Legend

"Hmm, so you don't mind in the middle of the day tomorrow?

On the night of Marina's negotiation with Dusker, Ray was in the same room as the day before, using a pair of orbs with the same members to talk to Grimm.

Its purpose is, naturally, about how to transfer the tentacles and their date and time.

"Oh. Thanks to Marina for negotiating so well, we can fight the tentacles alone.... than that, for once, but you're really okay with that, right?

It was naturally Ray who came up with the idea of relying on Grimm.

But still, just in case, I guess it makes you want to know if you're really okay with Grimm.

In contrast to such a ray, Grimm leaks a laugh on the other side of the pair of orbs.

... Ray didn't even know how he was leaking laughter when there was no such thing as a vocal cord.

If you're going to say that, it's weird that Grimm is talking about it in the first place.

"I peeked at the place Ray told me today just in case. Shortly after the sacrifice was carried, as Ray said, a rift was made in the space, confirming that the tentacles had been stretched from it. I'll be fine with that. It seems to be in a different space than this, but that space is close to this world. '

Close space? was Ray, who questioned him, but Grimm didn't realize how Ray looked like that, and goes on with the words.

"Conversely, because it's such an underground space, whoever planned this one could have dealt with him.... although not very much, it didn't seem like he had a head of understanding the words'

"Then how did you get a contract for the Cobolt thing?

"Well, I don't even know that far. But normally, did you use some kind of magic item or skill… or I think it's a coincidence that you try depending on the allowance. '

"Coincidence..."

That wasn't very, but convincing, for Ray or... No, for the other three people who were listening to it.

Then I would still have been able to honestly convince myself of the magic items and skills I mentioned first.

"Nobu doesn't even know where it is. That's just what I thought.... Together, today Non saw his tentacles stretch out of the rift in space. So I was sure I could handle it. Isn't that what matters?

"If you say so, yes, but"

I wasn't entirely convinced, but Ray nods at Grimm's words.

By what means did something like this happen?

If we don't know that, it's big that we can't prevent the next similar thing from happening.

Most importantly, I regretted Ray having to borrow Grimm's hand next time.

"Ray, we can't get around that. Let's think about it later. Jarvis, you caught the mastermind in this case, didn't you?... Well, he doesn't know the details."

"That's right.... At the end of the day, Jarvis is only a site manager and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know the details. There's talk of kings involved, but I don't even know how true it is."

One thing about this one was that I really don't know a lot about it yet.

And it's not like Ray doesn't have anything to think about either.

"Mmm, Kohon. Do you mind if I talk to you back? So, it's certain that Noon can also look closely at the underground space, force it to transfer, and throw it out of the rift of space. So, where exactly do you do it...... I want you to decide that. You can't just throw it out in the right place, can you?

"Uh... yeah, right. But somewhere appropriate.... Which neighborhood would you like? Being poorly near the guilds can be damaging, so you need to stay away from it to some extent."

"I guess. When Ray seriously fights, it's no surprise the neighborhood is burning wilderness. Given such a place, it would still be a place away from the gilm. And you should avoid the streets."

No one leaks the opposite to Elaine's words.

Even Ray, considered one of the causes of the story, convinced me of the word, so I guess that's natural, too.

If the streets are damaged in the fight against the tentacles, it will greatly affect their mobility in the spring.

If that happens at present, when additional construction is being carried out, there will be significant delays in work from spring onwards.

Even though it took years of major construction, it was definitely something Ray wanted to avoid that such an impact would occur because of him.

"However, if you do... you'll have trouble if it's not somewhere with a proper landmark. If it's the right thing to do around here, that's why we're not here... aren't we? Mr. Grimm, may I ask you a few questions?

"Hmm, what is it?

To Marina's words, beyond the orb of the pair, Grimm returns the words a little intriguing.

"Can we move it to where we are instead of where we decide to move it?

'There's nothing wrong with that. Ray's magic will never be more landmark. "

"... Huh?

Ray is just a little surprised by the sudden appearance of a topic about his magic.

Sometimes it was uncommon for Marina to speak politely to someone, but there were more things I couldn't miss hearing than that.

"For once, a crescent moon ring is a magic item that keeps me from feeling magical."

Ray's magic was immense, and that was often what frightened those who had some means of feeling magical, just at first sight.

That's why since I got the crescent moon ring that it would cover up my magic, I've also lost such hassle...

"It would be a mistake to think that a magic item of that magnificence would delude Noh's eyes. Most of all, that magic item is definitely quite a performance. In that sense, you can feel Ray's magic outside of Non."

To Grimm's words, Ray doesn't know if he should be relieved or surprised.

Nevertheless, it may be fortunate that someone could have told Grimm about it, not his malicious opponent.

"Really?"

That's why Ray can only say that to Grimm's words.

