Legend

The fact that the researchers are coming to the camp, of course, we need to talk to the lizardmen.

When Ray finished talking to the man who was leading the adventurers, he headed for the Tower of Birth.

Huh. You don't have to gaze at me, do you?

Nielsen said happily as he flew around Ray's side.

If you look at Nielsen, there are a lot of things I think about this case.

I don't like the gaze of the researchers, and I think that the researchers will imitate something strange.

However, given the current situation, I understood that I had to do it.

Under such circumstances, the birth tower is likely to escape the gaze of researchers even when they come, so there is no doubt that it seems to be quite a convenient place in that sense.

That's probably why Nielsen is in such a good mood right now.

... but Nielsen hasn't noticed because she only wants to get out of the researchers' sight, but in the first place, Nielsen has the role of informing Ray as soon as he is contacted for a long time about the case.

Given its role, it was difficult to imitate the idea of getting away from Ray so easily and immersing yourself in the Tower of Nativity.

Grrrrrr?

Set, walking next to Ray, throbbed as he saw Nielsen flying around in an upbeat mood.

From Set's point of view, I think there are many things that Nielsen thinks about.

Whether it's envy, pathetic, or pleasant... Ray doesn't know exactly how he feels.

However, from Set's point of view, Nielsen seemed a little concerned.

As I went on thinking like that, I eventually saw the tower of birth.

There were also adventurers and lizardmen protecting the birth tower.

Seeing that Ray was approaching, one of the adventurers who was talking to the Lizard Man came along.

"Ray, what's going on? It's unusual to come to the Tower of Nativity."

"I don't think I've come that far."... well, okay. Is Gaga there? I need to talk to you. "

"Ahh... Gaga took some Lizard Man out a while ago."

She was an adventurer who seemed a little confused, but Ray also understood her feelings.

Understood. Why would Gaga do that? I doubt it.

Previously, Gaga encountered a problem and couldn't do anything.

No, to be precise, I understood the nature of the pestilence in the battle, and I let the other Lizardmen escape, but that was all.

I can't imitate you like that.....

(Ah, so that's why?)

Ray somehow understood.

For Gaga, his strength meant a lot.

Losing simulated battles with Ray, Elena, and Vihella didn't change anything.

My goal was to be strong, but in that way, I couldn't get my hands and legs... and my tail out.

It must have been a pity for Gaga.

Or even if Gaga himself doesn't want to regret it that much, he can't deny the possibility that he couldn't be satisfied if he tried the other lizard men.

In order not to make the other Lizardmen uneasy, they could not win the previous battle, but it was not strange to show in such an attitude that they had not yet lost.

"I understand the story. But then... what about Zozo?"

I understand that Gaga isn't here, so it doesn't make sense to blame her here anymore.

Besides that, Zozo thought of Ray as someone else...

Zozo was a rare Lizard Man who pledged loyalty to Ray, but the Lizard Man in the Birth Tower was second only to Gaga, and was also placed at a glance by other Lizard Man.

Among the Lizard Man who respects his strongest opponent, why can't you swear allegiance to Zozo, who is stronger than Gaga at first sight, even if he is not as strong as Gaga?

I guess that's because I know Zozo's sworn allegiance to Ray.

Zozo definitely chooses Ray if he can only help either Ray or the other Lizard Man.

Because I know that, Zozo is a person to be respected by many, but it will be a different kind of respect from Gaga.

"I think Zozo was in the Tower of Nativity." Shall I call for you? "

"Please."

I didn't have to ask the adventurer to call me here, but Ray could go directly.

Still, the adventurer said he was going to call me because he was worried about Ray.

Or Zozo, not Ray.

If you're Zozo and you swear loyalty to Ray, you'll want to make sure Zozo doesn't come to see Zozo if he has any business to do.

It was likely that the adventurer had imitated something like this because he understood it.

"Hey, Ray. There's no point in me being here, and I'm going to fly around a little bit." Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I hear from you. "

“Okay, I don't think you need to worry about Nielsen, but be careful.”

"Who would think I could do something about that?"

Hmph. With a confident smile, Nielsen flies somewhere.

Ray, who had missed it, was convinced by Nielsen's words.

If anybody tries to do something about Nielsen, I don't think they can imitate how easy it is to catch him.

If you try to capture Nielsen, there's nothing you can do about it, as long as it has the ability to get into the trees.

"That's right, you can do whatever you want." However, please contact me as soon as there is information that there is a problem. "

“Okay, I'll call you as soon as I hear from you. Don't worry.”

Nielsen flies away in front of Ray.

Looking at it like that, I saw the adventurer bringing Zozo.

Ray-sama, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

"No, I didn't wait that long, so don't worry about that." Originally, if Gaga had been here, I wouldn't have had to call Zozo. "

"Brother..."

Zozo's expression looks like he's sorry.

