Legend

The day after Ilse's enemies are over, Ray wakes up at the wheat pavilion at dusk, as usual... not at the marina's house.

In the end, Ray's officials and Ilse came to the Marina's house yesterday after that battle and talked a little before falling asleep.

... Ray should have slept on the couch in the living room, but if you noticed, it was on the bed.

"Hmm...?

It was Ray looking around with a lack of sleep, but all Ray can do to an unrecognizable sight is just stretch his back.

No, I guess it would have been different if I hadn't fallen asleep, but now Ray was totally asleep.

Sometimes you don't get enough sleep, but I guess it's still the biggest thing you're in love with.

"Uh..."

About five minutes to shut up and look around.

Ray looks around again to see if his consciousness has finally recovered from falling asleep.

"With that said, you stayed at the marina's yesterday.... Totally forgot."

Whimpering but getting on with yourself, leaving the room.

"Oh, good morning. I could have slept a little more."

That's what I said in the living room, Marina.

Seeing him cooking somewhere fun, Ray realizes that he and the others besides the marina are not there.

"What about the others?

That's what I heard, but Ray found Elaine and Vihella both in the courtyard.

Because the sound of a fierce battle is being heard all the way inside the house.

Turning his gaze to you, there's Elaine waving a whipped mirage and Vihera packing her time as she dodges it.

A battle that's a little hard to call a mock fight.

Of course, for the two of us who are actually fighting, the perception of mock warfare would be fine.

But if anyone who knows nothing sees this sight, it's a battle that seems like it's also a duel.

For both of us to call it first-rate...... no, it has the power to call it first-rate, superior first-rate, but so it looks like a completely different sight for the others, even if it's only a mock fight for both of us.

But Ray is one of those few super-class beings to be called, and so is Marina.

That's why even with all that intense fighting going on in the garden, I can understand that it's a mock fight, and there's nothing more noisy than it needs to be.

"Ara and Ilse are still asleep. Oh, and if you say so, Beaune's still asleep."

"Whatever Bühne is... that's unusual"

I shrugged so much because I heard Ara was still asleep, not about Ilse.

For Ara, Elaine takes precedence over everything.

That's why Arla was so intoxicated by Elaine that it wasn't so strange to prioritize Elaine over Arla's own life.

That's why it was surprising to Ray that Elaine woke up... and even though she was in a mock fight with Vihera, she was still asleep.

"You must have been tired of one thing yesterday. Looks like Ilse and I were talking late."

"Uh... I see"

Ray would also say that Ray is Ara, not to mention the closest of those who are currently in this house, including the wings of the Red Lotus.

Of course, Ara is officially named Ara Scarley, and she is in the position of the three women of the Earl of Scarley family.

It's completely different from the ordinary Ilse in the sense of a noble lady, but each of the faces here is often out of common sense in many ways.

Among them, it could be said that Ara, in the position of Countess Ning Lo, is still close to the average person.

... Of course, Ara also has an extra strong arm than the adventurer guy around.

But...... still, I'm pretty sure it's overwhelmingly inferior to the Rays' fighting power.

Note that Büne is inferior to Ara in terms of pure combat power, but in Büne's case, he is unable to communicate well with others.

Vihera can fully understand Bühne's will, but it would only be impotent to tell Ilse to do it, who has hardly ever dealt with Bühne.

For that reason, Arla was the closest of the Rays to Ilse, which was the natural ending.

Maybe it doesn't matter what your abilities are to get along with, but at least that helped this time.

"Then you can let Ara and Ilse rest. Luckily, Ara didn't originally work, and Ilse isn't the only one who does."

"Ara's working for a while, isn't she? Elaine's escort, cooking."

"... Whatever Elaine's escort is, I don't think cooking is the job of one Knights regiment leader."

Ara has the knights...... even if she knows she is the leader of the Elaine Guardian Knights, she makes it normal for the Knights to do things that are not meant to be.

I guess this is a big deal about Ara being familiar with Elaine's childhood.

In fact, I still leave the Knights to the vice president, because this is how I am the only one who comes to Gilm with Elaine.

Most importantly, protecting Elaine is the leader of the Knights on the mission, so what we're doing isn't always wrong.

"That's why it sounds like Ara, isn't it? If Ara was the Knights Commander, he wouldn't have been familiar with us so far."

"I won't deny that"

Ray nods at the marina's words...... eventually the marina turns her gaze out the window to the courtyard.

"Well, now that we're ready for dinner, will you call those two? Ray would be the best way to stop those two."

"... right"

Ray, who turned his gaze towards you so that he could follow the marina, eventually nodded with a little giving up.

No damage has been done to the garden, but the battle is strangely intense.

We're both convinced this is a mock fight, so I guess even if it looks like a fancy fight like this, there's actually no damage in the courtyard.

Ray knows that too, so he goes to the courtyard even if he's awake and smells somewhat troublesome.

"Haha, haha! Yes, it is! You have to be!

Vihella laughs enjoying the fight while trying to narrow her distance straight from Elaine.

"You think it's that easy to get me close!

Keeping such a vihella close, Elaine waves a whipped mirage endlessly.

Isn't that what Mirage is all about?

At such a rate that it was not surprising to think so at first glance, Mirage was wielded.

