Legend

"Ugh... uh...?

Ray gets up on the bed with his unspoken voice in his mouth.

He looks around and eventually stops moving.

A few minutes went by as it was, and the light of will gradually came back into Ray's eyes as he looked somewhere at Bo.

"This place... oh well..."

Ray finally remembers last night when he looked around again and remembered that he was in a house he rented in a dark elf settlement.

We went to the woods to help the four children who were headed into the woods.

And that I helped the four of them and came back to the settlement.

That it was already close to midnight when we welcomed Elaine and the others who were heading in a different direction from Ray on top of that.

That I eventually lost my drowsiness and fell asleep when I came back to this house.

"You slept well.... No, have you slept too much?

The sun, visible through the window, is already directly above.

Isn't it nearly noon already? When I look at the clock I took out of Mystering with that in mind, Ray's expression distorts to surprise.

Nearly noon, because it was already past noon.

"Again, you've slept through a lot.... but quiet enough."

Softly clear your ears, but you can barely hear the dark elves making a scene.

It was easy for Ray to imagine that he was probably still asleep about yesterday.

"It was late yesterday, and that's about right"

Whimpering, Ray, who was finally willing to get up, leaves the room as soon as he gets back on track.

When you leave the room, it's already the living room.

And on the sofa in the living room, Earth was asleep on the sofa, as expected.

Near Earth, as yesterday, Polo sleeps with his nine tails as pillows.

(Same as yesterday?... No way)

Yesterday, from the same situation as now, I remember Ragud running.

I hope it goes on for two days and it doesn't get weird...... and the belly bug self-claims to come over with something to eat.

"Think about today after breakfast?... No, it's lunch."

When Ray shrugs, remembering that it was already past noon, Polo looks up asleep as if he had reacted to the word.

"Polo, polo, pol?

Rice? Rice? and a gaze of anticipation, Ray strokes the polo softly with a grin.

The touchy nine tails make me want to stroke forever... but for no reason, Ray's hand, which took his hand off the polo, is then directed to the earth.

"Hey, get up, Earth. It's time to eat."

"Ugh... a little more..."

"It's the mountains I want to put you to sleep, but it's already past noon. Keep it up and you'll sleep all day. Besides, you solve forest freaks, don't you?

"Uh..."

Then it was Ray who tried to wake up Ground for about a few minutes, but Ground doesn't look like he's just trying to get up.

He moved his body around the woods during the day and went to the woods that night to fight many monsters. I understand Ray is tired, and I want to keep him asleep.

But still, I wonder if it would also be an adventurer to leave the earth behind in the exploration of the woods, which will probably still take place today, and try to wake it up a few more times...

"Enough. I've woken you up many times. Don't regret it later."

In the end, I can't wake him up, and when Ray's patience comes to its limit first, he leaves the house with the ground intact.

... Also, Polo was not sure what to do, but he still felt comfortable leaving his partner, and stayed on the spot.

And then Ray leaving the house headed straight ahead is not the house that Elaine and the others are renting...... but the stables of the house that Ray is renting.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

You must have noticed that Ray came. Seto gets up with his throat ringing happily.

Even though I was falling asleep, I can tell you that Ray seems to love Seto around getting up instantly.

"Looks like you were awake. I'm hungry, and you want to make it a meal?

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

It's also true that I'm hungry, but I guess I was happier that Ray came than that.

Ray, who tried to get him out of the stables and straight to the house that Elaine owes him with Seto, stops fumbling.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? And to Seto, who leans his neck and asks, Ray takes something out of Mystering without saying anything.

Ray took it out. Seeing that, Seto tilts his neck again.

I had no idea why I was putting it out here.

What's in Ray's hands now is an owl-shaped monster Deltroy body.

Ray opens his mouth towards Seto.

"Maybe even today, we're going out to the woods. However, it is unlikely that it will be easier to think about last night...... In the first place, we're moving to solve forest anomalies, so I'm pretty sure there should be some kind of change. So..."

So once I cut the word, I take out the knife for demolition and stick it in Deltroy's torso.

That's how I took it out, the Demon Stone, which is the most important material for Ray and Seto.

There was only one demonic stone, but that's why it was so valuable to Ray and Seto.

"Gru?"

What are you gonna do? and to a throat-soaking ceto, using a running water dagger to wash his hands, daggers, and demon stones before Ray thinks.

Also, Del Troy's body, which had been removed from the demonic stone, had returned to the mysteries because the material would be properly stripped at a later date.

"This demon stone... I guess Seto should absorb it"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Ray meditates his eyes trying to feel the signs around him, keeping Seto throbbing happily at Ray's words.

(No sign of the guy spying on us around. There's no such thing as a world tree or the kind of gaze I've felt in my house before... no, considering yesterday, I can understand how few guys are still tired of waking up)

Still, it's impossible that everyone in the settlement is asleep, so maybe there's a dark elf watching over us.

I had such thoughts, but they were worried.

Ask Seto to explore the surrounding signs, make sure that no one is watching us, even from Seto, who has more sensing power than Ray, and then Ray turns his gaze to the demonic stone he has again.

(Given Del Troy's covert ability, probably)

After an unexpected struggle against Del Troy, Ray was somehow able to anticipate the skills he could acquire with his demonic stones.

Of course there is no reason.

A cross between the anticipation that you probably will and the hopeful observation that you want it to be.

