Manga Born to Be King

　　Only Ais and a few others were distracted by the surrounding landscape.Even among the members present, most of them, like Tiona and the others, felt nostalgia for this place.

　　"This giant black fish is so big! There are also giant black fish sold in the city, but this is the first time I have seen such a big one!"

　　"The scales are as developed as the monsters..."

　　Tiona was very excited when she saw the big fish lying firmly on the stall.This giant black fish is definitely no more than one meter in length.

　　Lefia is right, this fish has twisted, sturdy scales that are often mistaken for monsters.It is generally believed that they evolved into this form, all to protect themselves from monsters.In addition to giant black fish, there are shrimps and crabs, etc. The live and fresh seafood unique to Hong Kong is sold on the beach.

　　The streets, lined with stone buildings, are prosperous because of foreign crowds, merchants and fishermen.

　　Along the road are hawkers who sell rare handicrafts with carpets, tents and huts filled with freshly caught seafood such as fish or conch, and there are many voices asking for bargaining as if they were talking about business.If you only look at this bustling street, it even looks a bit like an exotic market, but many people with tanned skin such as fishermen, as well as the fragrance of the sea breeze, tell people that this is a seaside city.

　　"Lefiya also came to Orari by crossing the sea, right?"

　　"Yes, when I was a student, I often went to this port with my friends to relax."

　　"Then do you know where the food is delicious? Will you take us there later!"

　　Lefiya was panicked by Tiona's embrace, but she seemed to be excited too.So do other team members.Centered on the girl group members, everyone's cheeks were flushed, and they couldn't help but look around as they walked.

　　Among them, Ais put her hand on her chest.

　　(I don't remember this lake, nor a town like this...)

　　The memory of fighting monsters from morning to night was corroded by the backsplash of blood, and Ais was not sure if she had ever been to this port.She even felt as if she had been in the dungeon all the time, in the land of Orari.

　　(However, I seem to know the scent.)

　　However, the unique smell of the sea breeze touched the depths of Ais' memory.This damp wind will not blow to Orari, who is isolated by the huge city wall.

　　A brackish lake where fresh water and sea water are mixed, the smell is much milder than that of the ocean, and it hugs Ais tenderly.The scent of the breeze caressing her blond hair made Ace narrow her eyes.

　　"What's the matter, Ace? You seem very happy, don't you feel excited too?"

　　"Rivelia, have you been to this town?"

　　The elf royal family saw through the expression of Sword Princess that others would not pay attention to, and Ais asked her back.In response to her question, Riveria said this, and raised her head.

　　"I've been here before entering Orari, and I've been here a few times since, but not many. It seems that many people living in the forest are not used to the fragrance of this sea breeze... But I like it very much. When I see It was quite touching when there was this azure blue view that the unfree village did not have."

　　Looking at the sea that was vaguely visible in front of the exit of the brackish lake in the distance, Riveria smiled.

　　Just as Finn hopes to revive the villains, Ais heard that Riveria left the royal village to see a world she had never seen before.

　　It is said that when she first met Finn and others, according to her own statement, she was "forced to sign a demon's contract", and she was literally pulled into Loki's family, and there was not a day when she didn't yell at each other.Seriously speaking, she just wanted to travel around, and had no intention of coming to Orari at all.

　　And even Riviria like this said that on the way to O'Larry, seeing all kinds of scenery in the world shocked her heart again and again.Her spirit of inquiry in pursuit of new discoveries and unknowns, she once discovered her aptitude as an adventurer, is now a part of the labyrinth city.But Riveria also told Ace what she had in her heart, saying that one day she wanted to leave Orari and travel the world again.

　　Ais suddenly began to think about what she would be doing when she left.

　　Even though she understood that it was impossible, Ais couldn't help but imagine that she might leave with Riveria at that time...like a child who couldn't be separated from her mother, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

　　"Okay, everyone, don't look around, go ahead! The sea... No, the big lake is calling us!"

　　"What are you talking about..."

　　Loki, who was the loudest among Ais and the others, took the lead, and Tione was annoyed. .

Chapter 400

　　Looking at the back of the Lord God walking down the street while humming a song, Ais recalled how she came here—what happened last night.

　　"Tiona, do you know how the aquatic monster got to the ground?"

　　In response to Finn's smiling question, Tiona put her finger on her chin.

　　"Well, I think about it... climbed up from under the Tower of Babel?"

　　"How can fish walk, idiot Tiona-."

　　After the Amazon sisters came to play stupid and complain for a while, Riveria explained: "The entrance to the dungeon is only the big hole directly under the Tower of Babel... It is generally believed, but strictly speaking it is not. In this Euler Outside Rei, there is a path for aquatic monsters to pass, and an exit connecting to the water's edge."

　　"That is, Hong Kong (Meilun)..."

　　Following what Riveria said, Ais gave the answer.

　　"In a large brackish lake just one step away from the city, there is a cave that connects to the lower level. It is from there that the fish-shaped monsters landed on the ground. It is said that people discovered the existence of the cave after the arrival of the gods. "

　　"The cave at the bottom of the lake was completely blocked fifteen years ago by the factions of the male god (Zeus) and the goddess (Hera) with the assistance of the Poseidon family. The monsters in such a dungeon will never appear again... Originally That's how it should be."

　　However, the secret activities of weirdos and the remnants of the dark faction at this time suggest that there are other entrances and exits to the dungeon besides the Tower of Babel.

　　Perhaps the clogged cave at the bottom of the lake opened again, allowing colorful monsters such as piranhas to be transported out of the brackish lake... This possibility cannot be ignored.

　　After Finn finished speaking, he glanced at Loki with those blue eyes.

　　"Indeed, it is necessary to investigate, but..."

　　"I don't think it's possible, look at those guys on the 24th floor."

