Legend

"Oh, this is the barrier with the new mithril nails."... looks like the first one. "

Eugen muttered in amazement as he saw the junction between two black dice and one captured mithril.

There are no more researchers here who have caused problems around this mystery.

One of the tents that Eugen and the others were using was tied up and rolled over.

You have the backing of an aristocrat. Can I treat the researcher like that?

That's what Ray thought, but if Eugen, who leads the researchers sleeping in the camp, decided so, then I think there's no problem for now.

"Oh, I've never used it before, but as far as I can see, it's not a problem. If the other Mithrill nails work the same way....."

It's not too far to go to the base of the people involved!

It was Nielsen who intercepted me.

While flying beside Ray's head, she said so with pride for some reason.

Ray didn't even know why Nielsen was so serious about this.

"When Ray's gone, I'm worried when I have to... but that's no choice."

"That's true. However, I don't think you'll have to worry about that, because if you do, Dusker will bring someone who can handle it."

To the best of Ray's knowledge, Elena is the only one who can deal with this situation.

With a track record of actually defeating Tsubaki, there was no doubt that I could rely on it.

Or maybe someone else Ray didn't know and had the strength to deal with.

"I hope so." I don't feel safe without people who have actually defeated it. "

"If you say so, don't be embarrassed." But I promise I'll take care of anything right away. ”

That's what Eugen said, not Ray as it should be....

Dusker-sama!?

Ray was surprised to see Dusker there.

I didn't expect the Duskers to suddenly show up here.

I know you've been talking to Grimm Earth for some time, but that Grimm Earth is behind the Duskers.

... but Grimm Earth's gaze was not directed at Ray, but at the boundary of Mithril, a little further away from Ray... more precisely, at the three pigeons captured by the semi-transparent boundary of Mithril.

In Grimm Earth's case, we came to this camp looking for a child and a ring.

I didn't think there was such a thing as a fool.

(Is it okay if I show it so majestically? No, I don't think there's any problem beyond what Dusker-sama did.)

I don't think the Duskers think anything and show Grimm Earth their weaknesses.

In other words, I should think that I did it for some reason, but Ray and I didn't know exactly what the reason was.

"Master Dusker... that's what I was talking about earlier... is it the black one?" even attacked my carriage..... "

Grimm Earth, who was watching the waxing, finally returns to me and asks Dusker.

I don't know if my words are right.

Grimm Earth looked like that, but Dusker nodded lightly without thinking about anything in particular.

"That's right. As I said earlier, this torrenting forest has been raided many times by the presence of a beast there." Your wagon probably came into contact with it. "

"With that kind of thing..."

Grimm Earth shows a regretful appearance that she can't stand it or is not convinced.

Fortunately, there were no dead, but some were injured.

Also, Ray did not know, but the horse that was driving the carriage was a horse that Grimm-Earth had brought up adorably from the time of the ponies, and there was attachment.

It was such a coincidence... no, it's unlucky to die, so don't be frustrated with it.

However, I understand that it doesn't make sense for Grimm Earth to shout here, and I didn't yell at Dusker from the anger or anything other than letting him scratch me.

Looking at Grimm Earth like that, I think Ray is unlucky.

(The child was taken away by a bird monster or something, and the ring passed down from generation to generation in the house was lost, and the family, the body of the escort, the guru and the like came into contact with the bird and got injured. The carriage was broken and the horse died.... I'm not talking about bad luck. Could it be cursed by something?)

Looking at Grimm Earth, Ray muttered.

However, I didn't imitate it.

If you say something like that and Grimm Earth gets mad at you, you're sure to get into trouble.

"So what do we do? Like I said, if you're going to be involved in this encampment, you're going to have to be prepared." In some cases, you may have to fight the battle....... but if Ray solves the case, I'll be quite relieved. "

A subtly slurred Dusker.

Even after all this, there are many problems in this forest of Trent.

Even if the case is resolved, one of the multiple problems will finally be resolved.

"I know, but... eh?"

It was Grimm Earth who tried to say something to Dusker, but suddenly it stopped.

That gaze was directed not at Ray... but beside Ray.

"Ahh!"

Ray, following Grimm Earth's gaze, noticed Nielsen flying beside his face and leaked his voice.

"Huh?..... ah"

Nielsen also understood why, though he didn't know what Grimm Earth was surprised by, such words leaked from Ray's mouth when he saw him.

……

Plenty of silence filled the scene for a few minutes.

You can hear it from somewhere, the sound of life.

You can hear the sound of someone shouting and calling out to their companions, the sound of monsters and beasts, or the sound of trees swaying in the wind.

It was Dusker who broke the silence.

"Grimm Earth. As you can see, there are fairies in this torrenting forest. Specifically, it would be more correct to say that there is a fairy village."

