She pressed me to fight the Komoda dragon lizard, and I didn't hesitate, and I had a great deal of distrust of her at the time...... Luz noticed it, so for my sake, she chose to give the task to Elaine, didn't she?

There was nothing wrong with Luz handing over the task to Elaine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Elaine was human, but I always found him a little weird, not because of the hatred he had for us beasts, but more concretely. I remember Luz often whispering in my ear as she brought up Elaine's topic, revealing something special about him.

Elaine was a young teenager with a gender-neutral face facing a mutant saber-toothed shark that swooped towards the sand boat. He faced the huge body of the saber-toothed shark, his eyes did not dare to be afraid, and he aimed wide at the mouth of the opponent's jaw that had expanded up and down to the limit.

Elaine was wearing the same black and white suit as the Bebel Gentlemen, and her left hand was raised forward, and the special place hidden in his cuff was revealed in the sunlight, but in the next second, it disappeared into the mouth of the saber-toothed shark.

I didn't understand the intent of Elaine's approach, the saber-toothed shark still seemed unaffected, leaping at a constant speed, we were in the predetermined landing spot, and the situation was very dangerous. Although the lizard dragged the sand boat to avoid the direct attack afterwards, and rescued us once again, even so, Elaine's approach seems to be a futile day job for now.

Perhaps.......

I felt that the saber-toothed shark was doubly furious after eating that special thing. But its multiplied frenzied attack disappeared after another reincarnation, because the huge body did not obey the call, and for some reason it suddenly became unable to sneak anymore, and its belly rolled over and ran aground in the desert land.

Luz instructed the lizard to get close to the mutant sabertooth shark, and when I looked closer, I noticed that the sabertooth shark was very unusual. Its breath was panting heavily, and its huge body constricted irregularly, and then the time flowing through its body silently stopped, and its breath was broken.

And I looked up around the rocky pan where its companions had gathered, and the ordinary saber-toothed sharks, sensing the fall of their leader, were afraid of us or reluctantly gave up the hunt and swam away into the desert.

And then, I understood something.

That's what Elaine threw into the mouth of the mutant saber-toothed shark.

Luz explained that it was actually the seed of the beast, a beast of the bract plant type. The seed can only be eaten by certain beasts, and if ordinary beasts eat only a small amount, they will be emotional at best, but if they exceed a little baseline, they are like drugs, and excessive intake can cause problems with the heart's workload and cause death from shock.

Luz was very complacent in explaining these things, perhaps because she was the one who discovered that the seed had that effect. Luz is an Empire-recognized A-class capable person who specializes in the development of medicines. She grinds the seed called "Black Rice" to refine it, and the extracted parts are gathered to form a special medicine called "Black Rice Liquid", which functions similarly to the caffeine used in the past to refresh people.

Later, it was refined and diluted twice to remove the side effects of addiction and made into casino prizes for sale, which gamblers called "black liquor". However, after applying for a legal patent, Luz marked it with a corrected name: black oil. Black Olein is applied to the "human" part when the spirit is not good, and it has a good awakening effect, and the people living in the Venola Empire, which is a major contributor, have indeed improved their productivity and efficiency in long-term work according to the results of its use.

Elaine had an unknown number of black rice seeds hidden in his sleeve, and judging from the smell of my nose, there were other things clinging to his body besides the black rice seeds.

Elaine also seems to be a half-human, half-beast, and the beast gene combined with his body is what Luz said is Beep, and the bract plant that grows black rice seeds seems to be the parasitic plant ...... Beepla's body.

Isn't it hard for Elaine to live with that kind of body? My feet are also connected to the needle wheel beetle that restricts my movements, but in this way, my movements feel a great burden.

Elaine's neutral face and expression are always flat. He drove the lizard in the direction of the rock, and there was nothing unnatural in his appearance, and if he thought so, he hoped that the others would not pity him or treat him leniently because of his painful expression. At the very least, Luz next to him treats him fairly.

Why was he willing to put up with this? Was it Luz's request, or, as I had experienced before, the hatred of the beast, which was driven by that emotion, to choose ...... for some purpose.

"Thank you so much for your rescue. 」

Three men slid down the rock, and they came to our side to talk to Luz.

Luz stepped out of the sandboat, pinching the sides of her skirt and bowing politely in return. Luz switched to a white dress with a shorter skirt, but when traveling in a dusty environment, this outfit was a little obtrusive.

The three men looked back at Luz with the eyes of a novelty.

At this time, a man with a short figure of five walked out, and his attitude and tone of speech were obviously the leader in the group.

"You don't need to say thank you, I'll rescue you purely to get some reward for what you do. 」

"If you want money, of course, no problem. I thought this was happening, so I prepared some in advance, so please take ......it."

"That's not what I want, it's what you loot...... Goods. 」

"We're just ordinary traveling merchants who have been attacked by beasts in the middle of our journey, so how can we be like thieves, huh?"

Luz deliberately picked up the needle beetle that restricted my movements, allowing me to gain space to move. I stood behind Luz and watched her talk to the five short men. Luz was halfway through with him, and for some reason pushed me to the man.

"Miss, do you have any questions with that girl?"

"You don't recognize it, please look at it better. 」
