The top of the mountain where the harpy is nesting. There are few species of plants growing around it, and several large rocks are rolling. I'd say it's like a wilderness.

And a cave existed at the top of the mountain. There are three harpy figures nearby, two of which are nestled in such a way as to guard the entrance of the cave from left to right, the other remaining just a short distance from the entrance of the cave.

A line of rays confirming that situation from where the trees are flourishing a little off the top.

"... Is that harpy watchful, or what?

Brasso nods at Fron's words as he groaned as he watches the three harpies near the entrance to the cave.

"Bye. Originally, as you can see, Harpy is a very intelligent monster with a man's head and torso. It's no surprise there's about the concept of keeping an eye out."

"Is that right? If you think about it, even goblins act like watchdogs, so think about it."

"That said, it's troublesome.... What do we do? I'm not glad they took the trouble to take down that watch here."

Ray turns his gaze around the cave as he whines.

There are no plants around the cave, especially where the Harpies are watching. Rolling to the ground are bones and monster bones of some animal that the Harpies ate up.... or a bone that seems to belong to a person. Be polite, Harpy seems to eat up not just meat from prey, but even things like guts and skins, and it would have been an unfortunate fortune for a line to have only bones rolling around and not smelling rotten.

"... I don't see anything burning around the nest, but if it's in this condition, don't you have to worry about extending it? If that cave is a harpy nest, I think it would be best to get rid of the lookout quickly and pound even the magic of the flames into the cave."

Fron shows how he thinks to Ray's words, who opened his mouth while checking the surrounding conditions.

As for Fron and Brasso, I rejected Ray's suggestion because I just thought the harpy nest was made of giant trees growing near the top... if the harpy nest were to be in the cave, the story would change.

Anyway, Ray's weapon is a sickle. Brasso's weapon is a giant hammer. And as far as Seto is concerned, he's a giant over 2m long. I can only predict how big the cave is, but it would still be a bit difficult for three and one to fight at the same time.

(Well, I'm pretty sure there's as much room for them to fly and move as there is for Harpy to nest)

Fron stares at the cave as he grips the long sword.

"... what do we do? As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going into that cave."

Anyway, the weapon is this, and Ray grabs the Death Size.

"Right.... Fron, I certainly don't have to worry about extending the burn if Ray is right here. If that's in the cave too, then let's go further. On the contrary, I think we can do everything we can."

"Right, right. If you do not know what's going on in that cave, it would be suicidal to deal with each other in that. There's got to be at least room for flying, more than a harpy nest, but as far as the entrance is concerned, it's pretty narrow.... because if you do poorly, the ground part is narrow and the upper part is free for Harpy to move.... I can't help it. Shall I incorporate Ray's opinion?"

Fron tells that even as he exhales. Ray nods at the words and turns his gaze toward the three harpies on the lookout.

"Well, then... what are we going to do with that watch? If you can use my magic, it would be desirable to strike it unintentionally, and three of the lookouts are definitely in the way to tap the magic into that cave."

"... Ray, isn't there some kind of flying tool in your item box?

"Hmm, right. There are spears you can throw."

Ray answers Fron as he turns his gaze to Mystering. There are quite a few spears in that bracelet that the bandits crusaded in the previous rank-up exams. With regard to spear throwing, we have already confirmed its usefulness in the dungeons that Elaine and the others challenged.

"There's some wind magic later... but it's gonna be a little hard to think about in range"

From the bushes and caves where the Rays are currently lurking, it's about 200 meters. If you throw a spear, it's that easy to reach, but the magic of a powerful flame. Or you could say it's out of range in a death-size flying slash that's false with the magic of the wind.

Alternatively, if it's okay to use massive flame magic, I don't care about the distance of 200m, but then the other harpies in the cave will definitely notice.

"... Well, what is it? I never thought I'd get lost in this place."

"For once, it's not like I don't have a hand. Nevertheless, a little element of luck will be required."

