Legend

forests near the city of Gilm. There was the cave upstream of the river that flowed there. A cave camouflaged through the entrance to the cave so as to deceive even if the adventurers of the city of Gilm came. Inside that cave, people didn't even look like monsters, it was just a cave like anywhere else in this Elgin. If there was just one place different from the rest of the cave, it would be the magic formations depicted on the ground of the cave. Its magic formation is about 3m in diameter. This was like a landmark for transferring with metastatic stones.

Transfer Stone. Developed in the Bestian Empire, this magic item has been precisely crafted with Monster Demon Stones of Rank B and above to grant even more top-ranked magic, space magic, even among the more challenging magic, space magic, using several rare materials. For this reason, no matter how competent the Alchemists of the Bestian Empire were, they could not help imposing various restrictions on their use. For example, it is possible to transfer two to three adults at a time due to the magic placed in the transfer stone, or it is not advisable to provide a specific magic formation for the destination. And the biggest limit was that the transferable distance was up to about 10 km.

It was this cave that the shadows that were infiltrating the city of Gilm had prepared as a destination when they used the metastatic stone, and the magic formations depicted on the ground of that cave were violently and brightly extinguished.

The blue light glows strongly, or weakly. And the brightness is repeated over and over again… the next moment, the blue light is scattered all around the dazzling perimeter.

And when that light went out...

"Gru?"

There was a griffon figure over 2m long.

"Guru, Guru? Grrrrrrrr!"

It was a sudden metastasis, so I guess I didn't really know what happened. He looks around as he tilts his ankle and tilts his ankle again.

It was only the rock walls that surrounded it, and the rock ceilings covered it even when I looked up. The only exit and thought place is disguised as not being found from the outside with things like dead trees, evergreen branches, or stones.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto rings in the back of his throat, but remembers what happened a moment ago. I felt some kind of magic, or magic item activated and went into that magical hut to protect my favorite Ray. And at that moment, he hit a few figures, and at the same time his surroundings were covered in dazzling light, present in this cave when he realized it.

"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr,...... Grrrrrr!

Look around and look for Ray, but naturally he can't be anywhere near the city of Gilm.

Though progressively more meticulous, he still tries to encourage himself to squeal.

Ray and I are separated from each other at the inn every night, and I also went through Ray's rank-up exam when he left for a long time. Remembering that, he first blew out the branches of rocks and trees covering the entrance to the cave as he went outside, with a gibberish of his forefoot.

Fortunately, the entrance was large enough for Seto's body to pass by, so he went straight outside and looked around.

Most of the trees around are dead because of the winter, and a few other evergreen trees can be seen.

If you look at the ground, the dead leaves are falling in large quantities, which would be the effect of snow falling. It was wet and damp.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto looking around with his throat ringing.

But naturally, there can't be anybody around, and of course, there's no Ray who wants me the most.

"Grrrrrrrr, grrrrr....... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Slap your throat, eventually high... even high. Seto rings when I'm here. Most of the monsters that existed around it had escaped when they heard the voice and hid, but it had nothing to do with Seto.

There are no rays around. That fact brings subtlety to Ceto.

"Grrrrrrrr......"

I was sitting there for about 30 minutes, sounding meticulous, but still no Ray as it should be. Naturally I don't have the hands to smile and stroke my head, scratch me, or stroke me as if I were going to fix my back.

Coming and going in front of the cave, another 30 minutes.

Another hour until you feel the meticulousness of being separated from Ray but still decide you can't help being on this spot.

"Gru."

Eventually, I finally decide that Ray won't come and pick me up no matter how long I wait here, and it rings small to encourage myself.

The shadow man's confession has already informed him of the location of the transfer stone, but Seto, who was not there, naturally could not know it. So if Ray can't pick him up without knowing where he is, he decides to pick him up.

Fortunately, there is quite a lot of space in front of the cave. He wings as he walks a few meters away, and eventually his body rises to the sky as if he were running in the air.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

I'm going to see Ray right away. Raise such a determined roar and look down on the ground from the sky high.

