Black clouds cover the sky on the Celemus plain.
　It was a rain cloud, and it could have rained at any time.
　Furthermore, the temperature is lower than before, and the wind is taking away the strength of the driver's cab.
　In such a situation, Ray, who leads the carriage, turns his eyes to the death size held by his right hand.
　A new skill I got last night, Flying Lv.4.
　I was on the watch at night when a few skeletons came again, and I was lucky enough to use it, but it was definitely getting more power.
　The slashing from the death-size blade was both bigger and more powerful than before.
　It cuts the skeleton's ribs easily and destroys the magical stones it was protected in.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(But why is that a living armour and a cutthroat? I heard from Deetz this morning that living armour, the owner of the magical stone, was a battleax user. If that's the case, it's natural to learn power slashes.)

　Still wondering inside, Ray's mouth is a smile.
　It's natural. Flying is one of Ray's most user‐friendly skills.
　Ray is very grateful to be able to attack long distances just by wielding his death size.
　In the sense of a long-range attack, there are many ways such as throwing arrowheads and spears that were created with the eyes of Nebra, a magic item.
　Throwing spears is especially close to Ray's main force when he attacks at long distances.
　However, throwing a spear requires the process of taking the spear out of the mistling, setting it up, and throwing it with a target, and magic required the recitation of a spell.
　In that respect, Nebra's eyes, which produce arrowheads only through magic, are very easy to use, and are surprisingly equipped under a dragon lobe.
　However, the range of arrowheads is not long.
　Taking that into consideration, the skill of jumping and shooting was very easy to use.
　That's why Ray smiles complacently, even though he wonders why he learned from a living armour equipped with Battleax.
　In addition, Seto received the magical stone, but the Battleax used by Living Armour is Dietz's.
　It was because Ray had decided to grant ownership of the monsters he had knocked down during the night, the magical stones, and the testimonial sites he had turned down.
　Ray, of course, is not the official leader of this group.
　But no one objected to Ray's instructions, given that the group was based on shortstop troops.
　Some of the former squadron members were somewhat dissatisfied, but it's still not enough to say anything to Ray and Sett.
　Therefore, Seto, who was the greatest contributor to defeating the living armour, received a magical stone and Dietz received the rest.
　However, the armour part, which is also the main body of the living armour, was destroyed by Seto's power crash, so all I could get was Battleax.
　However, the Battleax is not just a battleax, as it was used by Living Armour.
　By the power of the vengeful ghost, it was almost like a magic item.
　...a kind of weapon under some curse.
　Still, it would have been a reasonable price if you brought it to a place where it sold, and Deetz, who had put Battleax in Ray's Mistilling, nodded satisfactorily.

"Ray, don't you think you should hurry up a little? If you don't go on like this, you'll be caught in rain on the Celemus Plain."

　From the top of the horse running alongside Seto, Vihela calls out to Ray.
　When Ray sees the rain clouds thicker than before, he nods back to Vihela and opens his mouth.

"I'll speed it up a little, but will it be all right?"

　No one opposes the word.
　It's only natural. If it rains on this Celemus plain, you have to run with your vision down.
　Then there's a good chance that the undead will not notice in the rain.
　Also, unless the ground is well paved, there may be holes in places or large stones falling.
　It's a common feeling for everyone that they don't like to move in the rain, and they rush at the speed, just as Ray said.
　for about an hour Fortunately, rain clouds exist in the sky, but no rain falls, and the end of the Celemus plain is visible.
　The speed of marching, which was supposed to be unbelievable, was probably due to the lightness of the carriage with no extra baggage.
　Also, when the undead appears, Ray and Seto, who are leading the pack, easily kick each other away, and Viehla and the other ex-combatants in the horse-drawn carriage, respond to the approaching enemies.

(Mr. Ray, who beat the constant noise of Rank S, and Mr. Vihela, who beat the dragon digma of Rank A.) I feel that it would be no use for a country's army to attack, let alone undead, to have these two guards as bodyguarded

　That's how Sergio thinks, wary of the carriage.
　be friendly and courteous Still, as an adventurer, he has the ability to work solo.
　...I became a soloist because my previous party broke up due to various problems.
　At any rate, for Sergio, who has the ability to do so, Ray was a surprise in many ways.
　Not wanting to be hostile to Ray is one of the reasons for going to the kingdom of Milliana, but even more interesting is his very existence.

"Sergio, there's a zombie on the other side. Do you want to attack with a bow?"

　Sergio immediately shakes his head and gives instructions to the words from Dietz.

"Zombies can't keep up with this speed. Please ignore me."
"All right!"

　While thinking, giving instructions, I went straight on the Ceremuth Plain. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

"Exit!"

