Legend

"Oh, Ray. What's wrong? Have you made any progress on this matter?"

Eugen, who was observing the dice and the sphere in the prison of fire on the side of the camp, said that when he saw Rei.

There was nothing in the lake's prison of fire, and if I dared to say something different, it was that the red slime was somehow on the side of the prison of fire.

Fortunately, there was no hostile escort against Ray, and he attacked the red slime halfway. It was a situation that should be described as peaceful, and Ray came here with relief when he saw it.

"Nothing in particular."...... but I thought you could look at the lake, but you guys can look at it normally. "

Rey was a little stunned at Eugen.

Being stunned is a disgusting existence just by looking at it.

As long as Ray was fighting for a short time, I didn't want to keep watching him for a long time.

If you know, for example, what makes you disgusted, you can do something about it.

However, the disgust that I feel is instinctive, and there is no particular reason for it.

In other words, even if you try to deal with that disgust, you can't do anything about it.

Or magic, skill, or magic items, but unfortunately Ray doesn't have the means to do that.

Researchers have been watching this for a long time... that's why they keep watching for an hour or two without pain.

Ray even wants you to be honest about how he handles his aversion.

However, Eugene didn't particularly notice Ray's words and shook his head to the side.

“There's nothing special about it. I just have to be patient even if I'm disgusted."

"... that's... again..."

What came out of Eugen's mouth was unexpected to Ray... and at the same time convincing.

If you're disgusted, just put up with it.

I guess that's what you're talking about.

However, if he asked if he could put up with his disgust, Ray would shake his head to the side.

"So, after all, why did Ray come here?" It looks like Set and Nielsen aren't here. "

As Eugen says, there is currently no sign of Set and Nielsen near Ray.

Nielsen told me he didn't feel comfortable coming from the lake.

I didn't seem to care that much when I met the researcher on the side of the lake, but why didn't you want to go here?

Ray doesn't know why.

Anyway, because I didn't want to come here, Ray couldn't force me to bring it, so I had to do something else.

If this wasn't where Eugene was, but farther away...... if it was where they were, or going to the Gilm, Nielsen wouldn't have acted with Ray.

In addition, Set didn't have any particular reason, and somehow wanted to look around, so we acted differently.

"I don't know, Nielsen doesn't really like you guys... researchers." I don't think I'm going to get involved with the researchers. "

"Hmm, well, I would have liked to hear a few more things if I could." But, well, if that's what you're going to say, then let's not touch it now. "

Saying that, Eugen shows a bit of a disappointment.

Eugen was interested in the fairies and the fairies, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in the fairies.

Ray knew that, but he couldn't force Nielsen to come here.

The Nielsen case is slowly repairing the relationship.

"Nothing to fix... no, I guess we didn't like what we were doing."

I guess. That's why I'm the only one left.

"I understand what you're saying, but you're here to see how things are going?"

In Eugen's words, I think I haven't told you why I'm still here, so I'll tell you what happened.

"What...?"

Then Ray explained... that the fairies coming from other fairy towns had a place that seemed to be one of the bases of the people concerned, that I sent Nielsen there once to investigate various things, and that there were several other fairy towns... I heard such words from Eugene's mouth.

If you look at Eigen, who has a strong interest in hunting, the hub of the hunting staff may be a place with a lot of detailed information about hunting.

That's why I wanted to go, even if I didn't.

But Ray opens his mouth as if he were controlling Eugen's advance.

I'm telling you, I'm not going to take you with me if I'm actually going to take over the base.

Why is that!

One cup.

The words that came out of Rey's mouth were not something that Eugen could endure.

Eugene thought that the relationship with Ray should be made friendly, but for such Eugene, Ray's words were unbearable.

The loudness of the voice is enough to attract the gaze of other researchers, assistants, and escorts who were observing the scorpions captured in the prison of fire.

"For whatever reason, you are a researcher, so you will not be able to act with us on physical ability issues." What if you get killed in battle? "

"Rather than that, it's just strange information now!" Even if I suffer some kind of damage, I should take you seriously now! ”

In Eugen's case, it seems that even if you get injured, if you can get more important information, you should give it priority.

Ray could understand what Eugen wanted to say, but it didn't taste good to actually take him to a place that would be a battlefield.

"I'm not saying I'm not going to give you the information I got at the base. As it stands, the researcher who knows best is Eugen. Besides that, I'll definitely give Eugen the information I got from the base.... can you hold on to that?"

"That's..."

