale my bellyburned mood.
No, I didn't think I'd be around that much, did I?
Regina slapped her head in the face, but her expression was dumbfounded.
It seems to be a pretty good material, and I want to finish the mud analysis and come to get it.
Even so, what number is it?
They don't move on their own, do they?
"Come out, come out, come out." Floating and sinking by manipulating the oxygen inside the real thing is fantastic. "
That's not good enough, though.
"There are frogs here, eating them."
Ah, that might be there.
Regina shows a certain empathy for Estella's casual remarks.
"Even if you eat that mandragon raw, it's delicious." Nay, it tastes like persimmons when you say it in a systematic way
If that's the case, I'll have persimmons for the wax.
Me, too.
... by the way, there is a legend in Japan that if you leave the ripe persimmon unattended for a long time, it will turn into a monster called Tankororin.
And that Tankorolin is going to become a big entrance road.....
That mandragon won't grow into a giant monster, will it?
"Yo, you know yourself!?" Well, it's rare, but if you meet certain conditions and something really coincidental overlaps, it rarely grows into the finest material in Mandragon. It's been seen about four times in the last hundred years. "
Four times a hundred years... it's a high frequency!
”... you're not going to walk, are you?”
"Walk, fly..."
You're almost a demon beast!
"It's okay. Harmful."
What level do you call "harm"!?
There's no such thing as a safe bet if you don't kill yourself!?
Even the "Puah!" earlier was quite a [harm]!
Look. Magda's scared to go into the swamp.
Ah, no! Tiger's daughter Han said that the flower was different from the poisonous grass outside the forest, so don't worry
That flower, which MEDRAD said resembled a poisonous weed, is a very similar one.
It seems that the shape of the leaves is completely different, and it is easy to distinguish if someone has knowledge, but the ordinary people do not know the difference.
Miri, I don't know, I don't know
Milly is familiar with the plants managed by the Flower Guild, but she's not familiar with the weeds and plants that live in the forest outside.
That's true... I mean, this wetland is soil close to the forest outside?
This nearby forest was managed by the Flower Guild before the catastrophe, right?
That's why they offered to accompany Milly this time, because of the insect breeding plants.
Well, the groundnut guild managed part of the south side, and the forest to the north and the river was an agricultural guild orchard.
Milly seemed to be like that when she was still a child.
Speaking of which, I once walked into the woods across the river with Delia and picked an akebi.
Was that a farming guild?
But it's already lapsed.
Lapse?
If you can't manage the land for a year, it will be returned to the lord.
Estella will tell you about the system.
"The land in District 42 is treated as a lease from the lord to the people, but each of them is responsible for managing the land."
If you can't manage it, the land will get rough.
In particular, the forest where the magic grass was native would be terrible if left alone.
"So if you decide that you can't manage it properly, or if it becomes difficult to manage it continuously, you will return the land to the lord."
The wild disease of the wetlands raged, and most of the land on the west side was returned to the lords.
As an administrator, you will be afraid to manage a land where there may be a virus, and if the crops harvested there are not sold, you will want to let go of the land.
Lending would be subject to appropriate taxes.
Is that why you were able to attract the Woodcutter Guild and secure land for the sewage treatment plant smoothly?
There was no caretaker around here, it was the lord's land.
So, Delia manages the whole river?
If the water seems to be overflowing, suppress the rebellion with a sandbag, or take measures if the water becomes scarce. Apart from the mission of protecting the river as a river fishing guild, it was also the duty of the land manager.
... well, I don't know if Delia understands the obligations, the lending, the little tricky things.
Somehow I feel like I'm continuing the trail for the reason that "my father was doing it".
When the serious illness subsided, didn't you say you wanted to control it again?
It's quite a big forest, so if you manage it properly, it's likely to generate profits.
"It's a land I let go of once" "I can't control" "... so I'm going to borrow it again..."
Is it distracting to ask me to lend it again because the disturbance has subsided where I abandoned it at my own convenience?
Because I think it will be abandoned again if the same thing happens next time.
But it's Estella, isn't it?
I don't think he cares about that kind of thing.
"I'm also willing to lend it whenever I have an offer... but, well, there are a lot of circumstances."
"Ugh. There's a bit of a shortage of manpower right now..."
Manpower?
Certainly, managing the forest is very difficult... by the way, when there was a shortage of water, the Flower Guild was in a very close position.
What the hell is that... oh, I see.
"A wave of aging?"
"Everyone is still young!?"
Milly pressed her index finger against her lips and complained, "Shhhhh!"
