"Well, scales. If it's also a Giganto Turtle scale, isn't it pretty valuable?

As usual, Elaine asks that with interest as she talks about what happened today, eating dinner in the garden of Marina's house.

No, Elaine wasn't the only one who seemed intriguing, as were the other faces besides Vihera and Bühne, who actually looked at the scales with those eyes.

"Right. I think it's unusual.... but that's what it's actually going to be all about."

"I guess. … more than that, I was surprised that some of them were manipulating the Ningro red cloth behind it."

Marina was also interested in Giganto Turtle's scales, but sometimes he was a former guild master, which would have been more interesting with the red cloth and the presence behind it.

Cobolt itself is not a threat to adventurers in the Guild, but it also doesn't mean that everyone in the Guild can do something about it.

There are many faces in Gilm, such as former adventurers, who are taking part in the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, but not all of them.

"You're looking forward to hearing from the guards. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on Granger's base right now, so if there's any movement, they can reach us through the guild."

"It's hard to be cold."

That's what Arla tells you as you look up into the sky.

It's snowing at the end of my gaze, but that snow never comes into the garden of the marina's house.

How convenient a substitute for the spiritual magic used by the marina is shown as it is.

"Well, if you're here, you can see it's snowing, but it's beautiful."

Vihera following Ara's gaze squeaks just a little funny.

In fact, the current situation, where there was no way the snow was coming into the garden, was like watching the snow falling out the window from inside the house.

... No, I can only see the outside through the window in the house, but there is no such thing as the outside view being blocked by the walls in the marina garden, so this one will definitely be up there in terms of enjoying the snow scenery.

"Right. But even if it's snowing, I don't think you need to worry about the cold, because we talked about keeping an eye out from the buildings nearby."

Compared to watching outside, that will definitely be easier because it will keep the cold wind out even if it is the kind of digging cabin.

"Hmm.... Still, it's kinda hard to have to stay still, isn't it? Maybe I can't help it because I'm watching."

Many who were listening to the story nod at the words that Vihera grunts.

Those who like to stand still, those who are good at it are not... but still don't want to do it.

Most of all, that would be the same even for a guard.

That's what you do because it's your job.

(like watching... if you're in Japan, you'd have some leisurely comics... oh, but if you concentrate on comics, could you possibly miss it if people go in and out of the building you're watching?

Nevertheless, it is a fact that it is painful to just watch where you stand still, with nothing.

I guess that's why we're watching in pairs, in threesomes, even while we talk nagging.

"Whatever it is, don't feel like it's been moving a lot out of the Giganto Turtle thing."

"Oh, if that's what you mean, since Elaine and the others came back from Anesis, I wonder if that's a mistake."

"Really?... don't even feel that way if you ask me. There was a lot of commotion in Anesis."

With that said, Elaine's gaze is directed at Ray, who is eating oak meat cooked in a kiln.

It's like Ray's gaze just tells me he's sucking in trouble.

... and I was trying to say something back Ray, but considering what I've actually been through, I realize I can never deny being told I'm attracting trouble.

In fact, it's a big deal that Ray is unintentionally sticking his neck in trouble.

Above all, if Ray hadn't gotten into trouble in Anesis, it's likely that within the second city of the kingdom of Mileana called Anesis, an inexperienced monster or something would have been summoned.

I can't even tell you that what didn't happen was the result of Ray getting into that trouble...

"Uh... but one thing about Cobolt has been happening for a long time, before I came back to the guild, right? So I'm a little over-thinking that I got involved?

"Perhaps you are. But it's an unmistakable fact that Ray built the dirt walls to move the red cloth and the people behind it, right?

I can't deny that.

"Oh, I'm not blaming Ray for anything, am I? In fact, because thanks to that dirt wall, the number of cobolts coming into the guild has definitely decreased. As a collaborator, I'm delighted."

When Marina smiles glossy as she says so, Ray smiles back at it as well.

"Mm, Kohon.... for now. What kind of movement do those behind the red cloth make next... shouldn't we think about it?

Vihera nods to Elaine, who tells her after she coughs something up to delude herself, that she's right too.

"Right. Even though the guards are watching, there's a chance they'll notice it... and then they'll hit the lead from the other side."

"Leading the way? That would make it easier for me to do it this way.... Seto will be easier that way."

Despite the winter nights, Ray shrugs as he sees Seto and Yellow running around the garden in awesome temperatures like spring and fall.

"It's easier that way, I'm sure. But... the fact that he's in a hurry means he might use some means he won't even think about it, right? If you do, it will damage the inhabitants of the Guild."

"... If there's no damage to the guilds, that's what powerful monsters are welcome to do. Ray, don't forget your promise tomorrow."

Promise? And the other faces I heard Vihella say - except Bühne, who is focused on his meal - are turning their gaze to Ray.

Nevertheless, that promise is not as colourful as others think it is.

Ray knocked it down this morning, Snow Cyclops.

If there were such powerful monsters tomorrow morning, Ray and Vihella would have made a promise that they would fight.

