Legend

"Heh... yeah"

With that said, Vihera's gaze was directed at Ray whenever she said something.

Most importantly, I understand that Ray can also direct such a gaze from Vihera, so he doesn't seem particularly concerned.

About one of Snow Cyclops, Vihella wanted to try and fight, and I was sure she thought so.

"Oh. I think we'll probably solve one of the Kobolt cases before it's too far away. Granger's left it with Egg, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

A base for communicating with the person behind the red cloth.

The guards, who found a place to keep an eye on it, had quickly begun their watch there.

Having confirmed that, Ray put Granger on the egg as promised...... he didn't exactly have the egg, so it was to his men, but he told them what was going on and deposited it and came back to where Giganto Turtle was dismantled.

Waiting for such a ray was a grumpy looking vihella.

"That's one thing about Cobolt. … but why Kobolt?"

"That made me wonder, and the guards were wondering the same thing. After all, I didn't know what the reason was. It's just that there was an opinion among the guards that they wanted to get more than just a few powerful monsters."

To Ray's words, Vihella gets grumpy again.

If you try to be a vihela, a more powerful monster if you're going to manipulate it anyway... that's what Ray wants you to manipulate a monster like the Snow Cyclops he fought for.

Nevertheless, if Snow Cyclops becomes like a bunch of them attacking, the extent of the dirt walls built by Ray will be easily destroyed… in some cases, it is likely that they will be overcome without having to be destroyed.

If that happens, there is also a good chance that Snow Cyclops will break through there and break out all over the city, unlike Cobolt, who is managing to stop the intrusion at the site of the additions.

Gilm has a number of skilled adventurers, but that doesn't mean he can take down monsters like Snow Cyclops right around the city.

Most importantly, it's winter, so there are never too many people in the tavern all day.

Even if those people fight Snow Cyclops, that would only unnecessarily spread the damage around them.

"In the meantime, it's tomorrow. You can come with us tomorrow morning. That way, there could be a strong guy among the monsters drawn to the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood and flesh pieces"

Originally, Ray used terrain manipulation to fill the soil currently on the table and even thought about imitating it by bringing another soil from under the ground......

But given what happened to Vihera, there was no reason to imitate her like that.

... For Ray and Seto, there is a possibility that they can obtain unknown demon stones, so they can never reluctantly imitate that.

Oh, yeah.

Cash, Ray's words fix Vihera's mood lightly.

(You just didn't have a powerful monster yesterday, and given that, you don't necessarily have one)

In the end, we're lucky to see what kind of monsters come out.

Even if Vihela comes here in the morning with Ray, if she's not lucky, she could only be around monsters like Kobolt and Goblin.

Still, in the end, the option of not challenging Vihera here did not exist, beyond not being able to get it without a challenge.

"... Gru?

Look at Ray, Seto rattles his throat.

Can I play with that? And it's as if that's what you're saying... its gaze is directed at the maze Ray made of dirt walls.

There, the escort adventurers are still defeating the opponents who have been through the maze.

It's not a very complicated maze, but I guess that was enough for Kobolt.

"Uh, right. Don't stand in the way of the people who are defeating Kobolt."

"Gru!"

Ringing happily at Ray's words, Seto kicks the ground and heads toward the maze.

Ray, who was watching it, wonders if Seto wants to defeat Kobolt or try the maze... Ha Also, I don't know if the purpose is to experience both of them together.

Nevertheless, Seto will not have ears to listen to, no matter what Ray says now, more than he has already allowed.

... No, I would really stop Ray if he told me to, but then I was sure I would just look sorry for him once I was happy.

Then it is decided that there is no reason to stand in the way of those who are defeating the Kobolts, so let them do as they please.

"Phew.... I was looking at Seto and I was a little distracted."

Viewing the exchange between Ray and Seto, Vihera disappears completely, grinning and squeaking, still looking slightly grumpy.

(Maybe this is what Seto was after?

I thought so when I saw how Vihella was doing, Ray, but if I saw Ceto walking around the maze quickly, I don't think he acted like he did earlier thinking about that, though not very much.

By then, Seto had innocently enjoyed the maze.

"In the meantime, take me with you when you punch into the place of the people who are setting up the Kobolt case."

"Well, as a force of war, it helps... what are you going to do?

"That's settled. Ask him if he imitated anything to bring in Kobolt. If I could, I wish I could know how. Something that might bring in more powerful monsters"

Vihera with a full smile and grunts so with anticipation.

Ray smiles small at such a vihera-like appearance.

That's why he said it was Vihera.

... Most importantly, fighting powerful unknown monsters means unknown demon stones could be available for Ray as well, so thank God.

With that in mind, Ray sees Bühne, who is using white clouds to finish the Kobolt out of the maze with a single blow.

