Legend

One thing about the lake, fortunately… really fortunately, it is still largely unknown.

I guess it's big that the lake has metastasized right next to the tower of birth.

The faces entrusted with the escort of the Tower of Birth are gathered by the fact that they are trustworthy adventurers and do not easily divulge information.

... Nevertheless, if you go to a liquor store and get drunk, you will speak, and things like telling a sleeping story in a whorehouse are likely to happen.

Given that, it wouldn't be that far away to know about one of the lakes.

If this is the Tower of Birth, some people will be intrigued by the fact that it is a mysterious building, but there is still nothing like caring that much about it.

But if it's a lake, it's not about mysterious buildings, it's about life.

Naturally, an overwhelming number of people would be interested compared to the Tower of Birth.

In that case, there will also be information leaking about the birth tower in the collapse... there was no doubt that many would come here.

"So, can I ask what Master Dusker will do about one of the lakes?

To Ray's question, Amonai, who was in a mood swing looking at the size of the lake, returns to me in Ray's words.

It was Amonai who was blinded by the majestic lake and had completely forgotten the businessmanship here these days, but was somewhat unhappy to be recalled from such a situation.

Still, given the current situation, Amonai opens her mouth without saying such dissatisfaction.

"Right. This one is tough to hide, so you'll need to announce about this lake soon, won't you? When that happens, we also need to publish about nature and the Tower of Birth.... I just hope the Lizardmans don't feel uncomfortable"

"I think it's gonna be hard around here. That's what makes it no stranger for a guy who mistook something into battle with a Lizardman trying to get into a birthday tower"

If you try to be a Lizardman, a birth tower is a place to protect eggs and children.

If anyone tries to enter such a place without permission, it would be natural for that to be a battle.

But in this case, the problem is that it is Lizardman who is in the Tower of Birth.

Lizardman...... I mean, monsters.

Anyone who has dealt with Zozo or Gaga, starting with Ray, and to some extent knows the circumstances, can understand that Zozo or Gaga is not an ordinary Lizardman.

But if you make it someone you don't know, you'd think so why it's no good attacking a place occupied by monsters.

As a result, it can also have a negative impact on the guilds.

I was wondering if Dusker, Lord of the Guild, would have the shoulders of a monster, not a resident of the Guild.

And the Kings seem to be moving.

"... what?

The words out of Ray's mouth set a sharp gaze at what he didn't even know for Amonai or what he didn't think was a civilian.

If you try Amonai... No, if you try Dusker's men, the Kings are the redcloths, the cobolts, the giant eyeballs and the ones who have been hanging from last year to this year for a lot of trouble.

More than that, Amonai can't listen to Ray either.

"Where do you get the information that the Kings are moving from?

"I mean, information, the king's woman... that, too, the guy who calls himself serving the royal family has come into contact with me. I just thought I understood the neighborhood perfectly because he said he'd come into contact with Master Dusker or something like that... you didn't know?

"Yeah. Unfortunately, I don't know. Nevertheless, I have not been taught anything that I do not need to know more than that I am also a subordinate of Master Dusker's belly."

That sort of thing, I'm convinced, Ray.

As Ray has also been involved in various disturbances as an adventurer, I also understand that having information when something happens can be advantageous if you have it, but vice versa.

That is why there was nothing in particular to react to Amonai's words today.

"Still, are you a Kingslayer? It's troublesome how many people back the king's authority over there."

"Really? I've met some royalist nobles before, but that's never happened."

Marca is still small, so she won't want to use such authority, and Marca herself has a high magical talent in the first place.

Ray also forgot who he heard it from, but there were rumors that as a king he was looking to make Marka a symbol like Elaine in the aristocracy in the future.

Marca is still young, but still looks like she will undoubtedly be beautiful in the future.

So the idea of making it a symbol of the Kings is by no means wrong.

... but if Marka accepts it, it's different.

"You were lucky with that. Most importantly, the Kings are so numerous that some decent aristocrats deserve it, given that. But you should be careful if you come into contact with a nobleman who can't. Especially if you're an adventurer with an alias like Mr. Ray, it's not strange if you look over there and you manage to want it in your own hands."

If you try to be aristocratic, it only means a lot that you are subordinating high ranking adventurers.

In this world where quality outweighs quantity, it's not surprising that high-ranking adventurers have the power to just repeat the battlefield in some cases.

It is also significant that that alone can make a big face for other nobles.

Not to mention even greater significance if that's an adventurer with an alias.

And not only does Ray have an alias, but he also has an item box with a rare species and a rank S equivalent ceto as his obedience, and only the presence of which is currently confirmed to be counted in this world.

For the aristocrats, the very existence of Ray is what they want by any means.

The greatest advantage of being kings in order to get such a ray...... many will use the fact that it is the king behind them.

"If the royalty came out, don't worry, though, I'm not going to subtract the guy who uses the power of the back shield against them.... If the royal family comes out, in some cases it could be a matter of being chased from the country."

