Legend

"To our new friends… and to the cooperation of our friends, this settlement has been protected!

In the words of the drum, put up a cup made of the tree that everyone had, and drink up the liquor inside at once.

Only Ray was a uniquely flavoured tea that the Centaurs drink because they are not very good at alcohol, but almost everyone else drinks.

A few exceptions would be the children.

Nevertheless, it is also alcohol diluted with water, alcohol and animal milk that the children drink.

Either way, drink up the liquid that was in the cup that everyone put up.

... Some of them could not necessarily welcome Ray's presence, like Drat and his surroundings, but even the table could not speak of dissatisfaction more than the elder drums welcome Ray.

Nor could we do anything to break such a benefactor's welcome party, beyond the fact that there was no doubt that this settlement had been saved because there were actually other Rays besides that.

Especially an elder named Drum, who exerts a strong influence in the Centaur clan.

Even if there is anything more to Ray's presence than that, I can't speak of it here.

And most importantly...

(Father)

Dorat whines in his heart with a complicated mood about his own father named Drum.

I had the pride of being fully active in this settlement myself and demonstrating my presence.

But at the same time, I know that Zai, my age, is getting inferior.

That's regret, and even anger at my impudence.

(But... without Ray, the damage to this settlement would have been enormous. With that in mind, I guess I'll still have to thank you this time)

Dorat sees what's going on around him as he feels comfortable with the heat of his throat-burning liquor.

Ray's defeat of Dragonias is why we're having a banquet.

Had it not been for Ray, there would have been great damage to those in the settlement as well.

If that were the case, it would not have been very possible to imitate the fact that everyone would have feasted with a smile.

With that in mind, I still thought about enjoying this feast without thinking about it.

"Mr. Ray, this dish is delicious. This is the specialty dish of this settlement!

Woman...... No, a girl of lower age than Ray, like if she's only ten, gives Ray a plate of cooked trees.

At first I had distracted the existence of Ray, but even a little bit, I guess I've gotten used to the existence of Ray.

The presence of Seto is also significant in this case.

At first they were the Centaurs who didn't know how to deal with Griffon before they had seen him at all, but Seto maximized his personable nostalgia.

No, Seto wasn't aiming and imitating like that, he didn't imitate the way he attacked himself, and he was showing confusion over there, so he was right to walk away from Seto against it.

As a result, Seto was accepted.

Even if the world is different, women, children and, in some cases, men have come to love the familiar Seto.

... If you are a man, you find him adorable and at the same time grateful.

In the battlefield, many were helped by Seto when he was pinching against Dragonias with red scales.

If I tried being such a person, I would have been unable to tell them not to favor me because I was showing so much adorability over helping myself.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto eats a chunk of meat served, delightfully.

The cattle of this settlement are never abundant, either, as they have fled many settlements and have been evacuated and rendezvous.

Still that he defeated Dragonias... and the injured came out, but the dead are a feast happy that no one came out, so he's crushing a few sheep and goats.

It was only natural for Seto to rejoice because the dish was served with a carefully roasted chunk of that meat.

(I guess it was also a pleasure for Seto not to be afraid to look at his size)

Ray looks at the delightful ceto while applying sweet and sour fruit and eating roasted meat.

Though Ceto was adored in many places, including Gilm, there are by no means many who are frightened by the appearance of Ceto, some of whom are about three meters long.

Such a man is frightened at first, but when he deals with Seto, he gets used to it immediately.

Ray could have predicted that he would be happy as a ceto because there was no step of being frightened by the presence of ceto at first.

(Even so, the fact that I'm not surprised to see Seto means maybe there's no Griffon in this world? Or maybe he's here. You don't think I'm in this meadow?... even though I have Centaur)

All the beings Ray knows may not be in this world.

It was natural to think about it, but I still have some strange thoughts about it.

However, Griffon was a very rare monster in Elgin, so it's not surprising if it's rare in this world.

(We also need to gather information around it.... If Griffon is a rare monster outside of this meadow, maybe it's more likely to be targeted)

If something like a powerful man in this world wants a griffon, naturally it will be a big battle.

That could involve the worst Centaur tribe.

However, given that the number of Centaurs is diminished by the raids of Dragonias, even those who desire Seto will never be able to retreat.

That's why we need to do a lot of research in advance to make sure that doesn't happen.

"Ray? What's up?

Eating skewers, Zai asks wondering.

While the feast was taking place, I guess I wondered if you had a serious look.

To Zai like that, Ray opens his mouth looking at Seto.

"In this world...... no, there's no monster around here called Griffon?

"No, you've never seen me before. He said the elders didn't even know."

To Zai's words, Ray is so convinced that Griffon is still unusual around here.

Nevertheless, I don't think at all about things like putting Seto back in Elgin in the present situation or leaving him on this occasion because it's rare.

In the first place, without Seto, there is the question of how Ray will conduct his actions against Dragonias.

