Vermillion

"Green Salamandel"

As the name suggests, he's a dumb, big lizard. Featuring a deep blue-green epidermis, it resembles a reptile named the Earth's 'commode dragon', whose body length exceeds ten meters in favor. He is the king of the woods, alongside the bear-shaped giant monster Grandurus.

I have a blunt image because of the giant, but contrary to what I see, the movement is quick. Specifically, it runs through the forest at a speed of about a light tiger running down the road. A body of ten tons of trucks. I can't shake it off with Kay's feet first.

The tough epidermis does not pass a half-breed attack and the thick meat is also shock-resistant. Thick arms, sharp nails, long tails and sharp teeth on the gizzards are all threats, but especially horrifying the thrust by their giants. Eat properly and you will not be spared death.

Such a monster appeared outside the village of Vaak...

Once in the past, the Big Bear (Grandurus) attacked and devastated that village.

"Holland... Did you look through the letter (this)?

After reading it, Kay sighed small and inquired, flickering the folded letter.

"No, I didn't open it. As manners."

Holland, who shook his head sideways, goes on to say, "It's just..."

"- I know what's going on. A messenger from the village of Vaak spoke to me."

"The messenger? Are you coming to Satina?

"Yeah, with the letter. I'm at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters now."

"I want to hear more about it. Will I see you?"

At one point, the letter said the general circumstances, but I never went over them if I could hear from the local residents. Because you might see something different.

"Of course. He must have come for that too"

Taking her to Holland, Kay and Irene head to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce headquarters in a hurry.

"……… What are you going to do?"

On the road, Holland asked with a serious face.

"……… I want to help"

Kay replied with few words.

By the side, with a strong sense of Eileen's presence.

†††

In the chamber of the Chamber of Commerce, sitting restlessly on the couch was a young boy who could still be described as a child.

"!! Mr. Kay! Please, help the village!

But his unusual face was drawn by tension and impatience, and when he saw Kay, he asked him for momentum that could be grounded. The boy's name is Theo, apparently. He's a relative of Ellidoor, the village chief in the village of Vaak, and he's going to be the son of his cousin.

"I want to cooperate. Can you tell me more about it?"

Kay smiled to calm Theo down and then asked him to "not panic about what happened and tell me in an orderly fashion from the start".

Theo, who sat back on the couch, began to tell the story quickly.

- After Kay and Eileen's activism confirmed the expansion of the [Deep (Abyss)] realm, the village of Vaak has heard rumors and gathered unruly explorers.

Of course, it is a valuable [deep (avis)] material, including the Abyss Pioneer, a spiritual flower that is the raw material for high magic drugs (high potions). Most of the Seekers were stuffed with loose ends, but some of them seemed to be skilled hunters and wildlings (rangers), and they were achieving results there.

He said that the shopping malls of the Chamber of Commerce had become habitual in the village, with no major trouble, and that the village of Vaak was vibrantly enlivened.

But about two weeks ago, a line of explorers found strange traces near the realm of [Deep (Avis)]. He said the grass had been extensively knocked down, leaving deep and huge footprints on the ground.

It was clear that some giant monster was there.

But the village to the [deep] realm was about an hour away on foot in the woods, and at that point, a hopeful observation was made that 'the monster just happened to want to pass through'.

That was smashed last week. The Seekers who went to collect "The Pioneer of Abyss" finally bowled together.

Huge, blue-green lizard monster and.

Including the tail, it's a dozen meters, with the king of the woods, the Great Lizard of the Woods.

"Among the explorers who were in the village, they were a relatively handsome quadruple, but only the two of them fled back with these bodies. They said the other two were eaten. Both, in a puffy bite. Instead of the artifact, I didn't leave a piece of cloth cut..."

Bullshit, I'm stuck. Shivering as if I've seen it, Theo.

"Eaten, or…………"

Kay looks at Irene. Irene listened to me in silence, but the look on her face is harsh. I'm sure you look similar yourself, Kay thought.

(- Remember how people taste?)

This is a very bad situation.

"How many days ago did those Seekers return?

"It was two days ago. I was told by the village chief (Elidoor) to ride with the shoppers of the Chamber of Commerce. I'm not too heavy for a chick, so it won't be a burden for a horse..."

"I see."

When the Kays traveled, it took four days from the village of Vaak to Satina. It went slowly in conjunction with the carriage of the caravan that accompanied him. On the contrary, Theo and the others must have flown quite a bit.

"When I left, the village was still safe. But the village chief said," It's probably only a matter of time. "'I need Kay's help', say... Now we should be evacuating women and children to nearby villages and consolidating our protection with men alone."

- This is how Theo was sent out for use, probably as part of the evacuation.

