After breakfast, the Rays made their way to the next settlement as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, Ray was running on Seto's back with Vihera, as he did yesterday.
And ask Zai, who runs right on his side, what Ray felt before breakfast.
"I see, you're a cook. Might as well have someone in that role than there would be a difference in morale with a meal.... Ok. When we get to the next settlement, I'll ask the chief. Just don't expect too much, okay? Normally, those who went on this reconnaissance... are thought to be extremely likely to die."
"Even if I'm here?
"Even if you are. Only me and Vihera, Seto, know what Ray's capable of.... and Dolphina. Of course, Ray's strength is well explained when he runs the preaching. But I guess I'm honest that I still can't honestly believe it."
"I see."
It was Ray, who honestly nodded at Zai's words, but I guess one of the reasons for this is that he is a different bipedal than Centaur.
For Ray, I don't think the number of legs matters that much, but if you try to be a centaur in this world, I guess that matters.
Ray doesn't imitate anything that goes into it either, beyond the word "follow the town."
Of course, if that made Ray suffer any disadvantage, the story would have been different.
"Then why don't you show me my strength while we rendezvous when we go to the next settlement?
As for Ray, if that makes the story go smoothly, it's perfectly fine to show strength.
On the contrary, you can go ahead and do it.
But Zai shakes his neck beside Ray's words like that.
Around being able to do that while running, I guess I could say clever in a way.
Most importantly, Ray is on Seto's back, so unlike Zai, it's not particularly difficult.
"You better stop it. When that happens, many people think they've been crushed in the face. Especially in the forthcoming settlement."
"Is that what this is about? No, considering it's a remaining settlement at the moment, maybe that's natural, too.... Nevertheless, should I stop Zai, as he says, when such a guy is the leader? Vihella, did you hear that?
That's what Ray tells Vihera sitting behind herself.
Unlike yesterday, I'm not even used to being on Ceto with Ray for a long time, or imitating hugging him.
They're caught on Ray's hips, but that's all.
Such Vihera opens her mouth with a slightly dissatisfied look at Ray's words.
"And you can't do anything if they're involved?
"That's... deal with it normally then. However, it helps if they don't get hurt as much as they can."
"in the direction of consideration so as to positively do good"
"... it's me?
"Yeah."
Were you the first to say that word to that word that didn't sound like Vihera? Vihera nods briefly to Ray, who tells him.
Have you ever told Vihera that? It was Ray to think of, but Ray is the only one who can teach it as a matter of course, more than Vihera speaks of the rhetoric characteristic of Japanese politicians.
"In the meantime, do it like that. Otherwise, I need to show my regrets."
The regret of being good at Japan.
Words that actually have no effect, but are used a lot for some reason.
For Ray, that was definitely the word to use at times like this.
"Leave the meaningless conversation around there. In the meantime, I'll talk to you when we get to the next settlement, so if the Rays don't do anything strange, that'll help."
Zai, who was listening to Ray and Vihera's conversation, tells him so.
I guess Zai didn't know exactly what you were talking about.
Ray snorts that he also figured out what Zai said.
Because I understood that even if I said something in the current situation, it really didn't make sense.
"I just don't get my hands on it from this side, but if you get your hands on it from the other side, we'll get the attitude we deserve,"
That's all, I'll tell Zai.
If we make ourselves big on this one, as far as Zai is concerned, the settlement itself seems to have a pretty nasty nature.
More than that, Ray, as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't going to imitate anything like following it very much if the other guy came on track and did a strange imitation because he was silent.
That is what we need to make sure that those who are strong, though they may have two legs, are strong.
... It wasn't that I didn't have the idea that it would be two birds a stone because if I actually knew its strength, there wouldn't be anything stupid to imitate over there.
"... thinks I can't help it"
Neither does Zai think that Ray should do this to me.
In the first place, if you find the home of Dragonias, Ray will undoubtedly be the most powerful fighter.
Following such a ray would be Vihera.
I don't even think Zai has a bad relationship with the two biggest fighters...
If you're going to imitate that, that's the best way to get to the next settlement without stopping by.
Time passes while doing so...... when it's almost noon or something like that, you see one settlement at the end of your gaze.
That settlement was the one Zai was worried about...... I honestly had the feeling that I didn't want to drop by as Zai at a time when my troublesome opponent was long
However, in the sense of looking for the home of Dragonias, it is better to have as many people as possible.
To do this, we need to work together, even if it's someone we don't care about.
And one line approaches the settlement...
"Stop!"
A group of about ten Centaurs coming out of the settlement scream as they point the tip of the spear to be vigilant.
Ray has been dealt with in the same way several times before, so I don't particularly care.
But the other Centaurs who have just acted with Ray are either surprised or dissatisfied with the attitude of their opponents.
Zai comes out one step ahead, where the leadership of each settlement, starting with Dolphina, is in a position to hold down the faces that have come from their own settlements together and lead the scout team.
