Legend

A sudden pulse when I was eating.

The pulse also happened when Ray first entered this settlement, which is why this time he didn't imitate it to be confusing even if he felt it.

"Wow! What are you talking about? Huh? That? Like something just happened? Like this... it feels like dokung."

Ground, who felt the pulse of the world tree for the first time, looks around like he was in a panic.

That's not just earth. The same was true of Polo, who was eating meat by pulling the skewers out of the skewers just on the side of the ground.

"Pollu!? Polaro!?"

Keep the meat in your hand, polo looking around in a hurry.

But when I see that there is no such thing as a wolf even if I am surprised except myself and Ground, I shake Nine Tails as if I were just a little relieved.

Leaving one and one perplexed by their first pulse intact, the Rays face each other.

"You felt it, didn't you?

"Of course not. If anyone doesn't feel that pulse, that's what it's all about."

The first thing that came back to Ray's inquiry was Vihera, who put the bread she had on the plate.

Elaine, Marina and Ara also snort silently.

Although only Bühne had not stopped his hand from eating the salad, even as he nodded.

"You know what happened?

"... No, you don't get it here. We need to head under the world tree. I just don't know what the pulse is right now... it felt like Ray's pulse was different when he first came into the settlement."

"No?"

Although I understood the pulse as a pulse, Ray didn't quite understand the difference.

No, it's not just Ray. The same goes for other faces.

The only thing I could figure that out in this was a marina of blood muscles with deep edges in the world tree.

"Anyway, to the world tree...... Huh!?

Let's go. That's what Ray tried to say, jumping out loud as he knocked down the chair he was sitting on.

Those around them were suddenly wondering why Ray had imitated that, but Ray couldn't afford to be answering that.

Because after coming to this settlement, I felt the gaze that had been directed at me again and again.

If it was time for nothing, you wouldn't have had to worry so much about it. No, it wasn't possible not to completely care, but I still shouldn't have reacted so hypersensitively.

But... now, at this time. If you felt your gaze at this moment when the pulse of the world tree struck the settlement, you can't do it by chance.

Still, I didn't skip Death Size from Mystering because there was no such thing as hostility to me, to the gaze I could point at… or to my consciousness.

"Ray? What's going on? Suddenly..."

Vihera asks after watching Ray kick in the chair and set up a critical posture, but Vihera's gaze looks around in a hurry while she is there.

That was the same for Elaine and Marina, Ara, Buune and even Earth.

Ray is an adventurer with a deep red alias on his back.

There must have been something more certain than that Ray was acting like right now.

I guess everyone here understands that.

Stand up from the chair where each was sitting so that no matter what happens you can react immediately.

Seto, who was eating large chunks of meat, was also in an attitude so that he could follow Ray as soon as anything happened.

Dokung, and. Pulses happen again, as if they were trying to timing it.

But this pulse clearly felt different than before. And most importantly...

"What, that?"

That's what I whined about, Ray.

At the end of his gaze... a sphere of light existed in the corner of this garden at some point.

If it was night, maybe the light that seemed a fantastic sight.

But... the light sphere that appeared at this time obviously had to do with the pulsations and the gaze Ray felt.

(But I don't feel the same kind of hostility towards me... do I?

Ray, who was looking at the irregularly luminous light sphere in front of him, half-intuitively understands that there is no hostility towards him over there, leaves him close as he is.

"Hey, you okay?"

In everyone's silence, only Earth speaks that way.

Everyone's worried about Ray's body is the same, but it's still the lack of trust in a person named Ray that keeps him out of words.

Earths, who has been with Ray for quite a long time, and not a week since we met yet.

The difference was the way it appeared.

"Don't worry. Maybe I'll be fine."

If you tell Ground that, slowly... slowly Ray approaches the light sphere.

If something unexpected happens, while I can respond immediately.

That light sphere does not take any particular action against the approaching rays.

I'm just waiting for Ray to approach me as I blink the light.

And... in everyone's silence, including Earth, Ray reaches out... to that light sphere and touches it.

Dokung, and. Pulse to wake up again.

But this pulse was very different from the previous one.

Coming from where I touched it is a pure desire for help. That and the fear that my life is in danger.

It's not like the will was clearly communicated, but like the intense image itself was flowed through the back of the brain, like that.

"Huh!? Ha, ha, ha..."

Releasing her hand from the light sphere, Ray exhales roughly.

"Ray!?

Elaine was about to pull out Mirage after seeing how Ray was like that, but Ray reaches out aggressively and shows with an attitude that it's okay.

"It's all right!... okay, I was just a little surprised because it was my first feeling"

"Are you sure you're okay?

Nodding at Elaine, who looks worried, Ray once again turns his gaze toward the light sphere in front of him and opens his mouth.

"You're... you're related to the World Tree, aren't you?

To the words of Ray, who murmured with certainty, the light sphere blinks.

Are you glad you found out about yourself, the brightness of it is quite intense. That's so painful in the eyes of the Rays watching.

"Calm down."

In Ray's words, which narrow his eyes slightly, the light sphere brightens.

Ray and the photosphere are not able to communicate in words, but they are nevertheless clearly communicating with each other.

Those around them react to such rays and light spheres.

