Day two since the zozozos metastasized.

That day, each face but Ray was back to his own work, and only Ray, Seto and Zozo headed to the Trento Forest.

Other than that, of course, there are handsome adventurers, knights and soldiers.

Yes, Ray rarely made it to the Trent Forest this morning.

So far, after some work in the city, I headed to the Trento Forest to store the felled trees in mystering, but today when something happened in the Trento Forest, I came with them so that I could deal with it immediately...

"Grr!

Where I can see Trent's Forest, Seto accidentally rings his throat.

To such Seto's attitude, Ray, who was on Seto's back - difficult to get on the carriage due to the influence of Zozo being there - has a surprisingly unpleasant feeling.

Seto's gaze is directed at the forest of Trento.

If you look at Seto staring at you... and if you know what happened yesterday and in the Trento Forest, you can easily predict what's going on there.

"Sorry, I'm just gonna go ahead! Probably a problem in the Trent woods! Look out for me!

Shouting that to the adventurer who was nearby, Ray asks Seto to hurry.

Zozo, who was walking a little further away to such a ceto figure, hurriedly jumps on Ceto's back and behind Ray.

Even if I didn't understand the language, I guess I could understand rushing to the Trent Forest because of Ray and Seto's condition.

Ray shows only a little admiration for such a high degree of Zozo judgment.

but now we decide that we should make it our top priority to head to the Trent Forest a little faster than that, and tap lightly with the meaning of asking for the back of Seto's neck.

To such Ray's attitude, Seto runs right out.

Because it was a situation where Trent's Forest was already visible, or we approach it while we look at it.

If we approach the Trento Forest in that way, we will gradually understand why Seto cared about the Trento Forest.

(Blood stinks)

Ray, who is inferior to Seto but still has a far sharper five senses than a normal human being, finds the smell of blood drifting from the forest of Trento.

(Who's being attacked? Normally, I guess that's what it's like to have a guy accidentally in the Trent woods being attacked by a monster... because there's something about the Zozos)

Even while he thinks about it, Seto runs toward the Trento Forest.

Eventually, we went into the forest of Trent, where Ray saw...

"It's troublesome!

Ray struck his tongue because the sight was spreading there as expected.

Nearly twenty green sub-people gather in one place, surrounded by Lizardman, naturally.

The intense smell of blood that drifts naturally comes from the green sub-people.

I've seen similar sights before, so I immediately understood the situation.

The only thing that was different about that...

"I see."

What was ahead of Ray's gaze was a being with a greater body than any other Lizardman.

In other words, he's a Lizardman just like Zozo, clearly different from a normal Lizardman, a being that seems to be a rare or superior species.

"Ray, Ray, Ray?

When Zozo, who was behind Ray, sees what appears to be his kind, he speaks to Ray.

I heard such a zozozo voice... instead of simply noticing Seto approaching, the green sub-men and Lizardmans turned their gaze to the Rays and were surprised.

Is that because there was Seto, who was three meters long, or because there was Zozo?

Together, the Lizardmans expose their vigilance against Ray and Seto, the newly emerged, apparently stranger.

●●●●●

and Lizardman screams something in it that seems to be the same kind as Zozo.

I didn't understand the meaning of the word, but seeing the surrounding Lizardmans recover from the upset, I'm pretty sure that was the word of scolding right now.

(In the meantime, as far as this goes, I'm pretty sure these Lizardmans are belligerent over here. That, too, is going to be troublesome when you have a Lizardman of the same rank as Zozo)

Understand how the new Lizardmans at the end of their gaze make Ray wish he didn't have to be a hassle, but that it was a wish that would never come true.

Because the same Lizardman as Zozo came towards me.

It's like, you know, it's like I saw it somewhere.

But Ray doesn't know if it's okay to attack Lizardman, who's approaching us.

Attacking itself is not that strange a story.

But if you defeat a new Lizardman here. I'm not saying that that Lizardman will also be as submissive as Zozo - because the words don't make sense, I show them with attitude - not necessarily.

What can we do in this situation to prevent it from happening?

If you're lost in that, you felt such a ray stray, Zozo leaves a step back.

That's what keeps Ray and the approaching Lizardman from getting in the way.

● ● ● ●●●●●●

● ● ●●●●

Asked about something, Zozo nods without a moment of hesitation and returns the words.

The other Lizardman is huge and exhales at how such a zozozo looks.

That's like saying I don't understand your thoughts.

(No, maybe you really understand that like that)

Even from Ray's point of view, the other Lizardman looks at himself with an insult.

That's as if it was also a re-bake when Ray first met Zozo.

And Ray's understanding, naturally, meant that Zozo could also understand what attitude the Lizardman in front of him was taking.

●●●●

Zozo is beaten toward the Lizardman in front of him as he raises his angry caged voice.

I guess I didn't pull out my hips long sword because I understood that the Lizardman in front of me was one of my own.

Zozo's unleashed fist strikes his opponent Lizardman in the face without hesitation and blows it away.

... As far as Ray can tell, obviously Zozo's move to hit his opponent was better than yesterday's.

Is that the result of the simulated battle against Vihella, which took place yesterday and this morning as well?

In the simulated battle with Vihella, he was a zozozo who was unilaterally hit with some difference in strength, but still has something to gain, and I guess that's the blow now.

