41 Episode 39: White Pig Tracking
In a square with sea views, illuminated by the midday sun.
On the stage after the dance contest, Mea was spoken to by Jean, acting mayor of the town.
Jean, like a pig, even when he spoke, was bolly-eating baked sweets like cookies. I have to wonder what's going on.
I carefully observe from the audience in Chili Eye and listen in Hear More.
Jean says in a sticky tone.
"Ki, your dance, it was wonderful, it was wonderful! I thought you were the best, really."
Skip cookie shards from your mouth when you talk.
"Yes... so?
Mea didn't change her complexion, but she just stepped back.
"And because it's a special prize, I want to give you something special. I wanna give it to you."
"Why... say it twice?
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu So I'll give you a special prize, I'll give it to you! But it's not here. Come home, right?
"Home?"
"Don't worry, I'm the son of the mayor, don't worry! There's plenty of money and delicious stuff, haha..."
Jean exhales roughly with covetousness.
- What is this guy, he's so creepy?
Mea looked at me chilly. Diagonally facing down so that the tail is alert.
But I nodded.
I could feel it coming off as a decoy, but it must be a chance to grip the weakness.
- I'll be sure to protect you, so it's okay.
My heart seemed to pass on, and Megna nodded back small.
"Okay, go"
"Oh, good, 'cause there's a carriage back there. Come on, come on!
Jean stands first and walks out.
Meigna followed behind a short distance, quietly in small steps.
Less popular back streets.
Jean pushed a giant into a carriage with a window covered with black curtains. Blunt weight like a pig.
Give me a bumpy hand like a wet glove in the water.
"Come on! Get in, get in!
Meigna hung her hand on the knife pattern and pulled out about 1 cm. The white blade glows.
"... don't touch me"
"Oh, I'm sorry! You're shy, you're cute, you're cute!
Mea boarded the carriage.
In the seat furthest from Jean, sit vigilantly like the cat you have borrowed.
Then the boo-horse moved forward naturally and pulled the carriage, even though he had not whipped it in.
- Hmm? Isn't that crazy?
I was leaving the square for the mayor's mansion, but I stopped and saw your man.
[Magic Doll] A machine made of magic that kills on the orders of its master.
[Demonic puppet] A manipulated creature who obeys only his master's orders.
Boo-hose was crazy, too.
At last, they want to move without anyone knowing.
Besides, the carriage did not go to the mayor's mansion.
I saw Jean just in case, but he was a normal person.
In case you get attacked, Mea can repel you at her leisure right now.
Besides, I'm wearing it, so it's not going to be as safe as this.
- No, are you forbidden to be alarmed? So I failed again and again.
I need to do everything I can.
I cast a spell in my mouth to keep the people on the road from noticing me.
"-" Water blade grant "-" Wind blade grant "
In each of the two knives dwelt the power of wind and water.
To a sudden force, Megna's body trembled for a moment. Touch the knife from above the sheath.
And caress her with thin fingertips.
The black tail shook happily.
He was aware of my powers. That's my witch.
Of course, it is forbidden to be alarmed.
I slowly chased the carriage so they wouldn't notice me.
The midday sun falls from the top.
The cobblestones of the harbor town were lit white back, and the shadows of blue and black were darkened.
A carriage of Migna and the town mayor's son Jean running along the back street making a ragged and wheeled noise.
I followed it while using Chili Eye and Much Heard Ear.
Inside, white pigs were desperately talking.
"Hey, hey! You're a beast, aren't you? I thought that dance belonged to the Beast Man? Hey?"
"... no"
"So, where did you learn that, dude?
"Kaika, when I thought about your brother... I could dance naturally"
"Shh, that's amazing, right! Show me at home, show me!
Megna's pointy ears move pimply in excessive reaction.
"So... why, you say it twice?
The white pig gazed at his thick lips with a tongue like a Namekuji, with his blood-running eyes.
"Come on, I'm excited! Because your dancing was great, from!
"Yes..."
Mea remained vigilant and her little hand was squeezing the knife pattern tightly.
The carriage crossed the outer wall of the town and headed east.
Wide enough streets for a different carriage. The rattling and body goes up and down.
Shortly after leaving the town gate, there is a way down to the cove.
A sign shirt marked 'Kaika Beach the Brave' was in the wind.
Slowly turn on the carriage so they don't notice.
I didn't even have to rush so fast because I didn't have the speed. I don't even sweat.
- and.
Suddenly, a shock ran over my head.
"Kaika! It's weird!
I unexpectedly look into the river while I remember dizziness in all my heart stories that I don't know about adding or subtracting.
The coves on the white sandy beach were looking strange.
The blue sea is strangely quiet, with no waves.
Most of the people were going up to the sandy beach, swinging violently at the surface of the sea as Yeturia and the other Naga swam through the sea.
I hear he's late on the run. Several townspeople are being pulled and hung in the water.
But I don't see the demon.
- The Eye of Truth.

--------------------
I see. Yetulia will struggle.
Water disabled on invisible.
There can be no amount of recovery.
Plus, it's big.
Size enough for the cove to fill about half.
Naga and the others are desperate to wiggle their teeth and truncate, but they only give about a hundred in proportion.
The only way to defeat it is with a single blow.
Just this jellyfish, you're not thinking.
I'm just instinctively moving.
I glance down the street. The carriage is moving slowly.
- Now inbound rivers and seabathers are more pinch.
At that speed, you should just knock it down and go back.
When I made that decision, I ran down to the river at the speed of the wind with a "Leg of Disease".
