Legend

It was an unexpected sight for the Rays to see through the woods and arrive in front of the settlement.

Several bodies, corpses and bodies illuminated by bonfires.... exactly the kind of sight you deserve to call a pile of corpses.

Still, the Rays didn't grieve the whole line, probably because all of their bodies were monsters who had fought over and over in the woods like Goblin, Cobolt and Oak.

There were several other kinds of monster bodies that Ray had never seen, but Ray, who saw them, gives an unfortunate look.

The Death Size, which is held in the hands of Seto and Ray, who have been raw in the world by Warcraft, grows by absorbing the monster's demonic stones.

However, the condition is that Ray or Seto must participate in the battle against monsters with demonic stones to match the demonic wavelengths with monsters.

There's nothing special about fitting magic wavelengths, but the act of participating in a battle is imperative.

In other words, there is no reason to make a request to deliver Demon Stone to the Alliance to obtain Demon Stone with ease and thereby grow......

(Like a wolf with three grown horns... oh, don't even look at a monkey with four hands over there for the first time. And that's water? Oh, slime. But I've never seen black slime before.... I could only defeat one unknown monster on mine, over here...)

I was only a little envious of Ray, but now I approach a group of dark elves on the side of the barrier's junction if not the other way around.

Some of that group looked like optis and marinas, and there was no doubt that they were in command here.

(In Optis' case, I guess he was in the fight for nothing old.)

Ray opens his mouth as he sees the tip of Optis's wand painted on his blood.

"Four children, including Lugudos. I brought you here safely. Seto."

"Gru."

Seto comes forward with four children on his back to Ray's call.

The look on Marina's face when she sees it distorts into relief.

No, the marina wasn't the only one who appeased. All the dark elves gathered on the spot had a relief look on their face.

"Lugudos!"

"Ian!"

"Karja!"

"Mules!"

It must be a family of four each. Getting closer to Ray as he calls his name.

I wouldn't be surprised if I were supposed to be scared of Griffon, but right now I'm approaching him with no regard at all for Seto if he's only conscious about his own child.

And embrace, scold, and rejoice at the three men on Seto's back.... Yes, the three of you.

"Lugudos! What the hell is wrong with Lugudos!?

Dark elves, who would be Lugudos' mother, scream when they see Lugudos unconscious.

I'm bleeding out of my head, and I'm unconscious, so I guess it's natural.

Ray calls out to such a mother.

"Apparently he took refuge in those three and got beaten with a stick or something by a goblin. I thought I'd recover from the potion, 'cause it's the head that got beat up. I was wondering if I could make it heal on my own over here, so I left it there. You should see someone with more knowledge before you recover."

"... thank you"

I guess my eyes were only on what Lugudos looked like. The mother finally realizes what Ray looks like and breathes only for a moment.

This mother, with the ability to feel the magic, was on the spot when Ray removed his crescent moon ring.

That's why I know how much magic Ray actually has, and I even learn to be afraid.

But... still, I wasn't polite enough not to say thank you to the person who helped my son.

"Never mind. I did this because Marina asked me to, too.... Better to get back inside the settlement and treat it sooner"

To Ray's words, his mother and his father, who was near him, bow their heads deeply and return to the settlement with Lugudos.

Dropping it off...... I noticed that the three families, Ian, Kalja and Murus, also began to say thank you when they came to Ray.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, Kalja..."

"Let me also thank you for Ian."

"Thank you for still helping the little Mules. What could I really have done if something had happened to this child..."

One thank you after another, Ray wonders how to respond subtly.

I'm not used to people saying thank you originally, Ray.

Lost for a little while how to say it...... eventually sighs small and opens his mouth.

"Never mind. As I said earlier, this is what I took on because Marina asked me to. Besides... it's not like I didn't get anything either."

Everyone around them gives a strange look to Ray's words telling them so.

But Ray's words are never lies.

This was the best harvest I had ever encountered to get the demon stone of Del Troy, an owl-shaped monster.

In addition, the enhanced fly slash can be used many times, and the pane burst was less than that, but there is an opportunity to use it, and although it is not perfect, it can be used to some extent.

(Besides, the children were able to help safely.... no, not all of them are safe considering Lugudos injuries, but I'm pretty sure he was lucky around not getting eaten and killed by goblins nonetheless)

In Ray, the final balance of payments is positive, so the matter is calm this time around.

There was also something subtly uncomfortable about being complimented to a large extent.

"Oh, the others are back."

I guess I didn't mean to cover Ray's uncomfortable, but still such a voice inadvertently rises from one of the dark elves.

When those on the spot turned their gaze toward the woods, some dark elves just showed up.

Most of them have emptied the arrows, and many have been somewhat injured.

Still no sign of the injured, which can be called fatal injuries, the dark elves, who were near the settlement, exhale in relief.

Ray, who was quickly dropping off to get closer to you with potions, drinks and light food, turns his gaze toward you for signs that he was approaching unexpectedly.

There, as usual, is a marina wrapped around a party dress with a wide open chest and back, smiling and opening her mouth to Ray.

