The next day, when I told Kaito about the reward, his eyes are empty.

''We cooperated with you, right?　Why don't you join the subspecies?

It was because Seigo was the one who let you go, wasn't it?

Well, that's what happened. Kaito banged his head against the desk before the relentless reality. It looks painful.

''So, Tact-kun's shop will be bustling with activity from today, right?

'We're going to start selling shaved ice and cold drinks, so we'll see what happens.

I'm sure it will sell...

I'm sure of it.

Well, I'm glad that's the case because everyone has a good reputation for it.

'A sub-human beauty cafe is bound to be a hit!　All male players are going!

When Kaito shouted, his classmates gave him a cold look. Can't this guy live without attracting attention to every single thing...

As it turned out, there was a huge line of people waiting in line. But the women were predominantly female and everyone was eating shaved ice. According to Lewin.

'You're underestimating the power of a fattening sweet treat that tastes almost as good as reality.

I'm sure that's what they say. That makes sense if you ask me.

I had to buy a lot of Yellow Ossa water from Mr. Lewin, who predicted that we would run out of ice. You can't win in business.

In case you're wondering, both Mr. Rudy and Hawkman were the shaved ice staff. It's manual. It was a good moment to have three men.

Well, we decided to head out into the mangrove forest. The members of the team were Ix, Bran, Toratetsu, Gale and Chess.

We took out the Arkwurm and set sail!

We set sail, and we got a big welcome. First these guys.

Howezal Lv. 15.
Normal Monster Target Active

Uakari Lv 15.
Normal Monster Target Active

First there were the howler monkeys, and as soon as they shouted, a lot of them gathered around. I thought it was odd because they were just screaming in May and not doing any damage, but apparently they were calling their mates.

The Ucari, a rare monkey from the Amazon, has been gathering in large numbers and is currently getting a lot of stuff thrown at it. I feel like an athlete being thrown garbage by the supporters.

However, I don't feel good about being beaten silently.

'Ix, can you annihilate these guys?

It is possible.

The quintessential Ix.

Do it.

Yes, Master.

The monkeys' voices turn to screams. There's no escaping Ix, who has mastered the information of the field and even ricochets. They've learned what happens when you throw things at people.

'I'm sorry, Master... Master...we let a few of them get away.

I'm afraid energy gun range is not very good for you... but if they come near you again, take them down.

Yes, Master.

When Ix replies, the ship hits something. It can't be a rock... but then something wraps around his body and drags him backwards. Is this tail an anaconda!

Master!

My Lord!

I pull out my scarlet ring and stick it in my tail. The searing heat kicks in and the anaconda burns. I manage to free myself from the tail, but I see the entire river burning. Wait a minute... isn't it too big?

The anaconda reveals itself. Identify.

Giant Anaconda Lv 25
Tame Monster Target Active

A giant anaconda...as long as a river as far as I can see is probably too much.

The Giant Anaconda goes for me, but Bran uses a provocation and catches the Giant Anaconda's rush with his star frost shield and pops it.

'Now!'

Toratetsu leaps and aims at the giant anaconda's face with his taiji, stabbing it with his sword. Furthermore, Ix produces a blade of energy with his energy sword and rips his head off.

''Blitz!''
Gaaaah!

Me and Gale tried to use lightning magic, but the info comes.

'You can't use magic here.

"...

Gail's gaze meets mine. This is embarrassing.

Then Gale stabbed me with his horns, and with an electric discharge, he killed the giant anaconda. Gail... pretended it never happened.

"Lord... get a grip!

Look! I felt like I was the only one who missed it! And so is Gail! Then the ship vibrated again, and Bran fell over, and I held him close.

'And are you okay?'

...

Bran?

'What?　No, I'm fine!

Bran leaves. Then Ix turns his zit eyes on him.

'I'm not sure about flirting. Master.

Make out?

'You just held him as he fell over from the vibrations...!　Ix!　Behind you!

Behind Ix was a huge fish. Is that guy the one with the vibrations!

Iksu takes a water breath and flies at me. He hugs Ix and uses her as a shield.

"Master...

Huh...

I'm trying to hold on, but it's tough...

Lord!

Bran took it for me with his Hoshimori shield. Toratetsu stabbed the fish that had been concentrating on the water breath with his taiji, and when he slammed into the ship, Chess and Gale bit him, and Toratetsu bit him and finished him off.

Master... are you all right?

Yeah, you took quite a bit of damage, but you'll be fine.

Bran recovers and Bran asks Iks Ix as I go to dismantle him.

'Wasn't that flirting?'

I did not. But I was glad to have a master who protected me against myself.

We were desperate over here. We're taking apart the giant anaconda and the mystery fish. I got the skin and this from the anaconda.

Anaconda meat: rare grade 4 food quality E
Anaconda meat. The meat has a strong odor, so it is important to find a way to get rid of it. It is said to be light in taste and surprisingly delicious.

Pierc: Rare Level 4 Food Quality E
A huge freshwater fish that lives in rivers. It is a freshwater fish with no odor and a mild taste. It's so big that you can eat your fill.

Ah....this is a pierc...one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. But it's still huge. The size of the monster is strange here. The size of the monster is huge, so is the meat.

I am concerned about the pierc, but the meat of the anaconda is difficult to resist. The explanation is also said to be...well, everything is a challenge.

"Is Ix ready for battle?

...severe.

You said no water. We shouldn't force him to do anything here. I'll call Yu Fang instead of Ix. It seems that Iks couldn't detect the water enemy, but Yuu Fang will be fine.

As I proceeded with the ship, the peerages came out one after another. Here are the identification results.

Pialk Lv 25.
Tame Monster Target Active

Yu Fang could detect it, so he could counter the shaking. When Bran and Chess challenged and attacked me, I was able to eliminate the shaking. By the way, in addition to meat, we also got some materials from Piarque. Here they are.

Pialk's Scales : Rare Level 4 Material Quality E
Scales from pialk. It is used as a water-resistant and waterproof material.

They will be useful in the mangrove forest. I've collected a few of them, the Japanese fox is sleeping, and I'm busy, so I'll sell them to Mew.

With that in mind, we come to a dead end. I had no choice but to turn around and return to the fork in the road. We went back to the fork in the road. Another fork in the road.

Fog and maze, or...I really like to be harassed. The management of this place.

And there are so many forks in the road, it's like a maze that's more complicated than I expected. You'll come to another dead end, where you'll have to update the warp point and go back.

When you get back to Reeping, you go to the Beast Demon Guild and ask Nephi about ink or ink, and she says you can use the squid ink you can get from the ink bag in the squids. There was such a thing. I had forgotten about it. So I drew a map of the mangrove forest with bagasse paper, squid ink, and Finist's quill pen.

This will be a good way to get a little bit of a strategy going. Now that the map is done, I decided to log out.
