Legend

"... it feels like you're back."

That was the first voice out of Anastasia's mouth as she went through Grimm's prepared place and returned to Elgin.

This space in the basement of the Trento Forest, the presence of Whisp, was definitely quite a familiar place for Anastasia as well.

Anastasia, who returns in that way, approaches Whisp as if she had forgotten about the other world.

Looking at such anastasia, Ray shrugs away from the other faces, traveling all the way to the interior of the wall and then small.

"Grimm, are you there?

"I'm here. Apparently, he's back safely, above all. It seems to have served its purpose. '

I can hear that, but there's no way I can hear Grimm other than Ray.

I guess it's also Grimm who can do this.

You don't show up directly, do you mean you care about the Anastasia and the others as a grimm?

If you make it a grimm, Anastasia and Fana are the ones you've known for a long time.

... The Whisp thing, too, was that when the Anastasias got out of this underground space at night, they were as interested as they were in finding out for themselves, so naturally they knew about the Anastasias.

While I was there, I kept my presence from being felt by Anastasia in any way, so Ray can also understand the awesomeness of its abilities.

Looks like he's back safe. Above all.

The words of Grimm, which say so, are not very much directed against those to whom the undead live.

In one way or another, that's something like a grandfather who speaks to his grandchildren.

For Grimm, the presence of Ray is special in many ways.

... Nevertheless, if Grimm were a normal undead, there would have been no such thing as friendly treatment so far against the living Ray.

This is only possible because Grimm is a special undead.

"Oh, I managed to solve the Anastasia and the others.... So, I just want to ask you, it's Grimm's power to connect this world with the other one now, right?

"Umm."

It was Grimm giving that back to Ray's words, but I'm sure it wasn't Ray's fault that he sounded like he was good at it somewhere.

"When that happens, after all, we can't maintain this connection between different worlds without Grimm?

"Will it?"

"... So, what's Grimm going to do with the other world? Actually, I'd still like to go to the other world."

"Hmmm.... I can do it if I want, but it's not a very happy event as a non"

"Really? Aren't Grimm interested in the rest of the world, too?

Yes, when Ray asks, Grimm stays silent about it.

In fact, as Ray would say, it would also be of interest to Grimm for the rest of the world.

A presence called Centaur or Dragonias. And most importantly, in the end, Ray moved around the other world only in the meadows.

According to a story I heard from Centaur, there are creatures outside the meadows as well… who have the corresponding civilization and do things like make a country.

As for Ray, I wanted to go there if I could.

Only in the other world, there could be unknown magic items for Ray as well... and above all, I have learned of the existence of the Queen of Dragonias.

Of course, from Ray's point of view, the Queen of Dragonias is clearly an anomaly, and that's what we seem to be dealing with from different worlds, just like ourselves.

But still, the fact that Dragonias appeared in that world doesn't necessarily mean that there's no other being.

And there was an opponent who came from another place besides the Queen of Dragonias, and if we defeated that opponent... there was also a good chance that the level of terrain manipulation would increase.

Given the possibility that there are other technologies unknown to Ray, it would be more impossible not to be interested in the world where the Centaurs were.

'Hmm, that means... you want me to keep this connection intact?

"Oh. If you're interested in the other world, it's not a bad story for Grimm either, is it? Besides... I'm not asking Grimm to keep this connection. Grimm can make a magic item that allows us to keep this world connected to the other?

'... I see. A magic item that fixes different worlds. Actually, Noon thought about it a little bit. "

I knew it.

I have that thought in Ray.

If you're as good as Grimm, it's not surprising that you don't have to maintain a connection between worlds on your own, or think about doing it in some other way, and the first thing you can think of is still a magic item.

"So? When you do, did you do it?

'That's not a hard place. I was able to do what I was able to do, but the effect is very unstable. It's not strange in some cases when the world is disconnected, and if the connection is broken, it's almost impossible to connect with the other world again. "

"That's... again, that's troublesome..."

I don't know when it will become unstable and if it does, Grimm needs to take care of it immediately.

Not to mention that if the world is disconnected, this world can't be connected to the other world anymore.

As much as using such a volatile magic item, it would be much safer for Grimm himself to have maintained the connection between the two worlds.

"Can't you manage that instability?

'Right.... There are a lot of difficult theories, but if we were to tell Ray so that he could understand, we would need something to do with each other to connect this world with the other. The magic items prepared by Noh are not enough material for this world. "

"Materials from the other world? Is that... is that okay with anything?

'Of course, it doesn't mean anything. Corresponding...... right. There is something to be called even the character of being. We need materials.'

Material.

That's what they say, and Ray remembers the material in his mysteries.

A wide variety of Dragonias bodies.... overwhelmingly are still red scaled dragonias that could not even be killed by the flaming magic used by Ray, but other scaled dragonias of color are also housed in those numbers, mysteries.

