Legend

Ray, Set, and Nielsen proceeded towards the voice, but eventually found the researchers running towards them.

"Researcher?"

Usually, it's the adventurer's job to bring along his loved ones at a time like this.

So why are you in this situation?

It was Ray who wondered for a moment, but I was relieved because I didn't seem worried for the time being.

There were three dice: two dice and a sphere.

However, since both sides are not moving so fast, there is no need to worry about being caught up if the researchers are running.

"This way, run this way!"

Ray screamed at the new mithril nail he'd received from the flat.....

"Hey?"

For some reason, the researchers run toward Ray, who doesn't have a screaming ray to come over here.

"Hey, over here! You can hear me! Come here!"

It was Ray who screamed again, but the researchers still ran towards the one without Ray.

Didn't you hear yourself at first because you were being chased by a stalker? I thought it was Ray, but even though I'd been calling many times once, I wouldn't have noticed it.

"Hey, Ray, what are you going to do?"

In an emergency situation, Nielsen, who had come from above Set's body next to Ray's head, asked.

The fact that the researchers were heading toward where Ray wasn't, meant that they didn't want to be defeated by Ray or captured by the barrier of hellfire or mithril.

I don't know why the researchers think that way, but Ray is lost to what to do in this situation... There's an adventurer nearby and what the researchers are doing? I noticed it even though I was looking at it like that.

"Hey, attack those three bastards and bring them here."

"All right."

I'm sorry.

Ray said that to the adventurer who took on the sudden request of Ray without any unpleasant expression on his face.

The adventurer says he doesn't care as he picks up the pebbles falling on the ground.

"If you move freely, we'll be in trouble." I don't know what he's thinking and imitating, but I don't want to get hurt. "

Anyway, the researcher's idea is that adventurers living in this camp don't want to be broken by bypass.

Even though there are spare tents, they are limited in number.

If the tent turns into black dust and absorbs it, the worst tent may be missing.

Sleeping without a tent near winter is suicidal.

In addition to that, if there is a cavity in the tent where the food is, it will not be fashionable.

That's why we needed to do something sooner rather than later when we were inside the encampment.

... if this was outside the camp, the adventurer might have seen a little more.

The adventurer follows the pebble in his hand.

So close enough, he threw a pebble.

The pebble went straight to one of the dice...... The moment I touched the black dice, it was absorbed by the black dust.

And the black dice that determined he was attacked turned the aim from the researcher into a man who threw a pebble at him.

Next, the other two turned their aim into an adventurer man with a pebble as well.....

"Hey, hey!"

Ray screams as he sees the researcher picking up the pebbles rolling on the ground, noticing that the pebbles he was attracting were on the way to a new opponent.

It was obvious what the researchers were trying to do.

"Chhhh!"

I can't help it, so Ray starts to stop the researcher.

However, the researcher has already swung a pebble.....

Alright!

Seeing the thrown pebbles fly in an ominous direction without hitting the ground, Ray smiles and closes the distance with the researcher.

Unlike adventurers, researchers don't have many opportunities to exercise.

If you are a researcher staying in a camp, you may have experience working in the field, but it seems that you are still immature in terms of pebble throwing technology.

"You idiot!"

Along with that scream, Ray hits the researcher.

The runner's blow... However, if you seriously hit Ray considering his physical abilities, the researcher who doesn't have combat experience will definitely die.

Ray knew that, so he took it easy.

Still, it seemed like a good blow to the researchers, and they couldn't withstand Ray's blow and were blown away.

(Did you do it?)

After beating up the researcher, I feel like that again, Ray.

I remembered that I noticed it after I beat him up... but most of the researchers here had the right backing.

In other words, harming the researcher means hostile to the opponent who is behind it.

Normally, I wouldn't be able to imitate a beating without checking the back shield.

... as long as it's normal.

It's impossible for Ray to exist normally.

As a result, Ray glanced at the researcher who had been blown away and fainted, and gripped Mithrill's nail again.

Like this is going to be the real thing.

"Bring me here!"

Ray shouted at the man who was attracting her.

Then I guess I heard that voice. The man runs towards Ray.

At the same time, although researchers such as Eugen also showed up, I don't care about you now.

(Maybe they'll complain when this is over. It's troublesome, but I can't deal with this.)

Given the dangers of fate, we cannot overlook the existence of researchers who tried to do something with that fate.

With slow moving speeds, easy target changes, and, most importantly, a barrier between hellfire and mithril, there's no doubt that you can cope with flames.

There is no doubt, but there is no doubt that it is still a very dangerous being.

That's why I had the feeling that Ray had no choice, even if something troubles him in this case.

Ray, you ready?!

When he waved his hand at the screaming man and showed that it was okay, Ray ran towards the man...... to be precise, he ran towards the rake chasing the man.

