Magic Gems Gourmet

I spent the night on board, and as soon as the morning sun rose, I left the ship.

Returning to the island with a small boat, he stretches his body well where he landed. The early morning wind was cool enough to speak of the southern island, and when I took a deep breath, a pleasant tidal breeze swept through my body.

"I'm a researcher today..."

Katima, who sang in a good mood, laid down a huge bag on the beach.

"Mr. Katima"

"Hmm?

"I wonder why we landed together, even though everyone's still asleep."

"That's because I woke up early."

He woke up like a child the day before the festival, aiming for Ain's bedroom with his feet.

And they literally woke up Ain, who was still asleep, and went all the way to the island by themselves.

"But this is better, isn't it?

"... what does that mean?"

"Anyway, I know Ain was worried." But I don't want to exaggerate in front of everybody, and I can't stand the thought of carrying my feet around, even though I can't find out for myself. "That's what I know about Ain."

"Oh, you cared. Then be honest..."

I thought I'd say thank you.

"Well, it's true that I woke up early with a thrill." "I wonder why it was the flow of the scene that made me beat Ain with excitement."

Shall I pinch your neck and throw it at the sea?

I laughed at myself for trying to thank me a little and endured the blues coming to mind.

For now, let's find out.

Until around noon when everybody gets here.

"Nmu!" Explore with pleasure! "

Ain now glances at the center of the island.

There's no sign of any violent monsters. It was actually confirmed yesterday that Dill was carrying Katima with him.

However, I can't help but wonder about the scale of the example.

(Still burning)

I noticed that my skin was getting sunburned while I was still using it.

It is obvious because there was no sunscreen in particular, but it is easy to understand because the color of the skin has settled slightly after one day.

Katima - there was no particular change.

The cat also has sunburn, but is it well maintained?

"The sun is getting stronger today."

"It should be easy to explore." "Drink plenty of water to keep you from falling!"

"Giggle, but sunshine... sunshine?"

Ain wasn't sure until today, but the surrounding archipelago was illuminated by the rising sun, and it looked something different during the day.

(What is it?)

The archipelago seemed to be connected.

For example, it's an island now. Looking at the smallest island closest to this one, it appears that the gentle slopes of the surface are connected.

So if you tell me what to do, it's over...

I feel like I'm already seeing something.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, it looks like the archipelago is connected, and it looks like you've seen something."

"Hmm? I'm sure there's a connection, but I don't really understand." "I've seen it. Where did you see it?"

"I don't know."

"KAR! A clue that won't hold!?

Ain answered nothing and looked silently at the surrounding trees.

Katima glanced at the sudden behavior.

"What are you doing?"

"I was wondering if there was somewhere I could catch it."

"... what do you want to catch?"

"Call Katima. I thought it would be a little more decent if it was sun-dried."

Two people stopped.

Stay on each other and step on the sandy beach.

Eventually...

"Uhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ah, I let you escape!

Following Katima, who ran through the gap, Ain stepped into the dense forest.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Unused dense forests are gloomy, and we can't even find the way to the beast.

The voices of the birds that were heard from all directions were completely different from those of the king's city, and the screams were often not heard.

It's still early in the morning, so I don't feel the heat.

Nevertheless, the sweat is gradually rising on the forehead of the Ain that pushes the trees.

Oh, did you find it again?

Katima, wearing glasses, finds something on the ground.

"There's so much to look into."

"Scale shards again?

"What is it?" Nyahaha... I don't need to count anymore... "

Dozens of Scale Shards have already been found, and they're not as rare as they can be found digging the ground.

Though the magic tools made it easier to find them, they were found without any thanks.

"Was the mark written by Mr. Wilfried about the scale?"

"Maybe." "It's amazing how far we've come from the elves in those days."

"----I just picked up a shard, lend me a hand."

"Nh? hey!

The received Ain shredded the shards on the leaky day.

(I knew it was weathered)

The surface is dirty and doesn't look like a scale at first sight.

When I stumbled upon a surface polished by chance, or as I do now, I wouldn't have found it without magic tools.

"I think I found something yesterday."

"Oh, the one in the ocean?"

"Sure. I wonder if this area was where the sea dragons lived."

"Maybe so." Yu, I can't say for sure, but maybe he still lives... "" If that's the case, the twins would be very responsive. "

If so, it's just left behind.

"But that doesn't change the information I care about."

Katima says this survey is meaningful even as a reference for the future.

Let's take a break.

I've been walking for a few more minutes.

Katima, who had found an affordable rock, lowered her hips and placed the bag she was carrying on the ground.

Remove the water bottle from the bag and moisturize your throat with Ain.

As you breathe, the surrounding environment sounds more accessible.

"The birds are so loud."

"I was dropped during yesterday's investigation."

I'll do it, bird.

"... you should have pity on me."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

While we're talking about things that aren't going to get settled, huh?

An unpleasant alarm sounded from Katima's bag.

Nyah?

Sometimes Katima was slow and Ain wasn't particularly alert.

However, she changed her expression the moment she took it out of her bag and opened a magical instrument that resembled a notebook.

"Well, where did it come from!?

"What happened?

"Wait a minute! Mmm... there's a powerful reaction coming from around here...!

This is a prediction, but it looks like magic equipment that looks into magic or some kind of wavelength.

Ain waited as he was told and watched Katima wander around. I don't know anything. I know that even if I say I will help, I will only get in the way.

Therefore, I drank hard saliva and watched.

"Not this way... not that way... then... Nyah, Nyah?

"What's wrong with you looking at me suddenly?

"I'm getting a reaction from you, maybe."

She nodded that Ain would come back to the rock where he sat.

"Ain, can you scrape this rock for me?"

"... I'm sorry."

Standing Ain pulled out his sword and shook it down against the rock many times.

An eye-catching Speed Sword quickly sharpens its surface and reveals its hidden form.

"I didn't know this stuff was left behind."

What appeared was a pure white mass.

When the unknown Ain frowned, Katima repeatedly touched a bright white lump.

"It's weathered and the shape's changed, but this is a sea dragon fang."

"Surprised. I can't believe it even happened."

"Looks like the map's mark is definitely a sea dragon."

"It must be something of value."

"Nmu."... well, if you want to carry this or do anything, you can go back to the ship once. "

Ain walked with Katima in response to the words.

But the foot stops unexpectedly and returns to the direction where the fangs were earlier.

Stay still and look at the surrounding terrain.

"--- No way."

And looking back at the archipelago, I thought it was impossible.

He hurried under Katima to move on, wondering how big a sea dragon he would have been if his predictions had been correct.
