Legend

Ray, who had left Fairyland on the Set, was headed for Dusker.

I have heard about the general place for a long time, so I am not particularly lost.

The Duskers entered the Trent Forest from where they were felling.

As a matter of course, the trees have disappeared in the area where the wolves were cut down.

... there was a tree trunk left, to be exact, but it was definitely easier to walk just because the sun wasn't hidden by the branches.

That's why Ray asked Set not to get lost, especially when he was told to do so for a long time.

Less than a few minutes after leaving Fairyland, you can see a group of people moving through the woods of Trent.

"There it is, there it is, Set."

Grrrr!

Sete throat at Ray's words as she descended toward the ground.

They must have noticed Set coming down on the ground.

Some of them were waving heavily.

Confirming the appearance of Dusker, Brokers, and Isna in the group, Ray was relieved.

It was determined that there were no monster raids in the Trent Forest, and even if there were, there were no particular problems.

As he descended to the ground, Dusker was the first to approach Ray.

... this place is also affected by the torrenting forest, and its body is equipped with weapons and armor.

Usually, Ray met Dusker in the lord's hall, but even though he was strong, he could be recognized as a lord.

However, if anyone sees Dusker in the Trent Forest like this, it may seem like a warrior or a knight, but I don't think he's a lord.

That's all, Dusker was sure he knew he was in the right place when the battle would happen.

"You're here, Ray."

"Yes, I've heard from a long time that Duskers have come into the Trent Forest, so just in case."... it looks like there's nothing wrong with it, but weren't there any high-ranking monster raids? "

"Oh, for now, it's just a goblin." I don't think it's been that long since I've been in the Trent Forest. "

From Lord Ray's point of view, how dangerous is the forest of Trent?

Ray and Dusker's conversation must have settled down.

Isna asks.

... that's how much softer I was for Ray compared to when I helped him in the Trent Forest.

(At that time, I was forced by the Brokers, so isn't that impossible?)

We must protect the Brokers at all costs.

At that time, if you encountered someone like Ray, even if it was the person who was helped, it wouldn't be strange if your attitude became harsh.

"I don't know what to say." As you may have heard in the camp, Trent's Woods is just a place to be. That's why animals and monsters are fighting for their own territory. And because it's a forest, it seems like a good feeding ground. Many monsters and animals come. In fact, I've been attacked by a rank B monster before. "

Remembering the leopard with the wings, Ray told her so.

Isna's face twisted against Ray's words.

So did the Brokers, but Isna came from the capital.

Normally, I would never fight a Rank B monster in the Royal Capital.

Of course, I thought that I might encounter high rank monsters after this is the periphery, but I was still surprised that Ray was attacked by rank B monsters with the feeling that I had seen a little unusual animal or something.

Ray feels that encountering high ranked monsters on the periphery is similar to walking on the road and seeing cars outside in Japan.

... Ray lived in the Tohoku countryside, so I saw the car myself about on a school trip.

Anyway, it's unusual, but it's not unbelievably unusual.

That's what makes a rank B monster on the perimeter.

If this was a Rank A Monster, let alone a Rank S Monster, the story would be a little different.

Rank B monster... appears normally, doesn't it?

I don't see much of them near the street, but this is the Trent Forest.

In response to Ray's words, Isna turned her attention to the adventurer she had hired as a guide.

According to what Isna heard, the adventurer was in the Trent Forest every day as an escort.

When I thought about encountering such a high-ranking monster, I thought that the adventurer would be quite good at it.

However, the adventurer, who understood the meaning of Isna's gaze, rushed to the side and waved his hand.

"We're not that strong." You can't beat Rank B Monsters individually.... however, it's unusual for an adventurer to operate solo like Ray. Basically, a few people will act, so if you gather enough strength, you can endure the impossible to defeat a rank B monster, and in some cases, you can defeat it. ”

"I see.... I think we should tighten up." It's hard when I encounter high ranked monsters instead of the goblins I met earlier. ”

Basically, you don't have to worry too much because Set is here.

Ray called out to Isna, who looked nervous.

Is that so?

Oh, if there's Set, low-ranked monsters won't come near us.

"... no, the problem is the high ranked monsters."

Isna said, dumbfounded by Ray's words.

If I were Isna, I would be confident that if I encountered a low-ranking monster, I would be able to do something about it.

But what happens if a high ranked monster comes out?

You may be able to fight, but if you can protect the Brokers while fighting, that's difficult.

"When high rank monsters come out, me and Set will take care of them." And the weak monster didn't come after Set. That shouldn't be a problem, right? "

"That's..."

You thought Ray's words made sense, but Isna couldn't say anything more.

However, Ray didn't just say this to make Isna focus on escorting her...

In Ray's case, getting magic stones from battling high ranked monsters was something I wanted.

