"... what?

Dusker makes a loose voice in the meantime by listening to Ray.

Naturally. Because Ray came to work in the morning and all of a sudden he said he wanted to take the fairy to the marina's house.

The fortunate thing about being unhappy would be that Ray was the only one who came to see Dusker today.

Elaine and Arla were there yesterday, and Vihera was there the whole time yesterday.

But Ray's the only one here today.

That's why Dusker was relieved... but that's what came out of it was about the fairy.

"Are you serious?

"That's what I told Marina yesterday. Are you insane after that? I also added,"

"You're the only one who can say that."

To Ray's words, Smudge and Dusker say.

If Dusker told Marina that, it would definitely be a hassle.

That's like being made fun of in Dusker's black history.

If you try to be someone else, that's what Marina does, and you can't easily imitate saying that.

"Really?... Anyway, what do you say? By the way, if Master Dusker says no here, I'm sure the marina will come next."

"That just seems like blackmail, doesn't it?... Marina says. It's not just my fault, is it?

"Yes, I'm sure you'd like to see the fairy, but other than that, he said if you deal with the fairy, you might have a good negotiation."

"... the marina? No, well, if Marina says so, I guess it's true."

Dusker believes Ray's words lightly.

I've known him since he was a little girl, and he's definitely a trustworthy opponent when he knows his black history, but still has to.

Beyond that, I could honestly believe something like that if Marina were to say so.

It would be a response because I've known this neighborhood for years.

"Yes. Honestly, I don't know how Marina deals with fairies."

"Marina."

Marina convinced by that word.

In such a way, Ray reminds me that he is also sometimes convinced by feelings such as' it's Ray '.

"Do you want to take the marina to the Trent Forest first?... It may be difficult because of the clinic."

"I guess. Without as many spiritual magic users as the marina, the clinic becomes more out of hand. But even now, a lot of people make boring mistakes in the summer heat, and some people get annoyed and fight."

Dusker, too, was more than a lord of the Guild. Naturally, he understood the situation of the Guild.

Or maybe from the experience of that time, because I was a knight in the king's capital before I became a lord.

Anyway, many people get hurt now in summer, and those who fall from heat stroke come out.

For such reasons, no imitation was possible to move the marina from the clinic during the day.

Because Marina knew that, too, she probably made a suggestion that she bring fairies to her house instead of going to see them.

"So, what do you do?

"I don't care what they say. You think you can turn me down? No, you can do it if you want to reject it, but it's definitely the best result to follow honestly rather than imitate it like that. But if Nielsen agrees."

"I know. … or fairies, including Nielsen, have the ability to transfer using a circle of fairies, so we can't take them forcibly."

In that sense, it meant that it was somewhat safe for anyone to think about capturing and selling off fairies, etc.

... That's why I didn't mean to make it so easy to lift the fairy information ban.

"I guess.... Whatever, I found out about the fairy. Are you picking up Nielsen by yourself today?

"You will. Elaine also said she's meeting someone she wants to see today. I'm sorry to hear that."

Elaine wanted to do some fairy hunting for a few more days, if that's true.

That's exactly the name I wanted to go on a date with Ray in the Trent Forest.... Even on a date, Ara was with me.

As for Ara, I was just thinking that a day or two would cause a lot of trouble if it were more than that, and finding a fairy as of yesterday seemed like a pleasure, a shame...... it felt so subtle.

"Lord Elaine? While Ray was in the other world, he seemed busy."

I trusted Dusker that he wouldn't do anything strange about Elaine, but nevertheless needed to gather some information beyond being in the position of Lordship of Gilm.

I was wondering if anyone thought something strange about Elaine, not something strange about Elaine.

Given the current situation, it's hard to think of anyone who would do that.

But... just because it's hard to think, Dusker doesn't have the option of not being alert.

For that reason, information such as who Elaine met with was a dusker that came in, but even from such a dusker, Elaine had quite a busy day.

That's why I didn't know what it was like to want to take my time with Ray, who hasn't been home in a long time.

"Really?... Well, I think Elaine's going to do something about it."

To that word, Dusker becomes incapable of saying anything.

In fact, I guess it was because I had that feeling that Elaine was going to really care about that much.

"Well, for now, there's Ara about Elaine, so I thought I wouldn't have to worry."

In fact, it's not strange that Ara would run wild again if it came to Elaine... but given the current situation, I could still hope that she would work well enough as a suppressor of Elaine.

Did Dusker also come to the same conclusion as Ray, or did he decide that under the current circumstances it made no sense to say anything more than that?

"Then it's time for me to go to the Trent Forest. You need to bring Nielsen.... If you're negotiating, I don't know how you'll react."

"Right. It's nice to live in the Trent Forest, but like magic items, we need profit here too. And when it comes to pranks..."

