Legend

Finish your lunch break and start your afternoon work.

It should be noted that whoever undertook the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, the escorts to fight the monsters coming with the smell of blood, did not make it possible for everyone to take a break at the same time, and they were to eat in turn.

Ray and Seto, Vihera and Büne ate the dishes that were in the mistering... and even the face that was working on the demolition were to hand out a cup of warm freshly made vegetable soup.

The snow has not fallen, but the temperature is only for work near freezing point, naturally those who received soup rejoiced.

Thanks to that, if you think Giganto Turtle's demolition work is also going smoother than it was in the morning, the area is probably about the necessary expenses and such.

"So? What's Ray going to do now? Want to see how things go here a little bit more? Or go back to the gilm? He said he'd look for you a little bit on the Cobolt thing."

"Right. It's time to go back. Once Kobolt raids, we'll go to the construction site and see if there's any clue."

"Hmmm... but we're not sure we can find a clue, are we? In the first place, so many people have moved around looking for reasons for the Kobolt raid, but they haven't found it in the end."

Ray also knew what Vihera was trying to say, but only this time he had a wife named Seto.

of people, including Ray... there was ample possibility that if it were Ceto, he might be able to find something that even beastmen and elves with a sharper sense than that could not find.

If you follow Ray's gaze like that, there is a figure of Seto playing with Büne because there are no more fighting monsters there, and that's all Vihera understands Ray is relying on Seto to look into one of the Cobolts cases.

I see, Seto.

"... well understood"

"Follow Ray's gaze and you'll find out who he is."

If you say so… and remind me of my actions, I somehow feel some lighting and open my mouth to delude it.

"Anyway, I'm headed to a place where I'm doing some extra work with Seto... what about Vihera? You want to come with me?

Asked, Vihera thinks a little before shaking her neck sideways.

"I'll stop it. In the end, Kobolt will be the only monster to fight."

For Vihella, I guess it means that if you're a strong monster, you want to fight from yourself, but if you're a monster about Kobolt, you don't even have to fight.

If this is to ensure that there are superior or rare species, then I guess there will be some interest as well... since the beginning of the Kobolt raid, there has never been more interest in Vihela than not finding a monster of that kind there.

"Besides, it sounds like Bühne's pretty excited to take down Kobolt here"

"Oh, I see"

Perhaps that reason is stronger.

Even for Ray, I'm not going to force him to take Vihera, beyond the fact that this one case is only part of his hobby or the thought of being half-way there.

Now, actually, if there was any conclusive evidence or confirmation, I guess it would have been different.

"Hey, you got a minute!

At the end of his conversation with Vihera, Ray is a guild official a little further away...... he speaks out to those in the position of compiler of the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.

He's the one I've been talking to Ray about more than once, so he didn't look particularly nervous over there or about Ray's call, and he approached me.

"What's wrong with you? Can I help you?

"Oh. It's time for me to get out of here, but why don't you come back here in the evening or so?

The demolition of Giganto Turtle naturally didn't end just today, so I needed to keep it inside the mysteries at night.

If this is a smaller monster, that's what you keep in warehouses all over the city, but I guess it's winter now, so there's no problem... if it's a monster this big, there's no reason to dismantle it all over the city.

"Right. Make sure you do. However, it would be helpful if you could come a little early. It's my first day and many people aren't used to it, so I need to get it over with soon."

"Okay. Then I'll be back a little early."

"Thank you. So... by the way, where is Mr. Ray going?

"Just a little where we're working on the additions."

With that word, I guess the guild officials also figured out what Ray was trying to do.

Smile, open your mouth.

"Magic item, I hope you find it"

That, no doubt, would be the true meaning of the guild staff.

Though I wasn't certain that one of the Cobolt cases was due to a magic item, and I was expecting it to probably be different for guild officials.

Still, maybe... really maybe, but there's a chance that some kind of magic item could cause it.

Not to mention that Ray uses Seto's powers to look into the Cobolt case, so there was a good chance he could find some clue.

If this were normal, that's the kind of adventurer you'd be around, the guild staff wouldn't have expected that much either.

But Ray is in front of the guild staff.

That is what has accomplished so many incredible events before.

One of those things Ray has done is Giganto Turtle, which is currently undergoing a massive demolition.

Being able to defeat such a giant monster is in the Guild… No, not so much if you look at the Kingdom of Mireana and its surrounding countries, and this whole world called Elgin.

It's Ray who accomplished that, so maybe... maybe really, but he can find some clue about the Cobolt thing.

Even if the Alliance officials thought so, that was natural in a way.

Ray, who doesn't think he's expected that much, nods back to the guild official and then calls Seto.

"Seto! We're going back to the Gilm!

"Gru!"

To Ray's call, okay! And when I squeal, I come close to Ray's side.

