Chapter 108: Lake Veles (6)
Asil had forgotten one important fact.
If you can hear moans from the room next door in Asil's room, then of course the noise from Asil's room can also be heard in the room next door.
The crying sound was so loud that at first I thought that Asil had finished destroying the female without my knowledge and had dragged the man into the room.
I was planning to watch each step and enjoy the process of slowly becoming a female, but before I knew it, I was finishing it all by myself and enjoying it with a man. What kind of NTR is this?
Fortunately, such a terrible thing did not happen.
I was just having a fun night alone.
Although I in the next room was not happy.
The moaning was so loud that even though I covered my ears with a pillow, I couldn't sleep because I was worried that I could hear it little by little.
The next morning.
"Uh? Soira. Why do you look so tired?"
Isn't this bitch innocent even if I hit her?
Asil, who was teasing me by saying, 'You're not a child, and you couldn't sleep because it's not your usual bed, right?' I really wanted to beat her up.
However, the real rest begins today. There is no need to growl in the morning on a good day. I endure it.
We ate a simple breakfast and then dispersed according to our respective schedules.
If possible, since we are traveling together, we will act together, but our group members should have strong individuality.
Sophie seemed to know that we had come to rest, so she ran out into the street, taking Runon with her, saying that she would immediately buy ingredients and test the alchemy recipe.
Well, if you're happy, that means you can rest. I just feel sorry for Runon, who suddenly took on the role of porter.
Kiven said he was going to the lakeside wearing light clothes.
Our party...
"Then I'll see you around lunch."
"Okay... Haam... "
I went back to sleep.
I was tired because I couldn't sleep because of you.
In reality, he probably didn't lose sleep thanks to his "Deep sleep," But for the first time in a while, he went into his room saying he wanted to sleep until the sun rose in the sky.
I thought it was just Assa, but it seems like it was Assa, the person in the corner of the room. Useless knowledge about Asil has increased.
Flora said that neither I nor I had any plans to go out, so she said she would stay at the dorm with us.
I'm a little worried about him now. She knew she lacked common sense, and it was nice to not get away from me, but that was a thing of the past.
Now that Flora has gained some common sense, he should be able to act on his own.
He's a smart kid, so if he gets away from a safe environment for a bit, he'll be able to learn on his own... I'll have to look into a suitable opportunity.
Anyway, this is how our party went to bed for the second time.
Good night...
?
– Aaaaaeaaang-!!!
The sweet sleep that seemed sweet was quickly blown away by the sudden sound of the siren.
Looking at the clock, it's around lunchtime. There wasn't much of a difference from the time I originally planned to wake up, but the discomfort that was forced upon me was unavoidable.
"Soira! Are you awake?"
After knocking on the door, Flora came in.
It looks like Flora didn't sleep as deeply as I did.
"Huh. Woke up. Rather, what does this mean?"
"I do not know either. Suddenly there was a loud sound... "
It was a loud sound that made you know as soon as you heard it that something dangerous had happened.
When I was researching Lake Veles, I never heard anything about it being dangerous. What's going on?
When I came out to the living room with Flora, Asil, who had just woken up like me, appeared with messy hair.
"Eww... What. "I wanted to sleep more."
"I don't know either. "Don't you think something big has happened?"
– Grumble.
While all three of our party were in doubt, the door to the dorm opened and an employee came in.
"Customers, are you okay?"
The employee's first words were quite different from what I expected.
I thought it was something like encouraging evacuation or asking for help since you're an adventurer.
"I thought the guests might be surprised since it would be their first time in this city. It's not a big deal, so please calm down and listen."
The employee's subsequent story was surprising.
In fact, it was said that this city has been being attacked by the fishmen every few weeks for several years.
It is said that dozens, sometimes over a hundred fishmen, come from the lake to land and attack people.
"Then it's a big deal, right?"
"Yes. Normally, it would be a big deal."
What the employee said also meant that what was happening now was not normal.
"First, there are clearly recognizable signs that precede an attack. When one of the guards, who is always watching the lake, spots the sign, it sounds a loud warning sound like you just heard. If you hear that sound and evacuate, it may not be too late."
"People? What happens to the city?"
"This city has special magic tools... Ah. It just so happened that it worked out well. "Could you please look outside?"
After listening to the staff member's words and looking outside through the large window in the living room, something bluish appeared in the sky.
