It's Not That I Like Using a Blunt Weapon!

The Sulain River is not deep enough for Hydra's giant body to sink to the bottom and become invisible.

"Huh? Toca evaporated from the light just now?

Roselia leans her neck.

"I don't think so. No matter how deep I am, it's not powerful enough to wipe out the Hydra Class monsters."

That's right. Such a big monster disappeared from the scene.

"Well, what do you mean!?

"I'd rather hear that. I wonder if it's a defective product compared to your tank."

"Excuse me! There's no clearance for Hydra to escape!

"Really? There's a lot of space between chains."

"Is that where you came from? Whatever happens, Hydra won't let one of his necks pass! If you're serious, I'm an idiot!

"Hah!?

"Haaaahhh!?

We stare at each other as usual.

Do you understand? Cecil is standing on a pole that I have prepared. If that bothers me, I can still sink her scaffold in the water!

Okay, can I do it!?

"Well, don't fight like this. It's better to find out where the monster went, right?

"Mmm."

"That's for sure....."

Don't do that. I was almost overwhelmed by emotions. Regrettably, Roselia is right this time.

"I'm looking for Hydra! The opponent shouldn't have gone that far!

Cecil flew away from the pole and landed at the base of the bridge.

Skills that increase agility are gained by increasing the level of thin swords. Even if the blunt object level rises, the skill can be high mainly in the arms and endurance, so it is impossible for me to do the trick.

Hmm, I'm not flattered.

Roselia also stood by Cecil as she floated her body with her magical powers.

They turned upstream along the river without looking at me.

If Hydra is not out of the river, there is only a choice between upstream and downstream.

Someone from the carpenters would have noticed if they had crossed the bridge and escaped downstream. That's how you decided to go upstream.

Is it a straightforward idea? But I didn't feel like chasing them.

In the first place, it was strange when such a big monster suddenly disappeared. In that strange situation, common sense behavior seemed ineffective.

But what should I do...?

"Dr. Hannah!

When I think about it, a young carpenter comes running to us.

That's right. I was asking him a favor during lunch.

Something's happened.

That's probably what it means to come to me at this time. As you breathe, the young man answers.

"Yes, sir, as expected."

"I knew it.... so why are you looking so unexpected?

His face is hard for some reason, and his eyebrows are hanging more than ever, as if he had lost someone dear.

"No, that's... Maybe it's faster for you to see it. Follow me."

Apparently what he saw was a hesitation even to put it into words.

Then we have to see for ourselves. I followed him and ran downstream, contrary to Cecil and the others.

A young carpenter walks down the river for a while before entering a nearby forest.

"Is there someone here?

"Yes, there was a small spring in this forest. It seems to be connected to the river in the basement. Ah, it's time. From here on out, don't talk."

Young people slow down and lower their posture. I followed the move and hid behind the tree ahead.

Next to the fountain stands Weiss Alceria.

I was asking the young man to follow me.

No matter what you think, it is strange that the monster always disappears when it comes out. Besides, it was really unnatural to say that you had never seen a monster before.

"As you can imagine, it was that man who was manipulating the monster."

The young man murmurs with a small voice.

No surprise at all. Because I thought that bald guy could do that kind of scum.

"You were taking bribes from neighboring countries?"

"Hey, maybe."

With the Dreybridge broken, Tiaret has to rely mainly on imports from neighbouring countries.

Without competitors, neighboring countries can naturally raise prices and make big profits.

Suppose part of it was flowing to Weiss Alceria, who oversees the bridge's reconstruction?

He would certainly think that it would be more lucrative not to return the bridge.

However, simply postponing the construction will result in incompetent lettering from the country.

So I came up with the idea of building a bridge and breaking it, and building it and breaking it. I mean, it's a selfie.

It's also a tricky way to create an incredibly powerful monster and sympathize with and avoid suspicion around it, saying, "That can't be helped."

"But how does such a bald man manipulate monsters? I really don't think you're fixing that magic."

There is magic in the world that uses monsters.

It is a disgusting, so-called deviant alternative to blunt instruments, but I have heard that it requires much more advanced knowledge than manipulating flames and winds.

It's impossible to feel such intellect from Wise.

"Shh... I'm back"

Watching out for the young man, I grab my mouth. When I thought the fountain was shaking, it was Hydra's head that came out of it.

However, it is shrinking in size that is not comparable to what we saw in the river. Besides, I don't have eight heads, just one. It is no longer just a big snake.

"You're back. It's been a long time."

Phew, and Wise snorts.

"I'm sorry, Sue. Father."

The head of the snake certainly said so.

Dad? And now my voice... In surprise, the head of the snake slowly changed shape - a girl I know too.

"Dad, who are you?

To a naked daughter crawling out of the spring, how dare Wise slap her.

"Anyway, in public, I don't remember allowing you to call me that where nobody else is!

Oh, my God! I heard blood pouring up my head.

However, the young man is desperate to push and hold me, so I can't wait to leave.

Still, what does that mean...?

The monster that has broken the bridge so far - is it true that she was a little girl?
