"...well, we're putting off stripping the material."

　A flash of death size again, picking up the head of the Del Troy cut by death size and seeing his feet still clinging to the branch.
　Cut off the branches and store them in a mistling.

"If it were as big as an aerowing, I could have gotten out of the bubble-breath.

　Seto's bubble brace has the property of turning into a sticky liquid.
　However, in the end, it is still a skill at the highest level, and there is not such a strong adhesive power.
　With a little flying strength, weight and muscle strength, it wouldn't have been difficult to escape the sticky liquid.
　But... in the case of Del Troy, it's an owl-shaped monster, and it's specialized in secrecy.
　That would have prevented him from escaping the entrenched branches.

"We didn't get along very well. ... No, when you play against Seto, who has the ability to deal with various enemies, you are sure to lose."

　A glance at Del Troy's parked tree leaves Ray.
　It took longer than I expected, but now it's up to me to find the Dark Elf kids.

(It would be faster if I went straight back...)

　Ray didn't want to go through all the stickiness caused by the bubble brace.
　You may be able to go too far, but now that you've already beaten Del Troy, you don't have to go too far.
　The aim is to help Dark Elf's children, who need to hurry up, but forcing them back under the cet will only slow down the search for them.
　As I returned from the path I had come and raked my way through the growing branches, I suddenly smelled a thick smell of blood.

(What's that?)

　Doubtless, they proceed without thinking it was Seto's blood, and eventually arrive where he was.
　There were five oaks lying on the ground.
　Some oaks have heads bent in a straight direction, some have no bodies, and others have lost their heads.
　Of course all five oaks were dead, and it goes without saying who did it.

"You did a great job, Seto."
"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

　At Ray's voice, Seto chants with joy.
　Their forefeet and kuchibashi were stained with oak blood, and there were other missing long swords and spears on the ground, but nobody could imagine such a terrible sight when they saw Sett's happy appearance today.

"You can't use a spear... as I said. But have you launched an attack on Sett? -- seems to be as abnormal as ever."

　At first, Ray wondered if Sett had found the oak and made a pre-emptive attack, but his location has moved little from where he had just released the bubble brace.
　If so, it would be that Seto did not attack the oak, but that the oak attacked the Oak.

(Well, the result wouldn't have changed when Oak showed up.)

　Like Ray, Seto likes oak meat.
　Oaks, though of low rank, are exceptionally tasty.

(I've eaten Iberico, Black, Agu, and so on several times, but the meat tastes better than that. No, I ate brand-name pigs like those sold in supermarkets, so if they were really delicious brand-name pigs, they might taste better than oak.)

　Recalling the taste of the pork he ate while in Japan, Ray puts the five oak carcasses in a mistling, succumbing to the pressure of Seto's round eyes.

"Seto, if you want to attack me, keep your torso still. The part of the ribs will be greatly reduced. and the disposal of the internal organs."
"Guru..."

　A sigh of remorse.
　While gently patting Seto on the head, Ray continues encouragingly.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. and the Oaks are so desperate to resist that it might be hard to get them all clean with a single blow."
"Gagyu-gyo!"

　The eyes of Nebra on the waist are activated by the right hand, not by the left hand, which was stroking Seto, and when arrowheads are produced in the hand, they are thrown into the bush a little further away from the wrist.
　Goblin's scream echoes around her as she watches the gap between Ray and Sett.

"Oh, were you aiming at me, for Seto, or for taking away the dead oak... I don't know, but there are too many!"

　Shouting impatiently, he pulls his death-size out of the mistling and ploughs into the bushes.
　It took less than a minute for the nearly ten goblins there to turn into bodies.

"...I've heard that there's a lot of goblins, but there's a lot of goblins. How many more have you knocked down?"
"Grull?"

　Watching Sett twist his head, Ray thinks it's stupid to go out of his way to count goblins, so he brushes off the blood of goblins on his death-size blade and opens his mouth.

"Anyway, I can't stay here forever... and go back to looking for my child."
"Gruly!"

　Set calls in agreement with Ray's words and Ray straddles his back.
　The body of the goblin remains there as before, and Seto kicks his way through the woods.
　After that, he found the goblins moving in a few animals, but when he thought it was troublesome to stop and knock them down, Seto made a preemptive attack with a wind arrow or an ice arrow, killing them one after another with a blow on the front foot, a blow on the butt, and a blow on the death size of Ray on his back.
　Running about in the woods, knocking down the goblins, for several tens of minutes... you can't find the missing children of the dark elves, and you can't hear the whistles that others play when they find them.

(Strange. With so many people searching in the woods, it's natural for children to know they're being searched. But why don't you come out yourself? ...are you still alive?)

　The worst scene passes through Ray's mind.
　Children alone won't be put into seedlings.
　But... conversely speaking, it's not even a nursery, and it's only natural that they'll end up in the hearts of the goblins, coborts, and oaks.

(They say lamb meat is more popular than mutton...)

