Legend

"Yes! Thanks to Ray for coming, I didn't have to carry this"

The adventurers look at Ray and say thank you from the bottom of their hearts and bow their heads deeply.

Until a few minutes ago, the felled trees, still in large quantities, were now all housed inside Ray's mysterious ring.

Leaving the settlement of Centaur and returning to this Elgin, Ray explained the situation to Grimm - that there were still a large number of Dragonias, which made him happy - and then stopped at the logging site, remembering that Fufu and the adventurers were in great trouble on their way to the Gulm.

Thanks to Ray's presence before, there was no need to imitate things like carrying trees, but lately there was also the effect that Ray was going to the other world to destroy the home of Dragonias - which was actually different - and the felled trees were carried by the adventurers.

But even though the adventurers of this world are highly capable, the felled trees are very heavy.

Or if this is a normal tree, it can be imitated by leaving it behind after harvesting and draining moisture to some extent before carrying it, but the felled trees need to be transported to the gilm immediately because the alchemists need to do a magical treatment.

In addition, the more materials there are in the construction of the guilm, the better, so it was necessary for the adventurers who carried it to work hard in that respect.

That's what I can't carry even if I work hard every day, and the felled trees really build up.

Naturally. It's not easy to cut trees... but there's still a good number of people who can do it by themselves - auxiliary adventurers.

The trees accumulate fairly quickly because such a number of people are going to felling trees on each of them.

Compared to that, it was very difficult to carry trees from Trento Forest to Guild.

Because it loads trees onto specially modified carriage carriages and carries them all the way to the gilm.

Though Trent Forest and Guild are nearby, there is still a good distance, I'm sure,

In that case, in the trees that are trumpeted and transported, there will be excess trumpeted trees.

That's why there were quite a few trees accumulating when Ray stopped by like this today.

It's not surprising that the adventurers say thank you because they keep it in one mistering after another.

"So then, never mind. However, I don't think it's going to be easy for me to help with the additions for a while, so I think we should get more people together."

"I know that, and I'm telling the guild that... hey?

With that said, the adventurer turned his gaze to the Tower of Birth, which can also be seen from here.

Without the Tower of Birth here, that's what I can bring in as many people as I want to work with.

In the present circumstances, however, such imitation is difficult.

Because it is Dusker's decision to keep the lake and the Birth Tower as unknown as possible, although it is an open secret.

In fact, only those currently authorized by Dusker can approach places with lakes and birth towers.

Therefore, you cannot hire a person who is entrusted with escorting or chores unless you are able to determine that the Alliance has no problem.

If the hire of adventurers around it caused strange disturbances towards the lake and the tower of birth, it would involve the guild's credibility.

That is why adventurers who currently work in the Trento Forest had to be trusted by the Alliance accordingly.

"I know there aren't many people, but the rewards have gone up, haven't they?

"Oh. For that matter, the job is tough."

No one wants to work if the reward is cheaper than there is heavy labor, such as carrying felled trees.

In that case, it was necessary to raise the remuneration so as not to dissatisfy the working.

... In fact, Trento Forest is currently a first-level danger zone.

Anyway, it's connected directly to the rest of the world.

That is why, in a sense, it is right that the amount of reward increases.

I guess it's a subtlety for the Alliance that more people come to say they want to take requests in the Trent Forest for that high reward.

"Then don't you have to complain? Well, good luck with your work."

"... I'm honestly not convinced Ray would say that."

The lay is to store the trees we are struggling to carry in mysteries and instantly carry them to the guilds.

Try being some serious working adventurers and all you'll get is the word envy.

"Really? I'll carry the trees I've stored for now, so it'll be a little easier today than usual."

That's what Ray said, saying a gentle greeting to the cronies, and then riding the set to Gilm.

"Oh, Ray. Long time no see."

The gatekeeper of the Lords' Hall calls out like that when he finds Ray.

Ray usually greeted it back lightly, but being tangled up by the alchemists when he handed me the felled trees before he got here, he wasn't very well.

Ray hasn't been here in a long time, and that's what the alchemists have been saying about any interesting material.

For once, Dragonias' body is inside the mysteries, but there's no way I'm going to say anything more like that than keep secrets about the other world.

That's why Ray's done the alchemists right.

"What? You're not well."

"The alchemists got me involved."

"Ah... Dear Woe"

A different gatekeeper than I was talking to Ray, that's what I'm going to work for.

Ray has a short conversation with such gatekeepers and enters the Lords' Hall.

(With that said, I haven't seen the Greens lately... how are you doing? No, if it's Master Dusker, will you do well around there?)

Anyway, if there were green people, spice trees wouldn't normally grow in this climate.

Beyond that, as a Dusker... that's what the Greens were more protective of than the Lizardmans.

I don't think Ray would ever think that Dusker would treat such a green man coarsely.

That's not strange to live in quite a bit of comfort.

Thinking about the Green Man eventually stops the maid's leg who has guided Ray.

