Legend

Huh?

I didn't know if it was okay to say... the noise that came out of Golem's mouth, but Ray made an unexpected sound to such a voice.

But was that enough of Ray's voice? The grunting Golem looked behind him, headed to the other Golems, and shouted with a whimpering voice.

Ray doesn't know exactly what that voice means.

I don't know, but I still understand that Golems are communicating with each other in some way.

Gru?

What do you want me to do? And next to Ray, Seto asks.

If these Golems came together and attacked us, it would be troublesome.

Is that why you're attacking here first? and asked Ray to shake his head sideways.

"Let's stop it. I don't think I'll make it through this number of golems."

If this were a regular golem, maybe Ray would have thought of a pre-emptive attack.

But the boundary that was stretched to hide this lake was stretched by the gate of Zepil.

As evidence, Ray and Seth were able to enter the border without any resistance.

Ray can't think of this as a coincidence.

"Pipi... pi"

Whether the communication was over while Ray was talking to Seto, Golem, the first to speak, once again cried out, he bowed deeply and left the scene.

The other Golems also left in pursuit of the Golem.

You saved me, huh?

After all of Golem is gone, Ray mutters in relief.

If that Golem is a Golem made by the Zepile Gate, it is no wonder it has a very high combat power, unlike its appearance.

(Not to mention that there was Takum Suzunose in the Zepile Gate, who seems to have been summoned from the same or similar era as me. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the golem were equipped with a beam gun or something. No, I'm sure you'll be surprised)

Twenty Golems with a beam weapon will be no less threatening than a Crystal Dragon.

No, only about twenty of them came out, and it's not strange that there are actually more.

This lake... or, given the size of the interior of the boundary, it is not strange that there are not only 200 but 2,000.

"Maybe that Golem maintains the environment inside this boundary."

Gruuuu?

Is that so? And ask Ray, Seth.

From Seto's point of view, the interior of this junction is quite wide.

Maintaining the environment in such a place would require considerable effort.

"I wonder if that Golem does all the pollination of flowers. And because it was a golem made by the Zepile Gate, Seth and I were not eliminated."

Ray's body is a substitute for the Zepil Gate.

In that sense, Ray and those Golems are not brothers... but it is possible that they have as many relationships as their distant cousins.

And Seto was created by the magic of the beast developed by the Zepil Gate.

Both Ray and Seth are related to the Zepil Gate.

That is why I can be convinced if I think that even if the Golems saw Ray and Seth, they didn't specifically eliminate them.

Of course, this is just Ray's prediction.

Perhaps the Golem is a substitute for the Zepile Gate, and there is no denying that Ray and Seto were not attacked by the Golem for another reason.

"Anyway, I'm sure we can take our time here, as long as Seth and I are here and we don't get attacked by the Golem."

The monster is a space where no animal species exists.

The safest place in this demon forest would be the safe house where Ray and the others were based.

... if for some reason the Golems don't attack us.

"Gruuuuuu"

After hearing Ray's words, Seto decided to take his time here.

It quickly entered Relax mode and began to check the surroundings.

In fact, the view from here is fantastic enough.

It's not strange that some people come for sightseeing.

... but since this place is hidden by boundaries, there will be a very small number of people, including Ray, who can see this view.

"It's a bit unfortunate that you may not be with the fish. I think it would be interesting if I could fish."

Ray murmurs and looks into the lake.

Only clear water was highly transparent, and it was able to be seen well down to the bottom of the lake.

However, there may be aquatic plants there, but of course there are no fish, no frogs, no insects.

(Golem probably pollinates plants, but how does he manage water plants and so on?

Ray has never had a fish, so he is not familiar with the area.

Still, it is somehow understandable whether organisms in the water, such as fish, have a significant influence on aquatic plants.

Without such an underwater creature, perhaps the Golem is doing something just like the plants on the ground, but I still don't know where it is.

Gruuuuuuu!

Ray turned to look at the pleasant voice that she was surprised to hear.

Then there was Ceto swimming in the lake.

"Hey, Seth!?

When Ray saw the sight, he unexpectedly shouted.

Of course not. The Golems control the interior of this juncture.

If Ray's predictions are correct, it will have some impact on the Magic Forest... for example, to supply water and make more monsters alive.

That being the case, I didn't know how the golem would react if I did something like jump into the lake that supplies the water and swim.

Golems seemed to have allowed Ray and Seth to be within the boundaries, but the answer would be subtle if they asked if they could move freely within the boundaries.

And Golem had no idea what to do when something happened, just the presence that the Zepil Gate would have made.

However, I was surprised at Seto's sudden behavior....

Looking around in a hurry, Ray found several golems standing on the side of the lake.

Ray carefully determines how the golem will behave.

