1616 Episode 1616



A few days after Gimekara appeared in front of the Lays... in the meantime, he stopped in one village, where there was nothing they wanted, not to mention horses, carriages, domestic leaves, bodyguards, food, clothes...
 However, what the Lays are asking for is goods for a thousand people.
 Ray and his colleagues understood that they were not ready right away, as a matter of course.
 It is also likely that they can sleep in the sandboat instead of in the open air every night, or that they can relieve their fatigue by not worrying about the rain and wind and the presence of insects, monsters and bandits.
 Furthermore, by continuing to walk every day to relieve fatigue, many people have become accustomed to walking and gained strength.
 And on the very day of the night, naturally the Rays were sleeping in the open as usual.
 ...however, it's not like the Ray's imagination of a magic tent, and the rest of them a sandboat, and a field camp.
 Even though it was a camp in the open air, at a time when he could not care less about the rain and wind... and the food Ray had taken out of the mistling and the finest water he had produced with a flowing dagger to heal his tiredness of the day--a camp that travelers and adventurers could well get angry about.

"Now that you mention it, Gimekara hasn't come yet."
"Perhaps there are a lot of fluctuations over there, too. I don't know how you feel, either.

 Elena says with a smile, savoring the fruit water in the glass.

"I thought there would be some movement sooner or later, as they said it would be meaningless for them to help me if it was too late."
"Oh, now that you're talking about it, did you think Ray had a quick move?"

 Marina tells Ray that she is listening to Ray and Elena, despite saying so sooner or later.
 Ray nods to those words, eating fruits such as a bite-sized pear...
 In fact, Ray had only expected, if not the next day, a carriage and other supplies to be ready in the next few days.
 It was definitely an optimistic prediction, but I still thought there was a good chance.
 Now that it's completely out of shape, it's no use regretting Ray a little.

"In other words, did the Sorge Chamber really not intend to get out of the country of Lavulina?"
"It's not an escape. It's the head office? It's a relocation,
"That's the escape, isn't it? Is that not?"

 That being said, Ray didn't say otherwise.
 In fact, based on Gimekara's explanation, escaping the country of Lavrellina was definitely the biggest thing.
 But... that's why we need to try to accommodate the Ray's as soon as possible and give them a favor.

"Well, the Sorge Chamber is one of the largest in the country of Lavrellina, and it's hard to imitate that we all agree at once."
"Well, and Ray knows that people who have never traveled long distances are getting used to it now, right?
"Oh, we can dismantle deer, bears and boars."

 Seto's first game was deer, but he has succeeded in hunting other animals such as bears and boars.
 At first, they were confused about the disintegration of animals, and that was why women of good breeding vomited.
 However, considering the future, it was naturally necessary to allow as many personnel as possible to dismantle.
 Some of the women have lived as hunters, so they teach the disintegration of animals.
 Naturally, the game that has been disbanded will enter the stomach as a meal.
 The fur was set aside for sale when they stopped by the village and was now housed in Ray's mistling.
 We could have kept it in the carriage because it was not that large... but, given what might have happened, we thought it was safe for Ray to have.
 Through such work, women have developed a sense of togetherness and camaraderie.
 The fact that we are acting in groups of ten may have an impact, and there is no doubt that we have something in common that everyone has been brainwashed and forced to work as prostitutes.

"Will it rain tomorrow?"

 Marina muttered, looking up at the night sky.
 Usually, even if there are some clouds, the moonlight shines through the gaps and you can see the stars again.
 But the night sky today is completely clouded, with no view of the moon or stars.
 And, given the warm breeze, it would have been no surprise for Marina to recognize that it would rain tomorrow.

"It's raining... ...we've had good weather since we left Mejogo."

 Of course, I've been caught in rain on my journey.
 Still, it rained for several tens of minutes... no matter how hard it rained, the rain had eased in an hour or so, and there was no such downpour that it was impossible to continue the journey.
 But given the current situation, it will definitely rain tomorrow... or as early as early as tonight.
 There were signs of rain in the present situation to the point of judging so.

"What if it rains? I hope it rains lightly..."

 Heavy rain...what if it rains so-called torrential rain?
 That's what Marina asks, but Ray can't answer right away.
 With a little rain, there's no problem going as Marina says.
 But if it rains enough to call it a downpour, you may catch a cold as long as not everyone is fully dressed.
 It is also true that horses towing carts are physically challenged to move forward in the rain.
 Now that there are only a few horses, it doesn't taste good to waste your time trying to exhaust them.
 Those circumstances were confusing what Ray was going to do.

(I want to get to Gilm as soon as possible, but I want to avoid overdoing it here and wasting more time as a result. I'm glad I'm getting used to walking, but I've been walking all day for the last few days. Then, may I have a day when I can take a good rest?"

 If you push yourself too hard here, you'll end up getting to Gilm even slower.
 That's what Ray says.

