132 Chapter 8-8 Shrimp Festival

"Now that we're on the lake... Shiloumal, Solomon, I'm sorry, but you're not here today."

The two of them, who immediately started warming up about the lake, hardened when they heard my words. Regardless of Solomon, who crashed yesterday, I think Shiloumal looks cute because he left a message in his bag, but he's going to check the bottom of the lake today, so the two of them don't have a turn.

The two depressingly trying to get back to the bag looked strange when they noticed the unnamed slurlin sitting next to me.

"Slalin needs help in some cases, so don't ask for it with your intentions"

Slalin, who heard it, let her body bounce loudly as if she understood. Shiloumal and Solomon to see how it goes and raise their voices in protest. It was so loud that I wouldn't end up taking them to the bottom of the lake, but the two settled in that they were free to stay as long as they didn't leave this hierarchy.

"All right, let's get started... normally, all the time first"

The way I came up with it yesterday is the way I always do it when I'm camping, etc., where I tie a line around myself and dive into the water. If this works, there should be no water infiltrating the junction even if it enters the water. The problem is oxygen, but that's just what you have to do to get up to land regularly. It's a little troublesome, but if a shore creature wants to spend time in the water, there's no choice.

So, after trying...

"I can't... I didn't think I could even focus on myself, even though I naturally fixed the place..."

Like when defending, you can't move what you just put out, and you can move what you put around you, but if there was a rocky obstacle on the ground or the ground was booming, the edge of the junction caught in that place and stopped moving. So I got a little creative, put a line over my head, and did it in a way that would give me an umbrella. The umbrella type junction was superior to the two methods we did earlier, but with water coming in at our feet every time we moved, our feet were always immersed in water. If there was a large rock on the path, it would have been troublesome because I had to get over it. Well, it's the easiest of the three methods to use, so this is the first candidate... dissatisfaction remains.

"Well, I guess I'll only use it for about two or three days, so I don't even need to get that elaborate. Do you want to take a break?"

I decided to make a fire and boil water in an attempt to catch a breath. The boiling water was transferred to the cup and brought closer to the mouth, but the water was hotter than I thought, and the temperature I could not drink without breathing and cooling several times.

There was something flashing as I breathed in the hot water somewhat confused.

Speaking of which, I've never used wind magic before.

There are more attributes in the junction than I use as magic, and what I usually use was a junction of no attributes or earthly magic, so I completely forgot the junction of other attributes. The junction has characteristics for each attribute, and if it is non-attributed, it can create transparent walls, and if it is soil magic, it can create walls made of soil or rock.

If there are other optical attribute boundaries, they have the effect of making one's appearance invisible or difficult to see. By the way, the light-attribute junction was used by Jeanne and the others to hide themselves in the dungeon, but since they were able to tension it because they had the aid of magic props at that time, the two of them cannot use it now.

The wind magic junction is said to be the most plain of the junctions because instead of having a lot of defense, it is the biggest characteristic that you can control your odor not to leak to your surroundings... So not many people use it in a normal adventurer. However, it's not that I don't see it at all because people who use forests as their center of activity or who live in forests such as elves prefer to use them.

In my case, I had been working in the woods of the elders since I was a kid, but I didn't feel the need to remember because I could erase my signs and magically defeat my prey from a position where the smell didn't reach me.

"Well, the wind magic junction is not very different from the unattributed junction, so you'll be able to do it after a few exercises"

All junctions only differ in the type of magic power used, making little difference in the activation itinerary. So as I thought, I could use it in the same way I thought wind magic junction in a few exercises. I checked it at a depth place to the waist area for once, but the wind magic junction worked as well as I thought it would, never wet my clothes...... I just couldn't help it until my foot was muddy on the boulder and my shoes got dirty with mud.

When I went back to land and explored the bag, I found the boots I bought a long time ago so I changed them and then went back into the lake and started looking for Mithrills. It was good to the feet and hips, but I was a little scared to say that when the water came to the height of my chest and head I was sticking a domed junction. About enough we explored our feet at depths to the bottom of the critical face and moved to depths where the junction completely sank into the water a little used to. The junction was about three meters in radius around me, and when it hit rocks and other obstacles, it changed the shape of the junction to swallow the obstacle.

"It's like you're in a bubble."