I see, I see.
The big sisters are about the age when their legs and hips are weakening.
It's kind of hard to manage a wide forest.
Actually, about two years ago, there was also a conversation about recalling Neck and Tick.
Neck and Chick were originally the sons of their parents in the fresh flower guild of the 42nd ward, and farming in the 40th ward was not going well at the time.
If you're short-handed, it would be a good choice to recall a young man with some experience.
"But, neck and ticks, you're doing really well, and now you seem to be busy."
However, before the story was settled, a method of utilizing sugar radishes was found, and the neck and ticks became a large farmer that could not be pushed or stamped.
Nowadays, there are no celebrities in the 40th arrondissement or neighboring arrondissements who don't know the names of Brothers Neck, Chick, and Carey.
"When my dreams came true, I took over my parents' will and talked to the big sisters, saying that Neck and Tick seemed happy, so I couldn't."
"... if Magda says so, can you call me back immediately?"
"Yes, I think I'll be able to recall you for real, Magda, so please take care of yourself." Because there is a conflict between the peddlers' guild and the peddlers' guild
Estella closes in on Magda with a frustrating look on her face.
That's right.
The Arikui brothers are Magda believers, and they'll come back with two things.
I don't think I'm obsessed with money.
That said, it seems that Milly-san is the fastest to take her son-in-law and increase her manhood.
"Ahhh!? Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Miri, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..."
For now, it looks like Javier will be caught the moment we recruit him.
"It's okay because you lose your qualifications the moment you catch it." Miri-san is limited to [survivors], isn't she? "
Oh, I see.
I wonder if it will fall off.
"That's why, ah... the management of the forest is a bit more... for Estella-san..."
“You're right, you don't have to rush. But one day, when the groundnut guild grows bigger, I'll ask you again."
"Hmm. When Miri grows up, I'll boost the groundnut guild even more, so wait until then."
Milly boosts the Fresh Flowers Alliance.
Gathering the missing men means...
"...... Milly's declaration of a bad girl?"
"No, Maggie!?"
Huh, isn't that right!?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Isn't that right!?
"Oh noo! Everyone do it!"
Ahahh, you're healing me ~
It's probably only a matter of time before the shortage of men is eliminated.
Natalia's analysis may not have come off.
The men of the 42nd arrondissement are about to reach adulthood.
The day may come when those who have the freedom to leave their parents behind will swarm into the groundnut guild for Milly's sake.
Like the wooden dwarfs who heat up Imelda.
Well, all candidates need to pass my interview!
My Milly can't do it that easily.....
When we saw Milly shining, we healed her abrasive heart with a mandrake shock, and we resumed our investigation.
"...... Yashiro"
We took a short break and resumed our investigation into Numashi.
Shortly after the resumption, Magda grabs and pulls the hem of my clothes.
"... over there"
"What's going on over there...?"
Magda pointed toward a giant tree in a deep shade.
A thick trunk dips into the swamp, and the branches that lost their leaves are still vigorously spread out into the sky.
As you can see at a glance, the giant tree has completely withered.
And yet, he stood firmly in the swamp.
Three of them gathered together.
"Is that the three dead trees?"
"...... it was properly left."
Is it nice to be able to report to Ginetto? Magda's tail is stretching out.
It was much bigger than I had imagined.
Because it is a dead tree that grows in the swamp, I imagined something more unreliable, but the trunk is also thick, and the jump kick is not likely to twitch.
A withered but powerful ancient tree that seems to be depicted in a Halloween illustration. That's the impression.
Would you like to take a closer look?
"... an investigation is necessary"
Magda shows an interest in the place where Ginette began.
Send a signal to Estella and walk with Magda towards you.
"... I stepped on something"
"Huh... is that another Mandragora?"
"... no, it's more solid."
I'll stretch my legs to the bottom of Magda's staring.
It has a firm and hard feel in the soft mud.
This is a dead tree root.
"... vigorous"
A dead tree with firm roots.
Is this guy really withered?
"Maybe it's a breed like this."
"Maybe there is." Maybe it's a tree with no flowers or leaves. "
Is there such a tree?
"No, I don't know..."
Please don't bother me.
"I haven't had a good time!"
Estella, the lord of Ward 42, and Imelda, the lady of the woodworkers, said they had never seen this giant tree.
"Regina, do you know anything about this tree?"
”Nhh... I feel like I've seen it somewhere...”
Put your arms together and twist your neck.
"Akan. It's taking me so long to get out of here."
and your buttocks are stiff.