Naturally, the Centaurs defending the settlement turn their spear tips toward Zai like that... but Zai, whose walking tips have been pointed, doesn't look particularly nervous either.
Not that much of an arm.
From Ray's point of view, it's clear that the Centaurs who have spears on Zai are by no means superior in their skill.
I guess Zai isn't upset when he's pointed at the tip of the spear because he knows that too.
If it's your skill, understand that it doesn't matter what level of opponent you have.
Zai is also trained by Vihera, albeit for about a few days.
Mock warfare with the strong meant a lot to Zai.
It's not as exceptional as it used to be, but it's definitely more skilled.
That's why Zai stood in front of Centaur, confident and vigilant.
"I want you to calm down. We came here to explore Dragonias' home base. You're supposed to be here for the information around here, too?
"... I see. But what are those people?
To Zai's words, what the leader man showed was, naturally, Ray and Vihella.
In fact, there was Seto, but even a stranger monster was missed because he had four legs.
Zai opens his mouth to the words of such an opponent, thinking that this still happened or something.
"There's a message from this settlement, too? Your two legs... Ray and Vihella are both guests in my settlement. I have the strength to deal with multiple Dragonias by myself."
To Zai's words, the Centaurs are surprised... more precisely, point their suspicious gaze at Ray.
As a common sense of Centaur living in this meadow, Dragonias is not such an easy opponent to defeat.
Not to mention the fact that two of my two legs, like the one at the end of my gaze, were told I had defeated Dragonias, but I couldn't do it without wondering about it.
... not to mention those talking to Zai are technically awkward.
The same was true in the settlement of Dolphina, but for that reason I can't feel the strength of the opponent.
Normally, Ray or Vihera would even try it here... I don't imitate saying anything from myself because Zai asks me that the head of this settlement smells like trouble.
Of course, if you've been attacking from the other side, as I told Vihella, you were fully willing to fight back.
But those who spoke to Zai were those who could not measure the strength of their opponents, but at the same time did not imitate anything tangled towards Ray.
Although I eventually suspected how Ray and Vihera were doing, there was nothing more particularly wrong with that, and I would guide Zai inside the settlement.
Why just Zai? I didn't think so, but if I tried being a settler, I would have put outsiders... not to mention putting two-legged rays and vihelas inside the settlement was impossible.
That's why only Zai, who leads the scout team, was put in the settlement.
(I don't think we can, but the others can join us....... well, better than a hassle)
It would just be a hassle to say extra things here, and Ray waits outside the settlement with the other Centaurs while they are watched by the Centaurs of the settlement not to make strange moves.
Acting with those who took part from this settlement is going to be a hassle.
(Oh, and tents and supplies, what are we gonna do? Zai and the others are bringing it? That's fine then)
Tents, food, spare weapons, etc.
Other than that, supplies will naturally be considerable, beyond the presence of various objects.
Sometimes we look for the enemy's home, and we still don't know exactly how long it's going to be.
Not to mention the low number of meadow animals and monsters due to Dragonias, which makes it difficult to procure food locally.
In fact, there are tons of dishes in Ray's mysteries, as well as tons of pre-cooking ingredients.
With that in mind, I don't need to prepare that much food... but Ray isn't going to be offering all the food himself from the start either.
Not to mention, if you think of someone who insults himself because he has two legs and can't even spot the difference in power from his opponent, it seems extra so.
"Absolutely, I didn't know I couldn't spot Ray's prowess... what I'd say, but I'm sorry."
When Dolphina comes to Ray's side, she squeals like a lament.
I guess what I say is because the same thing happened in the settlement of Dolphina.
… although in the case of the settlers of Dolphina, they were highly exposed to Ray and Vihera.
As a result, those who were unable to discern the strength of their opponents were somewhat painful to look at.
While we're talking like that, it's been about an hour... it's been about two hours and Zai's finally coming back.
I tried to say it was late Ray, but when I found out that the Zai that came was mentally depleted at first sight, I couldn't imitate complaining about it.
(Yeah, I knew you didn't have to go. Probably a rally or some sort of principals or something like that. It was pointlessly long story)
Somehow I understand one scale of what Zai meant when he said he was a troublesome opponent.
And behind Zai is the figure of the Centaurs, who have all kinds of supplies, starting with the tent.
From the fact that he has tents and supplies and their numbers, Ray decides that those Centaurs are probably the ones who will be joining the scout team from this settlement, and he will quickly receive them and store them in the mistering.
Naturally, the first-time viewers of Mystering were surprised, but Ray would store it without looking concerned.
"It's always funny to see this reaction."
Asdena, who was on Ray's side, squeals funny to see the surprised Centaurs.
Asdena was also surprised when she first saw Mystering, so she would be happy to see others surprised to think of it.
"Ray, are you done? It took an unexpected amount of time to get to the next settlement."
Ray nodded at Zai's words... after this he ended up spending a few days going around the settlement, eventually increasing the number of scouts to about a hundred.
