The day after the end of the treatment of the World Tree and the end of the banquet in the body.
Last night I was just drinking late and making a scene watching the world trees everywhere in the settlement, and even if it was always time for someone to wake up, the settlers were still sleeping well.
Naturally Ray was also... specializing in eating rather than drinking, but he had eaten late and still slept well in the rented house.
In this house, besides Ray, there is also the figure of Earth.
There was no way I could throw them out of the settlement after the banquet, or stay in the house that Elaine and the others had just met Earths, but I was going to stay in Ray's rented house under the erasure method.
We couldn't afford the number of rooms, but because we still had a living room, we agreed that Ray could stay without refusing ground in particular.
In the meantime...... it's still early in the morning. Usually Ray would still be asleep. Despite the time, Ray suddenly gets out of bed.
It doesn't mean I jumped up, but if anyone still knew Ray who usually woke up, I would have been surprised at how well he woke up.
Usually, after I woke up, it was more than a dozen minutes...... if I did poorly, I'd be boggling for a few dozen minutes Ray, but now I wasn't.
"What?... No, who?
Whimpering, taking the dragon robe out of the mistering and wrapping it around you, putting on your Slapenil shoes and getting out of the room.
Still haven't taken the Death Size out of Mystering because Ray woke up cause...... I guess the feeling of something I felt when I was asleep wasn't that unpleasant.
Yet I woke up properly because I felt around the sixth sense that my current senses were somewhere stuck with cutting feathers, and some of them should also be called bug news.
What was the feeling now? I doubt that, and I realize it.
"That's close to the gaze I felt after the World Tree treatment, huh?
It didn't exactly feel like I could do it in words rather than gaze, but the closest I could get seemed worthy to call it gaze.
But in the end, I can't do anything more than not know what that feeling is teaching me.
Still, when I left the room and went straight to the living room without being able to stand still for some reason, I could see Ground sleeping on the couch.
And Polo, who was replacing his nine tails with pillows on the side of the earth, looks up to see if he woke up with the sound of Ray's made.
"Pollu?
With a slightly sleepy look, Polo turns his gaze toward Bo and Ray.
Is that a good situation for a monster to wake up in? and Ray thinks as he puts himself completely on the shelf.
But given the gaze I felt earlier, I didn't have time to be involved in polo here right now.
Turning his gaze toward the sleeping earth without feeling anything at all on the couch, Ray opens his mouth so as not to wake up the earth.
"I'm gonna go outside for a little while, so you can still sleep."
"Poloro"
To Ray's words like that, Polo falls asleep lightly again replacing his tail with a pillow.
(Regardless of Polo, I just met him yesterday and he says he won't wake up at all even though I'm nearby... honestly as an adventurer you can't do a lot of things?
Glimpse of the earth in deep sleep without even Ibiki, and leave the living room as it is.
That's how he opens the door and as he breathes the spring refreshing morning air, he eventually realizes the signs of someone rushing over to the one with Ray.
Could it have something to do with what I felt? I think so and turn my gaze to the person approaching me...
"Heh?"
Probably because the figure was completely unexpected. Ray has a slightly surprising look on his face.
Because I understood that Ray was not a very preferred opponent, and at the same time, he was never fond of himself.
Over there...... Ragud must have noticed what Ray looked like too. Increase the speed of the run further and come forward in front of the ray, killing the speed.
"Ha, ha, ha.... You've often seen me coming."
"I didn't find out anything else. It's a coincidence because I just went outside for a little while. So, what are you doing so early in the morning..."
Point your gaze towards the sky and realize that the sun is already in your face.
"That's not why, but what's wrong with most of them still asleep?
"... I was wondering if you should take a look in person rather than talk. I'm sorry, but you have to come with me."
Seriously...... that's what I understand Ragud whining about while pointing his unmistakable gaze at Ragud, and that Ragud's words are not false.
"Okay."
No extra questions spoken, nodding back instantly.
Luckily, in Ray's case, everything in my luggage is in mystering.
I don't have to bother to go back to the room to pick up anything, but I'll leave the house behind with Ragud as it is.
"Is the marina good?
"Of course you need it. So this is how we're headed now."
"Yeah? Well, you're in a different place."
Ragud is on his way to Optis' house.
Ragud turns a strange glance at Ray's words when he realizes it.
"What do you mean?
"It's this way with the marina"
Ray headed for the house that Elaine and the others are renting.
One day yesterday Marina also slept in her own house...... but not yesterday.
We were making a scene late at night at the banquet, so we decided to stay in the house that Elaine and the others were renting.
There are other stories between women...... that's what all the talk was about with Ray, but Ray doesn't know that.
Still, I knew Marina had stayed at the house Elaine and the others were renting, so I'm taking Ragud over there.
While Ragud also seems somewhat dissatisfied in his mouth, he probably understands that it makes no sense to waste time here.
Follow Ray to the house that Elaine and the others are renting.
Naturally, it's not more about walking than it is an emergency, but both Ray and Ragud run and move.
What surprised Ray at that time was that Ragud's legs were surprisingly fast.
I just didn't think I was good at moving my body perfectly, just ragd that I could describe as a good guy on the outside...
I thought about it that way, Ray, but I immediately deny the idea that's in me.
Because he's a dark elf in the first place, he says he can't be good at moving his body.
Not all dark elves are good at moving their bodies, of course.
There will naturally also be a dark elf who is no better at moving his body than being unsuitable for anything.
Still, I thought in the wind that Ragud was good at moving his body, only because he worked under Optis.
It's the reason why I haven't, but it was strange that if I still knew someone named Optis, I'd be convinced.
When she arrives at the house that Elaine and the others eventually see, Ragud knocks on the door without question.
