Legend

The man Ray tells me is an intruder tilts his neck in a way that doesn't make sense at first.

For being slapped and woken up, I guess I haven't fully woken up yet.

Look closely at Ray again...... eventually he finally understands what situation he is in and opens and closes his mouth again and again.

"Shit...... and intruder!? Why are the intruders in here?

"Whatever you say. In my case, it just came in normally?

That's what I'd tell you, Ray, but you wouldn't say you came in very normally because you actually knocked down the gatekeepers who were guarding the gates and came this far.

"Heh, normally..."

"Yes, that's it"

He was still a man trying to say something, but that Ray stops.

I didn't do anything.

You just said that's it... the researcher guy can't say anything more.

If a man hadn't been a researcher and gone through a lot of rough stuff like an adventurer, he would have understood that it was killing to be released from Ray now.

But hate and men belong to a dark organization called Jaya, but in the end, they're only researchers.

That's why I have no idea what Ray did, and then I can't talk any more.

"We're intruders. I mean, I want information here. You know that, right?

Ray's power to ask that is as if he were also a giant in front of him... no, his presence was overwhelmingly higher than that of a giant the man knew.

In terms of pure size, Ray is overwhelmingly smaller than a giant.

Either way, you understood that defying the person in front of you was the worst act, and the man nods again and again without saying anything more.

Ray, who sees it, nods satisfactorily and opens his teat.

"Well, the first thing I want to ask you is, there are giants in this underground facility, right?

Questions that are a major prerequisite.

If they told us it wasn't this, they would have decided they weren't cooperative opponents.

But the researcher and the man nod back at Ray's words.

"Ah, oh. Of course I do. I just don't know exactly how it's made yet."

"... I hear it's the effect of that slave collar?

"Of course it is. But I don't know exactly how a giant can be born."

"What? It's a magic item you guys developed, isn't it? Or is it a magic item made by chance?

If the Rays were the man they brought in as a guide, it wouldn't be strange if they weren't familiar with the magic items than they were in the end the man who was actually entrusted with the role of moving the body.

But the man in front of Ray right now obviously just looks like a researcher, or alchemist, depending on what's going on in the room.

(Maybe I was wrong?

It doesn't necessarily mean he's a real researcher or alchemist because he looks that way.

Perhaps there is a slight possibility that he is a completely irrelevant person.

"For once I ask, are you a researcher or an alchemist belonging to Jaya...... so you're pretty sure?

"Oh, of course"

The man comes to an immediate affirmation of Ray's words.

Maybe he fell asleep tired while he was left to clean up this room? and for a moment...... it was just a moment Ray who thought so, but the idea was immediately denied from the man's mouth.

"... then again, I ask, how come I don't know why that slave collar effect would give birth to a giant?

"The collar of the slave and the big black crystal are not what we made, but what we got."

A man who answers lightly without looking particularly hard to say.

I realize that there is information in that word that Ray and the others don't know, and I put it in my mouth.

"Black crystal?

"Oh. That's what you call a slave collar, but that's not exactly a slave collar, though it has the same effect."

Out of a man's mouth was a completely unexpected word.

But at the same time it was an unexpected and convincing word.

In the first place, the collar of slaves used in Mejougo was strange.

A collar of ordinary slaves can be made to act against the will of those who are putting it on, but cannot be imitated in such a way as to change the will itself.

But the collar of slaves used in Mejougo changes the will of the wearer itself.

That's what even women of character, who are inherently pure of relationships between men and women, want from themselves and work as prostitutes... and so on.

And Ray's prediction - I'm half certain of myself - that the collar of that slave was the condition for giving birth to a giant.

"Is having a giant one of those effects?

"That's right. It just doesn't exactly make a giant out of wearing that slave collar. The black crystal has a magical influence, and a slave collar in this mejougo can conceive and give birth to a giant for the first time."

There is some regrettable color in the tone of the man who tells you so.

"So, what is that black crystal after all? Is that the black crystal as it is?

"No, I don't know the exact name. We don't call them black crystals because of their appearance, but they're not actually crystals."

I imitate forcing a woman into a whore and even giving birth to a giant, but I don't see any guilt in a man.

I'm suddenly in a bad mood for something other than Ray, but the man couldn't feel it.

Ray gets to the point when things are going to taste so bad as they are.

"... you should have kept it from this question. Its black crystal and slave collar. Doesn't that mean you guys made it?

"That's right. I'm just studying black crystals."

"Then who made that black crystal? Or where have you found it from?

If black crystals are like special magic ore that has been excavated from somewhere, you have nothing to worry about that much.

But if someone made a black crystal... it's definitely dangerous in many ways.

Because once you make it, it's possible that you can make the same thing again.

Ray asked with that in mind, but the man replies with the act of shaking his head sideways to the question.

"I don't know. Originally, I was a magical mineral in other countries... and I was studying flame ore and stuff like that. It was brought here to do research on black crystals."

