"... there were few magic items for the treasure."
On the deck of the ship, Ray speaks that way to the man in front of him... to the heads of the Pirates.
It's the back of the man's head and back that comes into Ray's eyes, probably because the man is turning his back on Ray.
However, we are not moving forward without doing anything, as is natural.
Ray's hand is gripped with a death size, and that blade is poked under the man's jaw from behind, which is the state where the man's neck is definitely cut off lightly if Ray moves his hand at all.
In such a state, a man would not naturally live in comfort because he would be spoken of dissatisfaction by Ray behind him.
In fact, the man trembles on his knees, a situation in which his face manages to flourish in fear while being drawn.
If a man were to do something that would move his body a lot for some reason, I was so sure that was the only way his neck would fly lightly.
... before boarding the ship, it would be natural to think so if you saw that Ray had turned a rock lighter and truer than a person in a death-size that had enchanted as a demonstration.
The man had no choice but to expect his men to operate the ship so that the ship would not shake, than he did not think his neck was harder than a rock.
"In the end, is the best harvest of this one a magic item that produces that smokescreen"
Ray's dissatisfaction is due to the fact that, in the end, few magic items were available.
If this were an ordinary pirate, I wouldn't have expected that much.
But in the case of this pirate, the man Ray was poking Death Size at tried to use a magic item.
I mean, I may not even... on a daily basis, but still use magic items somewhat frequently.
Because of that expectation, I searched around for where the pirates had hidden the treasure, but what was there was normal treasure… there were a lot of silver coins, a lot of gold coins, and white gold coins were there. Most of the jewelry later.
There was something slightly unusual to call a treasure sword, but it's not like a demon sword, it's just an ornamental long sword with gems scattered across sheaths and patterns.
It may be quite valuable as a work of art, but it is not very much, but it is not practical and usable.
And magic items, too, were not the kind of magic items Ray wanted, like magic items for lights and winds - the winds to the extent that they scattered the most odors - etc.
That's why Ray couldn't get the magic items he thought he would, and he was dissatisfied.
(Maybe you're hiding the magic items you can use elsewhere, right?
I didn't even think about it, but if you think about the interaction between men and pirates, do you protect magic items until you put yourself and your men's lives at risk? Considering that, that was probably an unthinkable choice.
If this is normal...... and that is the very selfish bandit, it was not possible, but the man now in front of Ray is a pirate of subordinate thoughts.
Beyond that, I didn't really think I would do such an imitation in this situation.
Since we are certain that we will fall into slavery, such a dangerous imitation that puts the lives of ourselves and our men at risk is only a bad idea.
... Of course, there's no chance that you're actually playing well and cheating on Ray... but it still doesn't seem like it from what Ray saw in his eyes.
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
When I hear such a voice, Seto approaches the boat as he squeals.
However, Seto is not the only one approaching. On its forefoot, a single figure was grasped.
When he comes near the deck, he releases his hand from Seto's foot and lands on the deck.
The sight of the pirates on the deck was gathered irrevocably by the person who thus appeared.
That's no exception for a man who's got a death-size blade poked at him by Ray.
The woman who appeared on the deck gave that strong impression to her surroundings.
"Ray, didn't you go shopping for fishing gear and fish? All of a sudden Seto's picking you up, so I thought something was up.
Even though she complains with her mouth, she laughs that she's doing something funny with her eyes.
"Is Vihera here? What about the others?
"Bistol and Beaune keep fishing, but Elaine and Marina are here with us.... I didn't have a seto cage, so I grabbed it on Seto's feet like I did."
"Oh, bad. I should have let you have a seto cage."
If it weren't for Ray, I wouldn't be able to use Seto's cage.
It's usually stored in mysteries, so I'm pretty sure Ray won't be able to use it unless he gets it out of there.
Either way, I let Seto leave with a letter on the island, so if I let him have a seto cage at that time, Elaine and the others would have been able to come without any problems.
"Right. You should apologize later.... So? Is that the one in front of Ray?
"Oh. That's the guy who was leading this pirate"
"Hmmm.... for Ray, you're dealing with a lot of lukewarmness"
To the words, the pirates, who were in love with Vihera, a stranger to whores and dancers, accidentally said, 'Where is it!' and scream inside.
But if you actually think of what Ray has done to bandits, you can say that the response is very gentle.
If these pirates were brutally outrageous... and that's what Ray killed all of them in Subrusta, similar to the bandits called Unsullied Pure White, then that's not a long imitation of selling them off as slaves, and they would all have been killed by Ray's hands.
... Most importantly, because these pirates didn't see Ray act like that, all the pirates broke into the words of Vihera.
"So? If you already caught us, why did you call us? Maybe there's someone you haven't caught on the pirate yet?
"No, I'm not. Of course, there are pirates who haven't been caught yet."
In the end, Ray never caught all the pirates on that island.
