Legend

"Then... celebrate the safe passage of the day today... cheers!

Cheers!

In the words of Zai, put up the cup everyone had and say the word toast.

... although the only drink I could drink at dinner was one in that cup.

Sweating, drinking water… and those who suffered from hangovers this morning as a result of their work had already completely taken off their hangovers at dinner.

That's why I couldn't have let him drink that much to keep him from getting hungover again because he was drinking too much.

If, as it is today, an enemy strikes you in a state of hangover, Zai's position is that you can never make him drink as much as he likes.

Still, many people really want to drink, given the deliciousness of the alcohol they drank yesterday.

It wasn't just that, it was doing mining work like digging holes all day long, carrying that dirt, fishing for the remains of tents, etc.

Especially the former mining work, I don't even know if there really is anything in the basement of this settlement... if there is one, there is more spiritual drain on those who do the work than I don't know how deep the hell it is.

In fact, in a book I read when I was in Japan, Ray remembered seeing acts like digging the ground for nothing, burying it and digging it again... in torture.

What the Centaurs are digging is only from the thought that there may be something under this settlement, and it had a proper purpose... but it still doesn't change that it is a spiritually demanding task.

If it's about a glass of booze, and even to some extent its mental fatigue is healed...... it wouldn't be strange for Ray to think and behave like that.

"Are you sure?

"It's just one drink, and it's not gonna be like this morning. The Centaurs know how hard it is to work with a hangover.... Most importantly, if you were hungover when Dragonias attacked you'd have thought about how tough the hell it would be"

"You must have thought of it, but if you had a glass of booze, you'd forget those hard memories right away, wouldn't you?

The words out of Vihera's mouth were strong persuasive.

Vihera has also worked as an adventurer since her departure from the Bestian Empire.

At that time, as a matter of course, it's not strange to have trouble with alcohol.

... although it was another story about whether it would work in this situation.

"Some people may make noise about wanting more booze. But... without that booze, there's nothing you can do."

Alcohol other than that used in this toast is already stored in Ray's mystering.

No matter how much you say you want more booze, it doesn't make sense without that booze.

... Or maybe, really maybe, but if we looked inside this settlement, we couldn't deny the possibility that there was booze somewhere.

(Oh, but if there was alcohol or something, wouldn't it be strange if Dragonias already drank it)

When you think of the dragonias that struck this settlement, it was very likely that even if there was alcohol, it was not already there by the dragonias along with food.

Drunk Dragonias didn't mean Ray wanted to see it.

"Ray, this"

That's what Vihera gave Ray, a dish with dishes on it.

Among the Centaurs, dishes made by the culinary prides.

Naturally, most of the ingredients in the dish came out of Ray's mysteries... few, but other ingredients were also used.

"Forest ingredients?... We talked about being eaten normally in this settlement, and I don't think there's a problem with that."

Receive and spoon boil lamb meat with vegetables and vanilla to your mouth.

I have a slight habit of seasoning it, but I have eaten it many times in previous meals, so I was able to eat it without any particular problems, and I could say it was delicious.

However, what worried Ray only a little is that ingredients picked from the woods around the settlement are also used in other dishes, including this stew… vanilla, nuts and mountain vegetables.

It is clear from looking at the bodies of dragonias weathered overnight that the forests around this settlement are not ordinary forests.

What more effect does it have on the forest than it is...... I don't see that.

That's the only way to use ingredients that are stored in Ray's mysteries if you're going to act cautiously.

Because the ingredients in the mysteries remain fresh forever because time is running out.

But still, not all the ingredients that Centaur eats are in the mistering.

Some ingredients were not provided for reasons such as rarity or lack of stock.

In addition, the ingredients needed to be saved wherever possible, more than not knowing when they would be able to find their home base.

I heard about that reason and the fact that the surviving facets of this settlement were usually picking and eating ingredients from the woods, and I decided to pick ingredients from the woods and use them for cooking.

... As a result, today's dish turned out to be something different than usual, but still definitely delicious.

"Right. Look, they're all happy to eat."

"Some people are dissatisfied."

Said Ray, the one who is complaining.

That's not because you're dissatisfied with a meal, it's because you can only drink one drink.

I was wondering if you'd forgotten about the hangover this morning, and Ray turns his frightened gaze to the Centaurs who are complaining.

Then the Centaurs, who were complaining about whether they felt Ray's gaze like that, raised their gaze... and when they understood Ray and his gaze matched, they showed a panic.

I guess I didn't think Ray was asking us about the dissatisfaction we were talking about.

shittiness and travel to escape Ray's gaze with a glass of booze.

"Oh."

Vihera seemingly drops off such a centaur.

… However, in tomorrow's combat training, a gaze with the idea of doing a close simulation battle.

Ray turns a pitiful glance at the Centaurs who were lost in the crowd because of how Vihera was doing.

