The top of the mountain where Harpy lives.There are very few plants around it, and a number of large rocks lie around it.It is safe to say that it is like a wilderness.
 and there was a cave at the top of the mountain.Near there are three harpies.The two of them stand at the entrance of the cave as if to protect it from the left and right, and the other one stands a little further away from the entrance of the cave.
 The Ray and his party are confirming the situation from a place where trees grow a little further from the summit.

"...is that Harpy on guard?"

 Brasso nods to Fluorocarbon's words as he looks at the three harpies near the entrance of the cave.

"Well, Harpy is originally a rather intelligent monster with a human head and torso, as you can see.I wouldn't be surprised if there was a concept of keeping watch."
"Is that so?"If you think about it, even the goblins will keep watch, so it's only natural that you think about it."
"But it's troublesome, it's troublesome.--what shall I do? I am not glad to be called in here for the delay in bringing down that watch."

 muttered Ray, looking around the cave.
 There is no plant around the cave, especially the watch of the harpies.Rolling to the ground are the bones of some animal or monster that the harpies have eaten up...or the bones that seem to belong to humans.To be polite, Harpy seems to eat up not only the flesh of his prey but also the internal organs and skin, and it is a blessing to the party that only bones lie about him, and that the odors do not smell.

"...I can't see anything burning around the nest, but in this condition, I think, if the cave is Harpy's, it's best to put out the watch quickly and drive the magic of fire into the cave."

 Fluorocarbons show their thoughts when Ray opens his mouth while checking the surroundings.
 Fluorocarbons and Brasso thought the Harpy's nest was made of a huge tree growing near the summit, so they rejected Ray's proposal. . . . .If Harpy's nest were in a cave, the story would change.
 Ray's weapon is a scythe.Brasso's weapon is a huge hammer, and Seto is a huge body over two meters long.It is only possible to predict how large the cave is, but it is still a little difficult for three and one of them to fight at the same time.

(Well, as long as Harpy lives, there must be enough space for them to fly and move.)

 Fluorocarbons glaring at the cave holding a long sword.

"...what shall I do? I don't want to plunge into that cave."

 Ray clenched the death size, saying that this is the weapon.

"Well, Fluorocarbons, as Ray said, don't worry about the spread of the fire here.It would be even more so if it were in a cave.on the contrary, I think we can do it all together."
"Yes, indeed, if we don't know what's going on in that cave, it would be suicide to fight each other in that cave."As long as Harpy lives, there must be at least room for flight, but as far as the entrance is concerned, it is quite small."for if you're not good at it, there's a possibility that the ground is narrow and the top is free to act. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Let's take Ray's opinion."

 Fluorocarbons exhale and say so.Ray nods at the words and looks at the three watchful harpies.

"Well, then... what shall we do with that watch?"If I could use my magic, I would prefer a surprise attack, and the three watchmen would certainly be in the way of casting magic into the cave."
"... Ray, is there any jumping gear in your item box?"
"Well, yes.There is a spear that can be thrown."

 Ray answers Fluorocarbons while looking at Mistiling.There were quite a few spears in the bracelet that had been stored by the robbers who had been put down in the previous rank-up examination.As for throwing spears, he has already confirmed their benefits in the dungeons he challenged with Elena.

"There is also the magic of the wind."It would be a little difficult in terms of range."

 The area from the bushes where the lays are hiding to the cave is about 200 meters, and although it is within easy reach of throwing spears, it is the magic of fire that emphasizes power.Or it can be said that death-size flying swords, which are disguised as wind magic, are out of range.
 Or, if you could use a large-scale method of fire, a distance of about two hundred meters would surely be noticed by the other harpies in the cave."...what shall I do now?"How could you get lost here?"
"It's not that I have nothing to do with it.But I'll need some luck."
"What? If there is no other way, we should hire them.Tell me."

 At Fluorocarbons' words, Ray turns his eyes to Seto, who is quietly groaning.

"The easiest way is for Fluorocarbons and Blaso to throw their spears at Harpy."

 They shake their heads at Ray's words.

In the first place, throwing is impossible to hit the target unless you have specialized training.'
"Well, 儂 is confident in his strength, but if he asks me if I can hit him well, I can only answer that it is difficult."

(In my case, I hit it quite well from the beginning...)

 Ray muttered privately, but knowing that it was because of Zepyle's own physical performance, he kept silent.

"Then this would be my favorite... first of all, I'll throw a spear from here and kill one.One of the remaining two animals is knocked down by Seto making a surprise attack from high up in the air.And the other one -- either Fluorocarbons or Brasso -- will ride on Seto's back and launch a surprise attack on the other one with Seto."
"What!"
"Are you serious?"

 Fluorocarbons and Blaso exclaim at Ray's suggestion.No wonder he was told to get on the back of the Gryphon.
 But it is also true that it is most likely to defeat the watchman, Harpy.When they decide so, they talk with their eyes and try to force each other to act as a surprise.But...

"Fluorocarbons are the raiders,"

 Ray's words easily determine the role of the surprise attack.

"Wait a minute! Why do you decide on me without any questions and answers?"

 Fluorocarbons grasp Ray's shoulders with all their might, even though he is deft enough to make sure Harpy doesn't hear him from afar.Next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been saved.

"Calm down, for a simple reason.Regardless of its ethnic power, the Fluorocarbons, would be better suited to a surprise attack on Sett's back from above."
"Well, that's true, but I don't know what to do with it, I don't know,"
"Do you want me to take over, then? I don't mind it at all.I mean, is it okay for Seto to put me on his back? It's said that the dragon knights I hear often never put me on his back except for his partner."
"Grull".

