Fairies are in quite a few Trent woods.
That's what they said, Dusker, exhales loudly.
There was only one fairy Ray and the others saw.
But if Ray has a lot of fairies, there's no way he doesn't believe the word as a Dusker.
It's the words of Ray, an armed adventurer and one who has actually seen fairies on the Seremouth Plains before.
It wouldn't be strange to have strong credibility in that word.
No, I could even say it's natural as a Ninro adventurer.
"Numerous. How many do you think there are, exactly?
"If I did poorly, I wondered if it wouldn't be strange if I was building a settlement. If this is a normal forest, I wouldn't say that either. It wouldn't be strange if the place was just in the Trento Forest, like that"
"... I see"
Dusker manages to return just that after a few seconds of silence.
In fact, the forest of Trento today has become a special place in many ways.
Originally, the forest of Trento was a meadow, but it became a forest in a short time.
And now Lizardman and Green people are moving from different worlds, and on the contrary, even lakes are moving.
On top of that, it is also connected to the world where Centaur and Dragonias were... the majority of which was caused by Whisp, who is in the underground space, but there is no doubt that the forest of Trento today is a special place in many ways anyway.
If so, there was nothing particularly odd about it, even if the fairies were gathering together to create a settlement because of its special nature.
No, Ningro Ray can even convince me of that.
... It was something that there was no basis other than Ray's reckoning to say even if it was unreasonable reason, but still, Ray somehow seemed to fit his language.
Above all...
"This is a border, isn't it? No matter what happens, no wonder."
If Ray tells me so, I can't help but convince him as a Dusker.
Because a border is a border because something unexpected happens.
Nevertheless, Dusker, having heard of the fairy settlement, holds his head down.
It's not surprising that if it's not Dusker here who's having a stomach ulcer because of stress, when it comes to Gilm's construction work, a presence that's moving one after another into the Trent woods, where it's possible to come and be a fairy settlement.
This is what I can do now because Dusker is tough in many ways.
(At least the salvation is that one of the Anastasians did something about it,)
Smudge and I think so, Dusker.
Somehow, the most damaging thing about Dusker's stomach was that Anastasia and Fana had gone to different worlds.
That solved it, so even if the existence of a fairy or something appeared... I thought so, but I deny it immediately.
The presence of a fairy can damage Dusker's stomach in a different way than one of the Anastasians.
"Anyway, it's about the fairy.... I ask frankly, what do you think the fairy who showed up in the Trent Forest was after?
"No, even if you ask me that... I know very little about fairies, don't I?
Asked by Dusker, Ray, I just have to give it back.
In the first place, Ray only knows about fairies because he previously met them on the Seremus Plains.
It wasn't about talking carefully, or acting together, either, it was just hooked up with Theorem and Elk to the fairy's evil hobby prank.
It was more right to be Ariel free than to have been solved by the head of the fairy who has played a prank on it...
"I know as much as I've seen it because of the Monster Dictionary and all that, but I didn't have much information on it either."
The existence of a fairy plays a prank, but the fact that people actually see its existence... as you can see from what happened in the Trent Forest, it's not like there's never going to be, but it's still unlimited.
That's why Dusker also turned to Ray to ask about the fairy.
"Still, it's also true that only Ray has actually seen fairies among those here"
That word of Dusker, too, is true.
If you were in the Seremouth Plains, where the fairies pranked you, two of them were there, Dasker and Vihera.
"Hmmm...... for now all I can think of right away is that fairies are quite capable or something, but you were childish in character or something like that. Compared to that, the length seemed solid...... human common sense. Only, compared to normal fairies."
That's what Ray tells me, remembering what happened on the Seremus Plains.
That's about all I could think of right away, beyond the fact that it was a short time I actually met the chief.
"Oh, but... it's about as long as I named it, so I guess I'm pretty sure I live in a certain group of fairies, too. Thinking about it, after all, I don't feel so wrong about creating settlements in the Trent Forest."
"I knew it was a settlement.... When fairy abilities are strong, can monsters in the Trent Forest do the same without problems?
"Hmmm...... what do you think? If Trent's Forest is outside the border, I can snort right away."
Monsters found outside the border are basically many weak monsters.
Of course, it's not that it's absolute, but sometimes a high-ranking monster shows up.
Compared to that, a peripheral is a high-ranking monster that could appear anywhere.
Happy or unhappy, Ray hasn't experienced it yet, but I've heard from Marina before that sometimes Rank A monsters accidentally came all the way to Gilm's side...
That's why Ray can't answer Dasker's words in a broad way.
Low rank monsters around...... or maybe a rank C monster would do whatever fairy strength Ray sees.
And if you're also the head of the fairy, you can do something about Rank B or... maybe even Rank A Monster.
Ray doesn't even know how powerful the fairy head is, so this one is only a prediction though.
