After we discovered about the sea monster, we decided to gather more information regarding this and the place to do is none other than, the Adventurer Guild of the town, Blue Wave Guild.

When we enter the guild, same what we saw outside, it is a bit deserted.

The receptionist saw us and greeted us as we went inside.

"Konnichiwa. How may I help you, young ladies?"

Jasmine, whose role as our spokesperson since last time, approach her. "We are an adventurer from Kamdet Guild. We're just curious about the sea monster, oneesan can you explain more about this to us?"

The receptionist sigh then melancholy looks. "It's been almost a year since the Kraken first attack the fishermen and other vessels. You might know bit about our town and specialty and our town being one of the major port of the kingdom".

We nodded. Yes, there is three major ports in the kingdom's border and this town is one of them. In Valkhyne fief also has one of the major port, the Green Reef Town.

"Since the attack, aside from decreasing of captured fish products, the products that we export, the imported goods can't also enter the town. They stop exchanging products with us because of the danger in our sea area" She sighs, "Our rank A adventurers and above is in their own mission and can't come back for another four to five months so we have no choice but to ask help to other guilds yet they also told us that their rank A adventurer and above either don't want to accept this mission because it is too dangerous for a sea battle or they are on their own mission."

Then she softly smiles at us, "But don't worry about this since you girls can't fight against the Kraken like the adults. Life is more important than anything."

Michelle mumbles. "Not because they can't, it means we can't"

We ignore her as we continue to ask the receptionist that we learned her name is Aiko.

Because of decreasing food stocks in the town, some of the town people are leaving temporarily or permanent. Not only don't they have fresh fish but also import goods (through sea) which mean that the merchants who came through land took the advantage to raise the price especially the fish and other sea foods.

Now, most adventurers from rank C and above also choose to leave the town which is now the result. Sigh.

We take a sit and order some juice as we plan our next moves.

"What should we do now? Kraken is not just some random basic monster that we can defeat like goblins. It is one of the kings in the sea! And with our poor ability, we can't fight it and even approach it" Dianne is obviously frustrated about this quest

"What if we use Aria's power and make an ice to walk on water?" Michelle suggested

"Stupid" Jasmine scoff at her, "Summer is approaching which is technically hot that will easily melt the ice. And Aria is not some sort of God with unlimited mana and besides, she just breakthrough into Yellow Mage. Continuously using her power will only deplete her MP especially we, mage, has a very low stamina. That makes you, Levi, and your suggestion 'stupid'"

"Etto, how about we try to look for some small airship? We cannot fight on sea but we can fight on air" Coleen suggested

"Hmmm... you have a point there, Clay but where we can look for an airship in short time?" Dianne asked.
