After finishing his conversation with Dusker, Ray heads to the Trent Forest.
If Anterm had made the case of the Count Zorgela family, he might not be in the aristocratic district anymore.
But there was also the possibility that he was still hiding somewhere in the aristocratic city, leaving it to think so.
Given the circumstances around it, we should still have been vigilant in this case.
That's why I crave fairy making magic items more than I did yesterday.
... Although it is natural to use the magic item, it is the homeowner's marina, and Ray was only there to bring the magic item.
It was fortunate for Ray to be able to see the magic items made by the fairies, although that is somewhat dissatisfying.
Essentially because there are really few people, such as those who have the chance to see magic items made by fairies.
"Mm-hmm...?
Because Trent's Forest is approaching, or Nielsen, who slept in a dragon robe, wakes up with such a voice.
"Do you want a hangover anymore?
"Yeah. Not entirely, but still somehow"
"If you punish me for this, I won't drink anymore."
"Right. But it was delicious, right?
"What?"
"... what the hell"
"No, well, if it wasn't actually delicious, there wouldn't be any guys who would break themselves up with alcohol, so I guess it's delicious for someone who thinks it's delicious..."
"What? Could Ray not be able to drink?
"It's not like I can't drink. I just don't think it tastes good to drink."
If you try it on Ray, the liquor is not very good but I don't think it tastes good.
But naturally, I knew there were a lot of people who liked the liquor.
Still, I still don't think it would taste good to drink alcohol... but I didn't think it would be enough to get hungover.
"Do fairies have booze, too?
"I do, but it's not like I can drink it whenever I want. I can only drink it on special occasions. It's hard to get honey, and a lot of people try to eat it before they drink it."
Speaking of booze with honey, Ray remembers a TV show he saw when he was in Japan.
The honey liquor, said to be the oldest liquor, was that it would be completed on its own if water was kept in the honey.
Is that really how you can drink? I thought so, Ray, but although I did a lot about the proper reason, I was listening.
Anyway, I just know that putting water in honey makes it booze over time, so that was enough.
(I see. Well, honey liquor makes it effortless, and it's not like wine or anything that takes a lot of time)
I thought so, Ray, but I don't know how to actually make wine.
In the show where honey liquor was introduced, I also did around it... What Ray remembers is that grapes for wine are not usually as sweet as grapes sold in supermarkets.
No, of course there are many varieties of wine, so some of them may be making wine from sweet grapes, but at least that's what Ray saw on TV.
"Honey liquor?... Well, if you're a fairy, you're going to lick honey, lick it, lick it, lick it, lick it until you're satisfied anyway, and eventually you're going to run out of honey"
"Gu..."
To Ray's words, Nielsen groans.
I guess the same thing has actually happened many times before.
That's why alcohol is rarely drinkable.
"Hey, it's time for us to go..."
"Gru?"
"Hmm? What's up, Seto?
It was Ray who tried to tell Nielsen to be quiet because it was their place, but Seto sounds his throat strangely.
I doubt how Seto looks like that, Ray.
If this were normal, I wouldn't have bothered you that much.
But now I needed to think more than just have one case of anterm in case.
(Without one thing about the anterm, I was just wondering if you even came to Trent Forest for a new monster)
I was Ray watching Seto with that in mind, but eventually Seto rattles his throat if it was his fault or nothing.
"Right. Then... proceed with caution for once? In the unlikely event Anterm finds anything, it's definitely a hassle. Right, going a little farther."
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto understood! and honking.
"Er... now that you're back, does it take you a while to get back?
Behind such a ceto, it is Nielsen who looks dissatisfied.
If we try Nielsen, he's finally resurrected from the pain of hangovers, but he says we're going all the way back to our place.
I needed to go back as soon as I could and ask the chief for the magic item.
That's what I think...... Nielsen is rapidly losing his motivation.
"Oh, yeah. I'm not complaining. On the other hand, more slowly… I think you can hang up a day today and go back."
"How much is that..."
To Nielsen's words, Ray utters a shuddering word.
Nevertheless, if you look at Nielsen...... and think of his interaction with Marina last night, I also felt that somehow you could see why Nielsen would say it that way.
That's why I can't even do that.
Ray has been told by Dusker to make fairy matters a top priority, but there are also jobs like carrying logged trees.
(Well, there are ways to make that job your top priority and go to the fairy residence later...... no, you don't. If it takes a while to convince you about a magic item, if you use your time poorly before then, that sucks. You might not be able to bring home a magic item today)
I definitely needed a fairy magic item more than just one anterm thing.
It is only natural that you want to avoid being unable to obtain it.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that.... hey, it's time to be quiet"
Find an adventurer who is escorting the sceptre ahead of Seto, and Ray tells Nielsen so in the dragon robe.
I got a slightly dissatisfied look at Ray's words, but honestly shut up when I remembered that Marina told me not to bother Ray as much as I could.
