Legend

"This is, again..."

The Rays, who returned to Gilm with the newly transferred Lizardman, naturally headed straight for the Lords' Hall.

Originally, it was definitely best to let them know first that a new Lizardman had arrived and then wait for the carriage to pick them up.

However, it was slightly cramped when the troupe and adventurers took the carriage that traveled to the Trento Forest, but they still succeeded in putting everyone on the two carriages.

Because of this, the number of carriages currently in the Trento Forest is low, so it was necessary to send additional carriages over immediately.

"In the meantime, I don't think there's anything like these guys getting busted because of Zozo, but do you mind if I leave them here?

"Ah, oh. Do that."

If you don't mind or not, of course you should.

It was Dusker's honest feeling that he didn't want the number of Lizardmans to increase any more if he could.

But there is no alternative to not taking on any other Lizard Man than already accepting any other Lizard Man who has metastasized with Zozo.

No, it's not that we couldn't even imitate that if we couldn't, but if that happens, we need to keep the Lizardmans somewhere else.

If that happened, there was a good chance that information about the Lizardmans would be leaked.

As a dusker who wants to keep as much information as possible about the Zozos as well as the Lorolnoras, the option of keeping the Lizardman elsewhere does not exist.

Fortunately, the Lords' Hall is quite large, so for once, there's nothing like trouble with a place to let the Lizardmans live.

"I'll let Zozo guide you, but where do I go?

"Just give me a minute.... For once I'd like to ask, can I assume that the newly transferred Lizardmans are close to the Lizardmans who transferred yesterday?

"That's... what do you think? However, I was following Zozo, so I'm probably okay with it."

As far as Zozo and the Lizardmans in the Trent Forest were concerned, it seemed to Ray that the Lizardmans would never disobey Zozo's orders.

To Ray's words, Dusker shows only a little relief.

"Right. If that's what Ray says, you can trust me."

"Uh... well, I think it's a little dangerous to be totally trusted, so I thought I'd be ready to deal with it right away when something happens"

"That's natural. Even this one, I don't want you to imitate the likes of Lizardmans going wild in this building. If anything really happens, I'm ready to deal with it right away."

There are many knights and soldiers in the Lords' Hall.

If Lizardman stormed out for any reason, there was no doubt he could handle it.

Nevertheless, I am certain that that would not be the case if I could, and it would be honest to ask you to give me a break that there will be a massive battle in your mansion, even as a dusker.

"In the meantime, I'll tell Zozo to make sure the Lizardmans don't make a scene."

"Do that. When this happens, I want the Lizardmans to remember what they're saying."

Whether we ask for any information from the Lizardmans or give any instructions, it hurts so much that we don't understand each other's words.

Dusker's position was that it was only natural that he wanted the Lizardmans to learn the words as soon as possible from the bottom of their minds.

"Hmm...... do you have any magic items? Even if we don't have to go through words, there are magic items like being able to confirm each other's will, reading their minds, and communicating what they think directly into their heads."

"If I did, I'd already be using it."

To Ray's words, Dusker exhales his words with a sigh.

In fact, with such magic items, it was Dusker's desire to buy them now, even by paying for light gold coins.

Whatever you do, it doesn't make sense if you can't communicate well anyway.

"That's right.... Oh, but just in case, why don't you ask the alchemists? Perhaps I've completely forgotten that I made a similar magic item."

"Right. I think it's unlikely, but is it better than not doing anything?"

Yes, when Dusker said it, Zozo, who was waiting a little further away, approached Ray.

By the way, there are two of us right now, not the office where Dusker always works... but that's the room that leaves the door open.

For Ray and Dusker, the room I tried to use for the time being because it was just right for us to talk.

"Ray ● ●,"

"Oh, please"

"... Ray, didn't that zozozo say your name now?

Dasker, who sharply hears Ray's name coming out of Zozo's mouth, turns a surprise gaze at Ray.

But in terms of Ray's name, Zozo had already been able to say it as of yesterday, so even if he was surprised now there... Ray thinks.

More than that, Ningro wants me to be surprised by the words I taught in the Trent Forest.

Besides, Zozo hasn't spoken the word in public yet, so I guess it's more impossible to be surprised.

"Right. Zozo is tamed by me for some reason, so I can't study with any other Lizard Man. So it feels like we're teaching Zozo a lot together, so is that the result? Maybe Zozo's smarter than the rest of the Lizard Man."

Zozo is different from a normal Lizardman from the outside.

If so, no wonder intelligence is also higher than other Lizardmans.

It wasn't surprising that Ray remembered his actions against Elaine and Yellow and his more than Lizardman existence about races like games, comics, and dragon neuts he saw in cartoons when he was in Japan.

In a conversation between Ray and Dusker, you must have noticed even though your name came up.

Zozo turns his gaze at Ray, like what's wrong with him.

Ray shakes his head saying it's nothing to it and asks Zozo to move the Lizardman he brought in.

