Legend

"Heh, here it is.... Ray's right, there's a hole in the basement."

Marina squeaks when she sees Grimm's empty hole.

Having finished eating fruit water and bread, Ray bought one piece of fruit water for the time being and stored it in the mistering, as Marina agreed to do Whisp research for the time being at the fruit pavilion.

I would have liked to buy bread as well, but unfortunately I couldn't buy bread because it was made in a special way that was a little different from normal: I took the order and baked it to finish.

Then I went to the clinic and the marina talked through it and, very unfortunately, even came to the forest of Trento.

It would have been nice to grab onto Seto's leg and fly because he was supposed to be with the marina, but what the marina is wearing is a white party dress.

Given what happens if you look at it from the ground, the option of grabbing it on Seto's feet and moving it doesn't exist.

I also had the means to change into a dress with no problems even if I could see it from below, but sometimes if Ray and I are asked to run on a ceto with him, I can't refuse that as Ray either.

... Seto is good that way again! It is also significant that I agreed.

Naturally, when I got out of the guild, a lot of gaze was gathered by the fact that she was a dark elf beauty in a party dress from those who were lining up to enter the guild, but Ray and Marina, who were used to being gazed at by others, didn't seem to care about that at all.

That's how Ray, Seto and Marina, who came from Gilm to Trento Forest, naturally encountered the twins and adventurers along the way, but appropriately misled the story and came to the center of Trento Forest.

"Oh. Do you want to go inside for now? If you keep an eye on Seto outside, there's no problem."

"Right.... Bye, Seto. Please."

"Gru!"

To Marina's word, I'll take care of Seto! and honking his throat.

With Seto, most of his opponents won't be able to get inside.

So relieved, Ray and Marina go down Grimm's built basement.

"That's a long time."

"There was a lot of space for Whisper. If you think about it, you're gonna need this long."

As far as the lights in the underground passage are concerned, they are dealt with by the spiritual magic of the marina.

(Is that it? How could you possibly not have to do this with my terrain manipulation to imitate the spiritual magic of the marina to hide the entrance to this underground tunnel?

While walking down the tunnel, Ray still thinks so.

In the case of the terrain operation of the ray, it is not possible to imitate the place where it was operated by giving it some special properties, or in the worst case, to prevent it from being imitated by digging directly.

But if it's the spiritual magic of the marina, then that's what can be imitated, such as intercepting by any means, if other than a certain person comes and tries to dig the ground?

Yes, I thought so.

Normally, spiritual magic can't even imitate that, but if you're a spiritual wizard that should be called superior, like a marina, it's not surprising that you can do that.

In the Marina house, which is actually in Gilm's house, it is equipped with very strong security by spiritual magic.

Of course, that's not something I can do right away that I wanted to do, but it takes a lot of preparation and a certain amount of time.

(In the meantime, why don't you ask Master Dusker to come back later?... Master Dusker would naturally have come up with the option of relying on the marina... why didn't you say something? Hated to rely on the marina? Because you don't want Marina to help you investigate Whisper in the first place, do you?

While walking down the road, Ray thought about why Dusker didn't rely on the marina, but in the end, there was nothing like something coming up with that.

The final conclusion is that I guess I couldn't get my head around that much because I was tired at work, I just think so.

I didn't know if that was true, but I was still convinced in Ray for now, so I self-finished that would be fine...

"You saw it."

Just at that time, the marina squeaks.

The light was actually visible at the end of his gaze.

Ray, who moved on last night, naturally knew what that light was due to.

"I hope the whisp light hasn't faded"

According to what Ray heard from Grimm, Whisp's magic should have drained a lot.

Beyond transferring Lizardman yesterday in such circumstances, there was a good chance that maybe Ray transferred something or someone while he was not in the Trent Forest again.

As for Ray, he is half useless, but the earth... I also had the thought of connecting the passage with Japan, so if I could, I wouldn't want Whisp to be too weak with the use of magic in the current situation, which was the real deal.

(If I could, I wish I could communicate with you just like Seto... I can't)

Since we can communicate with Seto to a certain extent, we can broadly understand each other what Ray wants from Seto and what Seto wants from Ray.

But that's only a story because Seto was created by Ray's Warcraft, in the underground space of the Trent Forest… it was also nowhere connected, and such imitation was impossible against Whisp, who would have been in a place he could never have found without Grimm.

If so, I wouldn't have thought of it in any other way, but if Whisp were a normal monster, he might have been able to do something like feed some, but Whisp who was here was, in a way, specialized as a system.

How the hell am I supposed to communicate with someone who doesn't even exist like me?

At least not much, I couldn't think of any such way for Ray.

"This is... awesome. I had no idea there was a space like this in the basement of the Trent Forest."

A stingy, squeaky marina watching the underground space.

Ray felt the same way when he came here last night, so I can fully understand how Marina feels.

"Sounds like Grimm's not here.... I thought you might be investigating Whisp."

