"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

　Adventurers' voices echo through the woods of Trent.
　The voice is filled with joy.
　Indeed, for adventurers assigned to the forest of Trent, Ray could be said to be the very god of salvation.
　You can cut down trees easily in death size.
　The felled trees can also be stored in an item box and transported.
　And if you're attacked by a monster who recently started living in the forest of Trent, you've got overwhelming strength.
　It was certain that it would be a great force for those working in the forest of Trent.

"Oh, Ray, have you come at last?"

　Not only adventurers but also woodcutters are delighted by Ray's appearance.
　No matter how much we cut down trees, we have been slow to carry them, and work has been slow lately.
　In fact, there are dozens of felled trees in the forest of Trent.
　The logging itself was going well, and the forest was much smaller than Ray had seen before.
　However, the wood that has been cut has not been recovered.

(I think we could solve this problem by increasing the number of people we send this way.) The reason why I can't do that... is there any reason? Well, I think there will be some work at the site of the extension work, and I think I can still afford it because I made a lot of progress before I went to the country of Lavrellina.)

　Getting off the set and looking at the trees lying around him, Ray immediately stores the nearby trees in a mistling.
　Seeing Ray start working, Seto heads back into the sky, flapping his wings.
　It's to be vigilant and to defeat monsters who have settled in the forest of Trent.

"We're going to take care of the trees that are being cut down, and the others will do their job. I'm not going to leave the tree over here as long as I'm here."
"Oh!"

　For some reason, the woodcutters shout in unison to Ray, who cries out.
　Some of the woodcutters have had trouble with Ray before.
　However, even those woodcutters are welcome to Ray, who can do his job.
　Especially now, it is necessary to cut down as many trees as possible, including construction work during the winter.
　If we cut corners here and we run out of wood for extensions in the winter, we'll have to come here in the worst winter to cut down trees.
　The woodcutters never wanted to do such a thing.
　Gilm is a remote area, and it is not uncommon for powerful monsters to appear near the city.
　Moreover, monsters peculiar to the season may appear in winter.
　Woodcutters are more confident in their skills than in the general public, but if they are asked if they can deal with monsters, that's not true.
　That's why the woodcutters immediately start cutting trees to meet their quotas.

(Well, if we really run short of wood in winter, that's what I'll be asked for.)

　When you send a woodcutter in winter, you need guards, and you need people to carry the felled trees.
　It is very difficult to do such a thing in the snow.
　But if you send a ray, it will be cut down to death size and stored in a mistling. If you travel to and from Gilm by set, you'll arrive in a few minutes.
　In any case, it's easier to send Ray than to send several woodcutters and adventurers.
　...the question is whether Ray will accept it.

"Oh, that's great...That's a lie. They keep storing trees like that."
"Oh, have you never seen it?" He's Ray. crimson."
"I know that," There's no one like that but crimson on the Gryphon. But what a little fellow like that!"

　A short distance away, adventurers in the forest of Trent were talking to each other as the bodyguards of a woodcutter.

(A little while ago, adventurers used to cut down trees to make money, but the reason why they stopped doing so is because they couldn't carry them all?)

　Despite this doubt, the trees that have been cut down are kept in mistling one after another tree after another.

"Roll-rolling.

　an unexpected cry
　Ray, who knows it's Seto's call, is not particularly surprising, but some woodcutters and adventurers are surprised at the sudden sound of Seto's call.

"That's Seto's cry, so don't worry!"

　Strange misunderstanding... that's why Ray screams at those around him so that he doesn't get confused that the monster attacked him.
　Seto's call is so distinctive that most people never mistook it for a monster attack, but some of them heard Ray's words and had a blatant look of relief.
　If you know Seto, but only know him, it's no surprise to see him fight against the enemy.
　A little while later...

"Rolling".

　Seto returns, flapping his wings.
　What I'm holding on to with my forefeet is the body of an oak.

"Oak? ... troublesome."

　For those who eat it, the meat called oak is delicious and helpful.
　But given the monster's habit of oak, it's not at all pleasant to have an oak in such a close proximity.
　Many people who see the dead oak brought by Sett are getting more stern, perhaps knowing it.
　It's a woman adventurer with a particularly stern look on her face.
　It's only natural that a man should be killed, but if a woman is caught in an oak, there's only the worst future.
　Looking around at the others, Ray calls out to Sett.

"Thank you, Seto," I'll keep the oak for now."
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto exclaims joyfully.
　Ray opens his mouth, caressing Sett, who rubs his head against him in praise.

"And, as for the oak... Is there anything else? Is there no such thing as a village?"
"Gruly!"

