Legend

"Hmm... it was quite strong."

Gaga looks satisfied in front of the body of the crab.

No way, I took my attack from the front... and it was a surprise to be imitated like playing it.

But in the sense of surprise, I'm experiencing more surprises than gaga.

That's why we played mock fights with Ray, Elena, Vihera, and so on, and never won.

It is for someone who is overwhelmingly smaller than himself.

Just knowing such a surprise, there was no such thing as a crab catching its attack and stopping moving with a surprise of the magnitude it played.

Great job, Gaga.

My men, Lizard Man, give an exclamation to Gaga, who has his head cut off.

In fact, there aren't many monsters like this in the original world.

It was a great honor for Lizardmen to defeat such a powerful monster on their own - Ray and Seto helped us.

But... some people water such joy.

"You guys! You know what you did! This monster is an unknown monster! It's been transferred from another world, that's what it is! What the hell are you thinking, killing monsters like that?

Once again, the adventurer from Ray's feet... this time, the scholar who was so firmly held back that he couldn't escape, shouted.

It was a voice that really deserved expressions such as anger.

If you're a scholar, it's a monster in a lake that's been transferred from another world, so it's no wonder you're interested.

Ray doesn't say it's bad either.

On the contrary, I even wanted you to look into it more actively.

But... that's only if we don't hurt ourselves and those around this lake.

If you're attacking us, or if you're attacking us with weak monsters, it doesn't make sense, but if you're obviously capable of killing people around here, the story will change.

Even a giant monster would have spoiled it without attacking it.

But that enemy definitely tried to kill... it wasn't just about killing, it was about eating and killing.

As long as there are such monsters, it's only natural that they can't be left alone.

(I mean, it's called a slime, it's called a crab, these monsters are troublesome. Given the size of this lake, it's no wonder there are other monsters like it.)

Whether it's a giant slime that's still burning on a piece of shore, or a crab this time, it just happened to hit Ray when he was there, so I managed.

Regardless of the slime, it is possible that the crabs could have been managed by the Gaga Lizardman.

In any case, there is no doubt that we are in a difficult situation.

"Can you hear me? Ray! Remember! You think you can just do this to me! Let me report this to Miss Dusker!

The scholar screams in frustration that he didn't like Ray ignoring his story.

However, Ray didn't care much about the voice of such scholars, and called out to the adventurers holding the men.

"So, what about these crabs? Do you want to eat? I want poison needles as a material."

"Hmm, I don't know. Whether it can be eaten or not....."

The adventurer is showing some discomfort.

However, there are many adventurers who have eaten fish and monsters caught in the lake before, and if they do, the crab will definitely be delicious.

The basic thing about this world is that the meat is delicious because it has as much magic as a high-ranking monster.

Exceptionally, of course, there are monsters with very good meat, even if they are not so high ranked as oaks, or even high ranked monsters with bad meat... such monsters are really rare.

From that experience, it was obvious that the crab, which would be a high-ranking monster, was also delicious.

In fact, it seemed that Ray had the strength of rank B in the fight.

"Hey! I'm in trouble!"

One of the scholars broke into the conversation between the adventurers.

No, other scholars also showed that they couldn't agree with Ray's words, just like the scholars who first spoke up.

"This monster is a precious alien monster, even if we have no choice but to be safe. If you think about it, let me analyze it here."

Ray is worried about the words.

Normally speaking, it is not strange that these crabs should be claimed by the defeated.

Especially for Ray, the poison needle is obvious, and I want the body of a crab if possible.

What if I hear you eat crabs, huh? I don't think so, but in Japan, anyway, it is a popular ingredient other than crabs.

The lobster is also famous for its ingredients, but it is also classified as a fellow crab, not shrimp.

Ray didn't know so much about the situation, but as far as the crab scissors were concerned, he was definitely packed and would certainly like to eat them.

But at the same time, I want to uncover the secrets of this lake, and above all, I wonder if I can eat this crab.

If this is the flesh of monsters encountered in the Trent Forest, many monsters will be widely known for the information, and if you don't know it, there are ways to find out for yourself and listen to it in the Alliance.

However, since this lake has been transferred from other worlds, naturally we do not know the details of its organism.

Adventurers and lizardmen still eat fish caught near the shore as usual... but it's also an unknown creature, and it's inherently dangerous.

However, do you still think it is okay if it is a fish species? Everyone eats it normally, and there is no fish that actually has poison so far.

