Chapter 34 (1/2)
Dealing with Alligators
The boar cargo cart ca down on top of the cart’s canopy, lying fully stretched out, is a man
“FUAAAAaaa We’re about to enter those guys’ habitat, so you guys, look sharp, yo-“
“Then, I think Leader should come down from the top of the canopy”
“Maybe I should stab him with my spear from underneath”
I think it’s a good idea Nice suggestion, Red-White twins
Two days have passed since we left the co the third day It’s now a time when the star that I believe to be like the sun has reached it’s zenith overhead, and it seeator men) territory
“Leader, enough already; I want you to coht?”
“’Ka-y For crying out loud, what a short-tempered Vice-Leader”
Holding down his hat with his right hand so it doesn’t go flying, Leader Keryoil juht he looked cool for a second
“N, then, Red and White We’re counting on you to scout ahead”
“Understood-“
“Aye aye sir-“
So these two are in charge of scouting, huh?
Just by looks, I thought they’d be the kind of characters ould be in charge of raising the spirits of the rear guards, though Hooray, hooray; the types that would be the ones to say that type of thing
Even though their faces aren’t bad, because of their frivolous tone and way too laidback dispositions, it seems like Ramis and Hyurumi won’t fall for them even by mistake
As for weapons, Red has a somewhat short spear White has a short sword Their equipment has the feel of a business shi+rt made out of a heavy material; the color is a faded brown They’ve been used quite a bit, it seems
O-, their expressions went straight all of a sudden Their eyes have sharpened, and the ated in a second If they were always like this, they’d probably be popular omen
Taking a low stance, the two disappeared into the tall grass Just walking in a wetland shouldwithout even a sound Completely different from their looks, they’re excellently capable people, huh?
“Alright then, noait leisurely for some time Hakkon, are there any tasty snacks?”
“The sweet tea for me”
“Welcome”
So it’s Leader and Vice-Leader’s relaxation time They don’t have even a fraction of worry The other short hair, feade member that was there only fine-tunes her bow; there’s not a single concern towards the two that disappeared Is it trust that they have?
Raood, takes a nap Hyurumi seeed it all in one gulp and fidgeted with it and turned it over, writing things down in a notepad
They’re way too defenseless in this area where the gakujinma roam, but their abilities are top notch There’s probably no need for me to keep an eye out However, I never want to ain

The sun is about halfway set, and the each of the Fools of Whi Raently refused With her super-huuess they’re being cautious against that
She sits next to ive her a present of hot milk tea
Don’t be so bothered by it, it’s fine to be cared for Look at Hyuru, full-heartedly scratching while fast asleep … it’s better if you don’t imitate that
“We’re back, yo –“
“We’re home-“
Uo-, that scared , lined up, next tomachine has the ability to detect presences, but I completely didn’t notice them at all
“Leader We checked around”
“Good job We’ll be having dinner in a bit, so before that, go ahead”
“Aye aye sir- Uuum, it’s probably about 2 hours northeast from here, na,Red?”
“See there, with about 30 of the around in there”
So they call each other Red and White too It’s kind of a careless report, but is it going to be ok with that; I’m a bit worried
“So there’s 30 gathered; with that much in a flock, how’s it?”
The Leader’s gaze went towards Hyuru theup
“N-, it’s a flock if it’s over ten, it’s on the big side if it fifty, but it’s less you say If it be thirty, than it a le one?”
“N-to, standing up, it’s about our size, na White”
“Yup, Red I thought it was overall the same”
They’re a little shorter than e-sized creature If I take the approxiators, the spine will extend and it alk on 2 legs; if the ar, than it seems it will be kinda slow
“It seems a bit shorter than usual It usually about two s increased but the flock didn’t, then it could be they didn’t attack and were short on food … naw, if there’s thirty around, then they could roup of about 100”
So you atorator, with hard skin that can be used as arantic mouth make splendid weapons It’s not a mystery where that increase in power comes from
“We aren’t specialists on the hierarchy of this level, so we don’t really understand The gakujinest of the three great powers on this level If the kaerujinmen)increased, then the food increases, so shouldn’t it be hip hip hooray for them?”
“If ya think about it nor kaerujin has stupid-ass fighting power, so it’s a probleroups and wrangle in the stragglers”
“So what youto carelessly lay their hands on that And the jyasouo after the community”
A-, that was sos that go about acting alone, being large creatures that measure two meters front to back is what I heard
“After a jyasouer; that’s the kind of creature it is Just, it got h prices for, so there’s a lot of Hunters that go after them They prowl around alone, so they the best prey”
So the kaerujinatormen) and jyasouma(double-headed snake)
The jyasouma (double-headed snake) is aimed at by the Hunters
The gakujinlection play?
“Maa, so it that Their food all gathered to the King’s side, the jyasou that it be hard to do soainst theot weaker?”
“I see now- Well then, isn’t it better if we don’t do anything in particular and don’t meddle in it?”
“Leader The gakujinht now, to quell the starvation, exactly what do you think they will attack?”
“Maa, it would be us huht then, let’s wipe ‘em all out”
Exactly ill happen to this level’s ecosystem then? If the monsters are completely wiped out, would it be that they just disappear froeon power that will bring forth an outbreak?
