"Ahhh!
The moment I got out of the wheat pavilion at dusk, such a scream leaked out of Anastasia's mouth.
... Nevertheless, that scream is not a scream from fear.
Ning Ro, you can say a scream full of joy.
At the end of Anastasia's gaze are gathered children, adults, old men and women.
Not only humans, but also many such as beasts and dwarves.
It was Seto who was sleeping at the center of those people.
Many people gave me dishes like sandwiches and skewers, and I was delighted to eat them... I saw such a ceto and a delightful scream came out of Anastasia's mouth.
"Uh, you know about me, don't you? Didn't Master Dusker tell you about Seto?
That's what I asked Anastasia, Ray, but Anastasia at heart goes into Seto as if she hadn't heard Ray's words like that.
Those who enjoyed themselves around Seto are astonished by Anastasia, who suddenly appeared.
Naturally. Because all of a sudden a beautiful woman like you rarely see came into our way.
Those who were in a hurry in the direction of Anastasia's progress vacate the place.
... some of them were thinking about hitting Anastasia as it were, cutting it off and approaching you... but before it was transferred to execution, someone nearby would pull its body and withdraw it from the direction of Anastasia's progress.
"Griffon... he's been alive for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him again"
Ray reacts to the words of Anastasia, who tells him so while looking at Seto.
Also. That's what Anastasia just said.
This means that you have encountered Griffon before.
Not to mention that Anastasia is a scholar that Dusker trusts, and she's trying to get you to look at Whisp.
Which means that's all I'm familiar with monsters.
(That, isn't this bad?
The question of such a ray is proven by the following Anastasian words:
"... oh? Are you sure, Griffon? No, it's a griffon on the outside, but it's very different from the griffon I know."
Ray pinches his mouth aggressively at Anastasia, who looks surprised.
"That's right. Seto is not just a griffon. It's a rare species that uses a wide variety of skills."
Failure to fit and being different from normal griffons is deluded by the fact that it is a rare species.
Seto is a griffon created by Ray in Warcraft and, naturally, is not like a regular griffon.
But Griffon is a Rank A monster in the first place, the first person a normal person can't see.
That's why you can't tell if you're different from a normal griffon.
It was significant that Anastasia spotted it because she was a researcher familiar with monsters and lived a long time as an elf, so she had met Griffon by chance.
"Heh, yeah. Because rare species are different from one individual to another, it's very rare to think of a rare Griffon species, right?
Ray relieves himself when he hears such Anastasia's words.
From the way things are now, it seems to me that we recognize Ceto as a rare griffon species.
I hear such an anastasian explanation and get the same look that the others around me were convinced of.
At first, some people had uninteresting thoughts about Anastasia, who had suddenly penetrated, but watching Ray, who was able to follow Seto, speak normally without looking particularly angry, could have predicted that he knew Ray.
If that's how you listen to the two of them, it's easy to predict that they're describing Seto and possibly a researcher or something.
... Though many of those adult men were blinded by the beauty of Anastasia.
"Seto, good for you. I hear you're rare."
"Grrrrrr?...... Grrrrrrrr!
Seto, who understood that he had been praised, snarls his throat with joy.
If you try Ceto, I'm glad you're complimented.
And to Ray, that's amazing! and rub his face to brag.
"... I can't believe I miss you so much... Hey, Ray. How did you get this griffon... Seto? You turned that ceto into an obedient demon?
"Huh? Oh. Seto grew up when I was a kid. We've always grown up together, so we can understand nature and each other."
"... yes..."
Anastasia, who nodded at Ray's words, compares Ray to Seto in a slightly bewildered manner.
What Ray and Seto actually understand is obvious from the way things are doing now.
That's why Ray doubts that Anastasia showed confusion, even if only a little.
(Did I explain something wrong? No, I don't think so. But why did Anastasia show confusion?
Since Ray was a child living under his master, Seto has always been with him.
That's why Seto nostalgic for Ray and stays with him as an obedient demon.
That is the explanation Ray has spoken many times since he came to the Guild, and it was no surprise that many of those in the Guild had heard such an explanation of Ray.
But now that I've heard Ray's explanation, Anastasia definitely has a strange look on her face.
Ray doesn't even know why I got that look. I don't know... maybe I said something I shouldn't have?
With that in mind, Ray talks to Anastasia.
Worst of all, because even if Anastasia noticed something about Ray and Seto, she didn't want them to say it in a place with so many people like this.
I guess I didn't even understand Ray's feelings like that, but Anastasia nods at Ray's words.
"Okay. Then you won't be able to do this forever, and it's time to go.... Still, how do you get to your destination?
"You're on Ceto.... Well, if you really don't like Anastasia, you have the means to ride a horse or a carriage..."
"I'll ask you in Seto."
Before Ray's words were finished, Anastasia told him so.
I guess that's what you thought you wanted to try on Seto.
As a researcher familiar with monsters, it was in a sense a natural result.
Still, given the current series of events, Ray becomes just a little more alert.
