Legend

"Oh, there's someone new."

Ray, who was having a conversation in the courtyard of Marina's house, turns his gaze to those who spoke.

There he was, just the person Ray expected...... the marina.

As usual, wearing a party dress that looks very unsuitable for everyday wear can be described as marina-like.

Ray, who was sitting at the table, waves a gentle greeting to such a marina.

"There you are. So?

Gently speaking to Anastasia, Marina sits next to Ray.

To such a marina, Ray takes the cold fruit water out of the mysteries and gives it to him.

"Hmm... that's delicious. I knew this was the end of the day cup.... Well, what about you?

"It's Anastasia and Fana. We're working with you to find out what's going on in Trent Forest's underground space."

Say so and explain the situation lightly.

If they explain why they came here to look into Whisp, they nod as the marina was convinced too.

"Well, I understand myself that my spiritual magic is so special. If you're curious, it wouldn't be strange to be interested."

"It would help if you could say that.... I'm pretty good at spiritual magic when I look like this, but the marina has a different strength than that."

"Oh, can I think of that as a compliment?

Naturally.

Anastasia snorts at words like that.

"In the first place, versatility, like that used in this house in normal spiritual magic… no, should I say liberty. I can't do that. I just want to know how the hell I can do this... but if I do, you won't tell me, will you?

"Right. But I'm not doing anything special..."

To that word in the marina, really? and Anastasia gives a surprise look.

Something similar to the spiritual magic you use.

Because such an image was found in the spiritual magic used by the marina.

Even though I'm told I didn't do anything special, I can't honestly nod at it.

"Then why is Marina's Spirit Magic so special?"

"Around there, you could say personality, right? After all, it's up to people to hang out with the Spirit. Those who are good at it will be happy to hear this favor from the Spirit, and those who are not good at it will have difficulty making their favors heard.... I don't know."

In that way, the two people who use Spirit Magic begin a discussion about their Spirit Magic in each of them.

But if Anastasia were to concentrate only on what is of interest to her, Fana, the people-to-people, would have trouble figuring out what to do.

With Anastasia, you can provide more or less topics from it, and it's not impossible to talk to others, but unfortunately, as things are now, it's unlikely to be possible to expect that.

Fana, who can't even talk to the people around her from herself, just had to shut up and watch what the others were doing...

"Gru?"

What happened to Seto, who accidentally came near Fana? and call out.

There is also a figure of yellow on the back of such a ceto, and if the face of a ceto enthusiast sees it, he is so adorable that it is not strange to blow his nose out.

"Pretty."

If you were a familiar fana, but you had a counterpart in front that wasn't someone named Seto and Yellow, you wouldn't show up so nervous.

Gently reaching out, Fana touches Seto's head.

Fana also naturally knew more about Seto than she lived in Gilm.

I have seen its adorability from afar and have wanted to stroke it.

However, for the severely people-acquainted Fana, it was not possible to go to the side of Seto, where a large crowd was always gathered.

As a result, Fana, who was able to touch Seto for the first time today, smiles happily under her mask.

… although no one else could have known about it more than wearing a mask.

"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!

"Yikes!

Seto, who was being caressed in silence, accidentally pulls Fana's clothes with that couch.

It was a bit of a surprise fana because it was a sudden action, but I still didn't have to worry about the clothes breaking or anything because pulling clothes isn't that much effort.

"What's going on?

"You want me to play with you. Sounds like you liked it a lot."

"Huh..."

I meant to talk to Seto, but I was a little surprised by the reply I heard from somewhere else altogether, and I turn my gaze to you.

Then there, while eating the dried fruit I guess I took it out of Mystering at some point, Ray looked out toward Fana.

"Uh, the... you liked it?

Fana was able to speak to Ray because she had some experience of talking to him.

To such a fana, Ray nods.

"As far as this goes, I guess so. But that's not so funny because Seto and Yellow are nostalgic. Anastasia is like that, and if Fana doesn't mind, would you play with Seto or Yellow?

Fana is a little confused by Ray's words and turns her gaze to Seto.

Then, Seto, who turns to his circular eyes, meets his eyes... Eventually, he cannot resist that gaze, and he nods and rises.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

"Cu! Cu! Cu!

Not only Seto but the yellow on his back joyfully rattles his throat at how such a fana looks.

To the loveliness of the two, Fana runs around the courtyard, lightening her footsteps just a little.

"You've taken Seto."

"If you're gonna say that, so are the yellows, right?

When Elaine hangs such a voice on Ray, who was dropping off Fana, to a slight tease mix, Ray also returns the word lightly to it.

Elaine grins back at Ray's words and carries Ara's brewed tea to her mouth.

"So, did Ray find out anything about that Whisp?

"I'm not a researcher or anything. What the hell do you expect from me?"

"Hmm. But in Ray's case, whether you like it or not, you'll get caught up in all sorts of things naturally, right?

If you say so, it's hard to argue with you as Ray as well.