For once, Eridore also reported to the Lords, but because the village itself is safe and there are no sightings in the immediate vicinity of the village, it is difficult for the army to deploy.

But that was two days ago, too.

I don't know what's going on at this moment.

"Please, Mr. Kay! Please help the village!

"...... ok, thanks for talking to me. I'll work with you. I'm going to hurry as far as I can to the village of Vaak."

To Kay's powerful reply, Theo dazzled his face.

"Thank you very much!!

"I'll do my best. So you wait for me."

Pong, and tapped Theo's shoulder to encourage him, then Kay followed the room with Irene Holland.

"… So, the truth is, what do you think, Kay?"

After being far enough away from the room, Irene opens her mouth.

"…… To be honest, I don't know if I'll make it."

I didn't say it in front of Theo, but Kay's standout is cynical.

The victim arrived two days ago - the reward arrived sooner than I thought, but two more days had passed. I have no idea how the scope of action of the Great Forest Lizard (Green Salamandel) has changed. In the worst case scenario, the village would already be extinguished. It shouldn't even buy time for the tree walls in Pioneering Village.

"Either way, we can't leave right now. I need to get ready for everything, because they're the ones."

"Kai-kun... If you don't make it, can you defeat the Great Forest Lizard? It's wild to ask you when you slaughtered the Big Bear alone.

Holland is looking worried.

"As far as I know - it was a long time ago, but I've heard that at least a hundred trained soldiers and a siege weapon like a barista are needed to stop the" forest lizard ". At dawn in the Principality, every time they cut through the forest, they said there was a" forest lizard "death fight. It seems that there has been a tremendous amount of damage every time -" Forest Lizard "doesn't seem like an easy match to finish. If anything happens to you, I'm not anxious."

Holland - more like a natural disaster to the inhabitants of this world than a "forest lizard". Even when it comes to making a bi-perfection with "Big Bear" as the king of the woods, "Big Bear" rarely comes out of the woods in the first place because of its cleverness. Conversely, the "Great Forest Lizard" moves around lightly for the sake of its footwork because it is fearless due to its swine rush, and there are many clashes with local residents.

The Great Forest Lizard is more feared as a real threat.

"... well, I can never do it alone."

Kay responded frankly to Holland. "Eh," Holland rounded his eyes.

"So we have manpower. … Eileen."

I stopped my leg and turned back to my neighbor Irene.

Peek into clear, straight blue eyes.

"…… This is very dangerous."

"I know, I know."

Ni, and Eileen, who caught the edge of her mouth, smacked Kay's chest plate with a knock.

"- I'm going too. I'll take care of it. If I tell Satina to stay, I'll beat her up."

Eileen's mobility can attract and flirt with the Great Forest Lizard. There, Kay slaps from a distance. It's a hand I've used more than once in the game.

But - this is not a game. One wrong step and you die instantly. Dangerous. Very dangerous. I'm trying to throw that role round Eileen. I'm trying to send you to a dead place. Though I don't think her abilities would make it okay, it doesn't change that it's dangerous.

As a man, as a lover, I had feelings. If you don't do something about "The Monster Hunt" in the first place, you can live in peace and relaxation in Satina. "I want to try to help someone, even with my life," said Kay's childish self, just risking her life to hang out with me as well -

Nevertheless.

I know Irene's personality. It just seems rude to be rude to her to be sorry here or to say or get lost now Gudagda.

So - thank you.

"Thank you. I asked you."

All you have to do is take good care of it and challenge it so that you don't regret it.

"So I can't do it alone -"

"- It's possible for both of us! Husband in Holland."

Holland stared at Kay and Irene laughing invincibly in a complicated mood.

Cornwell Chamber of Commerce. Mage in your arms. He keeps investing in the glass just for the house, and when profits finally start to come on track these days, he's deliberately trying to stick his neck in the fight against a monster in a natural disaster.

What happens in case something happens to both of us? - It's something I don't even want to think about. And sadly, there was no right in Holland or the Chamber of Commerce to force them to stop. If the opportunity to surround the sorcerer again came, there would be room for reconsideration in the text of the contract. "Don't throw yourself directly into the fight against [deep] monsters," but write -?

Well, I can't even think about it right now.

- Then.

"What can we do?

I need to take it with me to "A bet with minutes" at all.

"Right...... at the moment, is there any way to know what's going on in the village of Vaak? Herald raven (homing crow)."

"It's not in our Chamber of Commerce. My contract with Lord Vasily hasn't been completed yet, and I haven't received the key message raven. The Langnic Chamber of Commerce has the monopoly on that hand, so it'll take a little while anyway."

"Langnic…… at Koo's."

