Legend

Immediately after the absorption of the demon stone of the giant cicada, Ray's prediction came to mind. Doesn't that make you a monster just like a giant cicada if you pour your magic into the creatures around it? That's what I meant.

It's possible that that giant cicada was originally a monster, but vice versa, it could have been turned into a monster by Ray's magic.

Considering that the area needs to be firmly checked, Ray, with some hope in it, moves quickly to action.

Though I thought it would be just as unpleasant to create a monster without thinking about it and create a presence in this settlement of the same strength and size as that giant cicada, so I could kill the subject as soon as something happened, so I could get Death Size in my hand.

The subject of the experiment was an ant just beside the stables where the absorption of demonic stones was carried out.

(Being an ant monster, there was a soldier ant or something... Now, what happens?

Just like when using a magic item, Ray cast his magic on an ant on his palm... but the ant was walking around without any particular abnormality.

"... er..."

Ray had decided it was something to monster, but I can't actually see any difference at all.

Aren't the ants' bodies bouncing off without at least being able to stand the magic, or the ants dying even if they don't have that much flashy movement? There was also the thought that the ant on Ray's palm was walking around fine without making him feel any abnormality at all.

"At least you want some reaction.... you didn't have enough magic or something?

Whimpering, once again Ray sheds his magic on the ants walking around on his palms.

But in the end, there is no change in the ants.

"Why? That giant cicada was definitely my magic..."

The figure of a giant cicada corpse behind Ray's brain, now inside the mistering, is too much.

Different depending on giant cicadas and ants? Thought so, but somehow it didn't seem like it.

(I knew it wouldn't be that easy)

If what Ray is trying to do succeeds, it means he can make as many unknown monsters as he wants.

In that case, the absorption of demon stones by warcraft would be more difficult than ever... I had that in mind.

Still, if we can imitate things like monster farming, we can't give up as Ray easily.

Think about the difference between the giant cicada thing and the ant thing, but the first thing I can think of was the amount of magic used.

Massive amounts of magic - for those other than Ray - were infused to treat the world tree.

Compared to the magic of that time, the magic that has now been poured into the ants exists only to such an extent that it can be called the tears of a sparrow.

(But there are quite a few guys in this settlement who have the ability to sense magic. If we open our magic here and now...)

That's what I thought, Ray, but my gaze can be directed at the ring of the new moon.

Magic item with the ability to conceal Ray's immense magic.

Now still remembering the existence of the Crescent Moon Ring, Ray once again looks around and makes sure no one is around before instilling his magic into the ants walking around on his palms.

Seto was ready to follow up on such a ray as soon as something happened, and the light sphere looked out brightly.

The magic poured into the ants increases every few seconds… Eventually, about half the time the magic poured into the world tree, the ants on Ray's palms cease to move at all.

"Hmm?"

Having questioned the condition of such an ant, Ray stops the magic from running once and pokes the ant with his opposite hand... but the ant does not react in any way.

"He's dead, is he?

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto rattles his throat as he agrees with Ray's words.

Ray drops the ant on his palm to the ground and pokes again.

But there's no way the ants are moving.

Without a doubt, the ants were dead.

"... why?

Ray had an optimistic expectation that he would probably monster, but the result was the death of an ant.

"What do you think?

Ask Seto and the photosphere, but they can't answer any more than they can both speak the language.

Still, the atmosphere made Ray understand that he didn't understand.

"Why? That giant cicada is definitely my magic...... yeah? Cicada? If you say so..."

Past the back of Ray's brain, who shrugged, was when the giant cicada was about to feather.

He stabbed ten legs into the trunk of the world tree and sucked out the sap of the world tree, even as he was about to feather.

(I mean, maybe the sap of the world tree combined with my magic can be monstered for the first time?

The imagination makes us anticipate a very uninteresting future for Ray.

Because if the hypothesis that Ray has just come up with is correct, it means he could be dying a world tree to make one monster.

No, if Ray hadn't flowed his magic into the world tree, the world tree would have completely withered.

Given that, just because Ray craves an unknown monster's demonic stone, it is very unlikely to imitate making a monster out of the breadth.

"Wow... happily lost it. No, but why is it so easy to talk about delicious?"

Dreams and disappeared thoughts are left aside for now.

Still, I was hoping to do a little experiment for when something happened.

Exhales, Ray somehow strokes Seto's body in consolation.

Seto rang his throat to encourage such a ray, and the light sphere was flying around Ray's perimeter blindly.

After enough time as it is, I unexpectedly feel signs of someone running from inside the house.

No, it's not clear who it is. Because Ray and Earth are the only people currently living in this house.

Ground, running out of the house with Polo on his left shoulder as usual, exhales relief when he sees Ray playing with Seto on the side of the stables.

"Uh, good. Ray, let me ask you something, maybe eat in the morning..."

Ray, who figured out what Earths was worried about in those words, nodded with a grin and said it was no problem.

"Don't worry. I haven't eaten yet. I just woke up a little while ago."

"Oh well."

"Polo?

To Ray's words, the polo above Ground's left shoulder squeaks a little strangely, but fortunately Ground doesn't seem to have noticed it.

The polo, a rare species of carbuncle, had a very sharp sensation, because it was a sleeping eye for Ray to leave the house, but he understood it.

That was a little too long ago to call it a while ago and Polo probably cared about it.

