Orphan
I knew it was a lie that this guy was a failure.
"Lucette!"
Olasha's pulling the rope he threw into the river.
"I'm on it!"
A monster with a rope in its mouth jumps out of the river.
Baitoorinx
A type of lizard that lives in rivers
From the neck down, it looks very similar to the Earth Lizard and Water Lizard.
Its most distinctive feature is its jaws, which are longer than its body.
Its mouth is so large that a child can completely fit in it, and it has countless fangs-like blades.
Its jaws are so strong that they can crush even rocks.
"Oraa!"
How do you kill it?
Bind the raw meat with a rope.
When it bites, you drag it ashore.
Before it can open its mouth, you stab it with a sword from above.
It was successful and Baitoorinx died.
"Lucette, we're done here, too!"
"Oh, good job!"
A short distance away, Aritote and Doss were dealing with the situation.
"Doss, did you have any trouble?"
"Yes! I was able to finish it quickly, Sensei!"
Olasha looks a little troubled when he is called that.
"Doss, could you please stop calling me sensei?"
"Why? I think you deserve to be called sensei!"
"He said, Olasha-sensei."
"Please continue to take care of Doss, okay? Olasha-sensei."
This is what smooth sailing means.
"Jeez… Is Baitoorinx a rare monster around here?"
Olasha blatantly deviates from the topic.
"I’m not saying there aren’t any, but I think it’s rare."
"There aren't many big rivers in Boldoi."
The river in front of us is big enough to be uninhabitable for Baitoorinx.
It may be an individual that lost a territorial fight.
"There's a lot of blood upstream."
Olasha didn't miss a trickle of blood in the stream.
"How could you notice that? Are there any half-eaten corpses left?"
"We need to know what's wrong with the river, and if possible, solve it. That's what we're asked to do, right?”
----------------
As expected, a dead body was found in the water upstream.
It's not a monster
"A horse?"
"Is this a horse?"
I see, it is a variety I've never seen before.
"It's not a swift horse, it's a power horse."
Or a heavy horse.
"It's not a breed that many people domesticate."
No horseshoes, no groomed tail.
It's a wild horse
"It is terrible. Even if one is wearing armor, one will still get kicked to death."
"Why doesn't anyone keep one?"
"It has a bad temper. Does Olasha know?"
"No. There are horses in the Holy Kingdom, but I've only seen them once."
"Just once?"
"Yes. In the Holy Kingdom, horses are only found in the north."
I see.
And it seems that Olasha spent most of his time in the south.
He said that he once saw the herd from a distance while fleeing.
"That doesn't happen very often in the south. I remember it well."
And then he stole a ship in the harbor, and here he is.
"Sensei!"
Doss raises his voice from a distance from the corpse.
"What's wrong?"
"…It’s a foal."
A foal with the Baitoorinx teeth marks on it.
It's still breathing
"Looks like it hasn't reached the internal organs... Oops!"
The foal shakes its legs in fear of the approaching Olasha.
"Hey, be careful!"
Although it is a foal, it is a powerful horse.
A direct hit could break bones.
"It's okay... calm down, yeah... calm down."
But when Dos strokes the foal, it becomes docile.
"You're good at that."
"Why is it so easy to calm it down?"
After that, the foal didn't act up, and Olasha applied the ointment he had prepared.
Its legs seemed to be fine and it got up afterwards...
"Hey, Doss."
"How to say it, I’m sorry."
The foal started following Doss, even though he didn't do anything.
I don't know what to do.
I'm gonna have to get some mangers and stuff.