"Yes, good luck.... thanks to Ray I was able to help those kids safely....... thanks"

"No, I..."

The dragon robe hem is accidentally pulled when Ray tries to open his mouth.

As Ray turned his gaze downstairs, Mullus, who should have been held by his parents until a short while ago, was caught in the dragon robe.

"Stay, stay"

"Uh... yeah. What's the matter with you?

"Tocha or something, say me."

Me? and lean his neck toward Mules' words, but when Ray turns his gaze toward Mules' parents, he can bow his head again as deeply as he did earlier.

(Me... Oh, thank you)

Having seen how it went and finally understood what he wanted to say, Ray replies to Mules' parents by just nodding small for now.

And still gently pushing Mules' back pulling the hem of the dragon robe, making him head toward his parents.

"Look, for now, sweeten up to your father and mother today."

You might get angry, but the word swallows and tells you that there's no way Mullus realizes Ray's sincerity, and he runs under his parents with a grin that makes the watcher happy.

"You're pretty used to treating kids, aren't you?

"... do you?

To the marina squeaking unexpectedly, Ray tilts his neck.

Because I had the feeling that I was never used to treating children myself, let alone good at them.

But from Marina's eyes, Ray seemed accustomed enough to treat the child.

I guess this neighborhood is purely the difference in how they feel.

"Anyway...... thanks for helping these settlement kids. I didn't ask for anything from the World Tree, and I still appreciate your help."

Rather than the usual glossy grin, Ray opens his mouth with a slightly unexpected look on Marina's expression of pure gratitude.

"Don't worry about it. It's a favor from the marina, so I don't know what this is about."

"Oh, Ray. Can I say that? Maybe you forgot, but I'm Guildmaster of the Guild, right? If you're going to listen to me for anything, maybe you're going to ask me to do something I can't do?

Ray also smiles as if he finally got me back on the marina telling me with a pranky grin that makes me want to say what the grin that was floating a moment ago was.

"This time it's special. If you want to make a request, get the right reward."

"... right. If we ask for something, we'll have the best reward. That's the reward of two things in this world..."

Many of those who watched Marina and Ray from around them are blinded by that grin that makes the woman feel glossy.

Though when I saw my husband and lover blinded by such marinas, acts such as angry women stepping on their feet and limping their bodies also resulted in a mass production of screams.

"Wow. This is surprising... Hmm, maybe not bad. You can have just the right players."

He smiles funny as Optis watches Ray and Marina interact.

For Optis, Ray was a sightseeing opponent inside.

No, in the sense that you'll deal with me, you can say that as my granddaughter's son-in-law, it's my best choice.

But soon I shake my head small and sideways, remembering that Ray is human.

(Life expectancy is too different between dark elves and humans. Marina in particular receives stronger clan blood. Even with those two together, the marina will just grieve in the end......)

Regardless of whether it was a temporary relationship if you wish your granddaughter happiness, only Optis, who doesn't know what kind of person Ray is, marriage was definitely not an admissible thing.

Still can't say anything strong about the marina, I guess, because there's something to look at and feel about Ray.

I'm definitely human in appearance, but the magic that resides in me is a very unlikely substitute for human beings.

The unnaturalness kept Ray from being described as just a human being, even in Optis' eyes.

(Well, you have all that magic. There's nothing like dying in a few decades like a normal human being. Then it is not necessary to decide what Ray is like here and now. Besides......)

Turning his gaze to his beloved granddaughter, Optis sees Marina's face as a woman there.

If you say anything here, it's probably not going to be a lot of things, which Optis has known for a long time now.

Back to back with such an optis, there's never much of a man staring abominably at Ray.

Ray had tremendous magic, temporarily restored the world tree, and even headed into the woods to find the missing children, eventually rescuing the four children.

With all this credit, I can say that it is the savior for this settlement.

But... Still, I can't help but be jealous as a man that a very attractive woman named Marina is close to Ray.

Some have known the marina since before she left this settlement, while others have been born since the marina left.

It was a marina that was gathering the gaze of such men, but he didn't seem to care about it at all.

I understand that I originally look better than people, and I've been spoken to more than once since I was an adventurer.

Some of them had attacked to forcefully relate, but they had thrown it all away.

To the extent that I've now been gazed at by a man, I don't feel anything in particular.

... but if that gaze is hostile or murderous, it's different.

The marina opens her mouth as she streams the gaze that is directed at her.

"Come on, the kids were safe anyway, and anyone who doesn't have anything to do, please go back to the settlement. 'Cause I'm still waiting for the people in the woods to come back."

Well, I'll wait too.

To Ray, who tells him as he strokes Seto, Marina opens her mouth with a grin.

"Oh, okay?

"Oh. Elaine and Vihella aren't back yet. And other faces."

To Ray, who tells him so, the men of the surrounding dark elves turn their envious gaze... and still go straight back to the settlement knowing that being here any longer is just going to get in the way.

And Ray waited in front of the settlement for Elaine and the others, like Marina, Seto and Optis, to return.
