Legend

Ray, who returns to the marina's house with Seto, sees Elaine and Vihella looking like they've done enough warming up there.

Both sides were able to move without any problems even if they were going to fight the tentacles from now on, and when they were able to perform to the maximum, Ray could understand just by looking at them.

That's why I feel reliable, and Ray gives the two of us the meatballs he bought along the way from inside the mistering... and also to Ara and Bühne, who were away.

"We're going to fight, but you should keep a little something in your belly. Don't tell me you can't fight when you're hungry."

"... it's a word I've never heard, but it's true."

That's what Vihera says, while she clings to Ray's handed over meatloaf.

The sweetness of the skin first spreads throughout the mouth, then the taste of the meat spreads.

This is gratification because you are not making a filling with fine, ground meat, but with several bite-sized meats.

Most importantly, some people say it's better to have a ground beef filling because this neighborhood depends only on your personal preferences.

Either way, such a vihella is followed by others eating meat.

The only meat I recently bought from a reputable stall called Delicious and it tasted good enough to make everyone think it was delicious.

Eating that kind of meat, the Rays talk about what's going to happen.

"So, what happened to the marina?

Ray asks as he gives Seto, who has already eaten up meat, another meat that he has removed from the mysteries.

He made final confirmation to Dusker and said he'd be back soon, so that's what he thought when Ray got back, Marina would be back already.

But as far as the garden goes this way, there's no marina figure.

"If it's a marina, you haven't come back yet.... With that said, I didn't realize that I was obsessed with a mock fight with Vihera, but it certainly shouldn't be strange to be back.... um, this meatloaf is delicious"

Elaine squeaks as she savors the meat.

Elaine, originally a Duke's Lady, eats meat... it's impossible to eat food bought from a street, not a solid store either.

But it was also a great pleasure for Elaine that she could normally enjoy the impossible if she was in the guild.

"Nothing, the marina doesn't have that much to do... Ah"

Ahead of Ray, who cut the words along the way, turned his gaze, there was a Marina figure in her usual party dress.

"Oh, you're eating what looks delicious."

"Look. That was a lot slower than that. Was there a problem, too?

Ray asks as he takes a new meatloaf out of the mysteries and gives it to the marina.

The marina shook her neck to the side as she quickly savored the meat.

"Oh, this skin is delicious. I'm just a little cautious with Dusker. For once. If a knight or a soldier broke into us in the middle of a fight, we'd be in trouble, wouldn't we? Well, generally not a problem, after all, some people try to be arbitrary by craving a handle."

"Uh... I knew there were guys like that over here"

As far as Ray knew, I didn't think the knights and soldiers of Gilm had such a person.

Even when we fought together in the war against the Bestian Empire, we didn't see any opponents who would arbitrarily devote themselves for their own handles.

... Although it may be correct that in the war with the Bestian Empire, Ray created a fire whirlwind, which caused everyone to lose their temper and not be arbitrary.

However, if there are many people, there is no way that all of them are good people… etc.

If so, it would not have been strange to have such a person as a matter of course.

Not to mention that this time the Rays fight is a presence that can do a lot of damage to the Guild, so it wouldn't be strange to have someone who thinks so, wanting a big handle here.

Nevertheless, I can assume that the wish will not come true first than Marina, who guessed in advance of it, has cautioned Dasker.

"Yeah. No way, this is the only place where people are gathered and there are good people... Oh my God, you don't believe in dream stories, do you?

"That's right."

Ray naturally knew that there was a back society in Gilm as well, having been able to rub with such people several times.

Even if it doesn't go that far, I also know that it is natural to be someone who is doing something wrong personally.

"That's why. Besides, when the Knights and the soldiers move, there's a lot of people to look at."

They're from the aristocracy.

"Correct"

Not all of them are, but many of those who live in aristocratic neighbourhoods are entrusted with gathering information on Guild.

For such people, on a massive scale like this one… it is also an important opportunity to purchase information that moves so much power in the winter.

Including, of course, why we go into such behavior.

... And as a Dusker, I don't want them to know about a case like this one if they can.

In that sense, unlike Ray, who actually fights tentacles, I guess the Duskers are fighting behind it too.

"Oh, but it was the Kings who planned this one, wasn't it? Then the area..."

"I know there's still something unclear there, and from the testimony of those caught once, that the Kings are the most suspicious, but the Kings are just the biggest, and there are individual groups of Kings alone."

"You're a hassle."

"No, does Vihera say that?

It would be natural, in a way, for Ray to reply to Vihella's words with a slight blur.

It happened a few years ago, civil unrest in the Bestian Empire.

That means a battle between the royals, if you ask me, and it is more troublesome than the three main factions of the kingdom of Mireana.

But Vihera doesn't seem particularly concerned about Ray's words either.

I took part in the civil unrest, but I guess because Vihera herself already thinks she's out of the royal family.

"Yes, yes, take it around for now... it's almost time, and we'll all get ready for battle"

I suppose you decided that talking like this wouldn't reveal anything. That's what I tell you, as Marina slaps her hand.