"... they brought you here? Could you have been forced to do research here?

To the man's words, maybe the man in front of you is being brought in the same way as the whores and forced to do research? I thought about it Ray, but again the man in front of me shakes his neck to the side.

"Of course I couldn't help myself when they brought me here. But the only thing I'm still doing here right now is purely making fun of myself. No matter how much research you do, you hardly know anything about that black crystal."

Once the word was cut off there, the man shook his head sideways in a daze that at the next moment was outrageous.

"That black crystal! Why create a place that makes all that impact when it's not about magic items? I'm curious, I'm curious, I can't help it! You really don't look like you've got any special craftsmanship from the looks of it, do you? Yet..."

As it is, a man who speaks one after another of his doubts about black crystals.

From what it looks like, it's not very, but it doesn't look like the man was forced to do research in this underground facility, as he said himself.

It was clear from anyone's eyes that I was in this place wanting from myself.

(While I'm being kidnapped and acting with that kidnapped person, I empathize with the kidnapper and get along... what was it? Stockholm syndrome? No way, is that it?

I thought so from my knowledge when I was in Japan, Ray, but I don't think the person in front of me is in that situation.

Most importantly, Ray didn't even see someone with Stockholm Syndrome with his eyes, he just saw and read stories about Stockholm Syndrome in cartoons, comics, novels, movies, dramas, etc.

That's why, even if the man in front of you is really Stockholm Syndrome, I don't know if that's true.

Most of all, even if it's really Stockholm syndrome, it doesn't change the fact that this guy was working with Jaya, and he's still happily explaining this to Ray about the black crystal.

At that point, it was also understood by Ray that a man was of this character from the beginning, and that he thought it was okay to sacrifice as many people as he wanted for research.

A man may not have the consciousness that he is sacrificing many, but even if he is not sacrificing directly, the fact that a man is collaborating with Jaya in his research naturally results in that.

"Well, I got the story. So you're... our enemy, right?

"No way! That can't be right!? I'm just a researcher. [M] It's none of my business where you guys are. Well, I appreciate what you've done to me. The researchers are getting a lot busy right now. If my hypothesis is correct..."

"Yes, that's it"

A man blocked in the middle of the conversation turns his unhappy gaze at Ray in a way that he still hasn't spoken enough.

But Ray, whose gaze was turned, told the man to shut up and look at Elaine and the others near him.

So what the man saw was Elaine and the others with an unpleasant look on their face.

Because you have a neat face, you know how much frustration is mixed with the gaze that can be directed at a man.

The gaze that should be expressed as absolute zero, and the servant man can't explain his research any better.

"Well, why am I looking at you like that? I don't think I've done anything wrong."

The man, for real, could not understand why he was being turned such a gaze.

However, I suppose you understand that if it stays like this, it will taste a lot worse.

As bewildered, then point your gaze at Ray like you want me to do something about it.

What Ray did when he received that gaze was to calm down Elaine and the others for now.

Most importantly, it was not an act to guide a man, but because if Elaine and the others did harm to a man while he was still emotional, he would not be able to get the information he wanted.

... I stopped because it was difficult for a man to get hurt or talk to me in order to get information, so I guess it's never wrong that he showed up to a man.

"Elaine, Marina, Vihera, keep it around"

That's why Ray tells him to get angry with those three for now.

It's just that what Ray made a mistake at this time was telling the three people who emit intense anger to settle down...... he wouldn't have said anything about the person behind those three. As a result…

"Wow! Ouch! Ouch!

One long needle flies through the air as if to poke a gap Ray is telling them to calm down.

It was Ray who tried to calm down Elaine and the others, but naturally there was vigilance there to prevent the source man from escaping.

But... no, that's why I completely forgot the existence of the last person on this scene, Bühne.

I see a long needle with a man stuck in my arm, screaming.

I don't even know if you're really in pain, or if you're actually in pain, but you're just screaming for pain from the sight in front of you, which Ray doesn't know.

The only thing you can tell is that even if you didn't put it on your face, Beaune was as mad as the other three.

Beaune is also a fine woman, although she is still old enough to call herself a girl.

So, naturally, I had a strong aversion to what was being done in this mejougo.

Until now, Ray didn't realize it, simply because Bühne doesn't express his emotions on his face.

That's why Ray didn't understand how mad Beaune was.

... Or should I say that I still recognize Bühne as a child and didn't care that much?

Either way, only three Rays stopped it: Elaine, Marina and Vihera.

I mean, I found out I wasn't stopped. Büne, fortunately for this, threw his own good weapon at the man... a long needle.

Though I guess I wasn't completely oblivious to my anger around not bringing out the white clouds made from silver lion material.

The man was just lucky he didn't get killed, but he wouldn't be hairy enough to say thank you for that to a man screaming at the pain.
