Legend

Take the fairy Nielsen, and the Rays walk through the Trent Forest.

Nielsen is flying around Ray's side looking happy for some reason.

"Why do you seem so happy?

"Uh, 'cause it's a place where people have a cup, right? I'm looking forward to it."

"... I'm telling you, no pranks."

"Huh."

Was the word no pranks unexpected, Nielsen stops moving in the air?

While I'm there, I may have some fine art around me that doesn't fall to the ground.

"Lying...... right?

"True. And if you want to say more, it's forbidden to show you in public."

"Hey, whatever it is, that's not much!?

"Even so. Look, Nielsen. You fairies are commonly called phantom races, aren't you? That's the vast majority of people who only know in Ogami. In that, what do you think would happen if I imitated that you, the fairy, fly the sky as you please?

Saying so, Ray imagines Nielsen moving around in the gilm as he pleases.

... Definitely, it would be a huge commotion.

On top of that, many will try to capture Nielsen.

Then, naturally, it's not about the construction of the Gilm.

"You don't want someone to catch you and be a spectacle, either, do you?

"It's okay. If you get caught, you can run."

To Nielsen, who openly tells him so, saying so, this guy had that hand... and Ray holds his head down.

If you get caught and put in a birdcage or something to spectacle, there's no way you can keep someone like that locked up because they have the ability to transfer using a circle of fairies.

… Unless the alchemists make something like a birdcage of magic items with the ability to disable metastases.

"In the meantime, still. Dear Dusker... The person Nielsen negotiates with is basically a calm person, but if you make a fuss in the middle of nowhere... on top of that, if something stops the construction of the Guild, you don't know what the hell's going to happen."

Ray's words have a strong authenticity.

Even from Ray's point of view, there are so many jobs that Dusker has.

On top of that, all the things Ray discovered - not that Ray is bad at anything - have also been thrown round by Dusker.

If Ray was a Dusker, he was confident that everything was already stinking and throwing out just because of the round-throated event.

It's a dusker who's taking a ton of trouble and stressing out.

So, if it were to be anything like an explosion, the damage would be extremely great.

I just knew that, and as for Ray, I didn't want to burden Dusker any more.

(In that sense, taking a prank-loving fairy here... I wonder what will happen to Master Dusker)

It was a subtly unpleasant hunch Ray, but if it's about the fairies, there's no reason to judge them on their own.

The reason why the fairies are in the Trent Forest, which Dusker asked Ray to do, was also certain to turn out if we were to return to the Guild from now on.

Of course, that's only if Nielsen negotiates honestly with Dusker.

(Normally, you don't have to worry about that area. It's just that Nielsen is a fairy. What a hassle to imitate)

As far as Ray knows, Nielsen was relatively decent among fairies.

... than Ray originally knew a small number of fairies, though that was only comparable.

Nevertheless, compared to the fairies encountered on the Seremouth Plains, Nielsen would be better off as much as the story makes sense.

The fairies I encountered on the Seremouth Plains were able to have a conversation for once... but when they asked me if I could still communicate with them, I honestly couldn't nod as Ray.

I was able to communicate with the chief who came to pick up these fairies.

"Make sure the others never find you. Otherwise, it'll definitely be a hassle."

Ray repeatedly tells the same thing as earlier, but Nielsen listens to Ray like that.

(How do I deal with this? Definitely this way......)

When Nielsen's figure is found by those in the Guild, it will be absolutely troublesome.

With that in mind, Ray figured out how to deal with it...

"Gru!"

And, inadvertently, Seto rattles his throat toward Ray.

That's the voice of vigilance...... but I know it's not an alert in the sense that a monster is out, it's a warning in the sense of who's approaching.

And at some point we're pretty much out in the Trento woods... and that's not hard to imagine who's coming close if we understand from the surroundings that we're in a place where the crooks and adventurers are.

"Nielsen!"

"Huh? Hey, what!

Grabbing Nielsen, who was flying near him, Ray half-reflexively puts him inside the dragon robe.

Naturally, if you try Nielsen, it was natural to raise a scream or dissatisfaction because it's a situation like being suddenly eagled out of a flying state.

But it is an unmistakable fact that we need to hide it more than we can find Nielsen in adventurers and crooks in the present situation.

If so, you could have taken for granted this act of Ray

"Be quiet."

It's almost at the same time that Ray tells Nielsen that he's going to storm in the dragon robe and several adventurers show up from the other side.

Is it a good time or a bad time? Ray didn't even know that, but I guess he was lucky to have been avoided the act of fairies being found by adventurers nonetheless.

And when the adventurers realize what the Rays look like, they're surprised, and yet this time they don't do things like lay down their weapons unlike last time, they open their mouths.

"Ray, what are you doing in a place like this?... Well, it's about Ray, so I guess I'm busy with a lot of things"

"Oh, I'm on my way to the Guild for a bit now.... What's going on with the felled trees? If it's hoarding, I'll take it."

"Uh, right. Looks like they've been working pretty hard in the morning, and I think that's pretty good. Take it if you can."

Exchange words like that and break up with the adventurers.

