Legend

Huh? No... what am I supposed to do with that?

Flat looks at the baby Ray brought with her and says confused.

If I had made it flat, I wouldn't have expected a baby to come out in a place like this.

However, this is not a bad flat.

Normally, it's impossible for a human baby to come out in a place like a camp in the Trent Forest.

The Tower of Birth is nearby, so it's normal to have a Lizard Man child.

“What do you think I should do, no matter what I tell you?”

"... is this why the Lizard Man just came to call Ray?"

Grrrr!

For some reason, Set replied with a throat squeal instead of Ray.

Ray didn't deny Set's actions either.

In fact, the Lizard Man came to call Ray because that was definitely the reason.

If you look at Set's condition, it's true.

The flat also has a long relationship with Ray and Set.

That's why I saw Set and understood that I was right.

"That's what happens." It looks like this baby was taken away by a bird monster, or a bird that is nothing but a monster.... but birds are just stories from the Lizard Man, so maybe they were brought by something completely unexpected to me. "

"That's... good to know you're safe."

"It seems that the lizardman who was just there saved me from falling from the sky." I think he's a lucky kid, too. "

"I guess so. If it wasn't for the Lizard Man..."

The flat that said so much said nothing more.

Ray didn't say anything about it because he knew what would happen if I didn't tell him.

"So, this kid..."

"That's why I'm telling you." From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like it's just luck, but it's probably not a bad thing, and if it's a child like that, maybe the parents will use their power and financial resources to find it. "

"But it's winter, isn't it?" If only the baby's parents were in the Gilm, but if they weren't... we'd have to wait until spring. Depending on the power and wealth you have, even if it's snowing, it could come to Gilm. ”

It's true that it's not impossible to travel in a carriage while it's snowing, but it's very demanding.

Monsters that emerge only in winter are basically powerful monsters, and there is a danger that the carriage will slip due to snow.

There was no doubt that it would be very difficult until I came to the Gilm.

"It would be best if Gilm had parents."...... I'm going to leave my supplies with the carriage for today, but is that all right with Ray? "

"You don't have to leave your supplies in the carriage, but what do you do when you get back to Gilm?" Are you going to give it to the guards? "

"For now, we need to talk to Master Dusker."... coincidence or bad luck, I think it's like that anyway, but it's still the baby that fell into the Trent Forest. I think you should let it go. "

"Master Dusker? I know it's better that way."

Is that all you need to do?

Although he didn't say anything, Ray thought so.

Flat and Ray nodded repeatedly as they understood the situation from their conversation.

“We need to make sure it doesn't become a problem later. Besides... maybe Dusker knows something about this baby."

Oh, I see.

There is no doubt that he is a wealthy family child due to his baby's underwear.

If so, it is not strange to ask Dusker to find the child if the house is in Gilm because his child has been taken or disappeared.

Normally, I would leave it to the guard to do that, but if the opponent was a powerful person, the story would be different.

It was not strange to think that I might need to go out like that.

"Right? If we just talk about it, it won't be that much trouble." So if Master Dusker sees no problem, he can become a guard and keep it in an orphanage. "

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

"Whoa!"

As if reacting to the words of the flat, the baby who had been sleeping in Ray's arms began to cry.

It's just as flashy crying as it was when I received it from the Lizard Man.

"Hey, Ray, let me be quiet."

"What do you want from me!?"

If this is about defeating the enemy, then Ray will be able to act without any problems.

But it was a baby that Ray wasn't used to either.

Ray doesn't even know why he started crying.

Even if this is a child, it is not a baby, but a bigger one... If you are about five years old, you can give them dried fruits and baked sweets and stop crying.

However, you can't imitate a baby who can't even speak yet.

"In the meantime, it's not you or me." So... you're hungry? But what should I do? "

Ray's Misty Ring contains a lot of things, but it's still not breast milk.

Then we'll have to get breast milk somehow... but there's no woman in the camp who can give us breast milk.

There are a few female adventurers, researchers, assistants, but only those without children.

In the first place, if you have children, you can't imitate them working or sleeping in such a dangerous place.

"Hey, shut up!"

Ray, who was troubled that the baby would not stop crying, was suddenly yelled at.

Looking at the voice, there were several men who were smiling with a sense of superiority, instead of being irritated...

Ray immediately understands who these men are.

The researchers' guards.

Besides, those who had always thought that Ray existed negligently.

I guess I thought it would be a good time to attack Ray.

Previously, when I tried to get involved with Ray, I was pinned down by other guards... those who understood Ray's strength.

But I don't know what to do now.

Ray and the others were making a lot of noise... Actually, since it was the baby Ray was with, it wouldn't matter if I blamed him for it.

It was an act of thinking like that.

Or other guards... especially those who captured the men in a previous incident, would have tried to stop them.