The appearance of several plates joined together in a lattice shape to create a round shape is like...
"Barrier?"
"That's right."
The employee nodded in agreement with what I said and continued to explain.
"It is said that the Count who rules this city thought this. 'The fishman attack is dangerous. However, if you build a high and thick wall, you will not be able to enjoy the blessed environment of Lake Veles.'"
"So?"
"So that's the answer I came up with. A barrier surrounding the entire city is activated using a special magic tool. Although its strength is weaker than that of the magically treated walls, Lake Veles was able to remain a tourist destination thanks to this."
"Covering the entire city with a barrier... How much magic power do you need for that? "Shouldn't we use magic stones like water?"
"We don't know the details about that either. However, they say it is cheap compared to the tourism revenue generated by the city."
"That's amazing... "
"Ruler. Did I tell you that you don't have to worry about what you just heard? Do you have any more questions?"
"I have a question... "
It was Flora who said that and raised her hand.
"Then how do we deal with the fishman who attacked? "It won't end if we just stop it."
"Ah. You didn't explain that part. Before that, are any of our guests adventurers?"
"Yes."
"The city is defended with a barrier, but it won't end unless the attacking fishmen are dealt with. You're right. So the adventurer's guild in this city is giving rewards to those who fought against the fishmen. Among the people staying at our accommodation, there are quite a few who go to fight the fishmen to earn pocket money."
"Oh... "
The employee said, 'If you don't have any more questions, I'll just leave. 'If any problem arises, please ring the bell.' He left behind a bell similar to the one used during meals.
We who were left behind had a moment of conversation.
"What should I do?"
"Are you talking about whether to stay in the room or fight?"
Even after hearing what I said, Asil understood it perfectly.
"Okay. I didn't tell Runon and the others, but to be honest, my wallet is getting thinner."
"It's a wallet. "It's a very realistic story."
"What about you guys? "Would you like to go together?"
"Because my wallet is in danger too... Good. Let's go together."
"If Soira goes, I'll go too!"
Fortunately, both agreed to go together.
"It's a bit awkward to go there in a gown, so take your gear and meet me in the living room."
It took less than 5 minutes to take off the gown and put on the equipment.
This is new equipment I bought after losing my shield and sword in the last dungeon. It's not a very good piece of equipment, but it's probably worth the price.
Even five minutes seemed like a long time, and when I went out to the living room, Asil and Flora were already waiting for me.
Finally, it's time to check the equipment and leave.
– Grumble.
"Uh? What are you doing?"
Runon and the others have returned. Gather all the way to Kiven.
It is said that they did not go out together, but ran into each other on the way back after hearing the siren sound.
"They say there's money to be made in fighting the fishmen. "I want to go back for a while."
"Fishman? Ah, so that's why it made that sound."
Runon and the others must have not heard the explanation, and only then nodded and understood the situation.
"Okay. Bye. Don't get hurt."
"Other adventurers do it to make pocket money, so it's probably not that dangerous. Even if it's dangerous, we have the ability to get our bodies out. "Don't worry."
"Ah. "Wait a minute."
"Why are you Kiven again?"
"I want to go with you too."
"You're not even an adventurer."
"I am not an adventurer, but now when I return, I will officially be a guard. "I heard it's not that dangerous, so wouldn't it be okay if I go and practice protecting the city?"
It was similar to Runon's logic when he said he would follow him to the dungeon. Does it mean that childhood friends resemble each other?
"Okay... Well, figure it out. We won't protect you, so be careful."
"I'm going to protect the city, I'm not going out to attack, so it'll be okay. Then wait a moment."
With Kiven joining us, the four of us left the lodging and headed towards the lake.
At the end where the round, hemispherical barrier covering the city touches the ground, quite a few people had already gathered.
Looking at each of them holding one or two weapons, it seems like all of these people are adventurers.
"Have you all gathered? We'll open the barrier just for this part later! Please note that after that, the barrier will be opened every 30 minutes and only if no fishmen are found within 100 meters!"
A man who looked like a city guard shouted out warnings.
The surrounding adventurers checked their equipment while half-listening, perhaps because they were already familiar with what they had heard.
And after a while.
After passing through the small open barrier, we arrived in front of the white sand beach and encountered a group of fishmen gathered on the white sand beach.
