Legend

For the time being, we could not find a larger individual than the others, who presumably transferred the black dice.

Not only Ray, but also Set can't find them, so we can only judge that there are no enemies around them.

That said, I couldn't be completely convinced.

(I hope the black dice have different properties from the black chunks from last night, and there are no bigger individuals than the others... but I'm optimistic about that.)

If you think about it, some black dice that have been transferred have split and become multiple black dice.

However, if he asked if he could believe it, Ray couldn't nod honestly.

Because I didn't think that it would be convenient for me.

Of course, if that's what you're really going to do, I'd appreciate it as Ray.

"So, what are we going to do now?" I already defeated all the black dice, and I couldn't find the bigger one like Ray said. In the meantime, can I assume that this case has been solved? "

Ray got lost in the adventurer's questions.

In fact, given the current situation, it may be better to do so.

But what if suddenly a black dice appeared again?

“I honestly don't know. It's just... yes. I think the people involved in this case will probably be told something by the guild or Dusker."

While saying that, are you telling the guild what happened? Ray and I have some doubts.

Only Dusker told Ray about his death.

The Duskers would have spoken to their trustworthy close friends, and since they've contacted the King's City, it's not strange that they've contacted the guild.

No, that would be more than convincing.

"Huh?... hey, what the hell got us into here?"

I don't think the guild here would have expected the Dusker name to come out at all.

Of course, the adventurers asked Ray, but the other adventurers also had a look on their faces about what was going on.

"It's a little difficult to explain... but I'm sure you've gotten yourself into a lot of trouble in the meantime."

Here, Ray thought he would say that if he did badly, the continent would perish, but when he heard that, he was probably not convinced by surprise, so he stopped.

Although this situation is definitely completely unexpected to the adventurers, I still decide that the adventurers will only be confused if I explain the details here.

"In the meantime, I don't know if I've found anyone bigger than the other individuals I met last night, but I can't help it if I don't look for them like this."... do you understand, Set? "

"Gruuuuuuu..."

In response to Ray's words, Set shook his head sideways, sadly snoring.

If you can't grasp Set's ability to sense the five senses, sixth sense, and magic power, you can't help it.

If Set can't find it, we can't find it.

The adventurers looked at Ray's words.

The adventurers here naturally knew that Set had become a mascot in Gilm.

Not only that, but I also knew how strong Set was as an adventurer.

However, if Ray can't find Set this way, he can't find the big black dice even if they search for it.

“Okay, if Ray says so, I'll believe it.”

If the adventurer here was overconfident in his power... then some would not be convinced by it because Set couldn't find an enemy.

Fortunately, there were no such adventurers here.

Even if it wasn't for the adventurers entrusted with escorting the birth tower, it was certainly true that the adventurers here were also trusted by the guild.

"I'm glad you understand." When that happens, for the time being... we'll rendezvous with the wolves. I'm counting on the men I've been working with to escort them, but it's dangerous to escort them alone. No, is it right that your hands don't turn? "

"Ahh... well, I think the Watts will be fine, but we should rendezvous before the monsters and animals attack us."

Named Watts, Ray knows the name of the adventurer he was working with for the first time.

Speaking of which, I didn't have time to introduce myself... and thought so.

Of course, Ray didn't know Watts' name, but Watts knew Ray's name.

Given Ray's visibility, that would be natural.

"Then let's move quickly." I've defeated all the black dice here, but it's possible they're still alive and headed for the Watts. "

That said, it was something Ray wanted to avoid.

If you like the presence of black dust when you touch it, it's because the worst future awaits you.

Ray's words made the other adventurers uncomfortable, so they nodded and began to move.

Instead of walking normally, it travels at a speed like running.

After a while, Set's throat chirped.

Grr

The people other than Ray who heard the sound of it were strangled in an instant so that they could act immediately if something happened....

“Don't worry, that means you're relieved.”

"...... you know very well......"

One of the adventurers turned to Ray in a mixed state of awe.

Only one of them spoke, but the others must agree with the words.

Ray and Set were connected by magic, so they could understand their intentions.

However, anyone who knew that Ray and Set were connected by magic could only be convinced.

To those who didn't know about Beast Magic, Set recognized that he was a monster tamed by Ray.

It's not strange to wonder why Ray knows what Set is trying to say.

