Legend

Seeing the Lizardman children raw and round the fish, Dusker decided that the lake should be investigated as soon as possible.

But the same goes for the lake, but in this place where the Tower of Birth exists, it's a difficult place if you ask who to leave the investigation to...

"So, you want us to investigate?

"That's right. I understand, of course, that the investigation of that hand, including Ray, is not in the line of duty. So I'm not going to ask you to do a perfect investigation into anything. It's just a story to the best of our ability."

To Ray's words, that's what Dusker returns.

It was Ray trying to say something to a Dusker like that, but if Dusker was asked about loading paperwork up to the carriage and coming to the lake while doing paperwork, there's no way he could speak of dissatisfaction.

If you ask me who's the busiest person in the Guild at the moment, it's definitely Dusker, because I can assure you so.

Not to mention the fact that Ray also feels more than aware that he's throwing all sorts of problems round Dusker. If it's such a request from Dusker, I feel like I can do it enough to hear some impossibility.

"I mean, I'll do the lake survey as far as I can while escorting the tower of birth," he said.

"Don't be. Naturally, I pay more than just adding a new job."

For Dusker, the status quo is definitely as much work as it does not diminish.

Still, I should say that I am fortunate to be unhappy, or that I have no difficulty paying the adventurer because tax revenues can be expected more than usual in relation to the massive gathering of people.

"Hmm. Well, in fact, there were few enemies attacking the tower of birth, so if you can afford to do a lake survey, I guess there can be."

The person who actually fought while defending the Tower of Birth is about a wildlife.

Things like monsters raiding, that wasn't even one of Amenbo's cases this morning.

Ningro, it would have been bigger to take care of Lizardman's children as a job to do.

More than that, a full-scale lake survey is not possible, but it is simple… for example, collecting fish, shellfish, and plants like those on the shore.

Other than that, if anyone had strained their meat, they would be able to imitate that they actually tried to bake and eat the fish they caught.

Some fish are poisonous, but overall, they are still more harmless.

In that sense, it was more likely to be safe to eat fish.

(Oh, but it's a great fish on TV when I was in Japan, but it can't be digested by humans? Or somehow, for that reason, I remember seeing some fish that can only eat one or two slices. In that sense, is it not unlikely that there are indigestible fish in this world)

While I thought so, Ray had the thought that such fish would probably be very small.

"Right. Then I'll take care of it. But only to the extent that you don't have to."

Dusker pushes the precaution over and over again because he still thinks this lake is likely to have come from a third world, not this world or one with the Grand Dragonian Empire.

As you can see from the giant slime and amenvo, there is no doubt that a vicious monster exists.

If so, I don't know what other beings exist, so I'm pushing this far.

The adventurers here were all turned to the guard of the Tower of Birth because of their superiority, but it was also natural for Dusker to push his precautions again and again if he nevertheless thought to be attacked by an unknown being.

Ray knows that too, so he snorts.

"Yes. I will try to investigate to the extent that I am not forced to.... In the meantime, I thought I'd see how big and shaped this lake is with Seto."

That's a task because we have a ceto with the ability to fly.

If Seto wasn't around, that's what I needed to walk around the shores of the lake to find out its exact shape and breadth.

Most importantly, in this world, we don't imitate things like how big the lake is, like Japan, but only a few people like scholars do.

"I asked. Bye. It's time for me to get back to Gilm. I bet you've got a lot of work to do."

Dusker's time away from Gilm hasn't been that long.

I'll see how the lake goes and see if it's been two hours since I combined the time I was talking to Ray.

However, it is no strange story that in the current Guild, in less than two hours, there will come out a job that only Dusker can judge.

On the contrary, there will undoubtedly be cases that cannot be judged without Dusker.

"... that's tough. Be careful with your body."

Ray tells Dusker what's going on, unexpectedly or otherwise.

If you try it on lay, you're good at moving your body, and you prefer to do things like reading books.

But I didn't feel like I could do that, though not very much, if they told me to do some extended paperwork, like Dusker did.

"Ha ha. Right. It's just, you know, paperwork is a lot less bitter if you can enjoy the act of reading paperwork, right?

"Do you enjoy reading the papers? If I could do that, it would be paperwork."

I was Ray returning the words as I was convinced it was because of what Dusker was saying, but I didn't think I could enjoy reading the paperwork, though not very much as I meant it.

At least, as for Ray, he would return that he absolutely refused even if he told me to enjoy the paperwork and process it.

But as far as Dusker's concerned, it doesn't look like he's talking cod, though not very much.

From the bottom of my heart, it seemed like I was enjoying the paperwork.

"That's amazing."

That's not flattery or anything, words from the bottom of my heart.

If you try it on Ray, it's a word because I didn't think it was very possible to imitate things like enjoying paperwork on my own.

However, it is only a recognition that this much can be done and deserved, beyond doing the lord of the border named Gilm if you try to make it a dusker.

That's why to Ray, who speaks up in admiration, right? And I doubt it.

Still, I'm not going to let that get in the way any more than I'm admired.

