After lunch at the house Elena and Vihela rented, Ray had taken advantage of his break to come to the house he rented.
　Only Seto is there except Ray.
　There is no such thing as Yero, who is often with Seto.
　When Ray said he would come out for a moment, Earth asked him not to leave him behind, but... Ray had come to his rented house, pretending not to notice it.
　I understand that Earth had a desire to leave her alone in a place where there were only beautiful women and beautiful girls, but now there was something for Ray to do.
　It was supposed to be a long time ago... that's what I should have done last night and this morning. That's...

"That's all right about here." Seto, just make sure there's no one around here watching us. There's no one I can see, but just in case."
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto shrieks briefly and looks around him.
　Many elves are good at archery, so many have good eyesight.
　Others have the ability to use magic to improve their eyesight.
　When Ray was under house arrest, it was the one with the ability to watch from about 100 meters outside the window.
　That's why I wonder if we're being monitored by some means...
　The reason I wasn't doing what I was going to do last night or this morning was because I was wary of it.
　But now... Ray believes that there is a high possibility that no one else is paying attention to them, given that there are other foreign substances in the village, Earth and Polo.
　Of course no one is watching you by some means, but it would be impossible to be completely unaware of Ray and Sett's senses.
　And in fact, even though Ray and Sett tried to find out what was going on around them, they couldn't sense what was going on in their attention was focused on them.

"... well, there's no one,"
"Ringling!"

　Seth nods to Ray's words and is convinced that there is no one around her.
　I should have done it outside the village if I could, but when I saw the rare species of earth... or nine-tailed carbuncle, I guess I had a lot of thoughts.
　That's why Ray and Set decided to absorb the magical stones they had been accumulating for some time.

(I should have collected about ten magical stones before absorbing them.)

　The skills gained by absorbing magical stones are basically not so strong at first.
　By absorbing several types of monsters with similar skills, they increase their pure power.
　Of course it's the power of pure skill, and it's the user's... skill and sense in wielding the set and death size that matter to him that he can master.
　However, Ray still thought that if he wanted to increase his power, he should absorb several kinds of them altogether.
　However, it wasn't something that we had to abide by, but rather something that we might as much as possible.
　That's why I came across a rare carbuncle called polo, and I was able to easily change my mind and absorb the magical stones.
　Other than that, what kind of skills the aerowing magic stone can absorb can be predicted from the way it is attacked, and Ray wanted it.

"...well, I'll put the greatest pleasure to the end." Well, the magic stone that we have now is..."

　Whispering, I take out the magic stone.
　auger, gamerion, cyclops, aerowing.
　They are magical stones, though they vary in size.

"There are several Gamerions..."

　Ray looked a little disappointed as he muttered.
　This is because there is no point in having more than one Gamelion magical stone.
　The Death Size has already absorbed the normal Gamerion magic stone, and only Seto can absorb the normal Gamerion magic stone.

(No, I think it's possible to absorb the magic stone itself.) ...even if it doesn't make sense)

　The magical stones that are currently absorbed and meaningful by Seto are auger, gamerion, aerowing.
　And the magical stones that Death Size absorbs and makes sense are cyclops and aerowings.

"...let's try it first, shall we?"

　Ray reached out to Gamerion's magical stone.
　The magical stones that were obtained in large quantities in the dungeon are of little value.

"Set!"

　When he calls and throws a magic stone at Seto, he skillfully holds it in his mouth and swallows it.

[Set has mastered the skills of Power Crash Lv.3]

　At the same time, the message echoes through my mind.

"Well... I never thought that even the usual gamerion could absorb it."
"Grull!"

　At Ray's muttering, Seto purrs happily.
　Seto must have been happy to see his skills strengthened and Ray was pleased by them. snarl in high spirits

"""Power crash is a skill that I use a lot of sets, and I hope that's meant." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Gamerion, who looks like a giant rabbit, attacks with both the power of his giant body and the speed of his agility, which is also a characteristic of rabbit-shaped monsters.
　With that in mind, it was safe to learn power crash skills.

"I'll try... well, I'll try it in the afternoon in the forest, and I'll try it next time."

　The next thing Ray reached out was the magic stone of the auger.
　However, the expression is slightly inferior.
　This is because the auger that carried this magical stone was a very small individual.
　I wonder if it's safe to absorb the magic stones of such a weak individual.

"Gamerion was absorbed by Seto, and the magical stones of this auger... well, by the way, did you let it absorb death-size before?" I'm going to have Setto absorb it, then, will you mind?"

　Remembrance of an auger he knocked down in a dungeon with Elena and others at the altar of succession, Ray tells Seto.

"Grull!"

