We split up and explored this beach for about half a day... but never found any signs that Diabols was there.
"Huh, no clue at the moment?"
"It seems possible that I just happened to pass through this neighborhood on my way home from something else."
"Ugh, I don't feel like I can find you..."
I can't chase them because the ocean is ahead of me, and if I were to look for signs, I'd go inland.
If you haven't looked for anything in a few days, you might want to head to another sighting site.
Even though we have items of chatter, it's tough for us to look for wide inland without a big clue.
Thinking about what was going on, Luna approached me walking with a spear with yolo still about to fall.
"I'm tired... Ugh, I'm feeling better with the lighting back from the sea..."
"Try harder. I'll just like it when I'm done...... no, you can sleep a couple of days"
"Mmm, why did I say it again? You should let me sleep harder."
Luna stops spearing and stares at me slowly as she swells her cheeks.
I've been walking flat out in the sun before, and now I don't care if you say that... or you look perfectly fine!
With such a lazy toddler, now Knoll and Friesia are back with a ton of crab legs.
"Hmm, this investigation is very meaningful!
"Knoll, you're amazing! There's tons of crabs!
"You guys...... it's nice to collect ingredients, but I guess you're doing a good job of researching them?
"Of course, you can't pull it out! Especially without the anomaly-- whoa."
Knoll saluted Bishi with one hand, but is rushing back to hold him as he nearly drops his crab leg.
Is it really okay...... Well, Knoll would do a good job around there, so let's believe it.
I trust you once and for all.
"Hasn't Freesia felt anything?
"Eh heh, the sea breeze feels good!
"I didn't hear that..."
I mean, there's no abnormality around here. Come on.
Friesia would make a scene as soon as she found something, and it looks like nothing really happened with this look.
Ha, the hours I looked around were totally wasted...... I can't believe it.
"No, there's one thing that bothers you."
"... is that true? You've been slaughtering crabs all along without looking into them."
"Huh, do you think this I'm just taking down demons? That's sweet."
Shh, shh, with my index finger up, Sissha is hoisting the end of her mouth for a good face.
What...? Whatever you think, you just slaughtered and knocked down crabs, and what do you know!
"I've defeated all those cancers, and there's never been a rare species. Usually, there should be a bunch of superior species of demons out there. I mean, there's got to be something in that cave!
"That's true..."
I saw the cancers coming out of the cave, but not a single rare species.
Knoll and the others had defeated him with the impetus to annihilate him, so normally you can come out now.
Maybe the rare species here are hard to gush... but that's a little uncomfortable.
"All right, once you've finished exploring the area, why don't you go inside the cave"
I don't feel like looking any further outside to find it, and let's check out the cave first that I find suspicious.
So if nothing happens, we'll have to range and even do Operation Roller tomorrow.
... It's hard to have only 5 people at times like this. It's not just battles, it's exploration.
When I just tried to get inside the cave, the interior was dark, as was the pit of the Stogal mine.
Ask Estelle to put the light inside with light magic, then step inside.
Unlike other caves etc. Because of the proximity of the sea, my feet just nudged and relaxed due to cockerel etc., I think I'm going to slip.
"Bad scaffolding, so be careful not to slip."
"Yeah, I get it - Yikes!?
Shortly after I said that looking behind me, Estelle screamed and frowned around thinking I was going to slip.
I immediately reacted and took it, and it was done safely without a critical fall.
Phew, I was thinking I'd fall because I'd slip, but I can't believe I really fell.
Hazard prediction is important, right?
"Are you all right?
"... yeah. Thank you, brother."
"Whoa, you can hold onto my body until you get used to it."
"Yeah, well, why don't you hold hands?"
That's what I've said and offered my hand, so I shook it back.
Then... Sissha with the look on her nigga gets into her eyes.
"No, Mr. Ogura is becoming more and more reliable, too. Are you saying you're confident, that you can afford it?"
"That's right. I couldn't help but be anxious if I hadn't watched you the whole time."
"You guys..."
I hate to complain, but I actually just had the Knolls take care of me before.
I didn't even walk first on the hunting grounds.
I guess this is also due to the fact that I'm getting geared up from Gacha.
... I feel like I'm getting paralyzed after hunting too much.
"By the time I was summoned, you were a man of all kinds, but you were like that before."
