Why are you at odds with Liubrand and Dallidra? And wouldn't it be good to protect Gorsuch with the Tilla tree that prey on monsters and does no harm to humans?
　Originally, Ray had no intention of actively participating in the conflict taking place in Gorsuch.
　There is a strong sense that Ray is here to wait for the depressed merchants to settle down over the twilight spear issue.
　I was just going to look at it, let alone if I was going to be harmed like a bandit.
　In fact, when I was asked which side I was going to side with at a dinner with Liubrand, I ended up saying I wouldn't side with either side.
　Nevertheless, Ray asked Augusto in this way because of this attack.
　Whether it's Dallidra or Liubrand... let alone Augusto's work.
　Ray could have predicted that this incident, which appears to have been the work of a third party, would undoubtedly have some troubling consequences if left untouched.
　That being the case, I think I need to be involved, and that being the case, I have to know exactly why Augusto and Dalidra are at odds.
　That's why I asked him.
　...if Auguste's opposition to using the Tilla tree is selfish, Ray could even be on the Dalidra.
　I guess Auguste understood Ray's feelings when he was asked with that in mind. He turned his gaze to Ray, then let out a small sigh before opening his mouth.

"I use the tiller tree as a barrier. I think it's a good way to think normally. Well, the Tilla tree doesn't respond to humans, so there's a problem that bandits and anyone who wants to be guilty of something can freely come and go to Gorsuch."
"That's not why you were against it, is it? That's not like there's no way to deal with it."
"Well, but this is another reason why it's never easy to admit. As you know, Sollein has low national power, and adventurers in Gorsuch can never be considered high-ranking."

　Zarroost frowns slightly at August's words.
　For Zarroost, who is from Ghosh, August's words must be painful to his ears.
　But what Auguste was saying was also true.
　The guards in Gorsuch are not so strong.
　Under these circumstances, if you neglect to repair the walls that cover Gorsuch using the Tilla tree as a barrier, you're naturally an adventurer.

"Well, I see that the matter is quite large. But that's not all?"

　Ray interrupts Augusto, who is about to say something more.
　Auguste, who had heard Ray's words, paused from his mouth one after the other and stared at Ray.
　After a few minutes, Auguste takes a small deep breath before opening his mouth again.

"Do you mind? As long as you hear this, you'll have to go out with me until the end."

　an Augusto telling me to be careful
　Behind that was Zarroost nodding silently.

(Huh? If you look at Zaroust and don't check anything, do you know Zaroust?)

　When I see Zarroost, I have such a question, but I won't say it.
　Auguste also decided that, as long as he knew Zaroust was here, he would not have to say anything.
　Also, knowing what Augusto is going to say, I was convinced that Zarroost was cooperating with Augusto instead of Dallidra.

"I don't care, I've been involved so far, and I can get involved to the end anyway. ...and I'll tell you that I don't necessarily cooperate with you just by asking you why? Maybe I'll cooperate with Dallidra."
`Well, you like things,' ...I see. I'll teach you. Unfortunately, I don't know whose ears I have here. Fortunately, I'm far from work today, so I'm going to go home and talk to you."
"...there's Seto, and I don't think you have to worry about that?"

　Ray has absolute confidence in Sett.
　As long as Seto is watching around, he'll feel safe no matter what happens, and if anyone tries to find out what's going on, they'll be able to find out right away.

"I know Ray has absolute trust in Sett. But what I'm going to talk about is not something I can easily talk about in places like this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"... well, if I have to go that far,"

　Ray was a little unconvinced that he didn't trust Seto, but it's also true that he was interested in the secret that Auguste told him.

"Glu?"

　shake one's head at Seto, who asks me what's wrong with him.
　How many times Ray said he wanted us to feel safe here, and if August says we can't feel safe, there's no point in saying anything more.
　That's why Ray, Sett, Augusto, Zaroust... and Cathy's four and one of them headed to Augusto's house.
　...however, seeing Auguste and Cathy talking about their love in that short travel time, Ray was convinced that this was what it meant to spit out sugar.





"Well, that's why I'm against the use of the Tilla tree."

　a room in August's mansion There are only three people there at the moment: Ray, Auguste and Zarroost.
　When Kathy realized that what was about to start was work, she left the room herself, thinking she would be in the way.
　When the three of them sit on the sofa in the room, Augusto immediately begins to talk.

"Oh, I'd love to hear about the situation."
"To be honest, this is a disgrace to our family. I'll tell Mr. Ray, but if possible, please don't leak it to anyone else. ...can you promise me?"
"I can't promise you anything but... I'll keep it as long as I can."

　Auguste opens his mouth with a smile at Ray's words.