　　Riveria closed her eyes and murmured, and Burt agreed.

　　Ais and Lefia, who were seated next to each other, exchanged glances, and also remembered the incident on the 24th floor grain depot that Burt had mentioned.The remnants of the dark faction keep most piranhas in black cages.It is possible for them to go to the lower level from there, move to the water's edge of the dungeon and release the monsters, but...

　　"Well, I see what you're talking about. But, according to Dionysus, it looks like someone has seen a monster near Melon that he's never seen before. It's said to be a disgusting-looking snake, a long, yellowish-looking snake. Green monster."

　　Hearing the information provided by Dionysus, Ais and the others all changed their faces.Disgusting snakes, long and large, yellow-green... These all fit the characteristics of a piranha monster.

　　Under the eyes of the team members, Finn said, "Since there is suspicious information, we can only investigate. And maybe there will be clues there."

　　The opinion of the head of the group was unanimously supported by all present.In order to investigate, the Loki family decided to go to the port city of Meren.

　　"But, you need the guild's permission to leave the city, right? It's a bunch of troublesome procedures. At least it's impossible to leave tomorrow."

　　Oralie—in this case, it’s a guild, and what I’m most afraid of is the outflow of urban combat power, led by first-tier adventurers.Except for some exceptions, no one can freely enter and leave the city, and the family must go through complicated procedures in order to obtain permission to go out.Sometimes it even takes days.

　　The thought of asking the guild to issue a license made Tione tired, and when she was supporting her cheek with her hand——

　　"Don't worry. I've got the guild's permission."

　　Loki said lightly.

　　"No way?"

　　"Really, really. I stayed at the window for a long time, asking the staff to hand over the application documents directly to the Lord God (Uranus). On the document, I wrote in a secret code (sacred text) that I will help you investigate the piranha. Don't get in my way, it'll be over in three or two."

　　Maybe it was because he thought that making a stumbling block would lead to unnecessary suspicion, or he wanted to use the Loki Familia to solve the case related to the piranha. In short, the guild master agreed to let it go.Even Finn couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Loki shaking the scroll bearing the seal of the governing body.

　　"Today you came out of the headquarters with us, it turned out to be to ask for a permit..."

　　"But, but the hands and feet are too fast..."

　　"A little suspicious?"

　　"Very suspicious..."

　　The girls sitting at the same table had an ominous feeling.Even the other members of the group, who had been trained by the Lord God's ground-breaking actions, also raised their guard. At this time, Loki showed a full smile.

　　"That's the way it is, so Finn, you boys, are watching the house in the city?"

　　"what?"

　　"I'm going to spend one night with Ais Meimei and the other sister groups in Mellen!"

　　Ignoring the loud protests of the male members led by Bert, Loki proudly announced this.

　　"Hey! What's going on? Tell me!"

　　"Meren has to go, but I can't help but leave half of them in the city. I don't know what will happen. And I have already promised the guild that about half of the family members will be kept as insurance."

　　"I'm asking you! Why only women can go!"

　　Loki, who continued to explain things on his own, made Bert furious, and Raul and others tried their best to stop him.Finn and other leaders groaned, and the female members only felt bored.

　　Ais and the others looked at each other with indescribable expressions, and under the personal opinion of the Lord God, the female-only Merron investigation was finalized.

　　"It's really just us..."

　　"a ha ha ha……"

　　Tione grumbled in the lively streets of Melon, and Lefia let out a dry smile.She was right, the Loki Familia who came to the port were only female members.

　　The beautiful elves and cat people, the pitiful humans, and the goddess who are lustful and feminine are attracted, and the proud adventurers have attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.In particular, Ais and Riveria, whose beauty can be compared to goddesses, are more attractive to men.

　　"Okay, I think he should be at the port."

　　Loki strode down the street without saying where he was going, and didn't need Ais and the others to help him, carrying a large backpack.What was in the stuffed backpack seemed to be a secret.

...... 0

　　Letting his relatives watch suspiciously, Loki finally walked out of the crowd and stepped into the port.

　　"Wow! It's still just as powerful!"

　　Seeing the view of the port up close, Lefia cheered.Handkerchiefs with hand towels tied to their heads, and well-liked sailors walking around, the harbour is large and disorganized, and there are countless ships at anchor.

　　The pure white sails swayed in the wind under the blue sky.Sailboats of all sizes were anchored at the pier, too many to count.Among them, the merchant ships that were so big that they needed to look up were even more shocking, and many members of the group were taken away.Ace is one of them.

　　"Ais, are you dumbfounded?"

　　"Well, that's awesome."

　　Ais' eyes were drawn to the large ship that was about to leave the port.

　　The arc-shaped port along the shape of the brackish lake is no less lively than Euleri.Strong sailors unloaded their cargo from the ship, and the carriages with barrels or crates on the loading platform ran for nowhere.The ship that looks like a passenger ship, from the well-dressed elves to the orcs who look like passengers, many demihumans disembarked from the deck through the wooden bridge.

　　The view of Lake Rolog spread out in front of the mouth is magnificent.The huge brackish lake could not see the other side, and the hazy horizon under the white clouds was like the sea.The lake water reflected the sunlight shining on the water surface, emitting a blue wave the same color as Lefia's eyes.

　　The port breeze that brings the fragrance of the sea tide, the chirping of water birds echoing around, and the noise of sailors different from adventurers, even if you close your eyes, you can feel the boundary between water and land.This scene is different from the discovery of the dungeon or the encounter with the unknown, but it is so peaceful that Ais forgets words..

Chapter 401

　　Under the money offensive, it was easy to find six rooms in a hotel in Melen.

　　"I really don't treat money like money..."

　　Lily, who is more sensitive to money, twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling a little distressed.
