Ray looks away at the contents of Zozo's tablet.
　There must have been such a strong desire not to see what was written there.
　Nevertheless, I couldn't keep looking away from what was written there forever, and just in case... the three of them were there... Elena, Marina, Vihela.
　And, though Zozo may not have noticed, he opens his mouth to the sound of Grimm watching the scene from a pair of oves hidden by accessories.

"Grand Dragonian Empire. Does anyone know the name of this country?"

　Ray is half sure that Zozo came from another world, but the three of them shake their heads when Ray asks them.
　Ray gently turned his gaze toward the pair of ovens, where Grimm shook his head.

"Do you remember the names of the countries and cities like Zozo, the Kingdom of Mileana, the Empire of Bestia, and Gilm?"

　Ray's words appear on the slate, and Zozo tries to remember something after seeing the letters... and then shakes his head.

'No, I'm afraid I haven't heard of any of them. I've heard of Gilm under the name you gave me while I was here, but I've never heard of them before I came here.'
"...as I expected,"

　Zozo's words are Ray's prediction...It was sufficient evidence to confirm that it was a metastasis from a different world.
　However, the possibility of metastasis from another continent has not yet disappeared.

"And yet... I thought it was a country, but it was a very grand name."

　It was Vihela who said so.
　Since he was born and raised in the Empire of Bestia, he was probably a little interested in the same empire, the Grand Dragonian Empire.
　But the words were also not very pleasing to Ray.
　I was honest that I didn't want to think about Zozo's background for now.
　We know that we cannot avoid this incident.
　Still, Ray's position as the Thirteenth Prince is not very interesting.

(The least salvation is that he is the thirteenth prince. If he was actually the first prince, he might have been a little uncool, but if he became the thirteenth prince, he might not be treated as a member of the Imperial family.)

　It was a stroke of misery.
　It's probably because Zozo is a lizard man who thinks like that but still can't feel completely at ease.
　Perhaps the land of Zozo... in the Gran Dragonian Empire, there was a good chance that even the thirteenth prince had considerable influence.

"...huh? Wait a minute. Is Zozo actually a great lizard?"

　He seemed to have spoken to Zozo from a very high point of view.
　If so, I think he is a man of a higher rank than others.
　Zozo opens his mouth to Ray's words.

'He is my brother. He is the eleventh prince.'
"What happened to two members of the royal family, leading the Lizardman, attacking the Greens? I ask you, is there a war between the Lorornola and your Gran Dragonian Empire?"

　Now that we can communicate, ask why the Zozo's were attacking the Lorornola.
　Two members of the royal family came to this guillem, and on the contrary, they pretended to tie one of them up and carry him in a carriage.

(Oh, if you mean tie me up, shudder. Shudder followed me right away.)

　This led to the impression that Zozo and Zaza, two members of the Grand Dragonian royal family who came to this world, were tied up.
　Zozo was obviously hostile to himself, though he would have no particular problem with it.
　If so, it could become a diplomatic issue.

(if there was a Gran Dragonian Empire in this world)

　Ray is already convinced that he came from a different world, but that doesn't mean he can make it public.
　Then, how did you know that?

"Oh, I see,"

　Ray's gaze is momentarily directed at the pair of oves.
　When he asked Grimm to help kill the eyeballs in the winter incident, he described Grimm as his master.
　If that's the case, I thought it would be all right to assume that I had heard about this incident from my teacher.
　In the first place, there's no trouble in the matter of where Zozo got his tablet from, assuming that he borrowed it from his master.

"Well, let's have our teacher do his best again."
"... Master?"

　I will explain to Vihela, who noticed Ray's muttering, what came to her mind.
　Zozo questions the name Grimm on the slate and many other unknown circumstances, but he remains silent if Ray doesn't explain.

"Oh, the best way to show Zozo's slate and that they're from a different world is to use his master's setting. He's forced me to move my eyes out of space."

　I see.
　Everyone who hears Ray's explanation -- except Zozo -- nods convincingly, while Elena immediately opens her mouth.

"If that's all right with the lithography, how about coming from another world... as long as there's no clear evidence or evidence so far, I can believe it. But objectively, there's still not enough evidence."
"Well, you know what Elena is saying. Then, instead of asserting that she's from another world, why don't you just let her know that there's a possibility?"

　Marina's words, which followed Elena's, were not a little disappointing.
　However, it is also true that it is only Ray's intuition if Zozo and others are actually asked to show evidence of their coming from another world.
　...for if the Zozo's ignorance of the Kingdom of Milliana or the Empire of Bestia is said to have come from another continent, they cannot deny it.

"Well... should I?"

　In the end, Ray is unable to disagree with the opinion and nods honestly.

