"Oh... this is amazing"
Ray squeaks with surprise on Seto's back as he sees the settlement to which Zai belongs.
From the word clan or settlement, dozens of people exactly...... I thought so, no matter how many, about a hundred people, but from what Ray has seen all the way from a remote place, it is superior to a thousand.
No, on the contrary, there were close to 10,000 of them.
Why are you calling it a settlement when there are so many people?
That's what Ray didn't know.
"Ha, ha, ha... well, I guess so.... Our family is, uh... the biggest around here. Huh... but I've only grown so much lately."
You could breathe while you were talking, Zai only speaks smoothly at the end.
Still, though, I recovered fastest of the five centaurs I encountered with Ray.
The other four Centaurs are still breathing hard and have not been able to get their breathing ready.
(Well, I knew it)
Looking at the other Centaurs, Ray doesn't look like he's getting any rougher breathing, which is why he strokes Ceto like he doesn't have a problem running the same distance now or again.
It was Zays Centaur who was confident in the speed of running, but the competition with Seto would crush its pride.
Still running trying not to be left in Seto... the result was the situation now.
Even if someone runs five kilometers in a jog, it's only five kilometers at his own pace.
If you ask me if I can continue to run five kilometers at a speed that runs short distances, the answer is no.
Zai and his companions were unable to beat Seto... and the result was this current situation.
From Ray's point of view, I think it's amazing that he ran through this long distance, even if he's severely out of breath now.
Nevertheless, even if you think that's awesome, if you say that here, you decide that it would hurt the pride of Zays, and you don't imitate it like you would mouth it.
I mean I arrived at the settlement, so I go down from Seto and ask Zai.
"It's only recently that I've grown so much... is it also a festival?
"No, that's not why. There are so many things going on."
I'm curious as to what that circumstance is, but for now I decide I shouldn't ask that, and shift the subject to something else.
... Fortunately, because the story on that topic approached me from the other side, because it's huge.
"So? Looks like some Centaur's coming from the settlement... does that know Zai?
That's what I asked Ray, but I could easily imagine that someone I knew would not be a friendly acquaintance.
Anyway, that group of Centaurs obviously turned their hostility on Zai... and on themselves and Seto.
That group of Centaurs was headed by more than ten men of leadership walking in the lead.
If there are four of Zai's companions... and there are five of them even if Zai is put in, the number of them will more than double.
Open your mouth in such a way that the other person understands that too, even though they are hostile, they are more in their favor.
"Zai, what are you doing? The outsiders... I didn't know you'd bring someone like you'd never seen them either. I don't know what such imitation means at this time of year.
"This person is not associated with them. I think it's obvious if you look at Ray. Or does Dorat think Ray's one of them?
To Zai's words, the man called Dorat groans abominably and stares at Ray.
There was hostility in that gaze...... no, it was even mixed with killing.
"I don't know where or who you are or what you came to this settlement with. But, okay? Leave now. This is an order."
"... Huh? You think you're giving me orders?
Ray tells his opponent to be provocative when he tells him it's an order.
I guess I didn't care about Ray's attitude like that. One of the guys surrounded by a guy called Dorat tried to kick the ground and pack an intermission with Ray and stick out the spear he had...
"Whoa!
But at the next moment, Ray, who quickly dodges a spear blow, kicks his leg and rolls it to the ground as he grabs the spear and forcefully unbalances his opponent.
The opponent is Centaur and, unlike two-legged Ray, has four legs.
It should be able to withstand a slight loss of balance, but Ray kicked his off balance leg and knocked him to the ground half forcefully.
"That's dangerous. What the hell are you doing?
"You!
Drut, defeated by his buddy, points the spear at Ray with signs of anger.
The same goes for the surroundings of the drat, of course.
I'm turning my gaze toward Ray with animosity and killing intentions.
Seeing such faces, Ray takes the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of the mistering.
"Nah!?
A weapon of long objects suddenly removed from a place of nothing.
Ray didn't have such a thing, that's what everyone on this scene understood about it.
If this is a guild, since Ray has mistering, those who are surprised to see such a sight… not all of them are null, but nevertheless almost all know.
But that's only because Ray has been working in the Guild for a long time, and if you try the likes of Zai and Dorat, you'll think like what the hell Ray did.
"You... who are you!?
"Well, who is it? I'm not going to be hostile to you guys for now... but if you're going to attack me, I'm going to let you handle this one, too?
"... cum..."
A weapon with two long objects, Death Size and Twilight Spear, that I would not have thought Ray could have used.
At a glance, we can see that they are not the same size as the weapons around them.
The way Ray sets up those two weapons is in the hall, and if he makes a detour attack, even from the drat, he gives it a painful counterattack, I guess because he understands so.
In fact, Ray was also going to fight back if his opponent did attack him, so Dorat's perception is never wrong.
But... that's what I found out because Dorat has more than a certain strength.
It is understandable that there are also those who stand on their arms commensurate with the surrounding of the drat, and that such are strong merely by looking at Ray's set-up.
