Two monsters were now flying off the coast of Emosion, bathed in the spring sunshine from the sky.
　Gryphon's set, Icebird's Shen. Ray straddles Seto's back as usual, but Hendeka, who tamed Shen, is nowhere to be seen.
　No wonder, the ice bird shen is only about a meter long. If that happens, it is natural that Hendeka wearing leather armor cannot be put on board.
　It's true that Hendeca's presence here is of little consequence as long as he has no means of attack against Lem Race in the sea.

(though it would have been nice if you could give instructions to Shen.)

"Kiss!"
"Grull".

　Ray, flying in the sky, looks at Shen, who is having a conversation with Seto.
　I've been talking to Seto, the glyphon, many times, perhaps because there's no Hendeca to give instructions.
　However, Seto doesn't seem to have any intention of doing anything about Shen, so he is dealing with her with her with a squeal.

"...oh. Well, I don't know what the effect of Shen's presence is."

　Whispering, I turn my gaze to the harbor.
　There, several ships were seen leaving while Ray was attracting Remrace.
　Then, the next moment, Ray senses Sett's body being tilted.

"I want to come! Shen, look for a REM race! Seto will try to avoid it as usual!"
"Kiss!"
"Gruly!"

　Shen and Sett nod, while Ray takes the death size from the mistling and prepares to intercept the seawater spear at any time.
　At the next moment, sea spears pierced the space where Seto had been until just a few seconds ago, and two, three, four new sea spears were created in succession, forming the shape of Seto.

"Set, to the right!"

　As a REM race, he's probably gotten used to fighting Sett many times in the last few days. The sea spear, which appears from the right as if it had been read to avoid Seto, bends wide and is released with the tip of its tip of the spear.
　The attack would certainly have worked. Or if he had made a large amount of seawater spears as if to block Set's escape route, he might have been able to do damage before he was knocked down. However, it is only in the case of Seto. There is Ray on the back of the present Set...

"Huh!"

　With his voice, a death-size blade destroys the seawater spear that was about to pierce the set with one blow.
　He took back the dead-size momentum, killing it, and quickly turned his gaze from Seto's back to the surface of the sea level.
　Ray's view of the sea remained the same, and, of course, no one could see the REM race.

"Squeak, squeak?"

　Shen may also not be able to find the Rem race any more than Ray. With a shrill cry, she looks around in bewilderment.
　When Ray sees it like that, he suddenly finds himself uncomfortable.

(Only Seto is being attacked by sea spears...?)

　When I looked around calmly, I found out that the tip of the sea spear was the only thing I could see. Sheen, who flies in the same way near Seto, is not the target of attack at all.
　Of course, as long as he is flying next to Seto, he is not under attack at all, but what the sea spear is aiming for is Seto.

(Why? I always thought they were aiming first at someone who was flying, but the difference between Set and Shen is that they are real monsters and monsters created by witchcraft, but are they sensing it by any means?)

　While Ray wonders, Seto flies endlessly through the sky to avoid the attack of sea spears.
　If they do the same thing for days, they will both get used to it, and the sea spear's trajectory will be sharper than before, and Seto will avoid it with minimal movement. and when countless spears are approaching as if it were a saturation attack...

"Fly off!"

　A sledgehammer flies from Ray's death size and cuts several seawater spears together to make an exit and escapes with Shen.
　At the edge of Ray's vision, several ships leave as if it were not yet, and he continues to avoid the spears of seawater to gain time while watching them.
　It's not that I haven't done anything in the meantime. They try to find the enemy out into the sea, or to knock the flames down to the surface of the sea, but Remrace seems to be unbearable and produces and delivers a spear of seawater.

"With nothing like this, I have no idea where you really are...!"

　Desize again on the back of the slanted set to avoid the sea spear coming in, breaking several sea spears.
　Ray had been responding to the attack from the sea for a while, but soon found another ship moving away from the harbor.
　The ship's owner, or captain, would have taken the opportunity to leave port when Ray was fighting. Of course, Ray has received this request personally, and as long as it is not a request through a guild or anything to do with the city of Emosion, no one can complain about it.

(That would lower the trust required of the merchant.)

　The ship that has just left port is probably the one that has come in the last few days. I had heard from the captain who hired Ray that some ships had done this out of spite of their own money, but they ended up going back to the harbor because of trouble, and then they were rumored to have tried to buy safety with other people's money.
　That's when Sett slanted away the spear of the sea, thinking like that. When I see something unexpected, I stop thinking with a moment of surprise.
　The ship was right in front of Ray's eyes. However, it was not the first ship to hire Ray or take advantage of it. It was a ship bought by adventurers who had previously been involved in Ray.

"Why, are you trying to make me do the trick and find the REM race for you?"

　One tongue. At the same time, the dead size breaks the spears of the seawater.
　One of the adventurers on the ship's deck suddenly turns to Ray, though he may not have heard the clapping.
　Of course, as long as it's this distance, it's not always possible to meet Ray from a man anyway. But Ray could still see a look of derision in the man's eyes as he looked up firmly.

"Ki? Kiki!"

