Legend

One of the men from the village opens his mouth when he decides to camp outside the village instead of entering the village due to Set's presence.

“Wait a minute. No matter how much, letting people who have come all the way to the village sleep outside the village is also related to the reputation of the village. Was that your griffin? If he's not the only one in the village, there's no problem."

"I'm glad to hear that, but this griffon... Set is my tame monster, partner." Leaving such a set outside the village and taking it slowly by myself is not very nice, but I can't do it. "

To Ray, the villagers look troubled.

(Ooops? This is......)

Seeing that the villagers were seriously in trouble, Ray lowered his guard a bit.

I've been trying to pull myself into my village and think of something bad... I thought so, but I don't feel that kind of malice in the way the villagers look.

I understood that I was seriously worried about Ray and the others.

(However, just because this man was like that doesn't mean that other villagers and the village chief are the same type.)

Ray thought he was becoming suspicious, but from his experience so far, he couldn't easily believe the other person's words completely.

"I'm glad you're feeling it." But you can't let Set go into the village, can you? "

"... wait a moment." If that's the only problem, I'll ask the village chief. If the village chief says that there is no problem, the griffin may enter the village. "

After all, the villager breaks first and suggests it to Ray.

There are many closed places in the village.

That's for sure, this village was also a village that didn't miss the example, but that's why they came to the village... anyway, Ray and Set don't feel comfortable camping two flying beauties outside the village.

Even though it was closed, she still had a compassion for her opponent...... that's the man she was talking to.

"Hey Theo, are you serious? You know what happens when you put in a griffin...?"

The man who was talking to Ray had a gentle personality, but if it was the same for the others, no.

Some people absolutely disagree with putting Set inside the village, and the man who was talking to Ray... shouted frustrated at the man called Theo.

It was true that Ray was convinced by the words of his opponent.

Rather, it's not strange that people as good as Theo can't deal with something when something goes wrong.

“I know, but we can't let these people camp out of the village. Besides... check it out, that griffon doesn't seem to hit us even if we're around."

"That's..."

In Theo's words, the man who was speaking turned his attention to Set.

The sun is already completely dark, but you can confirm its appearance with the torches brought by the villagers.

In the light of the torch, as Theo had said, Set didn't seem to have attacked or roared, just remained silent.

On the contrary, what happened to Sete's circular eyes illuminated by the torch lights? and I was looking back.

He was a dissatisfied man, but when he saw the circular eyes of Set, he couldn't say anything.

I thought it was adorable.

“All right, do as you please. However, if the village chief says no, it's no good."

In the end, that was what happened.

"Well, come to the side of the village for now." I'll talk to the village chief.... so, what are we going to do about that? "

Theo's gaze was directed at Seto's cage, a short distance away.

Theo didn't know where to get such a huge thing.

However, even if there was something I didn't know about, it wasn't strange, since it was the rays who were carrying a high ranked monster called Griffon.

To support his prediction, Ray stores it in Misty Ring as he approaches Seto's cage.

"... eh?"

A giant Seto cage disappeared in an instant.

Of course, Theo and the others were surprised by the sight.

I don't think I understood what happened.

Ray is used to using Misty Ring, but those who don't know about it can't understand what happened.

Misty Ring... There are only a few Item Chests left in the world.

There is a mass-produced or degraded version, but it is also quite expensive, and it is not a substitute that can be easily seen by people in this village.

That's why anyone who saw Ray's mystery could only be surprised.

Ray called out to Theo and the others without any particular concern.

"Now that we're ready, can you show me to the village?"... well, I can see it, so I don't think I need to show you anything, but if we go alone, we might get attacked. "

"Huh? Yeah. Okay. I'll show you around in a minute. But... what was that all about?"

"Just now? Oh, mysterious." It's called an item box. "

Item Box?

Because it is such a small village, it seems that even if it is said to be an item box, Theo will not be able to pin it.

Looking at Theo like that, Ray thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"You can think of it as a magic item." Only magic items can hold such a huge object. "

"... I see."

I see, it was Theo who said it, but in fact, it was not that I understood Ray's words, but I thought that it would be good if I made it seem that I was convinced for the time being.

From Theo's appearance, Ray could understand it somehow.

Although I could understand it, I decided that I would not have to explain the details again here, and I called Theo.

"That's why I can't stay here forever, so please guide me."

"All right."

In response to Ray's words, Theo quietly guided Ray and the others to the village.

It was not so far from the village that I arrived there in sufficient time, but there were many villagers gathered in front of the village gate.

From the sound of the cage dropping to the ground earlier, I wonder what happened, so many people gathered in front of the village.

"Theo, who is that...?"

