Legend

Leaving Grimm, who had just decided to connect one of his labs to the underground space, Ray goes out on the ground again through the underground tunnel.

"Gru!"

Seto welcomes such a ray with a happy ringing voice.

Ray opens his mouth as he strokes Seto's head as he approaches.

We found out what caused the metastasis.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!?

True!? Ceto exposes surprises such as.

I expected that if I tried Ceto, there would be a cause for the metastasis in the place that Grimm found it, but still it was only natural to be surprised if I actually found it.

From Seto's attitude, Ray, who understands what he wants to say, strokes Seto's head with a grin.

"Oh, it's true. … but it's tomorrow to report to Master Dusker."

"Gru?"

Why? And to Seto, who raises the question so loud, Ray tells him that Grimm said he would connect the space with the lab.

In fact, I hear that the work itself does not take that long, but just in case, that's what I'm thinking.

Then he also tells Grimm's view of the Whisp that was finally causing it.

"That's why I'm going back to the birthday tower place for now. And when it's tomorrow, I'll go report it to Master Dusker."

To Ray's words, Seto understood! and honking, then one and one go back to the tower of birth.

In that, Ray remembered the burning slime, but for now, he thought it was not the time for the current grime, and he decided to put the matter behind him.

"Hmm? Oh, Ray. It was pretty late for a walk."

An adventurer who notices that Ray and Seto are back tells him so by taking his hands off the weapon.

Suddenly they approached me, so it would be natural to be vigilant.

Each of the other adventurers, unlike the others who have been speaking, takes their hands off the weapon.

"Oh. A little bit."

"... a little?

It was Ray's word to mislead something, but the adventurer he talked to doesn't pursue it any further.

Ray goes out of his way to cloud words.

If you ask about that cloudy thing here, you could get into trouble if you do poorly.

In order not to, I was sure I shouldn't go in any further.

If this was the one who had just become an adventurer, he would also have imitated being moved by curiosity to ask.

"Oh. Hey. I will also inform Master Dusker about the matter tomorrow.... I'm likely to be busy tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that area, okay?

"Wow."

To Ray's words, an adventurer raising an unpleasant voice.

Naturally, work is still easier than being busy.

"So that glowing jellyfish came out today?

"No, I'm not answering.... I would have liked to see it again today if I could. Too bad."

Ha, and.

The adventurer groans with such a sigh, and the other adventurers agree.

The sight of actually glowing jellyfish dancing in the sky is definitely worth a look.

That's not so strange to be a tourist resource in some cases.

… although I don't think there are so many lovers who go out of the guild at night at the border.

"You don't have that jellyfish, you don't come out like every night. If you do things like swimming in the water or dancing in the air while shining in your body, you will naturally drain your strength and magic."

"I guess.... Hey, if you find out about that jellyfish, some guys think about capturing it and keeping it for themselves?

Another adventurer who was nearby sandwiches his mouth in a conversation between Ray and the adventurer.

In fact, that adventurer's concerns are never wrong.

A jellyfish that is not aggressive at all and then shows fantastic sights at night.

It's not strange if someone tries to get a jellyfish for self-evident greed if they know there is such a thing.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to look closely at what ecology it possesses more than being a jellyfish of another world.

Among other things, there was a good chance that he would capture the jellyfish without even looking closely into not attacking them, and consequently be attacked by the jellyfish for some reason...

Ray worries about the jellyfish because he understands it.

Because it is not strange that those who say that they have been attacked should come out in such a way as to kill all the jellyfish.

"That said, you don't even know if the jellyfish can live outside this lake, do you?

It is quite possible that the jellyfish are alive by absorbing some nutrient and special magic that is only present in the water of this lake, beyond the lake being a lake that has been transferred from different worlds.

Beyond that, there is also a good chance that you will die… or weaken… at a point away from this lake.

"Hey, Ray. Can't you handle that area?

"No. Even if you tell me that, honestly, I'm in trouble. I may have an alias, but in the end, I'm just an adventurer.... but, well, I'm going to see Master Dusker tomorrow about this, so I'll tell him somehow then."

If you tell them so, the adventurers on the lookout will all look relieved.

Waving at such adventurers, Ray turned to his own bunk, the Magic Tent.

"What!?

In Dusker's room, a loud...... that's what sounds like a loud voice to call anger.

Maybe someone will come and hear this Dusker? And Ray didn't think so, but fortunately, there's no way someone is currently coming.

Sometimes it's still morning, and each is busy at work?

With that in mind, Ray takes a sip of tea and then tells Dusker to calm down.

"Dear Dusker, if you shout like that all of a sudden, someone might come here with a strange worry, right?

"Mm?... sorry. But you know what makes me want to shout like I do now?

Ray, too, I know what that Dusker feels like.

Because that's what I said when I figured out why I was experiencing the phenomenon of metastasis from different worlds, for which I had no idea what the cause was.

"Right. As for Dear Dusker's murderous busyness, I understand. It's just... hearing this story may add to Dear Dusker's busy schedule than it is now. Still, do you want to listen?

