"Hey, I wonder what the battle was yesterday"

With a slightly later breakfast than usual, Ray asks the knight next door.

I'm asking, Ray's gaze shows a water wolf playing with Lizardman's children.

Not very much, but I don't think he's the one who fought death last night, such a sight.

Seeing that sight, it really wasn't strange to have such questions about what the hell last night's battle was.

Speaking of knights voiced by Ray, above... he was twisting his head on the content of the report to be submitted to Dusker.

Naturally.

I didn't think there was someone in the lake who could communicate with us and have friendly relationships on it.

On top of that, it wasn't Dusker who negotiated with the water wolf, it wasn't the knight in charge here, Ray.

There was no way the Water Wolf could not respond to Ray more than he chose to be the negotiator, but that's why he needed to be concerned about the contents of the report.

... Most importantly, Dusker also deeply trusts Ray.

It would be a relationship where trust has accumulated by asking for several jobs so far and doing all of the work completely.

"We had a fight yesterday, so you thought the water wolves could believe this one, too, right? So, I don't think there's a problem with that?

While worried about the contents of the report, the knight answers that to Ray.

If this is how we can build a friendly relationship with the water wolf, we didn't need yesterday's battle.

I guess that doesn't mean Ray never thinks too much.

"If you look at that, I think you've managed somewhat without yesterday's battle. Didn't I?"

"I don't know. Around there, that's what you can't say until you try and fight. Because of that battle, we can also assume that the water wolf admitted this way"

Is that true? And it was Ray thinking to such a knight's words, but if that's what you're going to say for now, I'll decide to believe it first.

Even if I said something in the current situation, I thought that would be more of a story now.

"Ray, it's time to go"

That's how Anastasia speaks to Ray, who was talking to the knight.

If I tried it anastasia, I would also be interested in things like water wolf ecology and how intelligent it is, but it was Whisp that still has a stronger interest than that.

The children of Lizardman and the water wolves, as well as the towers and lakes of birth, were transferred from different worlds to this world because they are definitely whispers present in the underground space in the middle of the Trento forest.

Given that, it was still natural for me as a scholar to have the strongest interest in the great original Whisp.

Next to Anastasia, Fana also looks at Ray with her usual mask on.

It is Fana's role to stop Anastasia's rampage, but if it can also be done for Fana, she will want to head to an underground space with Whisp as soon as possible.

"Okay.... In the meantime, I don't think it would be very helpful if I were here, and you wouldn't mind going, would you?

"No, it won't mean it won't help. I mean, there's no one I can properly negotiate with a water wolf without Ray. That's gonna be trouble."

The knight, who had his head troubled by the contents of the report, tells Ray so.

In fact, the word is not so wrong.

The water wolf treats those in this place amicably, but that's only because it's Ray's people who are here.

That would be obvious, considering the fact that the water wolf showed such a thing as not acknowledging the existence of anything other than Ray as the person for discussion.

That is also why I am anxious that Ray will not be here if I try to be a knight.

"If you can, if you send those two away, I'd like you to come back here right away... okay?

"I had a lot to do with me... in this case I had no choice"

Originally, I was going to crush an organization that still remains in Slam Street today.

But if you ask me whether to give priority to crushing an organization with assassins who are after me, or to water wolves who would also have strong influence in the lake, I have to give priority to the latter, even as Ray.

"Sorry."

"Oh.... but you can't help thinking about this one. However, we need to carry the trees that have been harvested, so we'll let you go there in the afternoon."

"I don't mind that. I'd like to move forward with the construction of the Gilm as soon as possible.... Thinking about the neighborhood, I'd like to ask for a favor."

Ray shook his neck sideways to the words, telling him not to worry so much.

One thing with water wolves is definitely very interesting to Ray as well.

If so, there's nothing I can't say here.

"Ray."

Hurry up.

Yes, Anastasia is turning her gaze to Ray.

If you're a hobbyist in that hand, such a gaze that makes your spine tremble and glad.

But Hate and Ray don't have that hand hobby, so I call Seto without looking particularly concerned.

"Seto, it's time to go, come!

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto comes nearer with a chirp.

... A water wolf who was playing with the Lizardman children seemed only a little intrigued to see Seto like that... is Seto aware of that or not?

Either way, it comes under the ray without pointing toward the water wolf.

"Gru!"

I'm ready! and a ringing ceto.

When Ray strokes Seto's head like that, he turns his gaze to both Anastasia and Fana.

"Well, let's go."

They snorted at Ray's words.

"It's troublesome how many goblins there are."

Anastasia says reluctantly when she arrives at a place where the path leading to the underground space is hidden.

Fana also wears a mask, so I don't know her expression, but she was in agreement with Anastasia by nodding.

Most importantly, Ray doesn't know how Anastasia or Fana feels.

Each one is weak and retarded.

But because I'm retarded, I don't do anything to get away with putting Seto in front of me, and they attack me.

