Legend

"... well. Looks like Ray had a lot of fun when he said I was heading out to the Marstells alone."

At night, when I was reporting to each of them what had happened today in Ray's room at the inn, that was the first voice out of Elaine that I heard Ray explain.

The same is usually true for the porn that should be lenient in the stables with Seto, with a gaze somewhere disgruntled from the back of Elaine's sitting couch to Ray.

"Cu......"

He was a yellow who leaked his dissatisfied voice, but Ray shrugged unexpectedly when he heard that voice.

"Did the Yellow also want to eat the meat of the Fei Long?

"Cu!"

Of course! and yelling yellow, but floating in Ray's mouth listening to it is a bitter laugh.

"For once, a flying dragon is also a dragon species, so it would be like a fellow countryman."

"Cu?"

Yellow waving her tail just because she doesn't know what she's talking about.

I lost my mind for a moment on that adorable trick, but breathe a small sigh before opening my mouth again.

"Don't worry. I did eat most of Fei Long's meat, but still, it's not like I ate all of it. Yellow and Elaine have enough left to eat."

"Cu!"

"... it's not that I was dissatisfied."

Apart from the joyful yellow, Elaine shrugs like that before continuing her words to get her mind back together.

"So you cleared everything up when it came to stripping, huh?

"Oh. You're just a real adventurer. The material stripping was quite handy."

I have had quite a bit of experience with peeling and dismantling myself, and even somewhat more confident, Ray, but when I looked at the adventurers' hands, it was something I still didn't extend to myself.

I am convinced that I can never do this myself right now, especially the way Teevia gives instructions and everyone works together quickly and without waste to strip the material from the monster.

... In the first place, Ray and Elaine are basically doing material stripping, so it's natural that we can't work together.

"Tomorrow you'll be absorbing demon stones."

Nodding at Elaine's somewhere expected words, she takes the Demon Stone out of the mysteries.

Earth Club, Bloody Dyle, Cobolt, Spiral Rabbit and Dessert Lizardman. Among them, Bloody Dyle and Cobolt have two demonic stones at a time.

With regard to Dessert Lizardman, the number of Demon Stones is one, but Seto has already finished absorbing them, so the minute we have it in front of us is for the Death Size.

Note that Wyburn's demonic stone is missing because it was already absorbed in the Spring War and sold to the Alliance along with the material.

"... you won't be able to expect a lot from Kobolt."

Probably not because it originally only has the same level of strength as a low-ranking monster like Goblin. To Ray, who groans with such thoughts, Elaine smiles small and opens her mouth.

"In the first place, I'm pretty jealous as far as I'm concerned that absorbing demonic stones can add strength....... hey, porn?

"Cu!"

I'm glad to be yellow that Seto, who is also his own guardian presence, gets stronger. But my desire to be as strong as Seto's was certainly present in the body of the little dragon.

But Seto and Yellow are similar and non-existent creatures: monsters created by warcraft and demons of use created by dragon language magic.

It was impossible for Yellow to grow like Seto, and vice versa, for Seto to grow like Yellow.

"Well, that would be fine with regard to the report over here.... So, what about you? What did the head of the Marchelle family look like?

It was Elaine with a lost look on Ray's words like that for a few seconds, but eventually she opens her mouth.

"Right. At first glance, nothing seemed suspicious. When it comes to how to fix it, I can say it's close to perfection. … but"

Once you stop the words, reach for the yellow and move them over your own knees, continue the words.

"Perhaps...... no, no doubt the Marstells are involved in the events of the anomalous species. It's just a fact that if you ask me if that's really the mastermind, I'll have to lean my neck."

Past Elaine's brain was an obsession that could be described as paranoid, or even intimidating, towards the jewels of Prix.

I had to lean my neck, wondering if the matter of the abnormal species was also a mastermind, since returning from the Marchelle family in Elaine, on the contrary, the way I went into a half-combat posture after just asking her to show me a little bit.

If the anomalous species had any connection to the gem, he might honestly have understood that Prix was the mastermind in the matter of the anomalous species.

And one more thing. One reason Elaine can't determine that Prix is the mastermind in this case is the small number of people serving the Marchelle family.

Although it was a mansion the size of the Silva and Levisole families, there were surprisingly few signs of people. That's why I don't know if I can maintain a mansion that size with that number of people.

Can you make all that massive noise when you say there are only so many serving people? Or you could have used your personnel if it was when the Levisole family stood up and acted, but now the Levisole family is also firmly held back by the Silva family.

Among other things, there were eyewitness testimonies of the threesome Ray and Elaine encountered, or those who, as the adventurers belonging to the Silva family said, seemed to be creating anomalous species separately.

(There is no reason why everyone who serves the house should be inside the mansion...)

While in doubt, I shake my head small and then open my mouth toward Ray.

"Anyway, I don't know the details, but it's true that you're a creep of sorts. I guess Bosc can't move in a detour because he knows that, too. And you don't want to make any more noise about Eggzil."

"... I see. Anyway, is it certain that the Marstells are suspicious?"

Ray listens to Elaine and exhales unexpectedly.

It was an honest feeling that nothing had to go wrong when they came to challenge the dungeon...

I guess I didn't even understand Ray's feelings like that, but Elaine continues her words with a grin.

"What, you won't have to worry so much. Sure, I'm sure the Marstells have something to do with the abnormal species of noise, but you can leave that area to Bosc. Somehow it's one Silva family ruling the Exil. All we have to do is attack the dungeon and let me know if anything happens."

