Legend

The tree, cut from the trunk by a Death Size blow, stops moving by making sure to lean against another tree that was nearby.

Luckily, it didn't turn out like a fallen tree would break another tree.

This would be because trees as thick as Ray's slashed trees are around.

(If you think about it, this is also unnatural. I can't believe most trees are about the same size)

Many times when Ray was in Japan... that's when I've been in the mountains countless times.

That's why it's only uncomfortable that all the trees in this visible range are of the same thickness.

Even if trees were planted for logging purposes to be used in wood from the beginning, there are still different tree trunks growing there from various conditions.

That's enough to tell.

But even if you look through the Trent Forest like this, it's all there with a proper thickness.

If you measure it accurately, of course, there will be some error there.

But it feels like I've seen it this way, even if it's less, they all just look the same thickness.

(I guess you could have noticed yesterday around here... well, that's fine. Either way, it doesn't change what I'm supposed to do. In the first place, I don't even know what makes you crave this wood)

To be precise, I understand why you are craving this wood.

It's a forest that produces fine trees like this every day, so there will be many uses for it.

But if Ray asks me exactly what I'm going to use it for, I don't even understand that.

No, is it more accurate that there are too many things to squeeze?

"Ray? What's going on?

That's how Marina speaks to Ray, who was still looking at the tree she slashed down.

Ray, who returned to me with that voice, shook his neck to the side saying it was nothing, and again touched his chopped down tree leaning against a nearby tree, storing it in mysteries in both death sizes.

"Sa, for now, the role of the day is over... shall we return to the Guild? This tree needs to be submitted to the Alliance."

"Right? Right. Shall we then?"

It was a marina that hung up on Ray's words, but I give it up right away and tell him so.

He wants to get out of this Trent forest a little sooner... I guess that's what he thought.

That's not disputed by Ray or Seto.

Two and one walk straight through the woods.

(The Trent kind didn't show up after all. I slashed a tree, and I thought it would come out perfectly)

There was definitely something dangerous here because this was called the Trent Forest and most importantly, Sleisha was raided.

But nothing happens when you actually cut trees like this.

The Rays, who decided it was just pointless to be here any longer, leave the woods as they were.

"... I knew there was nothing. I thought we were gonna take some action the minute we left the woods and lost our minds."

"Can I be happy with that in this case... or should I be sorry"

The marina is also concerned about the woods where she was until just now.

I shrug as I look back...... there, I still see nothing strange.

No, it's an anomaly that I can't see the animals at all, despite the woods this size.

Even waiting this way, when he decides that nothing will happen anymore, Ray takes a spear out of the mistering.

Well, that's not the dusk spear Ray's always used here lately, it's a throwing spear he used before he got it.

Useless substitutes, like missing or rusty places like patterns and tips.

It was that spear that would make it disposable in the literal sense, but this time Ray took it out was a substitute for the missing tip.

I wouldn't stab him just for poking him normally...... he was such an eartip, but that would be different if Ray were to throw it too.

"Ray? What are you gonna do? Could it be..."

Did even the monster sense it?

That's right. Ray shakes his neck to the side to the marina asking with a gaze.

"No, tomorrow we'll find out how far this forest is spreading. Yesterday I was able to judge by the camp trail of Sleisha and the others, but it's a hassle to travel to that camp trail every time, isn't it?

"Right. It's Ray who's coming tomorrow, and I think we should get ready around there."

That's what Marina tells Ray to say, and after all, the Rays stay behind the scene with nothing more happening.

All that remained after the two and one disappeared was a forest that deserved to be called silence, only sounding around about the sound of a little bird.

"Ah, Mr. Ray! Long time no see! How have you been?

Once inside the guild, such a voice sounds.

Kenny, who is already familiar to Ray, is waving happily.

"Oh, there's nothing particularly wrong with this.... than that."

Waving small at Kenny, the next thing Ray looked at was Lenora sitting next to that Kenny.

"I've been cutting down one tree, but where do I put it? It's pretty big, so there's no reason to say yes here."

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll show you to the warehouse.... Well, Ray is a warehouse I've used several times before, so you won't need guidance."

To Lenora's words, Ray remembers when he brought in a large quantity of gamelions and when the alchemists were gathered to study Ambris.

It's true that I was busy with a lot at the time, but now that I think about it, I miss it somewhere.

"Hey, Lenora. Ray, if I'm going to show you to the warehouse, I'll..."

"Kenny has his job, doesn't he? When you're done, can I ask you to help me over here?

"It's..."

Lenora's gaze is pointed at some paperwork at Kenny's disposal.

Of course, the document cannot be imitated in such a way as to leave it alone, beyond the fact that it is necessary for the guild to perform various important tasks.

But still... Kenny looks at Lenora with a slight resentment.

To Kenny like that, Lenora turns a mixed glance of fright and opens her mouth.

"You know, if you'd done a good job in the first place, you could have left it to Kenny, right? Because I couldn't guide Ray because I didn't do my job... and even if he told me that, I'd be in trouble."

