They should be nearing the place where the Small Cloud Whale (Small Cloud Whale) was spotted by now. ...... It doesn't look like we're going to find that herd of warhorses. Dimol, let's skip a few more steps.

Kuehne!


　I was scouting ahead on the Dimol that was waiting for me at the garrison to find out the whereabouts of the Small Cloud Whale, the Small Cloud Whale that had received a request to kill it.

　The vast greenery of the Orwell Grasslands spread out below us.

　For a start, I was also looking for a small cloud whale, the Small Cloud Whale, which is big and easy to spot, as well as a herd of war horses that understand the human language as an example.


　Noelia and the others should be slowly heading to the rendezvous point with their wagons, so we should be able to search for them in more detail once they arrive first.


[Master, is the Small Cloud Whale 《Small Cloud Whale》 delicious?　What type is it?]


　As I was flying Dimolu towards the confluence, Deere, who couldn't wait to fight the Small Cloud Whale, Small Cloud Whale, spoke to me.


''Eh?　What type of system is the small cloud whale, Small Cloud Whale?　Let's see, that's a cloud whale species, so it's fish-based ...... or maybe animal-based. The meat inside is muscular and lean, but the flesh of a young small cloud whale, the Small Cloud Whale, is soft, so it's a high-class meat that's traded just as expensive as the meat of a dragon.

[Oh, no. I'm not talking about the taste of meat, I'm talking about the factor possessed by ...... small cloud whale, "Small Cloud Whale". Because Deere can't eat meat]


　I realized I'd misunderstood the intent of Deere's statement.


'Oh, I'm sorry. That's right. It was a factor. I don't know, I think it's a factor of poison and paralysis or something. Also, I have a feeling there might be a recovery factor as well.

[Master is also surprisingly foodie, so I can't laugh at Deere.

'No, I'm really sorry. I thought it was totally about the meat.


　I couldn't stop my cheeks from burning with embarrassment.


　You can't tell me that I was talking to Deere because I usually think he's a person: .......

　Come to think of it, Deere was a sword.

　There's no way I can eat meat.


[What's wrong?　Master?]


　Deere flickered the purple magic stone like eyes and called out to me.


''Hey, it's nothing. I'm just a human being myself, so I make a lot of mistakes.''

[Weird master. Sigh, but I can't wait to absorb the factors. If I can absorb a lot of it and become stronger and smarter, it would be useful to my master. Then I can take care of it--]

I'm sure you take care of it every night, don't you?

[It doesn't matter how much extra care you have to have added to it, apart from your nightly care. It's a shiny, shiny Deere.


　It's true that if you take care of it and polish it, it will shine.

　But too much can damage the blade, though.


　I was shoving at Deere in my mind.


"I'll hold off on the grooming times.

[Eh, cheapo]


　It's not a good idea to take too much care of it as a swordsman, but I'm of the opinion that too much care is not good.

　It's a good idea to limit the number of times you do this so that you can use your Deere for a long time.

　It's not a bad idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in a position to do it.


'Kueye!'


　As Deere and I were talking about the raids, Dimol spotted something up ahead, and I heard a whine.

　I looked ahead and saw a cloud moving.


''Is it a Small Cloud Whale [Small Cloud Whale]?''


　Still far away in the distance, I stare at a cloud like a sesame grain.

　At the moment when it seemed to be a mass of clouds--


　His eyeballs snapped open and he began to move through the air, twisting his body around.


'I found it!　There he is!　A small cloud whale, Small Cloud Whale!　Dele, get ready!　Combat!

Yes, sir!　I can go anytime!]

"Dimol, pull up to that cloud at full speed!

Queue!


　I pulled out Deele and drove Dimol towards the Small Cloud Whale, the target of our defeat.


　Thanks to Dimol's fast speed, the distance between us and ourselves is rapidly decreasing.

　The closer they got to you, the bigger the body of the small cloud whale, the bigger the small cloud whale became.


　I'm not sure if it's a large ...... small cloud whale, but with its size, it could be called a cloud whale.


　When they got close to me, I noticed that the small cloud whale I was chasing was as big as the mansion where Noelia lived.


　That was a lot of distance.

　This could be a challenge.


　The opponents Small Cloud Whale, Small Cloud Whale, seemed to have noticed that we were getting closer, and as if to warn us, the clouds covering its pure white body were dyed black with an attack color.


''The other party has also recognized us as the enemy!　It's coming!

Queue!


　Before the Small Cloud Whale, Small Cloud Whale, could attack us, I decided to give Dimol instructions to take the upper position.