Precisely, I guess it's right that the adventurers were distracted by Elaine's presence behind Ray.

I guess being turned to the work of Trent's Forest means those who are recognized by the Alliance for both strength and humanity, but still in front of Elaine with the alias of General Princess, there is something to be pressured about.

That's why when I finish my conversation with Ray, I bow my head to Elaine and then walk away from the spot.

If you try to be adventurers, there is no such thing as Elaine, but there is no such thing as a decent opponent.

That's why I walked away right in front of Ray...

"You're rude people."

Ara groans dissatisfied with the attitude of such adventurers.

If you try to make Elaine intoxicating Arla, the adventurers' attitude toward Elaine is not very, but not forgivable.

"Don't be so angry. I don't care."

"But Dear Elaine..."

"Well, I don't think you can either."

Ray pinches his mouth as Arla tries to say something dissatisfied with Elaine's words.

But Ara opens her mouth in a disgruntled manner, not convinced by Ray's words like that.

Even though Ray's words, if you're not convinced by the rest of it, you stay with that look.

"Lord Ray, what do you mean?

"That's not a hard story. Ara's been on Elaine's side since we were little, naturally, but we're used to being with Elaine, too. If we stay together for so long, we get used to the existence of Elaine, naturally. But that's only because we're used to Elaine."

If this is aristocracy, it can be imitated to deal with it all of a sudden even if you meet with Elaine because you are somewhat accustomed to it in the social world.

But... it's hard to expect that from an adventurer.

Of course there are some adventurers who can usually deal with meeting with Elaine all of a sudden.

It is one who often deals with nobles.

The adventurers earlier were unfortunately not such adventurers.

That's why I ran into Elaine and I couldn't help but... rather than imitate the detour, I guess I escaped.

As an adventurer, I'm not that wrong to deal with.

... At least you could be praised for not imitating things like Elaine's beauty blinding you.

Besides their strength, they were trusted by the Alliance and entrusted with the Trento Forest.

Normally, no one would take such problematic action.

That's why Ray has no one to get involved with without knowing who he is, which makes him feel comfortable.

"Than that, Ray.... What happened to Nielsen?

"Huh!?

To Elaine's words, Ray rushes to retrieve Nielsen, who should be in the dragon robe...

"Uh, I don't want to leave yet."

With that said, Nielsen doesn't try to get out of there while trying to stick to his dragon robe.

"Hey.... why haven't you come out?

"'Cause it feels good here"

"... oh, I see"

Ray's dragon robe has a simple air conditioning feature that allows the user to move comfortably.

Cool when hot, warm when cold.

And now it's summer.

Many of Trento's forests are covered by trees over the sky, and the sun's rays, which are sun-like and intensely self-asserting in the summer, are also blocked by their branches.

Thanks to this, I don't feel relatively hot compared to when I'm walking in a normal place for even less.

But... still, summer is summer.

It's cooler than outside the Trent woods, but still doesn't completely block the summer heat for me.

Cool is only a story compared to outside Trent's woods, and even inside, the heat feels pretty good.

In the meantime, in a cool dragon robe was no more of an evacuation place for Nielsen.

... By the way, when Ray was in Japan, he had the symptom of air conditioning disease, which caused pain in his joints if he hit too much cooling, but just the dragon robe made of rare materials by Esta Knoll, an alchemist at Zepile Gate, never hurt his joints even if he continued to hit cold air.

In that sense, with this high performance because it is a magic item, there are many people in Japan who say they would definitely want it if they heard it... That was the unmistakable fact that countless of them are there.

In fact, it's not as easy as mass production because it uses dragon materials.

"Uh... then stay there"

At first it was Ray trying to get it out of the dragon robe, but it's definitely easy for Ray just not to do things like Nielsen going out and moving around.

If so, keep it inside the dragon robe and you won't have any particular problems.

That's the decision, and Ray decided to leave Nielsen there without trying to get him out of the dragon robe any further.

"Then proceed. Seto, please."

"Gru."

Seto goes on throbbing at Ray's words.

Then, a little further, there is the appearance of a pigeon.

A few of them are discussing it.

"What's up?

"Hmm? Oh, Ray. No, I tried to cut a tree, but my axe suddenly broke. And many at the same time."

"It's..."

Hearing the words of those crooks, Ray somehow anticipates a reason for that.

If it was one or two, it wouldn't be strange if the axe broke.

However, since multiple axes are destroyed at the same time, it cannot be normal.

And Ray has an idea about something that's not normal.

(Maybe...... no, that's definitely the fairy's work)

I'd just like to take out the Nielsen in the dragon robe and ask if I can, but there's no way I can do such an imitation in the present situation.

(I'd like you to refrain from pranking me while I'm negotiating if you can...... no, can't you just refrain from pranking the fairies)

Immediately rethink the thoughts within you.

"When you do, can't you cut trees?

"Hmm? Oh, no. That's all right. I've brought some spare axes, too. I'm just getting it for you now."

"Right. Then I'll take the felled trees now."

That's what Ray said, and Ray broke up with the others.
