"You're safe!
When Ray and Seto continue to evade the water spear attack, and the attack ends abruptly as they did when they attacked, and they arrive at the gathering point of the Magic Item ship to resume rescue, they are called out to do so.
Ray nods in the voice of a man, thinking of the leaders of the adventurers who have exchanged words several times.
"Can I assume the attack just now is a rumored bounty neck?
Probably not.
"... perhaps?
I guess it's more than just being on this occasion, even for the men of the adventurers, for the bounty neck. In reply to which he gets no guidelines, Ray leans his neck while spanning Seto.
But the adventurer man looks around with a sigh of trouble.
The expression does not have the same colour of agitation as before. It was very troublesome for the monster, the prize neck, to show up, but the luck of being unfortunate, or the monster who was after the passengers and sailors thrown into the sea without fear of the monster, had also disappeared.
Of course he will show up again soon as he does, but you still saw a large number of ships on their way to rescue arrive here fast.
The adventurers of fellow men and adventurers aboard ships of other magic items also have some relief color on their expressions, although the perimeter vigilance does not loosen.
Some of them have decided that they are safe now. Some parties are pulling women, children and old people up to their ships, and many have gathered those thrown out into the sea so that they can grab to the ships even if they don't get that far.
The adventurer man, who was talking to Ray, continues his words as he sees his fellow adventurer pull up several children who were in the sea onto the ship.
"Oh. I've been sunk many ships so far, but I hear no one has checked on the enemy. Or maybe there is, but even if there was a guy who knew, I guess he was carrying information."
"... I heard a story about a wizard fighting back and repelling him when he was about to sink a ship... is that a lie?
"No, it's a fact. That said, I didn't launch a direct attack on the monster. You were right to destroy that water spear and beat the magic into the ocean, and then you wouldn't be attacked again."
You're a pain in the ass.
A man who snorts silently at Ray's whining.
Monsters who don't show up and attack ships by attacks from a distance. Ray himself was largely dodgable thanks to Seto, but the power of the attack is also powerful enough to destroy the bottom of the ship, making it difficult for a concurrent adventurer to deal with it.
(... you're like a sniper)
A deadly blow from an invisible place. Think that way on the inside, Ray.
Or if you think you can strike like a water spear released at you earlier, that nasty would outweigh a sniper as well.
"It's just that the troubles were also helpful in this case. Thanks to him, the other monsters disappeared."
"I think this situation is closer to a do-it-yourself than it was his fault.... It's Ray. This is Ceto the Griffon."
"Oh, I knew it"
Nod as convinced by Ray's name.
"As I was told by people who took part in the last war. I..."
When the man opened his mouth like that.
"Hey! We're ready for this one! Initiate rescue, please!
A huge ship, which Ray and Seto had made several round-trips, arrives at the site waters and requests that rescue operations be carried out as quickly as possible.
"Are you here? I'll introduce myself later. Anyway, the rescue of the people in the sea is first. I'll start rescuing you, too, so thank you. It's comforting to have someone who can fly in this situation."
That's all I said, pulling up whoever was just in the sea as I said, I would move toward a giant ship and take a rope ladder up to the deck.
Adventurers using other Magic Item ships also quickly move their ships to another ship that came to the rescue and send people thrown in the sea to you.
Ray, who was watching, confirms from the air that there are no monsters around him, and pulls those who float away to the top of the ceto as a matter of priority, and carries them to the deck.
If there is a place to evacuate so close to this, it will take some difficulty to carry a man of good stature, even for Ceto.
Still, I guess I should just say sailor. The person Ray reached out to told him to give priority to rescuing women, children and old men over themselves, and he nodded and pulled them up from the sea one after the other, taking them to the deck.
Keep it that way for about an hour. It took about that much time to pull up nearly 100 people, but we finally succeed in rescuing them all.
Still, there was no reason to rescue all those thrown into the sea, few passengers and sailors had sacrificed their monsters, but there was still a smile on people's faces.
Of course, the magnitude of the damage suffered is obvious, and the person who owned the ship, or the organization, would have been greatly damaged. Still, it was true that many of the passengers and sailors survived, and that was why they smiled.
"Whoa, brother! You're in trouble this time!
The captain, who had already carried passengers to the deck many times and had become fully acquainted, shouted and said so.
"No, we all wanted to help if we could..."
"Don't be impotent. It would be great if we could help the number of people to this point in that state. And you didn't do more damage because you attracted him. Good job. Good job."
Guy. What it shows was hard for Ray to even think about.
"The prize neck monster was the one manipulating that water spear."
"Oh. They're manipulating and attacking the waters of the ocean, like they did earlier, even when we sink the ship. So it's not clear what kind of monster you look like yet. Damn, bad wisdom works for monsters."
When the captain is abominably throwing up and pointing a sharp gaze at the sea, the sailor comes to report that he is eventually ready to return to port.
The captain who hears it gives instructions to return to the harbor as soon as possible.
When Ray tried to cross into Seto's back after seeing how it was and deciding that there would be no more problems, he could call from behind again.
"Brother, if you take a Griffon with you, you'll be alerted by the people in the harbor. I could see a monster flying out of the harbor helping with the rescue..."
"If you say so, yes."
Captain tells me, nodding Ray.
