Legend

After lunch, Ray and the others moved again in the sky.

As it was nothing in particular, time passed... and eventually it was about 4: 00 p.m., and the sun had already sank halfway.

It was helpful that the enemy didn't come out, but it's still a little troublesome that the sun goes down early.

"Yes, but I don't think I can help it because it's winter."

When Ray and Nielsen had such a conversation on Set's tall back....

Grrrrrrrrrr!

Set suddenly throats.

Maybe that's not what the monsters are like, right?

Nielsen asked Ray when he heard Set's voice, but Ray shook his head to the side.

"No, that's not what it looks like from the sound of Set." Something else.... oh, that's it. "

Ray, who has been with Set for a long time, can understand the general meaning of the sound.

The crowing is not a wake-up call that we have found an enemy.

Ray could understand what Set had seen by flying for a few more minutes.

Village?

Ray finds a small village in the middle of nowhere.

"Huh? Is there a village?"... maybe it's a little out of the way to move. "

Nielsen did not pass near the village when he headed for the fairy township where spring breezes reign.

However, the fact that there is a village just beyond the line of sight now raises questions.

Maybe we got lost because it was a village we didn't have when we went through? It is not strange to wonder.

In the first place, flying is not a landmark, unlike traveling the streets and trampled paths.

No, it's not completely unmarked.

Rocks, rivers, lakes, mountains, hills on the ground... you can mark them.

But still, there are fewer landmarks than moving on the ground.

Besides, this time, if you are traveling by Ray and Set alone, you will have a slight sense of directional tone dementia on both sides, so it is much easier to get lost.

Are you okay?

"That's... I'm sure it'll be fine." If I have to, I'll do something with the power of the fairy! "

No, what's the power of a fairy?

That was Ray, but I thought it would be odd if the fairies could sense where their companions were and grasp the location of the nearby fairy township.

"I'll leave it to you... but it's just fine. Let's stay in that village today." Nielsen is fine with that, isn't it? "

"That's fine... but I can't go outside, can I?"

"I don't think so. If you have an inn, you can do whatever you want in the room." However, in a village of that size, you might not expect an inn or something. "

At the end of the line of sight is a really small village.

There won't be a hundred inhabitants.

On the contrary, fifty people... no, maybe not even thirty.

Even though it was such a small village, there was a good chance that there was no inn.

In a small village, even if there is an inn, there are few visitors and there is no meaning.

In such cases, they basically stay at the village chief's house, or they pay the villagers to stay.

For Ray, if it's that far, I'd rather have a magic tent. I didn't think so either.

"Shall we go down to the village for the time being?" I think it would be better if we talked about what to do in the village. "

Grrrr!

After hearing Ray's words, Set descends toward the ground.

"Put the cage outside the village." If I suddenly put a cage inside the village, it might confuse the villagers. "

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Set's throat throbbed when he understood Ray's words.

In fact, Set's descent is outside the village, not inside it.

(Is there a soldier watching the night or something like that...?)

Night watching is a must around the perimeter.

In addition, in other places, the monsters are alert to bandit attacks, so they must be guarded.

When this became a larger city, it was necessary to be vigilant against those who sneaked into the city in the middle of the night, or those who were leaving.

But what about a small village that is fast approaching?

There are no mountains or woods nearby, so you don't have to worry about beasts breaking in at night.

However, monsters such as Goblins, Cobolts, and Orcs are common outside the perimeter.

That said, it was definitely disgusting that there were no guards even in a small village.

While I was thinking about it, I let down the Set cage that Set had on the ground.

The sound of a sound echoed all around.

I placed Seto's cage a short distance from the village, but I was sure that I could still hear it all the way to the village.

If this were midnight, some might have missed the sound because they were asleep, but it is only past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Many people are eating dinner or preparing it, so they will never miss the sound of it.

(Well, I wonder how the village will react to this. I hope you'll be friendly if you can.)

While I was thinking about it, I dropped the cage, and when I reached altitude again, I dropped towards the ground.

When Ray descends from Set's back, which dropped to the ground without any particular problem, he walks toward Set Cage.

Ray, are you camping here today?

Ray shakes his head sideways in response to Vihera's question, which came out of Seto's cage before Ray arrived.

”No, not here... there it is”

Vihera turns her gaze toward Ray and confirms that there is a village there.

"Oh, you have a village." Are you staying in that village? "

"If there is an inn in the village, I will do so." If not... this is the worst magic tent ever. "

What's the worst thing about using a magic tent? It's like selling a fight to an ordinary adventurer.

Marina, who came out of the Seto cage after Vihera, smiled and said so.

In fact, the words are not so wrong.

When ordinary adventurers camp, the tents are the best.

Most people lie on the ground around the fire and fall asleep.

Sleeping in a tent is more pleasant than sleeping on the ground, but it's harder to deal with when you have to raid, so it won't be used until you have plenty of room.

