The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"Speaking of which, when Irina fell, the demon fish that hit the ship, Auga Fish, was quite large, but she didn't show up until she got back to the harbor... if she showed up, she would have cut it off."

Nicolai whispered her tongue at dinner and said so.

Cremant laughed bitterly at it.

"Having said that, you couldn't have fought with your tired beloved daughter on a boulder, could you? I'd rather thank you for not attacking me."

This includes Nicolai, who fought early.

"Mm, sure, but...."

and admitted that there was a reason.

Clément continued,

"But was there such a big demon fish? We saw what we were swimming at that time, but I thought there was only a little bigger than the normal size."

Sure, you're right.

If you say so, the size is large and the appearance is slightly different, but it is about that.

It wasn't big enough to rock the Okrus' ship.

Nicolai answers such a question.

"It was gone when I realized it... but it was there. It was about a turn smaller than our ship, but it was quite a giant demon fish. I've never seen anything that big in a lake."

"That much...!?

"Ah. I've seen a near-sized onion fish called 'Organic Fish' in the ocean, but not in a lake with boulders... However, I have heard that the demon fish along Mount Rhea will become huge....."

"Certainly, because we consume magic stones and the like contained in the soil flowing from the mountains, it is said that the species of creatures that inhabit the lake are larger around the area where the river that serves as the water source flows in... Sure, there are multiple influx rivers in Lake Ashan..."

"Ah, that's why I think the ghost fish came near the harbor."

"Well, that's possible. But why? I wonder if there is usually some sort of separation of residence. If I had come near the port of Aitel, I would have known that an individual had grown up so big that people would hunt him."

This Clément's dialog comes from the monster's basic abilities.

Never, but it is normal for monsters of the same species to have higher intelligence than larger ones.

This is because monsters do not have common animal-like growth limits, and the longer they live, the more they grow larger.

Of course, there are exceptions, but for demon fish, the bigger the living individual is.

And those individuals acquire a lot of wisdom.

Among them would be ways to live long without approaching humans.

That's why giant ghostfish rarely appear in Eitel's harbour.

And that's how it came out this time.

This was a bit unnatural.

Nicolai nodded to Cremant's question.

"I think so too. That's why I think there may have been something wrong."

"Anomaly? In the lake?

"Or maybe in the mountains... you can't stay near the mountains where you always live?

"Hmm... that's not an inconceivable story, but I can't be sure."

Well... That's why I need to talk to you for a second.... "

Hmm?

"Why don't we go investigate? It's not like a ghost fish like that often shows up near the port of Aitel, because it's not relaxed here by the boulders."

"Nicolai, you...."

Cleman sighed.

He doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic.

"No! I'm not thinking about avenging Irina or turning a hated fish into a grilled fish! I'm just trying to keep the harbor safe...."

The hasty dialog could only be heard as an excuse.

I mean, it's almost a confession.

But Cremant seems to be used to these kinds of nicholas.

"Hah... well, I see. If that's the case, let's go out together. Just... Elaine. Excuse me, may I take one of your magic devices?

Clément asked me that.

I was talking to Berta and the kids, but I was listening to Clément and Nicolai's conversation so I could react quickly.

"Yeah, I don't mind. If you become a long-lived demon fish, you will probably use quite a bit of magic, and it will be necessary for your safety."

Of course, it means "Magic Shield Magic Device" and "Shield".

We have something we can carry for our own safety.

It was decided that I or Clément would always be on Siegfried's side, but there were also occasions when one of them had to leave due to some circumstance, so there were three just in case.

It's easy enough to get one of them out.

Nicolai said about it,

"I also have Magic Shield Magic Device at home....."

I said.

It is already quite popular in Japan, and the Okrus family, which is a frontier family, does not have it.

Still expensive for the average soldier, the knights have a significant percentage.

However, they are popular products with various performance reductions after consultation with cost.

In contrast, what the Farren family had was a complete disregard for those circumstances and a pursuit of performance.

In general, even if it is sold out, it will cost so much money that it will only be bought by an excess bourgeoisie, and it is not sold out considering the danger if it is analyzed in the unlikely event.

So Clément said.

"Of course, our performance is slightly different. It was the Tower of Magic, the Wens Chamber of Commerce, and we developed it in the first place."

"... I see. They have much better performance than the usual ones. I felt it was quite useful even if it was normally sold... because that's what the developer is, so I'm sure Clément would be better off with it. Well, can I ask you something? If possible, I'd like you to show me your performance beforehand...."

"Of course, you'll be anxious if you don't. I'll show you tomorrow."
