Legend

Ray, Seto and Vihella, two and one, flying from where the merchants were being attacked by a flock of goblins and cobolts, were flying through the sky, as usual.

Until earlier, the bodies of the merchants, goblins and cobolts were visible on the ground, but given Seto's speed, they quickly became invisible.

That's how flying through the sky, Fu Ray comes up with one demon stone to take out of Mystering.

Demon Stone of Cobolt Leader and not yet absorbed.

Death size didn't exactly remind me of any new skills, but Seto is a demon stone I haven't tried yet.

(I would have liked to try it after I got off the ground if I could... given the current situation, it would be a hassle to get off the ground to absorb one of these demon stones)

If this is absorption by Death Size, it's not the story.

It's harder to fly in the sky than it is to have to cut demon stones in a death size.

No, it's not impossible, but it was definitely unstable with all sorts of things.

By comparison, Seto's absorption of demon stones is a way of taking demon stones into your body... and eating them.

That way, it's not a hard story to absorb demon stones while flying to Seto, who often eats bread starting with sandwiches while flying.

(I also got a sandwich... I'll see you later on that one)

A cage with a sandwich passed behind Ray's brain, but I immediately judge that in my head.

"Seto, can you absorb the demonic stones of the Kobolt leader while flying through the sky like this?

"Grrrrrrrr!"

It's okay! And a throaty ceto.

Usually I do it when I absorb demon stones after I get off the ground.

If it's normal, there's no way you can quickly convince me to absorb demon stones while flying in the sky.

But... happy or unhappy, both Ray and Seto have very unusual personalities.

That's the same with Vihera grabbing on Seto's forefoot, and I can't help but laugh when I hear what's being said above.

Behind what is inside Vihella, the grin that is floating in her mouth is close to a full grin.

I like myself... because I'm the man I loved, and it can't be normal.

Because that thought was coming out of my mind.

"Bye, Seto. This is the magic stone of the Kobolt leader. Try not to drop it and eat it all at once."

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Happy to be able to absorb the Demon Stone was created with Warcraft, but it would be late.

It's also big to say that Ray, who I love, would be happy if I were stronger than that.

I wish I could remember something new. With that in mind Seto swallows the demonic stones of the Kobolt leader that Ray has offered...

[Seto says, "Olfactory elevation Lv. IV 'skills acquired]

Such an announcement message flows behind Ray and Seto's brain.

"Uh... right. Well, he's a cobolt leader. Is it natural to acquire skills of this kind?"

Skills with elevated sense of smell are not skills that can never be used.

But it was somewhat uncomfortable for Ray to keep doing this and improve his olfactory skills.

Most importantly, Kobolt Leader... is the demon stone of existence leading a monster with a dog's head, so it's not so unnatural when you think about it.

No, I could naturally remember the skills of Ningro olfactory ascension.

"Gru......"

Still, Seto would have liked to learn more effective skills if he could.

Sounds a little unfortunate to me.

"Look, he said cheer up. Olfactory elevation is a skill that helps plain. You'd rather remember than remember anything, wouldn't you?

It was Ray telling Seto to cheer up, but it took a little longer for Seto to clearly regain his energy.

"Huh? A herd of goblins and cobolts were working together......?

Hearing Ray explain, Lenora asks back to such things as incredible.

It is rare, but not impossible, for monsters to work with other monsters.

However, the monsters Goblin and Cobolt were rarely seen only by monsters as strong as each other.

Not to mention, that happened when so many different kinds of monster herds were made, so it's natural to assume that the anomaly now has something to do with it.

"So, the herd, after all, has a leader species?

"Oh. There was a goblin leader and a cobolt leader. I can tell you this whole commotion, but it helps that there are no superior species like Archer or Magee other than the leader species."

A leader species is like a troop leader in Ray's perception. I mean, and Archer is an archer, and Maggie is a wizard.

If there are such superior species outside the leader species in the herd, it's not surprising that the Rays struggle anyway if they're ordinary adventurers.

Most importantly, I can get more Demon Stones for Ray, so it's never all bad.

"Right. But I've never heard of a herd of monsters of the same species working together on this herd."

If a monster of the same species is cooperating, Ray has also had the experience of knocking down several herds of goblins.

But this was the first time since this herd of cobolts and goblins Ray had seen were cooperating.

"Once the attacked merchant squad said they would report to the Alliance, so I think I can hear more from you."

"Well, if you were to sell all those crusade proof sites and demon stones, you'd be quick to come to the guild. It's possible that only merchants have their own handouts."

Tell Vihera to add to Ray's words.

I was listening to that word. Nodding as Lenora was convinced.

"If you are a merchant, the Demon Stone may have its own handover. But only the Alliance can redeem the Crusade Proof site, right? Well, I think you can mean selling crusade proof sites to adventurers..."

"In that case, I don't want to come to the guild... it must be like saying there's something dark behind it"

"Yep. Plus, you'll naturally sell it for less than the price your guild will take away from you than you would sell it to an adventurer. If you think about it, it's still in your interest to bring it directly to the Alliance."

