Legend

The assassin, carried by Ray and guards, was safely transported inside the stuffing.

I guess it was big in this case that the interrogators were in the jar.

At first I thought I'd wait for Ray to get the information out here as well, but the interrogation takes a few hours... in some cases it can take a few days, so as Ray, I can't wait here all the time.

So when I got the information out, I told him so he could tell me later, and then I left the jar with Seto.

"Well, where are we going? I don't feel like buying or eating because that's what happened on the way to buying or eating.... Do you want to go back to the birthday tower now?

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto nods, although he seems a little sorry.

Even for Seto, the earlier exchange must have been like being watered down by a pleasant mood.

"Okay,...... so do we at least buy something appropriately as a souvenir? That's about it."

That's what I told him. Ray goes to the dining room several times before with Seto and buys stewed oak meat.

This stewed oak meat and long stewed with vanilla makes it a very soft dish.

Western-style braised horns is the most correct expression?

Beyond being western-style, it is not simmered in a soy sauce-based sauce, but seasoned with sauce.

But this is pretty good.

That's enough for even adventurers, knights, and Lizardmans who are escorts at the birthday tower to eat with enthusiasm.

That's why you should buy large quantities of stewed oak meat.

... purely because I also like Ray and Seto.

(Because it's western, what do you care about bread? Oh, but there's a pork stew or something, and given the circumstances around it, isn't that weird?

With that in mind, Ray heads with Seto to the Tower of Birth.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, grrr"

Seto, flying towards the Trent Forest, sounds his throat with joy.

Stewed oak, like a western-style braised corner, is one of Seto's considerable favorites.

So I guess Ray bought it in bulk and made me look forward to the meal.

To Ceto, who looks happy, Ray strokes Ceto's neck in front of him, even though he is only a little shuddered.

... I was Ray pointing his gaze at him, but still like simmering oak meat, just like Ceto.

There are several stores that serve similar dishes, but for Ray, the dish from the store I bought this time is the one that suits my taste best.

It would also be a major feature because it is well simmered with flavoured vegetables when boiled down, or because there is no smell of fat at all.

Incidentally, boiled juice with oak meat boiled down with flavoured vegetables seems to be used for another dish due to the fact that the stock is out accordingly, but Ray has unfortunately never eaten that dish.

"Oops, you've arrived"

If the tower of birth itself is flying in the sky, it stands out quite a bit, and besides that, there are vast lakes on its side, some slimes that are still burning.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have no trouble marking?

With that questionable Ray on his ass, Seto descends toward the ground.

Those who find Seto welcome him with a big wave.

Adventurers aren't the only ones waving. There was also the appearance of Lizardman.

Most importantly, I'm happy because Ray would be able to have a delicious meal.

When I landed on the ground that way, it was... the knight who came first.

Open your mouth just looking a little worried.

"What's going on? Sounds like it was a long time ago."

"Uh... I'm having a little trouble."

"Problem? Could something have happened to those nobles?

In those words, Ray shook his neck to the side... saying so and realizing that there was no such thing as those nobles or private soldiers.

"What about those nobles?

"A carriage came from Gilm, and I took him.... but it won't be that big of a problem."

"... it won't be a big problem?

"I guess it's more right that you can't do it exactly. As for this case, it will also work with factional power relations."

I wasn't even slightly dissatisfied with the word, but as Ray, I can't complain about it.

Because as a neutral, I know that there is really too much power difference between kings and factions.

Of course, if the aristocracy were to lend its full strength, it would not be impossible to confront the Kings either.

But that's as hard as it's impossible.

Many aristocrats are still insulting or hostile to the neutrals, and would not tolerate it first where the Duke of Kelevel said he would work with the neutrals against the Kings.

No, I might tolerate it if it's superficial to be precise, but then I could do things like deliberately out of hand.

Given the circumstances around it, neither can the Duke of Kelevel be forced to co-operate with the neutrals.

Even if the Duke of Keller himself likes the neutrals, he cannot first imitate that the influence of the aristocracy is diminished as a result.

Because the Duke of Kelp is the one who leads the aristocracy.

"Right.... Well, I don't care what happens to that nobleman"

While listening to the knights, it's like Dasker was normally going to be hostile, no matter what it was, whether it was the Kings or not, as far as Ray talked to Dasker? I don't speak of it, even if I have questions like that.

For in this case, it is only a matter of nobility like Dusker cleaning up.

If I could have asked for help by any means, Ray would have helped me with that, too.

Anyway, for Ray, a place called Gilm was the first place in this world to come, and then it's the place he's been based.

Even if I ever left the guild for some long time, I had no intention of getting out of the guild in the true sense of the word.

I don't want just such a place to be like no more guilds or harder to live in as a Ray.

That's why I was willing to cooperate with Dusker if he wanted to.

"Whatever. The nobleman's case is solved here... could you look over there for a second?

Ray, who turned his gaze to those the knight showed, saw the body of an oak.

That wasn't one, either, and all four bodies were lined up there.

