"Oh, you've lost. I've come to a pretty good point."

　Seeing Ray's death-size blade cut the head diagonally, Vihela lets out a small sigh. 　
　Nevertheless, a spear-like blow of the tongue released at him is avoided by rotating, and at the same time he is cut off by a blow with a claw on the back of his hand.
　He approaches Spear Frog with his flowing body, kicks it up with his insteped feet, and cuts it off with his fingernails, looking intently at the tip of his tongue as it flies.
　Spear Frog's blood, pieces of meat and internal organs are scattered around him, and for a moment there is a strong smell of blood around him.
　However, the smell of blood soon spread the wind of the desert, and the only thing that remains is the feeling that it was cut with a magical blade.

"But wouldn't you at least try to excite the shock like that strange species? Then you could have enjoyed a little more."
"Yes,"

　Bune gives such a short voice to Vihela, dashes out his dagger as it passes by the falling Spear Frog, avoiding the blow of his tongue that leaped forward from the air.

"It might have been because he was an abnormal species, but that's boring."

　He muttered from the bottom of his heart that he could communicate with just one word, avoided the tongue stretched out from behind, and stabbed it with a blade extending from the heel of his instep.
　Spear Frog, who had previously only acted in pursuit of an abnormal species, began to act independently as if he had regained his will.

(Or perhaps it was like when Sword Bee and the Queen Bees.)

　Elena wields a whip-like connected sword and cuts it one by one, avoiding Spear Frog's attack on her.
　It's like a princess general to think and still defeat the enemy accurately.

"Roll-rolling.

　Near Elena, Seto also shakes his forefeet with a cry, or kicks his hind foot, breaking Spear Frog's flesh.
　They must have seen the number of their comrades dwindling and eventually realized they had no chance of winning. One Spear Frog, resembling an abnormal species, gave a shrill cry, and the other Spear Frogs, who were still fighting, began to flee in all directions, as if to signal it.
　Bune and Elena were the two men who began to chase the fleeing Spear Frog.
　Ray has a corpse of an abnormal species, so he can't move, and Vihela, if not an abnormal species, seems to be unable to stir up the fighting spirit against the average Spear Frog, and he is sighing and cleaning the sand on his overcoat, as if it were a trivial battle.
　The fact that he fought at such close range and still had not a drop of blood on his overcoat showed how good Viehla was.

"Yes!"

　Needing to make as much money as possible, Bune stops moving by stabbing the dagger in his right hand into Spear Frog's back as he shows his back and runs away, and at the same time kills Spear Frog, who is stuck in his left hand.
　Elena cuts off the torso of several Spear Frogs with her connected sword whipped, or she cuts them with the magic of the wind.
　After a five-minute chase, nearly 50 Spear Frog bodies remained around.

"Well, well... you're both quick as ever." Thank you for waiting. -- oh?"

　After a few minutes of cleaning up Spear Frog, the porters employed by Vihela and Bune finally catch up with them, though they are a little breathless.

(No, I don't think it's Porter's slow, but Vihela and Bune's quick feet.)

　a muttering ray looking up at an abnormal corpse
　Elena approaches him and calls out to him, shaking away Spear Frog's blood and fluid from his connecting sword.

"Why not put it in the item box?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm wondering what to do. You know, there was the case before?"

　The Vihelas were so close that they were muddling with what had happened, but Elena knew immediately what it meant.
　In any case, Ray, who is substandard in many ways, fainted for a short time, so it can't be easily forgotten.
　But...

"But wouldn't the bodies of Stone Puppets and Sword Bee be recovered normally?"
"... oh,"

　nod involuntarily to Elena's words
　It's true that we've kept the abnormal species in the mistling. With that in mind, it was clear that the extraordinary corpses on Ray's side could naturally be stored.
　It must have been a shock that the absorption of magical stones caused her to suffer from the reverse flow of magical powers.
　At any rate, if you leave the body in the desert, the stench of blood could cause other monsters to gather. I'll decide so and put it in the mistling.

(If you think about it the other way around is to take this as bait and knock down the monster that comes close to you.)

　Ray has completed collecting Spear Frog, but when he notices the approaching Vihela, he opens his mouth to hide his inner agitation.

"That's a pity. It seems that I won the game."
"Well, yes," It was unfortunate that we found it earlier."
"I'm sure. Did you look for the body of the sandworm that Ray had knocked down?"
"... ah,"

　I look at Elena's words to the Sandworm's corpse a little further away.
　The Spear Frog scandal had completely forgotten to collect it. But...

"Oh, that's too bad,"

　Vichela, who followed Ray's gaze and saw Sandworm's corpse, muttered a little shrug.
　The bodies of five sandworms that were safe when the abnormal species targeted them, but whether Spear Frog, who was thrown down and confused, ate them as if they were passing by, or simply attacked them because they were in the way of moving. In any case, there are scars all over the body, and even the materials are worn out to the point that it would be a waste of effort.