　Seto's cry made no sense to those around him, but his partner Ray understood it.
　...like Vichela, who understands Bune's words very well.
　Anyway, Ray nods back to those around him watching him closely.

"It's all right. For the time being, there seems to be no oak settlement around here. Of course, as long as there was an oak, I don't think I could feel completely at ease."

　Ray's words give everyone a sigh of relief.
　Oaks are not as powerful monsters as those around Gilm.
　But it is also one of the worst in terms of its ferocity and habit.
　However, oak meat is delicious compared to its rank, so it's literally a delicious monster.

"Well, set," If you find an oak, continue to hunt it aggressively. Is that all right?"
"Gruly!"

　a short cry at Ray's words
　They didn't know what Seto was saying, but now they understand what he was saying.
　In other words, when I hunted the oak aggressively, I could see it saying so.
　Seto grates happily, perhaps because she understood that people around her were happy with her reply.

(Yes, that's fine, but... if this happens, I can't go back there at once.)

　Once the extension work has been completed, Ray has been thinking of returning to the Soulas, but once he finds out that Oak is in the forest of Trent, he can't do so.
　Oaks were also an excellent game for Ray.The size of Trent's forest, however, is considerable.
　It seems impossible to completely annihilate a monster like an oak or a goblin, as long as you don't know how many monsters are entering.
　No matter how keen Seto's senses are, if there are more people coming into the forest of Trent, there's nothing we can do.
　It's only natural that the number of monsters will increase while Seto knocks them down.

"For now, let Seto do his job for the monsters in the forest of Trent. That would be more efficient than we would move around in the woods and knock down monsters."

　Ray told me that, but the fact that adventurers who are being escorted by the guards here are not really good at dealing with monsters was another reason.
　A skilled adventurer has plenty of other jobs to do.
　Most importantly, while Guild is undergoing construction work, ordinary requests are being sought in the guild.
　escort, subjugation, extraction, investigation... and so on
　Such a request cannot, of course, be left to those who have come to Gilm for this extension work.
　As a result, talented adventurers like those in Gilm were often asked to do so naturally, and were beginning to create a sort of segregation.
　However, it is only because of this tendency, and if you are asked to show off your skills at Guild, you may fail... if you are not good enough or lucky enough, you may succeed.
　On the contrary, adventurers who had been in Gillum for a long time sometimes helped with the construction work as if they were whimsical or making pocket money.
　In that sense, the adventurers here today are typical extension workers who came to Gillum looking for work.
　Ray is not comfortable enough to ask such a person to kill the monster in the forest of Trent.

(Well, if it's a goblin monster, it's fine... if there's a monster out of their control, it'll pay for its immaturity in death.)

　I don't want Ray to do that, either.

"Slurrurling.
"Oh, good luck, Set.
"If there's any monster that looks good, bring it over here."
"Stupid, delicious monsters are basically high-ranking monsters. How can we do that?"
"If it were an oak, I might be able to do something about it!"
"Don't be silly, you've gotta be silly." What would happen if there were two or three of them, let alone one? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
"Well, well, that's..."

　The man who was told to convolutionize cannot argue any further.
　In fact, as long as you don't know what's going to come out, there's a possibility that if you're bad at it, you'll get a high-ranked monster like Rank B Monster.

(Well, you don't have to worry about the existence of Rank A monsters.)

　Rank A monsters, including Gryphon like Seto, are rarely encountered for life if you live normally.
　Even though I was an adventurer, I was lucky to see it once in a lifetime.
　Rank A monsters, of course, are extremely powerful monsters. If an ordinary adventurer encounters such a monster, it is certain that he will lose his life there.
　In that sense, I may be able to express it once in a lifetime.

"Look, don't talk, do your job! Your job will be our bodyguard! What are you going to do if you are attacked by a monster while we are cutting a tree?"

　One of the woodcutters yells in a low voice.
　The voice has the power to frighten an adventurer in charge of bodyguards.
　The rant ends the monster's story about the forest of Trent in tatters.
　Confirming this, the woodcutter calls out to Ray.

"Ray, when you have all the felled trees, bring them to Gilm. It's all right now, but there are quite a few trees over there."

　a woodcutter who tells Ray in a low voice as if he were yelling at adventurers
　Ray nods to the words and keeps the remaining trees in the mistling.
　Seeing Ray like that, the other adventurers return to their respective jobs.
　Fortunately, it's not known if it's true in this case, but for a while from today it's been a long time since the previous day that Ray is coming to the forest of Trent, and you don't have to drive the felled trees to Guillum.
　The fewer adventurers are here, but it was fortunate for adventurers that they didn't have to do extremely exhaustive work loading and unloading.
　Thus the adventurers would devote themselves firmly to their work, rejoicing at Ray's arrival.