Vihera and Ray nod naturally to Lenora's words.

... Note that Kenny, who usually comes across his mouth, is currently busy with his adventurer counterpart and could not imitate him to speak up to Ray.

That's how Lenora and Ray and the others are talking... and one of the guild staff unexpectedly approaches Lenora and the others.

You must have noticed that. It might make Lenora angry because she had a little longer to talk...... but the guild staff didn't have a particularly harsh look on her face.

For guild officials, Lenora is a serious and brilliant official.

Sometimes there's a commotion with Kenny, but that's only acceptable, too.

That's why sometimes I didn't mean to say anything loud when I took my wings off.

If Kenny caused a disturbance, the story is different.

Besides, I'm not here to pay attention to Lenora.

Purely because Ray and Vihera had business to attend to.

"Mr. Ray, Mr. Vihera. The Alliance Master is here for you."

"The marina?... what is it?

Vihella's gaze is directed at Ray, but Ray also doesn't know why he was called in.

"Maybe against this herd..."

Speak that far, and remember what Marina used to say.

"With that said, you said you'd look into something about this herd, and not about it?

"I wonder. But given what the Alliance Master calls it, that's most likely it."

"Oh, yeah? It's about the marina, and maybe you just wanted to see Ray, right?

To Lenora's words, the words are pinched as Vihera teases...... Kenny, who was listening next door to it, moves pickly.

But I can't pinch my mouth in the current situation, and I move my hands quickly enough to get my share of work done a little faster.

Lenora smiles slightly at Kenny like that, but soon opens her mouth to Ray and Vihera again and to the guild staff.

"Okay, go inside. We're talking about the Alliance Master, so you should hurry a little."

"Right. Okay, go ahead."

Guild officials also continued on to Lenora's words, and Ray and Vihera entered the interior of the counter and headed to the stairs behind them.

Having dropped it off, Lenora returns to her job again as the guild clerk escorts her back to her seat.

Kenny was turning a resentful glance at Lenora for finally letting her work paragraph.

Inside the marina's office, it was a sight as expected.

No, should I say it was better than I expected, given that the number of documents on the desk is lower than before?

Still, there's some fatigue on Marina's face looking at the paperwork on the desk, indicating that Rays was never even playing while they were knocking down a bunch of monsters.

"You seem tired enough, okay?

Words lead the marina out of Vihella's mouth.

Having heard that, Marina immediately returns a grin, even with a slightly surprising look on her face.

"It's okay. Because it was just a little rough. Better yet... the Rays are back just in time."

"Just fine?

"Yeah. This whole herd thing... probably, but now I know why"

"Really? Again, you can't say much sooner..."

As far as the look on Marina's face that leaves her tired, it was understandable that being early was using Marina's health to its limits.

Marina, who understands Vihera's care, waves and opens her tease without caring.

"Let me get to the point quickly, but there's actually been a precedent for a bunch of monsters like what's happening around the Guild right now. It's just that it wasn't Gilm that had that precedent, it was the Bestian Empire."

"To the Bestian Empire? No, well, the land is huge over there, and it's not strange to have that kind of information... well informed."

It hasn't been that long since the war.

Yet you're well informed. Marina smiles lusciously at Ray, who told her with that thought.

... I was just showing tiredness and a different colour than the gloss of a woman that my regular marina would show.

"You heard me when I signed up for the guild, and Ray had seen me make contact with other guild masters before, right? Then I don't think it's a surprise or anything."

"Still the Bestian Empire, right? Considering it was a country that fought a while ago..."

"I'm naturally splitting that up more than I'm doing an adventurer. Of course, there's an inseparable part of it, and sometimes there's a fight when we meet somewhere.... Anyway, I asked some of the guild masters of the Bestian Empire"

If we don't get on with this, the marina gets down to business telling Ray and Vihella what information she's got for now.

"There's a place in the Bestian Empire called the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts."

"Oh, I know that. Where there are a lot of subhuman monsters, starting with goblins."

Even though he ran away, Vihera from the Bestian Empire supplements the marina's information.

Even when I lived as a princess, I had a fighting appetite, as I do now.

More than that, it was natural to look for a place where we could get rid of it, and that was the information we got then.

"Vihera seems to know. Anyway, near what they called the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts, a lot of leader species showed up about three hundred years ago. It also has monsters just like Gilm today, like Goblin, Oak, Lizardman, Warwolf…"

Didn't you know that information, or Vihella's gaze could be directed at the marina intriguingly?

Ray also had his gaze on the marina so he wouldn't miss hearing what the marina had to say.

With those two gaze at each other, Marina's explanation continues.

"Speaking of conclusion, for some reason, there's a magic anomaly, and that magic anomaly itself is moving around in the form of a monster. Commonly known as Ambris. And when subhuman monsters touch the magic of Ambris, they are forced to evolve by the leader species."

"... is it possible? No, I guess it's only because it's possible that we're in this situation as a reality..."

Magic anomalies become monsters.

That's what they told me. All Ray could do was squeal like that.
