Legend

”Nh... this place... hurts!”

A man wakes up in a tent in a campground.

It's not my home, it's not a place I know.

Where the hell is this place?

I tried to get up thinking that, but at that moment, I felt a severe pain in my right arm.

For a man, he remembers whether he was happy or unhappy, and what he was doing because of the pain.

"That's right, this is... Tomatti, Tomatti!"

The man rushes around, calling his wife's name.

My wife Tomatti was there... and I noticed that both the guard and the shogun were asleep.

When I see that the chest of all three of them is moving and their complexions are not dead, I understand that they are only fainting, and I am relieved.

”Phew... I'm so glad everyone's okay”

I was relieved... but soon I wondered where we were.

Usually, I sleep in a bed... because I sleep in a comfortable bed, so I don't sleep in such a hard place.

I have laid down the cloth, but it is still not comparable to the bed where a man normally sleeps.

"I see, the carriage we were riding on suddenly... why on earth..."

The man suddenly remembers the carriage flipping over as it moved.

At the same time, I was able to predict where this place was.

"This is the camp we were heading to...?"

"That's correct."

“Who is it?!”

The man who replied to the soliloquy, which no one was going to let him hear, immediately shouted with alarm.

Here are my beloved wife and the guards and guards who have served my house for many years.

I felt that I had to protect everyone, not just myself.

To reassure such a man, a voice...... I can hear someone in front of the tent.

"Please rest assured. I can't say that it's safe here... but there are many adventurers who are quite good at it, including me. If anything happens, don't worry about it."

Is this definitely a camp in the Trent Forest?

"Yes.... excuse me."

In the voice of a man, the opponent on the other side of the tent nodded and entered the tent.

“My name is Flat, and I'm a group of adventurers in this camp.”

If Ray hears those words, are you sure you're in the flat? You will wonder.

Ray had a completely different tone from the flat he knew.

... but the flat is also a worthy adventurer.

I have met with the nobility, and I fully understand how to speak at that time.

In that sense, the flat was more experienced than Ray.

"I see. I am Grimm Earth Twice." He's connected to Count Twice's house. "

The flat reacts for a moment to the word House of Count Twice.

I think it was because I knew of the existence of the House of Count Twice.

As an aristocrat who currently lives in the aristocratic quarter of Gilm. And as an aristocrat who does not belong to any of the three major factions of the Kings, Nobles, or Neutrals.

Grimm Earth-sama, right? I see. So... do you remember what happened? ”

"The carriage suddenly rolled over as we were sitting here... did you guys bring us here?"

Yes.

While nodding to Grimm Earth's words, the flat wonders how to respond.

Do you know the mole, the fairy, the lizard man, the lake?

There are so many secrets in this forest of Trent... there are so many.

If you know those things and you've come this far, then there's no problem for the flat.

But if you've come all this way knowing nothing, what should you do with the secrets you need to hide?

Not to mention, you can see some hell of a flame from the tent.

When they see it, the flat doesn't know what to do with it.

However, I can't do anything more than carry it to this point.

If anything happens, you have to throw it round at the guild or the Duskers of the lords and open your mouth.

"At present, this forest of Trent can't be entered without the permission of Lord Dusker, Lord of Gilm... what about that area?"

"I have permission."

The flat is at ease with the words of Grimm Earth.

The Duskers gave me permission because I decided that I could think I knew the secret of this camp.

"I see, but why at midnight like this?" Was it necessary to hurry that far? "

"Oh, I heard there's someone here who helped our child."

"That's..."

When he heard the words, Flat remembered a lizard man who had caught a baby falling from the sky.

The baby had already been taken to Gilm in a supply wagon, but in my words, the Grimm Earth between the eyes would be the baby's father.

"The baby... no, I'm glad your child was safe." But then, wouldn't tomorrow be a good day? "

Perhaps he was able to save his own child... that's why he thinks he's here to rejoice and be grateful for his life.

But I should have come tomorrow, even if I hadn't bothered to come at midnight.

Or you can give a thank you letter or reward even if the person does not come in person.

Why did you come all the way here in such a situation?

That was the question of the flat.

However, Grimm Earth shakes his head to the side at such flat words.

"No, I had to go as soon as possible." Besides... it's true that I came to thank you, but apart from that, I also want to ask the person who helped her. "

"... what do you want to hear?"

I'm not just here to thank you for helping my child, I'm here for some other reason.

Judging by Grimm Earth's appearance, I feel that the flat has become a hassle.

What exactly does Grimm Earth want to do?

I didn't even know the flat was full of hatred, but when I thought of coming here at midnight, there was definitely something unusual about it.

"That's right. So who could have helped her? I'd like to meet the adventurer in person, would you mind?"

