Legend

2001 Story

In the spring sun, Ray was flying in the sky aboard Seto.

The air is so warm that you want to say what the hell the cold was a while ago in the winter.

In that, Ray flies with Seto.

... Heading is a village or city away from the Guild.

Originally, it's not the kind of place Ray would go.

However, it was a necessary course of action in order to take him.

Of course, it's not like I'm going to force you.

Before Ray went, he had already recruited the men of the Dusker to go to their villages and cities, and to go to the guilds, even in the midst of his arms, so he carried them.

Usually, that's just what I can carry in the carriage, but in this case, things are different.

When it comes to traveling in a carriage, it really takes longer than traveling in Seto.

Not to mention that it is not one village or city that Dusker contacted, but several exist.

That's why Ray, who has a ceto cage that can use Ceto's mobility to bring everyone in at once, was promoted to this one.

When each will normally travel by carriage, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time.

If you think of it as travel time to the guild, it may not be that big of a trip time...... it's also true that even a little of that time, the thought of not being in shape now was in the upper levels of the guild, including Dusker.

"Gru?"

It was Ray, who was flying in the soft sun, but Ceto accidentally squeals.

To that voice, Ray looked down... and decided that would be the village of purpose.

Sometimes it was a trip along the street, and I guess it was lucky for Ray that he never got lost.

... Now, if you were heading to a village not along the street, you could have been the worst lost.

Nevertheless, most of the time, for some reason, the bandits will find something, and as a result, they will be defeated, and even if the surroundings are somewhat peaceful.

"Oh, there it is. Get off me.... not directly to the village, but some distance away from the main entrance."

Nowadays, the guards of the guilds and those who come to the guilds are quite rarely surprised because they know Seto exists.

It's just less and not all of us, but I guess that's more than Ceto being a griffon.

Therefore, it was also easy for Ray to predict that if Seto did something like get down in the village or right on the main entrance in a village where he knew nothing about Seto, he would almost certainly panic.

"Gru."

Seto, too, although he seemed a little sorry, obeys Ray's words with great care.

I guess because I've been to various places besides Gilm before and in many of them I know I was scared at first.

That's how Seto goes down toward the village with his wings winged.

Naturally, a villager who was watching to see if the suspicious guy would not enter the village in front of the entrance to the village is surprised at how Seto has descended.

While watching how it goes, Ray heads with Seto to the village as he descends from Seto's back down on the ground.

"Heh."

A villager, who was surprised to see Seto, put a spear firmly in his hand and pointed his tip towards Ray.

Seeing that, out of Ray's mouth, is a voice of surprise.

Nor do villagers think that they can beat Ceto on their own merits... Griffon.

Seto, who is more than three meters long, is not the kind of opponent he can handle if he is not also a high-ranking adventurer.

Nonetheless, that act of protecting the village without imitating it to escape was sufficient from Ray's point of view to favour it.

Nevertheless, as a matter of course, the hand of the villager with the spear is trembling, and the tremor is transmitted to the spear and the tip is trembling as well.

Ray opens his mouth so as to reassure such a villager.

"Don't worry, I'm not the enemy. Ray's here to pick you up from Gilm. You're right, aren't you?

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Yeah...?

You never expected words like that to come out of Ray's mouth, the villagers raise their voices in confusion.

I am in front of you because I totally assumed that was the enemy who came to attack my village.

Most importantly, this is not bad for the villagers.

If a villager living in such a countryside suddenly encounters Seto, the action would be natural.

Ning Ro, you can say that not screaming and running away or losing fear and launching an attack on Ray is a big deal.

"Please calm down. I repeat, I'm from Gilm. I'm currently working on an extra building in Gilm, but I don't have enough of a good arm. You're listening to that, aren't you?

The villagers sit down on the ground and open their mouths as if they had finally returned to me in the words of that ray.

"Ah, oh. I'm listening.... but, you know, really?

The age of the villagers is about twenties.

Normally, a man of this age can be a great force in doing field work, but still he's a gatekeeper, I guess, because he deserves it.

(I guess it feels like animals and monsters coming out of the woods don't go inside the village......)

Look at the forest not so far from the village and be convinced.

Forestry naturally flourished in this village only in villages with good arms.

(Is that it? Is forestry okay even in the woods?

I have such doubts, but for now I decide not to care about the area and ask the villagers.

"So, who's coming from this village to earn money in the Guild? I'm sorry, but I have to stop by some villages and cities after this, so I can't spend much time in one village."

"Hey, give me a minute.... Is that it? Huh? Ah, erm..."

He was a villager who tried to get up from having a buttcake on the ground, but the movement stops on the way.

It's been dozens of seconds since I managed to get up...

"My hips are falling out."

With a pitiful voice from the bottom of my heart, I squeal so.

A normal villager, who had dived the training ground and was nothing, saw Seto without thinking about it.

With that in mind, it could be taken for granted that I lost my hips.

"Uh, yeah. So, what do we do? If it's okay for me to go into the village on my own, I'll call someone."