(I understand they're both mock fights, but you're doing your best within that range)

Elaine doesn't use dragon-language magic, and Vihera doesn't use a single hit special skill such as Immersion Palm.

(I've become synonymous with the battle against a lot of people, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Elaine's dragon-language magic may be enough for a widespread attack. In fact, they used dragon language magic to work pretty well in the war against the Bestian Empire as well)

Compared to such Elaine, Vihera does not have a widespread attack.

… but that is why the perception that Vihera is not dangerous is wrong.

If Ray or Elaine are good at widespread attacks, because Vihella is a one-on-one style of combat, opposite of those two.

No matter how sturdy the armor you're wearing, it's usually very troublesome to ignore the armor's defenses and pass shocks through your body if you just touch it.

(Whatever...)

And, Ray switches consciousness.

You can keep watching the fight, but I'm here to let you know it's breakfast time, and you can't keep it that way.

That's what's going on with the two of us fighting as hard as we can take the money, Ray breathes heavily and opens his mouth.

"That's it! Simulated battle, over!

Ray's voice echoing around.

Not a caged rage of anger, but a pure cry to get your voice to the two of you.

"Slow down!"

"Oh."

Such Ray's voice naturally reaches the ears of both of us.

And Mirage, who was creating the junction, is returned to the state of the long sword, and Vihera, who was about to jump into Elaine's pocket for a gap in the junction, solves the setup.

"Totally, you guys are fine after all that noise yesterday."

"That being said, the noise itself was huge, but there was no strong opponent"

That's why I'm so desperate.

Vihera tells him so, making him feel the aftertaste of the battle.

"I wasn't that far away, but it would be a good exercise to deal with Vihella."

Elaine says so with a grin as she gently descends the Mirage and then tucks it in her sheath.

"Well, I see what you two think, but it's time to get ready for breakfast. I have a job to do today, and shouldn't I just leave it around there to move my body?... Well, I think Elaine's gonna be waiting here."

"Cu!"

Yes, Ray tells me, there is a squeal to answer instead of Elaine.

Ray, familiar with the squeal, turns his gaze to those who hear his voice.

Then, should I still say it, or should I say it for granted... there was the figure of a yellow.

The yellow on Seto's back squeals with joy when he sees Ray.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

And Seto sounds his throat happily, naturally.

It was only a few hours ago that Ray broke up with Seto.

Still, Seto, who likes to sweeten Ray, still wants to sweeten him this way.

"Seto and Yellow, you look good, too.... Well, aren't you feeling tired from yesterday's commotion or something"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"Cu!"

To Ray's words, the two deserve it! Ringing in such a way.

Stroking those two, Seto delightfully narrows his eyes, but was he satisfied that the yellow could be stroked for about ten seconds, or as he was, his master...... flies under Elaine.

"Phew, what's up? You want the yellow to be as sweet as Ceto, too? Here."

From above the scale, Elaine stroking the yellow.

"... I'm a little jealous."

Seeing the two of them like that, Vihera squeaks just a little envious, as she put it.

Ray has Seto, Elaine has Yellow, and she has such things as a favorite game frame and a pet frame.

But there is no such thing in Vihera.

(I wish I could have done it that way somehow when I absorbed Ambris... I can't)

In the first place, no such margin existed when Vihella absorbed Ambris.

That's when I finally won this raw by dying.

Even if they ask me if I want to do the same thing again, I would definitely dismiss that.

"Vihera has a beaune, right?

When Ray whines as he strokes Seto, the vihella who hears it blows out unexpectedly.

"If you put Beaune in that frame, you'll be pissed off."

"Really? In Bühne's case, if you feed him until he's satisfied, he'll be satisfied."

"... it's..."

To Ray's words, which went on, Vihera gets stuck in words even as she tries to say something back.

In fact, when Bühne was little - and he's still small enough - his obsession with food is strong, either because of the impact.

Also, eat as much as you wonder where it goes into that body.

Still doesn't look fat, I guess, because it's moving more than eating at training and request.

"Mmm!"

And even now, just as Bühne woke up looked out the window, he was leaking his voice telling him to come quick.

I was usually a beaune with no particular look to change my expression, but that changes the story when it comes to food.

To the voice of such a beaune, the Rays go straight back inside the house.

Seto and Yellow also travel near the house and fall asleep.

Until earlier, the two were at a distance because of the battle between Elaine and Vihella, but the mock battle was over, and this is how they must have come closer now.

When we entered the living room that way, breakfast such as freshly baked bread, soup, ham and salad had already been served on the table.

"You're back. Shall we make it a meal, then?... Ray and Vihera are going to be busy with a lot of things today. Especially with Ray about yesterday, there might be a call from the guild."

"From the guild? Isn't it from Master Dusker?

"Yeah. Dusker will be busy with a lot of things right now. I'm sure we'll have to talk from Dusker eventually, but the place is the only place."

"... are you hiding something?

He was Ray questioning Marina whining in some meaningful way, but all he came back to do was laugh glossy, as usual.

"You'll see, you don't have to worry about it now. It's time to eat."

With some unintelligible thoughts, Ray couldn't beat the smell of stimulating his drifting appetite and sat in a chair.
