Let's introduce ourselves. Walking in the square, he talks to the girl.
"I'm Marc from Fathia town. I'm eight. This is my twin sister."
"- Nicola! Where's your sister?
"Eh, twins? You don't look much alike, Don Mai! I'm Samina, sixteen. I'm a fisherman in this village."
I feel like I've been discreetly distracted, but I think I'll forgive you with a wide heart.
"So you're working in that lake?
"That's right. There are monsters, so I can't go too far! But that's enough to eat in the village."
"Hmm. You're off work today."
"The town's people are coming today, so I took a break... on my own!
In other words, the meaning hasn't changed much. When I was half-eyed and watching Sanmina, Sanmina raised one hand and circled around like a fool. Black hair cut out on the shoulders spreads like an umbrella.
"Uh, yes! I'll show you the village! Let's start here in the village square! We have village gatherings and festivals here!
"What kind of festival are we having?
I thought you were fooling me, but I decided to take over.
Fall Harvest Festival. Give the crops to God to thank him for this year's harvest and for next year's harvest. That's why we all eat and dance. I'm going to unveil the wedding here. "
Although there were many seasonal events in the town of Fathia, there was nothing to celebrate the harvest. I wonder if the degree of gratitude is different in the village because harvesting is a lifeline.
The town of Fathia is thriving as a relay point to the capital, so I don't know what to thank for the city's prosperity. Territorial Festival!... yeah, I don't.
Then the guidance continued. Next, Sanmina stopped in front of a building with a wide entrance to the private house.
"There's only one lodging in the village! Travelers and adventurers who have worked hard to get to Fatima can't help it! The monster meat served at the inn is reputable as bad, and people with good circumstances pass through other villages, so it is not very prosperous!
"Shouldn't we stop serving monster meat?
"The innkeeper has a strong conviction. The one who doesn't know the taste of the meat is not a customer! I think so too!
I don't know, but I know that the villagers love monster meat.
"But one in ten customers will get sick and become good at it, so don't worry!
There must be something strange in it. I'm getting scared.
"Does monster meat look so bad?
"That's what they say. I think it's cute! Now, let's go to the lake where that beloved monster lives!
When I walked about Sanmina, the woods eventually appeared. Looks like there's a lake ahead. The roads in the woods are widely maintained and the trees seem to be shredded, with no sense of oppression like a forest near the town. It feels good walking cool.
By the time I got to the lake, I had a magical question attack on Sanmina. What kind of magic can you use, what do you do with magic, and what kind of magic do you want to use next? I answered to the extent that it was not obvious.
Apparently, there isn't a single person in Sekkal who can use magic. She was alone before Sanmina was born, but she only left the village when she was fifteen. Essentially, it seems that people who can use magic leave the village.
"Neither am I. If only I could use my magic."
"You want to leave the village?
"Yeah, that's not true! I like the village. But isn't it useful to use magic?
It's certainly convenient. I can't think of a life without magic anymore. Even if you can't use magic, there are magic tools, but they are expensive, limited in functionality, and are no match for the versatility of magic.
"That's why I'm so happy to see magic today. I've never seen anything so amazing! You deserved it!
I said I was skittish. But I'm glad that magic is praised. I want to show you something at the service later. While I was thinking about it, I arrived at Lake Sekal.
The lake is bigger than I thought, and we can't see it across the bank from here. And there are some ships floating near the coast, and sunburned men on board are throwing nets and pulling them up.
But there was not a single ship far from the shore. Indeed, as Sanmina said, if a monster hits you in the middle of the lake, there's nowhere to run. As far as safety is concerned, it would be better to make a solemn statement.
"Now I'm catching regular fish, not monsters. We catch monsters at night."
"I feel more dangerous at night...."
"Fufu. That's a lot of tricks."
"That's right. I wanted to see what kind of monster it was."
"Ah, in that case, I'll crush it into fertilizer that's too small to eat, so I'm saving it there. Want to see it?
"Watch!"
I have no choice but not to see it. That said, it seems gloomy, so I have to beat my heart. Sanmina pointed to the shed near the pier.
"Look, there's a big pot next to the hut, right? I'm putting it in there. It's good to see, but be careful. It seems that amateurs are very stimulating."
The three of them proceeded to the cabin. Then he glanced at Nicolas and nodded towards the pot. It seems easier to peek because it's smaller than my back length. I peeked into the fearful pot.
Some monsters were thrown away in the pot. It was said that small things were stored, but is it about 20 cm in size? It seems big enough, but the bigger one is bigger.
And looking at the white form of that monster, the first thing I thought was...
- Isn't this crazy? Squid in the lake?
