Legend

"... Phew. The tea that Ara makes is delicious."

In the tent, Elaine carries tea to her mouth, laughing and praising Arla's arm.

Ray also carries tea to his mouth whispering silently at Elaine's words if he has no particular objection to that opinion.

"Thank you.... Seto and Yellow can eat this."

Thanking Elaine, Seto, who is sleeping on Ray's side, and Ara, who places a plate with some fruit for the yellow on its back.

That appearance was such a trick that I could call it a veteran's maid, and it didn't look like the action to be taken by a female knight carrying a very, but huge Battleax.

"Well, again. Long time no see, Ray."

"Right. Since the time of the dungeon? I was surprised when the Yellow brought the letter. Especially when I was trying to write to Elaine."

"Pfft, I'd be glad to hear you say that. Well, sometimes it's because Ara couldn't get me to write to her in the city of Barr."

"Oh no, Lady Elaine... because I didn't expect to see Lord Ray again in the city of Barr, far from the city of Gilm. Can't help it, can you?"

It was Ara protesting by accident, but I understand with sigh that it is useless to see Elaine's eyes staring at herself shine somewhere pranky and say no more.

"Well, don't say that. I didn't know I was gonna write to Ara by surprise."

To be precise, I was right that I had no idea of the means of writing because I knew how much time it would take to exchange letters in this Elgin, but Ray goes on without putting that on his expression.

"That said, you know what? They have magic items that allow Alliance Masters to talk to each other at a distance. With that, I can talk to Elaine whenever I want."

"... I see. I have certainly heard of such magic items. Besides, it would be much easier to talk to a determined opponent at any time when it comes to deploying the military.... Ara, what do you say?

Even in conversations with his thinkers, his thoughts turn to the efficient movement of the army he commands. It was Elaine who learned to think of people, but still, I guess it wasn't Dada who is called the Princess General.

But Ara shook her head left and right at such a question of the princess general.

"Sure, I've heard stories like that, but basically they only find magic items in their hands in dungeons, etc. The alchemists and researchers are desperately researching it, but what is currently possible is that it takes a lot of magic and less than 20 meters of conversation. They need a lot of valuable materials to make more."

"Right. I thought it would be more convenient to command the troops..."

Phew, and Elaine sighing. In doing so, he pokes his elbow at the table and, while still somewhat behaving badly, turns his gaze to Ray.

"Hey, Ray. If that magic item is only in the dungeon, why don't we dive into the dungeon together again?

Ray was in the mood to be accidentally sucked into consciousness by Elaine, who asked with a moist eye, but immediately turned back to me and nodded small.

A normal man would have been deprived of consciousness by that moist eye of Elaine. So much so that Elaine now had a glossy vibe.

(Dear Elaine... I wonder what would happen if I became a woman in the true sense of the word, even though I still am. The word "Dungeon Beauty" sounds good, and given Elaine's charm and abilities, she's going to be rumored to be a Dungeon goddess of war or something. Thinking about it, Lord Ray, who is not as upset as I thought he was all about Elaine's beauty, might be awesome to say.... I can also take it as Park Min-Jen)

I didn't even know it was thought that way in Ara's heart, and Ray gently slips away from his gaze and opens his mouth.

Of course, it's not like Ray doesn't feel anything for Elaine's beauty. Its appearance, whose strength and beauty were so strangely reconciled, undoubtedly deprived Ray of consciousness. What's more, Ray has even dedicated his first lip from that Elaine. I'm not a child enough to feel nothing like that.

"Right. If this war is over... that might be good too. All I know is the dungeon I went to with Elaine, but I'm guessing some places within the Kingdom of Mireana are called labyrinth cities?

"Mm-hmm. Rare ore that can be taken in a dungeon, or monster material that exists only in a dungeon, is worth no less than the city of Gilm on the edge. One of the most important locations within the Kingdom of Mireana."

"... a monster that exists only within a dungeon, or"

"That's right. Of course you'd be interested, wouldn't you?

Elaine turns her gaze and invites the fruit served to Arla on Ray's side to Seto, who is eating with the yellow.

It was clear what that meant. Either way, Elaine is the only person besides Ray who knows more about Warcraft.

And even if I took it to Ray, it was certainly a pleasure to invite him to the dungeon.

"Oh, more than that. And I'm interested in a place called the Labyrinth City itself."

Ray's hand strokes Seto's back eating fruit as he returns his words to Elaine.

At the same time, Ray was giving thought to the magic items that would be available from the dungeon.

There are many magic items that you can get in the dungeon that are useful. For example, something that allows you to have a direct conversation with a distant opponent, such as that used by the Alliance Master that was mentioned earlier. In a familiar example, it was once something Ray had, and now the Power Axe used by Ara is one of them.

Note that if the effect of having a conversation with a distant opponent is to have a pair of orbs that Ray once got from Rich's Grimm he knew in the dungeon, that would be one of them.

Ray was thinking about an unknown magic item that way, but accidentally realizes Elaine is turning her gaze at herself somewhere stubborn.

"... what's up?

"I did bring up the dungeon story. But isn't it a little rude to leave the person in front of you alone and sink into your own thoughts? Suppose you're in a woman's room."

