"Ray, do you have a minute?
With the camp ready and some of the Centaurs ready for a meal for everyone, Ray, who was training by taking out Death Size and Dusk Spears a little further away, can be accidentally called out like that.
Turning his gaze to those who spoke, it was Dolphina there.
Among Centaur, where wizards are very rare, is a man who comes from a settlement where there are many wizards, although I don't know why.
Shake the Death Size lightly, air...... on the contrary, release a blow that slashes and rips through the space itself, then Ray stops training.
"What's up? Was there a problem?
With that said, I turn my gaze to the Centaurs, who are preparing their meals.
Essentially, food is served out of each settlement, but there is naturally a lot of waste if it means cooking separately from each settlement.
There will be a lot of firewood and a lot of dishes to wash.
That's why it means that the good cooks gather to make a meal for everyone.
... What do you care, that's also helpful to Zai, who came with Ray.
Zai also knows that there are tons of dishes inside Ray's mysteries in one case where he previously went to crush the base.
Vihera would naturally be able to eat Ray's dishes, beyond being such a close relationship with Ray.
But Zai's position is, I can't say I want Ray to cook.
I mean, Zai had to prepare her own dishes... unfortunately, Zai is never good at cooking.
When each cooks separately, naturally Zai also has to cook... which is why it was helpful for Zai to decide who is in charge of cooking and cooking for everyone at once.
(Maybe I could have brought in a guy who specializes in cooking)
You may think it's stupid to ask normally, but cooking is an absolute necessity in your activities.
If that's a delicious dish, it increases morale, and if it's an unsavory dish, it lowers morale.
Ray had seen on the TV show when he was in Japan that the food was unsavory or bad meat in the dish, which led to the rebellion of the troops...
Of course, I can understand the possibility that it's just expressed in a big way, beyond being a TV, but I'm pretty sure it's never good for this scout team that the meal is still unsavory.
If so, wouldn't it have been better to bring someone who is still good at cooking?
With that in mind, Ray opens his mouth towards Dolphina.
"Something wrong with the cook?
Dolphina is a little surprised by Ray's words.
I guess I never thought they'd say that.
"No, I'm not. I just wanted to talk to Ray a little bit.... Before I do, I want to apologize for making you feel uncomfortable in my settlement"
Saying so, Dolphina bows her head.
Such a Dolphina figure can also be seen from those who cook and otherwise prepare for the camp.
Naturally, those who came with Dolphina are amazed at how Dolphina looks like.
"Dear Dolphina! Need to bow your head to someone with two legs, etc!
A fellow Dolphina tries to get him to come right up and raise his head.
But Dolphina doesn't look like she cared about such a fellow, and she opens her mouth with her head down.
"Ray, and Vihera. I know this may have been unpleasant for you, but forgive me if I could. Of course, I'll make sure this doesn't happen in the future."
"... keep your head up. Nothing. I'm not that mad at you. Besides, when I was in the settlement, I think you already apologized for the area?
"Still, I wanted to apologize again."
"Okay. Forgive me. So raise your head. Keep you where you are, and I'll be the villain."
After hearing such Ray's words, Dolphina finally lifted her head...
"Dear Dolphina!
"Shut up."
Someone who doesn't care that he bowed his head to Ray tried to say something again, but that's what Dolphina tells him in an unusual tone.
Unlike the usual Dolphina, the tone was unexpectedly sharp enough to stretch the spine if you were told.
"I respect Ray. … so far, we have also fought Dragonias. But in that battle, who used magic to defeat Dragonias? No, one or two of them imitated the mass destruction of Dragonias, where they were based."
Neither can Centaur, who didn't care to bow his head to Ray, say anything about that word of Dolphina.
Because that's how I understand that what Dolphina is saying is a definite fact.
In Centaur, we are blessed with the gift of magic, but if Ray asks us if we can do the same, the answer is no.
No, on the contrary, none of the Centaurs in this meadow would ever be able to imitate that.
Anyway, that's what I thought the first time I heard that story, it was a lie.
But Centaur, seconded from Zai's settlement, even said that if you suspect him, you can show him where the stronghold was.
I didn't think Centaur could speak any more lies than I said that much.
I mean, it's an unmistakable fact that Ray has incredible magical powers.
I can see that. I can see that... Still, from common sense as Centaur, it is unacceptable that the Dolphina... the most magical gifted of those who draw the blood of Advagas bow their heads to the two-legged.
This man, too, is not a drawer of Advagas blood, and I'm pretty sure he can use magic.
But... Still, in the present situation, I had some thoughts.
But Dolphina speaks up to Ray, regardless of how such a man looks.
"I am interested in your magical prowess. If you don't mind, would you let me talk to you about magic?
That's what Dolphina meant, no doubt about it.
Ray, listening to Dolphina, gives the word a convincing look.
"About magic?... Right. Then you can take some time after dinner."
"Is that true!?