I forgot my original purpose for a while and enjoyed an underwater walk. There are so many demons of aquatic habitat that if I thought the demons who found me were going to attack me, I wouldn't have stopped by at all against my expectations. Sometimes he approached me, but he either bared next to the junction or hit the junction and flipped away in surprise.

"Out of the blue, maybe you have a bad eye. Or maybe you can't see me because of the refraction of light."

Alarm is a great enemy, but you may not need to be particularly vigilant around this. That's what I thought, and while I was at it, I stepped on the angler cat I was hiding at my feet and fell. Apparently, Anglercat, who often stood still at the bottom, came into the junction hidden without ever running away from the junction.

I panicked, too, but the suddenly stepped angler cat seemed more surprised, trying to escape in a rampage within the contiguity, but was caught by a slurrin jumping out of the bag and stabbed to a stop. By the way, the cause of Anglercat's death was a blow to the brain caused by a fork used by Slalin during his meal.

"Are there some of these things? You mean watch your step."

I shrugged to myself as I bagged the angler cat Slalin defeated. Slalin was reaching out and pecking at my legs as if she'd listen to me and tell me to be careful.

After I retightened my mind, I started checking my surroundings as originally planned.

Looking for foot and rock shade while observing closely, more weapons and protective equipment were found than in shallow waters. However, as much as that, bones were discovered that seemed to belong to people.

"Maybe he fell into the lake. They must have eaten it since it was transported to the deep field by demons."

I put my hands together gently and then picked up the weapons and protective equipment that were scattered around. I can't pick up all the bones, so I'll leave them there, but if the pickup has a name or something engraved on it, I have to think about reporting it to the Alliance. Well, I suppose it will be a consultation with the Alliance as to what to do with the pickup, but even such artifacts will not be confiscated unless there is so much to be done, since the items picked up in the dungeon will basically belong to those who picked them up.

Continuing to collect it like that, I was able to pick up nearly 100 kg of gear in about three hours. Some of them were magic bags and so on, so depending on the contents you would expect to make a lot of money. Moreover, the treasure will still be asleep because this time I checked it was about one-fifth the size of the entire lake.

For once, the deadline for exploring the dungeon is seven days, so the rest is three and a half days. At this rate, I think we'll be able to look around all the bottom of the lake within the deadline. You'll just have to look around... then, once you're back on the ground, you'll have to come back here. I don't like my grandfather getting mad at me again for the boulder, so I'm not willing to shut up and extend my dungeon life.

"Well, let's get started"

Back on land, I boiled the water and decided to sort the pickup after a break. Shiloumal and Solomon were hunting quite a few demons while I was at the bottom of the lake. Therefore, I decided to skewer some of them appropriately and bake them with a different one. Now he's waiting around the corner, dripping yodels. The management of the fire at once is slurrin, so if it burns, it will be fed properly.

Among the pickups obtained at the bottom of the lake, there were about twenty kg of those made of misrils, and all the others were made of demonic iron and iron. The reason why there were so many Mithril's was because they found a few Mithrill protective gears in full gear. Probably a highly-ranked adventurer or something rich. As a victim, I know it's inconceivable, but as far as I'm concerned, I appreciate it.

And the bags I care about are two velcro bags and one dimension bag. They are in poor condition together, but they do not seem to be broken, so it seems that they can be opened without any problems.

"The first is...... mainly medicine and food? Sounds like you don't have much good stuff. The second one is... not much different."

I tried to open it from the magic bag, but the first one was no big deal. The second only contained roughly the same thing, and the bag was more valuable. By the way, the quality of the bag isn't very high and it only seems to go in to about 30-50kg.

"And I'm more of a dimension...... seriously!

The dimension bag was about 3m square in size inside and had no distinctive shoulder straps such as this, but contained misrill ingots and the like in it. Others included gold ingots, silver ingots, and magic iron ingots. The lack of distinctiveness in the bag may have been a disguise for not being able to understand that there are expensive items inside.

"Maybe it's something I stole... but it's none of my business"

It's hard to think that just an adventurer had all this ingot, so I also thought maybe it belonged to a merchant, but eventually I thought there was no way a merchant would come to this place, and I decided to think these were stolen... Well, there was no sticking out a request to search the bag or anything in the guild, so it shouldn't be a problem to keep it mine.

"Magic bags are going to cost a lot once they're sold."

I have never sold or bought a magic bag before, so I don't know how much it will cost, but it must be a magic bag, so there will be a lot of demand.