Eileen shrugged. He is the merchant of the lord, who holds the kou down as a "refrigerator manufacturing machine". Eileen is not selling shadow magic as a means of communication and is weighing herself up, also to threaten the rights of the magicians belonging to his Chamber of Commerce and avoid being certified as' enemies' - it is troublesome to just be able to keep an eye on them, so it is the current situation that she is keeping secret when it comes to shadow real-time letter conversations (chats).

- What are we gonna do? Do you want to use it after sundown?

Still, Irene asked in a whisper, but Kay shook her head (wearing it).

'Let's not. Either way, we need to get out there. "

It was worth a thought, but I decided not to take any extra risks politically. There is also the possibility of a leak from the village of Vaak. I used shadow witchcraft to communicate with Vasily before because I was a trustworthy person, even though I was a messenger raven user.

"Do you give up the means of communication? Holland, if you will, have a carriage and some live goats, and some of the men of the village of Vaak to use."

"Okay. Mind if I ask for an application for once?

"The goat may be used as a candlestick. Shovels and such are meant to dig the ground and create traps. Worst of all, just carving a little groove cuts the momentum of the ramp. I want to use the terrain wherever possible. The carriage is for their transport."

"That means we need you too."

"Right. Ask for a minimal escort to put on the carriage if possible. When I'm ready, I'm going to go ahead with the lightweight first. Sasquatch's foot should be there in a day."

"I'm with the carriage, right?

Eileen is a little dissatisfied.

"If it's possible, we can go for two... but it doesn't make sense if Sasquatch is a jerk."

Looking up at the ceiling, in his head, Kay considered comparing if he ran Sasquatch with one of his own at maximum efficiency, if he rode with Eileen, and if Eileen came with Suzuka,

"Correction, I tell Sasquatch, Eileen rides the Suzuka, ahead of the Village of Vaak at full speed with the pace of the Suzuka. Assuming I hurry alone and make it exactly before the village is attacked, my ability as a cavalry cannot be harnessed because Sasquatch would be physically limited. We should give up on this possibility and cut it off from the start."

Then again, discuss it with Holland and decide on the details.

"Again, based on the pair against the" Forest Lizard, "I've never crossed a lot of guys who could fight... Holland, do you have any idea? The guy in the bow or crossbow right there who doesn't freak out in front of the" forest lizard. "

"…… Regardless of the skill of the shooting, a person who is not freaked out by the creature, will be a bit harsh in our Chamber of Commerce………………"

Holland pulls the edge of her mouth to Kay's request.

"I mean, I think it's tough in every chamber of commerce."

"…… Is that true?"

Whether it's a merchant's escort or a cautionary stick, you'll be prepared to fight burglars and wolves, but even [deep] monsters will be unexpected in boulders. Even Dougmar, an experienced escort who was previously with a Holland caravan, remembers that when the "Big Bear" came out, he was freaking out and knocking it down.

"Well, Holland's husband is about the procurement of supplies and" normal "manpower. What about the payment, Kay?

"Yes... what's wrong?"

"Oh, then how about we both, in the form of a deduction from demon prop sales. You can pay me in advance in cash, but it would be a waste of time to have it ready, wouldn't it?

"Thank you, so please. And Eileen, can you go to Montang and Koo's for a ride?

"Of course it's fine. What are you gonna ask for? I can predict."

"Order an arrow for Montane as soon as possible. Explain the situation, buy as many Long Arrows as you can, and ask for the addition of a" Blast Arrow "base. I just need to be ready by sunrise tomorrow. Kou has some magic items that I would like to order..."

"- If you ask Koo's husband for that, then finally -"

Eileen's ideas are also exchanged to decide what to order from Kou.

"Speaking of which, do you know Kay and his lord, the wandering sorcerer?"

"Sort of. There's a lot going on.... So, I don't mind if I go and use you, but what about Kay?

Eileen's question is a good one. Usually I would have bought arrows or ordered them from Koo myself.

- No, is it unusual for the two of us to act differently in the first place if it's recent?

That's what I think, and Kay answers even though she feels a little funny.

"- I'm visiting a candidate for help. Sasquatch should be able to take a day trip."

"A helper?"

"Candidate?"

Eileen and Holland with their necks tied together.

- What Kay needs right now in the battle against the Great Forest Lizard is someone who doesn't freak out and can act properly in front of the monster anyway.

Nevertheless, as Holland said earlier, there is no such thing as a person who has the guts to fight monsters.

But Kay had an idea.

A bow user, living near Satina and trustworthy.

He would have cooperated.

"Go to the village of Taaf. If it's a hunter's mandel, or"

- After Kay, he shined second in the martial arts shooting division, if that man.
