Having checked on the dirt walls, Ray and Seto were going around checking on the adventurers fighting Kobolt.
Because of the expectation that many of the cobolts fighting may be rare or superior species.
Most importantly, if Cobolt were a rare or superior species than the adventurers had already fought, it would not have been possible to imitate it.
Or sometimes the number of adventurers is lower, and I thought maybe... maybe there would be some rare or superior species of cobolts walking around the area appropriately...
"In the end, was it the normal cobolts that were fighting"
"Gru."
To Ray's whining, Seto sounds sorry for his throat.
Ray continues his words as he strokes to encourage such a ceto.
"Perhaps I was lucky enough to step on my buddy's cobolt and cross the dirt wall. Or... don't let them knock you down yesterday, like they found you hiding in building materials."
I didn't know if Kobolt was making out overnight, but it was undeniable as a possibility.
But given that more cobolts are over the dirt walls than Ray expected, there's also no chance.
"When this happens, isn't it bad for those people who were in front of that dirt wall?"
There was a man who expressed dissatisfaction with Ray because of the reduced number of cobolts to be defeated.
For the guy, the situation is never a bad thing right now...... and I guess you can think of it that way.
Most of all, the number of cobolts is definitely lower than when there were no dirt walls.
Thinking that way, trying to get back to the dismantling scene of Giganto Turtle with Seto... Ceto stops inadvertently and looks forward.
Less than a few seconds after Seto stops, Ray also hears yelling from the front...... and most importantly, notices signs of swordswallowing.
(What? At this rate, it's not about fighting Kobolt... maybe fighting between adventurers over Kobolt? No, but the signs...)
For a moment, I also thought it was a fight over a smaller number of cobolts, but obviously there are a lot of them.
No, there were too many.
It was Ray who didn't know what was going on, but if you still feel signs of killer stains drifting ahead of you, there's no reason to just leave it alone.
No, it's basically more self-inflicted than being an adventurer, but still, it can be a matter of many dying before things like self-inflicted if left alone, and imitations like abandoning it have a bad aftertaste.
Above all, it is significant that if something troublesome happens here, there could also be negative effects with regard to the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.
"Let's go, Seto. Let's just get this hassle over with... uh, but if we go back to where we're dismantling Giganto Turtle like this, maybe Vihera's mad. When that happens, should we just kill some more time? Whatever the trouble is, do you want to get it over with?"
"Gru!"
Ringing his throat at at Ray's words, one and one as they go runs on the ground to those who speak...... and to those who emit a noisy atmosphere.
That's how it got into my eyes... a lot more people than I expected.
It was a sight of a group of about ten and thirty people facing each other.
What surprised Ray more than anything was that those ten were the ones who had been in front of the dirt wall earlier.
A group of thirty or so who are opposite it, and those who look evil because they see it.
The next thing Ray's gaze was directed at a group of about thirty people.
All of you are young men in their teens and twenties, and besides, they all have axes in their hands.
To fight Kobolt, it's a weapon that's clearly not for you.
Essentially, Kobolt moves quickly, which is why he's not fit to fight with heavy weapons like axes and sticks.
Except for the story if you have the right strength, but from what Ray saw, there was no doubt that about thirty men were all weak.
(Is it a tactic of war to use the advantages of numbers to hope someone can even give Kobolt a blow? No, but it's a cobolt, right? But even the number is down on the dirt wall, not very much, but knocking it down with that number shouldn't make a lot of money)
While I think about it that way, I speak to the two confronting groups, thinking that maybe they've come to confirm the collaboration.
"It's emitting a lot of noise, but what the hell happened?
At that moment, my gaze is turned from the two groups as I said not to disturb them in a half-reflective way... I find out that it is Ray that both groups have been voicing together, and I get a startling look.
A group of about ten people were surprised to see why Ray was here who should have walked away in front of the dirt wall before them... and a group of about thirty people looked ahead to see what they might do.
"Why are you still here?"
The first person who shouted that back at me was the man who spoke of dissatisfaction against Ray in front of the dirt wall.
Ray opens his mouth to the words of such a man as he strokes the ceto next door.
"Whatever you say. I'm doing a little bit of a construction site, and I was just trying to figure out how many cobolts there are here."
To be precise, I was looking around with the small expectation that there might be rare or superior species of Cobolt, but I wasn't going to bother to say that here.
"So? Sounds like I'm going to repeat the question just now, what are you guys spreading all the noisy vibes around?
"Oh, that's..."
The man I was talking to Ray caged for a moment, but he tried to say something while looking at the guys with axes...
"Ugh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh! It's none of your business! Get out of here!
Before the man I was talking to Ray opened his mouth, one of the guys with the axe screams.
Those who have axes...... they are not wearing that distinctive red cloth right now, those who should also be called ex-red cloths, naturally know who Ray is.
