"I see. The other world seems like a very dangerous one. Or is it not that dangerous a world without Dragonias?

After listening to Ray, Elaine tells him so quietly.

That gaze was directed at the sight of Seto and Yellow playing in the courtyard visible from the living room.

The words themselves were somewhat noisy, but the expression is not harsh, seeing the sight of Seto and Yellow chasing after him, somewhat soothing.

... You know Dragonias is actually dangerous, but you still think you can defeat Ray or Vihera if you have the strength, and you're actually defeating it, so you're relieved about that.

Although, I'm pretty sure it's not funny that I left you.

"Right. It's definitely a dangerous world. In fact, it's me, Vihera, Seto that's easily defeating Dragonias, but if you're an adventurer around... I don't know"

From what Ray has seen, in terms of purely stopping feet and fighting, I think the average strength of adventurers on the periphery of Gilm - except for those who have increased in construction work - and the average strength of Centaur, the armament goes up to the adventurers of Gilm.

But it was also an unmistakable fact that if we were to actually fight Dragonias, Centaur would be better suited than Gilm's adventurer.

Anyway, regardless of the strength with which you stopped, because Centaur is definitely better up there than Gilm's adventurer in terms of mobility.

And if we were to fight Dragonias, it was best to use that mobility to fight.

In that sense, I guess it was still good in Centaur that Dragonias attacked me.

… Although it would not have been very possible to imitate the likelihood that Centaur and the others would have been pleased that they had been attacked.

"I see. That much strength?... Rank this world, like C to B?

"I guess. One at a time is the top of rank C or the bottom of rank B. That's what strikes me in the herd, so troublesome. Not to mention the strong resistance to magic, depending on the color of the scale you have."

"Rather than killing Ray's magic, you can't scratch it... even if Ray told me directly, I don't really believe it"

Elaine knows how powerful Ray's magic is.

Therefore, hearing the story from Ray himself could not be imitated as honestly believing.

That's why I didn't think Ray was lying.

It's an unmistakable fact that you still can't honestly believe it.

And Ray also takes such Elaine's attitude honestly again.

Elaine sees Ray's battle with her eyes more than once before.

So even if Ray said he had someone who survived his magic, it would have been hard to believe.

(In fact, I was surprised when I saw you survive using magic, too)

Nevertheless, Ray and Seto's offense is not as sweet as that alone can manage.

The Red Scale Dragonias, who survived the magic of the flames, were also immediately directly attacked by Ray and Seto, … and the Centaurs cooperated, but were wiped out.

And once you know pure flame magic doesn't work, the next thing you've done is fire whirlwind.

In the fire whirlwind, a broken blade is mixed, and the very body of Dragonias caught in the fire whirlwind becomes a weapon.

No matter how much resistance you have to the magic of Ray, it's only against the flames, otherwise... against physical shocks, not so.

No, in fact, the scale itself has a higher defense than poor defense gear, and in fact Ray even sees the sight of Centaur playing the attack with that scale.

But...... that's only a Centaur attack, and if you bump into me at high speed by having the same Dragonias body caught in a fire whirlwind, it's hard to deal with that.

"Well, if you really want to see it... you actually have to go to the other world, but that's hard again, too"

To Ray's words, Elaine nods in disgruntlement.

Vihera is a former empress, but she is only an ex and is now treated once and for all as just an adventurer.

That's why I could be impotent like this one... but at the price of that impotence, Dusker took no small damage to his stomach.

Even Vihera is in that condition, so if Elaine, who has the alias of the Princess General and should also be described as a symbol of the nobility, is gone from the Guild, there will be fatal damage to Dusker's stomach.

Not to mention that Grimm's fixing the hole, so it's okay, but that's just a story at the moment.

For some reason, the possibility of that hole disappearing...... I don't think that's the first possibility as Ray, but still not absolutely.

If that happens, Ray, Elaine, Vihera, Seto... it is possible that such faces will be left behind in the other world.

Try it as a dusker, and if it does, it will be nothing but ruin.

... It's definitely a very deadly event for Dusker, even if only Ray is left in the other world without Elaine or Vihera.

"I hope that hole connected to that other world will never go away... can't it?

"Right. There's more to fixing the holes by the magic items I had than publicly being able to make the existence of the grim. I guess that's why I can't trust the holes for Master Dusker."

To Ray's words, Elaine nods too.

We have no choice but to give such justification than to be unable to inform them of the existence of the Grimm.

No, but that makes it a lot of trouble.

You need to convince Lord Dusker.

"Uh... yeah, right. But if I could, I'd want you to stop it."

"Is Vihera the only thing you want?

"Given your position, I can't help it.... Besides, in Elaine's case, some of the guys are coming to see you, right? Looks like he was there earlier."

"It's..."

To Ray's words, Elaine gets stuck in words.

In the first place, Elaine is in the Guild for a reason.

