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

Chapter 216: Similar Sisters

The evening sun set in the sky as the light reflected off the surface of the water.

Dianeia and I returned to the cottage when…

「Daichi-oniisan! Onee-sama! Help~!!」

Athena was being chased around on the beach by a large white snake.

「…….are you playing tag or something?」

「N-no! It’s a monster! Look over there——!」

Athena pointed at the lake.

There were many strange snakes roiling across the surface of the water.

「Are these sea cucumbers?」

I couldn’t help but say seeing them looking as if their internal organs were coming out of their mouths.

「Hyaaa! G-get away! D-don’t touch me~!」

However they clearly weren’t normal sea cucumbers. They were chasing people around.

In the first place these snake-things couldn’t be sea cucumbers because sea cucumbers didn’t have fangs.

「Dianeia are these also native to the lake?」

I asked Dianeia who looked stunned.

「Y-yes, these are Snake Trepangs. They are abnormally huge….but these are primitive creatures of this lake.」

「Ehh~ But with this many and how large they are…they’d definitely stand out. Where could they have come from?」

「They chased me when I was coming back from the dungeon~! S-stop trying to take my swimsuit—!」

The white snake’s fangs caught on the back of her swimsuit and it was quickly stolen away.

It looked like these sea cucumber snakes could also break through the swimsuits’ magic protection as well.

「Actually…where is Karen?」

「She’s in the dungeon exploring things so I came back alone. Then these things came out——hyaaaa! D-don’t grab there! Nuuu~ it’s so slimyyyyy~~~!!」

This time her swimsuit wasn’t the only thing caught, she got caught as well.

「Yesterday was Dianeia and today it’s Athena…you two siblings are well loved by tentacles.」

「I-it’s not like that! Forget it! We have to do something!」

「Yeah, well they look kind of gross so I don’t want to have to look at them for long.」

These creatures in front of me looked like a mix of sea cucumbers and eels.

Plus from their mouths emerged long white snake-like tentacles.

It was fairly grotesque so I wanted to hurry up and deal with them but…

「Dianeia should I be cleaning up these creatures? They won’t damage the environment or release poison when they die right?」

「N-no there’s no such thing, but what are we to do with these rampaging snake feelers…..」

「n~ for now we’ll stake ‘em down and stop them moving.」

Certainly there were plenty of white tentacles, but they all originated from those eel looking creatures.

I was thinking to handle them like eels.

I created sand golems and wood golems…

「Sand golem stop its movement.」

It moved to obey.

First I’d have my sand golems move close to grasp the wriggling creature.

Since their heads would continue to rampage…

「Wood Golem, drop kick and pierce through the head.」

The wood golem assaulted its head.

It took a running start and leapt into the air….

「— —!」

It’s legs looked like a stake smashing down on the creature’s head. It was cleanly pierced through. The sea cucumber collapsed to the ground.

With that it stopped rampaging about and the tentacles fell limp.

「Oh, it was unexpectedly easy to stop.」

「N-no I don’t think you can evaluate this as easy…. The kick blew a small crater there……」

Even if you say that…the golems did it so it was easy for me. Plus Athena was released from its clutches so it should be alright.

「Uu, thank you Daichi-oniisan~…….I may have lost my swimsuit but at least I didn’t get hurt.」

「Well you’re very welcome.」

Since she was missing pieces of her swimsuit I didn’t think she was perfectly okay…but it was good that she wasn’t injured.

「But still what should we do with these sea cucumbers? Even though they stop moving with a single hole through them…it doesn’t look like it’s dead…….actually are these things even edible Dianeia?」

I asked cause I had nothing to lose, but unexpectedly Dianeia slowly nodded.

「Y-yes. You can, they’re actually quite sought after. They aren’t easy to catch since they live deep in the water so they should be quite high class.」

「Do you know of any recipes?」

「Ummm, broiled in soy sauce is the standard I believe.」

「I see……」

So I was right, these things can be handled like eels.

In all honesty I wasn’t especially into this idea…but they were already here and I’d already caught one.

I thought that I might as well challenge it this once since most of the things I’d tried here were delicious.

And so I decided to bring it back to the cottage to give it a shot.