Ray shook his head to the side and opened his mouth after showing that he didn't care.

"So, the reason I'm here... is that the researchers who are studying the moon will be sleeping in the camp."

Really?!

It wasn't Zozo... but the adventurer who brought Zozo with him.

Do you know or don't you know what happened to the man who fell in the lake? Ray didn't know where it was, but either way, it was enough to be surprised.

"Oh, it's true. If that happens, you'll get involved with the lizardmen, so be careful if anything happens." Besides, in the winter, some people may sleep in the tower of birth. "

"That's... a bit harsh, isn't it?" The Nativity Tower is large enough to accommodate all the adventurers in the camp. However, sometimes it can be quite narrow if there is more to it. ”

"The birth tower broke along the way, but it wasn't just on the first floor, was it?" Would it be difficult to use the second and third floors? "

"I'm thinking about that too." Of course, it's an instruction from Master Ray, so I'd like to do everything I can. However, the Chief Officer of the Rizzard Man here is my brother. "

That means if Zozo accepts it, there's nothing Gaga can do about it.

(The adventurers who lived together seem to hate researchers and gagas anyway)

Given Gaga's character, it seemed to Ray that he would probably not accept that the lizard men would be disabled instead of accepting the researchers.

Of course, it is only natural to lead the Lizard Man who has been transferred to this land.

But as for Ray, I still wanted him to accept it.

"I see. Then, when Gaga comes back, you can talk about the area." If you have any questions, just ask me and I'll usually be able to answer them. If I can't decide, I'll ask Master Dusker via Elena using a pair of orbs. "

In response to Ray's words, the adventurer's man who was listening nearby twitched his cheek.

Of course, what Ray said was more surprising than impossible if he knew all kinds of information.

It's not particularly surprising that Ray has a pair of orbs, which he uses normally in this encampment.

No matter what other magic item Ray has, it's not surprising that he has a rarer item box than a pair of orbs in the first place.

However, Elena, who came out of Ray's mouth, is also a noble icon, the Princess General.

It was better not to be surprised because I was saying that I should talk to Dusker, the lord of Gilm, through such a princess general.

If the nobility knew about Elena's role as a messenger... or if she wasn't an aristocrat but someone who was intoxicated by the princess general, I wouldn't have to wonder what would happen.

"Ah... I didn't ask anything. Yeah. Leave that to me.”

If I say something here, it's all sorts of nasty.

The man who made the decision doesn't want to hear anything anymore, and he closes his ears saying that he didn't hear the story at all.

What the hell are you doing with a man like that, Ray?

As a general reaction, men are definitely more correct.

The presence of a princess is so special.

Naomi was very comfortable with Elena, and she used it to send messages... No, considering the large number of black spheres that came out of the lake, it was a bit strange at the time she was already using it as a message.

"Well, anyway, that's him." I asked for a message for Gaga. And... if you encounter any trouble, it's difficult to deal with Gaga right now, so don't push yourself too hard. "

To be honest, Ray wants to tell Gaga to stop imitating her like that.

However, the fact that I couldn't defeat them when I encountered them and could only imitate them to let my people escape, definitely scratched Gaga's pride.

Gaga was treated as the greatest hero in the land of the Lizard Man before he was transferred to this world.

Even so, I couldn't do anything about it.

It is not strange that the pride is greatly damaged by this.

No matter what Ray says here, Gaga won't listen.

On the contrary, it could have further damaged Gaga's pride.

"Okay, I'll let my brother know what Lei says as easily as I can."

"I beg your pardon.... Well, for the time being, I'm done here, and what can I do for you, Zozo?"

Asking Ray, Zozo tried to shake his head to the side... but he stopped the movement.

"If you don't mind, could you play a mock fight with me?" Fighting a strong man like Ray means a lot to me, too. "

"I don't mind that much." There's no need to act in a hurry right now. "

As for Ray, he was playing mock battles with various opponents.

That's why Zozo, who is loyal to himself, says he wants to play mock battles and refuses.

"Thank you. Now... we'll play a mock match over there, as they are free."

You will be guided by Zozo to a place not far from the Tower of Nativity.

There, several Lizardmen were training in battle.

It is easy to predict whether the area is large enough to be prepared for combat training, including simulated combat.

The lizardmen suddenly turned their eyes to Ray and Zozo, who appeared on the training ground.

What the hell is this?

One of the Lizard Man called out.

Zozo opens her mouth to such an opponent with a smile.

"From now on, I will play a mock battle with Lady Lei." This was what Rey-sama gave me special permission for. Others will not be able to participate in the simulated battle, but it will never be to Ray's disadvantage to see me in the simulated battle. "

With those words, several lizard men turned their envious gaze toward Zozo.

For Lizard Man, who has the habit of respecting the powerful, the simulated battle with the powerful must be so envious.

With such gaze, Ray faced Zozo in an open training ground.
