Legend

"Ray, Ray, listen... Ray!"

"... nh?"

Ray opens his eyes at the voice he hears.

It hasn't been that long since I fell asleep, so I'm never feeling refreshed.

What happened suddenly is not interesting.

Not to mention, if Nielsen came to wake him up, it seemed like there was no choice because there was something going on with him, but the voice he could hear was not Nielsen's voice, and it came from outside the bedroom before that.

Who the hell are you?

I was unhappy with what happened to someone other than Nielsen, but I didn't imitate yelling because the voice I heard was cut off.

Quickly dressed and leaving the bedroom, there was a flat at the entrance of the magic tent.

I went inside the magic tent to call Ray, but it still left a good impression on Ray, who was still able to stay in the lowest possible place.

The frustration of being woken up just after falling asleep subsides a little.

The serious colour of the flat's expression would have been great in this case.

"Flat. What happened? Well, you know, I'm glad Set let me through."

In front of the Magic Tent is Set, who keeps an eye on him so that no one enters the Magic Tent on their own.

That's how the flat got inside the magic tent, so it's not surprising that Ray is somewhat surprised.

"I need to talk to you." I told Set why, and he let me in. "

"Huh... then, come in." You don't feel comfortable being there, do you? "

If Set had given permission, Ray wouldn't have complained any more.

In addition, although I was in a bad mood when I woke up, there is also a side that was more or less calm due to the passage of time.

She was relieved to see that Ray wasn't angry... but Ray shook his head to the side.

"Thank you, but I need you to do something before that." That's why I'm here, but the aristocrat Ray helped...... Grimm Earth Twice wants to see Ray. "

"For me? Well, it's fine to thank you for helping me, but it's fine tomorrow morning, isn't it?"

"No, of course there is, but that's not the only reason." It seems that the baby today was actually a Grimm Earth-sama's child. "

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

It must have been pretty surprising for Ray to come out of the flat's mouth.

I was surprised but convinced, and at the same time I wonder.

"The baby was already taken to the Gilm in a resupply wagon, right?" Then why do you have to come all the way to the camp in the middle of the night? "

It is not strange that this only sends information to Gilm that he has protected the baby, and if the baby itself remains in the camp, the parents want to meet their children a little earlier and come to the camp in the middle of the night.

However, the baby is already in the Gilm and, as far as I can imagine from the flat, it is already protected by a person named Grimm Earth.

If so, thank you, but I don't know why you came to the camp in the middle of the night.

"I don't know the details either." But... as far as Grimace was concerned, I didn't just come to thank you. Grimm Earth is an aristocrat, but he's not the type of aristocrat Ray hates. In that sense, you can rest assured. "

"... who told you to wake me up in the middle of the night?"

Ray said that in a mean way, but his expression was strong and convincing.

From what I've heard from the flat, I don't think it's the kind of person I want to imitate.

In other words, there was a reason why he had to do it, and it seemed like he had no choice but to imitate it.

"Don't tease me like that." For the time being, I don't think Grimm Earth has any bad intentions towards Ray. Besides... if you have bad intentions, you can blow it up like it doesn't matter in Ray's case, right? "

"I won't deny it."

Ray said lightly.

If the other adventurers heard Ray's words, they would be stunned.

Or even those who yell at you not to insist.

Defying the aristocrats is nothing ordinary.

However, if you put it in a flat that knows the power of Ray, you know that Ray's words are not lies or grandiose, but pure truth.

"Isn't that right? That's why I asked you to do it."

"...... I can't help it. This is how I got up."

Exhaling heavily, Ray seemed reluctant, but decided to meet the nobility.

Inside the tent, where there was a nobleman named Grimm Earth, there was a wake-up call for escorts.

While Flat was calling for Ray, I was told a lot of things. Even if Flat and Ray came in, I was not particularly surprised, let alone openly vigilant and in a state of confrontation.

However, if anything happened to Grimm Earth, the target of the escort, it seemed like it could be defended immediately.

"Oh, you're Ray." I hear you've helped us, not just my son. "

"No, don't worry about it. I'm glad you're okay."

Grimm Earth didn't seem particularly concerned about Ray's language either.

The flat must have told me that Ray was such an opponent beforehand.

The man in the escort didn't seem particularly dissatisfied.

"Oh, it seems that it was broken, but that's also thanks to the potion, there's no problem anymore."... it was a pity that the horse died, anyway. Those horses are horses that I bought because I thought I was going to be a good horse. "

"If you leave it as it is, it may be eaten by monsters and animals, so I keep it in my inventory box for now." Same goes for the carriage, but I'll give it to you later if you need it. If you want to be buried, you'd be better off. "

“I'm sorry. I'd appreciate it if you could do that.... well, I'd like to thank you for everything else, but for now, let's get down to it. Looks like Ray would be better off with that, too."

