Legend

From the mouths of the Centaurs, who first saw the deer, a voice of surprise rises.

I guess that's all the deer horns were big and shocking.

It should be noted that, naturally, Ray and Seto had arrived before the deer came into the settlement, waiting far from where the deer came in.

There was no other way for a deer to do that than to be scared of Seto.

... As usual, Seto seemed sorry to be scared of deer, but given the current situation, you understand that it doesn't make sense to force yourself to try to get close to a deer, or you are very distant.

Ray watched Fana rush toward the deer as she stroked such a ceto.

Note, another person close to the deer...... Anastasia was completely asleep with a cloth currently laid on the ground.

If you try anastasia, it would be an act of trying to restore at least a little of the physical, mental, and magical power drained by just doing the act of digging the eggs of the Spirit out of the ground... and all sorts of other things.

Deer rubbing her head against herself with joy...... watching Fana stroking her head while taking care not to hit that corner, is Anastasia really okay as Ray? And I think it stings.

I need you to wake up Anastasia in a little while and use the power of the Spirit's eggs to find out where Dragonias' home is.

Even so, in the current situation of Anastasia, I don't think we can do that, although not very much.

(The potion... no, it's not like I'm hurt, so it doesn't make sense to use the potion?

Some expensive potions have the effect of stabilizing the spirit.

If I use that, or... and I didn't think so, I actually wonder if that really works.

That's why I was wondering if it would be better for Anastasia to let her sleep like this rather than using the potion kind poorly.

"Thank you"

It was Ray watching the sleeping Anastasia, but I can hear that unexpectedly.

Looking at you, there is the figure of Fana stroking the deer until earlier.

The fana was lowering her head toward Ray.

If you try it as a fana, all Ray has to say is thank you for all you've done for the deer.

Worst case scenario, I saved the place where the deer might have been eaten and killed by Dragonius.

Or even if the deer were outside the woods, if they knew Dragonias had arrived, they could have escaped and not come back as they were.

Given the circumstances around it, Ray still only has a word of appreciation.

"Never mind. With this deer, you'll be able to help when you travel."

That's what I told Ray, but if there's really no way to get around it, that's the way the three of us rode on Seto's back like we did when we were in Elgin... in some cases, there was a way to get him on Centaur.

But if the deer would give me a ride, there was no mistake that I'd never crossed it.

"Still, thank you. It's because of Ray that these kids came back to me safely."

That's what I say, Fana bowing her head again.

From the way it looks, I can see that you really adore the deer.

(Though, taking this deer to the gilm... no, I don't know about taking it to Elgin... Given the matter of Dragonias' body, there seems to be a lot of problems between Elgin and the world over here)

The only thing that makes a corpse useless the next day is Dragonias, otherwise creatures can live without problems... or if they can live without any problems if they're not corpses, they can imitate taking deer to Elgin.

Even so, Ray decides for now that he shouldn't touch the matter, and nods toward Fana.

"Those deer fled from the front of the woods because Dragonias attacked them, but eventually they judged for themselves and came back to the woods. With that in mind, you don't even have to think about how much Anastasia and Fana are admired."

"... for once, I was taking care of you..."

In Ray's ear, I hear Centaur taking care of the deer.

Though, the voice was more than just grunting in his mouth, what I would have heard would have been about Ray and Seto.

(Do you want to get a little excited?)

In fact, as far as Ray was concerned, he was going to reward that Centaur for his hard work, more than there was one side to it that the deer came back solid thanks to that Centaur.

The dragonias that attacked me were quite a few, and when I found out about it, even as a centaur, I wouldn't have felt alive.

With that in mind, I'm pretty sure he's still one of these special medals.

... Although, as far as Ray is concerned, I honestly would have liked him to have sent information to the settlement by some means when he escaped.

"So, what's going on with Anastasia? From what I've seen, you seem to be sleeping well."

"Pea......"

One deer, listening to Ray, walks out toward Anastasia.

Did you understand the name Anastasia, or did you simply look around and find yourself sleeping Anastasia?

That was not even known to Ray, but any one deer travels to Anastasia's side and sits on the spot.

It was a problem if we were to wake up Anastasia, but if we don't get in the way of sleeping, we're not going to do anything about deer in particular, even as Ray.

"Apparently, you're sleeping well."

"Yes.... but you can't imitate to keep Master Anastasia asleep forever, can you?

Fana telling that in a serious atmosphere.

Since he is wearing a mask, he cannot confirm the look on Fana's face.

But given the current situation, it's obvious Fana thinks about Anastasia.

Ray knew that too, but that's why he can't imitate keeping Anastasia asleep until she wakes up naturally like this.

We need to do something about that spirited egg.

Eggs of the Spirit, placed a short distance from Anastasia.

