Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

A giant white object retraces the Wieus River.

The fisherman was surprised by the overly strange sight, the waterfowl flew off and the fish was caught by tentacles and delicious.

Yes, it's Kraken.

But Kraken is inherently a sea monster. It is not a creature in such a river of fresh water.

As a result, the neighbors' surprises were overwhelming.

"You really can't shake it."

Carla, who accompanies Rise and the others as a guide, jumps Poyon Poyon over Kraken.

"The giant demons of basic aquatic habitat have many soft bodies."

"Heh, that's weird"

The giant demons of the aquatic habitat cannot live without a place with more than a certain depth due to its size.

And because high water pressure occurs in places with deep water depths, their bodies are soft because of the functions necessary to flexibly accept changes in water pressure.

Most importantly, there was no reason for them to know that fact.

What's more, it didn't matter to Rise.

Because his gaze now was nailed to the contents of a skirt that revealed itself at once because of the fact that he was jumping in front of him.

(Not bad for nature either)

Fortunately during the misfortune, the demons who do not understand human sexuality do not understand the meaning of the Lord's gaze and do not understand human expression change?

No, I was there. There were people who understood.

"Master Rise, the view over there is beautiful."

"Yes, it is, my lord. It's prettier that way."

Yes, it is Lamia and Seylan.

They understood the meaning of Rise's gaze in their instincts, a demon of women only.

Fearful was the woman's inquiry.

"Aga."

Rise is forced out of sight by both of us.

And the demons who see them in such disdain.

They are the demons that came with us as escorts for this incident.

Because this route is an aqueduct, the selected demons were carefully selected as demons with aquatic habitat and ability to fly.

Also, because demons who don't like to move fast like Trent left a message, so did Karkinos, who can only walk beside him.

"Master Rise!

and Harpy, who was leading the reconnaissance there, returned.

"What's wrong?

Rise asks Harpy, returning to the posture that Ramia and the others had been forced to change.

"Well, there's a lot of giant toads ahead of us."

Harpy's role was to grasp the demons and terrain that were handicapped and difficult to navigate.

In order for Kraken to transport the medicine in full order to eliminate the disorder ahead of time.

"Then we'll get rid of the obstacles."

That's how Marman and Taraksk, the escorts, get out in front of Kraken and keep going.

"Oh, boy, about Giant Toad, it's a pre-meal knob for me."

Kraken is forbidden from fighting to focus on transport.

"Don't tell me that, I can only ask Kraken for this request. I've never been more discreet than I am when I don't have time to start over."

"I know."

Praised by Rise, Kraken reluctantly decided to devote himself to transportation.

And from the direction Merman and the others headed, a large water column rose.

◇

"No, but fast! You'll be at your destination within a week as soon as this happens!

Soyd, who came aboard Kraken together, gives an exclamation.

As the owner of the carriage equipped with the medicine, he followed by saying that he would resume his journey by purchasing the village horse as soon as he had finished handing over his luggage.

Anyway, when I get back to town, I'm in a situation where I don't make any money until Rise and the others get back.

As a merchant it was a choice from a decision I wanted to avoid.

For this reason Soid's horse was sold to the ranch in the town of Dexsi, and now he is waiting to meet the next Lord.

And the consideration was used to buy the traded goods in the town of Dexsi.

"At this speed to your destination, did you say 3 days, 4 days when you saw the extra room?"

So what Soyd spread out was a simple map with the journey to the destination.

"Oh, do you have a map?

Rise was also surprised by this.

In this day and age, it is about nobles or military men who have maps.

Because maps are mainly used for war, even simple maps are rarely used by civilians.

Or if you want it because you can't buy it, you have to make it yourself.

"Yeah, I put up my own path and the path people told me on the map to help me with business."

Saying so, Soid spared no effort in showing me his map.

"Ho, this is a pretty detailed map."

In fact, the map of Soid was written down to a fine path and was quite accurate, albeit not as good as the map of the army.

Still, it is too much of a substitute if you think of it as something made by an amateur.

"The town of Dexsi is here, so is it around here now?"

Soid went up the painting of the Wieus River from where it was written with his fingers as the town of Dexsi, and stopped his fingers along the way. It would be approximately 1/7 of a distance from the destination.

"There's going to be demonic raids, so I'd like to hurry."

"But there's no point in hurrying too fast to ruin the pills."

"It's a hard place."

"It's okay. Yo! Because it's so fast and soft! Krah would be right there!

"Krah!?"

Kraken is shocked by Kara's energetic weather words, which have been mixed up in serious conversations.

Apparently, her client, Kara, had full confidence in Kraken's speed.

"Well, we wagered against Mr. Kraken, so it's pointless to worry about it."

"Right."

It was when the men were so convinced.

"Master Rise! There's a big waterfall ahead of us!

……

Two people covering their faces after receiving too timely reports from Harpy.

"Aren't you cursed? This request."

"Honestly, I have to think so too"

Even though they were natural objects, they still couldn't help but feel some malice.

"Don't worry. There's no problem with waterfalls."

And it was Kraken's overmanliness that brought him there.