"But I don't need any money... do I give it to Amy?"

Yi-chan, I think it's just fine to save your bait, so maybe you'll be happy... it's pretty dirty... but you don't think they pushed you through the garbage, do you?

I felt such anxiety that I dropped the mud from the bag with the water I had magically put out and did a light moisture wash.

The three bags, which were somewhat cleaner, were put together in a bag of hemp before being placed in the bag. I'm going to do some minor repairs in my spare time, but now I'm behind.

"Slalin, if we take a little more break, we'll go again."

Slalin has shown her commitment by letting her play her body against my words. On the ground, it's supposed to be time for the sun to go down, so given the meal time and the break time, you won't be able to look into the bottom of the lake for very long, but it's a shame not to go. Therefore, I decided to go to the place I checked today as if I were going to go back.

"Here's how you look at it again, you have quite a few little fish,"

Previously, all eyes had gone to demons like Anglercat and Wanimodoki, but a peek into the gaps in the rocks, behind them, etc. had quite a few small fish, etc. Well, the fact that there are large fish (demons) is not normal that there are creatures to feed on them, but it was a common sense seemingly unusual space called a dungeon, so I didn't think of it until I actually saw it.

"That's a lot of shrimp too...... whoa!

At his feet, a small shrimp was moving in the mud. Some of them were occasionally large shrimps, so they quickly changed their purpose and began capturing shrimps for meals.

There are two types of shrimp found, one like a swamp shrimp, about three to five cm in size. The other type is shrimp like a handsome shrimp, which is about 10 to 20 cm in size, excluding scissors. The scissors were roughly half the length of the body.

"I care about the mud, but if you eat it with baked or fried food, it looks delicious"

I was thinking which dish to cook while I put the shrimp I caught in another bag. The look is no different from a regular shrimp, so you can expect the flavor as well.

The shrimp gathered approximately two hours after the start of the capture is such that the swamp shrimp does not reach about 500g with approximately three hundred and the hand-held shrimp does not reach 10kg with approximately one hundred. It was more massive than I thought the handsome shrimp would be, but the size is 50-200g, so I have to divide it by size when cooking.

After returning to land, the shrimp was allowed to mud out in a bucket filled with genuine water. I want to let it mud out for at least half a day, so I decided to cook the shrimp tomorrow night and make it easy with bread or something today. I was disapproved of it from Shiloumal and Solomon, but when I served the rest of yesterday's baked fish, I grew older.

"After all, it's more efficient than shallow fields. Tons of them today."

The next day, I woke up and did my job, and I'm still looking for Mithril at the bottom of the lake today. I'm diving alone today, and Slalin is overseeing the Shiloumals on land. Because if we don't, the two of us are going to have a demonic seizure.

As long as there is no slurin, you must be aware of the signs around you, but once the protective equipment is properly equipped, you will not be seriously injured unless there is more to it.

"There's plenty of shrimp, but if you don't stop here, I can't tell you about Shilowmalls."

Just like yesterday, shrimp was moving around in the mud at his feet, and when captured to filter mud with monkeys, he was jumping energetically in monkeys. Even though I haven't eaten yesterday's shrimp yet, they're going to ask me if I still need to catch it, but if I had imagined shrimp heaven or shrimp fried, I would have reached for nature and shrimp.

"All right! Let's focus on finding Mithrills!

In order to forget the shrimp, I deliberately spoke out and started looking for Mithrills, but every time I discovered a big shrimp, I would have no choice but to reach out.

Then I kept looking for misrills (and shrimp) until my concentration ran out, resulting in an amount of pickup that exceeded yesterday (shrimp likewise exceeded yesterday's amount).

"Of a hundred and fifty kg, is Mithril twenty kg... don't feel less because yesterday was too good"

Originally, Mithril 20kg is worth so much as a fortune to a normal person, but nothing, I'm not in trouble with gold, and even if I put everything together in the first place, it hasn't reached half of my goal, so this is the only thought that comes first... If Jin and the others ask me, I'm going to get into it as much as I want.

"Well, don't you need to rush that far? More than that, you're a shrimp now."

I stopped sorting the pickup, stuck my hand in the bucket and grabbed up the handheld shrimp. The handsome shrimp attacks me with scissors, but I hardly feel any pain because I don't have much power to pinch them.