"Room?... Oh well. Sure, it's a room."

Unexpectedly smile at Elaine's words and look around her.

It's in the tent that we have ourselves now, but what's going on inside doesn't look like the kind of tent we use on the battlefield. If they did bring you inside this tent without knowing anything, it wouldn't be strange to recognize you as a room.

"Besides, aren't I the only one who's been talking about it since earlier? Well, it's been a long time since the letter's been reunited, so, Ray, is there something more you should ask me?... you weren't lonely or something"

Only the last one was Elaine, who shrugged in her mouth, but Ray, far more physically capable and five-sensed than a regular person, captured the word properly.

(You did just let Elaine talk. I don't know what to do at a time like this. For now......)

He groans inside, gets up from the couch where he was sitting, and lowers his back to next to Elaine, who was sitting across the street.

"Hey, what the hell..."

Keeping Elaine surprised by Ray's sudden behavior, she gently reaches for her shoulders wrapped in armor because of the battlefield.

"I'm sorry, it doesn't work. I hardly ever had a chance to be close to a woman until I was this age, so..."

Elaine also has another little grin on her mouth at Ray's behavior that can even be traced somewhere.

"If you're going to say that, so am I. I've lived a different life than a regular noble lady, indulging in martial arts training and magic training ever since I got my mind on it. I still neglect the relationship between men and women. But that's when I let my lips go with my own thoughts."

Tell him so, Elaine overlapping her own hand on Ray's hand touching her own shoulder.

Keep your eyes peeled at each other without two people saying anything in particular...

"Cohon"

Suddenly I hear you, with a deliberate cough, return to me and distance ourselves from each other.

"I know you're close to Lord Elaine and Lord Ray, but I need you to think about what's going on around you."

"Sorry about that."

"A little bit of a triumph."

To Ara's somewhere jittery gaze, neither Ray nor Elaine accidentally return the words and Ray returns to the opposite of Elaine, who had sat until earlier.

"Now that you both seem to have settled down, should we get down to business"

"... the real deal?

Ray just thought I'd called him because I really wanted to have a conversation with myself for a long time, but I look back at Elaine unexpectedly for that word of Arla. Elaine also probably decided that it wasn't if she was in love with color in Ara's words. He nods small and turns his gaze toward Ray by switching consciousness from Elaine Kelevel as one woman to Elaine Kelevel of the Princess General.

"As a matter of fact, before this war began, Father had sent many spies to get information about the Bestian Empire."

Ray nods without any particular surprise at that word coming out of Elaine's mouth. Elaine's father is, in other words, the Duke of Keller, who is also the central figure of the aristocracy. Naturally, Elaine would have heard and understood that this war was not the same as before, or that it would have been natural enough to sneak your hand into the city of Gilm to get information.

Conversely, it was easy for Ray to imagine that even for Dusker, who is also the central figure of the neutrals, he is similarly releasing his hands to the Bestian Empire, or to the aristocracy and kings, to gather information.

"So you grabbed some important information? Or you can grab it, but you can tell me that?

"Oh. My father gave me permission in advance on this matter. And... it's not entirely irrelevant to Ray."

"Isn't that irrelevant to me, too?

To that word, Ray leans his neck strangely.

But Elaine just nods naturally and goes on with the words.

"One of the spies who was breaking into the Bestian Empire brought home some information.... Apparently some of the Expeditionary Army of this Bestian Empire saw Ver. It's just that whoever brought it in lost touch with it at the end."

"... I see"

In that word, I understand why Elaine circulated to herself more information gained by the aristocracy until she sacrificed a spy than…

"We're more than just traitors we've let go. Let's clean it up ourselves."

"The Duke of Keller wasn't so outspoken in his mouth, but I think that's probably what's going on"

Earla pinches her mouth, listening to Ray and Elaine in silence.

Because I have some thoughts about Ver's betrayal for Ara as well. No, I would rather have stronger regrets in my heart than Ray, who has been with me for a long time since I received my request for a ritual of inheritance.

"I got the story. But on the altar of inheritance, you said you got away with it, but it must have been pretty serious, right? My left arm was cut off from my shoulder and my face was burned to pieces with some kind of medicine. That's in this short period of time... no, healing magic"

Recovery magic that doesn't exist in the world Ray originally lived in. I've actually seen Ray several times too, and I see with that eye how effective it will be. For that reason, Ray shrugged thinking that the only way to do something about the wound he inflicted on Ver was healing magic... Elaine shakes her neck to the left and right to deny the word.

"Ver did survive that wound. But it's not restorative magic... apparently due to alchemy, or other technology"

"... what?

"The report says there was something like a tree root growing out of your left arm? The basics are Ver when it comes to his face, but I hear he had four eyes."

Just hearing that word gives Ray an understanding of what means Ver survived. Being created using the simple ritual of inheritance that Ver himself had said to Ray in the dungeon. Ray had fought the existence created by that technology several times before. In other words, the name...

"Warcraft Soldier"

That name that Ray put out in his mouth echoes into the quiet tent.

And Elaine and Ara also knew already the presence of the Warcraft soldiers, and they snorted silently at Ray's words.
