"Hobbies aren't the only reason I gather information, they're also to find out where my lost partner (Trident) is."

That's right.

The reason why I was gathering information is told from Gin's mouth.

"Well what... I want to calm down and talk to you, let's just get the job done first, we'll talk more later"

"... ok"

Make a light request that ends in the morning and finish reporting to the Alliance.

Lunch, after filling his belly in a rice restaurant where he had previously eaten sandshell liquor steam.

We were to interrupt Ginn's house near the coast.

"Come in and sit down as you see fit."

"Ooh."

A man's life alone, but the house is surprisingly clean up.

I move my gaze, I observe inside, but it's a man to man.

It would be rude to see Girosilo... nothing like that.

"Don't look too giddy, there's nothing funny about it"

It wasn't...

They were rude even between men.

Follow Ginn's words and sit in a chair.

"Look, it's a drink"

After you handed me a glass of water.

Gin pinched the table, sitting in the opposite chair.

"Well, here goes the morning story..."

"Ooh."

"You may not be able to imagine it from me, but the original purpose was to obtain information about the whereabouts of my partner (Trident), and the information I wanted was not personal (...)"

Cheng Cheng, was it a decent motive at first?

That's why this is happening...

"Don't get me wrong, I want personal information now too"

Beh, it's not an illustration.

"I can live on either surface, Sahagin, but basically because I live at sea, I hardly had a chance to listen to them on land. For me fishing all the way down the ocean until a while ago, the stories about the guys on land were fresh."

"Hmm."

"And while I was listening to those stories about the way they lived, lived, thought, and heard about the land, I learned that I had lived in a narrow world, and I got a lot of interest..."

Cheng Cheng, I can't even understand that.

Things are good to say.

"And I started collecting personal information..."

I see... well?

I think something flew by.

"If it's personal information, you should normally talk to me and get along as a friend before asking......, you're not a people-friendly personality"

"That's not how friends are made, I don't want to betray friends."

You're right...

"So you're saying you'll take the means to fool the first person you meet?

I'm not sure about Ginn's standards.

Is it a matter of conscience...

"I didn't think it would be such a pleasure to gather information and gain knowledge. It feels like my world is expanding. I'm surprised that I had this side of it."

Funny laugh.

Gin with distant eyes.

"Come to think of it, this is how exploratory I am..."

"What the fuck?

"You're like a scholar."

I definitely don't think so.

"I wish I had never known such fun..."

"That's not true, even if it wasn't something people would praise... I'm happy I could find a living"

Knowing my hobby is not something I can be proud of by others, I still don't seem to regret it.

"I hope your brother finds something like that someday"

Hey, why am I being told like a more pathetic guy?

Well, if you go deep, it's gonna stink.

The story derails me, so let's just leave out how this guy's hobby blossomed.

Now we're talking about spears.

"Still, you've been putting Trident in weapons for a long time, and I understand that it's the right weapon to fish underwater, but not with other weapons?

Sahagin, who lives in the sea, comes all the way to unfamiliar land to find his way.

I'm calling my partner for a weapon.

Find out how much you value it.

"We Trident are special to Sahagin, it's no exaggeration to say weapons of things for the rest of our lives, does your brother know what kind of race Sahagin is?

"Well, not to much of a touch."

I tell Ginn what I know about Sahagin.

I remember the day I picked up the sandshell shellfish, because Leese was talking at the dinner table.

He said he was a species who lived in the sea fishing with his favorite Trident in one hand.

Yet Ginn felt uncomfortable because he was equipped with a bow and dagger when he received the request.

He wasn't very good with bows, either.

"You're not going to equip the Trident? When I heard that, he looked grumpy, and I was wondering if there was something...

"That's enough to know, we, Sahagin, will be given a spear by the elders of the settlement shortly after birth. Trident, a trident made of angled ore that can be taken in the sea."

"If you're a spear with no philosophy whatsoever, you don't need to be so particular..."

