Legend

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

In the summer sky, screams echo.

If this was near the street, those walking there might have heard this scream, but now that scream was echoing off the street... over.

The sky cleared blue, and as sunshine poured down as if he were claiming to be a summer intense self… Hester's screams were echoing in such a sky.

"It's time to be quiet. You said you wanted to go with me to defeat the Goblin Leader by any means. Then why don't you put up with this?"

"Mm, don't be impotent!

Screaming Hester.

That voice is better than Ray...... and you can hear it from below than Ceto, where Ray is spanning.

Yes, from Hester, who is grabbed by Seto's forefoot and hanging in the air.

At first Ray was about to go defeat the goblin leader with Seto, but Hester said he really wanted to go with him.

Even as Ray, I was hoping to take my buddy Hester who was murdered, but Ray is the only one who can ride Seto.

And if he had traveled long enough with Hester, it was possible that the goblin leader would have escaped somewhere.

What to do...... and past Ray's brain lost was the sight of Seto previously flying through the sky catching a giant bear with only his forelegs.

Obviously heavier than Hester...... on the contrary, three compared to Hester who would have been equipped with weapon protective equipment such as a long sword or leather armor...... if he did poorly, he would have about four people's worth of weight.

You can fly through the sky with just that much weight on your forefoot, so if you're just about a human being, you can carry it without a problem?

I tried from that thought...... that was the sight of flying through the sky this way.

Seto, who flies through the sky with his wings winged, doesn't look heavy at all.

There is something about putting it on my back other than Ray, but I am able to act without any problems in the sense of grabbing it with my feet.

However, the weight is perfectly fine, but it's also extremely troublesome for Seto to have a grabbed Hester rumble.

"Gru."

Understanding such Ceto's thoughts, Ray shouted at Hester.

"If you get too busy, you can't even grab Seto and drop him."

The moment I heard the word drop out of Ray's mouth, Hester's movement stopped as if it were a statue or something.

It's about 100 meters above us and the usual altitude for Ray and Seto.

But that is only the usual altitude for Ray and Seto, and for Hester, who has never flown through the sky since birth, for the first time in his life.

In the first place, this was probably the first time we had an experience such as flying in the sky, and the altitude of 100m to such a Hester would have been beyond acceptable.

(Yeah? But if that's what you mean, I had an experience of flying, too, when I rode Seto, right?

Grabbed by Seto's forefoot, he thinks while confirming with his ear that Hester, who is completely at a standstill, is silent.

Even when Ray was in Japan, such acts as flying were not so uncommon.

Helicopters, parachutes, gliders, etc., from common things like planes.

But there's no way Ray, who lived in the country, could have had a chance to ride something like that.

Nonetheless, I didn't feel any fear or anything like that when Ray first flew in the sky on Seto.

(Even if you're new to flying in the sky, is that a difference in preliminary knowledge that you know what it will look like? Well, can you convince me then)

Videos taken by people flying in the sky can normally be seen on TV.

With that in mind, Ray would have had a great advantage compared to Hester in the sense of preliminary knowledge.

Besides preliminary knowledge, I guess it's a big deal that I trust Seto.

Hester knows very little about Seto, so he can't believe it like Ray did.

"Keep quiet that way. We're already up in the woods. It's around here, isn't it? You were attacked by a goblin. If you think about it, I don't think you should speak up."

To Ray's words, Hester breathes.

I guess that's what you decided when you took precedence over the circumstances in which you were currently placed over your fellow haters.

The speed of judgment around here... or the goodness of the split was the reason Ray was eyeing Hester.

Even in the Alliance, he bows his head immediately after making an immediate decision to accompany himself for the sake of his fellow haters, even though he is afraid of the presence of Ray.

Instant immediacy is definitely more of a necessary ability than not knowing what the adventurer will get into in the middle of a request.

(Well, it's another story to see if you can hear the goblins on the ground talking at 100 meters above you)

But Ray's worries are never without reason.

Perhaps, but what we are about to fight for this time is likely the rare species of goblin leaders.

In other words, it's also an undeniable fact that maybe hearing is developing abnormally.

Most importantly, as Ray, I don't think it's that limited of an ability.

"Gru!"

Seto accidentally leaks a sharp squeal as he goes and goes over the woods looking at what's going on around him.

Understanding the meaning of its ringing, Ray turns his gaze on the ground... towards Seto's watcher.

The ground is a forest, with, naturally, a variety of trees, with many leaves in the summer alone.

The trees are glaring at monsters coming from above, unable to look down from above in many places.

But it was only a lot of places, and it wasn't entirely out of sight from the sky.

Especially if it is a griffon ceto, it is possible to see the ground from the gaps in the leaves that grow in the trees, and at the same time some places are not completely covered and hidden by the leaves.

And if the number of goblins was one or two, it would still have been impossible to completely cover up all the goblins if it had been about a hundred.

Ray also turns his gaze to where Seto is sharply gazing.

It was impossible to tell them to find goblins from the leaf gap that was growing in brackets: the whole forest, but it was nevertheless possible to take a closer look at that gap if it was somewhere and within a narrow range.