That showed that, in some cases, he was unwilling to forgive whether he was royal or not.

"Hey, if you do that..."

"Well, you're okay. If anything happens, that's the only way to escape into the Bestian Empire.... it's just a question of whether Elaine will come with us, regardless of Vihella and Marina"

"So, so, so! Don't tell me that kind of detour!

It would be too much of a rush. Amonai goes from his usual polite language to a slightly disturbed one.

Ray taps lightly on Amonai's shoulder like that.

"It's a joke, a joke. It's just a joke."

Amonai relieves Ray, who tells him with a laugh... Ray's eyes laugh when he says it's a joke, but he realizes there is a slight but genuine light behind it, which makes his spine cold.

If that were really the case... if the royals tried to force Ray to do what they wanted, Ray wouldn't hesitate to attack the hostile opponent.

And that if I can no longer be in the Kingdom of Mireana, I will go to the Bestian Empire.

If you try to be the Bestian Empire, and an extremely powerful force named Ray comes to your country, you won't be the first to say no to it.

No one will know Ray's strength as well as the Bestian Empire.

In the war, it was heavily damaged by Ray and Seto, and that was directly linked to victory and defeat.

The martial arts tournament showed its strengths scattered, followed by civil unrest on the enemy's side, showing them more than they did during the war.

No one will be pleased that such a force belongs to their country.

Nevertheless, many say that Ray killed family, friends, and lovers for rambling the scattered Bestian Empire against him.

If you ask me if I can do well with those people, I definitely can't and there will always be some disturbance.

But the current Emperor of the Bestian Empire has the conviction that power is everything and that what he wants is taken away by power.

In a way, I guess I should say that he sounds like Vihella's father.

"Really, you're kidding, right?

"Oh. Of course."

To Ray, who nods at his words, Amonai decides that he should speak to Dusker.

For Dusker, too, the presence of Ray can be described as an extremely powerful scalpel.

It causes a lot of problems, but it helps more than that.

I would never have liked to imitate such a talent by missing it.

That would be rubbing with the Kings in some cases, but they would do things like protect Ray.

"Now that I've been able to see the lake, it's time for me to go back. We still have a lot of work to do."

Saying so, Amonai heads to the carriage.

It's also true that we actually have work left, and we need to report the lake matter to Dusker.

But more than that, I needed to talk to Dusker to protect Ray.

"Really? Then don't ask for a report on the lake. I need to do something about that one."

At the end of Ray's gaze, Lizardman's children are laughing and playing with joy.

This is how I enjoy playing right now, but I don't know when or what more than I have yet to finish investigating this lake.

Beyond that, I needed to watch for when something happened to me as well as Seto.

(Most…)

Ray glances at Lizardman a little further away, watching the kids... no, it was some.

Originally, when counting monsters, it's normal to count one or two.

But Zozo and Gaga are Lizardman. Even Lizardman is very different from Lizardman in this world.

On top of that, I'm in the position of a Dusker guest, so to distinguish it, when counting numbers, it's better to count by people, not by horses, and Zozo and the others, unlike regular Lizardmans, can show that.

(Some guys complained about it, but Master Dusker told me to count it in people, not in people, and should I push around like he complained about it)

Try treating Zozo and the others as normal Lizardmans and you'll be dissatisfied with this response from Dusker.

If you're a regular Lizard Man, you have no problem defeating him.

But since the Lizardman here is a special Lizardman, it has been shown that there is no reason to respond like that.

(Later, if Dusker imitates the surrounding information about Lizardman, he won't be able to imitate Zozo and the others.)

With that in mind, Ray's gaze is directed at the lake.

This lake affects me even if I make a solid public announcement about the Zozos.

If this lake hadn't metastasized, I'd have moved a little faster.

Or something like Results Aurai, because if we had published about Lizardman before this lake was transferred, it could have been an extra big commotion about the lake.

● ● ● ● ●

Some Lizardman approaches the lake again himself as he speaks to the children playing in the lake.

Amonai, who sees it, bows his head small to Ray and heads to the carriage.

I decided that I was going to let him know about this lake, and Ray waves small and drops off such amonays.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Maybe it's because the Lizardman adults came.

Seto leaves the children's opponents to you, approaching Ray as he gets used to his throat.

Shall we play in the lake together? And that was Ceto, shown by his attitude, but if you try it on Ray, he's currently at work.

When something happens... that's when some kind of monster comes out of the lake, we need to respond immediately.

The adventurers, who are entrusted with escorting the tower of birth, also view the lake with envy, but do not actually imitate such things as play in the lake.

I guess the adventurers are equally responsible just to be entrusted with this place.

If this had hired the right adventurer to be around it, he would have left the job of escorting the tower of birth alone and stormed the lake.

... although there were many intrigued by the lake, including Ray.

Ray stroked his head softly saying it was bad for Seto, who asked him to play.
