Legend

2024 words

The morning after I stayed at the Marina's house...... Fortunately, or unfortunately, it wasn't a night where something special happened to Ray, who was able to sleep well in the room assigned to him.

It should be noted that the room to which Ray was assigned is one of those facing the courtyard.

The reason is great that Zozo is in the courtyard.

I didn't mind being in the hallway, but that happened because Zozo insisted he wanted to - naturally by gesturing.

Anyway, that was such a ray...... I hear something noisy in the courtyard and I wake up.

Usually, Ray wakes up very badly.

Because that's one of the reasons Ray can't go to the most crowded hours of the morning when he gets his request in the guild.

I suppose there's also a reason why you simply don't want to go to a crowded place.

"What noise?... Zozo?

No way, Zozo caused some kind of problem.

It was a half-sleep head, but when I realized about it, my consciousness rapidly became clear.

That's how I got out of bed and looked out the window, and there it was not Zozo...... but where Vihella was in a mock fight with Bühne.

Nevertheless, the difference in strength between Vihela and Bühne is more than clear, although that was one way or another deserving to be called training.

And not so far from Ray's room window, Zozo is watching such a mock fight.

There is no way to utter words, but there is still a stunning color in Zozo's gaze… At the same time, Ray quickly understood that he wants to fight.

"You want to fight?

"Huh!?

I guess I heard Ray and for the first time there Zozo realized that Ray was awake.

As always, I politely greet Ray as he utters words I don't understand.

I didn't understand the words, Ray, but I could still predict what Zozo was saying right now.

It would be a morning greeting, he said.

(No, or did you apologize for not realizing what happened to me? Well, either way)

After a gentle wave to never mind, I've had a fuss, and Ray tells Zozo to wait there for a moment, get up to speed, and then go out to the courtyard.

It's still early in the morning, and there's no sign of Elaine, Arla, or Marina.

Still, being set to a comfortable temperature by the spiritual magic of the marina would have been very helpful to Zozo, who revealed the night in the garden.

(Hopefully today, I can get in touch with Grimm)

Touch the warm air, and I think so.

Ray tried to contact Grimm using a pair of orbs, thinking about Zozo and Lorolnora and maybe it was caused by Grimm doing some experiments using eyeball material, but in the end he never showed up on the other pair of orbs last night.

I suspect that's what happened because I'm obsessed with experiments with extra eyeball material, and this one still has something to do with Grimm's experiments.

Let's use the pair of orbs again tonight.

When I thought so, Ray was just standing in front of Zozo.

● ● ●

To Ray's appearance, Zozo utters what appears to be a voice of doubt.

To such a zozozo, Ray takes one long sword out of the mistering.

... It should be noted that Ray's mysteries also housed a considerable number of weapons, starting with the Long Sword.

That's not what I bought, it's what took the weapons the bandits had when they hunted the bandits.

They sell to some extent, but because of various other uses, many of them are thus stored in mysteries.

Ray took out one of them.

Pass that to Zozo.

The zozozo handed over doesn't see why Ray does such an imitation and points the gaze of doubt at Ray.

But Ray doesn't mind how Zozo looks like that, he takes one spear out of the mistering.

These spears are not dusk spears, let alone disposable spears used to throw them, but one of the spears taken from the bandits.

Ray with the spear in his hand takes some distance from Zozo.

If that were the case, Zozo would also have understood what Ray thought and imitated as such.

Say nothing, shut up and set up a long sword.

Nevertheless, he is a zozozo over two meters tall.

The long sword Ray gave me was made by a bandit... for normal people to use, and when Zozo holds it, it feels small somewhere.

Still, Zozo doesn't even show how hard it is to handle the long sword he has... keep it up.

I fought in the Trent Forest - it's subtle if I may describe it - but sometimes, because I was totally insulting about Ray, that blow was something that wasn't very much but couldn't be called full force.

But not now.

I knew enough about how much stronger Ray was than I was, and I understood that Zozo's power now made him an opponent I couldn't fathom.

That's why I thought I needed to do all I could with this training and show Ray my powers.

"Huh!"

Zozo comes forward at once, voicing like a snake, close to the sound of a shrug.

More than Ray's weapon being a spear, he really needed to pack his mistakes to fight in his favor with a long sword.

It is also naturally in Zozo's calculations that long patterned weapons like spears are disadvantageous when they are packed in time.

Most importantly, if you are as skilled as Ray is, you certainly fully understand how to deal with it when you are stuffed with a mistake.

Try not to expect too much around there, and with any luck, I'm only expecting a degree that Ray's offense might be dull.

Ray waves the spear with a degree of force that draws some strength and then firmly becomes Zozo's training.

That's a blow to the horizontal giraffe.

Spears are the main method of attack by nature, but there is also the choice to pay.

That was Ray's blow, but if you try it zozozo, it's a blow that reminds me of when I ate a lateral giraffe blow with a death-size pattern.

Still, Zozo forces his body to move forward, trying to step back, in order to overcome yesterday's blow, and to show Ray his power.

Did that work, Zozo succeeded in forcing her body to lay low by using her tail?

A giant larger than two meters sank in an instant.

