Legend

Ray, Vihera and Centaur men out of the woods soon find Anastasia and Fana.

... the two of them who are trying to calm down that a deer is trying to escape a short distance from Seto.

"Gru......"

Seeing two and two deer like that, Seto is pitifully throbbing... if you are a deer, you still think Seto is scared, not very much but not in a way that you can get close.

"Wow..."

Centaur, who came to take care of the deer, leaks such a voice in such a way as not to think of the sight that was spreading in front of him.

Ray was listening to me lightly.

But still, I guess I never thought I'd be so blatantly scared of Ceto.

Is this really okay?

I was a centaur with that thought, but the option of not working harder here than it is for booze doesn't exist.

"Ah, Ray. It was too late.... It's been a long time since Vihera"

Anastasia finds Ray and speaks out her dissatisfaction and greets Vihera softly.

Next to such anastasia, a masked fana bows her head against Ray and Vihera.

"Sorry about that. I needed a lot of time to explain, and this is the guy who takes care of the deer while Anastasia and Fana go to the settlement. It'll be pretty hard for a deer to get through this forest... so what are we going to do with that deer, you know, think about it later?

"Right.... If you look at the woods, you can see what Ray is trying to say."

Anastasia, who saw the woods and understood that it was impossible for a deer to pass...... but rather difficult, nods at Ray's words.

Fana also agreed with Ray, although there was a slight reluctance to disagree with his words.

I guess that's how Anastasia and Fana understood that we needed to have a lot of discussions with Ray and Vihera about what happened since we came to this world.

Watching the two calm the deer and tell the deer to follow Centaur, Ray calls out to Seto, who looks terrified and sorry for the deer.

"Seto, Seto stay on your way to the settlement first. When you're here, you're going to scare the deer.... because we'll be on our way through the woods soon."

"Gru......"

To Ray's words, Seto rings his throat that he understands.

I would have liked to get along with two deer if I could, Seto, but I guess that's how you understand that in the current situation it really doesn't make any more sense than being scared so far.

... Although the deer might have gotten used to Seto's presence if we had some more time together.

That's how Seto flies to the settlement... probably because Seto is gone, which was the biggest threat.

As far as Ray could tell at a glance, the two deer were looking calm.

(This is... Seto's presence was so stressful. Honestly, I know Seto is pathetic, but I can't help this, if I had more time... I guess that's what I'd get used to eventually being natural and Seto if I put him in a stables or something with him. I don't have that stables.)

While thinking that way, Ray switches his mood and opens his mouth.

"Anastasia, Fana, then it's time to go"

Ray speaks to Anastasia, who was talking to Vihera pleasantly, and Fana, who was watching her like that.

We both snort at Ray's words like that.

Anyway, Fana, if you try to be a curious anastasia, I guess this forest is a good enough place to show that curiosity.

You say you're going to the center of that forest, so Anastasia never answered no to it.

... The only thing I was worried about was the two deer that brought us this far, but the deer is also settled by the fact that Centaur, brought by Ray, will take care of them.

"... and yet, why are you so motivated?

I just take care of the deer, but from what Anastasia saw, that's what even gave me that look, like a generation of great battles.

By contrast, it would be natural to question it.

"To be honest, I didn't think the booze would work this far"

"Liquor?"

Anastasia asks that to Ray's words whining as he walks through the woods.

I wonder why alcohol comes out here, but I had no idea.

To such anastasia, Ray explains the circumstances.

... Anastasia and Fana, who heard about it, looked somewhere frightened.

Was it stunned by Centaur's passion for alcohol, or by his hangover in this place, which should be called the Enemy Land?

"So... it seems like it took a long time for the Rays to get here. What the hell were you doing?

He was an anastasia who also had an interesting gaze at the trees around him, but before that, he asks me if I thought I should keep some exchange of information.

"Uh, I guess. I didn't know either, but there's a time difference between this world and our world. You know what a dam run is?

"Damrun? Yeah, we met in the settlement of Centaur."

"Seems so. I'm a little curious about what happened there... whatever that is. Considering the time we've been in this world, there's about fifty days of jet lag. It's only roughly, I don't know exactly."

"Hey, that's not hard"

Heard of the fiftieth jet lag, Anastasia also shows a rush.

But Ray tries to calm it down... and wonders how to explain it.

(No way, I'm not talking about Grimm)

I mean Anastasia, who is particularly curious.

If you find out about Grimm, you won't even have to think about what the hell kind of commotion it's going to cause.

If so, what will Grimm do to Anastasia...... neither here nor there is any need to think about it.

I am close to Ray as the one who has taken over the will and power of the venerable Zeppyre, and that's what I even feel like as a grandson.... undead though.

Also, the response to Elaine and the others on Ray's side is not as friendly as Ray's because she is close to Ray.

