When he finishes eating the Aural Snake meat, Ray loses what he does in earnest.
Some of the adventurers are helping the researchers, and some of them are taking a nap - although it's still morning.
Prominent among them would still be a mock fight.
Not just between adventurers, but also the Lizardman mixed for a mock fight.
Watching such a battle, Ray wonders what he will do.
Intertwined with the water wolf, I am here now.
But I'm here to interact with water wolves at times of need, and now I don't have anything to do, I'm just confused.
Anything you want to do? That said, I can't think of anything suddenly, researchers... especially to the extent that the man I was trying to find out about the water wolf earlier is watching me not to do odd imitations.
(Dear Dusker, I guess you mixed everything up among the researchers. Or was he wearing a cat in front of Master Dusker?)
With that in mind, Autumn takes the seasonal fruit out of the mysteries to taste.
Naturally, it is not the kind of fruit that can be eaten in the current season, which is heading into summer.
But in Ray's case, there's mystering.
Keep it in there and that's always fresh... you can also eat the fruit right after the harvest.
Snuggly sweet pulp spreads all over my mouth.
I had mango a few times when I was in Japan, but it's close to its flavor.
While enjoying the taste, Ray looks around...
"Ghaaaa!
And a scream that sounds unexpected.
Turning his gaze to the screamer, there was a researcher being bitten by a fish jumping out of the lake.
That fish, which from Ray's point of view seemed to be a carnivorous fish, was about to bite into the researcher's arms and eat a thousand pieces of meat.
As far as the fins are as wide as wings, they can probably also fly, albeit light.
Is it close to Tobiuo? An adventurer who was near that researcher pierces and kills a fish torso with a spear at the end of Ray's gaze with the sentiment that
Fortunately, the fish is about 20cm to 30cm and not that big.
I guess that's why the attacked researchers were also injured, but not that much.
"Oh, thank you. Thank you."
"No, never mind, I just don't know yet what kind of monsters there are in this lake. In that sense, I still think we should be a little more careful"
"Right. Let me do that."
Researchers say that much to the adventurer.
If that was all it would have been, it would have been a good sight.
But when researchers used potions in places where they had been chopped a thousand times, they immediately began to examine fish that had eaten their own meat and chopped a thousand times.
If you're normal, you can't imitate things like biting yourself and examining someone who's eaten meat and chopped it up a thousand times.
No, except maybe after some time, but this is how we find out right away, so those who watched a series of actions are clearly surprised.
"Wow... that's awesome, a researcher"
One of the adventurers squeaks and squeals, and the others nod to agree with it.
I'm here. Adventurers can say they're all skilled.
But even for such an adventurer, the behavior of the researchers was astonishing.
"Sometimes if we get hurt in the middle of a fight, we can use the potion to recover immediately..."
"Researchers must be tough, too."
Ray also agrees with the conversation that is taking place a little further away.
Most of all, if you're sleeping in this camp, researchers know about researchers like Anastasia and Fana.
Anastasia, however, would lure her in as a research subject if she had a Whisp, but that's only if she's right in front of her.
If not... if that's what you came back to this camp, you don't show what you're doing with Whisp in front of you.
(That sight I was trying to lick Whisp...... when I saw that one, that's not strange that a hundred years of love would be cold in one shot)
Seriously, that sight I was about to lick Whisp because Anastasia is beautiful was pretty shocking.
With that in mind, Ray turned his gaze around the lake...
"Hot."
Speak short.
Because I've found researchers approaching the burning slime.
That, too, is a researcher who was obsessed with water wolves, so I can largely imagine what he's trying to do by looking at the burning slime. … the expression that it can be done is more appropriate.
"Chi!
Ray rushes up from where he was sitting, to the burning slime... running toward researchers approaching that slime to be exact.
Its travel speed is close to full force for Ray as well.
Try to be the one watching, it wasn't strange that Ray's appearance seemed to vanish in an instant.
Those around them didn't know what was going on, but they can still understand that something was definitely going on when Ray acted like that.
Not knowing that the others are feeling that way, Ray hurries to where he wants to be.
Researchers approach the burning slime.
Even researchers cannot touch the breadth more than the slime is burning.
That's what makes researchers hurt, even if they touch it poorly, but it can be a strange disturbance because of it, even as a ray.
"What are you doing!
The researchers, who were close to the burning slime, stop moving to that voice they heard from behind.
And when I turned around, it was Ray there.
Researchers look at Ray and reveal frustration.
"What are you doing? Of course, that's research. Did this burning slime come out of that lake? Then it's also one of my tasks this time"
"... that slime is dangerous"
"I know that. But this slime is definitely one of the subjects of the study. Besides, it's unclear how long this slime keeps burning? Then we need to make sure here."
"... if you need to confirm that, it's not your job"
To Ray's words, the researcher puts blood vessels on his frustrating less forehead.
If it wasn't Ray who said that, researchers wouldn't have gotten so angry either.
But I was unhappy with Ray about one of the water wolves.
