Legend

After the battle with Asdena, a few days...... luckily, Asdena's fractures weren't that bad either, the speed of running itself drops considerably, but it was also possible to run normally.

As such, while stopping at several settlements along the way...... Ray arrives at the settlement of Asdena.

"I'm sorry. Thanks for everything."

"Really? Well, if you say so, it'll help."

Ray and Asdena exchange words briefly, as do other faces besides Asdena.

At the end of the word, Zai says thank you at the end of the day… Zai refuses to talk about whether to do it at the feast or not, and he travels as he is.

But from the settlement of Asdena four new men were to be sent as carriers of the Spirit's egg-mounted gods.

Anyway, Zai is the only one who came from Zai's settlement.

Otherwise, only Ray, Vihera, Anastasia, Fana, Seto, and two deer.

When that happens, there will be not enough people to carry the eggs of the Spirit.

... No, it was possible that if I worked hard, I could have done something with the remaining faces, but Asdena decided that I wouldn't have to do it there, and asked the settlement chief to send someone.

Out of all the faces that joined the scout team, some said they would do it, but it was only natural that they wanted to give it a rest as long as they had just finished the big job of crushing Dragonias' home base.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure there was a lot of other things I wanted to hear about in this case.

For that reason, we were provided with personnel to carry the shrine from the settlement of Asdena.

"You've lost a lot of people."

"... right. To be honest, I miss this situation a lot right now"

Did you hear Ray whining, Zai returns the words in a smudged manner.

Many of those who participated in the reconnaissance team were from different settlements.

On the contrary, those who have not spoken but come from another world called Elgin for the Rays.

It was a reconnaissance team that was a gathering of such people, but if we eat the same pot of rice and continue to fight the battlefield together in the battle against Dragonias, a sense of union will naturally arise.

In fact, it may have added an extra sense of union in the fight against a more formidable enemy than Dragonias named Vihera.

Strong enemies you will never win on your own… Fighting such opponents will strengthen your sense of union even if you respond or not.

Ray didn't even know if Vihera was aware of it.

(No, it's about Vihera. Maybe, after figuring it all out, to make the Centaurs survive... hmm, that's a good chance, but more than that, I'm more convinced that I did that kind of imitation to enjoy myself)

I guess it also had the purpose of surviving the Centaurs, but there is more than enough chance that Vihera thought in the way that... or because it would be more fun for me for Centaurs to work together doing more mock warfare than that.

"If I could, I'd like to be there by the end of the day."

Running Zai squeaks,

The settlement of Asdena is not so far from the settlement of Zai.

... somehow, because Ray, who used to fly in the sky aboard Seto, had so much wrong about the settlement of Zai and the settlement of Asdena.

That's because Ray and Seto are subtly directional tone-deaf.

However, as for Ray, I would argue that it is not just because of directional tone deafness.

Anyway, this place is everywhere... that's a vast meadow that I think will last forever.

Some of them can be landmarks like forests, forests, hills and rocks, but without such landmarks, it is difficult to reach the place of destination if you try to make it unfamiliar.

"Right. I wish I could, too. I can afford food and stuff, but I cook.... maybe instead of cooking the ingredients, we just need to keep cooking."

Yes, there is one thing left, and the fact that Zai is the only one from that settlement means that the non-combatants in charge of cooking are naturally already back in their own settlements.

In that sense, we needed to do it ourselves when it came to preparing the camp.

Although the magic tent used by Ray and Vihera didn't have to worry about the area in particular.

"So, how soon are we due to arrive?

"I don't know. Maybe it's okay, but there's a chance the settlement's moving."

Doesn't Ray have that possibility in the words that came out of Zai's mouth? I think.

Somehow, they sent the Zays out.

More than that, it's not strange to wait in the same place until you come back.

In fact, since the defeat of the Queen, there has been no movement of any settlement.

"I don't know. I know you'll wait for me if nothing happens, but I can't deny the possibility of moving if anything happens."

That's why I'm in trouble.

Running down the meadow, Ray returns that to Zai's words.

The place connected with Elgin is not that far from the settlement of Zai.

In other words, Zai's settlement is a landmark replacement.

That's why if Zai's settlement were to be on the move, it could be troublesome.

(Well, I have Vihera, Anastasia and Fana, and I feel like I can handle it)

I'm slightly forced to tell myself that, Ray.

It's about Grimm, so there was also the possibility that Ray would take some sort of reaction from the other side if he was lost, but I'm still glad to have Vihela and the others, given the time that he had to.

"Ray."

I was thinking about when I was going home to Elgin, Ray, but Zai, who accidentally approached me next to Seto, said so.

What the hell is that? It was Ray pointing his gaze at things like that, but seeing Zai have a serious look on his face as he runs, he understands that he hasn't just been speaking out in his spare time or something.

"What's up?

"Thanks to you... and thanks to people like Vihera and Seto, I was able to defeat Dragonias"

I was wondering what to say, and the words that came out of Zai's mouth were unthinkable words for Ray.

Nevertheless, as far as the serious look on Zai's face is concerned, there is no way he can imitate it in a way that would tear it up.

