Legend

Ray used the sand to carry people, carriages, camels, etc. on his journey to the village of the Hundred Faces.

Daridora's men's leaderliness Naina was surprised by the sandship that suddenly appeared in front of her, and also by the fact that the sandship belonged to Daridora, and by the fact that she put everyone lightly on the sandship, as well as by the speed of movement of the sandship.

Sandy ships can be considered the best way to get around the desert.

Of course some beings, like Seto, Ray's partner, can travel from the village of the Hundred Faces to Gosh in a matter of minutes.

But it's only a special substitute, not common.

In the first place, Seto can't carry a lot of luggage unlike a sandy ship.... but in Ray's case, there is a means of mystering.

By contrast, travel on sandy ships makes it possible to carry many luggage, people and animals simultaneously.

Still, until now, sand boarding has not been used to carry luggage, partly because sand boarding is still very expensive.

"No way, I didn't expect to arrive so soon. It's wonderful. If I could, if I could buy a sand boat more easily, I'd be better at traveling and doing business in the desert..."

Upon arriving at the village of the Hundred Faces and getting off the sandship, he told Ray so after Neena had stated her thanks for using the sand aboard.

"Right. It would probably be a little cheaper if we sharpened the functionality a little bit and left only the minimal functionality behind, but it would be difficult."

A sandship is also like a status that manifests affluence just by having it at the same time as it is a vehicle.

If you go out of your way to make that status what you should also call a cheap version, and imitate what you have to devalue a sandy ship... the answer would be no.

There are many others besides Daridora who have - or were - sandy boarding in the Solraine country.

But whether or not such people imitate the value of the sandship they have.

To Ray's words, which he tells you otherwise, Naina sighs small, right?

Does the sad appearance result from letting the big commercial seeds in the corner escape?

Either way, as Naena looks sad, some frightened word echoes around her.

"As always, you're only good at wearing cats"

When Ray turned his gaze to those who spoke, it was Narsus there.

Similar to his frightened voice, he had a frightened look on his face somewhere and turned his gaze to Naina.

(They're both Daridora's men, and they know each other for sure)

Ray was convinced, but Naina, who should have been depressed to say what such a convince would do, glances at Narsus when she looks up in momentum.

"Oh, Mr. Narsus. If you didn't think you were in Gosh, you were in a place like this. I was wondering if I'd been necked."

"Wow. You didn't know I was here. I'm sure Daridora thought you didn't need to know about it."

We exchange words with each other, but the air flowing between them is cold.

Naina has no eyes at all laughing, even as she smiles.

Narsus' attitude suggests that it is uncomfortable to have a conversation with the woman in front of her.

So he didn't seem to be willing to leave each other at all while he was there, and Ray even felt like he saw a spark between them.

"Uh... it's time, okay? You can't do this here forever, can you? Looks like he's in trouble with something else."

It's this exchange all of a sudden, even though not everyone is out of the sandship yet.

Naturally the other faces are not able to get off the sand boat, and some are confused.

… Most of all, the only people who are confused are the people Augusto sent in, and the people Daridora sent in showed an attitude that I have to say again.

Still, I want to investigate the village a little early now, but wasting time here is nothing but annoying.

Nena and Narsus didn't say anything to each other because they were their superiors, but it would be honest to want them down as soon as possible.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be right back.... Totally wasted my time thanks to someone else"

"Well, who the hell do you mean, someone somewhere in there? I'd like to hear more about it."

"Don't you see? Totally, because this is it..."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd be in trouble if these foxes gave me a little something I don't want in Ray and it became an extra fuss."

"... Oh, is that a female fox? But don't worry. I'll get rid of anyone like that."

"No, no, that won't be possible. Whatever you say..."

Ray opens his mouth as if to that exchange, which began again.

"Come on. Early investigation of the village and... you know it can be a lot worse if we don't handle the bodies, right?

Nena and Narsus would have gotten me back into those Ray words. Cough up just a little shy.

"Mm, Cohon.... So, Ray. Is this all of us? No, I came here on a sand boat, so I don't think there's any other people here."

Ray nods back to Narsus' words telling him to mislead the story.

"Oh, now it's all of us. So while I'm gone, there's something unusual... no, I don't even have to ask."

If there's anything unusual about it, it's because we can't afford to be talking like this.

And it turns out, Narsus nods back at Ray's words.

"There's no problem. Zaroust is going to see a bit of the oasis now but will be back soon"

"Right.... Then it's time to start investigating and cleaning up the village"

And according to the word, all those who were on the spot descend from the sandship and enter into the village.

Especially if the adventurers sent as escorts don't know what's going on in this village as soon as they can, they can't deal with it when the monsters strike, so they're in a hurry than the others.

In fact, it will obviously be the adventurers who will be the busiest in this village survey.

We need to investigate with the escorts and also clean up the bodies in the village.

The carriage with the camel also went down to follow after such an adventurer, and the sandy ship instantly disappeared as a person.