　Ray's voice reaches everyone's ears.
　And as soon as everyone looks around, they notice that the air around them is clearly different.

"All right, oh, oh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

　a shout of joy from someone
　Others, as if to follow, exclaim with joy.

"Oh, my God! I'm out! This is the kingdom of Milliana!"
`Oh, my God!'
"Oh my gosh!"

　It's not just the members of the former expeditionary force who are raising their voices. The same goes for those who were watching the scene in the carriage, tensely.
　No, the more people are not used to rough things, the more joy there will be.
　Ray, who is driving at the head of the carriage, also checks the surroundings and looks for any abnormalities.
　The Undead is basically never coming out of the Celemus Plain, but it's not absolutely true either.
　for there is no possibility of running into the kingdom of Milliana and encountering the undead, who had gone out by some mistake.

"The nearest village from here is Goto. I'm going to stay there for a night to-

　We've already talked about our future plans, but I'll tell you as a confirmation.
　They all nod at the same time with serious faces, wondering if the words have brought them back to their senses.

"Goto is not such a big village, either. I have no lodgings, so I will either sleep in a carriage or pay you to stay in a house, which will be as cramped as ever."
"That can't be helped," I think I'm lucky enough not to have to keep watch all night outside at this time of year."

　Sergio nods to his words.

"Well, let's go,"

　With the words, Ray sets out for Goto.

(In the kingdom of Mileana... you're back.)

　with one's innermost feelings in one's heart





　Standing as guards in Goto, imagining nothing but eating warm food at night in this cold weather, keeping out monsters and bandits from entering the village.
　I wear cold protection against the cold, but that doesn't mean I can completely protect myself from the cold.
　and I was stepping to warm myself up a little. . . . .

"Oh, hey! That!"

　One of the two guards screams at what appears in front of his eyes.
　When the other soldier casts his eyes at the remark, he opens his eyes too wide to speak.That's only natural. A group of nearly twenty horse‐drawn carts are coming to their village.
　A few horse-drawn wagons were the best in a small business force, and for these guards, nearly twenty horse-drawn wagons would come to mind if the army had passed by in time of war.

"What? A thief!"
"No way, the thief drove so fast... No, wait." Hey, look! The head of the carriage!"

　I turned to the head of the carriage at the words of my partner, and there was a figure on the back of the Gryphon.
　He is a small person and cannot be identified because he is wearing a hood.
　But just because he was on the Gryphon, it was easy for the guards to understand who he was.
　a man who stayed in the village of Goto for a time, and who, at the same time, headed for the Empire of Bestia with Count Larx.
　A short time ago the Count of Larkes returned, but the Gryphon disappeared, and the guards remembered that the villagers, especially the children, were very disappointed when they spent the night in Goto.

"Ray... Are you back?"
"Oh, as long as he's on the Gryphon, it's definitely Ray. But what makes you lead such a pack of cabs?"

　Ray, as the inhabitants of this village knew, was certainly a follower of Gryphon, but he was not the sort of man who led many men in this way.
　But as far as we can see, it looks like Ray is leading the carriage behind him.
　And next to Ray is another familiar person.
　Viehra wearing thin clothes that look cold even though it's going to be winter soon.
　The position next to Ray looked like a vice commander.
　It wasn't really a mercenary or a merchant force, but a moving group... but it was impossible to guess that in this situation.

"What shall I do?"
"No, what do you say you're going to do... What do you do?"

　In the meantime, the group led by Ray is getting closer and closer.
　Originally he should have called for the village chief or whatever, but while he is so confused by the unexpected, Ray's party finally arrives at the gate.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? Do you remember?"

　The guards finally spoke to Ray, who seemed to be unnerved and spoke to him as he lowered his hood.

"Oh, I remember," How can you easily forget the person who is subservient to the Gryphon? But why did you come back with a group like this, when you should have gone to the Empire with Larkus?"
"Well, there are a lot of things," Those behind me were those who wished to emigrate to the kingdom of Mileana."
"...maybe not have anything to do with the rumoured civil war in the Westian Empire."

　Though rural, Goto is also the closest village to the Vestian Empire across the Seremuth plain.
　Naturally, those who come from the Vestian Empire through the Seremuth Plain often take a rest at Goto.
　Such people must have told us about the civil war.

"Well, what do you think?" but I'll tell you that I've made quite a profit."

　The guards smile bitterly at Ray's words.

"I understood pretty much by those words. --but you go into the village, don't you? Then show me your ID."

　Following the words, Ray hands over the guild card from the mistling to the gatekeeper.
　At the same time, the others behind Ray similarly show their identities to the guards and finish the proceedings without any particular surprises.
　They also received a demon necklace for Seto... and thus they had completed all the procedures to get into Goto safely.
