"That's a nice room."
Falling asleep in bed, and remembering the feel of Marina's lips, Ray grumbles to divert his thoughts from it.
As the saying goes, the room Ray is in today was very well equipped and was conceived and built to be comfortable.
That's not so bad compared to the wheat pavilion at dusk.
"It's a little impossible to call me a barn..."
Ray turns his gaze toward the door of the room.
There were supposed to be a few Dark Elf warriors waiting outside the door.
That doesn't keep Ray out of the room, but it also serves to protect him from those who come out with unwanted little bits against Ray.
A marina kiss and a declaration that she's your loved one. By doing so, Ray was supposed to be trapped around a dungeon, which was treated as house arrest in such a superior room.
"I knew Marina was a special blood muscle among the dark elves... but that was more than I expected"
When Ray first met Marina, Marina was introducing herself to Marina Ariansa.
Yes, it was Ray who understood that it would be the birth of some special position more than having a last name, but I guess the presence of the marina was greater in the dark elves than expected.
Ray's current situation showed that.
Sleep in bed and gaze out the window into the view outside.
Having windows means you can get out if you want to. But the Dark Elf side naturally had more surveillance outside the window than they understood.
Even if you're under house arrest, it's definitely a more comfortable environment than enough.
"Still, I'm free."
Ray's sight once again looks around the room with things like sofas and tables hung with dragon robes.
But there's nothing like being free to crush.
"Why don't you just take a nap and wait for things to move?... That sounds good, too."
With that groaning, Ray gets up from the bed where he was sleeping, takes the dragon robe from the couch and wears it, and heads toward the door of the room.
Put that out the window...... the dark elf watching from about 100m away made me nervous for a moment, but Ray knocks lightly on the door and calls out without worrying about that.
"You got a minute?
Dozens of seconds after I spoke, and when the door eventually opened gently, there was a dark elf figure there.
He looks like a man in his twenties, but he has no idea how old the dark elf guy in front of him is because of the marina thing.
"What can I do for you? I've been told to respond to your request as best I can, but it's impossible if you want to go outside."
There is nothing like disgust in the words of a man who tells you so.
On the contrary, I even live in an atmosphere where I seem sorry.
It means so much to a man to be a marina loved one... no, I guess it means so much to the dark elves in this settlement.
It's also big that Marina said to treat Ray politely though.
I guess it was totally unexpected to the marina that you came here to treat the world tree, but no way this was going to happen.
That's why Marina treats Ray like a loved one of her own.
At the same time, if we treated Ray tyrannically, there was a sense of crisis that if we were bad, this settlement would really... No, the forest could disappear.
I know that Ray doesn't hesitate to attack anyone who harms him because he was reading the report as an Alliance Master.
And if some Seto is not just a ray but a rare species of griffon, I would not have wanted to think about the damage if it had been rammed by one such person and one.
I just don't want to make such a danger, but I don't want to make it, beyond the fact that my ties are weakened by the world tree thing.
Of course, Ray's favor was the only reason I kissed him.
Ray was going to indulge in the current situation that such a marina had prepared for us, which should be called house arrest rather than house arrest or villa life rather than house arrest.
I'm sorry if it's a long time, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend a day or two like this.
We've come so far to treat the world tree, so there's no way we're going to keep Ray this way forever, which can be called the point.
(If it means treating the world tree, even Elaine's magic seems possible enough)
Ray opens his mouth to a dark elf man who still thinks that life like this won't last forever.
"I'm not asking you to let me out of here. It's just that I'm pretty free to be alone in a room with nothing like this, so something that's going to ruin my spare time...... can you bring me a book if you can?
"... can you read the letters?
A dark elf man with a change of vigilance and a look like he's a heartfelt surprise.
This Elgin can never be said to have a high literacy rate.
However, the literacy rate is surprisingly high in the case of adventurers.
Naturally. Because if you can't read the letters, you can't even read the requisitions in the guild.
I can ask my buddies and acquaintances, and if I'm free, guild staff to read the requisition, but that's not always possible, and if I do poorly, I even risk being set up by someone with a grudge and going to the dead.
Naturally, the adventurers were desperate to learn to write more than their lives were at stake… the literacy rate was considerably higher, although only what was needed to act as an adventurer.
When Ray briefly explains the area, the dark elf man nods as he is convinced.
In Ray's case, he could read and write letters regardless of the adventurers, but now he didn't bother to explain it.
"Then you'd like the books you need to work as an adventurer. Just give me a minute."
Tell him so, the door will be closed.
Looking at it, Ray sits on the couch and waits for the book to arrive.
(If it's just a book, it's in the mistering, too. It's not a mistake to want to read the book Dark Elf has anyway...)
At the end of his gaze...... a glance at the dark elf watching himself from far away from the window, Ray waits for the book to arrive.
... Note that there will also be a kind of sandwich to be picked lightly with the book, which will be far from situations such as imprisonment and house arrest, but Ray himself was willing to indulge in such a house arrest life.
When Ray was enjoying his house arrest life to no greater extent, Marina was holding talks with great men, including the elders of the settlement, quickly and only.
"So Ray needs it for this World Tree treatment. You've explained that many times, haven't you?
