Legend

The day after I was able to communicate with Zozo... the Rays were all coming to the Dasker mansion.

Originally, Ray had to go to the Trent Forest to escort him or if something happened, but now he thought it was a top priority to tell Dusker about the tablet.

When I heard about the tablet, I naturally had the expression that Ara and Buune were not convinced of each other.

In the first place, the Rays alone locked themselves in one room, and that's how Zozo had the tablet if he realized it.

It was explained that Ray's master showed up and left the tablet, but that's why if you ask me if I can convince you with that, the answer would be no.

Still, Ara was convinced because it was what Elaine said, and Bühne succeeded in making Vihella say something.

Of course, I'm not entirely convinced by both sides.

"Is that... is that true?

I heard in the office that Zozo and I were able to communicate, and a startling voice leaked out of Dusker's mouth.

Lorolnora and the other Lizardmans have been studying words, so I guess that's why this one was a big surprise.

"Yes, my master came yesterday, so I tried to talk to him then and he lent me this magic item to use to communicate with me."

That said, Ray explains what the stone slab will be capable of.

What caught Dusker's particular interest was that he could still communicate with Zozo... in which Dusker speaks his doubts.

"We know that if Zozo uses that tablet, these words will be readable by Zozo, and Zozo's words will be readable by us. But isn't that what anyone but Zozo can use? Even Zozo and the Greens have the same words and letters."

"Around there, I was wondering, too. But Zozo and Lorenola weren't on our side."

"Okay. After this conversation, let's show you where Lorolnora and the Lizardmans are. You can actually try it there."

"If you say so, it will help."

"... Nevertheless, the Grand Dragonian Empire,"

It was a delightful dusker in one case about the tablet, but when I hear the name of the country Zozo belongs to, I get a difficult look.

The marina opens her mouth so that she makes a slight tease of such a dusker.

"Yesterday, from what I've heard, the size of the Grand Dragonian Empire falls slightly below the kingdom of Mireana."

"More info, thanks"

He was a dusker who uttered a word of gratitude for the information from the marina, but the words contained a slightly resentful emotion besides gratitude.

I didn't want to hear such a difficult story if I tried to be a dusker, something like that.

Now Gilm is very busy with the additions.

Other than that, we have already moved on about the ground ship, and we have begun to consider whether we can use the green people to grow spices and rare herbs.

In such a situation, it falls slightly more than the Kingdom of Mireana...... if you say so, it is not a good idea to engage with a country that would have almost equal national power.

But Zozo, anyway, would have been very lost as a Dusker if he'd known that Lorolnora and the others were repressed by that Grand Dragonian Empire.

Ray mouths additional information to Dusker, who is troubled that way.

"And this is what the master said, because of the circumstances of the metastasis, it is likely that he came from another world, not another continent of this world,"

"... what? otherworlds?"

Dusker asks, silent as if for a moment Ray didn't know what he was talking about, in such a way as fear.

I guess I can't help but think that Ray is confused.

But from what Dusker saw, Ray was serious, and there was nothing strange about how it was going.

Not to mention Büne eating dried fruit anyway, because the other facades haven't shown any concern for how Ray looks like that.

The only thing that makes me feel like Ara is the only one who has some doubts.

"Yes, it's a different world. Though, it's only a master's reasoning, so I can't say for sure it is."

With that said, Ray looked like Dusker, as sure as he was that the Zozos came from different worlds.

(In the first place, now... really now, when did Ray's master get here? There was a winter incident, and since it's spring, you can't go in without going through the gate.)

The dirt walls built by Ray as a cobolt measure still exist today.

If the additional construction stretches that far, it will break the dirt walls as well... but at least now, it means it can prevent anyone coming in from the outside without permission, so it's being diverted.

Not only that, but now the guards keep a close watch at night for when something happens.

... In fact, several people had already been caught trying to cross the dirt wall and secretly enter the guild.

Where did you come from in such a situation?

I thought so for a moment, Dusker, but I reckon it's not strange to be able to do that much if you consider yourself Ray's master.... No, should I take it for granted?

"A different world?... If Ray's master says so, that doesn't make any sense. Let me ask you something, is that a fact?

The marina, who was gazed at, nodded naturally.

"Right. I heard that too. Neither did Elaine and Vihera. So there's no doubt about that.... just because you suspect that, it's not confirmed, just remember that."

"Oh.... but a different world"

Dusker repeats the word different worlds again.

I guess that word means that's all that shocked Dusker.

To such a dusker, Marina speaks with sympathy.

"Look, calm down, Dusker. Depending on what you're thinking, you don't have to worry about Zozo or Lorenola."

Pickle, and.

To Marina's words, Dusker recovers only a little from his grumpy state.

"Right. If you say so, so be it. Thinking about it, isn't it a bad story to talk about the other world? … but I need to contact Wang Du more than I could possibly have transferred from another continent."

It's a disgusting look, I guess, because I still understand that one of last year's eyeballs and cobolts was the work of the Kings.

