Ray tilts his neck to the sight that is spreading in front of him.
Nearly a hundred, pregnant whores.
But to that anomaly that there is not just one person awake.
"Yeah?... wait a minute. For being pregnant, you don't have a small stomach?
That's what I said, the marina.
Dark Elves are a very child-prone species, but in the case of marinas it is quite a long time after leaving their homeland.
So it wasn't once or twice that I saw a pregnant woman.
Most of them were married and happy couples.
Compared to such a marina, Elaine was busy with her own training, Vihera sought to fight a strong opponent, and Büne was the best because she would live, so she had never seen her pregnant opponent.
No, I've seen it before, to be exact, but I guess it's more right that they're too busy about themselves to remember.
That's why I didn't know what Marina was talking about.
"Huh? What's weird? You're gonna have a big stomach when you're pregnant, aren't you?
"That's right. But as far as I can tell, every hooker is no different than a normal pregnant woman. You forgot? They must have conceived a giant, right?
"Huh!?
Both Vihera and the other faces I asked...... everyone, including Ray, was poked by Marina's words.
Yes, write about a giant person and give birth to what you should call a giant.
If so, naturally the fetus in the abdomen should have been bigger than normal.
However, the belly of the large number of pregnant women currently in front of us does not seem to be very giant in it.
"What do you mean? Do you think the size of the fetus has anything to do with all the pregnant women sleeping unconscious?
"Even if they say so, you're in trouble. But... if this isn't an anomaly, you can imagine why?
Yes, Marina tells me, and everyone on this scene, including Ray, reminds me of one existence.
Being that caused this giant to arise. That's...
"Black Crystal"
The Rays recall the name of the magic item.
Most importantly, the magic item and the mouth, but Ray doesn't even know if the black crystal is really a magic item.
Because, as the name suggests, it could be just a crystal.
... Still, I was certain I had some special abilities.
"What can I do?
"If they say so, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm unconscious, so I can't take them all."
It is not hard to imagine how much effort it would take just to bring this number outside Mejougo to nearly a hundred pregnant women.
Not to mention that we came here not to help the whores, but to retaliate against Jaya.
If you can help the victimized whores of Jaya, that's fine. But imitations such as forgetting the highest priority should never have been done.
"Besides, is it the giants that are in these people's bellies? If you imitate what you're forced to do here, you're probably going to die before you give birth to a giant."
I guess there's some certainty and I'm not saying that, but it still didn't seem like there was any lie in Elaine's words from Ray.
"Okay. So... it's okay to leave us alone here, right?
"You better do that. And maybe... really maybe, but if the black crystal doesn't affect you anymore, you don't have to give birth to a giant."
"... ok"
To Marina's words, reluctantly, Ray nods and leaves the room intact.
That's how I checked the basement upstairs again, and there were several other huge doors lined up just like they were in my current room.
And considering what I heard from a researcher man on the first basement floor, it was easy for Ray to imagine that this whole basement floor would be a room to keep pregnant whores together.
(You mean there are hookers who are pregnant with giants just for the number of doors?... how dare you take a woman away from the surrounding countries)
With frustration for Jaya, he whines inside.
"Gru."
"Huh?"
Huh, I felt like I heard my partner's... Seto squeal in my ear, Ray looks around in a hurry.
But there's no sign of Seto there.
Naturally. Seto should be fighting Jaya's power to enter this underground facility right now.
Ray didn't even know why he heard Seto squeal here.
But it seemed like Seto was saying to himself to calm down.
"What's the matter, suddenly?
"No, it's nothing"
Shaking her head at the marina, Ray understands that she was more frustrated than she thought.
Breathe in a small sigh and open your mouth again.
"Then go. If we do something about the black crystal, maybe it'll help."
Everyone nods at Ray's words like that and goes straight down the aisle.
Strangely enough, there are no trap-like traps set up in this hierarchy.
Thanks to this, we discover the staircase heading to the third basement floor without any particular activity of Bühne.
"What do you think? There were all those traps on the first basement floor, but it was like there were no traps here..."
"Normally, it would be possible that all the traps we set on the first basement floor were underdeveloped, and the staircase traps that were put together and tried to do something about us were also lightly breached, and we decided that there was no point in setting a trap..."
"You know what Elaine's trying to say, but even if the trap breaks through, it doesn't mean Jaya's harmed, does it? Well, there might be the effort to set a trap, or the cost to use it for that trap."
With that said, I don't really think Marina is sparing any effort or expense to trap herself either.
The truth is, you probably didn't envisage coming this far? That was what Marina expected.
Like the Rays, they are extremely armed, which is why they are here with no harm whatsoever, but there is no such thing as a small country as the Labourina country that would normally be so armed.
That's why you thought you'd be safe in this heavily prepared defensive formation, where you could install several defensive buildings around this underground facility, let the entrance to the underground facility be guarded with sharpness, let the front of the gate be guarded with sharpness inside the sharp, and several traps that existed on the first basement floor......
