Legend

"Ray, you're back."... what happened to the fairy Nielsen? "

When Ray returned to the camp, the man in command of the adventurers asked.

When I left this place with Elena and Ara, I guess it was because Nielsen, who was on Ray's side, was nowhere to be found.

"I'm sure you've been punished for being chased by these people." I ran away before I got here. "

I actually went into a tree nearby.

When Ray saw Nielsen's situation, he decided that it was pathetic to be chased by adventurers again, and he didn't tell me where Nielsen was now.

Of course, Ray only knows about the trees he entered when he acted differently from Ray.

I didn't know what would have happened if I hadn't been out of the tree where Nielsen was and into another tree... after I did something different with Ray.

I see.

A man who does not question Ray's words and is convinced.

Just by looking at the scene that was actually chasing Nielsen with his eyes, he must have been convinced by Ray's words.

Among those who were watching such an exchange, Nielsen was particularly shocked to see the main characters who were chasing him.

I know that this happened because of their actions, but it's still a shock that I can't see Nielsen anymore.

"Ray, Ray, can you tell me what Nielsen likes?"

The men among the fairy lovers asked Ray so.

If you tell me what Nielsen likes, I'll prepare it by any means I can.

Words from such enthusiasm.

"Even if they say so."... in fairyland, sweets and fruits were popular.... but it's hard to secure the fruit in this situation right now. "

Although it is now autumn, it is already a season worthy of calling late autumn.

It wasn't snowing yet, but it was quite cold in the morning and at night.

It was not so strange that the first snow fell not far away.

If this is still autumn by summer, we may be able to get some fruit seeds.

There are trees in the Trent Forest that produce quite a lot of fruit.

However, as late autumn approaches, such fruits can also be eaten by animals and monsters, or fall to the ground because they are too ripe.

When I make a tribute to Nielsen, it becomes a fruit that grows on a daily basis.....

Alright, my victory!

A female adventurer listening to Ray's words was posing in a gutsy pose to reveal her joy.

When she picked fruits in the summer or fall, she dried them in her spare time.

In living here, the hobby of spending time is important.

There are other people who have a hobby of fishing in the lake.

That's all, a woman who could use her own dried fruit seemed happy.

A woman returns to pick up her own dried fruit.

"Ray, don't you like dried meat?"

One of those who remain here looks at Ray and asks:

I don't have any dried fruits, so I guess that's what I wanted to do with dried meat at least.

However, the dried meat is not dried meat that I made myself like a woman who went to pick up dried fruits.

It is dried meat bought from merchants as a knob for sake and preserved food.

The dried meat was obtained by an adventurer trusted by the guild, so it was quite expensive.

If this was a while ago, even the expensive dried meat didn't taste so good.

... no, it was still considered delicious enough at the time.

However, spices produced by green people are on the market in the Gilm nowadays.

Dried meat is clearly more flavorful than before, thanks to the use of a large number of spices.

Even if there is spice, it is not a good idea to use spice on the black quail.

Some of them use spices for nothing, and even though the price has become expensive, the meat is unpleasantly dried.

However, what the adventurer is buying is not such a crude product, but rather dried meat that seems really tasty.

Isn't that why Nielsen would be so happy to use such dried meat? I guess you thought so.

The adventurer looked at Ray with a slight expectation, but Ray's expression remained difficult even when he was directed at such a gaze.

"I don't know. Honestly, I think it's a bit difficult. It's not just dried meat as it is, but I don't know if I can cook with it."

Dried meat is a pretty good stock.

The only dish that Ray could think of right away was soup, but Nielsen would be happy to make it.

As far as Ray knows, Nielsen likes sweet treats and fruits, but he likes cooking as well.

Specifically, even though it's only the size of a palm, I'm happy to eat the skewers that are normally sold in the city.

Of course, that skewer is not the right kind to sell around here, but it is a skewer that you can eat and think is very tasty.

That's why Ray thinks Nielsen might be happy if the man who said he could give him dried meat could cook.

But it's a different story whether a man can cook something that Nielsen would love.

"Okay, okay! Then I'll cook for you!" But I'm good at cooking! "

A man who says so and leaves.

If you're good at cooking, you might have some chance.

With that in mind, Ray turned his attention to some of the others who were still there.

You seemed to be wondering what to do if there were no fruits or dishes to give to Nielsen.

Ray didn't care about you, and called out to the man who was in charge of the adventurers.

"In the meantime, Elena and the others sent me, and they should be able to report what happened in the Trent Forest since I came here." I hope nothing else happens. "

"There was a lot of things going on today, and I hope nothing will happen after that if possible."

The man muttered with a sting.

If I were a man, I would hope that there would be no more major disturbances today.

