"Wow... a lot. Well, you brought a ton of them"
That's what I said, Marina, who saw multiple nets Ray had.
In fact, the multiple nets Ray had were packed in bulk with things like abalone, sawdust, oysters - shellfish very similar to each of them to be exact - and unusual shaped shellfish like Ray had never seen either.
Weight it, dozens of kg...... no, it's not strange if it's over a hundred kg.
Ray, who has it fine, is probably, but Seto, who flew in with such a ray on his back, is also probably.
"Even so. There's a lot of reasons."
"Reason? Is that why you brought only shellfish in a net without fish?
"Oh. I can't store it if I'm alive for mystering. I strangled all the fish so I could store them, but I don't know how to strangle the shellfish. So I decided to rely on the spiritual magic of the marina."
"... heh. So much so. I've never tried it... but maybe I can do it without a problem. In the meantime, would you put that shellfish on the ground? Because if Ray keeps it, he doesn't know what's there."
Encouraged by the marina and under the gaze of other faceted curiosities, Ray puts the net on the ground.
The sound of shells crashing into each other, which echoed around them at that time, made it easy to imagine how much weight was in that net.
"I thought Marina could do it, but I'm really glad I could"
Seeing as Ray was relieved, the marina opened her mouth in a frightened manner.
"You know, if I couldn't do anything, what were you going to do?
"In that case, you put it in a state where it can be baked and ready to eat, or filled and ready to use for cooking, and then stored it in mysteries."
That's how you can do it because it's an item box that doesn't matter how time goes if you keep it inside.
Bistol listens to Ray and gives him a slightly envious look.
The bistol has a simple mass-produced velcro pouch in the item box, but this has a limited amount that can be stored, and the flow of time is usually present even if it is put inside.
That's why Bistle dries fish overnight, like every night.
... Most importantly, the fish that is dried overnight naturally smells like fish, and the smell attracts bugs.
It is prevented by a net, but depending on the magnitude of the insect, it can enter through the braid.
Also, no other monsters or animals would come if Ceto were there, but that's only what Ceto would have talked about.
During the day, when Seto is acting with Ray, most animals do not come close because of the smell and signs of Seto, but that is not absolute either.
Animals that do not perceive signs well… or are hungry and can't help but be somewhat dangerous sometimes get lost because there is no ceto.
The result was that some overnight drying would be taken away by animals and birds... even for Bistol, which is frustrating but not damaging damage.
In the first place, Bistle didn't use any travel expenses until he got here, and the ingredients are served by the Rays when it comes to meals, but the cooking is done by Bistle.... The sight of a big, muscular man cooking in small pieces is only uncomfortable at first glance.
Still, Bistol's culinary flavors are even better than the best marinas in the Rays.
I'm not going to do this to delicious food with such discomfort.
And even when it comes to overnight drying at the heart, the tools to catch fish are borrowed from Ray, and the food is sourced locally.
What Bistol is consuming would be about the time to catch fish and the effort to make it dry overnight.
"Ray would still be jealous to manage."
Bistol, who was watching Ray and Marina interact, squeals so.
"Really?
"That's right. I have no idea how blessed I am."
Ray's words make me laugh a little bit.
For Ray, mystering is a substitute he's been using since he came to this world.
However, it is normal to use it.
"In the meantime, you can strangle all the shellfish, right?
That's what Marina says, as she interrupts Ray and Bistol's conversation, and Ray nods at it.
At the same time Ray nods, Marina uses spiritual magic to produce chunks of water.
In this place, where the sea is nearby and even nearer there are hot springs, it would be very easy to use the spiritual magic of water.
All of the nets containing large quantities of shellfish are wrapped in water and float.
"It'll take a while, so Ray can do something else, okay?
"... okay? Then, please. Well, even looking at it like this sounds interesting."
In fact, the water covering the net containing the shellfish has become quite dirty in this short time.
It's awesome because it takes each of the dirt on the shells and the dirt present in the shellfish, which is done at a rate that you can just see.
(Clams...... sissies? Was it a clam? They need to be in the water for about a night to sand out or something, but with the marina, that would be quick)
Ray looks at the shellfish wrapped in water and thinks like that...... waves gently at the marina and walks away from the spot.
When Marina drops off such a ray, she securely removes the dirt from the shellfish wrapped in water.
"Oh, my God, you're so enthusiastic."
Hehe, and Bistol look at the marina with a grin.
Ray asked me to look at the marina somewhere new... yes, it reminded me of my newlywed.
The marina also makes me happy with how such a bistol looks.
It makes a woman's luster feel by the time it was always intense, but now the marina, of course, made a woman's luster feel happy at the same time.
"Right. I'm happy to be an adventurer with Ray, but relaxing and enjoying your vacation like this isn't bad either. In the first place, I've been working a lot from the Trent Forest."
What Marina says is never wrong.
If we solve one of Trento's woods, it will be an addition to the Guild, dealing with aristocratic nobles who want to disrupt it, dealing with criminal organisations who tried to use people's gathered Guild, and heading out to other countries so that they would never let their hands reach out again... there was really a lot going on from there too.
