Legend

"Ooh."

Such a voice comes out of Ray's mouth when he arrives at the Lords' Hall.

Because there were plants growing in the Lords' Hall, so much so that it could be seen from outside the gate.

Now more than it is spring, plants naturally grow.

But still, it's obviously weird that things like stretching more than two meters yesterday today.

And it's natural that there's more to it than weird, and Ray could have predicted why.

"Uh... for now, yeah. This is a meal for the Lorolnoras, isn't it?

Asking one of the soldiers who is the gatekeeper, the person softly turns away.

In front of the Lords' Hall today, it's clearly different than usual.

As usual, there are many merchants lined up to say hello to Dusker about the construction of the additions, but that figure is nowhere to be found.

Also, the number of soldiers at the gatekeeper in front of the main gate is clearly higher than before.

It was clear that the reason was in yesterday's case.

"In the meantime, I hear the Rays are coming, so get inside."

Following the word of the gatekeeper, the Rays enter the Lords' Hall.

Then, the first thing that came into view was a plant that was still well visible even from outside the gate to say.

In some cases, such a sight makes me wonder if this is really the Lords' Hall.

"Wow, this is..."

Elaine squeaks like she's impressed.

The yellow in its hands also sounds a surprise at the surrounding sight, which is showing a completely different look, even though it is a place that has been here several times.

"This is... awesome"

Meanwhile, the marina is showing surprise and at the same time impression.

When I first heard about the green subpeople from Ray, I was forced to grow plants... that's what I thought it might be straining plants.

However, if we see the plants directly in this way, it is understandable that the growing plants are not strained at all and are, on the contrary, lax.

"You're usually surprised.... I was surprised the first time I saw it too"

Ray nods at Elaine and Marina in such a way that she can see the surprise.

In fact, as far as this is concerned, the plant clearly grows faster than Ray saw yesterday.

What the Lorolnoras showed us yesterday was only about a few centimeters long.

(I mean, what I saw was a treat to the extent of a snack, so the plant only grew a few centimeters or so? If Lololnora and the others are serious about eating, if it's all about stretching out to Constant or something... you don't have to worry about losing the trees growing in Trent Forest. soil nutrients or something like that worries me)

Continue walking in view of the surrounding sights and eventually the Rays arrive in front of the Lords' Hall.

"Gru."

"Cu?"

Seto and Yello head into the courtyard with both of them without Ray having to say anything.

It is an act carried out without any say to Dusker, but it is obvious that if it is Dusker, he decides that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this extent, in fact Ray, who has come to the Lords' Hall many times before, but has never been told anything about it.

Thus, open the door of the Lords' Hall as you are already accustomed to...

"Welcome"

I see the maid was waiting ahead of me and I'm convinced in a way.

At present, the Lords' Hall was in a strict state of precaution due to the presence of such things as the green sub-people and Lizardmans who had been transferred.

That means that even the Rays, who have Dusker's old familiar marina and the greatest zozozo among the reservoir men who have metastasized, can't walk in the mansion as they please.

"Where is Dusker now? It must be a lot of trouble about yesterday, but can you show me around?

"I'm in awe"

The maid nods instantly at the marina's words.

If this were a normal opponent, the maid wouldn't respond like this either.

But the marina was distinct in many ways.

That's why Dusker has been in and out of this Lordship's Hall since he was a little girl, so education around it is considered solid when he is hired as a maid.

For Dusker, half his sister - although he would never admit it in person - is such a thing, and that is why such a discretion is also allowed.

... but other than that, I have Zozo, and I know a series of circumstances, so I guess it's huge.

"This way, please."

That said, the maid takes the lead and walks out.

On my way was the big hall used when we had the party, not the office as usual......

Besides such men as Dusker and his men, or the knights of the escorts, there were also the green sub-men and the Lizardmans.

"Whoa, are you here? … and many more."

"Oh, this is a lot of interesting stuff. Besides, as Ray's buddy, right?

I was a dusker trying to say something back to a marina who said that with a smile on her face, but I can't even argue with the marina about the embarrassment she had when she was little... more than she knows what black history is supposed to be.

Besides, it's true that the Lizardmans had a lot to ask the Dark Elves Marina about the Green Subhumans, starting with Lorolnora, because of their abilities.

(Marina must have come from Ray with interest in hearing about these guys' abilities, too)

That's what Dusker says, turning his gaze to Zozo.

Zozo, who is holding back behind Ray, glanced at his men Lizardman and, knowing that no one was particularly injured, showed no particular interest beyond that and stood still behind Ray.

"Ray, nothing wrong with you yesterday and today?

Ray nods quickly, understanding that's what he's asking about Zozo.

"Yes. To be honest, you're so submissive that I think you're someone else than when we first met."

"Huh. If that happens, could those Lizardmans over there do the same? Ray followed Zozo because he won the fight, didn't he? Doing so..."

Dusker whines as he looks at the Lizardmans, but as Ray, he doesn't even recommend a fight.

Did Zozo really start following Ray in the fight, or was Zozo the only thing of that nature...... no, he had character?

Because I don't know the area.

