"Well, we're in trouble.

　After receiving a request from Soid, Lasse was scheduled to transport a special potion using a dragon.
　However, the airflow over the destination was so rough that it would be very difficult to transport the potion without shaking it, according to Kara, the client.

What's going to happen to the potion shipment?

　Realizing that she might not be able to carry the potion, Kara turns blue and clings to Lasse.

"Hmm, I guess we could have the dragons carry it up to the middle and then transport it on the ground from there?

　Lasse considers a compromise, a double transport plan.

But even if we were to take the horse in a wagon, we can't have a horse to carry it.

　And then there was a wait from Soid.

"What?　Why not use the horse that brought the carriage?

　Lasse was puzzled as to why he couldn't use a horse, but his doubts were put to rest by Soid's next words.

"Horses scare the dragons. The horses have been scared of the dragons ever since they arrived. I don't think they can be transported delicately in this condition.

"Well, horses are common creatures. So do you want a unicorn and a Kelpie to carry it?

　Lasse sees a unicorn and a kelpie relaxing at the ranch.
　The Kelpie is an aquatic monster whose back half is a fish, but it can transform into a horse that is many times better than an ordinary horse.

"Ho!　Come with the Kelpies!　That's the King of the Thousand Beasts!

　Soid flaunts his excitement at the mention of the Kelpie.
　The famous kelpie is a coveted monster for soldiers and merchants. Of course, overworking the kelpie can lead to revenge later.
　But it was what Lasse said afterwards that bothered him.

(If you know my last name, I'm guessing you didn't come here to ask me for a job because you heard about the dragon carriage.

　Lasse smiled on the surface, but was wary of the person who had given the information to Soid.

"Is the Kelpie great?

　Kara, the only one here who doesn't know about the Kelpie, speaks up.

Yes, the Kelpie is a demon, famous for its unparalleled fame as a horse.

　Kara's question is answered by Soid.

"That's great, but then the suspension bridge to the valley won't scare the horses!

"......

"......

"Huh?　What's wrong with both of you?

　Lasse and Soid wanted to hold their heads up at the problems that had leaked out of Kara.

"Does it rock on land? ......

"A suspension bridge means that it will definitely be driven by the strong winds of the valley,

　The two of them feel like crying as they are stingy with their original choice of land routes.

"No air, no land, how are we going to carry it?

"Huh?　Huh?　What's wrong with that?

　Only Kara, still unaware of the importance of the strict prohibition of vibration in transport, did not understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Mr. Lasse, do you have any good demons?

No, no, no, no, there is no such convenient monster. Neither air nor land routes are allowed, there is no other way: ......

　When all is said and done, Soid hopes for a little more of Lasse, but even he is out of options.
　But then a voice comes to the rescue.

"Then why don't we take the waterway?

"Huh?

"If neither air nor land is good, what's left of the waterway?

　Lasse looked back at the sudden voice and saw not a white wall, but a giant squid monster Kraken.

"The potion is mine to carry.

Kraken!

"If the destination is a valley, then of course there must be a stream of water there?

　It was quite a tirade, but not improbable.
　When Lasse and the others looked at Kara, she was glued to the Kraken that had suddenly appeared.

'Wow!　Biggie!　Shiloh!

　Kids!　Desperately trying to hold back the urge to scream, Lasse asks Kara, "Mr. Kara, is there a big river that you want to go to?

Is there a big river at your destination, Mr. Kara?

"Huh?　A river?　Yes, we have. Because the village is on the upper reaches of the Wejus River, near the headwaters!

　Lasse and Soid see a ray of sunshine in Kara's proudly stated ehemhem, "A canal, or better yet, a suspension bridge if the river isn't too strong.

"It's a canal, or it's a lot better than an airway or a suspension bridge if the river isn't too strong.

"No matter how hard the river rages against the squid, my body can absorb any shock.

　Then the Kraken pressed a nearby rock against his body.

Well, if your body is elastic, it can just barely absorb the vibrations like a gelatinous slime!

　Realizing that all the problems are solved, Lasse and Soid nod to each other.

'Alright!　Luggage transported by Kraken!　And we'll take our bodyguards along the way!　Sirens, Lamia select personnel! Dryads stay in the office and do business as usual, please!

"Yes!


"I'm on it!
"Yes, sir!

　The lamia run to the ranch under Lasse's direction.

"Then we'll follow them. Leave the horses off the carriage.

I get it!

　Likewise, Soid and the others begin to prepare for their departure.

"Come on, Kraken!

Leave it to me. I will do for you what no dragon can do for you!

　The Kraken answers confidently.
　Apparently, that was the reason for the Kraken's candidacy.
