"Veeeeeeee"

When I'm on my way to the settlement, I hear voices like that.

Who the hell is the Lord of that voice, it is clear without having to think about it.

Because this is how you walk on the ground to take the Lord of his voice to the settlement.

... Though Ray isn't walking, he's traveling on Seto's back.

"Look, over here"

That's what I told Ray, but Lord of the Voice... the double-headed goat is walking after Seto, no matter what Ray doesn't tell him.

In the first place, if there's nothing tied around your neck, there's no way Seto and the others are behind the double-headed goats so they don't run away.

Beyond that, a double-headed goat should be able to escape if he wants to.

But I guess I haven't found any point in not imitating that in the present situation, because even for a double-headed goat it means fleeing here.

... Or maybe it's a pleasure for a double-headed goat not to have to consider the threat of Dragonias.

I have fought Dragonias and defeated quite a few, but still... yes, that doesn't mean I could have defeated them easily.

That's what a double-headed goat would probably have lost if it had been the feather of doing Dragonias good melee fights when it came to fighting.

Given the circumstances around it, the double-headed goats would still be at a disadvantage if attacked by a large number of dragonias.

That is why it is not surprising that you have chosen the path of following a ceto stronger than yourself.

At the same time, it is possible that I thought that if I followed Seto, I might get some delicious fruit from Ray again.

Ray doesn't even know if the double-headed goat made that choice by calculating all the circumstances around it.

From what Ray has seen, the double-headed goat is quite intelligent.

But if you still understand all the circumstances around it... honestly, it would be subtle.

(Well, whatever the reason, if you're going to follow me this way for the most part, I'm not complaining)

Centaur multiplied and finally reciprocated with one dragonias, but the double-headed goat has enough strength to fight multiple dragonias alone.

That would be very reliable for the Zays.

Nevertheless, it's not like Ray doesn't have any anxiety either.

Either way, Centaur is very proud.

It would not be interesting to rely on forces other than ourselves to protect our settlements.

... Speaking of which, I'm getting help from face-to-face people like Ray and Seto and Vihera, so now what? And Ray never thought of it either.

However, unlike Ray and Vihera, the double-headed goats are animals... or monsters.

More than that, I guess the part about pride is slightly different from what Ray thinks.

Think of it that way for now, and move on towards the settlement.

It goes on, but it can be unclear whether there really is a settlement ahead of it or not.

Probably this way, it was a move with that in mind.

Nevertheless, do you also know Seto about the direction he flew in, and he kept going without looking too upset... Eventually, after about an hour or two, he saw a settlement at the end of his gaze.

"I knew it was a mistake for me and Seto to be directional vocalizers."

"Gru!"

"Vee......?

Two-headed goats, who rang as Seto agreed with Ray's words and watched one of those and one, squealed in bewilderment.

I guess I couldn't understand the circumstance of directional tone deafness just for the twin-headed goats that were still in Ray and Seto.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't have been able to point that out in a situation where Seto was there, and it's even difficult to communicate my intentions in the first place, so I wouldn't have been able to imitate it like I pointed out.

"All right, let's just show Zai the double-headed goat...... hmm?

Let's give Zai a two-headed goat and slow down a bit.

That's what I thought, Ray, but I feel uncomfortable watching the settlement.

Nothing like being attacked and damaged by Dragonias.... Though I didn't think there would be any damage to the settlement if Dragonias hadn't attacked or been on a hundred units than there were Vihelas.

Either way, the discomfort Ray had when he saw the settlement was not due to such reasons.

Something else...

If you are so doubtful, some Centaur will eventually come to notice the presence of the Rays approaching even those in the settlement.

"Is that it?"

Look at that centaur, and that word comes out of Ray's mouth.

Because I didn't recognize the Centaurs coming up.

There are quite a few centaurs gathered in Zai's settlement, so there are naturally quite a few who are fighting as warriors.

Ray doesn't remember the faces of all of them either, but he still looks familiar, so it's not weird to think that way.

Even so, the approaching Centaurs don't look familiar to Ray... and even those on the Centaur side seem terribly wary of Ray's presence.

(That?)

I whine in my heart about the words I put in my mouth a few seconds ago this time.

Could it be...... and where I had such doubts, I eventually point the spear tip that the approaching Centaur had at Ray and open his mouth.

"Two-legged man, what the hell are you doing here with the meadow wind"

"... meadow wind?

It is Ceto, naturally, that Ray comes to mind when he is said to be a meadow wind.

Seeing you fly freely through the sky, that is what the expression grassland wind would deserve.

But soon, Ray denies it.

Centaur uses the word meadow wind as a natural word through.

In other words, Ray knows and takes for granted the grassland wind.

And given what happened to Centaur and the others who came into contact with Seto, there was no doubt that Centaur did not know the existence of a griffon.

Is there no such thing as a species as Griffon itself in this world, or is it because Griffon never comes to this meadow?

Ray didn't even know why around there, but still, there's no doubt the Centaurs in front of him don't know about Ceto, and more than that, they don't call Ceto such winds as meadow winds.

If so, the meadow wind is...

"You."

"Veye."

