"Uh-huh, Frogman."
"What's wrong, brother?
Leaving Shting, he is aiming for swamps, the habitat of Frogman.
The place seems to be a little far away, traveling on a magical carpet along the streets leading from Shting.
I managed to get a handwritten guide from Widge about the road.
It's a simple object that says right, left, straight, and so on in the direction of the divide. You know, that girl has a good memory.
"Oh, kind of. I only have a bad feeling about it because of its name."
"Is that a name that Frogman doesn't like?
Frogman...... I'm a people-shaped frog walking on two legs if I imagine this.
If it weren't for this world, I'd be confident I'd slip back and run away the moment I ran into you.
I think I'm about to come out with a B-grade horror.
"'Cause this is a frog, right? Oh no you... even frogs are cute or something!?
"What!?... No way. That's not true."
"Could it be true?"
If it were a normal-sized frog, I'd still be convinced. But it's about this world, so I guess it's over 1m anyway.
It's so very, very cute to think so......
Nor gave a flipped voice as to whether it was a star. He says that's not true, but Estelle also has suspicious eyes.
You're a creep. You're an enthusiast. I feel sorry for you for moaning any more, and I'll leave you alone.

"Is this where Frogman lives?"
"Mmm, that's a dirty, disgusting place."
"Is it a pond"
We arrived in a few hours with the carpet hanging. It would be quite a long walk if this were on foot.
Where we arrived, dead trees fell and cloudy ponds of water were spreading. It kind of smells like the Dove River.
Some land is grassy, but it looks dirty if it runs in mud down there.
I kinda hate that there's going to be mud on your New Holy Wreck cloth.
"Ha-ha-ha, it is!"
"What are you snooping about..."
"Ha!? No, you didn't do anything wrong, did you?
If you look at the pond, you can see countless jacquats swimming in excess of 1m.
Wow... it was huge after all. I'm glad you weren't a frog, but you're still a little creepy.
When your jacquard looks up, Knoll next door has a loud voice.
"Oh, my gosh, you're such a lovely monster."
"It is, isn't it? Right?"
"Uh, yeah?
I started to say she might even be cute to Estelle.
Is that right...... a round black body, tails, and crushed eyes. Maybe he did look cute.
No, I don't mind that. Shall I see the status?

What is it? This is a very weak demon. This will not give you any experience if you defeat it.
"Well no. And what shall we do? I don't really want to go in the pond. It's gonna be dangerous."
"Right...... freeze it?
"No, if you do that, you won't be able to come out with demons. I don't know what to do..."
It's hard to get physical when you're inside, and if you're bad, you might have a deep bottom.
If I can, I'd like to defeat Frogman without going in...
I wonder if frogman is a rare species that I haven't seen or felt.
"All right, do you want to collect the drop items only Frogman? Estelle, bomb this pond."
"Heh heh, I got it. That's kind of an arm buzz."
Let's give up on the Octopus Drop Item and let's just wipe it out and gush it out.
When I ask Estelle to bomb me, she takes the grimoire out of her bag.
... Kind of lively, but okay?
"Then I'll go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
She speaks well and waves her wand. Every time I said, a giant fireball appeared in the sky.
It explodes as it lands in one pond after another, evaporating water and mud. The entangled eggs are swallowed up by the explosion without the art of exchange.
The pond, punctured by many and many rounds, is partially melted like lava with the ground exposed.
"Huh, neat. This book is amazing."
"It's like the sight of the end of the world..."
"This won't piss you off..."
A pond that no longer has a prototype of when it first came. Nearly half of it has disappeared.
Or suck. You totally overdid this......
After a while, the eggs begin to gush one after the other on the pond half left.
And mixed with it, a human-sized green demon also gushed out.
Sleek hands and feet in big black eyes, mouth open and tongue stretched is creepy. Not even the face of your cuteness.
Let's just take a look at the status.

