Legend

A man of mouse beasts who suddenly flew out of the woods.

Ray, who took it, exhales small.

What happened was obvious without even thinking about it.

I mean, the Rays... it must have been a step late for Johanna and the others to come hunting for Gamelion, and the other parties would have found them first and attacked them.

It was Gamelion who seemed to sleep round in the woods when Ray rode Seto and found him from above.

Try the adventurers you found and they'll have looked like easy prey to beat.

That's how he attacked... and the result was the rat beastman man blowing at Ray.

"Hey, what do we do? Looks like we're already fighting."

"I don't care what they say. Naturally, this kind of thing wins early, doesn't it? It probably doesn't make sense that we found it first."

"So we're going somewhere else? Seto found me a corner if I could, so I don't want to miss it here..."

There's nothing I can do about it more than to be crossed first, so I should look for the next gamelion... so when the story was wrapping around, Ray would take me for blowing up and the beast man who was rolling on the ground would wake up.

"Ha!"

The moment you regain consciousness, you can say that it is an adventurer who has the strength to quickly get up and look around and see if there is any danger just to do a gamelion hunt.

As soon as I look around quickly, I naturally notice the presence of the Rays.

"You guys helped me?

Lent nods at the man of the Beast as he looks around and asks.

"Oh. That's where Ray took you blowing out of the woods."

"Ray?... Ray!? Is that Ray the Rank B Adventurer!?

I open my eyes as wide as I think I can open them by now, and I turn to those on the spot.

That's how the sight of the Beastman man stopped was Ray, who, naturally, was lowering the hood of his robe and hiding his face.

"You're Ray.... please! I need your help!

Man of the Beast bowing his head toward Ray.

What comes to mind in that eye is the pressing emotions specific to those who are being hunted down.

"Gamelion was stronger than I thought...... is that what this is about?

"That's right. We attacked the sleeping Gamelion, but when we actually fought, it was stronger than we expected. There must still be a fight going on in the woods."

As the saying goes, everyone here was listening to things like metal sounds and anger coming from the woods.

"It's good to help, but what happens to the treatment of gamelions in that case? You know we're both here for Gamelion."

It was Lent, not Ray, who answered the Beastman man.

I guess I took the arrow side of the bargain because I understand perfectly well that Ray is only here to support us.

... Most of all, I guess the biggest reason is that I want to show you a good place against Johanna.

"I don't think that's why it's all... but you can give up more than half of it that way"

A man of beasts who tells without hesitation.

My people are struggling in the woods.

More than that, if you don't keep your hands on it, you're likely to be wiped out.

There is nothing to gain if that happens... on the contrary, there is a risk of loss of life.

Because even if we gave more than half of the rights to the Gamelion that we defeated here, we decided that we could make enough profit.

"I see, then I don't mind. What about Johanna and the others?

"I don't mind either. We're going to live and go in the Guild, so I don't want to imitate abandoning other adventurers."

"I agree. If I abandon you here, the aftertaste is too bad"

"Hereinafter abbreviated"

"Hey, at least have a good opinion. Oh, so I agree. I'm not opposed to helping adventurers."

Thus, when everyone but Ray makes the choice to help, he puts the beast man on the spot as he is.

"Leave this man to me. Good luck with that."

When Ray tells them he'll take on the Beast Man, Lent and the others go into the woods with a confident grin on each of them.

Ray, who was dropping it off, calls out to the beastly man with a flashing look on his face.

"Look, you can't help staying here like this. In the meantime, why don't we go to the woods and watch the fight? You'll need to stay out of my way."

"... Ha, no, it's not! You're Ray, right? But why would someone else go to help, not you?"

A man of beasts screaming like a panic.

If you try this guy, you'll be unhappy that Ray, who is the biggest fighter, doesn't go to help you when he says his people are dangerous.

But Ray shrugs his shoulders against such a man.

"Don't worry, those guys are strong enough. I have enough strength to defeat Gamelion. I can guarantee that."

Whatever Johanna and the four of them are capable of, it's not exactly a firm confirmation of how powerful Lent is.

But still, I can generally understand some strength.

Of course, if you're a better opponent than yourself like Noise, it's hard to gauge all of your strength just by looking at it.

But in Lent's case, it was obviously lower in terms of strength than Ray's, which is why I understood that there was generally no difference in strength between Johanna and the others.

"But!"

"Calm down. Right, if there's really nothing they can do about it, I'll get my hands on it. Isn't that reassuring?

"That's... well, sure"

If Ray is going to join the reinforcements at times of need, I can't complain any more as a man.

Originally, adventurers don't mean that the Rays absolutely have to help a man beyond being self-responsible.

Still, helping is only due to the good intentions of the Rays.

It also involves the pride of a man as an adventurer to say no more about that good will.

Of course I wouldn't say how proud I am if my people's lives were in danger.

If my people help me enough to abandon such pride, I would gladly abandon pride.

But now that I don't have to do that, it helps, so I just had to be sweet about it.

"Okay, yours... I believe what Ray says"

Tell him so, and the man walks out toward the woods with Ray.

The only reason I can't walk is because I haven't fully recovered from the damage caused by Gamelion's blow yet.

When Gamelion twists his body wide, his tail rolls out with a whip-like sharpness on that motion.

"Chi, this tail is in the way!

