Returning into the woods, the Rays head straight for the cave.
　As he walks through the woods, Lutus asks Ray.

"What are you going to do now, Ray? I think Jaya will be busy fighting against the country."
"You may say so," Basically, what I have to do is retaliate against Jaya."
"Yes,"

　At Ray's words, Beune muttered, with a yellow on his head.
　Above Bune's head, yellow, whether or not he understood the story, was murmuring softly.
　Seeing the two of them, Lutus opens his mouth with a look of amazement.

"Well, it's not easy for you to retaliate against one organization under normal circumstances."
"You may say so," We can do what we can."

　In fact, it was only because he could do so that Dusker asked the Reyes to retaliate.
　But if Lutus was asked if he could agree with it, the answer was no.
　Understanding how Lutus feels, Ray turns away from Lutus and opens his mouth looking at the trees around him.

"First of all, I think it caused a lot of damage in terms of retaliation against Jaya."
"Well, it destroyed the giant's nest in Mejogo, and destroyed the black crystal that was very important to Jaya. Besides, I came to the cave where the giant was waiting. If they tell me the damage is small, I'll review the organization I belonged to."

　Ray, who for a moment turned his head into a giant's nest, quickly recognizes the underground facility in Mejogo in context.

(But isn't the cave more like that than the underground facility in Mejogo? In fact, most of the giants were in that cave... wait.)

　After thinking that far, Ray suddenly had something on his mind.

"Lutus. Is it all because the giant was in that cave? Is there actually a waiting place in other places?"
"...what do you think?" As far as I know, the giant is in that cave and everything. But I wasn't entirely trusted by the people above."

　Though Lutas was a potential successor to Jaya, there are several others in his position.
　That being the case, I'm not so happy as to think that I'm the only one who believes...
　There is no doubt that there are people who have more credibility than themselves, and if they were such a person... there was a possibility that the Giants were actually brought into another place.

"I see. Well, if that's the case... it's probably only going to be a big disaster."
"...wow!"

　At Ray's muttering, Lutus even forgot to make a facial expression.
　But Ray's words are, in fact, true.
　Lutus heard from Ray that the giant in the cave, perhaps because of the destruction of the Black Crystal, was running wild... no, like an instinct.
　Then it would be impossible for such a runaway to have occurred only in the cave ahead of ushering in.
　If you've been using giants like you, you'll be sure to be eaten to death by instinctually controlled giants unless the person you've been using is too strong.
　The chances are very low, but if some are strong enough to defeat the giants, some may be able to survive by luck.
　But there can be no one so strong in the small country of Lavrellina.

"For the time being, I pray that there will be no great disturbance. and now I see it."

　Shaking his head away from the wild scene of the giant, Lutus mutters delightfully to find a cave in front of his eyes.
　Around the cave are the figures of Lutus' bodyguards.
　When the guards saw Lutus back, they looked plainly relieved.

"Young man, you are safe." Injuries...
"No. There was little need for me to fight in the first place."

　In fact, Lutus could have been injured if he fought against his bodyguard.
　However, there has been no real fighting.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　He told them lightly that it was the same for Lutus and that there would be no need to worry about his guards.
　In fact, Lutus' words give the guards a sigh of relief.

"And what's going on here? What's wrong with you?
"No, especially since my youth was gone... oh, maybe I got separated in action, but that's all."

　Speaking with Lutus, the bodyguard turns his gaze slightly further away, saying so.
　There several soldiers were unconscious and lying on the ground.
　It was obvious from the side that he was not dead, he was just faint.

"What do you think as a soldier, to be out of place in this forest?"

　As the expression forest is used, this place is quite deep... it is too large to be called a forest.
　However, since it's not a frontier like Gilm, there are no high-ranking monsters, and it's certain that you don't have to struggle if you're just traveling.
　It is safe to say that in spite of these circumstances, being separated from the forces we were working with lacks the qualifications of soldiers before the lack of training.
　It was no surprise that Lutus should have such a question.
　However, he has little real experience in combat... and, above all, the quality of the soldiers is highly likely not to have been considered at all, given that the dispatch was intended to be defeated.

"Well, you can't say anything to us, can you? What are you going to do from now on? I think it's safe to assume that young people are already known to Jaya. If so, the safest way is to escape to another country."

　As expected, Lutus shakes his head at the bodyguard's suggestion that he probably won't be heard.

"If you do that, you will live in fear of being sent an assassin at any time. It's much quicker to crush the jaya here at once than to do so."
"...if the young man were to leave this country, we would follow him."
"I'm glad you're escorting me." I'm glad... but it's not very interesting to be on the defensive. And I'd rather attack them than worry about when they'll come."