... I had no idea they would take the method of moving directly from the air to the front of the underground facility, etc.
And it would have been a huge miscalculation for Jaya that even though it was individuals like the Rays who had raided, they were extremely powerful fighters.
(No, Jaya definitely had information that we were in Rossi. If so, I suppose I could have done something about it... simply didn't make it, or the measures haven't shown up yet? Or, surprisingly, the giant is the trump card?
For Jaya, it's impossible not to hit the Rays with it, more than a giant is an overwhelming symbol of the power to the point of overwhelming.
Ray, too, has never fought a giant before, so I don't know exactly how much power it has, as a matter of fact.
I have received some information from the raided resistance, but I don't even know how much that information is correct in the first place.
An ambush carried out all of a sudden in a place where the main force of the resistance gathered.
More than that, it must have been completely unintended for the resistance.
Anyway, if you waited for the other side and fought from the front and lost, the strength of a giant gained in such a situation is difficult to consider as a criterion of power if you try to lay it down.
... Actually, Ray is somewhat wary because of such unknown power.
If this were the kind of thing I've fought before, Ray wouldn't have cared that much either.
"Anyway, let's get down. It's the third basement floor where the giants are born, isn't it? Then you might have a chance to fight the Titans."
It is Vihera who naturally looks forward to fighting the Titans who tells her with a full smile.
I honestly don't know about that... but nobody goes down the stairs without saying anything more than I need to end up going deeper.
For once, just like the stairs earlier, we proceed with vigilance around the perimeter beyond the undeniable possibility of some kind of trap.
But in the end, with no trap whatsoever, just like when you came down to the second basement floor... no, you arrive at the third basement floor down the stairs longer than that.
(Kind of sounds like you're challenging the dungeon. No, well, a dungeon with doors like this... isn't that unusual)
A dungeon where there was an altar of inheritance, headed when Ray first met Elaine.
There, too, was a hierarchy with doors in this way.
"I don't know, don't remember the first time I saw Ray"
As if I had read Ray's thoughts, Elaine shrugs.
"Oh, there was a rumor in the Guild."
I'm a marina who was guild master at the time, so I naturally know when Ray and Elaine first met.
That's it, including Ara's sudden attack on Ray.
"Huh? Really? Was there anything rumoured?
"... that's what we're going to do with the third basement."
Even for Elaine, things must have been complicated at the time.
So did Ara's rampage, but whoever thought he was one of them was actually a traitor, and he imitated killing more of them.
Ray is precisely the one who killed him, but it was more such a perception in Elaine than he took to such a situation.
You felt something from that look on Elaine's face, and the others would not go into that topic any further, but turn their gaze again to the basement third floor.
There are several huge doors similar to the basement upstairs, but the difference would be that they are overwhelmingly loud compared to the basement upstairs.
What you hear is a groan that must be withstanding the pain and a squeal of what seems to be a baby.
Why didn't you say yes to the baby here because the voice you could hear was pretty big.
That's the voice as if an adult man was screaming, not very much, but even if I tried to lay it, I didn't think it was the baby's voice.
"What do you think?
Besides, the other faces nod silently back to Ray's words, who tells him that because he's a giant, he's also loud.
That's such a reply, as if Ray's words were saying extraordinarily correct.
(I guess the smell of blood isn't any stranger than you're giving birth...... somehow, you're subtly afraid to open it)
With that in mind, there is no alternative to not opening the door than it is absolutely necessary to look inside the room.
After receiving other faceted gazes, including Elaine's, and nodding, Ray reaches for the door.
The door opens with the noise of heavy metal… Eventually, a strong blood odor drifts from the gap between the doors that opened only slightly.
Not one or two. More, thicker blood odors.
Ray frowned slightly at that, but it was too unexpected a sight for the Rays to be able to afford the space to get in and come into view from there.
No, at the time I smelled the blood odor earlier, maybe I should have expected it.
"Nah..."
What was spreading inside the room was a child of a giant who had broken the belly of a pregnant woman...... no, had eaten and broken and came out.
Despite just being born, its appearance is as good as Ray's.
It cannot naturally come into being more normal than it is that size.
More than that, it's no strange story to come out with a pregnant woman's belly torn.
However, the situation of eating through the body of the mother who gave birth to herself from within can only be described as an anomaly.
Even though she was just born, the way she eats things like her mother's guts, meat, skin, and bones instead of drinking breast milk was enough to stop the movement, even for Ray, who has had a lot of experience coming to this world and killing people.
"Ko, this is..."
Elaine, who was right behind Ray, will naturally also see the sight Ray sees, stopping the movement by accident.
Similar to Ray...... no, the experience of purely running the battlefield outweighs that, but the sight in front of such Elaine is not believable at all.
"Such...... such an act, is not acceptable!
Such a scream of Elaine echoed around, fantasizing about the golden flames behind it.