Most importantly, if Seto shows strength, he escapes, but he says he shows strength, so it takes some time, and that's a hassle for Ray.

... If you try anastasia or fana, other than that, you come after your body - in a sexual sense - so it would be natural to have an extra strong aversion to goblins.

There were quite a few of those goblins in the Trent Forest only today.

Ray doesn't even know why there are so many goblins so far today.

I don't know, but I still couldn't have left it like this any longer than I was.

(In the meantime, we need to reduce the number of goblins....... Goblin breeding speed is abnormal, so I want to do something about it whenever possible)

To think so, goblins are strong in reproduction, but weak instead.

That's what other monsters kill you lightly, or in some cases feed you.

It was a general assessment that goblin meat stinks and cannot be eaten, but some monsters prefer such goblin meat.

As for Ray, I hope he has that kind of fond monster, while I ask Seto to be on perimeter alert and head into the underground space with both Anastasia and Fana.

"Anastasia, maybe I'll be late to pick you up today... well, in the case of Anastasia, does that matter"

Because of Anastasia's personality, if Ray is late to pick him up, he'll be happy to study Whisp that much more.

That's why you don't mind? I talked to him in a manner that was definitely okay with that.

Anastasia nods naturally at Ray's words like that.

"Yeah, that doesn't matter. Why don't you just slow down a little bit?

Probably, Fana, who was listening on Anastasia's side, shakes her neck sideways to deny Anastasia's words.

Anastasia's assistant...... I was honest with you that if you try to be a fana looking after Anastasia to be exact, you would want it to stop if you could have more time to look after Anastasia.

Neither does Ray intend to push Anastasia's troubles on Fana alone, so he nods back at the atmosphere of Fana's plea.

"Hey, what are you both going to do?

Anastasia, who noticed the exchange between Ray and Fana, squeaks in dissatisfaction.

But Ray and Fana both start acting on each one of them regardless of how Anastasia looks like.

Fana left it here yesterday to check the experimental instruments.

Is there anything unusual about Ray in the underground space?... exactly, is there any difference in the magic item that Grimm keeps hidden.

When I left here yesterday, I told Grimm I could look at the Anastasia research materials, and I replied with acknowledgment - I've just been waving it out of the air - so there's been some progress? I had the thought that, as far as Ray is concerned, it doesn't seem like anything in particular has changed.

The location of the magic item has changed a few times, but that's all.

(Can't we find out about this whisp even for Grimm?... Isn't that strange too)

Whisps present in front of us have the ability to transfer various people and objects from different worlds to bring them to this world.

That's obviously not normal ability.

That would be a very rare presence in the history of this world.

Beyond that, there was no way that even some good researchers at Grimm could do something about it so easily.

So far, all I can do as Ray is Anastasia or Grimm, so that means I want you to proceed with your research on Whisp as soon as you can.

(It is also possible that we will be able to go to different worlds in the future)

For Ray's sake, it's still the original world... the return to Earth.

No, I'm ready to bury a bone in this world, so I'm more right in the expression that I'm going to run a little errand instead of exactly returning.

I wanted to buy things that I couldn't buy unless it was Japan on Earth, and do things other than collect different knowledge - especially culinary relationships - and buy books.

I also have a desire to meet family and friends that I have left in the other world.

... Most importantly, Reiji Saber and Ray today are very different from each other from the outside.

Not very much, but no one will be able to understand Ray as Reiji just by looking at him.

"Ray? What's going on?

"No, I was thinking again about what the hell that Whisp is like.... What do you think?

"Whatever they say… all I can say from you is that you are a very interesting person"

All Ray had to do was give it back to me to make sure I told him so.

In fact, in this one case, Anastasia is more than a dependable being, because I decided I should stop saying strange things here and break my mood.

"Right. Then I'll take care of Whisp.... Well, it's time for me to go back, so don't ask me about this one."

We decided that we should get back to the lake as soon as possible, and that's what Ray says and gets out of the underground space.

"Gru!"

Seeing Ray like that, Seto, who was vigilant around him, approached him as he sounded happy.

With such a stroke of Ceto, Ray checks his surroundings...... notices more than ten goblin corpses rolling around, giving him an unpleasant look.

(I knew you were getting more goblins.... I guess we should do a massive goblin hunt once... manpower)

I want to process goblins as much as I can.

However, in the past, it is not easy to imitate the use of other manpower than the transfer of the tower or lake of birth.

Not to mention, you'll need to keep an extra secret if you think about one of the water wolves.

When that happens, it means only those who know the circumstances, but when that happens, the number of people is small.

"Well, should the great man think about that area? I just need to let you know there's more goblins."

When he decides on the policy, Ray rides Seto and follows the spot.

That's how I run through Trent's woods, but along the way I still get attacked several times by a bunch of goblins, and every time I blow up a goblin, I head to the lake.

(You got more goblins than I thought? This is... To be honest, don't be too troublesome)

While thinking that way, Ray threw a spear of dusk at a goblin that seemed far away.