For Nielsen, I guess the presence of Marina is a bad opponent.
... while you're at it, you're never disgusted. I even had a preference for Ning Ro.
That has something to do with Marina being a world tree witch, but because of that, she doesn't like it, but she has a subtle look.
"Hey, Ray. You were a little late today."
The adventurer sees Ray and greets him effortlessly.
If this was a stranger, there would have been some things to be wary of, but Ray has already been here many times.
Only such a ray, naturally the adventurer knew about Ray as well.
(In that sense, Anterm didn't know me because... well, it's that personality, if someone else tells you they're not interested, you might be right)
I will continue my conversation with the adventurer by making that decision, trying to forget about the Anterm thing for now.
"I have some business for Master Dusker. In the end, it was this time."
Already, the time is not until noon…, but it is close to 11: 00 a.m.
It was this time because I had originally waited until Nielsen's hangover had healed somewhat and had done things like going to see how things were going with the Count Zorgela family and reporting the Anterm case to Dusker.
In that sense, it is also true that there has been a lot of trouble with this one.
"Hmm. Well, that's what happens if Ray's in a position. Besides carrying felled trees, you're doing a lot of things, aren't you?
"Don't be. Personally, I don't hate the situation that much right now."
Doing more than one job than just one isn't a bad story for Ray either.
However, there are differences between people around here.
"That's because it's Ray.... Whatever it is, take it with you because there are quite a few trees that have been felled. I'll take a look around a little bit more."
"Oh. Be careful. I don't know what's in Trent's woods."
Is that what was in Ray's head to tell you that he just showed Seto that he was curious about something earlier?
I needed to think more than just in case there was one case of the Count Zorgela family.
Ray doesn't even know if Anterm is here.
Still, it's no stranger to have some kind of back hand than being a Rank A adventurer.
"I know. In the first place, you're outside the guild, right? And given the state of Trent's woods, I'm pretty sure you can't be alarmed."
The words of that adventurer are never a mistake.
In the first place, Gilm has many monsters outside on the border.
It was also understandable to Ray to say that there was no problem because the adventurer was on guard more than that.
"Then I left that area to you. Nevertheless, there are a lot of monsters out there in Trent Forest, so you should probably be careful."
Saying so, Ray breaks up with the adventurer.
That's how the felled trees, which were piled a little further away, are stored in the mistering.
"Well, take this one for now. That's it. After that... that's where the fairies are. Seto, do you think we can go straight today?
"Gru!"
I'll take care of it! And a throat ringing ceto.
Ray decides that Seto would be able to reach the fairy's residence without any problems, without even a strange little of the fairy.
"Well, I'll take care of it.... Well, if you get lost, wolves are going to come out again, so don't worry about that area"
Imagine a wolf you've totally gotten to know in the last few days.
Not a monster, but a regular wolf.
Despite this, I'm strangely smart.
That's not so strange to do things like show the Rays the way and get food for the reward.
(If that wolf turns into a monster, it's going to be a monster with tremendous intelligence.... No, but if you're so intelligent, you'll understand the downsides of hostility to us and you won't have to worry about the area?
I was thinking about that, Ray, but if I did, I also had that expectation that we would take less care of ourselves in Trent's woods.
Even while we were thinking about it, Seto proceeded through the forest of Trento...
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
Towards Ray, he growls when he arrives.
"Oh, have you arrived? The wolves... are gone."
We'll see what's going on around us, but there's no sign of the wolves.
I think so, and I'm just a little sorry.
You wanted to see that smart wolf for a minute.
"Can't you help it if you're not there? Even the wolves have to do something about their own bait....... Nielsen"
"... mmm... hey..."
"Were you asleep again? We've arrived at your address. Come on, get me some magic items."
"Okay, I get it."
Nielsen, who happened in Ray's words, flies out of the dragon robe in such a way as an inadmissibility, to his residence.
Ray, who dropped it off, goes down from Seto.
Seto also fell asleep on the ground wondering if he was free while waiting for Nielsen.
Fortunately, there are various grasses growing from the ground here, so Seto won't get dirty if he falls asleep.
... Though Seto didn't show much concern for the area.
Ray also sits and leans against Seto without any particular concern because the ground is grass.
Seto rings his throat gladly at how Ray looks like that.
Hearing Seto squeal, Ray thinks about what happened after he received the magic item.
(I couldn't go to underground space to see Grimm yesterday, and I want to know what happened to the results of the experiment, so why don't I show my face over there? And when you hear the results of the experiment, go back to the guilds and carry the wood... then what do you do, right?)
The request Ray was receiving from Dusker is a resolution of the fairy case.
As far as that is concerned, more than the situation has already been one of negotiations between Dusker and Nielsen. Ray never does anything.
I dare you to think about what Ray has to do...... that was about sending Nielsen off.
(So, like a search for an anterm? I'd like to do something about it before it gets damaged over here if I can)
With that in mind, Ray felt the wind blowing through the woods.
