Legend

2456 words

Ray, guided by a wolf, arrived at the place as expected.

That place I recognize is where Ray came yesterday with Elaine and the others...... that is, near the fairy residence.

I don't know exactly how far we are from here to the fairy's residence, but still, I can predict that it probably won't be that far, given what happened yesterday when I left my stuff here.

"Gaw"

Unlike the chirping until he gets here, Ray takes a chunk of pig meat out of the mysteries as he did yesterday, listening to the chirping that made him look more wolfish than a dog.

It will fill the belly of a few wolves. Throw a chunk of that meat at the wolves instead of a guide fee.

I didn't know if I wanted meat and gave directions, but I was very fortunate for Ray that while I was acting with the wolf there was nothing like a fairy would prank me.

I don't know if that was because of the wolf, or if it just happened to be in that shape, but it was no problem enough to give the wolf meat as a thank you than it was definitely helpful to Ray.

"One!"

The wolf cries out his thanksgiving and then leaves with meat.

Ray doesn't even know if he eats pork meat on his own like this, or with his buddies.

But still, if you'll give me directions when I get here again, and protect me from fairy pranks, I'll convince you that I can give you the meat again instead of the reward.

"Nielsen, are you there? Nielsen!"

It was Ray getting off Seto's back and screaming like that, but there's no way Nielsen would show up.

I'll keep calling you for a few minutes, but you still don't show up in one line.

As for Ray, I would have liked him to come out early if I could.

"Maybe you haven't heard a voice?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?

I heard what Ray said. Seto, keep going back? and asks with a throat ringing.

Ray gets a little confused about what to do with Seto like that.

You'd naturally want to move on to the back of the woods more than Nielsen won't come out.

But I'm currently negotiating with the fairies.

So is the prank, to make a firm decision about whether or not to continue living in this Trent forest.

In that situation, can I go back on my own where Nielsen only brought me this far yesterday?

(Plus... maybe there are signs of it)

Nielsen doesn't come out, but it's like there are signs of fairies around... and there aren't. There was such a strange feeling in Ray.

Usually I can more clearly detect the other person's signs Ray, but that's what's in this situation...... it's easy to predict that fairies are deluding the area with some magic or skill.

(No, you think you're making the signs hard to understand in the junction?

Given yesterday's juncture, it is not surprising that such an imitation could be made.

When it comes to why such a bond is being put up, naturally, that would have nothing to do with Ray getting here yesterday.

"Nielsen, come out or I'll get in there! Still okay with that!

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!

On the scream of Ray again, he inadvertently hears such a voice from behind Trent's forest, and Nielsen shows up.

Towards Nielsen like that, Ray tried to complain that it was too late...

"Are you all right?

Out of my mouth instead of dissatisfaction was such a worrying word.

Naturally. As far as this is concerned, Nielsen is exhausted.

Even though it's only morning now, I get the impression that the day after I work all night......

"I'm fine...... well, I'm a little tired"

"Are you tired after all? So, what happened to you?

I can't even imitate Ray's dissatisfaction when he sees Nielsen now that he's exhausted.

However, it is true that I have doubts as to why Nielsen is tired.

"You've done a lot of shopping yesterday, haven't you? That's popular with everyone. It was a takeover.... I didn't expect you to dodge my fist and eat a counterattack."

"... right"

As for Ray, I can only answer that.

Although Ray's perception was that fairies are a race that specializes in magic.

But as far as listening to him like this, Nielsen even looks like he does fights.

... I couldn't imagine that at all.

Imagine the sight of little people like fairies fighting for themselves... shaking their necks right next to each other.

Because even if I imagined such a situation, I would have thought of something completely out of sight from the actual sight.

"That's right. But I've secured the baked sweets, so it's no problem. I'm going to buy a lot more today..."

Nielsen's passion for shopping is hot because he took a lot of the luggage he bought yesterday.

In contrast to such Nielsen, Ray feels only a little pushy.

Ray knows full well that women shop long.

Precisely because there were so many such stories in cartoons, comics, and novels when I was in Japan, there would be a strong side to it that I meant to know.

The Elaine and the others who are with us are basically not shopping.

Even so, there's basically no such thing as shopping as long as Ray thinks.

It also related to Elaine being with me and feeling half dated when it came to shopping for Nielsen yesterday, and there was nothing that bothered me that much.

In that sense, I guess it didn't bother Ray a bit that no one else - Seto is here - today and I have to go out shopping for Nielsen on my own.

"Shopping is fine, but before I do... or I have a suggestion to make"

"Please? What? I took care of a lot of things yesterday, so I'm going to ask you a lot."

Ray is just a little surprised at what Nielsen said.

I didn't know there was such a perception that Nielsen took care of me.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah. Of course, if you can't, I say you can't.... is that impossible?

"Not really. I simply want you to come to where I live when I'm done talking to Master Dusker today."

"Huh? Ray's? What? That sounds interesting."

If this is normal, it's not strange to be wary of being asked to come to a stranger's house.