That ray cautioned me again, so there's no way that pride researchers could follow it.
"Don't be ridiculous!
Leaving it to frustration to scream, the researchers run straight out toward the burning slime.
In this situation, even if we arrive at a place with a burning slime, it is not very good, but we cannot imitate it by doing research.
But the man, who is moving only by his will against half Ray, doesn't look like he noticed such inconsistencies in his actions, he keeps running.
Naturally, even as Ray, you can't let researchers imitate you like that.
Above and beyond that, the only thing Ray could do now was seize researchers before they arrived where the slime was.
And... in researchers and rays, physical abilities are, naturally, different.
Ray catches up where the researchers have gone a few steps, grabbing that arm and throwing it forcefully.
"Gube!"
Such a scream leaked from the mouth of the researcher, who was still slapped to the ground, albeit at ease.
Originally, only researchers prepared on purpose by Dusker could do such an imitation.
But if you tried to get your hands on this burning slime, it was different.
Unlike friendly water wolves in the lake, this slime was an enemy until it was clear.
That is what moves only by instinct without intelligence, and has properties such as being attacked if it is the person you can eat who is in front of you.
It doesn't work under the influence of Ray's magic continuing to burn now, but if the researchers gave a little bit of a bad move, the worst slime could have moved around freely again.
It's just a slime the size of a hill or a little mountain.
If such a presence turns out to storm around, it's only natural that you don't want to think about what the hell kind of damage will happen.
"Gu... gu..."
I can hear researchers groaning at the pain of being slapped to the ground, but as Ray, I don't think I've done it too much in particular.
This time, it was a disturbance that could have resulted in the collapse of the Guild if it had been bad.
With that in mind, I'm pretty sure one of the researchers was lucky to get hurt.
"Ray, what the hell is this... no, I can predict without asking"
At this point, the knight finally catches up and asks Ray that.
Nevertheless, when I understood that it was the researchers at the time of the Water Wolf who were moaning about the pain on the ground, I guess I somehow understood the situation.
Open your mouth with a scratch.
"Is this next for the water wolf?... you'll need to report it up there."
"If you do, this one will help. When these things come and go, it's not too much trouble over here."
Ray agrees with the knight's words from the bottom of his heart.
It is understandable to Ray that he is more curious than he is a researcher.
I can, but it's also true that it's still very difficult to be imitated like this one.
I know Dusker is the person he chose on purpose, but it was Ray's honest feelings that he still wanted him not to come from the next investigation if he could.
"In the meantime, should this researcher remain at rest"
Until earlier, when I was groaning with pain, but for that pain, or for any other reason, I saw a researcher who had fainted at some point, and the knight groans.
Even as Ray, I didn't mean to disagree with that opinion at all, so I wouldn't do anything to stop the knight from taking him.
Even if the researcher is being carried in a hug that is called a princess hug by a knight.
Shouldn't we tie our hands and feet with strings so that researchers like that don't wake up and get violent? It would even be natural for me to think that I was annoyed.
If we let him sleep on the carriage carriage or somewhere without doing anything like this, that could cause some kind of disturbance again.
"Hey, that guy... why don't you tie him up so he can't move?
"No, that's just it's a little..."
To Ray's suggestion, the knight says so and shakes his head sideways.
If you're a knight, you're the one Dusker sent, no matter how problematic your personality is.
You can't imitate someone like that by tying them up.
If this is what you did when you suddenly burst out with a weapon... it was different.
Ray couldn't do it either, and that was a proposition to the extent that I wish I could, so even if a knight denies his word, I'm not particularly dissatisfied with it.
Right. I simply thought so.
"Whatever it is, you'll need to do something about this first... but if it's going to rumble out again, I think we need to deal with it accordingly, okay?
"Ugh... I know"
If you try to be a knight, is that exactly the shape of being pinched by your boss and his men?
Whatever it is, it comes back to where everyone is that way.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"Wow, wow, wow!"
And, as if waiting for that moment, Seto and the water wolf are all in place to squeal.
The ringing is not like Ray sounding safely because he's back safely, but rather a vigilant ringing against someone he doesn't know anything about.
"What!?
Based on those two appearances, Ray decides he's not joking about it. He takes Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering half-reflexively.
Instantly or a few seconds behind Ray, the Adventurers and Lizardmans set up their own weapons so that whatever happens.
The researchers have no idea what the hell happened and just look around like they panicked about Seto and the water wolf.
It would be the difference between adventurers and researchers around here.
But... after more than a dozen seconds as it is, nothing is going to happen.
That's what I was wondering if I'd show up as soon as I was in the current situation or even as a powerful monster.
"What happened? Is that a prank?"
Soon the knight, who had thrown the researcher to the ground and had the long sword in his hand, squeals so, but as far as Ray is concerned about Seto and the water wolf, it doesn't look like a very prank.
Once again, Ray, who turned his gaze to Seto and the water wolf, saw two people staring at one place and being on guard.
What lies ahead of those two gazes...
"Whisp?"
Yes, Ray shrugged.
