Legend

Elaine and the others watched the knights look fed up, but it was Vihella who broke that silence first.

"So, Ray. What's that flame burning in the end? I'm worried about the lake at some point, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm more worried about you."

That being said, I'm probably looking at the lake because I understand that the presence that came out of the lake hit Ray.

We saw a giant flame, and if we came there, there would have been a giant lake.

Given that, it would be obvious without having to think about where the present burning presence came from.

"Simply put, there was a giant slime at the bottom of the lake. That's the kind of giant slime that you mistake for a mountain or a hill."

"Slime."

I hear it slime and give it a slightly unfortunate look.

For Vihera, slime is probably not a very fighting and fun opponent.

To defeat the slime without using magic, you need to destroy the core Demon Stone of the slime.

But if it's a normal slime, it's still hard to destroy the Demon Stone if it's a slime as huge as Ray fought.

Not to mention that slime demon stones can be translucent or move freely through your body, making them difficult to find.

Even when Ray was actually fighting the slime in front of him, he didn't know where the demon stone was.

That's why I thought maybe this slime from different worlds doesn't have demonic stones.

"Oh. He was a pretty nasty guy.... No, you should describe it as him. He's not dead yet."

"... you're not dead?

Seeing the still burning slime, the marina... No, otherwise the newly-arrived faces gaze at the flames in a flashing manner.

I don't feel the heat, but I can still easily understand how powerful that flame is just from looking at it.

That's why I didn't understand that he was burned by that flame but still wasn't dead.

"That flame keeps burning is a testament to the fact that the slime that is still burning is alive.... Fortunately, nothing can be done while that slime is burning"

"If it's slime, I don't have pain or anything, and it seems like I can act even though I'm normally burned."

"That's my magic, that's all I'm saying."

"Right. Ray."

Ha, and if you come and enjoy the slightest shuddering and, above all, the battle against the mighty enemy, it's a great shame that Ray was fighting it was slime, exhale.

Nevertheless, even a bad opponent is undoubtedly a mighty enemy, and if there were still slimes here, perhaps Vihera would have challenged the fight.

(That makes me a little nervous to ask Marina to do this.)

If it turns out there is still a slime at the bottom of the lake, Vihella will undoubtedly challenge the fight as a delight.

Nor did he seem to care at all about that because he was a bad opponent... No, there was a sight in Ray's head of challenging Slime to fight in the sense that he would overcome a bad opponent.

... That's why Ray speaks to the marina who was intrigued and listening to herself, not to see if this lake is dangerous.

"I have a lot to do with the slime, but I need to ask the marina for something."

"A favor, huh?... If you want to do something about that burning slime, you can't? Originally I was not compatible with the Spirit of Fire"

"No, that's not it. Actually, I want you to look into that lake with the spiritual magic of the marina. This lake is sure to be of great benefit to Gilm. But if there are other monsters like that slime in the lake, you can't even fish in the middle of nowhere."

To Ray's words, Marina nods convincingly.

Elaine, who was looking at the lake nearby, also nodded when she heard that it was never a mistake to ask a marina that would go well with the water spirits if she was going to look into the lake.

"Fishing, right. That makes me a little more motivated. At Gilm, raw fish are hard to come by.... we don't have to worry about it at all thanks to Ray."

Since Ray started eating at the marina's house, many raw fish stored in the mysteries were offered.

But that was only what Ray could do because he kept fish caught in the sea and in the river in his mistering.

Other than that, it was only with Seto that I could easily go out to sea.

Such a thing was done because it was only a ray, and normally you can't eat fresh fish in a guild.

But with this lake, it's not a story.

(I don't know if I can eat that fish because it's probably a lake that's been transferred from different worlds.... No, the Zozos were eating fish from this world, are you okay? Although, it's hard to judge that this lake has not necessarily been transferred from the world of the Zozos)

Ray also turns his gaze to the lake.

I just hope there's no other slime-like presence that's still burning.

"Can you ask?

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. However, I think it will take the form of asking the spirits of the water in this lake, not asking them to look into it. Well, I'll do it fast, okay?

Nodding at Ray's words, Marina speaks to the Spirit of Water......

"Oh?"

Secondly, stop that movement.

that, only the marina, which can be said to be absolute in spiritual magic, Ray...... and the other faces around him also pointed a strange gaze at the marina.

"What's wrong with you?

"... the spirits of the water in this lake seem a little tricky. I'll explain around there later."

Hard? and Ray wonders.

If it's a marina that goes well with the water spirits, that's why I thought I could look inside the lake right away.

However, given some meaningful gaze, it was likely that it was some sort of pre-construction that it was difficult.

(Spirit...... Spirit? Oh, maybe because the lake came from another world, spirits can be different in character or something? In the first place, there was a possibility that there was no spirits.)

Ray watches the marina as she thinks about what's probably right, although it hasn't been finalized yet.

Everyone watched the marina… Eventually after a few minutes, a water polo about a metre in diameter emerged from the lake and came to the front of the marina.

