Watch Chemia drink tea with her expression of satisfaction.
It was amazing.
I can't believe I ate that big chunk of meat...
Well, what about the snacks after dinner ~
Eh!
Ah, but sweet stuff is called another belly.
"Is that enough?
The shopkeeper asks while handing over sweets and tea.
"Yes, it was really delicious. Thank you very much."
"I hope you did your best."
Yes, I wanted to ask you something.
We're still on break, okay?
"Um, I need to ask you something, okay?
Chemia and the owner nodded to my question.
"It's not a wall climb. Um, is that it? What's your name again?
The impression of climbing the wall is so strong that I can't remember the real name of the monster.
Uh, fo...
You mean Volgan?
Nod to the shopkeeper's words.
"Yes, what kind of monster is Folgan? I heard the monster repellent didn't work."
It's like a new monster, so I need you to listen to me.
"Volgan's meat is a bit muscular, so I recommend it for slowly simmered dishes. It's not uncommon to eat intestines."
The shopkeeper smiles bitterly at Chemia's words.
"Chemia, I don't think we need that information right now."
What?
Chemia looks at me strangely.
"I don't know what he looks like or how he attacked..."
"Oh, I see. He's got a long tail and a fat neck. It's because my legs are short and I climb the wall, and the soles of my feet are a little special."
... I can't imagine.
"Are there any similar monsters?
The shopkeeper shakes his head against his father's words.
"There are no monsters around here that resemble Volgan. There was a traveling adventurer in King's Landing... what was it, a toga? Was it Toba? And you said it was a little bit similar."
Toga? Toba?
If it were Toga, it would have been in the book.
He had a scale like a snake and looked a little bit alike.
It felt like a snake had short legs.
"I've never heard of Toba, so is it Toga? So it looks like a snake?
The shopkeeper leans on his father's words.
"Snakes? Hmm, if they say they're similar, are they similar? It's just thicker than a snake, with spikes on the tail and fangs."
Teeth?
Snakes have fangs, but I wonder if the owner's condition is a little different from that of snakes.
"It doesn't look very similar. Have you ever heard of a group of Volgans attacking us?
Chemia shook her head to the side of her father's words.
"I won't attack you like that. I've fought many times, but I've often acted alone."
I see. It seems to have a different habit than Toga, and it's a monster of a different lineage. "
"Volgan is good at water magic, right? I'm going to attack you with a little sticky water sphere, but that's the trouble. I can't get rid of the smell when I get to my body. It really sucks."
Are you attacking with water magic?
"That's right. Surprised, right?"
I nodded silently over and over again at Chemia's words.
Monsters have magic, but few monsters are used to attack.
Even monsters used to attack are mostly earth magic and fire magic.
I read in the book that there are monsters that use water magic, but I have never actually seen them.
"Are you free to treat what you're good at?
Chemia nods at his father's words.
I see. I was surprised when I first saw it. "
"Folgan is smart."
When attacking with magic, you need to imagine fire and dirt in your head.
It seems that monsters with strong instincts cannot be attacked by magic because they are bad at it.
"Yes, you're pretty smart. Unfortunately, the tricks have been broken."
"Are you setting it up?
Tilt your neck to see if it's different from the trap.
"I put a little trick on the wall so I couldn't climb it. It's pretty simple, like getting hurt on the soles of your feet when you step on it. Folgan was a brilliant evader of that place."
You're really smart.
Nevertheless, I'm glad we didn't meet when we spent the night by the village.
"How big is it?
Chemia opens her hands to my question.
"Well, there's at least three meters. I hardly see anything smaller than that. I mean, I only saw it once. I wonder if there were still two meters."
Does that mean we can't show ourselves to the kids?
Even so, it is 3m.
It's huge.
And then it's stiff.
"Stiff? Scale?
I see. A multi-sword that is not well maintained can easily be broken. It's really easy, Pachin. I'm just vulnerable to fire attacks. "
Your father leans against Chemia's words.
"You have scales?
I heard that scales have the power to prevent fire attacks.
"Face. A scaleless face when struck by fire. I can't because my body is full of scales."
I don't have scales on my face.
I see.
"Speaking of which, there were reports of people seeing Folgan in the nearest village."
The next village?
Chemia sighs at the owner's words.
"I heard that rumor, but is it true? If that were true, it would mean that Volgan's habitat is expanding."
It's dangerous for adventurers to spread the habitat of monsters that don't kill monsters.
Rest in the woods is dangerous.
"We'll start the investigation again. Who will be driven out?
"Forgan's investigation?
"Yes, I still don't know much about Volgan. I don't even know where it was born. So far, the hypothesis that you were born with a mutation is potent. They also say that someone created a monster."
Did you make it?
A monster?
"Well, there must have been some stupid rumors coming out of nowhere."
Really?
Is that it?
Your father's voice is hard?
"Well, Ivy. It's time to continue."
"That's right. Ah, is the beef bowl for dinner today?
The shopkeeper who was cleaning up the fire nodded happily to my words.
"Ready? I was worried about Me. They say it's a favorite of the druids."
"That's delicious."
You really like your father, don't you?
"It's okay. I have a little trick to cook, so I'd like to explain... please come to the kitchen two hours back from dinner time. We're going to finish making it by then."
"Okay. Yes, there are 10 guests. And Ivy and the others. And Chemia is about four people at night."
"I understand."
Think about the time of day and think about it in about 20 minutes.
That should be enough for guests to replace you.
…………
"I'm tired."
That's right, my arm hurts because I've been cooking all day.
For the time being, I don't want to have any balls or helmets.
It was hard to pinch because I'm not used to bread dough.
If I got used to making bread, would it be a bit easier?
"Good day, yes."
Take a glass from your father.
"Oh, isn't that tea?
"Ah, it looks like water with fruit juice from the village's specialty."
Specialty fruit?
"Sour. Oh, but refreshing."
The sourness comes when I put it in my mouth, but it is also sweet and refreshing in my mouth.
"They put a fruit juice called 'Pumpkin' in the water."
"That's right. It's kind of refreshing and delicious."
"Ah, you've made a lot of them. Did you make a lot of bread?"
"It was my first time making bread, so it was kind of fun. Besides, if I go on a journey, I'll never make bread."
I see. Thank you for today. Ask me about Folgan. "
I smile at your father's words.
Monster information is absolutely necessary when traveling, and I, as a child, ask a lot of questions.
"Tomorrow, I'll find out a little more about Volgan."
"What do you care?
My father carved his eyebrows between my questions.
"I'll look into it and I'll talk to you."
"Yeah, I got it."
I don't think that's a good story.
Be prepared.