　Seto makes a delighted cry at Ray's words Ray must have felt the anxiety of the auger. Seto looks at Ray with round eyes.
　Prompted by his gaze, Ray throws the magic stone in his hand towards Seto.
　At the same time, Seto quickly receives and swallows the AUGER's magic stone.

[Set has mastered the skills of Power Crash Lv.4]

　Ray's voice echoes through his brain with an expression of satisfaction, yet complacent.
　It's only natural. Powercrashing was just a few minutes ago with the magic stone of Gamerion.

(No, since Seto's blow has become more powerful, do you have any particular dissatisfaction?)

　When he is convinced in his heart, he caresses Seto's head with a glance of "How do you feel?"

"Well, you remember it well. I can't see how powerful it is here, but... when you go into the woods, show me."
"Grull!"

　I look at the magical stone where Ray is left, patting Seto's head with a cry of "Leave it to me!"
　What remains is one of the cyclops and one of the wing magic stone.
　One of them...throwing the cyclops' magical stone into the air, another flash of death-size.

【Death size is acquired skill of Painburst Lv.2】

　At the moment, Ray nods at the message that passes through his mind.

"Glu?"

　What's going on? Seth looks at Ray in wonder.Having acquired the skills, Ray thought he would be happy, but... he must have wondered if it wasn't there.

"No, Painburst is a skill that makes you feel more pain when you hurt someone, regardless of the damage, but why did you learn this skill with a cyclops magic stone... I don't understand it at all."
"Gururu..."

　Ray's words confuse Seto.
　Seeing Seto's appearance, he must have decided that there was no point in questioning him any longer. Ray looks to the hand holding the death size.
　Whatever the reason, the improvement in skills remains the same.
　Even though the wound itself is the same, if it increases the pain it inflicts on the opponent, it is not difficult to surprise the enemy when used during battle.

(It doesn't make sense if it's a plant-based monster or a monster that doesn't have pain.) Rather than learning no skills, do you think it's better just to be strengthened? ...if possible, it would have been nice if the skills around power slashes were strengthened.)

"Grull!"

　As Ray thinks about Painburst, he eventually quips, "What's wrong with Seto? Let's keep absorbing the magical stones."
　At this, Ray caresses Seto on the head with a smile.

"Well, it's no use thinking about every detail. I don't think it's any disadvantage to me, so I think that's all right. I'm sorry, Seto, did you care?"

　Seto gives a happy cry to Ray, who gently caresses Seto's head.
　Returning his smile to Seto, Ray then turns to Aerowing's magical stone, which is said to be the mainstay of this magical stone absorption.
　Ray spoke to Seto, thinking that he had just been stroking her and that it was all right to say this.

"Hey, Seto. I'd like to use this magical stone for death size. Do you mind?"
"Guru..."

　Ray's words make Seto look down regretfully.
　It was obvious from what happened that Seto was also aiming for the aerowing magic stone.
　Ray felt a little sorry for Seto, who was looking down, but if he could do this, he would like to... exactly absorb the magic stone into his death size.

"What? Set. Please. It's not like all the aerowings except this aerowing have been wiped out. Perhaps we can find another aerowing this afternoon?"
"Glu?"

　Ray nods as Sett looks at him with round eyes.
　I'm not saying it without any basis.
　I've heard from Marina and Jusla that Aero Wing originally lived in this forest.
　That's why Seto wouldn't be unable to find the aerowing if he were in the woods.
　And as was the case when he knocked down the aerowing, it's not that hard to hold the aerowing's breath with a blow from Seto.
　In other words, it shouldn't have been too difficult to get the aerowing magic stone.

"Gururu... Gururu, gururu."

　Eventually, Seto turns to Ray to ask him if he understands what he wants to say and is in a good mood, or if he has changed his mind that he can eat aerowing meat again.
　As such, Ray gently caresses his head appreciatively and reaches for the aerowing magic stone.

"...please..."

　A flash of death-size upon the magical stone that muttered and tossed into the air.
　A sharp blow cuts off a magical stone without even making a sound.

【Death Size: Acquired the skill of Hidaigiri Lv.5】

　a concurrent message

"All right!"

　Clenched in his fist, Ray's mouth gushed with joy.
　Yes, this is the skill I was aiming for.
　It was Ray's most frequently used skill, and it was also a very useful skill for long-attacks.
　In the sense of a long-range attack, it has the means of throwing Nevra's eyes and spears, and magic when it comes to the crunch.
　Nevertheless, Ray was very grateful for his skill of jumping and cutting without the need for chanting or exerting magic.

"I'd like to try it, but... isn't everything bad here?" I don't think we can cut the garden to pieces."

　Of course, Ray knows the power of flying.
　That's why I can clearly imagine what would happen if I used Hidaigiri, which was the most powerful technique here.
　In the end, he could not test-fire his skills in the garden of his rented house, and he was supposed to test them when he looked around the forest in the afternoon.
