After handing over the Greens and Lizardmans to Dusker, Ray quickly headed back to the Trent Forest.

Seeing the faces of the greens and Lizardmans already protected by Dusker, those who had just arrived at the Lords' Hall seemed relieved.

Nevertheless, as for the Green Man, it was the Lizardman who had the problem here.

If it was meant to be, maybe Zozo should lead the Lizardmans.

But Zozo followed Ray, and there was no way he could have stayed in the Lords' Hall and led Lizardman.

Only Lizardman defeated by Zozo will remain when that happens.

Nevertheless, that Lizardman is not very, but is not of a friendly character to the Green Man or the inhabitants of Gilm.

As a result, the tied Lizardman was to be kept in a dungeon unarmed.

"Hmm. Well, isn't that good as it turns out?

An adventurer who remained in the forest of Trent returns that when he hears Ray's explanation.

Ray was worried about whether or not a new Greenman and Lizardman would come out in the Trent Forest while we were gone, but fortunately, he never had a new transfer.

Besides, if it's not Seto, we can't detect any signs of metastasis, maybe it's moving somewhere in the Trento Forest, and it's quite possible that we just haven't met ourselves yet, as we did yesterday.

"Really? To be honest, I think that tied Lizard Man is going to cause a lot of trouble ahead. Losing to Zozo didn't make you obey."

Zozo follows Ray, who beat himself.

If so, that's how I thought maybe that Lizardman would follow Zozo too... unfortunately, it didn't look like that at all.

Was this a trait that Zozo alone had, or do you mind losing to being of the same kind as yourself, and for another reason?

Ray didn't even know about the area, but it's nonetheless an unmistakable fact that that Lizardman is a troublemaker.

"If Zozo could have followed him, it would have been great."

To Ray's whining, Zozo, who was vigilant as he watched the surroundings nearby, turns his gaze.

Ray, who shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing to it, considered once again the current situation in Guilm.

I'm still working it out now.

But that's only for now.

And the biggest reason it's working out would still be the presence of Ray and Seto up.

If so, what happens if Ray is gone?

Of course, Guild has quite a few strong ones if only strength.

But I was able to be friendly with the green people because it was only Ray.

... If you were asked if you could never have had a friendly relationship with the Lorolnoras if you weren't Ray, the answer would be no.

Still, in Ray's case, he actually behaved amicably with Lorolnora and the others, and followed Zozo, who was perhaps quite a high-ranking species among the Lizardmans, as a superior or rare species.

If others were asked if they could do the same thing, the majority of the answers would be that they might.

That's why it's not so easy to find a replacement for Ray, and Ray can't leave here if the Green Man or Lizardman keep transferring like this.

(After all, isn't Gilm the only one who can do something about this? Regardless of the hostile Kings, there is Elaine because of this, to the aristocracy in friendship...... no, even if that's not possible, at least with the help of the same neutrals as Master Dusker)

With that in mind, Ray strokes Seto's head, who has rubbed his body in place.

The adventurer, who watched such a sight up close, is once again surprised by Ray's physical abilities, which do not depend on his appearance.

Ray doesn't shake at all, even though Seto, more than three meters long, rubs his body.

If you try it on Ray, it's a big reason because you're used to it.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

"Look, I get it. Anything stranger than that?

"Gru!"

It's okay! And Seto rings out to Ray's words.

Seeing one of those and one, the adventurer nods as impressed.

"No, look again, you guys are amazing."

"Really? This is normal for me."

Ray's word that this is normal is from the heart.

But that's why the adventurer who understands it turns a mixed gaze of admiration and awe.

"I think it's weird at that point that that's normal.... Well, fine. You've got a good job, so I'm not complaining about it."

"If you do that, it'll help"

It's already less in Gilm, but there are still those who judge Ray by his appearance alone.

Other than Gilm...... that is especially the trend if you go somewhere where you don't know about Ray.

There are few such people if Seto is there - somewhat yes - but if Ray is the only one, he will always be seen with such a gaze.

That's why people who say things like adventurers in front of you are naturally fond of them.... I know I'm saying this because I know Ray is Ray.

"Hey, Ray! I've got quite a few more trees cut, so collect them for me once!

When one of the crooks yells that way at Ray, Ray says small things bad to the adventurer he was talking about, and after the occasion.

"Seto play proper around here for me. If anything happens to me that metastasizes again, I just need you to tell me right away."

"Gru......"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds a little sorry for his throat.

As for Ray, Seto could have followed me, but not at all... even if that's about a few seconds away, the sooner I can detect him metastasizing.

Only a few seconds can be life-threatening because it's a real battle.

"Sorry, Seto. Uh... I'll feed you baked udon again next time."

"Gru."

Though not entirely convinced, Seto nonetheless replies that way to Ray.

I guess that's all the baked udon I sell in the stalls near where I take the tree was in Seto's taste.

I guess it's only a hassle of baking noodles, so it tastes a few steps better than it usually does.

(Didn't grilled udon topped with bonito or blue nori? There was a red shoga, too)

Originally, red shoga would be famous as a baked noodle accompaniment.

