67 Episode 66 Elatana and Zana Coca




 After I had completed the planned transfer of people and the transportation of the zunana grass, I immediately began preparations for the extermination of the zanacocha (the name of the small herbivorous fish that had been devouring the nemesas).
 After talking to Mercia and others to get permission, I headed for the site.
 The work site is in the ...... lake.
 It's not an island, but inland.
 The goal is to catch the fish.

Is this a good place?

"No problem.  By the way, how do you catch a fish alive?

 Our guide and observer is a fisherman who usually catches fish in the lake.

He uses magic to scoop them up.  Here we go: ......

 "I'm going to use magic to create a kind of net to hold all the fish together.
 It was easy to lift the fish, but it was a little difficult to think of a mechanism to drop only the water down.

Oh, ......, that's great.  Magic is so useful.

 When I pulled up the net, about a hundred fish, Eratana, came up.
 I didn't want them to die, so I left some water inside.
 I magically cooled the water to a temperature that would not burn the fish and caught them.
 What should I do?
 I completely forgot about the means of transporting the fish alive.
 You can't just put them in an item box like food and be done with it.

Do you have a tank or something? I'd like to transport some fish.

"Water tank? What's that?  No such thing.

 Well, here we are. ......

"If we fill the boat with water, we can use it as a ...... moving fish tank!

Don't be absurd.

No way.

 It didn't work.
 Why not? You don't need a ship to move on water.
 We can carry the boat to the island and dry it after use.
 ...... I don't expect you to be convinced, so I won't try to convince you.

There is no other way to transport live fish. ...... You can't use an item box.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.
 I'm not sure if it will work on fish too.
 You'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the following article.

"What should I do ......?

 The next thing you know, the fish has disappeared from your hand.
 When you look at the item window, you see Eratana.
 Is this thing alive?

"Oh, it's alive .......

 I took it out.
 The fish was alive and well.
 They were swimming around in a large magical fish tank.
 I wondered if it was possible to store living things.

 If you think about it, there must be bacteria and other invisible creatures attached to the things I always store.
 If you can store them, it is not surprising that you can store living things.
 If there is a demon that cannot be defeated, I might try it.
 ...... I don't want to go head-to-head with a sublong, should I test it with a suitable demon?

I've found a way.  I'll go get it.


I'll leave you to it.

Okay.  Thanks.

 I ran around the fish tank with the item box for about five minutes and got 50 fish.
 The permission I got was for 50 fish.
 I came back to the island with them.

 Now it's time to use the fish.
 Of course we're going to use the fish.

"Come on, Elatana!

"Oh!

 Release the fish.
 That's the only way.
 Because this fish, Erratana, which I ate a long time ago, looks just like a black bass.
 What could be more suitable for getting rid of small fish that are in the way without damaging the water plants?

 In Japan, even releasing black bass into the water has been banned, and in some places, even releasing those caught has been banned, making black bass the "forbidden ultimate weapon against fish.

 Its success was as expected.
 As soon as it was released into the water, it was like, "Yeah! Fresh fish meat! It devoured Zanacocha with such vigor that I almost shouted, "Fresh fish meat!
 When I took it out of the item box, it was a little listless, so I used a long potion with a long name, and it might have worked.
 It started rampaging right after I used it.

 ......1 hours later, when Eratana, who had devoured Zanacocha, began to cannibalize itself, we were all shocked.
 It's a good idea to have a good appetite, but cannibalism is not ...... a good idea.
 I guess I carried it in the item box and the medicine made it too energetic.
 I don't think they eat this much on a regular basis. ......

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.



 Don't underestimate the scientific knowledge of the people of Earth. ......
 It's a banned use in Japan, and it has failed to be controlled in Japan.

It seems that some of the strongest ones are still around, and even if it recurs, these guys will take care of it.  They're good bouncers for Nemeza.

"What's the point of bouncers fighting each other? ......

 The result is slightly different from what I imagined, but I don't care.
 If there are any eggs left, these guys will eat them all up.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on with the sale of mages and the sale of the Eternal Powered Super Duper Recovery Potion.

