Fish with huge tusks are rare for Ray, too.
　At least the fish that now exists in front of Ray's eyes was the first one I've ever seen.
　It is about two meters long and larger than a ray.
　However, it is not so long and slender as saury, but rather similar to tuna.
　...it's just the whole shape of a fish that looks like a tuna, and it doesn't have tusks.
　There are big saber tiger tusks growing out of the mouths of fish that I saw in books or something when I was in Japan.
　The difference from the saber tiger would be the number of big tusks.
　Saber Tiger featured two fangs growing from his upper jaw, but the fish ahead of Ray's gaze had fangs growing from his lower jaw as well as his upper jaw.
　Nevertheless, the reason why tusks do not bump into each other is probably because they bite their prey.

"It's amazing, isn't it?"

　One of the adventurers proudly says that Ray cannot be easily pleased.
　That fish is certainly amazing.
　It's amazing, but it's a place where you can catch this kind of fish... coming near the edge of the waves, as a person who sleeps by the lake, is far from happy.
　At the same time, one of the reasons for regret is that the unknown monsters in the lake did not get the magical stones to use in the art of the beast.
　Not all magical stones used in the art of the beast are acceptable.
　It was necessary to take part in the battle and fight against the enemy, no matter how low the damage was.

"Oh, I think it's amazing... but how did you knock this monster down? Considering its size, you can't get to the shore, can you?"

　Given the size of the fish, I don't think we'll be able to get anywhere near the shore.
　If they were forced to approach, the size and depth of the body would make it impossible for the fish to move.

(Oh, by any chance, did you knock him down when he couldn't move? If that's the case, the fish would look like a fool.)

　A proud adventurer opens his mouth with a smile at Ray, who thinks so while gazing at the fish.

"You can see that this dorsal fin is approaching the water. To prevent it, we went into the lake and knocked it down. If this was a deeper place, it might have been difficult to knock it down. It was a shallow place, so to some extent it worked out."
"Oh, did you come to a disadvantageous shallow place? This fish is a fool, too. ... Well, I'll save you."

　As a fighter against monsters, it's definitely going to help in the sense that it's easy to fight if you're stupid.
　However, if Ray thinks that his stupidity influenced him toppling him before he came back, it's not something he can honestly.

"Right? We used to have Rey prepare meals, but let's cook and eat this fish today."
"Oh... yeah. Well, I don't think there's any problem with eating fish in this lake."

　When this lake was just metastasizing, adventurers caught and grilled fish from the lake.
　Ray did not eat the lake because he was half sure it was from another world, but the adventurers who ate the fish in the lake seemed to be fit to call it healthy, without all complaining of stomach pains.
　As far as that is concerned, we can predict that there will be no problem eating the fish in this lake.
　However, there may be some fish like pufferfish that are poisonous, so I can't feel completely at ease.
　Nevertheless, if you act so alertly, you will be unable to do anything.
　He also tells himself that for Ray, this body made by Zepyle and his associates doesn't seem to be able to manage with the poison of the fish around it.

"Well, today is a party with Kerberos meat and this fish. ... There are a lot of people, so I'd like more ingredients if possible."

　As he says so, the adventurer looks expectantly at Ray.
　Ray knew full well what it meant, but intentionally said otherwise.

"Okay. Then don't fetch more fish with tusks with me."

　Ray said so out of a natural desire for a magical stone.
　I remember that monsters coming out of the lake didn't have a magical stone when I thought that the monster's magical stone that adventurers had knocked down was, of course, impossible to use in the art of witchcraft.

"Before that, I'd like to see if that fish has any magical stones. Considering that the ambo and lizards didn't have any magical stones, it's more likely that this fish doesn't have any magical stones, but maybe... maybe they really have magical stones."
"Ah... I see,"

　Ray's words tell us why Ray was trying to catch a fish with this fang as a new prey.

"Ray, if this fish has any magical stones, why don't you put up with it?"
"No, the magical stones that I collect must be the ones that I or Seto participated in the battle."

　For those who don't know anything, it's definitely a completely incomprehensible.
　But it was a prerequisite for Ray or Sett to fight, as that was the requirement for mastering skills in the art of sorcery.

"Oh, I hope Ray says so for the time being."

　The adventurer sighs as if he had given up on the idea that it would be meaningless to say anything more.
　I guess some kind of collector understands that they have a obsession that no one else can understand.
　Ray was helped by his understanding of the other person, so he didn't have to make any more.
　That's why we're going to try to break up a huge fish.
　Other adventurers we've heard close by, and the lizardmen who see what the adventurers are trying to do, work together to carry the giant fish with tusks.
　...if only he had carried it, it would have been quicker if he had put it in a misty ring.
　At any rate, they move the fish to the lake, guarding against shark-like sharp-smelling monsters being drawn by the smell of blood, and immediately begin to disassemble.