"What? If there's more to it than no other hand, you should hire it. Say it."

To Fron's words, Ray turns his gaze toward Seto, who is grossly obsessed.

"The easiest part is that Fron and Brasso also throw spears and attack Harpy..."

Shake their heads in all two of Ray's words.

"Throwing in the first place won't be possible unless you're trained to hit the spot you're after."

"Right. I'm confident in my arm strength, but I have to say that it's difficult if you ask me if I can make it hit well."

(For once, in my case, I hit it pretty well from the start...)

It was Ray whining in the heart, but I also knew that was because of Zeppyre's own physical performance failure, so I silence him without saying anything in particular.

"Then this will be my destiny... first one I throw a spear from here to finish. One of the remaining two sets is defeated by Seto in an ambush from high in the air. And the one left...... either Fron or Brasso ride on Seto's back and ambush the one left with Seto"

"Become!"

"Are you serious!?

Fron and Brasso raise their surprise at Ray's suggestion. Anyway, they're telling me to get on Griffon's back, so I couldn't help it.

But it is also true that defeating the Harpy of the Watch is most likely. The two people who make that decision try to push each other into a surprise role by having an eye and eye conversation. But...

"The ambush must be Fron."

Ray's words determined the role of surprise.

"Wait a minute! Why are you asking me no questions?

Fron comes to eagle Ray's shoulders full of strength while simulating the dexterity of yelling at him so he doesn't sound like a harpy watching him away. Next to it, he exhales relief just because Brasso was sincerely helpful.

"Easy, easy for a reason. Whatever the race power is called Dwarf, it's a surprise attack... and the speed needed for a surprise attack on Seto's back from above would be higher on Fron, who is a human being"

"Well, that's true... I don't know, I don't think I'm happy right now."

"So you want to take turns with me? I don't mind this way at all. Is it okay if Seto puts me on his back? I hear a lot about dragon knights, but they say that Fei Long will never put them on his back except his partner."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Leave it to me, Seto ringing in the back of his throat all the time.

If you try Ceto, it seems that putting someone else on your back is nothing so special.

"Then Noon will just wait here with Ray."

Shake your head at the whining Brasso words and hand one spear removed from the mistering to Brasso.

"Ray?"

"With my throw and Seto's ambush, I'll make sure to take down the two harpies. But Fron's on Seto's back... I mean, you've never flown in the sky before, have you?

"Naturally! Is that what you can do to make that experience so easy!

Fron yelling at Ray's words again in a whisper.

"That's why. Just in case, Brasso can use this spear to get ready to throw it anytime. If Fron's ambush is going to fail, you're going to have to go for it instead of being called for backup."

"Hey, wait a minute. He said to aim for the Harpy I failed the ambush... then there must be me right next to that Brasso target! You've never thrown a spear before, have you? Ray wants me dead!

"... all I can tell you about that neighborhood is that if you fail an ambush, get away from Harpy quickly."

"Shit, shit. I get it....... Brasso. If you hit me, you'll be sober for three months."

"Mm... mmm..."

I want to say something back, but when I do that, I feel like they're going to tell me if I'm going to hit you back. Even a few days sobriety would be deadly, but I would definitely die if I stopped drinking for three months. While I feel such a dilemma, I still end up receiving spears from Ray without complaining.

"What a cheap spear for a spear Ray has."

Brasso whines as he touches the spear he's been given. After a few touches, you can see what the spear is made of, such as Dwarf's demonstration of command, which has also been aimed at blacksmiths.

"It belongs to the bandits we defeated during the rank-up exam. Poor quality is well understood. I mean, if it was a weirdly good quality spear, it wouldn't be disposable to throw."

"No, spears for throwing are usually lighter, it's common to use short spears. In the first place, bows and arrows are better than shooting weapons."

"But the bow and arrow would block both hands, wouldn't they? And I'm not proud of it, but with my power, I can make it as powerful as a blow."

