Legend

The place where the Ray line came along with Dasker and other men was a large hall where a large party would be held inside the Lords' Hall.

Currently, green people and Lizardmans live together there.

Lizardman, who originally oppressed the green people, and the green people, who were oppressed.

Normally, it's not very good, but it can't be a good life together.

But in fact, the life was going better than I expected.

The Greens have a basically calm personality and do not imitate resentment of the Lizardmans who oppressed them.

The Lizardmans were also forbidden to harm the Greens by order from Zozo.

If Zozo's brother Taruzah, or ignored Zozo's orders, he could have led the other Lizardmans to attack the Greens and even the Duskers.

But Zaza, who lost to Zozo and was tied with a rope, is now in a dungeon.

I knew I was equal to Zozo, so now the rope is unraveled... but fortunately, I didn't imitate that it would be pointless to reveal whether losing to Zozo worked or just now I'm looking at a chance.

For that reason, there is now a strangely convenient time in the Great Hall, and the Greens and Lizardmans were studying the words and letters of this world.

That's where the Rays came in, so there's no reason to be surprised by the lecturers, the greens, and the Lizardmans.

"Master Dusker, what the hell are you doing here?

The most amazing of all, and while I was there, the first thing I returned to me was one of the men in the role of instructor.

The oldest of the lecturers...... the man in his fifties has known about Dusker for quite some time.

That's why I guess even if Dusker acted abruptly, he could have handled it right away.

"No, Ray's master has prepared some magic items to help with this one. When I used it, I could communicate with Zozo."

"Oh."

Everyone who was on this occasion as an instructor leaks a startling voice into Dusker's words, then turns his gaze to Ray and finally to Zozo.

Then, naturally, my eyes go to the tablet that Zozo holds in his hand.

"That tablet?

"That's right. This tablet will make Zozo's words a letter we can understand."

To Dusker's words, the lecturers all sound happy.

Instructors here to teach words and letters, but many of them are purely Dusker's men.

... There are also people here like tutors who teach children of people like nobles and big merchants to study, but it still means different things to teach children letters than to teach the Greens and Lizardmans words and letters.

Especially big was that the Greens and Lizardmans still had to teach from the words, even though the children already remembered the words when they taught to study.

Not to mention the first species I've ever seen, the Green Man, or the Lizard Man who normally treats me like a monster.

Naturally, even as a teaching side, I get confused.

"That, Master Dusker. Can I give it a try soon? With that tablet, I think I'll be able to make a lot of progress with my studies. Anyway, I'm mostly in the middle of nowhere."

"Wait. I came here because I had some confirmation before that. This magic item is the first person to use it… in this case it is a zozozo, but only that zozozo can be used"

"Huh? But it's a letter, right? Then you can read it normally even if you're not Zozo?

"Oh, I think so, too. That's why I came here."

If you say so, the man who was talking to Dusker also immediately understands why he came here.

I mean, I guess you wanted to experiment to see if that was true.

"Okay. Okay, please."

With that said, the man has a slightly prayerful look.

I suppose that's what you think if you can, you want the tablet to work for the others.

It is difficult to learn letters and words without first being able to communicate.

But here we are at that stage of communication.

If there is an easy way to communicate that will, there is no reason not to expect it.

Dusker also looks to Ray when he nods at the words, as he has received reports that he is taking time to teach words and letters.

"Ray, please"

"Okay.... Zozo"

As soon as he calls Zozo, who has the tablet, Zozo nods and turns his gaze to the tablet.

"If you understand my words, raise your right hand."

To that word, Zozo raises his right hand honestly.

"Oh."

Surprise comes from those who watched that Ray's words are well understood.

"Here's the thing.... Then Ray, next tell me to give that tablet to the others. Right, Lololnora."

Lololnora's name came out of Dusker's mouth here, probably because Lololnora is still in a position to represent the Greens.

It was caused by my first contact with Ray, but I have no particular problem so far, as neither Lorolnora herself nor her reluctance to be treated as a delegate.

Ray didn't even know why he didn't tell Lizardman to give it to him.

"Zozo, give that tablet to Lorolnora"

Having understood what Ray was saying in the letters on the tablet, Zozo approaches Lorolnora, a little further away.

Strangely enough, neither Lorolnora nor any of the other green sub-people seemed wary of Zozo approaching.

Even though the Lizardmans were given enough wounds to call them serious injuries...

Is this from your personality as a green person, including Lorolnora, or did you simply decide that Zozo had no problem because he was following Ray?

Ray didn't even know what was going on around there, but I'm pretty sure it's easy not to bother with that one.

Zozo is still teaching Lorolnora how to use the tablet in a language that Ray can barely understand.

But naturally, the conversation went through between Zozo and Lololnora, and Lololnora took the stone slab she was given and turned her gaze to Ray.

If you were to check the effect of the stone slab otherwise, you wouldn't have had to be Ray.

But for Lorolnora, that's what Ray decided he deserved.

Ray, who understood it, nodded small and opened his teasing mouth.

"If you understand what I'm saying, move aside."

