When I returned to the government office, many people gathered.

Everyone seems to want to ask if there is a locust hopper outbreak.

"It is not yet decided, we are collecting information. We have already deployed people in the desert so that we can get information one by one! If there is an outbreak or abnormal occurrence, I'm so anxious, but I'm cooperating with the extermination company, so stay calm. Don't go to the desert without mistake! "

Riddle is shouting and explaining to the crowd.

Because the voice is high, it passes well.

The guilds were contacted all at once, and the feared inhabitants may be rushing.

The town of Flora is far from the desert, and there are forests in between, so I don't think you'll know how much damage is going on.

Are there villages and towns near the meadow and worried about relatives?

I want information on the map about the desert area.

"Riddle! I just returned!"

Shake your hands and notice Riddle.

"Well! It's fast! Everyone, open the way! Hey! Ask me!

Surprisingly, Riddle pushed himself away and opened the way for me.

"How was the desert !?"

"No anomaly has occurred. But maybe the locust hoppers are gathering. Our employees are camping on the meadow. We'll be in touch if something goes wrong. "

"Well, it was a hard time. Come in! I'm going to get everything I'm told!"

Riddle said so and guided her to the government office.

The government office has already become the "Locust Hopper Error Occurrence Headquarters", and it is unlikely that ordinary business is done.

Is it normal for your business? Asked the female staff at the reception,

"No problem. Conversely, the church, which was disturbing the demonstration, just contacted me if I could do anything."

And returned.

"Be careful not to spread uncertain information in the town."

Says Riddle.

"So?"

I was taken to the basement and was surrounded by Riddle and a few men.

The basement, which should have been a warehouse, has been completely replaced by a countermeasure headquarters, and unnecessary luggage seem to have been carried away.

"First, take a look at this locust hopper. At the moment, it's not particularly aggressive, hasn't become a condition, and it's not outbreak."

I showed the locust hopper in the healer bottle.

"Where is this monster you got?"

One of the guys behind Riddle says.

Tall, dark skin and pointed ears. Is it a dark elf?

"Jeri! I'm sorry, my brother Jeri."

"Are you younger?"

"Oh, my father is a passionate person. Well, that story is good."

Probably a half brother.

Jeri looks at the locust hopper in the bottle.

"This locust hopper looks real, but it can be used by less-skilled monsters, such as insect demons ..."

"This is real. I just caught it in the desert."

"That's it! Just a day and a half, even if you use Fee Horse !? Brother, why do you trust this person?"

Jeri tells Riddle.

"Because I like the eagle, and I'm the only one who can help me. In fact, I brought the locust hopper that I said I'd bring it. Now it's time to ask anyone if possible. Do you think it is? "

"Isn't that a scammer's routine?"

"So, can you bring a locust hopper?"

"No, that's ..."

"If you're a scammer, you're a scammer and use it to screw down! That's Blacks!"

Jeri nodded "yes" and fell back.

"Naoki, I'm sorry. Don't be bad. I don't think I'm a scammer! Continue ..."

"Oh, yes"

Not good. Can you say money in this situation?

"I want to find a plant that smells like this locust hopper and doesn't get close ..."

"Oh, I collected florists all over the town."

"So, start experimenting right away."

I said and handed the whole bottle.

"Oh, oh!"

He explained that a simple experimental method was that it was only necessary to put the flowers one by one in a net.

"Naoki! Merged with Versa! 』

Aisle's voice was heard from the communication bag.

"Okay! We're about to start experimenting with pesticides in town."

"OK! I'll start over here

"I asked. Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing special. There are stars in the sky! "

"They'll still be fine. If you have anything, please contact me."

"Yes"

End the communication bag.

Jerry talked to the man next to him, "What is that?"

"Riddle! Shipwrights are coming!"

In exchange for Jeri, a female employee of the government came down the stairs.

"What is it?

"It seems that the adventurers who tried to escape hit the shipyard!"

"Jeez…"

Riddle held his forehead and turned down.

"Contact the adventurer's guild, Langley, and take over all the adventurers who attacked."

"understood!"

Having said that, the female staff tried to return to the stairs.

"Oh, wait a minute! Shipwrights have high skills in crafting, right?"

I asked a female employee.

"Huh? Yeah, maybe."

"Take me here. Riddle, let me help you with the pumps.

"Okay! Bring the shipwrights right away!"

Riddle told one of the guys behind him to bring his wallet.

"Um, what's the material for the pump?"

"It must be in that wooden box."

As Riddle said, the wooden box contained all the materials used for the pump.

Can I make 12 or 3 pieces if I use everything in the wooden box?

"Is it enough?"

Riddle asked anxiously.

"I wonder if I can make more than 10 pieces. I'll make it in a hurry. Can I get a map once? With the help of the peddling merchants who pass through the desert, where the flash floods go, where are the oasis? I want a map of the desert that is as detailed as possible, including the distance to the eastern mountains. ''

"Okay. Please arrange!"

Riddle orders the last man behind.

The man rushes up the stairs.

"Naoki, in the worst case, how many people do you think you need to get rid of?"

In the basement, where no one was left, and alone, Riddle leaned forward and heard.

"I don't know. Where it happens in the desert, how big it will happen, I don't have any information, but I'll do my best."

I said honestly.

"I think that's honest. Do you think you can actually stop everything?"

"That would be ... impossible. As long as it's human, it's impossible to prevent everything."

"Hmm ..."

Riddle closed her eyes and wrinkled between her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry"

"No, Naoki doesn't apologize."

"However, if we know the conditions and ecology, we may be able to stop it in advance."

"Hmm! I guess it's better to think over a long span. Therefore, this is the first step in eliminating the locust hopper outbreak. If possible, I would like to establish a method alone."

"Yeah, you are right"

"Specifically, I'm going to the desert. I'm going to go with a squad of exterminators, those who detect locust hoppers, those who respond to desert monsters, and those who recover."

Certainly, if you usually go to the desert, the exterminator alone cannot live alive.

"Assuming 10 pumps ..."

"I need more than 40 elites who can handle unexpected events in the desert."

It would be better to have a communication bag.

"Ah, here?"

Here, the shipwrights came down the stairs.

"Oh, did you come? Was the ship stolen?"

Riddle asked the shipwrights.

"Yes, it's okay. The sea is aging and we can't ship anyway."

One of the shipwrights answered.

"Is storm coming, even with aging?"

"Huh? Are you looking outside? A great storm is coming from the offshore."

In the words of the shipwright, Riddle and I looked away.