As a Vihela who prefers to fight the strong above all, the option of missing such an excellent opportunity does not exist.

"Sounds like I repeat, it doesn't necessarily mean we have the kind of powerful monsters that Vihella expects, does it? If it's tomorrow and the remaining monsters are weak monsters like Kobolt and Goblin, don't complain."

That being said, I'm just hoping that a powerful unknown monster will show up as Ray.

That's why I didn't imitate the bloodstained ground that came out of the dismantling of Giganto Turtle as replacing the underground soil with topographical manipulation.

"I know. But maybe it's okay."

"... what makes you think so?

"Woman's Question"

The way I say it out is full of confidence, and Ray, who was watching it, is going to be unwittingly convinced.

But it's true that if they say it's a woman's account, there's nothing to disagree with for Ray the man.

And in fact, I know from experience since I came to this world that the woman's account is sharper than I expected.

Most importantly, Vihera has relied on that inquiry during the battle to seize a decisive opportunity over and over again.

More than that, there is no way Ray would imitate that scorn, etc.

(Cartoons and stuff, but there was such a sharp portrayal of a woman that she was psychic... Vihera is going to the ground.)

There was no such thing as Ray feeling the sharpness of something called a woman's exploration in Japan, but he has seen such an act many times since he came to this world.

That's why there was nothing like questioning that word of Vihera.

"... Yeah, I knew Vihella was awesome"

Early the next morning, Ray holds the Death Size and Dusk Spear in his hand, whining.

The monster in front of her...... of a giant, nearly two meters tall monkey with white hair, while it also avoided attacks from multiple sources, Ray still felt the Vihella woman's indulgence was not insulting.

If it's a tree like the one that grows around it, it wields a death size and cuts the torso up and down while recieving a fist as powerful as it can easily be broken with a spear of dusk.

White monkey lightly killed...... Alliance official says Ray sees Vihera fighting happily as he defeats Snow Monkey.

The way that the nails created by magic will cleave that skin while avoiding snow monkey attacks would seem more appropriate to describe it as dancing than as fighting.

Ray is not the only one who is blinded by such a battle of Vihella, but many others... specifically those who have come to dismantle it.

Those who are acting as adventurers and are quite used to fighting are blinded by the futile way in which Vihella fights and how she can move in that way.

And those who, like Suchi, have little experience fighting, are blinded by the brilliance of purely Vihella's dance-like movements.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

A short distance away, Seto is using a power crash to crush the head of a snow monkey.

The power of a skill that has reached level six is not only crushing the head of a snow monkey, but the blow makes things like flesh pieces, bone pieces, and brains of the head incredibly fine... that's what makes them fine and scattered around as if they were crushed with a dedicated machine.

... Ray also understood that the power is great, but even the right ear can no longer be used as a crusade proof site.

Nevertheless, Ray has no particular difficulty with the loss of one or two crusade proof sites, as he is not in trouble with gold apart.

If even the most important demonic stones were to be crushed, I might have pissed Seto off.

"Well, I got one, Ceto one.... then you should leave it to Vihera later"

Whimpering, he stores Death Size and Dusk Spears in Mystering, as does Snow Monkey's Body.

"Gru."

Seto, who crushed his head, also brings the corpse of a snow monkey to Ray as he drags it with a couch, throbbing.

Ray strokes Seto's head praising him for doing well while storing such a headless snow monkey body.

Seto, stroked in the head, looks happy, and narrows his eyes in a pleasant way.

With such an exchange, Ray was watching the Battle of Vihera with Seto.

"Mmm."

Turning his gaze to the voice that sounded unexpected, what was there was the appearance of Bühne.

It would never be Ray's fault that I felt that there was a color in that gaze that I was looking at Vihella that seemed to envy even a little.

"What's up? So Büne wants to fight Snow Monkeys with Vihera, too?

To Ray, who asks, Büne nods back, as usual, with no expression.

Nevertheless, it's understandable to Ray that that's not because he's looking for battle, but because he's interested in areas to convert to gold such as snow monkey materials, demon stones, and crusade proof sites.

But whether or not you can fight a snow monkey in Bühne right now would be a subtle thing to be honest with.

(I might be able to do something about one. The snow monkey's pinnacle is like a coordinated attack.... Given that, I guess I was lucky that Seto and I were able to deal with one)

At the end of his gaze, a snow monkey is attacking Vihera in a madness of death.

The sharp nails that are stretched out of your fingers are not strange by nature to tear your skin easily, tear your flesh and crush your bones.

But that's only a story if you hit it, and it doesn't make sense if you don't hit it no matter how powerful the attack is.

On the contrary, Vihera shreds the opponent's body with a blade stretched from his nails and toenails while avoiding such snow monkey attacks.

White furrows, as the name sugar monkey, are dyed red by their own shed blood.

Snow monkeys are trying to take advantage of the gap made by their buddies, but still Vihera shreds the body of the snow monkey with a move like the next one to dance with while avoiding that move.

In the end, all of the snow monkeys lay on the snowy ground.
