The Riverhead Lake (
History[]
A vital source of water for the inhabitants of Axel, its water quality over time became unclean, especially after the need for construction work following Megumin's Explosions caused soil erosion into the lake,[1] and accordingly attracted packs of Brutal Alligators into infesting it. The Adventurer Guild had in the past attempted to get adventurers into ridding the lake of the dangerous reptiles, one of the methods being holding a Sports Festival offering a stupendous prize, in which participating adventurers race to the lake and swim from one end to the other while taking out the attacking Brutal Alligators.[2]
The Guild later posted quests to purify the lake so that the Brutal Alligators would leave for good, which saw the lake cleansed of filth and the reptiles after Aqua purified it.[3] As such, subsequent Sports Festivals were changed to simple racing and swimming contests that are judged using the average times of the participating teams.[2] Some hatchlings of Brutal Alligators, however, still remain in the waters that retain holy properties capable of harming undead creatures.[2][4]
The forest close to the lake also became home of a Tranquility Girl, who charmed many adventurers from Axel. Dust's party later accepted a request to bring her fruits to Vanir so he could create a diet snack based on them, and spared her after collecting the fruits. Dust himself though came back afterwards alongside Yunyun because the fruits rotted in the way back to Axel, bringing in tow the Succubi who discovered the that disappearance of the Succubus Cafe's clients was connected to the sinister plant. They ended up fighting the charmed adventurers, before Dust slayed the Tranquility Girl.[5]
