Legend

When Ray, Seto and Vihera were fighting each of the herds of Lizardmans...... the adventurers who were being attacked by that Lizardman had managed to leave the scene successfully.

"Who's hurt!

"I have a drink! But don't worry, no one has a wound deep enough to move!

A man who was in command of the adventurers screams, and a woman adventurer screams.

As the saying goes, about forty Lizardmans attacked us, and the adventurers are all more or less injured.

Still, as the female adventurer screamed, the injuries were mostly minor.

I guess that also proves that these adventurers were quite skilled.

A group of several parties gathered, not a few, but more than ten.

I had been asked by the Alliance to find out about the sudden appearance of a bunch of monsters, but I ran into a bunch of Lizardmans along the way.

Fortunately for these adventurers, the Knights of the Guild had already discovered a bunch of Lizardmans and would have sent a crusade request to the Guild.

Because the Rays arrived at the scene before they were devastated and helped at a point of crisis.

"So, what are we going to do? That Griffon, it was Seto, wasn't it?

One of the adventurers screams.

He's over two meters tall, has stubborn muscles on his body, and he's a power fighter who wields a great sword, and his face is right to describe him as a strong face as well.

He was such an adventurer, but he was actually a lover of cute things and had given Seto dried meat and skewers many times before.

I guess that's why I first noticed Seto's appearance.

"I mean, Ray? Then we don't have to do this."

"... but it looked like someone was hanging on Seto's leg... because of you?

"No, I saw that too"

When a woman adventurer squeals, other adventurers nod to agree with it.

I was desperate to stay away from the Lizardman herd and couldn't confirm it firmly, but someone still hanging on Seto's feet, definitely existed.

"I can't believe you're hanging around Seto and flying... you're so brave"

"Sort of. Seto's nostalgic, but after all, he doesn't make a difference to a monster, does he? What if they shook you down, or didn't you think about it?

"I don't know. It's just that Seto is a Rank A monster, and he seems smarter than the people around him. That's what makes you okay if you don't imitate it like it pisses you off."

"I mean, nothing like Seto dropping you?

"I can't say for sure. If you get in Seto's way when you're flying, that's what they'll knock you off right away."

Talking like that, eventually the man leading these adventurers opens his mouth.

"So, the question is, what are we going to do?"

"What are we going to do? You got something?

To the inquiry of one of the adventurers, the man nods back.

"Ray and Seto and... another, I don't know exactly who was hanging in Seto, but maybe a woman adventurer that I'm working with Ray here for a while"

"Oh, of that outrageous beauty... I just want you to deal with me overnight"

"Come on."

I guess I was relieved to be able to escape the Lizardman. To the words whined by one of the men, the female adventurer tells with contempt in his eyes.

"Ugh. I ran away with my life. Then you can't help wanting to hold a woman. Oh, don't worry. I choose who I hold too. I'm sorry for being such a freak like you."

"Hey, what the hell!? How dare you... I won't forgive you!

"Easy, you guys. Don't get out of the way for nothing."

When you pay attention to the two adventurers who started the argument, the man opens his mouth again.

"So, what are we going to do? Well, Ray's here, and you don't have a shot at Lizardman. Well, I think you should say hello."

"But... it's possible there's still a Lizardman left."

Another adventurer tells me that such a worry does not exist in a man who knows the strength of a person named Ray.

"Don't worry, Ray, even the army of the Bestian Empire has the power to scratch it all out, right? About Lizardman... that's about as many as it takes."

I didn't count the number of Lizardmans firmly because I was desperate to escape.

But still, there are about forty of them, and I know there are no hundreds.

No matter what Ray thought of losing to such an opponent, it couldn't be.

Most of the other adventurers share the same opinion, and in the end, they will all go back to where Lizardman would be fighting.

That's how the returning adventurers saw...

"Wow, miserable"

No one could tell who was whining a word.

But the sight that should have been said was spreading in front of me now.

"Look, what's going on? So that's it? You would be able to make a sharper blow!?

Vihera screams, scowling at the assault of Lizardman leader, who desperately sticks out his spear.

A normal adventurer would have a hard time poking.

In addition, some pokes occasionally mix attacks using tails.

But Vihera dodges and deviates from all of it.

On the contrary, he gently fists the Lizardman leader's body instead of the counter between attacks.

The blow, not very much, has not caused Lizardman Leader damage.

But...... it's supposed to remind Lizardman leaders that if Vihela gets serious, she will instantly take a lot of damage.

Because the Lizardman leader firmly confirms with his eyes the Lizardmans, who broke their bones with a blow from Vihela, slashed their skin and flesh with their nails and, on the contrary, lost consciousness even though they were only lightly touched by their hands.

My subordination, in an instant… it is that which is shown in front of me the sight of a unilateral ravage, on which the attack of the spear I emit does not work at all.

That's how you can put your fist on your body so you can whip it.

... to keep being imitated like that, for a few minutes.

The returning adventurers were fully aware that it was one of the Lizardman leaders who was leading the Lizardman who attacked them against Vihella, but still had to feel sorry for them.

