Legend

The Lizardman in front of Ray was sure he was Zozo's companion because he was wearing matching armor.

The Lizardmans are facing off against the adventurers who are currently protecting them.

Seeing it, Ray exhales in relief.

It seemed hostile, but I would say fortunate that it was still a staring situation.

If one of them was injured, let alone dead, they could no longer pull each other off, and were likely to persevere later.

(Jin is losing his hips, but this... well, he won't get hurt)

It was also easy for Ray to predict that he was probably suddenly surprised that Lizardman came out.

"Ray!"

One of the adventurers of the escort raises his voice like a joyful face when he sees Ray coming.

Naturally. With Ray, that's how I understood it wouldn't be difficult to defeat the Lizardmans currently in front of me.

And if the adventurers notice Ray's presence, naturally the Lizardmans who were relative to those adventurers will also notice Ray's presence.

But it's puzzling to see the look on the Lizardmans' faces.

Not very much, but I guess I didn't see Ray as a strong being.

In this case, it also affects the fact that it is small only on the outside, and furthermore, it does not bring face such as ceto or zozozo.

If I had taken them, or maybe I would have warned Ray.

Zozo, in particular, can clearly see from Ray that he is superior to the Lizardmans in front of him.

"Well, for now... shall I deal with them?

With that said, Ray takes Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering.

Nevertheless, can we keep fighting like this? It wasn't that I didn't have the feeling.

That can mean hesitant to kill the Lizardmans, or I'm worried that imitating them to defeat them without killing them won't result in obeying themselves like Zozo... being taemed.

Even though Seto and Zozo alone are quite difficult, it was clearly more troublesome to have more monsters following themselves than this, and it was Ray's honest desire to avoid that.

Nevertheless, the Lizardmans were motivated to see, and that was definitely what would have happened if Ray had retreated, cutting it off and the attack was likely to take place.

"I can't help it. There's no reason to stay like this forever... come on."

The Lizardmans, naturally, don't understand Ray's words.

But you still understood that Ray was willing to fight himself because of the nuances of the words and, most importantly, because he put up a weapon.

A few leading Lizardmans each have a weapon in their hand…

●●●●●●●●●

Moments, the roar echoes around you.

It was obvious without even having to think about who had pronounced that roar.

"You're here, Zozo"

That's how Ray speaks to Zozo, who showed up a little further away from Ray.

To Ray's voice, Zozo thanked him... and the other Lizardmans who saw it pointed their gaze at Ray like it was incredible.

(What's going on with these guys' attitudes to Zozo? After all, does that mean Zozo wasn't just a Lizardman?

Ray understands that the Lizardmans who came with Zozo follow Zozo.

But that's only because Zozo is our boss.

Yet even in the same Lizardman as Zozo, it was clearly doubtful that the newly transferred Lizardmans would follow Zozo from another unit.

(Or because Zozo is superior to the guy leading this unit... or something? If it's Ensign or Lieutenant leading this unit, Zozo is Major or or Lieutenant)

It was Ray thinking that way, looking at the Lizardmans who are surprised to see Zozo, but Zozo moves out before the idea wraps up.

When he returned from his gracious state, he proceeded toward the newly emerged Lizardmans.

What's on that look is anger.

Zozo shows such an attitude when the Lizardmans who defied Ray cannot be forgiven.

Nevertheless, Zozo also insulted Ray from his appearance the first time he met him, and he was to be baptized with painful hands.

"● ●, Ray ●!

Zozo screaming some word.

As usual, Ray didn't even know what he was talking about, but still, with Ray's name coming out of those words, I could understand him saying it in a way that told Ray not to be rude.

"Ray!... I see"

Then there's the marina.

A little late, Elaine, Vihera, and from there, other adventurers, soldiers, knights and so on arrive.

I guess the marina was able to rush to this spot first because she's still used to the woods in the dark elves.

... Zozo rushed to this spot the most, though I had a lot of doubts about Ray as well.

I'm forced to convince myself that it's probably loyalty or something like that due to being tamed.

"The circumstances are as you can see.... If you think about it, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to go out in public to transfer it. This forest of Trento is quite large, and it's not strange to move anywhere"

"Right. … but so far it's moving to the Trento Forest, but it's definitely not necessarily moving to the Trento Forest."

"With Seto, you can see the signs of metastasis."

To Marina's words, Elaine goes on to say so.

In fact Seto was strongly persuasive because he had sensed that Lorolnora and Zozo and the others were transferring.

(I mean, did these Lizardmans transfer while I was in the Guild? The question is, did Lorolnora transfer at the same time as the green subpeople she took in the carriage, or at a different time?)

Think timingly, and perhaps concurrently, Ray anticipates.

It wasn't something that proved anything in particular, it was a judgment by mistake.

As we speak that way, Zozo, who could follow the other Lizardmans, comes before Ray.

Until earlier, Lizardmans were in a one-touch situation with the adventurers, but now it was in the form of following Zozo and following the Ray that Zozo was following.

"Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray"

"Uh, yeah. Okay. No, I don't know, but I know you followed those Lizardmans."

Judging by Zozo's condition and Lizardman's attitude, instruct him to head toward Zozo to the one where the carriage is located.

"I just brought the green sub, but you need to come back."

"Right. People who use carriages in guilds are going to be very busy."

"Though, it's that butler and a few of you who come in the carriage, isn't it?... Oh, but since I'm a Lizardman this time, do I have to hold on to that area as well"

The green subpeople, starting with Lorolnora, basically have a very dear personality.

That's why Dusker was also able to send a pick-up carriage without being so vigilant.

But if Lizardman is the opponent, the story will be different.

Now that we have Zozo, it's very important, but it wasn't strange when we actually fought against Zozozo and the adventurers who were protecting him earlier.

When that happens, there will be no reason to safely send out a pick-up carriage even as a dusker.

"I hope Zozo goes with me..."

Those who know a little bit about Zozo's attitude towards Ray would understand that Marina squeaks like that while watching Zozo, but probably can't ask for it.

"When that happens, won't Ray have to go with us?

"... will it"

As for Ray, I'd rather not travel in a carriage if I could.

Why don't you just use the seto cage and carry them all together? There was no reason not to have the idea, but there was the question of how to get a decently speechless opponent into a ceto cage, and other than that, there was concern that the ceto cage would be broken during the few minutes he traveled in the ceto cage.

If so, if you travel in a carriage with Zozo so that you don't have any trouble but bigger than that... I just thought so and notice that the Lizardmans are all kneeling toward Elaine and Yellow.

"Uh... yeah. With that said, there was something like this. No, it wasn't just Zozo, it was the other Lizard Man?... Is that it? But in the Lords' Hall..."

Seeing the kneeling Lizardmans, Ray remembers what happened in the Lords' Hall.

Yello wasn't there because he was playing with Seto, but Elaine should have been there.

If so, wouldn't it have been strange then for the Lizardmans to kneel just as they do now?

(If so, maybe it's different around there depending on the type of Lizardman? No, but why would a Lizardman from Zozo's unit...)

In the meantime, I decide that there would be no point in thinking about that area at this point, and I reckon Zozo should just listen when he learns the words.

"As far as this goes, I feel like Elaine and Yellow would be fine..."

"That's right, but you should stop it."

Marina immediately denies Ray's words.

Why? It was Ray who only questioned me for a moment, but I immediately understand what that means.

Because Elaine is only here in the Guild as an aristocrat.

Asking Elaine to work like that is likely to be a lot of trouble later.

... In fact, Ray has asked Elaine for a lot of things, but that's just personal.

In contrast, it is not surprising that this case is considered a public job.

This means that Dusker will owe Elaine... more importantly, the neutrals will owe him against the aristocrats.

It's not that much of a fuss, but it's still an unmistakable fact that there are those who see it that way, and there are those who think.

That's why the marina stopped it.

I'm pretty sure there are people out there who care about it because they're aristocrats, even if people like Dusker, Elaine, and the Duke of Kelevel don't care.

That's not surprising that there are those who are so impending to be neutral nobles - other than Dusker - just because they are aristocrats, while allowing some accommodation beyond what they owe in this case.

No, even for the Duke of Kelp, there is no denying the possibility that even the Duke of Kelp will come up with some kind of hand, beyond making a connection in the sense that it is factionally very large, such as the special ability of the Lorolnoras to grow the plants that they have and their contact with the Lizardman, who even form the country.

Normally, it's highly unlikely that we would do such an imitation, but this one incident is such that it's not surprising if such a thing happens.

That's why Dusker also needed to carry things carefully, and in that sense it was Marina's contention that it was better to avoid it as much as possible to leave it to Elaine and Yellow to carry Lizardman, as Ray put it.

As for Ray, who unfortunately knows what that means, we need to respect Marina's opinion.

"I understand what Ray and Marina are talking about, but don't you have to bother doing that in front of me?

That's what Elaine asks, listening to the conversation now, with some grumbling.

But the marina is in Elaine's words, isn't it? And he even laughed and tilted his neck.

"Even for Elaine, this is a big thing, isn't it? If so, I don't think what I'm saying is so strange."

"I won't deny that."

To Marina's words, Elaine returns it so briefly.

It was Ray watching the two of them interacting like that, but eventually he opens his mouth like he had no choice.

"Okay. Then I'll send Lizardman with Zozo. I'm pretty sure that's the only way in the end.... I wish there was a disposable ceto cage or something that could be broken"

It was a troublesome grunting ray, but Seto cage is definitely a pretty expensive substitute for what it is.

It would be impossible to make something similar... that could also be disposable.

"You can't do that. However, if it's okay to dispose of it, isn't that the way to make something like a box out of a tree and carry someone or something in it? But if you make it right, it could break down in the air."

Ray, told by the marina, imagined the sight… for now, he chose to travel in a carriage for the most part.