A water polo that travels through the air is an amazing sight if you're not used to seeing it, but if you're with the marina, it's not that uncommon.

And the Spirit eventually returns to the lake again.

"Phew."

Smaller and exhaled, Marina looks at Ray with a grin that makes her feel strong and glossy, as usual, and opens her mouth.

"I asked the Spirit of Water for now, but Ray knocked down the giant slime... knocking it down? Looks like there's only one."

"Did you just gather information now?

"Yeah. Originally that water spirits were in this lake. Looks like you have a pretty good idea of the lake. … the problem is that it's difficult to communicate."

To his last little whining words, Ray is convinced of the reason he was taking the trouble at first.

(I don't know exactly how you communicate with the Spirit, but as Lizardman said differently, so does the Spirit? No, but it looks like we could communicate quickly.)

All in all, Marina's words were enough to reassure Ray.

"By the way, aren't there any other dangerous monsters besides that slime?

"Hmm... that's what I said earlier, but it's hard to communicate."

A marina that tells you like you're in trouble, but I don't try to say anything more detailed.

Did you decide you shouldn't talk about it on this occasion, or did you simply think you wouldn't understand talking about spiritual magic?

Ray didn't even know why around there, but I'll get back to talking about the lake anyway.

"It wouldn't necessarily mean that the lake is completely safe...... but still I just found out that there is no out of standard existence like that slime, it helps. The next question is… if you can eat the fish you can catch in this lake."

If this lake came from another world, the fish would naturally also be unknown.

At least if it's a lake from the world where the Grand Dragonian Empire was... and Ray expects something he doesn't even think of.

If the lake has been transferred from one world of the Grand Dragonian Empire, it is likely that the Zozos know the fish of the lake.

But if the lake is not Ray's world, nor the world of the Zozos, but a being that has moved from a third world, we need to find out which fish we can eat first.

Because that's not necessarily why there's no fish in the fish that's poisonous like a fugue.

If you have a delicious fish like a fugue, you could eat it with us, and that could spread the poison damage.

... but Ray has never eaten a hoof.

"In that area, come on. You're gonna have to look into it. No way, you can't ask the Spirit.... you can't ask, can you?

For once, Vihera asks the marina, just in case, but she naturally shakes her head to the side.

"I knew it. When that happens, I need to start by catching fish and stuff... I wonder how many species of fish there are in this lake"

"Uh... yeah. That even sounds like a pain in the ass to look into."

To Vihera's words, Ray hammers in a way that he agrees.

The lake that is spreading in front of you can be said to be exactly vast.

How many different kinds of fish are there, that's the only trouble I have to think about.

Not to mention that there will be shellfish and crab species as well as animal species with hair wet in the water but not at all, which we saw when we flew over the ceto.

When it comes to examining all of them, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of difficulty.

Ray recalls a feature he saw on TV when he was in Japan, that new species of organisms are being discovered on Amazon as every day.

Of course, the size of this lake is not as large as Amazon, but when it is still a lake that has been transferred from another world, it will be filled with new species at first.

Still Japan...... no, unlike Earth, you don't have to imitate things like register or anything if you find a new species, on the contrary, if you find a new species of monster, anyway, finding a new species like fish, plants, bugs, shellfish doesn't make that much noise, it seems like this world...... no, I can tell you it sounds like a border.

In the first place, it is sometimes called the periphery because it is home to a large number of unknown monsters and animals, and new species of organisms are not so rare.

"Around there, come on, let's do it. Scholars and so on... When they might be able to use it as a material, the alchemists will stick it out. And the fact that there are many unknown organisms means I might stick around the pharmacists. There's no denying that plants that grow on the banks of the lake can have some kind of medicinal effect."

"The people in your relationship are going to come to this lake with pleasure. In the meantime, according to the Spirit of Water, there seems to be no danger."

"Right. However, a monster is only as powerful as a burning slime, so you can never deny the possibility that other monsters exist."

It is no surprise that there is no such thing as an existence that strikes people, even if it is not as vicious as the slime that strikes the Rays and still burns.

Not to mention that if it were to be this big a lake, it wouldn't necessarily be without a fish-shaped monster.... No, you should think he's definitely here.

(When it comes to lakes that have been transferred from different worlds, it's not a fish or a monster, it's not strange to have a third being or anything like that)

I hope it is clear, at the very least, whether this lake has really moved from the third world, simply from the world of the Zozos, but not even the Zozos, or from a country other than the Grand Dragonian Empire.

With that in mind, Ray turns his gaze to the slime that is still burning.

It's been a long time since I've already started burning, but the slime never seems to burn.

The way it continued to burn, to be honest, was enough to question how long it had been burning, even from a magical ray.

Could it be that as it were today... No, on the contrary, a few days, a dozen days, a few dozen days... longer than that for the case, I thought it would continue to burn, and Ray subtly gave me an unpleasant look.
