"Grimm?"

　Marina was the only one to tilt her head at the name that came out of Ray's mouth.
　Elena had heard of Grimm before... not to mention that when she first met him, she listened to Ray and Grimm without losing consciousness like the rest of the arra.

"Oh, my acquaintance... Rich Road, to put it simply." It's undead anyway."
"What!"

　Marina exclaims in surprise at what Ray says.
　But it was a natural reaction of ordinary people -- dark elves.
　Still, Marina didn't immediately act hostile to Ray because she trusted him... and most importantly, she loved him deeply.

"Ray, will you explain what... you mean?"
"Oh, yes," I was originally going to explain this to Marina a long time ago. But Marina was so busy as a guildmaster that she was put off."
"...let me hear it,"

　In Ray's words, Elena and Vihela probably understood that they already knew the secret.
　A little frustrated and frustrated, Ray encourages her to continue.

"What should I start with?" ... Yeah, it's from there. I'm not from this world. My soul, to be exact, though."

　Tell him so, and tell him what you hide from the fact that you were sent to this world with your soul picked up from Zepyle when you lost your life in another world.
　Marina, who has lived for a long time, cannot understand many things and is difficult to do, but she is convinced by Ray's explanation.
　After twenty minutes... Marina nodded as if she had agreed.

"I was surprised that Ray was from a different world, but I'm quite convinced."
"...is that so?"
"Yes. When I think of Ray's magical powers, I didn't think he was from this world."
"Well, man... man, man, man, man, man, man, man."
"What's wrong with that? I've got longer lifespan and better physical ability. There's nothing wrong with it, isn't there? And the magic was originally Ray's, wasn't it?"

　In fact, Marina's longer life span must have been greater than that of humans.
　Dark elves and humans naturally live different lives.
　Marina, who loved Ray, would eventually break up if he were an ordinary person.
　...no, it may not change that if she is married to Ray, she will eventually be separated, but it has taken a lot of Marina's mental burden off her that she doesn't have to die in less than a hundred years like any other human being.
　It's impossible to live with someone you love forever, but you can live with them longer than you can.

"At any rate, Grimm was the spirit of the time when Zepyle was alive. I've been undead and survived. --it may not be right to have survived, for it is undead."
"…I see. Ever since Zepyle was alive... if so, maybe some dark elves and elves have met him in person."
"Oh, come to think of it..."

　Dark elves and elves live so long that the possibility is undeniable.

"There are some people who have talked to Zepail before."
"Are you there?"

　Ray asks, but if he's lived in the same age as Grimm, he might as well have someone he knows.

"If possible, it would be helpful if you could look into it later. Especially if there were any members of the Zepail family who knew about Takum Suinose."

　In Ray, his interest in Zepyle is rather deep.
　But what was stronger was the presence of Takum, who came to this world just like himself.

(Well, it's quite unusual that I came to this world with my soul alone.) Transition, transmigration, and possession... There are many ways to come to this world.)

　Reincarnation was Vichela's older brother and Kabazid of the First Prince of the Empire of Bestia.
　In Ray's case, it looks like a combination of reincarnation and dependence.
　On the other hand, Takum came to Elgin after thinking about it from where he was wearing school uniform.
　What is the difference? If I could learn a little more about that... it's only natural that I think so, considering Ray's position.

(though it was all after Vihela regained consciousness)

　Take a look at Vihela lying in bed and switch her mind.

"Grim is still alive and undead, let alone Takum. In other words, I've been living as a magician... or a wizard ever since. Perhaps they know how to bring Vihela back to consciousness."
"That's..."

　I can't say that Ray's words are unconvincing.
　Still, it was completely unexpected that Viehra would receive advice to regain consciousness if he were to defeat the Undead.
　Marina was about to be confused for a moment, but it was true that there was a ray of light there if she could manage the situation.

"Can you talk properly about the undead? That's why you're so self-control."

　Generally, undead people hate the living.
　Or those who cannot even judge it and can only recognize the living as food.
　Or, there are many people who want to show off their superiority by looking down on them.
　Of course, there are undead people who have the same reason as before, but on the whole they are very few.
　Even though it looks the same as before, many people are actually twisted by being undead.
　That's why Marina has to confirm that Ray and Elena know.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. He seems to have originally been a magician who admired Zepyle and his family. And now he is in favor of me, who inherited the magic of Zepyle."
"...I can't believe Sett wasn't an ordinary monster. Well, I'm quite convinced that there are so few friendly monsters in general."

