In the afternoon after training in the middle of the river where the water flowed clear I collected some harmis from the bottom.
Harmis is the name of a snail from this world its size is not much different from shellfish in general just that they have a green shell that is difficult to find when fused with moss.
I had gathered a bucket full while the girls just kept quiet under the tree while gluing the chunks of ice made from Estelle's magic.
"It's so safe."
They've been training hard so let me make dinner for us, the meat menu we used to eat, now let's make something that is rarely processed by many people.
I put each harmis in a pot with boiling water, so that it tastes good I put some spices that are quite familiar from my world.
I get some crabs too, so it's easier to process it I just put it in a pot, combine it with a small fish and some shrimp as well.
It really looks like a fancy food that is hard to get in the wild.
The smell drew the three to get closer.
"The smell is fragrant."
"I can't wait to try it."
"Varlia your saliva."
"I can't help myself."
"I made it a lot so don't hesitate to add."
"Good "
I give soup to each person, before this food runs out they will never stop to add.
"Sonly, I'm so full."
"Your stomach is so big now."
"Tomorrow morning will return to normal koq."
What your metabolism is actually like, when I think about it a scream is heard from the direction of the forest, it's night time so it's strange that many villagers flock to the forest with torches in their hands.
Realizing our whereabouts they walked over.
"I'm sorry, kids, did you see a kid coming?'
The kid means me.
I just have to answer it.
"No, we've been here by day but no one but you came here."
"so."
"Did something happen?"
"We're adventurers we'll help."
"Thank you very much."
Estelle and I took a different path to the others, using only the torch in our hands we started down the bushes.
Estelle had a bad thought in her head.
"Could those kids be kidnapped by monsters? Or maybe Lolicon, when they're so young to accept something like that."
I really can't stand to hear it.
We found a small cave that was quite suspicious, there were small footprints around it which made me have to check.
Every step of the way we followed, it was not too much if they were eaten by monsters or so on but what I see now are five children who look healthy and just sit on the edge of the bonfire.
"You guys all right?"
Somehow they all ran towards us as if they were scared.
"Sister."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know but there's a man trying to kill us, our friends have."
"Man?"
"He must be a monster?" cut off Estelle who got no reply.
They were too scared to explain so let's meet the others first, we all went back to where we had been and saw Varlia and Mamia putting on gloomy faces near a corpse covered only in cloth.
They're children's corpses.
Some of the residents who saw me coming with their children embraced them strongly.
"Dad, mother."
"You guys, thank goodness."
There are still many children who are not saved.
"Lion, it looks like you should see this" Varlia said.
I opened the cloth and saw that the blood from the corpse had been sucked dry.
"It."
"In my kingdom there is a legend of the dracula, he is a creature that sucks the blood of his victims dry, I did not expect that it really existed."