After all, Ray's magic tent would be a very enviable substitute.

... but the Magic Tent can't see beyond the tent.

However, in Ray's case, he had a partner, Set.

Even if someone who is hostile to the Magic Tent approaches, they will not be able to do anything more harm to the Rays in the Magic Tent than Set.

"Hey, Ray. Someone's here."

Nielsen calls out as Ray talks to Marina and Vihella.

When Ray turned to the side of the village, there were certainly a few people coming out of the village towards Ray and the others.

"I guess so."... Nielsen "

"I know." If possible, I would like to have an inn. "

While saying that, Nielsen enters the dragon robe.

It wasn't in Set's hair, but in Ray's dragon robe because it was cold on a winter's night.

In the sense that it was warm, it was enough to wrap it in Set's hair.

However, I guess Nielsen thought the dragon robe would be more comfortable.

Seeing that Nielsen had entered the Dragon Robe, Ray turned to Marina and Vihella.

“Now, what do you think will happen?”

That's right. That village... looks small from a distance.

“Yes, I think there are quite a few residents.”

Marina nodded convincedly when she heard Ray's words.

In that case, you shouldn't expect anything from an inn.

"So, Ray's Magic Tent?" Even so, I'm fine with it. "

“If Vihera is right and you want to use a magic tent, you might want to go farther away from the village. It wouldn't be very nice for a stranger like us to camp near a village... and sometimes the village chief has power in a small village, so that's a bit of a problem."

"Ahh... yeah, I guess so."

A marina wrapped in a party dress with a large open chest that strongly infiltrates the shine of a woman, and a Vihera dressed like a dancer and a prostitute who can be seen from the other side.

Both of them are rare beauties in history.

And Ray's partner, Set, was famous as a high ranked monster.

If someone grew up in a narrow village as much as I wanted, I don't think they'd turn a blind eye to Ray.

If I can do such a troublesome thing, I would like to refrain from doing it.

With that thought, I saw the villagers approaching.

Although the sun was already completely dark, Ray could recognize the opponent in the night vision.

It was supposed to be a vigilance against the unknown.

Although some of the approaching men had spears, they were not very friendly, but they did not seem to be used to handling them.

”Oh, um... who are you guys?”

One of the villagers approaching called out to Ray in horror.

There was no such thing as harming Ray and the others. For the time being, she opened her mouth with relief.

"We are Gilm adventurers." I found your village when I was about to find a place to stay on my trip. Do you have an inn in your village? "

The villagers who approached Ray seemed a little relieved.

Though Ray thought what he would do if he were a bandit and lied to him, he kept silent that if he said something like that here, the other person might be alarmed again.

The villager who was talking to Ray opened his mouth in relief.

“No, I stayed at the mayor's house when the pedestrians came.”

Rika after all.

I was expecting it, but it would be subtle if I said I was happy with the prediction.

What do we do?

Marina asks Ray if he has an inn in the village.

Such a sight, if seen from the side, seemed to be eye-to-eye... A few villagers who had arrived looked at Ray with jealousy, probably in such a relationship with a beauty like Marina.

Although Ray was aware of the opponent's gaze, this hand's gaze could never escape Ray's action with the marinas.

I knew that, so I passed through that gaze.....

"Can you let me stay at the village chief's house?" Of course, I'm not just saying that. I'll pay for it. "

"Hmm, I think it's probably okay because something like this has happened so far..."

Despite what he said, the man who was talking to Ray turned to Set.

In his gaze, although he was trying to hide somehow, there was a color of fear that he could not hide.

If you knew about Set, you wouldn't be so scared.

But that's as long as I know about Set.

Specifically, the Gilm people who think of Set as a mascot character are a typical example of this.

But this isn't Gilm.

It's a tiny... tiny village that doesn't seem like a lot of people coming.

In that case, if you look at the villagers, the set of griffins with a body length of three meters or more is nothing but fear.

Even though I'm scared like this now, I feel a lot differently after spending a few days... sometimes just a few hours with Set.

But in this case, the time of the day is the problem.

Stay here overnight, and when it's over, we'll be leaving, so there's no time to get used to a few days of Seto.

"Alright. Then, I and Set are outside..."

Then we should do the same, right?

Vihella said it sooner than Ray said it to the end.

Marina nodded at Vihella's words.

“Yeah, that might be a good idea.”

Vihella and Marina said that because they thought it might be a strange inconvenience if they separated from Ray and stayed at the village chief's house.

With Ray, there will be few people who have strange thoughts because men are with them.

However, if there are only two women... even if they become extraordinarily beautiful, it doesn't necessarily mean that no one will come up with a strange idea.

Therefore, I decided that it was better to camp out with Ray... but the villagers were puzzled by how Ray and the others looked.
