Legend

On the night of the defeat of the bull monster, the Rays will be camping in a place just short of the Devil's Forest.

If Ray had traveled a little faster, he would have arrived in the Devil's Forest in time such as whether that would be the evening.

But as I told Zakat, he chose to go into the Devil's Forest tomorrow morning and take a two-night, three-day promotion exam from there.

As a result, the trip this afternoon was to be slow and we were to camp in a place just a little further to the Devil's Forest.

"This meat is delicious."

smudge and Zakat eats a skewer and says.

That skewering is not, as usual, the dish Ray took out of Mystering...... but the beef monster thigh Ray knocked down today.

A very simple dish where you just stabbed it in the skewer and baked it and then shook salt.

That's the dish even Ray can cook, and he's really a better cook...... Marina, for example, would make a better dish.

But more than not, Ray has to cook.

I asked Zakat if he could cook once too, but he was as inferior as Ray because he usually leaves it to his people.

That's why I made a very simple dish, where Ray skewered it as an amateur dish and it was also just seasoned with salt, not like sauce, but its skewering was actually as delicious as Zakat put his thoughts to the mouth.

Ray cooked, so the meat was never baked well.

It can be burning by the way with the addition or subtraction of fire, and there is no raw place at least salvation.

It was such a skewer, but the meat deserved the expression of sucking on the tongue, a rare texture.

It is not that fatty, but it is still moist, and if it is chewed, the original flavour of the meat spreads throughout the mouth.

"Oh, delicious. I knew it would be nice to just cut the meat out of this one."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto, who was eating meat as well, sounds happy.

Seto's ringing in the darkness of the night wouldn't be strange if he escaped the moment he heard his voice if it were a normal monster.

Most of all, there were more monsters here than near the Devil's Forest, not all of whom fled frightened to hear Seto squeal, but there was also the possibility that there would be monsters attacking them, judging that there was a Ning Luo prey.

It should be noted that, unlike the two and one who are delighted to eat meat, the horse on which Zakat came was enjoying dinner in Zakat's prepared hay and water.

Regardless of the water, the hay seems to have been made by drying some pretty special grass, which would be a treat if you took it to a horse.

Same thing happened last night, but I won't let that haystack look like a horse would be unhappy.

"I have a good chance of eating high-ranking monster meat, but it's rarely as delicious as this meat."

Zakat seems happy...... and squeaks like that, regretting the low number of skewers left.

I guess there are quite a few opportunities to fight high rank monsters, as Zakat says, more than being a Rank A adventurer.

But even for such a zakat, this meat tasted more than I ever imagined.

"Oak meat tastes better than its rank, doesn't it? Isn't that how this cow tastes better than rank? I don't know this monster, so I don't know what rank it is."

Maybe it was Ray's expectation that it was about rank B.

Considering it as a Rank A monster, it's pretty weak.

But still, Ray's Flying Slash couldn't do much damage, so it was definitely a pretty high ranking monster.

From that prediction, it's easy to predict for Ray that he's probably a Rank B monster.

"I guess Ray's lucky to run into these winning monsters. Most likely, if an adventurer in that area encounters this monster, he will be killed without being able to do anything, because it's Ray."

"Is that a compliment or not, that's a subtle thing.... Well, I'm glad I got this cow monster meat, and I'm not dissatisfied with that."

In fact, although Ray had some difficulty fighting this bull monster, it was still only somewhat.

This would be delightful because such delicious meat could be obtained with such a degree of difficulty.

At least not least, I wasn't dissatisfied with the matter for Ray.

If I were to be forced to think about my dissatisfaction, something like wanting me to come out in larger quantities if I could?

"I think there are as many of these monsters in the Devil's Forest as Ray wants to fight. Nevertheless, the monsters of the Devil's Forest are a strong match. You'll have to be careful."

"I hope so. By the way, is it all right with the rules of the promotion exam to ask about Zakat when he used to go into the Devil's Forest?

"I don't have a problem with this, because you can also consider information-gathering to be part of the promotion exam. There's not much I can teach you, though."

"Really? Zakat seems to be able to do something about it in the Devil's Forest."

When Ray woke up in this world, when he escaped from the Devil's Forest with Seto, there was no such thing as easy... but he was still able to act quite sparingly.

If so, if Zakat, a rank A adventurer, wouldn't he have had a lot of room?

That's what I thought, but Zakat shook his neck sideways against Ray.

"No, we went into the Devil's Forest at a party. As a result, I couldn't stay that long."

"Uh... I see"

I went into the Devil's Forest at a party.

With that word alone, Ray understands why Zakat and the others could not be in the Devil's Forest for a long time.

Ray doesn't know what strength Zakat's people have.

But from what Zakat looks like, it would definitely not extend to Zakat in terms of strength.

(I mean, Rank B...... no, maybe it's as strong as Rank C?

Of course, not everyone needs to be better at fighting than they are partying.

In fact. Even the Red Lotus wings that Ray is putting together, compared to Ray, Marina and Vihera, Buune is one step...... no, they only have the strength to be inferior to five or six steps.

