"Well, if it's bright, it's like this. No, even at night, the results didn't change."

Ray squeals so when he sees the numerous dragonias falling in the woods.

What happened there was that any difference between day and night was exactly the same sight as last night.

Dragonias sought the body of Vihera - in an appetizing sense - and killed it, rendering it immobile by the trees growing in the woods.

Is the dragonias in the role of commander still here today properly, or the dragonias who are unable to move by the trees will grow up as they are.

Ray uses a spear of dusk to finish it off from behind.

Vihera is somewhat wider...... specifically where Dragonias broke the trees last night he was fighting multiple Dragonias.

The only difference would have been that there was no such thing as a normal dragonias going wild because the dragonias in the role of commander were never defeated before the dragonias were exterminated.

That meant that Dragonias, still in command, was still lurking somewhere.

(They went into the settlement last night and lost to Seto... but didn't that happen this time? Even from the settlers, I'm pretty sure there was a fight because I heard a fight)

No matter how much Ray and Vihella have the protruding strength, there is no mistake that they are two in the end.

Beyond that, when it comes to protecting settlements and fighting in the woods, things like protecting settlements completely are really difficult.

At the very least, if this is a settlement in the meadow, not a forest, you don't have to imitate it like you miss your enemies.

If you fight a herd of dragonias that do not come from one direction of the forest for that reason, but move on to surround the forest, you will indeed pass enemies through the settlement.

But in last night's battle, a copper scale dragonias appeared in the settlement as Ray and Vihera were fighting outside the settlement, which Seto eventually defeated.

Try not to encounter the Rays in the same way this time and break into the woods and let Seto knock them down.

That's what I was thinking, there's nothing like dragonias going wild until the end of this fight... which meant that there were still copper scaled dragonias or some other special individual still out there somewhere.

"Even so... a normal dragonias doesn't make any sense if you put it on Vihera"

"Oh... yeah?

That's what Vihera says to Ray's words about how she enjoyed the fight against Dragonias.

Originally, Dragonias has a strong defense against certain attributes depending on the color of their scales.

That's why, in the case of Dragonias with red scales, Ray's magic can't kill him until he's overwhelmed.

But it must have been the worst thing for Dragonias and the others that fought was Vihera.

Because Vihela is the opponent with a special blow, like ignoring the opponent's defense.

Vihera can also be used naturally besides immersive palms and joint moves.

No matter how slightly or softly the attack is a dragonias that is difficult to hurt, the joints are not covered in scales beyond having to move.

With Vihera's strength, it's not hard to imitate a lightly broken joint.

"I guess there's still a copper scale dragonias out there somewhere that didn't burst out like last night in the end...... you're not coming out"

"Right. It doesn't mean you're weak because you're small, so I think you can attack me."

"No, that's not what I meant.... Well, if you come out, Vihera fights, so I guess that decision is never wrong"

Ray stops saying any more to Vihera looking forward to fighting the copper scale dragonias.

More than that, we now needed to be vigilant as to where the dragonias of copper scales would strike from.

... but after about five minutes, there is no way the enemy will ever show up.

(Hey, could this be... didn't you run away?

Though special dragonias with copper scales, dragonias nevertheless are dragonias.

I didn't think I was that intelligent, but smaller than the rest, naturally, means I need to compete with something other than physical ability.

One of them is wisdom.

Dragonias in particular is dominated by hunger, and few have wisdom.

If so, if there was a dragonias of copper scales, it could be using it.

And running away from the scene meant we brought back our information.

It hurts that our information was known to Dragonius.

Until now, the Rays had occupied this settlement, but it was not known if Dragonias knew about it.

It was not clear to the Dragonians whether this settlement was occupied by the Rays.

But if the dragonias of copper scales escape this scene, they will now surely attack with a multitude of forces.

(No, considering this one thing, isn't it strange that the other side already knows about this thing? Nevertheless, it probably became something like certain that it felt like something like that)

When that happens, does it end up the same as it is now? I didn't think so, but it is true that the current situation itself is quite harsh in the first place.

Regardless, the Rays should have felt that the Centaurs were particularly smug about the area.

"Ray? What are you gonna do?

"In these woods, it's going to be hard for us to find Dragonias alone.... and Seto is difficult."

If Seto's sense of smell, it wouldn't be so hard to find the copper scale dragonias that would have escaped.

But in this case, the problem is the trees growing in the woods.

Forest trees are very difficult to move for Seto, who is more than three metres long.

That's why I couldn't rely on Ceto for a detour in this one case.

(When that happens... do you want me to fly out of the woods and follow you from there with the smell of Seto? No, but I didn't see the copper scale dragonias in person. It'd be harder to follow that, too)

For once it was Seto defeating the copper scale dragonias in last night's battle, but still just because he's the same kind of enemy doesn't mean the smell is the same.

