"Well, after all, today was a waste of time..."

　Ray muttering while lying on the bed in the Coral Tei room in Hekkai.
　a rem race that is the head I couldn't find it, and today it took a lot of extra time and effort, such as the adventurers who had been trying to look for Remrace with Ray and Sett in their arms, and helping the ship sink when it was attacked by sea spears.
　Eventually he took the Magic Item ship to a sinking ship as a rescue, and returned to the harbor with Shen of Icebird to hand over a silver coin of reward to Hendeca and back to the inn.

"If things go on like this, it will only be a symptomatic treatment, so something needs to be fundamentally changed..."

　I know that, but I don't know how to fundamentally change it, so I sigh again.
　Lem racing has done little damage in recent days. More precisely, ships leaving the harbor have suffered zero damage, but several ships entering the harbor have been sunk.
　Fortunately, tomorrow is not the only time I've been asked to do anything about it. But he doesn't know how to do it and worries Ray.

"It would be nice if it was a magic item to find some invisible enemy..."

　While exhaling, develop a list of items stored in the mistling in your mind. I'll check if there's anything I can use.

"Is there anything I can use in this case?"

　A sighing Ray, looking over the list.
　But then... suddenly I realized that there was a magic item.
　More precisely, the person who gave me the item.
　He is a rich man who has lived from the same age as Zepyle, who was fused with Ray, and he is as powerful as Ray can be today. To be exact, Ray would have been ahead of him in terms of magic, but he is far ahead in terms of technology, such as how to operate it.
　Unlike Ray, who can only use the magic of fire at the same time, he is an authentic monster who uses spatial magic, space-time magic, and spirit magic.

"...I don't really want to rely on you very much..."

　Still, as long as there's no other way, we can't help it, and we take the item out of the mistling.
　A magic item called Pair of Obes, which is about the size of a fist and allows you to talk to someone who has the other crystal that is connected magically.
　As soon as the crystal is gripped, the magic glows away, and the next moment the crystal shows a skull in a crown.

'Oh, this crystal... Ray? It's been a long time.'

　As Rich approaches her with a funny smile, Ray also replies.

"Oh, it's been a long time, hasn't it?
"Is it any trouble to contact 儂? Of course, it's just for the sake of small talk, so I'm very welcome."

　Grimm's rich face is too bone to read. And even if he has flesh or skin and facial expressions, Ray says he doesn't think he can compete with Grimm, who has lived in a long time, in his belly art.

"Actually, Emocion is in town right now. Do you know?"
'Well, that's what we call the gateway to the kingdom of Mileana. Even though I am absorbed in research, I know the extent to which it is true.'
"In the city of Emocion, a monster now called Remrace is sitting off the coast and a prize is being awarded by the upper echelon of the city."
"Oh? Did you go there for the prize?"

　a beam of laughter as one shivering jawbone
　Maybe it's because he's rich. Ray shakes his head, feeling something cold running down his spine, even though he's not seeing him in person.

"I'd certainly like to get a prize if I could, but my main aim is the magic stone. for Set, as Grimm knows."
『Well, I'm relieved that I'm still raising a set created by the art of the beast.』 If I had been told that I was only looking for money, I would have to ask my qualifications as a successor to Zepyle's will.'
"...I see,"

　It passes through Ray's mind that qualification could turn into an assassin.
　In fact, Ray understands Grimm's deep respect for the now-dead Zepyle, so that's not always the case.

『And did you say Rem race?』Unfortunately, 残念 doesn't know what kind of monster he is. Can I ask him what kind of monster he is?

　As Grimm asks, Ray shakes his head silently.

"I'm going to use this pair of oves to find out,"
"Well? Can you tell me more about it?"
"First of all, I don't know if it's magic or a unique ability of a tribe, but I have the ability to attack seawater by manipulating it like a spear or tentacle."
Water magic for a monster in the sea...or is it magic now. It's not so unusual to use the magic of water."
"If you think of the water around you, you can't take advantage of it. And most of all, one of the most distinctive features is that you have no idea where you are."
'You don't know where he is?'

　Grimm inquires suspiciously at Ray's words. Even Rich, who has lived for thousands of years, must have been unexpected.
　But Ray opens his mouth, sighing at Grimm'

"That's literally what it means." As long as it's true that they're being attacked, there's no doubt that there's a monster named Remrace. But I can't see it anywhere. That's enough to convince me that I'm using magic from somewhere far away."
"Is it a monster off the coast of Emocion? Is it underwater?
"I thought so, too. I couldn't find it in the sea at least within sight. The surrounding seas are so transparent that we can see up to a certain point, but if we can't, there's a good chance that there's a REM race near the seabed, and they're attacking from there."
'If you know that, I think there is something you can do about it?'
"I can't. What I'm good at is the magic of fire, and there's very little effective way against enemies in the sea. Even if you throw a spear, it won't reach the seabed at all, even if it's shallow, and even if it's delivered, it'll have little power."

　Ray, who seemed helpless, let out a sigh.
　Grimm was looking over the crystal at Ray's appearance with some interesting atmosphere, but soon he realized that Ray's gaze was fixed upon him.