"That's... what's going on? No, well, it's here, which means I must have come in from the Trent Forest."

"Oh, yeah. I came here a little while after Ray was gone. … but the result is"

"I guess."

Ray is also honestly convinced of the words.

Originally entrusted with the escort of the Tower of Birth are the skilled adventurers.

And some of the Lizardmans are as strong as Gaga and Zozo.

Even if a normal oak came to such a place anyway if oak king, that's only a good prey.

Oak is the worst opponent for a woman of all races, but at the same time its meat is known to taste more than rank.

That's so much so that many have the perception that once an adventurer finds an orc, he should hunt instantly.

"So, why are you still there? You're not gonna dismantle it? Blood drain..."

"Oh, there's already blood draining. All I have to do is dismantle it, but I was wondering if that orc would be a contribution to Seto."

"... to Seto? Why again?"

"Gru?"

Seto, who was with Ray, is suddenly surprised that he was called his own name, stops playing with the Lizardman children, and turns his gaze.

Ray shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing to Seto like that, making Seto go back to play.

While doing so, Ray turns his gaze to the knight again and opens his mouth.

"If you're saying you're going to ceto the oak meat, of course I appreciate that... but why suddenly do you do that?

"I've had help with one of the nobles, but other than that, I've had help on the lookout every night. Thank you for that."

I nod to the words of the knight as the adventurers who were listening to the explanation agree.

Ray also sees how such knights and adventurers are and convinces Seto that he wants to present them.

If you try to be the one who actually keeps an eye on you at night, it's because you fully understand how much help you're getting thanks to Seto.

... In fact, Ray, who has always been with Seto, has been so helpful.

Either way, Ray naturally knows that a lot of those here are thankful for Seto.

That's why I was honestly convinced if they told me I would hand over the oak as a thank you.

"Seto"

"Gru?"

I was just told to hang out with the Lizardman kids earlier Seto, but then soon they called me by my name again, without any particular dissatisfaction...... on the contrary, what? What? and curiosity in his circular eyes, he approaches Ray.

"Four orcs over there, they're here to give Seto a gift"

"Gru!?

Where's Seto, surprised by Ray's words? Where? and look around...... soon find the bodies of the four oaks, throbbing with joy.

For Seto, defeating the oak yourself is not such a difficult story.

No, given Seto's strength, it would be easy.

Still, it's a great pleasure to get an oak as a gift from someone.

Seto, who seems so happy that whoever sees it, will undoubtedly be blinded if the Seto enthusiasts in Gilm see it.

The number of Seto enthusiasts, headed by Mileyne and Johanna, is quite high.

Naturally, such Ceto enthusiasts imitate that if they meet Ceto, they give him some food or something.

That is naturally pleasing to Ceto, but Ceto, who is now pleased in this situation, was visible from Ray's eyes, as he was more pleased than then.

(This is the way it is, but it has never happened before. Naturally Seto will be pleased)

With that in mind, Ray joyfully walks around near the place where Oak's body is located and looks at Seto, who throats happily.

"Anyway, I'd have been happier this way if you'd dismantled it as well as drained blood."

"That being said, we got four of 'em, right? It took me quite a while just to drain the blood. There's no reason to drain blood on the tower of birth."

An adventurer listening near the knight returns that to Ray's words.

Ray, too, is convinced that if you say so.

It is not uncommon for an orc to be more than two m long if it becomes a large individual.

Carry all that giant to some place - where monsters and animals don't even come to the tower of birth, even if it smells like blood - and reverse it up and down and hang it on a branch of a tree to drain blood.

It takes a reasonable amount of time for the blood to drain, and just carrying the oak drains a lot of health in the first place.

Where Ray explained the things to Dusker, and then was attacked by an assassin while he was buying and eating, repelling it, and transporting the stunned assassin to the guard's stuffing... and other imitations, it was best to end the blood drain of the four oaks.

Other ways to drain blood are to sink into the water… Ray, who only turned his gaze to the lake for a moment, immediately shook his neck to the side.

Beyond inhabiting many fierce monsters, if you did something like sink an oak that reeked of blood into a lake, that oak would undoubtedly be scattered among the monsters and fish in the lake.

The corpse of an oak that I prepared as a gift for Seto because of this becomes completely meaningless then.

I could have expected that from Ray.

"Well, for now...... you want to start dismantling the oak now? Leave it here and it'll get worse."

If you stay in Ray's Mystering, it gets worse... nothing like rotting.

Ray knew that, but when it comes to dismantling the four oaks, it's a lot of work to do with Ray alone.

... Ray wasn't that good at dismantling, which is one of the reasons why I wanted everyone to help me dismantle it.

Ray was so poorly dismantled when he came to this world that he clearly wasn't good at it, but now he's not so good at it... he has average skill.

Still, it was a fact that it was still easier to get someone to help.

(If you're dismantling a chicken, I did it when I was in Japan, but that's almost useless in this world, right?)

Ha, and sighing, Ray thanked the audience for their help in dismantling the oak.