Ray and Seto were the only ones who noticed such a polo, so the story goes on.

"Ground seems hungry, too, and you want to go to dinner? At this hour, Elaine and the others will be awake."

"Yeah. That would help. I was starving earlier."

"... I ate all that yesterday, how well..."

Ray sees with that eye that Ground was eating a lot of food with Polo at last night's feast.

There is a lot of meat in the settlement that should be cooked most of all, so I never had trouble with the ingredients.

The ingredients, of course, are the monsters that hit the settlement.

The bodies of monsters defeated outside the barrier's junction are mostly transported within the barrier's junction yesterday.

... Unpleasant monsters like goblins only took the demonic stones and disposed of them as they were, so I could actually have been transported into the settlement by about half if I had seen the whole monster that had raided me.

Even half of them don't have any more trouble with ingredients than the massive amount of monsters they've attacked.

The oak meat in particular was well received by everyone, and the food was consumed with such momentum that it seemed that all the oak meat it had raided would be consumed.

"Yesterday, yesterday, today, right? It's not like I can save my food.... What about Ray if you're gonna say that?

To Ray's words, Ground returns the words as if they were frightened.

It would also be natural for Earths to want to say that. From what Earths has seen, because Ray obviously ate more food than Earths.

With Seto, Ray, who knew there was enough meat for this feast, ate a lot of food just here.

For Earths who watched it, it's nothing but an out-of-heart thing for Ray to tell me he ate all that.

"Really? Well, I'm hungry, too, and we're going to dinner."

"... you..."

Ground sighs and follows Ray and Seto as they leave the stables.

And when I catch up next to Ray, I turn my gaze toward the light sphere that's floating on Ray's side.

"Hey, that light sphere is the will of the world tree, right? What's that on Ray's side?

"I wonder why. I was playing with Seto at the stables, and he approached me on his own. Still, there's nothing wrong with that, so this is how I make you like it."

The light sphere flashes to protest Ray's words, but Ray goes on without the wind that particularly cared about it.

"Ma, I've been awfully stuck doing this ever since. When you can move like this, it's not weird that you want to move around the way you want."

"... is that right? Really?

It was a neck tilting earth, but if you saw the light sphere blinking in favor of Ray's words, you couldn't possibly be unconvinced.

Even the same act of bright annihilation convinces me that it is probably the power of the world tree to see if that is a denial just by looking at it as a wonder.

"Well, fine..."

Walking next to Ray, Earth turns his gaze toward the world tree visible from anywhere in the settlement.

It seemed appropriate to describe it as piercing heaven, and it was also true that there were some things that were a little unconvincing, even if it was said that the will of the world tree was this light sphere.

"More than that, Earth. What are you gonna do today?

"... today?

Ground tilting his neck if he doesn't know what Ray is talking about.

To such ground, Ray opens his mouth as if frightened.

"Didn't you originally come all the way to this forest to find out what's wrong with the forest? You said you had something to do, and it doesn't taste good to be in this settlement forever, does it?

"Ah."

To the words, Earth finally remembered why he was here.

Most importantly, things have happened rapidly since I came to this settlement, and I've been deprived of consciousness there.

"... uh... wow..."

Something comes to mind, Ground makes a voice out of the bottom of his mind that he's done it.

Keep moving and leave the contemplated ground intact, Ray heads with Seto and the light sphere to the house that Elaine and the others are renting.

"Polaroid!"

And Polo, who has Earth's left shoulder in a fixed position, also decides that breakfast will be drained as it is, kicking Earth's left shoulder and landing over Seto's back.

"... Earth seems to be busy with a lot, and you're going first?

"Polaro!

Rejoicing on Seto's back... this is how the Rays left Earth on the spot thinking something.

"Ray! Why are you leaving me!

When Ray is having breakfast with Elaine and the others in the garden as usual the last few days, such voices inadvertently echo around him.

With the sausage in his mouth, Ray turns his frightened gaze to earth.

"Even so. You're the one who suddenly stopped on the road and thought about it, right?

"That's... yes. But even if you bring me..."

"More than that, have you decided what you're going to do?

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'll be right back after breakfast. We also need to report forest anomalies.... It's just that the cause of the forest anomaly was that giant cicada, right? Well, I don't think there's much point in explaining it now."

It was a sigh of ground, but a marina opens her mouth to such ground.

"He's gone already? Then I'd like to give you something as a thank you... do you mind?

"Ugh, yeah."

Ground gets a little barometric pressure at the marina as she turns her attention.

After all, in yesterday's battle, it must have been great to receive Ray's magic.

No, precisely because you saw it get high tension from receiving Ray's magic powers.

To such an earth, Marina continues her words without looking like she cared.

"There doesn't seem to be a carriage or anything like that, and I figured you'd like something that doesn't get stuck. I got a lot of moves for the settlement... do you want the Demon Stone? And I have to give Ray the material from the World Tree, as I promised him before."

As soon as possible, it blinks violently as if the photosphere shows some will.

More than the light sphere is the will of the world tree. I guess there's still something I think when people tell me I'm going to give them my material.

Still, the brightness did not give a negative impression to the surroundings because the photosphere was in favor of giving its own material?

Either way, this is how our days in the settlements of Earth and Rays will finally come to an end.

And... the coming of an end day in the settlement meant that the day Ray would act with Elaine was also coming to an end.
