"Kraken, you say, the Kraken that appears in fairy tales?"
"Yup, that Kraken."
"Ehh, because it's going to swallow the boat. There's no way Kent can win! No good, you going is absolutely no good!"
At the dinner table, I talked about the nomination request, and when I said I was going to exterminate the Kraken, Meisa-chan told me it was no good.
"I have no intention of getting on a boat and exterminating it, and even from the middle of the ocean, I can just dive into the shadows and come back."
"Uu~h ... Anyway, it's no good. It's dangerous, so it's no good!"
"This time, I'm basically going to exterminate it from within the shadows, so it won't be dangerous. Krakens can't come inside the shadows."
"Uu~h ... Really?"
"Really, really."
"Really, really?"
"I told you it's fine, even the person who requested it said if things go well they feel like they're making a profit, and there's no deadline for the request, and there's no penalty if I can't complete it."
"Uu~h ... But, it's no good if it's dangerous."
"Yes, yes, I got it."
When I gently stroked her head, Meisa-chan's eyes narrowed happily.
"So then, Kent, are you going to look at Jobet tomorrow?"
"That's right. I'm planning to show up at the villa of the Lord of Jobet first thing in the morning, greet the Lord's son, gather some information, and then go to Breichberg in the afternoon to pick up Klaus-san."
"Haa ... Just hearing it makes me dizzy. It's from one end of Landshelt to the other. That's completely unthinkable."
As Amanda-san said, the distance would take almost a month to travel normally using a horse-drawn carriage.
Maa, Guryayev in Barshania and Tokyo on Earth were much, much further away.
"Right, if I find fresh shellfish on sale, I will buy some as a souvenir. They would be delicious as an ingredient in soup."
"Aahh, that's good. The only shellfish you can get in Volzard are those that live in the river or those that have been dried. I'd like to try some fresh seafood."
"In any case, exterminating the Kraken is not something that can be finished in one day, so why don't I buy some when I go over there."
"I'm looking forward to that. I'll put my skills to work and cook for you."
As expected from a chef, Amanda-san's eyes lit up when she heard that she could get fresh ingredients.
If it's shellfish, it could probably be caught it in the bay.
Let's get a little more stock and have another dinner party.
The next morning, after breakfast and preparations, I headed to the port town of Jobet in Edelich.
I was told at the port that the Lord's villa was located on a small hill overlooking the city.
The port was deserted, with no ships preparing to set sail.
The slope leading from the port to the Lord's villa was a shopping street, but it was also less lively than Volzard in the morning.
Looking at the store's signboard with its door down, it looked like it was a fish store.
The fishing boats were probably about to set sail, and if there was nothing to sell, there was no business.
In front of the gate of the Lord's villa, there stood a strong man wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, moss green three-quarter length pants, sandals, and a red bandana covering his head.
He had a dagger hanging from his waist and looked like a pirate.
"Good morning. Is this the Lord's villa?"
"It is. Do you need something, kid."
When the man smiled, his tanned skin and white teeth were dazzling.
Yup, it's the perfect character to advertise toothpaste.
"My name is Kent Kokubu and I came from Volzard. I received a nomination request from Arnath-sama and came to say hello."
"Kent Kokubu, you say! That's you?"
"Yes, this is the certificate that Arnath-sama entrusted me, and this is my Guild card."
"S-rank ... W, wait a minute."
The man was friendly and spoke to me, but when I showed him my letter and Guild card, his expression changed and he ran into the building.
Rather, there's no one guarding the gate now, is that alright?
The pirate-like man returned shortly after.
"I, I will guide you ... Now, now, please come this way ..."
"Haa ... excuse me."
It would have been better if he had guided me in the same tone as initially, but he seemed strangely nervous and his words were strange.
The person who greeted me at the entrance was an agreeable young man with bright brown hair (plus cat ears).
"Thank you very much for coming, Kent Kokubu-san. My name is Vajardi and I am the Lord's second son. Aahh, please feel free to call me Vadi."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kent Kokubu. My best regards."
"Thank you for coming all this way. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"I can use dark attribute magic to move in the shadows. Even if I have never been to a place, as long as my genus have been there, there is no problem in moving."
