After breakfast I left the house .
It was still dark outside and there was a faint mist too, so it was a little hard to see .
Still, it wasn’t as if I couldn’t see the path at all, and I’ve already been told the way beforehand .
And besides, Kai-san and Kei-san are both with me, so there’s no way I could get lost .
I sway my arms, raise my legs up high, and make sure to keep myself warm as I slowly make my way toward my destination .
By the way, the dad finished eating sooner than anyone else and was the first to leave .
“Hey . ” [Kai]
“Usu . ” [Kei]
“Good morning . ” [Ryouma]
As we approached the lake, more and more people about to work appeared .
Before long we arrived at our destination, the beach .
“Ohh…” [Ryouma]
At the beach were hundreds of strong muscular men . They had split into two groups and were eagerly watching the lake .
Near those two groups were fire baskets that seemed like they were meant to serve in place of a lighthouse .
There was also boatlight over the lake . Several small lights could be seen in a line .
There were also camp fires and piles of firewood on the beach . There were about 8 of them .
People could be seen waiting by those with a spear, no, a harpoon at hand .
The burning flames reflected upon the dim lake and the contour of the light blurred by the mist painted a dreamlike image .
The boats communicated with each other using flutes and drums . The whole thing looked like a festival of sort .
“Ryouma, over here . Let’s go . ” [Kai]
“Yes!” [Ryouma]
It’s beautiful, but I don’t have the time to gaze at the view .
I need to greet the people organizing the adventurers and report my arrival, then I need to rendezvous with the people from the Wharf of Shikumu .
Apparently, the Mud Salamander subjugation is done in teams, so I’ll have to team up with them .
“Good morning!” [Ryouma]
“Good morning . ” [Shin]
“Oh . You sure are lively so early in the morning . ” [Sein]
“Let’s get along…” [Peiron]
Shin-san, Sein-san, Peiron-san had already arrived ahead of time, so with our arrival, that makes all of us .
There was still some time until the hunt would begin .
“By the way, if you guys don’t mind, can you teach me a little about how to hunt the mud salamanders?” [Ryouma]
I’ve studied the basics and I also learned about the subjugation methods from the senpai adventurers yesterday, but there are experienced people here, so if they know something useful, it would be best to know .
