"Uh... it's been a long time since I've camped like this"

At night, I instantly look up at the stars in the night sky as I keep my weight on Seto's back as he falls asleep while he's on fire.

There is not one cloud in the sky, and the brilliant moonlight falls.

Getting out at night isn't that uncommon for Ray either.

Because, like every night, they eat in the courtyard of a marina's house.

Still, the experience of looking up at the night sky while still burning and leaning against Seto cannot be done at the marina's house.

... Also, the only person in the marina's house is basically a woman except herself.

These days, there were zozozo and gaga, so it wasn't always just women anymore.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that Ray is concerned that the only person around him is a woman, either.

However, I still think it's okay to have a day like this once in a while.

(I wanted to ask Grimm that the birthday towers and lakes have been transferred.... can we do that again?)

When Lizardman and the Green Man moved in, I needed to ask quickly, but I don't need to ask now because I already know this wasn't Grimm's fault.

Most likely, given that the lake has moved from another world with the Zozos, we should probably talk to Grimm as soon as we can.

'Master Ray, what's wrong? I used all that magic. Is it okay if you're in good health?

That's how Zozo talks to Ray, who was looking up at the sky.

Try zozozo, you'd have wondered if Ray, who he serves, was staring up at the sky obliviously as he leaned against Seto.

Maybe you're not feeling well, either? And I worry so much because I saw the sight of Ray creating a giant flame during the day?

For Zozo, the presence of Ray was that of a warrior who beat himself.

That being said, that's not all...... that's what even the court wizards of the Grand Dragonian Empire would not be able to use. Using mighty magic is still completely unbelievable, even now that I've seen it with my own eyes.

Didn't Ray do more than use such mighty magic and get sick?

That's what Zozo worried about.

"Oh, don't worry. Sure, the magic I used this time was pretty massive, but the configuration itself was a pretty simple guy. It's hard to guess if he's not the one stopping the movement."

Ray's unleashed magic is like beating a huge chunk of flame on your opponent.

If that flame is also someone you can move quickly against, than it is a substitute for beating the flame you have created at a considerable height, then it is difficult to let it hit you.

That is magic that I could hit only because the slime movement was dull and I was able to control it again with Ray's thoughts, if I say so, I can say defective magic.

… Although there was no mistake in saying that the magic used was enormous and could not be used alone.

But sometimes Zozo can't use magic in person, and he's not that familiar with magic.

So it was incredible of Ray to take an attitude like nothing while using the magic of producing such a huge flame.

"Amazing, Master Ray."

"I'm a little happy to hear you say that. See?"

"Gru."

To Ray's voice, Seto rings his throat looking a little sleepy.

Lizard men, adventurers, knights.

They gather around the fire to eat and drink lightly.

Ray was a little excited about dinner today and served some of the dishes in the mysteries.

That's why everyone is enjoying this time, especially without getting so nervous, even if all of a sudden the lake has metastasized, etc.

With regard to alcohol, there is also the matter of watching over it, so it is not a matter of deep alcohol, but a degree of sobriety.

Obviously something unusual is happening, starting with the transfer of this lake.

I guess we should be more nervous about our surroundings than we should be, but people's concentration doesn't last that long.

You need to breathe in a moderate place.

There was some concern that Ray would not be too nervous about serving a fancy dinner or booze.

Thanks to this, so far the adventurers and the Lizardmans have been able to relax accordingly.

... In a remote place, there was a slime that was still burning at night.

"Whatever, I'm glad you're safe today."

'Right. To be honest, I was quite surprised to see such a huge lake metastasized... but'

Zozo nods to Ray's words as he agrees, but there is also remorse in those words.

Zozo is also confident that his strength is commensurate.... but still, when dealing with the giant slime coming out of the lake, there was no turn for Zozo.

Zozo's brother Tagaga was facing a giant slime with Ray.

I know I'm weaker than Gaga, but it's me who serves Ray, not Gaga.

That's why Zozo regrets that he couldn't help Ray.

Though Ray didn't seem to have noticed such Zozo's thoughts.

This wasn't Ray being blunt, I guess he was better at taking care of Zozo, who was keeping his emotions off the table because of the Thirteenth Prince.

"A lake metastasis?... I wonder what the hell will happen if that lake is a transfer from outside the world of the Zozos"

If it's only moving from the world of the Zozos, it's still convincing.

For example, I wonder if the world has connected to each other for any reason.

But if it were to transfer from outside the world of Zozo and the others, I would think that the reason is in this world.

That doesn't necessarily mean the second or third lake isn't moving.

This time it was someone Ray could manage.

But when it comes to people from different worlds, they don't know what kind of existence they're transferring.

For example, there is also ample possibility that the presence of magic that is completely ineffective will be transferred.

Most of all, there are expectations that, contrary to such anxiety, a presence that is of great benefit to Guild will be transferred.

Because this time the lake is also definitely of great benefit to the Guild in the sense of aquatic resources.