You said something last night about connecting this underground space to one of Grimm's labs, so maybe you're just connecting it to here and looking into Whisp? And that's what Ray thought, but unfortunately that prediction seemed off.

"Marina, needless to say..."

That's what Ray says, the light source in this underground space...... he turns his gaze to Whisp.

I could understand that that whisp, which is clearly of a different size than a normal whisp, is not normal if you look at it as whoever it is.

"Yeah. That Whisp.... I've never seen a big whisp like this before."

From that word, I guess Marina has seen Whisp before.

However, the whisp currently at the end of Marina's gaze was clearly different from the normal whisp.

That's why, watching such a whisp, Marina utters a surprising word.

"Right? Well, if you look at that whisp, anyone can tell it's not a regular whisp.... So, what do you say? Do you think you can study it? If it's possible, I'd like to imitate it to some extent by manipulating it the way we think it is."

"That's... honestly, I don't know. Even if I were to try, I honestly wouldn't be able to imitate that. It's just... I'll try as much as I can."

Marina would have been happy to have been relied on by Ray, too.

I know I'm doing something I'm not used to, but I'm still getting closer to Whisp wondering if I can do something with the status quo.

I wasn't sure what to do first, but first I wanted to make sure I had a Whisp with my own eyes, which is what I would do.

Ray doesn't have anything in particular to do with watching Whisp, so he's just watching the marina in silence.

(Magic... Magic. If I could transfer my magic to that Whisp, I'd probably solve Whisp's lack of magic, too. It would be troublesome if we could transfer strange objects and people from strange places again, so even if we can transfer magic, we will be able to control it successfully.)

If we were to transfer magic only to the detours, we could not deny the possibility that in some cases we would now be transferring huge mountains.

In the first place, we still don't know if things like transferring magic will be possible.

This Whisp is the only one who has the ability to transfer it from another world in any way.

After experimenting with transferring magic power to Whisp poorly here, there's nothing I can do about it if Whisp dies.

"Ray? Look at Whisp, what's going on?

Marina asks wondering if you were curious about Ray staring at Whisp.

"Grimm said this Whisp consumes a lot of magic, didn't he? So I was hoping if I could transfer my magic to Whisp. Of course, if we can get Whisper to work the way we want, instead of imitating it right away."

The amount of magic Ray has is enormous.

That's what disguises magic. Without a magic item called the Crescent Moon Ring, those who perceive magic by any means panic so much about the amount of magic.

"Uh... yeah. I see. I see what Ray's trying to say. But we haven't even started researching it yet, so if we can imitate that, I guess we're still a long way off.... Until then, I hope this Whisp is alive"

Marina's words were something to worry about, too, for Ray.

Anyway, nobody knows how long this Whisp will live.

Only a monster of ability that can transfer some kind of existence from another world, and that can be when it comes to life, dying of overuse of abilities, etc.

Such convenience… I don't see any other whisp with dangerous abilities.

(If it's not a rare species, but a superior species, then I guess the whisp will still evolve to be just like this whisp... meaning Grimm didn't know, maybe it's a rare species)

Open your mouth looking at a whisp that shows no movement at all, despite Ray and Marina being nearby.

"I hope you get the results as soon as you can."

"Right. But if you're going to do that much research, you'd better do it with a full-time researcher, not me, right? What I do is just like a researcher's imitation."

"Still, I think it's amazing enough."

"Oh, Ray's good at it, too. If Ray leans on me, I'll have to work a little harder too."

Whether you're motivated by Ray's words, the marina floats in the air, approaching a whisp that has an overwhelming size than normal.

"Hmm, I thought when I saw it earlier, it turns out that when I look at it again like this, it's obviously not the same presence as a normal Whisp."

"That's what I thought, too. In the first place, from what I read in the monster atlas and stuff, Whisp isn't that big."

"Whispers I've encountered before are smaller than people's heads, no matter how big they are. If it was small, it was about the size of my hand."

"I guess. Hmm, but then... you know what to look into?

"If you're a full-time researcher, you know how to find out if this is the case... it's a little hard when this happens."

Having thought a little about Ray's words, Marina shrugs in a fuzzy way.

Then the wind blew just a little around.

There's nothing but an underground passage made by Grimm, in this space.

Of course, it's no stranger if the wind blows than it is connected to the outside.

But when the wind was blowing in good time, there was still discomfort there.

"No, you can't. From the spirits, I asked if there was anything wrong with this whisp, but there was nothing. I don't know about the expression normal...... but it looks like a monster with nothing particularly wrong with it"

"Did you ask the Spirit of the Wind?... you had that kind of means. Uh, but when it does, what happens? Is there any way we can find out anything more?

"I can't have fire and water, but would you like to ask the earth spirits? It just didn't seem weird from the spirits of the wind, and it probably wouldn't change, would it?

That's how Ray and Marina looked into the whisp in front of them as they talked.