"Yes, that's all right," Now, where shall we begin? Shall we start with the conclusion? Actually, they use the nature of the Tilla tree to keep the monsters away from Gorsuch. ... this has been tried once before. And it was my ancestors who tried it."
"Huh? ...no, this is probably the first time considering the nature of the Tilla tree, which only reacts to monsters."
"Yes. ... By the way, Mr. Ray. Do you remember, as I have said before, that my house has been a merchant's house for generations, and that it has flourished considerably in the past, as you can see from this house?"

　Ray nods back, questioning the sudden change in the story.

"Oh, I heard it when I first came to this house."
"I'm glad you seem to have remembered it." At one point I was more powerful than the current Elima business. It was the Tiller Tree that brought it to ruin."
"What do you mean? Tilla trees don't harm humans, do they?"
"Yes, sir," As long as it grows in the desert, it has no particular effect. However, it seems that the story is completely different when the tillar trees are overcrowded."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. I can't possibly try it, so this is according to documents left by my ancestors... they say that when the tirah trees are overcrowded, they attack people."The Tilla tree, which was said to attack only monsters without attacking people, begins to attack humans.
　When Ray hears that, he is surprised to see his eyes wide open.

"Is that the case?"
"Yes, at least when my ancestors tried to sell the Tilla tree to protect the Gorsuch, it caused great damage to people." ...the researchers at the time predicted that the dense population of Tilla trees would result in fewer monsters to feed on."
"Ah... I see,"

　Ray nods back, somehow convinced.
　Tillar trees usually feed only on monsters, but when they are dense, naturally fewer monsters are available to themselves.
　It would have been humans who would have been chosen to obtain nutrients by some other means.

"...you said you wouldn't attack humans, but was that only with monsters being fed enough?"
"Yes, it seems that it caused a lot of damage at that time. And as a result, my ancestors, who were involved in the Tilla tree, suffered a loss to the point of sacrificing their fortune."
"Is this the only place left?"

　Auguste nods silently to Ray's words.

(I see. Dallidra's actions are already... Huh? Wait.) Then why...)

　Ray, who suddenly became curious about August's story, turns his eyes to August and opens his mouth.

"If you've made a mistake in the past, don't you tell Daridra about it?"
"No, Dallidra knows that. I don't think we're going to be able to run wild on the Tilla tree... but we're saying we can keep people from attacking them."
"But Augusto can't trust it?"
"Yes,"

　Ray's determined attitude makes his doubts even stronger.

(Is the information left by our forefathers enough to give us a sense of repugnance to the Tilla tree?)

　In Ray's eyes Augusto seemed to have a strong repugnance to the Tilla tree.
　There may be other factors that make you dislike Tilla trees. It's enough to make Ray feel that way.

"Is that really all? Is there any other reason why I don't like Tilla trees?"
"What!"

　Augusto was breathless for a moment by Ray's words, but eventually nods back to him, wondering if he thought he could not get away with it any longer.

"Yes, I studied the Tilla tree when I was young. I wonder if the information left by our ancestors will help Gorsuch with the Tilla tree. But..."

　It was easy to imagine the consequences for Ray by looking at the Augusto shaking his head in silence.
　If you were so forcefully opposed to the Tilla tree, you might have failed.
　However, from Ray's point of view, Augusto should still be young.
　It is possible to predict that such an Auguste youth may not have been long ago.

"Don't you know that?"
"No, when I heard about using the Tilla tree, I asked Daridra to see me and told her about it. However, Dharidra is also spending a lot of money and resources on the matter. If this project fails, I might be like my ancestors."
"...that you don't like it, and you're forcing me to use the Tilla tree?"
"Probably. I'm not proceeding with this matter without any chance of winning, but I think there's a real prospect. Otherwise, I don't think Dalidra will put this much effort into it."
"But you've failed before, haven't you? Do you think you'll succeed?"
"...I don't know. However, Dharidra said that he had hired a distinguished researcher in the country of Sollein, so depending on that person... But I'm still opposed to using the Tilla tree."

　Augusto's words make Ray look convinced.
　But there were still some things that I didn't understand.

"Why don't Augusto study the Tillar Tree and publish that it failed? Then, I'm sure some of the residents of other towns, let alone Dari-dora, would agree with Augusto."

　Augusto... No, even if Elema's influence is strong, the people of the city will object to it if they find that their lives are in danger.
　Augusto shakes his head silently at Ray's words.

"I've talked to some people, but considering the power of Elema, I've been told that it's possible for Elema to do so. Besides, I didn't do a big experiment either. The scale is within my power of doing it. There are some people who will help me, just in case..."

　They have a life, so it's no wonder. The Auguste's tone of voice was distorted sadly.