The only thing was that the sunshine that was getting stronger on the deck was not looking particularly concerned either, though Seto was sleeping.

Naturally this sleeping rolling is not really sleeping.

As always, we're exploring whether there are no monster raids.

"Seto, that's enough! Come down here, please!

"Gru!"

That's why when Ray calls, Seto gets up from the top of the deck and comes down from the sandship.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Ray grins and strokes at Seto, who growls his throat and sweetens him.

Naina was looking at Ray like that with envy for some reason.

"Well, then I'll take a look through the village. And then... well, I'll think about it then."

"Oh, really? I would have liked to hear from Ray if I could."

Nena's inviting gaze is pointing at Ray, but beside Nena like that, Narsus is pointing some frigid gaze at Nena.

For such an exchange between the two, Ray gently shakes his neck to the side.

"What you need to do now is do a village survey. If you're listening to me here, you're not gonna finish your village investigation."

"Right. Ray's absolutely right."

"... hey, which side are you on"

Naena, who is told to have a good relationship with Ray, tells her dissatisfaction toward Narsus.

But even from Narsus' point of view, I didn't think Naina could do this to Ray, so I just flap my shoulders small.

As for Naina, who has a certain confidence in her beauty, I don't like the attitude of Narsus like that.

... Even though Narsus doesn't expect Ray to get hooked up with Naina's color tricks, he shows with an attitude that he shouldn't waste his time.

Such an exchange between the two just seems like an insane fight from the side.

Although they didn't seem to be aware of it at all.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I'm going first. You guys are gonna have a crazy talk fight here."

"Hey, Mr. Ray!? Who is having an insane conversation with who!?

It was Naena screaming when she said it was out of her heart, but the words Nalsas uttered against Naena were even more as if she were going to oil the fire.

"Not at all. I can't believe I'm such a fox."

"... hey, who's the fox, something like that? We need to talk a little bit more."

"Yeah? Okay? It's in front of Ray, and he's peeling off his skin?

If he can't hang out with the two of them who are arguing that way any longer, Ray heads inside the village with Seto when he stores the sand boat in the mistering.

Despite the fact that the sand boarding that was nearby was stored in the mistering, I can still hear the noise behind me saying that it had nothing to do with that, but as for Ray, it was honest feeling that we could hang out any longer.

"Gru?"

Are you sure? and Seto asks as he throats, but Ray gently strokes Seto and deludes him.

Seto never cared about the voices he heard from behind, but enjoying the comfort of being stroked by Ray was a priority over that.

Walking like that, eventually the first thing I saw was naturally a few humans carrying bodies out of the house.

Living in the desert naturally means death exists closer than living in a normal village or city.

Especially if you go out into the desert, it involves a greater danger than going outside in a normal village or city.

More than that, it's not surprising that some people are used to handling corpses.

But... Still, the treatment of the men's corpses was nothing but disgusting.

Is that because the body still belongs to the assassin?

Ray can understand the behavior of such men.

First, Daridora's laboratory was attacked by hundreds of people, and there was not a single survivor.

As a subordinate of the same Daridora, it is not surprising that some of those carrying the bodies knew the researchers.

And for those who have been killed by the existence of their acquaintances, friends… or family, lovers, it will be a taste of vengeance to be dead in this village.

With that in mind, there may be no choice but to treat the corpse differently...... Ray found the treatment of the corpse only slightly unpleasant.

"Hey, don't treat the body too appropriately. I won't even tell you to treat me with respect, but don't treat me like garbage"

I guess that's why. From Ray's mouth, those words came out by accident.

"Ahhh!?... re, was it Mr. Ray? Excuse me. I'll be careful now."

At first he was a man who tried to scream frustratingly, but he must have realized it was Ray who had been calling out. Immediately bow your head and carefully re-lift the corpse you had rampantly.

After seeing it, Ray goes somewhere else with Seto.

Ahead of us, the oasis, arguably the lifeline of this village.

Much smaller than the oasis in Gosh, but still enough to keep the inhabitants of this village alive, I guess.

Ray, who looked around that way, notices that there are several people looking into the oasis.

Each had the tools that Ray had never even seen, and each of the people he was looking into had expressed his own thoughts.

I feel that the less interesting sights I saw earlier disappear from my head.

Ray, a little but in a clear mood, approaches the person who was closest to him among those examining the oasis.

"What do you say? You got something?

No way, you didn't even think you could suddenly call from Ray.

The man with the voice is a little surprised and rushes to bow his head toward Ray.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. The... yeah. It was clear that it would be okay to drink this water for now. But growing fish like a gosh is probably impossible."

"I guess..."

Gosh's huge...... that's obviously the smaller one in front of me now compared to an oasis the size of which makes me want to call a lake.

Given that, it was a natural expectation that we would not be able to grow fish.

Then talking to the man for a few minutes, Ray walks around with Seto again.

The desert sun is sending intense sunlight down to earth again today.

(I think it's time to go home to the guild)

That's what Ray thought when he saw it.