No, on the contrary, there were even those caught by Ray when he was rampaging as a red cloth.... Though Ray was not at all aware that some of the former redcloth men had caught him, as he was not considered a particularly important person, and there were several similar people.
That's why Ray decided that it would be an absolute hassle if we were to find out who we are here.
It leads from haste to frustration, screaming as if we forgot that Ray is in front of someone we can't defeat on our own.
… I suppose the high number of our own people also affects us in this case.
But that attitude of the man distrusted Ray.
If I know about myself, I can understand you wanting me to just be gone because there's no winning shot at rubbing and brawling here.
I can...... when I looked at it this way it obviously seemed like there was something else emotional about it.
"Why do you want me gone so soon?
"That's what it is."
And, Ray's question was answered by the man who expressed dissatisfaction with Ray in front of the dirt wall.
The man doesn't even mind a group of men with axes staring at him with their mouths shut, and goes on with the words.
"Ray doesn't seem to have noticed, but those guys... those are the redcloth guys that were raging in the gilm before it snowed"
"... what?
Pickle, and.
To that word of a man, Ray stops moving.
That's the person Ray thought he was using magic items or something to attract Cobolt in one case of Cobolt, though it was half the time.
To the man's words, Ray notices the men with axes... look at the redcloth men... whoops.
(Wait. What are these guys doing here?
When I first saw the two groups here, I thought that the group of those with axes came here to see what would happen if they confirmed their collaboration in the battle.
But when it comes to red cloth, the story changes a lot.
Magic items that attract red cloths, axes, cobolts, and dirt walls that prevent cobolts from entering.
They combine…… to the conclusion that came out, Ray turns his gaze to those in red cloth with a grin.
However, that grin is not a normal grin, a grin that deserves to be hailed as fierce.
The people of red cloth who were directed that grin... No, not just the people of red cloth, but even a group of people who were arguing with the people of red cloth until earlier, something cold runs on their spines.
That's as if they put some snow still on their backs around them.
If you move a little, Ray could attack you.
In such tension, Ray accidentally opens his mouth.
"For once I ask... you guys, you're here to break the dirt wall I built, you're not gonna say anything, are you?
While asking, Ray also expects that if he sees the information he has and the guys that he maintains the axe in front of him, he probably won't get his predictions wrong.
Now, the redcloth men couldn't say anything about Ray's words.
"What's up? If not, then no, can you be honest with me? Otherwise, we'll have trouble with the means we need to take."
What exactly is the means to be taken?
That was obvious to the redcloth men without even thinking about it.
That being said, soon we realize that our mouths can no longer say that we have been ordered to break down the dirt walls, but it is clear that even if we say no here, we will never believe it based on Ray's condition.
"Gru!"
You felt stuck watching the redcloth men like that, watching what was going on next to Ray and Seto squeaking sharply.
"Hih!
Those who had made noise about the inhabitants of Gilm as red cloth, but they still did so by working evil deeds that were unscrupulous.
If a griffon like Seto gets grumpy, it's not weird that his legs are trembling as soon as possible.
Some of the red cloths had seen Seto playing with several children all over the city, but Seto, who is doing this now before us, is not very much, but doesn't look innocent then.
Seeing those redcloth people, Ray smiles and opens his teasing mouth.
"What's going on? You should be honest with me, okay? Otherwise, Seto would be in a worse mood."
"Wow, okay! Say it! I say it, stop it!
"Hey, hey idiot! If you imitate that, you know what happens!
Instead of the usual circular eyes, when one of the men with a sharp gaze that sees the prey shouts aggressively, another man who was right in the vicinity of it shouts reprimand.
We naturally know that the person we hired is not a decent person.
If that's the normal person, they won't imitate it until they hire people to make security worse.
The market has decided that there are circumstances that cannot, as a matter of course, be taboo in doing so.
I understand that but...... that's why I can predict what kind of eyes I will see if I imitate betraying the person who is hiring me.
Less, verbal attention to end, etc. would never be possible.
That's why I was annoyed by the behavior of the man who shouted at Ray when he said it, but it was already nothing more than too late to say something like this that obviously had a back.
"Well. Then... right. Let me know what you were going to do."
Say it.
It was the man who yelled at Ray earlier when he said he was going to look at me like that.
There is also the thought that no matter what you say here, because you betrayed your people first... the man opens his mouth while understanding that some of the people around him are staring at themselves.
"Well, I've been told to break the dirt wall you built."
The word wasn't that surprising to Ray, but it was incredible to a group of people who had a man in front of the dirt wall who complained about Ray.
"Stupid! Breaking the dirt wall means putting the cobolt inside the guild again!?
That's what shouted at the men's words was the man who complained about Ray.
Ningro Ray was surprised by the man's words.
Because this man, too, should have been unhappy that Ray built the dirt wall.
Given the words of that time, I don't see how you'd be dissatisfied with it, even if that's what the Redcloth men say.
But soon I decided I needed to ask the redcloth men more than that... and point that gaze at the redcloth men.
