"Hmm... even if you look here, it still feels like you're back"

Ray squeaks smudgingly as he travels through the Trent Forest on Ceto.

It's been a little while since Ray came back into this world.

There was nothing like whether Grimm had a strong interest in Dragonias' body, giving priority to that research and hearing more about the world beyond.

... Most of all, there's not much Ray knows about the other world.

There exists a species called Centaur, precisely, and even more so, there is only about information that people make their country away from the meadows.

Ning Lo, the information obtained most attracted Grimm's interest was the information about Dragonias and… above all, the body.

Grimm also knows how much magic Ray possesses, and even more so about his magical powers.

It would be more impossible not to be interested in dragonias with red scales because they endured such ray magic.

Absolute defense against flames and heat… may be too much to say, but it definitely has an extremely strong defense and endurance.

As for the grim, he also wanted the body of Dragonias with scales of other colors, but he had an unfortunate atmosphere when he said that it could not be obtained because it had been completely burned with the magic of Ray over there.

Either way, as a Grimm, I have a strong interest in Dragonias, and I guess I'm focusing on your research now.

For that reason, this is how Ray was currently headed for the camp.

Ray suddenly jumped out of the camp with Seto by the end of the day.

Naturally, those who watched it should be concerned about what the hell happened to Ray, and as Ray, there's no way they won't explain what happened to the anomaly.

Above all, it was also necessary to explain why it was night but Anastasia and Fana didn't come back.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seto, who was running through the forest of Trent, accidentally rattles his throat.

What's that noise? I was a ray with questions like that, but eventually I understood what Seto sounded like.

There were some signs around.

Precisely, Ray and Seto were more right to stick in while several signs existed.

Seto is probably not on guard in that situation either, because the signs were something he remembered.

Ray also notices the owners of the signs, although he was slightly behind Seto.

(Can't you do it?)

The bearers of those signs are the adventurers who are entrusted with escorting the tower of birth.

All of a sudden during the day Ray went somewhere feeling weird with Seto, and there was nothing like coming back after hours.

In that case, it wouldn't be strange to take it for granted that something had happened to the Rays.

And it was only natural to be more alert to what was going on around us than something had happened to the Rays.

"Hey, it's me! There's Seto too!

When Ray screams like that, the tension he was feeling from the signs around him rapidly disappears.

I guess I couldn't deny the possibility that someone was imitating Ray's voice and saying something... but I guess I could still recognize that it was Ray's voice.

Or were we confident we could do something ourselves, even if it wasn't Ray?

The adventurers who are guarding the Tower of Birth are brilliant adventurers with a lot of trust from the Alliance.

You knew I was just sorry if I fought Ray himself, but still, if he was the one who pretended to be Ray... and that wasn't so strange to think about.

Either way, the adventurers who heard Ray reveal themselves.

And check Ray clearly even in the moonlight... before then, if we can see Seto's presence, we can recognize that Ray is the only one who has spoken out.

It wouldn't be that hard to pretend to be Ray.

But if you ask me if I can prepare a replacement griffon for Ceto, who's always with Ray, that's limitless.

"Ray, you were late. It's been a long time since I popped out, but what happened?

"What about Mr. Anastasia? Looks like Fana's not even here."

That's what an adventurer in love with Anastasia asks, but as for Ray, I wonder how he answered in this case.

About that underground space... and about Whisp, only a really limited number of people know.

Beyond that, there is no way that there is a hole in the underground space that leads to another world, and even more, the grim has it fixed... and so on, which is very unlikely to be said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about that area. I don't even have permission from Master Dusker."

That's all Ray can say in the present situation.

For Dusker, one thing about this whisp is very important.

More than that, it wasn't something Ray could say in a detour here.

To Ray's words, the adventurer who worried about Anastasia's whereabouts will be unable to say anything.

I have something to say, but if they put Dusker's name in my mouth, I have to shut my mouth.

If you were an adventurer around there, you would have said a lot without doing anything to stop you here, but I guess you had to do that only to the person recommended to the guild.

That's how we head to the camp with the adventurers around us.

Among those who were scattered around, there is also the figure of Lizardman, and Ray is blinded to you.

(Yeah, I knew it wasn't like Dragonias at all)

Dragonias doesn't look anything like Lizardman just because it looks like him, but it's clear that if you look at Lizardman up close like this, it's very different from Dragonias.

However, if you ask me if I look like either a person or a Lizardman, sometimes I still have scales, or the majority of people would say Lizardman.

'Master Ray, what's wrong?

That's what Zozo asks when he sees Ray looking at his buddy Lizardman.

It's moonlight and it's not that hard to read the letters written on the tablet.

"No, it's nothing.... just a little Zozo when we get back to camp... no, should Gaga be there too? Whatever it is, I want to ask Lizardman"

"Ha, I don't mind that."

