The black fog of vampires burns by the magic of Ray.

I thought about burning fog like this half way through my mind, but now that that was the right thing to do? Think like that.

Of course, Ray doesn't think that burning the fog itself is the best way either.

But the question was, if it turned out to be ashes that had been burned, I wondered if it would be recognized in the guild as a vampire.

... No, if you can't admit it, that's fine.

I still have time for one day tomorrow.

But the biggest problem isn't the bodies, it's the vampire's demon stone.

This is all I really wanted to get as Ray.

That's what I thought, I was looking at the fog that was burning... but eventually it burned or the flames went out...

"All right!"

From Ray's mouth, a voice of joy rises.

The reason for this was ahead of Ray's gaze.

On the ground are ashes burned by vampires.

And the demonic stones that are placed on the ashes.

In the meantime, it was lucky for Ray to get the Demon Stone, which was his biggest goal.

"The problem is, this ash....... why don't you just take it? The Alliance might decide that this ash is the burning ash of a vampire."

It just looks like ash from Ray's eyes, but if it's a guild. Or.

That's what I think, and when I take the empty bottle out of the mysteries, I fill it with ash and store it in the mysteries.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

What do you do with the Demon Stone? and was a throaty cet, but Ray shook his neck sideways against such a cet.

"If this ash is recognized as a vampire, we'll need the Demon Stone as well.... I don't have a Rank A Monster Demon Stone, but it's storage for now. Even so, if it's ash, you can't take any material or anything."

It's also a great shame for Ray that he struggled to defeat the vampire but couldn't get that material.

Rather than being a Rank A monster, the material definitely meant a lot.

Above all, only a very major material of being, a vampire, which would have been of much use.

(In the meantime, is this the only ash available? Whether or not this ash is recognized as a vampire by the guild is half the bet, though. Later, whether this can be used as a material)

Either way, Ray has succeeded in defeating a vampire who, along with Seto, had the strength he deserved to call himself a strong enemy, so now he decides it's a hassle to think any further.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

And I notice Seto looking at himself unexpectedly worried.

That gaze is directed at Ray's face… among them the cheek scratched earlier by a blow from a vampire.

Was it such a deep wound that the blood continues to flow even now that I'm doing this?

I understood Seto was worried about Ray's wound like that. Ray takes the potion out of the mystering and heals the wound.

Originally Ray's body has a high healing capacity, so a wound like this will stop bleeding quickly, and in a few days the wound will definitely heal completely.

Still, I used the potion because Seto would be worried if I left the wound intact.

This fight against vampires, Seto pulled Ray's mime.

Neither did Seto think he could take a blow to his forefoot and throw it.

As a result, Ray imitated that he would accept himself by being thrown, and was stabbed with a blood rapier from his back.

Fortunately, Ray was wearing a dragon robe, so there was no such thing as being pierced from his back, but that was just a coincidence.

In that sense, Seto was quite concerned about his failure.

If you try Ray, I don't think you need to worry about Seto's failure this time.

Fight... it's not a fight against the miscellaneous fish around it, it's a fight against a high-ranking monster named Vampire.

He's a highly wise opponent on top of that, so it was a battle based on the premise that if you try to lay it, you'll struggle.

"Look, the wound's gone, too, right? So don't worry."

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto looks at the spot where the scar was and makes sure there is no scar there, he rattles his throat and rubs his head against Ray as he was convinced.

With such a stroke of Seto's head, Ray figured out what to do now... eventually, he opens his mouth.

"Are we going back to the safe house today?"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Are you okay? And a throaty ceto.

I was looking forward to Ray hunting monsters in the Night Forest because I understood.

If you're staying in the Devil's Forest tomorrow night, it's not strange to think like going back today because there's still tomorrow night.

But we need to leave the Devil's Forest by tomorrow.

... I can still leave the Devil's Forest at night, so I can't even imitate looking for monsters at night, but if I concentrate too much on you and can't leave the Devil's Forest before the date changes, the promotion exam will be disqualified.

If so, naturally, we could explore quite a few demonic woods at night, but we needed to travel with some leeway.

"Oh. I could take down a vampire. Besides... during the day tomorrow, we'll head deep into the woods. So I take down as many high-ranking monsters as I can, and when it's about evening, head outside the Devil's Forest and wait for the night to hunt the monsters where I can see the exit. So, before the date changes, we leave the Devil's Forest."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Are you gonna do what you're supposed to do? and a throat-beating ceto.

Ray also understood what he was thinking from how Seto was doing, so he goes on with the words without looking particularly concerned.

"They say the plans are pending. It's only a rough plan. If anything special happens, I can think of enough to reschedule."

For example, if you get into battle with a monster as powerful as a vampire, it's tough to fight a streak.

It's only tough, not impossible.

In the first place, as for Ray, by tomorrow's day he will be moving on to the back of the Devil's Forest, where he intends to defeat a high rank monster...... a rank A monster or in some cases a rank S monster.

With that in mind, once things like being limited to the extent that you fought a strong enemy and not being able to fight any further, you won't be able to imitate that you will survive in the Devil's Forest in the first place.

