I gently approach the white lizard that has gone limp in front of me. I put on a pair of "purified" collecting gloves from my backpack and touch it gently, being careful not to irritate it.
There is no reaction. It does not seem to be dead. I remove the tentacles that are still wrapped around it.
The purple liquid seeping from the tentacles is bounced off the surface of the purified gloves, and drips down from the fingertips.
I put the gloves away and take out the scroll.
"Start the transcription."
I read the information about the lizard copied on the scroll.
"I can't read it very well, because they are different from human beings. Maybe they are in a state of extreme fatigue. Mitochondrial activity is low compared to its maximum, if that's what you mean. ....... Hippopo, please be vigilant," I ask Hippopo.
I take out the medicinal herbs and the ingredients of the lizard I collected the other day, and decide to make the simplest of potions.
─ ─ It's a bit impossible to make the best potion for this lizard's condition. I don't know what the best condition is. In such a case, it's best to make a simple potion.
I take out a few scrolls and quickly make a potion with the ingredients and water from the pond in front of me.
On the way, Hippopo fights off the tentacles that come out again. After taking a bath, Hippopotamus jumps into the pond and runs wild, but without any problems. The dead body of the tentacle that Hippopo had sucked out looked like a catfish. It had a lot of tentacles in its mouth, though.
I finally tried to sprinkle the completed potion on the white lizard.
I crouched down beside the lizard, and Hippopo watched me with a worried look on his face, his legs folded beside me.
"...... you never wake up," I say to Hippopo's face next to mine.
"Bumo bumo ......," says Hippopo.
I scroll through the scroll again, transcribing the white lizard's information.
"Hmmm. The level of mitochondrial activity is clearly improving, though. They are at normal human levels. It's just that the maximum is too high. I don't know..."
Beside me, Hippopo is gently poking the white lizard with his chin as I tilt my head and mutter to myself.
─ ─ Well, it is rare that Hippopo, who is sensitive to hostility and harm, is so open-minded. Is this lizard not just a monster? In any case, it would be meaningless to save them if we leave them here like this.
I look around, thinking. There are obviously a lot of monsters in this wasteland, as it is a water hole in a wasteland.
Besides, there is a possibility that monsters that have been wary of the tentacle catfish and have not approached them may appear in the future.
They won't be able to help us if we leave them alone, you know.
"Hippopo, you want to take her with you?" he says to Hippopo, who is still poking and prodding him.
Hippopo's somewhat happy reply was, "Bumo! I laugh at that and lift up the white lizard.
It somehow manages to fit in my arm.
I climbed on top of Hippopo and left the water spot, saying, "I'm almost there, let's just keep going.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
