Ray -- exactly death-sized -- and Seto had finished absorbing the magical stones and walked towards the house where the Elenas were renting.
　Nevertheless, Seto still looks a little disappointed, and in Ray's eyes he seems to be depressed.

(Did you really want to absorb aerowing magic stones? ... well, I understand.)

　Like death-size flying, Seto's skills have some wind attributes.
　Wind Arrow and Tornado are it.
　Wind Arrows are weak in power, but they are fast in attack, and at the same time, they are wind-made arrows, so they are hard to see.
　Although Seto had many skills, Wind Arrow is a relatively common skill set for long-range attacks.
　And above all, tornadoes.
　a fire whirlwind in which Ray became nicknamed crimson
　Its offensive methods, which have the power to clean up the surroundings, begin with Ray's magic of fire and Sett's Tornado skills.
　By incorporating many of Ray's skills and magic, we grew and fused it, and eventually a tornado made of flames...It's going to be a fire whirlwind of fire.
　In other words, strengthening the tornado will strengthen the fire whirlwind.
　That's why Seto wanted an aerowing magic stone, but it was fascinating that Ray could also improve his level of jumping, and in the end, Seto gave up the aerowing magic stone against Ray.

"Guru..."

　Ray's... death-size splashing is, of course, powerful.
　No, I'm even happy about it.
　Of course, Seto is happy and has no complaints about it that his favorite Ray will become stronger. 　
　Still, it was in Seto that he wanted to absorb the aerowing magic stone.
　At Seto's head, Ray, who was walking next to him, gently reaches out.

"Well, aerowings are still in the woods, and let's look forward to exploring them in the afternoon. what?"
"Grull".

　Perhaps Ray's words have made her feel a little better, Seto throats more vigorously than she did a few seconds ago.
　For this set, Ray takes a sandwich from Mistilling and hands it over.
　It hasn't been long since lunch was over, but it still doesn't bother Seto to eat one or two sandwiches.
　She happily finishes eating the sandwich Ray gave her... and, perhaps now, she starts walking next to him.

(I've made sandwiches, but isn't it too easy to make yourself feel better?)

　Ray understood Seto was a poor eater, but he still felt a little uneasy when he saw his sandwich make him feel better.
　I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if I'm caught in food someday.
　...but Seto doesn't get food from everyone.
　They use their ability to sense the five senses, the sixth sense, and the magical powers to judge their friendly existence.
　With hostility...or never spoils or harbors, let alone receives food, from yourself or anyone who approaches you to take advantage of Ray.

"Gururu... Gururu?"

　Seto, who was in a good mood, suddenly turned his gaze forward as he approached the house that Elena had rented a house.
　The gaze reflected two small figures that came straight up to me.
　One is a polo, running nine tails in the wind on the ground.
　and the other was a yellow, flying through the sky with wings fluttering wide.
　Both of them are approaching Seto at full speed.
　the earth's run and the air's
　Usually the faster one is the faster one, but this time the polo running on the ground has outperformed the other in speed.
　But...yet, it was Yero who eventually reached the finish line and reached the top of Seto's back.
　Polo running on the ground could reach Sett's back by either climbing from Sett's feet or jumping like a triangular jump with Ray as a wall.
　But Ray's position is not the right position for Polo to triangulate, which results in Polo opting to climb up Sett's body.
　In comparison, Yero, flying in the sky, only has to land straight on Seto's back.
　It is necessary to slow down before landing, but in the case of yellow, it is easy to slow down by spreading its wings and obtaining air resistance.
　As a result, it was Yero who eventually won, even though Polo was ahead of him in speed.

"Squeak! Squeak!"
"Squeez..."

　Contrary to the joyful yello's voice, polo shows a melancholy.
　Polo was so confident in his speed that he never expected to lose.
　There was a clear picture of the winners and losers.

"Rolling".

　Seto chants at such two animals.
　It sounds as if you're telling them to get along better, not blaming them for competing for a goal on their own back.
　In fact, when they heard the cry, Yero and Polo lay down on Seto's back without further fighting.

(You're acting like an older man.)

　In fact, Seto is older than Yero, but younger than Polo... neither Ray nor Seto knows it.
　The slightly larger polo than squirrels may have added to the misunderstanding.

"Polo, I suddenly started running, so I wondered where it went..."
"It seems that he and I got a sniff of Seto's presence and moved with him."

　As they spoke, Elena and Earth emerged from the premises, each armed enough to describe themselves as fully armed.
　From behind, you can see Marina, Vihela, Arra and Bune, who are also equipped.

"You're all set,"

　Ray muttered as he watched the six of them.

"Oh, that's the same with Ray, isn't it? ... Well, Ray doesn't have to be equipped in the first place."

