Legend

The mock fight with Ray...... ended somewhat flashy to call it, and Optis laughs in a good mood.

"Ha ha. I wasn't too worried because I heard Marina was the man who brought me here... just more than I expected."

"... in this case, should we rejoice?

Although Optis gets a slightly strange look at Ray's words whining as he stores Death Size into Mystering, he probably decided that now was not the time to ask.

The wand... would deserve to be called the murder weapon. Point your gaze at the entrance to the square as you poke the ground with the wand.

There's a lot of people there who know what Optis is doing, and many have a gaze of admiration for Ray.

Some of them have bitter or regrettable expressions, but Optis opens his mouth to Ray without looking particularly concerned.

"Here comes your Lord, my son-in-law."

"... My son-in-law..."

For a moment, understanding the meaning of the word, the marina at the end of her gaze waves gently.

And there are familiar faces like Elaine and Vihera on the side of the marina, but the gaze toward Ray is slightly sharp.

It was clear that the reason for this lay in the word 'son-in-law' just spoken by Optis.

With two sharp glances, Ray talks to Optis again.

"So, what am I supposed to do now? You're going to be under house arrest again?

"No, no, that's not..."

"Naturally! The one who did harm to the world tree! Ning Lo, you should be thankful just to keep you alive!

Voices echo around you as you interrupt Optis' words.

Loud voices echo across the square, drawing the attention of all who were watching Optis and Ray fight.

Seeing a man with such a voice, Optis' face was praised, albeit for a moment.

Also, Marina has an unpleasant look on her face when she sees the man a little further away.

"Ragud, this man is my grandson's son-in-law. And you came all the way here to treat the world tree, didn't you? You're saying you're doing a rude imitation at the time you imitate it, like house arrest, and you're still telling me to do something on this?

"Naturally. Because as soon as this person entered the settlement, there was an anomaly in the world tree. That's what most of the people who were there saw, felt, and experienced, right?

The man, called Ragud, tells him so as he looks around.

Marina and I both looked at each other at that time, but now she had the look she seemed to be good at just being overstated in half at a meeting that took place a while ago.

But... the marina opens her mouth to such Ragud words without any frightening appearance.

"Oh, I don't think I can say that that pulse is a bad thing for the world tree?

"Can you feel that pulse and still say that? Even today the world tree is weak. That kind of pulse there...... only harmful. Don't you think?

"So I ask, what is Ragud going to do with the current state of the world tree being weak? Didn't you ask for help to come back to me because you couldn't help it?

Marina's words were also true.

If those who had originally remained in the settlement had managed to make the world tree, they would not have had to go out of their way to recall the marina that had left the settlement.

Even though it was Ray who called himself back because he couldn't do that, and brought him here as a solution, it's not something that Marina can stand to try to get rid of that ray.

Moreover, it was no surprise when this settlement was engulfed in flames as a marina, to be honest, more than an act of utter disregard for the dangers of that ray.

(Luckily, I seem to have built trust with Grandpa... but if someone like Ragud comes out, I can't deny that Ray's attitude could change again. Besides, if you leave it like this, it's going to be a problem later...)

Usually, that would be good too. Talk through your opinions, listen to Ragud...

But now it was an emergency in the literal sense.

We should keep hanging out with Ragud and waste our time, and the world tree is weak...... at worst, given the possibility that the two junctions of stray junctions and barrier junctions will disappear, even if they are forceful, we should proceed as we think things to be.

"It's … if you do the right thing, the world tree will recover."

"Was I called because I couldn't do the right thing? No?"

To the words of the natural marina, Ragud silences.

In fact, it is true that there is nothing we can do about the world tree as it stands, including Ragud.

Of course I didn't do anything in this settlement.

But still, I couldn't find a cure for the world tree.

No, the magic flushing succeeded in treating some of them, but the magic of the Dark Elves is only somewhat better than maintaining the status quo.

When you get poked around it, you just have to get stuck in words as a ragd...

And one of the dark elves, who was inadvertently near Ragud, sees Ray as if he noticed something.

So when I whisper something in Ragud's ear, Ragud opens his mouth to that word this is fortunate.

"That's crazy. This person is a friend of mine who has the ability to sense magic when it comes to regum... according to this person, the magic of a human man there is never high? No, it's probably higher than the average human being, but it's obviously lower than us Dark Elves."

Many who were in the square turned their stunned gaze to Ray at the words that came out of Ragud's mouth.

If that's true, it means there's no point in Marina bringing Ray in.

But many doubt at the same time.

Not that many people have the ability to sense magic, but the marina was supposed to have top-notch abilities.

I was wondering if Marina, who has that ability, doesn't realize that Ray's magic isn't high.

In fact, if some of the people in the dark elves feel the magic of Ray, what's there is only a degree of magic, such as a little more than a normal human being.