There was certainty in Ray that Büne would not oppose fighting unknown monsters in terms of making money either.

"I agree with Vihera's idea, but what if the magic items they have from the guys who are making this one happen are the kind of guys that only call for Kobolt?

"Magic item... so to speak, Ray's claim did. I don't know if the magic item is really the cause of this one."

While returning words to Ray, he shows with his expression that it is never a magic item, as Ray says, in Vihera's opinion.

Ray could say something about Vihera's attitude...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

And, inadvertently, such a voice echoes around me.

What? Ray turned his gaze to those who spoke, but what was there was for some reason the appearance of an adventurer and a thinker happy with scaly objects.

"... scales?

Why scales? And, Ray speaks his doubts.

Giganto Turtle, as its name suggests - whatever is out of standard - is a turtle monster.

Naturally, there is no scale on that skin.

No, should I describe it as not exactly as clear a scale as Ray imagines?

But what the adventurer guy currently at the end of Ray's gaze has is definitely what Ray imagines... that's what snakes and crocodiles have, commonly called scales and imagine, such scales.

And the scale is about the size of a normal shield or bigger than that.

"Scale."

To Ray's whining, Vihella returns that briefly.

But such a vihella face also has a surprising color.

"What the guy who was dismantling had, that scales are Giganto Turtle scales, right? I didn't realize there were scales when I put them out."

Ray has touched Giganto Turtle's body more than once before.

That's why they store it in mysteries in the evening and get it out of mysteries in the morning, so that would be natural, too.

Nonetheless, until now Ray had no idea that Giganto Turtle's body had that kind of scale.

"Right. I watched Giganto Turtle quite a bit too, but I don't think the scales were anywhere.... I wonder where the hell that scale came from."

If the demolition had proceeded to the torso, maybe... maybe really, but I could have thought of it in a way that came out of the stomach, but so far the only thing the demolition is still going on is the leg.

Then, naturally, the scales came out of my legs...

"Hey, where did that scale come from? I've touched that Giganto Turtle many times before, but I don't think I've ever had a scale like that."

Ray was nearby guild official...... asks another person, not the one entrusted with directing the dismantling of this Giganto Turtle.

The guild clerk opens his mouth, even though he looks a little surprised that he didn't think he could talk to Ray.

"Ah, yes. From what I've heard, anything had scales under my skin or something."

"... under the skin? No, then you wouldn't know at a glance if I did... really?

"I'm pretty sure that's what the guy who took it out says."

Asked about the scales beneath her skin, Ray questions strangely from the bottom of her mind.

Naturally. If you believe the word now, Giganto Turtle had scales on the meat, covering it with skin… and that's what happens.

If there were scales above the skin, it was still completely incomprehensible to Ray that there were scales under the skin.

"Wait a minute. Is there only one scale found? Seems like no one else has scales."

"Right. So far, I thought it was just that one. … I was wondering if it was possible to find scales in the future"

"... yes. Ray, what do you think?

Vihera asks Ray, but Ray was also confused by the situation, which could be said to be currently unintelligible.

Most importantly, Giganto Turtle itself can be described as half unintelligible.

Given that, I guess it's not even that surprising that there's a certain amount of scales under the skin.

(Scale under skin...... you used a hidden shield or something like that? No, given the size of Giganto Turtle, those scales are too small)

It's just right for humans to have... No, it also looks like a slightly larger shield for some people. That seems too inappropriate for Giganto Turtle to use in such applications.

Then Ray had no choice but to answer if he asked why the scales were under his skin.

"I can't fit in, and I think I can convince you that's what it would be like if the scales came out of other places. I hope the scales aren't just that one.... What do you think?

"That being said, I don't know what kind of ecology Giganto Turtle is either. To be honest, I don't think there's anything I can do. We're gonna have to keep dismantling this, aren't we?

I asked Vihera, Ray, but it was those words that came back to it.

If you don't actually go ahead and dismantle it like this, is it really a coincidence that the scales are now, or are there similar scales on other legs for any reason... it's not clear around there.

Still, what I could tell was that that scale was going to be some material.

That's the shape that seems to be enough for a shield to process just a little bit, and it's not uncommon for scales to be an ingredient in medicines, starting with potions.

I don't know exactly what kind of material it could be used as, unless I looked closely into it, but it still seemed to Ray, as if it were certain to be some kind of material from the rarity of Giganto Turtle.

"In the meantime, suppose I expect that scale to be a good material"

In the end I settle for that kind of conclusion.

In the first place, we still don't know how much unknown material will come out of Giganto Turtle's demolition.

More than that, I don't know how much noise it will make where one or so unknown materials have emerged, given what lies ahead.

Scales are now more surprising than expected, because Giganto Turtle's skin is also an unknown material.
