Ray, who is done talking to Grimm, looks around in the underground space, breaking up with Grimm about making magic items.
It was just a precaution to think that I could move around appropriately and not be made aware of the Grimm affair.
Nevertheless, even such behavior is not a bad story to look around in the underground space.
I ended up back in this world yesterday and headed right to the ground, so I couldn't do anything like take a good look around this underground space.
(Well, it's about Anastasia, so naturally if I came to this underground space today, I'd have looked around to see if there was anything different than before)
Just curious Anastasia, what is the situation with this underground space right now... is that anything that has changed while we were gone?
I was bound to imitate the neighborhood by looking into it in an intriguing way.
That's why even if Ray looks around here now, there's not going to be anything in particular he can find.
... but it was Ray's decision that we should still make sure if we think about the current situation.
Or it's true that there was such slight hope that I might be able to find something Anastasia couldn't find...
"Too bad"
Ray looked around the underground space all the way, but he couldn't find anything like it as a result.
Nevertheless, I tell myself that I can find it only because maybe......
"So? Did you even find something interesting?
That's what Anastasia asks as soon as Ray returns to where everyone is.
Behavior after that I guessed that Ray couldn't find anything.
... but even though I couldn't actually find anything to say back to it, it's just a waste.
In fact, Grimm gave me some information about the fairy... but I can't even say that here.
"No, I couldn't find anything like that in particular. I just haven't walked around in a long time so that was kinda funny"
"Really? You have a strange hobby."
"... I just don't want you to say it"
"Both of you, keep it around there. I guess Anastasia is busy with research, and Ray will have a lot more to do."
Elaine enters between them and the exchange between Ray and Anastasia ends.
"Right. I looked around in this underground space for now, and it's time to get back to the ground."
This time Ray came to this underground space to ask Grimm what was going on with Dragonias' body.
I don't need to be here forever more than I have done that errand.
Also, like Elaine said, Ray has a lot more to do.
More than that, I couldn't be in this underground space forever.
"Is that good? It's in the form of a date for me."
"Mm-hmm. I heard a lot of interesting stories from you two. Other than what Ray told me about the other world."
That said, Elaine's gaze is directed at a space connected to another world.
Anastasia and Fana both acted together until they joined Ray in the other world.
I guess you heard that about what happened then.
Ray is quite interesting around here, too.
At any rate, the centaurs of one settlement were thankful to the Anastasians, for it was as if they were worshipping even God.
It would be natural to be interested in what other actions you were taking.
... I didn't mean to ask directly in the current situation because I probably wouldn't be able to get a firm answer.
(Besides, you can ask Elaine later)
Judging so, Ray decides to return to the ground.
"Well, it's time for me to go... but what's Anastasia gonna do tonight? Are you going toward the birthday tower or to the wheat pavilion at dusk? I don't mind using the wheat pavilion at dusk because I don't plan to stay for a while either."
"No, I'm going to the birthday tower. There's a lot of interesting things about lake creatures."
"Right. Well, come on."
Normally, you'd want to sleep on the bed when you go to bed.
However, if the other person was Anastasia, I could convince Ray to choose between a comfortable sleep and satisfying curiosity.
... I didn't even think the fana that goes with it was somewhat pathetic.
Still, I'm pretty sure Anastasia is a respectable opponent for Fana... no, or I didn't know she simply thought she couldn't abandon Anastasia, but she doesn't look dissatisfied with things like sleeping in a tent around the birthday tower, not the inn either.
"I'll tell you what, don't make a weird imitation because we're not here.... because the lake creatures haven't figured it all out yet, and some of them might have strange poisons. Given the circumstances around here, you shouldn't give me weird little bites."
It was Ray who would tell him that in one way or another, but in the case of Anastasia, it is easy to predict that Ray would not listen to him first if he said such a thing.
The problem was that Anastasia's odd imitation... could lead to some major anomaly again.
Normally, I don't need to think about it that much, but somehow I have a different world.
(I'm probably in trouble personality too...... no, traits? I thought you had, but Anastasia don't go over me like that)
Woman victorious over deep red.
I thought I'd call you that, Ray, but when I say that, I feel like it's going to be another strange commotion.
"What, don't worry, I'm taking care not to do that. If that happens... I'll take good care of it."
"... that doesn't mean we're gonna act to satisfy your curiosity, does it?
At first sight, I tell you so.
If I were you, I wouldn't have to ask that much.
However, in the case of Anastasia, it was somewhat predictable that it would taste bad later if the area was not kept in place.
"Of course not."
Anastasia stuck in words by Ray's words.
Seeing how it was, it was obvious without having to think about what I was thinking.