'I don't know what will happen. But given this one, I don't think it's strange that many of them will be metastatic in the future.'

"I guess. If we could, would we be ready to respond immediately so that whatever happens?... If no additional construction had been done, I guess I could afford it as a guild."

No one would have come to work in the Guild if no additional construction had been done, but if we could still turn many of the adventurers living in the Guild over here, it would certainly have been easier than it is now.

Then it happened, and there could have been another disturbance.

"Anyway, you'll need to keep a close watch tonight. Until yesterday, they did it in order, didn't they?

"Yes."

I was a zozozo snorting lightly, but as for Ray, I wonder how he'd set that watch time.

If this is daytime, it's not strange to hear bells coming from the guilds.

But at night, it will not be a bell, and we will not know the time.

(Oh, but are the adventurers entrusted with escorting us here armed and reputable people from the guild? Isn't it strange, for example, if someone has a kind of watch)

Clocks also exist in this world, but that is a very expensive magic item.

Ray also has a Mithrill pocket watch, but I didn't buy this myself, it's a substitute I took from the bandits.

If that is also a pocket watch made of misrills, it is not surprising that it would normally be regarded as a kind of work of art rather than a practical product.... although Ray usually uses it as a practical product.

Even when I put it in mysteries where the flow of time was stopped, it had more than the effect of instantly matching time as the effect of a magic item the moment I put it out, it had enough performance to use as a practical product.

... On the contrary, the kind of watches and alarm clocks Ray used when he was in Japan were slightly off every day.

With that in mind, I'd say this Mithrill pocket watch is overwhelmingly more performance.

Nevertheless, the watches and alarm clocks Ray used in Japan are only substitutes for about a few thousand yen at a time.

In comparison, it was definitely not comparable in price to a Mithrill pocket watch.

"Anyway, you'll need to keep a closer watch than ever. I don't know about the world where this lake was, but as far as I know, there are quite a few nocturnal fish and animals and stuff like that. It's not weird at all to have something like that in this lake."

'That's... right. I'll tell you to keep a closer watch than ever before. Brother Gaga, if you have someone to fight with, you're going to be happy.'

It was Ray who wanted to shelter Gaga, but that's an undeniable fact if you think about the fight against Vihela and the huge slime you challenged.

"Gaga's prowess wouldn't be the problem with most of his opponents, but should I tell him to act discreetly given what happened"

"Please."

He was a zozozo serving Ray, but only Gaga treated me decently in a position called the Thirteenth Prince, where he had been white-eyed by his brother, sister, and in some cases even his brother and sister.

So even as a zozozo, I didn't want Gaga to ever get hurt badly or... die in some cases.... If Zaza dies, I don't feel anything in particular.

"Well, I just want to be quick...... where did that gaga go?

Big because Zozo told me to, but for now I'm going to keep an eye out for Gaga. I'm going to stand up from Seto, who was leaning on me, and look around, but I don't see Gaga around the incineration.

Not all of them can be discerned by the lights of the incendiary fire, but the size of Gaga, which is still three meters tall, was not a difficult story to identify by itself.

That's why you should know as soon as Gaga is near the bonfire, but looking around doesn't exist anywhere.

Could you possibly have gone back to the tower of birth? I didn't think so, but given Gaga's character, I didn't think I'd imitate that I was the only one going back to the tower while everyone was making a scene.

That was how Ray looked around, but eventually he discovers a giant figure near a lake a little further away.

(Is that it? Lizardman, so Lizardman Shadow? It's a hassle, can I have a shadow?)

I point to Zozo looking around in a slight panic, pointing toward the lake.

When Zozo sees it, he realizes that there are about three meters of people there and relieves him.

There is absolutely nothing more wrong with seeing than that Gaga is the only one who is about three meters tall among those who are here today.

"What are you doing?... you want to go for a minute?

"Yes."

"Gru."

Zozo and Seto answer Ray's words, respectively.

Seeing it, Ray takes Zozo and Seto and heads towards the lake.

Several adventurers spoke up along the way, but Ray just responds appropriately to it.

I don't particularly care if you speak up, even if you don't have a clear response, than if you just spoke up somehow.

Approaching the lake that way, I notice that there Gaga is doing things like getting out of the water when he enters the lake.

(Though spring, it would be cold if it were also water at night.... What are you doing?

Even from Ray's point of view, he doesn't particularly seem to be playing, he seems to be acting serious.

Ray could understand that there would be more to it than that, but he still doesn't know what he's doing.

"Gaga."

You heard Ray, Gaga stops the act of entering the lake, looks at Ray and opens his mouth.

"We want to make sure we know exactly what this lake is like."

Zozo interprets Gaga's dialogue and tells him so.

Ray hasn't heard anything yet, but that's what Ray tells me, as he expected me to hear.

"A lake.... For once, they don't have anything like that slime with Marina's Spirit Magic... but they may be smaller and more dangerous than that, so be careful, okay?

Gaga, who interpreted Ray's words and heard him, nodded that he was okay.
