"How about here?"

　Beyond Egrett's muttering gaze was a green meadow peculiar to this time of year, from spring to summer.
　Since it is located about half an hour away from the road, there are no other people around it except the Lays.
　Seeing the surroundings, Miloire must have been convinced, following Egrett. nod to Ray and ask him

"What do you think? I don't think I have a problem. It's far from the road, so you don't have to worry about getting the travelers involved."

　While talking to that extent, he continues with a small smile around his mouth.

"And here you don't have to worry about the break-in of the adventurers who are after the prize money or whatever."
"Well, I'm sure you don't have much to worry about, but I'm worried about having no idea how big the REM race is. I don't mind if I transferred it here, but of course I'd find a monster big enough to see it off the road."
"But if I say that, it's the same everywhere, isn't it? As long as I don't know the size of the REM race, I have to think that's acceptable."

　Egrett turns to Ray, listening to Hendeca responding to Miloire, who says it's OK here.

"Well, it's Ray who's in charge of this, so what's Ray's opinion?"
"I don't think I have any particular problem. I'm going to look around for a while after this, but I think this is the best candidate for now."

　It's located away from the highway, and it's hard to notice. Ray says gratifiedly, considering the surroundings are prairies, and the idea that attacking from above, like Seto and Shen, is advantageously.

"I didn't think I'd have to worry about breaking in, but I don't think this would be a problem."

　Ray nods, recalling the group that followed them some time ago.
　The group were not particularly worried as they were eventually attacked by monsters and could no longer follow them. However, it was not a mistake to take measures against intrusions, considering that it was only today, or that they might be targeted after tomorrow.

"But I'm not sure if he's going to interfere with the Lem Race because he's probably aiming for an item box."
"...so why don't you bother using item boxes all over the city?"

　Mumbling somewhat dumbfounded, Ray shrugs his shoulders and replies.

"It's nothing short of ridiculous to not be able to use useful magic items for fear of others. If you're going to do that, you just have to have a magic item from the start. I don't want to use magic items that can be used at least in fear of others."
"But that's what we might call for in groups?"
"Then all you have to do is reward him accordingly,"

　That's how much you say and grinning.

(though there is a good chance of being attacked by monsters, as they did before.)

　Since Ray's most sought-after object is a magical stone, it is often a dangerous place to go to to to fulfill his request. As long as you can't do things like assaults in the city, you have to come to Ray's place if you're going to attack them with item boxes. It would be self‐evident as to what would happen if that happened. Or, even if you defeat the monster, you will realize with regret that you don't have a nickname for Date if you touch Ray and Sett.
　And even though he may use anything other than the attack, Ray is under the patronage of Dusker, the Larkus frontier.
　If someone who ignores all of them reaches out to Ray, that's the last resort.
　That way, the Kingdom of Milliana will eventually lose the rare item box, the Gryphon of the Rank A Monster, and the rare talent of Rank C.

"Oh, Ray's got some bad looks on his face,"

　Egrett, looking at Ray's face, hastily opens his mouth to distract him from the subject.

"Anyway, let's look for this place as a candidate for forced metastasis. If there is a better place, we can make it a battlefield."

　Miloire and Hendeca noticed that they were diverting, especially after Ray, who was searching for the next place, and Egrett, Sett, or Shen, who was holding on to his back, followed Ray.





"Oh, after all, I couldn't find a better place than the first meadow."

　Egrett's dull words echo through the streets as the sun is about to change at sunset.
　Behind Egrett, everyone else nods in the same way.

"Well, the neighborhood of Emocion is conditional. It is inevitable that the scope should be narrowed. It's more about strategy than that. How much time do you need to prepare?"

　Egrett was the first to answer Ray's voice.

"I'm always... that's what I'm going to do today."
"Silly, you've got nothing to do today, haven't you?" Oh, tomorrow is enough for me, as I'll just buy some parts and take care of my weapons. What about Hendeca?"
"Well, that's it. I'm in charge of archery except Shen, right? Then I'd like to buy a bow or an arrow, or have some time to practice."

　Even Hendeca, who is weak in pushing, must be worried about a sudden battle with a bow. beg Ray for some practice time
　Watching Hendeka's appearance, Ray asks her thinkingly.

"By the way, have you ever used a bow?"
"Oh, yes. I've been taken hunting a few times when I was in the village, so I'm a little used to it."
"Well... then I'd like to use it all day tomorrow in order to regain my intuition, and I'd like to start a REM race the day after tomorrow." Do you have any other wishes or opinions?"

　The three nod silently to Ray's words, wondering if they have any particular objection.
　The sight of Seto and Shen nodding equally silently at the sight of the three probably felt something warm from the outset.

"Well, that's the decision," Everyone asks you to prepare well for tomorrow. and when the bell rings the day after tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, we shall meet in front of the guild."
"Huff! Finally, you're fighting a REM race. I wonder what a strong enemy he is. I'm looking forward to it."
"Oh, why are you acting with such a fellow?" but without me I'm going to run wild and make a terrible fuss."
"Well... well... calm down, I'll calm down." First of all, I have to train myself on archery tomorrow so that I can be active even a little."
"Grull?"
"Kiki!"