I screamed as I went down to the beach.
"Guys, get back more! To the woods!
Celica comes running over messing with her blonde hair.
"Kaika, there are some people in town -!"
"I know! - Lapisia, stand on the beach!
"Yeah!"
Lapisia stood on the beach in white squid water.
I'll see to it and I'll run out.
Run on a giant jellyfish covering the inlet.
I pulled out my machete and paid my flying tentacles.
Why not attack.
Because people were in the way.
Attacking normally involves people because they are too powerful.
"Yetulia, rescue is first! Cut the tentacles of the captured!
"Kaika, I got it! - Ha!"
A person goes out to the surface when a swing is made.
And I came to the entrance.
I looked back into the river and stuck my hand out.
"-" The Wind Clap "!
Wow! And a fierce breeze emanates from my hand.
The wind flows and hits the floating person directly. Blow straight to the beach.
Ahead, Lapisia had her hands up.
Like a baseball outfield fly, catch.
I scream.
"Come on, Rapisia -" The Wind Clap "!
Dwong! and a gust of wind blows, blowing people to the beach again.
"Oh, yabba"
A little out of direction, but caught Lapisia flying by with the acceleration and accuracy of Ichiro coarseness.
In a relieved breath, Yetulia flew the people out to the surface, one after the other, to the sandy beach.
Lapisia rushes to the right and to the left to receive it on the beach.
That speed and accuracy is enough to take a catcher fly even though he's an outfielder.
And people, not balls.
It was a move that had to be the power of Mother Earth God.
I think.
Yesterday, a few hours after cleaning the demons in the river, I flew them to the beach to dismantle the demons I had defeated and let them catch them.
I guess that became practice.
- I can't believe it helped.
I flew one after the other.
Yeturia took the last one out.
Lapisia on land shouts out loud.
"So alone! Alone!
- Do you know what that means and say it?
I put out the Wind Clap out of my hand.
People are skipped and rapicia caught.
Then he shouts to Yeturia shortly after resting.
"Get out of the sea!
"Okay!
Yeturia and her companion Naga walked up to the shore, waving their tentacles off.
I put up a machete - no, strong magic is dangerous because you have eyes.
Defeat with weak magic to the extent of bravery.
"Follow me, clean breeze, with a shimmering blade and a fierce swirling heaven! - Wind Blade Tornado.
The air in the cove began to spin clockwise, wondering if it sounded like a gobbling sound.
That began to gather around the center of the jellyfish, becoming a tornado like a single thick pillar.
Suck up the water like a vacuum cleaner and also the jellyfish.
Transparent bodies fall apart and sparkle in the light of day.
And when I confirmed with the "Truth Eye" that I sucked it all up, I took it to the outer ocean and erased the tornado.
Transparent fragments pouring down into the sea.
The fish came together and waved the water to eat.
I put my knife away.
... Ah.
I can't go back to land anymore.
Shall we swim?
Yetulia came where I put my hand on the belt.
"I'm sorry, Kaika. I couldn't do the job they told me to protect."
"Yeah, but there's some parts of it that I can't help. Take me to land."
Get on your back.
Yeturia put her white back on the water.
Jump on its back and stand on its feet.
I swam to land to slip through the sea.
When we got to the beach, Celica and Lapisia rushed over.
Celica was relieved while holding down the red bikini with her hands.
"That's Kaika. I didn't know you could end up with a single blow. Moreover, the way the rescue was carried out was accurate and bold. I'm only surprised."
"It's easy. - Lapisia, you've worked so hard. Thanks."
"Wow! They praised me!
Lapisia was happily nicotine when I stroked her head.
The people of the town also gather around.
But I still have things to do.
"Celica, Lapisia. And Yetulia, I'll take care of it later, so I need you to take care of the injured and keep the cove safe."
"Yes, Kaika!
"Good luck!"
Yeturia said with her brow butt down and sad face.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I put you through. Be more careful from now on."
"Failure is for everyone. If you don't do it next time, you'll be fine."
Yeturia nodded with a strange face.
"That's Kaika. Let me do my best."
"Then I'm coming!
They dropped me off and I ran out.
"That was great, brave man." "I thought you couldn't do it anymore, thank you!
The praise of the townspeople arrived on my back.
Every time I got a voice, I felt strength all over my body.
You seem to have come to believe me sincerely.
I only raised my hand and answered my support.
And I saw the street in Chili Eye as I left the beach.
But I didn't see a carriage.
Hmm?
So I looked around.
I saw it all the way down the road.
But I don't see a carriage like that.
There is no hidden building.
- Shit!
I lost sight of you while you were fighting!
I thought you were gonna be okay because I'm following you!
If I lose her like this, what am I supposed to do!!
- Nah, follow me.
I took a big silver medal [proof of bravery] out of my nose.
Oh?
It's glowing. Looks like someone leveled it up.
That's later.
Tease to show the location of the party members.
A translucent screen appeared in front of me.
My place flashed blue and the members showed up on the red dot.
The red dots are numbered.
One and two are right around the corner. Celica and Lapisia.
Three was a little away. This is Mea.
Turns out it's the order in which I put them in the members.
- Migna seems to be in the southeast.
That means it looks like it took the street and went out on the coastline.
You can be sure that the mayor's son had something to do with the sea demons.
Now, as a brave man, you can do whatever you want.
I shrunk the screen to the top right of the field of view.
And when I went back to the street, I chanted "Legs of Disease," and ran to Mea at the speed of the wind.
