A Private Family Reunion

After completing our survey trip around the enormous lake, we returned safely to Sakura.

The number of people working on development had increased, making the village livelier and giving it the feeling that it was about to grow larger.

We needed to establish industries quickly for that very reason—but for the time being, the construction boom and its public works projects were providing enough jobs.

Fishing on the lake would probably become one of our important industries too, but we had discovered that a monster called a kraken lived there.

To fish the lake, we would have to do something about that thing.

The road ahead was long and seemingly endless, but we had to deal with our problems one at a time.

The kraken attacked by using its long tentacles to drag prey underwater.

Underwater, even Anemone's Explosion magic couldn't be used.

I experimented and found that it could be used on the surface, but magic couldn't be activated underwater.

When it came to underwater attacks... a depth charge was the obvious answer...