It's not a bad thing for Ray to get down to business.

That's why Ray nods to Grimm Earth's words.

"I would be glad if you could do that.... I hear it's related to the baby?"

"Hmm.... let's be frank. Was there anything else there when you saved my child?"

Even if you say so.

Ray remembers when Lizardman deposited the baby, but he didn't seem to have anything in particular.

Ray knew that the fabric the baby was wearing was pretty good, but Grimm Earth wasn't talking about that fabric.

Beyond that, nothing else comes to Ray's mind.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I mean, Ray thinks so.

I couldn't find anything, but it was just me.

But it wasn't Ray who directly protected the baby.

The lizard man who left the baby with Ray.

Maybe the lizardman found something the baby was wearing... something that Grimm Earth was looking for.

"Flat, there was someone besides me who saved the baby, right? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"No... but do you think it has something to do with it?"

“I don't know. I just don't know what Grimm Earth is looking for. But if you don't know me....."

Maybe the lizardman who actually saved the baby knows about it.

Flat had a hard look at Ray, who asked out loud.

“What do you think we should do? Do you think we should go to the birth tower now?"

“I don't care, but if you want to find out what Grimm Earth is looking for, don't you think you should ask him directly?”

"I need a moment."

Grimm Earth interrupts Ray's conversation with Flat.

Grimm Earth's expression had a questionable colour.

"I hear it was Ray who saved my child. But as far as I'm concerned, is there anyone besides Ray who helped you?"

"That's..."

Show me how the flat looks like it's in trouble.

The flat doesn't know how much Grimm Earth knows about this camp.

Beyond that, it seemed subtle to me if I could talk about the Lizard Man.

"Shouldn't I tell you about Zozo and the others?" If we don't tell you anything here, Grimm Earth may have doubts and won't be able to believe us.... do you think so? "

"... I see."

After plenty of silence for a minute, the flat nodded to Ray's words.

If I did anything badly to deceive you here, I thought I'd lose my trust in Grimm Earth, as Ray said.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

From their conversation, Flat nodded to Grimm's prediction.

"Yes, but it's not that I was hiding it, it's one of the things Dusker told me to keep secret." However, if Dusker and Grimm Earth had allowed you to come here, they probably didn't have a problem talking about it.... but do you mind if I mimic you telling people the secret about this place? "

The flat asks with a serious expression.

If we hesitate here for a moment, we will not know the truth.

To be precise, the secret of this encampment to Grimm Earth doesn't matter.

But if you need to find something missing with your child, you can't miss it here.

"I don't care, I'll keep the secret as long as I can." If I know a secret, you can take care of it accordingly. "

The flat does not know what exactly the appropriate response is in this case.

I don't know, but it was clear that it wasn't something that could be taken lightly.

If you're ready to go that far. The flat opens its mouth.

"There's no doubt that Ray has secured Grimm Earth's child, but this is not the truth. I don't know if it's dark right now, but when it gets bright, there's a Lizard Man base called the Nativity Tower.”

"I want you to wait a moment. The Lizard Man? The Lizard Man is that monster? Why is that lizard man near this camp? No... maybe it was you who took her away..."

"Please calm down."

That's what the flat says to Grimm Earth.

It must have been a surprise to Grimm Earth that the Lizard Man was nearby.

However, when I heard that the lizard man might have taken the baby, I recognized that he was half confused.

The Lizardmen in the Tower of Birth cannot fly in the air in the first place.

Beyond that, the only way to get to the aristocratic city was to walk normally... or use another method.

Specifically, digging underground.

But Flat didn't think the Lizardmen had taken Grimm's children that way.

Or if you're a normal Lizard Man in the Nativity Tower... that's not a strange thing to think of.

However, the Lizard Man in the Tower of Nativity is not such an ordinary Lizard Man, but a highly intelligent Lizard Man from another world.

However, I didn't know if I could say that much.

Grimm Earth says you're prepared for it, but it's true that there are things you shouldn't know if you don't know them.

Then, whether you're ready for Grimm Earth or not, I thought you'd better try to mislead me.

... but if Grimm Earth wants to actually meet with the Lizard Man, it will come into contact with an unlikely opponent in our world, such as the Lizard Man, who speaks fluently.

“The Lizard Man's clan has a calm personality and does not imitate themselves to cause harm to others.”

Grimm Earth looks at the flat with a frivolous expression on his face.

(That's right.)

Ray watched the story as he thought he would react in the same way as Grimm Earth if told to do so in a situation he didn't know anything about.
