Evening .

I headed back to the cottage and saw… .

「P-Princess! Please run away for the time being!」
「No! I can’t run away in this situation Knight Captain!! We need to hold them back here or they’ll head to town!」

It seems there was an uproar .

Dianeia and the Knight Captain were fighting a giant squid tentacle on the beach .

「Y-you son of a——Blade Fire!」

Dianeia created a huge blade of fire in her hands and sent it flying at the tentacle but…

「It resisted it!?」

When the fire blade hit the squid’s tentacle it dissipated .

「Th-this is fire magic resistance!? Why does a random wild animal have this!?」
「P-Princess! My sword is unable to pierce through! It’s physical resistances are too high! Whoaaa!?」

The Knight Captain was swinging around a normal sword which was unable to harm the tentacle . Instead he was hit by the tentacle and knocked away .

「Th-this lake’s creatures are strange!! Hyaa! Stop trying to pull on my swimsuit strings!」

They were playing around with the squid’s tentacle like that…but I don’t understand what the heck is going on .

「Why are the lake creatures attacking? They’re clearly hostile right Sakura?」
「So it appears . Look, the squid’s eyes are burning red…it’s completely out of control . 」
「That’s what I thought . 」

I tried to make sense of things with Sakura .

「Daichi-san!」

Manaril came running out of the cottage towards us .

I could clearly see her impatience .

「Y-you’re alright!?」
「Why wouldn’t I be?」
「A g-gigantic magic mussel at the bottom of the lake caused the huge creatures in the lake to go crazy…they’ve been attacking everyone they see relentlessly!」
「Ohhhhh, so that’s why I came back to this sort of situation . 」

I said as I looked at the giant squid that was still rampaging around .

「Hyaaaa! M-my swimsuit again!? H-hey!! Are you trying to grab me or strip me!?」

Both the Princess and the Knight Captain had lost a lot of their equipment . Soon they’d both be naked .

「This doesn’t look good . 」
「It isn’t good…but this isn’t the worst of it . There are many more creatures attacking the beach near town . 」
「……as Manaril-san said I sense plenty of creatures throughout the area Master . 」

Sakura said as she scanned her eyes along the lake .

It looks like the problem spread through the entire lake .

「Sakursan…has a large perception range… . Anyways, because of that Hesty, Anne, and Ramiyuros headed to the other side of the lake! Many of them went towards the knight training camp near town and they’re doing their best . 」
「I see . Well, I understand that we’ve got quite a bit of trouble…… . but for now I’ll take care of that giant idiot okay?」

I said looking towards the giant squid that Dianeia and the Knight Captain were fighting .

「Eh? Well…sure . It’s already lost its mind and attacks everything but… . its body and magic defenses have been really strengthened you know? Not even fire magic works…」

Well, even I could see that much .

But in all honesty…… . It didn’t matter .

「I wanted to take it easy right up to the end . I guess I’ll just have to take care of the problem quickly . —Sakura we’re going with Vajra . 」
「Alright Master . 」

I let Vajra envelop my body .

Then I dropped Vajra’s wooden bullets into the sand .

「Umm, make it long thin… . change the sand’s hardness…wrap it like this…」

According to my imagination the bullets were transformed .

What I had created was a huge harpoon . Once I finished it I placed it back inside my arm’s launcher .

「Alright, fully reloaded . We can fire anytime Master . 」
「Okay . Let’s aim and… . 」

I aimed Vajra’s arm towards the giant squid . Then…

「Fire」

I muttered as the harpoon with a hardened sand tip flew straight at the squid .

「—–AIEEE!」

It slammed into its body and pierced through it .

Then it continued through the squid and slammed into the water…

—Boom!—

The water exploded up into the air .

The force of the attack had burst the squid open .

「…… . . ahh…it’s been a while since I fired this thing…but that’s some crazy power if I do say so myself . 」
「Yes, as expected of Master! The hardened sand even increased its power!」
「It increased too much…the middle of the squid is practically gone . 」

I felt it was a bit of a waste . If I could adjust the power a bit I’d be able to defeat it without destroying it .

I thought as I patted the launcher on my arm while Manaril timidly approached .

「Un? What’s wrong Manaril?」
「U-umm Daichi-san…when did you start developing this weapon……?」
「Weapon… . . no this is for hunting you see? Look you can see the string attached to it right?」

The truth is that I had crafted this to hunt in the woods . I would fire the spear with a string attached so I could reel them back in .

The destructive power was too great so they didn’t get caught by the spear, but if I adjusted it I believed I could put it into practice soon .

「I-is that so? This is the level of… . hunting goods . 」

Manaril’s face cramped up…but I could understand why . The giant hold in the squid was quite gory after all .

It couldn’t be helped .

「D-Daichi-dono… . . t-thank you . You really helped out . 」

Dianeia had finally escaped from the squid’s tentacles . She was out of breath as she walked over .

She wasn’t wounded, but at some point her swimsuit had been stolen .

She was hiding her chest with her arm .

「Are you okay?」
「Y-yeah, I had some stuff stolen, but I was able to protect what needed protecting . Though it was horribly gross and slimy……」

Dianeia said looking downhearted .

It looks like she took some mental damage instead .

Well as long as she wasn’t injured it was alright .

「Okay then, looks like the commotion has died down here but——Manaril, I want to go take care of the ringleader of this issue . Where is the giant magic mussel?」
「Uh ummm, it’s at the bottom of the lake near the Knights’ training camp…are you going now?」
「Well yeah . I can’t tolerate this much commotion much longer . 」

Our vacation would be over in a day or two .

I wanted to spend my time happily for the last of it .

This noisy and annoying event was unnecessary .

「Yeah, I’m going to stop anything that gets in the way of our quiet vacation . That’s all . 」

I set off for the Knight training camp wearing my wood armor .

「Ahh w-wait! I’m coming too!」
「M-me too!」

The Witch Princess and Water Dragon King trailed after me
