Legend

I'm sorry, I can't say no. Someone's here to see me.

With that said, Dusker tells the Rays to sit on the couch.

As always, it's Dusker's office that Ray and the others meet with Dusker.

But not this time.

It's not just the Rays who meet Dusker, it's also the fairy Nielsen.

Dusker, of course, knows that, so he probably got a room for a proper meeting with the guests, not the office.

... In fact, it may have been this room that I met with someone I couldn't say no to.

"No, never mind. So..."

That's what Ray says and takes out Nielsen, who was in the dragon robe.

Luckily, he didn't even do anything like sleep in the dragon robe this time.

... Why Nielsen was in the Dragon Robe.

That's because even being a maid of honor didn't make you look like a fairy.

The fairy thing is equivalent to a whisp that creates a hole that leads to another world... no, it goes down a little bit more than that, but it's definitely still important.

Even the men and maids who were sworn allegiance to Dusker needed to hide the fairy's presence as much as possible.

That's why Nielsen was inside Ray's dragon robe until he came to this room from the guest room.

"Phew..."

Nevertheless, Nielsen, who was put out of the dragon robe, never looks dissatisfied.

If you try Nielsen, it would be a cool and comfortable place in the dragon robe.... even if it's somewhat narrow.

That's why being put inside a dragon robe while on the move didn't do anything particularly offensive.

"Hey, Nielsen. Master Dusker. Lord of this guilm... is it easy to tell if you are the owner of the Trent Forest?

In fact, it's different, but Ray tells Nielsen to be easy to understand for now.

To Ray's words like that, Nielsen watched Dasker over Ray's palm... but eventually, he rises with his wings winged.

"Hmm. You are.... I'm Nielsen. I've been entrusted with this case for a long time."

Nielsen, who looks at Dusker with interest, tells him so without looking particularly nervous.

If Dusker gets angry, if anything happens, he just needs to transfer and disappear from here, I guess that's what he thinks.

And in fact, the Rays don't have the technique to do something about Nielsen if they're going to have a metastasis.

No, if you mean you can kill him instead of capture him, it won't be a difficult story to deal with before Nielsen transfers.

But if you imitate that in the present situation, that's not how the other fairies in the Trent Forest behave.

... a fairy with a curious personality that doesn't matter later if we enjoy ourselves.

It is possible that even if your buddy dies, you don't particularly care, but it can also be hateful and amusing and offensive.

Of course, there are many in the Guild today, and given the facades that have been in the Guild for a long time, there is no way to fight and lose a fairy with that power.

But that's only if you fight the fairies from the front.

Originally fairies don't imitate things like fighting from the front.

More than that, it will definitely be a guerrilla battle.

The Trent Forest alone has done a lot of damage to adventurers and trolls.

In that, what kind of commotion would it be if a fairy came to Gilm...... I wouldn't even have to think about it.

Gilm's construction additions will surely fail and Dusker will just end up wasting an entirely meaningless amount of money.

(In order to avoid that kind of trouble, it would be helpful if you and Dusker could wrap up the negotiations.)

As for Ray, I mean the first city I've come to since I came to this world... and having been based for a few years, I have an attachment to Gilm.

For Ray, I'd say this is the home of a world called Elgin.

"You're in charge of this one, right?... Then let's be frank with this one. What did the fairies come to Trent Forest for? If it were true, I would have asked Ray and the others to explore it..."

Excuse me.

To Dusker's words, Ray, head down.

When I asked Ray to find out about the fairy, Ray brought the fairy to me for some reason as an answer to his request.

It was definitely unexpected.

Nevertheless, as a Dusker, I'm not going to blame Ray for that.

Naturally, the reason why fairies came to the Trent Forest and how many of them are there is because I am more certain to ask them directly than to ask people.

It's not that I can't trust Ray, but it's a lot that when it comes to people, it's solid information... or something like nuance when you explain it to them.

That's why, as a Dusker, I'm not going to blame Ray for bringing a fairy like this, only praise.

… it was unexpected that Elaine and Arla would be on the spot.

But I'm pretty sure there's something more we can do around it than act with Ray.

"Never mind. It's enough to bring me a fairy."

When he tells Ray with his head down so, Dusker once again asks Nielsen.

"So, why are you in the Trent Forest?

"I don't care why you say it... because it's cozy? Environmentally, it's a good place for us."

"… environment……"

To Nielsen's words, Ray whines small.

Trento Forest has become a place to be called the Demonic Realm, where various phenomena are currently taking place.

I'm honestly not convinced as Ray when they say I'm comfortable with such a place.

Of course, if you try to make it a ray operating in the Trent forest, you never think it's a forest with a bad vibe... because that's only a ray.

It wouldn't be strange to have someone who doesn't want to be as close as possible if the normal person were to know what's going on in Trent's woods.

In any case, there is no denying the possibility of being flown to another world in some cases.

Ray would be able to survive normally even in a metastatic world... but what happens if you are a low-skilled adventurer in that area.

