Legend

"... enemy, you didn't come"

"Oh, isn't it a good thing the enemy doesn't come?

Ray and Vihera, who woke up and then went outside the magic tent, exchange words that way.

It was somewhat uncomfortable that Vihera, who usually wants a fight, says it's a good thing the enemy didn't come, but she looks around, thinking sometimes that would happen.

Several Centaurs were already awake, doing things like preparing breakfast or discussing today's plans.

... Yes, as Ray said, in the end, there was nothing like Dragonias attacking us last night.

For the sake of trouble, I only served the first glass of booze, but could I have given you a little more booze for this? And I don't think so.

But it doesn't make sense to get hungover, so I couldn't have drunk that much.

(Besides, there was no enemy in this settlement yesterday... maybe because me and Seto destroyed quite a few of the Dragonias groups and strongholds on the move yesterday)

Ray was talking about annihilation, but actually annihilation in the true sense... he didn't kill one Dragonias left.

Gold, silver, copper as commander… or dragonias of speckle scales could have survived.

But in the end, all we need is a few to attack the settlement.

That would be understandable to Dragonias.

... than Ray and Seto annihilated that number, there was also a good chance that they gave up not enough power to attack this forest.

"Besides, you're still going to reconnaissance today, right?... shouldn't it be time to seriously find your home base?

"No, seriously, nothing. I'm not doing recon out of hand, am I? If we can find it, we need to find Dragonias."

"I know that. But... it's been a long time since we've been here, right? I'm a little worried about Bühne."

The words that came out of Vihera's mouth are not like that much doubt for Ray either.

For Vihera, Bühne is like being her guardian.

... Beaune has been solid enough since its birth, so even without Vihella for a little while if I tried it on Ray, it usually seemed amazing though.

Nevertheless, that is only Ray's anticipation...... I guess it is also true that if you try to be a Vieune guardian and a self-proclaimed Vihera, there are things you think are different.

"Beaune doesn't like to communicate with other people, no matter what."

If the Rays have a good understanding of Büne's character, just Büne, who always speaks only one word of 'n', they can largely tell what they want to say.

Most importantly, if you need more information, that's what Vihella needs to interpret.

It must be a big worry for Vihera to know whether such a Büne is able to interact with everyone well without herself.

Not as much as Vihella, and Ray doesn't think so again.

... Still, I thought Elaine, Marina and Ara would do something about it if I had to.

"What, once you get back?... Given Seto's speed of travel, it's not impossible."

"It's..."

Ray's words were definitely an interesting one for Vihera as well.

However, it would still be strong to say that I was still interested in fighting Dragonias, which I could not say would return to soon.

In fact, with the advent of a completely new dragonias called the spotted Dragonias, Vihella's willingness to fight is becoming stronger.

... Other than that, I also had the question of whether Ray and Seto, who are directional tone-deaf, could come back to this forest again.

With a little distance, I can somehow guide Vihela, but I can't honestly nod if I wonder if I can make it back safely from the hole that runs through Gilm to this forest.

On the contrary, I could even think of a completely different place than here...... getting out of the meadows.

I can't think of that if it's normal, but in Ray and Seto's case, that could normally happen.

Above all, if the top three members of the current reconnaissance team - two and one to be exact - are gone, they could be raided and destroyed by Dragonias even within that day if they do poorly.

Also, the scout's food, water, and other supplies are in Ray's mysteries.

The absence of such a ray can be described as a fatal injury to the scouts.

At the end of the day, Ray leaves here... not to leave to look for Dragonias' home and base like he did yesterday, but to do something like return to Elgin needs to be radically changed in many ways.

"Whatever, I'm pretty sure you can't go anywhere else from here under the circumstances."

"If that's what Vihella says, that's fine over here.... Well, let's just say I'll try my best today"

With that said, Ray sees the situation around him.

While talking to Vihera, many Centaurs are up and starting to act on each of them.

Some of them...... no, more than half the centaurs had their doubts and slight dissatisfaction on their faces that there was no Dragonias raid last night.

I guess this dissatisfaction is a strong thought even though there was only one glass of booze yesterday.

When I hung over, I saw a lot of dragonias coming at me.

But why only last night?

Try the Centaurs, who have all the liquor lovers, and you'll naturally be dissatisfied with that one.

I didn't know why the Centaurs were so obsessed with booze because Ray didn't think it was particularly tasty to drink.

"Oh."

Unexpectedly, I hear Vihella squeal like she was impressed and follow that gaze.

At the end of that gaze, the two Centaurs were engaged in a simulated battle with their weapons in their hands.

... Though mock warfare, weapons are my stuff. In other words, a simulated battle with a long sword and a spear that you can slash if you touch it.

Normally, it's not strange to decide that it's very dangerous.

For once, when the Centaur squad also plays mock warfare, they do things like use a weapon that crushes a blade.

