"See you later!"
"You're going to go to Gilmoo again!"
"Let's talk about magic next time!"
"Seto! I'll let you eat my food this time!"

　That's how Ray flies with Sett, waving his hand after hearing a farewell call from the ground.
　Wearing dragon robes, the warm spring air touches my face as I put down my hood.
　Still, the wind would cool down to 100 meters above the ground, but Ray also smiles a little bit with the spring air.

"Glu?"

　Seth turns back, flapping her wings, asking, "What's the matter?"
　Ray caresses his head with a smile on his face, saying it was nothing.

"A few days to Gilm. It's easy to travel, unlike when you come here, so let's enjoy this weather."
"Gurgling!"

　Seto's voice grates over Ray's words.
　After all, being with Ray is probably the happiest thing for Seto.
　After stroking such a set and looking at the grasslands, which will turn into green carpets in summer, Ray turns his eyes to the blue sky.
　The weather could not have been more blessed for a day of departure, so it should be called May sunny.
　It's only spring, though, and it's far from May.

(The weather would be understandable if I were in Japan, though)

　For Ray, who lived deep in the mountains of the Tohoku region, March and early April were still partly due to snow, and the highest temperature was not as high as 10 degrees Celsius between winter and spring.
　That's why it's so warm at this time of year, which I've experienced last year, is a little surprising.

"There are a lot of people coming and going ... but is that normal. It's a good location, even though it's a remote area like Gilm."

　muttered Ray, looking at the many merchants, travelers and adventurers walking down the street, unexpectedly pulls a small container out of the mistling. 　
　The container, about the size of an index finger, contains a bright red liquid.

"Not at all... don't do anything unfamiliar."

　What passed Ray's mind was the farewell party held the day before.
　Incla suddenly appeared at the farewell party and gave it to Ray from the 3rd or 4th grade S class.
　It was a container in Ray's hand now, and the contents were concentrated portions.
　Concentrated portions naturally decrease in amount and make it easier to carry around.
　Although the technology itself was developed decades ago, it was still difficult to handle.
　Even if diluted with just water, the effect is reduced to an extreme.
　For proper effect, water with magical powers must be used to match concentrated portions using alchemy.
　The difference in effectiveness is such that even a wound called a serious injury can be cured using the same concentrated potion, but if you use water around it, you can heal the wound by cutting the tip of your finger lightly with a knife.
　It's only natural that the technology of enrichment didn't spread because it's such an inconvenient part.
　If you're going to carry concentrated and magically treated water separately, you'd better carry a regular one.
　The reason why Ray chose such an unusable, near-extinction technology-made concentrated portion as a gift to Ray is probably because he heard from somewhere that he enjoys collecting magic items.
　After hearing this, the students found a concentrated potion as a rare magic item, and gave it to Ray as a present.

"I'm sure I'm collecting magic items, but I'm collecting magic items that can be used in actual warfare."

　As he says so, Ray carefully stores the concentrated portion in his hand in the mistling.
　You've said a lot, but if you're a little used to dating Ray, you'll find him embarrassed.

"...I'll have it for now." I don't have to worry if there's a kind of potion, and I don't know where it's useful."
"Grull".

　A set of muttering Rei with some kind of teasing cry.
　Ray pats Seto lightly on the back of his neck.

"You're ten years early to make fun of me," "Well, ten years must have passed so quickly for us."
"Gruly!"

　As they communicate, Ray and Sett fly toward Gilm.
　Some people on the highway look up at the sky, but now they're flying about 100 meters above, so they can't tell if it's a bird or a monster.
　If it had been a veteran adventurer walking down the road, he might have judged that it was not a bird.
　Of course, even if it's a monster, not a bird, there's no way an ordinary adventurer could do something about it. ... yes, an ordinary adventurer.

"Ugh!"

　Suddenly, he finds a wind noise flying toward him, and immediately pulls out his death-size and tries to intercept it.
　However, the wind noise was never fast, but rather slow as you can see, perhaps because it was intentionally designed to make sounds.
　Before wielding his death-size, Ray sees that the sound of windfall towards him is an arrow with a curled arrowhead, and even paper tied to the arrow, so he grabs it right next to him.

"What?"
"Glu?"

　Not only Ray, but also Seto, is interested in the arrow, whining in wonder.
　Ray said, "What is it?" But it was clear at the time of the arrow who had done it.

"I wish Sardart had come to see me in person without going out of his way to do such a laborious thing."
"Grull".

　a set of voices that sound in agreement with Ray
　Meeting was by no means friendly, but Sardart was not hostile to Ray or Sett, so Sett immediately forgave him.
　Now I never hate being caressed by Sardart.
　Once hostile, the difference was wide compared to Rodos, who still hates him.

"...letters. I mean, is this an arrowhead? Maybe there's something like that here, but... I mean, can you think of it normally with a bow and arrow?"

　open a letter thinking like that
　It says a short farewell, and the next time I see you, I just want you to introduce me to a girl.

