Legend

The Lizard Man has a calm personality and does not cause harm to others.

Grimm Earth's subtle expression was that he didn't know if it was okay to believe the words.

No, rather, the expression that the expression is not subtle but frivolous would be more appropriate.

I wonder if Grimm Earth would yell at the flat as if he was making a fool of himself.

Worried, Ray pinches his mouth before the Grim Earth explodes.

“What the flat says is true. That lizard man has a generous personality... it might be a little different, but I won't attack him unless I put my hand on him."

Ray's description is slightly different from the description of the flat.

To explain this, the flat asks for a more gentle expression.

However, as for Ray, who knew Gaga, it was not very nice, but it didn't seem right, to have a calm personality, as Flat said.

And if you end up seeing Gaga with the wrong knowledge, the worst can happen to Grimm Earth who believes in it.

In that sense, it was Ray's idea that he should also talk about the nature of the lizard man, including Gaga.

“What's he saying, really?”

“As long as we don't do any harm, I'm sure you'll feel safe. However, there is no doubt that the Lizard Man in the vicinity of this encampment is a militant or respectful characteristic of the powerful.”

"Is that... really a reassuring opponent?"

I think the strength of the opponent will be somewhat affected by just respecting the strong, but basically, I don't need to worry about it.

"... for now, I'll take your word for it." So you're sure it was that lizard man who saved my child? ”

Ray

In response to Grimm Earth's question, Flat calls Ray by name.

You're the one who helped me, so you're the one who has to answer.

Ray nodded as he was pushed by the gaze of the flat.

"That's right. I was only called in by the lizard man who helped the baby, and I was just asked what to do." As a result, the baby was deposited in the flat with Master Dusker. "

“I know about that.... Master Dusker contacted my house right away."

"... by the way, how did you know you were a Grimm Earth child? Can I ask you something?" Babies basically don't make a big difference when they're young. No, well, I may have distinguished it because of the color of my hair. "

With that in mind, Ray looks at Grimm Earth's hair again.

The hair is light brown, the same color as a baby.

Even if I looked at it alone, if it was said that the baby and Grimm Earth were parents and children, it was reason enough to be convinced.

... but I was a little suspicious that the child was not affected by Grimm Earth's still stunned wife's light green hair.

"You must have judged him to be from my house by his underwear crest." As soon as she was delivered, someone came to my house to check on her.... but at the time, that wasn't the point. "

”That's... no, I guess I can't help it.”

I don't know anything about Ray, but the monsters of the birds and the sneaky presence have taken the child away.

If anyone had seen it, they would have decided that they had to follow it somehow, and if no one had seen it, the baby would have suddenly disappeared.

Anyway, there is no doubt that the baby is gone, so there is no doubt that the inside of the mansion will be a fuss.

In that case, even if Dusker's men came to check on him, they wouldn't have been able to contact him right away.

"Anyway, I wondered what would happen then.... in that sense, I can only thank Ray and Lizardman after all."

"I'd love to hear you say that, but if you just want to say thank you, it doesn't have to be today, does it?"

Perhaps it was not only the words of gratitude that called him to himself.

While understanding that, Ray said it for the time being.

It was close to a form of containment, but Grimm Earth shook his head to the side without particularly hiding it.

"No, that's not the only reason you called Ray." Of course, I wanted to tell her that I was grateful.... here's the thing. When my child was gone, there was a certain ring in the child's underwear. But when I came back, I didn't have the ring. "

Ray was able to understand the flow of the story somehow, but at the same time, he had a bad feeling.

Maybe we didn't mean to steal that ring or say that, right?

“I don't think so. I think it is true that the ring is an important substitute for our home. That's why we need to find it, no matter what.”

"If it was in underwear, it might have fallen before the baby fell, or it might have been a monster of a bird that took the baby away, but even if the baby was thrown away, it could have taken only the ring."

"I'm not saying no. However, I think it is more likely that the ring dropped together when I dropped the child."

That's what Grimm Earth said with a serious expression on his face.

It is very interesting to know what kind of ring I want to secure.

But I didn't think Grimm Earth would be able to answer that honestly.

(Does that mean the ring is a magic item? But if it's a magic item, why did you make it look like a baby? If you imitate that, then in the worst case, the baby may have died of suffocation while trying to swallow the ring.)

Thinking so, Ray asks Grimm Earth.

"In the meantime, why don't you go to the place where the lizard man picked up the baby tomorrow?" I know the area, but maybe I took it somewhere else. "

What Ray knows is the lizard man who picked up the baby at the place where Ray was escorted by the lizard man who came to call him.

