Legend

From what Ray saw, I didn't think the newly rendezvous Centaurs injuries were that bad.

Zai was right, some of them had been eaten a thousand times, but fortunately the place where they had been eaten a thousand times wasn't that big, to the extent that Ray didn't put out a potion and Centaur and the rest of them could do enough with the healing pills they normally use.

Ray was also more helpful in this than not knowing what side effects using the potion would have.

... This world has quite a lot in common with Elgin, so I thought it would probably be okay to use potions.

"I'm sorry. Thanks to Ray for saving me. Thanks."

I guess he leads those who have joined him, a man with an appearance in his thirties, bows his head deeply toward Ray and says a word of gratitude.

Ray is surprised by such a centaur.

Because until now, the majority of people cared more or less that they were two-legged.

Now, Ray also didn't particularly care because Centaur understood that the number of legs was important.

That would be a huge number of people who would not care that much if they showed strength, even if they imitated it as an insult because it was two legs at first......

That's why I find it slightly unpleasant at first, but if you also make contact with many centaurs around several settlements, you'll get used to it even if you don't like it.

I was wondering if it would be the same again this time, but the Centaurs in front of me were different.

Ray said a word of gratitude with two legs and no care at all.

This was, to be honest, a surprise to Ray.

('Cause you used a healing pill? But... healing pills themselves aren't that special)

Open your mouth with such doubt.

"No, never mind. If you guys fought Dragonias, it's got something to do with us.... than that..."

Ray, who was talking to a man, finds himself with some of the other faces...... centaurs who finished the treatment using a healing drug, pointing an intriguing gaze at him.

Interesting because it's two legs? I had that thought, but for that, there's a lot of friendliness in the gaze the Centaurs turn to themselves.

"Hey, you guys don't care because I have two legs? I've been around a lot of settlements before, but mostly when I found out I had two legs, it seemed like I had something to think about."

"Yeah? Oh, you mean that.... Looks like your buddy was turning a blind eye. Sorry."

When a man of leadership follows Ray's gaze and finds out it's his own people at the end of that gaze, that's how he speaks the words of apology.

I guess I'm looking a little embarrassed because I was ashamed of my buddy's behavior.

"No, they're turning a friendly gaze, so it's not like I'm offended or anything. I just thought it would be unusual to turn a friendly gaze so far on me with two legs."

"Neither was our settlement so friendly to our two-legged opponents before. I just got two two-legged women who came before me to help me with what I was having trouble with in the settlement. So even with two legs..."

"Wait a minute"

He was a leader man who tried to keep talking, but Ray stops the word.

If you're a man, why are you stopping your words on the way? And he seemed to wonder, but there was a part of the explanation for Ray that he could never hear.

"You just said a two-legged woman, didn't you? When did that happen?

"Whenever they say... right. About fifty days ago."

"... fifty days?

The words totally poked Ray's intentions.

How the hell am I supposed to judge this?

In this meadow, a two-legged woman is very rare.

That would be obvious if we saw how the Centaurs and the others would respond to Ray and Vihera.

That's why I thought Anastasia and Fana were the two people who helped me where I was in trouble in the settlement of the Centaurs in front of me...

(No, then should I normally just ask my name)

Judging so, Ray asks with a serious look.

"Wasn't that woman named Anastasia, by the way? Also, wasn't there another woman in the mask of Fana with you?

"Huh!?

Hearing Ray's words, Centaur gives a startling look.

Seeing that reaction, it's clear that that wasn't the only thing wrong with my expectations. But...

(Fifty days? What the hell is that?

That's the only question Ray has.

And when Ray has such doubts, some of the newly-rendezvous Centaurs turn their alert gaze to Ray.

Who knows their benefactor.

That's not Centaur living in this meadow either, the same two-legged man as the Anastasians.

So, I couldn't be more alert.

But... before Ray can say anything to those Centaurs, a man of leadership opens his mouth.

"Stop."

The word was not so loud, but nevertheless sufficiently powerful to stop others from moving.

"Dear Damran, why are you stopping! Those two are the benefactors of our settlement! If so…"

"Calm down."

When a leader man called Damran squeals again, the man who was trying to argue more with the word also stops the word again.

"He's the one who prepared the medicine for us. Besides... this guy is strong. If we all hang together, we won't win. Of course, if you do harm to Lord Anastasia, you are not afraid of death... but at least not in my eyes."

Didn't I?

Ray, so gazed at, honestly agrees with the words.

"That's right. We're here to pick up Anastasia and Fana.... To be honest, it was unexpected..."

The most unexpected would still be that nearly fifty days have passed since Anastasia and Fana came to this world.

There may be some difference to be exact, but still fifty days...... if it were almost two months ago, it was only natural to wonder what the hell had happened and what had happened.