That's exactly what you should describe as tapping rather than calling knocking.
Fortunately, no other house exists around the house that Elaine rents, but the sound would have annoyed the neighborhood if it had.
(Knock...... no, you feel like beating me instead of beating me)
I guess the sound that resonated around me was naturally heard in the house as well. Ray also understood the sound and signs of something moving inside.
Still won't be on the table soon, I guess, because I know it's Ray who's outside the house.
If this is just Ragud, I still don't know if we want to look asleep against someone we like... it was only natural as a woman that we don't want to look the day after the banquet either.
Decades after the sound of Ragud banging on the door stopped.
Ragud, who caused him to recruit harsh, puts his fist up again... Ray stops swinging up his fist, which is reddened by an earlier act.
"What do you do! Anyway, hurry up and take the marina..."
"Calm down."
"Mmm."
Ragud stops moving for a moment to the little whine he heard with Ray's words.
When I turned my gaze to those who spoke, it was the girl who looked like she was about ten.
Ragud naturally looks familiar to the girl as well.
Rays, it's the girl who was in the line.
It just wasn't noticeable that there were Elaine, Vihera, and three people boasting flashy beauty with the marina, but still couldn't have missed who was in the line.
(Speaking of which, some women had another Battleax)
The conversation continues between Ray and Büne even while I think about it a little bit.... It's subtle if we can call it a conversation.
"Marina stayed over here last night, didn't she?
"Mmm."
"Well, I'm sorry, but can you get me a little marina? I hear Ragud's in trouble."
"Mmm."
Nodding, Bühne returns to the house.
Ray, who dropped it off, once again turns his gaze toward Ragud.
"So, what's going on and you're in such a hurry after all? I have time for the marina to come out, and while you're at it, can you let me know what's going on around there?
"... right. I would have liked to have done the explanation once if I could... would you prefer that?"
I guess Ragud also realized that Ray's words just consume time pointlessly as they are.
I think about whether I should explain the situation to my efforts or to Ray first, and I end up choosing the latter.
"As a matter of fact, I went to the World Tree this morning... and at that time, I told you... no, the World Tree that Lord Ray was pouring his magic into the World Tree yesterday was clearly weak."
"... what?
That's an unexpected story for Ray, too.
By instilling his magic, the world tree should have recovered from a lack of magic.
In fact, after the magic was poured out, it emitted intense light.
There's a dazzling glow, like an attitude that shows that it's full of energy.
That's why the Dark Elves, and the Rays, decided that the World Tree treatment was over, and that it would take time but would gradually become less about the forest anomalies...
"Does the weakening of the world tree mean that the disease was not cured yet?
To Ray's naturally questionable, Ragud looks difficult and gets stuck in words.
From Ragud's eyes, the brilliance to the glare emitted by the world tree yesterday was a reminder of the full speed of the world tree.
And the fact is, only yesterday, the world tree was in such a state that I definitely thought it was going to be completely fast.
If that's why this morning and Ragud looks under the world tree, he's obviously weaker than he was yesterday.
With that in mind, it's actually more convincing to be told that you weren't at all happy.
But... Still, looking at yesterday's world tree, I don't think it was very, but it wasn't actually recovering.
And most importantly, I hear Marina, who has a deep relationship with the World Tree, say that the World Tree has recovered from yesterday's incident.
If it was Ragud the first time I met Ray, I might have suspected Marina had spoken of deception to shelter Ray.
But now Ragud sees up close how powerful Ray is and understands so much more than that.
Still, it is undoubtedly a fact that the world tree I saw this morning was clearly weakened...... such a contradiction in me was causing Ragud to hesitate to nod to Ray's inquiry.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Ragud finally shook his head sideways.
"No, to be honest, from what I saw yesterday's World Tree, it wasn't very, but it didn't look like the disease was healing. … that's why it's unusual"
"Right, though? Do you have any idea?
Ray, who was talking to Ragud, turned his gaze behind Büne, who was showing himself through the door.
It was a marina standing there with a tough look on her face.
Not early in the morning...... but still at a time when most of the settlers at last night's banquet are still awake.
Despite that time, Marina wears a different party dress than she did yesterday.
Even when we headed into the woods for exploration, we wore party dresses in different colors and shapes, so for the marina, early in the morning or in the woods, I guess it's not uncomfortable with party dresses.
The marina wasn't listening to everything about Ragud.
Still, I understood the general situation just by listening on the way.
To Ray's inquiry, Marina shakes her neck to the side.
"No, I have no idea. At least yesterday, when I put my magic into the world tree with Ray, the disease was definitely healing and regaining its strength."
"Because something happened between the end of the magic pour and this morning? Anyone suspicious approaching the World Tree?
"Impossible!
Ragud immediately denies Ray's words.
This is not about thinking of your people. Purely yesterday the dark elves were feasting as a festival of pleasure in the visible position of the world tree all night.
If anyone had come close, they would have figured it out.
"Then the possibility is a short time from the end of that banquet until Ragud goes to the World Tree?... Whatever, it looks like the marina is ready, why don't we go to the World Tree?"
"Ray, we're coming with you."
That's what Elaine and Vihera tell each other to show up.
We were both already ready, Elaine had Mirage's confined sheath, and Vihera wore her armor and toenails.
It's a shame you're asking, and most importantly, considering the power of these two men, you decide they won't get in the way, and you notice someone who's not here.
"What about Ara?
He drank too much.
In Elaine's words I told her with a bitter smile, I understand she hasn't woken up yet.
"Okay, let's go."
That's what he told them, and Beaune waved off the running Rays without changing his expression... and when he made a small extension, he went straight back into the house.