"Will you cum from the top when you cum?"
Pull back. Pull back.
As a woman who falls into the ladies category!
"Ahh..."
With that, Milly looked up at the dead tree and let out a small voice.
I looked up at the dead giant tree, which was losing its leaves but still spreading its branches, and my big eyes were shaking.
"...... Soleil"
"Ahh, no! Soleil!"
When she heard Milly's words, Regina said, "Oh my God!” He slaps his butt.
"My hand! It's your hand that claps when you flick, Regina!"
It's noisy, Estella-san.
"It's not my fault, is it?!"
Leave the noise to Imelda, and I'll look up at Milly and Regina, the dead giant trees they're looking up at.
This bark, this uro.....
It reminds me of a scene that I burned in my eyes so that I would never forget.
A large orange flower blooming proudly on a large tree.
Soleil.
... That's right.
Although the leaves and flowers are gone, this tree is definitely a soleil tree.
Was Ginette protected by Solaire?
The words that came to my mind spilled out of my mouth.
“Maybe that's why her smile is like the sun.”
Estella replies to words she didn't send to anyone.
Soleil is also known as the Sun Flower.
Speaking of which, Ginette told me that when you were a kid, your grandfather came home with a strange soleil.
A rare flower soleil that dies in an instant if it is picked, and dies in no time if it is not picked.
It's amazing that I 'brought it back'... but, no way, it's from the tree here?
No, I don't think so.
In the first place, I don't think that flowers will bloom in this dead tree.
There are no leaves.
It just so happens.
It is a con artist and a frivolous religious man who forcibly tries to fabricate "miracles" and "destiny".
Even Ginette doesn't know that these three dead trees were Solaire trees.
Ginette's love for Soleil stems from her memories with her grandfather.
Ginette-chan was here, wasn't she?
Looking at the roots of the three dead trees, Estella says:
Imagine for a moment.
Ginette from a young day......
”...... Puffy-puffy ~”
It shouldn't have been that big back then!
"Oh my God, Master Estella!" The store manager is sloppy empty!? "
I'm not flying!?
"... dangerous, the store manager is falling"
”Hyuuu... nn”
Po, nnhh
"... glad you're okay."
"You're breathing perfectly, you three!?"
If I imagine Natalia and Magda, imagining a childhood ginette, Estella would interrupt me.
If you want me to let you in, you should say so.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the manager's a-hey.
"Please stop rubbing gestures while saying!"
They seemed to be over there, delusional.
"It's too late for that rotten pharmacist."
"Terminal stage of..."
It's sad, isn't it?
"I'll give you the word '50 paces'."
Hell, that's why Estella.....
"Fifty steps, but if the average underbust size of a woman is 70cm, if the top bust is 100cm, it's an I cup, but if it's 50cm..."
"... soak up the heat"
It's totally different, 50 and 100.
"I'll leave you guys in the middle of three dead trees!?"
I'll go home on my own!?
Fifty steps, by the way.
"Who's got a 20cm pole?!"
Regina, who suddenly made things her own, and Estella, who also responded firmly to such a changing ball, fought back.
You guys can make a good convenience store! I don't know.
Has the store manager thrown it away here?
Yeah, that's what Sister said, Ginette-san.
"... I see."
Having said that, Regina turned her head to the west.
To a cliff on the border with Thirty District.
If you threw it off the cliff, it would be too far away.
"Huh?... yes, that's right."
Regina tells us to turn to the cliff.
Sure, there's plenty of distance from here to the cliff. It's a visual, but is there a hundred meters?
Even if you throw it as much as you want, it's not likely to reach this far.
Even if I drew a parabola during the fall, I wouldn't have flown this far.
No matter how much you say you're going to throw my child away, do you think you're going to throw my child away so violently?
It must be Sekinoyama who dropped it so hard.
If you fall off the cliff, it's the deepest part of the swamp. The water lands just in front of the cliff.
Actually, I was.
The wetlands are dotted with swamps of various sizes.
We're in the biggest swamp, but I think the first thing I fell was a slightly smaller swamp.
I fell into the swamp, crawled out of the swamp, and there, I witnessed a flock of strange frogs sitting in the swamp.
When I remembered it, my body trembled a little.
"Perhaps you've walked in, Jinzan." Soleil, I like it. "
"I don't think so." Ginette started liking Soleil after she started living with her grandfather. "
Reminds me of a conversation I had with Ginette.
Ginette must have been picked up by the church when she was three.
If you're a three-year-old, you can walk around here with your own legs... would you like to come into the swamp?