"... bad, please"

Villagers who tell you how sorry they are.

It is obvious without having to think about what my situation is today.

Moreover, it was a great embarrassment to the villagers who were proud to protect this village to be seen by non-villagers and even to have Ray call for help.

Nevertheless, I have to rely on Ray more than I can do in the present situation.

"What about Seto? When I'm near you, I don't feel comfortable, do I?

To such Ray's words, the villagers think a little and open their teases.

"No, still don't let me in the village. Maybe a lot of people are surprised."

"Gru......"

To the words of the villagers, Seto shouts his throat unfortunately.

I guess that's why.

The villagers who watched that up close aren't maybe scared? And I think so for a moment.

Nevertheless, Seto's apparent power is very strong, and most importantly, its size was a problem in this case.

It is unacceptable for villagers to let Seto in the village more than they have seen such a seto up close.

That's what I thought, even though maybe the monster in front of me isn't actually that bad of him.

"I get it. Then Seto plays around a bit... and when he's around, he's going to be scared. Stay asleep. Ready?"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

As much as I'd like to say what the unfortunate look was like a few seconds ago, Seto squeaks happily at Ray's words.

I stroke such a ceto before proceeding into the village...... Ray stops his legs.

"With that said, what's your name? When I explain the situation, I'm going to need it around here."

"It's Kirales."

Villagers...... Hearing the name of Kilares, Ray once again proceeds inside the village.

Naturally, Ray stands out in the village.

Originally, even if this village is the size there, it would be rare for anyone other than the villagers to come.

For that reason, Ray sits on a stone in front of the house and speaks to an old man enjoying the spring sun.

"You got a minute?

"Hmm?... What about your lord? Not in this village."

"Oh. I'm from Gilm. In order to take the money earners. But..."

That's what I'm saying, explain the situation.

The old man who heard it nodded as he was convinced.

"Well, your lord.... um, I'm listening. I told you people were coming from Gilm soon enough... and it was fast enough."

"We can get on the set and get around. For that reason, shouldn't we just carry Kilares out of hips somewhere or deploy a replacement? Besides, it would be helpful if you could prepare yourself. We need to stop by a few other villages and cities, not just this village."

"Um, then I'll let you know right away. Nevertheless, how can it be so far away that there is a place to earn money?"

The old man, smudged and murmured, stood up, holding the wand that had been placed nearby.

Ray hears the words of the old man today and somehow understands who he is.

And the old man looks at Ray again after he stands up and opens his mouth.

"Again, I used to come all the way to this Gillier. You're welcome. If I could, I'd rather have a welcome feast, but I guess there's no room for that?

"Right. Like I said, we need to gather him around other villages and cities and go make money in the Guild just like we did here."

"Bye. Then wait for me at the entrance to the village. You can go to Gilm right away... and then you can take Kilares' replacement."

With that said, old man...... the person who presumably seems to be the village chief of this village walks away in front of Ray looking well enough for the cane in his hand.

Having dropped it off, Ray returned to the entrance to the village as he was turned from his surroundings to an intriguing gaze...... surprise.

Because there were so many children around Seto.

But soon enough, I get a convincing look.

If you are an adult who recognizes that a monster is an enemy… or a child of some age, it is not surprising to determine from that perception that you are a powerful enemy if you see Seto.

But I haven't taught you that yet...... no, I guess Seto wasn't scared for the kids who haven't been able to feel it firmly even when they were taught.

Seto also has a nostalgic personality, so there's nothing to scare the kid who plays with him, and Ning Ro is happy to play with him.

As a result, we were able to see what was currently spreading in front of Ray.

Even Ray found out that the parents and thinkers of the children were not sure what to do with such a child's condition.

I guess I would have to imitate things like protecting a child from a monster, but now that monster is playing with the child.

Not very much, but there was an atmosphere I couldn't tell you to get away from that monster.

Furthermore, when I saw Seto playing with the children, it also affected that he was not very much, but was not what I would think of as a monster.

On the contrary, when you look cute at the ceto you're playing with, even those who think so come out.

When confronted with enemies, they reveal a griffon-like sharp gaze, but other than that... that's what makes Seto feel even adorable when he's playing or eating something delicious.

The size of your body length, once you find it adorable, doesn't bother you that much.

"Hey, hey, Ray. Is this a good situation? Are you sure it's safe!?

Noticed Ray coming back near the gate, Kilares says as he panicked.

As for him, it's not funny for other villagers to see him lose his hips, but now the safety of the children was more important than that.

... I guess that's why Ray favors me around putting more emphasis on child safety than on his own shame.

"Don't worry. Seto fights back if he's a harmful opponent, but a normal opponent doesn't do anything."

Yes, Ray tells me, but Kilares, who doesn't know Ray very well and knows only rumors, can't honestly believe the word.

Even if I could hardly believe it, I could only believe it if I saw the sight that was spreading in front of me.

Such exchanges lasted until the arrival of the Qi.