Precisely, if you wanted to catch him, you'd have been caught.
But I wondered if I would bother to go that far, and I ended up leaving it on the island as it was.
It is harder to swim and travel than it is to be unparalleled by ships and a sea surrounded by monsters.
We decided that if we lived on that island alone, there would be no problem for now.
The pirates caught by Ray also fell into slavery as they did... deciding that they should stay and live on the island, given that they would be executed at their worst, and nothing more.
(Well, there's a chance I'll build my own ship and get off the island... but if it's about a raft, that's what monsters would kill me as soon as they hit me)
With that in mind, Ray turns his gaze to the pirates doing all sorts of work on the deck.
Ray also understands as much as the pirates are after, but it would have been a pain in the ass to bother with the hassle, more than just not having so much trouble with the money... I guess to be honest.
"Then why?
"Even if we keep this pirate in that fishing village, we need the strength of time, don't we? I need to go to a nearby city and bring the people in charge and get these guys."
In the words of Ray, who tells him so, Vihera glances at the pirates.
Some of the pirates who were gazed at by Vihera for what they had mistaken also waved happily.
In fact, I'm just seeing if Vihella has someone to fight and enjoy when the pirates break out.
There's someone who's got it all wrong.
With pity for Vihera's actions and even for some reason for the pirates, Ray takes his gaze off those pirates and points his gaze at the man he is poking a death-size blade at.
Even in the midst of previous exchanges, the man did not move flashly and his neck was firmly stuck to his torso.
Sometimes the boat shakes with waves, but the area is adjusted by Ray to keep the distance from whether a death-sized blade touches or doesn't touch the man's neck.
... The pirates don't understand that the act that Ray is doing is actually the first one made possible by isolated skills and physical abilities.
Even the man with the Death Size blade poked at him had no idea how high skill it was being done.
I just know that a woman named Vihera... that's what I deserve better in the moonlight than in the sun.
And it would mean that I was less likely to help.
Of course, I didn't really think I could get away from Ray.
But... maybe it's true, but there wasn't a zero chance that we could get out.
But the arrival of Vihela made that less likely.
(Not to mention...)
The man does not move his face, he moves only his eyes and looks beside the ship.
There, Griffon's ceto was flying slowly, winged.
(Can you even fly so slowly?... Totally, why is there such a country of adventurers who are subjugating Griffon)
Yes, it's impossible that an adventurer with an alias would come to such a country if it were normal.
In fact, the men decided to use that deserted island as their base for that purpose.
But... as a result, it was Ray who came.
For a man, nothing more than to say the worst.
"What's up? Looks like you're looking at Seto, but was there something you were wondering about?
"No, it's nothing. I just didn't think I'd be able to see Griffon this close. I'm just a little surprised."
"... Well, I guess so"
It didn't even seem to Ray that all the men's words were true.
But still, Ray also understands from previous experience that it's not uncommon to be blinded by looking at Seto.
And even if a man tried to do something in the present situation, Ray could make the decision that it would end pointlessly.
I decided that I wouldn't have to pursue a man in this setting right now than I am...
"Ray, I can see you."
To the words of Vihera, Ray turned his gaze to land.
There, as Vihera said, the village had already seen it right around the corner.
And near the sea you can see the figure of many villagers.
The sudden approaching of the ship may be bringing together villagers who wondered if it was another pirate raid.
Ray, who thought that way, turns his gaze to Seto again.
"Seto, tell Elaine and the others that this one's clean up with no problems.... Well, you don't have to tell me, if Seto goes from ship to ship, he'll know it's natural."
"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr!
To Ray's words, Seto growls and flies toward the village.
Watching how Ceto looks like that, Ray next opens his mouth to the man he's poking his death size at.
"Well, I'm going to ask you guys to go to that village... it's okay to travel in a boat, right?
A boat is also available to move around the shallow waters.
I'm not worried because Ray has already confirmed that, either.
What worries me is that the pirates with their hands and legs tied together can move that boat safely and get to the village without overturning it......
If they are normal, they are still, because many pirates today have their hands and feet tied.
But the man even smiles proudly and opens his mouth to such Ray's words.
"There's no problem around there. We're good sailors."
"... right"
If you're so confident in your arms, that's why you shouldn't have pirated and done business or fishing or anything.
Though I think so, Ray, in a situation where I've already been caught, it wouldn't make sense to say anything.
(At least if I hadn't imitated threatening that village, I'd still have managed)
I pitied Ray for the untimely timing as he looked at the man, but it's true that if the pirates hadn't made contact with that village in the first place, there would have been nothing like Ray doing a pirate crusade.
Beyond that, the pirates were really unlucky... and all I can think about is that.
"In the meantime, I know you can make it to that village safely. Later, after you go to that village.... I hope you meet a good slaver."
In the words of Ray, the man gave a look as if he had chewed up a bitter worm.
