"I'm glad the weather is nice."
"Glu".

　Seto answers Ray's voice with a croak.
　Seth is now flying about half an hour away from the city of Gilm, with the spring sun shining softly from the sky.
　There must be a warm breeze on the ground, but unfortunately Ray and Sett are flying in the sky, so the wind blows hard when it comes to the wind.
　Where Ray and Sett are heading right now is on their way to the port city of Emocion to get the magic stone after defeating the money-head monster heard from the guildmaster Marina the day before.
　Maybe it's because it's too early in the morning, but the only creatures you can see around you are ordinary animals like birds. I could see the adventurers moving on the ground for a while after flying out of the city of Gillum, but after half an hour at Seto's speed I was already far from them.

"Look, Seto. It seems to take a few days to get to Emosion, so let's take our time. I feel like sightseeing because I can also relax my bones."

　mutter, take the sandwich out of the mistling, and give it to the set who turned around.

"Grull?"

　A set chirping in the back of the throat while eating the sandwich. His round eyes turned to Ray as if to say, "May I take my time?"
　You must have understood Seth's idea. Ray opens his mouth, caressing Seto slowly on the neck.

"Of course it may be a problem to be too slow, but the head of the prize money is off the coast and never comes up to earth. I don't think there's anyone else besides us who can beat us that much. either by carrying the adventurers on board the ship, or by direct fire from the harbour."

　Ray says so, but still thinks it will be difficult.

(The ship is not very maneuverable, and if it is targeted directly at the bottom of the ship, it cannot be dealt with.) On the other hand, if you use a small boat that can make small turns, it will capsize as soon as the waves are created in the sea. The most likely way to defeat it is to shoot large-scale magic directly into the sea from the harbor, but most magic will be shielded by seawater. The rest is the magic of water, but I don't know how this works either.)

　After thinking that far, I realize that my current thoughts apply to me and Seto, and I breathe out without thinking.
　Since Ray is good at the magic of fire, he is very bad at dealing with monsters like this in the sea in terms of limited means of attack.

"What seems to work with me is Seto's Wind Arrow and Tornado? The king's intimidation is still low, so I don't think it's going to work against such a high-ranking monster. Water polo is out of the question... oh, if you think of it, poison nails are the most effective?"
"Grull!"

　A set of sandwiches that finish and let them go.

Corrosion... in my case is a monster, so I don't think it's possible to use it because it' As for wind hands, can we combine them with Seto's Wind Arrow and Tornado? The rest are flying and power slashes. If you hit these two directly... directly? directly? I see, there's a way to do it."
"Glu?"

　Ray opens his mouth, caressing Seto's back, asking, "What's wrong?"

"As long as you're in the sea, the magic of fire will certainly be less effective, but if the magic of fire doesn't work from outside, you just have to burn it from inside. in "The Flame Snake of Dance and

　Ray believes that the magic of throwing a death-size stone into the enemy's body and releasing the flame snake into the enemy's body is "dancing flame snake" and it is effective against enemies in the sea like this.

"Guru... Guru?"

　Seto nodded so much as to say Ray's words, but suddenly turned his eyes sharply to the ground in front of him.
　It's probably because it's off the road there... No, it's off the road. A group of about 30 people surrounded two travelers or adventurers, and the battle was about to begin.

"Grull?"

　When Set asks, "What are you going to do?" Ray thinks for a few seconds.
　Normally, you don't have to worry about who is attacked by thieves. Well, since you travel far from these roads, you can say that you've got your own fault. Even if they are attacked by thieves, they probably don't go down the road because they have the confidence to defend themselves.
　But...

"It's delicious to hunt thieves."

　The robbers' hideout, which had been knocked down during the rank-up examination, had a large store of weaponry. There were no magic items that Ray was collecting, but weapons... especially spears that could be used for throwing, were no problem for Ray as long as there was a mystery ring. And, above all, Ray's reason for being able to hunt for thieves comfortably is that even if he knocks them down, no one will be in trouble.

"It's not a problem to have money,"

　Emosion, the largest port in the kingdom of Milliana, is, in other words, the largest trading port. It's true that you have the money to buy an unknown magic item to go to such a place.

"So let us help him who is a little attacked by robbers."
"Glu".

　After nodding to Ray's words, Seto flaps his wings as he heads to the earth... the next moment Ray's eyes on his back are wide open with surprise.

"Oh, my God! Death!"

　One of the two men Ray believes is being attacked by a thief, wielding a huge weapon and attacking the bandits surrounding themselves.
　They're probably looking for both mobility and defense. He wears armor that looks like a combination of leather and metal, and the axe is in his hand with a long handle. It's a weapon called Paul Ax.

`Don't be so careless!'

　The woman behind the man who ran in wields her weapon against the thief who was about to go around behind him.
　There was a sound like a crack in the air, and the next moment there was a sound like something had exploded.

`Oh, my God!'

　At the same time, a man who was about to attack Paul Ax rolls screaming around the ground.
　He was armed with leather armour, though he was armed with shoddy weapons and protective gear, as a thief. However, the woman's weapon struck the point at the unarmed spot, ripping the skin and bursting the meat. Yes, by a whip with a sharp spine at the tip.

