Legend

In the meantime, Nielsen and I promised to be here again before noon tomorrow, and Ray moved out of his thoughtful place as he was near the Fairy Settlement...

"So, what are we going to do? Are you going to go to them again?

"No, I'll go to the underground space where Whisper is. I want to see if Anastasia and the others are doing a good job, and I need to do something else."

Ray is giving Grimm one of Dragonias' bodies yesterday.

I know Dragonias' body will be useless after a day, so it is in the world where the Centaurs and the others have been placed.

If that's the case, I thought maybe even today the body wouldn't be useless and could normally be used as a material for magic items... and Ray would definitely know the result.

"I don't mind though...... how about Ara?

"If Master Elaine is going, I have no objection"

"That seems to be the case"

That's how the Rays head into the underground space in the middle of Trent's woods.

There was quite a distance from where the fairy was, but with Seto, I wouldn't get lost.

... In fact, it would be subtle to be honest if Ray were the only one who could go where the fairies are without Seto.

Ray wasn't worried because Seto remembered him by the smell.

In fact, Seto also has something subtly directional tone-deaf about it, but now he's forgotten beautifully about it.

Fortunately, while traveling through the Trento Forest in this way, something troublesome… nothing like being attacked by monsters or animals specifically, advances comfortably through the forest.

"When you look at it this way, it turns out it's easy to do Trent Forest"

"Right."

Elaine agrees with Ray's words, who was squealed as he watched the surroundings.

There are large numbers of trees growing in the woods, soothing the sunlight emanating from the summer sun, which by its trees makes intense self-assertions.

Ray was a little confused as to whether he could describe it as a leaky day... but still, given the current situation, Ray can only describe it that way.

(But if it's my image, a leaky day is spring. Summer... what is it different from the impression of a leaky day or what do you say... no well, it doesn't make sense to think about that)

Thinking that way, Elaine opens her mouth again.

"Those who work in these Trent woods are lucky in terms of getting some summer heat."

"I guess so. But it's moving around, so it's gonna get hot in the end."

Even if it's cooler than somewhat outside the woods, it shakes its axe over and over again to cut down the trees growing here.

Then, naturally, I scratch sweat.

... As Ray would do in Death Size, if only a flash of wood could be harvested, it was only natural because a normal flash could not be imitated like that.

Adventurers also need to move their bodies more than they need to imitate such things as cutting branches of felled trees or putting them together in one place so that they can be easily transported.

In that sense, it would be easier for those who are escorting rather than chores to still not have to move.

... Most of all, if a monster or animal strikes, the escort adventurer naturally needs to deal with it, so he needs to work harder than the others.

"I'm pretty sure it's more comfortable than the people who actually work on the additions."

To Ray's words, Elaine and Arla are convinced in unexpected ways.

In fact, it is an unmistakable fact that building additions are so demanding in intense direct sunlight falling from the sun.

Even less, Ray doesn't want to prefer such imitation.

I guess it's an unmistakable fact that you have to do it even if you don't want to do it more than it is a job.

"Gru."

and Seto, who was traveling as he sewed between the trees, accidentally rattled his throat.

That's not a voice that indicates vigilance, like the enemy is approaching, but a chirping that indicates that it is approaching the place of destination.

"Oh, have you arrived?... I think Seto will have to wait on the ground, so please play around here properly."

"Gru......"

It was the same ringing, but the emotions that are put in there are a little lonely.

Or maybe Seto didn't have to be that sorry either if there was someone here to play with.

(If I had Mileyne or Johanna, Seto wouldn't feel lonely either.... I'm scared you're gonna show up out of nowhere if you call me by my name because I'm going to deal with Seto here)

Normally, not very, but unlikely.

I know that, but in the case of Mileyne and Johanna, it's a horrible thing that we seem to be able to do something about that normality with ceto cuteness.

Impossible means that's not possible only for Mileyne and Johanna.

If it was for Seto, there was a strange trust in Ray that it was not strange to do anything irrational.

There was, but considering that, I really felt like Mileyne or Johanna was going to show up, and I immediately shook my neck to the side.

"In the meantime, Seto stay free around here."

Ray said the same thing earlier, but Ceto, wondering why he did such an imitation, nodded.

"Gru."

That's how he strokes the nodding ceto...... and Ray's gaze is directed to where it leads into the underground space.

"Go.... You don't mind, do you?

"Naturally. Otherwise, I don't know why I've come so far with Ray."

Elaine returns exactly what Ray said just in case.

Naturally, there's no alternative to not going to Ara's underground space, either, than Elaine would say.

In so doing, the Rays leave Seto on the spot to head into the underground space.

... Seto, who was to wait on the ground, sounded lonely in a situation where the Rays were gone, but there was no way he could do anything about it.

In the present situation, all we need is the size we can go to underground space… small to be exact.

With more than three meters in length, Seto can't use resizing skills to go down a passage where humans can travel.