Nonetheless, I'm currently using a normal weapon at the end of Ray's gaze for a mock fight... simply because that would make me more nervous.

In fact, the lack of tension means that there are quite a few who do not use weapons for mock warfare.

Still, it's not that much of a problem, I guess, because joining this expedition means you're the right person in the settlement.

That is why Vihera, who is entrusted with the training of the Centaurs and others, says nothing when she sees it.

If this was someone who lacked skill as a warrior or was a newcomer who had just become a warrior, no doubt Vihera would not admit to mock warfare using real weapons either.

If such people are going to use real weapons for mock warfare or something, that's when Vihella's fist will be wielded immediately... and if there is so much blood left, they will extend mock warfare with Vihela.

If you are the owner of a particular hobby, you may also be happy with such a mock fight with Vihera...... if you normally think about it, you are not very much but don't want to do that.

Because that's not enough strength, and above all, you're going to feel the fear of death even this.

"Let's get this over with. We'll see how it goes."

Having said that, he dropped off Vihera, who himself tries to mix with his morning training, and Ray gets ready for the morning with Seto.

"Good luck with that. Yikes!

Hearing voices from Centaur, Ray flies out of the settlement with Seto to yesterday's place.

"Seto, after all, Dragonias didn't come last night, did he?

"Gru!"

That's right! and Seto throbbing at Ray's words.

Ray is relieved once again that he won't have to think about the fact that Dragonias was in the woods last night than Seto is confidently saying.

(When that happens, I figured you were so relieved yesterday because I crushed bases and moving groups and stuff? No, but...... hmm, maybe we should crush other bases that would be around the woods to make the woods safer first)

I think so, but I also think that finding the home of Dragonias would be a priority over ensuring forest safety.

For example, how should I move?

While I'm lost...... eventually, I'll conclude that I'll be fine for now because I've left Vihera in the forest settlement.

Ray then flies with Seto in search of the home of Dragonias with Seto.

... The problem is...

"Hey, Seto. You found a spotted dragonias yesterday... where is it?

"Gru?"

To Ray's words, Seto rings his throat in a bewildered manner.

Yesterday I flew around various places, thereby eventually encountering a swarm of spotted dragonias.

But I jumped around a lot, so I can't remember where the place was yesterday.

We eventually went straight back from where we defeated the spotted dragonias to the woods, but it was already evening then.

In the morning and evening, even in the same place, it doesn't look very much the same.

Also, I guess it's because Ray and Seto, who are directional tone-deaf, turned out to be lost to where they were going.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do for as long as I can... The final conclusion I made is that I should give up yesterday's location and look for another base or a moving dragonias, rather than knowing if I can go back to yesterday's location even if I keep looking.

You can tell me you gave up.

It was at least a salvation for the combine named Ray and Seto that he understood it.

"Well, let's just look somewhere else...... which way do you want to go?

Choosing where to look doesn't mean you have some kind of metric.

That could have been an understandable landmark, like the forest that Ray and the others are currently using as a camp.

"Grrrrrrrrrr? Grrrrrrrrrrrr......"

Nevertheless, Seto, who was entrusted with where he was going, does not immediately have a choice as to where he was going.

I wonder which way I'm going...... eventually, I start flying in one direction.

I didn't go that way for any particular reason.

However, that's what I thought it would be like.

Ray also doesn't leak any more dissatisfaction with how Ceto looks than he was lost where he should have been.

Keep going straight...... eventually find something running on the ground.

Is that Dragonias again? And Ray thought... no.

No, it was true there were Dragonias, to be exact, but those Dragonias were after two deer.

And you're on a deer...

"Anastasia!? And Fana!

Yes, that's the two people Ray came to this world looking for, Anastasia and Fana.

Those two were attacked by the dragonias behind them as they rode into a presence that, given its size, clearly did not seem like a normal deer.

"Gru!"

It was Ray, who stopped moving for a moment to unfold too unexpectedly, but it also immediately returns to me with Seto's voice.

"Right. Do we need to help the Anastasias for now?... Seto, go that way"

With that said, Ray takes the spear of dusk out of the mistering.

Even while we are doing so, the difference between the deer that put the two on board and the dragonias narrows.

At purely running speeds, deer would probably be faster than dragonias.

But... the two deer have the weight of Anastasia and Fana on their backs.

... if you hear the expression weightiness, you two will get mad though.

Of course, it's not like the two heavy guys are just silently riding deer.

Anastasia, the Spirit Wizard, casts a spell while fleeing... the magic is unleashed.

Then a few of the dragonias who were chasing the two accidentally fall in the lead.

Naturally, if the dragonias that go right ahead of themselves turn, the dragonias just behind them get caught up in it too.

In order to satisfy the hunger, he was going straight after his two deer, Anastasia and Fana, so he turned to such a group of dragonias that it was inevitable... a spear of dusk released from the air pierced him as if he were a meteor.
