"...set, if you want to use it, please use it and let me know before using it."

　Rey, who has received the fruit the size of a head of a person who doesn't seem to be able to eat, says so to the approaching set.

"Glu?"

　Seth bends her head slightly, and Elena smiles as she watches it.

"Well, there was no problem, so it wouldn't matter. The fruit didn't hit Ray's head. but I don't know what would have happened if I had failed to accept it."
"If something of this firmness falls on your head, you'll suffer considerable damage."

　I lightly tap the back of my hand to confirm the firmness of the blue and green-spotted fruit, but what comes back from that is very different from the feeling of apples, pears, melons, and mandarin oranges that Ray knows.

"I didn't have to take it any more,"

　It was thought to be quite hard and unlikely to crack even if it fell to the ground from about 5 meters high.
　Furthermore, the lays were in an oasis, and the ground was sand, so there would have been no need to worry about further cracking.

"With such firmness, I feel as if I could use it as a weapon. And how do you eat it?"
"It seems to be simply broken with a knife." We have the means of dividing them by striking weapons, but then we shall not be able to eat the fruit inside."
"Gruly!"

　With a small sigh, Ray pulls a knife out of the mistling as Seto purges "Let's eat fast.
　Of course, it's not a knife for ripping off materials that have cut through the bodies of monsters.
　Even Ray probably didn't want to cut the fruit into his mouth with a knife for those purposes.
　The blade touches the fruit as it is, but it cannot be cut with a lighter force than expected.

"You're serious,"
"Oh. I heard there are some protective devices that use this outer part."
"It's not a weapon, it's a protective weapon, what fruit?" ... whoa!"

　mutter dumbfoundedly, and wield a knife quickly, with force. 　
　Even if it is a fruit wrapped in a hard shell, it cannot be tolerated if Ray wields a knife half seriously, and it can be divided into two beautifully in the middle.
　a sweet scent that drifts around at the same time
　It was spotted blue and green, but it was packed full of orange flesh.

"Well... I had a lot of problems with my appearance, but it's pretty good."

　mutter, gently reach out, scoop up the orange flesh with one's finger, and carry it to one's mouth.
　a rich flavor that is as if it were sweet Nevertheless, it is not too sweet and the aftertaste is not bad.
　The fruit, which left a mysterious texture that would melt away in the mouth, would certainly have been acceptable if they were told they would buy it at a high price.
　As for the taste, it would be right to describe it as a condensed mango flavor.
　At the very least, the mangoes Ray received as a share when he was in Japan were not as good as this taste.
　Then enjoy the aftertaste and cut one half of the fruit to Seto and cut the other half again to Elena.
　Sitting sideways at Seto, who is pecking at him with a stick, Ray and Elena relish the fruit cut into bite-size pieces with a knife.
　When Elena puts the cut fruit into her mouth, she opens her eyes surprisingly and tells Ray it tastes good.
　For a few minutes, the two of us continued to eat silently, and by the time the fruit was gone, we were satisfied, but we felt something was missing, but we were just getting a sense of satisfaction.

"Well, it was delicious,"
"Oh, I've had the opportunity to eat all sorts of fine fruits, but I've never had anything like this. It's from Dungeon."
"... Come to think of it, I heard that the bread I bought at the bakery the other day also uses dungeon ingredients."

　Elena's words remind Ray of bread covered with jam and honey with fruit left.

"Now that you mention it," ...as might be expected of the labyrinthine cities, and there are many shops of this kind. It might be interesting to look around the city again later."
"Grull".

　At Elena's remark, Seto exclaims, "Yes!"

"I'd like to reserve some more fruit, if possible. Fortunately, I have this even if it's easy to get worse."

　A ray that puts out a mistling that fits in the right hand from underneath the dragon lobe.
　Then Elena nodded with a smile.

"Slururururururururururururururur

　Seto's throat is hoarse.
　The cry isn't the joyful one just a few seconds ago. They are wary of the people around them.
　At the same time, the sound of wood breaking echoes around, with earth-shaking vibrations.

"...never cyclops?"
"I don't think so, but if so, is there any problem?"
"No, not at all,"

　While interacting with Elena, who draws a connecting sword, Ray pulls the death size out of the mistling.
　Seth, too, was ready and waiting to launch an attack at any time, and it was the Cyclops... who appeared before long.
　In a nutshell, a huge red crab about three meters tall would be the most accurate.
　Of course, as long as it's a monster, there are many differences from ordinary crabs. There were four scissors, two on the left and two on the left, and there were also mouths and tails with sharp tusks.
　Its tail, in particular, is wrapped in the same crust that covers the body, and it looks more like an articulated weapon, such as a trilogyx or pentargyx, than a tail.
　No, in fact, they use it that way.
　Even now, while looking at the lays who appeared in front of us while folding the trees, the scissors are shaking like they are aiming for a chance to shake down their tails.
　Looking at such crabs, Ray asks Elena.

"Did you hear that monster from Pleiades before? Was it Earth Club?"
"Oh, it's a crab monster living in the desert. Rank C. You're in the middle of nowhere around here. ...but I heard it was about two meters in size. It was a little unexpected that there was such a big one."