"... oh, well, I don't mind you."
"Oh, is that all right?"

　Vihela looks small and surprised at Rey's unexpected words.
　But Elena looks vaguely convinced.
　In the first place, what Ray wants is a magical stone that he absorbs through magic. And I've already got several sandworms in front of me, and I'm done absorbing them. ...though I couldn't master any skills.
　If this had been Sandsnake or Grand Scorpion, who had only had one magical stone available, he would probably have turned his eyes and expressed his anger.

"Huh!"

　Viehra's back, speaking with Ray and Elena, is spoken to by Bune.
　One word as usual and expressionless as well, but somehow it seemed to Ray and Elena that the word contained anger.
　Well, it's only natural for Beune to get angry when she and Porter are desperately stripping Spear Frog's material, magical stones, or the site of proof of subjugation.
　However, in the case of Bune, I understood that there was a strong feeling of joy and sorrow, both Ray and Elena. Otherwise he wouldn't want to stroke Seto or Yero at every turn.

"Yes, I see," Just do as your daughter tells you."

　He shrugs his shoulders and borrows a knife from Bune to peel off the spear frog.

"... oh,"

　Ray, who can't help but exclaims at the sight.
　They don't even have the minimum tools they need because they are equipped with equipment.
　It's true that even when we were working together, we borrowed a knife from Bune when we stripped the monster's material.

(But I've heard that he often acts solo, but what do you do then... use the back of his hand?)

　It's made of stone......no, since even the body of a stone papet that was about to become a magical metal can be cut off, an ordinary monster can peel it off without any problems.

"Ray, I'll rip you off what I've knocked you down, so help me out."
"Huh? Oh, I see."

　At Elena's request, Ray also pulls out his usual stripping knife and begins stripping Spear Frog.
　Cut off Spear Frog's right forefoot, and then cut off the spear-like tongue. It is important to cut off the base of your tongue as much as possible.The tip of the tongue is easily penetrated by leather armour made of low-rank monster leather, while being elastic and flexible, and resistant to some extent.
　It can be used as a weapon on the tip of a spear, or it can be used as a whip with some modification even though there are very few users themselves, and so on.
　Next, cut off two delicious hind legs, and finally remove the magic stone from the heart.
　It didn't take long for the stripping to finish, as Spear Frog itself was not so large, and Elena and Sett had beaten fewer than the Vihelas.
　The place where the Vihelas, Elena, and Seto were fighting was a little far away, so we didn't have to think about which monster to defeat, which is probably why the stripping ended in a short time.

`Well, it's over for now,' What, then, do you do with the abnormal species that you have knocked down?"

　As Vihela asks the porter's man, handing him the last magical stone, Ray turns his eyes to the place where the strange species lay.

"No matter what you say, the Silwa family will buy this abnormal species and send it to the guild for further investigation." I don't think you can strip the material off."
"Well, I suppose so," Then why don't we go back to earth? It's hot in this desert even with overcoats. Oh, when it comes to the game, it's my loss after all right.
"It would have been meaningless to win."
"Oh? Do you understand?"

　When I tell her from an abnormal species, she smiles back.

"It's only natural, you know, because there was very little I'd ask for. That's all right."
"If you say so, it hurts your pride a little."
"Yes!"

　The two speak calmly in places where there is a strong smell of sandworms and spear frog blood.
　As they face each other, Bune tells them to get out of the dungeon with his eyes, not his words.
　For Bune, there's no point in staying here any longer, since he's been ripped off from the side of an abnormal species, which was his biggest goal.
　However, since the Silwa family buys the materials, magical stones, and the parts to prove the subjugation, it may be said that it is time to make money, depending on your thinking.

(No, it's a physical problem. I'm only ten years old, after all.)

　Thinking so while looking at Bune, Ray turns to Elena next to him.
　He must have thought of the same thing as Ray, and he was looking anxiously at Bune.

"Well, I'm tired of moving through the desert, and I want to relax." What do you think?"
"I agree with Mr. Bune. "We were not able to capture the target of this request, but considering the number of monsters that Vichela and Beune had knocked down, I think the income would be more than enough."""

　The Porter man agreed, and Vihela probably didn't feel like taking the target species right in front of her. He nods to Bune and Porter and turns to Ray.

"Why don't we go home anyway? There are no abnormal species anymore. It's better to act together than to act separately, right?"
"I don't mind... what shall I do?"

　It's reassuring for Ray that Bune, the thief, is with him. So I ask Elena, who is next to me, but she breathes out and then opens her mouth.

"If you don't want to interfere with Ray, I'll forgive him." and I'm worried about Bune."

　Thus the Rays and Vichelas joined together and headed into a chamber of wizards.