"Why don't you start by baking it to Orthodox"

Shaking salt gently on the shrimp, stabbing it on the skewer and approaching the fire, the shrimp changed red as I saw it, gradually smelling good. Along with that, there will be an increase in the quantity of Shiloumal and Solomon.

"I guess it's time. The shell doesn't seem too hard, so I was wondering if I could eat it."

I don't like parasites or anything, so I put enough fire through it and then I stuck with the handsome shrimp. The shell of the handsome shrimp can be chewed up without any problems as I thought, and the fragrance appeared because it was baked, but I think its tongue on the other hand is poor and my taste is divided. Well, it had nothing to do with our eaters.

When I found out there was nothing wrong with the taste of shrimp, I was accidentally in a gutsy pose. Shrimp was one of my favorites in my previous life, so I was happy to be able to taste it again. By the way, I also tried baking swamp shrimp, but this one tasted thinner than handsome shrimp. However, for the small and thin shell, eating the whole thing never bothered me like a handsome shrimp.

"Next, tempura at last"

When I say shrimp dish, it's this in me! That's shrimp heaven. I don't want to throw away shrimp fries either, but that takes a lot of work, so I won't try it this time. Instead, I'm going to make a fried marsh shrimp. A thin marsh shrimp with a shell would be suitable for frying.

For this tempura garment, a mixture of thin powder and rice flour is used without eggs. Oil is vegetable oil.

Pour the oil into the pan and light it on fire, peel off the shell of the handsome shrimp and treat it down. Of course I won't forget to cut the tip of my tail. You can make clothes using cold water and mix them with a lot of clutter.

I just finished preparing my hand shrimp and clothes, and the oil got hot in good time, so I put in the hand shrimp with my clothes on.

"Oh, that sounds good"

Shiloumal and Solomon, attracted by the sound and smell of juju, also waited for the tempura to fry now or now.

"Is it time?

I pulled the shrimp out of the pan at a time when my clothes turned fox. Shortly after pulling up, Tempura pulled up all ten shrimps she put in, waiting for the surface to cool down a little and put them in her tease mouth, as the oil still made a noise with her clothes.

"Good!"

Tempura was better than I thought. The shrimp didn't smell muddy, it was sweet, and I couldn't resist the prickly teeth. Above all, freshly fried seemed to multiply the taste.

"K ~ n"

"Cu ~"

When I was touched by the flavor of shrimp heaven, I heard a squeal coming from right next door. When I turned to the side with a hack, two faces drooling as much yodel as this still was, were right in front of me.

From the fried shrimp I dared to take a larger shrimp heaven in front of my mouth, and they both bite with great momentum. Fortunately, I had a tail, so I never got bit, but I got in a pretty hurry.

The second shrimp heaven ate with salt on it, but it was still delicious. When this happens, I want Tentsuyu, but I don't have all the ingredients, so I had to give up.

Tempura also liked the slurrin and tried to fry her while she was feeding the three shrimp heavens. Only swamp shrimp was used for stirring, and its swamp shrimp was only treated enough to wash the surface lightly, too. If I had put dozens together in a bowl, I used the clothes left over when I fried shrimp heaven.

"I don't have any balls, can I have my hand?"

Once you've put the stir-fried spring in the oil by the clue and shaped it flat with chopsticks, it's done if the whole thing turns foxy with an occasional flip.

"I'd like to put it on udon, put sauce on, put it on rice and eat it ~"

The stir fried every shell, so it was fragrant and delicious. Of course I like the three of them.

Because of this, he embarked on the mass production of shrimp heaven and kayaki, and a few hours later he made over two hundred shrimp heaven and kayaki over a hundred.

Nearly half of them were consumed immediately, but the rest were set aside for snacks and meals starting tomorrow. Half of them were to be souvenirs of my grandparents and stored in a magic bag. If you have a magic bag, it would be very helpful because you can eat freshly fried food. By the way, I thought the shrimp I caught today wasn't muddy enough, but that didn't happen.

"Starting tomorrow, we'll have to work hard on finding Mithril and capturing shrimp."

If shrimp tastes good so far, and for the capture of shrimp, which has grown as important in me as the search for misrills, I collected a large number of stones falling nearby and put them into a mountain in the lake. If this works, a pile of stones could be like a residence.

"Maybe we should take a look later tomorrow."

Next time we came, we were going to go back to where we rested yesterday, trying to get something like a crab basket.
