Legend

"Long time no see, it is. Dear Ray,"

Though it was an uninterrupted voice, Ray is surprised to see those who uttered the voice.

Because it was Zozo who uttered the word... and Lizardman who was intoxicated by Ray.

Previously, Ray and I exchanged letters rather than words when communicating.

So I didn't think this was how I could interact with you in words.

"Now you can speak the language?

"I will speak your words."

"It's a shame. It's like you can talk, or you can talk."

To some extent, I was able to communicate my intentions in words, but there was something somewhat wrong with whether it was still not complete or something.

Nevertheless, if you think that Ray could barely speak yet when he went to another world to help Anastasia, the progress can be described as astonishing.

Less is more than enough from Ray's point of view.

(Kind of like when I was learning English in school class...... if someone overseas hears Japanese English, is this how it is?

I thought about that a little bit in my conversation with Zozo, Ray, but with all that, I figured if I kept talking without having to be somewhat obnoxious right now, I would get used to nature and have a smoother conversation.

I have also heard Ray several times about things like learning words if you don't like living in a foreign country, even if you can't speak English at all.

I honestly don't know if that's true or not, Ray.

But I guess we just have to assume that it is more true than there are actual examples of that.

... In Ray's case, I didn't think I could do the same.

"Ray."

I was surprised at Zozo's progress, Ray, but Elaine called me by name and I immediately return it to me.

I remembered that I came here because I had some business to attend to.

I'm surprised the words came out of Zozo's mouth rather than soften up that errand...... Still remembering the status quo in Elaine's words, I open my mouth.

"Zozo, I'm sorry, but I'll see you later.... I'm surprised you can speak the language. Good luck with that."

Zozo looks happy with such Ray's words.

I guess I didn't fully understand everything, but I guess I still understood that Ray praised himself.

Leaving such a zozozo on the spot, Ray speaks to an adventurer who was nearby.

"You got a minute? I'd like to talk to you a lot."

The adventurers at the birth tower haven't changed much compared to when Ray was here before.

There are a few faces I don't know, but that would be the new additions sent here.

Essentially, the adventurers who stay in the Tower of Birth as a Lizardman's escort are adventurers recognized by the Alliance as trustworthy and highly capable.

But even though he's a promising adventurer, he can't always camp around the tower of his birth.

Camping life really is because it saves you fatigue.

Once there is a lake nearby, and the fish you can catch there...... basically you can eat it without any problems.

Lakes with many other unknown beings, but some of them were friendly.

For example, there is a lump of light that came from the lake when Ray was here before.

That light, in its various colors, was clearly friendly to the Rays.

Of course, there are many monsters that attack us, so there is nothing biased against either side.

"What?"

To Ray's words, that's what a familiar adventurer returns.

"Weird things lately...... specifically, wasn't there some weird prank or something like that?

I had a desire to talk to Zozo, but as Ray, I needed to hear about the area first.

It's no harder story to play all sorts of pranks if a fairy cares about it than it is adjacent to the Trent Forest.

And it was Ray for once I asked... but I was probably so sure that some kind of prank was being played.

"No? A prank... I don't particularly remember that kind of thing"

That's why it was completely unexpected that the adventurer would have answered Ray's question.

"Huh? Is that true?

As Ray was surprised by the words of the adventurer, so is the adventurer by Ray's words again.

Try being an adventurer and see what you take for granted.

The expression doesn't look like it's hiding something.

At least it didn't seem like Ray was lying about anything when he saw that adventurer's face.

"Hmm, so you're saying nothing's wrong?

"... Yes"

I understood as a matter of course that Elaine was with Ray.

But you didn't think you were going to talk to yourself, and the man snorts back in haste at the words, surprised that he was suddenly called by Elaine.

"When that happens..."

The adventurer's haste doesn't look particularly concerned, and Elaine's gaze is directed at Ray.

Ray naturally understood what Elaine was trying to say.

I mean, fairies haven't come all the way around here.

(But why? The adventurers who work downstairs as escorts and their escorts were feeding on fairy pranks)

Only for a moment, in fact, I wonder if the fairy can come this far.

Even if you say Trent Forest in a bite, its area is vast.

If fairies are moving around in such a vast forest of Trent, it's not surprising that they can't imitate things like going out there.

That's what I thought, but I immediately dismissed the idea.

If Ray knew a fairy, he'd be fine with things like getting out of the Trent Forest if that's what he was doing for a prank.

Still, the fact that this place hasn't been the victim of a prank...

(Possible possibilities include whether you're feeling something on Lizardman's signs, a birthing tower, a lake, or a continually burning slime.... What do you care about a candidate who doesn't seem to like fairies)

The vicinity of the Tower of Birth can be described as a special place in many ways.

Even if the fairy hated something special about it, I was convinced enough by Ray.

At the same time, though, I was equally convinced that a large number of fairies came interested in something of it.

A fairy is moved by curiosity.

In that regard, there would be similarities with Anastasia.

