Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 35: Monsters in the Lake

When they were directed to another place about 20 people had the same condition, about 10 more people could only sit without being able to do anything.

"Is this a lot?" purin asked which was answered by the man Latifa saved.

"We were previously more, if we knew it would be this dangerous we wouldn't take the job from the merchant."

The man explained how their chariot was destroyed by worms, and fought against many monsters until one day when they managed to defeat the sandstorm monsters happened until they had this kind of difficulty.

The reason why their numbers are reduced is because they try to take water in the lake for others, as is suspected in the lake there is a giant eel that eats whatever is nearby.

"Water is needed in this place," said Purin then followed by Nisa.

"Given this oasis previously blocked sand dunes is indeed a miracle we can find but on the other hand it is also very dangerous nyan."

"Ardhi are you thinking what I think?" ask Anastasia.

"Well, the only way to save them is to defeat that lake monster, we can get some water and there's most likely something to eat in it as well."

"Sounds it's gonna be a fun fight."

"I feel that way too" added Mery.

"I'm going with desu too."

Ardhi was silent to think about it, he recalled how the magic capacity Risa had and replied after considering it.

"I think there's another way we can do it without fighting."

Nisa and Mery fall into disappointment.

"Risa can use water magic, then just ask Risa to bring out water for all of us."

"Ah, you realize it. I thought you guys would choose to fight desu."

"Not that such magic requires such a large mana capacity, the adventurers among us can also use water magic yet they cannot use magic continuously for two to three days."

"For Risa it doesn't matter, she loved where."

On Ardhi's spontaneous statement, the person in question laughed.

"From where do words like loved where desu, hmmm but that's not wrong either, I understand I'm going to use water magic."

Just as Risa said so, the lake suddenly exploded and spouted water into the air, from which a 50-meter-high giant eel appeared with its lined teeth.

"Looks like the way you can't do Ardhi, he seems more interested in eating human flesh."

"Some monsters could sometimes sense which energy was abundant, and they preferred to prey on such people desu, I was loved where but at the same time I was hated by many for being a doom."

Ardhi finally understood better why Risa's figure was sealed in the cursed tree, the reason was none other than what Risa said earlier.

The matter of Risa destroying the city was not because of her own will but because she often brought powerful monsters to the place where she lived, because of her sense of responsibility she would call it her own deed. In the worst case that he also attracts disaster creatures.

Risa seemed to be carrying a thin smile as if she realized that Ardhi had gotten to know her faster than everyone.

He said without hesitation.

"Are you going to choose to dump me like everyone did to me?"

Of course Ardhi nudged his forehead until he held it while groaning softly.

"Sick desu."

"We'll talk later, we beat this thing first, everyone's on standby except Risa."

Risa just puffed her cheeks pouting. If Risa participates in the fight maybe the funds will be destroyed so she is only asked to freeze the funds with magic and then later become a spectator.