That's obvious without even thinking about it.

... That's what many people would say that it's hard to even beat Centaur instead of Dragonias.

(Well, Centaur, anyway, Dragonias was basically the majority of those who were moving with the instinct of hunger, and they had no means of attack against enemies in the air. Think of it that way, even if a fairy who can fly freely through the sky as a racial trait goes to the world of Centaur... I guess there's no problem)

Of course, it is not always safe because some dragonias also have the means of ranged attack, like braces, while others have the means of attack, like walking or transferring through the air.

Most importantly, dragonias with such special abilities are annihilated by Ray, Vihera, and Seto, all of the queens.

However, in the case of Centaur, it is important to be careful when pranking Centaur, as many of them do not pass the sprinkle, and they also have means of attack, such as bows and magic, against enemies in the air.

"I understand the environment is good. But as I'm sure you've already heard from Ray, Trento Forest Tree is also very important to Gilm, who is currently working on additions. I'd like to fell Trent's forest trees... how about that?

"Hmm, to some extent, anyway, that would be troublesome to spread. Besides, humans are greedy, so they're going to cut trees out of place."

"It's..."

I can't deny Nielsen's words to Dusker, who is also a human being, let alone a lord of the Guild, and knows full well the depth of human desire.

Fortunately, the only people who are logging trees right now, and that number is by no means high.

I honestly want to increase the number of duskers, but unfortunately I have not been able to increase it any more so far.

Around… No, I was trying to gather a lot of things from villages, cities, and cities quite far away, but everywhere it is important that a lot of things be said.

More than that, there are not that many people who can dispatch a pigeon.

Of course, in this case, "" is not just ", but" has the appropriate skill. "

The man who had just become a golden man... but the amateur who insisted that he was a golden man was out of the question.

"So, as far as we're concerned, it's Trent Forest? I have trouble getting that tree cut down. Besides... there are people here who can grow plants, right? Then you don't have to come to the back of the woods, you just have to cut down the trees on the outside."

The words out of Nielsen's mouth were true.

The logging currently being carried out by the scavengers is progressing towards the heart of the forest, albeit with some width.

Given the circumstances around it, only the outer part of Trento's forest can be felled.

Trento's forests are vast, so you'll be able to harvest a significant amount of trees simply by harvesting them to circle the outside.

And if the logged areas were allowed to grow by the green people... by the time they came back around, it was quite possible that the trees were already back to normal.

That's only reason, though.

It doesn't necessarily work that way, and most importantly, Dasker had the feeling that he didn't want us to be involved in the lake, regardless of the tower of birth.

"Even so, this one has quite a plan to cut trees. This is more than that, and I can't imitate it in such a way that I can change my plans immediately."

"So what do you do? Hostile us?

Nielsen telling you to provoke.

In the battle in the woods, I guess it's because we're convinced we're in our favor.

"... sucks, burn it"

Bitter! And Nielsen stiffens his body when he hears Ray whimpering small.

Trento forest trees are a very valuable substitute for additional construction.

But still, having a hostile fairy on the spot in Guild is definitely a very troublesome existence if you try Guild.

If so, you just have to burn every forest in Trent.

Not to mention that Ray specializes in wide-area extermination magic.

Magic, starting with fire whirlwinds, is too powerful to burn Trent's forest.

Using them, of course, makes it impossible to use Trento forest trees as building materials.

"Sort of... right. We should compromise on each other a little bit, right? Yeah, actually, that's what I wanted to do, too."

Did you take Ray's words seriously, Nielsen tells him so, changing from the way he provoked earlier and trying to compromise on each other?

Dusker turned a complex look at Ray.

Should I praise you or blame you?

Because the neighborhood was subtle.

Nevertheless, the negotiations eventually progressed positively, so neither does Dusker have the appearance to speak out of dissatisfaction any further.

"If you say so, this one will help. So... the first thing I want to ask you is how many fairies there are. That number changes how much extra time should be taken into account when considering this one."

"Hmm, number... number..."

Asked how many, Nielsen shows a little lost against it.

There is no such thing as being asked how many we are and getting lost.

But... this is a negotiation.

If Dusker answers honestly about the number of people he's heard, that would mean making a clear difference in power between them.

I guess Nielsen hated that.

Nevertheless, if we do not give our numbers on this occasion, the negotiations themselves will not proceed.... No, they didn't think it would be a problem for me to say some more numbers, but that's just a current story and numbers could be a problem in the future.

If so, there was no choice not to speak of it here.

"I don't know the exact number, but maybe five hundred."

"... it's also... five hundred,"

Surprising voices leak out of Dusker's mouth.

I guess Dusker didn't even know exactly how much he was there... but still, I guess it was surprising that five hundred.

... I was surprised that I was counting with people, not with a horse, if I tried it on Ray.

However, given the significance of negotiating, it was natural to count people and subpeople, not the ones counting monsters.