"It was good for us, too. In that sense, we're each other."

At first, the goal was to help find Anastasia and the others and to obtain that information.

But as a result, this case has been of great benefit to Ray.

A number of other intelligent dragonias, as well as the corpses of ordinary dragonias dominated by hunger, including reaching level five of topographical manipulation and dragonias of the seven-colored scales.

The only shame would have been that we couldn't get the Queen's body.

Even though she would not have won otherwise, the Queen's body was burned to ashes by Ray, who activated the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

The corpse, starting with the dragonias of the seven-colored scales, can be expected as a material for magic items.

Beyond that, naturally, if the Queen's body was still there, as some kind of magic item material... it could have been used as a pretty valuable material too.

Nevertheless, it is true that it makes no sense to think any further about what is done.

It was a shame that the Queen's body could not be obtained, but Ray's idea was to have a black deficit by the time it was overwhelming in terms of overall income and expenditure.

Although the food has brought up quite a few of them and the food stored in the mysteries has been considerably reduced, so it was true that I would have to refill the area again when I got back to the guild.

(Well, I don't hate it if it's hassle around there)

Originally, Ray likes the act of eating.

If it's to eat delicious food, even if it's a crusade for high-ranking monsters, you'll be happy to head for it.

Just such a ray, eating and walking around places like shops and stalls, and if you think it's delicious, you can just buy that dish - due to ingredient problems - buy it.

I can do that kind of unscrupulous shopping because Ray has enough money to run out of.

The reward for the request, the bandit hunt, and the money obtained for a variety of other reasons, is the amount that ordinary people can spend the rest of their lives… on the contrary, playing and living even after a few rebirths.

That's the amount of money that only nobles, big merchants, etc. would be able to collect magic items as a hobby at all.

"That would help if you said so.... The Rays have come to this meadow at this hour to guide the wind."

"... wind guide?

To words he has never heard, Ray turns a strange gaze toward Zai.

But Zai, with Ray's gaze pointed at him, opens his eyes with a slight surprise.

"What, you didn't know? The wind blowing into the meadows knows and guides everything. The Rays will only be here with such a meadow guide."

"... I see"

Is that like a kind of religion? And while I think about it, I hide my inner emotions and return just that.

For Ray, religion never has a good image.

I haven't been interested in religion since I was originally in Japan, and I was a typical Japanese who enjoyed things like Christmas and Hatsumomo.

Most of the time, in the news, there were such things as emerging religions having cases, so in that sense, I even had a mild sense of repentance for religion.

In such a situation, it would be great to know that the reason why I had become disgusted with religion by the decisive was because I still touched Holy Light in this world.

(Though...... Centaur's and the others' are still easy to accept because they are not religiously religious)

Because even primitive religion is what we should call it, or Ray doesn't feel so repellent.

"Is the wind...? Well, actually, the wind blowing in the meadows seems to mean something special."

That's what Ray is feeling again now that he's running through this meadow.

Because Zai asked me about the wind, I can't deny that I thought so again...

"Wind, huh.... I agree with Ray."

Vihera, who was behind Ray, tells him so.

For Vihera nowadays, more than Ray is out of the wind, there may be nowhere to think about the wind that much... but still, I guess that's what makes you think of the wind you're feeling as special because you're on Ceto with Ray.

"Right. Do you see the greatness of the wind?... I guess that's why this breeze also led Ray and the others to our place"

"Is that what this is all about?

Ray had some doubts about things like the wind guiding him, but unlike Japan, there is usually a presence in this world called the Spirit.

... No, maybe there was actually something like the Spirit in Japan or something, but as far as Ray knew, such a presence existed only in fiction.

But in this world and in Elgin, the Spirit normally exists.

The greatest evidence of this would be the spiritual magic used by the queens of marinas, anastasias, and dragonias, or the eggs of spirits whose powers have been condensed.

"That's what it is. Wind exists everywhere and knows everything. I want to thank the grassy breeze for bringing Ray and the others to us."

"Right. Then thank me enough. Then the wind will be glad."

If you try it on Ray, I don't really feel it when the wind says thank you.

Still, it was the realization that there was nothing particularly wrong with it because it didn't force faith on me, and I wouldn't do anything like annoy or anything like that.

... Now if Ray also appreciated and worshipped the wind, and told him to serve, he would have immediately answered no to it.

"If Marina asks, what do you think?

Growl small so that Vihera can only hear Ray.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that was interesting for Ray as well.

Because if the Spirit Magic Magic of the Wind is also manipulated by the Spirit Magic of the Marina, its strength was surely a substitute for more than imagined.

(In that sense, I think even Anastasian spiritual magic can interfere with the spirits of the wind to some extent... what about that area?

With such doubts, Ray turns his gaze to the deer who is carrying Anastasia out of the two deer who run a little further away still unfamiliar with Seto.

Did you notice Ray's gaze, what happened to Anastasia? and he turns his gaze, but Ray shakes his neck sideways saying it's nothing to it.

We kept running through the meadows with such an exchange... Eventually, we saw a familiar settlement at the end of Rays' gaze.
