"Oh, it's too much trouble!"
"Giggle!"

　A large, sharp, death-sized blade cuts the torso of three goblins together.
　the blood and organs of goblins scattered around Then, frowning uncomfortably at the steam rising from them, he turns his eyes to the husta fighting nearby.
　where he avoided the rusty dagger, and the next moment the thrusting Estock's edge was thrust swiftly into the goblin's forehead, and the next moment it was drawn swiftly. The sequence of movements gives a feeling of familiarity.

"Oh, you're a Rank D adventurer. He's quite a fighter."

　mutter in admiration, and turn to his partner, Seto, judging that Hasta would not need any help.

"Gurgling!"
"... I suppose,"

　What was unfolding there was already a one‐sided travesty rather than a battle.
　Seth destroys the rusty spear, which Goblin desperately wields, with just one swing of his forefeet. The stones thrown at them are not difficult to avoid for Seto, who flies freely in the sky. And Seto's blow easily takes the life of the Goblin.
　It took less than five minutes for a group of goblins who recklessly attacked Ray and his party to realize they had no chance of winning.





"I didn't expect the Goblin to strike me again.
"Well, I don't think it was guilded that we had a goblin."

　Ray and Hasta both breathe out and cut off the right ear of the site of proof of subjugation and remove the magical stone from their hearts.

"Meat... I don't want it." What about you?"
"As expected of me. Goblin meat doesn't taste good, does it? ...if this is at least delicious, it still has its own flavor. It's a tough match for adventurers because they're so fertile."
"It's fertile enough to convince you to think there are thirty if you see one."

　When it comes to corpses, they decide that as long as there are about ten goblins, other monsters will eat them and clean them up, leaving them there and walking back to where Gamerion appears.

"Is this your first time aiming for Gamerion?"

　Walking down the street, Ray visits Hasta, who is walking next to him, and shakes his head slightly."I've had several experience. I just want you to take me to another party then. This time I asked Ray to do it because I would not be able to receive more meat."
"I see. By the way, did any goblin appear at that time?"
"Well... I don't remember, but there are many different monsters in the direction of the Devil Forest." I think that's why there should be goblins."
"...I hope so,"
"Mr. Ray?"

　Husta asks back unconsciously if she felt uneasy about the muttering that Ray had left. But Ray shakes his head slightly, saying nothing.

(Yes, if there are many different monsters from the Devil Forest, it must be difficult for a goblin-sized monster to survive here... this vast prairie.) I'm afraid I was lucky enough not to be found by other monsters.)

　mutter in one's heart and continue one's conversation in a reassuring manner.

"By the way, may I ask you what other monsters appear in this meadow besides Gamerion?"
"Well, floating jellyfish also appear at this time of year."
"... Floating jellyfish?"
"Oh, I see. If you stayed in the mountains until you came to the town of Gilm, you wouldn't know if it was jellyfish."

　He tries to explain in a flurry, but Ray shakes his head slightly to stop it.

"No, I've read it in a book owned by my master. Is it a creature with tentacles growing from a transparent hat?"
"Well, that jellyfish is said to have somehow turned into a monster. Well, it's not that strong because it's a rank D monster. However, if you use the tip of your tentacles, you will feel numb, so please be careful. And I'm flying as the name suggests... in Ray's case, Seto is there, so I don't think that's a problem."
"Glu?"

　She's leaning her head behind the lays as if she's calling me.

"It's nothing. It's just that I'm sure you'll be there."Ray stroking Seto's head with a smile.
　In that way, two people and one person were chatting with each other while watching the surroundings, or beating the attacking monsters such as poison toads and phangbores, and harvesting materials, proof of subjugation, meat, and magical stones for a few hours. It eventually leads to dark green surroundings and long grassy areas.
　It was a curious sight to look at. Even though it is late autumn and winter is approaching, the grass grows green and not dead like the grasslands that we have walked on, and it is a scene that gives us the illusion that it is summer. However, even in the midsummer meadows, the surrounding temperature is definitely that of late autumn, and the fact that it is below 10 degrees Celsius makes me feel even more uncomfortable.

"This is..."
"It's strange, isn't it? It seems like there's some kind of magical interference in this area, and it's full of grass all year round."
"The Devil Forest?"

　Ray looks surprised because he didn't expect to hear the name of the place where he was born.
　It's only a few hours away from the Magic Forest to the city of Gilm even on Seto's wings, and a few days away on foot, so you can see how much influence the Magic Forest has.

"Yes, it seems so," Well, I've heard that that's the reason why Gamerion comes this far at this time of year, and it's not a bad thing for the inhabitants of the town of Gilm."
"No, is it okay? Leave the mysterious phenomenon as it is."
"Because there's nothing wrong with it. Wouldn't it be all right?"

(There may be a lot of inconveniences, but... you might want to look it up later. No, I can't feel the magic. Is it impossible for me to investigate? Then...)

　Passing Ray's mind at the time was Reno, an adventurer with a magical eye that could see magic directly.

(Of course, if you use your own abilities, you'll be asking for compensation...what should you do?)