"Right. But a monster that powerful in the Trent Forest hasn't shown up so far, has it?
"Right.... There could just be some kind of monster out of a lake that's been metastasized or something like that."
Lake monsters are as troublesome for Ray as dragonias.
Somehow I don't have the demon stone, so it's not a tasty opponent for Ray.
... Still, the meat can be eaten, and the ingredients are definitely magic items, weapons, protective equipment, and many other uses, though.
All in all, the most troublesome thing is that it's not clear what kind of monsters are currently in the lake.
Ray burned it...... and I understand the slime is a powerful monster that probably still burns, but what the hell other monsters are there.
If one of those monsters that I don't even know about Ray like that had a monster who thinks of fairies as bait, I'm pretty sure it would be all kinds of unsavory.
It doesn't seem to Ray that fairies also imitate monsters who try to eat and kill themselves to their opponents.
And if a multitude of fairies fought with magic as they please... that could have damaged the forest of Trent and even the perimeter of the Birth Tower where the Lizardmans are currently based.
"I'd just like to give fairies some attention around there if I can...... that sounds a little tricky"
"There's nothing we can do until we know exactly where the fairy is. But... is there anyone else?"
Dusker's gaze is pointed at Ray.
Ray naturally understood what such Dusker's gaze meant.
And that we can't turn this down.
At any rate, only a limited number of people are currently allowed into the Trento Forest.
Not to mention the fairy presence revealed, as a dusker you will need to be more stringent in and out of Trent's Forest than ever before.
In that, who comes into contact with the fairy...... no, finding the fairy before then, that naturally makes Ray the most prominent candidate.
Since I'm acting with Seto, it's huge that I can use Seto's five senses.
Above all, Dusker also had the expectation that if Ray was ever in contact with the fairy twice, he could make contact with the fairy again.
The latter is only completely lucky, but if you try to make it a dusker, it means that you value the existence of a fairy so much.
"If you can, I'd like to take the marina...... is it difficult?
"Right. Quite difficult. Marina's recovery with spiritual magic is a great light of hope for the injured."
The look on Dusker's face is a little subtle.
I've known it since I was a little girl, and that's probably because I even know what I should call Dusker's black history.
But I didn't dismiss Ray's words from that thought, and it's a big deal that he has a very high ability to heal purely by his spiritual magic.
A large number of people are now gathering in this guild for work.
That's how many of them work in the middle of summer.
I make mistakes and get hurt in the middle of work due to the heat, I get irritated by the heat and fight faster and fight... some of them have heat stroke.
In this world, heat stroke is not known.
Still, it is instinctively understandable that it is dangerous to move around without even hydrating in the heat, although most people hydrate.
Still, there are more people out there with heat stroke than there are a lot of people working.
Such people can only give them a rest if they are other than marinas or medicines.
But with the spiritual magic of the marina, I can still return in a dozen minutes, not immediately...
Injured people need to take the time to heal themselves, but many can return to the scene immediately if they are treated using spiritual magic.
So it was Dusker's decision not to remove the spiritual magic marina from the treatment center.
And if Dusker explains it, I can't help but be convinced of that word, even as Ray.
"Really? I thought it would be easier to find a fairy if you had a marina that uses spiritual magic."
"... don't even think about it if you can't find it, but if you can at first, just look for Ray"
As for Dusker, I want Marina to focus on recovery at the treatment center if she can.
At the same time, however, it was necessary to find out about the fairies found in the Trent Forest.
If they tell me I need a marina to find the fairy, I guess I also need the option of having them head that way.
So worried...... I guess I decided to leave it to Ray for now.
"Hmmm...... right. Ok. However, I think we can transport the felled trees, but we can't get involved in the whole city, can we?
"I don't mind. It just carries the trees that I felled in the Trento woods, and as for this one, it's very helpful. That's where I needed the most people, but I couldn't do anything about it."
Make it a dusker and Ray will come into the toughest place right now and fix it.
On top of that, I can only thank Ray for more than asking him to look for the fairy as well.
"Okay. Then that's what I'm talking about. And the gem... can I really get all that's left? I hardly used it in the other world."
"Of course. I would have said so in advance about that. Thanks to you, I could have helped Anastasia. I'll have the flame ore ready as soon as I can."
"Thank you. … oh, and about the other world… maybe the other world and this one will be somewhat more free to come and go"
"... what? Is that true?
Was Ray's words unexpected, Dusker whines with surprise?
It was the realization that if I tried to make it a dusker, it wouldn't be strange to disconnect from the rest of the world at any moment.
So I guess Ray's words were unexpected.
... Anastasia also has her gaze toward Ray, but Ray puts it through.
"It's only maybe. Because I feel like I might be able to handle it with my master."
Dusker nodded deeply at the words.