But there's no way I'm not going to report this to the King... beyond being a nobleman of the kingdom of Mireana.

Besides, given the current situation of the guild, it is not very much, but there is no reason to throw the guild out and go, and I could not report it directly.

"Good luck around there. It's the show of Gilm's arms as lord."

"... the marina who quit guild master, you can take it easy"

Dusker looking resentful and envious of the marina.

To such a dusker, Marina smiles happily from the bottom of her heart.

You're jealous, and a face that you can fully understand without having to put into words directly.

I was a dusker trying to say something to such a marina, but I understood that I couldn't beat the marina with my mouth as much as I didn't like it in my life so far.

"In the meantime, I'll leave that matter alone. Whether it's a different world or not, that's not what you'll soon find out. Now anyway, it's better to see if the tablet Zozo has really worked... and if it works for the Green Man and Lizardman as well"

To be honest, as a dusker, if the tablet could be used by others, it was honest that I wanted Lorolnora and the others to use it.

Most importantly, if it was Ray's master who lent the magic item, I can't say I can't.

Still, when something happened, it was very important to know if you could communicate well.

Even as Ray, I had heard from Grimm that basically only the first person to use the stone tablet could use it, but I have such doubts about the story in the first place, if the letters are to be displayed, that those who use the same letters can read it.

In fact, when Zozo's words appeared on the tablet, everyone in Ray, Elaine, Marina and Vihera could read them thoroughly.

… but the original tablet used by those who cannot speak is never meant to communicate with someone who is using a different language.

Because of that unexpected use, it was definitely necessary to make sure the area was as well as Ray thought.

"Okay. We want to know if that tablet works besides Zozo.... Before we do that, would you like to see if the tablet really works too, Master Dusker?

"Oh."

Even as a dusker, I guess I was going to check the effect of the tablet from the start.

Nod honestly to Ray's words.

"Okay, let me try."

After watching Dusker snort, Ray sees Zozo standing behind him and calls out.

"Zozo, from now on, Dear Dusker... Answer that because you are the lord of this guild and the greatest man here will ask you a question"

"I understand."

When the tablet translates Ray's words into a text that Zozo can understand, and Zozo who sees it utters words that Ray cannot understand, the tablet will also have a sentence that Ray and the others can read.

Nod as Dasker was impressed watching it.

Probably because I could see with my eyes how the tablet was actually used.

"Well, I see. Like this...... so you don't mind if I ask you a question?

When Ray nods at the word, Dusker opens his mouth after a few seconds of silence.

"Is there a hostile nation around the Grand Dragonian Empire?

'I do. by the Shoban and Leodemona kingdoms. Not in those two countries, but several others do not follow the Grand Dragonian Empire and have alliances with them.'

"It's, again..."

I guess Zozo's words were a little unexpected for Dusker as well.

Turn your surprise expression to Zozo.

From what I've heard now, the Grand Dragonian Empire meant that even if it was a great power, it was never the only superpower, but that there were several other comparable countries.

Besides, as far as I can hear right now, it also seems to me that there are more enemy countries.

"In that situation, can the Grand Dragonian Empire do it?

'I can't even say that without any problems… to the extent that we can cross each other. There are enemies, but there are also many friendly and dependent countries.'

In terms of the large number of dependent countries, the Kingdom of Mireana would be similar.

Still, in terms of the number of enemies, the Grand Dragonian Empire surpasses the Kingdom of Mireana.

So while we're at it, considering that the size of the Grand Dragonian Empire is roughly equivalent to that of the Kingdom of Mireana...

"Does it mean that a continent with the Grand Dragonian Empire, or another continent, is bigger than this one?

'I don't know exactly, but as far as I hear from Master Ray, it seems so'

Nooo.

Those words come out of Dusker's mouth.

Lizardman's country, so some of us felt pointless superiority that we were up there somewhere.

That is even when I hear that the Grand Dragonian Empire is a country of the same size as the Kingdom of Mireana.

"It seems, again... you're fighting within a very large continent. Are all the people of the Grand Dragonian Empire Lizardmen?

'No, mostly Lizardman, but there are other races. The Greens, if you ask me, are the people of the Grand Dragonian Empire.'

"I honestly doubt why we need to get that far against that people. Green people have the power to grow plants. If you think a little bit about how beneficial this is, you'll see."

"This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor."

To Zozo, who tells him so, Dasker questions.

Why would an emperor who has the power only to rule a country the same size as the Kingdom of Mireana imitate such a thing to the Greens?

As I said to Zozo, the green people with the power to grow plants are definitely beneficial… they are also those who bring enormous benefits.

If so, Dusker didn't know why to oppress the Greens.

"Is it more useless to ask than not being informed of the reasons around it?... Whatever, now I understand the effect of the tablet. Later, I wonder if I can use this tablet for others... but I'll have to actually try it."

That's what he said, and Dusker stood up from the couch where he was sitting.
