“Anyway, we hope you will be able to defeat the sea dragon Lapros.”

Baris proceeded to talk with me in spite of my hesitation.

The island of Bamba, where the sea dragon Lapros lives, is surrounded by a relatively shallow sea, which used to be the best place for hunting Todros.

However, the number of Todros that can be taken has decreased considerably since Lapros has made it impossible to get close to the island.

In other words.

About us who came to stock up on Todros materials on orders from the guild after learning that the monsters had taken up residence.

Naturally, they took it as a sign that we were looking to defeat the special class monster.

If it was a high-grade monster, of course we would have been willing to quickly defeat it. However, if it was a special class monster, it was a different story.

“The sea dragons are preying on them, but the Todros are still living in the area?”

“The truth is that they don’t live in the same area. Originally, there are many small fish called summer, which is the staple food of the todros, in the shallows around there, so the todros have no choice but to make that area their base in order to feed efficiently.”

“Of course, it seems there were several schools that left Bamba Island!”

Now, they are targeting the shoals away from the island when the waves are relatively calm.

Naturally, the amount of todros caught in a single outing is drastically reduced compared to the past when the shoals were full of them.

“By the way, if we keep going at that pace, how long will it take to prepare 『Materials for 80 Todros』?”

“Without defeating the sea dragons? If that is the case, it will probably take about a month. There are only a few days when we can take the ship out, and the amount we can take is also small. As for the inventory, Marcella, a merchant, bought almost everything just a few days ago, so there is nothing left.”

“…… I see.”

This was quite crazy.

I had thought that this was an errand that would take at most a week to ten days, including the four days for the round trip, but at this rate it would be 3 or 4 times longer than that.

And if the information I’ve been getting is correct.

I can’t spend that much time on this request.

“I guess that means taking down that special monster is the quickest way to get my work done.”

“Isn’t that why you came here?”

“The job I received from the guild was only to ‘stock up on Todros materials and it does not include killing special class monsters. However, if it is necessary to defeat the sea dragon Lapros in order to get materials, I will do my best in that area as well.”

“Thank you.”

Baris bows deeply.

From a different angle, I was quite thrilled to see something I shouldn’t have seen.

“By the way, are you going to participate in the subjugation?”

The look from my sister-in-law Clarice hurt me, and I hurriedly decided to move on to the next part of the story.

If it really is a special class monster that is nesting there, then it becomes possible that we will need to do more preliminary work to defeat it than we could do on our own.

“We will cooperate as much as we can.”

“Wait a minute!”

There, Gorgo, who had not said much before, suddenly interrupted the conversation.

“What is it?”

‘I understand that you’re going to help us take down the sea dragon Lapros! But if an unskillful guy stands in front of that special class monster, he’ll be killed in an instant!”

“That’s true.”

I knew exactly what he meant.

That’s how special class monsters are.

That’s why I wasn’t going to go myself.

“So what you’re saying is, ‘Show me your ability?'”

Saying this, Burgess stepped forward on my behalf.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about! Show us your muscle power!”

With that, Gorgo sat down in a wooden chair and rested his elbows on a wooden desk.

“Interesting. All right.”

And on the opposite side of the table, Burgess sits.

“Arm wrestling?”

“Why would you start something like that, right here, right now?

Your skill at defeating monsters as an adventurer and your arm-wrestling prowess are probably not that deeply related.

Palms gripped tightly together.

After glaring at each other, the two began to exert force from either side.

“Nutt…….”

“Gugu……”

What are these guys doing ……?

Muscle strength is part of combat power, but of course not equal.

“My muscles, my muscles are roaring!”

“Wow. What a fight!”

But for some reason, Loloi and Clarice were very excited.

The two grabbed each other’s arms, which already seemed to be filled with considerable strength.

From the arms to the shoulders, the muscles are heaving, and the desk makes a creaking sound.

“Amazing, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a fight of this magnitude. Isn’t it the first time in several years that an opponent who can’t be defeated instantly by Gorgo appears!?”

Barris was also entranced, watching the battle with rapt attention.

The fight seemed to be a big hit with the ladies.

I was a bit sad when I tried to look at the muscles in my biceps.

“That’s amazing. What’s your name?

“Burgess. ……and you?”

“Gorgo. I just said my name.”

“I’m not interested in men.”

“Don’t say that …… hmph!”

Gorgo’s arms are now more powerful.

Burgess begins to be gradually pushed and his arm gradually drops.

“Hang in there Burgess!”

Clarice’s cheering brings a little strength back into Burgess’ arms.

“Uh-oh.”

“Gnu, gnu, gnu, gnu. ……”

Burgess gradually recovered and his fist was back to the center again.

The desk he gripped with his other hand made a creaking sound.

“Uh-oh!”

“Ggggghh!”

The two become bright red and put all their strength into each other.

The yellow cheering turned into all-out support.

And ……

Finally, with a tremendous sound, the desk, no longer able to withstand the force of the two men, shattered.

“The desk shattered!”

“What a wonderful battle!”

“Woohoo! It’s an arm wrestling like no other!””

That’s ridiculous ……

Burgess and Gorgo once released their clasped hands in mid-air, and now they clasped each other stiffly in the form of a handshake.

“Way to go, Burgess!”

“You too. Gorgo.”

On the side, Clarice, Loloi, and Baris clapped and praised the two muses.

I’m a total mosquito.

“It’s a muscle friendship. I’m jealous.”

And somehow, Loloi is as excited as a treasure hunt.

“Burgess! Do it with Loloi too!”

“Oh, yeah!”

And then, for some reason, the Loloi vs. Burgess arm-wrestling match begins.

Burgess, who was holding hands with Loloi, began to look incredibly disheveled.

“Okay, go slow at first, then gradually build up your strength. ……”

“Rigid activation muscle!”

“What?”

Burgess’ face instantly twitched at Loloi’s call to activate her strengthening skills.

“Uoooo!!”

And in the next instant, Burgess’ body flipped around with Loloi’s shout, and he plunged head first into the floor.

“Yay! Loloi wins!”

“No, no, no, it’s a foul to use strengthening skills ……”

But even if the skill reinforces the skill by 2x, it is usually impossible to turn over a burgess with Loloi’s slender arms.

Either that or Burgess was out of his depth.

Is Loloi’s strengthening skill set more than the usual 2x enhancement?

Or is Loloi’s basic muscle strength more than it appears?

“You’re good, girl! You’ll have to fight me too.”

“Yes, sir!”

“I, unlike Burgess, don’t hold back.”

“I’m all for it!”

Loloi now began arm-wrestling with Gorgo as well.

Gorgo usually said something like “Gununununu” and played with Loloi while turning red in the face. ……

In the end, he lost.

“Seriously. ……”

Then, after looking stunned and soulless, he began to praise Loloi’s muscles.

“You mean to tell me that muscles aren’t all about looks? I saw new possibilities for muscle today!”

“I don’t know about you, but it seems that a friendship as hard as muscle has developed between the three of us.”

Loloi, seriously.

Baris and Clarice were clapping tearfully beside her throughout.

Seriously, what the hell am I being shown?