"Eh heh, Heihachi was taking care of Nor too! You're with me!
"Do you want me not to come with you!
I don't want you to be with Freesia, who's gonna make a scene!
No matter how much I've annoyed you like that... I've never hung you... right?
I tried to lose confidence by skipping what I had done, but I got back on my feet.
We head down the downhill cave as we defeat the cancers coming out of the Knolls.
Then the narrow passage ended and came out to a wide area.
There is a thin, pointed rock stretching out on the ceiling of the bell cave where multiple large water reservoirs erode the cave.
It's like an underground lake.
"You're storing water all the way inside the cave. I don't like to move around."
"Maybe it's connected to the ocean outside at the bottom. There's a demon out there, so we shouldn't be too close."
I checked the map app and there were some red dots on the underground lake.
I don't know what demons there are, and it seems better to stay away from them poorly.
"Friesia, what is it?
"I feel bad in this cave..."
Listening to the conversation between Knoll and the others, looking back, Friesia is looking around for something.
Showing this reaction means... a hit?
"It's dark and giddy and I'm cozy"
"That just goes well with Luna because it's dark... What about Sissha?
"Um, I feel like starch, but you're not even that much of a concern. It's not much different from the usual hunting grounds."
I'd like to believe the Freesia reaction, but the Sisha and the others don't react well.
But if it's sharp, it's like number one among us, so let's hope this is Freesia.
I caved in and jumped my chest for a quick reaction, avoiding the waters and starting to go back.
"Hmm? What is that?
"Shellfish, yes."
As he was proceeding to defeat the Cancer, he encountered a large shellfish along the way.
Nearly twice my back length, the fan-shaped curved shell looks like a chaco shell.
If you look at the map app, it shows up in red dots.
"That's a lot of shellfish. Brother, is that a demon too?
"Oh, you look like a demon"
"… will the shellfish also fall in contents"
... Ok, ignore some whining pony tricks and let's just see the status.

――――――
You mean defensive specialization? Still no magic resistance, so that's Mr. Estelle's bait.
"You have shellfish demons in crab gushing places."
"Oak springs up in the goblin forest, too, and I guess there's a hunting ground like this"
"Big shellfish. That looks hard, too."
"I'm going to attack you for now!
Ahead Friesia bowed and released an arrow.
And I hit the shellfish... but it bounced with a shallow scratch on my shell.
Even Freesia on boulders can't attack opponents who specialize in defense?
Still, it's amazing how shallow and scratched it is.
"Mmm, that shellfish is hard!
"Hehe, if you're a hard opponent, it's my turn, isn't it? Is magic resistance high?
"No, you have almost no magic resistance. Do it, Estelle!
"Leave it to me, yes!
Now Estelle comes forward and puts up a cane.
When the magic formation appeared at the tip of the cane, flames were sprayed from it and the shellfish quickly wrapped up.
The cancers, who were on that slope in Omake, are also swallowed up in flames collectively.
And when the flame spray was over...... making noises with juice, Shelfish disappeared into particles of light and dropped a round, white object.
Oh, is that... could it be!?
Running over and picking it up, it was a pearl about the size of a baseball ball.
"Oh, you dropped something beautiful."
"Um, what's that?
"That's a pearl. I didn't think you'd be picking up jewels in the ocean."
"It's so beautiful! You might want me!
"... you can't eat it."
Shh... I can't believe this stuff dropped because it's a shellfish demon.
It could be a rare species! and I checked my smartphone, but there were no more demon stones.
If this were a rare species, I would have been happier.
With the exception of one, we continued our cave search with a little excitement.
"Whether you knock it down or not, you won't get a rare species-like demon."
"Um, I don't even see anything turned into that. Isn't there nothing here?
"Hmm, I don't know..."
"I've only just begun my investigation, so I can't help emptying it."
We're going ahead while defeating Cancer and Shelfish, but so far we haven't found any anomalies.
But I told you before Sissha came in, don't worry about the lack of rare species.
I can't believe the guy lurking in the water is a rare species...
"Friesia, are you worried about something again?
"Mmm, I feel that way... I feel that way"
Friesia began to look around with Kyolo Kyolo.
I'm still mouthing things I'm not sure about, but is there really something?
What a thought...
"Oh, I found it!
"Here! Wait! It is!