"... Gru?

At that time, Seto's gaze caught an unexpected sight. High walls covering the city itself, not far from where I was until earlier. If that's all, or I might have seen it wrong with another city. But the magic felt from the city was definitely Ray's. I mean, it's going to be the city of Gilm with that wall.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A howl full of joy, unlike the one I raised earlier on. The voice echoes to the surrounding area just as it did earlier.

"Grrrrrr!"

And when it rings again, Seto wings toward the city he sees at the end of his gaze.

If you are going to go above ground, for more than half a day… the city of Gilm is a distance that may take about a day depending on the speed at which it travels, but it is not that far away if you try to make it a set that can fly through the sky. That would be the only way to get there in less than an hour. That was Seto flying through the sky thinking so, but when he casually sends his gaze to the ground, he discovers with that sharp vision that a pair of adventurer parties are fighting monsters. And sight-like sharp hearing picked up the voice raised by the Adventurer Party.

"Yep! If you're a Lizardman, you can hibernate like a lizard.

A warrior-inspired woman who continues to prevent several Lizardman attacks all by herself. And a middle-aged man with a wand spell in his hand behind it, and a archer girl who pulls a bow and releases an arrow to Lizardman to cover an avant-garde female warrior. Seto knew about the party. Rank C Party Burning Winds. Mileyne, who is also a leader in the scorching wind in particular, is strongly impressed by the fact that she is the one who always feeds herself good food.

"Gru......"

I turn my gaze towards the city of Gilm only for a moment, but I could also feel Seto saying that I already knew where Ray was and that I was not particularly injured from the magic I could feel.

... Of course, you can still feel magic even if the distance is so far away because Seto is a being created in Ray's Warcraft and a certain line of magic connects the soul to the soul. I can't feel the magic of anyone but Ray at this distance. However, Ray, who does not have the ability to sense magic, cannot sense the presence of Seto, so this is only a one-way sensing from Seto to Ray.

Having understood the situation of Ray by its connected line of magic, Seto is lost for a few seconds comparing the city of Gilm with Mileyne, who is fighting several Lizardmans, and eventually descends to the ground.

Originally, Rank D Monster Lizardman would have been an unsurpassed opponent for the scorching wind, which is also a Rank C party. But it's winter now, and it's snowy underfoot. That had erased the advantages of Mileyne, a swordsman who valued speed.

Even for Lizardman, he's vulnerable to winter cold, but his body doesn't warm up and slow down while he's in motion. … for that matter, once the temperature starts to drop, the movement becomes extremely dull.

"Hey Sulnin, no spells yet!?

"Please wait. A little more..."

"Mr. Mileyne, before, before!

It was Mileyne making a magical reminder to Sulnin, who is also the wizard of the party, but poking that gap, Lizardman with a spear is about to poke that spear out of the side of Lizardman, who is meeting Mileyne with a sword...

"Grrrrrrrr!"

For the three of us in the scorching wind...... and with an even more familiar ringing voice for Mileine, Ceto falls with a body length of more than 2 m in diameter. And while that fell, he waved a blow to his forefoot, and Lizardman, who was meeting with Mileine with his sword, was crushed in the neck.

"Huh!?

Miraine raised her voice unintentionally, but Seto landed with little noise to the ground, regardless.

Even though it has descended sharply with a blow from above, it will be because the quiet and extreme landing is Ceto, a griffon.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

And when he landed on the ground, he sank in to kill the impact. He used the recoil to jump again. He waves his forefoot across the belly of Lizardman, who had a spear, and crushes his torso.

Keep looking around and make sure there are no other signs. Breathe heavily...

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

With the ringing voice, he exhales a firebrace from that couch.

"Shaaaaaaaa"

The next moment he touched the exhalation of the flames, Lizardman rolled down the ground screaming his whole body in flames.

