"Wow, oh, oh, "Oh, my God!"

　Screams echo through the summer sky.
　If this had been near the road, the walkers might have heard this scream, but now the scream echoed in the air off the road... above.
　The sky was blue and clear, and in the sunshine, which seemed to assert itself as if it were summer, Hester's screams echoed through the sky.

"It's time to be quiet," You said you wanted to go with me to defeat the Goblin leader by any means possible. Then why don't you put up with this much?"
"Well, don't be silly!"

　a screaming Hester
　The voice comes from below Ray... and below the set he straddles.
　Yes, from Hester, who is hanging in the air with Seto's forefeet gripped.
　At first, Ray and Sett were going to defeat the Goblin leader, but Hester said he wanted to join them.
　Ray, too, wanted to take Hester, who had his comrades killed, but Ray was the only one who could ride Seto.
　And if he and Hester had moved slowly on the ground, the goblin leader could have escaped somewhere.
　Passing through Ray's mind wondering what to do with it was a scene in which Seto used to catch a giant bear with only his forefeet and fly in the sky.
　Clearly heavier than Hester... than Hester, who would have been armed with weapons such as long swords and leather armour... three men... would have weighed as much as four men if they were not good at it.
　You can carry that weight with your forefeet alone and fly, so wouldn't you be able to carry it without any problems if it were just one human being?
　I tried with that in mind... that was the scene of flying in the sky.
　Seto, flying with his wings flapping, doesn't seem to feel heavy at all.
　Other than Ray, it's a small child who can't put it on his back, but in terms of holding it with his feet, he's able to act without any problems.
　However, although the weight is not a problem at all, it is extremely troubling for Seto to have his Hester go on a rampage.

"Glu".

　Understanding Seto's feelings, Ray calls out to Hester dumbfoundedly.

"If you get too violent, you'll lose control of your set."

　The moment he heard the word drop coming out of Ray's mouth, Hester's movements stopped like a statue or something.
　What is currently flying is about 100 meters above, the usual altitude for Ray and Sett.
　But it's just the usual altitude for Ray and Sett, and for Hester, who has never flown in his life, it's the first altitude he's experienced.
　In the first place, this was the first time I'd ever experienced flying, and I guess the altitude of 100 meters for such a hester was beyond my tolerance.

(Huh? But in that sense, I had the experience of flying too when I rode the set, right?)

　I think with my ears that Hester, who was completely stuck by Seto's forefeet, is silent.
　When Ray was in Japan, flying was not so unusual.
　From general objects such as airplanes to helicopters, parachutes, gliders, etc.
　But Ray, who lived in the countryside, could never have a chance to ride such a thing.
　Nevertheless, there was no fear whatsoever when Ray first flew in a set.

(Even if it's your first time flying, is it a difference in preliminary knowledge that you know what it's going to be like? Well, is it acceptable?)

　Images taken by people flying in the sky can be seen normally on TV.
　With that in mind, Ray had a significant advantage over Hester in terms of preliminary knowledge.
　Besides the preliminary knowledge, I think it's a great thing to trust Sett.
　Hester knows very little about Seto, so he can't believe it like Ray.

"Be quiet like that," You're already in the woods. Around here? That you guys were attacked by the goblins. If you think about that, I think you'd better not speak out."

　Ray's words take Hester's breath away.
　He probably decided that revenge on his comrades would be more important than the situation he is in now.
　The quickness of judgment around here...or the cleverness of judgment was the reason why Ray had an eye on Hester.
　Even in the guild, Ray is in awe of his presence, but he immediately made up his mind to accompany him to avenge his comrades.
　Instant decision making is undoubtedly a necessary skill, as long as the adventurer doesn't know what to do in the middle of the request.

(Well, it's another story whether or not the Goblin on the ground can hear the voices talking at a hundred meters above.)

　But Ray's concern is by no means without cause.
　Perhaps, however, it is highly likely that the battle is being fought this time is a rare species of goblin leader.
　In other words, it is an undeniable fact that hearing may be abnormally developed.
　However, Ray doesn't think it's such a limited ability.

"Gruly!"

　While walking up and down the forest looking at the surroundings, Seto suddenly makes a sharp cry.
　Understanding the meaning of the call, Ray looks down on the earth... toward Sett.
　The ground is a forest, naturally a variety of trees, with many leaves growing only in summer.
　The trees dazzle monsters coming from above, and in many places you can't look down on the ground from above.
　But it was just a lot of places, and it wasn't entirely preventable from seeing from above.
　Especially in the case of Gryphon cetos, it is possible to see the ground through gaps between the leaves that grow in the trees, and at the same time some are not completely covered by the leaves.
　And if there were only one or two goblins, it would have been impossible to cover all the goblins completely.
　Ray also looks where Sett is looking sharply.
　It was impossible to find the goblin in the crevices of the leaves that grew thickly in the whole forest, but it was still possible to take a close look at the crevices anywhere in the narrow area.