Some of the people who were doing the dismantling of Giganto Turtle were blinded by how Seto looked like that.

That's as if you want to love Seto.

If this is anywhere but the Guild, I guess more people will learn to fear Seto's presence... but this is the Guild.

Although some of the demolitions were carried out as if they had come for work on the additional works rather than the residents of Guild, not all of them had a dear affection for Seto.

Ray and Seto followed the scene to the Guild, even though they were so diverse in their gaze.

"Hey, that way! He's gone that way!

"Whoa, I know. Damn, for what it's almost instinct alone, it makes strange moves sometimes!

A spear sticking out sharply with the word pierces the neck of the cobolt.

For a moment that adventurer gave a bitter look, probably because he was supposed to have targeted the torso, but actually hit it in the neck.

Until autumn, I could definitely pierce my torso.

Sometimes it was meant to aim and pierce my neck because the cobolt that fell on the ground was somewhat stronger and quicker than the other cobolts... because my body is dull during the winter life, because it would be huge.

He had a bitter look because he knew it too.

But I can't afford to be thinking about that right now.

There are a good number of other cobolts breaking in here.

As usual, we could have fought a little easier, but today because of the low number of Kobolts, a good number cut off the Kobolt crusade and turned to dismantling Giganto Turtle.

Thanks to this, we are able to match Kobolt with the adventurer, but that also means that the battle on this occasion is as usual.

"Uh... should I have gone for the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, too?

Another adventurer who was nearby tells him so, looking at other adventurers fighting Kobolt around him.

In fact, given our current situation, we find it cumbersome to deal with Kobolt in the long run.

Most importantly, there is no point in complaining that funding over the winter has been considerably reduced as of now, and that Kobolt's crusade is the best in the sense that we can make money.

But... just in time, if Ray on Ceto arrives on the spot, the story will be different.

"Really? It would be very helpful for me if you came to dismantle it. The more people you have, the better. Most importantly, given the size of Giganto Turtle, I don't think this winter will be the end of the demolition."

'Huh?'

The voices that sounded abruptly, those who had not fought with Kobolt and were within the reach of their voices, all raise their voices.

No way, I was wondering why there's this person in a place like this.

... Even those who have never seen Ray's face in person can easily understand who it is if you look at the adventurer with Griffon.... I can do it.

"Deep Red Ray!? Hey, why are such celebrities here! About Kobolt...... I don't know, it's the only place out of Kobolt, right here!

Earlier, an adventurer who had spoken out that he should go to the dismantling of Giganto Turtle screamed like he was in a panic.

Because the adventurer's questions were similar to those of the other adventurers, many nodded again and again to agree with the adventurer's words.

While watching those adventurers, Ray explains why he came here in such a way that he didn't care.

"In extension, it is clearly odd that there will be a Kobolt raid regardless of morning, noon and evening. I mean, I thought there was some reason. So, I finally decided to look for a reason."

In fact, I tried to come here with the anticipation that there might be a magic item for it, but I don't talk that far.

With that said, because I had the anticipation that maybe everyone on this scene would be interested in looking for that magic item.

Even as Ray, he doesn't necessarily think there's a magic item here, but it's also true that there's a half free side to it.

Beyond that, I say that there is a magic item in the detour and concentrate my consciousness there… As a result, the aftertaste is bad if things like injury or death happen.

"For that reason, me and Seto will look for a reason for Kobolt to gather here, but never mind you guys, keep Kobolt down. I won't stand in your way."

Watch the adventurer fight Kobolt as he strokes Seto, whether he notices the Rays or not.

Seto says... Griffon is here, but there's no way to escape the scene, and he's fighting the adventurer, Cobolt.

(Is it the same Cobolt who came to Giganto Turtle's place?... the other one, because the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood was drifting so thick, I thought maybe my consciousness was focused that way and I just hadn't noticed Seto's presence)

In fact, besides Cobolt, several monsters came attracted to the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood, beginning with the oak, but many did not notice Seto's presence.

... Precisely, among the monsters who came attracted by the smell of blood, those who were able to notice the presence of Seto did not immediately escape and reach the point of dismantling.

But there's nothing particularly attracting monsters around here.

If I were to dare raise it, it was possible that the smell of blood was shifting to Ray and Seto, who were watching Giganto Turtle dismantle, but Cobolt at the end of his gaze had not shown himself coming toward those with Rays, especially attracted by the smell of blood.

Thinking about it, does Cobolt still not notice the presence of Seto at all, or can it not even notice it?

(In the case of superior or rare species, there is no such thing as not noticing the presence of ceto…. When that happens, the only thing I can think of is... you're more likely to have a magic item)

Maybe, maybe not?

Ray thought that way, but Seto rattles his throat and rubs his face against Ray.

While stroking Seto's head, Ray thought about how to find the magic items that might be in this place.