"Well, listen to me till the end, it's just a spear at first… but over the years I put a little bit of my magic into that spear every day, and then I'll have the magic of my owner and become an enhanced demon spear"

"Hmm."

"Anglide ore is brittle at first, but when magical, it has properties that increase strength and hardness. If I put too much magic into it at once, it breaks, so I put some magic into it. The Spear will take a while to complete, but it will be the best weapon for you that you are familiar with, and it will enhance the Magic Attack of the Gear."

……

"My spear is also naturally a demon spear, its name is... Daedalus"

Daedalus......

I think it's a nice name.

"Until a while ago, I ran around Daedalus with one hand in the sea, defeated a sea serpent much bigger than myself by myself, still called the most powerful warrior in the settlement's Sahagin, and it was at a glance."

"Heh."

"But... the time of glory didn't last long, I knew there was one up there."

……

"I knew there was such a thing, but until I actually saw it, I still thought sweetly that I would..."

Well, there's something called the mistake of being young.

"You talked to your brother about running back after you ran into Kraken."

"Oh."

"It was Kraken who snapped my nose column. I was complacent, and I lost my partner because of what happened at this time."

…………

"I was called the strongest in the settlement, and there was no such thing as going out into the ocean. I left the settlement and told the elders of Sahagin never to go to the forbidden waters, and I was on track, and the person I met at that time was Kraken, and if I had been more careful, I wouldn't have lost my partner (Daedalus)."

Gin looks down.

I can't see his face, but I can see he's still dragging regret out of the atmosphere.

"When I discovered Kraken, I hurried to hide in the shadows of the rocks and try to do it, but... Kraken has magic sensing, even though he has distance, I don't know when he'll be noticed like this"

…………

"So I hid my magic from leaking out of my body..., but in a few minutes, Kraken turned around where I was, my magic wasn't supposed to be perceived. Ruthlessly approaching Kraken, I spinning my head full while in a hurry, and I thought to myself why Kraken reacted"

"Demon Spear..."

"Oh, I can't hide the magic put into my partner (Daedalus)..., I'll be found as well as Kraken will eat me"

Somehow I can see the story.

"I put my partner (Daedalus) down and quietly left the scene. I was very unwilling to fight a real monster against him.

……

"Of course the spear was going to go back later and collect it, because that Kraken wouldn't eat the spear either, but..."

Gin gives a spicy look.

"When I got back, my partner (Daedalus) had disappeared, desperately searching around but I couldn't find him in the end. If we'd run away together then, maybe we'd still regret it..."

"But then, Gin could have died without escape, don't be too depressed"

The most important thing is my life.

If we don't die, well, we should figure something out.

"I get the story, but why are you looking on the ground? If you lost it in the ocean, shouldn't you look in the ocean?"

"I looked, tell the Sahaggins in the settlement what's going on. The elders were very angry with me... but a few friendly sahaggins cooperated with me knowing the danger. I know what a Trident looks like to us, but..."

"Didn't you find it?"

"Oh, so this is land… and we hit the city of Menardo, closest to the settlement"

"Uh-huh, isn't it possible it's still somewhere in the ocean? It's too early to decide it's on land."

"No, maybe it's land, I feel it from this city of Menardo... I can't use magic sensing for the signs of Daedalus, but we've been together for years, so somehow I know the signs of the spear"

"Hmm."

I assured you so much.

I guess there's a feeling that I know because I've been a regular user of Gin for years.

"So, well, he's getting information from all kinds of guys, from guild guys to city residents. This city is huge, and I haven't got a clue yet."

"It may be a question that bothers you, but can't we create a new Trident?

"... it's a weapon we've been having a rough time with, find it if you can. I didn't take a spear, a similar weapon, with my brother when he asked me, because I felt like I would betray my partner (Daedalus)."

"Well... okay, well, I'll let you know when I find a clue or something, I don't know if I can help."

"That's not true, it's gonna help."

Gin takes care of me.

I want to help you do what you can.

"Stay relaxed for today and rest your mind and body"

That's what I said, I left Gin's house.
