Legend

"So? What the hell is going on here?"

"So don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it." Actually, there was a problem, but I solved it, so Ray doesn't have to worry about it. "

That's what one of the guards said to Ray, trying to finish the story.

You're saying that you're not going to be hostile to Ray.

Ray wondered how he would react to the opponent.

I knew that the guards in front of me weren't trying to hurt their relationship, but I was wondering if I could just accept it.

"Mhhh!"

I turned my gaze to the man who was being captured by the guards as I suddenly heard his moan.

The man gazed at Ray and tried to say something in a disgruntled manner.

However, since you can't say anything by monkey, you can't imitate words.

“Never mind. We'll take care of these guys. I'm never going to bother you... and the people in the camp."

"Really?... then you can just take my word for it, but I don't want you to have the same trouble next time."

"Oh, I know. I don't mean to be hostile to Ray."

Judging from the appearance of the guards who were saying that, it seemed like they were serious, not just talking face to face.

I'm not thinking about fighting Ray.

With that in mind, we needed to manage this situation calmly.

Fortunately, Ray wasn't the one I didn't understand.

I hear rumors that he may sometimes act recklessly, but it's also true that at this point in time, we have no choice but to trust Ray.

"All right."

And as expected... fortunately for the guards, Ray didn't have to do anything more than that, so he pulled back quietly.

Is that okay?

That's not what Ray was talking about. That's what another man asks.

I don't think the other guards around here should say anything extra.

I guess, but if you ask Ray again, he'll need to check with Ray.

If you hear words here that are convenient for you and you don't actually feel that way as a result, it will be the worst result for the guards.

However, I didn't mean to imitate Ray like that.

That's why I nod honestly to the man who asked me to check.

"Oh, no problem."

The man who heard the words also appeared to be relieved.

I'm sure that's how you feel about not just being clear with Ray, but also not being in a situation of covert hostility.

If it was Ray, it wouldn't be that much of a concern, would it? I think so.

This neighborhood must be more aware of what damage they were taking when they were hostile to Ray, and how the people around them felt more so than Ray.

"I see. Then this is the end of the matter."... however, I didn't expect to be told to wait in the Gilm and come back soon. "

A man who says lightly that he tried to do something about the current atmosphere.

Ray nodded frankly, in line with the man's thoughts.

"Yes, I didn't expect the researchers, including Eugen, to sleep by the lake." The distance from the camp to the lake is not that far, so I think you should stay in the camp. "

"It seems that researchers don't want to use their wasted time as much as they can. The researchers I'm escorting are cutting their sleeping and eating time."

"That's no good."

If you don't have enough time to sleep, you won't work very hard.

It is the same even when you are hungry.

Even if I had studied under such circumstances, I didn't think Ray would have made any particular progress.

- Was he a cartoonist? There was an interview program on TV when I was in Japan, and when I was about to sleep, I thought that the best idea came to me, so I hurriedly made a note and slept, but when I saw the note the next day, I saw that it was not the best, it was a common idea, etc.)

In fact, what Ray thinks of, and what researchers who lack sleep and are hungry, are similar... no, they are not even similar in the first place, but Ray is forced to think that they are similar in the first place.

"I guess so." I've told you so many times, but if you're still obsessed with research, you seem to have completely forgotten about me. Does Ray know how to deal with someone like that? "

"Is that me? That's why I can only think of things like forcing you to pull on your arms and make you eat and sleep well..." If it's about a meal, why don't you keep a bread or a sandwich or something nearby so you can eat it? "

“No, I've done it before, but I didn't eat it at all because I was obsessed with research.”

Even if he is not aware that he is focused and hungry, his body should be hungry.

If there was bread nearby in that state, it wouldn't be strange to take it unconsciously.

"When that happens, we'll really have to do something about it."... Well, we can't keep talking like this, so let's just get back to it. I think you're going to be escorting the researchers. At that time, I think there will be many opportunities to get in touch with the adventurers in this camp, but please don't make a fool of yourself. ”

It is more a piece of advice than a piece of advice.

If the researchers' guards cause any problems, they say they might end up getting out.

Inside, it's a threat, and if there's actually something wrong, isn't there basically nothing like Ray coming out?

There were some guards who thought so, but when Ray was actually in front of him, it was not very obvious, but I couldn't deny it.

I see. I'll be careful.

The first person in the guard to speak to Ray answers.

I might think I was trying not to let Ray down, but from the side, it was clear that I was somehow bluffing in front of Ray.

