Legend

Garden on the back of the inn where the Rays stay.

No, as far as the grass can grow all you want and not be cared for at all, you can't call it a garden.

Should I call it an abandoned space?

Still, because it's spring and it hasn't been that long, the weeds haven't grown much.

Instead, tree branches broken by the weight of the snow may be rolling around.

Ray and Magita are across the street in a garden that you can't call such a garden.

A short distance away were also the appearance of Vihera and Bühne, as well as the two merchants.

Whatever Vihera and Büne were, the two merchants didn't want to go out with Ray, but in retribution for being pushed by Magita, Ray said he wanted to see his strength, so this is a development.

"Well, this is how I'm supposed to fight your self... I ask you again, doesn't it stink?

What do you mean, you stink?

"No, I didn't think you'd have to bother with the fight I was going to win."

A blood vessel appears on Magita's forehead in Ray's words that he only stated the truth.

"Heh? That I lose?

Nor does the voice of force, which the average person would be tempted to hear, have any effect on Ray, who crossed with the noise.

"Oh, no matter how I fight, I don't see any elements to lose."

Anyway, if this is what you're saying for provocative purposes, Ray says so naturally, especially with no intention of doing so.

I guess I figured that out. The blood vessels that appeared on Magita's forehead reinforced the appearance even more clearly.

"... ok. Then I'll listen to whatever your orders are if I lose. Instead, if you lose, you can take one of my orders, too. All right?"

"Are you sure? Well, I especially want to ask... No, is it convenient for you to buy me food? If that's the case, I won't be reluctant to fight."

Magita's anger increases even more when she already tells Ray that she will win.

I'll beat Ray, so I'll lend him my chest. It even has such an atmosphere.

"Ha ha... it's been a long time since I've been ridiculed so far. Fine, I'll bark at you."

Along with a frustrating cry, Magita kicks the ground and packs an intermission with Ray all at once.

That speed just made me feel confident in my strength, and I could say it was pretty fast.

The fact that he's a werewolf beast probably also affects this speed. It's just...

"Slow"

From Ray's eyes, who has fought so many battles so far, it's only a slow rate, no matter what.

It's not hard to spot that movement even in vegan situations, before using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, but to play a fist lightly with your right hand that stretches straight toward your face.

Instead of playing your fist with your fist, the act of slapping it with your flat hand and playing it sounds high around you.

It doesn't sound like the sound of meat and meat bumping into each other, that kind of sound.

I know you expected Magita to be avoided or prevented, too, but I guess it was unexpected that she would be slapped with a flat hand and bounced.

Just unexpectedly, Magita pulls her fist in surprise at the pain she felt in her fist.

Ray moves forward and forth to match the move of pulling his fist.

"Become!?

I guess you didn't expect Ray to come forward from you - and that's in line with when you pulled your fist, too, a hand stretched out to Magita, who looks completely intention-pointed, touches to suck into the torso of the leather armor you're wearing with an emphasis on ease of movement.

"Ha!"

The blow released with the temper causes Magita to blow up the air for about three meters and hit her back against a tree that was growing nearby, falling straight to the ground.

"... no way"

Despite blowing Magita away, it's not a happy look in Ray's eyes.

No, I'm even remorseful.

Why is it a look you seem to regret rather than a look you seem to be good at when you imitate someone bigger than yourself?

The two merchants looked at Ray like that in wonder, but Vihera next to him was different.

"Oh.... not yet"

"Mmm."

Vihera smiles funny and criticizes the blow now, nodding small enough to agree with Büne, who has seen that skill several times since reuniting with Vihera.

What Ray did was imitate the immersive palm of Vihera's skill.

But Ray's unleashed blow wasn't very much, but it wasn't what you could call an immersion palm.

It's my skill to use magic, if it's meant to be, to ignore things like leather armor, clothes, and skin and strike a direct impact into my body, but what Ray did now was simply push him with his palms and blow his opponent away.

(No, I think it's awesome enough to just push and blow a guy that's pretty much bigger than me.)

If you can forcefully use only your arms to produce all that power, there's no point in using an immersive palm.

It was Vihera I think that way, but the next moment I get a look of surprise when I see Magita, who was falling to the ground, rise up.

"Again... you're not even a bear or a pig beast, but you're sturdy enough"

"Mmm."

Beaune nodding to agree.

As far as Bühne's eyes are concerned, Magita was no longer Ray's enemy.

If Ray had been serious, he probably would have been mowed of consciousness in one blow.

The difference in force there is overwhelming and cannot be overshadowed by any means.

Beyond that, I didn't think I could eat it and get up, even if Ray was a pure thrust, which hasn't even become an immersion clap failure......

"As far as listening to the guests in the dining room, they said they were looking for someone to fight with just Sabrusta, so I thought there was just some idiot who was a little strong but climbed up...... I can't believe you're getting up with Ray's blow, even if you're not serious"

Vihera is fighting Ray and losing.

We have also fought together in the same faction in last year's civil war in the Bestian Empire.

That's why I was fully aware of how strong Ray was.

So it was a pure surprise to Vihera that she would come up with a blow from Ray, whatever you don't mean.

And Ray also looks at Magita with an equally surprising look on her face.

"I don't think that was ever a light blow. Still, when you got up, it wasn't just your mouth."

"Heh heh... I can't lose. You'll never lose! You can't beat an opponent to this extent now, but you never lose!

Ray, said to be his opponent to this extent, smiles small.

I didn't want to get up because I finally got a blow and still didn't think to say that about myself.

(I'm sure you don't know I have an alias, but still, it's a little fresh who comes up like this)

The blow Ray fired hasn't even been able to immerse himself in the palm of his hand... he just thrust it.

