Legend

Lift Lugudos, who remain unconscious, and leave the bush.

Seto rushes straight up when he sees Ray like that.

"Seto, I'm sorry, but will you put this guy on my back?

"Gru."

Seto throats at Ray's words and turns his back.

It's hard to fly with anything but Ray on board, but still if you're one kid, you can handle it, and most importantly, if you're traveling through the ground instead of flying through the sky, there's absolutely no problem.

"Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha"

Pull Ray's dragon robe and set a worrying gaze on the dark elf child.

With such a stroke of the child's head, Ray took out the whistle that had been given to him before he went out from Mystering to find the Lugudos and the others.

"You guys don't have to worry. I can protect you, but other than that, I'll call someone you know."

"Really? Everyone will come!?

"Oh. A lot of the adults in the settlement are out in the woods looking for you.... Get ready, huh? Because when I get back to the settlement, they'll definitely scold me."

To the words, the three children meditate strongly on their eyes.

I guess you imagined how pissed off you would be.

With those three heads, Ray smiles small and slaps them gently.

My parents got mad at me for doing something unscrupulous when I was a kid too... and I remember when I was in Japan.

"But I didn't let you guys get confused and run as you please, and I protected Lugudos properly. This is something to be commended for."

"No, because..."

One of the children turns his gaze to the youngest child he is nostalgic for calling his buddy Ray...

"Imitating that I'm the only one who can escape on my own, even though there's Mules... hey?

"Yeah, if I did that, I'd never let this kid die"

"Huh?"

The youngest kid called Mules, did you call him? and tilt his little neck and gaze.

(Rugdos, who were injured protecting themselves, and this child... did these two not have to panic because they had a protectable opponent named Murus?...... a normal person would definitely have panicked and each would have run off and been a monster's bait if they liked)

I'm still convinced that it's just dark elves and I'm older than I look.

"Anyway, you guys did a great job.... Oh, and with that said, you hadn't introduced yourself well yet. As I said earlier, I'm Ray, the marina asked me to come over about the World Tree. This is Seto."

Each of the Dark Elf children also opens his mouth to Ray's words.

"I'm Ian."

"I'm Kalja"

"Huh? Mules!

Hearing the three of them introduce themselves, Ray opens his mouth again.

"Sometimes I think I feel a lot of fear from now on until I get back to the settlement. I'm not asking you to trust me. I guess we just met. But..."

"Ha-ha, I believe you!

That's what Mules tells Ray before he runs out to the end.

Sometimes I didn't think they'd say it that way, and Ray only gets a look at me for a moment.

If anyone knew anything about a person named Ray, they would have given him a surprise look at how Ray is doing now.

It's usually a little too much to say... but it's still not much of a surprise, Ray.

"Yeah, I believe in Brother Ray, too. This is how you came to help us."

"I believe it too"

"... those are my favorite guys. Well, whatever."

Ray continues his words to delude him as he scratches his cheeks, which became just a little red with lighting.

"I'm a little confident in my arms, too, but if they still say I can protect you all perfectly, I can't always say so."

Originally, Ray was never meant to be an escort.

Because of its character and the presence of Seto, it is also the holder of abilities that are suitable for attacks such as attacks, amusements and surprise attacks. … it is not necessarily better suited to base defense than having a widespread attack called a fire whirlwind.

… more suited to base attacks.

What happens if Ray and Seto suddenly break into the darkness at night like a fortress, causing a fire whirlwind to roll inside?

That is the fortress that will be badly damaged before anything can be done.

Of course, it is not uncommon for a large fortress to be as connected as a city or city, but if it is Ray and Seto, it is not difficult to break through forcefully.

"Ugh... there's something even Brother Ray can't do."

Only Ray, who came to help us, seemed like nothing Ray could do from Ian's eyes.

Kalja is also looking anxiously at Ray and Seto.

I guess the two upstairs affected me. Mullus also looks around anxiously somewhere.

I gently stroke those three heads and put them on Seto's back in turn.

Just having Lugudos is very narrow if you ride as many as three others, even if they are children.

But there was also a need to help Lugudos hold him back from falling, and above all for the fatal reason that he couldn't follow Ray and Seto's speed of travel with his children.

"Look, okay? I'll blow the whistle now and call the dark elves in the woods. But naturally, if you blow the whistle, it stands out, so there's a good chance that a monster will attack you. Don't get off Seto's back because he'll be on the move any minute. And hold on tight so Lugudos doesn't fall."

To Ray's words as he would say, each of the three nods back and holds Lugudos down.

After confirming that, Ray took the whistle in his hand to his mouth and breathed heavily and mouthed it to the magical whistle...... Peeeeeeeeee! And, the high noise echoes around.

The whistle Ray has is not just a whistle. It is a type of magic item called the Magic Flute.

I sell them everywhere. It was one of the touched magic items, but still in this case, that was enough.

From where Ray is, the whistle sounds high to the surrounding area.

Like reacting to that sound, the whistle sounds return from many places in the woods.

(Okay. Later, I hope the monsters don't come this way as much as I can...)

It's Ray's honest thoughts that I'm pretty sure monsters approach the whistle sounds, but still want him to move around attracted to the whistle sounds that are ringing elsewhere, not where Ray is.

