Legend

"Uh... Something like this makes me feel like I haven't been back in a long time"

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, ring his throat as Seto agrees.

After finishing my conversation with Dusker, I looked for him to carry the trees that he had felled, explain to those who were escorting him to the tower of his birth that he might return to Gilm today, that there might be a green man in the Trento woods... as a result, it was not until evening that he returned to the Marina's house.

As dusk was dyeing the surroundings red, when Ray, Marina and Seto entered the courtyard of the marina's house, there Elaine and Arla were conducting combat training.

Nevertheless, neither is training in the true sense of the word, demonstrating their original strength.

Moderately out of hand...... if I told you, something like a sport feeling mock fight.

Most importantly, Elaine deserves it, but Ara is also quite a fighter in life.

Those two are doing a mock fight, so what was there was pretty advanced content though.

"Ara is powerful, but she's immature in technology, isn't she?... I don't know what most of them would do with Ara's power."

The marina squeaks as she watches the mock fight between the two of them.

It's basically a marina that uses spiritual magic and bows as a weapon, but it's not like you can't even fight melee fights.

Nevertheless, that skill is never high.

Still, it's not hard to detect things like doing something with more force than technology to Ara's movements.

Ray, who was watching next door, also nods at the marina's words.

... but Ray didn't learn how to do physical surgery from anyone, but he was polished independently in action.

Basically, whatever the way your body moves, at the time you're using the Death Sickle size, there's definitely only half our way.

Not to mention that I'm currently also using a dusk spear in addition to that sickle death size.

Two spear streams of sickles and spears.

I honestly didn't think there was anyone who could teach me how to move the body of someone using such a weapon, and I wasn't actually there.

Nevertheless, that's never just a bad thing.

No one has ever fought anyone like that with a sickle and a spear.... or considerably less even if you were there.

I mean, we have no idea exactly what kind of attack they're going to make.

In battle, first-sight killing can be a very powerful weapon.

… although Ray's style of combat, with its deep red alias, is quite widespread with its flashy activity.

Rumors, however, become very perverse within spreading.

For things like getting bigger or smaller.

According to stories Ray had previously heard, there was such things as spewing and flying spears out of his mouth... and other methods of attack.

I even questioned what the hell would have happened if the rumors had spread, but Ray eventually concluded that perhaps the spear throw had spread to strange conditions in the middle of the rumor.

The use of a spear means that the motion is somewhat informative.

"Ara's power deserves to be called rigidity."

Ray looks at the mock battle as he returns that to Marina's words.

Ara's appearance was well enough to call her a beautiful woman.

In fact, according to what Ray heard from Ara, it's frequent for a man to tell you if you join a class of parties.

But Ara is a warrior in nature.

That's what you have as much power as you can crush your enemy's arms bone-by-bone.

Only Ara like that would really fight a battle that relied more on physical abilities than technology.

Of course a normal opponent...... compared to soldiers around there, I can tell you that Ara also has the skill to fight.

Still, from the eyes of those who have more than a certain strength, the way Ara fights still only seems to rely on her strength.

Fortunately in unhappiness, I guess it's in that you're not swinging by force, you're using a single stress.

It was that way of fighting, but it still doesn't extend to Elaine.

"It's over."

He takes a fist blow away, sticks his fist under his chin as he goes into his nostalgia, and Elaine squeaks.

"We lost."

Ara unfortunately declares her loss.

If you tried it on Ara, you wouldn't have originally thought you could beat Elaine.

It was lucky for Arla to still be able to eat up to some extent.

"I'm pretty sure Ara's getting stronger too....... yeah? Ray, are you back today?

That's how Elaine spoke to Ray as we watched her mock fight.

The words themselves were relatively unsatisfactory, but the expression has a strong colour that seems delightful.

"Oh. I've made a little progress with the metastasis. I thought we could take a break today."

"Progress?"

Elaine asks intriguing.

It was a pleasure to have Ray back, but at the same time Elaine has a role to play in gathering that information when something happens in Gilm.

In this sense, it is significant to be able to know information about the metastases that have been making the guilds noise lately.

... Although I also choose to give my parents information only to Ray, who has various circumstances that people can't tell me about.

Something I can't tell people...... for example, starting with the story that Ray came from different worlds, there are various other secrets besides that.

It is rounded off at Elaine's discretion.

"Oh.... in the meantime, I could discover the monster I was transferring"

"Ho."

I guess Ray's words were unexpected for Elaine as well.

There have been numerous metastases from different worlds so far, but it was not known who was doing it.

If that turns out to be the case, then Ray's right, there's been progress on this one... and I can tell you there's been a lot of progress on that, too.

"So? Who the hell... or what's the metastasis?

"It's a monster. Inside the underground space in the central part of Trento's forest, there was a huge whisp. Precious or superior species from its size... No, I think it's probably a rare species, but it was transferring it from another world to this one."

"... Whisp?

That's what Elaine says when she asks back, the color is incredible.

Naturally.

Whisp is a fairly well-known monster, but it still doesn't have the ability to transfer it from another world.

