"... whatever this is... even if they ask me... What the hell is this?

I put a short, thick arm on the edge of the ship and rolled it over the deck with Goron. That was something I really only wanted to describe as moss (koke). But it's bright white that that's not just moss.

- Gerolog, Gerolog, Gerolog!!

'Cause there's no way there's a moss that makes a squeal.

"This the guy? Who was the shock?"

I look at the moss balls in front of me in surprise while Toslin is alert.

"Hmm... this is probably not Moss Frog"

That's what Ritzereich said as everyone grabbed the identity of the uninvited guest in front of them.

"Frog? Uh, what, so this is a frog?

You're surprised at Carol's startling voice, or Moss Frog, who didn't leave it slightly mobile while rolling, suddenly starts to move.

Its moss mass is about a meter in diameter. Try to corroborate Ritzereich's reasoning, the center of the mass cracks to the left and right with a pacary, red mouth opening......

- Gerolog, Gerolog, Gerolog!!

I heard a ringing noise from earlier. I see, this is definitely a frog. I don't even look like a frog at all!! I don't care what you think, just moss chunks!!

"If you're a frog, you might as well take it down and feed it."

"You're lying. There's so much food out there, don't you have to go out of your way to eat monsters?

"You don't know what you have, so you should eat what you can eat."

"If I get certified as an ingredient by Toslin standards, it's going to be a caterpillar eating party."

"What the hell! Then you have to eat!! Dried meat on its own!

It's a secret to Toslin, but I was wondering if I'd like the dried meat side too if I could... I was wondering, and she ran toward the frog as she waved her sword.

"In the meantime, get some meat!!

And boom, he sounded the wind cut and waved the blade. But...

Giggyyyyyy!!

"Yikes... Yikes!! Ouch, my hand is paralyzed...... what the heck!? You're so stiff!?

Toslin's sword was thought to cleave the moss and amputate the frog's body. But in fact, the sword had stopped where the moss had been cut.

"Oh, still. I thought it might not be the case with moss growing..."

Ritzereich nods with one convincing face.

"Oh, what? What's happening?

"Moss Frog has the nickname 'Maury the Stone Eater'..."

It was half the life of a certain frog that Ritzereich told me by trying to answer Laplice's questions.

- Once upon a time, a boy had one frog. The frog's name is Maury. He was a little frog, enough to ride in the palm of his hand.

One day, when Maury looked up at the sky from the bottom of the pond, she saw a dragon gently flying through the blue sky. That's when Maury had a strong longing for the dragon.

Big body, hard scales, sharp fangs, wings for all. All of that was something I didn't have, and that's why I asked for it.

- And Maury started eating the stones in the pond.

When I ate up all the stones I could see, the next thing I knew, I started eating the house where the boy lived. The boy fled, frightened by Maury, who was turning into a little bit of trouble.

Maury's body was big and hardened when a few years passed and she ate up one of the villages. The glossy skin turned to a zalari stone, to the point where it also played the fangs of a snake that was a natural enemy. But at that price, he was unable to fly because of its weight.

The more you seek, the further away you will be from the sky he seeks. But the longing for dragons cannot be abandoned, and Maury has continued to devour stones somewhere ever since.

"What? The inside of this moss is a stone!?

"Dear Left, Carolyn Blade won't spill a blade if you make a mistake, but it's going to be a little hard to crack."

"Then you just have to tap it crack"

"Sure, but apparently that's not all you're gonna need."

When your sister could put her strength into the hand holding Togetgemeis, in a different direction - that's what Saluena said, who was looking the other way from us.

"Huh?"

What do you mean? I thought I looked back, too, and there were two identical moss chunks that looked just like me, about to roll off onto the deck.

Goto, goto!!

"Wow!? You're not alone!! Three in all? No, he's still crawling up there. Huh!?

- Gerolog, Gerolog, Gerolog!!

Multiple moss frogs squeal as they pinch us.

"Hey, wasn't it safe to make a mistake..."

"Maybe it's a monster who's fled the safer streets."

"You're coming up more and more from the bottom of the ship. Hey, these guys, were they sticking down there?

"... maybe this is what I saw in the city of Ariengelda..."

A black shadow through the bottom of the river at that time. I don't know exactly, but I think it was about the same size as the Moss Frog in front of me.

"Hey, Ritzereich. Just in case, what makes these guys attack this ship?

"There's only one such thing?

To Toslin's question, Ritzereich answers with a shrugged shoulder.

"To eat, ship. They like stones, but they eat basically anything but iron."

"Bad eating. You're superb here. All right, Rose, I'll have the front with Gortmund, please. I'm on the right, Saluena climbs up from the left, please."

"I'm in awe"

Copy that.

"I'd ask Ritzereich to crawl up from behind, but it's okay, right?

"It's a stupid question. Ugh. Even though I'm not feeling well enough, I don't have the strength to do it."

"All right, then, Rose, goltmunto! I'm asking you to be flashy! Let him know exactly what happens if he gets on a Maiden ship without permission!!

"Yep. Okay...... I'm coming!!

Your sister stepped forward a lot. And Moss Frog's jaw? I swinged the mace out of my mind by trying to put the part up. Then, bagoo!! and the hard stuff sounded cracking and the moss exploded (it looked like).

"Ooh... eg..."

Moss Frog danced in the air scattered with moss, stones and flesh pieces and fell to the river in Dopo. There, followed by Mossfrog (what was), which Goltmund kicked over, drew a parabola and headed back to the river again.

"Yikes! If we leave the front to Rosé and the others, we'll be fine. Saluena, does your place look okay?

