"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."
When Ray builds an undisturbed trench around the camp in consultation with Zai, such a surprise is raised by the Centaurs who watched it.
Some of those who are thus shouting surprises should be looking at the trenches made by Ray before raiding Dragonias' stronghold.
Why did you go so far when you were looking at it once? Questions like that were in the rays, but if you try the Centaurs, the trenches they had hidden themselves only a little bit from and thus covering the perimeter of the camp are something else altogether.
What's the difference between those two if you try to lay it on? I have questions like that.
"If you're this tall, Dragonias won't come in easily either. … but with the power of Dragonias, we may be able to destroy this much."
"Still, I just can't find it in Dragonias from the outside, doesn't it make some things easier?
Ray also honestly agrees with that word of Vihera.
In fact, the role of this trench can be expected from you.
"I think this is, again... honestly awesome. Normally, it takes a lot of time and effort just to make something like this."
From Zai's mouth, a voice leaks like a mixture of admiration and shudderness.
If I tried Zai, I would have heard from Ray that I could do it, and he didn't show me how easy it was to use terrain manipulation, but still I guess I didn't really think I could easily do this kind of imitation so far.
"Don't worry about this for now. Later...... a little early, but you want to get ready for dinner?
I kept running all night and came back to the camp in the morning.
Then I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the afternoon. Does Ray feel like around 3: 00 pm?
From there, I covered the area around the camp with trenches in consultation with Zai in about an hour, and as a result, it's about 4 p.m. now.
As Ray says, it's a little early to prepare dinner, but those who attacked the base with Ray have also slept with little to no meal after coming back all night, many hungry.
Some of them, of course, ate lightly before going to bed, or while Ray was building trenches around the camp... most of them are definitely hungry.
Those who remained in the camp were naturally hungry at this hour.
"Right...... right. There are a lot of other guys who are hungry besides the Rays, can we make it an early meal?"
"Oh. And sometimes you've crushed enemy strongholds, and you can make it a little extravagant to eat today."
Those who were listening around have a strong interest in Ray's words like that.
Until recently, I was surprised to see Ray's topographical manipulation, but the Centaurs would still be more interested in the dishes they actually eat than in things like moving the earth.
Especially the faces that acted with Ray to crush the stronghold said that there were Rays with mysteries, but the meal was only the kind of preserved food that didn't spread the smell around them.
That was true while waiting in the trenches, as was the case when we took a short break before returning to this camp after the demise of the base.
Also, if the remaining Zays in this camp want to have a meal that smells all around them, with little power, including Ray... after all, life is more important.
As a result, Zai and the others were not able to eat a very tasty meal while Ray and the others were away.
Most importantly, today's lunch, when the Rays base exterminator is sleeping, is usually a satisfying lunch because if Dragonias comes, he has the strength to fight it.
Still, I have a strong interest in the term extravagant meals out of Ray's mouth.
"Right. I think it would be nice to celebrate the crushing of the stronghold."
If Zai, who is directing the scout team to Ray's proposal, agreed, there was no one else to disagree with.
In the first place, there is basically no one who doesn't want to eat good food.
Thus, ingredients are removed from Ray's mystering and a slightly earlier dish begins.
"Hey, Ray. Aren't you going to serve the food Ray has?
That's what Vihera asks Ray, who was also leaning on Ceto next to Ray, who was watching the Centaurs cooking.
Vihera is also hungry, and now she does combat training to the Centaurs... and so on and so on.
"I heard it once, but they want to make it themselves because it's a corner"
Only Centaur, who is good at cooking, would have eaten Ray's served dishes several times and had a rival heart for their delicacy.
When I cook dishes that taste better than Ray's serves, I'm currently trying my best to cook ahead of Ray's gaze.
"Hmm. If it's food, I think that's fine if it's delicious."
That's what I tell you, Vihera, but you can cook quite a bit.
Nevertheless, that dish is only a dish I learned as an adventurer, and if it is not a dish I learned in my studies as a former princess of the Bestian Empire, it does not mean that I can cook in earnest like a marina.
Nevertheless, Vihella can be above Ray in the sense of culinary skill.
Anyway, in Ray's case, there's basically nothing like cooking even if you're in the middle of a request, because you often eat the dishes stored in the mysteries.
"Right. But what's gathering over there are the culinary prides of all sorts of settlements. It doesn't mean the food you cook isn't good."
Having said that, Ray has a slight doubt that they and Centaur taste the same... but if you consider them to be similar to the Beast Man, that question will soon disappear.
"So... is Vihera free now?
To Ray's words, Vihera turns a frightened gaze and says nothing.
If you try it on Vihera, it's only natural that you want to take your time next to the man you love.
Even so, Ray at heart doesn't understand how he feels at all, so it was only natural for Vihera to turn a frightened gaze.
... Still don't get angry and just turn a frightened glance, I guess because I know Ray's character.
"Vihera?"