If they told me that Whisp like that was actually transferring me from another world to this one, I wouldn't have been able to tell them not to be surprised by that.

But the incredible gaze of Elaine and Arla is denied by Ray and Marina shaking their heads sideways together.

"You may not believe it, but it's definitely true.... but I didn't actually see you transfer it."

"Never seen it? Then..."

Maybe not.

That's what I tried to say, Elaine, but that's also denied in one word by Ray.

"My master found it for me. Maybe that's for sure."

... Ray also didn't actually see where Whisp was transferring it.

Still, I didn't know why I believed Ray was the work of Whisp, but I couldn't help but convince Elaine that the word master.

Elaine also has only counted how many times she has met Grimm.

But if Ray tells me Grimm taught me, even if it's Elaine, there's no option to be unconvinced.

Grimm had all that overwhelming presence.

"Right. Then there's no choice."

"Huh? Um, Master Elaine?

Seeing how Elaine was lightly convinced, Ara is a little confused.

If it was the usual Elaine, it would be because nothing would have convinced me so lightly.

But Elaine opens her mouth by shaking her neck sideways against Ara like that.

"I don't mind. I know what Ara wants to say, but Ray's explanation will convince me."

This would be the difference between those who know what Grimm is capable of and those who do not, those who have dealt with him directly and those who have not.

At least not least, Elaine was definitely good enough with that explanation.

Seeing Elaine convinced, she still said something. It was Arla who did so, but she doesn't open her mouth any further to deciding that she won't listen to me no matter what she says in the current situation.

I guess Ray's master has something to do with this neighborhood, too.

"So, as long as it's clear who's making the metastasis, what are we going to do? Seeing how Ray is, it doesn't mean he knocked him out and finished... though?

"I've had a lot of trouble explaining that area, so I'll explain it with you at dinner when Vihera and Büne get back. Anyway, I haven't been back here in days, so I just want to make it a little extravagant today."

Do you mind? and Ray pointing his gaze at the marina.

Sometimes it's basically a marina that cooks in a row.

Having received such Ray's gaze, Marina nods without looking particularly lost.

Even for the marina, Ray hasn't been back in a few days, so nothing went wrong as much as making dinner a little extravagant.

"So when are Vihera and Bühne coming back? Still looking around today, huh?

With the work that Vihera and Bühne can do, the most sought after would still be to look around.

That's what I assure you, Ray, but I don't see any other faces denying it.

I guess it's because I understand that if two people, Vihella and Büne, actually tell me what the best job in the Guild is right now, it's still around the corner.

Of course, in practice, crusade requests also normally exist.

Alternatively, there was a request for material from a particular monster.

But if you try it on Vihela, there will be more problems than such requests...... and it is natural to think that the outlook around the city is interesting, often like the proud ones of power in many of the problems will break out.

Because there are many in the Guild today, many of whom call themselves handymen, and many who do not speak but are actually handymen.

Not all of them cause problems, but naturally many of them are stronger than being skilled as adventurers, and there is no way that such people will come together and not cause disturbances.

It is also true that, for the most part, they are the only ones who cannot satisfy Vihera.

"I'm talking about Vihera, so I feel like I'm making a commotion out of myself in search of an interesting fight.... That's my fault."

"Right. I think Ray's right. It's my fault."

"Hmm. I think it's my fault too"

"Uh... well, I'll just say I'm sorry too"

Everyone who knows the character of Vihera says so.... exactly, you're right that I was trying to tell myself.

Note that the two Seto and Yellow, who did not pinch their mouths in the Rays' conversation, had sometimes been there for the first time in a few days, or were running around the courtyard amicably.

I guess we were just glad to see each other for the first time in a few days, just because we think of each other as important friends.

Watching how those two look, Ray opens his mouth to change his mood.

"Anyway, you're not arguing that we're going to make dinner a little extravagant today, are you? Then get ready quickly."

"Right. But when it comes to sumptuous food, what dish do you make it?

"Right.... How about cooking with gamelion meat or something?

To Ray's words, everyone who was on this occasion - because of Ray's mind, even Seto and Yellow, who should have been playing - showed how happy they seemed.

Naturally. Gamelion meat is just such a fine ingredient.

It is an ingredient that can only be caught in winter, and Gamelion also has such a vicious character that it does not seem to be a monster of ravioli.

Naturally the meat can only be eaten during that season.

Except for the story if processed like dried meat, the flavor really drops compared to raw meat, and many people want to eat Gamellion meat raw.

Smoking makes it more sunny and flavorful, so some people process it there.

"Agreed. Shall we make it steamy, then? Ray, will you get the kiln out? And you did store salamina leaves in mysteries before, didn't you?

Salamina leaves are leaves with a fairly large and refreshing aroma.

In the sense of ray, leaves shaped close to lotus leaves are preferably used when wrapping ingredients such as meat, fish and vegetables into steam grills.

Ray nodded at the marina's words and removed the various ingredients from the mistering, which he had been instructed to do.