But this time, he didn't care that much because he was the fairy Nielsen.

... Most likely, given Nielsen's size, there's no such thing as thinking strange.

"Are you sure? Yeah, and by the way, my place is my buddy's house, so there's a bunch of people out there besides me."

Perhaps you consider yourself the only place where you live.

When Ray says so with such a doubt, Advocate Nielsen shows a little lost.

But... the next moment out of Nielsen's mouth was another word from what Ray had expected.

"Huh? Are there other people besides Ray? When that happens, I'm Ray's that... Dragon robe again? Do I have to be in that? Well, it's not that bad because it's comfortable."

To Nielsen's words, Ray doesn't know what to answer just a little...... eventually, he shakes his neck sideways saying there's no problem.

"All my people know about fairies, so you don't have to hide. Besides, the house… or the grounds are adjusted to be comfortable with spiritual magic, so you don't have to go inside the dragon robe."

"Huh? Really? Spirit wizards are rare.... Well, then there's nothing wrong with me. And you're gonna bother inviting me, so you can expect a treat, right?

"My landlord Marina told me to bring him in, and I don't think I have to worry about that area. I have all sorts of dishes."

The cuisine stored in the mysteries is rather diminished in one case in the other world.

However, there was undoubtedly still considerable leeway, and there were quite a few stocks of dishes to satisfy Nielsen.

Nielsen laughs happily when he hears Ray's words.

Ray, who watched Nielsen like that... for some reason, unexpectedly thinks of hemp woman tofu.

(Is that it? Why would I look at Nielsen and think of hemp woman tofu?

Nielsen doesn't have white or red colors that remind her of hemp lady tofu.

Yet why did I look at Nielsen and think of Mahjong Tofu... I think so and convince myself that maybe I inadvertently remembered Mahjong Tofu with the word delicious food.

(If you like mahjong tofu or not, it's my favorite dish... not that I like it from the bottom of my heart)

That's what I thought, Ray, but when I remember, I want to eat.

... Though Ray doesn't know how to make hemp lady tofu.

I bought some mahogany tofu sauce and tofu for a summer vacation or some kind of lunch while I was in Japan.

Even that, because the tofu I bought was silk tofu, not cotton tofu, for some reason, and I stirred it abusively when cooking, it became something I should also call hemp woman soup rather than hemp woman tofu.

Still, the sauce was commercially available, so it was delicious.

If Ray told me to make it from all kinds of condiments used in tofu and hemp tofu from the beginning... it's not very much, but I can't make it.

In the first place, I don't even know how to make tofu.

When I was in Japan, it was very memorable, like crushing soybeans and cementing them into soy milk by some means when I saw them on TV.

Other than that, if you ask me to do something about the seasoning, this one's perfectly fine.

Aren't you using chili pepper because the sophistication is spicy with mahjong tofu? It's just perception.

"Ray? What's going on?

"Nothing.... By the way, does Nielsen know what a hemp woman tofu is?

"Huh? What's that? I don't know. Delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's spicy"

I don't need it.

The moment I heard it was hard, Nielsen flips the words lightly.

But considering Nielsen's character, he decides that's not particularly odd, and Ray doesn't imitate anything more like going in.

"In the meantime, you're ready now, aren't you? I don't think I'll be able to come back to the Trent Forest because I think I'm going to be staying in the Guild today."

"... wait a minute. Because I'll be back soon. Because I'll be back real soon."

Tell him so, and hurry up to Nielsen behind the woods.

It was Ray who tried to say something, but by then he was already invisible from the spot.

"... that's fast"

Nielsen's flying speed is much faster than Ray expected.

Is that because Nielsen has the ability to be chosen as a negotiator so he can get the speed he has now, or did he do that because he thought he wouldn't be able to do things like stay in Gilm if he wasn't in a hurry?

Ray didn't know why around, but Ray waits on the spot with Seto.

"Seto, Nielsen... that was fast"

"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr!

When I can fly faster, I claim so, Seto.

In fact, that's never wrong, Seto is faster than Nielsen.

"I know. Seto could fly faster."

Satisfied by Ray's affirmation, Seto rings his throat with joy.

Waiting for Nielsen to stroke such a ceto...

"Sorry to keep you waiting!

In less than enough time, Nielsen will be back.

"That was fast enough. I thought it would take a little longer."

"I told you I was in charge of the negotiation.... I have to report it to the chief."

I guess the last word was meant to make Nielsen not sound like Ray either, but Ray's body, created by Zepile, has a sharp five senses, even if it is not as Seto.

That hearing kept Ray firmly listening to Nielsen.

(Long? You were also the leader when you came out on the Seremus Plains and scolded the fairies. Well, is it natural to have more heads than live as one group?... When the casual fairies obey that instruction very hard, I guess they can't be long unless they're pretty competent)

Because I know the fairy's character, Ray convinces me that way.

... Though, there's only one fairy head that Ray knows, so that's really the standard.

"Right. Then let's go to the guild."

That's what he said, and Ray walked away from the scene with Nielsen.