Even the ability to perceive magic or the lay unable to see the Spirit can feel some power from the presence of its black circular sphere.

... In fact, it seems Ray isn't the only one who feels that way, and the Centaurs were trying not to get too close to the Spirit's eggs either.

The only exception to that is the Dolphina.

Initially I was afraid of the power emanating from the Spirit's eggs, but when I find out that the Spirit's eggs don't particularly imitate them to take any action, I observe them with interest.

Still, I didn't actually imitate what would happen if I stimulated the eggs of the Spirit, but I kept them for observation only.

"Zai, do you have a minute?

"What's up?

Deciding this would be fine for now about the deer, Ray speaks up to Zai thinking about what needs to be done next.

Zai naturally understood that he could call himself, and he approached Ray with no particular surprise.

I guess I was able to get some rest while Ray was heading outside the woods. Zai had his weapon in his hand so that he could deal with it whenever the enemy attacked him, and he was not alarmed to see what was going on around him.

"As soon as Anastasia wakes up, we'll move on to action. While you're at it, fold up a tent or something and I'll make it easier to store it."

"Okay.... To be honest, I didn't think I was serious about putting a piece on it today."

"Of course I mean it."

If you try to ray, there is a good chance that Dragonias will come as if the Spirit's eggs were frenzied in a mined relationship. That's why I want to clean it up by the end of the day.

... Other than that, it's been a long time since I've come to this world.

It was also true that there was a desire to let you know that as soon as possible, beyond finding Anastasia and Fana, given the matter of Gilm's construction additions.

"Right, okay. Then I'll let you get ready."

Did you convince Ray's words, or did you decide that Ray wouldn't change his mind if you said it any more, which Ray wasn't even sure he was talking to Zay, but either way, when Zay walks away from Ray's front, he calls the Centaurs and tells them that he's going to get rid of this settlement he was using as a camp.

Some of them... especially those who were doing mining work didn't seem to be amused by the sudden words of Zai, but it's also true that Ray has to follow suit in the end than he says he does.

Anyway, the food stuff is basically stored in Ray's mysteries.

... but more than that, I guess the Centaurs honestly followed Zai's instructions here if they didn't get the liquor they were supposed to get a corner...

That's how I get busy cleaning up the tools I used for my tents and mining work, and then I pick something that I can use with what was left of this settlement.

It wasn't strange for the survivors of the settlement to complain about something, but I'm sure the survivors also understand that there's no reason to stay here more than the settlement has already been devastated.

And naturally, if we say where we're going, that's the only way to go with the Rays.

It was only natural to think that that would make our treatment a little better.

Also, if you leave something here more than never coming back here again, that's just going to be useless sooner or later.

If so, it was natural that you should give it to the person who would use it beneficially.

Beyond that, we actively begin to help increase our value at all.

"So, what do we do?

To the words of Vihera, who had come nearby at some point, Ray looks toward the woods.

"You're on guard for now. I don't think you need to worry about Dragonias because he just knocked him out, but maybe he'll come back for an extra."

"Really?... Well, if you're coming, you can come. I just want the Golden Scale Dragonias to come anyway."

For Vihera, the dragonias of silver scales are definitely quite a satisfying combat opponent.

But it would be natural for me to want to fight you anyway than the dragonias of the gold scales are stronger than the dragonias of the silver scales.

"Even if I tell you.... Based on previous experience, the gold scale dragonias seem to be quite small in number. It's just that if you go home, there's a golden scale dragonias... no, there could be more powerful individuals in some cases."

In fact, Dragonias' best friend would be at least as good as being the home of the enemy.

And when I had my best balls, there was supposed to be some escorts.

If he was to be the guardian of the balls, he would naturally have been served by an extremely powerful individual among the dragonias.

(No, I mean, my best balls... maybe a queen or something is more accurate)

From what Ray has seen, the habits of Dragonias feel similar to those of ants and bees.

Beyond that, it seemed likely that a being at the apex of Dragonias would be something like a queen ant or queen bee… even a being to be called Queen Dragonias.

Of course, that's Ray's prediction, not that there's any evidence.

Maybe there was also a good chance that Ray's completely different presence would be based as the boss.

"In the end, now we have to wait.... I'd love to do some combat training, but I think we should stop that."

"Well, you should stop it."

Those who were working in mining are all tired of being together.

I've rested a little, so I'm recovering to some extent... but if you want to train here to fight with Vihella, that can be the limit to my health.

Those who were on the lookout would still have some leeway... but there would be no reason for the lookout to conduct combat training.

For once, even though Seto is on guard around him, that doesn't mean the other Centaurs don't have to watch him.

"Already."

Even though I say we should stop mock warfare with those who were watching for themselves, when Ray agrees with that, he looks a little dissatisfied.

With such a grin on Vihera's condition, Ray thought about what was to come.