　Marina tells Ray a little envious.
　And others were looking at Ray in a similar way.

"You may say so," My weapons take up a lot of space and get in the way if I carry them around."

　Ray's death size is about two meters long, and the blade is more than one meter long.
　If you walk with such a huge weapon in your hand, it stands out.
　And most of all, no matter how light Ray's death size was, it was only natural that it would get in the way.
　Also, Ray is good at throwing spears, but he can't go out of his way to carry a throwing spear.
　If he does so, Ray has a few to a dozen spears and a death-size hand, which is not appropriate for walking where people are.

"Well, that sounds interesting, though." If possible, I'd like to see that kind of Ray. though it will only be a spear or a hindrance in fighting."

　Vihela himself is light... wearing thin clothing as a protective gear, so there must be a sense of repudiation for heavy equipment.
　Also, I agree with Vihela that we also wear only leather breast pads, not leather armour, with the same emphasis on lightness.
　Marina opens her mouth when we communicate like that.

"Now, let's go into the woods," I should like to examine the surroundings of the forest in the sense of examining the abnormalities that are taking place in the forest -- even in the midst of a mysterious boundary."
"It's too late to say that the treatment of the world tree is over, so do we have to go out of our way to investigate and solve the problem? Wouldn't that happen naturally over time?"

　Marina shakes her head to Elena, who asks, sliding her finger over Mirage's sheath.

"It is true that now that the world tree has recovered, it may recover naturally over time. But it may not recover. As long as we don't know what's going on, I'd like to get this out of the way in the near future."

　There was no one to say no to the remark.
　Earth, the only one among them who had just met Ray, had originally come to investigate the unusual situation in the forest, so I think that's the best way to solve it.
　Marina nods small and opens her mouth, confirming that no one has anything to complain about.

"Well, let's decide on a set,"
"... the combination?"

　Ray mutters why such words appear.
　Marina nods to Ray as if she were right.

"You know? Most of the people here have more than enough power to fight."Most of the people present nod back to what Marina said.
　People like Ray, Elena, and Vihela who are confident in their abilities.
　Arra also had some confidence in her pure fighting power.
　Earth, as a Rank C adventurer, is also fairly confident in his abilities along with Polo.
　...but only the robber Bune was not very confident in his fighting power and remained silent.
　Marina's words go on, looking around at them.

"It's inefficient to act together because there are people who have that strength. Having said that, it is difficult to get in touch with others when something happens. and that being the case, it would be better for you to act in two or three separate ways."
"...is it me too?"

　That's what Ray said.
　Ray himself has confidence in his fighting power, and Ray has a presence called Seto.
　It was certain that one of these men and one of them would be more than enough.
　I'm sure Marina understood it. Think a little while looking at Ray and Sett.
　I understand that there are no military problems. But when Ray is stuck, it hurts that when Set comes to let him know, no one can communicate with him.

(Oh, but what will happen to Ray?)

　That's because I know Ray's ability.
　Ray doesn't think he can beat anyone or anything.
　Still, given Ray's strength, I didn't think the appearance of a slightly stronger monster in the forest would do anything about it.

(And...)

　You notice the gaze directed at you and look at the master of that gaze.
　I was talking to myself, and it was true that my eyes were directed at me, but those eyes... my eyes were stronger than the others.
　In other words, Elena and Vihela.

(I guess you think I'll take this opportunity to work with Ray.)

　as guildmasters, grandchildren of the elders of this village, and marina.
　Think about what choices you're going to make... and finally speak to him.

"Well, Ray and Seto wouldn't be difficult to get through if there was any problem. But be careful not to go too far up in the air. "It's good for people inside, but if you go too far up there, you may end up touching the boundary of confusion."""

　Marina jokingly tells me that Rey would break the boundary of confusion or make it normal, and everyone who heard it smiled a little.
　That's because I understood that the statement was true.
　But at the same time, I understand that Ray could not have done such a thing.
　I came here to treat the world tree, but I can't do anything about it.

"That's why Ray is with Sett. The other thing left is..."

　Marina's gaze is directed at the remaining members.
　The rest are Elena, Vihela, Arla, Bune, Earth, and myself.

(If you put polo in it, six people and one... If so, do you divide it into three or two groups?)

　Marina hesitates for a moment, but eventually decides that she should look in as many directions as possible, and chooses a couple.

"Elena and Arla, Vichela and Bune, me and Earth," -- a little safe, but how about this combination?"

　The combination, as Marina said, was a perfect combination to call safe.
　At the same time, however, I could say that the combination of Arra and Beune, who are used to support Elena and Vihela, is a suitable combination for the best of their abilities.

(And if I could adjust well with Earth...)

　Thus the division of teams was successfully decided.