In fact, I guess that's why everyone decided to waste their time talking like this all the time.

Even though time is not clearly set, it was clear that we should act quickly if we could.

Though...

"Gru?"

Ray looks at his outfit again as he strokes Seto rubbing his face against his remaining self in the courtyard.

Basically, in Ray's case, he usually wears a dragon robe, and shoes are Slapenil shoes.

Bad...... on the contrary, I don't want to bother wearing armor that makes my movements dull more than wearing top-notch or top-notch armor that performs better than first-rate.

Weapons such as Death Size and Dusk Spears are also stored in Mystering and can be removed at any time.

In other words, in Ray's case, there's no need to prepare for anything in particular.

That's why Ray will wait with Seto and Yellow in the courtyard while the other faces act to find out his gear.

By the way, Ara is not here because Elaine and Büne are acting with Vihera.

"Hmm? With that said, where did the yellow go? I knew you were acting with Elaine?

Two, I realize that I don't see the porn that should be playing with Seto if it's always the case, and I doubt it.

Naturally, there's no such thing as yellow joining this tentacle crusade either.

It was a very powerful defensive yellow, but in the case of tentacles, no matter how strong the armor is at the time its tip touches, it can ignore it and absorb things like the opponent's body fluids and meat.

In that sense, those tentacles can be called natural enemies of yellow.

Only the still small yellow could have been instantly only bone and skin if touched by those tentacles.

(Most likely, considering it's Elaine's built demon, there's no way that tentacles can do anything about it... and there's no way I'm going to try that on something like one or eight)

Yellow will still be a long way off in demonstrating its abilities beyond just being a child.

That's definitely not enough years, like years or decades, to be able to act as a dragon in the true sense.

"Considering that, Seto was born in this state, and you saved me. I'd like to see a little ceto."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Having heard Ray's words, Seto rattled to avoid sounding all around him… at the next moment, his body shrinks.

The body, which was three meters over, shrunk to about seventy centimeters.

How about a ceto about half the size? and comes to Ray with circular eyes.

Ray strokes Seto softly with a grin as he uses his resizing skills.

"Well, I think these cets are cute too"

It's supposed to be small... it's Ray's honesty that he wanted to see the newborn Ceto.

Nevertheless, I know that is not possible, so I was fully satisfied with the seventy centimetres or so of ceto now.

"Gru."

Was it a pleasure to be praised by Ray, Seto roars his throat with joy?

With the spiritual magic of the marina, Ray relaxes with Seto in a comfortable space that is not very, but not unlikely to be winter… Eventually, three Elaine, Marina and Vihera, who have thoroughly studied the equipment of the battle, reveal themselves.

"... you're very generous."

"I had nothing to do with it. I think we're ready to go."

Returning that word to Elaine, Ray, who was playing with Seto, gets up.

Note that no one has been surprised that Seto is getting smaller.

Several times now Seto has used resizing in this garden, which is why no one would have been surprised to see Seto as he is now.

The risen ceto is already back to its original size.

Elaine follows next to Ray, who walked off with such a ceto, and other faces follow.

"Ara and Beaune...... are you coming?

"Mm-hmm. Of course, as I promised in advance, I wouldn't imitate letting you take part in the fight. I just wanted to see it from afar, and that's what they said."

"I see. Anyway, should I stay as close to Elaine as I can as Ara"

Ray sometimes forgets, but Ara is the Knight Commander of the Knights of Elaine's Escorts.

If so, it is natural for Elaine to act together when she goes where she is in danger, especially if she fights someone she doesn't know how to handle, like this one, she would have needed to be the first to come forward.

... Even without the Knights Commander, Ara is purely inclined to Elaine.

If Elaine hadn't said anything, she would have definitely been in this fight as well.

"Mmm!"

Whether it sounded like Ray praised Ara alone, Bühne groans slightly dissatisfied.

Neither is Bühne worried about Vihela.

Beaune and Vihera are pretty old friends.

More than that, it would be natural to guide Vihera through herself.

... but that doesn't make me look like that.

But Ray has also acted quite well with Büne, and somehow I understood what he was trying to say.

"I know. I'm not blaming Bühne for anything. You're worried about Vihera, too, aren't you?

"Mmm!"

To Ray's words, now I nod back satisfactorily.

The Rays move on as they interact with each other afterwards.

Naturally, the appearance of such rays stands out.

... Sometimes it's because Seto is there, but it's more than that that that other faces are noticeable.

There are many who look at the Rays and see that they are all well armed and have thoughts about what the hell is going on.

Especially those who, like adventurers, it's become routine to fight from time to time, see the Rays and feel the disturbing air.

"Hey, with that said, did you ever talk about the Knights or anything moving? I didn't even dismantle Giganto Turtle today..."

"Oh. When that happens, I guess there's something"

"But now is the time? Hmmm... but Ray and his crew... they're staying with us until General Princess, too, to challenge the fight, right? No matter what happens, don't you feel like you can do something about it?

In the midst of such an exchange, the Rays proceeded with words to each of them.
