Legend

"Heh, so many giant deer out there? … there have always been quite a few animals and monsters in the Trent Forest, but considering that, I think they've become dangerous all at once."

The marina says as surprised as she eats a dish made of deer meat given as a souvenir.

Dark elves are the only marinas that are naturally familiar.

So, huge...... that would surprise you as a matter of course if you were told a deer the size of Seto showed up.

Most of all, no matter how big it is out of standard, it's not a monster or anything in the end, it's just an animal.

It was only natural that it would be edible like this at the time of the encounter with Seto.

"Deer"

Gaga squeaks as she eats the dish, so-called spare ribs, baked in a kettle of salt and spices hanging magic items, with a hand grasp, looking delicious.

The moment I put it out in my mouth with the deer, I thought for a moment I might even say something about the tan, but fortunately, he's too busy eating spare ribs to afford that.

"If it's true, the deer ribs are fatter"

"Really?

"Yeah. So once you boil it and drain the fat before you cook it, you can eat it deliciously.... It's just that this deer has fat but only moderate fat. That's why I cooked it with spices and salt."

"Mmm!"

To explain the marina, Büne, who was eating spare ribs to make sure Gaga didn't beat him, screams briefly.

"You don't have to throw away such delicious fat, let's not"

As usual, Vihella interprets, but the content was a little unexpected for Ray as well.

(Normally, cook as healthy as you can...... no well, is there a woman in here who looks good with the word normal)

With that in mind, Ray also reaches out to the spare ribs again.

When you grab the bone and bite the meat for how it was treated down, the meat lightly comes off the bone.

That may make it easier for the meat to leave the bone once it is boiled down, but this spare rib has not been treated as such.

That would mean something else... Ray didn't know the area.

"Yeah, this is delicious. Maybe Seto got it for me, which is why it seems delicious. … I prefer this to the dishes served at bad aristocratic parties and dinner parties"

It is very strongly uncomfortable that Elaine, with the alias of General Princess, grabs and eats the spare ribs directly by hand.

But he didn't care, he enjoyed the flavor of spare ribs enough.

"So, there was nothing else today? I know the deer came out.... like a Lizardman as strong as Gaga is transferring"

"I'm sorry about Vihera, but you didn't have a metastasis. Maybe, but I don't know if it's magic or anything to transfer the tower of birth, but I think it's something that's healing too much."

While savoring the spare rib, Ray returns it to Vihera so.

Gaga turns her gaze to Vihera for a moment with her name out, but soon returns to Spare Rib again.

(You seem to like the spare ribs a lot.... It's true that it's delicious. Zozo liked fish, but isn't it true that all Lizardmans like fish?... Even humans like different foods personally, and naturally if you think about that area)

I thought so, Ray, but the amount of meat I brought as a souvenir is never too high.

No, normally this number is somewhat satisfactory, but there are more eaters here than normal.

As a result, the venison meat Ray brought is quickly gone as well.

"Mmm!

It was Beaune who leaked his dissatisfaction that venison was gone.

If you try to be Büne, Ray, Seto, and Gaga had a good meat of deer at noon today, so at dinner they would be claiming that they could have given themselves more meat... no, they would have given themselves more meat.

Ray, who heard it in Vihera's interpreter, softly strays his gaze.

Sometimes Gaga ate well, and I can't deny that he was caught by it.

If so, the next time Seto gets his prey, he thinks so, trying to feed Büne well.

Nevertheless, the Rays are not going hunting apart, they are only escorts.

If we were to acquire deer species, that would be about the time Seto ran into them by chance.

... But again this afternoon Seto was walking around in the Trent woods with Lizardman's kid on his back, but he never encountered prey like he did in the morning.

Because there were so many giant deer, other animals could not live in the Trento Forest so easily, and if they could live, they would usually escape if they could detect the signs of Seto.

When I ran into Seto, I didn't run away, but on the contrary, that deer that ran into me from the front was an anomaly.

It is a deer the size of a three m long ceto.

It's not a carnivore, but with its giant and splendid horns, that would not have been so hard to beat the animals and monsters around it.

So I thought I had no enemies, and when I found Seto, I did not escape, and I attacked him for vandalizing the territory, and he was fought back, and he died.

"In the meantime, if Seto encounters you, I'll bring you another souvenir, so wait for me.... Is that all right?

"... n"

To Ray's words, Büne didn't look entirely convinced, but still nods small.

Seeing that, Ray wonders if he should just ask Seto to get some prey tomorrow.

"Look, Beaune. There's very little venison left to cook, but there's more to cook. I didn't make it, but it's the dish Ray bought me, and it's all delicious."

That's what Marina tells you to divert Beaune's mind from venison, but the words aren't actually wrong.

Basically, the only thing Ray would buy from a place like a street or a dining room and store it in his misting is what he thought was delicious.

A person's taste is a thousand different things, and not all people admire the food that Ray thought was delicious, but most people find it delicious.

In that sense, the face of this long time hanging out with Ray - except Gaga - doesn't think Ray's dishes are unsavory.

"Mmm."