"If you do lords, you'll be able to do it roughly. … Conversely, if the work of this hand were to become bitter, it would be difficult for the lord of Gilm"

That's what Dusker tells me, but not many people actually push their lord's work on their men and they're just playing.

It was unacceptable for Dusker.

"Really?... Whatever, I'm going to do a quick lake survey. If you're a Dusker, look for someone who can specialize in that kind of thing."

"Okay. Not immediately, but turn around as soon as possible"

Fortunately, Gilm is on the border.

Monsters, animals, plants, ores, etc. that exist because they are peripheral. There are quite a few other kinds of scholars to look into.

If we speak to such scholars, there will be one or two people interested in investigating the lake.

No, if you explain that it is a lake in different worlds, it is not strange that those who wish to investigate with us show up.

(The other world is too irritating, so shouldn't I say it? No, but... coming here means you're going to see burning slimes and birth towers. The burning slime would delude you that it's a giant slime, but the birth-tower can't be deluded)

It can't be common sense in this world that Lizardman has just the intelligence to build towers like that.

Not to mention, that tower can be seen years after it was built.

If so, scholars will undoubtedly show interest there as well.

Though wondering which scholar to leave to, Dusker rode his carriage back to Gilm.

Although I did not forget to tell the Alliance to submit Amenbo's body later.

"Well, then do you want to do a little research on the lake with a guy who's quick but free of hand? The guy in his spare time... well, you do."

Almost everyone who hears Ray's words raises their hands to run for the lake.

There's also the giant slime and Amenbo thing, and I know it's a dangerous place. I know, but... Still, those who do not show interest in the lake they have metastasized were not on this occasion.

The fact that Lizardman's children are playing at the waves may also be significant in this case.

"In the meantime, we can't all be together.... What do we do?

Ray asked for his opinion, the knight.

The person at the top in the sense of command on this occasion.

Even if we're talking about adventurers alone, we're all likely to see ourselves in this situation.

With that in mind, I still should have had someone decide for me.

"Right. There's also a birthday tower escort, so why don't you just take half a piece at a time and take turns after a certain amount of time?

The others are convinced by the word of the knight.

"Zozo, what are the Lizardmans going to do?

'I am looking to recruit those who can swim and hope. Brother Gaga is willing to do it. "

To Zozo's words, Ray, who sees Gaga more, finds Gaga, who is still about to storm towards the lake.

(Maybe Gaga is also intrigued by the lake?

Given Gaga's character, it's not surprising that it's just a lake that has metastasized or attracted interest.

Not to mention because there are giant slimes and amenbo monsters in that lake.

Isn't Lizardman a cold place? And when I saw the tense gaga, I thought Ray, but when it gets cold, I think back to thinking if I should get close to the burning slime and warm up.

What do you care if the slime keeps burning has a lot of use when it's cold or when you need fire? And Ray thinks.

Of course, you can only imitate that until the burning slime dies.

... I can't even imagine how long this situation will last at all now that it keeps burning after one night.

That is why the slime may burn today or tomorrow, and in some cases it could have continued to burn for months, years, or a decade.

Around there, even if that's Ray using magic, I don't know.

"Okay. Then half at a time.... As Gaga turns in the first half, Zozo divides the other Lizardman hopefuls in half. Yeah, and when it gets cold in the lake, you better get close to the burning slime and warm up."

'Huh?'

It wasn't just Zozo... who returned those words to Ray's words, but also the adventurers he was listening to.

"Hmm? What's going on?

"No, I didn't have the idea of warming up with that slime"

To the words of the knight, the adventurers nod in agreement.

On the contrary, Zozo and even Lizardman, who heard from Zozo, nodded.

As for Ray, I didn't mean to say anything particularly strange.

It's just that the fact that the burning slime is there doesn't change anything more than that. Shouldn't we use that effectively anyway? And that's just what I thought.

"It doesn't make any more sense to pretend you can't see than it is there. Whatever it is, it's quick, but I'm looking for a lot of things."

Yes, Ray naturally heads to the lake with the face chosen by the knight.

Look at Ray like that, that? Some thought that having Ray wouldn't make me feel comfortable or scared, and I won't say anything.

"Seto, we'll make sure the lake's all right from the top."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto joyfully throats Ray on his back and runs up into the sky with a few steps of help.

Some looked a little envious of one of those and one of them, but they head to the lake saying that it was better to investigate the lake first.

Zozo also drops off Ray, and then when he speaks to the other Lizardmans, including Gaga, he heads to the lake.

Lizardman's children turned a radiant gaze of curiosity, like what was about to begin when they saw such a togetherness.... as I grabbed the fish from my head.

"Oops, this is again... Again, it's so huge"

On Seto's back, Ray grunts looking at the lake that stretches beneath his eyes.

I usually fly an altitude of about 100m, but not now.

I was flying considerably higher than usual to make sure the whole lake was in shape.

The shape of the lake is roughly close to the oval.

Of course, it's not that it's a beautiful oval, although there were many places that were quite distorted.

Still, it was basically in the shape of an oval, and Ray was going to draw a rough shape on the paper he removed from the mistering as he saw such a sight.