"That's..."

In the words of Grimm Earth, the flat is even more troubling.

Who am I supposed to take with me in such a case?

Ray took the baby from the Lizard Man in a safe place.

But Ray isn't used to dealing with nobles.

I didn't know about the flat, but if Ray were to negotiate in any way with the nobility, the marina would be there for him.

But I don't know what's going to happen between Ray and Grimm Earth if I imitate Flat here calling for Ray.

Then you're the lizard man who took care of the baby that actually fell.

But I don't know what Grimm Earth thinks of the Lizard Man.

What if you call a lizard man here badly and it causes a commotion?

What's the matter?

Grimm Earth gazes at the strangely confused flat.

I didn't think it would be confusing here.

"No... I don't know if you know Grimm Earth, but the adventurer who delivered the baby to me is Ray."

This is not a lie.

It was Lizardman who caught the baby falling from the sky, but it was Ray who delivered it to the camp.

Ray? Oh, it's a crimson alias.

I'm sure Grimm Earth knew as much about Ray as he did about living in an aristocratic neighborhood.

Ray is currently sleeping at the marina's house.

That means you're living in an aristocratic city.

"Yes, Ray, but I haven't dealt with many aristocrats." I'm talking to Dusker, but I don't really care about the wording in Dusker's case. "

"I see. That's what it is. But you don't have to worry too much about the area. I don't care about words, either."

When Grimm Earth says this, Flat can't refuse to see Ray anymore.

However, Flat was curious about what kind of conversation Ray had with Grimm Earth.

As far as Flat is concerned, Grimm Earth is by no means meaningful and does not seem to be a highly prized aristocrat.

Even if Ray meets Grimm Earth, he won't be dissatisfied with it.

"Okay, I'll call Ray." But... don't you think it would be better if someone else woke up? "

"I know how you feel, but I'd like to prioritize my meeting with Ray first. I don't care if you bring me here."

"... are you sure you want to do this?"

If you think about it normally, it's a problem to bring Ray to where the nobles are sleeping.

To tell you the truth, it's like taking Ray to the nobleman's bedroom.

If you just want to see Ray, that's fine for tomorrow.

(This is... a little smelly. Did the baby have something troublesome or something like that?)

Even so, there are many problems in the current camp.

Besides, I would like to refrain from bringing new problems into the flat so that they can be added there.

I want to refrain from doing so, but it is also true that I cannot say no to the nobility without a special reason.

If I say no here, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen later.

Even though the flat is a good adventurer, it doesn't have the power to protrude like Ray.

There was no such thing as being able to fight the nobility on my own.

"Okay, I'll get Ray right away." However, as you know, it's already midnight. Maybe Ray's already asleep, but... "

"In that case, I want you to wake me up if you can."

That's exactly what Grimm Earth says.

That was enough to surprise the flat.

Since you are the one who helped you, and the one who helped your child, you can see that the flat wants to say hello and thank you a little earlier.

But it was totally unexpected that they would want us to wake them up right away.

Are you serious, or are you insane?

I managed to put up with what I wanted to ask like that and opened my mouth again.

"Ray is tired because this turmoil has just ended. If you need anything, I'd appreciate it if you could do it tomorrow.”

"I know what you mean. [M] I also fully understand that what I am saying is out of common sense. But...... now that I know that, I want to see Ray."

Grimace's expression has a subtly unfortunate color.

Looking at it, it is clear that Grimm Earth is by no means a typical aristocrat in a bad way.

Obviously... that's why it was a different story to honestly listen to that request.

I don't know if Grimm Earth knows about this, but Ray won't forgive himself if he's hostile to the nobility. If Grimm Earth says anything to Ray, even if I try to stop him, it's hard to stop him.

It is a flat that is doing well with Ray, but the fact is that the flat understands Ray's personality and does not imitate irrationality.

If you try to force Ray to do something, you might end up fighting Ray.

That's why I couldn't let Grimm Earth go through that, so I had to ask Grimm Earth to do something about it as a flat.

But looking at the state of the flat, Grimm Earth didn't change his mind.

"Flat, I know you're worried about me, and I appreciate it. But I still need to see Ray a little early. So, I'm sorry, but I need you to bring Ray."

That's what Grimm Earth says, with some kind of readiness.

If you look at Grimm Earth like that, you'll see that the flat is useless no matter what you say.

However, it is understandable in the current conversation that the opponent in front of me is not an aristocratic aristocrat in a bad way, as when I first talked to Grimm Earth.

There was a reason I couldn't give in, and I understood that I wanted to talk to Ray... after all, Flat nodded to Grimm Earth's words with a complicated expression on her face.
