Legend

Work begins on mining the settlement.

In the meantime, if you do things like suddenly dig the whole settlement, there's no place left to use it as a camp, and above all, you don't have enough hands on the digging side.

It was in the woods, but I guess it's only natural because the area of the settlement is quite large.

It also concludes that you should concentrate your efforts in one place more than you know exactly how deep to dig besides that.

As a result, the settlement was to be divided into six parts and mining operations were to begin in one of the locations.

I guess it is also relevant in this case that the effective range of skills for terrain manipulation with death size is determined.

... note that the kind of property that was originally in the settlement and the still safe tent are stored in Ray's Mystering for now.

Some of these gemstones seem quite expensive, and I wondered if I could really keep them, but if the survivors of the settlement told me that Ray could be trusted, I couldn't even say no to them as Ray.

In fact, if you put that hand somewhere, it could get in the way... and some scouts could sneak up on jewelry.

Of course, the survivors of this settlement don't know if it really is.

It hasn't been a day since I met the scout team.

That would make it more impossible for me to trust the scout team completely.

There was a question as to why Ray was believed in such a situation, but whatever the scouts were, Ray magically purified the body, which I guess reflected him as a trustworthy opponent.

As for Ray, even though he asked me if I could be so trustworthy, I couldn't honestly imitate him snorting.

Still, if that's what they say... and in the current situation, I decided that I should store my luggage in mystering as much as possible, so that I could comply with the other party's request.

"Okay, then we'll go from here... topographical manipulation"

Stick a Death Size Stone Penetration to the ground and activate your skills.

Then at the next moment, Ray's perceived location sinks to the ground about a hundred and fifty cm.

(Sinking on the ground means maybe the flavor surface that was on top is moving downwards as it were, so if there's anything underground, then something of it also sinks more downwards than the beginning, right?... or is the dust that sank underground moving somewhere else? Well, it doesn't make sense to think about that area in detail)

Originally, it's a world with magic and skills, so it doesn't make much sense to think about the area in detail... like, Ray seemed to me.

If so, you don't have to think about that much detail in this case, but for now, I tell myself that's what I should think.

And while Ray was thinking about that, the effect of terrain manipulation was complete.

"This is..."

The first time we see terrain manipulation, the survivors of this settlement leak surprises.

I guess I never thought I could imitate such things as suddenly sinking a wide area of ground from now on.

But those who have seen Ray's terrain manipulation are once again astonished, and the impact is not as good as those who have never seen it before.

As soon as the ground sinks, we enter the excavation work.

… However, even though the excavation work is carried out, there are no tools to dig the soil.

So we use the supplies that were in the settlement to make tools like easy scoops and tsuruhashi and dig the ground.

Also, if we were to dig the ground as a matter of course, the dust we dug would get in the way.

We also needed someone to carry such a dust and sand kind.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto is pretty active in such mining work.

Metal... or digging the ground with nails that have more hardness than that, or carrying dirt and sand made of it.

It was just endless activity.

"Ray, there's a box of dirt accumulating over here, please"

Called to Centaur, Ray heads over there.

With only the soil being served, it cannot be stored in the mistering.

But if you put it in a box or something, it's easy to store it in a mysterious ring.

That's why Ray repeats the job of storing it in mystering once the excavated soil has accumulated.

In excavation operations, the excavated soil becomes a considerable disturber.

It was a very easy job for the Centaurs because Ray would store it if we put such dirt together in one place.

(Scoop?... I remember watching Scoop and Shovel on TV, depending on the location, the opposite of what I know.)

In East Japan - where Ray lived in North Japan - large objects such as those used for construction are called scoops and small objects used for horticulture are called shovels.

In contrast, in western Japan, large objects used for construction are called shovels and small objects such as those used for horticulture are called scoops.

When I was in Japan, it was one of the things Ray was surprised to see on TV.

"Hey, Ray! We've accumulated dirt here, too, so please dispose of it!

Called by Centaur, who works elsewhere, Ray stores a dust-packed container in the mistering toward it.

"What do you say? Sounds like something you can dig up?

"No, you can't. From what I've seen, not very much, but nothing. It's hard to dig back."

"I guess."

If this is a place like a field, it wouldn't be that hard to dig back.

But this is only a settlement.

I mean, I was living on this ground.

Those centaurs weigh more than humans.

Naturally, there will also be many places that have been consolidated on their hooves.

Ray's use of topographic manipulation skills has made it better not to have to dig back into the hardest places... but still, quite a bit lower than I have lived here for quite some time.

In addition, the hardness of its ground would be quite difficult for Centaur to dig back into, as well, than nearly a hundred dragonias, larger and heavier than Centaur, have stormed.

"If it's a really hard place, ask Seto. With Seto's power, we can do whatever ground is somewhat stiff."

"Oh, let me do that."