"First of all, it's this tusks. Given the sharpness and hardness of this, I think it's just a normal weapon."
"How do you use weapons as they are? Hold them in your hand and stab them into the enemy?"
"You tie it to a wooden stick or something, and use it as a spear?"
"... with this fang?"

　The tusks stripped from a fish's mouth are almost as large as the tip of a spear, or a little huge.
　But the tusks themselves are slightly bent, not straight.
　Even if you use it as the tip of a spear, the answer will be negative if you are asked if it can be used as an ordinary spear, regardless of whether it is used in a way that hooks the opponent.
　If this is pointed out, those who insist on using it as the tip of a spear will not be able to make any further objections.

"By the way, this fang may be of any material, or it may be used as a proof of subjugation, and you may want to keep it, Ray."

　One of the adventurers who was dismantling said so, and Ray receives four tusks in total.
　It felt a little metallic, unlike normal teeth.
　That's what the guild will think specifically of the use of this fang.
　The same goes for lizard materials, but first we talk to people who use monster materials, such as alchemists, smiths, and pharmacists, and see if they can use them by showing the materials.
　But there are so many of those jobs in Gilm that you can't call them all up.
　In such cases, those who have contributed to the guild or who are skilled will be chosen.
　We then investigate how various monsters' materials are used, and if it is determined that they can be used, they are clearly traded as useful materials.

(Then, after all, these tusks are not enough... ...there are cases where the same tusks are effective or ineffective depending on where they grow.)

　As a result, it is determined that many tusks will still be needed, and each tusks is marked so that it can be identified and stored in a mistling.

"O"

　At that moment, there is a cry of astonishment.
　When I looked at the voice, wondering if it would be too much of a fuss to use a mistling now, one of the adventurers had begun to disassemble the huge fish with a fine sword-handling.
　Ray did not know how he used it, but the scales of the fish have already been firmly removed.
　The previous exclamation of surprise must have been that of this scalding.
　Cut off the head from the fin, thrust the tip of the long sword into the cut head, twist the wrist, and pull out the gills in it.
　With a swing of the long sword, the gills at the tip fall to the ground.
　Then I made a cut in my abdomen and took out my internal organs... but at that moment, a bad smell began to come out around me.
　It stinks of fish's internal organs.Anyone who knew nothing but fish sold in supermarkets could have vomited at the stench.
　However, that is only the case if you live in Japan.
　In this world, animal disintegration is so routine that even if you frown at this stench, you don't scream.
　In the first place, many monsters have built-in materials, so the internal organs taken out are quickly processed and handed over to the ray, where they are stored in a mistling.
　In the meantime, the man disassembling the fish will wash the belly of the fish with water from the lake and cut it along the spine.
　Cutting the belly part along the spine, then cutting from the back part towards the spine, and then the cuts join each other.
　After that, the giant fish was cut into three parts in no time, when the other side was cut in the same way, with a long sword.
　It's what we call a three‐piece process.

"Oh, my God."

　The mouth of those who saw it again raises a cry of astonishment.
　It had risen not only from adventurers but also from Lizard's mouth.
　It is appropriate to call it a blink of an eye to see how fish are being slaughtered.

(Or, if you can disassemble the fish so quickly, wouldn't it be better for you to become a cook? Well, I'm sure the adventurer will make more money, especially if you're in charge of guarding it here.)

　The reward for a skilled adventurer is naturally high.
　That said, not every adventurer is doing it for money.

"After that, I'm going to peel the meat off the skin. It's a lot of work, too. Especially with such a big fish, I can't do it a little by myself. Who's cooking... No, has there ever been anyone who's ever done fish handling?"

　That's what the man who shook away fat and fluid with his long sword asked, but nobody raised their hand.
　Ray had often caught river fish such as yamame, Ivana, sweetfish, and swordfish since he was in Japan, but most river fish were grilled and eaten as they were, and even if they were to be sold, he left them to his parents.
　That's why we can't handle it, let alone grill it as it is.
　As did the other adventurers, some spoke.

"I can't do it, but she seems to be good at handling fish."

　That's what I said -- exactly as it was on the slate.
　And Zozo's eyes are on the Lizard's woman, who was taking care of eggs and children in the tower of birth.

"What? Do you cook Lizard Man?"
"Stupid, you. The lizard men were eating with us, weren't they? Then they would cook as they should."

　adventurers who talk to each other like that
　The disassembling adventurer, albeit a little uneasy, decides to ask the Lizardman woman to help him because he can't do it by himself or rather than leave it to someone who hasn't handled the fish before.
　However, as long as I can't understand the language, I'll ask Zozo to translate for me.

"You see? I'll put a blade along the flesh of this fish, and you'll pull the skin of the fish to match it. ... You see?"

　Hearing the words through Zozo's interpreter, Lizardman nods and reaches for the skin of a fish.
　After seeing it, he was probably relieved for now.
　The adventurer, who was disassembling the fish, concentrated his attention... on the Lizard's woman, and slipped the dagger between the skin and the flesh at the right time.
