Legend

The day after the bandits were defeated, Ray finished his breakfast and left the village chief's house.

Heading for the man who's fallen a little way from Set.

Tied up and still stunned.

(You're not fainting, you're sleeping?... no, I don't think so.)

Soon Ray denies his opinion.

Because last night, when Ray hit the pigeon's tail to stun the man, he remembered that he had a few broken ribs as well as the pigeon's tail because he missed a little.

Once you wake up from a stun, it's not impossible to fall asleep due to pain... but it's definitely difficult.

I didn't think it was going to be the situation ahead of Ray's gaze.

Well then, I'll wake up the bandits, okay?

It was the village chief that Ray asked for confirmation.

Aside from the village chief, there were also men who weren't necessarily guards... but who still acted as vigilantes in the village.

Among them was Theo, who suggested that it was okay to let Ray and the others into the village, and the person who was guarding the entrance of the village when Ray and Marina returned from the bandit crusade yesterday.

Please.

Nodding to the village chief's words, Ray pushed a particularly painful spot inside the stunned man's back.

"Giggle! It hurts... eh?" What is this, ahhh, it hurts... it hurts so much!? "

At first, he was a man who screamed at the pain in his back, but when the pain in his back disappeared, he started screaming at the pain in his broken ribs.

Looks like you're awake.

"Gu... eh... this is..."

After somehow the pain had healed, the man noticed Ray's presence.

I didn't realize it was Ray at first, and I didn't realize why I was in such a situation in the first place, but I still remembered what kind of situation I was in a little bit.

Ray watches the man as he takes the death size out of the mystery for a visual effect and turns it toward the man.

"You seem to understand what kind of situation you are in."... so, what do you think is going to happen to you? "

……

Ray asked, but the man couldn't say anything before he saw the tip of the death size thrust in front of him.

No, it's not just the bandit men who are surprised and can't say anything.

The other faces, including the village chief, saw Ray's death size and couldn't say anything about the huge blade.

Unaware of his surroundings, Ray continued to speak to the man in front of him.

“What's the matter? Not saying anything means accepting my killing here?”

That's not true!

If you stay like this, you will definitely be killed.

The man who made the decision was swallowed and forced to shout.

At that time the broken ribs were damaged, but now it was necessary to cry out that I did not want to die a little earlier.

"I see. Then..."

After hearing what the man said, Ray raises his death size.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Please don't kill me, please, please, please... Mom, aaaaaaaaaa!"

Slash, slash.

Without paying attention to the tears, runny nose, and the man screaming with saliva, Ray waved his death size.

Some of the villagers around thought that men would be killed. But...

"No, ahhhhh, help me ahhhhhhhhhhh... ehhhh?"

He was a man who screamed, but he looked around wondering if he was not dead.

Ray's death size was definitely shaken.

Why is it that I live with no problems at all?

Could it be that he's actually dead?

While thinking so, I touched my neck and noticed.

The robe that tied you up earlier is nowhere to be found.

"Um... that?"

"Thank the village chief." The punishment the village chief inflicted on you was to expel you from the village. "

"... eh?"

I thought Ray's words were unbelievable, but I saw what was happening around me.

The only people there are the ones who strangle themselves.

...... I came to scout this village and was captured, so if you look at the villagers, the man is nothing but a nuisance.

While questioning the condition of the villagers, he now stands up rejoicing that he was saved.

Even though my ribs hurt at that time, I still thought it was more likely that I would survive than I did now.

"Well then, I'll take you out of the village." Just like that, we'll be on our way, too. "

Ok, thank you very much.

Don't mind the village chief bowing his head, shaking his head to the side, Marina and Vihella...... and Nielsen, sleeping in the dragon robe, and Set together with Ray move through the village.

The men who walked ahead of Ray and the others were slow.

As a man, I want to get out of the village a little early. And I wanted to get away from Ray, but every step I took, my broken ribs hurt.

Fortunately, the broken ribs do not stick to the lungs, so it is not a fatal injury, but it is still more than enough pain.

Even with that footsteps, I managed to walk out of the village.....

Okay, then don't go back to the village, just go somewhere

"I-I get it..."

To the man who said while holding down the damaged ribs, Ray advised not to step on his feet in vain rather than being kind...

"For the record, we've already raided the forest where you were based, and we've killed all five bandits in the forest." I had to take the other treasures I hid. "

Saying so, Ray took the bag containing the jewels from the misty ring and showed it to the man.

"Ah... that's...? Huh, you're kidding...?"

"It's the truth in front of you. In the first place, you gathered information from me yesterday, but you thought you wouldn't do anything?"

"No, because..."

The man who seemed to have said something, but ignored it and Ray continued to speak.

"If you think so, go to the forest." However, from now on, you will act alone. Don't act like you're going back to the village.... even if I go back to the village, I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it. "

The villagers are basically not used to fighting.

But the man has broken ribs, so it's not very easy to fight, but he can't.