 Let's just leave it to him and he'll sing in the back of his voice.
 From Seto's point of view, putting others on your back is not such a special act.

"Then, is 儂 just waiting here with Ray?"

 He shook his head at the muttered Brasso's words, and handed him a spear from the mistling."Ray?"
"My throwing and Sett's surprise attack will certainly knock down the two harpies.But Fluorocarbons are on Sett's back... or is it the first time you've ever flown in the air?"
"Of course! I can't have such an experience so easily!"

 Fluorocaron yells at Ray's words again in a low voice.

"So, just in case, prepare Blaso for throwing with this spear at any time.If the surprise attack on Fluorocarbons fails, aim for it with one or more of this rather than just being called for support."
"Wait a minute.You want me to aim at Harpy, who has failed the raid... then I'll be right next to the target that Brasso is aiming at! And it's Brasso, who has hardly thrown a spear at him, is Ray telling me to die?"
"... in that respect I can only say that if we fail in the raid, we should leave Harpy at once."
"Oh, my God.OK. ... Blaso.If you get it right on me, you'll have to give up drinking for three months."
"Well... well..."

 I want to say something back, but I feel like I'm going to get it right, but I'm sure I'll die after three months of abstinence, even though a few days of abstinence is deadly tough.Feeling this dilemma, he never complains and finally receives a spear from Ray.

"Why, it's a very cheap spear for Ray's,"

 Blasso muttering, touching the spear which was handed to him.It is probably because Dwarves, who once aimed to become a blacksmith, demonstrated his true character that he could tell what the spear was like with just a little touch.

"It belongs to the robbers who beat me in the rank-up exam.I understand that the quality is poor, or rather, if the spear was of an unusually good quality, it would be impossible to throw away."
"No, throwing spears are usually lighter, and using short spears is common.In the first place, a bow and arrow are superior as a shooting weapon."
"But the bow and arrow will cover both hands, and I'm not proud of it, but with my strength I can give you as much power as a blow."

 With a spear in his hand, he turned his gaze to one of the harpies.

"Set will launch a surprise attack on one of the people near the entrance of the cave... you see, on the right."
"Glu".
"The man in charge of the fluorocarbon is on the left at the entrance."
"Oh, well, I see.You've only got to be hungry!"

 Fluorocarbon nods half as if it were a mess.
 Blasso murmurs as he looks at the fluorocarbon.

`It's normal for adventurers with experience such as Akebono to give instructions when they said.
"Don't tell me. It's wrong to have Ray with the newcomers around there in the first place."

 At the same time as he breathes, Fluorocarbons come closer to Seto, perhaps determined.

"Seto, I've never been on the back of a monster like you.Well, I'm not used to it, but... is that all right?"
"Grull".Seto sings in the back of his throat as if telling him to leave it to him.

"Well, I'll go with Seto, and... I'll leave Harpy, who's far away."
"Oh, I forgot to say...It's just a surprise attack."

 Fluorocarbons pat Ray on the head wrapped in hoods.

"I know.You don't have to worry so much about everything.It's a surprise attack, so you tell me to knock it down without speaking or letting it come out."
"...I'm sorry, but you've been an adventurer for longer than I am, so don't you know that much?"

 Ray mutters, but he has only been in Gilmoo for a few months, and his adventurous career has only been a few months.
 Normally, it's still normal to be around Rank F.

"Well, I'll show you the skill of a man's skill.Let's go, Seto."
"Glu".

 Seto sings in the back of his throat and goes back the way he came with Fluorocarbons.returned to a place where Harpy could not find the scene of his flight.
 He saw her back and watched Harpy hiding in the trees and bushes.After about five minutes, Blaso suddenly opened his mouth.

"Ray,"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No, it's not something unusual.... well, if you'd like it.Wouldn't you like to remain a shattered warrior after this request?"

 Brasso looks at Ray in a still and serious manner.

"Isn't it extraordinary?"
"Yes, you are smart and judgmental.It goes without saying that it's combat power.There's a set, too."
「……」
"But you can't say that you're going to work solo forever, can you? It might make sense because you're still in the D rank now, but with your ability, your rank should rise to C, B, and A before long.If I were solo then... you know what I mean, right?"

(It is true that they can be associated with each other in some way at ease....as for liquor.but...)

 He hesitated inside, and then opened his mouth.

"Well, when I have finished this request, I will answer it."

 For the time being, I had decided to put it on the shelf.

"... well, that's all right.He's here more than that."

 Perhaps because of his unique ability, his gaze is directed toward the dark night sky.
 I looked over there, and saw a set flying in the sky above the night sky.and Ray could see a fluorocarbon clinging to his back.
 Ray's body, made by Zepyle, breaks such a common sense very easily, even though ordinary people cannot see it in the dark at night.
 From Ray's behavior, he realized that he had the same night vision as himself, but now he is preparing to throw a spear in one hand without saying anything in particular, perhaps to concentrate on a surprise attack.
 Next to him, Ray was also ready to throw a spear at any time..."Here it is!"

 With Brasso's voice, Seto's sharp forefeet, which had glided silently, shattered Harpy's head, while Fluorocarbons, with the force to jump off his back, shook his sword down at Harpy's head.
 As expected, it seemed impossible to control the posture in the air, and although Harpy, who was targeted by Fluorocarbons, was cut from the neckline to the body with a sword and died without death.

"Screech!"

 The last one standing far away.the moment that one of the harpies was about to turn around and ask what had happened.The tip of a spear that Ray had thrown with all his might destroyed his head and scattered the brains and bodily fluids in it.