Still, the velocity that was thrust and the impact that hit the tree was supposed to be quite something.

"Can't beat me, huh? Fine. Funny. I'm starting to get a little interested in you."

I don't know what the circumstances are for a man standing up with his feet trembling in front of him.

Still, I was sure it caught Ray's interest.

Whether it's lucky or unlucky is unclear at the moment, but still. It will definitely have some impact on the man.

"I don't know how far you can hold it... show me some more of that"

Ray walks out toward Magita whining.

That speed is only slow, and it never translates to the speed of stepping in as Magita showed earlier.

Still, Magita couldn't take any action before Ray approached her.

All I can do is look at the person approaching me.

Sometimes my legs shake and I can't move in order to take any action, and I can't move as if I were pressured by something I might not get to feel from Ray approaching before then.

Why the hell can't I move? What's going on? Move, look, move, my foot. He's getting closer to me! Move, you fucking leg!

Though I scold my own feet for not moving inside, I have no way of moving at all.

Move and you die. I couldn't move as if I thought so.

Ray, approaching Magita like that, gently reaches out.

"Can't you move? … so far, apparently."

Even touching Magita's body, Ray sees no movement at all, touching the belly wrapped in leather armor with the thought of whether it was misleading.

"Sleep."

With that one word, the right hand to be wielded.

But this blow, unlike earlier, is not like piercing.

He grabbed his fist and punched him in the abdomen from above the leather armor.

The blow unleashed rocks Magita's gut and easily collapses to the ground.

"Ho, ho..."

Spit out what was in his stomach as it went to the ground, but Ray had already lost interest from Magita.

"If you want a strong opponent, you're coming to Gilm. Anyone who can defeat you is rolling around. I'll forget about the orders."

That is all I tell you, and I leave Magita, who is still vomiting, on the spot, to come closer to the Vihelas.

That gaze was directed at a merchant who could be said to have planned this case.

"We talked about wanting to see what I was capable of, did this satisfy you?

"... ah, oh"

"Well, you seem to understand. Above all. I'd love it if you could avoid this kind of farce from now on."

That's all he tells you, Ray leaves two merchants on the spot to head back inside the inn.

"You can't help it. … So let's go too"

"Mmm."

"... oh? What's the matter with you?

I said I was going back, but for some reason it was Vihera asking two merchants who wouldn't move off the spot, but only silence came back.

Even if we wait a few seconds, we wonder how it doesn't work, but we decide that there won't be any particular problem leaving the two of us here than Magita's will seems to be broken, and that there will be some things we want to talk to each other about, and Vihera takes Bühne back inside the inn.

And more than a dozen seconds after Vihera and Bühne disappear, eventually the merchant of those who don't hang out opens his mouth.

"You were strong."

"Is it actually possible that the other one was weaker?

"You don't. By the way, you see what he's doing?

"No, no, because I'm a merchant. I can't see the movement of someone a little stronger."

"Is that true, too?... but deep red? Rumors are basically going to get bigger if they spread, but in his case, the rumors stay the same... or the rumors seem more popular."

"Right. But, well, I'm telling you, someone like that will escort us, okay?

"... well, yeah"

I guess I cloud the words because I still care about Vihera.

The merchant with a good per capita was also fond of Vihera, but this one seems to have completely broken it off already, and he doesn't look particularly concerned.

I'm not imitating anything less like putting it on the table.

Turn your gaze toward Magita, who is silently on the ground with each other.

Is there nothing left to throw up, to Magita, who is finally calming down.

"... go"

"Oh, right. I'm not done eating yet. Early tomorrow morning. I guess I've never been over there to get some sleep."

I know it's okay to stay here, but maybe we'll get tangled up.

Given Magita and her attitude since we met face-to-face, we wouldn't have any choice but to think about it that way.

Judging so, the two merchants leave the scene.

It is also true that it was in the middle of a meal, and I strongly believe that there is no point in staying here forever to soothe hunger.

The two of us were leaving to continue our meals, but we never realized until the end that Magita was staring back at us as we headed back to the inn.

"Well... tomorrow morning... morning, tomorrow morning... I see"

It is also said that these words are coming out of Magita's mouth.

"Well, again, coincidences have coincidentally overlapped."

Such a voice echoes in Ray's room in the inn.

A clear voice that makes me happy just listening.

While still there, its voice, with a solid presence, but only today, lived in a slightly more complex colour.

Such a voice, like a mixture of joy and jealousy.

The cause of that voice opens his mouth with a grin near Ray.

"Heh, long time no see, Elaine. Looking good, above all. You were worried about Bühne, weren't you?

"Mmm!"

Vihera sitting near Ray and Büne sitting on that Vihera's lap.

I was happy to have been able to interact with those two, especially Büne, but I still have a strong feeling for Elaine that I envy Vihera joining Ray earlier than I did.

"Beaune looks fine, too, above all.... I'd like to head over there as soon as I can, but I've got a lot going on. I'm gonna be a little late. '

"Really? Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad I spend more time with Ray... but if it seems too late, I'm gonna seduce Ray, okay?

Tell him so, and if he is a man, he will almost certainly fall in love with Vihera with a glossy grin.

Elaine complained about such a vihella and would loosen up on her longtime reunion with Bühne.

'So, not just Ray, but Vihera, too, was attacked by a supposedly Holy Light assassin?

"Yeah, I missed him the most and I didn't know who he was. It's just that it's dangerous to leave it like this, so you decided to go to the guild with me."

"... although I have not been attacked"

"Compared to adventurers and running royalty, it's harder to target."

Night passes with stories like Holy Light and what happened this winter...

"Master! Make me your apprentice!

Early the next morning, Ray and I were about to leave from Subrusta.
