The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

"If we go straight ahead, we'll be right out by Lake Latoin, so if we hit it and go left, we should be able to get to Sikum. If you're not, you should see some village if you get to the lake, and if you get to some village, you can travel by boat. It won't take long to get there."

"Thanks for taking care of me so far"

"Nah, we're each other when we're in trouble. I don't think you'll get lost, but be careful."

"Yes! Take care of yourself!

About two weeks from the date of signing with the Genius Chickens and obtaining the source of the eggs.

For my training, I was aiming for Lake Latoin, the habitat of Mad Salamander.

"... Well, let's go too"

Drop off the merchants who have kindly guided me so far and I will set my feet on the path I was taught. But when I say the road, it's thin as a beast path, and the expression through the woods may be more correct than when I say it goes through the road.

The road is even harder to understand when I actually step in and the roots of the trees stretch all I want.

Foot is basically mud and roots. Rarely stone. It's like a mangrove native forest, seen in Okinawa a long time ago.

Smaller stride. Step firmly from your toes. Don't step off the scaffold.

Although the purpose of this one is to be a Mad Salamander, activities in this poor scaffolding area will also be part of our training for the Schulz Great Tree Sea.

What worries me is the approximate time of arrival.

Earlier the merchant told me that it would be as soon as I went straight, but that person was also close to the camp yesterday, and the journey continued for about two hours after I said it. I'm sure it feels like a countryside where the distance to your neighbor is away in kilometers.

Let's see if we can make it through the woods for about 2 hours...

And about 4 hours later.

By the time I took twice as long as I had assumed, I could see the beautiful lake and the entrance to the village by its side.

Around the entrance...... probably the mangrove-like trees growing around here. Seems to be erecting a barrier and surrounding and protecting the village by sticking and lining up the whole processed thing on the ground. Someone who seems to be watching also stands.

Get close and head along the Marutai Wall to the village entrance.

There stood a man in his 50s or so, blurring and sprinkling cigarettes.

"Sorry."

"Hmm? That's a face you don't see, huh? And one Bowes?

"Yes. My name is Lyoma. I'm an adventurer and I'm aiming for a fishing village Sikum, but are you sure in this village?

"Sure, Sikum is here... uh, I remember. You talked about a friend of the Kaifoos coming to the village soon. You mean Bowes?

"If Kai from the Adventurer's Party" The Pier of Sikum ”is Kai, no doubt about it."

"Right! Then wait a minute."

The man grabs a wooden hammer that was hanging mostly at the entrance to the village, beating several times on a metal plate that was also hanging.

Then a young woman ran from the inside of the village.

"Manda's old man, is something wrong?

"Miss May, you were just fine. Kai Fong's guests are here."

"Oh! Was it that rumor? Where, is that you? Much younger, much younger."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Lyoma Takebayashi"

A woman who spoke clearly of how she felt about seeing me.

Given the similarity of names, is it Mr. Kai's family?

"Thank you very much. I'm May. This is Kai and Kai's sister. I hear you took care of your brother."

"You don't know anything if you just got here. Show him around."

"Copy that. I'll take you home for now. I think there might be two of them. Then follow me!

"Yes! Oh, thank you! Mr. Manda the gatekeeper?

"Whoa! I'm not careful."

Dropped off by the gatekeeper, chasing a woman who goes way ahead.

Along the way, kids seem to enjoy running around on the ground firmer than outside.

Drawing water, this is what makes a real wellside meeting, ladies.

Older people taking out chairs and tools to do thoughtful work while enjoying sunbathing.

A very serene sight was seen here and there.

"Is that unusual?

Whoa, have you seen too many things indiscriminately?

"Excuse me. I heard there'd be more warcraft out there, so it's calmer than I thought."

You mean Mad Salamander? That's every year at this time of year, so I can't freak out any more. Besides, they're after the fish they took out of the fishery. It's all the way to the lake shore and the beach, but it's not a good idea to get inside the village. "

"I see...... are the building materials wood and mud? You're all united and united."

"Ha, unity is not a big deal. I just don't have any other ingredients. But you can pick as much mud and trees as you want. It's convenient because even if it breaks a little, it can be fixed right away."

"Can you fix the house yourself?

"It's obvious, right? As much as the house is a little broken, I have to fix it myself. Common sense around here."

Apparently, everyone in this village is a pain in the ass.

"Ah, the house is here."

Walking around talking like that, you seem to have arrived at home.

Come on in.

"I'm sorry to bother you"

May opened the front door and invited me in, earthly.

Beyond it is a large slab hall, with some spaces that seem to be enclosed in the center.

Overall, it looks like a Japanese house somewhere, and I feel nostalgic.

"Kay! Kay! Doesn't that mean you haven't heard back?... Well no. Lyoma, we have your room. I'll show you around."

Oh? In a letter I received in advance, I thought you were talking about booking because you have accommodation for adventurers?

Ask, the building is a village assembly hall. This period rents rooms to adventurers, but it wasn't originally that big a building, and it was filled with other adventurers who came together.

And what do we do with the extra adventurer's bunk?

I'm sorry to force Nojuku on someone who came all this way to protect the village.

They talked about letting a credible adventurer rent a village home to fix it.

"I'm sorry for the convenience of the village, but I need you to be patient"

"I can't believe I'm patient! I just want to thank you for letting me rent this place for free."

"Good for you. I don't know about other cities, but help is fundamental here. In times of trouble, we each other. Please don't hesitate to speak up during your stay. I'll do whatever I can to help."

Closer than the people in the city, or oddly more likeable despite the first encounter...

All of a sudden, I'm a little confused, but I'm pretty sure you're welcome.

"Thank you. Again, I'm going to take care of you!

Thank you for welcoming me to the boarding house.

And from here on out, my professional life at Lake Latoin begins!