"... I'm sorry,"

　Ray's gaze was beyond the goblin he was looking for.
　Of course the goblin is not necessarily the one that attacked Hester's party.
　As Hester had said, we had to make sure that they were a hundred or so herds. . . . Ray, who had thought so, was hanging from Sett's forefeet by his shoulders, muttered hatefully.

"Mr. Ray, please. Hurry up and let them...
"Calm down! I still don't know if those goblins really attacked you. if so, even after you have made sure of it."
"... I understand. They are."

　Ray felt a danger to Hester, who declared.
　I hate goblins and think they're trying to kill any goblin anyway.
　If you could see her face, you'd understand it somehow.
　However, Hester cannot see his face because he is hanging with his shoulders held by Seto.
　Hester opens his mouth as if to control Ray's decision to go back.

"I don't know for sure because it's this distance, but somehow the goblins in the gap have the goblins, and I think they belong to the people I was partying with."

　I wouldn't go so far as to say that Harbard is all the same... but isn't it natural that the shapes are similar?
　Hester goes on to say more, as if to preempt Ray's words.

"Here, Mr. Ray," Do you see the stoning part of the halberd turning blue? Oh, Darzy's... it's his hobby. Even if everyone said that he was that blue, he wouldn't cure me at all."
"...I see,"

　I muttered briefly because, as Hester said, I could see the halberd's butt painted blue.
　Hester was able to see the halberd's butt because the flying set was gradually decreasing in altitude.
　And the fact that Hester was able to confirm the part of Harbard's butt meant that Ray was able to confirm the butt more firmly than Hester.

"Well, are you sure?" ... All right, Set. I'll do it. I'll never let you go because you seem to be a smart goblin leader. It's been a long time since I used magic."
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words give Seto a cry of understanding.Despite using the magic of fire in such a forest, Seto has no sign of worrying about Ray.
　That's how much he trusts Ray.
　... Hester, hanging around with Seto by the shoulder, thought that when he heard the words, Ray's use was not the magic of the fire of Ray's pronoun.
　Originally, Ray pretends to be able to use magic other than fire, starting with flying.
　With that in mind, Hester may well have such a misunderstanding.

"What about you, Hester?"

　Hester, smiling as he hears a voice above, thinks briefly when asked so by Ray on Sett's back.
　If possible, I'd like to kill the goblin leader with this hand. But…
　But before Hester could answer anything, Seto's face turned to the forest.
　Then Ray also turns an abominable expression toward the forest.
　Ray's movements were invisible Hester, but Sett's movements were visible.
　Hester, suspicious of Sett's appearance, raises questions.

"Hey, hey. What's wrong with Seto, Mr. Ray?"
"…I heard people's pain in the woods. I don't know if it's your party or not, but there's someone still alive in that forest."
"Oh!? Really!"

　Hester snaps at Ray's words.
　Maybe my party members are still alive.
　That's because such a hope has passed through my mind.
　But contrary to Hester's expression of hope, Ray remained grim.
　Even if you live in this situation, it's not hard to imagine what it would be like.
　In the first place, why is the Goblin taking advantage of its captors? When I thought about it, it wasn't something to please, if not very much.
　Knowing what it means, Ray asks Hester, who is hanging from the set.

"Was there a woman at your party?"
"What!"

　With that word, Hester probably understood what Ray meant. In a different way than a few seconds ago, he immediately nods that there is no problem... then finds out that he cannot show his will to Ray, and opens his mouth.

"Don't worry. All my party members were men."

　Like Oak, Goblin also commits humans, beasts, and elves and leaves their offspring.
　Watching the scene from the previous attack on the oak hamlet, Ray breathed a little relief at Hester's words.

"Well, then," But, then, that's the problem."

　Ray's face becomes grim again for a moment after a breath of relief.
　If you're a woman, you can secure it to commit a crime, but what do you secure it for?
　For food, or to abuse... there may be many more, but in general these are the two.
　And what Ray heard was a voice of pain.
　That is to say, there was no doubt that Ray's worried situation was taking place in the forest.

"Mr. Ray!"
"Oh, I know," ...set, change your policy."

　Originally, they intended to use the magic of fire to bring the goblins together and burn them to death.
　There was also a danger of damage to the surroundings, but they had decided that they could manage by magic.
　But... if Hester's companions were in captivity, he could not do so of course.
　If he had already been killed, it would have been possible to do so, but... I heard a scream of pain, so I am sure he is alive.

"Hester, I and Sett will defeat the goblins, and you must secure and defend the captive," Is that all right?"
"All right!"

　In response to a forceful cry, Ray nods... and jumps off Sett's back.

"What?"

　All Hester could do was shout stupidly when he saw Ray suddenly falling straight beside him to the ground.