Did the lizard man catch the baby there, or did he catch the baby elsewhere, move it, and then send the other lizard man to get him?

Ray and I didn't know what was going on around here.

In that case, the only way to know exactly where the baby was received is to ask the lizard man who actually received the baby.

"If possible, I would like to ask you today, not tomorrow."

"... why do you need to hurry so much?"

Ray asks casually.

It's true that he woke himself up in the middle of the night, but Ray didn't know why he was in such a hurry.

“Is there something on that ring? For example, it's a magic item."

“Yes, I don't know about that, but that ring is going to be very important to my family.”

Then why do you keep such an important ring near your baby?

Ray wanted to get into it, but I don't think he'd answer to that.

"In that case, we need to find the ring a little sooner."... by the way, is there any way to find that ring? "

“Unfortunately, nothing like that.”

Grimm Earth shakes his head to the side.

Besides that, Ray had a hard expression too.

I didn't think Ray would really find the ring in such a situation.

If it fell to the ground, it would be difficult to find it.

Or if it was caught on the branches of a tree before it fell to the ground, it would be much more difficult to find.

And worst of all, the bird monster that took the baby didn't actually imitate it for the purpose of eating the baby, but could have acted in desire of the ring.

For example, some birds, such as ravens, have the habit of collecting luminous objects, and the possibility of monsters with such a habit cannot be denied.

(In other words, in this case, including Dusker-sama, it would be a headache for the upper levels of the Gilm.)

Currently, there is no barrier in Gilm due to the impact of the expansion work.

Besides that, flying monsters can also enter normally.

It was thanks to this that Set was able to freely land in Elena's house and the lord's house.

There is no doubt that this time Grimm Earth's child was taken away for that reason.

If Gilm had forced the barrier, it would certainly have been a lot harder for Ray to do.

Anyway, if you want to call Lizard Man, I'd better go too.

Is that okay?

From the way things have gone so far, it was the flat's prediction that Ray probably would not agree with Grimm Earth's words.

However, in reality, Ray is showing a cooperative attitude.

"Oh, no problem.... I woke up like this once and I'm not very drowsy." and..... "

And what?

"It's nothing. I just thought it was okay to do that once in a while."

Ray, trying to speak the truth, rushed to deny his words.

This time, Ray wanted to actively cooperate with Grimm Earth because Grimm Earth wasn't the type of aristocrat that Ray hated... but it was more because he was interested in the ring than that.

An important ring for the Grimm Earth family.

I thought maybe it was some kind of magic item.

If you wear a ring, it will automatically work.

That's how Ray predicted it was because he had such an important ring near the baby.

For example, if the baby's existence is neglected for some reason, it is not strange to think of poisoning the baby.

If you had a magic item that would disable poison, you wouldn't have to worry about that.

In addition, the effect of the ring may be high if it is passed down from generation to generation to the nobleman's house.

Magic items that nullify the effects of poisons are quite common.

However, it was no surprise that it could not be disabled depending on the type and strength of the poison.

Because of the high effectiveness of the ring, Grimm Earth can be used on its own, and there is no denying the possibility that it made the baby think about and hold it in case.

(But then... shouldn't you think that the baby was given a ring because it was likely to be killed? It's no wonder you're an aristocrat.)

For the nobility, assassination is not uncommon.

In that sense, does Grimm Earth's house have a heir, or does it have a grudge, or does it have gold? Is there anything else?

Anyway, Ray wouldn't be so surprised if the kid was about to be assassinated.

But... it was also true that the only person I helped didn't want me to die if I could.

"Anyway, if you're going to look for the ring, I'll go with you." I might be able to find Set anyway. "

"That's good. Grimace, if Ray can get Set's help anyway, that's not bad." Then there's a chance you'll find the ring. ”

"... hey"

Ray unexpectedly poked into the words of the flat.

That said, Ray fully understood how sharp Set's five senses were.

It's not strange to think that Set might be able to find it, even if he can't find it on his own.

Even though he was a little concerned about Ray's appearance, Grimm Earth's face still had the color of hope.

I heard from the Lizard Man who helped my child about where it was, and even though we searched for it ourselves, Grimm Earth didn't expect to find the ring anytime soon.

But perhaps Griffon's Set was there.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something?" Of course, I'll pay you more than a rank-A adventurer with an alias.... I don't know if I can get enough money to satisfy you. Besides, Ray had a carriage to help him with. Along with that, I want to do everything I can. "

If you ask politely, Ray can't refuse.

If this was an unwelcome opponent, Grimm Earth was still quite a friendly opponent for the nobility and had no problem with his attitude.

In addition, the requested content is not so difficult.

Beyond that, all Ray could do was nod.