"Excuse me, Master Dusker. I've brought Master Ray."

The words of such a maid could be heard to go in from the inside.

The maid opens the door and Ray enters the office.

"Whoa, Ray. … I'm going to take a short break, so bring me something cold to drink and a light dish to eat"

To Dusker's words, the maid leaves the office in a courtesy.

Ray, who dropped it off, is urged by Dusker to head toward the couch in the office.

"Have a seat. More on that... after the drinks and food arrive."

"Okay.... Still, you seem busy"

Dusker grins as Ray tells him as he looks at the pile of paperwork placed on the desk.

"Right. It would be a little easier in the winter. But it's still a long way to go until that winter."

"It's summer now."

When Ray was originally in this world, he was moving from early summer to full summer.

In that context, when Ray returns to this world in about two weeks, he already has the climate he deserves to call it midsummer.

Nevertheless, in Ray's case, I wear a dragon robe with a simple air conditioning function, so I have no problem at all with ambient temperatures exceeding thirty degrees.

"Oh. Until winter...... no, from the gilm to the end of autumn when there are fewer people? If we work hard until then, we can do it quite slowly later until next spring"

"It's winter now, and I think I'll be busy with a lot of things."

"Don't say that."

Ray's words poked at the stars, Dusker says slightly reluctantly.

As a lord, he was basically a dusker who did paperwork without doing it, but he still prefers to be moving his body to paperwork, just an ex-knight?

Talking about that, an earlier maid comes with cold fruit water and a sandwich.

Ray thinks you always eat sandwiches when you get here, but when it comes to light dishes, it's still very convenient for you to make sandwiches quickly and change the flavoring by changing the ingredients inside.

Also, when Dusker was busy at work, it was a convenient dish in the sense of eating while doing paperwork.

As the maid leaves, Dusker opens his mouth as he reaches for the sandwich.

"So? That was dragonias. Did you beat that home base?

"Yes. The dragonias that were there succeeded in annihilating. But..."

Something wrong?

Seeing Ray say it out loud, that's what Dusker tells him.

Ray nods honestly at the words.

"Yes, I crushed what seems to be my home base and went back to the settlement of Centaur...... within that day, another massive amount of Dragonias attacked me. Given the reason, it's likely that we raided one of the bases, not the home."

I didn't say anything about Vihera, but now I'm deciding I should explain Dragonias first.

"Is that... more than I expected? With that said, it's Dragonias' body..."

"It was degrading fast, wasn't it?

"That's right. Did Ray know that too?"

Ray nods at the kind of voice that asks for Dusker's confirmation.

In fact, I knew it because I heard from Grimm, but I'll hide that.

"Yes, but isn't Dragonias' body worth it then?

With that said, Ray denies that would not happen.

The red scale dragonias are just powerful enough to withstand even Ray's magic.

Flaming magic is often commonly used as attack magic.

For example, there was no doubt that scales that could withstand the magic of Ray were of very high rare value.

Dragonias also has scales of many colors besides red scales.

I don't know exactly which attribute it is resistant to, because Ray hasn't even looked into it yet, but it was nevertheless an unmistakable fact that multiple color scales are treasures.

And... it turns out, Dusker shakes his neck sideways against Ray's words.

"No, I'm pretty sure there have been some interesting results. But time is better."

"Really?... By the way, I'm a little late to talk, but when I came back to the settlement of Centaur, there was Vihera"

"... what?

Porridge, and.

Hearing Ray's words, Dusker drops the sandwich he had.

Fortunately during my misfortune, the sandwich I dropped would have fallen on the table, not on the floor or in fruit water.

I hope the haunting doesn't come out.

Is it because Ray sees how Dusker is now and somehow thinks so?

"Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute."

With that said, Dusker with his head.

Naturally. Even though we are already out of the royal family, we still cannot change the fact that Vihera is the Empress of the Bestian Empire.

That wasn't just a princess either, she was very popular...... no, she's a proud princess.

Because of the cooperation of Vihella, the number one right to inherit the throne in the current Bestian Empire belonged to the third prince, Merclio.

Of course, Dusker also knew that Vihera was acting with Ray.

But... Still, I never thought I'd go all the way to another world.

"So, uh... what's Lord Vihella like?

"I'm happy for you."

Ray tells him to get rid of Dasker's worries.

In fact, for Vihera, Dragonias was also a great playmate.

"Dragonias is a pretty fun opponent for Vihera. It's dominated by hunger, so I don't imitate running away."

In that word, Dusker gives a subtle look.

I'm glad to see that you're safe for now, but I was wondering what it means, even if the former Empress of the Bestian Empire is gladly fighting an unknown monster named Dragonias in another world.

Dusker showing a subtle look whether he should be happy or sad.

"I think you can leave Vihera alone for now. I was quite happy to go to the other world."

"But... how the hell did you know about the other world?

That's how Ray didn't say anything about Grimm to the troubled Dusker, but he tasted the sandwich carefully.
