Legend

"This is..."

What Ray saw as he came back to the Tower of Birth while defeating Goblin was a massive body of Goblin.

"Whoa, Ray. You're back? If you'd come back a little sooner, I'd have saved your ass."

One of the adventurers who sees Ray laughs and says so.

Only the handicappers recommended to the guild as escorts for the tower of birth, and no one is seriously injured even when the goblin degree strikes.

... Some of them had scratches on their scratches, and some of their fellow adventurers made fun of them for dealing with goblins and getting hurt, but only to that extent if you ask me.

"What happened? You don't have to listen, but it's obvious from this situation."

"Oh. Soon after the Rays were gone, all of a sudden the goblins stormed in"

Nearly a hundred goblin bodies rolling on the ground.

The corpses that would be hiding in Trent's woods, together, would make that number even greater.

"I ran into goblins a few times when I was sending Anastasia and Fana... but this looks like maybe we have a massive goblin settlement somewhere in the Trent Forest.... troublesome."

Goblins are weak, so knocking them down is no problem.

But in this case, that number was the problem.

Even though all the adventurers in the land are even stronger because of the weakness with which the goblins die in one blow, the blow is still a blow.

While you wield that blow and kill the goblins, it doesn't necessarily mean the other goblins won't attack you.

"A goblin settlement? I'm pretty sure we should do something early.... then we need to find a goblin settlement first.... Ray, can you ask?

"You should do that. It's just, if you're making a settlement out of the trees, it's hard to find that settlement, right?

"Even if Seto is here?

"Even with Seto. … Of course, you're more likely to find it than you would normally, but that's not why it's easy to find it."

In Ray's words, the adventurer gives a troubled look.

Because Seto thought it would be easy to find a goblin settlement.

But when it comes to the possibility that you won't actually find it, it's not surprising to be discouraged by it.

(If Seto can find it... I know he thinks so, and I think he's actually more likely to find it. But I don't know if that's really gonna happen until I try to find out. Because I figured I'd still better not mention that area now)

Let Seto fly to find out where the Goblin settlement is later.

Having so decided, Ray tried to speak to the adventurer...

"Hey, dude. Is that good?

To the sight you've come into view, squeal so.

Because at the end of his gaze, adventurers and Lizardmans were carrying goblin bodies, giving them to water wolves.

The current water wolf was not in a slightly smaller state than Ceto I saw before I went out and was considerably larger.

It's smaller than it was yesterday when I fought Ray, but it's still big enough to swallow people.

A water wolf of that size swallows a goblin corpse, not a human......

The next time you swallow the body of the goblin that is carried away, it dissolves in its body and disappears.

You can tell what you're doing by looking at the water wolf.

But even if you figure that out, are you sure? The question is...... there was a reason for the smell of goblin meat.

For example, if this were an oak corpse, not a goblin corpse, everyone would be happy to dismantle that corpse and turn it into meat.

But you really have no problem eating goblin meat that should be called miraculous taste? And it was natural to wonder so.

To Ray's words like that, the adventurer nods smudgingly when he understands.

I naturally understood how unsavory the goblin meat was, beyond being born and raised in this world and acting as an adventurer.

"We were surprised at first, too. As far as water wolves go, they're eating goblins so there's nothing wrong with them at all. Maybe you don't have a taste."

"No, you must have a taste."

Water wolves were eating the oak block meat Ray gave them last night, looking delicious.

It's the same way I eat it now that I swallow it whole and dissolve it in my body, but I still tasted the meat satisfactorily enough.

Given the circumstances around it, it wasn't like Ray didn't feel the same question about why the hell it was okay to eat goblin meat.

"There is? But you're eating goblins, aren't you? No, that would be better for us."

Try being the adventurers here and you won't have to bother to take home things like goblin material, crusade proof sites and demon stones.

That is what many people will recognize as even negative if they think laboriously.

"If you can think of it, can you change your taste or not, or even goblin meat purely delicious for water wolves"

It is the taste of the inhabitants of this world who judge goblins as unsavory.

... Ray comes from different worlds to be exact, but it's not surprising that his taste has also become something unique to this world, beyond the fact that Ray's body was created by a single gate of Zeppyre.

But the water wolf was not necessarily the same taste as this world, beyond being from another world.

That was only Ray's prediction, but it would be very gratifying not to actually burn Goblin's body by them.

If you burn a goblin's body, you naturally get smoke, and that smoke deserves to be described as a bad smell just because you're cooking goblin meat.

That's about as much as some people hate it when they say it stains their eyes.

Given the hassle of disposal, it was definitely very gratifying to say that the water wolf would absorb it.

(Worst of all, some means of using terrain manipulation to fill it... well, if the water wolf is going to eat it as it is, should I just leave it to him)

Ray decides so and decides to leave Goblin's body to the water wolf.

(Ah, the body I left in the Trent woods.... No, I don't need to worry about that much. Let's hope the animals and other monsters eat it)

Or will it be the nourishment of the trees growing in the Trento forest?

Watching as I thought about it that way, I saw Seto approaching the water wolf.

