Legend

"Hey, what are you doing!

Anastasia, who was hit with nuts, approaches with her eyes hoisted by Ray, the killer who did it.

Normally, you'd be happy if you were forced to be beautiful, like Anastasia, but even if you were forced to be in a situation where your eyes are hoisted, like now, it's not funny there.

Ray retreats after a few steps due to Ningro's unusual force.

Still, explain why I managed to throw nuts.

"Whatever you're told to do, if you see me trying to imitate licking a whisp, it's natural to try to stop me, right? I mean, what was Anastasia going to think and imitate licking Whisp?

A beauty like Anastasia was about to stretch her tongue and lick her whisp.

The sight only seemed unusual from Ray's eyes.

"What are you talking about? Whispers aren't normal, they're rare species, right? Then you need to give it a try, don't you?

"... is that what you want to try and feel the flavor?

To Anastasia's words, slightly...... no, it returns with a rather mixed appearance, Ray's gaze directed at the fana wearing the mask.

Even with the mask on, Fana misses her gaze softly because she couldn't take Ray's gaze straight from the front.

Like Ray, Fana probably had doubts about Anastasia's behavior as she was about to lick Whisp.

But as a fana, I watched if Anastasia would do it, without doing anything to stop it.

As a result, the act of Anastasia would have been successful if Ray had come a little later.

(What the hell else did you imitate while I was here? Kind of scared to ask...... no, it's what the researcher Anastasia does. Whatever I do around here, it probably doesn't make sense.... Yeah, there shouldn't be. I don't think so.... I hope not)

It was Ray thinking that way, but still I don't have the courage to ask Anastasia what kind of investigation she was doing when she didn't have herself.

In the meantime, I open my mouth as if I had regained my mind, leaving that area alone.

"Better yet, it's evening. It's time to go home to the birthday tower, so get ready."

"Huh? Already?... No, but, yeah. I guess that's what Ray meant when he came.... sooner than I thought."

Anastasia tells you so in a sorry way.

If I could, I'd want to be doing Whisp research for a longer time.

Anyway, it's a whisp with the ability to summon something from another world.

That was more impossible to say not to attract the interest of the researchers.

But if you concentrate too much there, it can be like undernourishment, dehydration, etc.

It was also an anastasia that would totally concentrate your consciousness there if Whisp was in front of you, but that's only a story if you had Whisp in front of you.

In places without whispers, behave like a calm adult feminine.

Because some of the people who actually sleep on the side of the birth tower to escort them have liked Anastasia, even though it hasn't been that long since we met.

... For once, the adventurers who were turned to escort the tower of birth are the skilled ones who are trusted by the guild, but they are still different if they are to talk about relationships between men and women.

"Look, even over there, it's time to wait hungry. I think you really think we're coming now or now."

"Right.... Well, I'm a little sorry to hear that, but shall we keep it around here today? Fana, who's got the research data?

"I'm finished."

"Well, that's fine."

"Do you want to take it?

"Um, it's not like there's anything I'd like to consider at night, but I think you should leave it here, given the times. It's going to be hard to get into this underground space."

Is that okay? and Ray nods to Anastasia, who asks with a gaze.

(In fact, it's much harder to get here than the passage that connects here is hidden)

Not to mention, this is the middle of the Trento Forest with its vast expanse.

It is quite difficult to get here and find a hidden passage that connects to the underground space where the Rays are currently located.

(Most likely, that's only normal. When you connect this underground space to your own lab from the start, I'm not talking about hiding passageways.)

Ray nodded at Anastasia's suggestion because he had the feeling that this place could not actually be found by anyone else, and at the same time he thought that Anastasia's research data might be of some help to Grimm.

Given Grimm's character, whether or not he would do something like look at Anastasia's research data was a subtle thing, though.

"Then that's what I'm talking about.... Shall we go? Ray, what's for dinner today?

"You had a lot of vegetable soup. And then there's the baked udon, so I'm going to serve that too. You can serve sandwiches and skewers."

To the words, Anastasia smiles with joy.

"Baked udon is something I had once before, but it was pretty tasty. I'm glad I can eat that again."

"Well, you're lucky."

"... luck?

"Oh. As you know, udon is the birthplace of Gilm. That's why there are many stalls that deal with udon, but only for that matter is my arm immature... and there are quite a few stores that serve unsavory udon."

Naturally, shops and stalls serving unsavory udon are not popular, but will eventually crumble with fewer customers.

Still, it is quite likely that it will be a commotion to eat unsavory udon, often held up by guards and adventurers looking around.

That's why Ray described Anastasia's failure to eat unsavory udon as lucky.

"Do you have that unsavory udon?

"Well, you are. If it gets worse, I can't wrap the flour around it."

Even though it is udon, can I call it udon that it is not in the form of noodles, but in the form of small chunks of flour, which was the feeling Ray had when I heard the story.

"Other than that, even if the noodles are well made, the soup can be flavored that doesn't go with udon"

"That's... but not so many terrible stores, is it?