With that in mind, Ray turns his gaze to Anastasia, who is surrounded by many.

Since Whisp connected this world with the one with Centaur, Anastasia and Fana never came back here.

Detecting the moment the world was connected, Ray rode straight to where Whisp was, but it was only natural that those who remained in this place would meet Anastasia and Fana for the first time since then, so there would be those who were worried.

… some of them approached Anastasia with a lower heart rather than worrying…

"Pea!"

"Wow!

The adventurer man, who reached for Anastasia's ass while the other adventurers were talking, notices a deer nearby targeting himself with that splendid horn and manages to dodge it.

A man known for his feminine liking and fast hands, but at the same time a master of skill only to be entrusted with escorting this place from his guild.

I was surprised by the horn blow of a deer, but still it wasn't hard to avoid that attack.

... Although he was able to avoid it, the man who saw the antlers of the deer up close hurried to distance himself from Anastasia.

"Piiiiii!"

A deer who sees the man who escaped and sounds like he has won.

Seeing a man like that, the people around him laugh.

"Master Ray, do you want me to tie something up?

"... do you want to do something, right? No, you really are, aren't you? You didn't say anything about tying that guy up, did you?

"Slow down, please"

Zozo still can't get Ray's words right... or after he hears them, he seems to have difficulty converting them in his head, and he says so like he's confused.

Ray nods and opens his mouth thinking so, not trying to tie up the person who tried to touch Anastasia's ass for now.

"Never mind."

Ray didn't even know what Zozo was worried about.

But still, if I said this anyway, I would have no problem, so I decided... Zozo also somehow knew what Ray was talking about, he snorted.

"Ray, it's been a long time. What do you say we do a mock fight with me?

It's Gaga who's been talking to Zozo like that.

Zozo's...... and Zaza's brother now trapped in the dungeon of the Lords' Hall.

In Ray's image, it was called a samurai, but if you see him speak fluently compared to Zozo, I guess that means his head spins are also above Zozo.

... all of a sudden around telling me to do a mock fight, though it was always the same.

"You have no reason to do it.... With Vihella, I might have done it."

"What's wrong with that Vihaia?

"Vihera, it is. Not a, la."

I was a gaga who could speak the language fluently compared to Zozo, but there were times when I got the wrong word because it was still not the language I was used to, or simply because it was hard to say.

Correct Vihera's name and then tell her why that Vihera can't come here.

"Vihera is looking around Gilm.... you know what a gilm is?

Ray also needs to ask carefully than he knows how far Gaga remembers the word.

But Gaga opens her mouth naturally.

"It must be the name of the place we used to be. As far as I'm concerned, the Birth Tower calms me down."

"Right.... Oh, by the way, I'd also like to ask Gaga if anyone's been playing any pranks lately or anything like that?

Only Gaga, the owner of nearly twice the height of Ray, needs Ray to talk as he looks up, even when he talks.

Waiting for Gaga to say something, worried a little bit about her neck hurting...

"No, nothing in particular seemed like it."

That's what I get, and to the same words as the adventurer earlier, I still get the thought that the fairy hasn't come out here.

"Right.... I'm sorry, but I'm busy with a lot of things right now, and I don't have time for mock warfare opponents. Do a mock fight with Lizardman and the adventurers."

Moments, the gaze of Lizardman, who can speak the language, and the adventurers employed as escorts here, is directed at Ray.

Oh, my God! A half-deficient gaze, like that.

(Uh... apparently, you had a lot of problems. Maybe he was in a mock fight with the adventurers and the Lizardmans while I was gone...)

Gaga is one of the most powerful Lizardmans who has now transferred to Elgin.

Even for the adventurers who are expected by their guild to escort them here, it seems so difficult to win.

Mock fights on top of that...... I challenge many to mock fights precisely because I prefer to be strong.

What was most troublesome was that Gaga could understand and speak the language of this world.

When I couldn't speak, I needed to use Zozo as an interpreter and communicate with him, but now that I can speak freely, I can invite him to mock warfare in my own language.

In that sense, it must have been a huge detriment to the adventurers that Gaga had learned the words.... Still, it would be better to understand the words given the times.

"Well, that's too bad"

As the word goes, when you really squeal unfortunately from the bottom of your heart, you walk away from before Ray.

I guess Ray's not back here in a long time is that important to Gaga.

On Gaga's back, which looks heartless or lonely, Ray wonders if he should call out anything...... even if he imitates like that in the present situation, he decides it could just make him expect without meaning, and stops hanging words.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go back to the Trent Forest again soon. I came here to let you know that I've got the Anastasias back safely."

"... take it back?

An adventurer who hears Ray's words feels uncomfortable with those words.

It is true that Anastasia was missing, but still that expressions such as retrieving it here would not be used normally.

Seeing how such an adventurer is, Ray also understands that he's misspoken...

"Sometimes you shouldn't know"

To deceive... and at the same time, I said so with the will that it was better for you.