Interference that has been carried out several times since before in the construction work currently under way in Gilm.

As the aristocrats were doing that, it was Elaine who was sent.

Originally the aristocrats and neutrals were in friendship recently - specifically from the contact between Ray and Elaine.

Naturally, as an aristocrat, it is to be welcomed that the ruling guilm of Dusker, who leads such a neutral party, carries out additional construction and becomes the size of the city from the city.

But... some aristocrats have a pointlessly high pride.

For such people, the existence of a neutralist was only in the way.

That's why Elaine was dispatched to disturb the construction of the Gilm that Dusker was working on… it was known and to prevent it.

Where there is the iconic Elaine of the aristocracy, what happens if we obstruct it?

If this was found by the neutrals, it would also be possible to fall in love with what they say.

But if Elaine finds it, there's no escape.

As a result, there had recently been less interference by the aristocracy.... but it was never gone.

Such harassment is mostly such that even such harassment, rather than even tabular harassment, can only be cautioned if found out.

Because Elaine is in the Guild, that's the extent of the harassment and obstruction, but if Elaine's appearance is no longer in the Guild, it was obvious without having to think about it.

"Nooo."

Elaine also roars to give up on her inadmissibility because she soon finds out what Ray wants to say.

Ray smiles at how Elaine looks like that...

"Ray."

Immediately erase that grin with a word out of Elaine's mouth.

Nothing. The laugh now wasn't what made Elaine laugh, but that's only because it's Ray.

You wouldn't know what Elaine thought unless that's who she was.

"Right. Um... maybe he wants to go to the other world around the marina."

That's what Ray tells you to delude yourself, but it's just a snake.

Elaine can't really go to the other world, but in the case of marinas, she can always go to the other world.

Most importantly, given Marina's role in the clinic, she couldn't have taken a break from work so easily.

The restorative magic used by marinas and using water spirits is a very powerful force in the clinic.

However, as a marina, it is not possible to imitate taking a break from the clinic so easily.

Why not, given the character of a well-looked after marina.

Or if there's such a danger as Ray dying without himself, I might go to the other world no matter what.

"Excuse me. Dear Elaine, Lord Ray, I brought you some tea treats, what do you say?

That's what Arla says and comes in as the subtle atmosphere drifts into the room.

To Ara like that, Ray turns his grateful gaze when he's helped.

When Arla smiles at Ray, she puts sweets like baked confectionery, fresh fruit and dried fruit on the table.

"Ara......"

"Look, there are some baked treats that Elaine likes. Especially since this baked treat was made by a cook hired by a certain nobleman, who is famous for its deliciousness."

cook? and Ray, who questioned only for a moment, but there is no clear profession of pastry chef in this world.

Making baked sweets is basically a cook, too.

Or something like amateurs making it out of hobbies.

"Ho."

Elaine looks intrigued by Arla's words and turns her gaze to baked sweets like that.

He was said to be a princess general, and the language was military-style Elaine, but only a woman and prefers sweetness.

So if they told me there was a good and reputable baked treat, there was no reason not to be interested in it.

Forget the gaze that was directed at Ray, too, and reach for the baked sweets.

And when you bring the baked sweets to your mouth...

"Huh!?

I get a surprise look for a moment, and then I slowly taste it.

If you look at that, there's no doubt that Elaine liked baked sweets.

As a Duke's Warrant lady, she was Elaine, who didn't like it but had been to various parties, but even such Elaine had not eaten so much baked sweets.

Ray, who was watching how Elaine was doing, also took the baked treat and carried it to his mouth if he was interested in that baked treat.

"Heh... this is delicious"

I just took a bite and Ray admires the taste of baked sweets again.

Baked confectionery...... if you say so, it's only cookies.

But that cookie is delicious even compared to the cookies Ray knows.

Ray knows cookies...... that's all kinds of cookies I ate when I was in Japan.

The level of Japanese treats is very high globally, and that's why so many treats at this price if foreigners eat them!? and it's not uncommon to be surprised.

Of course, of course… it also loses in flavor compared to cookies like those made by top pastry chefs.

But that's all the cookies you can buy there for 100 yen.

In a way, I could say the highest peak in the world. Turned cookies into rays I've had since I was a little girl, and the cookies on the table definitely tasted delicious and I can assure you.

The strange thing is that even though it's a solid cookie when you have it in your hand, it will almost collapse to melt when you can stay in your mouth.

I have eaten cookies with similar textures, but they feel very different when I have them.

"Master Elaine and Lord Ray seem satisfied."

"Oh, this is delicious"

To the bragging words of Arla, Ray returns them so.

And Elaine was also nodding to agree with Ray's words.

Those two attitudes are enough to satisfy Ara.

"I have a few more of these baked treats, do you want to bring them?

To Ara, who asks, Elaine and Ray snort all together.

If this is all delicious, he wanted to eat some more if he could, and it was only natural to think so.