"It's been a long time."
"Well, it's Husta, isn't it?" It's been a long time. You guys... Oh, I see. Yes, I understand."

　Ray, who was thinking inside, comes back to life with a voice of Husta.
　I looked over there, and there were about five adventurers there, Ray... or, to be exact, Seto, who stopped moving.
　And in the cart that some of the adventurers are pulling, there are dead bodies of some monsters.Long, supple tail, pure white fur, sharp ears and tusks. All of that matched the characteristics of Gamerion heard from Hasta.

(I see. Are these guys the adventurers for Gamerion?)

"…I thought I'd stop myself from challenging Gamerion alone. With the rumored Ray, surely the two of us have enough strength. I mean, when the Gryphon is there, he'll be at a loss."

　The first person muttered, and the others nodded as if they were in agreement with the words.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
"Well, I don't think you have to worry about it, as long as you have such a good adventurer as Ray, but I'll be very careful." Be careful. Like the Gamerion we beat, it was strangely belligerent. It's a little different from last year."
"Oh, I knew it. When I left the main gate, I heard that there were rare species... What? Did you mean you were going to stay overnight when we came here?"
"Oh, it's hard to find. I can't help it. Fortunately, I wasn't attacked by monsters during the night."

　Hahaha, the adventurers' laughter echoed around them.
　Still spending the night in this meadow near the Devil Forest, it would be clear that the men's party is reasonably competent.

"I don't think it's too dangerous, as there are still some other Gamerion parties scattered all over the grass."
"No, I told you that earlier,"

　Hasta responds to the leader, and smiles bitterly as if it were so.

"Well, let's say we're going back to the city of Gillum. It'll be a bother if other monsters come in because of the smell of blood."
"All right. Please be careful on the way.""Oh, ... can you give me a second?"

　The man who glances at Ray and calls him.

"I don't mind," What?"
"Well, you know. It might be unreasonable to ask you this, but look at Hasta carefully."

　It won't sound like a must you? a man muttering in Ray's ear

"He is certainly energetic and polite for an adventurer. But sometimes my family's feelings are too strong. Sometimes I run wild. Therefore, it would be helpful if you could take care of it."
"Just in case, he and I are ranked the same. He's a more experienced adventurer than I am."
"Oh, don't be silly. The only adventurers in the city of Gilmoo who don't know your abilities are those who have just come to town, or those who have just become adventurers and don't know right or left. You've built up such a track record. That's so funny that I'm still in the rank D. and he has the secret of the Gryphon."

　The man's voice is pure and honest, and he sincerely recognizes Ray's ability and speaks. Ray could tell that by looking straight at him.

(Hasta is much loved by veteran adventurers, isn't she?

　breathe out a small sigh and nod

"Well, I don't want to do anything to make the chef sad."
"Well, that will help. Well, I asked for your help."

　With a masculine smile, she slaps Ray on the shoulder, one head smaller than herself.

"What? What's wrong?"Husta sees such a man and Ray and asks him, but he shakes his head as if nothing was going on.

"It's a bit of a small talker. We're really about to go, then, and hunt very carefully!"

　At the end of the sentence, the men pulled their carts towards the city of Gilm.

"... well, shall we go at once?"

　Hasta muttered as she saw the five people off their backs. At the end of his gaze he was directed to the already lush meadow.
　He's probably only focused on his monster, Gamerion.

"Well, then let's go."

　Ray also nods in Hasta's words and walks into the grass with Seto.

"Ray, can you find the place where Gamerion is in the sky? Even if you don't fall it down, you have to find it first."
"Well, yes," Can I ask you, Seto?"
"Gruly!"

　They sing in the back of their throats just to leave it to them, and after a few steps of running, they run up into the air with wings fluttering from their backs.

"Wow... That's amazing."

　an exclamation husta staring at the figure from the ground
　For a mere rank D adventurer, it's no wonder that it's impossible to fly.
　Then, after about five minutes, Seto, who was flying in the sky, came down.

"Grull".

　As soon as he landed on the meadow, he gazed to the left and walked on like this.

"I think you've found it,"
"I can't believe I've found it in such a short time..."

　With a look of surprise, Hasta exclaims in admiration.
　Walking at the head of the party, Sett walks for about 20 minutes in the meadow, and then stops moving, turning his gaze to a small forest in the meadow.

"Are you sure there?"
"Glu".

　a quiet voice at Ray's words

『……』When Ray and Hasta look at each other, they nod small and shorten their distance from the forest so that they don't make footsteps. Hasta has already pulled out Estock so he can release a thrust at any time, and Ray also has a death size in his hand.
　and what the Lays saw as they went into the forest...

"Gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee...

　half dead... no, almost dead goblins and white monsters of about three meters devouring the internal organs of those goblins.
　Ray is familiar with the monster. I was looking at the monster's corpse in a cart just before I entered this meadow.
　a blade‐sharp ear, a tail of nearly one meter I can't confirm the fangs because it's from behind, but there's no doubt. Just as Ray tries to mention the monster's name, which is about three meters long, Hasta, who was next to him before that, mutters.

"Gamerion".