"No, the waterfall vibration is quite something. You don't have to be alarmed."

Having crossed various lands to serve demons, Rise understood how powerful the waterfall was.

And if the giant Kraken becomes as much waterfall as it can travel, the vibration would be considerable.

"Mr. Soid, isn't there a route around here that we can bypass?

Rise asks Soyd with the map to present the detour.

"I'm sorry, but my map is only a description of the places that humans have been through, so until we get some information about the undisclosed lands,"

"Then Harpy......"

"So it's not necessary. If the waterfall doesn't work, you can walk on land."

"To?"

Kraken gently lifts the carriage with the medicine with two tentacles and puts the Rises on another tentacle.

"You can't reach the waterfall vibrations. You just have to walk on the ground."

Thus, the Great Falls crisis was averted with Kraken's tongue-in-cheek solution.

◇

"Ah! It's a bridge for me to go to the valley village. Yikes!

I pointed to the thin line that Carla could see on the other side to the Rises who were back in the river again.

They had already entered the valley of purpose, surrounded by a large shoreline.

"Ugh, the wind guchug around here!

Harpy, who was on reconnaissance, returns with her hair and wings pounded.

"Were there any dangerous demons?

"Um, it looks fine. The demons of the sky don't fly in this wind either."

Harpy reports while Rise takes care of her hair and wings.

"It's okay. Yikes! Give it to me and the demon won't even show up! Because there is a holy bond of priests around the village!

and Carla, excited about her return to her hometown, theorizes forcefully.

"The Holy Crossing?

"Exactly! This village has been sealing terrible demons for generations! And we have a strong bond to get rid of the evil ones who are trying to unseal the devil!

When I came here, I realized that Rise hadn't heard Kara's identity.

Since they arrived, it was not a setback to tell the plan.

"That's amazing. Isn't it a fairly high-ranking cleric who can establish a connection that doesn't send demons?

The depraved priests who corrode the king's capital emerge behind his head.

(He and others were priests of Ese who could hardly use healing magic.)

"Exactly! Because priests are literal geniuses who are not only good at sealing demons, but also at kingdom magic!

and that's where Carla's tension drops.

"Even so, the clergyman suffered from a terrible difficulty. His complexion got worse and worse, he couldn't walk on his own feet, and eventually he even weakened his magic and unsealed the demon! Because of this, there was a hole in the junction that protected the village, and the demons entered through the junction hole."

Kara sadly tells the story.

"That's why I was looking for medicine to cure the priest's illness! I did it, Cleric! Kara finally got her medicine -!

Rise and Soid nodded as they watched Carla jump excitedly.

"There is a hole in the junction…………."

"A demon has entered through that hole."

"Is that it? What's wrong, you two?

Kara leans her neck against the two strange faces.

"Harpy and Marman head back for reconnaissance! Taraskus and the others are on alert so that they can fight as soon as they get down from Kraken!

The demons immediately scatter on Rise's instructions.

But the decision was only slightly slow.

A number of black spots appeared on Kraken's white body.

No, it was a shadow.

Something huge has fallen from the sky to the shadow of Kraken's body.

"Rock!?"

It was a giant rock.

Dozens of rocks pour down on Kraken.

"How about that!"

Marman raises the voice of the sunflower.

No matter how proud you are of your martial arts, it was extremely difficult to destroy the countless giant rocks that come down from above.

Even for the harpies. They are light-hearted to fly.

Suitable for tearing down enemies with sharp nails, but still not for dealing with giant rocks.

Exceptions are giant demons like Taraskus and Kates, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"At least just the pills are dead............ Huh!?"

"Out of the way."

Pei.

It was Rise who tried to give Kraken desperate instructions, but at the time Kraken bounced the rock peppery with nine legs except the one that was holding down the carriage equipped with medicine.

That's light enough to wear gravel.

Yes, it was light.

No matter how big the shadow falls on Kraken's body, the interpretation is about the size of the shadow that falls on the spot. It was easy to blow up dozens of things if you paid with Kraken's feet.

Bounced rock blows in all directions.

And the consolidation of the rocks buried in the exterior walls of the Dogondogon and the valley.

And something different fell down there.

No, it wasn't a thing, it was a creature.

"Giant troll!

The demon was a giant troll that struck enemies with giants.

The Giant Troll is not one thing and many have fallen.

"Master Rise! Up!"

If you look on the cliff at Harpy's words, you'll see a bunch of giant trolls.

"Well, they're dropping rocks!

"Apparently, the enemy was living off a rock that didn't take a counter-attack, eating his unlucky crushed prey."

When Marman saw the Giant Troll, he saw that the rock was man-made.

"As good as it gets, but Tane's already found out! Harpy! Aerial units, head for the Giant Troll interception!

"Copy that! I'm gonna kill you!"

At Rise's command, the Harpies flew over at full speed in return.

◇

Rises, who defeated the Giant Troll herd, continue deeper into the valley.

"I see it! That's our village, Mitley Village!

Ahead of Carla pointing her finger, she could see a township with a white glittering temple at its back.
