Legend

What is it? A crushing sound of meat echoes around you.

It was one man in his forties who did it.

And I'm still young to have been beaten...... that's the kind of young woman who hasn't even been in her twenties yet.

I have a face that is described as cute, not beautiful, but currently its cheeks are swollen and there is blood flowing from my mouth.

If you're just a woman, it's not weird to cry if you get hit in the face.

But while the woman bleeds from the edge of her mouth, she stares at the man in front of her.

In a woman's eyes, that cuteness is the murderous intent up to the viciousness of her back.

Stare at the man with a gaze that doesn't suit his appearance.

You still know a woman won't get her hands on herself, or a man doesn't look particularly scared when he's turned to a killer glance.

On the contrary, it exposes and screams unnecessarily frustration with women.

"What, those eyes! Do you know where you stand? I couldn't do it. Do it! What do you think I'm doing with a woman like you? I know it's for times like this!

A man screams, but the woman sees it without any indulgence.

And dozens of seconds pass staring at each other... eventually, a woman opens her mouth.

"I can't. The other guy's got a deep red ray, right? To someone with an alias, what can I do alone?

"This is a request from Master Veen! I'm not gonna do it, I'm gonna have to do it!

"... If you're telling me to do it, I can't do it alone. More people... it also needs to gather arms"

"I can't do that, so I'm telling you to do it.... okay? That you won't do it means I won't have to buy your brother's pills, either, okay?

Gin, and.

Murder in the gaze of the woman who was staring at the man became stronger.

Until now, he was a man whose gaze had never been particularly like this, even if he had been turned to kill by a woman, but now his gaze is different.

I don't know, I'll be back in a few steps.

But I shake my fist up again, not realizing that I had retreated myself, and now I'm just saying that I'm never under barometric pressure by the woman in front of me.

Sounds gushing in the room again.

The woman is bleeding out of her lips more than earlier, but she stares at the man without wiping it and opens her mouth.

"In case anything happens to Ranta... you won't let her live."

"Really? Then you're gonna do a good job over there. Don't forget that, okay? Your brother won't keep it long without the pills I have for him. And I'll see what happens to your job, and I'll decide how much medicine to buy."

When they say that, women can't argue with anything.

In the first place, it was the woman who accepted the contract on such terms.

... lucky to be unhappy for a woman was that the man in front of her showed no interest in her body?

Thanks to you, chastity still manages to be protected.

"Okay. But at least I won't say enough people, so prepare some people who can be used to throw away pawns. Ray also has an obedient named Seto. I'm not the one who can handle this alone."

A woman understands her strengths.

The opponents around there can handle it with strength, and if you hide your nature and use the good look of being a man, you can manage even if your arms are somewhat higher than yours.

But... one person and one person, Ray and Seto, are completely beyond what they can manage with color tricks.

Not to mention that in addition to Ray and Seto, there are also party members of Red Lotus Wings, such as Elainea, who is not a party member but has the alias of General Princess, and Arla, an Elaine escort.

It's not a problem that I can manage on my own because I'm going after Ray in that.

Does the man know that too, think a little... give the woman a bag containing dozens of silver coins.

"If they're in Slam Street, that should do it.... Many are grateful to Ray for one of Giganto Turtles, but if they came to Slam Street in the spring, that amount should do nothing about it. Use those people to shield the flesh."

She was a woman who frowned slightly on her too frank opinion: a meat shield, but she doesn't speak any more.

Because it's only detrimental to a woman to undermine the mood of the man in front of her.

"Okay, so I'll try.... but okay? If Ray was harmed, would the upper levels of the guilds move? If it does, is it dangerous?

"Well, I didn't think François would worry about me"

Woman...... The man speaks out teasing as if François felt better when he received the order, or forgot he had retreated a few steps earlier into a murderous gaze, etc.

But François returns grumpy to such a man's words.

"Nothing. I'm not doing it for Triparra. It's just for the girl's... Lanta."

"I don't mind that. If it helps me, that's enough. Besides, if Mr. Veen's memory becomes eye-catching, there's a lot of profit to be gained. Then I'll end up getting more of your brother's meds too. So you wouldn't be complaining, would you?

If you say so, you can't even disagree as François.

In order to keep the only family lanta I have left, I need Triparra's medicine.

If you say so, you can't say no to Francois if you want to get a little more of that medicine.

"Right.... Well, I'll be in Slam Street soon. It's night now, and anyone in Slam Street with backward circumstances will be moving."

With that said, François was leaving Triparra's room.

"Hmmm... I'd love to find out about those jellyfish"

Anastasia squeals small as the jellyfish drifts through the lake at night and returns to the lake, looking nostalgic near Ray.

From the eyes of Anastasia, the jellyfish today did not look like a very but normal monster.

... Most of all, this lake has been transferred from different worlds, and the monsters there are not very good, but they cannot be called normal monsters.