And when those who felt Ray's magic teach that fact around them, the gaze directed at Ray turns into thin suspicion.

Still, what doesn't turn into complete suspicion is that it's still the marina that brought Ray.

Marina with a very high bow and things like magic skills and popularity among this settlement.

I haven't been back in about a hundred years, but a hundred years for a dark elf feels like before.

Some people think they can be trusted more than they are.

(Absolutely, you'll do something extra.)

Marina wonders what to do.

If we're just going to solve this case, it's not such a difficult story.

That's because it was well proven when you were in Auduban.

But when I do that, I suspect that other dark elves will turn their gaze of awe and fear on Ray just like Auduban did.

Given the area, it was Marina's honest desire to stop it if she could.

But the atmosphere that now drifts in the square is a backbone to the thought of such a marina.

I guess I felt like now was the time to attack at such a marina attitude.

Ragud screams all the time that he's here.

"What's up? Master Marina didn't bring you this far just because you wanted to travel with your lover, did you? If so, I cannot but forbid my disappointment in Master Marina!

"Yes, what are you thinking about coming just because you want to travel with your lover at this difficult time! I can't forgive you!

"Absolutely. I can't believe we're having such a rough time here, but I'm making it easier on myself... I don't understand."

"How hard do you think we've been going through!

"I suck at taking a guy and enjoying love as much as I want!

Each of the dark elves surrounding it disputes the marina so that it is caught by the words of Ragud.

A sight that can only be described as obvious from the side.

But still, it means something different to those who are actually on the spot.

The others are blaming the marina, so maybe the marina is really bad? Those who think so will come out.

Of course there are some who are firmly of their own will, but some of them really get flushed by the opinions around them.

There are naturally some dark elves in favor of the marina, but given the magic felt by Ray, I can't really defend it.

The way Ragud and those around him were blaming the marina all at once just seemed like a kind of hoisting.

But the marina herself being hoisted just takes the word for blaming herself in silence.

Rather than Ray being turned to a fearful gaze.

Does Elaine and Vihera, who are around the marina, as well as faces like Ara and Bühne, know about it, show regrettable tricks but do not open their mouths.

Giusura, a little further away, was also silent, not to deny Marina's thoughts.

"What is it, Master Marina? If you're not going to say anything, it admitted my words. May I think so? If so, naturally the sin of uttering such a falsehood..."

When Ragud said that much...... accidentally stop the word.

It's not like anything happened. I just understood I had to instinctively do that.

That's not just ragd. The same was true of the others who blamed the marina.

"Shut up."

That's how the voice echoed inside the square.

Never a loud voice.

But there was no doubt that the voice had reached the ears of all who were in the square.

Whose voice is that? With that thought, the gaze of the dark elves in the square is directed to the Lord of the Voice.

There was a man who fought fiercely with his elders until earlier.

So while he was there, he had little magic in Ragud's men, and he wasn't the one who could treat the world tree, the one who was making the cause of Marina's accusations.

Everyone shuts up about Ray's words like that.

Only the elder Optis had a funny looking grin on his mouth, but he didn't even intend to do anything more to keep quiet and watch what happened.

"So... what do you mean shut up! In the first place, it must have been because you came here to treat the world tree without magic!

Ragud is also one who leads his faction in a few ways. I've only lived as a dark elf for quite a long time, and I've had a lot of experience.

Still, I almost never got out of the woods, so I felt very mentally pressured to stand in front of Ray's words, but still shouted to Ray that I couldn't feel sorry for him in front of his men.

I guess you could say that it looks like a ragd, for better or worse, to be around that belly.

But...... such a Ragud attitude is only unnecessarily frustrating to Ray.

That's why Ray opens his mouth again.

"I told you to shut up, didn't I?

"Gu!"

Lagud unwittingly groans and retreats after a few steps to the pressure that may strengthen him for a time.

That's how I realized that I had retired, and I was frustrated that I had a fear for Ray before I even knew it.

If I noticed that my men around me were turning the gaze I relied on, there was nothing more I could do for Ragud.

Almost close to a rash, but squeezing the will that is within itself to come forward.

Surprise comes to Ray's expression for a moment on such a ragd.

But soon he returns to his cold gaze and opens his mouth.

"You said there was no point in Marina bringing me here because I had no magic, right?

"Yeah, yeah."

"Then... let me tell you that the marina wasn't wrong"

"Wait! No, Ray!

I guess you understood what Ray was trying to do with that word. Marina screams to stop Ray from acting.

There was nothing in the marina today that mature women usually could afford to have, just purely worried about Ray's body.

I wondered if it was my fault that Ray would get the kind of gaze that was directed at him from Oduban again.

To the marina screaming with such thoughts, Ray turned his gaze only for a moment...... and gently pulled out the ring of the crescent moon that was small but with the edges of his lips arcing and embedded in his fingers.
