Legend

Ray and Seto were canceled due to the uproar that came, the martial arts club in the settlement.

That finally ends in about an hour.

It was about that hour that Ray saw, but Ray still understood that everyone fighting was fighting quite seriously.

I guess that's how we decided that for the Centaurs, we still need to get involved, not just rely on Ray to save the crisis we're in.

I don't think it's splendid as Ray to not show you how to rely on it. I think that's why I honestly want Ray to refrain from going with me to the annihilation of Dragonias.

If this is normal - although it cannot be said very normal to exterminate Dragonias - then we need manpower to carry all kinds of supplies needed for a one-way five-day journey, or less likely given Dragonias' hunger, but to carry the treasures that are accumulating… Also, the Centaurs do not desire, but Ray needs manpower to carry the carcasses of Dragonias who are craving.

But that's only normal.

Mystering exists in Ray's case, so there's no problem with the luggage you need for your journey or if there's any treasure over there, and, naturally, there's no problem securing Dragonias' body.

That's why there's nothing wrong with not having so many people to take.

On the contrary, given the escort of the settlement while you or the Centaurs you're going with, there's no problem with the small number of people you're taking.

... The greatest enemy in distress to the settlement today is Dragonias, but other than that, the kind of wild beasts and monsters, other than that, there is another species in this meadow besides Centaur, and it's not like they have a friendly relationship with all of it.

I'm pretty sure we need to be vigilant around here, too.

"So... this is how they got together..."

Are you sure about this?

Words containing such nuances come out of Ray's mouth.

Because some of the ten members who go with Ray looked like Zai and Drut.

Some of those ten survivors naturally headed for reconnaissance about Dragonias.

And other faces...... Zai is fine.

Originally it was Zai who made the first contact with Ray, and on top of that, Ray and I have a friendly relationship.

But Drut is never friendly with Ray.

That's what I'd say is hostile.

So it seemed to me that Dorat would travel with himself in this situation right now because that would be a situation of total harm and no interest.

... in fact, because I'm still returning my gaze at Ray that doesn't seem interesting.

Are you sure? and Ray turns his gaze to Zai.

I guess that Zai also knows what Ray wants to say.

Snorts back that there is no immediate problem.

(About the drat, Zai will figure it out no matter what. Given Dorat's character, I don't think he'd do anything stranger than move for the settlement. Just because you're hostile to me, and you put that in your attitude, that's kind of a problem)

Having thought about it a little, Ray decides he should still check directly and turn his gaze to Drut.

"Drut. I know you don't care about me. But if you're going to be hostile to me by the time you get to Dragonias' home base, it's just out of the way. Wouldn't you rather stay in the settlement?

"... I will follow your instructions"

I think Ray has a problem with Dorat's attitude.

Even if you follow your instructions, if you show in your attitude how dissatisfied you are, it will eventually cause trouble.

Of course, I guess I don't need to worry that much more than this is about a trip of about five days one way...

"Okay. But if you don't follow my instructions, you'll have to go back to the settlement immediately. I'm not just saying this to Drut. Same goes for other faces."

No one disputes Ray's words.

As Zai said when Ray first came to this world, Centaur honors the mighty.

And those who have won in the settlement all see the strength of Ray in the battle against Dragonias yesterday.

Dragonias overwhelm Centaur, known as the prairie champion, by force.

In contrast to such dragonias, Ray mowed his life lightly, as if to mow even the grass around it.

With that in mind, it was only natural that no one in this situation would want to contest Ray's words, etc.

... Ninglo, I even think Ray's strong words are reliable.

Not knowing it was thought that way, Ray also turns his gaze to the Centaurs other than Dorat.

But the ten Centaurs, including Dorat and Zai, are not particularly responsive to Ray's gaze.

If I see that, I will decide that I will obey my orders for the time being, including Dorat.

"So... what do we do? I would have left tomorrow, but the day is still high. Still, if this is how you fought in earnest, do you want to take the day off and leave early tomorrow morning as planned?

"No, I'm fine. If it is Centaur, this degree of tiredness is not tiring"

Like denying Ray's words... that's what Zai tells us like he doesn't want us to insult ourselves.

Seeing how Zai looks like that, Ray thinks a little...... eventually nods.

"Okay. If Zai says so, you'll be fine.... You're gonna be okay, right?

Ray asks the other Centaurs for confirmation, but everyone nods that Ray has no problem with that word.

"We also had the luggage we needed for the expedition. What Ray was..."

"That's mysterious."

"Yes. So you said you'd take it, but that doesn't matter, does it?

"Oh, no problem. Show me where I can find my stuff."

To the words, Zai appeases.

Yesterday Ray said he was going to take his stuff with him in mysteries, but that's what he was thinking about what he should do if he seemed to change his mind or something.

It was not conceivable that Ray would do such an act, but it was impossible to tell Ray to fully understand its character than it had only been a day since I met him.