"Naturally. I want to know a little more about the situation than I know anything about it. So why is there such a phenomenon as metastasis from another world?

"Simply put, there is quite a bit of space in the basement in the middle of Trento Forest, where there are monsters that have transferred beings like Lizardman, the Green Man, the Tower of Birth and the Lake from different worlds"

"Wait. Wait, wait, wait. It's sudden information, I'm a little out of my mind."

Having heard Ray's words, Dusker sums up his thoughts a little and then opens his mouth again.

"In the first place. Why did you think there was such a space beneath Trent's woods?

"I couldn't sleep last night and I was walking in the night sky with Seto, and my master came and that's what we talked about in there"

"Wait. Wait, wait, wait."

Dusker speaks exactly the same words as earlier.

My head hurts...... no, I open my mouth to Ray again, holding my head like a headache.

"What happened and that happened? Your master came to Gilm?

"Yes, when I walked through this neighborhood, I stumbled upon what I was researching because I was a little uncomfortable with the space around here"

Naturally, that's a cover story, but there was no other way to explain Grimm in detail.

"Uh... what the hell is going on? No, well, that's good. Anyway, so you're saying that I worked with your master to find out what caused the metastasis from different worlds?

"It will."

Having said that, I realized that my master - Grimm - used exploratory magic to cause the underground to have a cause about the transfer from another world, and I magically created a passage leading underground, through which I went downstairs... so I found Whisp.

Explaining that, Dusker's face surprises me enough to see... no, he gives me a stunned look.

Naturally. Dusker is also formerly a knight, he has dived into the kind of dungeons, and above all he has a wealth of knowledge about monsters as a lord of the border.

Even for a dusker like that, not very much, but I don't think Whisp has the ability to do that.

"Does Whisp have that ability?

"You wouldn't be able to do it if it was a normal whisp. But Whisp, who was in an underground space, obviously can't be considered normal because of its size. A rare species or a superior species... I thought that was the place."

"... I got the story for now. So? I guess you knocked that whisp down, huh? So you can assume there won't be any more metastases from the other world?

Because it's about Ray, he was already a dusker as if he were sure Whisker would have defeated him, but Ray shakes his neck against such a dusker.

To how Ray looked like that, Dusker didn't know what the behavior of shaking Ray's head aside for a moment meant.

But soon I realized what the trick meant...

"Wait. Why? Why did you have Whisp and you didn't knock him down? I'm guessing that whisp was transferring you from another world? So, it's about you, and I don't think it's weird to knock you down?

"To be honest, I was gonna do that at first, too. But from what my master has seen, if I defeat Whisp, I'm quite likely to summon something out of the other world at the end."

"What?

"Whisp now is the influence or weakness that has metastasized the lake.... For some reason, I transferred Lizardman again yesterday, but that's anyway. And because it's so weak, it's the last thing they want to do is move it to burn so hard."

"That is.... that you can't kill that whisp?

It was a dusker pointing his gaze at Ray like taking confirmation, but Ray shakes his neck sideways against it and denies it.

"Given the ecology of Whisp, it's subtle whether it deserves the expression kill, but if you ask me if I can take it down for now, I can. However, in that case, there is something that is not comparable to that lake… and that is why, in some cases, something more gigantic than the Kingdom of Mireana could be transferred, so I hope so,"

"What... what..."

As for Ray, Grimm told me he wanted Whisper to move in the direction of not killing him if he could, so he tells me a lot about the existence that Whisper would make him transfer.

Nevertheless, that is not a big deal or a total lie.

If what Grimm tells us is true, it's never strange to see that happen.

If I had made it a dusker, what Ray explained would have been completely unexpected.

I just look at Ray sitting in front of me in a state of surprise and barely speaking.

Still, I'm just serving as Lord of the Guild, and I'll manage to get me back in less than a few minutes.

"Is that true?

"That's what my master said, so I think it's true. At least, I couldn't choose to ignore my master's words and defeat Whisp, and that's why I'm reporting this."

I guess Ray's words were convincing enough.

Dusker gives a very troubled look.

If Ray's... No, if Ray's master's story is true, the option of defeating Whisp, though not very much, does not exist.

But then it means you can't defeat Whisp...

"I mean, maintain the status quo?

"You will be."

It was a bitterly squeaky dusker, but Ray answers it lightly.

If you try it on Ray, that was definitely the best choice.

Nevertheless, I think I don't have time for Dusker or rest of my mind as it is, and cut one card in my hand so that I can feel a little more comfortable.

"However, the master says, that whisp does not exist in its own kind, if you say so, it is one system that connects the different worlds to this one… it is close to a magic item. So if you can control the Whisp, you can connect the other world freely to this world."

The word was enough to stop Dusker from moving.

Even in the present situation, Gilm benefits a lot from the other world.

Green man, Lizardman, lake.

But what the hell happens if you can connect freely with other worlds and transfer whatever you want?

"Ray... will you let me see your master?

That's what Dusker asks after a few minutes of thinking into Ray's words.
