My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~

Chapter 225.5: —Side Dragon King— Discovered Cause, Begin Coping

Hesty returned from fishing along with Manaril and sat at the kitchen table eating a sandwich.

「Daichi-san made this sandwich….it’s pretty tasty right Hesty?」

「n, it’s the first time I tasted a sliver guard fry, like this, feels like I’ll be able, to eat a lot.」

「Ahaha, well it usually isn’t something that people can eat. It’s valuable and has a tough outer layer. Being able to prepare it quickly and efficiently is essential.」

Over in the kitchen, Daichi was in the process of preparing the fish.

He was skilled enough at removing the scales from them that the Knight Captain, who had come over to visit, was surprised.

「That’s a silver guard right? The one with scales as hard as metal?」

「n, that’s right. The knife’s hardness is part of it, but the ability to overcome and destroy the scales’ magical, protection makes it easy.」

Hesty had done a little investigating into the Silver Guards’ characteristics.

She had increased her knowledge about their scales.

In truth not even a simple knife imbued with magic would be able to pierce through those scales.

Even a dragon knife wouldn’t be able to easily pierce it.

「…..the living things in this lake had to increase their strength to survive Katarakta. They had to increase their magic defense as well. Otherwise they’d be dead.」

「Now, they no longer need that. However, before him it doesn’t seem to, make any, difference.」

「I guess you’re right. Ahh….you can see the magic defenses coming undone as Daichi-san touches them.」

「n. —Ah speaking of Katarakta….how did the investigation of the lake go?」

Hesty asked. Manaril swallowed her food and answered.

「Well about that…I found out why giant creatures are developing in the lake.」

Hesty couldn’t help but be a bit confused at that.

「Another cause? It wasn’t just, Katarakta leaving that caused it?」

「Yes of course, the great abundance of magic power in the lake is a combination of Katarakta disappearing, Daichi-san coming here, and various other factors. But the present state of affairs seems to have been caused by a gigantic magic stone being exposed on the bottom of the lake and leaking magic power.」

Manaril grabbed another sandwich as she cast her glance out the window towards the center of the lake.

Hesty followed her gaze and focused her mind on that location.

「Certainly, I do feel magic power flowing from there, but it’s hard to sense any kind, of leakage.」

「Well in the first place this lake was a sealing place for Katarakta. It was already filled to the brim with magic power.」

「…..I see. So, what should we, do?」

The abnormal growth of the creatures here was unusual, but all in all it was a natural phenomenon.

As long as the natural order didn’t collapse there wasn’t a real need to interfere, Hesty thought and said as much. Manaril smiled wryly.

「Well, I guess so. Even the Knights over there just said {it makes the training more exciting!}」

「They feel like that…」

「Yeah. I suppose since humans can deal with it then the balance isn’t crumbling as of yet. It might be alright to just leave it alone…….any sudden changes could be dangerous. It’s at a level where there’s no real issues yet.」

「n, I agree.」

「So, I’ll just go underwater and use my songs to suppress it some. With that the changes should slow down.」

In order to protect the lake they should manage what they can control first.

It was the same as when Katarakta was sealed here.

「n, some minor adjustments, should be fine. Does it seem doable, with just a song?」

「Yes, I believe my songs will be able to produce some effect. As long as I treat it as I did with Katarakta then I should be able to handle it…….even if I’m attacked by some of the creatures I should be alright.」

Manaril’s physical strength might be fairly weak, but she was a Dragon King after all.

She had enough power not to lose to any of those underwater creatures.

Hesty could trust in that.

「Got it. Do you, need me to help with, anything?」

「Fufu, I’m happy you offered. But there’s nothing much. I wouldn’t want to ruin everyone’s fun with this little matter so I’ll just do as I can. You can have fun as well Hesty.」

「Okay. Got it.」

Hesty nodded as Manaril finished off her last sandwich.

「Fuu, thanks for the food…..alright I’ll be heading off to work so I can get my appetite ready for the delicious breakfast Daichi-san and Sakura-san are making tomorrow.」

「n, take care. If there’s any issues just come back and tell us.」

「Fufu, I understand. As long as there’s no issues I don’t plan to return until late.」

Manaril said and once again dove into the lake.