What is it?

It was Ray who questioned how Zai was doing like that, but since I had the idea that priority should now be given to checking and storing my baggage first, I decide not to worry about it for now.

That's how it was in the place Zai showed me... a bunch of bigger baggage than Ray initially expected.

It is good to have food and water. Even if there is alcohol in it, Ray can't drink it - I can drink it precisely, but I don't like it - but I have the idea that it will be necessary for the Centaurs and others, and that it might be used to disinfect them in times of need.

You should have a spare weapon because you're going to fight.

I also know that arrows in particular want to hold as many as possible, beyond being consumables.

I can understand that far, but what was there otherwise as luggage was a broken down tent.

I expected that only a tent like Gel could carry it, and I can understand that that would be very convenient when sleeping.

But it was also unexpected for Ray to break down that tent and take it.

"If it means getting fit, you should definitely use the same tent you usually sleep in,"

"Can't you?

Zai asks looking just a little worried.

For Zai, too, we've got it ready, but maybe we can't? Did you think so?

But Ray shakes his head sideways if it's not a problem.

"I'm fine. You watched me store a ton of Dragonias' bodies yesterday, didn't you?

"No, that's why I thought I couldn't do it anymore."

Ray was so convinced of Zai's explanation.

In fact, it's not a strange story to think that you would normally have a full capacity of mystering because you stored that many Dragonias bodies.

... In fact, if it were a simple kind of item box, many of them wouldn't even have been able to store all of Dragonias' bodies.

But Ray's mysteries are real, not simple... real item boxes.

It's not just an item box either, it's just one item box in the world, where Esta Knoll, said to be the best alchemist in history, used the best materials to elaborate a piece of technology.

That's what Ray doesn't even know exactly how much can be stored in mystering.

Although it is experienced in the war against the Bestian Empire that fewer, if any, types of supplies necessary for a military operation can be stored.

So there's absolutely nothing wrong with storing the supplies the Zays need in front of them after storing that degree of Dragonias' body.

"There's absolutely no problem around there. If this is all of it, we'll keep it all."

That being said, Ray keeps the food, water, weapons, tents that were kept there one after the other… other than that, he keeps various objects, large and small, in mysterious storage.

Those who saw the sight of storing Dragonias in yesterday's battle are also surprised to see the sight again.

Also, naturally, people such as women, children, old men who see this sight for the first time, are just stunned by the sight in front of them.

What the hell is going on in front of you?

If you try to be the one who knows nothing, it would be natural to think so.

Nevertheless, as a Ray, I am used to seeing mysteries and being surprised, so I will store them in mysteries without worrying about what's going on around me.

And when you're done storing everything after a few minutes...

Okay, let's go.

"Oh, oh..."

Zai nods at Ray's words in a slightly grumpy manner.

Don't have to be so surprised...... Ray thinks and quickly convinces.

In Elgin, the presence of an item box is widely known.

Very rare, quite few have seen the real thing, but it is nevertheless a rumor, an old story, an inheritance… for various reasons its very existence was known.

That's why I'm surprised to see you use mystering, but nothing like that is so extremely surprising.

But this isn't Elgin, who is widely known about item boxes, it's a different world.

If you use mystering in such a place, it would naturally surprise you compared to Elgin.

(Well, can't you care about that area now)

That's the decision, and Ray calls Seto, who was watching things a little further away.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's voice, Seto quickly approaches.

Jumping on its back, Ray opens his mouth toward the faces accompanying this raid, including Zai.

"Okay, let's go"

A short word.

But the power that was put into that word contained something that was just enough to switch the consciousness of all the Zays.

Both Zai and Dorat have been diving through quite a few training grounds only to have survived in this meadow.

Even with those two people, it's like they accidentally obey... something so powerful.

I guess that's something you have because it's Ray, who has dived more training grounds than Zai or Drut.

Seto runs out on the ground, followed by Zays.

Nevertheless, both Ray and Seto have no choice but to leave the directions to those who know there more than they do not know where Dragonias is based.

"This way."

Centaur, the guide, probably knew that too.

A little after I run out, I move next to Seto and tell him so.

With that centaur, the line goes on.

It's just Centaur and he runs pretty fast.

... Still Seto was running with some addition or subtraction though.

(All you have to say is)

On Seto's back, Ray is impressed as he watches the Centaurs.

I'm running like this right after winning the fight at the martial arts club, but I'm not showing any particular tiredness.

Of course it's Centaur, so I guess it affects you, but still running at a speed that can't be left in Ceto can be said to be awesome.

Ray also knew exactly why Zai said he had no problem with that confidently.

(Well, then I guess how much distance you can earn today.... if you use a seto cage...)

I agree, but I still have to run on the ground like this than I can do that in a conversation with Zai last night.

Given the strength of Dragonias, he might have been happy to bring Vihera with him.

With that in mind, Ray rode over Seto's back and ran through the meadows.