But that change, Beaune, has a commensurately high strength as a bandit.

Also, thanks to his training with Vihera, if you look at it in brackets as a bandit, Bühne has a lot of strength.

Like Bühne, the party naturally has a role to play.

However, in the case of the Red Lotus Wings, there is a purely attacking Vihera and Ray and Marina besides the bandit Bühne.

Ray has the versatility to use magic items, skills, and magic to accommodate all of his range, mid-range, and close range, and Marina is a powerful Spirit Magic user for out-of-the-group attacks, aids, and recoveries and anything at the same time he can attack from a distance with a bow.

Not only that, but the wings of the Red Lotus also have the wings from which the name of the party came... Seto.

Seto, who can fly through the sky and use various skills, would be just a joker.

In this sense, Red Lotus Wings is a party, as well as very high individual strength.

If such a party were to happen, if it were to act in the Devil's Forest, it would not be like a quick retreat.

Not to mention not being a party member there, it's no exaggeration to say companions. With the addition of faces like Elaine, Ara and Yellow, the power of the war will be strengthened more.

"Is it a party? Same goes for my place, but it sounds like a lot of stuff. How much does Zakat have to replace party members?

In the case of Red Lotus Wings, there are no urgent plans to replace party members at this time.

However, regardless of the other faces, Bühne will have to return to Exil sooner or later.

In that case, unless the Rays move their base of activity to Exil, there's no doubt that Büne will be through the wings of the Red Lotus.

When that happens, what do we do?

Will Bühne be gone and keep the three parties, or will someone put in a new member?

Around there, Ray has yet to decide what to do either.

The Red Lotus Wings to which Ray belongs are, in many ways, a special party.

That is why, with all the beauties like Marina and Vihera, and with lots of opportunities to deal with Elaine as well, you won't be able to include a man in the party members in a detour.

It is also relevant in this case that there are so many skilled people.

(After all, maybe the three of us should work together instead of including new members when Bühne is gone)

Thinking that way, Ray continues his conversation with Zakat.

"Right. Until it solidified somewhat, there was quite a bit of movement in and out. There's just not that much in and out after it's hardened."

To Zakat's explanation, Ray nods as he is convinced.

I don't know if I fit in with that person until we actually have a party.

who, even if there are no human problems, are not fit for strength...... or the other way around.

Alternatively, there would be examples of humanly problematic, powerful and problematic.

Sometimes the most troublesome thing is that there is something that somehow doesn't fit with the rest of us, even if we don't have a strength problem.

Such a person does not know if they deserve their party unless it is that which is the least we can do together.

In that sense, in the case of Red Lotus Wings, we didn't need to worry about the area because we knew each other well enough, and we didn't have a problem with how well we were doing in strength.

However, it is not always possible to imitate such against someone who suddenly enters the party.

In that sense, I guess I was lucky when Ray formed Red Lotus Wings.

"If I do, do I need to think about my party?"

"What? Why? Ray's party is Red Lotus Wings, right? You don't have to think about all the strength, especially putting in new people, do you?

"Not really. You know what a bandit's beaune is?

"Oh, um..."

Apparently, Bühne's existence was also known to Zakat.

Even if I'm just a little surprised by that, I guess Bühne stands out even in the Guild, beyond being special in many ways.

Not to mention that I'm acting with a beauty like Vihera who sees in the ocean, and only Vihera can really tell the details of what Büne is trying to say.

... Also, I guess that's why Bühne is getting famous around the area where he has a nice face and is definitely going to be beautiful in the future.

Since there are many special hobbyists in the world, the popularity of Bühne is also high among them.

"That beaune, in the near future...... still a few years or so away, but sooner or later we're going to be out of the party. If this is pure avant-garde, I can handle it quite a bit... but it's a bandit."

"Oh, I see"

Zakat gets a convincing look at Ray's words.

Bandits don't even have to be... in doing adventurers, but they are definitely quite handy if they are there.

Especially when things like reconnaissance, setting up or disarming traps, and unlocking locks can be done.

But when it comes to being popular among adventurers, the story changes again.

Bandits are not that numerous in a different way from wizards.

No, that's quite a lot if you don't ask me about skill, but what Ray wants is a bandit who's highly skilled as a bandit and has the kind of fighting power he deserves.

... In fact, Ray also understands that there are options such as raising new bandits if they can't help it, as it's only since Büne has gained that much strength to act with the Rays.

But it was Ray's honest thought that he wanted an immediate bandit if he could.

(Though, it's also true that we have to do more than that is impossible. Or do I, Vihera or Marina learn the art of banditry? Most of all, even when it comes to bandit technology, there is absolutely no problem with reconnaissance, so there are trap and key relationships. Can we do something about that...?

Trap detection, once there is magic such as thinning in Ray's magic, can be detected if a trap is set on the ground.... unless it can be disarmed.

Alternatively, there would be means such as getting something done with the spiritual magic of the marina.

As for keys, there are also means such as destroying them without unlocking them at their worst.

(Is that it? Surprisingly you can handle it?

With that in mind, Ray was amazing the night before he entered the Devil's Forest.
