Legend

While eating, Ray finds out.

"Ah...... Shit"

"Ray? What's up?

An adventurer who was dining nearby quickly looks around to see if he felt anything about Ray's condition.

Maybe even some kind of monster came out, that's what I thought.

Quickly moving into action was a sign of skill, but that's not what Ray noticed this time.

Because I completely forgot to pick up Anastasia and Fana.

There were so many things going on today... that I completely forgot about them.

"Sorry, I forgot about the Anastasias! I'll pick you up right away.... Seto!

"Grrrrrrrr?...... Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, he approached Ray because it was Seto, who unfortunately glimpsed the meat he was eating, but still Ray called it.

I guess I was obsessed with eating and hadn't heard about Ray.

What's the matter with you? and gaze at Ray.

Ray is also the one who forgot about Anastasia, so he doesn't imitate him like he blames Seto, and opens his mouth to apologize to Ning Ro.

"You forgot Anastasia and Fana. I'm still in that place, so I need to pick you up."

"... Gru? Grrrrrrrrrr!?"

Ray tells me that Seto also realizes that he forgot about the Anastasias, and he rings like he panicked.

Already, the surroundings are quite dim.

This season, which is close to summer, it's not raining or cloudy either, and it's about this on a sunny day, so it's the right time to call it dining time already.

Seto gives himself up instantly and urges Ray to get on his back.

Ray also jumps right on the back of such a ceto.

"Sorry, I'm just picking up the Anastasias! You guys eat it right!

Before I say it to the end, Seto runs out.

Instead of running lightly flush as usual, that's as fast as the word full speed deserves.

On the back of such a ceto, Ray wonders what to delude into Anastasia.

I was allowed to have lunch, but other than that, I am only allowed to have about a light snack.

Then, naturally, you should be hungry now, and I don't know what you're going to demand from Ray for that.

(In the meantime, I brought the properly cooked meat, so I'll try to get you to put up with it)

Thinking like that on Seto's back, Seto, running at full speed, moves around trying to sew trees in the dark woods.

... For once, there is still some brightness outside the woods, but only here in the woods, the light is blocked by the trees.

If it's daylight, it's a beautiful scenery somewhere to behold, which deserves the expression wood leak day, but if that's at night, the story changes.

It won't even let a little light through, it will be what we should call a complete shut-off screen.

Most importantly, Ray and Seto have good night vision, so it's not dark and I can't see anything.

"Gru!"

Approaching the center of Trento's forest, Seto squeaks sharply.

Ray also listens to such Seto squeal and see if there are any problems around him...... especially if there are any monsters.

Some monsters move vigorously at night, and in that sense, this one thing...... it was quite a lapse that I had completely forgotten about Anastasia and Fana.

(All right. There's no sign of the monster.... I guess there's a chance he got away with it, sensing signs of Seto)

Essentially, many monsters are not uncommon to escape from the spot if they observe more signs of monsters than they do.

What keeps you from escaping is monsters like Goblin who can't even grasp that their opponents are in character, monsters who have the temperament to prefer to fight, or monsters who are highly proud that they will never escape.

Other than that, some monsters don't escape for a variety of reasons, but still there are definitely more monsters to escape.

Now with all those monsters, it was very helpful for Ray to have no monsters to attack.

That is how the place of destination…… When it comes to a place with a passage leading to the underground space, Ray leaves Seto on the ground to head into the underground space.

What the hell is going on in underground space?

That's what the hell they say to Anastasia if they arrive in the underground space.

That's what I was going on...

"No, well, yeah. I was expecting this."

I guess I didn't think so at all, but I still whine like I tell myself.

Because the sight that was spreading in front of Ray was no different than when Ray left the underground space in the morning.

Anastasia looking into Whisp and Fana looking after that Anastasia.

Fana is wearing a mask, so I don't know for sure, but still, when it comes to taking care of Anastasia until this hour, Ray can also predict that she is correspondingly tired.

"Uh... uh, the... hey, Anastasia, Fana, I'm here, so I may not know the time, but it's already night."

To Ray's words, Fana looks up.

And it looked like Ray had a surprise look on his face when he saw Ray.... I'm wearing a mask, so I just expected it to probably be because of the atmosphere and attitude.

Either way, I shake Anastasia like I panicked where I found Ray, and I de-concentrate on Whisp.

"What. I almost had a hypothesis about Whisp."

"No, but..."

To Anastasia, who looks dissatisfied, Fana points to those with Ray.

Anastasia follows that fingertip to such a fana appearance... find Ray.

"Oh, Ray? What's wrong with you? You're back pretty soon again."

"It's not too soon.... In the first place, when do you think this is? It's already night and everyone's eating at the birthday tower."

"... Huh? Is that already the time?

"Don't be. How far did you concentrate at all?"

Ray pointing his gaze at Anastasia.

To such Ray's gaze, Anastasia moves the elf-specific long ears so as to mislead something.