"Ah, Mom, I'm the lord of the sound." I want to stay in the village, so I'll talk to the village chief for a minute.... I don't think you need to worry about that griffon because it's so quiet. "

Huh?

A surprised woman called Griffon.

But Theo doesn't care how it looks, he walks into the village.

Ray and the rest of them are going to wait until Theo comes back.

In the meantime, Set, who was a short distance away, approached Ray's side and understood the meaning of Theo's words, which the woman who was talking to Theo and the others said were griffons.

”Eek!”

Some of those gathered screamed.

It would be better not to be surprised if Set came out of nowhere.

"Don't worry, this griffin won't attack me."... is that right? "

Surprisingly, the screaming men were the ones who complained about Theo earlier.

By seeing Set's circular eyes, he thought he was not hostile to them.

In fact, Set won't be aggressive unless he's harmed.

"Yeah, but Set is quiet because he can't do any harm. It's okay to be cute, but if you try to do harm, you can't be held responsible."

Set's... griffon hair is a very valuable material for an alchemist.

If you can sell it well, even if it is a few hairs, it will be an amount that you don't have to work for a few months.

Of course, the inhabitants of such a small village don't necessarily know what's going on around here.

But Ray thought it was better to warn him, just in case. But...

"There's no way you're going to do that." Griffin? Hurting someone like that is suicidal. "

The man said so in a panic, nodding to those who had listened to the story to agree.

Then Theo came back, as if timing had been right for him.

(It's pretty early, isn't it?)

Looking at Theo's figure, Ray thought so, but he smiled at Ray and opened his mouth.

"I got permission from the village chief." You can put the griffin in the village too. It's just that we don't want to cause any problems. ”

"I understand. I just don't know if you were listening to our conversation earlier, but Set will fight back if he can do any harm." If you think that's a problem, you shouldn't let us into the village. "

"No, no, that's all right." Think normally, even if you do harm, don't fight back, or you can't say it like that. "

Ray was surprised at the word he accepted unexpectedly.

Surprisingly, after Theo convinced the village chief to come up with the terms, Ray couldn't refuse.

What do we do?

With that in mind, Ray turned his gaze to Marina and Vihera... while Nielsen slapped Ray's body in the dragon robe, claiming that he wanted to enter the village.

"Isn't it okay?" It's been done so far. "

"I agree."

That's what Marina and Vihera say to Ray.

Although Ray and the others were allowed to enter the village, it was only decided by Ray and the others that they would talk. If we were to talk to the villagers gathered near the entrance of the village, would it really be okay to let Ray in? I have doubts like that.

"Hey Theo, did you really say you want the village chief?"

"Oh, I told you. I know what your aunt is worried about, but as far as I can see, I don't think they're bandits or anything, so I don't think you have to worry about them."

"That's... well, I don't think they're bandits, but..."

The woman who was talking to Theo turned her attention to Marina and Vihera.

One is wearing a party dress with a wide open chest and back, and the other is wearing thin clothes that look like those worn by a whore or dancer.

Whether you can see it once in a lifetime in a village like this... no, I don't think two people in such clothes are bandits.

... actually, Ray's dragon robe is also a very expensive magic item, but one of its effects is that it doesn't let the opponent notice, so people in this village can't see through it.

Right? Then you can't just leave the people who came to Corner Village as they are.

In Theo's words, the villagers can't say anything.

Or maybe you said that if it was spring or summer, you could camp outside, but it's winter now.

The temperature is also quite low, and there is still no snow around here, but it is not strange when it comes, it is such a cold.

I couldn't tell Ray and the others to camp outside the village because they were suspicious.

That's why, in some cases, we can't deny the possibility of freezing to death tomorrow morning.

"Okay, but if anything happens... make sure to deal with it."

I'll take care of it.

Those who were worried about Ray and the others ended up telling Theo that.

However, although Theo said to leave it to me lightly, if that happens, there is only one difference in strength that Theo can't help.

That said, Ray has nothing to say about it.

Basically, I'm not going to do anything in this village.

Just say that you don't do anything, and if you try to do any harm in the village, I will deal with it accordingly.

However, when I talked to the villagers, including Theo, it didn't seem like they were planning anything in particular.

Ray was the only one who could miss the other's plan because of his eyes, but Ray wasn't the only one here.

A marina that has seen many adventurers as a former guildmaster, a Vihera that has met many others as a former princess, and a set with a keen sense of griffon.

It seemed that there were no particular problems with either of them, so Ray would be relieved.

"Well then, come in." I'll go to the village chief's house soon. I need to let the village chief know what to do first. "

In spite of that, Ray and the others had no particular objection to entering the village.
