Field Investigation

(TX's Kamen Rider subtitles have so many mistakes, and they aren't even special-effect subtitles... Terrible.)

"Well... wanting to see them is one thing, but more importantly... Kazimierz has warmer weather, so there are quite a lot of bugs out in the wild."

Bai Ye naturally wasn't referring to Originium Slugs, but small insects like mosquitoes.

Of course, Originium Slugs were also something to watch out for. For example, Acid Originium Slugs could spray acid that would corrode a beautiful girl's clothes. Simply splendid!

Ah, no, damn it!

Ahem...

"Of course, there's bug spray and such..." Texas said as she took a small bottle from her pocket, gave it a shake, then aimed it at Bai Ye.

"Don't move around. I'll spray some on you too."

"Well, that really won't be necessary..." Bai Ye pressed down Texas's hand.

Bai Ye possessed the power of nature. With enough spell slots, he could even fill in as a Druid, and he had an innate affinity with nature.

Under such circumstances, there was naturally no need to worry about mosquitoes and the like.

"Oh, right." Texas suddenly understood. "I almost forgot. You can talk to animals—even communicate with bees..."

Texas had long since stopped finding Bai Ye's various strange and unusual abilities surprising.

Once they were fully prepared, the two headed side by side to the gathering point on the deck.

This was a small-scale operation. There were not many people heading out, and they were not going very far.

There were six members in the squad, making eight with Bai Ye and Texas included. Besides four Operators Bai Ye did not know, there were two he did.

One was practically an acquaintance: Folinic, who had gone to Wolumonde with Texas and Bai Ye last time.

The other was White Owl.