(Yesterday in the big state, I was jealous of the water wolf. When I was a little smaller than I am today, I wasn't jealous. And then... if it's your size now, what happens?

With such doubt, Ray looks at Seto as he approaches the water wolf.

The adventurer who was next to Ray also followed Ray's gaze at Seto's actions.

I wonder what the hell will happen in the current situation...

"Gru."

"Wow?... One"

It looked like Ray was having some kind of exchange.

Of course, Seto is capable of communicating with himself and a completely different kind of erotic, with a ringing voice.

With that in mind, it wouldn't be strange to be able to communicate with a water wolf.

That's what I'm convinced of, Ray, but at the same time, what are we talking about in this situation now? It is also true that I am concerned.

"Hey, is that... are we having a conversation?

"I wonder. I don't even know the neighborhood. Maybe we're just pretending we can have a conversation."

To the words of the adventurer, that's what Ray returns.

Even remembering what happened last night, it didn't seem like Seto and the water wolf were in firm communication with each other.

If so, it would mean that Seto and the Water Wolf could now have a conversation in this short time.

(Maybe he came near Seto last night and was talking or something? No, but as of yesterday, Seto must have been pretty wary of the water wolves. Because I don't think so.)

But it's also an unmistakable fact that Seto and the Water Wolf never spent much time in contact.

If so, it was natural for Ray to see what was going on ahead of his gaze and wonder.

... I didn't mean to be particularly concerned because Seto and the water wolf can communicate with each other because it's not inconvenient for Ray.

"Regardless of what Seto and the water wolves can communicate with, it's a big deal that we don't have to think about disposing of Goblin's body. As far as the water wolf goes, it doesn't look like it's gonna be full."

The swallowed goblin corpse is instantly dissolved and absorbed in the water wolf.

It seemed to Ray that the water wolf would never be fuller than it was.

Maybe she eats too many goblin corpses and gets tired of the taste.

"Right. It takes a lot of work to carry the goblins, but other than that, it helps because they eat them.... The difficulty is that it feels connected to the water in the lake, so it shouldn't be that far away."

"Uh... that sounds like it"

From what Ray has seen, the water wolf is basically in the lake.

As I saw it in the morning, sometimes it was up from the lake, but even then the water wolf was connected to the water in the lake.

If you ask me, the water wolf and the lake are connected by what we should call a string of water.

What happens if the string of water is broken?

In the first place, Ray doesn't even know if the water wolf you're looking at right now is the main body, or if it's just making and moving the shape of a water wolf.

(No, there's nothing I can do about thinking about that. That's what water wolves are all about. You'll find out soon enough. Luckily, the water wolf is friendly with us for some reason)

Strangely enough, the water wolves treat the Rays amicably.

Why the hell did you get there? So much so that I think.

As for Ray, I don't have any more complaints than that.

"Whatever, I don't know if I can find it about the Goblin settlement, but I'm pretty sure I should find it sooner anyway.... Seto!

"Gru?"

What happened to Seto, who was talking to the water wolf, to Ray's calling voice? and comes close with his throat ringing.

Ray opens his mouth as he strokes Seto's head like that.

"It's pretty nasty to have a goblin, so I'm going to try flying over Trent's forest for now and see if there's a settlement. Can you help me?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Naturally! and Seto throbbing at Ray's words.

Sometimes it's because Ray says it, but more than that, Seto also smells so annoying to be attacked by goblins when they're moving through the Trent woods.

Even though a normal monster often escapes as is if he understands the difference in power from Seto, the character of existence, that's basically not the case with goblins, and it strikes me.

So while you're at it, you fight and you run away as soon as you know you don't have a winning eye.

Only a truly troublesome opponent wants to crush the Goblin settlement first if it's in the Trent Forest, and yes it's not strange for Seto to think about it.

"Okay. Then I'm gonna come out a little.... the water wolf, do your best to clean up the goblins."

"Wow!"

A water wolf that sounds happy about Ray's words.

As far as that goes, I guess that's still what you think of Goblin's body as delicious.

(Maybe the goblins feel delicious to those in the world who had water wolves?

It is not surprising that there is a great difference in taste beyond being a different world presence in the literal sense.

... but I also wondered why Ray found the oak meat, which is said to be delicious in this world, delicious.

"Should I think about that later?... Seto, let's go."

When Ray on Seto's back calls out, Seto rushes up from the spot to the sky with his wings winged with a run.

As we rise to our usual heights that way, we will see if there are any anomalies in the Trento Forest... not exactly any goblin settlements.

Trento's forest is quite large, but still flying over it is not particularly difficult if it is Seto.

In addition, when it comes to creating settlements, the trees that naturally grow stand in the way.

If they were intelligent, they would also use the trees as camouflages from above, but they wouldn't do that unless they were goblins or exceptions like the superior species.

That's what I thought...

"Yeah. Well... you're right"

I guess it was only natural in a way that I found it, even though it hadn't been that long since I flew over.

Part of the Trento Forest, that's where the Rays are and where the Rays are harvesting trees, they discovered a goblin settlement with neglected trees.
