Legend

"Heh, this is delicious."

Anastasia, who ate Gamelion's meat, tells her satisfactorily.

Anastasia has only recently come to Gilm.

So Gamelion, who eats as a winter festival poem if he's a resident of the Guild, also ate meat... it may have been processed into a preserved food, but I guess he never ate that he baked raw meat.

For once, Gamelion's meat is sometimes bought by merchants as a commodity, but it's raw at any rate.

Its gamelion meat is also the only way to take the gamelion meat caught earlier than usual by chance than it would be trapped in the gilm with snow in the winter, and you have to manage to sell it before it rots.

Then naturally you can't sell it to someone far away.

I guess that's why Anastasia is happily eating Gamelion meat.

... It should be noted that beside such anastasia, Fana, who exposed her mouth by shifting her mask by about half, also eats the meat of Gamelion.

"So? What happened to that fish? Did you eat that?

That's what Ray asked was an adventurer man who said he would eat a fish with a sharp nose like a Rapier's cut on his elongated body.

Ray said he shouldn't eat it if he could because it could be poisonous, but that's who he said he was fine because the other fish were okay and he has the potion kind.

Before Ray picked up Anastasia, he hadn't eaten any fish yet.

But you ate it after Ray was gone? and when asked so, the man grins confidently and nods.

"That was delicious. I wasn't really myself because I was thin, but I was greasy. That would have tasted more like it if I could.... If I use some kind of meat, can I catch it again?

"Poison?

I know it tastes good, but what Ray is making it a problem is still poison.

Especially that fish is clearly able to stick his opponent with his nose, and it's no wonder he's pierced by his body if he's an inferior skilled one.

This adventurer looked like he caught it lightly, but that's only because this adventurer's arm stands up.

Ordinary...... that's what it's like to just be an adventurer, sometimes wearing under-performing armor, and in some cases it could have pierced the armor.

"So far so good. Whatever happens, I drink the poisoning potion, so I don't think it's much of a problem."

"... no, given the price of that potion, I'm wondering if you want to eat fish that far"

There are a wide variety of ways to deal with poison.

In simple things, there are poisonous grasses, some of which magically wipe out poison, as well as magic items for poisoning made with alchemy.

One of them was a potion for poisoning.

However, the potion also works differently depending on the price, and the higher the quality, the stronger the effect, and the more it works on multiple poisons.

In other words, when it came to eating fish that might have an unknown poison and, if it was really poisonous, using potions, it was necessary to use proportionately expensive potions.

If you're going to use such expensive potions, that's the only way to buy something more expensive with ingredients that you can normally eat.

Don't you have to bother eating unknown ingredients?

Yes, Ray thought, but the adventurer who ate that fish doesn't look like he regrets it at all.

Ningro, he even seemed happy.

(Well, if you're an armed adventurer, you're making the money you deserve.... That doesn't make that much of a funny story, does it?

That's how he thinks, while Ray carries a simmer of oak into his mouth like a pork braised in horns.

The moment you put it in your mouth, the meat disappears to melt.

There is a lot of fat, but the fat dissolved in the mouth is not persistent at all because it is simmered with vanilla for a long time when it is boiled down.

"Delicious."

The only thing that comes out of Ray's mouth is a word.

"Oh, that looks delicious. Can I have a little, too?

I guess I saw the sight of Ray eating and thought it looked really delicious.

When Anastasia runs out of gamelion meat for what she was eating, she asks Ray that.

Ray also snorts lightly because he's not going to be singling out this dish either.

Anastasia removes the oak stew from the pan which is warmed by the incineration.

Just holding it, pulling and shivering its appearance is exactly the pig's braised horn itself.

And the same goes for braised pork horns, but the flavor drops extremely when the dish in this hand cools.

Short flavor duration, he said. Should I describe it that way?

For that matter, it would taste pretty good if I ate it normally.

"It's delicious, this.... No way, Ray made it?

"That's the only way. You can't cook like this for me."

"Really? It's not that hard to cook, is it? Of course, if you're going to cook really good food, you need to spend a lot of time on it, but it's surprisingly easy if you're going to make just what you normally eat."

It was Anastasia to say so confidently, but can Ray trust such Anastasian words? And I doubt it.

Because, given the Anastasian character Ray has been dealing with, it didn't seem like he could cook, not very much.

That's not strange, even if you keep your mouth shut of the knowledge you hear from someone.

"I can cook. But I'm not gonna make you stink."

I'll tell you that briefly, if Fana, who was watching Ray, somehow guessed what Ray was thinking.

To that word, is that true? and Ray in doubt, but if Fana says she's been with Anastasia longer than she is, she's half forced to convince herself.

"No, and Ray was late to pick me up, but were you okay? At night, there will be many monsters in the Trento Forest."

One of the adventurers asks worryingly so.

In fact, at the same time that you are worried about Anastasia, you will want to come closer if possible, and that is what you will do.

Anastasian beauties are rarely seen.

... Most of all, it is true that she is beautiful, but her personality is very different from her appearance.

In the case of Anastasia, more interesting research subjects than love… that's what would satisfy me if I could study Whisp.