Having heard Ray's words, Dolphina gives a look exactly like joy.
If I tried Dolphina, I wouldn't have thought Ray would snort so lightly into his own words.
But this wasn't just profitable for Dolphina, and Ray was profitable again.
In Zai's settlement, he developed magic - which he hasn't used yet - that allows him to see his wife's magic and move freely through the air.
Then if Dolphina also showed me the magic specific to the Centaur tribe, I might be able to learn something else.
I guess it's natural to expect that.
... This is what I use magic with my senses, my images - the original stories are anime, comics, games, novels, etc. when I was in Japan - and if I were someone who learned magic from a more solid foundation in Elgin, I would have been interested in things like what exactly is the difference between Elgin's magic and the magic of this world.
"Oh. I want to know what kind of magic Centaur uses, too. All I know is the magic of my wife in Zai's settlement, a little floating off the ground."
"Oh, that magic"
Ray's explanation alone must have immediately made sense of what kind of magic it was.
Dolphina nods as impressed.
"That magic is versatile, and it consumes less magic. It's just hard magic to use."
"Really?
From what Ray saw, my wife seemed to use magic without any particular problems.
Because of my age, I couldn't seem to use magic that long.
Still, I'm pretty sure he didn't look like he was struggling with control.
But Dolphina nods naturally at how Ray looks like that.
"That's right. If the person who used the magic seemed to have used it without so much problem, I guess that means that the person was superior in magic skill.... interesting. After this reconnaissance, could you introduce me?
"That's good... but reconnaissance is already a prerequisite for success"
That's what Ray tells him with some grudge.
Because Dolphina's words seemed convinced that this reconnaissance would be an absolute success.
In fact, that word is never wrong.
Ray was so sure, but still didn't think Dolphina would say the same thing.
"I have Ray, so I'm pretty sure it's a success, right?
If you try Dolphina, Ray is capable of destroying Dragonias' stronghold by himself.
When I first heard about those who came from Zai's settlement, I thought they were quite exaggerated, but I actually see them and the sentiments change.
As I've heard this reconnaissance was like before, with less than such a ray together, I could be sure that leaving one person behind would not mean total annihilation.
... but whether or not we can find the home of the enemy, regardless of not dying, was another story.
"Right. I hope it succeeds.... Whatever it is to talk about here and get away from here a little bit"
There are still other Centaurs around...... especially when Ray sees Centaurs telling Dolphina not to bow his head earlier, he tries to move the place.
Many of the others were looking at a case that began with a suddenly bowed head of Dolphina, so they were a little concerned about the eyes of the others.
Dolphina also obeys Ray's words honestly as to whether there was anything to think of in her surrounding gaze.
That's how a little further away from where they were preparing for the camp, Seto naturally follows that, too.
It is a group that has just joined together, so few can deal with Seto with ease.
I guess that's why Seto chose to stay with Ray, too.
... By the way, Vihera is in a mock fight with some Centaurs, starting with Zai.
There you are, and those who had never seen Vihella's strength directly with their own eyes, looked at it with a surprise look.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
It was Seto who moved with Ray, but I guess there's something about the scent of the meal drifting from the camper that attracts my heart.
I turn my gaze and throat at at those who cook several times.
"Look, just eat this."
To calm such a ceto, Ray takes some sandwiches out of the mistering and gives them to Ceto.
"Gru!"
Taste the delightfully placed sandwich on the plate with a couch.
Sitting on a meadow near such a ceto, Ray turns his gaze to Dolphina.
"So, was it about magic? What kind of magic is Dolphina good at? By the way, in my case, I specialize in flames."
"Flames. That sounds convenient. But in the sense of convenience, I haven't lost either. The magic I'm best at is wind. I can use magic from other attributes, so it's not like Ray is specialized."
"Hmmm.... hmm?
Hearing the story, Fu Ray wondered.
No, maybe it's Ray that made me wonder.
This world is different, not Elgin.
But still, talk about magical attributes usually comes through.
(Well, but... maybe the laws of the world are close, considering that the word makes sense normally or that it's proper Centaur that I recognize as Centaur. parallel worlds or something parallel worldly)
Less often, I didn't know the first words with Lizardman like the Zozos, and I had difficulty communicating my intentions.
In that sense, this world, through the common sense of Elgin and even the words with the Rays, will undoubtedly be closer to Elgin than the world of the Zozos.
I was just surprised to find that out, as far as Ray was concerned.
"Ray? What's wrong?
"No, it's nothing"
I can't tell you that I'm from another world, etc., and Ray is so deluded.
Dolphina, too, somehow understood that Ray had misled something, but if it was better to talk about magic first, she wouldn't imitate anything more like going into it.
Rey, relieved by it, talks about the magic he developed before this.
"With that said, I made the magic of flying in the air before this, but I still control it...... whoops!
In the middle of the words, Ray raised his voice of surprise when he realized Dolphina was turning a more serious gaze at herself than any other.