If we're going to attack Seto, we might have to destroy the Golem in the worst case scenario.

In that case, it is likely that myself and Seth will be judged hostile to Golem, and that they will fight Golem, which was produced by the Zepil Gate.

Don't attack.

Even for Ray, he had a strong gratitude for the Zepile Gate.

After all, if the Zepil Gate had not developed magical beast art and Zepil had not imitated it by looking for its successor, Ray, who had suffered an accident in Japan, would have traveled to the afterlife.

In addition, thanks to the magical beast art developed by the Zepil Gate, I was able to get a partner named Ceto, and in Elgin, I have a variety of experiences... that I could only enjoy when I was on Earth with cartoons, novels, games, animations, etc.

I don't want to destroy the Golem produced by the Zepil Gate, which deserves such gratitude.

With that in mind, I was looking at the Golems on the side of the lake....

"Pi... pi"

"Pipi"

Ray had some sort of conversation that she didn't understand and went back to work.

Ray feels relieved by the state of the Golem.

As far as I could tell, I didn't recognize Seth as an enemy for the time being.

Ray was relieved, but Seth was swimming in the lake to feel good, worried about Ray.

Flying in the sky is another experience of unusual pleasure.

Perhaps he was attacked by the Golem because Ray was watching something he didn't understand at all, but because he came to such a place, he decided to look around.

"Seth, I'm going to take a look around!

"Gruuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

All right, set out to scream.

Then he leaves Seth in the lake to swim out again, and Ray walks around the lake.

Plant species reproduce quite a lot, but there are still no insects.

Some people like nature but don't like insects, but if they do, it's an ideal place within this boundaries.

However, if you ask the Magic Forest for that ideal... and it comes quite far away, there are not many people who do such things... On the contrary, it seems very rare.

If you think so, you walk thinking you were lucky, and you find a golem that cares for plants.

They may be doing things like cutting a branch of a tree that is too long, but I wonder if I can get in the way, and when I try to move away gently, the golem sounds unexpectedly.

Pi!

For a moment, Ray was alert to that voice.

However, there is nothing particularly hostile about Golem.

Unlike regular monsters, I didn't know if the Golem had any kind of killing or hostility.

In the hand of Golem is red fruit.

Although I didn't peel off the skin, the fruit with a sweet and sour aroma clearly seemed delicious even if I ate it.

However, Ray has seen various fruits since he came to Elgin, but this is the first time Golem has seen them.

The size is slightly smaller than an apple.

"Is this for me? Can I eat it?

Pi!

When I asked Golem, he nodded as if he were right.

Receiving the fruit from such a golem, I was surprised that the feeling was softer than apple than mikan, but I thought that the golem would say so, and I tried to drink the fruit.

Sacrifice.

It has a texture that doesn't seem to have felt like Mikan, so Ray checks the taste while enjoying the texture....

"... delicious..."

The only word out of Ray's mouth that tasted the fruit was a pungent one.

When you eat something really delicious, there is no extra decorative word in the words that come out.

Only such an overwhelming taste remained in Ray's mouth.

As for the taste, it has a refreshing, pear-like sweetness.

In an instant, the intense sweetness spreads into the mouth, but in the next instant, a slight acidity remains.

One, two, three.

With such deliciousness, Ray drank the fruit again after giving his impressions... but soon disappeared as it was originally a fruit slightly smaller than an apple.

"It was delicious. Thank you."

Ray said a word of gratitude to Golem for the fruit.

However, the fruit I received from Golem must have been delicious, even as I spoke words of gratitude.

"Pi, pi, pi! Pipi!"

Golem, who was watching Ray, stopped moving a little further and looked at Ray.

From the appearance of the Golem, Ray, who seemed to be telling me to follow him, followed him.

Follow the Golem, a few minutes.

The forest on the side of the lake... no, the forest on a large scale.

Behind the forest, Ray finds a tree there.

Curiously, there are no trees around.

If that's all, it's in the same situation as the Dark World Tree, but from that tree, I don't feel anything as ominous as the Dark World Tree.

On the contrary, it even seems like you are distributing your power to your surroundings.

Above all, Ray's gaze was drawn to the fact that the branches of the tree were full of the same fruits that Ray had eaten earlier.

"That fruit is so..."

Pi!

To the grunting ray, Golem points to the fruit.

That seemed to me to say that you can pick as many fruits as you like.

"Perhaps we can harvest this fruit?

Pi!

"... how much can I pick?

Pipi!

Ray doesn't know what Golem wants to say.

I don't know, but it still seemed like I was doing a lot of tricks, so I opened my mouth including the meaning of confirmation.

"Can I pick all the fruit from that tree...?

Pi!

Golem nodded at Ray's words... Ray started harvesting the fruit quickly.