In fact, a few years after Ray came to this world called Elgin, if he asks me how much trouble I've been in so far, I'll have to give him back enough to be bothered to answer.

The troubles involved, in simple things, are to some extent attacked by bandits, but when it comes to big things, that's the war between the Kingdom of Mireana and the Bestian Empire.

Big to small, that's what's gotten me into countless trouble.

Given the circumstances around it, that's not why Elaine can't understand what she's trying to say.

"Uh... in the meantime, there's nothing particularly involved about this one.... Well, if you say you're involved in the Zozo et Lizardman thing, the Green Man thing, the Lake thing, maybe you're involved."

Pfft.

Elaine laughs at Ray's words like that.

From Elaine's point of view, that's because I can tell you're in enough turmoil.

Although Elaine has been involved in a wide variety of disturbances since she started acting with Ray.

"Let's just leave the matter at bay. So for once I ask, is it okay that Ray is staying here today? But I'm also living here."

Elaine tries to hide her expectations and joy, but asks in a way that she can't hide completely.

When talking to other nobles, Elaine also tries not to put her emotions on her face, but if the person she talks to is Ray, she will still be a lot different on her own.

To Elaine like that, Ray nods back.

"Don't be. As far as Anastasia's concerned, it's not very good, but we're not going to be able to go back to the tower of birth."

Discussions on spiritual magic are still taking place between Anastasia and the Marina.

The content was a lot of jargon, and Ray couldn't tell by the inability to use spiritual magic, but nevertheless we both discussed it... or if we saw that we were arguing, I guess it was full content.

(Is this what debates are like?... As far as these two are concerned, there doesn't seem to be a problem, okay?)

Having seen the two, Ray turns his gaze to Elaine again.

"Well, it's like that"

"Apparently so"

To Ray's words, Elaine nods as she was convinced too.

If you try to pull Anastasia in the current situation, you could even be attacked from the marina if you do poorly.

That's all, the current two have words to discuss, debate, debate, and manifest their current situation, but that's how they are enthusiastic.

"Well, dinner's going to be a little extravagant today,"

Earla, who was listening to Ray and Elaine's conversation, says so with pleasure.

It's also my pleasure to make Elaine happy.

... There are also some reasons why Ray can eat more delicious dishes than usual.

"Luxury. Some fish caught in the lake for once... you think I could use it?

"I don't know what to do."

There's no way to think about it, and Ara answers instantly.

As for being entrusted with Elaine's escort, feeding Elaine a suspicious thing, such as fish from different worlds, was a matter to be definitively stopped.

"Did the Rays eat it?

I saw how Ara was. That's what Elaine asks Ray.

Unknown ingredients, so I guess Ray ate it, naturally, that's what he said.

That's not a question, it's more right, like confirmation.

Ray nods to Elaine's words like that, and this one again, naturally.

"Oh. That was delicious. With that lake, even the guilds are likely to have more opportunities to eat fish than ever before."

"... but?

"Still no good. In Lord Ray's case, it's obviously not normal, is it? It's very unacceptable to imitate that Lord Ray is safe to eat and trusts him to eat."

I assure you so, Elaine shows just a little bit of dissatisfaction.

Still, I know Ara is saying that for herself, so I don't directly express my dissatisfaction with it.

"If you're a fish, that's not Anastasia. Researchers are looking into it, so it's not too late to wait for the results.... Oh, and with that said, it looks like the monsters in the lake don't have demon stones after all. I've tried knocking down some monsters, but so far I haven't found any demon stones."

"It must be another headache for the adventurers."

Elaine also has a strong understanding of adventurers now, regardless of what she used to be.

Naturally, it's knowledge gained because the man I love is an adventurer.

Know it or not, Ray nods at Elaine's words.

"That's right. The most expensive seller of monster materials is the Demon Stone, after all. Without it, there could be fewer adventurers to defeat even with more monsters on the lake"

"But is it a lake in another world? If so, the material for the monsters there are researchers, alchemists, pharmacists… I think a lot of people would want anything else?

"Well, I hope so.... just maybe publish the lake as being of a different world... duh!

In the middle of the conversation, Ray grabs the flying pebble.

"You were late, Vihera. And Buune."

"Right. If Ray was here, I would have thought we should have done something about that nonsense quicker."

Vihera, who came into the courtyard in such a way as to do something unfortunate, sits straight in the chair next to Ray.

I guess I just finished my job. Vihella's sweat and body odor mixed...... then the smell, which is never uncomfortable, slightly irritates Ray's nose.

"Ray? What's going on?

"No, it's nothing.... So you came back late for some reason?

"Yeah, a couple of Dwarves got into a lot of trouble with the way things were going, and they got into a brawl."

Heard of a brawl, Elaine talks before Ray opens his mouth.

"If it's a brawl, isn't it a favorite for Vihera?

"Right. I won't deny that.... but if I knew Ray was coming, I would have prioritized this one.... So? What about them?

Vihera asks Ray as she sees Anastasia arguing over the marina and spiritual magic and Fana playing with Seto and Yellow with Büne at some point.