I guess that's why Beaune also snorted honestly at the marina's words.

To a marina stroking the head of such a beaune, Vihera asks with a fuzzy doubt.

"It's not always all that, but there was quite a bit of marina cooking, wasn't there? What's not today?

"I'm a little busy today. It was too late to come back."

That was the marina I would tell you, but in fact the marina was already in the house when Vihella returned.

I didn't care about Vihera because that's the usual thing, but if you ask me, I never looked more tired than my usual marina.

"I see. But I'm busy. Anything wrong? I'm not saying there weren't any fights, but there wasn't a lot of fights."

The requests Vihera and Bühne are making are all around the city.

A lot of people are just bloody gathered in the additions, and naturally there will be a lot of brawling.

It was Vihera's main job to stop it.

... In fact, I have a lot of other things to do besides stop brawling, guide people who are lost, stop trying to fool people who don't know anything.

In that, Vihera's main task was to arbitrate fights.

Vihera, dressed like a like-healthy beauty and a whore or dancer, is often the cause of the commotion, but she doesn't care about it at all.

Either way, it would have been in my ear if there had been a commotion that would have kept me busy treating marinas just looking around the city like that.

But even though no such story has been told to Vihera, Marina says she has been busy for some reason.

"When that happens, it was also an accident at the site where the additions are being made?

"If you're looking around the city, if there's a big accident like that, why don't you even go into Vihella's ear?

"Not really. Sometimes I can't hear you at all in some places."

Vihera answers Ray's question lightly.

Ray didn't even know if it was true or if you were worried.

I didn't feel the need to pursue it in particular either, so I didn't say anything more.

Instead, ask why Marina was busy.

"So, was there an accident or something?

"Well...... right. I suppose I could call it an accident, but I guess I'd rather describe it as a brawl than that."

"Brawl?"

The first person to react to that word was still Vihera.

But to such a vihella, Elaine opens her mouth, having listened to her in silence until now.

"Brawling isn't the brawl that Vihella expects, even if it's brawling. … although it is a brawl in that the craftsmen beat each other"

"Oh, how does Elaine know?

"We talked about this during our meeting with the nobles. … Caused by Trent Forest"

If they say Trent Forest, there...... Ray, who was escorting me in a birthday tower that is precisely adjacent to Trent Forest, can't possibly care less.

"Uh, what do you mean?

"Simply put, it's a timber takeover of the remaining Trent Forest."

"Uh... yeah. Well, I guess so."

Originally, Trento Forest timber was used on a large scale in the construction of the Guild.

That's one of the birthtowers that stopped logging yesterday.

Even though there were so many simultaneous construction additions going on, and even though the timber was in a state of scarcity, suddenly the logging was no longer taking place, each tried to secure as much timber as possible, and as a result there were others who thought the same thing, and if such people met... it wouldn't be strange to be a brawl.

And if you brawl, this also means that you are naturally injured again and come to the treatment center where the marina is...

"The logging was stopped only today, right? Nonetheless, is that going to happen?

"I know what Ray's trying to say, but I guess it's big in this case that he was still feeling short on building materials"

"I know we're going to be short, but it's not like we're going to lose more building materials than we can do anymore, is it?

"Right. But according to what I've heard, there's only a little room. That's why we want to make sure we have enough for ourselves."

"... I wish I had done some logging today"

To Elaine's words, Ray squeals so.

The place where the tower of birth has been transferred is next to the forest of Trent.

I mean, it wasn't a hard story to do a tree felling if Ray cared about it.

Nevertheless, trees are only about one direction, although they also have a slight windproof forestry role, as well as a barrier against monsters, animals and, above all, raiders like mercenaries who have attacked before.

(No, considering enemies are hiding and approaching rather than walls, should trees around the tower of birth be cut clean after all?

I can't even see enemies approaching me when there are trees.

It was true that it was a very troublesome situation for those who were escorting the tower of birth.

If so, isn't it still easier to cut all the trees around the tower of birth and look out for them as an escort?

The trees that have been harvested will be treated magically if given to the alchemists, and the lack of building materials will be resolved.

Originally, Trent's woodland logging had been entrusted to Ray, not Ray, because Ray had a lot of other work to do.

That is why Ray, with Seto's mobility and mistering, becomes a force of war in various places in the additions.

That's why the logging of trees was entrusted to the jaws, a job that could be done even if it wasn't Ray.

But now Ray is basically free more than he's been tasked with escorting the tower of birth.

If so, can we use that free time to felling the trees?

(Right. Why don't you ask at the guild tomorrow? Even as a guild, it will be difficult to delay the construction of additional buildings.... that would mean taking away my job)

If you can't, let's think about something again.

Judging so, Ray continues the conversation.

"Craftsmen brawling with each other? That would have looked a lot like it."

"You know what, Ray? I'm telling you, it's not that funny, is it? Craftsmen may be more physically trained than normal, but a lot of people are used to fights.... though, as much as those people contend, it's a matter of lack of building materials"

Ha, and watching the marina sigh depressingly, Ray took it out of the mistering, and gave it the cold fruit.