Well, there are kids who love puddles, and I don't deny the hypothesis that Ginette liked to go into the swamp.
How many parents can throw a three-year-old off a cliff?
No, if it's a baby, I'm not going to say anything like that... but when I'm three years old, my ego will be sprouting, and I don't want to do anything unpleasant, and I wonder if I'll resist if I can do any harm?
Besides, if the magic of the Spirit God's mercy were in this wetland, Ginette would have fallen unscathed beneath the cliff, so we would have quickly escaped this shady place in search of her parents.
When the kid stays put, he doesn't leave the place.
I'll be right back, just wait here.
--When I was told that, wasn't it?
It's a habitual way for parents to abandon a child who is somewhat older and has an ego.
Even in Japan, there are a small number of children who have been abandoned in this way.
If that were really the case.....
Maybe Ginette's parents were in District 42.
If they were thrown off the cliff, their parents could be from the 30th arrondissement or other arrondissements that know about the wetlands....
If you come in and leave it in the wetland, will it not be so?
“I don't know. It could have been a kind parent I couldn't get off the cliff.”
Is a kind-hearted parent leaving a child in a wetland?
"There's a lot of things going on here."
Well, it's in every country, every world.
That is beyond reproach.
Unless it's an irresponsible waiver.
"It's Ginette's parents." I'm sure he was very kind. "
"I don't inherit my personality."
I don't know.
"Yes, Master Estella will inherit his mother's personality and become a mother who will continue to curse her daughter's development every night."
"That evil tradition will end with my generation!"... eh, it was every night!? "
The fact of the shock that comes from Natalia.
... I didn't think it was every night, but you knew it was cursed.
Did you grow up to be loved? I'm starting to get a little nervous.
Anyway, speculation is speculation.
"That's right. All I can tell you is that the three dead trees looked fine."
The thoughts we've made can wave Ginette's mind into mischief.
You can tell me if you need anything someday, but you don't have to tell me if you don't.
Ginette was picked up here by Bertina, who grew up lovingly with her mother and her father's grandfather.
That's enough, the truth is nothing.
Jinnetsu-san, you're protecting me, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Milly lowered her head to three dead trees and gently stroked the bark.
It was probably my imagination, but I felt that the dead tree had shaken the branches a little bit.
Well, maybe it's because of my imagination.
After checking the three dead trees, we headed deeper into the wetlands.
This swamp looks deep.
I left the large, shallow swamp with three dead trees and came to the swamp close to the cliff of the 30th ward, but this swamp seems to be deeper than the swamp earlier.
Speaking of which, the swamp I fell in was about my knee.
Don't go in with the boots we're wearing.
It would be good if I had a rubber head, but I don't have such a product.
If the mud here proves to be harmless, I can get a little dirty in there.
There's grass growing in this swamp, isn't there?
Milly peered into the swamp.
Dark green aquatic grass floated on the surface of the swamp.
I don't know if it grows from the bottom of the swamp or drifts.
Speaking of which, when I fell into the swamp, my ears were stuffed with aquatic plants.
... so this swamp is my fallen swamp?
Can I focus on this area for a moment?
Fine, but is there a reason?
Did you feel the possibility of breaking the status quo without clues? Estella looked at me with the eyes she had hoped for.
Well, maybe that's why.....
I don't know if I need to check it out, but it could be the swamp I fell in.
Hey, here it is.
No, that's why I'm not sure.
"When I fell out of the cliff into the swamp, there was a frog there."
When I fell into the swamp, I felt the signs of a frog as soon as I woke up.
And I met the frog without time.
They were then surrounded by countless frogs.
I get the impression that it was under surveillance.
If you think about it now, those countless frogs that just showed up and didn't do anything about it might have been watching the foreign object that entered my wetland.
"When I put my face out of the swamp, there were frogs there." I met with the Parrot Clan just then, and I saw the Beast Clan for the first time, so I thought he was a Frog Clan, so I spoke to him. "
"The frog tribe... I've never heard of it before"
Well, if you didn't know that, then you can't help it.
Really? What does that frog say to me?
No, it was just a rumble.
“Of course, because frogs don't understand the language.”
Natalia says, and people around her look like they deserve it.
... but is that true?
“You may not be able to talk, but you do understand, don't you?”
In fact, the man who was frogged by the Goughlord fled in fear of the Goughlord's threats.
The threat made sense because you understood the language.
Besides, even though I was a frog, I understood what I was saying even if I couldn't speak.