"Is that so. Then, you departed from Volzard ..."
"Just, it was a little while ago. I came after having breakfast at the boarding house."
Both Vadi and the pirate-like man looked at each other with their mouths open.
Maa, even Amanda-san, who knew that I could move in the shadows, was shocked.
"Aahh, excuse me. Please, let's talk slowly inside."
"Yes, please excuse me."
The Lord's villa had an open design with many windows, probably to let out the damp wind from the sea.
From the balcony of the living room, you could see the bay and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
"Uwaa ... This is wonderful. It's like an artistic painting."
"This is a place that our ancestors have been proud of, and you can enjoy a variety of scenery in the morning, noon, dusk, and night."
After enjoying the view overlooking the bay for a while, I shifted my gaze to the outside of the bay and offshore.
The wind was weaker today than yesterday, and the open sea seemed to be calm.
"If the Kraken were not there, we would see many ships coming in from outside the bay and heading out to the other side of the ocean, but right now you can't see them."
"Where does the Kraken appear?"
"If you look from here, you can actually see the ships being attacked from here, just a little bit in front of the horizon."
Vadi-san had a somber expression on his face as he said this.
He could see, but he seemed to have a sense of helplessness being unable to even reach out.
"When did the Kraken appear?"
"I think it first showed up early in the New Year."
"Since then, have ship operations completely stopped?"
"No, in the beginning, the frequency of attacks was low, so it was a gamble, but there were quite a few ships that set sail."
"Is there a reason why it was decided to postpone sailing?"
"That's because not a single ship from the other side has come."
"Ehh, then, does that mean all the ships heading this way were sacrificed?"
"That's possible, or perhaps they're afraid of the Kraken and have decided not to set sail."
In a situation where not even a single ship has arrived, they probably wouldn't have the courage to set out.
"Sailors are full of people with bad tempers, but on the other hand, they are sensitive to danger and don't confuse courage with recklessness."
"In other words, they want proof that the ships currently anchored at the port can safely reach the other side?"
"That's right. Probably, as soon as one ship arrives, they will begin preparations for departure."
Looking down at the city from the balcony once again, I saw that there was no plaza that looked like a square in the city of Jobet.
It felt like the slope of the mountain was approaching the very edge of the bay, and a wide space seemed to only exist around the port.
"Excuse me, what is that plaza?"
"What is it, aahh, that's a shipyard. It's a place where large ships that go out to sea are built, but it seems like work has stopped due to the current situation."
"If I can kill the Kraken, is it safe to bring it there?"
"Let me see ... No, you can see the church steeple over there, right?"
"Where ... Aahh, yes, yes, it's a pointed red roof."
"Yes, the other side is the landing area of the fish market, and there is a large space for whales. If possible, could you bring it there? I will contact the Fisheries Association."
"Understood. Also, would you mind telling me a little more about the Kraken?"
"Yes, of course I don't mind. I'll freely tell you everything I know.
After that, I asked Vadi about the Kraken, and the more I heard about it, the more I got the impression that it was a giant squid.
When attacking a ship, it surfaced from the ocean floor with its legs up, clung to the bottom of the boat, entangled its legs, and tried to drag it to the ocean floor.
However, in that situation, the Kraken's main body would be hidden by the ship, making it unlikely that a direct attack could be launched.
Even if it was an A-rank with the fire attribute, they couldn't even see the Kraken, and I felt like they couldn't even find a way to attack.
"So far, is there no record of anyone being able to subjugate a Kraken?"
"Yes, there are records of people being able to drive away the Kraken, but those are mostly about attacks that were carried out all at once when it emerged from the sea. However, even then, there are no records of significant damage being caused. Lately, people have just been waiting for them to disappear."
"If you think about it normally, it feels like you have no chance of winning unless you take the Kraken out of the sea, but are there any records of the Kraken going on land?"
"There are none. Once the Kraken reaches a certain distance, it won't go any closer to land."
"On the other hand, do you feel like if you get close to a certain distance by boat, it will attack you?"
"That's right. It's like that."
