Legend

"... I see. Didn't you know anything at the marina?"

Ha, and.

The marina turns a frightened glance at Dusker, who tells her in a sigh.

"You know, I live a long time because I'm a dark elf, but it doesn't mean I'm a researcher, does it? And yet, there's no way I can find out what it is by looking at a special individual who has the ability to transfer Whisp between different worlds, right?

Drinking cold fruit water, Marina says dissatisfied.

Most likely, some of that dissatisfaction was not due to Dusker's attitude, but because the fruit water tasted less than what he drank at the fruit pavilion.

It's not that the taste of fruit water that came out of the lord's hall is thin, but simply because fruit water from the fruit pavilion used a lot of fruit juice.

"Even if they say so. As I told Ray, there are no free researchers in the current situation, so I can't help it. No, you're right that I can trust you and I'm free."

"So it's me?... Ray told you, I can't help it a bit? Talk about the white meadow puddle incident?

"Bye! Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden!

Dusker screams like a panic at Marina's words, which were casually put out in her mouth.

Only Dasker, who usually doesn't scream about rare things, attracts Ray's interest, whose attitude was sitting next to the marina and watching the conversation between the two.

"The White Meadow Water Festival Incident?

That's what I said Ray, but for some reason I heard Ray whine like that. Dusker pulls his cheeks apart.

Is this something you shouldn't have asked?

I think so and turn my gaze next door, but all that was there was a Marina looking desperate to laugh as she shook her shoulders.

"Uh, Marina"

"... Mm, Kohon. Uh, forget about that for now. Now we'd better discuss that Whisp thing."

A marina that turns the subject back half forcefully.

I could understand that for Ray, but I could still have predicted that it would be better to do so than to imitate it like this.

As a result, Ray never mentions anything more than a white meadow watering incident, but reverts to the topic.

"Okay. Uh, for now, the passage that leads to the space where the Whisp is has been blocked by the Spirit Magic of the Marina, so I don't think it means you'll find it for a while. They're also cutting trees from the outside with efficiency in mind."

Ray tells Marina the first half and Dusker the second half.

Dasker, who heard that explanation, also nods at Ray's words, reassured by the fact that he's off topic from his black history.

"Right. Then I will tell the knights who are acting with them to stay away from the center. I don't think anyone would like to go to a place like that under the circumstances."

"I guess that is. Lizardman, the Green Man, or anyone else may be transferring.... Ah, but..."

"What's up?

Secondly, Dusker turns his gaze of doubt to Ray, who makes it look as if he noticed something.

Ray was slightly unsure if I could say this, but decided that I should say it once and for all and open my mouth.

"I believe Master Dusker has a report in there, but yesterday we protected the newly relocated Lizardman in the Trent Forest."

"Oh, I'm listening. Is that it?"

"I can't say for sure, but in my previous experience, mostly the greens would have transferred with me if Lizardman had transferred. For example, it is possible that the Green Man is still lost in the Trento Forest"

To Ray's explanation, Dusker's gaze gets tough.

That's completely different from when Marina was making fun of me earlier, my face as Lord of Gilm.

"Green man? If it's possible, I'd like to secure it here before the other forces come into contact."

For Dusker, the Green Man is overwhelmingly more valuable than the Lizardman.

Because if you have green people, that may be what makes it possible to grow precious plants like spices in the gilm.

It is true that Lizardman is useful as a force of war, but in the sense of force there are many adventurers only in the peripheral guilds.

It was greener than Lizardman who wanted Dusker's position at present than he had such a power.

... It is also significant that green people have the same appearance as humans.

At least if you were told which one looks more human, Lizardman or Greenman, pretty much everything would answer Greenman.

The difference is considerable.

Especially since it hasn't been that long since Lizardman became involved, so many people panic when they see that Lizardman is walking… not to mention being called a regular Lizardman, but even a Lizardman giant like Gaga.

This has been around for a while... I guess in a few months, it will be acceptable to some extent.

However, there should have been a few people who still couldn't accept Lizardman.

If this is a small number, what could still have happened, but unfortunately the number of Lizardmans who have transferred in this one case will be massive.

If all that happens is that Lizardman walks around freely in the guild or something, it will naturally be a noise.

... Other than that, I'm not as adorable as Seto is.

Although, Lizardman's children are very adorable.

"Right. I'll take a look around in my spare time and see if there's any green people."

"Please."

To Ray's words, Dusker groans briefly and bows his head.

Originally, it would be better not to imitate that someone in a position such as Uncle Borderline would bow his head so easily.

But I know that Dusker is also forcing Ray to do quite a bit.

That's why I bowed my head like this.

Dusker, with his head up, speaks with a difficult look of doubt.

"But you have a little doubt. By what criteria does Whisp perform the metastasis of being underground? Ray says, I guess Whisp's pretty out of magic, huh?