With that in mind, it's not strange to slow down here for a while, and there shouldn't have been anything anyone could blame for that.
Most of all, even if it's too slow this way, it's definitely going to be a big deal for the guilds.
(About ten days later... I wonder. Here's what you can do slowly)
That's how Marina laughed.
"Pfft...... yeah, it's cold fruit water in summer after all"
"Grrrrrrrr"
To Ray's words, Seto rattles his throat as he agrees.
Ray lowering his dragon robe hood or Seto's hair is wet because he just came up from the hot spring.
Because of the hot springs, it would be natural to indulge in that more than based here.
I'm not swimming in the ocean, but it would have been natural for my hair and skin to stick if I had nevertheless gone offshore and imitated it to hit the sea breeze for hours.
And as a cup of bath, it's not surprising that cold fruit water feels so good that there's no more.
"Guru? Guru"
Give me another drink, please. Seto rattles his throat toward Ray.
For such a Ceto favor, Ray has no choice but to put fruit water in the vessel in front of Ceto.
(You might want to save the fruit you can pick in the spring, summer, and fall, freeze it in the snow in the winter, and then put it in the misting.... No, that's what would seem to do lightly with spiritual magic if you asked Marina)
If you use the Spirit Magic of Water, can you use ice well too?
You may not have noticed Ray's idea, but Seto turns his gaze to Ray once he interrupts his movement to drink fruit water.
"It's nothing. Just like I thought."
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
Really? And Seto, who rang his throat, was convinced by Ray's words, started drinking fruit water again.
Ray gently closes his eyes as he strokes Seto's body.
My hearing is sharper as my vision darkens...... I hear the surrounding sound firmly.
The sound of Elaine and the others talking and working. But that's not what Ray wanted to hear... the sound of the bugs at night.
Sometimes summer is coming to an end, and I feel the bugs are sounding considerably less than they did a while ago, but if the season goes a little further, this time the autumn bugs will start claiming themselves in a lively way.
(Even when I was in Japan, summer and autumn were loud)
Ray lived just on the side of the mountain… in some cases it is sometimes described as inside the mountain.
Naturally, there were only so many bugs, and if it was a summer or fall night, as every night, there would have been something called a bug concert.
... No, nothing was only at night when the Bug concert was going on.
Because the sound of the semi sounded loud during the day.
Somehow I remember when I was in Japan, why?
Ray didn't even know that, but still, the sound of the bugs kept Ray's ears fully entertained.
Sometimes when you're enjoying the sound of bugs like that, you're naturally closing your eyes, and you're attacked by a sleeper.
I guess it also affects the fact that Seto is nearby who can react quickly no matter what.
Eventually, the hand he was stroking Ceto stopped, leaving his weight with Ceto and not resisting the sleeper, and fell asleep.
"Oh, hey. Look at that. Ray, if you"
You seem to be complaining a little bit with your mouth, but it's some gentle light that lives in its eyes.
Those who heard voices follow that gaze and understand the meaning of Bistol's words to such a Bistol's appearance.
I'm taking off my dragon robe hood, so given my usual personality, it's not very good, but it doesn't look good... there was Ray sleeping with the look he deserved to describe it as unusual.
An incredible look, given Ray's usual personality.
It seemed to those who watched it, even as the originally feminine face was more accentuated.
Especially in the sense of maternal instinct, it's a bistol with one of the finest things in the world.
Shouldn't we check on Ray and hang something so he doesn't catch a cold for once? I think.
It's actually warm enough yet, even though summer is almost over.
Not to mention that dragon robes have features like simple air conditioning, sometimes leaning against ceto, and you wouldn't have to worry about catching a cold.
... In the first place, it was Zeppyre who made Ray's body, so if he imitated sleeping naked in the extreme cold, etc., it doesn't affect him in any way where he slept in these temperatures.
"Stop it. If you can't get close, you're gonna wake Ray."
That's what Elaine tells Bistol, who tried to approach Ray with a blanket in his hand.
Why? and Elaine opens her mouth with a slightly better grin on her neck tilting bistro.
"If someone gets close to where you sleep, Ray will wake up.... if it were us, we wouldn't wake up."
That means Ray is unconsciously exploring the surrounding signs even while he's asleep.
And Elaine had a good grin, probably because she showed that Ray was unconsciously but completely forgiving of herself... and of Marina and Vihera.
"Oh, I envy you."
With his mouth he says things like jealousy, while Bistol smiles that make him feel motherly.
Though it would have taken a corresponding familiarity to read maternity from it, just on the strong face.
However, Elaine and the others, who were acting together with Bistol for a few days, were able to read it well enough.
"Right. But I'm not giving it to you."
Bistol opens his mouth to the marina, who laughs and says it like a prank, looking sorry for this.
"Too bad. If you're a good man like Ray, you can dedicate everything without complaining."
"Unfortunately, Ray and I are on time. Bistol, find someone else."
The story spreads from such marina language, after which there will be a conversation that should also be called Girls Talk for a while.
… Some people were a little difficult to call Girls.