"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to ask for a longer introduction to a woman than to say goodbye."

　Breathe out, but never throw away the letter, but put it in a mistling with a death size.

(Introduce a woman... I don't think a Rank S adventurer would have any trouble with a woman. Or is there such a bad rumor going around? ...That's possible. I have heard of Sardart several times in the military academy.)

　Feeling sensitive about the difference in treatment with noise, Ray flies with Sett enjoying the spring air.
　Occasionally on the ground, we saw adventurers and monsters fighting, but we passed by without any particular intervention.
　If the adventurer was in trouble, he might have touched it, but it didn't look like it.
　This time of year, in particular, is just spring, and quite a few adventurers have already run out of savings beyond winter.
　If you try to steal the prey of such adventurers, you'll only be bitter.
　If that's the case, as long as the adventurer isn't in danger of his life...

"Ah,"

　There's no need to help.
　That's what Ray was thinking, but now he finds an adventurer who is about to be attacked by an oak in a forest on earth.
　The dagger in his hand was being played into the trunk of a nearby tree, and the adventurer was trying to distance himself from the oak.
　The most unfortunate thing would be that the adventurer was a solo...and a woman.
　a female adventurer knocked down by an oak Ray already knew what it meant.
　But adventurers are responsible for themselves, and the consequences are also their own. 　
　As long as she's an adventurer, it's a clear fact, and Ray doesn't have to bother helping a female adventurer.
　No one will complain if you pass over an oak or a female adventurer pretending to know nothing.
　That's why...

"Set".
"Gruly!"If only a brief interaction of calling Seth's name made her understand, Seth would descend straight down to earth.

(Yes, no one will complain if we keep going over the sky. But if you overlook it, I won't be able to forgive myself.)

　While Sett was descending to earth, Oak approached the female adventurer and reached out to strip her of the leather armour. . . . .

"Huh!"

　A spear taken out of the mistling flies out of Ray's hand.
　I usually throw spears with Ray's strength and twist, but now I'm on Seto's back.
　That would do little to transmit force by twisting the body, let alone arm strength.
　...but the descent on Seto's back towards the ground means that he can convey his speed to the spear.
　Of course it would be impossible to do such a thing without getting along with each other, but Ray and Sett were the only ones who didn't have to worry about it at all.
　Ray's arm strength and set's descent rate The spear, released by those two forces, flew straight to the earth...

"Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo."

　It sticks into the head of an oak that was focused on hurting a weak opponent, shattering it, and then into the ground, breaking the handle.
　Many spears that Ray originally used for throwing are on the verge of being destroyed because they are supposed to be disposable.
　Not all spears were like that, but it was true that the percentage of spears was overwhelmingly on the verge of destruction.
　It is only natural that such a spear should break the handle of an oak.

"Oh my gosh... Huh? What on earth?"

　For an adventurer's woman, the sight of her being attacked by an oak that had lost its head raises a voice of confusion.
　She is a woman adventurer who looks around, but there are only shattered oaks, bones, and brains around her, and she can't find anyone to help her.
　If the female adventurer had looked up at the sky, he might have seen Seto, but after throwing a spear at the oak, Seto and Ray had quickly recovered and left.
　I didn't originally help you out for anything in return, and I'm not going to take care of you until the end.
　He only helped her out of bed because it was hard for her to wake up if she died within her sight, so she chose to leave the scene without pretending to call out to the female adventurer.

"Oh, you saved me...?"

　She was a woman adventurer who looked around again, but when she thought she had managed to overcome the danger of life and chastity, she looked around again.

"...what should I do about the part that proves the subjugation?"

　The right ear is the proof of the attack with the oak, and three pieces of silver coins.
　But in front of the female adventurer is the body of an oak whose head had been destroyed.
　I don't think I could find my right ear, nor would I.
　For a few seconds, he looks around and finds out that no one really helped him, so he breathes a little sigh and walks towards the headless body of Oak.

"Even if you can't use your right ear, you can use magic stones and materials. ...if possible, I'd like to finish stripping before the other monsters show up...oh, come on. Why didn't I bring anyone?"

　Reflecting on his reckless behavior, he begins to strip the oak.
　...of course, as soon as other monsters appear, prepare to run away.
　The adventurer successfully rips off the oak material and returns to Gracial with as much meat as she can hold, and is later called the Oak Killer.





"Well, are you going to move again to-day.
"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Cet calls Ray's voice in a voice.
　a few days after leaving Gracial As he approaches Gillum, Ray begins to travel on Sett's back as usual.
　But the day's journey never lasted so long.
　for less than an hour had passed since I had left, when I found a figure fighting against thieves on the ground.
　If that had been the case, Ray wouldn't have been so surprised.
　It would have been a different story if she were dressed in light clothing like that worn by dancers and prostitutes, and had the insteps and insteps on her hands and feet, respectively.
　And there is a little girl beside her.
