When Ray and Seto were finishing their breakfast - a snack after breakfast, precisely because they are eating at the wheat pavilion at dusk - and the air outside, which was dim, was finally becoming completely bright, the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, was progressing considerably.

Nevertheless, I started by peeling the skin to remove the flesh from my feet, and I was on my way.

Giganto Turtle skins are the only high-ranking monster skins that are naturally rare materials.

I haven't done anything about it yet, so I didn't know exactly what kind of material it was.

"Oh, my goodness... that's amazing."

I guess it's because it's been quite a while. Vihera and Buune, who finished breakfast at the wheat pavilion at dusk, come to see Giganto Turtle dismantle and leak their voices like that.

Even if Vihella sees it, the size of Giganto Turtle must be astounding.... Still, it's much smaller than its original size due to the lack of head.

"Mmm."

Next to such a vihella, Büne also sees it in the Giganto Turtle giant in front of him, whilst whining just one small word again, as usual.

"If anything, do you want to experience a little demolition work? That could be pretty funny, huh?

"I won't let that happen.... I hate to get dirty."

In response to Ray's suggestion, at the end of Vihera's gaze, who instantly shook her neck sideways, is the appearance of those who are skin off their feet while staining their anti-cold robes with Giganto Turtle's blood and body fluids.

It was natural to get dirty because it peels, but Vihera didn't really want to get into it. Above all...

"I'd rather say one way or another. … No, I think we should stop."

An adventurer fighting monsters who come attracted by the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood.

But the monsters the adventurers are fighting for are obviously a lot of cobolts.

... Yes, it's supposed to be a cobolt attacking the guilds.

(Is that it? Maybe Giganto Turtle's smell of blood is attracting a cobolt that should have attacked Gilm around this way?

It was Ray with such doubts, but it was a natural story to think about.

Cobolt has a sharp sense of smell, as you can see from the way he originally had that dog-like face.

If such a cobolt smells of Giganto Turtle's blood, it would be natural in a way to come here.

Most of all, it wasn't necessarily coming with the smell of blood more than I could tell for what reason Kobolt was raiding Gilm like day after day...

(More than Cobolt is actually here, this is why I missed my expectations. I suppose it was originally impossible to fully anticipate the monster's actions)

I don't like it when Vihera looks at Kobolt...... no, I guess she has a troublesome look because Kobolt is still not funny with her opponent.

It was a Vihera who preferred to fight, but it preferred to fight opponents who could work with him, not like he preferred to ravage him unilaterally.

Vihera would not have hesitated either if such a battle were necessary, but I do not intend to proceed from myself to such a battle.

"Well, it doesn't even look like we need to get our hands on it."

Originally, monsters gathered attracted by the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood were likely to be powerful monsters, also influenced by the fact that it is now winter.

Beyond that, it was the suitably skilled ones who were hired as escorts for those undergoing demolition.

For such people, it is not difficult to deal with the degree of Kobolt.

Now at the end of Ray's gaze, there was a battle that deserved to be called ravaging.

But Ray, who watched the battle, wonders.

Cobolt has the habit of taking care of his people, unlike goblins.

Even so, he doesn't show any bare hands to help or shelter his buddies if they get hurt, and on the contrary, he doesn't seem to care at all if his buddies get killed.

"Those cobolts... that's weird. No, well, at the point where this is all we're raiding Gilm day after day, it's odd. I don't know why there are so many individuals."

"That you don't care about your people? That's been said since Kobolt started raiding Gilm, but you don't know exactly why it's happening after all."

To Ray's words, Vihera immediately returns so.

I guess I can understand what Ray wondered without saying it to the end, because I still have a pretty long relationship with Ray.

By the way, at the end of Ray's gaze like that, at some point, Büne is fighting Kobolt with a white cloud with a pure white blade in his hand.

"Uh... okay, that?

"Well, that's okay, isn't it? It's not like you should fight Kobolt unless you take a request."

I didn't get a crusade request, so even if Büne defeats Kobolt, I won't get paid for it.

However, the Demon Stone and Crusade Proof sites can be bought out by the Alliance, so it's not entirely useless.

I guess Beaune knows that too, so knocking down Kobolt is cutting off the right ear of the Demon Stone and Crusade Proof site quickly.

"In Bühne's case, you might want to move your body."

"The body? You didn't do combat training or anything?

Hearing the words out of Vihera's mouth, Ray asks unexpectedly.

In fact, given Vihera's character, I didn't think she had a choice not to train in combat.

To Ray's words like that, Vihera smiles and shakes her neck to the side.

"No way. I'm doing battle training to a minimum that doesn't blunt my body. Fortunately, the backyard of the wheat pavilion at dusk is quite large."

I know that, too, Ray.

It's a place right near the stables, so I used to imitate things like playing with Seto there.

"But to the extent that you don't blunt your body?

"Yeah, that's right. The challenge for Beaune this winter is to maintain his current combat skills and improve his skills as a bandit such as unlocking. That's why you unlocked Ray's room, too, right?

