Ray and Vihela fly in the summer sky.
　Exactly, it was Seto, with a ray straddling his back and a viper hanging on his front legs... the two of them were flying in the sky without a trace of concern.
　Three days have passed since Ray began to slip his tongue and compete with Mileine... with the scorching wind to find Ambris faster.
　I still couldn't find Ambrice after all that time.
　In the meantime, of course, there is no stopping the monster herd from being created, and almost every day, a monster herd is discovered and killed by adventurers.
　Particularly large were the originally large number of goblins, who were often spotted heading to Gillum to attack people.
　Under these circumstances, adventurers who go around looking for Ambris are often told to work hard by other adventurers, which often leads to a hostile atmosphere.
　No one is looking at Ray, famous for his guillem, but... as a person who is still on the hunt, I was hoping to get things going.
　But if you ask me how to find a black misty existence, I can't answer it immediately.
　All I could do in the end was to search for it visually, flying around the guillem with a set.
　But in the end, Ambrice can't be found and time is going by in vain.
　Again today, the sun floating in the sky is sinking past its apex.

"It's almost lunchtime, shall we eat?"

　Ray calls out to Vihela, who is holding onto Seto's forefoot from above his back.
　Fortunately, the green meadows are now spreading to the ground, with some trees growing, so there is no inconvenience in the shade of trees to avoid direct sunlight.
　It was a perfect place to eat lunch.
　However, in terms of direct sunlight, it's too late for the laymen flying at an altitude of 100 meters.

"Well, I'm getting hungry... Shall we have dinner?"

　The act of hanging from Seto's forefeet is also told by a completely accustomed Vihela.
　Of course, there is no doubt that Seto would disagree with Rey and Vihela that he would eat...or rather happily go down to earth.
　Originally, Seto loves the act of eating something.
　That's why you can enjoy eating raw monster meat from dishes that are sold all over the city.
　And I knew instinctively from my previous experience that it would be even more delicious if there were people like Ray and Vihela nearby.
　That's why, flapping their wings, they head near the trees that grow on the ground... just before they land, one and one of them land on the ground without any particular failure, taking their hands off the forefeet that Vihela was holding.
　As seen from above, no other monsters or animals can be seen especially near the trees.
　There was a bird resting on a branch of a tree, but when he saw Sett coming, he immediately ran away.
　As soon as Seto gets under the shade of a tree, Ray immediately begins to prepare his meal, even though he doesn't go after such a small bird -- a meaty bird might have been different.
　Out of the mystery ring, ready-to-eat dishes such as bread, soup, and skewers line the grass one after another.
　A very satisfying menu for an adventurer's lunch.
　However, those who were now working on Ambris carried their own meals, if not as good as this lunch.
　It's not a request that won't come back to Gilmoo for a few days, but everyone will come back to Gilmoo after the evening.
　That's why you can carry around simple meals such as sandwiches.
　At the very least, it's not a lonely meal, such as baked bread and dried meat, like when you're making a request for a request.

(I think the goblin meat must come out soon, too

　While eating alone with the two of them, Ray recalls the faces of his fellow researchers who are studying how to eat delicious goblin meat.
　Research on how to make goblin meat tasty has, of course, made little progress.
　Ray sometimes gave me spices, but the spices can be used extravagantly because Ray has them, and if you try to buy them normally, they can be very expensive.
　I remember stories of pepper and gold having the same value, and things I saw or read while I was in Japan, such as the war for spices...
　However, spices are not so expensive in Gilm, but they are not cheap enough for everyone to buy.
　Naturally, if you try to use a lot of spices on goblin meat, you'll get an extraordinarily expensive price, if not uneatable.

(I've heard that mint is fertile.) Is it here, too?)

　the most famous and versatile mint of all spices
　Ray's perception is that it's more of a herb than a spice, but I think it's still a good idea to think of it as a spice.
　Mint is very fertile and easy to grow.
　No, on the contrary, if you're not good at it, it will breed to the point that thinning is more difficult than raising it.
　When Ray was in Japan, he had seen his friend's sister grow mint and manage it, and his garden was overflowing with mint.
　Considering that there was such a term as mint terrorism in the world, you can see how fertile mint is.

(Goblin meat and mint?) I wonder what kind of food it will be. Simply grill it? Steam it? Boil it? I think it's best to leave it to the chef. then there is the question of how to find mint.)

　Ray sees mints growing all over his garden at his friend's house, and he's sharing... no, he's given mints in a way that's half forced on him, so he knows what they look like.
　I was confident that if it was being sold or growing somewhere, I would recognize it quickly.
　Unfortunately, however, Ray has been in Elgin for a few years. I've never seen or eaten mint.
　This is hard to tell if Ray could not find mint by accident, or simply not recognize mint as a spice or herb.

(The presence of Takumu should mean that Japanese culture is spreading to some extent. Well, chopsticks and so on didn't spread, and didn't they spread it, or did they simply try to spread it but didn't.)