Apparently, in order to get rid of the Kraken, I needed to go out to sea.
While I was talking with Vadi-san, I felt someone approaching from the front door of the house.
"Uncle, is it true that the Monster User has appeared!"
The person who strode into the living room had flowing brown hair with gold mesh in it, she looked like she was two or three years older than me, and she had dog-like ears and a tail.
Her tanned, well-defined body was wrapped in a simple white shirt and red hot pants, and her slender legs were equipped with leather strap sandals.
Behind the girl, who looked like a female pirate, five strong men who looked like henchmen were following.
"Diana, you're being rude to our guest!"
Even though Vadi raised his voice, the girl called Diana continued to stare at me.
"Uncle,surely this stupid looking kid isn't the Monster User, right?"
"Diana, if you're going to continue to be rude ..."
"What can a child like this do. Even that A-rank adventurer, Scorched Earth Marcio had no way of achieving it."
I felt that there was a hint of disdain in the way she looked at Vadi-san and then back at me.
It was dangerous, Sahel was about to jump out, but Fred stopped her right away.
"I'm sorry, Kent-san. She's my sister's daughter, but as you can see, she's a naive child ..."
"Nope, don't worry. It's not uncommon to be treated like this."
"Fuun, even if I say it with words, it seems like you don't understand ... Wha! What!"
Before she came into the living room, she must have performed a body strengthening chant.
Diana, with enchanting steps, drove a flowing horizontal kick towards me, but just before she could hit my torso, she was blocked by a shield of darkness.
"Vadi-san, I will talk to you again after I do some reconnaissance, so please excuse me for today."
When I put out a shield of darkness behind me and disappeared, everyone in the living room let out a cry of surprise.
"H, he's gone! Where did he go."
"What, that guy. How did he stop Diana-san's kick."
Meanwhile, Vadi-san raised his voice.
"Diana! Do you understand what you just did!"
"It's Uncle who doesn't understand. Instead of leaving it to someone like that, please let us do it!"
"Don't be stupid! You just said that even an A-rank adventurer couldn't do anything. Or are you saying that you're even more capable than Marcio!"
"Marcio was an adventurer who lived inland and was not used to the sea. We who know the sea around here well should be able to do better."
"If it was an enemy that people like you could do something about, we would have finished subjugating it long ago. Not to mention, multiple Krakens have been confirmed this time. We cannot allow ships to go out of the bay without permission!"
Even though Vadi glared at them, Diana and the others still had dissatisfied expressions on their faces.
"Fred, keep an eye on Diana-tachi. Also, if they try to leave on a ship without permission, let me know."
[ Roger ... Leave it to me ... ]
However, in the shadow space, Sahel had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
"Why is it, why shouldn't I kill them, Nushi-sama."
"If a human were to kill a child of a Sand Lizardman who had done some mischief, what would the Sand Lizardmen do?"
"Of course, we would take revenge."
"That's right. Even if humans and Sand Lizardmen were in opposite positions, I think they would take revenge in the same way."
"What do you want to say, Nushi-sama."
"Just now, Diana threw verbal abuse at me and tried to kick me, if you ask me, she is a child who was doing mischief. Vadi-san said she was a naive child."
"Yes, he said so."
"If Sahel killed that child, Vadi-san might take revenge on me."
"If that happens, wouldn't it be better to just kill him?"
"I want to get along well with Vadi-san, but ... Sahel, will you get in the way of that?"
"That is ..."
"Sahel, we have strong power, but if we use it without thinking, we will be surrounded by enemies. No matter how powerful we are, it's impossible for us to live with the whole world as our enemy, and I don't want a brutal world where we keep killing each other all the time."
"However, I am thinking of Nushi-sama ..."
"Sahel, sit here."
I sat Sahel on one of the wooden boxes in the shadow space, and gently hugged her and stroked her head.
Yup, if I don't do this, our height won't match.
"Thank you, Sahel."
"Nushi-sama ..."
"Sahel has just moved away from her parents, just come out of the desert, and there are so many things she doesn't know, but she still tried to do her best for me."
"Yes, for Nushi-sama's sake ..."