Nevertheless, even as Ray, there is no better option to not take Anastasia than to need to find out about Whisp in the Trent Forest.
"Okay. Let's go, then.... Here, get in."
"Yes."
I guess I was listening to Ray and Anastasia and figured out what the Rays were trying to do.
Seto rises from his sleeping state and gives himself up for easy riding in front of Ray and Anastasia.
Ray and Anastasia spanned such a ceto's back.
Some of those who were around Seto had an unfortunate look on their face, but I know that Ray and Seto are going to be working, so no one has said anything yet that I told them not to go.
... some of the kids were still hanging on to say something but when Seto rang his throat he said nothing more and waved silently.
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
Ringing like that, Seto leaves Ray and Anastasia on his back and heads to the main entrance.
This is a guild, so I wouldn't run all over the city at full speed, naturally.
... Seto walking lightly early is not that uncommon in the guilds.
But so I gathered the gaze of many... because it was Ray and Anastasia on Seto's back.
This is the usual face: Elaine, Ara, Vihera… or if it were Ara or Buune, we wouldn't have gathered that much gaze.
But this time it's none of those people on the back of Ray... it's the first elf that the majority of those in this guild see.
It's not just an elf, either, but someone who looks like he deserves to be called an intellectual beauty.
And there are many who are surprised that Ray is with such a person.
Many people don't know about their relationship with Elaine, but they have the same party with Marina and Vihera.
If you are familiar with the information, some of you will know that Ray is entering and leaving the marina's house.
So it stands out, as a matter of course, that you are walking on Seto's back with your new beauty.
"Damn, why... why all the rays..."
"Not at all. Already... yes, I don't know... jealous"
"I won't deny that. But with Ray is Marina, the former Alliance Master, and Vihera, the battle freak, right? Because she's so beautiful, she has such a strong habit... No, I think being with a beauty who's too strong a habit sounds like a lot of trouble."
The two men I was talking to do convince me deeply of my friend's words.
Make it a marina. Make it a vihella, both of you are welcome to deal with overnight, but when it comes to dating, it's definitely going to be tough in many ways.
Speaking of personality, I'm sure, but I have a good personality to say that AK is strong.
It's true that Ray, who's partying with those two, has to think so when he's awesome in a way.
... Ray kept walking towards the main entrance with Anastasia, not realizing that he was envious or sympathetic to strangers.
"Ah."
Ray accidentally raises his voice as he walks out the main gate of Gilm - and, naturally, as he exits - on his way to the forest of Trent.
"What's up?
I guess I heard Ray. Anastasia asks, who was able to ride Seto and that also seemed satisfied with Seto walking.
But Ray shook his head sideways at what he heard from behind.
"No, it's nothing"
No way, you should not tell me that you were attacked on your way to Gilm today and there must have been a good number of bodies here, etc. Decide and delude me.
If you didn't say anything, you wouldn't even think about having a body here.... No, there are traces of blood everywhere, so if you're sharp, you might realize something happened here.
Fortunately, Anastasia behind Ray seems happy to be on Ceto, and she doesn't look like she noticed any blood marks around her.
Because the guards who came at that time captured the living, and those who were corpses carried them from here.
"Seto, I don't want to be found by any of the adventurers in the garrison or escort. On a course I won't see you, please."
"Gru!"
To Ray's word, I'll take care of Seto! and squeal, and head straight in a different direction than usual.
Go into the woods from where they are not.
That's how you get inside the Trento woods, Anastasia also begins to look at the elves alone, not just the comfort of Seto's ride, but the surroundings.
"This forest..."
He was an anastasia who cut the words on the way, but I can tell the rest of it, too, Ray.
I suppose you want to say that Trent Forest is not a normal forest.
In fact, given that such forests were made in the short term, this is by no means an anastasian mistake.
There was no way Anastasia noticed the tower of her birth, which seemed far away, because of its distractions from the woods and Seto.
"Oh, hey! You're not slowing down!?
Seto doesn't slow down at all, even if he walks into Trent's woods.
Normally, it's not a strange speed to hit a tree, but Seto moves around trying to sew between the trees when that doesn't matter.
Anastasia was also scared at first that there was no way she was going to hit the tree at all, but after a few minutes she calmed down.
Although, I don't know what's actually going on because that's just what it looks like on the surface.
A few minutes go by, and eventually the Rays arrive at their destination.
"... here? Doesn't look like anything, though?
"Marina... my people's spiritual magic hides the entrance."
Heard of spiritual magic, Anastasia looks around just a little intrigued.
Again, Anastasia is also the only elf that can use spiritual magic.
But that intriguing look ends in a matter of seconds.
Immediately surprised...... and turned into a difficult look. By the time I'm past a minute, I open my mouth like I gave up.
"No, you can't. If it's hidden by spiritual magic, I thought I'd know.... whoever did this, you're so smart. Did I say marina?
Ray nodded to Anastasia, who showed how she was doing.