"Uh... I see"

To the words of Vihera, I remember when Ray returned from Anesis and entered the room of the wheat pavilion at dusk that I owe him.

If normal, unlocking someone else's room and entering the room on your own is definitely not acceptable.

But if that's becoming a party member, the story will be slightly different.

Not to mention, in Ray's case, it's not like he keeps his personal belongings in the room he's renting, it's just the room he uses purely as a place to sleep. There was nothing particularly angry about being imitated like unlocking your own keys and going inside.

"It's kind of like they were asking me that..."

In fact, now Beaune is very highly combative if you think of him as a bandit.

Given that age, that's incredible.

But it is also a fact that Bühne is more than just a bandit, it is a skill as a bandit that should prevail.

There are some bandits in the world who value combat power...... to be honest, in the wings of the Red Lotus to which Büne belongs, Ray, Vihella, Marina and everyone but Büne had an extremely high level of strength in the sense of combat power.

In the meantime, no matter how much more combat Beaune gains, that doesn't make sense...... but it will be ineffective.

More than that, I was sure it would still be more effective to improve my skills as a purely bandit.

"Wouldn't it be more helpful if Bühne improved his skills as a bandit?

"I won't deny that"

For once, Ray has a sharper sense of five than a regular person, and he can feel signs.

In Seto, all of the sensations in his hand are so sharp that it surpasses Ray.

Beyond that, the presence of bandits is not that important in the sense of finding the presence of enemies.

But... given the traps, the unlocking of the keys, and all the other special abilities of being a bandit, it's still better to be a bandit.

Of course, there is no means of letting bandits working solo into a party on an ad hoc basis if they have to, but trust is still different between those who joined the party on an ad hoc basis and those they work with for a long time.

"Isn't it? Besides, Bühne himself asked me to do it that way."

"... right"

I guess I was silent for a moment because I was now even more stunned by the awesomeness of Vihella, who can confirm what Bühne is trying to say, which I always only say 'n'.

In the labyrinth city of Exil, where Ray first met Bühne, Bühne also spoke quite a bit after finally resolving the disturbance.

But when I came to Gilm with Vihera, I was only saying 'n' again.

It's not like I can't speak a word, I know when I was in Eggzil... but I could only realise in the way that the existence of Bühne, who still only says' hmm ', was something like that, Ray could.

It was such a Bühne, but for some reason... only Bühne really knows why and what Bühne is trying to say.

Thus, by putting Vihela in between in a half-interpreter fashion, Ray and the others can understand the details of what Bühne wants to say.

Most importantly, Ray and the others have known each other for a long time, so I can feel something somewhat nuanced even with a word of "Mmm."

Even during such conversations, Büne uses the white clouds to defeat Kobolt one after the other.

Ray was watching that battle he deserved to call half-ravaged, but look at Fufu Seto and understand the earlier question.

(Oh, that's odd to say that Cobolt is attacking even though we have Seto. Plus, other monsters.... That's all, does Giganto Turtle's blood smell attract monsters?... Well, it's not weird)

Giganto Turtle emerged, and the Trent Forest was a mysterious place in many ways.

Given that, even if Giganto Turtle, who emerged from that Trent forest, was different from a normal monster, that was not surprising, and should have been convinced naturally by Ning Luo.

For a moment, does Giganto Turtle also have something to do with Kobolt raiding Gilm day after day? I didn't think so, but if you think about it, the Gilm raid was taking place before the Rays returned to the Gilm from Anesis.

For instance, it was clear that one case of Cobolt had nothing to do with Giganto Turtle.

… The possibility that something like synergy has happened cannot be denied.

"Mr. Ray!

It was Ray who was thinking about Giganto Turtle and one thing about Cobolt, but there was a voice calling Ray's name like that.

Turning his gaze to those who spoke, it was the guild staff who were there.

He was talking to Ray about the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.

It was impossible to see that guild official approaching himself with a serious... or serious look on his face and not have a bad feeling about it.

"What happened? As far as that look goes, I understand you've had a rough time."

"Yes. Actually, I heard from the guild earlier. Today, the number of cobolts that showed up at the place where they were working on the additions is considerably lower."

"... I see"

Nodding at the words of guild officials, Ray turns his gaze to the adventurers fighting Kobolt around Giganto Turtle.

Naturally there would be fewer Cobolts to raid the Guild than there are here.

"You're coming around this way for less over there"

"Yes. So with all the extra manpower over there, I'm getting suggestions on how to turn the spare number of people over here and let them dismantle or cobolt their opponents... what do you think?

"I don't care what they say. As far as I'm concerned, I'm in favor of more manpower to dismantle, so if you're in the guild and you don't have a problem, don't you mind?

If it were Ray paying off with this, he would have had to think about all the hassles.

But Ray doesn't have to pay for this dismantling of Giganto Turtle.

If you are more of an guild and have no problems than that, then there is no problem at all as Ray...... that was not a mistake to say you would be very welcome.

The Alliance officials laughed happily when they heard Ray say something like that.
