Legend

The water wolf that appeared in front of Ray was smaller than Set, but it was still an ordinary wolf...... Compared to the wolf that guarded the fog space around the fairy homestead, Ray was several times the size.

When I encountered a water wolf before, I felt that it was bigger than Set, and my height was about seven to eight meters.

Compared to that time, it is obviously smaller.

Even though it was getting smaller... the force felt by the water wolf was obviously higher than before.

However, when I first fought against the water wolf, it was huge, but the next time I came into contact with it, it was smaller, so I thought that I could change the size of it to some degree.

Still, the difference was that the force felt was very different from before.

"Wahu... wahu!"

However, even if it is a water wolf that has become such a giant, there is no change in attitude when it comes before Ray.

The water wolf was obviously bigger than usual, so some adventurers and lizards tried to hold their weapons reflexively.

Anyway, some of the adventurers remembered about the previous battle.

However, those in charge of adventurers, Gaga and Zozo, stop them.

Because I knew the giant wolf wasn't Ray's enemy.

If they were hostile, they would be quite a strong opponent, which is why they didn't want to be.

Only the best could understand that the water wolf in front of them was ranked higher than the previous water wolf.

If this is a normal monster in this world, you can get materials and magic stones even if you fight and win for some reason.

However, this water wolf is a wolf whose body is made of water, as the name suggests.

It was already known that there were no magic stones in the monsters in the lake, and even if I defeated them, I had nothing more to gain than water.

Or if the water wolf was hostile and attacked adventurers and monsters, I could defeat it, but if I saw how nostalgic I was for Ray, I didn't have to dare attack here.

"Look, don't attack me. I will."

As you can tell, the man in charge of the adventurer tells you.

There are good adventurers here, so I don't want to attack them senselessly, understanding the meaning of the word.

Even if you are a lizard man, if people like Gaga and Zozo tell you not to attack, you basically don't think about defying the superior, so you don't attack.

"Ray... are you sure you're okay?" As far as I can see, you're pretty strong, aren't you? It's obviously stronger than before. ”

One of the adventurers told Ray so.

As an adventurer, I could understand that even if I saw the presence of water wolves, they were quite strong.

That's why I was vigilant.

"Oh, it doesn't matter how I saw it." You know there's no hostility, right?... well, even if you're hostile, there's a possibility that you're hiding it. "

Even though he said he might, Ray doesn't really think that a water wolf would attack him.

As if to support Ray's prediction, the Water Wolf comes to Ray when he leaves the lake.

Wow, wow!

The water wolf squeaks with joy.

While looking at such a water wolf in front of her, Ray stretched out his hand without any particular concern.

Then the wolf lowered its head to make it easier for Ray to stroke.

Seeing such a water wolf, Set looked slightly envious as he watched the situation from a distance.

It was a great pleasure for Set to caress Ray.

That's how you thought the water wolf envied you.

"Well, what the hell is wrong with you?" You haven't been out here lately... right? "

For the last time, I asked the adventurers who were nearby to see how things were going.

Ray hasn't acted around here lately.

No, I actually came to see the adventurers who were escorting the Nativity Tower for the dismantling of Gameron, but that was all I had to say.

I never approached the lake and tried to make contact with the wolf.

Ray thinks he may have thought of making contact because he hasn't come to the side of the lake in a long time.

"Oh, even with us, the water wolf never showed up." Given the size of the lake, there may have been more to do than come here. ”

"And was it a water wolf because Lord Ray came?" Isn't this monster coming too? "

The captain who was watching the story would have decided that the wolf was not Ray's enemy.

It comes naturally to me.

Wow?

However, for a water wolf, the length is...... and Nielsen, who watches from a distance, is the first to see it.

It was also judged from Ray's appearance that he was not an enemy, and there was no appearance of being attacked by Chang or Nielsen.

(Huh? Could it have been quite dangerous? If the water wolf and the captain become hostile here....)

In that case, was Ray able to stop the fight?

I don't think we're going to lose the fight, but in this case, we're not going to win against each other, we're going to stop the fight.

Beyond that, I'm sure it would have been quite a hassle if it had been a fight.

Without such a thing, Ray seems to have been friendly with each other and most importantly reassured.

"Wow... wooooooooon"

The water wolf who was looking at the captain screamed happily for some reason.

Huh?

The chief doesn't know why the wolf looks so happy when he sees himself.

I don't know, but we'll be friendly again.

If the water wolf had been hostile to the captain, the captain would not have been friendly to the captain.

Why is the water wolf so friendly toward the long...... I don't even know the other faces, including Ray, who was watching from the side, or even the long one.

In that case, Nielsen was the only one who could have predicted it.

(Maybe you figured out that if you had a fight with the chief, you'd have a terrible time.)

That's because I know the other person well.

Nielsen has no choice but to be hostile to the chief, given the number of punishments he has been subjected to.