... although I can barely understand the words, so it was a mixed gesture.

Nevertheless, there are times when Zozo is still learning some words, although gestures are considerably less than before.

To be precise, I know you've learned the words, but I guess I'm starting to know what you're talking about while I'm talking to Ray...

For God's sake, Ray and Zozo have spent a lot of time together since we met.

Zozo has also always been attentive to Ray's words and actions since he began to follow Ray.

Even if I don't understand the language, I guess I'm starting to be able to communicate some degree of will.

Only that Zozo can understand Ray's will to some extent, not that Ray can understand Zozo's will.

Either way, Zozo, who thanked Ray, left, but Fu Ray realizes Zozo had only thanked himself.

We should have thanked Dusker, not just Ray.

"Sorry about that."

"Yeah? What?

"Zozo just kept his head down on me."

"Oh, that's the thing. You don't have to worry about that. Only because Zozo is a monster Tamed by Ray."

In the sense of being taemed, Zozo will be treated the same as Seto.

That Ceto doesn't imitate things like bowing his head or anything just because he sees Dusker otherwise.

Then Zozo, who is treated the same way, also has no problem without having to do things like bow his head to Dusker.

Ray thanks Dusker for saying so.

"Thank you"

"You don't have to worry about it. It would have been quite a hassle without Ray this time."

"... you can't deny that."

Though I answer that, in fact, if I become an adventurer with enough strength to beat Zozo without me, there are a ton of them in the Guild.

If Ray hadn't been here, someone would have knocked Zozozo out eventually.

Most of all, the adventurers that Zozo was in when he transferred were not all that strong, and without Ray, there would have been a lot of damage.

"Whatever. Regards, Zozo and the others. Was it Lord Elaine or Yellow? I guess I miss you there, too, huh?

"I mean, I miss you... I respect you? Sounds like it."

From what I saw, he looked like he had a strong respect for the dragon.

For that matter, although I doubt Ray was equipped with a dragon robe and yet he didn't seem to care about the area.

(Does it have to be a dragon in the sense that it's alive? Elaine lives by inheriting the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone, and Needless to say, the Yellow. By comparison, my dragon robe is completely dead and turned into a material)

If you think so, you can also be convinced.

In the first place, the dragon robe used by Ray is made of a variety of workmanship on the leather of the dragon that became the material.

Beyond that, I guess I was lucky that Ningro Zozo was still unable to turn his anger on him as he wore gear made from materials from dragons he believed in or loved.

"You respect me.... Well, fine. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I followed yesterday and still came today. It's not just Lorolnora's people, it's Zozo's people. If that happens, it could continue to come"

"It's... I thought it was likely"

Yesterday, there is by no means any chance that it will be transferred again tomorrow than it has been transferred continuously with today.

No, Ning Lo. That would be more likely.

If so, it was only natural to try to fit it and be prepared.

"At least it would be easier if only the Lololnora people would transfer."

Lorolnora's companions have a lot of essentially serene personalities.

At least that's what Ray has been dealing with, Lorolnora and his people.

Even if I say that I have a calm personality, personal differences naturally exist, and some of them look at the Rays with alarming gaze.

Still, not as belligerent as the Lizardmans were definitely easier to do as those who dealt with them.

"Right. Nevertheless, if those Lizardmans also think of themselves as those who belong to the country, they are certainly worthy."

That it was founded by a green subhuman with the ability to grow plants and a Lizardman who would not otherwise have the intelligence to be able to build a country.

Both of them were important to Dusker.

Nevertheless, it is the Lorolnora and the others who have a major interest in the short term.

"Well, let's just take this one thing for now... Next thing you know, you're gonna let your guys deal with you when something happens, but no problem, huh?

"Okay."

Ray nods honestly at Dusker's words.

In fact, it's easy to predict that Dusker is very busy.

Apart from the work that we have been doing from time to time, there is a pile of work related to the additional construction work being carried out in Gilm, where there are the problems of Lorolnora and Zozo and others who have moved further into the Trento Forest.

It was obvious that the workload was more than specifically imaginable in Ray.

That's enough to make me wonder if Dusker has time to take his time off doing the job.

(I'm not the only one busy right now. Regardless of the cases of Lorolnora and Zozo and others, the matter of the additional construction is a public utility that does it on an annual basis)

While slightly worried about Dusker's health, Ray drops off Dusker leaving the scene.

In the end, all I can do for the current Ray is make sure he doesn't add any more Dusker work.

Nevertheless, Ray understands that he is in a physical condition that attracts trouble.

Speaking of what I can do like that, that would be the quickest possible solution when something goes wrong.

Either way, Ray walks away from the spot wondering if he's going to see how the Lizardmans are doing on one of those issues.

Because that's all I could think of if I tried it on Ray, which would be a way to lighten up Dusker's burden a little bit with what I can do right now.

Although Ray wasn't sure how useful that actually was to Dusker either.