So much so that what Vihella is currently doing only seems cruel from the perspective of the adventurers.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

I guess the Lizardman leader also understands that he is being deceived. The frustration is also revealing, waving the spear again.

From a human point of view, I don't understand the look on Lizardman's face at all.

But still, even from the adventurers of today, I could imagine the look on Lizardman's face stained with frustration and haste.

"Shaaaaaa!"

With a sharp exhalation, the spear of the Lizardman leader is protruded.

But Vihera easily dodged the blow and in the next moment touched the Lizardman leader's nose lightly with her fist.

The act of lightly touching rather than beating.

The coming act, which had never been done more than once, broke the heart of the Lizardman leader to the point of no complete skin.

Cancer,. A metal noise echoes around me.

The source of that sound is the sound of a spear that the Lizardman leader had fallen to the ground until a moment ago.

For the Lizardman leader, it was a spear that was supposed to symbolize his strength... but he understood he couldn't beat the opponent in front of him, but he must have lost his temper.

But what surprised Ray with the adventurers watching the sight was the next action taken by the Lizardman leader.

He lay on his back and laid down on the ground, offering his belly to Vihella.

"... Huh?

Whose mouth did the voice leak so that it could be described as missing in the meantime?

While questioning that, Ray was looking at the Lizardman leader who was staring at his belly in a stark manner.

Ray also knows what that means.

An act that is taken if the other person is recognized as a full superior… an obedience pose.

But that's what regular dogs do, and at least not what Lizardman... No, it's not what Lizardman leaders of the top species of Lizardman should do.

(I mean, how does a Lizardman leader know what a dog obedience pose is? Could Lizardman have a dog or something?

To a sight so unexpected, Ray thinks that in a half-reality escape.

And the trouble with Lizardman leaders posing as obedient was that Vihella was the same again.

No, I'm bigger than myself in front of you...... the confusion would be somewhat stronger than Ray's or Adventurer's because a Lizardman leader the size of more than two meters tall is posing for obedience.

(Perhaps you're inviting this one to stay alert?

It was Vihera whining inside without alarm, but there is no way a Lizardman leader who has nothing in his hand and is completely on his back can do anything out of this situation.

I mean, the Lizardman leader in front of us is totally surrendering against Vihera.

"... Ray, what do you think I should do?

Confused by events he never remembered, Vihera turns her troubled gaze to Ray.

Neither did Ray, whose gaze was pointed at him, envisage such a situation at all.

But at the same time, I wonder if the current sight is close to Tame in a way.

How Tamer can originally follow a monster is different for each Tamer.

With that in mind, the current relationship between Vihera and Lizardman Leader can be seen both as this and as another form of Tamer.

"That Lizardman leader is surrendering to Vihera, so what does Vihera think? If that's what you're gonna do, you can use it as an obedience."

"... obedient demon,"

He groaned small and turned to the Lizardman leader, whose gaze was falling asleep on his back.

It looked a little lost, but eventually Vihera deflects her gaze softly from the Lizardman leader.

"Go. I don't want to imitate killing a surrendered opponent. … but remember exactly what happens next time you imitate a human attack."

It was a vihella to say so, but naturally the Lizardman leader cannot understand the human language.

But still, I somehow understood that they said I didn't have to follow Vihera.

I guess I understood that because Vihera thoroughly broke my pride and understood that I could never beat the person in front of me.

That's why I figured out what you were talking about, albeit somehow.

"Shoo......"

From an attitude of obedience that showed his belly, just a little... yes, the Lizardman leader gets up with a slightly unfortunate chirp.

He picks up the spear he drops to the ground when posing for obedience, and then glances straight at Vihella and leaves.

"Don't you have to say anything?

Ray tells Vihera as he sees the Lizardman leader looking sad at any rate.

However, Vihera had shown in her attitude that she was no longer interested in Lizardman leaders by distracting herself.

The Lizardman leader, who for some reason seems to be only a little lonely, disappears from the front of Vihera with the spear in his hand.

... Many times in a few years it will happen that adventurers being attacked by monsters around here can be helped by Lizardman leaders, and eventually we will have a friendly relationship with the adventurers of the Guild... it is a story of the future.

"Um..."

Ray and Vihera, who dropped off the Lizardman leader who left in front of them, and Seto, who is eating Lizardman's meat a little further away, can be heard.

I didn't have to think about whose voice it was. Adventurers watching the battle between Vihela and the Lizardman leader until recently.

"Yeah? What's up?

"It's Mr. Ray, isn't it? Well, thank you for your help."

When a man of leadership tells him so, all the other adventurers bow their heads.

"You don't have to worry about anything. We took on Lizardman's crusade."

Vihera, who was on Ray's side, returns the words.

Doesn't seem a little funny because the Lizardman leader is the reason, or because he was interrupted where he was with Ray this way?

Either way, he was a guy who looked a little pressured by such Vihella's words, but still manages to step on the spot and open his mouth.

"Still, it's true that it helped. I never thought I'd be attacked by a bunch of Lizardmans in a place like this."

"... something like that? Well, either way, you better get out of here as soon as you can. We're gonna retrieve Lizardman's body, so we're gonna stay."

"Yes, I understand. … so please be careful"

That's what I told him, the men were leaving.