Shrinking distance between sights.

Ray exchanged his gaze with the man for a moment and lowered his posture. He pierced Mithrill's nail into the ground and shed his magic power.

The next moment, the Mithril barrier created from Mithril's nails succeeded in capturing the three hounds who were chasing the man.

(Apparently, the Mithril barrier has been successfully activated.)

Since it was a mass-produced Mithril nail, I was worried that it might not trigger well, but apparently there was no problem.

Relieved by that, Ray turned his attention to Eugen and the others.....

Hmm?

What was happening beyond Ray's gaze was quite unexpected.

After all, the researchers that Ray hit earlier are being held down by Eugen and the others.

For a moment, I was wondering if Ray's beating up the researchers might even lead to a protest.

But looking at this situation right now, it doesn't seem like he's trying to imitate Ray like that.

Ray, what do we do?

That's what the man who was attracting her asked Ray.

There is no doubt that the researchers had something strange in mind about the man.

That's what you're asking me to do with the person who did it.

... there's a little bit of anxiety in the man's eyes because I thought maybe Ray might kill the researcher or hurt him if he didn't go that far.

Not only the adventurers in the camp, but also the researchers who are behind them.

That's probably why Ray thinks he's going to ignore it and take some action.

“Don't worry, I'm not trying to do any harm.”

"... is that right?"

I don't fully trust Ray's words because he saw how he beat up the researchers.

I thought I had enough room to see what was going on around me while I ran away.

"Yes, and fortunately, there is a Dusker in the camp." Then let Dusker decide what to do with the researcher. If Dusker were you, he wouldn't have left the researcher alone. "

Dusker also knows that the researchers have backing.

However, just because I know it, I didn't think Ray would approve of acting like a researcher in this situation... to benefit the people involved.

If you imitate it, it will be bad for Trent's Forest... and bad for Gilm.

"I see.... well, that researcher has been captured, so don't worry about that now."

"I don't know what I was thinking of imitating like that, but it was a troublesome imitation for me. I hope you can do something about it."

"It depends on what Dusker thinks, doesn't it?" I know how Ray feels.... oh, here it comes. "

It was Ray who followed the man's gaze on the words, but it was not Dusker... but Eugen who came exactly as he said it.

Eugen looked a little troubled and confused, and called out to Ray.

Ray, you seem to be causing trouble.

"Oh, I've been bothered more than ever." The reason for this is obvious, not to mention what I'm saying, right? "

"... sorry"

“Why did you imitate me like that? No, I don't think I'd know if I asked Eugen about that."

"I can imagine why....... this is due to the lack of progress in the study of pestles."

"That's..."

I'm sorry, Eugen.

It's been quite some time since Eugen and the others began their research into the scarecrow.

However, this does not mean that some progress has been made in my research.

Ray knows what the researchers care about.

That's why I honestly don't want to be imitated like that.

As Ray tries to say something to Eugene, Eugene opens his mouth again.

"I know what Ray wants to say. That's what you say if you don't want them to bother you, right? I know that, and I feel the same way. But I want you to understand that some researchers still want to do something about it."

"... that's what I'm trying to convince you of?"

"I won't tell you to convince me otherwise." But I just want you to remember that there are some of them. "

Ray wondered how far he could go in response to Eugen's words.

When I said something here, I never thought it made sense.

"I understand the story. After all, it didn't hurt us, so I won't say anything more. Follow Dusker's judgment."

"I'm sorry."

Saying that, Eugene lowers his head.

For Eugen, this incident must have been completely unexpected.

It wasn't as early as early in the morning... but the Ghosh were still sleeping in the Gilm in the morning.

In other words, the researcher who did the work in this case will be the one that Eugen was summarizing.

That's probably why Eugen had so many thoughts.

It's tough, isn't it?

Ray said so in the sense that he didn't care, but Eugen gave a slightly troubled expression to Ray's words...... and lowered his head to the adventurer man who attracted the curiosity.

"I'm sorry for your loss." It seems that it has disturbed the attraction of the leaves. "

"No, don't worry about it." I'm glad we managed to capture them safely. "

Isn't that too different from what you said to me?

Although Ray wanted to penetrate the man, he decided there was nothing he could do about it.

For a man, Ray is better than he is, but he's still a competitor.

Or maybe it was a little more polite when I first met Ray, but it's been a while since Ray came to the camp.

That's why there's something between Ray and me... even though it's a bad expression, it's kind of familiar.

But not Eugen.

Although it has been a long time since I started sleeping in the camp, Eugen basically acts in solidarity with the researchers.

That's all, I don't get much of a chance to sleep in the same camp.

Not to mention the aristocrats behind Eugen's researchers, I don't think adventurers would like to meet them.

It was a different story for someone who wanted to get close to the nobility.

Happy or unhappy, men weren't the type.