But... what happens if that's Anastasia, even if he knows Ray, who's not that close to him?

That was something Ray wouldn't want to know if he could too.

Not sure what to do, Ray ends up hiding about Grimm and mouthing his usual cover story.

"My master used magic to anchor the space between this world and the other, so don't worry about it for now."

"Master?"

"Oh. He's the master who raised me. The world doesn't know magic as magic, but when it comes to magic technology, it's first-rate."

To the words Anastasia stops her foot walking in the woods and turns her gaze sharply towards Ray.

Anastasia must have been surprised because she knows how much Ray's skill as a wizard is.

"It... is it true?

"Oh."

To Ray, who answers that to Anastasia, Vihera turns a slightly dazed caged gaze.

I guess it's because I know the existence of a Grimm that makes it look like that.

Though, as Ray, I had no other choice than to teach Anastasia about Grimm.

(In the meantime, you can assume Anastasia doesn't know about Grimm)

I'm relieved by that.

That's what I've been thinking since Whisp had the chance for Anastasia and Grimm to make contact between the time Ray went to Trent's forest underground space.

Grimm told me not to worry.

But still, just in case, I wanted to make sure, so I asked.

"For that reason, don't worry, there's no more time difference. I might go back over there once.... Master Dusker was worried about Anastasia."

"Haha.... after all?

Anastasia also understands that her actions were frivolous.

But still, I can't imitate the curiosity that's inside me, and as a result, I'm joining Ray like this now.

You wouldn't know if that's good or bad, unless that's who you are, and from Ray's point of view, Anastasia didn't seem to regret jumping into a hole born between the world and the world.

I guess I really couldn't bear the curiosity that's inside me.

"Master Dusker, you know Anastasia's character, too, so he seemed to think he couldn't help it. Once you're done with Dragonias, go back to the guild and show Dasker your face."

Around not telling you to do that now would be Ray's mercy.

... Though Ray had no intention of going back to his world without cleaning up on Dragonias again.

"Right. Let me do that. It will be after this case is over."

Anastasia, too, if Ray tells me she's worried about Dusker, there's something about it, naturally.

Anyway, Anastasia and Dusker have been dating for a long time.

That's why Anastasia and Dusker have obviously been dating longer than Ray and Dusker.

"So... oh, no. In the meantime, we'll find out more about this settlement. For starters, you'd better get rid of this one. It's troublesome not knowing what's going on."

There were a lot of things I really wanted to talk to you about, but Ray, who saw it was time to go through the woods and arrive at the settlement, tells me that with some regret.

Anastasia also wanted to hear a lot about one thing the Rays have been experiencing.

But...... such an anastasian shame, too, that was until we arrived in the settlement.

"This is... it's rare that the Spirit is so thick..."

"... spirits, thick?

Vihera, who was listening, speaks to Anastasia, who sees or says no to the settlement.

I can tell by the expression that there are many spirits, but even if the expression that the spirits are thick is Vihera, who has quite a few relationships with the marina... and Ray is also the first person I've heard of.

Ray has likewise never heard the expression that the Spirit is thick.

"Yeah. The dirt spirits are pretty thick. This... as often as this settlement has ever been safe."

"Not so much.... Leaving Dragonias' body outside this forest is weathered the next day, does that have anything to do with the earth spirits?

"Probably so. Maybe they're sucking nutrients out of the place they're touching. I think it's also because of the discomfort with the trees that were growing in the woods"

Ray has no idea what Anastasia is talking about.

I don't know, but I could still have predicted that the secret of this settlement... and the fact that Dragonias was after it had something to do with it.

"No way, I didn't think you could tell this clearly. In other words... it seems that mining operations have been largely wasted..."

"Oh, maybe it wasn't for nothing, huh? Maybe Anastasia was able to detect anomalies in the earth's spirits by doing mining work."

"Right. Let's just do that. After that... give us a little more booze and we'll figure it out."

Vihera smiles at Ray trying to delude herself with alcohol...

"Lord Anastasia! Lord Fana."

With such a voice comes Damran and some Centaur.

In Centaur from the same settlement as Damran...... I guess that means those who owe it to Anastasia.

"Oh... it's been a while. How have you been?

Unlike the dam runs who are expressing their gratitude and gratitude all over their faces, Anastasia doesn't have that much strong emotion.

Though, I guess it wasn't like he thought the dam runs were in the way.

"Yes. Thanks to Lord Anastasia, the settlement has also taken off the crisis.... He said we might head to Dragonias' home base, but I didn't know we'd really see each other here..."

"I'm not sure where you're going... but I'm glad you're here. Thanks to you, I was able to find strange places like here."

Strange place? And to the dam run with the look of doubt, Anastasia said it was about this place, and so she glanced.