　Each of the three of them, except Ray, reasserts himself, turns to Shen on his back and says something, and Shen responds.
　Looking at him, Ray realizes he's not nervous about doing the most important thing... he suddenly sees something and stops.

"That's..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"

　Egrett asks Ray, who paused, but Ray stared at one point without answering it. Looking at the red scattered all over the road, nodding convincingly and looking at Egrett, who asked him the question.

"No, there seems to have been a great battle a little further."
"An enemy!"
"You fool! You're saying in the past that you've been there. I mean, I don't hear any cries in the first place, so it's certain that the battle is over."
"...oh. I'm sure you'll say so. Well, I didn't move my body today, so I wish I had a monster."
"Wow, you're a Rank B adventurer, Mr. Egrett. They think very differently from me.""Well, Hendeca, like me if she could rise to a higher rank..."
"No way!"

　Egrett's words and actions must have angered him to a great deal. Miloire's whips make a loud noise by hitting the ground near Egret.

"Hendeca, this kind of combat freak, or rather, you don't have a lot of brain muscles in Rank B. He's just special."
"Well... is that so?"

　Hendeca nods with a look of joy at Miloire's words... but at the same time with a look of regret.
　While watching the three communicate, Ray and his team move on and eventually reach a place where blood is spreading.

"Well, there certainly seems to have been a great battle here. Considering this amount of blood, is there nearly 40 people in total, my friend and foe."

　muttering and looking round Egrett Those who fought here were probably careful not to undead the fallen monster. Magical flames, or simply setting themselves on fire, were marks of burning monsters and human carcasses just off the road.

(Well, I don't know what kind of penalty the guy who did it would get if he left the body here and undeaded it. In particular, they are the kind of people who followed us. there must be some dark spots.)

　I look around with Egrett, muttering inwardly.

"It seems to be a group of goblins who attacked us,"
"Oh,"

　Egrett mutters, turning to the goblin's arms, and Ray nods as well.

"Goblin is not a great threat to the adventurers who are now gathering in this city."

　a muttering egret The next thing to look at is the remains of a broken sword in the middle of the blade.
　It will have been left behind by the adventurers who fought here. Egrett's eyebrows are slightly frowned upon when he sees it.

"Perhaps it belongs to an adventurer, given the state of that sword, which has little rust. That would do some harm to adventurers. Will a bragging adventurer, who has been looking for a REM race, suffer as much damage as a goblin
"So, are there any superior or rare species?"

　Egrett asks Miloire, shaking his head.

"No, perhaps there was a man on the adventurer's side. Look around the road. The battle is moving as if it were gathering in one place as if it were protecting something."

　Seeing the footprints and the traces of battle around the highway makes such a judgment, even though his partner Miloire calls him a brain muscle or a combat freak, is surely a Rank B adventurer. No, was it because he was a combat freak that you could judge?

"Well, if you say so, I'm sure," Anyway, the one who fought here was following us, didn't he? In a way, it was his own fault."
"What? Is it okay?"

　When Hendeca nervously asks Miloire's words, not only Miloire but also Egrett and Ray nod in the same way.

"Whatever happens to those who try to attack others, it's their own fault." If the adventurer, not the one who was after us, but the one who was commissioned to guard us, fought against the Goblin, then that would be the business of the adventurer."

　Ray tells it all and heads for the city of Emosion. Hendeca followed Ray without further comment.





　Returning to the city of Emocion, the group part ways with a promise to meet in front of the guild the day after tomorrow at 9 a.
　Sheen, who was on Seto's back at the time of parting, resisted until the end, but it was impressive for Ray that he left Seto, probably because he didn't want to be left behind by Hendeka.
　Other than Ray, Miloire watched the scene with a soft smile, thinking that the demons had become friends with each other.

"Well, if we can get rid of the REM race the day after tomorrow, it's only a few days left that we'll be together."

　Whispering, I sit on the bed of my room at the Coral Pavilion in Hekkai.
　Ray wants to sleep like this because he has eaten, but for no reason he pulls out a pair of oves from the mistling and casts his magical powers on the crystal.

'Huh? Oh, Ray. By contacting me like this, can I assume that you are ready to deal with a REM race?'
"Well, it's quite random, but I've made a plan. So, regarding the forced transfer of the REM race...It'll be about the morning of the day after tomorrow, will you mind?"
'Well, the morning after tomorrow. It's all right. Do you mean you'll join me when your master comes out to sea?'
"That would be a great help. After that, I'd like you to force me to transfer the REM race... but I'll just have to figure out where I'm going to transfer it, right?

　Whether it's space magic or space magic, it's completely useless for Ray, who's only fit for fire magic. Therefore, when I asked, Grimm nodded with laughter.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it because it's arranged so that when you use spatial magic, you can transfer it to a place that's floating in your head."
"Oh, can spatial witchcraft do that?"

　Ray muttered at Grimm's story, noticing the convenience of space magic, but came back from Grimm with laughter.

'Forfofo. No ordinary magician can do it. It's not as good as the magic of the dead, but it's only after thousands of years of study. Huh? I'm sorry, but I'm in the middle of an experiment. I can't talk at length. See you again the morning after tomorrow off the coast of Emosion.'

　As he tells them, Grimm disappears from the pair of ovens.
　Ray thought of the day after tomorrow's battle, returning the pair of oves to the inside of the mystery ring and lying in bed.