A particularly intense reaction was the marina, which has a particularly deep relationship with the world tree.

Because of that blood muscle, I am convinced that the photosphere now present in front of Ray has something to do with the world tree.

(But I've never heard such a light bulb show up before.... then this would be your first example?

While the inside is filled with doubt, the marina never puts it on the table.

This neighborhood must be from years of experience playing guild master.

"So, you want help from something, that's what you're trying to say?

To the grunting Ray, the light bulb blinks.

"... something is imminent in the world tree. So you're pretty sure about that?

Brightness again.

Light spheres just can't utter words, they don't necessarily communicate well.

Still, Ray understands that some sort of crisis is looming in the world tree due to the image that was flushed to his head earlier.

"Okay. Anyway, there's nothing I can do about talking here. Let's head to the World Tree."

That's all he tells you, Ray walks his legs straight out of the yard.

Seto follows Ray, and the likes of Elaine and Marina, Vihera, Ara and Bühne enter the house in search of equipment without saying anything more.

When only Earth silently dropped it off, but found out he was the only one left in the garden, he immediately headed to Ray's rented house.

I wasn't convinced that I would be left alone, and above all, as far as Ray and the light sphere's willingness communication is concerned, I understand that this settlement is all kinds of dangerous, and I also know that there was something in the world tree that I can see from where I am now.

Not that it's a one-meal favor, but still, for Earth, this dark elf settlement is a warm welcome.

Even if that was from the prerequisite of Marina's request to know him, I only wanted to thank him if I thought about when he stopped by an exclusive village, and I didn't want to imitate him abandoning this place because it was dangerous.

(I can't imitate that here any more than I want to be a hero, and I don't want to do anything more than that. I don't know how useful I am right now...)

You can say that being a Rank C Adventurer at Earth's age is definitely excellent.

But you would normally think that only those who were here were stronger than Earth and that the only thing that would be involved in this matter with the strength of Earth today would be suicide.

Still, Earth heads to Ray's rented house to pick up his own weapon.

On his left shoulder is his partner Polo, and even if he doesn't have the effect of his own attack, think Polo's electric shock would be a force of war.

(Plus the ability to magic reflex has the potential to reverse a single shot)

While running to Ray's rented house, Earths, as usual, turned his trust gaze to his partner on his left shoulder.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

As Earth was headed to the house Ray owed him, Ray was jumping on Seto's back and running through the settlement.

It was an act on the grounds that it was faster to run on Ceto than Ray would run, but no one stops it.

Everyone in the settlement was upset by the pulse earlier.

(I can move faster if I use the Flaming Emperor's red armor... I'm not going to use it in the settlement.)

Keep the scenery flowing as you see it, Ray turns his gaze from here to the world tree he can still see.

And I feel uncomfortable compared to the world tree I saw the day before.

(What?... Something...)

Next to the questionable Ray, the light sphere was still floating brightly.

Seto runs fairly fast, but I guess there's no problem at all with following this degree of speed for a light sphere flying in the sky.

With his gaze toward such a light sphere and his gaze toward the world tree again, Ray finally realizes what was causing him discomfort.

"Up there...... dead!?

To Ray's words, as the photosphere agrees, it blinks violently.

... As the saying goes, the leaves growing above the world tree were beginning to wither to the point where they could be seen and seen.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Seto rattles his throat and increases the speed at which he runs further.

The fact that the world tree is dying can naturally be seen by the dark elves... naturally I am shocked.

"Oh no... the world tree..."

"Why not! Even though you were still weak yesterday, you were still fine! On the contrary, you were definitely better than you were a while ago! But why... why not!

"It's over... this settlement is over..."

To the strangeness of the world tree, which is also the home of our hearts, the dark elves each raise their voice of despair.

That would have been the shock of the extra once we were just in close proximity to full speed.

And... more despair strikes.

"It's the enemy... the monsters are attacking us!

Dark Elf's, stunned voice echoes around.

Those who heard the words turn their gaze outside the settlement in such a way that they do not know what they were told for a moment.

There, there was definitely a monster figure.

Goblins, cobolts and oaks that were abnormally breeding between the junction of barriers and the junction of strays...... many other monsters.

All of that monster had slammed the weapon in his hand into the barrier's junction as if he had lost his reason.

It's not surprising that there's usually a battle between monsters.

But now, as if there were no other monsters, as if they were the only ones present in the world, they were just attacking the junction of the barrier in front of them.

"It's a monster!? Damn, troublesome people in troublesome times... what time is this?"

On Seto's back, Ray frowns.

Which should be given priority now...... it was a ray lost for a moment, but the light bulbs flying next to it blink violently.

Such a bright end, as if it were an indication of which to give priority.

"I have Elaine, Vihera, Marina. It should be okay to leave the monster to you.... Seto, it's the world tree, go to the world tree!

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

In the end, Ray chose to head to the world tree.

We need to deal with the monsters that attacked us, but we can still do whatever Elaine and the others do. Believe it or not.

Hold such certainty in your chest that it should be okay to leave this place to you, beyond being someone you should trust.

Light spheres glow violently at the condition of such rays.

Ray on Seto's back, with the light sphere, just goes to the world tree.

confused, panicking dark elves, even.