Even though you've been cornered, if you go back to the village here, you could be killed in the worst way.

The man nodded reluctantly as he remembered it.

"Okay.... then I'll go."

Saying that, the man walks out.

You headed for the woods.

Vihella muttered that she hated talking to weak bandits.

The words have a strange colour.

"There's no more treasure in the forest, right?" And yet, why are we going to the forest? "

Ray took the treasure, but it's something other than the treasure... I guess there's still some food left.

Ray nodded to Marina's words.

"That's right. This is the only treasure I took, and I didn't find anything special about Set, but I think there's a lot of food." When we went to the forest last night, we had a lot of alcohol. "

If you can't afford food, you won't imitate liquor.

Or perhaps the idea was to attack the village as long as we ran out of food and alcohol.

Actually, I just couldn't find Set, so there was some other treasure, right?

"That's... I don't think it's possible."

Ray shakes his head at Marina's words.

If this is a larger bandit group, or a few elite bandits, that's a possibility.

However, the number of people was small and they were obviously vulnerable as bandits.

When I fought Ray, I was drunk because I had a lot of liquor, but even if I thought about it, it was definitely weak.

Ray couldn't have imagined that such bandits possessed more treasures than those gems.

For now, that's enough, right?

Perhaps Nielsen decided that it was okay to get out of the dragon robe from the surrounding environment.

And yet, you care not to be seen from the village. You put people such as Ray, Marina, Vihera, and Seto between the village, and you fly without taking altitude.

"Well then, Nielsen is also coming out like this, and it's troublesome to keep thinking about this village and the bandits... let's start right away"

Not far from the village, Ray takes out the Set Cage that was stored in the Misty Ring.

You can hear surprises coming from the village.

As far as I could tell, I was watching Ray and the others gently from the village.

Ray has no intention of blaming it.

There weren't many people coming to the village, so it wasn't strange to be interested in Ray and the others.

"Well then, let's go.... what about Nielsen?"

"Of course, I'll ride Set with Ray." Otherwise, you might get lost. "

"... that's right."

I actually got lost and came to this village, so I can't tell you not to get lost.

If so, it would be a pleasure for Nielsen to come with her.

"Well then, let's go that way." Marina and Vihella are ready, aren't they? "

"Yes, I won't arrive in Fairyland even if I stay in the village forever." I'd like to deal with the case as soon as possible....... I'm a little curious about what happened in the Trent Forest. "

"If a flaw appears, we need to deal with it." Mithril's nails? But you don't have to worry about that much, do you? "

"I see. With the Mithril nails, I don't think you need to worry about that for now." If we destroy the base of our people, we won't be attacked by the Trent Forest in the first place. "

While exchanging such conversations, Marina and Vihera enter Seto's cage.

Ray rode on Set's back, and Nielsen sat in front of Ray invisibly from the village.

Well then, don't ask me, Set.

Grrrr!

With a throat squealing happily at Ray's words, Set ran up in the sky, flapping his wings in a few steps.

We've earned enough altitude to descend toward the ground.

The ground was fast approaching, but as for Rey, I was used to riding Set.

Without being particularly frightened, Set descended toward the ground and eventually grabbed Set Cage and went up again.

(In a way, this is more thrilling than a jet coaster.... well, safety is quite questionable.)

Ray has also been to the amusement park several times on family and school trips.

It is not a nationally renowned amusement park, and it is by no means such a large amusement park as a local amusement park.

Ray honestly feels that Set's sudden descent and spike is more thrilling than any of those amusement park jet coasters.

You can enjoy such a thrill because Ray trusts Set, and even if something goes wrong and Ray falls from Set's back, it's a big deal to be able to land in the air with Sleipnir's shoes and slow down.

"Set, over there. Over there."

Seeing Set with the Set Cage stabilized overhead, Nielsen instructed the direction to go.

Ray tells Set to head straight for Nielsen.

Nielsen was the only one who knew where the Fairy Home was going, so it was only natural to follow Nielsen's instructions.

Seeing Set fly towards Nielsen, Ray asks Nielsen as he moves to his right shoulder.

So if we head toward Set, will we be able to arrive today?

"Hmm... I don't know. It's the right direction, but I didn't see that village last time we moved." So I can't say for sure if I'll be there by today. just..... "

Seeing Ray stop his words halfway, he turns to Nielsen to encourage the conversation to continue.

Nielsen opened her mouth reluctantly after receiving Ray's gaze.

"Well, it's not for any reason, but I think I'll probably arrive by today." I envy you. "

Envy?

I don't know why the word envy comes out here, and Ray looks at Nielsen on the right shoulder.

Nielsen opens her mouth to such a ray, with enviable, happy, unfortunate, complicated emotions.

"After all, it took us days to get to Fairyland..."

It would be very enviable for Nielsen to arrive today.

Given Set's flight speed, I don't think there's anything we can do about it.

In response to Ray's words, Nielsen gave such an unconvincing expression.