If Seto was going to go underground, it was necessary to use Grimm's help to connect this place directly to the underground space and transfer it.

For a little while...... really for a little while, but I was hoping Grimm would notice my presence, but it doesn't look that way either.

Or, if this was always the case, Grimm might have noticed Seto's presence too... but Hate and Grimm now can't afford to be attentive to what's going on out there.

No, it's not that I'm not paying any attention because I'm acting like I can't find Anastasia and the others.

Anyway, sometimes Grimm now is investigating the body of Dragonias that Ray left in the world of Centaur yesterday, and he couldn't notice Seto's presence.

"Gru."

Once again, unfortunately, his throat rang, Seto lays down on the ground a little further from where the Rays went in.

Trento's forests are partly blocked by intense summer direct sunlight thanks to the trees, but still the heat is considerable in this time period.

Normally, trying to take a nap in a place like this would be too hot to sleep.

But... Seto is a griffon. That's not like the monsters around there either, very powerful high rank monsters equal to rank S.

Whether it's the desert-like heat of the day or the icy world, you can sleep without any problems.

Compared to such an environment, sleeping in this degree of heat is perfectly fine.

Ningro, it was even a comfortable bed.

... That's how half asleep, half awake and alert to whether dangerous beings are approaching... a little bird with several beautiful colored wings comes and descends on the body of a sleeping ceto.

Normally, there is no such thing as a bird approaching the presence of a griffon.

Still, this is how many little birds are on Seto's body right now, showing how lenient he is... I guess that's all because Seto is out of sight.

Seto sleeps with no signs while understanding his situation.

... Actually, Seto had also noticed that two deer were hiding a little further away, but if they hadn't come close from the other side, he would have decided not to fit in and let them go.

"Oh, Ray? What's the matter with you? And Elaine and the others..."

Anastasia speaks like that when the Rays come to where Whisp is in the underground space.

If you tried anastasia, you wouldn't have thought Ray would come to this underground space.

"I'm worried about what's going on over here. … specifically, I was wondering if Anastasia would go to the other world again"

"You know what? Why don't you just trust me a little bit?

"I can't."

Before Anastasia knows if she's finished saying it, Ray immediately attributes it to her.

That's instant enough to say half-reflective.

"... you know..."

Anastasia also tells them so complicated that she didn't think they would be so immediately denied.

But if you tried to make Ray know Anastasia's character, you couldn't believe Anastasia's words there.

(Most of all, there must be a Grimm in the other world, and if Anastasia had tried to go to the other world, she would have stopped it.)

If I lay it down, I can't trust Elf's Anastasia and I can trust Undead's Grimm... it was a complicated situation in many ways.

"I was wondering if I could help."

That's what Fana tells you, as if to prove the correctness of Ray's words.

I don't know that look because I'm wearing a mask as usual, but still, it was only natural for Fana to have a strong persuasion in Ray's words just because she understands Anastasia's character.

Two people, Elaine and Arla, who don't have much contact with Anastasia, see how it goes, especially not saying anything.

I know you think Ray's words would be more correct, but I guess that's what you're judging when you mouth it out here in a detour, it's going to be a lot of trouble.

In fact, that decision is not wrong.

"Well, leave the matter..."

"Leave it!?

"Let it go. How's Whisper doing? You figured something out?

"You know, there's no way research can go fast in a day with anything. Of course, sometimes that happens all of a sudden... miracles are miracles because they don't happen."

I said good things!

It was anastasia like that, but Ray opens his mouth through such anastasia.

"Okay. Then keep me researching Whisp. I'll take a proper look around this underground space."

"... why are you imitating that?

"I have a lot to look into about Whisper. That's why I want to find out if there's anything odd about it"

This underground space is quite large.

But there shouldn't have been that much interest in the underground space, beyond the fact that it was only Whisp that bothered Anastasia.

... which is why Ray can come to the underground space for such a reason.

If Anastasia were interested in underground space as well as Whisp, it would have been hard to find a reason for Ray to come here.

Still, in order to come into contact with Grimm, we need to come here.

No, in the worst case scenario, I can get in touch with Grimm if I use a pair of orbs... but the question is, could Grimm be obsessed with his research and not notice if the pair of orbs are in a receiving state?

I'm in the other world now, so I guess it's even better.

"Hmm.... I don't mind that, but don't get in our way, okay? More than that, what happened to the fairy? I knew you couldn't find him yet?

To that word, Ray tried to say that he had found it, but decided that if he said that in this situation now, he would undoubtedly be asked by Anastasia about the root digging leaf digging situation, which would be duly deluded.

"Do you think it's that easy to find a fairy?

"I knew you couldn't do it."

Ray didn't say he found it.... I didn't even say I hadn't found it.

That's how he misled the story and avoided pursuing it from Anastasia for now.

... Elaine and Arla had a slightly dazed gaze at Ray, though.