You're getting stronger all of a sudden. If you come to this guy too weak and alarmed, he's going to have a struggling party.
It's poisonous, but I got a holy wreck cloth and it's resistant, and there's knoll, so I'm fine.
"Wow... just as I expected."
"Oh, that's a little tough for me, too"
"I'm going to kill you for now?
"With suppressive eyes. The pond disappears like this."
My hands and feet are thin and my body is not matching my torso. Even that knoll is pulling.
Estelle started shooting magic out of her mouth when she said something rash and noisy. This guy's in great shape today. How's your new gear?
For a while she has been shooting all sorts of magic into Frogman, but is gently dodged by diving or jumping into the pond.
Poor thing your eggs are blowing up one after the other.
And he's amazing... full of demons.
"Ugh, you can't hit it when you move anymore."
"No, you'd avoid that."
"It's kind of pathetic..."
Estelle is frustrated that it doesn't quite hit me.
It seems as if they are being taught the fear of being unilaterally attacked. You've been as sympathetic to me as Nor.
"All right, Estelle. If he jumps next, freeze the pond. Me and Nole are gonna clean it up."
"Mm-hmm. Okay."
I decided to knock it down in close proximity because it was going to wipe out even half the remaining pond as it was.
"Knoll, let's go!
"Copy that!
The moment Frogman jumps, let Estelle freeze the pond and we run out.
Frogman, who landed on a frozen pond, is surprised, but he immediately noticed us and looked at us.
Reinforced knolls in gear are even faster, approaching Frogman and waving his sword before me.
But that didn't hit the jumping frogman.
I catch up. I attack too, but I jump a little and I don't hit it at all.
When the attack is about to hit, it exhales purple poison fog, and if it disappears from sight and clears, it is tingling in the distance. And it stinks.
"Damn, let's go!
"It bounces a lot."
It's not obvious what's going on. You want Estelle to blow everything up?
He's already blown half of it and it won't change...... no, I'm afraid of the aftermath.
I was so dodged and annoyed that I tried my best to throw a bar at the frog that jumped.
Then Barr stabs around the frog's ass, falling as-is and cramping without being able to land.
"Come on! Knoll, do it!
"Copy that -!
Knoll pierced the sword several times on the falling frog, which became a particle of light and turned into a drop item.
The fallen object has a slightly longer tongue... I don't like touching this.
"Huh, did you manage to take him down? You've made me struggle a lot, even though you're a demon of D-rank."
"How are ordinary adventurers defeated?
"Maybe we should go into the pond or we should pull him over and knock him out?
Hmm, is this supposed to be a test of how to defeat demons in an environment that is difficult to defeat?
You totally knocked it down with a gorilla push.

We just returned to the Adventurers' Association to give you proof of crusade.
I was installing a beacon on my way home, so it's a flash. Beacon is the best item ever.
The pond had Estelle melted the ice and left it undone. You won't have to worry about getting mad at me for that either...... maybe.
"Is that Mr. Ogura? What's the matter, sir?
"Uh, Frogman, I brought you proof of crusade because I'm done crusading"
"What... ho, are you sure you've been knocking me down?
"Yes? I've defeated you."
When Widge, who was at the reception, found us, she called out wondering.
And I'm surprised to say I've done my request already. Why not?
"It should take about two days to get there back and forth..."
"Oh, uh, I've been running away by myself."
Bye...... right. It's strange to come home so soon after being in such a remote place.
I was too used to hunting for sasori and hadn't thought about it at all......
I made an excuse for being aggressive, but you can't be convinced of this. This is not good.
"Uh, well, Osakura and the others, right? Then give me the proof of crusade and the plate."
"What... Oh, yes"
Is that it? Something convinced me... It's been gently flushed.
I'm glad I saved you, but I'm not convinced of anything. What the hell is going on with our perception in this girl?
"Yes, now the Otakuras are D-ranked. Congratulations on your promotion."
I received the returned plate from Widge.
The plates went from blue to red, and now we're D-rank adventurers too.