"Why don't you just let me smell the possibility first? When it comes to the crunch, I can just say that I was saying that. And I don't think Dusker would take Ray that seriously."

　That's probably Marina's opinion because she's known Dusker since childhood.
　Marina, however, knows what she calls the black history of Dusker, so she still has the last resort to use it when it comes to the crunch.

"Well, then, if you let Mr. Dusker know about it tomorrow... next question. The only one, the biggest one."

　So when Ray pauses, he looks at Zozo again and opens his mouth.

"You may have heard that before, but why were you attacking the lorols?"

　That was something I absolutely had to listen to when I thought about the future.
　because, as far as Ray could see, the Zozos were attacking the Llornoras without exception.
　For Ray, who thinks it is necessary to get along with the Lorornola in the future, it is hard to leave him alone.
　Dusker, in particular, has a strong expectation for greens who have the ability to grow plants rather than for the zodiac lizard.
　Then it was clear which side Dusker would take if the Zozo's were to attack the Lorornola.
　As the lord of Guillum, Dusker, of Guillum, of course he needs to help the people who benefit him.

'It's by order of the Emperor, of the Greens...'
"Wait,"

　Ray pauses Zozo's words to explain.
　As Zozo looked at what had happened, Ray asked what he had questioned in his present explanation.

"What's the race of Llornola? We call them green people because of their colors."
'Green people, I see. ... I don't know any particular race. It's always been called green people.'"Green people... are they no different from green people? What kind of race do they call themselves?"
'Especially, we, we, we, we... say a lot, but there seems to be no fixed name.'
"And very... unexpected,"

　Ray mutters a genuine surprise to Zozo's words.
　For Ray, we usually thought that there was a word for them... a kind of race name.

"That's probably the reason why they are hated by the Emperor."
"Is that so?"

　I honestly don't think Ray has any words to describe themselves.
　However, there was a question as to whether the emperor of a country would act in such a way as to oppress such people.

(Well, as long as he was the emperor of the Lizardman, it is not strange that his way of thinking is fundamentally different from that of man.)

　In fact, Zozo has changed a lot from Ray's point of view. ... No, it may not be so unusual to follow the loser, but the words on the slate clearly felt uncomfortable from Ray's point of view.

(As expected, is the effect of the tablet a little buggy?)

　The first time I asked Zozo to use a lithograph, I was worried about his way of speaking.
　Ray knows... no, the language he thought was not as polite as this is.
　If this is not the case, then the first time you meet someone, you may have been involved in this way of speaking, and there is only a sense of strangeness there.

(Well, I'll think about that later.)

　I think so again and ask Zozo again.

"Then tomorrow I will ask the Lorornolas, will it be all right for us to call them green?"
'Yes, I wonder if that'

　If you look at the way he tells you so easily, you don't seem to be telling a lie at all the more.
　If so, then I'm sure it'll be all right to call the Llornors green.

"Okay. So, for the time being, if we call them green... do you know that green people have the ability to grow plants?"
'I know, because of that ability, the greens have been used conveniently.'
"I suppose,"

　Growing plants...not forcing them to grow with magic or magic items, says Dark Elf's Marina.
　Ray can think of anything useful or profitable with greens.
　I wonder, however, why the emperor of the Gran Dragonian Empire acted in such a way as to oppress the Llornoras.

(As for that matter, shall we ask them tomorrow?)

　After deciding so, Ray moves on to the next topic.

"Why, however, did anyone who might have been the prince attack the Llornoras with a small number of men, except Zozo?"

　I asked casually, but it was a pretty important question for Ray.
　In fact, even though they called themselves the Gran Dragonian Empire, they were not that big... because they thought they might not have enough military power to use.
　No, because it's a small country, it's not to be underestimated by the outside world... it means half bluff, and there's no possibility that they call themselves that way.
　But Ray's expectations -- in one sense, wishful observations -- are betrayed at the next moment.

'I don't know what the Emperor is thinking, but I was in the fight because those who had the right to succeed to the throne must be strong warriors.'
"... I see,"

　Ray hears the explanation and sees Vihela.
　Vichela's father, the emperor of the Vestian Empire, was of such a character that only a strong man would be qualified to become emperor, allowing and even recommending civil war to occur on a semi-intentional basis.
　As far as Zozo is concerned, the emperor of the Gran Dragonian Empire must feel the same way.
　No, the Westian Empire was not asked for direct military power by the heirs to the throne, but, as you can see from Zozo, there is probably a difference in the Gran Dragonian Empire in that it is required for direct strength.
　Even after that, while listening to various stories from Zozo, the night passes while trying to calm down Grimm, who seems to be interesting.
　In addition, it was quite a miscalculation for Ray that he could not understand the reason for the metastasis itself.