"However, since the frog is outside the protection of the spirit god, [Forced Translation Magic] should not be effective." I might be able to understand words from the same linguistic region, but I don't think it's such a coincidence. ”
In other words, Natalia concludes that the frog cannot understand words.
"It's probably because of what Yashiro just said about the Goughlord. I think he was just frightened by the man's loud voice and appearance."
Sure enough, it was full of power.
It was like concentrating the evil of the world, that guy.
But I don't think so either.
Because I don't think that Gorotsuki, who I turned into a frog, understood the same language as me - Japanese.
However, Gorotsuki clearly understood the words when he was a frog.
That's why I was able to throw the yakitori skewers into the dumpster, and after returning to humans, I was able to change my way of life by 180 degrees.
"... do you have any reason to deny it?"
Look at my face, Natalia asks.
When I glanced at Estella, I shook my head quietly.
Seems like the idea that I turned Gorotsuki into a frog isn't quite right yet.
Well, I'll tell you individually whenever you need me.
Well, anyway, I saw an incredible herd of frogs around here.
Huh, wasn't it just one of them?
Yeah.
As you can remember, I moved my fingers around the edge of the swamp.
"You were lining up around the swamp."
”Huh!?”
Did you imagine what I said? Estella screamed as she rubbed her arms.
Miri and Imelda turned pale in the same way.
Didn't you do something?
”Nothing in particular... well, I ran away with a dash”
I was scared even if I didn't do anything.
But now...
“We can win now! Magda and Natalia are here!”
"I'm not here to sell fights."
Idiot. Retribution.
Whether it's a frog or a plant that eats me, you're going to harm me from over there.
Maybe I could try again a little.
“Aside from the jokes, I think there's some kind of trace.”
Any trace will tell you where the frog normally lives.
Once we know that, we should be able to imagine the extent of their actions.
I'm also concerned that I haven't seen a single frog so far.
It's already been quite some time since we stepped into the wetlands.
Despite that, we haven't seen a single frog.
Magda's ears are moving frequently, so I may be looking for signs, but it seems to have ended unexpectedly.
There's not even a sign of a frog here.
I really want to suspect that there are frogs living here.
If I hadn't witnessed a huge number of frogs here myself, I might not have believed it.
Maybe he really ran out through that cave.
"That's right... I don't have any frogs to think about."
Estella and the others seemed to be wondering.
Walk past this quiet wetland.
"Anyway, I hope we can find some kind of trace..."
Wreckage of food presumably eaten by frogs, tracks on the ground.
"--even if their clothes are scraped."
Even though I live in a place like this, I would wash my clothes if I were wearing them.
And there are quite a few trees in the wetlands.
They might be hooked to a tree branch and torn.
I may be throwing away clothes that I can't wear anymore.
Cloth products are dirty and torn, but they are not easily returned to the soil.
I've seen mysterious remains that turn black and lose their prototype.
In the mountains, rivers and woods.
If you find something like that, it will prove that there were frogs here.
A frog's nest could be in the vicinity.
I thought so.
"... clothes?"
Everyone else saw it with strange eyes.
What the hell?
Even frogs wear clothes, don't they?
In fact, the first frog I saw in the swamp was dressed.
That's why I mistook you for a frog.
A frog doesn't wear clothes, does it?
But Estella denies my feelings like that.
“The frogs don't understand the language, they lose their intelligence when they were humans, and they just live quietly like wild animals. You don't have to make clothes to wear them."
No, but the truth is...
“Who gives clothes to frogs in the first place?”
That's right.
The frogs will have all their property confiscated.
Not only the money, but everything I wore.
The Godfred also recovered the item worn by the man who had become a frog with a happy face and made it his own.
The clothes are taken away.
Of course there is no money.
So how about we build one? But we can't do that in a wetland like this, where there's only a swamp.
Did you happen to pick up the fallen clothes?
Was it falling?
In a place like this, where no one stepped in?
Someone went camping and forgot to change? I don't know.
So, the frogs are out in the wetlands?
I don't think so either.
At least I've never heard of a frog outside the wetlands.
If there were a frog, it would be more fussy.
From what I've seen in the harbor, the carpenters' reaction to the frogs, I'm sure it would be a commotion. And such a commotion will be remembered, and someone will be talking about it at some timing.
"Watch out for frogs around here."
This... how should I interpret it?
After all, there seems to be a big discrepancy between me and the rest of the 42nd Ward.
Interpretation of the law on frogs.
Impressions about this wetland.
And then--
The Spirit Gods are inconsistent in how they feel about existence.
