Legend

The Rays, who had finished stripping the Goblin Demon Stone and the Crusade Proof site, were on their way to the Guild.

"No, no, it really helped. If Ray hadn't told me you'd be escorting me, what would have happened to this one..."

"Never mind. The number of merchants who come to Gilm is diminishing."

"Haha. That's why this one's worth going to the guild for."

The merchant named Wallein grins over his horse's back and bows his head again against Ray walking on the ground.

The carriage was overturned and the axle was broken, but fortunately the horse did not have any injuries that appeared to be particularly injurious, so the weakest walein in this was on its back.

"Thanks to Ray, the damage seems to have to remain almost undamaged."

I was a walein to tell you gladly, but it would be natural to rejoice.

For example, a carriage.

The Goblin raid had caused him to fall over and the axle had been broken.

If it was normal...... especially in a situation like now, it was natural to throw away the carriage with the broken axle.

Also, if that happens, naturally, I have to throw away most of the luggage I was putting in the carriage.

But Ray stored the broken carriage in the mistering.

The axle is an important part of the carriage as well as costly to repair.

But still, it's obviously cheaper than building a carriage from nothing.

Other than that, many of the products stored in the mysteries can be sold in guilds.

Not all products are safe, of course. Some items were not sold due to the impact of the carriage falling.

This one, like the carriage, doesn't lose a lot because it allows you to use what you should have been thrown away as is.

Without Ray, it would not have been possible to live as a merchant from now on. There would have been so much damage, but thanks to Ray, it was done with minimal damage.

And I've also given away all the demonic stones and crusade proof areas of Goblin, so eventually it'll be enough that maybe it's a little profitable.

It still affects that Goblin's body was beautiful.

Even though it was beautiful, many goblins were cut up and down the torso at Ray's swinging death size, cut left and right from the head, cut off the head, and as such.

Seto's blow smashed his head, his torso smashed, he cramped with poisonous nails, he blew bubbles, he was burned with firebraces… or some goblins were slashed and torn to pieces his guts off to the ground by a blow of Vihela, or he is dead, although there is no trauma with his immersive palms.

We were fortunate to be able to strip away demonic stones and crusade proof sites, even if they had a dark blood odor or gut feel.

If, as Ray has done so well here lately, he used magic from the sky while riding the ceto to burn up a flock of goblins, the body would completely turn into charcoal.

Naturally the crusade proof site, the magical power of the flames that also the demonic stones in the body turn into charcoal is astonishing... that Ray's magic was too powerful for the aspect of stripping away the material.

I'm just totally lucky for Wallein on this one.

If the situation was that Wallein's carriage was being chased by the Goblins, Ray would have shot the magic of the flames from above to the ground as usual, without any need to consider the enemy allies at all.

Then naturally, neither the goblin nor the goblin leader would have been able to strip the material.

"At all, I usually say I don't like people, but sometimes this happens."

Ray walking on the ground and Wallein riding a horse walking next to it.

Vihera squeaks as she looks at those two.

Most of all, I'm complaining in words, but what I see in Ray is a gentle gaze at someone I love.

"... Oh really?

Seeing what Vihera looks like, an adventurer woman blinded for a moment...... Meena asks Vihera to delude herself into something.

Note that the other escort is a man by the name of Giacomo, but this one was blinded by the beauty of Vihera and was not in a situation where words could be uttered.

"Yeah. Why do you think Ray, who usually travels on a ceto, walks on the ground?

"Huh?"

I guess Vihella's words poked me in the nuts. Two of Meena leaning her neck and walking forward...... look at them and one head to be exact.

"When you took the horse off the carriage, the horse was a grown man, wasn't it?

"With that said, right. I was so excited when Goblin was attacking me. Maybe I was tired because I was rambling in a weird position...... or something?

"No, I'm not. No, there may be that, but the bigger reason was because Seto was there. As you know, Seto is a Griffon, a Rank A monster. Besides, omnivores... I prefer meat one way or another, right? And then... you know what I mean?

"Ah."

If you say so much, Meena figured it out.

Griffon is a natural enemy for horses.

"Of course Seto is smart, and I wouldn't try to attack a horse owned by someone who's not even wild. But horses don't know that.... No, you may know if you spend some time with Seto, but you just met him, right?

Many times before, Vihera has seen the sight of a horse not afraid of Seto… getting used to it, acting together and taking time after time, although at first she was afraid of Seto.

The most striking example of this would be the evening wheat pavilion in the Guild.

There are naturally many other horses besides Seto in the larger stables compared to regular inns.

The horse, too, was scared of Seto at first, but if we lived together for a few days, we would know that Seto was not the kind of person who would do us harm, and even if Seto was in the stables, he would take an easy stance with no strength.

I've seen that sight so many times, Vihella, but still, if it's not a specially trained horse, it doesn't mean Seto won't move from the beginning.

After explaining the horse, Vihera turns her gaze to the walking Ray.

"Because I know that, Ray is doing it and sending Seto out for reconnaissance. Don't let the horses on Wallein frighten you."

"... Ray, you're sweet"

Meena listens to explanations from Vihera and squeaks.

Seeing Meena like that, Vihera turns from the grin she had floated until earlier to some vague grin.