What Ray is trying to use this time is a fire whirlwind he has used several times before.

But this fire whirlwind cannot be caused by Ray alone.

With Seto's help, it's possible to create it.

Other than that, Seto is supposed to be his own half body to Ray.

… There is also the question of what to do with the means of travel without Ceto.

Ray is often with Seto, so the smell of Seto is really stained, and ordinary horses don't like it.

As a matter of fact in the first place, this is a settlement of the Centaur tribe.

When everyone moves, they run and move on their own feet.

That would mean that Ray would run on his own without Seto... or move on someone's back.

As for Ray, I didn't want to bother Centaur that much.

"Is Seto still unusual? I was wondering if Ray's place would be unusual, even if he wasn't in this meadow."

"Right. Even where I was, it was pretty well known, but no one ever actually said they'd seen it, well, usually Griffon's not that much of a nostalgic monster, so if you run into him, you're likely to get killed."

In the meantime, that's what Ray tells you, thinking you're not throwing up.

In fact, in the Guild...... no, even if you look at the Kingdom of Mireana, or Elgin as a whole, there was no doubt that the presence of Griffon was very rare.

"I see. When that happens, should I stop treating you like that?

Zai's gaze is directed at the centaurs who adore Seto.

If it's such a rare monster, I thought we should treat it more carefully.

But Ray shakes his neck sideways at Zai's words like that.

"Seto is originally nostalgic. Yeah, I'm glad you're okay with that. I think you're happy. … of course, only against friendly opponents"

Friendly towards friendly opponents, hostile towards hostile opponents.

That was Seto's stance, and so was Ray.

... No, it would be more right that Ceto was also affected by it precisely because Ray had such an attitude.

For that reason, if everyone is being friendly, there is no reason for Seto to do something.

To Ray's explanation, Zai is convinced that he is.

"One thing the day after tomorrow...... I know it's going to be a lot of trouble, thank you"

Unexpectedly, the subject changes.

No, actually, I'd like to talk about Seto, but I guess it was a preposition for that.

Given Zai's serious personality, I could have predicted that much for Ray.

"Right. Was it five days each way? It's going to be quite a long trip."

"No, I guess Ray will get your stuff, won't he? For example, a day or… in some cases, two days or so, could shorten the time"

Five days each way, ten days round trip, that's all you need to pack.

Not to mention Centaur eats a lot just because his body is big.

... In terms of the amount of food you eat, the smaller lay of your body than Centaur is much the same.

Other than that, Red Scale Dragonias will survive Ray's attack on Dragonias, and otherwise colored Dragonias could survive damage as well.

"Can you shorten that much?"

"It's only a prediction, though. If we don't act, we don't know exactly."

Wouldn't you be able to move faster using a seto cage?

That's what I thought, Ray, carrying vinegar pickles of leafy vegetables in his mouth, I'll try to suggest it.

"On the magic item I have, there's a ceto cage for Ceto to grab and fly. With that, I think we can move faster, but what do you say?

"Let the sky... fly? We did?

Coming out of Ray's mouth was probably a totally unexpected word for Zai as well.

Ask him that in such a way as to be afraid.

If you try to lay, you frequently fly on ceto when traveling, and you haven't used ceto cages once or twice.

That's why I nod naturally to Zai's words.

"Not exactly the Zays fly, but the Zays go into a giant cage, and Seto grabs it and carries it."

"I can't."

Hearing Ray's explanation, Zai affirms immediately.

Huh? And Ray looks strange about how Zai looks like that... and gives an unexpected look.

No way, because I didn't think Zai would dismiss his opinion so lightly.

"We are creatures running through the earth. More than that, I don't know what would happen if I did something like fly. … which can also mean death by unexpected shock"

"It's..."

Whatever it is, it won't be there.

I thought so, Ray, but that's only what I think because I'm Ray.

If Centaur in this world had such characteristics, flying would be suicidal.

As much as you risk that, you should normally run on the ground and move.

"Okay. If Zai says so, I will."

"Helpful. I'm not going to lose to anyone if I'm going to run the ground, but I don't want to imitate anything like flying.... so where Ray sleeps..."

"Oh, I'm fine. I have a little business tonight."

"... errands? But walking out of the meadows at night... no, with Ray's strength, is there a problem?"

The meadows of the night are dressed for a variety of animals, monsters and bandits alike.

Even centaurs in this settlement don't go out so easily at night.

... Nevertheless, Ray has the strength to burn and kill most of Dragonias in one blow.

That was the only thing that could easily be dealt with, no matter what attacked us.

Ning Ro, if you try to ray it, it was almost to be hoped that the bandits would attack you.

Because Ray's main office, known as the Bandit Eater, is unleashed.

The presence of monsters can also be welcomed in the sense that they bring back information about this world.

"Right. I'm staying over here tomorrow night, but I have things to do tonight and during the day tomorrow, so I'm gonna ask you to do it."

Zai snorted firmly at Ray's words.
