That's terrible.

　Lasse, who had hurried back to the town of Dexsi after receiving the report from the Harpy, sighed at the painful sight of the returning Lizardmen as well.
　Every one of the Lizardmen were wounded, and the riverbank looked like a field hospital.

Hey, you're back, mister!

　And there comes Kalkinos, a giant crab who has taken on the role of teacher for the Lizardman children.

"I was guarding the kids as I said, and all of a sudden these guys came back with blood on their hands, and I was surprised!

　Karkinos tumbles both scissors horizontally and then moves them upward slightly in a dismissive pose. It's a peculiarly human motion.

What the hell is going on?

Of course they went to get their home back and came back with this. They lost. They're beaten.

　Karkinos dryly announces that they've returned wounded.
　You can see that he is a crab who has run with Lasse through the battlefield.

Ask the guys who came with me for details. I have to take care of these guys. The unicorns are in the middle of treating the seriously injured, so the less injured ones are our job.

　With that, Karkinos cut the bloody lizardman's bandage and dexterously wrapped a fresh bandage around it, cut it with a pair of scissors, tied the bandage and secured it.

'Well, I'll have to thank the unicorn later.

The townspeople are helping us. The Guild of Adventurers has sent a recovery wizard to help us.

"Huh.

(Trow's instructions for the Adventurer's Guild?)

　Lasse appreciated his decision.
　There are many who are not pleased with the demons that are considered subhuman.
　Those who hold a bad opinion of them, or who seek the precious resources of land, treasure, and habitat, will no doubt use this opportunity to eradicate the lizardmen.
　But Trow threw away that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach out to the lizardman.

(I guess he didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, but to create a debt of gratitude for the lizardman.

　But that wasn't entirely correct either.
　Trow owed the lizardman a debt of gratitude because Lasse was also a big part of it.
　Lasse is a wizard with a deep understanding of demons and subhumans.
　He was also asked by the lizardmen to teach the children how to hunt.
　In other words, he was seen by those around him as being friendly to the lizardmen.

　And Lasse is a wizard who uses dragons.
　Trow, who had some understanding of Lasse's personality from his association with her, was confident that Lasse would not turn against the town, even if he ignored the wounded, as long as he did not attack the Lizardmen. But it would definitely give them a bad impression.

　So he thought.
　If we protect the lizardmen, they will owe us, and at the same time, it will make Lasse more popular with the town.
　So he got the mayor's permission to treat the lizardmen and offered to help them with food and medicine.

　The mayor of Lys.

"Hey, how's it going?

　Returning to the ranch, Lasse comes to the demons that he and the lizardmen were headed for.

"Hey, mister!

So-so.

　They are the serpentine demons, the seerserpent and the dwarf serpent.

　The sea serpent is a huge snake that lives in the sea, and is sometimes thought of as a type of dragon.
　The dusky serpent is a giant snake monster that lives in lakes and other places, and its main features are a horse head and glowing scales of various colors.
　Lysimachus has the power to purify water, and because of this property, he gets along well with unicorns.
　Lasse had instructed that when transporting the lizardmen, they should be accompanied by serpentine demons who can move through rough or narrow waterways with no problem.

　They were also injured, their scales were painfully ripped off and damaged.

What the hell happened in the Lizardmen's village?

　Lasse begins to openly assess the situation. As an ex-military man, you want to wake up with information fresh in your mind. Over time, our memories become fuzzy and our information becomes less accurate.
　At Lasse's request, the Sea Serpents will begin to tell what happened in the Lizardman's village.