　Elena muttered, but on the contrary Ray looked at the huge crab in front of him with a happy expression.

"Personally, I prefer shrimps to crabs, but it's not that I don't like crabs."
"Grull?"

　A set that screams at Ray like, "Is it delicious?"

"Oh, crabs are crabs and they taste good. The crab meat is the best. --I prefer shrimp."

　Crabs and shrimp are generally more popular in Japan. However, Ray did not dislike crabs, but preferred shrimp with a crispy texture.

"Anyway, if you knock this monster down, there will be crab meat waiting. I'm probably quite stuffed, especially considering the size of those scissors. Seto, will you do your best for a delicious meal.
"Grull!"

　It barks as sharp as Ray's words, and at that moment a shock wave runs from the Earth Club's torso to its stretched eyeballs.While somewhat surprised by Seto's pre-emptive attack with no preliminary action, Ray and Elena immediately attack the huge crab in front of them.

"Hit!"

　The blow followed the magical eye of the shock, but the blow collides with Earthclub's huge right scissors.
　However, in the moment after the movement was at odds with each other, both the scissors and hibikiri were played, and the crust of the scissors was slightly cracked, and hibikiri disappeared at the same time.

"Well, that's hard. Even if you hit level three, you're going to do your best."

　leap backward, throwing up
　It soon became clear why he retreated without pursuing. Earthclub tried to chase his opponent with a crack in his own scissors, but blocked it and attacked him with speed and sharpness as if something were tearing through the sky from the right.
　Its true, whip-shaped point of a connecting sword cuts off several legs under the scissors of the earth club.
　Even with the same crust, the hardness of the scissors used to attack and the feet used to move may have been very different.
　The moment your attack ends in failure, you use the enemy's attention to concentrate your attention on yourself, and Elena makes a successful attack from the side as if to take the opportunity.
　And Elena isn't the only one at Ray's party. Another one...

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Before I knew it, Seto, who had kicked the earth and had moved up into the sky, came down screaming like a spear.
　Its speed, its own weight, and the blow of its forefeet delivered by the effect of the magic item's rigid bracelet, were struck by the attack of the connecting sword against the unbalanced earth club... to prevent it, it shattered the cracked crust of the scissors that had been raised reflexively, and still could not kill its strength, blowing away the earth club that was about 3m tall.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　It blows away from its fangs with an almost impossible cry and hits a few trees, but it still blows away from them without losing its power... it falls into an oasis with a high column of water.
　Armed with weapons, Ray and Elena, and Seto, who is ready to attack again, look wary of the Earthclub's falling oasis.
　However, even after about 30 seconds, the surface of the water was just shaking, and there was no sign of the earth club appearing.

"Did you knock him down?"

　In response to Elena's muttering "unconsciously," Ray, who was listening to it, shook his head without losing his guard.

"No way! You destroyed only one pair of scissors in the previous attack. I also have three other scissors, and it doesn't damage my body. though the blow of Sett was so powerful that the shock of breaking the crust might have reached his body."

　The moment Ray replied so. The water column rises from the oasis again. It's not just once this time. Two, three, four times in a row.
　Two men armed to respond to unexpected scenes, and a set that sinks into attack at any time.
　With the eyes of two people and one of them, the water column is still rising.
　And the next moment There was a column of water that was so different from the column of water that I'd seen before, and something was blown out of the water.
　The object, blown off just over the rays, bounces a few times before it shaves the ground and hits a tree to stop its movement.
　Ray, Elena and Sett had captured the figure in a moment that flew over them.
　Then, he turns his eyes to the existence that stopped moving when he bumped into a tree. That's...

"A crocodile?"

　The long forward mouth, the scales on the body, and the tail on the body. However, the size is not as large as 2 meters, even if you put it from the tip of the mouth to the tip of the tail.
　That was the first word Ray said when he saw the object.
　Of course, as long as it lives in a dungeon, it's not just a crocodile. In fact, the crocodile, whose hands and feet were shaped like fish fins, seemed almost impossible to act on the ground like the crocodile Ray knew.

"Do crocodiles live in hot jungles?"
"Oh, but this crocodile is not an ordinary crocodile, but a monster. It's probably the Bloody Dáil that Pleiades was referring to."
"…I see. He told me to be careful because I would attack someone who was off his guard after drinking water."
"Perhaps. And there are not one or two of them in this oasis."

　Ray turns to the oasis, talking to Elena.
　There a number of water columns still rise, and sometimes the Bloody Dile is blown off and thrown out to the ground.
　Examination of blown-off Bloody Dile reveals that there are large bites on the body, some with severed internal organs on both scales protecting the body, and others with fist-sized holes in the center of the body.

"What shall I do?"
"I don't think Alice. I'll wait here until it comes up because the earth club is damaged by me. "Well, I've got some work to do."

　muttered the corpse of Bloody Dáil. The number is already more than five, and the water column still rises again and is thrown into the air and knocked to the ground.
　Ray touched the corpse for the benefit of the fisherman and stored it in a mistling, or cut it to death when he was alive.