Ray also understood what the adventurers wanted to say, so he said something else instead.

"I'll tell you what, I'm not the only one who knows what Set wants to say." Milaine and Johanna can usually understand what Set wants to say. "

Normally, I think this is great for Ray as well.

Because it was connected by magic power, Ray was fine, but how on earth did Milaine and Johanna understand Set's intentions, which were completely unconnected by magic power?

After all, as Milaine and Johanna say, it is likely that love is the reason.

(Sometimes... sometimes you do things that people don't understand because you love them.)

Once again, thinking about Milaine and Johanna, the adventurers listening to Ray seemed to be convinced.

Ray alone could be convinced by Taim, but Milaine and Johanna wondered or were impressed by how they could understand what Set wanted to say.

As we continued the conversation, we were on the outermost side of the Trent Forest... We had already cut down trees and left the open area.

There are no trees, so it's a nice place to look around.

In such a place, the wolves were hardened.

The first adventurer I encountered with Ray was watching his surroundings.

That's why the adventurer noticed Ray and the others coming out of the Trent Forest before they did.

Are you all safe?

A man screams with a full of joy.

In response to the voice of such a man, the men also turned their gaze to the adventurer's man, who was surprised to see Ray and the others there.

The fact that Ray and the others are here is probably because they understood that Ray and the others did something about the black dice.

You guys really beat that guy!

How did you win this attack even though it didn't work?

"Awesome... awesome, you guys..."

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you for your help."

A bunch of people said thank you to Ray, Set, and the other adventurers.

With that, the adventurers had a subtle expression on their faces.

After all, it was Ray who defeated the black dice.

All we could do was buy Ray some time to get here.

Even so, I was wondering if it was okay to be thanked by the samurai.

The adventurers here are the ones with the right skills.

Until now, in such situations, they often took the form of helping other adventurers.

This time, they were helped by Ray, and even though it was their assumption, it seemed like they were abusing Ray's handiwork.

That made it seem a little more subtle.....

"No, it was Ray who defeated the black dice." We just had to buy time. "

Eventually, one of the adventurers told me that in their words.

Then the others agreed with the adventurer that it was Ray who defeated the black dice.

If it was an adventurer around here, or if it was Ray who defeated it, it might be that he defeated it.

However, it is unlikely that such a personality will be trusted by the guild.

If anyone had no pride or anything, and would have taken away someone's hand, they would not have earned the trust of the guild, and would not have been able to do the job of escorting the guards here.

Ray shook his head against the adventurers.

"I may have defeated that black dice, but you guys definitely didn't turn the black dice toward us until I met." In the first place, your job is not to defeat those black dice, but to protect them. In that sense, I would have done my job well. "

Ray nodded in agreement with the words.

It was the first time the adventurers had fought against a monster they'd ever encountered, but the adventurers were definitely protecting themselves.

No one could be unhappy to be thankful for that.

Or if this is a request for the first day, we may have also complained.

It was the adventurers' job to protect themselves, but why couldn't they defeat their enemies?

However, they and the adventurers had always acted together... that's why they acted together like they did every day.

Getting close as a matter of course.

I can't imitate such an opponent by blaming him in this situation.

This is also a positive aspect of the fact that only those determined by the birth tower and the lake can escort them.

However, if the relationships in the area were not working well, we might have become a tight-knit relationship because we hated each other.

In that sense, this would have been the best outcome for many of us here.

I'm sorry.

One of the adventurers told Ray and the others that he looked like he was smelly.

Many of the other adventurers are not dissatisfied with themselves, but rather grateful, and smile happily.

For a moment, we exchanged words to celebrate each other's safety.

Ray was looking at her like that.

If you look at them, you know that Ray has helped them, but you are more grateful to the adventurers who are usually with you than to Ray.

Even if I couldn't defeat the black dice, I would be grateful if I decided that I had attracted someone I couldn't defeat to help me.

If possible, Ray didn't want to disturb this sight any more.

I didn't want to, but I can't keep making noise.

I did something about the black dice, but I need to talk a lot about the situation afterwards.

"It's nice to be saved, but I'd like to start talking about what to do now." I told the adventurers, but this case was a little complicated. That's enough to make the Gilm Lord Dusker move directly. "

In response to Ray's words, the pupils were surprised for a moment...... and they had an unbelievable expression on their faces.