"So, Ray. What are you planning on doing tomorrow? I knew you and Seto were gonna go look for headquarters like we did today?

"Oh, I'm going to. There's one of those spotted dragonias, and maybe there's a home base nearby.... I didn't see a place like that."

Get in the ceto and watch from the sky.

If you have the home of Dragonias, it's not hard to find it.

But we could not find such a suspicious place near where we fought the spotted Dragonias.

"Then there might be a big base, not a home base."

To the words of Vihera, Ray nods too.

In fact, there is no denying the possibility that there is another base nearby than today alone, which raided more than one... on the contrary, it is a fairly likely story.

And as for Ray, I also wish that the base was not a normal base, but an important one that would be connected to the home base.

(Well, I don't think it's going to be that good. That's what happened when it happened. So it's easy to do even over here.)

If you try Ray, naturally you want to find the home of Dragonias a little faster.

But it was also natural to expect that flying through the sky and looking for them would take a little more time to find them.

Nevertheless, at times like this, when we can find it, we can find it lightly... which is quite what Ray has been through.

The question is, when will we be able to find that light?

"Hey, Ray. You know, magic that works for hangovers, you know?

Ray didn't know for a moment what he was being told by Dolphina, who approached him with a glass.

And when you understand the meaning of words, you turn your gaze at them.

"Um. You've explained my magic, haven't you? Where do you think I'm going with that, and the word comes out," Do something about hangovers "to me?

While I do, from what I've seen of Dolphina, it doesn't look like I'm really saying it, so the word out of Ray's mouth is half a joke. Half a joke.

Ray's magical attribute is flame.

When you use other magic, it's so hard to think of in common sense... that a normal wizard needs so much magic that it's even difficult to activate it.

If you think about it, or if you want to make magic that will relieve the hangover, you can make it.

(Burn something that's causing the hangover? No, but I don't know what that is and... is it okay to imagine burning alcohol? But if you burn alcohol that way, it will burn the other person's body...)

I'll just think about it for a few seconds, but the conclusion was that it was difficult.

Or maybe it would be possible if we studied it more fully, but Hate and Ray aren't going to do that at the moment.

"That's a shame. If Ray could make the magic of curing hangovers, we could still drink every day."

"No, don't drink like you'll stay the next day in the first place.... Or maybe Dolphina should make that magic, not me?

Ray knows he's a flame-specific wizard, and Dolphina knows he has several attributes to it.

It was Ray's expectation that Dolphina would be better suited than herself if she were to create magic to cure hangovers than she was.

But Dolphina shakes her neck to the side against Ray's words like that.

"Because the way you develop magic is different. If I wanted to create a magic that would relieve the hangover, that's what I need to decide from the details. By contrast, in Ray's case, if you can imagine, that would activate magic, wouldn't it?

To the words, Ray nods honestly.

To the theoretical dolphina, the sensationalist Ray.

They were both the same in the sense of using magic, but the difference between them is huge when actually using magic.

"Even so. That's magic you don't even know if you're gonna succeed, and if you fail, you're gonna burn your body to death, okay?

That explanation was unexpected for Dolphina as well, words like 'whoa' leak out of its mouth.

I guess I imagined my body would be burned by Ray's magic.

Besides, the magic wasn't done to attack, it was magic to cure the hangover.

... If it burns as a result of being attacked hostilely with Ray, it will still be unbearable if he dies from burning from his body with magic to cure the hangover.

At a time like this, if it is like a Dolphina that makes up magic in theory, it can be explained as if something is wrong with the ceremony that makes up magic, and it is possible to modify that strange thing.

But in the case of Ray, who uses magic with his senses, once he realizes it's something like that, it's not even possible to fix it... but it's also quite difficult.

Just using magic with the senses, Ray can instantly configure it as magic if it's something he can imagine.

But I use magic with my senses, so Ray's magic is only Ray's magic.

"In the meantime, give up on hangovers. I don't want to serve alcohol today either."

Yes, Ray tells him, Dolphina gives up and walks away from the spot.

"Oh, that's too bad. If there was some magic about hangovers healing, it would seem very convenient."

Half the joke - I mean, half the seriousness - so that's what I said, Vihella.

Unlike Ray, Vihera is not vulnerable to alcohol, so she drinks quite a bit.

... On the contrary, it is strong enough to say alcoholic.

I don't drink much when dining with Ray.

"It's magic that Vihella doesn't need, right?

"Right. But not just Gilm... but if you knew there was this magic in the tavern, you'd make a lot of money, wouldn't you?

"No, it's nothing. I'm not in trouble for money. You'll be thankful."

In fact, I drink too much in a liquor store and get hung over...... few people do a dangerous imitation of going out on a request in that situation.

On the contrary, in some cases even people cancel requests with hangovers.

Try those guys, if there's such a thing as magic that cures hangovers, that's what you'd want from the bottom of your heart... but Ray didn't have to go along with it.