Fortunately, the current season would have been winter. Because if it had been autumn, the fire would have spread to the dry trees and leaves.

"Huh! Now, Sulnin, Ekrilu!

In response to Mileyne's cry back to me, Sulnin releases an arrow from the bow where Ekril stood and finishes off a few remaining Lizardmans.

Mileyne also waved her sword down to Lizardman's neck as she was taken off her feet but rolled around the ground in flames.

And a few minutes. Finally calm down, Mileyne turns her gaze to Seto, who is alert to her surroundings with sharp eyes, unlike what she always sees all over the city.

"Seto...... right?

"Gru."

Seto nodding in the back of his throat, to Mileine's inquiry.

Its neck was hung with obedient devil's necklaces, which were required to be worn throughout the city of Gilm, and there was no mistake that it was Ceto, whom Mileine knew, who was in front of him.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Are you okay? and Seto rings to ask as he tilts his neck.

To that appearance, Mileyne's emotions explode before the relief she helped, the joy that it was Seto in front of her, and above all Seto's adorability.

"Seto, Seto, Seto! Thanks for the help! Because she's really cute, she's well-dressed, she's strong, she's cute, she's cute!

"... Mileyne, it seems to be pretty in there for a long time"

Sulnin gently strokes Seto's head with his cane in his hand as he smiles bitterly at how Mileyne looks like that.

I would just gaze at Mileyne holding him in the neck muscle to keep him out of the way, but I should say it's a kung fu of the year. Sulnin speaks to Seto as he passes through it.

What happened during the raid on the Orc settlement, when the griffon in front of you was human... if you did poorly, it was because you understood you were more intelligent than that person.... Miraine has been asking me about my love affair, so I may have.

"Thank you for your help. Normally, I don't have that kind of trouble with Lizardman, but this time it was a lot of bad timing."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Don't worry, Seto just shook his head.

Ekril finds herself watching Seto like that a little further away.

"Is that it? Does Seto's here mean Ray's around here, too? And I don't see him."

"...... grrr......"

It was a casual whining word, but when he heard it Seto shook his head with loneliness in his circular eyes.

"Is that it? Without Ray, just Seto?... That's crazy, you loved Seto so much"

"Gru."

Seto turns his face toward those in the city of Gilm, honking his throat.

Mireine, who may be inferior to Ray in his love for Seto, but is confident that he will never lose to the others, immediately understands the meaning of the trick.

"That's the direction of the city of Gilm, isn't it?... So, maybe Ray is still in the city of Gilm? And Seto was on his way back there."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Exactly, and just nodding Ceto.

I feel Ray's presence, and even I have Mileyne close to me right in front of me. That snort in front of three scorching winds was already the usual seto, and about an hour ago it didn't look like anything was sounding carefully in front of the cave.

"I see. I don't know why, but did Ray and I split up?... Yeah, right. Seto. We're going back to the city of Gilm, too, but why don't you come with us if you like?

"Miraine. Seto is flying all the way to the city of Gilm, right? You don't have to go out of your way to slow down the movement..."

Sulnin cautions Mileyne that she wants to act with Seto.

But even for Mileyne, that's not all I'm asking Seto to do. Seto's ability as a griffon was very useful in moving outside the city.

"What do you think? Join us for a while..."

"Gru......"

He turned his face toward the city of Gilm for a few seconds and got lost... but eventually he nodded small and cocky.

Yeah, I know you're probably more worried about Ray than you came out that way. But still. Mileyne is also one of my favorites. When it came to the crisis at hand, he decided that Mileyne was better than Ray, and went with a line of scorching winds to the city of Gilm.

"Absolutely, Mileyne's spending too much money is making less money over the winter, so please reflect a little."

"I know. Sulnin is fine."

"Mr. Mileyne is pretty rough on the money, isn't he? I heard you didn't have overnight money, or you managed to declare it in a tavern."

"Hey. Ekril. It's..."

"Ho. Let me ask you a little bit more about it."

While having a conversation like that.