"Don't be impotent, impotent. That jellyfish is pretty friendly over here, as you can see. If you imitate someone like that to make them uncomfortable, that's not gonna be funny."

That jellyfish is friendly, but that's not necessarily why they're less aggressive.

Maybe it was a fairly high ranked monster.

What the hell happens if you imitate someone like that to make them meaningless angry?

At least not much, Ray didn't want to try it.

... No, even without that, it still doesn't seem to Ray to be trying to make someone uncomfortable for me or anything like that.

Anastasia snorts reluctantly and so on about whether she felt anything in Ray's words, too.

"I get it.... but if that jellyfish ever makes me miss it, do you mind doing a little research?

"That's... well, it's not something I can stop, but let me be honest, I think you should stop it."

That jellyfish seemed to have more than a certain intelligence than its appearance.

Beyond that, if Anastasia for any reason becomes a friendly relationship and wants me to do research, there is ample chance of understanding the language.

But more than it's possible that the other person's understanding isn't what Ray or Anastasia think it might be, maybe... it could really be, but in some cases, it could be a big problem.

"Besides, Anastasia is wi... no, you have a research subject right now. I don't think it's honest that we haven't studied enough of that research, but we're still moving on to another research subject."

Ray, who almost whispered in front of everyone, manages to mislead it.

I don't think anyone is eavesdropping on Ray's story, but the adventurers here are the ones who all deserve it.

It's no surprise that someone overheard Ray's words by some coincidence.

That's why Ray misled the story while keeping the word Whisper out of the way.

I didn't know if I understood Ray's care like that, but still Anastasia nods at the word, although slightly unacceptable.

"Right.... Unfortunately, I wonder if it will. But I'm pretty sure that jellyfish is a pretty attractive researcher."

"You can even tell me that. Besides, there are other people doing this lake research besides Anastasia, so why don't we just leave it to you?

Huh? and it was just an anastasia with a slightly surprising look, but it was only natural to send researchers beyond the necessity of investigating this lake.

Such imitation would result in more and more people knowing about the lake.

That Anastasia also knew, but still was an inevitable path beyond the need to do a lake survey.

... Nevertheless, the researchers are also the most important thing about their research. More specifically, to satisfy one's intellectual curiosity.

If anyone tells anyone else about this lake, I may never come to this lake again as a punishment for it.

And it was possible that someone else on my behalf would investigate the lake, which should also be called this unknown mass, and learn a variety of secrets.

Also, even if I could come here, there could be more researchers coming to this lake.

That could have led to that researcher uncovering that he had doubts.

That's not funny to researchers.

As much as I imitate that, I shouldn't talk about this lake, but any slight differences were researcher sex.

... That's why Anastasia wasn't going to tell me about that underground space and Whisp besides her own assistant Fana either.

Most importantly, whisps with the ability to transfer people and objects from different worlds are overwhelmingly more sensitive than this lake, so Dasker, who asked Anastasia, would not allow the matter to be told to anyone else either.

"Whatever, don't be weird imitating that glowing jellyfish. I don't want to harm Anastasia either."

"... I know."

Although slightly disapproved, Anastasia nods at Ray's words.

If Ray is going to say that much, decide that I shouldn't say anything more.

After seeing how Anastasia was doing, Ray changes the subject, deciding that he would not, for the time being, imitate a little on the glowing jellyfish with this.

"What kind of researcher is Anastasia? Is this a study about monsters, after all?

"Huh? Right.... It wasn't exactly decided. Something like studying things of interest one after the other."

"... it's, again"

I guess he's a researcher to call even the so-called genius type.

I was just wondering if you specialize in research on monsters just because you were tasked with Whisp research.

"Oh, I'll tell you what, if I were human, I'd be an elf, right? I have a longer life span than humans, so that's all I have to learn. In that sense, the elves might be suitable for researchers."

To Anastasia's words, Ray is convinced.

Some genres of genius, such as listening to one and knowing ten, don't necessarily say that elves are better suited to researchers, but if you look at them in general, you are sure that elves with longer learning times are still more advantageous as researchers.

"In that sense, you're jealous of elves"

That's what I told Ray, but Ray's body was made by Zeppyre's one-gate technology, and I don't even know Ray himself what his life expectancy is exactly.

But given that I haven't grown tall at all since I came to this world, it would be more impossible to consider it the same lifespan as a normal human being.

In addition, three of Ray's companions, Elaine, Marina and Vihera, clearly have a life expectancy of more than human beings.

In that sense, I guess I could say that the Rays are outsiders in many ways.

"Right. It's just that if you have a longer life span, some things are worse, right? For example, because I am curious, I came out of the woods like this, but few elves have lived long enough to wear out their spirits and make their curiosity completely non-existent."

To that explanation, Ray feels subtle with wow...

Because if I tried it on Ray, even with a long life span in the corner, I didn't think that would make sense.

... maybe that's what I thought unnecessarily because I know the existence of a Grimm.
