Chapter 104.2. Overfishing Is A Bad Thing

One holds up a large shield in front of the coconut crab, red-faced and ready to take the attack with all his might. The remaining two use that gap to insert a saw into the boundary between the root of the coconut and the shell, then they cut it into pieces.

The physically strengthened adventurers pull the saw faster than an electric chainsaw and cut the palm tree down.

Once the coconut crab is cut down, the adventurers move away from the coconut crab. The coconut crab stopped moving, wondering what would happen to it now that the palm tree was gone, and then it just died out.

"Oh, heeeh, you can take it down by cutting off the trunk."

Oh, we gawked at the spectacle and exclaimed in admiration. The coconut crab was a coconut, not a crab.

"You have to cut it off at the border between the trunk and the shell. We used to have palm crabs when we were young, too."

"The price of coconuts, crab meat, and magic stones is quite high, and if a party of six people spends from morning till night killing coconut crabs, each person can earn about 30,000 yen a day.

"That's a good time. Usually, it's about 20,000 a day."

When Kongo-oneesan said nostalgically and with a faraway look in her eyes, Tsubame interrupted her. 30,000 yen a day, that's 600,000 yen if you work 20 days. Even 20,000 yen a day is good money. A magician in need should want to become an adventurer. Even at a low level, you can make that much money.

"Those people are three, so they make twice as much?"

"Yes. That party is moving pretty well. If they keep it up, I'm sure they'll be able to raise their ranks and buy magic armor soon."

"Coconut crabs don't move, do they? If you don't get close to them, they don't even show themselves, and they're so abundant that they're not very popular, even though they're a great way to make money."

If you can make that much money, it should be a very popular hunting ground for adventurers, but only a few parties are seen. So I'm happy to earn money almost exclusively, but why?

"Miu-chan and her friends are strong, so they are easy to hunt, but the coconut crabs are a nuisance there. The [Blade Scissors] can pierce the [Magic Barrier], and the [Coconut Seed Bomb] is a pretty powerful bomb."

Smiling, Mashiro tells me with a smile. We have been standing in the strong sunlight for a long time, yet we're not sweating. I'm not even sunburned, so he must be using some magic.

"I see, so you have a better resident request, don't you, onii-sama?"

Yamiyo is convinced as she defeats a new palm crab and pats off the sand on her black hair. I see. And, Yamiyo, isn't Yaten too strong after all?

"But at this rate, I think Tamamo and the others will be around 20,000 yen, right?"

"Yeah, we won't be able to hold the palms soon..."

We have a pile of coconuts on the beach. Nan-chan pointed to the pile of coconuts. We can't hold them anymore. Let's eat them. We can't let the guards carry them, so we'd do it ourselves. I had reached proficiency level 7, so it was time to call it a day.

We've been binge-hunting for almost 5 hours, and it's time for a snack.

"Do you want to go home and have a snack?"

"Yes. I think it's time to call it a night."

"Okay. Let's finish!"

I cackle, hoping to bring home a few souvenirs for my dad and mom, but there's still plenty of MP.

"Well then, I'll attack that coconut crab over there for the last time! I've been training my dagger!"

"Yeah, I'll take care of the follow-up. I'll take it down!"

The fox-kin jumped up and down with a cheerful smile. Yamiyo and the others also readied themselves, saying they understood.

Then I switch to daggers.

I take the bronze dagger from my waist belt and carry mace on my back.

He exhales, squints slightly, and bends to crawl on the ground, transmitting my magical power to the dagger.

[Blade Wind]

With a sharp exhalation, I swing the dagger sideways. It creates a small wind-slash sound, and the thin green blade flies as if it were crawling on the ground.

The wind blade, which flew in a fan shape, passed through the base of the palm tree without resistance and cut down the trunk. With a single blow, Miu finished defeating nearly 6 coconut crabs and sheathed her dagger with a flourish.

She is level 50. She could still defeat a coconut crab even with a weak and useless ranged attack.

But it was too early to be smug. If I let my guard down, the dungeon would come barreling down on me with its malicious fangs.

My feet swayed slightly. The minute sound of moving sand caught my ear, and a giant pair of scissors shot out from under my feet. They're large enough to pinch the entire petite Miu.

The shears begin to close, scattering sand as they blow up.

Even with the [Magic Barrier] in place, Miu inside was easily cut in half.

And that's what would happen with a template.

The smug-looking girl screams and is killed with a cackle. The protagonist, of course, doesn't come to the rescue. She's a mob.

In a cloud of dust, the shears close with a clang, and Yamiyo turns bloodthirsty.

"Mii-sama!"

"Em-chan!"

"Hai!"

I answered the two screaming in a carefree voice. The cloud of sand settles down, the field of vision clears, and everyone sees Miu. She rested her toes on the tips of her scissors and stood there as if nothing happened.

"A surprise attack is useless. Big crab-san."

Miu giggles and switches to her mace, and a roar goes up, the beach rises like a small mountain, and a huge, iron-colored crab appears.

A rare monster. I had over-harvested the same monster.

Lucky me. Just right for the last monster before leaving. I decided to have a crab casserole today.