A dog beast man dodges a tail blow fired at him.

He's a sharper beast with physical abilities and five senses than a normal human being, so he probably avoided a tail blow passing in front of him.

He tries to stick the spear in his hand straight out toward Gamelion, but he senses it, and Gamelion uses the twisted motion of his body for a spin, slashing it with his ears as sharp as a blade.

A dog beast man who prevented that blow with a spear, but the physique difference is blown hard and big.

It was a gamelion trying to make a blow to the blown man in pursuit, but it's a few arrows flying in there.

"Hey, it's okay! You're gonna be okay! Tell me you're okay!?

The woman of the fox beast releases arrows in a row as she speaks to the beast man of the dog who has just been blown away.

Back to back with hasty language, the speed at which arrows were fired in a row was considerable.

"but ahhhhh! Damn it, even this one, wow!

It was the man of the Beast Man who knocked out the stick in his hand against Gamelion, who accidentally stopped moving with a series of arrows.

"Gah!"

From the mouth of Gamelion, who was slapped on the stick, a voice rises similar to that of the Beast Man of Bears...

"Guuuuuuu!"

It unleashes a blow in the back leg that just says it's payback for the blow on the stick.

He was a bear beastman man over two meters tall, but he still couldn't prevent a blow from Gamelion, blowing up big but hitting a tree to stop that move.

"Shunt!? Hey, what are you gonna do, Chrono? They even hit the shunt!

"What did I tell you to do... that Glynn... hmm?

A dog beast man called Chrono, who hung on to say something, accidentally makes his nose crack.

Because I understood that the smelly people were approaching where they were.

"What? Somebody, come?

"Hey, you wouldn't say it's a new gamelion or anything!?

Listening to Chrono's words, he shouts as the fox beast woman watches Gamelion closely as if they were going for their own gap with a bow in their hands.

Even now he says it's full, but if there's more reinforcements here for him... while he pushes anxiety to death.

But...

"Don't worry, Jonah. Apparently, we're on our side."

Chrono, the dog beast man, could be judged by the odor that it was not the gamelions or monsters that approached him, but the human ones.

It was also understandable because the smell of Glynn, who was also a Rank C Party beast fang bandit, was still in motion, a rat beast man who was blown away earlier by a blow to the tail of Gamelion......

"Shunt, you're safe!

"Oh, you're safe. Good luck!

Shunt of the Bear Orc returns to the front of the Gamelion screaming with exasperation, waving the stick he had to intimidate the Gamelion.

"Apparently reinforcements are approaching this way, so bear with me a little longer"

"Reinforcements? Are you trying to steal our prey?

"Fool, you think we can beat that gamelion alone? Gamelions are gamelions, but those gamelions are pretty strong. Now anyway..."

"Ugh!

Shunt screams with frustration and rushes toward Gamelion with a stick in his hand.

"Buh! Damn it, Jonah, cover!

With the long sword in his hand, he follows the shunt as Chrono screams.

He was a gamelion waiting for a shunt with a stick in his hand, but the next moment he jumps to the ground with a strong hind leg and rushes into the shunt.

Are you aiming to eat a thousand pieces with your fangs, or to slash and tear that body through like a passing with an ear turned into a sharp blade?

Either way, Shunt's life was a wind torch as it was.

Even as Jonah shoots an arrow desperately to restrain Gamelion's movement, Gamelion dodges that arrow with minimal movement.

And when Gamelion and Shunt were about to bump into each other...

"Gaaaa!"

Gamelion abruptly kicks the ground and jumps back, opening the distance from the shunt.

"Whoa, what!?

Knowing that Gamelion's blow cannot be avoided, Shunt, who was about to wave a stick ready to hit him, is also suddenly struck by the actions of his enemies.

"Damn, it's harder than I thought to hunt gamelions."

"Right. I heard you, but I didn't think you'd get this far."

"That being said, it's better than in a civil unrest, isn't it?

"Uh, sure. Yeah, that's for sure. After all, there's only one enemy."

"In the first place, it just feels so safe to have Mr. Ray behind you."

It was the five adventurers who entered the face-to-face vision of the fangs of the beast with their voices in each of them.

That group of women with four men per woman is not so nervous as to be strange even in front of the staring gamelion.

(You said Ray... I mean, there's Ray behind these guys. Then surely one or two of the gamelions won't even have to deal with them)

In the first place, this year's Gamelion hunt got in full swing because Ray attacked the dungeon.

It has already been conveyed as information that in doing so he defeated more than fifty gamelions with Ray alone.

With such a ray behind you, I guess you have absolutely nothing to be afraid of when you deal with Gamelion.

"The Rat Orc told me to help you, do you have any help?

Chrono opens his mouth to the words of the bearded man's adventurer before Shunt says anything extra.

"Help me, that gamelion is stronger than a regular gamelion. I need your help if I can."

"Chrono!

Don't be ridiculous, it was a shunt that shouted with the meaning, but I have to swallow more words when I get a sharp glance at Chrono.

"You already know we can't beat him on our own. If we win, it's too much damage."

"... ok, damn it!

If Chrono, who is also a party leader, tells me so far, can't Shunt say it back any more, too, so I throw up.

"So you're saying we can work together?

"Oh, please"

"Copy that. So... do you want to go"

With the words, everyone on the spot set up their weapons towards Gamelion.