"What's the matter? Look at me with scary eyes."
"Don't you think it's funny.
'Well, what shall I do?' But if that's the case, shall I help you?'

　Ray's cheek twitches at Grimm's words.

"What exactly can you do for me?"
"Well, that's enough to destroy and undead all living creatures off the coast of Emocion."
"Don't do that,"

　an almost reflexive ray

"If that were to happen, that would be the destruction of the city of Emosion."
'Well, let's see. It's true that since he's rich, he's best at psychic magic. Then space magic is safe.'

　a grimm who tells Ray off the hook They probably didn't intend to flood the waters off Emocion with undeads from the beginning.
　Knowing this, Ray thinks he's been teased and breathes again.

"Propose that from the beginning." and what can space magic do?"
'Well... to put it simply, it's about finding the REM race and forcing it to move to a particular place by spatial magic.'
"...what?"Ray asks back unexpectedly.
　How can Ray damage his enemies in the sea, who is good at attacking them with flames, or how can he find them before that? It would be strange not to be surprised to hear that Ray could easily manage the difficulty that had been plaguing him for a while.

"Is that possible?"
'Well, it's possible or impossible. However, there are many preconditions.'
"Prerequisite?"
'Well, for example, depending on the size of the object, it takes a great deal of magic to force it to metastasize. Also, there is a problem with the distance that can be transferred, so it cannot be transferred that far from the city of Emosion. Furthermore, since the monster needs to be knocked down by the owner, it cannot be transferred to the night when the monster becomes violent, so it has to be done in the daytime. In that case, naturally, rich 儂 also loses his ability… No, as long as it's undead, it's more vulnerable than ordinary monsters, so I want you to think that once you transfer it, you won't be able to help. Especially, as I said earlier, 儂 is best at psychic magic, and spatial magic can only be used to some extent.'

　Listening to the disturbing elements that come out of Grimm's mouth, Ray frowns and opens his mouth.

"Then wouldn't it be quicker for Grimm to knock me down?"
"'Stupid!'

　an angry voice echoing over a crystal Ray is overwhelmed not by magic but by the power of Rich, who has lived for thousands of years.

"Don't you think it's pathetic that those who inherit the will and power of Zepyle should seek help from him at this level? No, let alone help him set the stage for battle with spatial magic, but leave everything to him... that's how he can really make Zepyle a demon beyond the fenrills that Zepyle created in the art of the beast?"
"Well... I see. It's different to leave everything to Grimm, if you will help me."

　He pauses for a moment and nods immediately to Grimm's rebuke.

"Okay, so let's leave it to him to call out a REM race... or can he find one in the first place?"
"""That's not that difficult for 儂, so I'm relieved."""
"…I had a hard time there." What have I been through so far...
"That's only with the magic of a kite, which has been studied for many years. Anyway, you can leave it to me, but there are other problems that need to be solved."
"Is it a problem to be solved?"
"Well, you know that she can't show up?"
"Well, I suppose so,"

　If Rich was to emerge above the coast of Emosion, it was certain that there would be a stir. That's enough to forget the existence of REM races.
　Even Ray can predict that much, so he nods a little in Grimm's words.

『Then, when 儂 transfers a REM race by spatial magic, 『someone』 has to be there instead of 儂. and the only one who can do it is the Lord who knows about 儂."
"... I see,"

　Rey nods that if the Rem race suddenly disappears without warning, it will be another uproar.

'And you have to leave someone where you sent a REM race in space magic. Do you understand this again?'
"Oh, I don't mind if you use spatial magic to force it to metastasize, but if you leave it as it is, it's going to rampage at the metastasized destination or move in search of the sea."
'Well, therefore, there is no doubt that we need someone who can restrain the REM race until Ray gets there.'

　That's what Grimm tells me, but I can hardly think of any face in the city of Emocion to help me.
　Of course, if you call out to a bunch of adventurers around the city, everyone will follow Ray's suggestion. But in that case, it is certain that Ray will demand his share, which makes it difficult for Ray to take possession of magical stones and materials.

(I hope you'll be satisfied with just the prize money... the larger the number, the smaller the share. If that happens, some people will be complaining. It is desirable to have a few sharp people in that regard."

　What struck Ray's mind was the temporary hendeca he hired today. But it soon disappears.
　Surely Hendeca's personality made him friendly, and Seto was also friendly to Hendeca's Timmonster, Icebird. However, given that he is only ranked D in terms of ability, it is impossible to leave the REM race to Ray until he gets to the field.

(I wish there were at least a few more skilled adventurers...)

　Ray muttered it in private.
　Suddenly I hear a violent run down the corridor from outside the room.
　and the sound of footsteps reached Ray's room...

"Oh, Ray! We've arrived as promised! You haven't knocked down the prize-winning monster yet!"
"Hey, Egret. Knock at least!"

　The door is opened without saying anything inside, and two people appear.
　a warrior-like man with Paul Ax on his back and a whip on his waist.
　It was there that Ray met rank B adventurers Egrett and Miloire on their way to the city of Emocion.
