When I arrived here, I realized I forgot to tell you about Lane's stall. He was just a little upset in front of the power of Weena Lane. Well, I'll tell him the next time I see him.
”Go back, please.”
”Mmm.”
Apparently the receptionist also remembered Fran, who is a complete face pass. When I told Grandma Jill I wanted to see her, she put me through right away.
”Oh hey? Isn't that Princess Black Thunder? What can I do for you?
”Mm-hmm. I'm investigating the lake”
”... then why again?
”Weena Lane”
Fran told me that he had been asked by Weena Lane to investigate. That would have led us to realize that things were more serious than we could have imagined.
Grandma Jill corrects her residence.
”I see. Does that mean you're worried about things?”
”Mm-hmm. Any information?
”We're looking into it, of course, but we haven't been able to investigate it.”
In the first place, the central part of Lake Vivian, where Modki emerges, is still protected by the Vivian Guardian. Because of this, we can't look into Daiyuan.
”No adventurer is looking into the anomaly?
”There are a few of them. If you're an adventurer, you must be a Sierra to Roblen.”
Robren remembers. He's a Rank B Adventurer, part of the commercial fleet. I had a little conversation there when I acted as an exam officer for the promotion exam. A lot of mess, I bet he was a good guy.
However, I've never heard the name Sierra before.
”Sierra? Who?”
”Oh, have you never met him?
”Probably?”
”Oh, didn't you have a name? He's a kid who played mock wars with you and ranked up. He had brown hair, and he was supposed to hold onto you oddly, don't you remember?
Is that possibly that murderous boy?
He's a rank F adventurer who's been trying to kill Fran, who's supposed to meet him for some reason. No, it's rank e now.
Asking about the characteristics, they're still pretty sure. Will you let me talk to you? Well, let's find it.
”Roblen's the only one we have a request for. However, Sierra seems to be looking into it independently. Well, it's not just Sierra.”
The Adventurer Guild is asking for information about the anomaly, and let's heat up Roblen, the senior adventurer, to make a nomination request.
Many adventurers seem to think about solving this strange mystery and giving it a name, beating advanced adventurers and appealing their presence to the Alliance.
”For now, let me tell you what I know.”
”Please.”
”First, the Modkies often come after ships. I still don't know why. And eat people unlike normal.”
”Want some? Mushamsha?
”Oh, you do it with Mushamsha. Well, apparently we're doing it to absorb magic. It's also been confirmed that he's attacking other warcraft.”
The only time Vivian Guardian attacks an organism is when it is attacked. Moreover, they do not eat at that time, they only attack.
Thinking about it, I understood the anomaly of Modoki very well.
”Why would a ship be attacked?
”I don't know that either. I thought about squeezing it out of the load, but it's a ship with only a single item on it. Almost.”
Isn't this tantamount to knowing almost nothing? If I thought so, I had some good information for once.
”It's just that the odds of being targeted are still certain that the commercial fleet is plentiful. It may be worth attacking because of the number of ships, but there may be other reasons.”
I see. Then why don't you check that out? I'm just gonna go talk to Robren at first.