But that's only for now.

Not to mention that the crabs Ray defeated this time are not just crabs.

It's an individual who has both a crab and a scorpion element.

As you can see when you look at the poison needle, it is not strange whether it is poisoned or not.

Normally, if we remove the poisonous place, we can eat it.

Specifically, like a fugue.

But the scholars insist that eating it is dangerous because they don't know anything about the ecology around them... Ray makes a compromise.

"Okay. All I need is that poison needle. The body gives up. Is that okay?

"That's right. Is that a compromise?"

Though the scholar is troubled, he says so.

As scholars, we would like to study poison needles ourselves, if possible.

After all, this is the poison needle of a giant monster.

Of course that would be very interesting.

At the same time, however, if you are asked whether to choose the poison needle or the entire other crab, you still have to choose the entire crab.

"And we're not the only ones who fought crabs. Give these crabs some other reward, even if it's not these crabs."

"Of course."

Not only the scholars who were talking to Ray, but other scholars nod to the words.

These are very intelligent people, and most of them have already learned these words.

I could never disdain a friendly opponent.

After all, many scholars are now paying attention to the lake, but if there are other worlds, so are Gaga and Lizardman.

Even so, it was not strange for scholars to try to establish a friendly relationship with Lizardman.

I see. Then I asked for you. "

That said, Ray puts the poison needle a little further away... precisely the tip of the tail containing the poison needle in the mistilling.

Some scholars looked at Ray enviously... while understanding that he was looking at Gaga without any further concern.

Ray-sama

Ray approached Zozo with his dagger in his sheath.

Of course, Zozo was also fighting crabs with Gaga.

Many researchers saw no problem fighting crabs under Gaga's command.

Given the current situation, it was only natural that someone who could command well would do so, and above all, Gaga would have gained strong confidence among the Lizardmen.

But... even though Zozo knew it, he wanted to fight under Ray, if he could.

Ray taps his shoulders and opens his mouth against such a zombie.

"Well done."

It was such a word out of Ray's mouth, but it would be a good reward for Zozo.

"Thank you."

"I can't do that crab for you, but as a token of my gratitude for defeating it, I hope the scholars will give you something later."

It was Ray talking about raising the hurdle naturally, but the unknown monster... it also kept the body of a giant alien monster almost intact - the tail of the poison needle was taken by Ray - and succeeded in getting it.

Given the knowledge gained from analyzing the crabs, it was only natural that the lizards who played a leading role in fighting them should be paid the appropriate rewards.

"Thank you very much. So, why the hell is Ray here today? Perhaps you were aware of the monster's existence?

"Well, don't buy me that far. Whatever it was, it was totally unexpected that the crab appeared from the lake in this situation. It was only by chance that I was able to find it when I came here."

In the first place, the crabs were overwhelmingly defensive and powerful enemies, but without Ray, they could probably have dealt with the adventurers and lizardmans here.

It may have taken the form of repelling rather than defeating, but if we understood that the crabs also lost on the shore, we would not be approaching again.

In that sense, Ray and Seth came here only to say that they were able to defeat the crabs without letting them escape, and that it was only a better result than originally planned.

Really? Still, I'm glad Ray-san came to see me. Are we done with this place called the Magic Forest...?

"Oh, that's all right. I don't know if it was the best for me... but it was not a bad result."

The initial goal, the promotion exam, passed without any problems.

They also have results like defeating a Rank S Monster Crystal Dragon.

In that sense, it was the best result, but if I think about my actions in the Magic Forest again, I think I could defeat monsters more efficiently.

I know that's what I think now.

I know, but it is true that there are still many things I think.

I should have done this at that time, and I should have done that at this time.

It is true that it is now, but there is no doubt that you will think like that.

Nevertheless, I already remember where the Magic Forest is.

If you wait for the egginis to cool down almost... no, it's probably already winter, next spring... and spring will definitely be busy because people will come in all at once because of the construction work, so maybe it'll be around the beginning of the summer.

(Considering it's late summer... about a year later)

When I think about it when I was in Japan, it's quite relaxing, but it's a lot of trouble to work outside in winter.

That being said, I think it would be the best time for Ray to go to the Devil's Forest in the early summer of next year, even in the sense that he still attaches importance to safety.

Of course, that's just what Ray thinks, and I didn't know what the others think.

When Ray made his plans for the early summer of next year, he talked to Zozo and Gaga.