"I'm not the one, I have a master, to be exact.... I just unfortunately have no idea about that criterion. Master Dusker also saw why he bothered to transfer Lizardman again before his magic recovered."

"In the first place, the place where the lake existed is another world than the one where the Grand Dragonian Empire was, isn't it? Yet he transferred the Lizardmans again after the lake was transferred. Can that whisp be transferred from several worlds, or has it changed the world to one of the Grand Dragonian empires again?"

Unfortunately, Ray can't answer that question at the marina.

For Dusker, who didn't see Whisp in person in the first place, but just listened, there's no way he could have answered it further.

"Scholars are the ones who need to investigate the neighborhoods."

Dusker tells you in a way that makes you feel tired.

If you try to make it a dusker, this has made it increasingly necessary to prepare scholars and such.

If a scholar's research is successful, then that is enormous… it is certain to be more profitable than words can describe.

Even though it is not uncommon for spices that cannot be grown in this country to be worth the same amount of sand, if instead this country can monopolize substitutes that do not exist in this world, its profits are immeasurable.

Most of all, those who seek to plunder the profits will naturally come out where the profits are.

Fortunately, Dusker leads the Neutralists, one of the three main factions in the Kingdom of Mireana.

So there will be a multitude of people rubbing off, but not so… There is no one, but a fairly small number, who tries to take Dasker's, Guild interest from the grand front.

Nevertheless, the few of them can be no more alarmed than those with great power.

It is that, if the Kings knew what was going on around here, they would come up with various hands, whether directly or indirectly.

In case of trouble, it was necessary to thoroughly investigate the ability of Whisp.

at the hands of a trusted scholar, though conditionally.

"Fortunately, that Whisp didn't respond to me or Ray approaching... or Ray's master approaching it, especially something like this, did it? Then it wouldn't be that dangerous to do research, would it?... but it's possible that we didn't move because we have more than a certain amount of strength."

"Stop making unpleasant predictions. If it turns out to be true, it won't go out of style."

"Alas, it's natural to be vigilant about that area in advance, isn't it? Otherwise, you don't know when or what's gonna happen."

Ray thought of the word flag, but I'll keep it quiet for now, beyond saying it in this world doesn't make sense.

In this case, Ray doesn't even know if it will actually flag it. I don't know... Still, I'll tell you for once.

"I don't know if what Marina's saying is true or not, but I think you need more escorts than that's likely enough. Me, the marina, and the master. All three are pretty strong."

"... I think it's subtle if I put the strength of Ray and Marina in words that they're pretty strong."

In fact, Master...... I didn't know how strong the grimm was, Dusker, but I felt it would never fit with the expression that the strength of the rays and marinas was pretty strong.

Because if you're pretty strong in rays and marinas, you don't deserve the expression that the majority of adventurers in the guild are pretty strong.

"Really? Either way, I think you should have an escort so that Dear Dusker's credible scholar doesn't get hurt. I still don't know anything about that whisp. Worst case scenario. There's a chance that Whisper will try to get rid of the scholars and move them to the space where they are, not the Trent Forest, as before."

That could have been enough.

Until now, I didn't act that bold to look into Whisp, but when scholars are serious about looking into Whisp, there's a possibility of doing acts like trying to touch it directly.

Then Whisp also feels dangerous and doesn't necessarily transfer ferocious monsters and animals from other worlds to protect himself.

"Okay. There's a good chance Ray will be right, and besides, an escort would be mandatory for scholars."

Unlike when I was worried about choosing a scholar, this time I snort lightly.

If you try to make it a dusker, your men's knights have everything they can trust.

I don't have the overwhelming strength to ray or marina, but still have the strength to average Rank B to Rank C Adventurer.

More than that, you don't have to get lost like when it comes to choosing scholars.

"Have you noticed anything else?

"Right..."

The three of them, Ray, Marina and Dusker, then go on to talk about Whisp for a while.

Originally, Dusker should be very busy right now.

But whatever we do with those jobs, we need to talk about Whisp now.

So much for the Whisp thing, which has the ability to move it out of the other world.

"Maybe that Whisp... in some cases, we can not only transfer it from one world to another, but also from one world to another"

Hearing the words, Ray takes care not to put surprises on his face.

What Dusker said was because that's what he thought Ray might be... maybe really, but maybe it's possible.

Very unlikely.

That seemed like such a chance to win the lottery first class in terms of Ray's feeling.

In some cases, it might be lower.

Still, there was a good chance that maybe we could go back to Japan.

"Right. I was wondering if maybe we could do that. … I just find it quite difficult"

"I guess. I don't really think I can handle it that way either. But maybe... and I don't care enough to think so, do I?

"Right. Because hope is important."

That's what he said to Dusker, and actually told him to tell himself.

Ray was already more convinced than enough that he would continue to live in this world, but that's not why he doesn't want to go back to Japan.

But if you look at Ray now, you don't know who he was.

That's how Ray continued his conversation with Dusker.