Try zozozo and Ray is going to answer whatever he asks.

That is even the secret of the royal family.... but in Zozo's position, I could hardly know the secrets of the royal family.

"Please."

Answer briefly, Ray heads to the camp.

(It's actually possible that that world is the world of the Zozos... I wonder. I don't think that's very likely given the verbal problem or anything)

Dragonias and Lizardman.

Similar, but also quite a few different places.

Given the circumstances around it, it is still natural to think of it as a different world.

I do... Still, I still wonder about the association with Lizardman because of the name Dragonias.

While thinking that way, eventually the Rays arrive at the camp.

There were adventurers and Lizardmans who were not on perimeter alert in the camp, as well as the knights in charge here.

While greeting those people lightly...... naturally, many want to hear what Ray was going on and what he was doing and they come close.

"I told the adventurers who were in the Trent Forest, but I can't explain the details without the permission of Master Dusker. Just..."

So once the word is cut, Ray takes Dragonias' body out of the mysteries.

Its corpse, which is decapitated at death size, produces a strong smell of blood around it.

"One!"

And, you smelled that blood, the water wolf shows up.

... from the sound of it, Ray wonders if it's a dog, not a wolf.

"How was the water wolf? No, we haven't been apart that long."

"Woon!"

To Ray's words, a water wolf sounds cheerful when he says it's night.

... or maybe because it's night, I'm fine.

Water wolves are also monsters to be called the Lord of the Lake - but only the recognition of the Rays - even though there are no demonic stones.

Naturally, such water wolves too...... the water wolves who understood the language of this world in the short time since the lake was transferred are also definitely monsters.

It was normal to move around during the day, but it wasn't strange to get better at night.

I also have questions about when the hell he's asleep.

"Oh, man. Ray. What the hell is this monster?

As Ray gazes at the water wolf, one of the adventurers speaks out like that.

Nonetheless, none of those surprises are that strong of a surprise.

Because this is the Gilm of the Border.

If you're just talking about unknown monsters, that's why it's not weird how many or even if they exist.

That's what it is, as soon as you care about it. Unknown animals and plants, insects, birds, monsters… it's not strange to discover a variety of new species.

"I can't tell you the details, but it's the body of a monster I knocked down in this one.... What do you think?

"I don't care what they say... hey?

Speaking to Ray, the adventurer turns his gaze to his companions around him in a bewildered manner.

I know it's a new species, but I feel something from the monster in front of me that's not all.

(Well, actually, that's not wrong)

Centaur is by no means weak, as Zai had described himself as a grassland champion.

But Dragonias is such a formidable enemy that Centaur can fight with a few of them and finally defeat them.

Ray can also easily imagine what the hell kind of commotion that would be if Dragonias showed up in this world.

"Remember, it's a powerful monster you can't fit in.... So, Zozo. Were these monsters in your world?

Some adventurers are slightly... heartily surprised not to be known around them for such Ray's words.

This was, obviously, a circumspection of what Ray said and did.

If it was the adventurers around here who were likely listening without understanding the meaning of Ray's words, then Hate and being here are all adventurers recognized as competent by the Alliance.

… although it may have been fortunate to be unhappy that only those judged to be trustworthy had been gathered.

Ask Zozo from another world if he's a monster you know.

It is also similar to Lizardman in that it has scales.

... I wouldn't have understood that the lower body is a lizard-like body, but whatever monsters exist in front of me is somewhere resembling Lizardman.

It would be natural for someone to question Ray's behavior like that.

But...

"No, you're the first monster I've ever seen"

It was half as predictable for Ray, Zozo replies.

Because of the language in the other world, it was possible to predict that it might be a different world than the one where Zozo and the others were.

But the word didn't make sense to Dragonias, so maybe... it was a question with a faint hope that maybe it really did, but unfortunately it ended in failure.

"Right, okay. … then this is fine…"

When Ray stores Dragonias' body in the mistering, he turns his gaze to the knight to do what he needs to do next.

"We need to contact Master Dusker on this one. I can't today... so I'm going to head to the guild as soon as it's tomorrow, but if you have a report or something to take with you then, just have it ready."

"Okay. I have no problem with that."

"And I guess I won't be able to come back about ten days from tomorrow. No, look what you can afford. Just think you won't be back in about fifteen days."

Takeshi.

Until now, adventurers listening to Ray and the Knight conversations without any particular agitation bother.

Naturally. The construction of the Gilm, which is currently under way, has a very large role to play by a person named Ray.

It was still a big problem that something happened that Ray couldn't come home for fifteen days in that situation.

"Do what?

"I'm sorry, but I can't say that either. Don't worry, I'll tell Master Dusker."

Answer the knight's question, yes.

There was still a lot to think about, but the knight was not convinced when he heard that Ray would tell Dusker what was going on.

Others didn't seem so easily convinced.