"It's nothing. I'm pretty happy with the fight right now, so I'm not going to train you. Besides, other people will feel the same way."
Ray, is that what Vihella said? Convinced.
No, I didn't actually convince you, I just recognized it as something like that.
"Grrrrrrrr?"
And Seto, who was leaning against Ray and Vihera, accidentally rattles his throat.
Such Seto's attitude is naturally passed on to Ray and Vihera as well.
Still didn't feel dangerous for Seto's squeal, Ray doesn't move particularly fast.
And I guess it's safe if Ray doesn't move, and Vihera didn't move in a similar hurry again.
But... a little bit later, I feel signs of approaching us.
The sign was something he remembered, so Ray leans on Ceto, turning only to you with his gaze, and opens his mouth.
"What's up, Zai"
"Oh, actually... the scouts are back"
"Again?... hey. Maybe you found another base, or something like that?
I just got back to this settlement today, and even if they want me to crush my next base soon, I'm in trouble as Ray.
It's not like I can't do it.
It's just that Zai shakes his neck sideways at the words of Ray like that.
"No, it's not. Apparently, they ran into people from another settlement that existed around here."
"Again?
Ray speaking the same words as a few seconds ago.
In fact, I just ran into a reconnaissance team from a settlement around here the other day in the same way.
Similar settlements mean that there are several others.
"Oh, again. It's just... they ran into Dragonias before they ran into this scout team. Fortunately, the number of opponents was small, so we were able to defeat them, but they also deserve those who were injured."
"I see. Are you an expert?"
If you are defeating Dragonias, it is beneficial as a force of war.
Also, Zai didn't say it in his mouth, but if his compatriot Centaur was injured as Zai's personality, it was only natural that he wanted to treat him.
"If Zai thought we could put him in the camp, I wouldn't mind. So all you need is some kind of medicine?
Naturally, the medicines are in the mysteries as well, than the supplies prepared by each settlement are stored in Ray's mysteries.
Before Ray left to crush Dragonias' stronghold, I left some medicine for when something happened...
(When you look at Zai, you mean it wasn't enough for you to leave him? Well, as far as this goes, I don't suppose any of the guys are seriously injured like they're in danger of their lives)
With that in mind, Ray rises from the state where he was leaning against Seto.
"You'll be free until you can have dinner anyway, and you'll have a hard time carrying your meds. Then I'll go directly."
"Are you sure?
"Oh. As far as Zai's concerned, I don't know if it's gonna be a problem... maybe he'll need the pills I have"
Medicine in this case is about potion.
Because few Centaurs can use magic, there is no such thing as potion.
Only medicine made by a pharmacist is a healing medicine.
Naturally, the medicine in that hand recovers too slowly, unlike the potion.
In Ray's impression, it can be said that drugs are normally sold in Japan.
Compared to this, the potion can instantly heal wounds, like fantasy.
Ray was the only one on this scene with such a potion.
"Sorry, that would help. I just don't think Ray needs to worry about it because he said it wasn't that bad."
"Never mind. It also means I'm half free.... What about Vihera?
"Right. I could go that way too... No, it doesn't look very interesting and it seems like I'm over there doing some pre meal exercise"
"... right"
Do you fight in the end?
That feeling pushes him to death within himself, dropping off Vihera on her way to the two Centaurs, who are talking a little further away, and Ray, along with Seto, follows Zai's guide to the new rendezvous.
"So, how much injury, exactly?
"You have most of the cuts. And... some of them are eating meat and getting chopped up."
"I guess..."
Dragonias' main method of attack is twofold.
That's two things: cleaving the opponent with sharp nails growing from his fingers, and biting the opponent with those sharp fangs... no, eating a thousand cuts.
It actually seems like you could do something like hit your body or release a kick in the lizard area that's on your lower body, but at least Ray has such a way of fighting Dragonias... I've never seen anything but gold scales and silver scales dragonias.
For that reason, it was only natural for Ray that the wounds of Centaur, who fought Dragonias, would be such wounds.
"Anyway, if you have nail wounds, if you've been chopped a thousand times... using a healing pill isn't going to heal that easily, is it?
If you have a cut, the medicine will heal you.
But being eaten a thousand times means that there is no meat in the place itself.
Even if I healed that wound, I couldn't have made the same move as before so easily.
(If it's potion or healing magic, I can handle it)
I thought so, Ray, but Zai tells me it's not a problem.
"I'm fine. I've been chopped, but the wound itself isn't that big."
"Really? Well, I'm pretty sure Zai would say that."
The edge of the camp as we talk...... head to one of the free-to-go places Ray built with terrain manipulation.
In that place, the returning Centaurs were surprised and excited to talk about something to the other Centaurs.
Though, what I thought it was about came right into Ray's ear.
In the short time since we left, they couldn't believe the camp was surrounded by this much state.
"I brought Ray in."
To Zai's words, the Centaur who was on the spot… the gaze of those who were on reconnaissance and the Centaur who were newly rendezvous with him was pointed at Ray.