"Oh, my God! I'll tell you who they attacked, and I'll thank you and die!"

　Paul Ax, wielded with a man's shout, easily breaks the blade of a long sword that the thief immediately offered to defend himself and cuts off his head.

"Oh, you've got a lot of skill,"

　Watching the conversation, Ray muttered with admiration.
　An axe, even though it has a blade, is basically a weapon to crush. He had a longer handle than the axe, and instead of crushing his neck, he had slashed it off using an awkward Paul Ax. As far as Ray could see, there was no doubt that he was a pretty good person.

"But when you're in a place like this...Is it a territorial fight between thieves?"

　Ray thought so for a moment, but he changed his mind when he saw a big bag lying beneath the feet of a woman who was attacking the robbers' faces with a whip.

"An adventurer or a traveler," -- well, you're an adventurer."
"Glu?"

　a set of questions with one's head turned back
　If a merchant or an ordinary traveler is attacked, he can hunt for thieves that Ray has been trying to do. But the one fighting now is probably the same adventurer as Ray. In this case Ray could have been considered a member of the bandits if he approached poorly.
　That's what I was thinking, but...

"Well, you there don't look like them, do you? Then I'd like you to help me a little by little!"The whipping woman asks if she sees Seto flying in the sky.
　Ray is doubly surprised by her behavior.
　First of all, the set flies about 20 meters from the ground, not something you would normally notice during a battle. and secondly, if he could distinguish himself, it was obvious at a glance that he was a glyphon, and yet he called out without fear.

"... It's interesting."

　I was beginning to fall on the path of neglect, but I became interested in the woman who spoke to me -- not as a woman -- and I signaled to Seto and went down to earth.

"You know, I thought it was strange that a glyphon should appear in such a place, but was it tamed?"

　When she saw Sett landing on the ground without a sound, she muttered, waving her whip.
　I suppose you're trying to be friendly with meek. He was speaking to Ray with a smile, but the whip was so ragged that he could gouge the robbers' eyes, cut their throats, and have them play the flesh of their arms, hurting them with astonishing cruelty.
　Also, in front of the woman, a man with Paul Ax wielded his weapons as if it had nothing to do with the robbers' armor and shields, and both his armor and weapons were cutting off the robbers.
　The force of a single shot can be tremendous, such as those who are cut off in the body, those who are cut off in the neck, or those who are cut off vertically in the head.

(It's not as good as Elk, but it's better than Arla.)

　Ray comes to mind and concludes by thinking of his acquaintance as a Battleax messenger.
　There is still no sign of Ray and Sett's enthusiasm for battle, perhaps because they can't hear a woman's voice.
　The robbers noticed Ray and Sett... more precisely, and were trying to escape from the scene as soon as possible, but the woman couldn't forgive them, and one whip after another, they aimed, smashed, and ripped at the ligaments and knees of the opponent who turned their backs.

"You're not an ordinary traveler, of course, when you're taming the Gryphon?"
"Oh, it's Ray, an adventurer in the city of Gillum,"
"The city of Gilmoo!? What are you doing from such a far away place?"

　They probably don't understand Seto's speed. With a momentary stunned look on her face, the woman turns to Ray, and the whiplash hits the thief's crotch and angers him.

"... Oh, my God. I didn't mean to attack such a dirty place. I mean, if you're a thief, be prepared to come and see me! If you're just a garbage bug and you're dirty, you shouldn't be. You think so too, right? Well, it was Ray. My name is Miloir. Egret is a reckless rampage over there. Thank you very much."

　muttering, Miloire whipped the thief to death, as did the man called Egret.
　If Egrett slashed Paul Ax to the side, the bandits were killed in groups or, at best, were seriously injured and rolled to the ground. In terms of cruelty, Egrett would still have been better off in a single shot.

"Egrett to Miloire?" So we came here because we thought we were being attacked by thieves. From this perspective, it didn't seem necessary. I'll ask you just in case, do you need any help?"

　Ray thinks for a few seconds and breaks the man's ankle as he tries to run away with the whip again.
　Miloire nods softly as he sees the thief lying on the ground.

"Well, I'll welcome you if you're willing to help me because I'm so bad at prolonging the fight here that I'm attracted to the smell of blood and being attacked by monsters."
"Then half a share is enough?"
"...share? They don't have anything particularly valuable, as you can see."

　At Ray's voice, Miloir bends his head slightly. The appearance may be rather adorable, but if you see the tip of the whip in your hand wet with blood, you'll feel only a certain kind of fear because of its imbalance.

　Watching Miloire like that, Ray opens his mouth as he takes his death-size out of the mystery ring.

"If you go to the robber's hideout, of course you'll be stockpiling your treasures and supplies."

　Miroir and the robbers, dumbfounded by Ray's words.
　Or maybe he wasn't dumbfounded by Ray's words, but rather surprised by the huge sickle taken out of the mystery ring, but it didn't matter to Ray.

"Let's go, Set!"
"Gurgling!"

　Rae's loud voice makes Seto attack, spreading his wings, and Ray also runs toward the bandits with Desize in his hand.