(Possible possibilities include a hole in the underground space of Trento Forest, time between Anastasia and Fana coming into this world and Grimm fixing the hole?

Specifically, Ray doesn't even know how much time difference there was between them.

But when it becomes a hole that connects the world to the world, it's not strange that there's something common sense can't think of.

That is why, in this case, there was a jet lag, and as a result, nearly fifty days had passed since the jet lag had already occurred when the grimm fixed the hole.

If you think about it, it's quite forceful, but it's not unconvincing.

"To bring him back? It's been a long time.

"There's been a lot going on. In a magical way, specifically. If you know Anastasia, you know she's a spiritual magician, right? I failed in that spiritual magic experiment... and that's why I'm here. So, we're too late to be here."

It was a pretty cod story, but as a Ray, I can't honestly say I'm from another world, etc.

Beyond that, it was imperative to make up something appropriate.

... nor is it wrong that Anastasia is a spiritual wizard and curious.

That's why I came into this world by entering holes that lead to different worlds.

The words Ray uttered were never all cod.

"... I see"

Damran was also convinced of Ray's words because he had dealt with Anastasia.

Seeing as that went on, Anastasia was probably troubling Fana by allowing her to show her prior curiosity, even in the Damran settlement, yes Ray thinks.

"Anyway, are Anastasia and Fana still in the Damran settlement today?

"No, I left the settlement after a few days' stay"

Ray could also understand from Damran's eyes that the word was never a lie.

"Right.... haven't you heard of where you're going or something like that?

"I don't know how it was. He was interested in saying there were numerous countries outside the meadows, so he could have gone that way.... but I was also interested in Dragonias. I can't tell you which way it went."

To Damran's words, Ray worries.

It is true that if you try to lay, you have the idea that defeating Dragonias is a little less likely to cause damage to Anastasia and Fana.

That Anastasia and Fana were interested in Dragonias was... just anticipating it in a way, it's not very funny that it hit.

"No matter how Anastasia and Fana move, we need to find the home of Dragonias and destroy them as soon as possible.... To be honest, I was thinking about going back once I found my home base and it seemed hard to destroy."

In the first place, once... really once, but the name of this unit is a scout team.

Normally, reconnaissance teams do not imitate enemy strongholds by destroying them.

Some of these reconnaissances are forcible reconnaissance, such as aggressively defeating an enemy if it is found, but even such reconnaissance does not first imitate the destruction of the enemy's stronghold.

In that sense, the reconnaissance team led by Zai, even if it was named the reconnaissance team, was essentially what should be called the extermination team.

But if it still seemed difficult to destroy Dragonius by finding his home base, beyond the fact that he was still a scout team, he was going to go back and build more strength.

The Centaurs participating in this reconnaissance team are what we should call elite in each settlement, but still many of those who really stand up are not.

Though that may be more natural than not knowing when there will be a raid on Dragonias.

But... considering Anastasia and Fana, there's no way I'm gonna leave you alone like this, even as Ray.

While judging him that way, Ray decides to crush Dragonias' home base with this action.

(Crushing the home base doesn't make sense unless we find that home first)

Think so...... and then Ray turns his gaze to Damrun.

"You were here for reconnaissance, too, so I'll ask you for once, though I don't know. Do you know where Dragonias is based?

This is the first question I have spoken of with the thought that I would not know.

In the first place, Ray had the thought that if he knew where Dragonias was based, he wouldn't bother to imitate him coming to reconnaissance.

Most likely, the home of Dragonias existed near the settlement and came out on reconnaissance looking for a place to evacuate from it… but it seems unlimited.

If the base is on the side of the settlement, that's the only way to get out of there right away.

Given the hunger of Dragonias, it's not strange that all the creatures in the settlement are eaten to death.

And... as Ray expected, Damran shakes his head sideways to ask if he knows where Dragonias is based.

"No, I'm sorry, but I don't.... If I knew, I could move the settlement to a safer place.... Sorry."

I just asked because I thought the original probably wouldn't know, and even if Damran didn't know the home of Dragonias, he wouldn't imitate Ray to blame either.

"Never mind. I just asked because I thought it would be easier if I knew.... By the way, don't you know the base, not the home base?

"I don't even know you. I mean, it's the first time I've heard of Dragonias creating a base."

"Right.... Then I'll have to leave it to the others on reconnaissance to find their home base. If you can find me on this reconnaissance, it'll help."

That's what I said, Ray, but I notice the smell that inadvertently stimulates my appetite drifting in the wind.

"Dinner is ready."

I can hear Centaur screaming as he was cooking a meal.

Hearing that voice, many Centaurs head to the center of the camp, where they were cooking their meals.

"Look, you guys come too. You have to eat well to heal your injuries."

"Huh? So are we... okay?

Ray turned his gaze to Zai in the words of Damran, who told him bewildered… Zai nodded naturally to his gaze.