"Right. It's sweet if you say so... it's just an unmistakable fact that I'm not good with people, like Ray says. In fact, Ray doesn't condone hostile opponents."

Vihera also hears a lot about what Ray has been up to.

For example, in a war waged with the Bestian Empire, you cut off the limbs of the aristocracy of the allies that have attacked you?

However, when I gathered the information accurately later, it was both arms, not limbs.

Vihera naturally knows that the rumors are going to get bigger in the spreading.

But I had a lot of difficulty gathering more information about it, and I even ended up using white gold instead of gold coins.

Naturally. Very few were in the place where both arms of the nobility were amputated.

Still, being able to obtain information means that someone leaked the information.

Anything the nobleman asked me to do, and at the same time someone I knew who was a subordinate of Larks Border Uncle who had investigated the matter, and the man who sold that information to Vihera, like he hit a play, said so and laughed.

... just to say who is the most miserable in this matter, it would still be that nobleman.

Because when Vihera asked Ray about it, she really forgot.

I told him everything I knew about Vihella at the time, and he finally remembered.

"Hostile opponent, is it?... Is there someone like Ray who's hostile to a strong opponent?

For Meena, I don't think there's anyone who's hostile to Ray, although Ray isn't just a close look at his prowess.

At least not least, Meena never wanted to be hostile.

"Yeah. That's the personality, isn't it? So there are so many enemies."

Vihera has also known a person named Ray for some time.

That's why I know it's not uncommon for Ray to be isolated by various opponents.

(Most of all, it must be true that some people like Ray's attitude like that)

For example, myself. For example, Dusker.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Thinking about that, I can inadvertently hear Seto squeaking from the front.

"Ray!"

"I know!

Even if Vihera didn't say it until the end, Ray had already kicked the ground and moved forward... running toward those who heard Seto squeal.

Vihera, who saw it, soon follows Ray, too.

"I'm just going to see how things go, you guys are protecting Wallein! When the monster shows up, call us!

Shout to Meena and Giacomo.

Tell Ray to call us when the monster shows up again while they focus on what's going on up ahead.

"Hey. Hey. What do we do?

Giacomo, entrusted later, asks his partner Meena worryingly.

I had some confidence in my strength because I would have been escorted by Wallein to the Guild at a time like this.

But it must have been a strong shock to have been attacked by a flock of goblins and overthrown the carriage. It sounds like a fine voice somewhere.

"You know, it's not like we're gonna be the only ones protecting Mr. Warrain the whole time, is it? Then it won't matter until Mr. Vihella and the others get back. Mr. Wallein!"

"Yes, thank you for the escort."

Moving his horse, Wallein, who came near Giacomo and Meena, smiles and tells him so.

Is it because of Wallein's bravery problem, even though Ray and Vihella are no longer at war, and still not in a hurry unlike Giacomo, or because he's on a horse, he can get away with it as soon as he has to?

Whatever the reason, Wallein was now calmer than Giacomo the escort.

Meena exhales at the appearance of such a partner.

"Look, we'll be on guard around here."

"No, but I do. If the goblins come out again, there's no carriage or anything this time, okay? If that happens..."

There is no winning chance, he said. Giacomo gives a look of despair.

Giacomo's heart had been broken by the absolute desperation of Goblin against him.

(When Mr. Vihera was there, he put it under his nose... No, I guess he was distracting himself from the weakness he had in him by focusing on Mr. Vihera. Besides, it's true there's no carriage)

Meena and the others had the carriage overthrown before the Rays could help her, but standing in front of that fallen carriage prevented her from being attacked from behind.

But the carriage is in Ray's mysteries now, too.

If the goblins attack, we need to worry about being attacked from all around us.

I wanted to refrain from that, too, Meena.

(but......)

Turn your gaze to Ray or Vihera who headed for you.

Ray and the others would probably be here any minute this time.

That's more reliable than fighting a carriage on its back.

"You don't necessarily mean the monsters are going to attack you for sure! Look, I'm gonna be on perimeter alert now anyway!

If you have to, you have the strength to make sure you feel safe.

While relieving herself of that, Meena encouraged her partner.

Time returns a little.

To avoid scaring the horses, it happened when Seto was ahead of the Rays and scouting what was going on around them.

Instead of flying in the sky as usual, Seto, who was walking down the street, accidentally turns his sharp gaze towards a tree that grows only one nearby.

If there were just trees, Seto wouldn't have imitated that sharp gaze either.

But... Seto's gaze firmly captured the presence of someone behind the tree.

What sticks out of the tree is definitely the tail. I also understood it was definitely a warwolf because of the height of its tail and above all the smell I had smelled before drifting from it.

It is unusual to have one warwolf who often lives in a group.

Still, that's what I thought Ceto was about to attack us more than hiding behind a tree...

"Gru?"

Tilt your little neck unexpectedly.

I felt the smell coming from behind the tree was a little different than it had been a few seconds ago.

It smells like a war-wolf-like beast smell and at the same time, like you're sweating a lot, like that.

Using olfactory elevation, it became apparent by the time it was clear.

That's what bothered Seto, using an optical camo to get closer to the tree...... behind it, he discovers the figure of Warwolf wrapped around his body in black fog, ambris.

Seto, who found the existence we were looking for, rang high to let Ray know about the matter.