　Chopsticks, in particular, will be very difficult to use for those who are accustomed to using knives and forks.
　There is a good chance that trying to spread chopsticks in such a situation was inconvenient and did not spread.

(It's not about mint, it's about mint.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　In addition, Ray's friend's sister seems to have decided to grow mint in the garden with herbal tea.
　"Of course, the mint that grew all over the garden could not be used up for herbal tea or cooking, so they divided it into whatever they could get, like Ray, and eventually managed to treat it as an herbal bath instead of herbal tea."
　At that time, Ray thought, "Why don't you just pull it out and throw it away if you don't use it too hard?" But that seems to have been unacceptable because he grew mint.
　Anyway, there was a feeling in Rey that mints would not be difficult to breed if they could only be found, and that they would be a new specialty of Gilm.
　However, given its fertile nature, it may be possible to raise it in other towns and villages soon.

"Ray, what's wrong with you? Think about it all of course.
"No, I'm happy to carry such delicious food, but I don't think ordinary adventurers can have such a luxurious meal. It's usually just dried meat and baked bread."

　Even though it's a luxurious meal, it's a variety of dishes that can be eaten normally in guillem.
　But when it comes to outside the city, it's a dish that's instantly appropriate to be described as gorgeous.

"...yes. That's what I had when I was diving in the dungeon with Bune."
"It's too late now, but how could you put up with such a diet?"

　Nowadays, as Ray sometimes forgets, Vihela comes from the royal family of the Westian Empire.
　Of course, the food served there was luxurious, and Ray's honest feeling was that Vihela, who was accustomed to eating such food, could put up with preserved foods such as dried meat and baked bread.
　At Rey's words, Vihela smirks as she cuts the remaining bread into her mouth.

"Not really. It was so comfortable that I didn't have to do anything like that. No matter how luxurious and delicious the food is, it will cool down anyway if it's just made."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, that's what it is. Hey, Ray. Just look at that."

　As we speak, Vihela's expression suddenly changes from smiling to tense.
　Ray, turning to Vihela's gaze, saw Goblin.
　That alone wouldn't have been particularly surprising.
　These days it's often seen and seen in groups, and that's what I see every day.
　If Ray finds a flock of goblins, he casts a spell on the ground and burns them all to death when he passes by in Seto.
　But Ray could understand at a glance why Vihela's expression changed when he saw such a goblin.
　for the goblins, walking unsteadily through the meadow, were clad in black mist.
　No, the expression "wearing" is not correct. If anything, it's right that the remnants of the black fog are left and look like that's how it looks.Even through the black fog, the goblins still have a lot of discomfort.

"...what do you think?"
"For the time being, I don't think you'll miss it." I've been looking for Ambris so far, and I want some information."

　Viehla agrees and nods.
　Quickly stow the remaining dishes in the mistrings, ready to chase the goblins.
　Seto was a little disappointed that the meal was over, but he nevertheless stood up without protesting against Ray and Vichela for following Ambrice's lead.
　So the two and one follow the goblins instead of flying.
　Keep some distance and move on quickly to deal with anything in the goblin.
　The goblin continues to trudge along the meadow.

"It's plain strange from the look of the goblin."
"Well, the question is, when did that goblin come into contact with Ambrice? Within a few hours, there will still be Ambris around here. But as far as I can see around me like this, there's no Ambris in sight, is there?"

　Vichela's words make Seto cry.
　Even with senses such as vision, smell and hearing, Ambris cannot be found around him.
　However, Ambris is naturally hard to find because of its properties, and it is not easy to find even if you are around.

"I'd rather have a good look around me and find Ambrice if I could, but that would be difficult."
"Yes,"
"Glu".

　At Ray's words, Seto exclaims "I'm.
　Rey and Vihela caress each other not to worry.
　But the comforted Seto may feel sorry for not being able to find Ambris on his own, but he is still not fully recovered.
　Walking through the meadow, patting Seto's back, the goblin's unsteady steps before the lays... stop moving, as if they were drunk, as it could be described as staggered steps.
　It didn't stop on its own initiative, but it stopped as if it had been pushed a pause button.
　It was a distinctly uncomfortable stop, which is why Ray and Vihela, Seto and one of them watched the goblin closely.
　If there's something... specifically, as soon as Ambris shows up, he can act.
　Ambris, created by magical powers, is ineffective in physical attacks.
　It's only natural that there's no reality in the first place.
　And the phenomenon of magical power itself is a formality, and it also has a high level of magical defense.
　The best way to do something about Ambris was for Ray, who had enormous magical powers, to break through his magical defenses...
　As we prepare to act in a way that is safe to do at any time, and look at the goblins, the black fog around them suddenly disappears.
　Yes, as if absorbed by the body of a goblin.

"Oh my gosh!"

　The moment all the black fog was absorbed, the goblin screamed... and its body was clearly bigger than it was a few seconds ago.
　It's the birth of a goblin leader.