Letters appear on the tablet at the same time Ray tells them, but Lorolnora, who sees it, just tilts her neck.

What? And not just Ray, who was watching it, but even the others all look at Lorolnora wonderfully.

Ray also wondered again and saw the tablet he had when he approached Lorolnora.

Ray doesn't exactly understand the characters displayed there.

Still, it was understandable that Zozo had the same letters that were displayed when he was using the tablet.

I mean, it would be weird if Lololnora, who uses the same letters and the same words as Zozo, couldn't read this letter if she wasn't supposed to.

Even so, Lorolnora has the expression that she can't read the letter at all.

That's not a lie or anything because of the other Lololnoras around... and it's obvious to see how the Lizardmans have come together.

"Zozo."

Ray briefly tells.

Zozo, too, found out that Ray had read his name, so he opened his mouth when he received a stone slab from Lorolnora and glanced at it, and the words appeared on the stone slab as a sentence.

'Apparently, this letter can only be read by me. If Ray understands what you're saying, it says, "Move aside."

"... I see"

Ray's tone is what I thought it was.

Grimm told me that only one person could use it, so I should have expected this development.

"Are you sure that letter is the one used by the Zozos?

'Yes, definitely in the letters that the green people also use'

"In other words, even though it's the same letter, that letter can only be read by Zozo.... I didn't think this was the kind of thing my master said, that only the first time I used it could use it."

In Ray's words, the three of Elaine, Marina, and Vihera… Though those who know Grimm get a convincing look, others seem sorry, that's the look from the bottom of their hearts.

The only one I've tried yet is Lorolnora, but I tried this with what they originally told me I couldn't use other than Zozo, and I couldn't.

Beyond that, it was easy to predict that no one else would be able to use it.

"Maybe I can say this is... in a way, as expected..."

Dusker also exhales heavily at the exchanges that took place in front of him.

If I could use the tablet other than Zozo, I would certainly have gone dramatically with regard to the studies taking place here and now.

"Dear Dusker, did you call it that zozozo? If you can, I'd like to borrow that Lizardman."

That's what the man in the lecturer role who was talking to Dusker until earlier tells him, but Dusker shakes his head sideways without a moment of hesitation.

It was obvious that Zozo had pledged allegiance to Ray and had decided to be on his side.

If I told Zozo to stay here in this situation, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't understand.

If Ray orders it, or..., but imitates it like that, Zozo will undoubtedly be dissatisfied with Dusker.

In view of what was to come, I did not want to make my relationship with the Prince Zozo of the Grand Dragonian Empire as bad as possible.

Not to mention that Zozo's relationship with his brother Taruzaza is already at its worst.

In that situation, I don't want to imitate Zozo to the detriment of his mood.

If you really want to keep Zozo here, then that's what Zozo's serving Ray needs to stay here again.

But when green people and reservoir men frequently transfer to the Trento Forest, I want Ray, who can ride Seto and travel at high speeds, to stay in the Trento Forest as long as possible.

It was also significant that thanks to Zozo's presence, Lizardman could comply with it unconditionally - unless there was someone like Zaza.

There's nothing I can do about it because I'm sending high-ranking adventurers to Trent Forest besides Ray, but the damage Lizardman would suffer if Zozozo wasn't there... and most importantly, my heart certificate would be different.

"No. Zozo is following Ray. I can't give you any more orders than that."

'Right. Lady Ray, who beat me, became my lord. In my mood, Master Ray...... and I don't really want to follow any instructions other than Elaine, Yellow. Lady Ray's tribe...... no, did you say party. Unless it's those people.'

With the power of the tablet, I guess I understood what Dusker was talking about.

Zozo speaks something, and the words appear on the stone slab to convey Zozo's will to Dusker.

Watching such an exchange between Zozo and Dusker, Ray questions slightly the power of the tablet.

(The letters displayed on the tablet can be read by Zozo. However, the characters that Zozo's words translated, we... anyone in this world could have read them. What's this difference? After all, because Zozo is recognized as the user or owner of the tablet? Well, I'm pretty sure the use of this tablet is irregular)

Original usage… If it were used by those who cannot speak the language for any reason, would this not have happened?

Ray was slightly concerned about the area, but this made the effect of the tablet clear.

"It hurts that you can only use Zozo..."

"I know. Don't worry, I won't imitate you from Ray."

That's what Dusker, hearing Ray whine, says to make sure.

Even for Dusker, I honestly wanted to avoid imitations like buying grudges from Ray and Zozo in the current situation.

"Thank you.... So, what do you want to do today? Continue to Trento Forest or…"

Do you want to stay here and help me study?

Asking Ray so, Dusker tells him to go to the Trent Forest after a few seconds of thinking.

"With Zozo, you will progress in your studies, but your studies will not end only today. If so, you should go to the Trent Forest."

"Okay. Then you will.... What about Elaine and the others?

"I have plans to meet with some nobles"

"You'll need to treat anyone who's been injured in the construction."

"Maybe I'll go around with Beaune."

In the end, that's what happens.

... The lecturers were unfortunate.

Note that Dusker instructed him to look for the same magic items as this tablet.