In the first place, if Grimm has disabled the effect of the Crescent Moon Ring, you just have to look for a more powerful magic item.

Though I didn't think such a magic item would.

It was Ray, who is slightly thinking about it, but Marina doesn't look like she cared about it either, so she continues her meeting with Grimm.

"Okay, Mr. Grimm. At a certain time tomorrow afternoon, I'd like to ask that we... no, force Ray to transfer his tentacles and his Lord where he is."

'If that's all right, I don't mind as this one. But... I don't want you to forget about the promise you made in advance.

"That's for sure. Dusker... I have made a firm promise to the lords of the Guild."

'Then I don't mind. Let's see how it goes until one of the cases is cleared up, as a responsibility that we have also transferred. But if your lords are at a disadvantage in battle, you will never get your hands on them. In addition, if the power of placing them in the vicinity may cooperate at will, it will interfere with them. Is that okay with you?

"Yes, because in the first place, the soldiers will be waiting pretty far away"

Marina's words are by no means unfounded.

Starting with Ray, the battles are fought by facades who specialize in large-scale attacks.

If there were soldiers close to halfway from there, it was certain that the aftermath of the battle would undoubtedly cause significant damage first.

There's no way that Dusker or anything like that won't even think about the area.

Alternatively, none of them have the possibility of imitating Ray if they are anxious about his strength, but Dusker believes in Ray's … and the power of Red Lotus Wings, and on top of that, this time he's even joined Elaine with the alias of General Princess there.

That is definitely one of the finest choices I can think of in the current situation.

… but if it's not the finest, but the best option, it means mobilizing all the highly-ranked adventurers in the Guild.

It is not to say that such imitation is practically impossible… but it is also true that it is very difficult.

It is also necessary to meet and train each other to keep each other out of the way in battle if such imitations are made.

People with arms like high-ranking adventurers are often strong in themselves.

There are by no means many people who don't like to fit in with others, or that's what they hate.

Beyond that, when it takes time to meet and fold around it, that's all the time wasted.

Above all, given Grimm's terms, it's also an unmistakable fact that the Rays only have the option to fight.

In the first place, you can't imitate tentacles from underground space without a grimm.

"Hmm, so... that's not the deal."

Grimm tells him so, then greets him gently and the pair of orbs stop that function.

The sudden disappearance of Grimm surprises everyone, including Ray.

Nevertheless, given what Grimm was going to do, he decided that no matter how much time he had, there was no one to blame for Grimm.

... Actually, given Grimm's ability, it's not that much trouble.

"Phew, it's good to have decided to talk to you for now. He said the place to transfer the tentacles would mark Ray's magic."

Everyone nods at the marina's words.

Especially since it was able to mark Ray's magic.

If we're going to move it somewhere, we're going to need some kind of landmark.

But if you can mark Ray's magic, that's the meadow - now it's a snowfield - and if you wait on it, the enemy will automatically come there.

Nothing would be easier.

"Later, if Marina reports this incident to Master Dusker and gathers reserve power, he'll be ready. Even so, my master."

What Marina explained to Dusker...... it was what the four of us talked about and decided just about now in this room yesterday, but still makes Ray feel subtle.

Ray has also acted on the grounds of his master's presence so far, so this one is slightly impossible, but it doesn't mean that it is still definitely impossible.

I know that, but I couldn't have told you not to be uncomfortable, even though the word master that I had only ever spoken existed from other faces.

"Oh, that's not so weird, is it? Normally, it is natural to have a master of magic.... Well, it's not like some of them read magic books and learn magic on their own, but it's pretty rare, isn't it?

"No, I know. I know... I really do."

Returning that to Marina's words, Ray exhales loudly to change his mood.

"Now, as we leave the Master's case for now, we have an appointment for tomorrow.... It's a shame Giganto Turtle is a little late to dismantle, but there's no way we're going to do bad damage here."

"Right. Even as a guild, the dismantling of Giganto Turtle will be treated as a routine winter event. … but it will still be over in a few years."

It is an unmistakable fact that no matter how gigantic Giganto Turtle is, it will not continue its dismantling forever.

More than that, naturally, one day the end will come.

Given the circumstances around it, no one disagreed with Marina.

"It's bad for the guys who are dismantling it, but you're off tomorrow.... Dusker has already notified the Alliance around here, right?

"Yeah. Dusker won't have a pull around either. Neither does the guild want to inadvertently talk about the big money making in the corner. … not only to dismantle, but also to be busy with the Alliance, so you can have as many people as you want."

"Hmm? Really? Isn't it time we saw the prospect of a solution to one of the Kobolt cases, and compared to before, much less busy?

"Um, Elaine. I've been so busy, I've got a lot of work to do. We need more manpower to clean you up than it's accumulating."

Those who were listening to the words of the marina nodded again as they were convinced.