　In addition to Ray, Seto, who is fond and spoiled by many other partners, passes through Marina's mind.
　There are many monsters that are tamed by Tamer, but only their masters can remember them.
　Compared to them, Sett's affection for people around him was incredible.
　But if you think Sett was not tamed, but a monster created by Ray, you might not understand it.

(But then I wonder if Ray is actually friendly? It doesn't look like that from the side.)

　From Marina's perspective, Ray is by no means good at socializing.
　He preferred a narrow and deep social relationship to a broad and shallow one.
　In fact, I think I have a very deep relationship with myself, Elena, Vihela, and a few other adventurers.

(Well, that's better for me.)

　Ray's features are originally neat.
　However, it's more of a feminine look than a masculine one, and if Ray's personality was amiable, he'd be liked by many... he'd have had more love enemies than he is now.

"And how is that Grimm a man... no, he's not a man." You're going to get in touch with the undead? It's stable now, but you'd better do something about it as soon as possible.
"Yes, but if you're going to get in touch, don't worry. I'll use it."

　The pair of oves were taken out of the mistling."I'm dumbfounded... did you have that?"
"Oh, I've contacted you through this before, so it shouldn't be impossible to get in touch with you."
"Well, can we see that too?"
"Well, I'd like to see it, too."

　Marina and Elena all tell him so and look at him.
　Ray hesitated for a moment, but he nods back, judging that he might encounter Grimm in the future if he was working with him.

"All right. Then I'd like to call Grimm right away. ... Do you mind?"

　Seeing them nod to the words, Ray casts magic into the pair of oves.
　There's nothing particularly surprising about it, just because of Elena, who's used to using a pair of oves, and Marina, who has similar communication magic items. But...

"Hmm? Is it Ray?"

　The skull's head...or the figure of the crown-wearing skeleton on the pair of oves, and both Elena and Marina stop moving in amazement.
　This was Marina's first contact with Grimm, and Elena had never seen her face before.
　So he was wide-eyed at the figure of Grimm on the crystal in front of him.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I contacted you to ask you something."
'I don't mind. Fortunately, the experiment has just settled down. ...but more than that.'

　Once he paused, Grimm looked closer to the pair of oves.
　I guess it was to get a better view of the Ray's side, but at the same time, Grimm's face would... see the skeleton up there.
　In terms of skeleton, it will be no different from a skeleton.
　However, if you look at it in person, you can hardly believe it if you say it's the same skeleton.
　I was able to fully understand the difference in the case of a skeleton, even in the case of a pair of ovens.

『You had better keep your affair with 儂 secret.』 That's what you thought, isn't it? Is that all right?'

　Seeing both Elena and Marina speak to Ray as if to confirm without any particular complaints, perhaps because they were in Grimm's eye.

"Oh, I've known these two for a long time. There's no problem with that's all right. I've also explained everything about me."
"'Oh? About Ray... about another world, about Zepyle,'

　When Grimm asks so, Ray nods back.
　Seeing Ray like that, Grimm laughs merrily around him.
　Ray wondered for a moment where such laughter came from the skeleton Grimm, but it was strange to say so when he was speaking without a vocal cord.
　There's no point in worrying about it, waiting for Grimm to stop laughing before he opens his mouth.

"It's been a long time since I contacted you, but I'd like to ask you something."
"Huh? It's been a long time? It's just like the last time for 儂."

　For Grimm, who lives many times, a few years is probably a few days from Ray's point of view.

"It's been a long time for me. "And now, may I get down to business?"
"Well, I don't care,"

　Grimm nods in Rey's words without a trace of concern.
　For Grimm, talking to Ray is an inspiration to his long life.
　Ray is Zepyle's acknowledged man, apart from normal people.
　On its own, Grimm's strong interest, curiosity, goodwill for Ray... they are very high.

"Do you know that Ambrice...
'No, I don't know. What is it like?'

　Ray is surprised at what he says so easily, and at the same time he feels helpless.
　He was only known to have appeared three hundred years ago.
　Then it's only natural that Grimm, who lives in seclusion, doesn't know its existence.

"I'd like to say that it's a monster created by magic, but I don't think it's a monster because there's no magic stone."
『...oh? Is it something that evolves a particular monster by any chance?'』
"Oh!? Do you know!"

　Ray exclaims with astonishment at the words that he says he doesn't know.
　At Ray's appearance, Grimm laughed amusingly... and nodded.

'Well, as far as 儂 knows, his existence was not named Ambrice. ...though it has been very rare since then. The name that 儂 knew... was called Jarda.'

　Finally, when he had a clear clue about Ambris, Grimm would open his mouth to the breathtaking Reyes.