Since it could be strengthened by Beast Magic, it was only natural for Ray to think like that.

“Do you understand me?... if that's all right with you for now, let's move on. I couldn't let him wait. Besides, if it's transferring, I need to go out."

At first glance, I heard that when Ray was not in the fairy village, if the leaves were transferred, the fairy who was confident in the speed of flying would run the message.

But naturally, if you can, you don't have to do that.

That's why Ray wanted to return to Fairyland a little early.

(Perhaps I could have used the cage to move if I knew that the chief would be able to sense Duskers coming.)

Not far from the fairy town, there is also a place where you can land in a set cage.

If we had put the Duskers on the Seto Cage, we would have reduced the travel time considerably.

It didn't make sense to think about that now.

"Hmm. We should talk about this a little sooner." Let's hurry. "

That's what the Brokers say.

Isna gave such a subtle expression to the Brokers.

There is no doubt that the Brokers want to take care of the matter a little sooner.

But at the same time, I had no doubt that I wanted to go to Fairyland.

When I said it, it tasted so bad that it was just a subtle expression.

Well then, let's go....... Ray, I'm sorry, but I need an escort. "

"Okay, don't worry, there's Set."... our fighting power is high, too. "

There was no doubt that both the adventurer and Isuna had the right skills.

There were several other Knights Guard.

Even if a few enemies attacked me, I was sure that I had enough strength to win with ease.

That's where Ray and Set joined us.

There is no doubt that the strength of this party is in some way too much to be powerful.

Even so, I didn't know when a high ranked monster would appear in the Trent Forest on the edge.

(Well, I hope you don't come out with any miscellaneous fish if you can. It's a hassle to take the time to fight.)

Thinking like that, Ray accompanied Set and escorted the Duskers through the forest of Trent.

The Knights of the Guard wouldn't normally be used to fighting in a place like this... but it's just the Knights of the Gilm on the fringes, and I'm not as good at fighting in a place like this as the average Knights.

While walking, quickly check the surroundings and be alert to any incoming enemies.

... Actually, I don't need to worry about that part of the world because I have Set in the sense of scouting.

However, although Set's five and six senses are very sharp, they are not absolute.

There may be enemies inside Set's alert in some way, so it's never pointless for anyone but Set to be alert to what's going on around them.

There is no doubt that it is unlimited and meaningless.

Grr

and Set suddenly throat.

Isna reacted to Set's reaction with hypersensitivity.

“Rest assured, I was just telling you that the monsters felt Set's sign and ran away.”

"I see.... I hope so."

Isna exhaled at Ray's words.

As for Isna, I don't know how much to believe Ray's words.

Isna had met high ranked adventurers and aliases, but she had never met an opponent who seemed to be taming Griffon.... in the first place, there weren't so many Tamers or Summon Magicians, so I had no choice.

However, the public knowledge of Ray's existence has increased the number of people who want Tamer.

Though it might be difficult to increase the number of Taems explosively because they differ from one person to another... it's certainly true that the number of Taems has increased proportionately.

However, such tamers can only obey animals and low-ranked monsters at best.

Even if Isna meets such an opponent, it won't be so easy to learn the true power of Tamer.

Well then, let's go.

Seeing Isna convinced herself, Ray tells Dusker so.

Dusker wants to head to Fairyland as soon as possible, so I'm not going to do the opposite here.

As you continue through the woods of Trent.....

I knew it would be nice to have Set.

The guide's adventurer muttered with a smudge.

In terms of the guide, there was Ray who knew exactly where the fairy township was, so he was now treated more like an escort adventurer than a guide.

However, even though I was frequently in the Trent Forest as an escort for Tsubaki, it was clear that Seto's presence was reducing the number of monster raids.

Even though I was approaching a certain distance, there were many monsters... or animals that ran away from the presence of Set.

The adventurer must have sensed it and admired it.

Ray came to see how things were going even when there was a wolf, and there were animals and monsters that ran away when they sensed Set's presence.

However, by acting together in this way, you can feel more difference.

It was a sign that the adventurer could be recognized by the guild to serve as an escort in the Trent Forest as the animals and monsters retreated.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Noticing that the adventurer was looking at himself with admiration, Ray asked.

However, the adventurer opened his mouth calmly to Ray.

No, I thought it would be a lot easier with Ray and Set in the Trent Forest.

I don't think it's me, I think it's Set.

"It's Ray who's taming the set, isn't it? Well, that's what Ray was capable of. If Set doesn't recognize Ray's prowess, do you think Griffon would obey Ray quietly?... no, I think I'll obey."

You think you're gonna follow me? A man who quickly changes his mind while asking.

If you look at Set, who is treated like a pet in Gilm, and if you consider his friendly personality, then wondering if it's possible to be a Gilm mascot without Ray?

He was the man I thought he was.