"It's okay, you don't have to try hard from the beginning. Just learn from Fred-tachi and remember how to move and when to use your power. Also, killing your opponent is a last resort. Let's think about how to solve the problem without killing them. Got it?"
"Understood, Nushi-sama."
"Yup, Sahel is a good girl."
As I continued to gently stroke her, Sahel suddenly relaxed and fell asleep.
When I thought about it, she was the only one left from her herd and became my genus, so I guess she was keeping her guard up.
I let Sahel sleep until it was time to pick up Klaus-san and the others.
When I went to pick up Klaus-san at the appointed time, Arnath, the Lord of Edelich, was there.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Klaus-san."
"Ou, Kent. Did you go take a look at the Kraken?"
"No, I went to greet Vajardi-san, but I haven't gone to the Kraken yet."
Arnath seemed a little surprised when he heard my words.
"Did you really meet Vajardi?"
"Yes, I was given a rough welcome by a young lady named Diana ..."
Arnath grinned and relaxed his cheeks.
"I see, it seems to be true. Even if I hear that you can move freely without being bound by distance, I won't really feel it unless I check it out for myself."
"Given that the other party is what they are, I want to concentrate my efforts and take down the Kraken."
"I don't mind. There's nothing I can do about it anyway. My best regards."
I shook hands with Arnath, and first sent Norbert and his escort to Marburg.
"You have really helped me. I would like to thank you once again."
"No, Marburg and Volzard are neighbors, so let's flourish together."
"That's right. Marburg is happy to have reliable neighbors."
I shook hands with Norbert and headed back to Bakkenheim once again.
"Then, let's go home, Klaus-san."
"Hey, Kent. You said earlier that you were welcomed by a woman named Diana, but I hope you're not planning on taking another wife with her."
"That's outrageous. She's a tomboy who will suddenly attack you with a kick. I will refuse."
"Fuhahaha ... Let's go home, son-in-law."
"Yes, yes, father-in-law."
After sending Klaus-san, Kartz-san, and Bart-san back to the Guild's training ground, my work for today was over.
"Kraken, you say, the Kraken that appears in fairy tales?"
"Yup, that Kraken."
"Ehh, because it's going to swallow the boat. There's no way Kent can win! No good, you going is absolutely no good!"
At the dinner table, I talked about the nomination request, and when I said I was going to exterminate the Kraken, Meisa-chan told me it was no good.
"I have no intention of getting on a boat and exterminating it, and even from the middle of the ocean, I can just dive into the shadows and come back."
"Uu~h ... Anyway, it's no good. It's dangerous, so it's no good!"
"This time, I'm basically going to exterminate it from within the shadows, so it won't be dangerous. Krakens can't come inside the shadows."
"Uu~h ... Really?"
"Really, really."
"Really, really?"
"I told you it's fine, even the person who requested it said if things go well they feel like they're making a profit, and there's no deadline for the request, and there's no penalty if I can't complete it."
"Uu~h ... But, it's no good if it's dangerous."
"Yes, yes, I got it."
When I gently stroked her head, Meisa-chan's eyes narrowed happily.
"So then, Kent, are you going to look at Jobet tomorrow?"
"That's right. I'm planning to show up at the villa of the Lord of Jobet first thing in the morning, greet the Lord's son, gather some information, and then go to Breichberg in the afternoon to pick up Klaus-san."
"Haa ... Just hearing it makes me dizzy. It's from one end of Landshelt to the other. That's completely unthinkable."
As Amanda-san said, the distance would take almost a month to travel normally using a horse-drawn carriage.
Maa, Guryayev in Barshania and Tokyo on Earth were much, much further away.
"Right, if I find fresh shellfish on sale, I will buy some as a souvenir. They would be delicious as an ingredient in soup."
"Aahh, that's good. The only shellfish you can get in Volzard are those that live in the river or those that have been dried. I'd like to try some fresh seafood."
"In any case, exterminating the Kraken is not something that can be finished in one day, so why don't I buy some when I go over there."
"I'm looking forward to that. I'll put my skills to work and cook for you."
As expected from a chef, Amanda-san's eyes lit up when she heard that she could get fresh ingredients.