But there are only men here.

... in fact, the men were neglected by the other guards because they were likely to cause problems, which is why there were only men here.

"Flat, what do you think they should do?"

This is how we do it!

While trying to stop the baby from crying, he asked the flat, but it was Nielsen who returned the voice, not the flat, but the hair that was buried in Seto's hair.

At the same time, the roots of the trees stretching from under the ground wrap around the bodies of the escorted men.

"Whoa! Damn it, what the hell!? Get off me!"

"Damn it, you think you can do this to us!"

"Damn it, let go! Let go!"

Shout at the men.

But before those men, Nielsen moved and opened his mouth in displeasure.

"You know, babies are about crying and sleeping." Why on earth would you say that! "

"Nielsen!?...... Hmm, the fairies don't know what humans think, do they?"

It's like sheltering Ray... No, I guess Nielsen didn't think it was funny to say the exact words to shelter Ray's baby.

Even though you can't move because of the roots of the trees, your mouth still doesn't stop.

As for the men, all Nielsen could do was to seal off their movements, but I guess he didn't think that it would be any more imitative to penetrate the body with the root of the tree.

In fact, I thought that if Nielsen attacked like that, the existence of the fairy would be dangerous, and I would damage Ray and Nielsen accordingly.

If I did such a thing, I might feel good temporarily, but after it was over, it would have interfered with the relationship between Fairyland and Gilm or Mireana Kingdom, and there was a severe punishment waiting for me, but the men didn't think that far.

Instead of flying my neck in the sense of being forced to leave the guard, I might fly my neck in the physical sense.

Hmmm, so it's okay for us to do something instead of Nielsen, right?

A voice that suddenly echoed around me.

The men turned their attention to the voice, as did Ray and Nielsen.

There were a few adventurer women there.

The baby is crying cheerfully.

And the crying was very loud, and the ears of those that were in the camp were heard.

That alone would not have been particularly problematic.

But the men who hated Ray were lucky enough to start making a scene.

No, it might not have bothered the women so far, but it was unlucky for the men to use the baby as a reason to attack Ray.

Coincidentally, many of the women who were now in the camp liked children.

What would happen if I imitated the child in such a way?

Or maybe if the men were overwhelmingly strong and could shut everyone up with their strength, then maybe they were a little different.

However, even though the men are quite capable, they are not that strong in the end.

Of course, Ray couldn't beat many of the adventurers in this camp.

This wasn't recruited by kinship, but if someone was chosen as a bodyguard by strength, that would have been a different story.

Or even if it is a fate hire, as long as the person is properly capable.

But the men are neither.

With that, the hostility towards Ray naturally diminishes.

"Ah, no. Nothing..."

The man who first complained about the baby crying to Ray couldn't say anything to the female adventurers.

I was trying to rephrase it somehow, but I still couldn't say anything when I thought about the adventurer women's gaze.

"What? If you have something to say, just say it." I'll listen to you. And if you can't say anything, just go away. "

Saying so, Nielsen waved his hand lightly and released it from the root of the tree.

"Shit, let's go!"

The man who regained his freedom at least touched his tongue with a great deal of resistance and walked away, saying so to his companions.

But... when some adventurer women kicked hard on the ground in such a man's attitude, the men must have decided it was not tasty to be here anymore.

We had to hurry out of the scene.

"Totally... so, Ray, what happened to the baby?"

The adventurer woman who drove the men back looked at Ray's baby and asked.

If I were a woman, I couldn't understand why there was a baby here.

Ray tries to open his mouth.....

"Giggle, giggle, giggle"

The baby's cry echoes all around.

"Um... what's the matter? Are you hungry? Or....."

"Hey, Ray, give me that kid."

Didn't you see how Ray was? The woman she was talking to said so and offered her hand to deliver the baby.

Oh, yeah.

Ray didn't know what to do with the baby crying in his arms, so if you're going to do something about it, I'll be happy to help.

Give it to the woman carefully so as not to injure her, let alone to drop it on the ground.

When a woman receives a baby, her body shakes slowly.

At the same time, he strokes his back and opens his mouth to calm down.

"Look, don't worry." It's safe here, so take it easy. "

"Giggle, giggle... ahh..."

At first, it was a baby who was crying even when being held by a woman, but when she was slowly shaking her body and stroking her back, the baby stopped crying.

Oh, oh, oh

Not only Ray, but also the other female adventurers around him raised their voices in admiration of the way they handled things.

I never thought I'd be able to stop crying so lightly.

"Please be quiet. If you shout, you'll cry again."

The other people, including Ray, shut up at the words of the watchful woman.

With that quiet, the woman keeps praying for the baby.

Eventually, the baby stopped crying and began to fall asleep, wondering whether the shaking was pleasant.

Looking at it like that, Ray was relieved.
