Legend

In the meantime, I reported my return to Lizardman and the adventurers - of course I didn't say anything like that from different worlds - and Ray walks around the Trent woods with Elaine and Arla on Seto's back looking for a fairy.

It should be noted that Anastasia and Fana both acted differently when they came out of the Tower of Birth, and by now would be conducting research in an underground space with whisps, in the middle of the Trento Forest.

(Because I'm interested in fairies, I never left my Whisp research alone to find a place where fairies are... right?

For Anastasia, fairies would definitely be interesting.

But at the same time, there's no doubt that Whisper is interesting.

... No, whereas there are quite a few precedents in the sense that we have found fairies before, it should not have been surprising to attract more Anastasian interest than fairies in terms of being able to summon various beings from different worlds into this world, let alone imitate them in contact with this world.

... Still wouldn't Anastasia be interested in fairies? And Ray thinks it's a big deal, purely because fairies are newer about this one.

Although that was only Ray's prediction, and there was no denying that there was actually any other reason.

"So, Ray. This is how we walk through Trent's woods, but how the hell do we find fairies from here?

Elaine riding behind Ray asks looking around.

"Even if they say so. We'll have to wait for the fairy to come out in the end.... I wish you had brought me some yellow"

"Even if they say so. I'm never good at imitating things like finding some specific opponent in a place like this in Yellow. Even if I brought him here... I don't think he was going to make it that far?

"Still, having a lot of eyes is a favorable side for us, isn't it? Besides... fairies are small. Then it is possible that the equally small yellow could have been useful in many ways"

"Dear Elaine, Lord Ray too. Isn't it pointless to worry about the area more than the yellow didn't come this way?

Earla, who was listening to Ray and Elaine's conversation, tells her so.

I've decided that there's no point in us talking about it here than that word was true, and Ray and Elaine change the subject, too.

... while perhaps Yellow is currently appropriately flying around and playing around the marina's house.

Most of all, there's a lonely side to yellow just because it's still small.

When I did, I missed playing alone... and I couldn't deny the possibility of heading all over the city.

"Find the fairy for now.... How do you think I should look? After all, is it like looking for a bird or something?

"Only Ray has ever met a fairy in this. What more do you want us to do than figure out that Ray?... What was it like on the Seremouth Plains?

I was Ray remembering what Elaine said on the Seremus Plains, but I was more right then when I was looking for a fairy and I found a fairy, and all of a sudden I got caught up in the prank that the fairy caused.

If so, I would be more incapable of telling you to find a fairy in the Trent woods in this situation right now.

"When you're on the Seremouth Plains, you're more right that you showed up from the other side. I can't say anything in the present situation.... I guess I'll have to look in the tunnel, think I might be in a tree branch or something"

In the words of Ray, who tells him so, Elaine and Arla once again look at the branches of the trees around them.

Nevertheless, even if I look at the branches like this, there is no such thing as a fairy soon to be found.

"Ah!... it was a squirrel"

I found something moving at the end of the branch. Earla screams small, but it wasn't the fairy who was at the end of that branch, but the squirrel.

Nevertheless, I can say that it was a rare sight in that sense because there were no animals or monsters at the beginning when the Trent Forest was formed.

(No, there were gigantic turtles and monsters born in the Trent Forest)

However, monsters from outside Trento's woods could hardly be seen until a short while ago.

It's really only recently that we've come to see animals.

Beyond that, it was also to Ray's delight that this forest of Trent was becoming a normal forest.

(Nevertheless, if the Trento forest trees are special also affects the area, in some cases this has become a normal forest and it is possible that the growing trees will not be used as building materials for the additional construction?

If that really happened, the construction of the Gilm would cost more money than Dusker had originally planned.

And naturally, whether you're buying wood from somewhere else similar to Trento Forest Trees, make Trento Forest Trees a more laborious tree than they are now and the Alchemists put their hands on it and have the same properties as they currently use it, it's definitely going to take a lot longer than it does now.

"Ray? What's up?

"No, it's good to have more animals, but I think that's going to cause a lot of problems."

Elaine snorts at Ray's words, I guess, but she doesn't really understand what Ray's thinking.

I guess it's because there's a difference in the amount of information we have around here.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

As Ray and Elaine are talking, Seto accidentally rings his throat.

At the same time, a bush a little further away sounds…

"Ha!

Ray activates the Nebra eyes of the magic item on the waist belt and throws them quickly when creating a

"Gugah!"

Released by Ray's hand, he pierces the bush and hits something that was ahead of him.

And then something gets jumped to retaliate against the person who inflicted that pain... but where he jumps out of the bush, Ray throws once again the punch created by Nebra's eyes, hitting the person who jumped in the air.

"Gang!"

Screaming and falling to the ground was a wolf-shaped monster.

I could tell it was a monster, not a wolf, because one tentacle was stretched out of its back.

(With that said, it's like I've fought a wolf monster with two tentacles... was it a dungeon with an altar of inheritance?

But the wolf monster in Ray's memory should have had two tentacles, and above all was clearly larger than the wolf who is now falling to the ground in this way.

