Legend

'Uhm?... well, Ray. Long time no see. "

What appeared on the pair of orbs was a familiar face to Ray.

Yes, Rich...... no, that's the grime you deserve to call Rich Road.

The three of them saw the grimm displayed next to Ray in a pair of orbs...... Elaine, Marina and Vihera are breathtaking to see what it looks like.

Even if you knew Grimm, you'd still be surprised to see him like that again.

'It's been a long time, I hope, but what does it mean to have people besides Ray?

In words, it was a grimm like blaming Ray, but the voice shows things like being funny.

The three of them, who saw something surprisingly teary, can only relieve a little nervousness.

I was wondering if Grimm would do us a favor.

Of course, I didn't really believe in Grimm from the bottom of my mind just because of the current exchange.

That's all I thought, maybe... maybe that's really what's going to happen.

Those three had silently decided to leave the occasion to Ray.

Ray was the only one who originally had anything to do with Grimm, so the choice was natural.

Ray, who was gazed at by the three of them, opens his mouth, wondering how he should answer to Grimm's condition.

"Uh... actually. I got in touch with you because I needed a little help. Remember what happened in Emosion?

"Emosion? Ha..."

Grimm gives a little thought to the word emotion out of Ray's mouth.

Most of all, there is no flesh or skin, only bones… just skulls, although it only seems to be the wind that probably is.

"Look, of the sea..."

'Oh, you mean that time. Even if I remember. With that said, you said that place was an emotion. So? Does that mean you want me to transfer some kind of giant presence again, like that time?

From the flow of the story, Grimm asks Ray if he has thus guessed why Ray has contacted him.

Ray nods back and explains the situation beyond what was actually wrong.

Contents such as the space present in the basement of the gilm and the tentacles where the space comes out torn, sacrifices and cobolts.

'Hmm, I see.... That's interesting.'

That's what Grimm tells Ray to say to the explanation from his mouth.

I'm just a little surprised, Ray, because I didn't think Grimm would be interested.

But in the sense of borrowing Grimm's hand, it's huge that he was interested.

"Looks like you're interested. Above all.... So, what do you say? Unlike during the Rem Race, this time the enemy is not in this world, but a rift in space...... if you say so, he is outside this world. Still think you can do something about it?

"Whatever."

To Ray's words, Grimm answers that without any hesitation.

That's not something like being glorious, it's probably a word because I'm really confident in my strength.

"Then... can you ask for it?

"Nothing else, Ray's doing it for me."

For Grimm, the presence of Ray was special.

To be precise, Zepile, who entrusted Ray with the art of warcraft, was the longing for Grimm in his lifetime.

That's why I listen to Ray's request, which should also be called the successor to Zeppyre, unless it's too much for Grimm.

... Nevertheless, in the form of pro bono service, it could take the form of relying on the grim immediately, not trying to solve it on its own if anything happens to Ray.

Then I'll get paid.

"Rewards? Well, if you want the kind of reward you can pay me, it's nothing. Grimm's not in trouble for the money or anything, is he?... you won't be able to spend money in the first place."

Of course, if you really want to spend money, Grimm has all the means to do so.

Few merchants simply manipulate someone to buy something, or have no problem if the other person pays you properly even if they are undead.

But I didn't think Grimm would want anything that people could get.

And Ray's predictions come true.

'Uhm. Ray's words are not wrong. The only thing I want... is someone to transfer it this time.'

"It's... Also, what do you mean..."

Was it too unexpected, Ray won't be able to go on with the words any further.

No, Ray isn't the only one who's surprised.

The three Elainers, who had tried to shut up the exchange between Grimm and Ray, were also surprised that they didn't think they were going to make such demands, even if they didn't have to speak up.

Ray was the first one to return it to me.

"What, those tentacles again?

"Being out of a rift in space means you can be sure that its existence has the ability to interfere with space. More than that, I assume it's only natural that Non would be interested?

"That's... yes..."

I also know what Grimm says.

Also, if Grimm is going to say more than just being in a position to give me a hand, I'm pretty sure I have to take it on.

Or if he negotiated, maybe he could pull it off, Ray thought for a moment, but as far as Grimm's attitude was concerned, he was sure he didn't have a single step back.

'Besides, from what I've heard, that tentacle isn't necessarily a monster in this world either. If so, maybe Ray has the demon stone he wants... isn't it suspicious?

"Ugh..."

It's also not clear whether that being is actually a monster or not.

No, on the contrary, it's also not clear that this world exists.

More than that, it would also be suspicious if Ray had the demon stone he wanted.

But it's also true that you may have suspicions.

(What do we do? I am certain that if I ask Grimm, he will definitely do something about it. But Demon Stone...... there may not be, but I also have trouble getting the kind of material)

Some would like it to be a material for a magic item, but more honestly I still want the material in the evidentiary sense that I crusaded the tentacles.

But if you don't snort here, you probably can't say no to Grimm's rewards as far as Ray is concerned, more than Grimm won't help.

"Grimm, can you do something about it?