If Anastasia were to make a lover, she would be someone who could tolerate herself like that.

"Yeah, it was a little rough, but I didn't have that many problems."

Eating the oak stew, Anastasia returns that word to the adventurer.

In fact, there are no monsters in the underground space where Whisp is located.

... No, it's connected to an institute with a grim, and since the grim is more of an undead than a monster by classification, it's not technically that there are no monsters out there.

That, too, obviously has a monster that deserves to be called a high-ranking monster.

Nevertheless, that grim is a rare monster that can communicate with people willingly, and does not imitate Ray as hostile at least.

Anastasia, who is looking into the underground space where Whisper is located, was never supposed to make an attack by judging him to be one of Ray's people at first.

Also, be it not one of Ray's people, Grimm is doing a lot of research on that whisp, and in that sense Ray expects that Anastasia's research will be useful to Grimm as well.

Of course, it's not necessarily that Anastasia or Fana doesn't imitate Grimm to anger him for any reason.

"Really? If that happens, maybe Mr. Anastasia is as strong as she deserves?

"I'm confident in spiritual magic."

Anastasia, who returns it slightly without hesitation.

If you try to make it a ray that has been quite some time since you started acting with the marina, there is a strong impression that when it comes to spiritual magic, it is a marina.

Ray also knows that Marina's Spirit Magic Arm is in a range that should be called first-rate, super-class, and he has seen that one scale over and over again.

That's why I understand that when I compare it to a marina, I still compare it to a marina.

And compared to marinas, Anastasia's spiritual magic skills are clearly inferior.

Ray previously encountered, a storm of wind spirits.

It was Anastasia who did something about it, but the Anastasia skill I saw at that time is really inferior to the marina.

Or maybe if Ray knew more about Spirit Magic and that's what he could use Spirit Magic himself, he could have understood things a little more accurately.

"So what do you say? Mr. Anastasia and your masked daughter, were you Fana? In the two women, I don't know what kind of investigation you're doing in the Trent Forest, but it's dangerous, isn't it?

"So you want me to hire you as an escort?

"Yeah. I'm happy to be close to a beauty like Mr. Anastasia, and Mr. Anastasia is happy to get an escort named me.... What do you say? I don't think you're so wrong."

Anastasia smiles at the adventurer who openly tells her so.

However, that grin doesn't go as far as cold... but it's definitely a grin that floated just on the surface.

If you are also as beautiful as Anastasia, you must be the one to come by.

I guess I'm not so uncomfortable around the fact that I'm still smiling.

If Anastasia was really uncomfortable, it was the blade of words that made the opponent desperate.

I didn't get that far, not because I flaunted my hopes but didn't say them directly, but because I honestly... truly honestly said my hopes.

(The other guy is tough, but good luck)

When Ray heartily supports the adventurer who is working hard to dictate Anastasia, he carries some stewed oak meat and a vegetable salad across the bread to his mouth.

That dish, which should also be called a braised oak meat sandwich - although not as daunting as that - fully entertains Ray's tongue.

That's how Ray, who was enjoying his meal, falls ill as if he were accidentally pulled by something.

"Whoa! Hey, what?... Seto?

Luckily, the pork braised sandwich was not like dropping it because I held it firmly by my hand, but still, why did Seto suddenly pull himself... precisely, the hem of the dragon robe? And when he turns his gaze to Ceto in doubt, Ceto stares at the lake.

After such Seto's gaze, Ray understands why Seto called Ray.

"Hey, if you're free, take a look at the lake. Here comes the glowing jellyfish again."

Many of those who heard such Ray's words rush to gaze at the lake.

Lizardmans also turned their gaze to the lake when they heard Zozo's interpreted words.

Beyond that gaze was what a fantastic jellyfish look the Rays saw a while ago, flying through the sky and her body glowing.

From Ray's impression, I even get that image, as if the illumination of the LED was working on its own.

"This is... amazing..."

"Yes."

Anastasia and Fana, who were on Ray's side, also gaze at the lake at Ray's words and can barely speak to the presence that is floating there.

All you can do is just look at that fantastic sight.

Ray was also blinded by the glowing jellyfish... but only for a moment, he turns his gaze to the slime that is still burning.

The constantly burning slime and jellyfish are quite a distance away.

But still, the burning slime has become a source of light, which definitely affects some glowing jellyfish.

I'm frustrated that that slime can't get in the way and enjoy a totally satisfying sight because it's the ray that burned the slime.

(That slime, how long does it keep burning? Come on, I think you can die.)

Never burning, such a slime appearance was enough to make Ray remember the frustration.

That's why I don't know if I can use more magic to kill even now, to the extent that I think so.

But Ray can't even imitate that the situation is more irregular now than it is in the first place.

All I can do is pray that the slime burns and extinguishes as soon as I can.

"Oh, you're coming over, aren't you?

To Anastasia's words, Ray returns his gaze to the lake.

There, there was certainly a look at the glowing jellyfish coming towards the shore.

And so the jellyfish came… just like before, they kept floating fluffy and fluffy around Ray, Seto, and the rest of their faces.