(When that happens, is that the lower race of that monster? Either way, if it's not like that monster, there's a chance you can learn or enhance your skills with Demon Stone, so do you keep the body?)

Judging by that, Ray moves down from Seto's back to the side of a wolf monster cramped as he falls to the ground and bleeds, removes the disposable spear and pierces his throat, killing his life.

"Elaine, Earla, you know this monster?

If you look it up in the Monster Dictionary, you might know what kind of monster it is.

But now I didn't really want to spend any more time on that than I was looking for a fairy.

So I asked the two of them who seemed more knowledgeable than me...

"Rank D Monster, Darrawolf."

Lighter than Ray expected, Elaine answers.

"Darrawolf? Rank D was a shame. Still an unknown monster, so I'll make sure."

That's what I told him, I was just about to store Darrawolf's body in mystering...

"Huh?"

In an instant Darrawolf's body disappeared.

That's brilliant enough to think that the corpse I've ever had in front of me was an illusion or something.

But what wasn't an illusion is obvious if you look at Darrawolf's blood flowing on the ground, and the iron rust smell drifts around him.

Or blood, hallucinations, iron rust odors, could have misled the sense of smell by some means, but Ray thought it probably wouldn't.

And... some kind of falling sound that sounds unexpected.

"You're lying!?

Half-intuitively detecting the identity of that falling sound, Ray jumps quickly from where he was standing.

And a few seconds later... Darrawolf's body falling from the air hits the ground and sprinkles blood and eyeballs and other things around him.

Fortunately, Ray was distancing himself from where Darrawolf had fallen, so he had to bathe them all the time.

"Ray, are you all right?

That's what Elaine's been asking me a little further away, but there's no such thing as Ray getting hurt.

I don't expect Ray to get hurt to this extent, just in case he asks.

"Oh, no problem.... Nevertheless, what happened? Elaine, for once I ask, does Darrawolf have the ability to transfer by any means if he turns into a corpse?

"No, you don't. Ara?"

"There must be no such precedent."

To those two words, Ray nods and opens his mouth as he is convinced.

"I mean, acts like Darrawolf isn't meant to be... I did it with him dead, so maybe Darrawolf didn't do it, but if anything that doesn't make sense at all..."

That's it, Ray, who carefully observes what's going on around him.

Something could not have happened, so someone must have done it.

and Ray had an idea of the person who would imitate such

To be precise, those people... if you have to ask the fairies about the situation and do something about it, they were in Trent's woods, requested by Dusker to do it.

"Gru!"

The first person to detect anything suspicious than Ray was Seto.

Hearing such a sharp squeal of Ceto, Ray rushes toward Ceto's watcher.

What Seto was looking at was a branch of a tree about ten meters ahead from Ray.

And you're surprised Ray runs so vigorously, he looks slightly like a worm feather from among the leaves growing from the branches of a tree.

Of course, there was a sharp sense that Ray had, even though it was so wide away.

Nevertheless, it was about five meters from the ground that the insect blades were visible.

If you're an adventurer around there, you'll only be able to do things like throw something at that tree branch.

... but Ray has the means to do something toward high ground in the air.

Use the speed you've been running to jump and walk in the sky by activating Slapenil's shoes as you go.

That way, the height of about five meters can easily be reached.

Given Ray's physical abilities, it was also possible that he arrived with just the first leap, even without the use of the Slapenil shoes... given that he would land well on the tree branches, he would have needed to use the Slapenil shoes.

And landing on the branch, Ray reaches out instantly...

"Bubba, bubba"

Palm-sized figures as they slip through Ray's hands like that...... fairies show themselves.

"Let him go!

Don't let Ray chase you. Fairies fly upwards, not sideways or downwards.

Above is a branch still stretching from a tree, which covers and conceals the figure of the fairy by the leaves growing from it.

"I'm telling you, let them get away with it!

That's how he screams, and Ray kicks a tree branch and jumps.

Fairies flying and running with wings and rays kicking and jumping tree branches.

Which is faster was obvious in this case.

"Ghaaaaaaaaaa!

A scream rises from the fairy's mouth at Ray trying to pack a distance from himself while he sees it.

... that scream is not as much a scream as a fairy would say, but that's the scream a man would say... is that a little too much?

Either way, the fairy screams at Ray as he approaches closeness, but he reaches out that it doesn't matter...

"Ah?"

I should have grabbed the fairy with that hand.

The palm of Ray also has a slight touch of the blades.

But... if you notice, the fairy is nowhere to be found... just glowing powder sticking to your palms.

"... more. Where?"

More than flew into the air, Ray's body naturally falls to the ground according to gravity.

Ray, who followed that gravity, looks up in a hurry as he lands on the branch he used to jump earlier.

But there's nowhere to look like a fairy there.

The powder of light attached to the palm...... confirming what appears to be scaly powder, naturally there was no fairy figure anywhere on that palm.

"Why? At that time, we could definitely capture the fairy. Yet... how did you escape?

With such questions in his mouth, he realized that the search for a fairy was difficult.