Take the spear you took out for yourself and point your gaze towards one of the harpies.

"Seto ambushes one of us near the entrance to the cave... right, the guy to the right"

"Gru."

Fron's on the left at the entrance.

"Oh, already. I get it. You just have to sit on your stomach!

Fron snorts half-yaked fucking flavor.

Brasso squeaks smudgingly as he sees such a flon.

"It is normal for adventurers with experience such as Non to give instructions when they should say this."

"Don't say it. Wrong to keep Ray with newcomers around in the first place"

Fron spits out his words at the same time as the sigh, and approaches Seto whether he is ready or not.

"Seto, I've never been on a monster's back like you. Um, I'm not used to it... are you okay with that?

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

I'll take care of it, but Seto rings in the back of his throat like I said.

"Well, me and Seto are going... you know, I'll take care of Harpy who's away"

"Oh.... I forgot to tell you. This is just an ambush."

Fron slaps him gently on the head wrapped in Ray's hood, which he almost said so.

"I know. Whatever it is, it's not enough that you have to worry about it. Because it's an ambush, you don't speak up, you tell them to take it down without letting them."

"... bad. You're right, you've been an adventurer longer than I've been, so you know that."

Ray whining so much, but it's only been a few months since he came to Gilm. I may only have a background as an adventurer for a few months.

If it was meant to be, it's normal time to still be around Rank F.

"I'll show him a little bit of skill.... Seto, let's go"

"Gru."

Seto rings in the back of his throat and returns to the path he came with Fron. We went back to a place where Harpy couldn't find us flying.

Drop him off and watch Harpy as he hides in the trees and bushes. Eventually, after about five minutes, Fujibrasso opens his mouth.

"Ray."

"Was there anything strange about it?

"No, it's not weird or anything.... well, if you like. Why don't you crush it after this request and leave it to the warriors?

Still, Brasso turns his gaze to Ray in a serious way.

"I mean, isn't that temporary?

"Oh. Your Lord has a head cut off, and a high judgment. Not to mention combat power. And Seto."

……

"But you're not going to tell me you're going to be working solo forever, are you? Now I may still be able to figure it out because it's D-rank, but if it's your Lord's strength, the rank should go up with C, B, and A. Not so far away. Suppose it was a solo then... you know what Non is trying to say?

(It is true that I can get along quite comfortably with these two.... Regardless of booze. but......)

I get lost inside and eventually open my mouth.

"Well, I'll get back to you when this request is over."

I decided to shelf it for now.

"... well, that's good. I'm here more than that."

Is it a Dwarf specific ability, whose gaze is directed towards the night sky covered in darkness?

Turning your gaze towards you, there is indeed a ceto flying over the night sky. And Ray also seemed to see Fron clinging to its back.

If he is a normal human being, he is invisible in the darkness of night, but Ray's flesh, made by Zeppyre, defeats such common sense easily.

He was Brasso, who realized he was equally capable of dark vision from Ray's tricks, but now he grabs the spear that Ray gave him with one hand, either to focus on ambushes or without putting anything in his mouth in particular, and is ready to throw it at any time.

Next to that, Ray also stands ready to throw spears at any time at the right time...

"Coming!

With Brasso's voice, Seto's sharp forefoot, which has glided without sound, crushes Harpy's head as it guards in front of the cave, and at the same time Fron waves his sword down with Harpy's head hanging as the momentum jumped off its back.

Exactly because posture control in the air seemed impossible, I couldn't make it a tang bamboo cut from the head, but still, Harpy, who was targeted by Fron, is slashed from the neck muscle to the torso with a sword, and he dies without even being able to cut off the demon.

"Ki!?

The last one I was standing in a remote location. That moment when that one harpy tried to turn around just wondering what had happened. Ray's force-throwed spear tip destroyed his head, spreading the brains and fluids of the contents of his head all around him.