The battle has begun, and the deck has become noisy. Toslin kept his sword in his hand and kicked the Moss Frog. The power is tremendous, and the blow of your sister's wielding mace is as good as ever.

"Oh, I'm fine. But these numbers are a little problematic."

Saluena, to say the least, is breaking Moss Frog with a supper and a sword. From the edge of the ship, he swords away and returns to the river.

"Whoa, whoa, how many of these guys are there?!?

Ritzereich puts together a demon-guided outer shell, grabbing and throwing Moss Frog with his huge fist, grabbing and throwing repeatedly. But the numbers are increasing rather than ever decreasing.

Not just from behind. A mass of moss crawls up from the right, from the left, and from the front, rolling down onto the deck. When it comes to what you start, you eat. Crates and decks that are secured with rope. I glimpse everything I see, strip away the random pile teeth that I don't think belong to frogs, and eat them so I can sharpen them.

Baki, Bali Bali, Baki, Mekabaki......

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... You're not in style. Seriously, I started eating. Seriously, the ship is going to break!!

"Hih!? It's hard and heavy, and there's nothing in Atashi. This!!

Carol jumps resolutely to try to do something about the Moss Frogs that have been rolling in through your sisters' defensive lines. But even if I freshly poked the dagger, the outer skin of the stone is stiff, and I can't see it covered in moss trying to find a connection.

"Captain Kutuna!! I can't shake these guys!?

"I'm doing it...... Oh, no! I'm stuck at the bottom of the boat and I can't get it out as fast as I think!!

"I didn't know we were going to end our sailing trip in a place like this."

"Without the ship, it would be a carriage, but Atashi's carriage, it would remain broken... Are you going to walk to the barracks? That's a hassle..."

"If you don't like walking, you have to work hard."

"In the meantime, you can't lose a ship you're renting here. Gentlemen, get excited."

With everyone working hard for me, I'm just tied to a rope stretched out of my mast, fluttering and shaking. That's because there's nothing I can do in this situation... but is it really? Isn't there something I can do, too, without the power to wave my sword?

(Mmm, mmm......)

I look around on a rocking ship and desperately squeeze out my wisdom. Then I saw something white on the edge of my sight, and I caught my eye there.

"Oh yeah!! Guys, just hold on a little longer!!

There he was, a stuffed animal. Sarah made it for me, and now it's the uniguru that's possessing the power of unicorns. She has stood at my feet to protect me all the way from the start.

"Ya...... break the commandments of this world!!

I put my mouth to the ring embedded in my little finger on my left hand and turned it into a book of magic.

"As Iris Calvafon commands, the goddess Ilua rewrites reason!

A pure white magic guide opens and emits a blurry light. In that light, follow the blue letters that float.

"Laws laid down in the name of Almighty. The Holy Spirit, the Guardian of the Virgin, and the Holy Water!

That letter is a powerful word. As the name of the goddess Ilua, words to untie the chains laid in the world.

"Flatten, give us the time of rest! Protect us from impure malice!!"

Each time the words are taken together, the body of the unicorn grows larger, and the hyena (freshly swayed) in the wind is engulfed in divine light.

"My life, my name on the floor, come across! Unicorn!"

And at the end of the day, when I'm done chanting so loudly, she regains her true appearance. Body like bright white painting paper. Purple hyena. Crystalline eyes capture me and look strangely at the rope wrapped around my body.

"Ko, this is right. Because it's for not getting thrown out of the boat. More than that, unicorn please!! Protect the ship!!

I can put magic into the book of magic in my left hand. Then she responds to it and her purple light begins to glow bright white.

"Invasive Shield"

And when I chanted that, a magic formation with twenty instant geometries unfolded.

"Ooh? What are you doing, Iris? You're gonna cut those guys off with that?

I smelled a safe place and cling as Laplice flew with momentum glued to my ear.

"I wish I could, because I don't think anything that can't be cut with a Toslin sword can still be cut with this"

Flying this magic formation at high speeds and cleaving targets is Unicorn's main method of attack, but it's not that sharp. Besides, it weighs very little and is therefore not suitable for the use of blowing it up.

Then we're talking about what we're going to use it for, but as that name suggests, we'll use it as a shield.

"Turn each one of them up thoughtfully..."

And make sure to surround the ship and position it. A total of twenty demonic squares act as defensive junctions that inhibit new intrusions.

"Ooh!? Don't do it, Irie. Zuck! I praise you!!

"They can't even come in here."

Praised by Toslin and Carol, I unexpectedly felt that the rapport loose. Why don't you? We're still in battle, so we need to keep our heads down. I continue to infuse magic into the Book of Magic and to maintain my bond.

"Say yes!! Clean the mess you rolled in right now!!

Laplice, weak for the pinch and so strong for the chance, just tells me here he is.

"It would be nice if the enemy stopped coming in... Hey, Iris?

"Yes? What is it, sister?

Every time your sister waves a mace, Moss Frog launches into the sky like a cannon bullet. The same goes for Gortmund when he kicked him in the back leg.

"After this, what do we do?

"To?"

Thanks to the defensive junction, no enemies can enter. I'm not so aggressive either, so I don't have to worry about being destroyed at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, I was wondering if it would be okay to hold on and wait for them to give up.

But apparently, they don't feel that way at all.

Gishi...... Gishi Gishi, Meki, Meki...

"Oh, that? Oh, what's this noise?

Moss Frog sticks perfectly to the magic formation around the ship and climbs further up. There's room for the number of demon squares, so if you even put a lid on the ceiling, they won't come inside the deck.

But that seemed to bring in one problem. What is the problem......

"Huh, the ship can't stand the weight!? If it stays like this, it will sink!!

"... wow... a lot..."

Yes, it weighs.