"... there you are"

What was ahead of Ray's gaze like that was the goblin I was looking for.

Not necessarily the goblin that attacked Hester's party.

As Hester said, we need to make sure it's a flock of about a hundred... that's what Ray thought, but Hester, who was hanging with his shoulders grabbed by Seto's forelegs, grumbles abominably.

"Mr. Ray, please. Hurry up and get them..."

"Calm down. We still don't know if those goblins really attacked you. Because even after you're sure of it."

"... no, I get it. Those are them."

To Hester, who assured me, Ray felt something dangerous.

Goblin hatred, and I thought you were trying to kill any goblin anyway.

If I could see my face, I would somehow understand the area as well.

However, Hester can't see Seto's face because he has his shoulders hanging from him now.

Do you want to come back? That's what I thought, Ray, but Hester opens his mouth as if to control it.

"I don't know exactly because of this distance, but I think it belongs to someone I was partying with, Halvard, who's got a goblin somewhat in that gap"

I wouldn't say it's all the same for Halvard... but isn't it natural that the shapes are similar?

Hester goes on to say more so as to control Ray's point of departure.

"Look, Mr. Ray. Can you see the stone-piercing part of Halvard turning blue? That's Darjee's... in the hobby of the guy who used that Halvard. They didn't try to cure it at all when they said it was blue or bad taste."

"... right"

I groaned briefly because I could see Halvard's stone poking painted blue, as Hester put it.

Hester was able to confirm the stone-piercing part of Halvard because the flying cet was dropping altitude a little bit.

And Hester was able to confirm the stone-piercing part of Halvard, which naturally meant that Ray was able to confirm that stone-piercing part more firmly than Hester.

"So it's settled.... All right, Seto. Let's do it. You seem like a smart goblin leader, so don't let him get away with it. I haven't used magic in a long time."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto understood! and honking his throat.

When it comes to using the magic of flames in these woods, there is no way to worry about Ray in Seto.

That's all I trust about Ray, I guess.

... Hester, hanging with Seto grabbing his shoulder, thought it was not the flaming magic of Ray's synonymous being that Ray would use without damage to the forest when he heard the words...

Originally, Ray begins flying slaughter by making it look like he can use magic other than flames.

Given that, I guess it's no surprise Hester made such a mistake.

"Hester, what do you do?

Hester, who was grinning at the voices heard above that it would be certain that the goblin leader would die, is asked that by Ray on Seto's back and thinks a little.

Goblin leaders want to kill with this hand if they can. But...

But... Seto's face was directed into the woods before Hester could answer anything.

And Ray also turns an abominable look at those in the woods like that again.

I can't see Ray's movements. He was Hester, but Seto's movements look good.

Hester, questioning such Ceto's condition, speaks of the doubt.

"Hey, dude. I'm a little weird about Seto, what's going on? Mr. Ray?"

"... I heard people's painful voices from the woods. I don't know if it's your party, but there's a guy still alive in those woods."

"Huh!? Is that true!?

Hester breathes quickly into the words out of Ray's mouth.

Maybe my party members are still alive.

Because such hope passed the back of my brain.

But behind Hester's words with such hope, Ray remains with a rugged look on his face.

Even if you live in this situation, it's not hard to imagine what it's in.

In the first place, why is Goblin keeping the captured adventurer alive? Given that, it wasn't very, but it wasn't pleasant.

Ray, who understands what that means, asks Hester, who is hanging from Seto.

"Was there a woman at your party?

"Huh!?

In that one word, Hester must have understood what Ray was trying to say. I snort sharply and breathlessly in a different way than I did a few seconds ago, but I immediately nod that there is no problem... then I know I can't show Ray my will, and I open my mouth.

"I want you to feel safe. All my party members were men."

Like Orcs, Goblins also commit such things as humans, beasts, and elves to leave their offspring behind.

Ray exhaled a small but reassuring breath into Hester's words just looking at the sight when he attacked the Oak settlement before.

"Right, I see. But... then, that's the problem."

Ray's face gets tough again while he exhaled in relief as well.

If you are a woman, you may secure it to commit the crime, but what do the men's members secure it for?

As food or to inflict abuse... there will be many others, but roughly these two.

And what Ray's ears heard was the voice of pain.

That meant there was no mistake that Ray's worried streets were going on in the woods.

"Mr. Ray!

"Oh, I know.... Seto, it's a change of policy."

If it was meant to be, I was going to use the magic of flames to wrap up the goblins and burn them to death.

There was a danger of damage to the surrounding area, but it was decided that the magic type could handle it.

But... if Hester's people are captured, naturally they can't imitate that.

If he had already been killed, such a means would have been possible... but he heard a scream of pain, so naturally he is alive.

"Hester, me and Seto are going to take down the Goblins, so you secure and protect the guy who's being captured. All right?"

"Okay!

To the cry of strength, Ray nods... jumps straight off Seto's back.

"Huh?"

Seeing Ray suddenly fall straight next to himself to the ground, all Hester could do was raise his missing voice between them.