"Mmmm... Lenora's Mean, Ketty, Lactating"

"... oh, did I say something? You can't do much of your job, can you, moron?

Lenora's brow moved only for a moment in a place called Lactation, but showed no more in her attitude, and Lenora mouths her advantage.

Lenora gave Kenny a proud grin as he was stuffed and teething.

I'm usually done with Kenny, but only today I was sure of my victory, but the late grin.

Lenora must have been satisfied to see how Kenny seemed to regret it... but Ray's presence here naturally means that Marina, who was acting with Ray today, is also here...

Lenora hurriedly opens her mouth when she realizes that a similarly shuddering gaze was being directed at her from the marina.

"Let's go. I can't help but take the time here."

"Right."

It was a marina that didn't say anything more, but Ning Lo, that thing further fuels Lenora's fears.

In the first place, Marina doesn't think she's an Alliance Master anymore.

That's why I wasn't willing to say anything when I showed it somewhat loose.

Lenora, who looks a little rushed, leaves the guild with the marinas.

Sometimes we still have just a little time at noon, and the number of adventurers in our guild is currently low.

In the spring alone, I guess many adventurers are seriously working at the moment.

"With that said, did you let the other adventurers know about Trent's Forest?

As he walks toward the warehouse, Fu Ray asks.

Trent's Forest, as you can see from Ray's examination in this way, can be described as a variety of important beings.

But if anyone knew about it, they would naturally be interested there.

... Only a few so far know that Trent's woods are very good as building materials.

Even if an adventurer who knows nothing turns to the Trent Forest for interest, there will be nothing like getting it.

On the contrary, there is also the possibility that Sleisha will be raided as he was attacked.

(Well, from what I can tell about Sleisha, it's probably okay because it's only at night that Trent's Forest moves vibrantly.... well, on the contrary, does it also mean that you can encounter monsters if you head to the Trent Forest at night)

Even more so, Ray thought of that, but I guess that's beyond what I learned about Trent's Forest in the first place yesterday.

"I have a piece of paper on the Trent Forest thing for the once-request board. But they're not talking about anything in the Trent Forest in particular, so they're not banning us from going in there in particular.... If you forbid it, there will be people who will find it interesting."

"Uh... I see"

Two, some facial acquaintance passes behind Ray's brain.

Many people seem to be adventurers...... many follow their own demeanor.

So, if it's forbidden, there's never going to be anyone who gets close to it from himself.

But if that's what you're saying, not banned the other way around, but there's no monsters or anything there... what happens to that?

A lot of people would think so if they just weren't banned and didn't have to go all the way from themselves.

Most likely, some of them still lose their curiosity within themselves and head to the Trent Forest, but they can't possibly imitate it to regulate everyone's behavior.

The neighborhood would be totally self-inflicted or something.

"The place where the Trento Forest is located is a big off the street. If so, I wouldn't normally think about going there... well, people are different around there"

Even though I take care to stay away from it in the Alliance, I still head from myself to the Trent Forest, and no matter what happens as a result, the Alliance has no responsibility.

I guess that's what you're trying to say.

I don't have some idea about that. But it was Ray, but if you ignore the advice and go into danger from yourself, it would be self-blame.

We arrive at the warehouse as we go along with that.

It was Ray who unlocked and went inside the warehouse...

"Brilliantly nothing."

As the saying goes, there is nothing in the warehouse in particular.

Only a large space was there.

"Yeah, because the materials and stuff are in other warehouses, and this warehouse is not yet in use. … but over time, materials will also come into this warehouse."

To Ray's words, Lenora squeaks as she looks around.

Marina also knows what's going on around there as an Alliance Master. I was nodding without saying anything.

An adventurer who starts working in the spring sells the material to the guild, which is stored in the warehouse… in summer, with each fall and season traveling, the material increases.

Most importantly, the guilds don't just save, but they also sell and earn money, so it's not like they're saving.

Ray gets to the point quickly while understanding such circumstances.

"So where do I put the trees I've been cutting?

"Ah, yes. Anywhere in this warehouse... well, please stay not too far from the door so we can get you out right away"

"Then can we go around here?"

Following Lenora's words, Ray moves to a place not far from the door.

And in the next moment, there was a single logged tree lying in the warehouse.

"Wow... it's amazing how many times I've seen it"

There is a surprise in Lenora's whining voice.

I've seen the sight of Ray using mystering so many times before, but still, I guess it still surprises me when I see this whole huge tree in it.

"So this tree can stay like this, right? Especially if you don't cut branches or something like that."

"Uh, yes, it is. We're talking about clients doing things in person around here."

"Right."

To be precise, Dusker's men… Zumous, the alchemist who belongs to the Knights, was right to want the tree as it was to find out if it was used as building material… or otherwise.

"Then we'll go through the reward process, so please ask the counter again"

To Lenora's words, I didn't think it would be too much trouble, Ray, but it is the receptionist's important job to check the material.

Given that, I guess this is a natural response as a receptionist.

He decided so and returned to the guild with the marina to report that the forest was definitely spreading.