If Zozo was the only one with that personality, challenging Lizardman to fight and obey in such a situation would be quite unsavory.

Especially when something happens than the Lizardmans are more likely to belong to some country, the problem will get bigger.

If it's about Ray noticing, then naturally Dusker notices, too, and shakes his neck immediately to the side.

"Do you want to stop it?"

"You'd better do that."

"This is Lord Elaine. You're late to say hello."

"No, I know your convenience, so don't worry about it. Nevertheless... this is brilliant..."

It was Lorolnora and the others who turned Elaine's gaze on her.

Even its skin is green, which is probably very unusual for Elaine.

"Oh. Is that you?... Have you seen the plants by the gate?

"Yeah, you seemed to have grown a lot more than I know,"

"When I asked the Lorolnoras how far they could go, one day... no, since they came to this mansion yesterday, so it's actually been half a day or so. Pleasant miscalculation."

"Half a day......"

I was surprised by the fact that it was half a day, Elaine, but it's actually shorter because some of those half-days also contain sleep for the Lololnoras.

Ray, who was listening beside him, was surprised that he had succeeded in communicating such a will by gesturing.

I understood the difficulty well just because I was gesturing and communicating with my will many times.

Easy communication isn't that difficult, but when it comes to complex communication, the difficulty of gesturing increases acceleratively.

(If you were a Dusker who experienced the area in person, you would have thought it was imperative to teach the Lorolnoras and the others words and letters. and also to the Lizardmans)

I think so, Ray asks Dusker.

"Often, you were able to make Lorenola and the others understand the difficulty."

"Do you understand me?"

Dusker whining about things like smudging.

Seeing that, I can actually predict how difficult that exchange was.

Although I actually had a gesture with Lorolnora and the others, it's not necessarily Dusker himself.

No, it would be more likely that Dusker, in the first place in the position of lord, had let his men do it, given things such as whether it was okay for him to take time for such a thing.

"Whatever it is, it's good to know what Lorolnora and the others are capable of"

"Right. It was hard, but it was worth it."

Dusker squeaking and squeaking.

Having seen that happen, Ray anticipates that he would be happy to have a look at one of Trent's woods.

Nevertheless, we don't know what percentage of the Lorolnora and the others eat, and it's a fact that it's hard to take them to the Trent Forest every time they eat.

(In that case, I guess it would be best for Lorolnora and the others to live in the Trento Forest... but the Trento Forest is a bit. I guess I didn't have a problem until yesterday)

Given the fact that we've been transferring places that are being attacked by the Lizardmans, it should have been more difficult to get Lorolnora and the others to live in the Trento Forest than Zozo's people might be transferring again.

That's because it could even be the worst result of letting Lorolnora and the others live in the Trent woods poorly and, if you realize it, Lizardman was transferring at some point and everyone was killed, etc.

"Well, whatever you do, the first thing you need is a way to communicate."

"... right"

Dasker nods at Ray's words, like smudging.

I guess that's how hard it was to hang from yesterday to today and communicate with the Lorolnoras.

Though, I didn't think it would take me long to learn the words that much when I thought of Lorolnora, who easily remembered Ray's name.

"With that said, didn't the Lizardmans cause any problems? Zozo came with me."

"No problem. Was it Zozo? Because the Lizardman told me so well in advance, there was nothing particularly wrong with him, and he stayed very dear."

"Really? Then I don't mind."

While having a conversation with Dusker, Ray turns his gaze to Zozo, who is holding back behind him.

Zozo, who was gazed at, floated the colour of agitation in his eyes for a moment, not knowing why he had been turned away from such a gaze, but it also quickly disappeared.

I guess that's what happens when you can't show up clueless in front of Ray.

"Zozo, if you have something to tell the Lizardmans too, you can tell them over there."

With that said, show the gesture hand gesture Lizardmans and others.

Zozo shows a little lost, wondering what he wanted to say from Ray's condition.

But Ray's... if he cared about the person he served, he would give Ray a hand and then walk out toward the one with the Lizardman.

"You listen to Ray quite honestly."

Dusker squeaks like he's impressed.

There's a little envy color there, probably not because of Ray's temper.

Nevertheless, there are many loyal men in Dusker if you try it on Ray, so do you need to envy them that much? I have the feeling.

(I guess not all of them are like that)

Ningro, the fact that there are a large number of loyal people like Zozo makes me very uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, that doesn't mean there are traitors among Dusker's men.

Of course, I can't say I'm not there, but if I looked at my men's attitude towards Dusker, I was certain that there wouldn't be that many of them.

"So, Ray. About today..."

Before Ray says anything about Zozo, Dusker changes the story.

Ray nods as he holds the thought that he was slightly helped by the matter.

"It's about the Trent Forest, isn't it? What happened to the escort?

"I contacted the guild to get some hands-on adventurers together.... I would have liked to send knights and soldiers to a large extent, but now I'm still making it so much worse because it tastes so bad."

"Oh, but... you know, maybe the guys and adventurers who saw yesterday are drunk at the tavern and saying things, and then maybe there 'll be rumors spreading before it's too far away?

In Marina's words, Dusker gave a subtly unpleasant look.