Seto can't move freely any more than he has four children on his back to protect.

Still, there are a number of skills that can play a fixed turret role, so it's not total powerlessness, but there's no doubt that it's really not the same way Seto fights, and sometimes he's not used to fighting like that.

That's why Ray wanted me to gather at Dark Elves who heard the whistle as soon as I could...

"Shit, Flying Slash!

Noticing multiple signs approaching, he sees five cobolts with spears emerge from the bush, releasing a flying slash at the same time as a tongue strike.

Whether it is due to a forest anomaly, or simply excited by the many dark elves feeding on the night forest, the eyes run bloody, breathing rough and the cobolts run from their mouths drooling of covetousness and bubbles.

If I knew Griffon was at the end of my gaze, I would usually run first.

But now the Kobolts were excited, and that was what seemed to strike them without hesitation, even if the enemy was a dragon.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

It was the five cobolts who tried to raise such a roar and strike at the Rays, but the flying slaughter flies as if to control their destinations.

With a level of five and a dramatic increase in power, Flying Slash has the power to cut even raw trees that even adults cannot hold...

Anyway, if you have powerful self-defense gear like a dragon scale, there's no way you can prevent such a flying slash with a cobolt that only has hair growing from all over your body.

"Gah!"

I guess Cobolt, who lost his arm and was able to scream, was still lucky.

Several cobolts are cut up and down the torso in two pieces without even being able to scream, causing the upper body to fall to the ground and the lower body to fall to the ground after several steps.

My guts and blood fall from each cutting surface zero... but it was fortunate for the three children that it was night now.

It was a dark elf with a good night's eye, but it still doesn't mean it's more visible than daylight.

Still, Ian and Karja are breathtaking and unable to speak while holding onto Seto.

The only Mullus was still small, and he even raised his voice of cackle and joy because he didn't understand what had happened.

(The monster might attack you, but there's no way I can tell you to lay your eyes down)

With Death Size in his hand, Ray moves closer to Kobolt, who has lost his arm and is still screaming, waving that huge blade to lightly extinguish Kobolt's life.

"Take a paragraph for now...?

"Gru!"

Seto rings, as if to respond to Ray's words.

(I hear those five cobolts were closest. I was lucky. What I don't want you to come to in this situation right now is a high number of goblins. I wouldn't care if I could burn the worst woods)

Ray explores the surroundings with Death Size in his hand.

... and Seto, who is accidentally carrying four children on his back, moves his neck and turns his gaze toward the bush.

The enemy? and Ray, who put his strength in his hand holding the Death Size pattern, exhales relief when he sees his opponent emerge from it.

Because there were two dark elves with bows in their hands.

"You found it!

He nods back at the dark elf man who sees Ray's face and asks, turning his gaze toward Seto.

Two dark elf men following Ray's gaze like that exhale relief when they see four children on Seto's back.

It was only natural to reassure him because he found the four people who were missing, but Ray talks to those two with a tough look.

"I hear Rugdos got hit by a goblin. It's probably a stick or something from the scratch. He hit me in the head, so I don't feel like using potion in the middle of nowhere. I think we should show him a solid, knowledgeable guy if we can, and then recover. Not much blood, either."

"Huh!?... Right..."

One of the dark elves who heard about Ray gave him a slightly harsh look, but still heard that the injury itself wasn't that bad, and he immediately opened his mouth with a relief look on his face.

"So what? Are we going to wait for the others to get together for a while?

"I don't know. I've told you now, if you can, you should treat your injury faster. If you wait for the crowd to gather, it'll be too late."

"So we're going straight to the settlement? If you whistle sometimes as you travel, some of you will join us. How about that way we head to the settlement while we gather the numbers?

To Dark Elf's suggestion, Ray thinks only a little…

"If that's all right with you, I don't mind. You guys know more about dark elves than I do."

"... are you going?

Kalja, who was on Seto's back, asks in a slight fright.

Most of all, what scares me is not being pissed off when I get back to the settlement, but a monster in the woods.

"Oh. Carja, Ian and Mules, you were well safe. I'm sorry Lugudos got hurt, but what, the wound will heal soon enough. Maybe he'll be pissed off when he gets back to the settlement than this wound heals."

It's probably to calm down scary kids like Ian and Karja. One of the dark elves tells you that jokingly.

Were stories like this funny enough because they are nervous, Ian and Karja leak laughter overwhelmingly.

Mullus, who was on those two sides, laughs too because he's not sure what's going on but they're laughing.

(Apparently it's okay to leave the kid's opponent to the other side)

Originally, Ray wasn't that good at handling children.

No, you can even say you're not good at it.

Ninglo Seto was just better at playing with me from time to time, and he was good with kids.

(Adults have come and calmed me down... and then we'll just get to the settlement safely)

Grasping the death size, Ray speaks to a different man than he is talking to the children.

"After that, we just have to keep heading straight to the settlement, right?

"Oh. He said earlier that the rest of us would come together while we were on the move. The more power we gather, the better it will be for us.... It's been awhile, thank you."

Ray nods back at the dark elf guy who keeps his head down deep...

"Well, then a walk in the woods at night and a spill in"

That's what he told me, and he stepped out into the woods at night.