　When the guards hear the words, they sigh when they can't help it.
　Still, the lack of unpleasant expressions on the faces of the guards is probably a sign of Lutus's fondness.

"Then..."
"Oh, it's all over now, isn't it?" as I expected."

　The one who interrupted the words of the bodyguard was Vihela, who emerged from the cave.

'What!'

　All of a sudden, the guards were all breathtaking at their actions from behind.
　It was only natural that Vichela... ...and Elena, two of them, appeared from behind this time, but I could not detect any sign of it.
　If it were the assassins who showed up, it is highly likely that they would have died by now.

(Well, when I'm dealing with Vihela and Elena, I don't think there's anything I can do about it.)

　take a little pity on the surprise of one's guards
　Yero, who was on Bune's head, leaped and looked around him... landing on Elena's right shoulder, watching the mass of soldiers' bodies lying on the ground.
　Elena opens her mouth, caressing Yero happily rubbing her face.

"I came here just in case... but it seems like it was a waste of time. Should I have gone to Marina?"
"Well, the soldiers who attacked me were not by any means elite. "No, maybe he was very sharp according to the Levrellina standard.""In the first place, I don't think we'll be able to assemble such an elite force into a force that is supposed to be completely destroyed."

　Rutus tells Ray a little dumbfounded.
　Elena and Vihela are briefly surprised by Lutus's attitude.
　But that's just a moment.
　I immediately decide that I shouldn't hear about Lutus here.

"Is it supposed to be annihilated?"
"Oh, according to Lutus, that's why the Kingdom of Milliana and the Kingdom of Lavrellina work together to fight against Jaya."
"... oh, I see,"

　Ray's words must have made you realize what the country of Lavrellina is up to. muttered Elena dumbfoundedly.

"That's not a bad aim is not bad. It's not bad, but... it should be a condition that we don't know that the upper echelons of the country are not involved in this case. Now that you know it, I don't think it's worthwhile to do tricks now?"

　With her eyes turned to him, Lutus's face-to-face eye contact with Elena almost instantly captivated her by her beauty.
　But they immediately think about their current situation and speak out.

"Is that the only way I could manage the current situation, or is there anything else I could do about it?" I don't know about that."
"But this is only Lutus' prediction. I can't ask the soldiers who have attacked me, and the men who lead me, if you're a force which is supposed to be annihilated."
"I suppose... though some of them might have known the situation." When I asked other people, they seemed to be having a lot of fun. to the extent that I want to see it for a little."

　Vihela, who was listening, said so with a smile.
　If there was actually a Vihela there, you might have heard it.

"More than that... you two are here, and maybe the Giants are..."

　I don't think I'm going to mislead you... but Lutus says what he's worried about.
　In fact, there's no doubt that I've been wondering.
　It's strange... or abnormal, that a thousand giants ran wild and Elena and Vihela, who were left to deal with it, appeared here.
　A thousand giants must have had such a threat.
　But the appearance of the two remaining players here means that the Giants have finished dealing with them.
　As long as the giants didn't suddenly stop running wild and calm down... the results were fixed.

(Did you defeat all the giants?)

　Lutus, too, has seen a gathering of giants.
　Nearly a thousand giants hugging their knees and not moving... asleep.
　Even though I was awed by the figure of the giant and, above all, the number of giant figures, I would fight and destroy it in the context of its movement.
　It was clear to me just because I knew the reality of the giant.
　For a moment... yes, for a moment, Lutus thought the two beautiful women in front of him were incredible monsters.
　Of course I knew that the power was beyond my imagination. Indeed, Ray has managed hundreds of soldiers almost alone.
　But soldiers and giants have very different forces.
　Nevertheless, it was nothing short of a surprise for Lutus to knock him down without apparent injury.

"Well, for the time being, we have settled a case of the giant. The rest is... what are we going to do now? It's not very interesting to let him do what the Levrellina country is trying to do."

　Ray, of course, doesn't think the kind of thing that the Levrellina country is trying to do will really succeed.
　But at the same time... we can never deny the possibility that something will work.
　That being the case, we had to do something about it as soon as possible.

(First of all, I think it is necessary to inform Mr. Dusker of this incident.)

　Since we were originally here at the request of Dusker, it was certain that we needed to let them know what was going on.
　Furthermore, this incident is not just a retaliatory act, but also a political one.
　Then it was certain that we should avoid imitating the Ray's as much as possible.

"First of all... I'm going to pick up Marina."

　Yes, he muttered.