"... eh?"

Grimm Earth leaked the words "fairy home" out of Dusker's mouth.

More than a fairy, I might have had the idea, but I was surprised to hear you say it lightly.

It's fairyland. There are other lakes that have been transferred from other worlds, and there are other lizardmen who have high intelligence and can speak languages that have been transferred from other worlds as well.

Dusker tells the secrets of the Trent Forest one after another.

Still, I don't seem to be talking about the underground space in the middle of the Trent Forest that is connected to the other world.

As far as you're concerned, you must have thought you couldn't speak to Grimm Earth without even contacting the capital.

Trade with other worlds may mean a lot to Gilm.

However, since the nomadic Centaurs existed in that other world, it seemed like Ray would not benefit much from trading between other worlds.

"Um... Master Dusker, why are you telling me so many secrets?"

Dusker calls out Grimm Earth, but Grimm Earth calls out Dusker.

The difference in power between the two aristocrats would appear around here.

Although Dusker is the smallest, he leads one of the three major factions, the Neutral.

Also, even as a pure title, Grimm Earth is too different as an aristocrat from Grimm Earth, who does not belong to any faction in the periphery of the only one in the Mireana Kingdom.

That's why the Duskers are trying to bring Grimm Earth to their side.

"Now that you're involved in the Trent Forest, it's dangerous not to know anything." I can't deny that it could end badly if I only know halfway information badly. "

Considered the worst possible, Grimm Earth thought of his own child.

This time, I was taken away by a bird monster or something, but if there was a malicious person, someone who tried to intimidate Grimm Earth... the child would be judged to be an excellent trading material.

Given that, Grimm Earth is grateful to Dusker.

"Thank you.... I don't know how I'm going to get involved in this torrenting forest in the future." However, I would like to be as proactive as possible. ”

“I see. I don't know what it will be like, but I still want you to make sure Grimm Earth gets the best results.”

As a Dusker, I need your help with Grimm Earth.

It's best to be neutral, but I don't want that.

I would appreciate it if I could build a cooperative relationship without having to belong to my own faction.

"So, Ray, how's the new mithril nail?" From this point of view, it doesn't look particularly problematic. ”

I guess that's what I thought about talking to Grimm Earth.

I asked Ray that.

The new Mithrill nails are a mass-produced substitute.

That said, I needed to make sure the new mithril nails were working.

"That's right. As far as I can see, I don't see any particular problem at the moment."...... but I don't know if it will have the same effect as the Mithril barrier I used for the first time until tomorrow. "

Captured by the Mithrill barrier, if it means that it dies tomorrow, the new Mithrill nails will be firmly in motion.

Or the mass-produced Mithrill nails will be more powerful than the ones Ray used to use before... there was plenty of room for that.

I see. If you decide that the Mithril barrier is working well tomorrow, I want you to head over to the base of your relatives as soon as possible.

“As soon as you can? I don't mind.

“I agree with that!”

Ray's words were followed by Nielsen's.

If you go to Nielsen, you probably want to take care of the base of those involved as soon as possible.

In the first place, it was because Ray was sleeping in the camp.

"But you need to talk to Marina and Vihera." Shall we do it this way? "

“It would be helpful if you could do that. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Fortunately, Ray's words caught Dusker's attention.

In Dusker's case, Vihella doesn't really want to meet Marina, who knows her own black history.

Ray knew that, so he said he was going to do something about it.

"Okay, I'll talk to you tonight with a pair of orbs."... well, I guess that's why the Mithril barrier hasn't caused any problems. "

I want to think it's okay around here.

Saying so, Ray and Dusker turn their attention to the new Mithril barrier.

Many researchers, including Eigen, were already gathered around the Mithril barrier.

Wow.

Up until now, there were various Eugenes in the matter of the researchers who caused problems in one case, but they still have a strong interest in the new Mithrill barrier.

While looking at the impulse-driven aspects of what researchers call sexuality, Ray looks around again.

... and Grimm Earth, who had been on Dusker's side before, was also looking at the Mithrill barrier with interest.

For Grimm Earth, there is something to think about.

That's what Ray thought, but I remember saying that.

Dusker-sama, I've got Grimm Earth's carriage and horse corpse in my mystery ring, what should I do?

"What? Oh, no, I see. Will that be the case?... but that's not something I can say about it, Grimm Earth!"

Yes, what is it?

The Mithrill barrier... it was Grimm's Earth, seeing exactly what was trapped inside it, but as soon as Dusker noticed it, it returned to me.

"What about the carriage and the horse that Ray has?"

"That's... it would be great if you could let me out when I get back to the Mansion." I want to bury him properly if I can. "

That's what he said with a serious expression.