Beyond that, I needed to think hard first now.

"Return to the settlement for now? The body of this forest, maybe at night... if it sucks or tomorrow morning, it's probably already weathered."

There's no point in saying anything in this situation now than last night's body is already weathered.

It's not hard to predict that.

... Simply because it is troublesome to clean up the bodies of the woods in the present situation.

Did Vihera also agree with Ray that eventually the two return to the settlement?

"Oh, you didn't have that many enemies this time around."

It's in the settlement, Vihera squeaks when she sees Dragonias' body.

In fact, that number of bodies isn't that high... it was definitely easier than last night's battle.

... I'm sure it was easier, though many of the combat personnel were hangovers, many were exhausted and sharp smelling rays and vihelas frowned lightly at the sour odor.

Although the hangover had healed somewhat in the time between waking up and raiding, it was not very, but not in full condition.

We fought a life-threatening battle in that state, so it would be natural for those who do such things as throw up to come out.

Naturally... Still, there is no way I can accept the smell in favor of even that.

Does the salvation at least mean that it is outside that even smells, and that if the wind blows in the settlement, it will eliminate that smell?

... but there's nothing I can do if I don't handle you more than what I spit on.

"Clean it up. If you don't clean up... you know what I mean, right?

With a full grin, Vihera tells him so with a powerful grin, the Centaurs, who heard it, rush to start cleaning up what they threw up, even after they had fought in a state of hangover.

That's all, I guess Vihella is afraid.

Also, in the present situation, where the battle has just ended with a hangover, no one naturally wants to conduct a mock battle with Vihella.

If so, I guess we thought we should first handle what we threw up to avoid damaging Vihella's mood.... that's all too.

Usually, some people say they don't like to follow Vihera's instructions because they're hungover and in a bad mood.

"Zai, come here for a second"

In the meantime, Ray calls Zai, who was trying to finish himself off.

I thought Zai was going to say something again about the hangover, but Ray's expression is serious, not very much, but not how he's trying to say something about the hangover.

Even though I have a subtle bad feeling about how Ray looks like that, Zai gets closer to Ray.

And Zai's unpleasant hunch hits me.

"You're lying, you let the copper scale dragonias escape?

"Apparently so.... I ask you once, you didn't come this way like you did last night, did you?

"Oh. A few Dragonias are here.... I've had a lot of trouble."

Fighting in a hangover situation was still tough, I guess.

Though, Zai was a subtly out of sight word about whether the hangover had also largely healed in mining operations.

Naturally, Ray noticed that, too, but now it's just not if we're talking about the matter, put it back together.

"Neither did the copper scale dragonias come to us. … Now, Dragonias and the others were following orders firmly"

In this case, it is not a difficult story to judge.

The Dragonias are trying not to break this forest tree for some reason.

To be precise, Dragonias is in a position to issue orders that are not controlled by hunger.

So, it was definitely convenient at times like this.

"I mean... what do you mean? Could it be that more dragonias are coming next?

"It hurts that it could have been the dragonias of copper scales that got us away. The dragonias of copper scales are probably more intelligent than the dragonias of gold and silver scales"

That's not what we've finalized yet, it's just Ray's prediction.

But still, Ray probably told me that because he didn't think it was wrong.

To Ray's words like that, he understands how troublesome the hell it would be if it were true, and opens his mouth with a serious look as if he had already forgotten that he was out of sight about the hangover thing, etc.

"What do we do?

"Whatever you do or do... whatever you said this way, it actually feels like you've overlapped my predictions. Maybe the dragonias of copper scales are still in the woods, and we can't deny that."

Himself, Ray, tells that in a tone he doesn't believe at all.

Zai also decides from the state of Ray that he will not be able to do anything like believe the words, although not very much.

"So? I understand it's hard for this information to be brought back to Dragonias, but so what are we going to do?

"I have a few options. The quickest way to do this... is for me and Seto to find the home of Dragonias from the sky."

It was Ray and Seto, who were directional tone-deaf, but if there is a landmark called Forest in this meadow, there is no such thing as getting lost.

That's why it was an opinion, but Zai gives such a difficult look to Ray's opinion.

"When that happens, I think the mining work will be delayed because Seto will be gone... what are you going to do with that? Plus, there's the issue of power."

"I'm going to have to ask you guys to do it. And in the sense of force, I'm leaving Vihella behind."

Vihera gives such a dissatisfied look to Ray's words.

But still, I guess I don't actually speak out of dissatisfaction because I understand that if someone is not in this settlement from among Ray, Vihera and Seto, there is no possessor of the strength to fight the commander when Dragonias raids us.

... It is also significant that when Dragonias strikes, he is a man who can fight in the woods and, above all, has a white, soft limb that attracts enemies.

"... ok. I can't answer that right away, but I'll think about it for a second"

Zai replied to Ray's suggestion.
