Chapter 240 (1/2)

When people gather, therebut there are also ti is applicable to Big Tree Village

I think everyone gets along well but there are rare cases of quarrels too

However, there's no violence involve

That's what I decided

In order to quell quarrels, I thought of other methods to settle it without the use of violence

The , and chess

There's also race and hunting the biggest prey

One ti thethebut a waste of food

I'eneral but do that in another city or town if you really want to I wantcontest, I gaveat that tihed However, I never said that it will be a drinking contest of alcohol so I have them drink water They are both dissatisfied

It is not right to use it as a reason to drink

Alcohol intoxication is dangerous

You should only drink alcohol for enjoy with the developes in ethics and culture

It brings various trouble too

This time, Shashaato City's fishermen are troubled with seakins

What seakins? They are people who ood example isa port is a matter of course

Port workers and seamen are led by humans and de there

Even so, the cooperation of seakin is indispensable to obtain marine products

For instance, in order to catch fish, hu a boat

Upon arriving at the place where there is a lot of fish, they will need the help of seakin to drive the fish towards them

In addition, the seakin will also infor monster or demon beast so they can escape

After the humans and demons capture fish, the seakin will demand payment which the former must properly cooat, other domestic animals like cow, or even medicinal herb that can only be found in land

They are provided with a month to do so and there has never been any trouble until now

As for how they got into trouble…

It is because the seakin requested a payive

「They want curry?」

「They seem to have heard it from the conversations of the port workers… 」

However, the Curry Store Marla in Big Roof Shashaato won't let its product be taken out

I don't want to be troubled in case the curry they take hoets spoiled which will

It was explained to the seakin and they said that they don'tto the store itself to eat it

However, they'll still need to put theh they're already in the city

It's not like they can't walk towards the store but the seakin's body will dry up if they leave water

After that, it has becos so they can make it themselves but…

The recipe is out of the question

Seasonings and ingredients are expensive

They can't just think that it's cheap because of the price at Curry Store Marla

Since nothing works out, the fishermen express disapproval which became the start of trouble

The story has reached e after several days when the trouble started

According to the report the sht, they were not able to obtain seafood ever since the trouble started

Marine products from the Goroun Company also came from the cooperation of the fishermen and seakin

The seakin even specifically looked for seaweeds and crabs for us

Noro to with…

But I can't overlook the current situation where our seafood supply was cut off

No, I'll say it honestly

I'm really interested in how to settle this trouble

I ca Hakuren in her dragon form

As forwith Loo and Tier

Gulf is the most accustomed to Shashaato City so he is a must

As for Loo and Tier, I asked thehtly sorry for leaving them behind

Next time, I'll take Ria and Ann

There will be a panic in the city if a dragon suddenly appears so we land on a considerably far place

We contacted thee that will take us to the city

Michael-san arranged an inn for us and ill stay there until the day we'll meet with the parties involved

In the meanti out at Big Roof Shashaato

Hnn…

Neither Loo nor Tier has come to this city but why is it that they know s

ThatRoof Shashaato…the eain

And the day ca place is a beach

A sandy beach

The fisher up on the land side while the seakin is lining up on the seaside

From a spectator's view, they look like far apart but they are unexpectedly near each other

Maa, it's not like they're hitting each other

The seakin, those who have an upper-body of a human and lower body of a fish are called mermaid and those who have an upper-body of a fish and a lower body of a huin

There are also creatures like the nyunyu-daphne The difference is that they are corals

I thought that the one beside it is a lizardman since it really looks like a lizardman

However, it seems to be of a different race They are some sort of sea lizard which is only sie

Loo and Tier explained that to me

We are on the side where the fishermen and merchants are

However, Gulf will be the only one who'll participate with

「Then, let's start」

The representative of the seakin said that He looks like an aged merman

The table was immediately prepared

There are ten chairs

Five for the fishermen and five for merchants

Randy and twodepartment of Goroun Co two chairs will be for me and Gulf

「We plan to resolve our conflict with the city, using our old tradition」

When the old esture

「If you lords will e to overcome the trial, ill follohat you want」

The fisher that

「However, if you can't overcome the trial, you city dwellers must obey us」

This time, it is the seakin's turn to shout cheers of joy

Maa, obeying or not will depend on the result of this so-called trial

「Now then, the first iteht dishes for the 10 sitting people

Right, this is the trial of the seakin You have to eat whatever they'll show you

But why is this a trial?

I'm doubtful but I heard that it is because weird seafood coiven by the fisher bizarre be served?

However, the trial considers taste preference so there's a rule that everyone can use seasonings

The first item

Beautifully sliced red meat of tuna

There are three thick tuna fillet per person

Wow, delicious

It tastes great with both soy sauce and wasabi

I want another serving

No no, if I became full, it will be troublesome for me to eat the next one

Hahaha

All nine except for me

The five fishermen, Randy and the two

「Iht off the bat」

「Last ti blankly at their slice of fish, not rips one tuna fillet…put it on his mouth but…he didn't make it

Disqualify

As for Gulf, he looks like he is about to cry