One of the dark elves opens his mouth to Marina, who appeals for Ray's liberation, even though it seems difficult to say so.
"But Master Marina. The moment the man crossed the fence, he had that pulse, didn't he? If so, it is true that that person is dangerous. I understand that you are in a deep relationship with Marina..."
"In the first place, why did Marina choose a normal person as her own opponent? In dark elves and humans, that time of life is very different. Contraindicated… but I think it was an implicit understanding"
The first one followed by the marina is the opponent who wants to get rid of the marina politically.
Marina smiles glossy at the words of such an opponent.
... that smile, which makes a woman feel intensely lustrous, even a man who was hostile to the marina, falls in love for a moment.
Still, I guess that means you're used to confronting the marina around returning to me right away.
No, Ning Lo. Is it the marina that surprises you, though not even the person you're used to for a moment?
"An implicit understanding would be an implicit understanding, wouldn't it? It's not like it's a proper code. And..."
The man gives a surprised look at how the marina looked once the word was cut off was concerned.
Whatever it was, it was unusual for a marina who spoke clearly of things to cloud words.
It is the first reunion in about a hundred years, but for Dark Elves the flow of time is not as noisy as it sounds.
"And...? What is it?
"No, if you don't know. I just wonder if the adventurers who use Griffon as their obedience to rare species are normal people."
Even using my ability to sense magic, I can only feel that I am a normal wizard from Ray now wearing a crescent moon ring.
Maybe a little magical for humans? to the extent that.
But I don't want to look like I took off my crescent moon ring if I can.
Auduban's fearful and fearful eyes toward Ray were so heartbreaking to Marina.
Still, I don't think I can help it in the worst case scenario, but sometimes it's the Marina's important opponent, and now Ray is being treated politely.
(Anyway, you can't help dealing with this bigotry. If you're going to be the other person......)
Whimpering inside, Marina's gaze was directed at the person in the deepest part of the room...... who was the elder of this settlement and at the same time the grandfather of Marina.
"Can you let me know what Grandpa thinks?
The appearance of a bearded and wrinkled face in the Dark Elves, who live far longer than human beings, is also proof of how long this person has lived.
... I'm such an old man, but it's true that I'm bloody now.
Bruise the wand weapon...... manipulate like a stick and have the power to literally just kick one ass if you are a low-ranking monster.
It's not that I don't like spiritual magic and bows either, but that I am a senior figure in this settlement.
"Hmm, yeah. If you're going to lay your hands on your lovely grandson, you need to see what he's capable of."
"... Grandpa. That won't be the case. I'm telling you, if you fight Ray, you're not gonna be okay with Grandpa, are you?
"Well, I heard the story, but you're so rigid. I'm looking forward to seeing you."
To his own grandfather's attitude, as usual, he sighs out of the marina's mouth.
Still, Marina talks to her grandfather again, saying she needs to free Ray somehow in order to solve the World Tree thing a little faster.
While Ray slowly enjoyed his house arrest life and negotiated with his opponents over the upper levels of the settlement so that Marina would liberate Ray like that, Elaine and four of Vihella, Ara and Büne were resting in empty houses in the settlement.
Unlike Ray, there is no such thing as a watchdog, and you are free to leave if you want to go outside.
As a matter of fact, until earlier, Büne was outside the house playing with Seto and Yellow.
"That was unexpected. I didn't know Ray would be captured as soon as he came to the Dark Elf settlement"
When Elaine squeals, Vihera agrees with it...... she smiles a little funny as she stays.
"Well, if you say it sounds like Ray, it sounds like Ray. Wherever you go, with Ray there will be the center of the commotion"
To such a Vihella word, Elaine tries to say something back... but she gets stuck with the word because she understands that the word is an unmistakable fact.
In fact, few things Ray has ever been involved in and hasn't been a major disturbance... because there were undeniable facts about Vihella's words to the extent that at least Elaine has been involved.
"You can't deny it, can you?
"... right"
"Well, maybe I started thinking about Ray because of that."
To the words, Elaine turns her suspicious eyes.
Naturally. Elaine fights Ray and Vihera by the memory of Yellow... and because she's watching you mouth under the moonlight.
(If that's what you want to say, I don't know. But I don't know.)
Thinking of it that way, I leave Arla gently brewed tea in front of the two of them, and in front of Bühne, who is tired or looking a little sleepy.
While sipping that tea, the silence fills the room for a few minutes...
"So, what do you do?
Unexpectedly, Vihella opens her mouth to break that silence.
"What do we do, what?
"It's about the marina, of course. You were watching, weren't you?
I didn't have to think about what you were talking about.
kissing scenes done in public.
"Honestly, it's not funny... but it's also true that Ray can't do any extra harm in that matter.... but not funny."
Around twice, as Elaine, I guess I didn't tolerate the marina's actions either.
Still, if you skip out on Ray, it's true that Elaine has a crush on the marina.
(somewhat feminine...... no, too feminine, you might say)
I whine inside thinking of the marina figure and open my mouth again.
"If Marina really has feelings for Ray... if she has feelings between men and women, she'll need to talk about it once and for all."
Drinking tea, he shrugged.
