“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.
