Episode 23: Rewards for Resorts

Even though I purposefully froze the surface of the sea so that I could not escape, I was escaped.

I underestimated the power of the Giant Sea Demon (Giant Kraken).

I don't know why, but he was just as scared of me as he ever was of giant demons.

I had judged 'weak' because of that fact, but Giant Kraken is so 'strong' that even ordinary adventurers can't defeat him. We should have guessed that if we were to crack the frozen sea level, we could have done everything we could.

"It's my downfall around here."

"But no one can expect to have that much power in their tentacles."

Ira holding me aside somewhat comforts me.

Ira was dropped in the ocean, but she didn't get drowned because the jet tortoise (jet turtle) rushed to the rescue immediately, and waited until I rushed.

When we rendezvous, we can fly. I'll take Ira back to the harbor.

Though I could fly in Sylvia, that was more right to run through the air, it was a little dangerous to move around with someone so I would take it, and Sylvia is jumping by our side flying near the sea level.

"Were you better off?

Ira had her feet grabbed by powerful tentacles.

"No, that was dangerous to me, too, but thanks to my family, I was safe because I had the power to keep people apart. I still have a mole, but I'm going to have Melissa or Iris treat me around there."

"That's..."

"A normal adventurer wouldn't be surprised if his legs were crushed."

"That sucks"

Giant Kraken is really dangerous, although he was safe because it was us.

"That tentacle is dangerous."

"Have you finished your work over there?

"Done."

Melissa and Iris rendezvous after the work they were asking for.

Melissa is flying in the sky, but Illis is running like a slippery sea level.

"The ice is completely melted."

"Of course."

I can't even leave the sea level that Ilis has made me freeze.

Illis, using magic, diffused the cold air, and Melissa created an extra-large fireball over the sky to have it melted.

"The ship will sail tomorrow, so you can't just leave it like that."

It's not like I know what people in Savona are going to say to me if I can't navigate.

"What about it?

"What do you mean, Sylvia?"

"People are gathering in the harbor."

"What?"

Without magic, Sylvia could see farther than I could. I noticed a lot of people gathering in the harbor.

I also use the eagle's eye (Hawkeye) to check on the harbor. I can't afford to use a telescope (scope lens) because one hand is blocked holding Ira.

"True. People do get together."

"What the hell is going on?

The crowd gathering just looks over here and doesn't look like they're doing anything.

However, I could see the appearance of anxiety on that face.

"Maybe he won't get mad or something."

"It's possible. The ice melted, but even temporarily frozen, so an anomaly may have occurred in the ecosystem."

Melissa says.

Besides, I may have caused an extra commotion because I also used some pretty flashy magic because I thought there were few people in the fight.

"Go and you'll see."

I don't know what's going on in the harbor. Ira says in a relaxed manner.

I can't just not go to port where I refused how much, so I just have to be prepared to go.

"Hi."

Get off to the harbor.

Put down the Ira you were holding at the same time.

"What kind of gathering is this?

Nearly hundreds of people were pushing on the harbor and were about to overflow.

"Hopefully, I'd like to get back to the inn as soon as possible."

Ira says as she squeezes her clothes and drops water.

Not only has Ira fallen into the ocean, but we are all wet because we have all worn a small amount of water. If this is the case, you might as well have changed into a swimsuit and then fought.

"No, I just need a little confirmation before I do."

One young man walks out of the people who pushed him to the harbor.

The young man was a man in a blue suit in his thirties or so, and how he felt like a civilian.

"What about you?

"Excuse me, I'm Jeffrey, guild master at the Savona Adventurers Guild."

"It's rare to be an Alliance Master even though you're not an adventurer"

The person you named Jeffrey doesn't look like an adventurer.

Some people are like former knights to guild masters, like Krashel's guild masters, but talented adventurers tend to be chosen because it is normal for those who know more about adventurers to become guild masters, like Mr. Louise.

"I was originally one of the officials developing Savona as a resort, but this kind of place requires negotiating skills with nobles and merchants, so it depends on people like me being chosen as Alliance Masters."

Looks like he was chosen for resort-like reasons.

"So I ask as Alliance Master. Are you sure it's Giant Kraken, where the demons of the octopus you were fighting earlier are making a scene in Savona?

"Yes, I think so"

Everyone has only confirmed the tentacles.

Still, I can determine for sure in Giant Kraken because I don't think there are any other such big demons out there.

The harbor gets noisy when I affirm it.

"After all, that demon seems to be Giant Kraken"

"You were really a crocodile."

"Are you serious..."

Apparently they were all here to see Giant Kraken making a scene in the city.

Everyone is in trouble, but the only thing I've seen is tentacles.

In the meantime, I can't help but care if my whole body is exposed.

"Is that Giant Kraken"

"Something?

"No, I was just worried about the people in the city over the last few days because Giant Kraken acts all weird, but an adventurer showed up who might be able to come here and crusade Giant Kraken like you. This is good enough news to brighten people up."

"Wait a minute, please. Giant Kraken's strange behavior?

I can't miss asking.

"That's right. There were three damages yesterday caused by Giant Kraken, which should have struck the ship only once a day, and the second of the ships that you helped earlier today."

Five damages yesterday and today alone.

Too many cases given the trend so far.

"Do you know why?

"That's not at all... there's no such thing as a giant demon appearing in the first place, but it's unusual. I tried to pick up information from Wang Du, but we didn't get any good results… We just had to pick a safe time out of the previous trend…"

I can no longer count on that either.

"... what do you want us to do as far as you're concerned?

"There are many adventurers in Savona today. But no other adventurer has achieved enough results to catch Giant Kraken. You're the only adventurers we can count on. Will you crusade as soon as possible? If we can work together in the Alliance, we promise to give you every hand we can."

I waited for that.

"Then please arrange the ship. Even we can't crusade without an attack from close range."

"Okay. I have a ship owned by the Alliance, so I'm going to lend it to you."

"Thank you"

Now you don't have to negotiate annoyingly to get the ship.

"Then you'll also get a express fare."

"Is that an express rate?

"Of course."

I don't ask other adventurers to hurry, but only against us, he says.

You should be able to play the reward for a little while.

"I can't say I just want you to play the crusade reward in cash. Next time, I'll bring my family, so why don't you invite me to the resort for free?

"... that's about it"
