Chapter 108 (2/2)
I stepped onto the sandy beach.
The ship had dropped anchor offshore and sailors were unloading their belongings into small boats.
”It's not so different from how I imagined it.”
”Kyu!”
Frau and Panda looked sullenly at the forest at the end of the beach.
It certainly looks just like the one we have on our mainland.
However, when I think of it as different scenery, I feel deeply moved.
I instructed Rosuke to eliminate any dangerous monsters in the vicinity, and Sharkboy to protect the sailors.
”What's wrong, Kaede?”
I noticed Kaede in a daze.
”I was born and raised here, but I don't really feel like it.”
”You've never been away from home. You can't blame yourself for thinking that.”
”Maybe I have. And you, Master?”
”Well, I still can't believe this is my mother's birthplace.”
Hm?
Are those Slimes?
A few Slimes came out of the forest.
The monsters living here don't seem to be that different from the place where I come from.
''Master, the level of the slimes here...''
”What's wrong?”
”They're level 100.”
I didn't immediately understand what Kaede had told me.
”They're level 100 slimes?!”
”Yes, that's what the evaluation indicates.”
A slime is a small monster that even a child can defeat.
Their basic ability is the lowest of all monsters.
Even if they are over 100, they don't pose a risk.
But the problem here is that their level is 100 times what they are in my country.
There is no way there are other monsters with a lower level than this slime.
”It seems that this area is high level. We chose to camp in an area that was unpopulated, but we didn't count on something like this.”
”Should we change our camp's location?”
”But if we move to another suitable place, it will take several days, and if that place also turns out to be the same as this one… That's another problem to add.”
There's no time for that.
I'll use my skills to level up the research team.
The research will last at most one year.
If they can't fight properly, they will be annihilated in no time.
We must prepare them for the unexpected and make them stronger.
It is decided.
I will talk to Luvue as soon as possible.
”My Lord, I found something incredible!”
”Kyui.”
Frau returns from the forest.
What is this amazing thing?
And why does Panda look dirty?”
Frau jumped off Panda and came running down the beach.
”I found a building!”
”In the forest?”
”Yes! There was an old citadel-like building near the river, so I thought I'd go in and investigate, but the door was locked and I couldn't open it.”
Frau beams with pride and says; ”Ahem, it was a good job, 'wasn't it?”
If there are no people living there, it could be used as a base.
In that case, it won't be necessary to build anything here.
”Well done.”
”Praise me and pet me some more!”
When I stroked Frau's head, her expression became relaxed, like that of a kitten.