To that, Ray is also purely surprised...... but he is forced to change the spear's orbit just by the movement of his wrist.

It's precisely small-tip technology, but if Ray does that, he'll have a different result than the adventurers around him.

It was a blow in the patterned part, but Zozo leaped the giant by slamming his tail to the ground again, that blow wielded by the momentum of slashing and tearing the air.

That's an impossible sight to think about normally.

In fact, it's an impossible move for any other Lizardman.

Zozo, dodging a spear blow that fell like that, waves his long sword as it is... but for some reason that blow can be stopped on the way.

No, not for any reason, that's Ray taking Zozo's blow with a spear, but it's a late event.

"Huh!?

Zozo breathes, like it's incredible.

Naturally. A spear that I should have dodged a moment ago was in front of me again for some reason, taking the blow of a long sword.

For a moment, I also wondered if he had created a new spear with the strange move earlier - mystering - but he was accidentally powered in a situation where he was taken the blow of a long sword, and soon he would concentrate again on a mock fight...... It was almost simultaneous with Hate and Ray, who speared the long sword away rather than Zozo taking new action, poking the spear's tip at Zozozo in a wrist move.

● ● ……

Zozo showing things like incredible.

But I guess I decided from this situation that I couldn't take it to my win.

Drop the long sword you had on the ground, take a few steps back and grace yourself towards Ray, indicating that it is your loss.

Even if the words didn't make sense, I knew Zozo was admitting to losing, so Ray also put down the spear he had erected, and the mock fight ends.

"You've been using your tail very well."

Ray says as he was impressed, pointing to his tail.

Neither did Zozo, I guess, understand Ray's words, but still that Ray praises himself.

I tremble my body happily and bow my head again.

"You're doing something funny. Why don't you let me do a mock fight, too?

And it was Vihera who accidentally spoke to me that way.

Until earlier, I trained in combat with Bühne, but seeing Ray and Zozo mock warfare made me want to try to fight Zozo myself.

Given Vihera's character, it's not weird.

Ray decides that Vihera won't stop if she stays like this, sees Zozo, then Vihera, and lightly stands up.

At first Zozo didn't know what Ray was doing either, but still nodded as he repeated the same act several times to understand what Ray wanted to say and what Vihera wanted.

Always, I guess he didn't imitate getting a mock fight just because he didn't seem very strong looking at Vihela, but fortunately Zozo was watching Vihela and Büne mock battles until Ray happened.

Seeing it makes it easy to imagine that Vihella is quite strong… that's probably stronger than herself.

"Okay, they don't have a problem"

"I've seen it since yesterday and I know it's quite inconvenient that the words don't make sense."

Vihera squeaks and squeaks as she looks at Ray and Zozo.

Ray was also in agreement with that opinion, but it is also true that that is why he has become quite accustomed to it because of his repeated gestures and willingness to communicate.

Still, it's true that communication takes a lot of work, and I honestly wanted Zozo to remember the words as soon as possible, than I don't know if I'm completely out of communicating my will.

Together, when the simulation is complete, Zozo picks up the long sword he dropped on the ground earlier.

Vihera will take her place as usual so that she can face Zozo.

Without a starting voice, each other moves out at about the same time.

Unlike Ray and Zozo's mock battle earlier this time, Zozo with a long sword is in his favor in time.

It would have been different if Vihela had created a magic claw on her hand, but there was no such imitation in this battle, and Vihela would go forward without even showing how nervous she was.

I guess such Vihera's behavior was unexpected for Zozo as well.

No way, stop moving like you were stuck in the void for a moment by a vihela coming straight to where you are... but the next moment you wave a long sword towards such a vihela.

That long sword wielded by Zozo's arm power would be difficult to avoid if that were normal.

But that is only a story if it is normal, and it is impossible to put Vihella within the bounds of normality.

Vihera uses her legs and dodges Zozo's blow as if she had completely cut it off.

No, in fact, Vihera must have seen Ray and Zozo's mock battle earlier with that eye and cut Zozo's sword off.

If Zozo's skill is equal to that of Vihera… or close, it is difficult to see Zozo's skill by itself.

However, Vihera's skill greatly outweighs Zozo's, and because Zozo's use also affects not his accustomed long sword, but that of a bandit given to him by Ray, it cannot be said to be a complete situation.

So Vihera lightly creeps Zozo's blow...... at the next moment, that fist enters Zozo's body.

Nevertheless, Zozo's skin is covered in scales and works equally well enough with it even if he is not wearing armor.

Zozo dared to take a blow from Vihera because he was confident in his defense and tried to add a counter to it, I guess that's what he thought...... the next moment, a blunt scream came out of his mouth.

The blow did damage as if Zozo's scales didn't exist.

A blow with a really normal fist, not like the kind of immersion clap that Vihella specializes in, shocks directly into the other person's body by magic.

At first glance, it's not very but it doesn't look like I'm working out, that's the Rigid Fist I don't think very much was rolled out by Vihera's hand, which suits the expression white fish.

The blow caused Zozo to blow up a few meters and roll down the ground… thus ending the simulation more lightly than expected.