"Ah."

Ray remembers yesterday's incident with the word prank out of Dusker's mouth.

But I guess I had a bad feeling if that word 'ah' made it a dusker.

... It's not strange that I would really pay attention to that area just for the words that came out of Ray's mouth.

That's a prediction from Dusker's previous experience.

And it proved in Ray's next words that the prediction wasn't so wrong.

"Actually yesterday I went to the underground space to see how Anastasia was doing after I sent Nielsen to the Trento Forest..."

In fact, maybe Grimm knows something about fairies when he goes to ask about the results of experiments such as whether they would be able to use Dragonias' body as a material if he left it in the other world? I went to the underground space because of the idea.

But that's how I needed to be deluded than I haven't explained to Dusker about Grimm.

That's what I thought Ray would have to tell the truth sooner or later than he was also based in Gilm.

"Hmm, so?

"On the way home, the fairies were making connections like letting them get lost."

"That's... that's a good way to get out of here."

"Yes, fortunately, the junction itself wasn't that strong, so it would be light if Seto flew through the sky. However, it appears that some of the men were trapped in the junction and lost."

Dusker looks grumpy at the phrase that he was lost.

Trees logged in the Trento Forest are a very important substitute for building materials in the construction of the Gilm.

It would be very difficult to deal with the fact that Ray's return had finally set the stage for a solution to the problem of taking the time to carry them in the absence of Ray and running out of material, but if Ray got lost there again.

Above all, when Ray was going to different worlds, he was struggling with not enough adventurers to carry him, whereas this one case of logging trees gets lost... which means he can't do his job.

That would cause more delays in the construction of the additions than when Ray was in another world.

(It would be huge in this case if the others and adventurers were looking for the lost ones)

There may be no need to worry if it is, but we cannot deny the possibility that the felled trees are lost where they fell...

Given the circumstances around it, it is still huge that the pigeons get lost.

"In the meantime, if you see Nielsen today, tell me about it. If that doesn't seem like a good idea... expect it from the marina."

"Huh? Ah, yes"

Expect marina.

That's all Ray could say when he saw Dusker's face the moment he said it. That's how he nodded.

Black...... if I see Dusker smile too black, I can only react that much.

"Well, then it's time for me to go to the Trent Forest."

What the hell would Marina do to Nielsen?

That's what I wanted to hear, but at the same time I got scared... that's what Ray said and threw the sandwich provided on the table into his mouth before leaving the office.

"Well, I'm picking up Nielsen, remember where we were yesterday?

"Gru!"

In Trent's woods, leave Seto to Ray's word! and honking.

Ray and Seto alone were the usual things a while ago... but now it's been quite a long time since I've had a combination.

Usually, there were quite a few other people besides Ray and Seto.

"Okay. Then, do me a favor. … go."

Nodding at the words of such Ray, Seto proceeds through the forest of Trento.

On Seto's back, Ray is alert to what's going on around him.

I'm wary of monster raids... not fairy pranks.

From what I've told you yesterday about Nielsen, I don't think he'll follow his request, though not very much.

No, I guess you're right that even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it... than it's the fairy instinct to prank.

"So far, especially fairies...... hmm?

There are no fairies.

That's what I tried to say, Ray, but seeing the bushes shake unnaturally a little further away, maybe the fairy will do something about it again.

That's what I thought...

"Waw......"

It was the wolves who showed up out of the bushes.

That also seemed like the wolf Ray ran into yesterday. A wolf who led a herd to be precise, oddly smart for a wolf, and isn't that what makes it so close to human intelligence?

A wolf who even seemed that way appeared before Ray and Seto.

"... are you the only one today?

I look around, but only one of them is in front of me.

What happened to the herd that was leading it?

Have you occupied the flavor in one case yesterday and craved something to eat again?

I think so, but the wolf that exists ahead of Ray's gaze is clearly different from yesterday's.

Only bones and skins had meat on them firmly in one day.

No matter how much you eat, can you suddenly add meat to your body that much in one day? and ray in doubt, but the wolf actually at the end of his gaze is definitely the same wolf compared to yesterday? There was so much meat on it that it seemed.

Or I even thought it might really be a different wolf than it was yesterday, but when I see Ray and Seto in front of me and I'm not scared or scared, I don't think there's more than one wolf like that.

"What are you doing here?

"One!"

To Ray's words the wolf rattles like a dog and walks straight in front of Seto.

As Ray and Seto look at the wolf...... eventually the wolf stops on his feet and again makes a 'one' and a chirping sound that seems to me to be a dog, not a wolf.

But Seto, who watches such a wolf and somehow understands what he wants to do, walks out after the wolf who guides him on the road.

Ray had a lot to say about how such a wolf looked, but if it would be helpful to guide him, he had nothing more to say.