Because the blow was actually sharp and the battered Lizardman was blown away without being able to avoid it.

Nevertheless, the current blow steals the opponent's combat power... it cannot stun him or inflict a powerful blow enough to take away his willingness to fight.

●●●●●●

The battered Lizardman gets up momentarily from falling to the ground using the power of his tail with exasperated and angry screams, and he goes straight to beat Zozozo.

Because Zozo didn't get the weapon, that Lizardman also challenged the battle with his bare hands, not with the weapon.

That's where it started, a pure beating.

Nevertheless, that battle will always go in Zozo's favor.

Sometimes the first hit was working, and other than that, even in just a few days, Zozo is in a mock fight with strong men like Ray and Vihera.

Even if that's all the difference, the simulated battle against those who are more overwhelming than Zozo was definitely stretching Zozo's strength.

It will also be true that it has become a great deal of confidence for Zozo that he has obeyed Ray.

In the end, it was Zozo who stood after a few minutes of beating as it were, and it was the other Lizardman who fell to the ground.

Zozo has also been beaten and injured to some extent, but the result was a win-win plethora worthy of calling it an overwhelming victory.

"Zozo, well done. Lolol, I want to treat Nola's people, so hold the others back."

Looks like he didn't get all Ray's words, but still Zozo nods understanding what he's trying to do out of Ray's personality and turns his gaze of restraint to the Lizardmans around him.

(Well, even if these Lizardmans behave strangely, the others will be here soon. Plus, there's Seto)

It was only a few minutes before Zozo was fighting Lizardman, but with all that time, it wouldn't be strange if the faces that were on the carriage to Trento Forest arrived.

... No, it would be strange if Ningro hadn't arrived.

As a matter of fact, I saw how Ray was doing and decided something dangerous was going on in the Trento Forest, and since I was lowering my guard adventurers and then headed to the Trento Forest, I hadn't arrived yet.

Either way, thanks to Zozo's defeat of a matched opponent who was leading the Lizardmans, there's nothing like Ray getting close to the Green Subhumans to do anything in particular.

It was obvious from the attitude that Zozo was following Ray, and above all that there was Seto on Ray's side.

And the green sub-people stare at Ray as he approaches them.

The colour of terror does not exist in that gaze because the name of our own companion, Lorolnora, came out of Ray's mouth earlier?

Approaching the green sub-people, the iron rust odor that was drifting all the way out of the Trento forest becomes darker.

No one was wounded to the point of fatal injury, but still many suffer fairly deep wounds and shed green blood.

(Even green blood smells the same)

Again with the doubts he felt before, Ray takes the potion out of the mistering.

I could have waited until the knights arrived, but now that I was on my side to these green sub-people, it was better to show them so.

Either way, I'm taking the same Zozozo as the Lizardman who attacked these green sub-men until earlier, so you might think the green sub-men are the enemy of Ray.

... With Zozo fighting, it was possible that he might consider himself an ally, but he needed to clearly show himself to be an ally now anyway.

● ● ●

A green sub who looks at Ray's put out potion and squeaks wonderfully.

So did the Lorolnoras, but I guess they still don't know what a potion is.

Grab the arm of the green sub who was nearby so as to show it to the green sub who are looking at themselves with doubt.

He was a green sub who was surprised when he was suddenly grabbed by his arm, but the sub reacted more than that... before he was forced to do things like wave off his hand, Ray hangs the potion on a green sub's wound... probably a wound made of a long sword and a place of thought.

"Huh!?

A green subhuman screaming at Ray's behavior.

I wouldn't be surprised if I could suddenly hang unobtrusive liquids on my wound.

Other green sub-people who were watching what was going on around them also try to take some action on their fellow voices.

They're basically green sub people who don't mean to fight, but that's not why they don't think what happens to their people.

You don't have to do the kind of imitation that attacks Ray, but you can normally do it as long as you stop your buddies from doing odd imitations.

... The person who is following Lizardman, who defeated the Lizardman who was attacking them, is not the person who is supposed to be very, but who might try to defy them.

However, before actually taking action, a green subhuman using potion notices an anomaly in his wound.

The wound is healing.

That can be said to be a different feeling for a green sub who does not know the existence of a potion.

Still, the pain fades, so it would be natural for a green sub using potion to cease to speak out in surprise.

I naturally notice the other green sub people around me looking like that.

The green sub-people who were trying to stop Ray noticed how the green sub-people used the potion looked and stop moving.

And when I saw the wound healing because I saw it, I turned a flashing look on Ray.

Ray likewise uses the potion on the wounds of other green sub-people, as well, if the opponent has stopped moving.

Naturally the effect so far is remarkable because this potion is quite a luxury item.

(Well, I mean, I helped the green sub-people, so I hope you get a potion from Master Dusker later)

This is what Ray thinks because he actually got a replacement potion from Dusker for the first Lololnora and the others he came into contact with.

That too, from my pride as lord of the guilm… and above all from my gratitude for dealing appropriately with the green subpeople, a potion with a few steps above what I used for the Lorolnoras.

In that sense, there was no need to hesitate to use the potion here… As a result, by the time the knights and adventurers who arrived later arrived, the injuries of the green sub-people had almost been healed.