But in the baked udon made at Ray's house, the red shouga was attached as an accompaniment.

Nevertheless...... and I worry about how to prepare them as I walk through the forest of Trento with the zozozo that follows me.

(Bonito uses bonito, right? When I was in Japan, I saw a little bit of it on TV, and it was like I was boiling bonito and drying it... I think I could do this for now....... sounds like a pretty waste of bonito though. Oh, but is bonito in this world before that?... Well, you can do other fish without bonito, right?

In fact, bonito would also require such hassles as molding, but Ray didn't understand the area at all.

Anyway, I guess it's better if you still somehow but just remember how to make it.

Even if it's less, I can only tell that blue nori is a type of seaweed because it's about nori.

(Should I chop ginger and soak it in vinegar? No, but the vinegar was red because it's about red shoga. When it does, is it any special vinegar?

Zozo turns a strange glance at Ray as he walks thinking that way.

I guess I didn't know what Ray was thinking.

Though I never thought Ray would think about bonito, blue nori, or red shoga.

"This way, Ray! Sorry, but I need a little help! The logging failed!

Returning to me to the words of the Qi who was calling Ray, I understand why I was called in haste.

A felled and fallen tree is leaning against another nearby tree.

In this situation, we do not know when the tree leaning against us will fall out of balance.

With that in mind, it would be natural for you to do something about the tree as soon as possible for your safety.

"You failed."

To Ray's words, the jaws nod bitterly.

This jar is one of the jars brought from other villages by Ray.

Because of his high skill as a guild, he has come to earn money like this... I guess I had some idea that logging had failed if I told him.

Nevertheless, if we try it, we don't cut trees where we're used to, so we can't help but be completely unfamiliar with it.

According to what Ray and the others told us, the trees growing in this Trento forest have quite different characteristics than ordinary trees.

In that sense, whatever the Trent Forest tree is, I guess Ray is all kinds of special around using Death Size to cut it off lightly.

"I'm sorry. Knock this tree to the ground so we don't have any problems around us. I'll handle branches and stuff this way."

Following the instructions of such a bamboo, Ray stores the felled trees in mystering and removes them from there in the form of letting them sleep on the ground.

If I tried laying it down, I wouldn't have to store it in mysteries, but that's what I could do, push it, kick it, and knock the tree to the ground.

However, with all the adventurers around us, we decided that we shouldn't imitate them just in case.

The trees that were thus laid to the ground are immediately fitted with adventurers and twigs, and branches are dropped.

Ray and Zozo look at such a sight.

It's not that he hassled the task of dropping branches and hasn't done anything, but he was wary that the monsters wouldn't attack... and most importantly, that the Greens and Lizardmans wouldn't transfer.

The work itself does not take long because the adventurers are used to dropping branches to a certain extent.

"Ray, I'm done, so I need a tree... what's up? Hey, no way..."

When he spoke to Ray, Ray was honestly listening to it at first, but accidentally pointed that gaze towards the back of the woods.

After following Ray's gaze, the adventurers quickly moved to a position that would protect him.

"Don't worry."

But that's the word that came out of Ray's mouth.

What do you want me to feel safe about in this situation?

Though he thought so, the meaning of Ray's words turns out at the next moment.

"Bumoooooooo!"

With a roaring roar, a pig accidentally came running from the back of the Trent Forest.

Ray is relieved by the look of such a pig.

Of course, he's not the kind of person you can insult because he's a pig.

For those who operate in the woods, like pigs and hunters, a pig is someone they don't want to encounter if they can.

Not to mention the pig who showed up this time is a fairly large pig who is over a metre tall.

On top of that, there are sharp fangs growing in the mouth of that pig, with a sharpness incomparable to a rusty dagger like the one used by the goblins around it.

If an amateur encounters this pig, it's no surprise he's fatally injured.

It was definitely a pig with that much danger.

"Ray ● ●, ● ● ● ●"

When Ray tries to take the spear out of Mystering... not the spear of dusk, and that's when he tries to take out the disposable spear that's not weird when it breaks, Zozozo comes out in front of Ray like that.

I still don't know what you're talking about. I don't know, but if you still see Zozo erect a long sword pulled out of his sheath, you can easily imagine what he wants to do.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Neither did Zozo understand Ray's words, but he nevertheless came forward happy to somehow understand them in the nuances.

The pig who sees such a zozozo sticks his fangs straight up...... that's what runs faster than he ever did.

Ray had also seen pigs in the mountains several times when he was in Japan, but the pigs currently at the end of his gaze on Ray are clearly larger than the pigs Ray had ever seen.

Not to mention that its physical abilities are also above what Ray knows, and if it's Japan, it's not strange to call a hunter to do mountain hunting, like that.

But Zozo, with the long sword in his hand, goes out in front of Ray with no fear at all... and rushes out toward the pig.

Zozo's running speed is clearly more than before.

That's how the zozozo, stuffed with an intermission with the pig, flashed his long sword like a mistake... eventually the pig rolled down the ground at the same speed and hit the tree and stopped.