　When Ray was in Japan, he liked grilled meat and lamb, so I understand that children like meat better.
　It's not uncommon for food cartoons and TV to feature dishes made with lambs and calves.

(And you're unscrupulous about everything.)

　He shook his head and shook his thoughts, and carefully checked the surroundings to find the Dark Elf children...

"Grunt!"
"Oops!"

　The running set suddenly stops its movement.
　Stretching his limbs had made four ruts on the ground.
　As Seto suddenly stopped without saying anything, Ray, who was riding behind him, naturally loses his balance, but he manages to get back together.

"What's the matter?"

　Ray's mouth was not a phrase... against Seto.
　It is because I know that Seto is not supposed to do this for nothing.
　There must be some reason for doing this all of a sudden.
　As Ray asks with this in mind, Sett turns his eyes to a bush a little out of the way out of course.

"Grull".

　a set of voices in someplace
　I wonder if Ray was watching Seto like that.

"Is there anyone...?"

　The moment Ray utters the word, the bush swings slightly away.
　Looking toward the swaying bushes, Ray slowly speaks to her partner, not to surprise her.
　It's more likely that
　But still... if the children I was really looking for were here, I couldn't afford to miss them.
　Ray reopens his mouth reassuringly to the bewildered swaying bushes.

"I've been asked to look for my children in the dark elf community. If you're in the village of Dark Elf, you know about the world tree, right? I came here to treat it."

　If you're talking like this and you're actually a wild animal or monster that has absolutely nothing to do with it, you can't be stupid.
　Ray thinks about it in his mind, but still... calls out to the bush and waits for his answer.
　After about a minute, the sway of the bushes suddenly increases.some light looking at oneself through the bushes
　Rey reopens when she realizes that it is Dark Elf's eyes.

"Have you ever seen this? It's Seto. It stood out, and you've seen it in the village, haven't you?
"Grull".

　Soon the bushes will shake again and the three children will pop out as Seto chokes not to make the other person nervous.

"Please, Lugudos... Help Lugudos!"
"Please, sister! Please help Lugudos!"
`Nay, nay!'

　Their hair was silver, black and blue, but their brown skin and pointed ears were proof that they were dark elf children.

"Calm down. Calm down for now. ...and I'll tell you, I'm not my sister. It's my brother. Don't get that wrong?"

　I knew I was a woman, but I was never happy to be called a woman like this.
　Each of the three Dark Elf children nods back to Rey's words.
　Seeing that he had settled down in his own words, Ray spoke again.

"And you want me to save Lugudos?" I said, "and I came to look for you, including him."Did you hurt yourself?"
"Yes, yes. He took us under his protection and went to the Goblin..."
"Thanks to Lugudos, we were all right."
"Nee? Nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee?"

　Ray frowns faintly at the constant stream of children.

(I wonder what it is, especially this third person.) It looks like he's less than five years old. No, he's a dark elf, so he's not as old as he looks.)

　Seeing the three desperately approaching each other, Ray breathes out a sigh.

"Okay. Luckily, I have a lotion, so I can recover from some scratches. So? I think there's a man called Lugudos in that bush."

　Smelling the faint blood that drifts, you can roughly understand how much the wound is.
　But Ray, who smelled blood, had a mystified look on his face.
　It's because the smell of blood floating in the air is only faint.
　I don't think there's enough bleeding to move.

(So are they simply fainted? ...that's why they couldn't do anything about it.)

　They are all children of appearance who would be under ten years old. With this number of Lugudos, who are also our leaders... and even in the night forest, where monsters are abundant, there was no way we could do anything about it.

(No, was it Lugudos? It's amazing that I didn't run away with him.) Well, if that's the case, they're probably all dead.)

　The reason why they were able to survive was probably because they were all in one place.
　Thinking so, Ray pats the three heads in turn.

"You've been safe, haven' -- just for the record, only you three and Lugudos went into the woods?"

　In response to Ray's question, the three children nod.
　Ray, who breathes relief at the gesture, urges the three.

"Now, take that Lugudos to him," We've got to go back to the village."
"Yes!"

　Guided by the children who told him so, Ray tries to head for the bushes... before he stops and turns to Seto.

"Seto, you must guard the surrounding area. Keep the monster away."
"Grull!"

　Leaving a voice on the spot, Ray heads to the bush with his three children.

"Nicha, are you all right?"

　Pressed on the child's head, Ray glances at Lugudos hidden in the bushes.
　As Ray thought, the wound itself is not so bad.
　I'm bleeding from my forehead, but that's it.
　But...

(It's a bit dangerous to hit your forehead, that is to say, your head. If it's just pure trauma, you can recover from it... but you should leave it to someone with more expertise. the amount of bleeding is quite small.)

　Stop trying to take out the portion and open your mouth to the three.

"If we continue to treat them without permission, they may do us harm later. We'd better go back to the village now. ...you know what?"

　The three children nod to Ray's words. The youngest child seemed to nod because the other two nodded.