(No, but... wasn't Dragonias' body useless the next day?

That's arguably the hardest part.

Ray also wonders if Dragonias came from a different world from himself, and when asked if he could make a magic item that would anchor the other worlds with material stripped from their bodies, he has to lean his neck.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind asking more than that is possible.

He decides so and turns to Grimm - although he doesn't look raw and hateful - asks.

"With Dragonias' body, what happens?

'That's... unusable, isn't it?

"Of course, it's true that normally there's no use for it. If it's the next day, it'll be useless.... but that's just a regular alchemist or something. If Grimm gave you the body, you could use it as a material right away.

'Sweet. You might be able to use it as a material at that point, but what do you think would happen if you used it for a magic item and couldn't use Dragonias material later? That's more dangerous than using magic items normally.'

I guess Grimm thought of something Ray thought of, too, naturally.

But Grimm didn't try to do what Ray said because he knew the characteristics of Dragonias' body.

But Ray turns his gaze toward such a grime toward a hole connected to the other side of the world.

"Right. Dragonias' body will be useless the next day in this world. But... how about in the other world? Then you can use Dragonias' body normally, too?

Even less, Ray hasn't heard stories about Centaur to Dragonias' body becoming useless the next day...

(The forest that was around the settlement where the eggs of the Spirit were buried... well, that's special in many ways)

Dragonias, killed in that forest, had vanished the next day.

Given that, I guess that's why Dragonias wasn't like this, only because it's where the Spirit's eggs were buried.

"In the other world?... I see. Nong can't leave much more than to keep the world connected. So, does that mean that, conversely, we can leave somewhat? Interesting '

For Grimm, I guess Ray's words were unexpected.

Most of all, that's not an opinion without a thump, but if you ask me… and it was a surprise in Columbus' egg sense, which I come up with in a change of mind.

"You think you can do that?

'Hmm, let's try it. How much room do you have for Dragonias' body?

If the number of corpses is low, it must also be done with caution in order to carry out various experiments.

Cautiously means, naturally speaking, that the experiment will also go slowly, and I'm not happy for Ray in that sense.

Ray, who decided so, nodded that there was no problem.

"If it's just a corpse, there's a good amount. And not just normal dragonias, but intelligent... in this world, some of the bodies of dragonias should be called superior species."

"Ugh."

To the word superior species, Grimm raises an interesting voice.

In fact, if you're going to make a magic item that says it connects the two worlds, you'd definitely prefer a magic item that uses materials from the top species that would perform better.

"Though, naturally, not so many bodies of the superior species"

... There's something backward about Ray telling me that.

Naturally. Pretty much the finest seven-colored scaly Dragonias corpse in the upper species of Dragonias is available, but when it comes to other corpses...... pretty little.

I guess that's why I'm holding back for not being able to give Grimm a large number of upper species of corpses in this one case.

Other than that, the body of the Queen of Dragonias is what burns her to ashes, and there's really nothing left.

To be precise, only the nucleus that increased the level of topographical manipulation remained, but neither does its nucleus now.

If it meant making magic items that would connect the other world to this one, then that would have been the best result if it had been for the Queen's material... there is no such thing in Ray's mysteries.

"If it's true, it would have been nice to have had the Queen's body of the highest species among Dragonias... bad"

'I don't mind. I don't think Ray would so easily miss being the material for a magic item. That means we had to do that, right?

"Oh. He's got a powerful regenerative ability. There was no point in attacking them normally, so it was necessary to burn them thoroughly until they could no longer be regenerated."

Use the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, and that's what runs out of magic just to deplete even Ray, who has enormous magic... no, magic isn't enough, he's the one who used even his vitality to finally defeat him.

It's not that I'm strong, but I guess.

Such a very troublesome opponent for Ray was the Queen of Dragonias.

'Right.... Whatever, I got the story. I'll think about the magic item for now, so you should leave Dragonias' body for one. Yeah, first of all, it doesn't matter if you're a regular dragonias, not a superior species. Because we need to leave the body in the other world and see if it can be used as a real material. '

Ray nods at the words of such a grim...... and removes one red scaled dragonias corpse from the mistering so that it doesn't look like any other face.

Then the body disappeared somewhere not immediately visible from Ray.

Ray didn't know what the hell was going on, but I could easily imagine Grimm still doing something.

Then it's time for us to go.

"Uhm. Let's try our best to use Dragonias' body to make magic items"

Nodding at Grimm's words telling him so, Ray leaves the underground space with a voice in Anastasia and other faces observing Whisp.

... Fana cared about questions such as what to do about Seto, but for now, when I manage the area thanks to my master, I get out on the ground with a somewhat impossible delusion...

"Huh?"

The moment I got out of the ground, I saw Ray's eyes in a man-shaped creature the size of a palm, and a feathered creature... and when I saw the fairy fly away, words like that leaked out of Ray's mouth.