That said, neither the guards... On the contrary, the adventurers in the camp can make fun of such a man.

If you were told to do the same thing when you talked to Ray in a threatening situation, that's not the answer.

"Well then, for the time being... what do we do?" I think we should take these people to where they belong, but shall I? "

I asked because Ray didn't have anything to do right now.

That's why I was exploring the Trent Forest.

Because of such a situation, it was Ray who asked kindly in a way... but the guards who heard that turned their eyes to the leader of the adventurers and the man in command of the camp.

The man who was desperately gazed upon decided that it was not tasty to abandon in this situation, and shook his head to the side towards Ray.

"No, I'll stop." I don't know if I'm going to be seeing you for much longer, but that's likely to be the case. That's it, we'll show you around so you don't drag your first encounter on like that. ”

That was a somewhat impossible explanation.

However, Ray only suggested that I show him around because he was free, and he wasn't really interested in doing it.

If anyone else wanted to do it, I didn't want to force myself to do it.

"I see, then I'll leave it to you." Well, I'm going now, okay? I guess we're done here. "

"Oh, yeah. That's right.... I'm sorry I put you through all this trouble. But I'm glad Ray didn't cause a lot of trouble.”

This is a heartfelt word.

If it wasn't for Ray, it would be subtle whether the guards honestly admitted their mistakes... or whether they imitated the adventurers themselves to suppress them.

Because he knew of Ray's existence, he decided that he could not imitate Ray as an enemy, and took the action of suppressing the idiot.

In that sense, there was no doubt that Ray was in the situation he was in.

Whether he noticed such words or not, Ray nodded without paying any particular attention. He waved his hand slightly and then left the scene.

Ray and...... and seeing Set and Nielsen behind him, the man entrusted to the camp, the leader of the guards, looked at him and smiled unexpectedly.

However, that smile deserved to be described as a bitter smile.

"You saved my life."

"Oh, thank goodness. What would have happened if we had been hostile to Ray here?"... I've seen it before, but what is it with Ray? Even though it doesn't look very strong from the outside, its strength is..... "

Many of the guards here are strong enough.

Because of such people, Ray's appearance... even though he's small, at first glance he doesn't seem that strong, he's actually much stronger than himself, and I can understand that the crimson rumor isn't exaggerated.

Of course, some people, like the man who looked at Ray and tried to eat him, could not understand the difference in each other's strengths at all.

Well then, from now on, let's make sure we don't turn Ray against each other.

The guards nodded to the words of the man in command of the camp.

If we turn Ray into an enemy, it doesn't seem like a good idea for either side.

Beyond that, Ray and I understood that it was best to be friendly.

"But, Mr. Flat, what are you going to do with them?" I can't say anything right now, but I think if I let them go, they'll cause trouble again. "

In the adventurer's words, the man in command of the camp... the flat shows a little trouble.

As the heart of the flat, I don't want to act with such a person if possible.

But no matter what the flat thinks, it was the researchers, not us, who called them.

That being the case, I couldn't imitate the fact that the flat would dispose of the man who caused the disturbance on its own, and the guards would do the same.

From the perspective of the flat, although it is a combination of the guards, the escort is in the end an escort for each researcher, and the chain of command is not one.

That's how many guards have a chain of command.

"Will you do something about it that way?" Specifically, I want you to say something to the researchers who hired them as escorts. Researchers wouldn't want to turn Ray into an enemy. ”

At the moment when I was studying the turtle, it was very important that Ray could capture the turtle.

Flat's statement that the researchers would not imitate Ray as an enemy does not seem to be wrong for those listening to it.

If the researcher turns Ray into an enemy, he can't imitate Ray to observe the swords he captured in the Fire Prison.

No, Eugen, who led the researchers before that, will do something about the researchers hostile to Ray.

If you look at Eugen and the other researchers, they are doing well with Ray, but as a result of their personal judgment hostile to Ray, you want to avoid making it difficult for all of us to do their own research.

"I'm glad Ray's here."

The words of Flat were convincing enough to convince the researchers.

However, if you try Ray, you might want to keep yourself out of it.

"Anyway, let's do it well from now on." I don't want to make Ray angry with each other. "

When one of the guards said so, the flat also nodded.

In this way, in a sense, it might be a compromise, but it would be a good relationship between the adventurers and the guards.

However, some people think in their hearts that they are not convinced by the expression, but no matter how they think in their hearts, if there is no such thing as showing it out, there will be no problem. In a sense, the flat people who are judged as such are adults.