Two-headed goats honking to answer Ray's words.... No, meadow wind.

Seeing such a meadow breeze, the Centaurs loosen their guard just a little.

Based on the state of the grassland wind, I was not forced to bring him here because I decided so.

... In fact, at first, it was close to threatened by Seto in his stature of being, but fortunately, then Ray and Seto were able to forge friendly relationships with the grassland winds.

In a way, I guess that means it was the biggest fine play.

Anyway, Ray asks this fortunate to the Centaurs, who have only slightly loosened their guard.

"Maybe not... but this is Zai... no, the settlement where the drums are long?

"No."

Without a moment's hesitation, Centaur, who has spoken to Ray, shakes his neck sideways.

Look at that, I think Ray figured it out.

I mean, this is...

(Lost)

Yes, this was lost without a trick.

I just thought I was back in Zai's settlement, but it was a completely strange settlement that actually arrived.

If you look at the settlement again, you'll see that it's a lot different from Zai's settlement.

Especially the biggest would still be the size of the settlement.

The settlement of Zai is quite extensive in relation to the fact that it is that which is what many are gathering together.

But the settlement currently ahead of Ray's gaze was clearly smaller than Zai's.

... If I had flown and traveled in the sky, I would have figured out the area more clearly, but it was a slow trip because I had raw hate and grassland winds.

As a result, Ray arrived in a completely different settlement.

It would be the result of Ray's directional acoustic dementia being activated.

"Right.... I'm sorry. Actually, I was about to head to a settlement where drums are the chief, but they came here by mistake."

"... Huh?

I guess Ray's explanation was totally unexpected for Centaur.

At first, I was wary of strangers approaching me, wary of two-legged opponents, wary of the fact that there are known and respectable monsters named Meadow Winds, and reassured that they are not being forcefully obeyed... and this was the last thing that came out.

Especially Centaur. For growing up in this meadow, there's basically nothing like getting lost on the way to the settlement.

I guess that's why I don't see Ray getting lost.

"With two legs, I have a monster I've never even seen... you, the one with the report of possibly killing Dragonias!?

What has interrupted the conversation was a different Centaur than Ray had ever talked about.

That look at Ray with a stunned gaze puts emotions such as incredible on the table.

And by the words of that Centaur. Other Centaurs also look closely at Ray.

Anyway, Ray is pretty small compared to Centaur.

It would be more impossible for us to believe that such a ray has unilaterally ravaged and crushed our stronghold the dragonias that we must fight on more than one side ourselves.

Nevertheless, the presence of two legs and so on is very rare in this meadow.

On top of that, if you are taking Seto...... there are many places that match the information from Zai's settlement.

"No, but... a little guy like this has dragonias? You can't do anything, can you?

The moment he hears the word, Ray comes up with a name proposal - or a mystery proposal.

"Then why don't you do a mock fight with me for a second? If I win, show me to the Drum settlement."

"... what if you lose?

"Hmmm... if I lose..."

As for Ray, I didn't think about losing at all, so I can't think of anything like what I would do if I lost.

Naturally, Ray's thoughts can be felt by the Centaurs.

Knowing that the opponent in front of us is not going to lose to them at all... he learns to be half frustrated and interested in Ray's skill as a half warrior.

"Right. So... if I lost, was it the meadow wind? How about asking him to be friendly with you guys?

That's the word that ended up out of Ray's mouth.

But that Ray's words upset the Centaurs to a greater extent than he thought.

(Is this possible that the meadow wind means a lot to Centaur... no, it's as good as the meadow's, and if you make it a living on this meadow, it means a lot?

In fact, he's killed a lot of Dragonias who can't fight without more than one in Centaur, while fleeing...... and fighting Dragonias' bad ranged attacks as his main focus.

Try Ray or Ceto, who's killing Dragonias more than that, and it's not that surprising.

But if you try to Centaur and the others, the presence of the grassland wind is not exactly a thousand..., but it was definitely an overwhelming presence if it was still a few dragonias.

"Okay."

To Ray's words, Centaur, who had spoken to Ray until earlier, answers that with a serious look.

That's all, I guess the conditions Ray spoke of were fascinating.

There is no need to be particularly prepared for each other, and soon there will be a mock battle...... as usual, I was surprised to see Ray take the Death Size and Dusk Spear out of Mystering, but it is a reaction I am used to for Ray, so I don't see how I particularly cared.

That's how we open up a distance of about ten meters in the meadow and face each other.

I got this far because the way Centaur fights is basically the way he runs and builds momentum and then turns that momentum into an attack.

For this reason, if Centaur is serious about fighting, it will take a certain amount of time.

Centaur, who fights Ray, had a sharp gaze on his spear in his hand.

I can tell from the face to face that Ray is actually strong.

Still don't know how much difference in strength there actually is...

"Let's go!

Centaur screams to temper himself and runs out on the ground.

Ray stepped forward without showing any particular nervousness to Centaur as he approached him while he looked... and the next moment when we were wrong about each other, the spear that Centaur had was bounced with Ray's swinging dusk spear and blown away by a death-size pattern swinging with his other hand.