Still, he decides that there will be no problem somehow, and Ray turns his gaze to Seto with the demon stone in his hand and opens his mouth.

Seto, let's go.

The demon stone thrown with such an announcement is taken and swallowed by Seto in the couch, as usual.

[Seto says, "Optical Camo Lv. III 'skills acquired]

An announcement that echoes into the back of the brain at the same time.

Ray, who heard that voice, was not particularly surprised...... exhaled as if he was relieved.

"Has the optical camo been enhanced after all"

Given Deltroy's ability to be disputed in the dark, would the optical camouflage be enhanced? That's the way Ray predicted it.

Then Ray's mouth is laughing, probably because optical camouflage is one of Seto's most powerful skills.

That's not all the skill of being invisible from the other person... except if it was Seto who would be invisible to him.

Seto becomes transparent, where physical abilities alone can unleash a powerful blow.

In other words, the opponent will bring the hostile Seto closer together without realizing it at all, and will take Griffon's unique powerful and incomparable blow without taking a defensive stance either.

For those of you who know Seto's fighting power, that would be exactly what you could call a nightmare.

Like firebraces and king intimidation, Seto has a wide range of attackable skills, no matter what Ray is. Successful use of optical camouflage could have stopped even a single army... or ravaged it if I wanted to.

"It's big that you got an optical camo.... When I was level two, I was transparent for about twenty seconds, but now what do you say?

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Optical camouflage is activated with that voice, and Seto's figure disappears.

Thus, it was only after about forty seconds that he appeared again.

"Forty seconds on level three? Twenty seconds at level two, so every level increases, it doubles? Eighty seconds at level four, one hundred and sixty seconds at level five..."

"Gru?"

Really? and Seto tilts his neck at Ray's words.

Optical camouflage that is my skill but still I have just learned. Most importantly, there's no way you can nod at it if you say what's ahead that you haven't mastered yet.

You must have noticed that your feelings were too deviant. Ray smiles bitterly, reaching for Seto and gently stroking his head.

"Right, it's not like I'm still mastering it. Is there any way I know more about my skills?... the absorption of the Demon Stone is over, and it's time to go to dinner"

"Gru!"

I guess I remembered Ray's words hungry. Seto, let's go, let's go right now! and honking his throat.

Ray tries to get out of where the stables are so he can be pulled by such a ceto...

"There he is! Ray, you were gonna leave me!? Isn't that a little awful!

Ground in a hurry encounters him jumping out of the house.

"... ah, oh"

To such a ground, Ray is breathtaking only for a moment.

Because I wondered if Seto might have seen the use of optical camouflage at such a good time.

No, there's no particular problem if you can see where the optical camo was used.

Because Seto was originally a rare species of Griffon, and using a variety of skills is something that anyone who is familiar with Ray and Seto's information would know.

Optical camouflage is also used in the civil unrest in the Bestian Empire last year. That's in front of a lot of soldiers, too.

For example, it is only a matter of time before information about it is spread, and it is true that it is in fact spread.

(Most likely, Seto will have an extra fear of being transparent. Given Ground's character before that, I'd say I saw it if I saw it. You probably haven't seen it when you don't say that)

From Earthly's attitude, he thinks so, and the two of them head straight to the house that Elaine and the others are renting.

As the house approaches, eventually not only Ray but the others make a belly sound to the good smell that drifts.

"Polaroid!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

The two squeal as if they were dragged by instinct, let's go fast, let's go fast.

... but Polo is on Seto's head.

I was usually a polo on my back, but now I'm a little far away...... I guess I have a strong desire to see Elaine's house.

Ray and Ground each smile small at the appearance of their partner, increasing the speed at which they gaze and then walk one step at a time.

And when we arrived in front of the house that Elaine and the others owed us, it was Marina who welcomed the Rays there.

"Oh, good morning. I can't believe you came by the time I was ready to eat. I'm hungry."

"Marina...... maybe you stayed over here yesterday too?

"No, I'm not. I've been here since I woke up.... Come on in. Let's make it breakfast."

It was the courtyard, naturally, that was put through the marina.

I was expecting the Rays to come, and the fact that Rays was coming undoubtedly meant Seto was coming too, which was a breakfast in the garden in anticipation of it.

"Morning, Ray. Did Earth sleep well yesterday, too?

The first person I've heard from is Elaine, who put a basket with just freshly baked bread on the table.

If the Duke's Lady finds out she's preparing a meal, some will look away to surprise.

Besides, Elaine is not just a duke's warrant. He is also a person with the alias of General Princess.

If anyone who sees this sight tells others, it will be impossible to believe it unless they know who Elaine is.

Continuing, people like Ara, Vihera, and Bühne also carry the dishes… eventually breakfast time begins for all.

"This bread is delicious. Freshly baked and soft"

Marina grins and nods at Ray's words whining as she carries the bread to her mouth.

"It would be. It was made by a craftsman known as a bakery celebrity in this settlement."

"... yesterday today, you made a good freshly baked bread."

To bake bread, you have to do it from where you work out the dough and it really takes time.

Given that most of the dark elves in this settlement stayed awake until midnight last night, didn't the baked artisans have little sleep?

To Vihera, who tells him so, Marina nods a little troubled.

"It is. But you said you'd sleep well after baking bread, so maybe you'd be dreaming by now."

Everyone nodded at the words… just at the right time, the pulse that Docun had felt before struck the entire Dark Elf settlement.