"As a researcher, that's about natural, isn't it? Thinking about this one, Ning Lo, you don't deserve to study this whisp unless you can concentrate on it as much as you can."

Is that what this is all about? And Ray wondered slightly, but if I said that here, it seemed that Anastasia would definitely not be convinced.

It is also very helpful for Ray to say that Anastasia will actually do Whisp research.

It's still very unlikely... because that's only as likely as it deserves to be called a miracle, but maybe we can go to Japan.

"Uh, yeah. Well, it helps even for me that Anastasia works hard to do research. So, you figured something out today?

"... you know. There's no way we can do anything but research for such a short time."

He was a ray who could turn a frightened gaze, but is that what it is? Question.

Because Ray doesn't know exactly what kind of research a researcher will do… and how long it will take to produce results.

Thinking about this one, it might be better to understand the area to some extent.

"How did the hypothesis not say this earlier?

"Right. But hypotheses are hypotheses, but I really just came up with an imagination, like I stacked a hypothesis on top of a hypothesis... you know what? Not really, but it's not like I can talk to people yet."

I would have liked to hear more about that area if I could, Ray, but I figured Anastasia wouldn't say anything if I stayed sticky here, and I would decide that there's no reason to keep Seto waiting on the ground forever.

"Okay. Let's just get that story over with here and get back to the birthday tower anyway. Considering the food you brought in, you're hungry too, aren't you?

With that said, Ray wonders if he should also keep food items in this underground space.

Of course, it is a highly preserved food, like dried meat and hard-baked bread, which is hard to rot.

Then you can delude hunger even when you're as late as you are today.

… It's the same kind of meal that adventurers eat around here, and it's not exactly the kind of fancy meal that adventurers and reservoirs are currently eating in the Tower of Birth.

"Right. If you ask me, I'm hungry, too."

Yes, next to what Anastasia said, Fana nodded strongly agreeing with the word.

If I tried it as a fana, I would have been twitching because of the influence I was having with Anastasia.

... is it the will of the maiden that still keeps the belly noise from ringing?

In fact, the sound of my stomach is not something I can do with my own will.

Whatever it was, Rays got out of underground space to say that Anastasia was hungry.

"Wow, it's not dark anymore"

That's what Anastasia said when she went outside and whined first.

In fact, Anastasia is right, the surroundings are completely dark.

I guess Anastasia's sense of time was completely paralyzed by the fact that she was underground and by the fact that she was watching Whisp staring at you and focusing her consciousness completely on you.

Looking at the surroundings, Anastasia looks at the surroundings in a completely unexpected way.

"Right? Anastasia is too focused.... Well, I don't know. But I don't."

The last one shrugged a little because Ray remembered that when he was in Japan too, he was instantly running out of time when he was reading books and playing games.

It wasn't what I was doing, but I also remembered for Ray that I was focusing too much on one thing and had too much time in an instant.

"It's a big deal that you were in an underground space.... but there's also the fact that Ray was late to pick me up?

"... well, I don't deny that either"

It's an unmistakable fact that Ray actually had a lot going on today and forgot to pick up Anastasia as a result.

If so, I can't even argue with Anastasia's words.

So, Ray decides to get a little out of the way.

"At this hour, it's also dangerous in the woods. So I can't travel slowly, like I did when I came here in the morning. We'll all get on Seto's back and hurry back to the birthday tower. Is that all right?

It was against Fana who made the confirmation.

I wouldn't like to snuggle with Ray, who I don't know very well, just Fana, who is inwardly popular, and above all, I was scared of Seto's running speed.

But given the fear of Trent's Forest at night, you should definitely get back to the Tower of Birth as soon as possible.

If so, it was still necessary to travel here in a little hurry.

It's possible to deal with Ray and Seto as long as they're not their extra opponents.

But there was an escort named Anastasia and Fana... If I told you, while holding your feet, there was also a chance that something might happen.

Given the circumstances around here, we still need to hurry here.

"... ok"

reluctantly, really reluctantly, but Fana accepts Ray's words.

It was easy to predict that if I tried it as a fana, there would be more problems than I was supposed to be an anastasian assistant.

But all of a sudden... and this kind of problem was unexpected for Fana.

"Okay. Shall we go then? Seto, the three of us, are you okay?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto is fine! and honking his throat.

If it's Seto, that's how you can run fine with three adult men on board.

Considering that, enough to put two little Rays and a woman on board, that's nothing.

... because in some cases, it may weigh less than the weight of one big man.

There's nothing wrong with Seto at all to the extent of putting an opponent like that on his back.

... although it was definitely quite difficult if you told me to fly in that situation.

"All right, then let's go. Well, I'm behind Fana and Anastasia and Anastasia."

When it came to Fana, who was familiar, he decided that it would be better for Anastasia, not himself, to make contact, but the fact that the two of them nodded at it made the conversation light… the three of them and one of them proceeded towards the Tower of Birth.
