This village was the one who had came up with the marvelous plan to display the various sea creatures in the bazaar. This plan was very successful and for the first few days of the bazaar, their display was one of the shops with the highest traffic.
But after a few days, some of the sea creatures started dying. The villagers had tried their best to provide the creatures with the best possible enviornment. They bought real sea water and even created terrains that the sea lifeforms naturally lived in. But still they were unable to adapt to the new environment.
As the bazaar would continue for a month, they would need to have a continuous supply of living sea creatures for the display. For that reason, almost half of the villagers who had came to the bazaar had to return back to the village to catch more sea creatures. That was the reason why this village named Yumi was short on manpower.
But last night, they received a terrible news. One of their best diver was killed in the sea on the previous day. As for what was responsible for killing him, according to some eye witnesses, it was a large monster. But as with the arrival of the monster, the sea had became even darker than normal, they had no idea what kind of monster it was, how strong it was or what it looked like.
With the sudden appearance of this monster, fishing would became even more dangerous for the villagers of the Yumi village. That was the reason why everyone's mood was very down. And the anxiety that the people here were feeling was even greater as they were far away from their home. Some of the villagers were even planning to return back to the villagers and give up on attending the last few days of the bazaar.
Elena was also troubled after listening to the situation. After thinking about this a little, she asked a question.
"Master Paras, is there anyone in your village who could take care of that new monster ?"
Hearing the question, the master chef Paras frowned a little and said in a worry tone.
"That depends on the the strength of the monster. I'm a B rank powerhouse and the village head is also B rank in strength. There is another person in the village who is also a B rank powerhouse but I'm not sure if that person will be willing to help or not. But even with that person's help, we will be powerless if the monster's is above level 250."
Hearing this, Elena made a suggestion to Paras.
"In that case, how about I go and slay the monster and in exchange, the Yumi village will give me tasty seafood."
Hearing the proposal, Paras looked at Elena for some time and said in a grave tone -
"Miss, I can feel that you're quite a powerful person but are you sure ? We have no idea how strong that monster actually is ? There is a slight possibility that it might even be a S rank monster."
Hearing the grave voice, Elena smiled slightly and flashed Paras her S rank adventurer guild card. Seeing this, Paras was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly his face beamed in joy. For demons who worshipped strength, meeting a S ranker was a very fortunate thing. So Paras started feeling extremely honoured that his cooking was enjoyed by a S rank powerhouse.
He immediately called a meeting and as soon as the other people of the Yumi village heard that Elena was a S ranker, they immediately became happy and excited. After learning that Elena was willing for help them out for just some good seafood, they jumped in joy and immediately agreed.
Elena was still planning to attend the last day of the bazaar. According to her calculation, with her using teleportation, the whole process of slaying the sea monster should not take too much time. So as soon as she got the approval of the Yumi village people, she immediately left.
...
Reaching the Yumi village was simple. After she was told about the location of the village, she very easily managed to find it. The village from the distance looked extreme beautiful with its straw huts and the amazing sea just beside it. Elena scanned the area and immediately found that in a one part of the sea quite close to gnd shore, a very powerful presence was resting. Elena was actually a bit surprised by the strength of this presence.
As she had heard that only one diver had died and rest had managed to return safely, she was expecting the monster to be at most an A rank one. But to her surprise, the true power level of this monster turned out to be 342. That was extremely high. Even among S rank monsters, it was among the strongest. And by how close this monster was from the village, if it wanted, destroying the whole village and killing everyone inside would only take one strike from it.
At first, Elena wanted to meet with the village head first before going to fight the monster. But after seeing how insanely strong this monster was, she first decided to confront the monster. So Elena disappeared from her spot and appeared in the middle of the sea.
As Elena did not try to hide her presence at all, the S rank monster sensed her presence immediately. Feeling her presence, it opened it's large eyes and looked at Elena.
This monster turned out to be a large whale. But unlike a regular whale, it had seven large eyes and extremely large side fins. With how sturdy and powerful it looked, Elena compared this whale to a submarine in her mind.
Elena used analyse on the monster and was surprised to found the reason why it was here. It turned out that someone had stolen it's eggs and it could sense the presence of the eggs from the village. And as for the person it had killed, that person had the presence of the eggs on him.
This monster was actually not a regular monster but was someone who was blessed by the divine. One of the low gods had given it a blessing and the duty to roam the sea. So as it had the duty to always roam the sea and it was unable to stay in one area. That was why even when it was unwilling, it had to leave the eggs alone for some time and was unable to bring it with her. Then when she returned back from the roaming, she found that all the eggs had disappeared and marks of human activities were all around the area where the eggs were hidden.
After understanding the situation Elena told the monster that she would bring her eggs back. After learning about her situation, Elena was not planning to fight the whale anymore. She also wanted to reunite the mother with her eggs. But at the same time, she was also not blaming the demons as taking the eggs when they were just lying around was a very common thing to do for divers and they did not have any malicious intention behind what they did.
After reassuring the mother whale witn her words, Elena teleported away from the sea.