In fact, I may not be so intimidated given my participation in the rescue effort, but I was still convinced that it was likely to be unwanted noise if I could be seen taking Seto, who is a griffon.
But soon I remember the letter I got from the marina.
"I don't think there will be that much confusion because I have a reference from the Alliance Master."
"... no, brother. There's no such thing as walking a griffon and not getting confused. Anyway, you should stay on my boat and go home. It looks like this, and the city of Emotion has a pretty wide face. Thanks for all the help, and I won't make it worse... What do we do?
"I don't care what they say.... Well, if you say so much, I'll take care of you."
"Grrrrrrrr"
Even if it's Ceto, who was listening to Ray, he rings his throat that's good.
I guess I didn't feel comfortable scaring the average person who knew nothing about me just Seto who knew I was a high-ranking monster. I wouldn't worry about this, or if the bandits were hostile to Ray.
"Well, you seem to understand. Above all. Well, it won't take an hour to get to the harbor, so enjoy your short voyage."
Nodding to the captain's words, Seto falls asleep in a wide area of the deck.
Ray grinned as he watched Seto like that, watching the back of the captain as he returned to his work, while keeping his weight on that body as usual. In the meantime, I notice that a few children are looking at themselves… more precisely at Seto.
At first, Ray thought to himself that he was scared of the presence of Griffon, but the eyes of the five or so children looking at Seto had no color of fear. Ninglow, with curiosity.
"Gru?"
Seto must have noticed some gaze at himself, too. I open my eyes, which were closed as I lay asleep, tilting my little neck and looking back at the children.
"Wow! I saw it!
"Hey, you don't have to be scared. You're helping us."
"That's right. I thought Tet said he was going to thank you."
"Ugh, I'm a little scared..."
"Really? Cute as far as this goes though. Look, what's going on? You know, the way you're tilting your little neck."
I know you're going to whisper and whine if you try it on the kids, but unfortunately, Ray's ears hear it all firmly.
(You mean childish...... no, was the first in the city of Gilm that stopped scaring Seto)
As he enjoys the smooth feeling as he takes his gaze off of the children and strokes Seto's back while thinking that way in his heart, he eventually decides whether he wants to or not. Five children approach Seto and Ray and call out.
"Um... hey"
"Yeah? What's up?
Turning his gaze as he strokes Seto, eventually the five children bow their heads simultaneously as if they had measured the timing.
'Thanks for your help!
"... oh, yeah, never mind. I didn't do it for charity either."
I never thought Ray would say thank you directly from the front again, telling him so in the subtle light.
"But it's true you helped us."
"Nah, brother. Can I touch this griffon more than that?
"Hey, you. With that said, you're already touching it. Stop imitating this kid like he doesn't like it!
The children act individually, some speak to Ray, and others reach out to stroke Seto. Some are trying to stop it, but it was exactly the situation that was moving at will.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
When Seto, who has a child-favorite side, is dealing with him as he rings his throat, eventually other adults who were around him send a curious gaze at Seto.
Most of them were rescued, and should not worry about food and accommodation expenses after returning to the port because of the effects of the original loss of all luggage, but in that sense it was also a sort of escape.
Staying like that, about an hour. When the ship arrived at the harbor, it was probably concerned about this raid. It was also visible from the rays on deck that the inhabitants of the city of Emosion were packing into the harbor.
Naturally, Seto will also be visible from those in the harbor, and the blurring will spread as the ship approaches.
I guess I noticed what was going on in such a harbor while instructing my men. The captain approaches Ray and speaks up.
"Uh, brother. I'm sorry, but can you stay here for a while, even if the ship lands? 'Cause I'm gonna turn my hand around here so your brother can go into the whole city."
Even for a captain, I knew what a griffon was like. That's why I suggested it because I didn't want it to get violent all over the city.
"... right, I do apologize for getting involved in troublesome events in this state, and I'll leave it to you"
So Ray also snorts lightly at the captain's words and takes the references handed to the marina from Mystering and gives them to him.
A troublesome event, for a moment I thought it might be troublesome if the presence of mystering was known in terms of how many times I switch death sizes and spears in combat operations associated with rescue operations in the first place. I guess you've decided there's no point in hiding it already here than you think it is at that time.
Only thing that made Ray so far-fetched at this time was that he lost sight of the fact that there were quite a few rescued people on the deck of the ship compared to the time of the rescue operation?
As for the sailors, they were busy preparing for the shore work, but the rescued ones did not help the sailors work, but shut up and went to the city of Emosion… more precisely, they were looking to the port.
But a handful of them saw the sight of Ray taking one envelope out of nowhere. I wouldn't have thought that was an item box, but it's pretty well known about magic items like pouches that have expanded their internal capacity using space magic. Along with the fact that it's very expensive. And many of those rescued here sank their ships and lost most of their possessions. What happens if they combine?
The answer was a cloudy glance at Ray.
Even as he feels more than one such gaze, Ray turns his gaze to the captain who received the letter of introduction without worrying.
In the first place, it was not so uncommon to turn a gaze full of desire if you tried to make Ray a walking presence called Seto.
"What's this?
"I just said, it's a reference I got from the guild master in the city of Guild. With this, I think it would be a little less trouble."
"Right, thank you. Then I'll give this reference to the person in charge right away, so please wait on this deck for a while longer."
He snorted at the captain's words and waited for the ship to arrive at the port.