"Right, that's the best part"

Did the words out of Elaine's mouth make it somewhat easier, Ray tries to lean against the couch where she was sitting, keeping her weight and exhaling deeply.

But I stiffen myself without thinking of the words I could hear in the next moment.

"Every once in a while, I'll make you some tea."

For some reason, Elaine looks in a good mood and heads to the place where the tea containers prepared in the room are located.

(... brew tea? Elaine did? No, wait. Even in Japan, tea was a matter of learning. If you think about it, it's not strange that Elaine can make tea. I actually brewed tea on my way to Exil.... I couldn't drink because of the bandit commotion after all)

Whilst whining inside, I remember Ray brewing instead of Elaine when I was on my way to Eggzil.

You quickly perceived Ray's gaze as a woman, Elaine opens her mouth to Ray with a gaze that floats somewhat of a proud color.

"You think I'm gonna leave what I can't do forever untouched? Besides on the road, he taught me until Tufal left the inn even after he came to Egzil, so I'm pretty sure I can do that."

Was that word unexpected to Ray too, unexpectedly opening her eyes and turning her gaze towards Elaine?

But I guess that wasn't funny to Elaine. I nod small after sharpening my gaze only for a moment.

"Fine. Ray's current attitude challenged and received me.... Let's see how feminine I can be, too."

When you throw it away as if you were going to do it in a duel as well, you reach straight for a magic item that warms the hot water, through magic you prepare the tea leaves, not even a flowing trick… but you prepare the tea in a move that you are quite used to.

Given what happened on the way to Egzil, I could have said that the situation was out of step.

And the tea that was eventually served on the table does entertain Ray's tongue just to say.

Of course, in a certain sense, it can be called a real job. Compared to the tea that Ara brews, the flavor mostly goes down, or from those who professionally brew in the dining room, it's still something like that. But if I tried it on Ray, it tasted good enough to entertain my tongue that Elaine brewed it for me.

"Delicious"

"Right? You see, do you understand that I can be quite feminine, too?

"Oh, hat off"

Elaine sits on the couch with a look like she did it to Ray, who honestly speaks praise while drinking tea, also preparing her share of tea as it is.

Time to have some tea and relax with Ray. That was an unchangeable time for Elaine and Ray.

The Marchelle family mansion west of Egzil. In addition to the moonlight, two men were walking in the garden to the mansion while it was quite bright with magic items that lit the lights.

It took two people and had a large bag, whose weight implicitly indicated that it was quite something from the look of the bag.

"Even so, we have to work for such a crazy woman..."

Due to the weight of what's in the bag and the heat and humidity characteristic of summer nights, one of the guys throws up irritably.

"Whoa, idiot! If you say that here..."

"Master Nina Nica Arnodesca?"

Such a voice echoes around me without saying it to the end.

At that moment, Vikri and two men's feet unwittingly stop and look around.

Only the sights of the night that are illuminated by moonlights and magic items are spread around, nothing else.

But the voice I just heard was undoubtedly real and incorrectly not the kind of empty ear.

"So, who... Huh!?

"Otonashikushi Tekdasai. Master Nomei Vakunina Limascara. Soleyo Limo Master Icaleta, Toitano Ha Anata Desne?

A man who was complaining, at some point... yes, he really opens his eyes to the presence on his shoulder at some point.

It's only about the size of a doll, but I would have always noticed if things the size of this were on my shoulder.

But I didn't notice anything until I was whispered in my ear.

"Master Bujokshimashitane?"

With that word, the doll's hand is shaken up...... and the man notices that at some point the knife is held in the doll's hand.

Even if you encounter an enemy with a knife if it is meant to be, you have the power to deal with anything. But when he got so close without noticing himself at all, the only way a man could handle it was to avoid it.

"Come on!"

As he takes his hand away from the bag he had, he pays the doll on his shoulder to distance himself, pulls his sword out of the sheath of his hips, and wipes it away.

He was the man he intended to be, but the doll on his shoulder gently jumped and dodged the hand he tried to pay for himself, trying to stick the tip of the knife straight into the man's eyeball...

"Stop it!

Another man waves loudly with his sword in his sheath.

The doll, who just decided that the blow couldn't be avoided, kicked the wielded sheath and jumped big. Take the distance.

"Damn!

The man who decided that the danger of his life had left rushed to reach for the sword of his hips...

"Can you make it that far?

A familiar voice echoes around me.

And what appeared was a woman in her 40s who adorned herself with a gem called a gem. He was the current head of the Marchelle family, Prix Marchelle.

"Absolutely. Bloody imitations on our property are troubling."

"Huh!?

Your doll must have caused this! The other man grabs the arm of the man, who almost screams so, and shakes his neck sideways.

Any more disturbances are unsavory. They say that silently, and the man calls out to Prix, who is holding the doll at some point while biting his lips in remorse.

"So, where is this contents?

"Oh, get me to an underground lab.... You haven't killed him yet, have you?

"Absolutely. He just lost one arm, but he was strong enough to trick us, but he managed to pass out."

"... heh. That's a lot to live for. Now, what color will the new sacrifice shine in? Blue or green? Red?...... let me have some fun. Phew, this is also a guide to the Holy Goddess of Light."

A prick who groans and turns his lucid gaze toward the bag.

The two men who watched it only gave a slight expression of disgust, bringing the bag into the mansion without saying anything.