 I forgot the name.
 I don't remember the name. This is what happens when researchers who don't have any sense of naming make random additions every time they make an improvement.

"Wasn't it called Eternal Power Hyper Ultimate Extreme Recovery Potion?

 The employee corrects me from the side.
 I can't tell if it's right or not.

I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but it's "Eternal Energy Extreme Hyper-Enhanced Recovery Potion.  ...... The name doesn't matter, but they said to bring as much extract as they made, and sales seem to be going well.  I'm not sure what to make of it.  So far, so good.

That's good.  What about the grocery store? And what kind of magic armor is that?

 It's treated as if it's an extra.
 It was supposed to be the main part of the business.

The butcher shop is doing well, at least.  The butcher shop is doing well for the time being. It's too small compared to the rest of the business, and it's more of a place to keep people and train them. ......

"Oh, yeah.  It can't be helped.

The magic armor is armor that has been finely crafted to look like magic tools.  It's useful because it allows you to use magic power that swordsmen don't use to increase defense with light equipment.  It is extremely difficult to make, but ......

Can you make Catherine?

I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she can't use regular magic, but she seems to be unusually good at detailed work.  She said that her work pace per day has recently slowed down slightly, but with her unparalleled magical power and production speed, she has been able to generate a frightening amount of revenue.

How much per day?

How much per day?" "Per day, ...... would be about 100,000 tell.  That's 50 times more than my competitors.

 In Japanese yen, ...... is about a million yen a day.
 It's a monster, or at least I think there's something wrong with it.
 It's at a level where my peers want to complain that it's cheating and illegal.

It looks like there's nothing wrong with letting it go. ...... The food storage at the warehouse is almost finished, isn't it?

I think it'll be ready tomorrow.

 We need such facilities in order to store a large amount of demons before they are made into dried meat without rotting.
 The butcher only needs big equipment and manpower.
 He's useless.

It's a delicate business, but it's a pain in the ass.

The profits may be slim, but they're useful in other ways. ...... In the meantime, we'll get people to get used to it.

 Even Mercia is treated as a training facility: .......
 It's better to be in the black.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with that.  I've always wanted to go see another frontline city.

"Other frontline cities? Is there anything interesting there?

No, not really.  I only know Brokens and Desibatore, and I'd like to see some other frontline cities anyway.  I thought King's Landing would be interesting, but I'm sure I'd get bored easily if I went somewhere without demons and such.

 King's Landing seems to be troublesome because of the different common sense.
 In the front line city, you can move freely to some extent.
 I want to see what other guilds are doing and what kind of demons they have.

You mean sightseeing? The store will be in trouble if it's left unattended. ......

 You're relying on me for transportation and stuff. ......

"Well, it's like sightseeing.  I'm going to be back in a short time, and transportation will probably be manageable for a certain amount of time if I can get a pantry going! So do you have any recommendations for frontline cities?

I've never been to one, but I'm sure I can find one.  I've never been there, but it's a rare place to fight an aquatic demon.

I've never been to Minatonia, but it's rare to find a place that fights aquatic demons. I think we should just leave them alone.  It's not like aquatic monsters are going to invade the land.

...... But it seems that they do.  It seems that fish and shrimp are invading the land.

 What the hell is that? ......

I don't know, but it sounds interesting.  How do I get there?

Well, let's see. ...... Look here. ......




 The next day.
 I was about to leave the city when the members of the merchant association saw me off.

I was about to leave town when I was seen by the members of the Chamber of Commerce. I'd like you to come back when the anchor response disappears.  I would also be very grateful if you could come back within 10 days if possible.  Also, if you have something that would be good for business, that would be even better.

 Mercia, a kind-hearted hired hand, sends me off with kind words.
 I think I'll build a transport ship so you can get by without me.

 Anyway, this is how I departed from Photoren and started my journey to Minatonia.
 It was a graceful journey, dodging birds and almost hitting mountains at near the speed of sound, about 100 meters above the ground.
 This is a good way to see the scenery.