'Hmm, right.... So let's do this. I guess Ray wants the material or something because he wants to prove that he defeated the tentacles and the dots?

I didn't say that directly, but from how Ray was doing, Grimm was guessing the situation, and he says so.

"Ah, oh. Otherwise, I can't objectively prove where the tentacles that were in the underground space went or whether they were really defeated."

"Tentacles disappear when they're cut off."

Vihera was the one who whined small enough to follow Ray.

I guess I could feel the area because I was fighting the tentacles directly myself.

Ray also just looked at the sight with his own eyes, and even if he was given the tentacles themselves, he didn't think he could sustain it in the way it was.

(No, maybe if we defeat the root of the tentacles, the guy on the other side of the space rift, the tentacles won't disappear either)

Though I think so for a moment, it was Ray's expectation that it would probably be difficult.

'Hmm, let's consider that area. Shall we then make another concession? If... if the Lord of that tentacle had a demon stone, he could give it to Ray'

I'm saying concessions, but for Grimm, that's one way or another, close to natural behavior.

If you try to be a grim who respected Zeppyre in his lifetime, if Zeppyre can... and help with the warcraft left behind by one gate of Zeppyre, there's no option to not do it.

Although, naturally, we don't just go that far...

Though he will transfer the tentacles and their Lord elsewhere, Ray and the others will take them down. What do you say? '

"I don't mind. No, on the contrary, I'd like to..."

You may be able to obtain Demon Stones that can be used for Warcraft, as well as evidence that you defeated the Tentacles and their Lord.

It was a very thankful story for Ray, but as a party...... no, given the way things have been going so far, Elaine will be there, and so will Arla, naturally, if Elaine were to be there.

If so, it was only natural that there was no reason to decide on my own opinion.

Nevertheless, the three of them who are gazed at also quickly nod back at Ray's words like that.

"No problem. I originally wanted to rematch that tentacle. Then, Ningro, this proposal is a great idea."

"You honestly don't feel good to be in a place where there is such a presence not so far from my house. Let's just knock him out."

"I agree with you, regardless. You can't leave such a creepy being alone in the wild, and as for yourself living in a marina's house, you should naturally follow the landlord's opinion."

In response to those three, Ray opens his mouth with relief.

"I didn't think you'd listen to me so lightly."

"It's Ray's favor, naturally.... Actually, it's true that we should solve this case as quickly as possible. I don't really care about sacrifices."

To that word of the marina, both Elaine and Vihella nod.

Sacrifice is still not pleasant, even for criminals whose execution is assured.

Of course, if they really had no other means, the marinas would have admitted the sacrifice.

But I didn't have to bother choosing the option of using sacrifice more than I had the means in front of me that I didn't need.

Although... the choice I made in lieu of sacrifice was to ask for the cooperation of the grimm of the undead.

"Hmm. Apparently, the story is all wrapped up. …, which will be the last confirmation. What Non does is transfer its tentacles and get them out of the rift of space. The Rays fight that opponent. And the reward is the transfer of the area where you can prove that you crusaded and, if any, the transfer of the Demon Stone.... Isn't that good?

"Oh, that's fine.... Can I assume Master Dusker can persuade you?

"Yeah, we'll figure it out over here.... There's a lot of things I need to mislead, and it's tough."

Or maybe I can be honest about Grimm if I'm going to be a Dusker.

It was a marina that I thought it was for a moment, but there's no way Ray could easily divulge it to someone else than what he told us.

I think Dusker would be fine, but still, the undead is something people hate.

Beyond that, we needed to make up a false story, a so-called cover story, about how we managed to force the tentacles to transfer while hiding Grimm's presence.

'Well, I guess we've got a deal. Please let me know when you decide. "

"Okay. However, it can be a lot harder than not knowing exactly under what conditions tentacles will come out..."

'I'll leave that area to Ray.... the three of you'

Grimm, who was talking to Ray, calls Elaine and the others at the end just before she stops the call.

Elaine and the others glanced at the skeleton shown in the pair of orbs in a surprising way that they didn't think they could talk to Grimm.

You made sure the three of them turned their gaze on themselves, and Grimm speaks on the other side of the opposite orb.

"Ray is strong. And talented. But many places are still immature and dangerous. I'm glad that women like you are on Ray's side '

Saying so, Grimm bowed his head.

... Yes, the grimm you deserve to call Rich Road lowered your head toward the three Elainers.

That was, obviously, a stunning sight.

Even as Grimm lowered her head, she was the three who had been deprived of consciousness that for some reason the crown on that head would never fall, but eventually Elaine opens her mouth.

"I honestly don't see why Lord Grimm would be so intimate with Ray. I don't know... Still, what I'm with Ray is my choice. The other two as well. So there's no need for Lord Grimm to go that far. We chose a man named Ray ourselves."

I can't feel the fear or awe that was already in the first words of Elaine speaking to Grimm.

Talking to Grimm and really thinking about Ray, I guess that's what you decided.

Grimm, with his head up, glanced at Vihella, a marina who looked at herself with a similar gaze to Elaine like that, and he nodded one and ended the call for the pair of orbs.