Suddenly he runs out toward the underground lake, and Knoll rushes after him.
We rushed after it, too.
"Here! This is it. This is it!
Getting near the underground lake, Friesia crouched and picked up something.
And I turn around with my hands up, and I'm making an appeal.
Shortly afterwards, the map app showed a red dot going from the underground lake to Friesia and rapidly approaching.
I tried to tell it by screaming, but it was already too late, and a blister rises on her back and a giant red demon shows up.
Looks similar to a cancer, but carries a large roll of shellfish on his back. Covers nearly half his body.
Compared to normal individuals, they were more than a few times larger and both arms had huge scissors.
The demon who appears is about to shake one arm up early and head to Friesia in front of him and slap him.
In the meantime I took out an item and pressed the switch as I looked at Freesia.
The item… is a spatium that allows you to reposition yourself with the object.
The moment I pressed, I moved and there was a huge scissors swinging down in front of me.
Place the lid of the pan that was prepared in advance and take it.
"Whoa!
A smacked and zucchingly impact was transmitted to his body, but he stepped on it and bounced it back.
So he disfigured and retreated to the gap where he was standing, joining Knoll, who was coming after Friesia.
While a gap was finally formed, I also checked the status.

"Ogura Hall! Are you all right!
"Oh, he's out more than that! Watch out!
When Shell Cancer regains his position, he comes up from the underground lake.
And as he rattled scissors to intimidate him, he sprayed bubbles from around his mouth.
Dodging that with Knoll, the ground is heavily choosen by landing a bullet where we were.
Bubble blowing is a name, but it's not that easy...
Then he joined Estelle and the others, and me and Knoll came forward and started fighting for attention.
Knoll approaches at once and slashes his legs, blunting his movements with the ability of Legi Elitra.
Later, while alerting to the bubble blowing, he stumbled into Estelle's magic and hunted it down with a jitter.
With the magic of the wind he slashed his legs one after the other, and when he opened his mouth to make a bubble blow, he was slapped by Friesian arrows and Luna's spear, causing his body to lean back and fall as-is.
Plus Estelle sprayed the flaming magic she used on shellfish in her pursuit, and the falling shell cancer was engulfed in fire.
Can't you move? It is painful on the spot, but the movement is weakened by the relentless fire.
And when the scissors I was putting up to do my best fell to the ground, they disappeared from the edge of my body into particles of light.
"Huh, I can't believe I ran into such a monster in a cave..."
"I knew you were right not to come near the water. Is that the rare species here?
"Right. Maybe there's a lot going on at the bottom of the water. Do you want to thunder in?
"Stop me because it sucks when you come out all at once..."
Confirming the smartphone, one demon stone had been added.
Was that the rare species here...?
We could have defeated him without a problem, but I don't really want to deal with him.
Let's not hunt demon stones here.
"The hunting grounds are dangerous, so don't run on your own!
"Ugh, sorry......"
"It's fitting in a lot, but if anything happens, it seems to move reflexively."
Though the battle was safely over, Friesia, who had advanced, was angry with Knoll and dropped Shun's shoulder.
It's a lot better than before, but I'd like you to give me a break for moving suddenly.
"Well, you're safe now, okay?"
"Yes, but I think we should be more rigorous."
"For Heihachi, who has always been angry, it is a kind word"
Luna arms up and looks at something rare. Her eyes are on me.
I can't help yelling and being angry.
For that reason, I would like to encourage reflection in a somewhat unusual way.
"Friesia, I won't be mad at you this time, but from now on, if you find anything, you'll let us know. You're a good girl, so I'm sure you'll understand. I made a promise to Heihachi. Let's see, let's get our little fingers out."
"Ugh, yeah......"
"If you're lying to me, I'll take you on a demon stone hunt."
Friesia, who was always leaning down and reflecting, looks blue and looks at me and shivers.
I tried to make it sound like Knoll and the others were sporadically creepy... but I'm more scared than I expected.
"I'm more scared than a sermon..."
"I'm getting goosebumps."
"Um, it's like when you summoned me"
Yeah, I knew it, but I want that reaction to stop because it scratches.
"So what was it that Friesia found?
"Yeah, this is it."
"What, is that..."
When Freesia opened the hand she was holding...... something like a crushed black crystal was held.
This is the black Demon Light Stone that Diabols had...
