Legend

Fortunately, or as Ray said, or even if Anastasia and Fana entered the premises of the Marina house, there was no way the Spirit would do anything in particular.

It was Ray who said it was okay, but maybe... really maybe, but he was still more relieved that he couldn't say that the Spirit was unlikely to attack Fana, wearing a suspicious mask to see.

It was helpful that the Spirit decided that Fana was not an enemy, even if she didn't have to be friendly to be good...

But I was expecting you not to judge Ray as an enemy at the time he was with me.

Together, he takes two people, Anastasia and Fana, and Ray heads with Seto to the courtyard of the Marina's house.

There is also the reason that Seto is there, basically in the marina's house the courtyard is used in the same way as the living room.

Nevertheless, Anastasia misses Ray's behavior like that...... but at the next moment she opens her eyes to surprise.

Because the courtyard had amazing spirits gathered from Anastasia.

"This... I can't believe you kept Spirit Magic for so long..."

"In the meantime, it's definitely an easy place to do it.... Here we go."

That said, Ray pulls Anastasia, and Seto pushes Fana into the courtyard.

Once inside the courtyard, it cools down as soon as possible.

Even in the spring, if the weather permits during the day, the heat still lingers in the evening.

But as soon as we entered the courtyard, the heat disappeared.

It's just amazing what Anastasia can do to the courtyard of a marina house that is kept in a cool, awesome environment.

I was quite confident in the treatment of spiritual magic myself, and at the same time Ray had asked me how many spiritual magic users Marina was, most importantly the moment I saw this house I was reminded of the strength of Marina.

But still, until I entered this courtyard, I didn't fully understand the marina's strength, so I understood.

Anastasia's strength makes it impossible to imitate a courtyard like this, although not very much.

If we were to create a situation like this with spiritual magic, how strong the hell should we be?

With such questions in mind, Anastasia looks in the courtyard.

... and there was a table in the courtyard, where you should call yourself a beautiful woman... No, there was a person there with an overwhelming beauty who could only be described as a beautiful woman.

The beauty was reading the paperwork on the table... I guess she felt signs of people.

Fu, look up...... when I see Ray and Seto, smile a little surprised but happy, followed by a gaze at Anastasia and Fana, I get a surprised look.

Anyway, Anastasia reacted to that extent even when she saw a woman in a mask like Fana because she was used to all sorts of things in the presence of Ray... yes, I guess she was really used to all sorts of things.

"Is that it? Is that just Elaine? What happened to Ara?

"Oh, Ara would make some tea...... apparently you're back"

Elaine turns to you when she sees Arla show up with a pot of tea from the marina's house.

Ray also realizes what Ara looks like, and at the same time Ara realizes that there are other faces besides Elaine in the courtyard.

Although, I saw Ray and Seto, so there was nothing particularly noisy about it.

... although Anastasia, anyway, had a frigid gaze at the fana wearing the mask.

"Lord Ray, where are you?

"It's the scholar and his assistant who will look into that underground space. Anastasia and Fana. Anastasia is an elf and she specializes in spiritual magic, so I thought I'd give her a little meeting with the marina."

"... I see"

Ara didn't seem entirely convinced by Ray's words either, but still, for now, stop being openly suspicious and go back into the house to prepare tea for those other than Elaine.

(That's all you've grown.)

Look behind Ara, I think Ray is stingy.

First to Ara... and when I met Elaine, Ara was suddenly struck by Ray, who misunderstood that Ray and Elaine had been made into something after seeing each other blind.

Compared to that time, it would definitely be a much more convenient response.

Nevertheless, unlike when we first met, Ara is now the leader of the Knights of the Guards of Elaine, so it would be natural not to act in a far-fetched manner.

... Though I honestly didn't think that the Knights captain would leave the Knights at heart to the vice president and be with Elaine in the Guild like this.

"Look, it looks like Ara's treating us to tea, and you can't do this all the time until the marina gets back. Then why don't you sit down and take your time?... Fanas seem to be the limit."

Anastasia turns her gaze to Fana on Ray's words.

Then there was the stranger… it was also a beauty until it was overwhelming, or else there was the unknowingly trembling figure of Fana in the figure of Arla, who had turned a sharp gaze on herself, even for a moment.

It is the face that cannot be seen with a mask, but I can predict even Ray, who has just met him, that if there had not been a mask, he would have been able to see him pale.

"Right. If we keep this up, Fana might collapse, and let me interrupt."

Anastasia moves toward the table by pulling her fana half forcefully, showing her attitude that she doesn't want to go, shaking her head small.

It is common that elves are basically weak, but Anastasia's arm power to pull the fana seems beyond the bounds of the elves from Ray's point of view.

That's how Anastasia, who forced Fana to sit in a chair, sits next to Fana herself telling her not to miss Fana.

Ray sat next to Elaine because of his place for now.