"Do you want to go home, then? … of course, if a monster strikes along the way, I'll knock him out."

This is natural.

Even though I'm pretty tired of fighting vampires, if there are monsters who have attacked me from the other side on purpose, options like letting it go don't exist in Ray and Seto.

That's how Ray and Seto started moving towards the safe house...

"You're not coming at me."

"Gru."

Ceto agrees with Ray, who grunts unexpectedly.

We still know that monsters don't come out around the square where we fought vampires.

But there's no way the monsters are going to attack even if they're quite a distance from the square.

There is absolutely no doubt that there is more to it than this situation.

I couldn't do anything about it as Ray more than I don't know why.

I was tired of fighting vampires, so it was helpful not to fight extra.

If Ray and Seto hadn't been exhausted in their battle with vampires...... no, it probably would have been a subtle place to notice, but you might have noticed a black snake disappearing a little further away.

In fact, Black Snake has been watching Ray and the Dark World Tree since their battle.

Around the dark world tree, even the monsters, rather than animals and birds, did not come close, but the black snake approaches without any problems.

And happy to see Ray and Seto defeat the Dark World Tree... but knowing that vampires would show up at night, the Black Snake was going to defeat them himself.

But for some reason, by the time the vampire showed up, Ray and Seto came to the same place again, and it was a battle.

Ray and Seto overwhelmed the vampires, although they were going to come in to help if they were in danger.

... I had the thought that if I tried Ray or Ceto, I would have struggled quite a bit, but if I looked at it objectively, I would have generally been overwhelmed because I only injured the Rank A monster with a cheek wound on his opponent - I was stabbed with a blood rapier on my back to be exact, but this one wasn't injured with a dragon robe.

Such Ray and Seto tried to return to the safe house, so the Black Snake kept such Ray and Seto out of the way and from being raided by monsters.

If you try Ray or Ceto, the unknown monster Demon Stone is where you want it, so Black Snake's behavior was a little overprotective, but neither Ray nor Ceto noticed the existence of Black Snake in the first place, so you can't be dissatisfied with it.

That's how Ray and Seto arrived at the safe house while being protected by the black snake.

"... you didn't even get attacked by one monster after all"

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray squeaking strangely from the bottom of his mind and Seto questioning him to agree with it.

But Ray doesn't even know why we did it, beyond what we did.

(Because you defeated a vampire? No, but I've defeated Rank A monsters before, but this shouldn't have happened. Or because you're a vampire, not a Rank A monster?

When you get back to the guild, why don't you ask around Lenora?

With that in mind, Ray and Seto enter the confines of the lair.

Outside the junction, no matter how many enemies you can't see, you don't know when or where they will strike from.

More than that, we need to make sure that when something happens, we deal with it immediately, but if we get inside this junction, we don't have to worry about that at all.

In that sense, it is precisely in this juncture the only place in the Devil's Forest to be called an absolute resting place.

"Well, take it. Do you want to go to bed today?... I feel like walking around the Devil's Forest doesn't bring out any monsters"

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

While nodding at Ray's words. Seto's hungry! and insist on Ray.

If I tried Ceto, I wanted to nourish him for exercising well before going to bed.

If I heard Seto say something like wanting to eat a full belly before a woman's adventurer goes to bed, what the hell would that be like?

That's how he thinks, while Ray takes the pig's block meat out of the mistering.

"What do we do? Bake it or eat it raw?

This meat was in mysterious, so it's naturally very fresh.

Still, few people usually do things like eat raw, but in Seto's case, they can eat either through fire or raw.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Eat raw, and throat ringing ceto.

He looks very happy with a chunk of fresh meat in front of him.

(Well, in Seto's case, you can bake the surface with the worst firebraces. Taste raw at first, broil and eat the surface, and cook thoroughly at the end. Wouldn't it be strange to do that)

When so convinced, Ray puts a block of pork in front of Ceto, he strokes Ceto.

"Well, I'm going to bed. If Seto eats that too, rest tight."

To Ray's words, Seto signals his readiness to understand by rattling his throat as he eats meat quickly.

Ray enters the lair, smiling at how Seto is doing.

Naturally, there was no way this lair had anyone in but Ray and Seto, and I could go back to the room without any problems.

When I get so light-hearted, I roll straight into bed.

I tried to get in touch with Grimm on a pair of orbs to hear about the vampire, but I have no reaction to hatred and a pair of orbs.

Decide that you're probably concentrating on the research, and use Elaine's pair of orbs.

"Ray? What's going on? Is something wrong?

I've been in touch with you on a pair of orbs during the promotion exam, so maybe something happened? I guess I thought so.

It was Elaine asking like she was in a hurry, but I'm surprised that Ningro Ray was still awake at this hour.

If they didn't respond by contacting me, I thought I'd go straight to sleep.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to see Elaine's face."

'Oh, well.... So, how's it going over there? You must be in the Devil's Forest, right?

"That's right. But there's a safe house in the Devil's Forest. There's nothing to worry about if you stay there."

With that said, Ray enjoyed a little conversation with Elaine.