"If it rains hard, let's take a day off tomorrow. Unlike us, it's not only those who are accustomed to traveling."

 At Ray's words, Marina breathes a sigh of relief.
 Marina knew she was getting tired among the walkers.
 If Ray had said he would force his way here, Marina would certainly have expressed a negative opinion on it.
 It's because Marina has lived for the longest time in the world, and she naturally plays the role of stopper of the Red Lotus wings.

"Well, there are a lot of people who are personally tired, and if it rains a little, I think it's OK to say tomorrow is the day off. I'll leave that up to Ray. -- oh?"

 In the middle of her speech, Marina looks up at the night sky.
 However, there is no point in looking up at the night sky in this situation, as the moon and stars are completely hidden by clouds.
 Still, others could quickly understand why Marina looked up at the night sky.

"Rain,"

 The murmur of Vihela echoes around.
 As it said, small drops of rain were falling from the night sky.
 Ray, with his palm up, felt the raindrops falling there, and at the same time a warmer breeze seemed to have passed around him.

"Are you going into the magic tent for now?" and the rain will put out the bonfire."

 With Ray's words, everyone goes into the magic tent.
 However, the magic tent is not completely closed and you can see the outside in order to prevent thieves and Jaya's pursuers from coming under the cover of rain.

"Oh, there must have been some one on the sandboat who noticed the rain."

 A faint voice comes from the sandboat.
 Was it a cheer out of joy or a lament out of hatred of rain... Ray didn't know that, but as it began to rain, it was half decided that he would take a day off tomorrow.

(If it's drizzling or drizzling, it's not impossible to move around.) If I catch a cold, it's not cool.)

 In that sense, it must have been the right time to take a day off to heal your tiredness.

"But I don't know if the people in the sandboat will really get rid of their fatigue in a day."
"...if the ship were a little bigger, I suppose you would not have had to worry about it."
"I suppose,"

 Ray's sandboat is too large to be used for the wings of the red lotus.
 But if nearly a thousand people were asked if they could relax... the answer would be no.
 Two people on the bed, even in a private room... three, depending on the circumstances.
 Some sleep on floors, corridors, etc. The largest number of people sleep on the torso of sandboats... cargo compartments.
 It would be a no-deal to be asked if you could truly relax in such a place.However, it was still more comfortable than sleeping directly on the grass or soil without blankets.
 That's the number of people, though. Toilets will inevitably be crowded.
 Magic items don't overflow, but there are still a limited number of toilets.
 As a result, we often left the toilet out of the sandboat and finished it outdoors.

"For the time being, tomorrow is the day off..."I should like to leave the day after tomorrow."
"Well, but I have to take care of the horses, so I can't say I'm completely off."

 The horse for towing the carriage is tied near the sandboat.
 Fortunately, wolves do not come near by the presence of Seto... but there is still an emergency.
 They had to be fed and watered, and it was no mistake that there were horses and they needed a good deal of manpower.

"Well, but isn't that a good idea in terms of making clothes? Normally, only the people in the carriage would make clothes, but tomorrow we can all make clothes all at once."
"Well, I don't think we can all."

 At Marina's words, she bows her head as she watches the rain falling from inside the magic tent.

"Why?"
"... I ask you, can Elena sew clothes? What about Vihela? Bune... might. What about Ray?"

 If you say so, Elena has no choice but to agree.
 On the contrary, Viehra and Ray, who were in the shape of a tight fit, could not nod to Marina's words.
 The only one who was told that she might be able to sew was Bune, who seemed to be a little bit proud without changing her expression.

"Well, I understand Marina's point. I understand that there are many women among them."
"That's the case," Of course, it's true that many people have the skills to sew clothes."

 Some of the women are daughters of merchants with large trade associations, and some of them are daughters of nobles, though not of high rank.
 Contrary to these people, a woman who has been caught without a place to live would not be able to sew her clothes.
 Some, if not so extreme, would not have sewed their own clothes in a relatively rich family, and others would have left it entirely to their grandmothers and mothers.

"Well, there are still a lot of people who can sew their clothes, right? Then it should be much better than moving and sewing in a carriage."

 Ray tells me something wrong, but in fact the words are not wrong.
 There is no doubt that the number of clothes to sew will increase considerably tomorrow as it is relatively easy to do, not particularly elaborate.

(However, I can't deny the possibility of running out of cloth because it has made too much progress.)

 Up until now, the number of cloths purchased in the village has been reasonable, but that's only a reasonable amount.
 That's enough to make clothes for a thousand people... even Ray, who is not very familiar with the circumstances, would shake his head without hesitation.

"For the time being, I was going to have a holiday to-morrow, but in a different way I'm afraid it'll make a lot of noise."

 With others, Ray muttered as he watched the rain from inside the magic tent.