Ray's words calmed the rage in Eugen.

From what I said earlier, I thought that the information at the base would not be given to Eugen.

However, I was able to calm down to some extent if I was told to give you the information I got.

But... given the current situation, I can't even nod honestly.

"I understand the story. But what if there's some information hidden in the base and Ray can't find it...?"

That was my biggest concern with Eugen.

As for Ray's prowess, I can fully understand it with my track record so far...... which is only known.

I can understand, but adventurers and researchers have different abilities.

I can't deny the possibility that Ray has something hidden from him.

That's why Eugene insists that he should go with Ray.

"I know what Eugen wants to say. I know... but I still can't do it."

When it becomes the base of the interested party, I don't know what kind of opponent is waiting for me there.

Besides being said to destroy the continent if you do badly, you can't deny the possibility that there is something that even Ray can't handle.

What would happen if we were to protect Eugen in the battle against such a presence?

Not only Ray, but I think I can protect you more than Set.

Or if you get the defensive golem Ray asked for in advance, you can't deny it.

But... that's all it could be, and in some cases, there was a good chance that Eugen would die.

If Eugen is present when raiding an enemy base, his legs will be completely pulled back.

Acting together to the vicinity of the base does not mean that Eugen will have to wait elsewhere when attacking the base.

However, if that happened, I could not deny the possibility that Eugen alone would be targeted by those involved.

"I can't."

Say that again to Eugen.

It was Eugen who seemed to want to say something back, but even if it was such Eugen, if Ray said it was impossible again, there was no way to argue.

But... then, after a minute of silence, Eugen reopens his mouth.

"I'm not telling you to escort Ray." As you know, I have my own escort. You can even ask such people to protect you. "

Eugen's words must have come up with something.

That's all, the guards listening to Eugen couldn't conceal their surprise at being suddenly swayed by their own story.

From the flow of the story, if Ray is nodding to Eugen's words now, he probably understands that he needs to go with them to the nearest base of his friends.

That's why Eugene's guards turn their attention to Ray.

I want you to say no if you can.

Such guards' thoughts come true.

Ray still shook his head at Eugene's words.

"Even if you do, you're going to get close to the base of the murderer." It's better to keep the number of people as small as possible. "

Normally, it would be better to have more strength when encountering unknown beings.

If that happens, you can deal with it normally, even if something happens.

But when it comes to Ray, the story is different.

Ray was a very powerful fighter on his own, and his follower Set was an equally powerful monster.

And both of them have the ability to master a lot of magic and skills.

If Ray and Set encounter an unknown presence, it's highly likely they'll be able to deal with it.

Or if Ray and Set were out of control, they could use a means to get on and escape.

But what would happen if Eugen were there at that time?

Or Eugene's assistants and guards.

I decided that Ray couldn't win and ran away, so I naturally took Eugen and the others... I couldn't afford to carry them in a cage.

When that happens, Ray will definitely abandon us.

If it's as small as Nielsen, we might be able to escape together by putting it in a dragon robe.

When I was told about it, Eugen couldn't say anything this time.

If this is an enemy with some information, even if it's a high ranked monster, rather than an unknown being like a fox who has almost no idea yet, it's going to be slightly different.

That's all there is to it.

"Do you understand me? I can't take Eugen with me. Instead, I promise that I will gradually bring you some documents and such."

This was also unique to Ray.

If you were an ordinary adventurer and not Ray, you wouldn't be able to imitate them by bringing the various things they used as bases.

For example, if there is a cupboard, you will need a carriage to carry it.

Even in such a situation, Ray's case is different.

If you put it in a misty ring, you can easily carry one or two of the cupboards.

In that sense, even if there is some hidden information in the base, it is very unlikely that it will be missed.

... but it would be difficult to bring back documents in the hidden shelves on the wall.

Nevertheless, when it comes to information, it was more likely to be available.

If you try Rey, you'll have to give up on Eugen somehow, so if any more words are meaningless, I'll look at Eugen to show it.

Even though he was wearing a dragon robe hood, Eugen could still understand the sharpness of Ray's gaze.

Or if the pressure on his gaze was a little lower... or if it was someone else instead of Ray, Eugen could have been more aggressive.

Eugen was so eager to insist on his own intentions with Ray.

I knew it was Ray... but given the danger, I couldn't back down here.

Eugen, who was gazed at by such a Ray, nodded at Ray's words, although he was not at all convinced.

In addition, Eugen's assistants and escorts who were watching Eugen's condition were relieved.
