When he learns that the lizardmen who went to fight to reclaim their homeland have been defeated, Lasse decides to ask the Seasurpent who brought them there what happened.

"My husband asked me to take the lizardmen to the village, so we decided to stay and fight with them. When we were carrying them, we talked about a lot of things, and they were pretty reasonable.

Yeah, yeah, you can't leave people in trouble to get their scales dry!

　With that, the Seerserpent and Missiganebic slammed their tails into the ground with a thud.

"So what kind of enemies were they?

The thing is, it was a strange guy. He was ......

　◇

　The time goes back a week ago.
　The Sea Serpent and Missiganebic had arrived at their home, the swamp of Jujiki, carrying a group of Lizardman warriors.

Here is the monster that has defiled our homeland.

　The lizardmen dismounted from the Sea Serpents and began to alert their surroundings, spears at the ready.

Thank you for bringing us here. From this point forward, it's our fight. You may go home.

　Zeldo, the chief of the Lizardmen, tells them to go home.
　But it is not because he thinks they are a distraction, but because he does not want them to get involved.
Zerdo is a proud lizardman warrior.
　He believed that the lizardman's problems had to be served by the lizardmen alone.
　I should thank you for not only taking care of the children, but also for giving me a ride here.
　But that's Zeldo's logic.

Hey, hey, what are you talking about?

Yeah, we're aquatic buddies. Don't be shy.

　The Sea Serpents who carried them were willing to help.
　Of course it was because Lasse had deliberately chosen a bloodthirsty demon to be their transport.

But this is our problem. I won't let you guys get away with this: ......

"Don't be dull. We're all eating the same fish, aren't we?

Yeah, let's get it over with and pick up the kids!

　The two men step in front of Zerdo, saying it's nothing to worry about.
　Even though they're from different races, Gerudo realizes there's no way they're going to back away from the atmosphere.

Thank you for .......

　If this were any other terrestrial species, Geld would have said no.
　But the sympathy of a man with the same scales was unraveling his stubborn heart.

That's the way it should be!

We're useful!

　With a thump of their tails, the two men headed toward the wary lizardmen.
　Geld was stunned to see them, but secretly felt reassured.

"We were in danger of being wiped out if we were alone, but if they would help us or ......

　On the way here, Gerd knew firsthand the strength of the Sea Serpent and the Mishiganevik.
　There are many demons who will eat anything of a different kind.
　Especially if it's a dangerous demon.
　Even a lizardman skilled in warfare has been attacked by such demons more than once.
　In fact, he fought many demons on his way to the city of Dexter.
　Even though the demons could be let off the hook, they had to fight to protect their children and the wounded.
　And yet, most of the demons didn't attack me on the way home with them.
　It was as if they hid in plain sight.
　The occasional rogue demon was in their mouths the moment it appeared.
　Of course, the monster was also a formidable foe for Geld and his friends.

If demons with this much power could help us, that would be reassuring.
It's great to be able to leave the wounded in charge when the need arises.

　Now that he knows he can enlist the help of the Sea Serpents, Geld rearranges his strategy.

But we can't afford to let our guests have a hard time. Unless it's our job to fight the enemy.

　The pride of lizardmen and the mission of warriors dictate that you must never depend on them to fight, Geld.

All right, let's head to the village.

"Oye!

　◇

Our village is almost here. The enemy may appear at any moment. Be careful.

Yeah, I'm on it. Wherever you show up, we'll get you back!

That's right, whatever enemy appears, I'll be there!

　And then suddenly, with a strange voice, Miss Gunevik was blown away.

"Buddy!

　　The Sea Serpent is surprised that his companion has suddenly been blown up.
　So it will take some time now for him to understand what he was blown up into.
　At this time, the Seerpent was unaware that a cat-headed evil being was standing right beside him.
