The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

From where?

"Down there!" Ary shouts and thrusts out his spear.

The magic element on the tip of the spear extends smoothly.

Just at the tip of the spear, the ground rises up. The sharply extended magic element pierces into the rising soil.

"It's hard! I got him just in time. The enemy is a mole," says Ary.

The ground has stopped rising.

Ary, who had easily taken out the armored salmon, was saying he was just in time. I decide to raise my alert level.

"Sailuke, stay high!" And I tell them to take shelter in the sky.

"Two more are coming. Left front, please! And Ary.

The ground rises in two places on either side. Ary launches his spear.

Hippopo, left! Please!"

The rise in the ground cracks, and a monster jumps out. It is a mixture of several kinds of creatures based on a mole. It looks like a mole.

"Bumo!"

Hippopo's stomping attack seems to have caught the tip of the mole's nose.

However, it is evaded by MoleModoki, although it is grazed by it. The timing of the attack was delayed so as not to interfere with the attack of Arri, who is riding on top of the mole.

The mole quickly attaches itself to Hippopo's leg and climbs up. It seems to have insect legs growing out of its abdomen. It is fast.

I hastily took out my scroll.

A white shadow passed in front of me.

"Sailuke!

The Sailuke, which was supposed to be above us, swooped down and swung its sharp claws.

The mole-like creature attached to Hippopo's leg is instantly torn apart.

"Amazing! Is this a dragon? ......" I exclaim in admiration.

Sailuke returns to the sky with ease.

"Thank you, Sailuke!"

"Cue-ooo!"

One after another, the ground rises and mole moles appear. However, with Sailuke's support from the sky, all of them are repelled without any difficulty.

The future vision would have ended with the words, "It's all going to be all right now. Ahri announces the end of the attack.

"Hmmm... Thank you, Ary. Hippopo and Sailoruk thank everyone for their hard work.

Hippopo responds with a wagging tail. Sailuke also lands on the ground and purrs.

Hippopo and Sailuke approach one of the mole moccasins that Ary has killed.

Hippopo and Sailuke bring their snout close to the mole, and Bumo Bumo and Sailuke look as if they are discussing something with each other.

Ary looks at them curiously, "Is there something wrong?

I put on the purified gloves for collecting the body just in case, and observe the dead mole as I unfold the scroll of transcription.

"Thanks, it's a chimera-type monster. A mole, a rat, and a centipede. And is that a ...... mushroom in the middle of the abdomen? It looks like a monster with four species mixed in. You don't see many of those around here."

"Yes, I have never seen a monster with four species in it.

"It looks like a new species. So what's your interest in Hippopo and Sailorfish," I ask.

Hippopotamus shakes his head as if he hates .......

"Hmmm. Hippopo seems to feel something like disgust. From what I've seen in the scrolling transcription, it doesn't seem to be poisonous or anything.

I gently place the mole-modo on the ground.

"Should I stop collecting materials too?"

"Bumoh ......," said the voice of Hippopo, unsure of himself.

Hippopotamuses are not so sure, but let's burn it just in case. Can you spare some time?

"Yes, I can help you," said Ary.

I decline the offer, preferring not to touch the unprotected object. I put a small amount of potion on the limbs of Hippopo and Seyrukh first, just to be safe.

After I have done that, I gather up all the mole carcasses, place them in the hole Hippopo has dug for me, and light it on fire.

A blazing fire breaks out.

In the flames, the mushrooms that had fallen from the abdomens of the dead mole seemed to me to move for a moment just before they burst into flames.