When she makes sure everyone has sat in a chair, Elaine smiles and speaks to Anastasia.

"Welcome, should I say?

"Right. I'd be happy to welcome you. But you didn't think General Princess was in the Guild. And Dusker didn't say anything."

"Well, I think there was a brilliant researcher named Anastasia in the Wang capital, but it's also surprising that such a person is in the Guild."

"Oh, it's your first time, isn't it?

"The name Anastasia is famous. I've heard of it several times."

Ray, who was listening to the conversation between Elaine and Anastasia, understands that Anastasia is a famous person.

Until now Ray's impression was that Anastasia was only the person Dasker took care of.

It can also be expected that even famous people are not celebrities whose faces are known to everyone, but perhaps people who know them.

"It's an honor to know my name."

"Um, especially the paper previously published at the Society on the top and rare species of goblins was brilliant"

"... Also, you read a much less popular paper. Normally, I think I'd look more at another paper."

"Heh, it's a Goblin paper. That's kind of interesting."

Ray cracks into the conversation.

That's not flattery or anything, it's an unmistakable fact.

Because goblins are the closest threat.

They show up everywhere, they increase at some point, they take away women and children.

There would be nothing wrong with having more than a certain amount of skill.

But that's why it's the worst if you try someone who doesn't have more skill than a certain amount.

It would be interesting for Ray if it were to be such a paper on the top and rare species of goblins.

"Dusker picked it up and put it in the library, so if you're curious, check it out later."

Blink...... but were you glad they told you you were interested in your paper, Anastasia tells you that while loosening your cheeks just a little.

From there the conversation proceeds with each other… Fanas of an introverted character look around them restlessly.

If you try to fana, it is surprising and in a sense only horror that Anastasia, a researcher who is face-to-face and the same as herself, has arrived at a table with a celebrity named Elaine...... who is also like a person whose name is known even to the surrounding countries.

That was the fana of how confused she was, but she turns to you looking just a little stunned when Ara returns to put tea on the table.

... If you only pointed your gaze, you wouldn't have known because you were wearing a mask.

"Go ahead. I don't know if I can drink in that mask."

Telling Fana that, Ara also places tea in front of Ray and Anastasia and also exchanges the tea of Elaine that was cold.

The last available seat...... Prepare a cup of tea for your seat and you will sit there.

"So what did you find out about that Whisp?

"No, you haven't figured anything out yet. I'm just gonna take Fana as my assistant, so we're gonna make some progress."

With that said, Anastasia turns her gaze to Fana.

Elaine follows that gaze and looks at Fana too, but Fana doesn't look like she's moving while grabbing a cup with tea.

"Um, are you okay, is she? In the first place, why are you wearing such a mask?

"Yeah. I have a very good ability as a researcher, but I have a very familiar and intrepid personality. Enough to finally be able to use this mask to talk to people.... I'm very capable of being a researcher."

To Anastasia, who looks like she said it twice because it's important, Elaine wonders what to say when she hears it... eventually, she opens her mouth just a little modestly.

"Can you do it as a researcher with such an insipid personality?

"It must be difficult. That's why even if I was capable, I wouldn't have stood out in the gilm. But as my assistant, there's no problem."

To Anastasia's words, Fana moves her body as illuminated.

... but Ray didn't even know if it was really coming from the lights.

"I see.... I want you to be honest with me. What the hell do you think that Whisp is?

"Whatever you say, you're in a little trouble. I can only say that because it's a rare species."

"Because it's a rare species of Whisp, does it have the ability to transfer it from another world? Or could any monster have the same ability as that whisp if it's a rare species?

"You don't know where it is. That's it, unless you look more closely into Whisp. It just hurts that you can't let Whisper force you to do it."

"... well, if anything happened to that whisp, it would definitely be a big problem"

Ray immediately agrees with Anastasia's words.

So far, that Whisp is the only one with the ability to transfer something from another world.

It would be unacceptable for Dusker if he did harm to that whisp poorly... or in some cases killed it.

Most importantly, it seemed to Ray that Anastasia would not have handily responded if Anastasia hadn't deliberately imitated killing Whisper than she was a thankless Dasker and had been forced to do Whisper research by Anastasia like that.

"That's right. So I have to do something to find out not to harm Whisp... but then, naturally, the research will go slower. So, this is just my personal prediction, but still want to hear it?

"Uhm."

Elaine nods instantly at Anastasia's words and waits for Anastasia to open her mouth so that other faces agree with it.

Even Fana seemed to be looking forward to what Anastasia would say.

"Whisp, so I don't think I've become such a rare species. Perhaps even other monsters have a surprisingly low probability of becoming such a rare species with miraculous possibilities."

"... like a miracle, huh? Well, if it wasn't for that chance, wouldn't it be strange to have ever produced a rare species with the same abilities"

Ray murmured so much at Anastasia's words, and the others nodded to agree with it.