Ray wanted to get into that, but I feel like if he gets into it strangely here, it's just gonna be a long story, and he decides to walk away from the spot without saying anything more.
"Then it's time for us to go. Elaine, Ara, let's go."
"Mm-hmm. I don't really have anything to do either. … I would have liked to go to the other world if I could."
That must have been why Elaine decided to come into this underground space.
It was very jealous to Elaine that only Vihella went to the other world.
That's why I would have liked to go to the other world for once if I could... as a dusker in a position to keep Elaine, not very much, but that would be unacceptable.
Anyway, Elaine is what we should call a symbol of the aristocracy.
Many people are dissatisfied with the fact that such a person has recently been in the guilds of neutralism in friendship, itself.
What happens when you can't come back, although it's good that you went to the other world in such a situation.
There is no doubt that the current friendship between aristocrats and neutrals will be broken.
Even now, few aristocrats understand what it means to have a cooperative relationship with the neutrals.
No, I understand that there are benefits to be gained from becoming a friendly relationship with the neutrals to be exact, but there are many who cannot tolerate that in emotional terms.
Neither did Ray think it would be important to give the latter importance in terms of profit and emotion, but if we try to be the ones who have lived so inexorably as aristocrats, we will have the idea that there are neutrals who think they exist below us...
Nevertheless, nobles are not the only ones who hate their opponents.
Naturally some neutrals hate the aristocracy.
Especially the aristocrats...... not many of them are particularly vicious behave as if they were the center of the world.
As a result, many people who are not aristocrats have such perceptions as not human beings, and the death penalty is imposed because they do not like it. Come here because you're a good woman. A lot of people did things like that in their territory because you're busy with that stuff...
Many neutrals have territories adjacent to such aristocratic nobility.
If you naturally try to be such an aristocratic nobleman, you often hang a little on a neutral nobleman you don't like.
It is only natural that many people do not find it interesting to have friendly relations with the aristocracy with which they have such opponents.
Still, neutralists also have a small number of influences, and many put up with what Dusker decides to do because of the highly charismatic nature of the Dusker leading it.
"If there's anything wrong with Elaine, it's going to develop into a relationship between aristocrats and neutrals.... No, will Ara explode before then"
"I just want to say Lord Ray is right...... if Master Elaine is going to the other world, I will accompany her to that too. I was wondering if it would be more of a problem for me than that."
"... well. Come to think of it, Ara is the head of the Knights of Elaine's escort. I've completely forgotten lately."
"I almost forget sometimes, too.... you don't have to do paperwork or anything while you're in the Guild, so that's why"
It would be a very happy day in my life right now without having to do paperwork, as long as I was at Elaine's side and looked after just Ara, who is never good at the job of that hand originally.
Arla's failure to do paperwork means that someone is doing paperwork instead of Arla... but she enjoys an easy life whether she forgets it or simply doesn't care.
The Rays got off the ground from underground space even though they were slightly confused by how Ara was doing...
"Wow..."
Ray shouts his surprise when he sees the sight widening at the end of his gaze.
The two Elaine and Arla, who were behind Ray, are also surprised by the sight.
Naturally. Because there were many birds gathered around Seto sleeping.
That was how many of them walked around as if they thought it was a cozy place over Seto's body.
Other than that, only Ray noticed that there were two deer a short distance from Seto.
... Yes, two deer, Anastasia and Fana's submissive - not a monster, but a wildlife.
This deer acted with Seto in different worlds as well, but did not quite imitate Seto in a way that would lift his guard against him, whether it also had to do with the fact that he was originally a wildlife.
In fact, when the Rays came here to head into the underground space, it would be easy to see how vigilant the two deer were still because they saw Seto coming.
Nevertheless, we know from a great time together that neither of the two deer are such that Seto would harm us.
Still, I guess I can't lift my guard against Seto because I understand purely that the presence of Seto is more overwhelming than we are.
"Ray, what do we do?
"... even if they say so"
To Elaine's question, Ray wonders what to do with the place.
No, given the current situation, it's up to me how it should be done.
But you naturally think that's okay to chase and scatter birds, deer, and other wildlife like squirrels, mice, and rabbits that are lenient at the tip of your gaze.
Maybe I'm seeing a miracle sight in a way.
That's what Ray thinks.
... Though Seto doesn't realize how Ray is doing like that.
If you notice that your favorite Ray is back from underground space, you don't have the option of not responding to it.
Ning Lo, this time I fell asleep too deep to notice Ray's presence... and I moved my body momentum from the state I was asleep... then what happens?
The birds who were walking over Seto's body panicked and fled, and the animals hurried away from the spot… Naturally, the two deer they should have known were also immediately off the spot.
