Refusing to leave things this way, the mercenary made his ways to the docks to ask for information. Much to his annoyance, what the old lady said seemed to be true of every single fisherman in the coast.
”I’m telling you, it is that damned beast in the cove. All of the fish have gone away.”
”I swear I saw it with my own two eyes. It ate all of our prey with a single bite…”
”It’s been days since we last caught a fish. That beast is gonna drive us to bankruptcy”
”I don’t care anymore!! I’ll go and hunt the beast myself. Who’s with me?”
It would seem that a town-wide council of fishermen had formed in one of the unloading platforms. Where once tons after tons of fish were carried off from boats and into the market, not a single fish had passed through the spot for almost a week. All of the fishermen blamed the so-called sea monster for their bad luck fishing. However, this simply made Kenzo all the more frustrated. The idiots were confirming the smug lady’s theory. After all, he had seen her catch an enormous animal just some minutes ago.
However, it was also true that the expedition to hunt the beast was now in full force. Taking a look around, the young Advent World swordsman noticed the war potential of the party. If his experience wasn’t failing him, the group of 20 fishermen would at most be able to complete an equivalent of a B-Rank quest, and with heavy losses at that. He couldn’t simply leave them to their luck now that he saw the passion in their eyes. They were all failures as fishers. They had a strong bond now.
”Leave this to me. Pay me a day’s worth of fishing and I’ll take care of it.”
Some of the fishermen protested, but in the end all of them agreed. Word had gone through the streets about Kenzo being in town. He had defeated the fearsome Barrang a couple of days before after all.
In the end, they let him kill the beast. The fight was done quickly and swiftly. A single strike from Masamune was enough to cut the Kraken’s head. He now needed to take revenge from the old lady. But how?