If it's shellfish, it could probably be caught it in the bay.
Let's get a little more stock and have another dinner party.

He had a dagger hanging from his waist and looked like a pirate.
"Good morning. Is this the Lord's villa?"
"It is. Do you need something, kid."
When the man smiled, his tanned skin and white teeth were dazzling.
Yup, it's the perfect character to advertise toothpaste.
"My name is Kent Kokubu and I came from Volzard. I received a nomination request from Arnath-sama and came to say hello."
"Kent Kokubu, you say! That's you?"
"Yes, this is the certificate that Arnath-sama entrusted me, and this is my Guild card."
"S-rank ... W, wait a minute."
The man was friendly and spoke to me, but when I showed him my letter and Guild card, his expression changed and he ran into the building.

It would have been better if he had guided me in the same tone as initially, but he seemed strangely nervous and his words were strange.

"Since then, have ship operations completely stopped?"

"That's right. Probably, as soon as one ship arrives, they will begin preparations for departure."
Looking down at the city from the balcony once again, I saw that there was no plaza that looked like a square in the city of Jobet.
It felt like the slope of the mountain was approaching the very edge of the bay, and a wide space seemed to only exist around the port.
"Excuse me, what is that plaza?"
"What is it, aahh, that's a shipyard. It's a place where large ships that go out to sea are built, but it seems like work has stopped due to the current situation."
"If I can kill the Kraken, is it safe to bring it there?"
"Let me see ... No, you can see the church steeple over there, right?"
"Where ... Aahh, yes, yes, it's a pointed red roof."
"Yes, the other side is the landing area of the fish market, and there is a large space for whales. If possible, could you bring it there? I will contact the Fisheries Association."
"Understood. Also, would you mind telling me a little more about the Kraken?"
"Yes, of course I don't mind. I'll freely tell you everything I know.

The person who strode into the living room had flowing brown hair with gold mesh in it, she looked like she was two or three years older than me, and she had dog-like ears and a tail.
Her tanned, well-defined body was wrapped in a simple white shirt and red hot pants, and her slender legs were equipped with leather strap sandals.

"Fuun, even if I say it with words, it seems like you don't understand ... Wha! What!"
Before she came into the living room, she must have performed a body strengthening chant.

"Understood, Nushi-sama."
"Yup, Sahel is a good girl."
As I continued to gently stroke her, Sahel suddenly relaxed and fell asleep.
When I thought about it, she was the only one left from her herd and became my genus, so I guess she was keeping her guard up.
I let Sahel sleep until it was time to pick up Klaus-san and the others.
When I went to pick up Klaus-san at the appointed time, Arnath, the Lord of Edelich, was there.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Klaus-san."
"Ou, Kent. Did you go take a look at the Kraken?"
"No, I went to greet Vajardi-san, but I haven't gone to the Kraken yet."
Arnath seemed a little surprised when he heard my words.
"Did you really meet Vajardi?"
"Yes, I was given a rough welcome by a young lady named Diana ..."
Arnath grinned and relaxed his cheeks.
"I see, it seems to be true. Even if I hear that you can move freely without being bound by distance, I won't really feel it unless I check it out for myself."
"Given that the other party is what they are, I want to concentrate my efforts and take down the Kraken."
"I don't mind. There's nothing I can do about it anyway. My best regards."
I shook hands with Arnath, and first sent Norbert and his escort to Marburg.
"You have really helped me. I would like to thank you once again."
"No, Marburg and Volzard are neighbors, so let's flourish together."
"That's right. Marburg is happy to have reliable neighbors."
I shook hands with Norbert and headed back to Bakkenheim once again.
"Then, let's go home, Klaus-san."
"Hey, Kent. You said earlier that you were welcomed by a woman named Diana, but I hope you're not planning on taking another wife with her."
"That's outrageous. She's a tomboy who will suddenly attack you with a kick. I will refuse."
"Fuhahaha ... Let's go home, son-in-law."
"Yes, yes, father-in-law."
After sending Klaus-san, Kartz-san, and Bart-san back to the Guild's training ground, my work for today was over.