"Right. I won't deny that."

Not many stores and stalls are actually that bad. Most stores and stalls are slightly unsavory or overboiled and tender with udon......

Such udon is not as delicious as it can be admired, but it is not so bad that it cannot be eaten.

Nevertheless, if I try to make the udon a store that sells it, I can't stand the fact that such udon is sold in the gilm of the place where the udon originated.

(Udon, udon. With that said, Inari udon or something was dry noodles. How do you make that dry noodle thing? It's just, if you dry the udon, can you do that? If I could have dried noodles, it wouldn't be weird if it was a big revolution in food or something)

If you can dry udon noodles, that's what adventurers can carry as a preserved food, and you can boil udon in the soup and so on.

Of course, some people may find it difficult to cook on the way to work, so some people may not cook when the dried udon noodles come out.

(Oh, but when it comes to dried udon noodles or something, can it be broken in battle)

Dry noodles are favorable for preservation but very fragile.

It's not strange if you don't have to fight or... get that far, if you're going to exercise intensely, it breaks.

If I was an adventurer, I felt like a lot of people didn't care about broken udon, but Ray did.

"Anyway, you just have to remember that udon is basically delicious.... you're better prepared than that, aren't you? We're leaving."

Two Anastasia and Fana nod to Ray, who were half-forced to finish the story, that each had no problem.

That's how the three of us leave the underground space...... Before, Ray lets two Anastasia and Fana go up first and stay on their own.

"Grimm, you can look at the research materials."

That said, the moment I tried to chase after the two of them, hoping I could hear them, only for a moment the arm of a bone, supposedly Grimm's arm, stretched out of the space at the end of Ray's gaze.

"Whoa!

Ray was surprised by such an arm, but his arm didn't look like he cared how Ray was, and when he waved gently, he disappeared.

"... you surprised me"

Ray shrugs as he sees where his bone arm was stretched until a few seconds ago.

I knew Grimm was good at space magic, and I've actually had help with the magic of metastasis.

But I didn't even think Ray could imitate that only part of his arm could be stretched out before him.

(Spatial magic?... that would be convenient)

I'm very jealous, even from Ray's point of view, of being able to transfer instantly, especially to places I like.

Ray can also say that the speed of travel will not allow other followers thanks to the presence of Seto, but it still takes time to travel.

By comparison, a metastasis will allow you to travel in an instant.

Whatever you think, metastatic magic was naturally faster.

"Keep up the good work. I'd appreciate a little more information about Whisp."

I don't know if it still sounds like a grimm, but Ray says so briefly and goes after Anastasia and Fana.

Walk a little early and catch up with the two of you before you get out on the ground.

"Oh, it was a little late, wasn't it? Anything wrong?

Maybe there was something wrong with Whisp.

He was Anastasia asking with that thought, but Ray shook his neck sideways against it.

"No, I wish something had happened, but unfortunately you didn't have that"

"... yes, unfortunately"

As the word goes, Anastasia whines as she looks really sorry.

But Fana, who decides she won't be able to leave Anastasia like this forever, pulls such Anastasia clothes.

"Let's get out of here quickly. Otherwise, it's gonna be a hassle."

"... a hassle?

It was Anastasia who looked just a little strange to Fana's words, but she started going down the underground aisle again, deciding there was nothing she could do with it all staying here.

That's how I get to the surface, and soon Seto approaches Ray.

The way he was happily throbbing meant that he missed him so much, even though it had been a short time acting apart.

"Seto really likes Ray, too."

"Gru!"

To the words of Anastasia, Seto naturally! Ringing in such a way.

If you try Ceto, if you can stay with Ray, that's all I'm happy for.

That's why Seto liked his life now.

As an escort to the birthday tower, I can be right next to Ray resting in a magic tent.

Or you can sleep in the garden near Ray's sleeping room at the marina's house.

Compared to that, I can't really be on Ray's side at dusk wheat pavilion.

With a bigger stables than the rest of the inn, that would be a pleasure for Seto, but it was definitely a great shame for Seto that he still couldn't be on Ray's side.

"All right, all right. Then you can't stay here forever, and it's time to go back."

Already, the surroundings are quite dark.

The sunset is setting, let alone here in the forest of Trento.

Compared to outside the woods really, it's easy to get dark.

"Gru!"

Leave it to me! And Seto, who rattles his throat, bows gently.

On such a ceto back, the three Rays ride...... the risen ceto runs out.

Slowly, at first, to make sure the three of you on your own back are okay.

But gradually the speed increases.

That's what runs through the woods at a rate that monsters and animals around there can't catch up to.

Running at such a rate through the growing woods of the trees is inherently tantamount to suicide.

But Seto keeps running like that has nothing to do with it...

(Oh, you had goblins)

Ray found a few goblins in the woods at night, but the goblins didn't seem to notice Seto running near them at all.

Tomorrow, Ray would go with Seto, who runs as he pleases, as he talks about Goblin to the Goblins and their escort adventurers.