Saying so, the Centaur man heads to his place of work again.

(It hurts that you don't know how deep the object you're looking for is buried. At least I can deal with it if I know how deep it is.)

It was big in this case that I didn't know that.

Or maybe if Ray could have used earth-based magic, it would have made digging the ground a little easier.

For once, there were a few people who could use earthly magic as the beginning of Dolphina, but the magic was basically mostly like attacking with soil, digging holes...... they told me that there was no such magic as digging a pit.

If this is Ray, I would also decide that I should develop new magic... Dolphina can't imitate things like developing magic so easily like Ray.

(Death size and dusk spear attacks made the dirt... they asked me to stop imitating things like blowing up the ground to be exact)

That's from many people, including Zai.

More than that, I can't force myself as Ray.

As a result, Ray worked on things like storing mined dirt and sand in mysteries while wondering if he had any good means.

Note that this bag with dirt and sand is quite heavy, so if you do something like take it out of the mistering over the ceto, that alone can be a pretty powerful weapon.

That's what would happen if you dropped this soil from an altitude of 100m where Seto is always flying, even if you deal with Dragonias, its power breaks the bones in your neck with a single blow... or not staying with it, crushing the bones in your body and destroying your guts.

The only difficulty is that the hit rate isn't that high beyond just letting it fall from above?

Also, given the possibility that the wind would derail the falling trajectory or that the dragonias on the ground would move to another location, it seemed appropriate to use a method such as dropping a large number of shots aimed at certain enemies - although Ray did not know if that was the correct expression in this case - as if bombarding them from above where the dragonias were solidified.

If it is also a large amount of soil, its use exists in many ways.

In that sense, Ray's behavior of storing the dust and sand species out of the excavation in the mistering may be to say that some sort of replenishment work......

(In fact, I don't know when it will help... though)

While thinking that way, Ray does what he has to do one after another.

That's how some work ends up in a paragraph, heading under Vihera, who is outside the settlement.

Given Vihella's character, he thinks he can demonstrate his abilities by turning it around for reconnaissance rather than mining operations.

It was clear that Vihera should turn to watch over more than Ray and Seto were cooperating in the mining operations.

The dragonias that were in the settlement were annihilated, but not always when additional dragonias would not come.

At that time, it was imperative that personnel be able to deal with Dragonias even immediately.

... because if you don't have a lookout, you'll be robbed of something that you mined under a Dragonias raid right after you mined something for the worst purpose... and so on.

"Oh, what's wrong?

It was Vihera who looked around at her leisure time, but turned her gaze to you and asked at the signs of Ray approaching.

He's smiling somewhat happily, I guess, because Ray was happy to be here to see himself.

"No, just to see how things go.... So what do you say? Any sign of Dragonias coming?

"I'm sorry, but you don't have it at all. If you're coming, I want you to come as soon as you can."

"As for myself at work, I'm having trouble getting you here for a while."

Even if nearly a hundred Dragonias come, Vihella won't lose.

Especially if it is a battle in the woods, where many trees grow, Dragonias will have difficulty moving, so it is even more difficult.

But...... even the battle in such a place could have caused damage to Centaur had there been an opponent to come into the settlement without heading to Vihera.

In order not to do so, we still need to prepare a lookout besides Vihela... some of the scouts are on perimeter lookout just like Vihela.

Even in the old camp, the lookout was basically necessary.

With that in mind, it was only natural that we needed a lookout around this settlement as well.

"What do you think they're thinking? Exactly what do you think is buried on this ground?

The fact that there is something on this ground is only Ray's prediction.

But given how it's been and what it's been, that's still most likely...... no, there was an anticipation in Ray that I'd be pretty sure.

Still, I can't think of anything as Ray, even if I can predict something, if they actually say what it is.

Places like sending hundreds of dragonias... and forests that haven't been eaten and scattered by dragonias for some reason.

Ray also thinks the forest that hasn't been eaten and scattered by the latter dragonias is awesome, but that would be another story if Dragonias were asked if he wanted it.

"Even if they say so, you can't possibly tell me, can you? But yeah. Why don't you ask the Centaurs, starting with Zai, if there's any legendary treasures or anything like that that are being passed on to this meadow? Maybe..."

"That treasure is buried in this settlement?

Such a dream.

That's what I tried to say, Ray, but in this world, maybe it wouldn't be strange if something like that were normal? Reconsider.

In fact, many things are inexplicable in this case.

(Anastasia and the others were probably attracted to this meadow legacy or something like that...... no, don't you?

Given Anastasia's character, it would be subtle to be interested in legendary treasures.

Besides, Ray doesn't have that much to do with Anastasia either.

It hasn't been that long since Dusker introduced me.

... There is actually one case that leads to another world, or I haven't felt that long since I got to know you.

Ray continued his conversation with Vihera, thinking about Anastasia and Fana.