But if we tried to make Ray incapable of measuring his strength, it just seemed like his two-legged opponent, who was overwhelmingly smaller than us, was desperately in a vanity with a weapon incompatible with him.
"Hey, you. What are you picking up with a weapon that doesn't fit your height? In the first place, you are not familiar with such a weapon."
That said, when one of the Centaurs approaches Ray, he tries to take the Death Size.
The act of taking the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of nowhere, or Seto pointing a frustrating glance at himself a little further away from Ray, doesn't look like he noticed at all.
No, it's not strange to realize it's supposed to be around there, but the person who's been calling Ray has been blinded by Death Size, and that's all he's been thinking about, wanting to take it and make it his own.
I could understand the idea of such an opponent, Ray, but I throw it at Centaur, who approached the death size with the meaning of the punishment.
"Okay...... whoa!
At first Ray threw the Death Size, so I honestly thought he was going to give it to me or something, but the moment I received the Death Size, I couldn't stand and it was crushed by the Death Size.
"Gu... gu... Somebody, help..."
For what I'm seeing beside you, it just seems like a joke or something that Centaur is crushed by Death Size.
The others around me were also in pain at first thinking that was a joke or something - it looks like - pointing their gaze at their peers like what the hell they were doing in these situations.
But when the face of a man crushed by Death Size is complaining of pain to the point of sadness, the story is different.
"I'm telling you, that's not an act, is it? My death size... the sickle is very heavy when held by someone other than me"
"What!?
Dorat hears Ray's words and once again sees himself surrounded by being crushed by Death Size.
Even the foot of a horse characteristic of Centaur cannot stand, rolling over the ground.
"You!
Drat screams at Ray when he sees his surrounding face distorted by pain, but Ray doesn't even show how he cared about such a drat, and moves closer to the surrounding being crushed by Death Size.
Naturally, Dorat and his surroundings are wary of such rays.
But Ray, who even ignored that gaze, reached as he did… from above the falling Centaur body, got the Death Size and lifted it.
"Nah!?
Drat and his surroundings watching it...... no, on the contrary, there is also a startling voice coming out of Zai's mouth.
Naturally. Until a moment ago, Ray lightly lifted the death size that was crushing every big man to the ground.
I naturally saw Ray have that death size until earlier, but still, if it can be lifted so easily after seeing the current sight, I'd rather not be surprised at that.
But with such confusion around him, Ray turns his gaze to Drat with a death-size and dusk spear in his hand and opens his mouth.
"So? What do we do? Are you still willing to do this? Then we'll resist some of this, too?
"Gu... Huh, okay, Zai! I warned you! If those two legs do something, it's on you! Don't forget that!
Screaming sharply, Dorat walks away from the spot.
The surrounding men follow such a drat.
The man crushed by Death Size also stood up and glanced at Ray, who had made himself scratch his shame, with a murderous caged gaze, before going after Drat.
"That, Ray. The Great Sickle... Was it Death Size? Is that really heavy? No, more than that. Where'd you get that out of? Until recently, I had no such thing."
Ask Ray in such a way that Zai is afraid.
For Zai, I had no idea about a person named Ray.
"Well, you know... right, can you understand with the word magic item?
"... a magic item? What the hell is that?
Don't you see?
In this world, words make sense for some reason.
On top of that, Ray and Zai also understood the meaning of certain words in common, like Centaur.
Given the circumstances around it, maybe the word magic item also makes sense.
That's what I thought, but unfortunately Zai couldn't understand the meaning of the word magic item that came out of Ray's mouth.
(This is all kinds of disgusting. Some words are common and understandable, others are incomprehensible. Or, in fact, there are magic items in this world as well, but there's also the possibility that they simply don't flow up to this meadow... isn't there?)
Still this meadow...... no, I can't say anything more for sure as Ray than I only know about Zai and the settlement where his family lives.
(In the meantime, do we have to explore the area by hand now? They say there's a country of people, and if we go that way, there's some clue... I hope there's one. If Anastasia is in this world, she's going to be more interested in centaur settlements and places like that than people's countries)
Given the Anastasian personality Ray knows, it's not strange to do so.
And Fana could immediately think of the sight of being pulled by such anastasia.
"Magic... you know what I mean?
"Hmm. I can't, but some people use magic like my wife"
Ray could also understand that magic and magic were recognized in this world with that word.
Keep explaining, reassuring me that the explanation is easier because of it.
"By using magic, it's a tool that works in many ways. For example…"
Tell him so, Ray casts his magic into the spear of dusk, while throwing it to the opposite side of the settlement.
"Become!?
Stunning voices leak from Zai's mouth.
From Zai's point of view, I could understand that a spear of dusk is a tremendous product.
That's so awesome that I don't know how much the hell it's worth.
So why did you imitate such a spear throwing, and the next moment you tried to say so, the spear of dusk was in Ray's hand.
A spear I should have thrown a few seconds ago.
"This... the hell..."
"Demonstrate special abilities in this way. This is the magic item."
With that said, Ray kept the Death Size and the Dusk Spear in mystering.