　Shen probably also noticed a man with a bird's peculiar eye on him with a mockery directed at Ray. give an exciting shrill cry
　Of course it's not funny as Ray. However, it is true that Ray and the men are only rivals, as long as Ray is not cooperating with the adventurers on the ship. That being the case, it was natural in a way to use it.

(But... it's only a bet.)

"Roll-rolling.

　The sea spear, stretched to the height of the cet, bends at right angles and comes straight through.
　The spear is avoided by flapping its wings and spiraling the seawater spear itself under Ray's weight control.
　If Ray hadn't held onto Sett's torso firmly with his feet, he probably would have fallen off Sett's back. But Ray and Sett still get through the attack, working hand in hand. In addition, since Lemrace was aiming only at Seto, Shen was lucky enough to be out of the range of the sea spear and kept a distance from Seto.
　Then Sett escapes from the attack of the sea spear as he rotates the barrel roll, and turns his head half-rotating on the spot, flaps his wings, and turns his head again toward the sea spear, and at the same time Ray turns his eyes into the sea.

"Oh, wow, wow!"
"Close the hole! It's going to sink!"
"If you're going to say that, go and block it first."
"d*mn it! I'll go to the bottom of the ship, and you'll be on guard!"

　I hear a voice like that.
　Needless to say, the voice came in the direction the adventurers were on board. He was scrambling to get first aid, perhaps because of a hole in the ship's bottom caused by Remrace's attack on Ray, but it still seemed a matter of time before he sank.
　He glanced at the noisy adventurers, and set himself up again with Sett, so that the spears of the sea might come at any time."
　After about 30 seconds, he realized that the next attack would not come, and stored his death size in a mistling.

`Well, that's all for today,' ...after all, I still can't get the true identity of Remrace today. I think we need to come up with some fundamental measures.""Hey, Ray! Help us if you can fly!"

　Earlier, a man who looked derisively at Ray screams at Seto floating in the sky... more accurately at Ray from the sea.

"Glu?"

　a set of voices that sound like one is going to do something like, "what are you going to do?"
　With his eyes fixed on the sinking ship, Ray breathes a little sigh and opens his mouth.

"For now, head for that ship,"
"Grull!"

　Ray's words make Seto cry, flapping his wings toward the sinking ship, and Ray calls out to the adventurers on the back of Seto, who floats right beside the ship.

"Even if you ask me to help you, I'm the only one who can ride a set, and I'm the only one who can weigh as much as a girl or a child. It's impossible to carry a man as well built as you, and armed with armour and arms."
"Oh! Then why are you here! What!? You came here to get back to me because we tried to outdo you said.
"You called me, didn't you?" Don't you think it's strange to come to the scene where I'm being attacked by a REM race and ask me to help you if you're hurt by it?"
"Do you know! Help us!"
"... Phew. All right. Wait a minute. I'm going to call the party that has the magic item ship now. If there are two or three magic item ships, you can get on board."

　At Ray's suggestion, the adventurers on the spot breathe a sigh of relief.
　But soon one of them calls out to Ray.

"Wait a minute," If we hear that now, wouldn't it be possible to transfer from one ship to another?"
"Oh, of course," It's already sinking in the first place."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! How much money do you think it cost to buy this ship!? I'm afraid I can't imitate throwing it away easily!"
「……」

　Other adventurers on board, besides Ray, were dumbfounded at the remark.
　In fact, Ray may have been lucky enough to have only one person to say such nonsense.

"Oh... I see. Then why don't you stay on this ship? I'm not going to force myself to help you, so do as you please. For now, I'll call a party with a magic item ship, so prepare only those who are willing to escape. If you insist on remaining like that man, that's fine."
"Oh, yes,"

　Even for adventurers, Ray signals Seto, listening to some bewildering reply, perhaps unexpected.

"Set, please."
"Ringling!"
"Wait a minute! You ought to help us, but promise to pay compensation for sinking this ship!"
"Do you know, fool?" Why should I compensate you for coming all the way to a dangerous place with me as my own? Then shall I charge you five gold coins for calling for this rescue?"
"Buck!"

　Perhaps he took Ray's words seriously, but the other adventurers took several of them to task for reparations.

"Don't worry! This guy has a habit of accepting delusions as his own reality for a long time. Of course, I won't claim any compensation, so call for help!"

　As he evades the Lem Race attack, an adventurous man who is looking derisively at Ray exclaims in a flurry.
　Even a man is desperate in a way, because if he is abandoned here, he might be drowned.
　Even though it's not far from the harbor, it's no use being told if you can swim back in armor or something.

"Well, that's all right. Then I'll call for help at once, so get ready. -- don't let me have any strange sleep-talk."

　Tell them so and head for the Magic Item Ship, which is a short distance away.
　Fortunately, the ship seemed to be sinking from its location a little further away, and as several magic item ships had begun to move for rescue, the adventurers on board the ship who were about to sink without any difficulty were rescued safely.
　The adventurer, who had been clamoring for reparations until the end, was the first to escape from the sinking ship with his companions in mind, and from then on he left the city of Emosis as soon as possible, unable to bear the cold glances of the other adventurers.