If you imitate it like that, it's like the worst future is waiting for you.

What is it?

"Huh!? No. Nothing!"

The captain had some kind of interaction with the water wolf, but he suddenly looked at Nielsen and asked.

Although there was a smile on his face, it was overwhelming.

If you try to get something wrong here, it will be a decisive mistake for you.

It doesn't seem strange to judge that way, such a smile.

Somehow the chief would have figured out what Nielsen was thinking.

However, in the end, there was nothing more to poke into the matter here.

It was because there was interaction with water wolves and rays, but in fact, I probably didn't want to show the other adventurers and lizardmen here a very obvious sight.

At such a length, Ray called out.

Chief, do you think we can do this amicably with the water wolf?

"That's right. There's no sign of an attack coming from the other side, so I was wondering if there was any problem."... I wasn't really interested in the lake next to the Trent Forest. ”

The important thing for the leader was to protect the fairy village.

For that reason, even though I looked carefully at the forest of Trent where the fairy township existed, I didn't care about the lake next to it at all, but compared to the forest of Trent, it was not so high-profile.

But this is how Water Wolf treats himself friendly.

It is not strange to think that a friendly relationship can be established.

"I'm telling you, this lake is huge." And there are many kinds of creatures living in it. Some are friendly like water wolves, but others are hostile.... when I first encountered a water wolf, it was a fight. "

Is that so?

The chief reveals a look of surprise.

In the long run, the relationship between Ray and the Water Wolf was unlikely to be the kind of thing we've fought in the past.

I'm telling you, I didn't hit each other in the evening on the riverbank, did I?

"... what about you?"

I guess I couldn't understand the analogy that came out of Ray's mouth.

The head said to Ray that he didn't know what he was talking about.

No, it wasn't just the chief, it was the same with the others.

What Ray said was kind of a promise.

But it only connects to the Earth... only some people in Japan.

In Elgin, such a promise doesn't make sense.

I guess that's what you found out. Ray looked at the water wolf in a slight embarrassed manner.....

Is it easy to understand that friendships have sprung up because of fighting, or is that not the case?

“Oh, I see. It would have been easier if you'd said that from the beginning.”

That's right.

I honestly apologize because I think I was wrong about this case.

”Anyway, there aren't many... things about water wolves, but we're in a friendly relationship anyway.”

What exactly happened with the water wolf? Thinking of it, I can only think of the flesh of an orc when I say that I am not an enemy, except when I fight.

As the name Water Wolf suggests, I was a little surprised when I ate oak meat just because my body was made of water.

"If you dare to say... do you want to feed me?"

Considering that he became friendly by feeding oak meat, the expression "feeding" is probably correct.

In addition, since the opponent was a monster called a water wolf, it was convincing that it became friendly by feeding.

”But... I don't know what it is, but it looks like you're getting pretty strong.”

Waffle?

The water wolf leaned his head against Ray's words.

If you were a water wolf, you wouldn't really feel that strong.

Then, why did that happen?

It is also possible that the wolf survived in this lake while Ray was gone and became stronger as a result.

But if you're stronger for that reason, you don't have to look strange toward Ray.

You just have to show your attitude that you have grown stronger with confidence.

However, judging from the state of the water wolf, it seemed that he was really unconscious.

(Why? It is obviously higher than when we met before. or else....)

Ray's gaze turned to a giant slime that was still burning.

However, that figure is obviously... yes, it's shrinking more than you can see.

The magic effect Ray used to defeat the black dice... Rather than being absorbed into the black dust by the black dice, the power of the giant slime fell.

If Ray's magic had won, the giant slime would have been on fire a long time ago.

The more resistant the giant slime was, the more Ray's magic would have disappeared.

In the latter case, apart from the resistance, there was also the ability to regenerate as a slime ability, and overall, it managed to counter Ray's magic.

However, since the body was absorbed by the black dice as black dust, the ability of the giant slime was weakened as a result.

In other words, I couldn't fight Ray's magic anymore... and the result was my current shrinkage.

"The power of that slime is flowing into the water wolf...?"

"What do you mean?"

I guess I didn't understand Ray's words.

One of the adventurers who heard the story turned a strange gaze.

"No, I'm not sure about anything, I just thought about it based on circumstantial evidence." As you can see, the giant slime is shrinking. I thought the black dice and my magic had weakened the giant slime, and that amount of power flowed into the water wolf and became stronger. "

"No, but... why?" I can see that the giant slime has weakened, but why is the power flowing into the wolf? "

"I don't know that much. Just like I said, it's a prediction from the situation. Maybe this prediction is wrong, or maybe the water wolf is like this because of something completely different.... why don't you ask the guy who's been studying this lake? I don't think he's here today.

Murmuring to Ray, the adventurers who were listening to him shook their heads sideways.

Looking at the adventurers like that, Ray took out the oak from the Misty Ring to give to the Water Wolf.