Even if there is some kind of disturbance or movement, I would like it to be done after tomorrow if possible.

Given what happened in the Trent Forest today, it was only natural to think that way.

"Well, I don't want any more today either."... I don't know what's going to happen to the giant slime. "

The giant slime was visibly reduced by the attack of the black dice.

With additional magic effects, the giant slime keeps burning even if the black dice dies.

If it just keeps burning, it'll be the same as before.

However, Ray's ability to react to magic had faded due to the attack of the black dice, and now... but it was definitely getting smaller.

And since Ray's prediction was that the resistance to magic would drop as it became smaller, it was not strange that it burned all at once when it became somewhat smaller.

(The sudden increase in the presence of water wolves over there is probably due to the weakening of the giant slime...? Or maybe the water wolf is absorbing the power of the giant slime and increasing its presence.)

Somehow... somehow it really was, but it didn't seem right.

"That way... that's Ray's job, isn't it?"

"I want you to stop imitating me." I'm in charge of the case, so I think you can lend me a hand? "

If you say that, the man can't say anything.

In fact, after Elena returned to Gilm, Ray was the only one who could do anything when the black dice appeared.

If Ray focuses only on the giant slime, he won't be able to deal with the black dice.

Ray-sama, I don't mind keeping an eye on the giant slime.

It was Zozo who came into the conversation.

As a Zoso who is loyal to Ray, it's not a bad idea for him to do the work that Ray thinks is troublesome.

How many of them are so relieved by the words of Zozo?

(The guard of the birth tower is my job, so if you think about it that way, it's not a strange story.)

Looking at the adventurers, Ray felt that way.

In this situation, the adventurers need to pay maximum attention to the birth tower.

Especially now that the black dice...... are showing up, it's only natural to want to make sure there's nothing unexpected.

"Alright, then I'll leave the monitoring of the giant slime to Zozo." Basically, I'm supposed to be in the camp, so let me know if anything happens. "

Got it.

After bowing happily to Ray's words, Zozo quickly headed to the lake.

As a pledge of loyalty, Zozo would have been happy to have been ordered by Ray.

Ray didn't really understand why I was so loyal to myself.

I'm sure Ray would be more or less convinced if he were simply favourable to himself.

I understand that there are many problems in my personality, but I still like many things in the world.

... Specifically, Elena and the others.

But Ray doesn't know much about loyalty.

No, it's not that I don't understand the word loyalty.

For example, Aaron's loyalty to Elena.

Besides that, many of Dusker's men are not only true words and superficial attitudes, but also truly loyal from the bottom of their hearts.

But why are you loyal?

That's no wonder for Ray.

That said, I'm sure Zozo is puzzled by his loyalty, but if you ask me if I'm happy or not, I'm definitely glad.

"In the meantime, I don't care about the giant slime... I don't have anything special to do, so let's take it easy in the camp." Looking at those guys. "

Beyond Ray's gaze was a woman with dried fruits.

The woman is calling Nielsen, but Nielsen doesn't seem to react.

"Nielsen, I have some sweet dried fruits, why don't you eat them?" It's delicious. It's my handmade... cum! "

She waved her hands wide to show that she had dried fruits, but something suddenly hit her hands quickly.

Something... no, Ray could understand what it was.

If you think about this one, you can easily imagine what it is... who it is.

Although she didn't seem to understand who took her, Ray was able to confirm her appearance.

That's probably... no, definitely Nielsen.

Moreover, when she jumped out of the tree trunk growing on the woman's side and took the dried fruit, she went straight into the trunk of another tree.

(It's early. I bet you didn't like being turned into a toy that much. So, did you want to eat dried fruit or something like that?)

The woman must have noticed that the dried fruit had disappeared from her hand.

Looking at the trees unfortunately... Nielsen is looking at the trees inside.

The woman might not have been able to confirm it with her own eyes, but as an adventurer, she could somehow understand where Nielsen had entered.

"Ray, then I'll go back to work." You can do whatever you want. "

The man leading the adventurers called out to Ray and walked away.

Ray has a job to deal with, but he doesn't have to escort the Nativity Tower.

There is nothing more to be done when it comes to watching out for incoming opponents.

In the end, Ray was going to spend his free time until he was exhausted.

Well then, Set, let's decide where to put the magic tent.

Grrrr!

In response to Ray's words, Set snorted.

I'm sure Set has decided that there's nothing more to be done, no matter how long he's been here.

In Ray's case, there's no need to build a tent.

However, if you put out the magic tent inside the Misty Ring, you'll still be ready to camp.

You can do it because you have Misty Ring, but many people envy Ray for that.

Normally, he'd have to build his own folded tent, but Ray didn't even have to do it.

Ray was looking for a good place to build a magic tent while some people turned their envy to him.
