1674 Episode 1674



"Hmmm, hmmmmmmmm.

 Ray was humming cheerfully when he came out of the pirate ship.
 Pirates probably don't understand how unusual it is.
 Elena's usual company would have understood that Ray was in a better mood than usual.
 The rope that Ray pulls shows a man with his wrists tied together.
 The pirates were largely able to predict who it was.
 But I suppose it was right that I didn't want to believe it.
 As you are the leader of this pirate group, you deserve it.
 There's nothing we can do about the demoralization of the pirates whose heads have been captured.
 But... Ray is in such a good mood not because he caught the pirates' heads, but because he was able to get the magic items that they had.
 Unfortunately, it's disposable, so you can't use it over and over again, but besides what the man tried to use, he found nearly 50 similar magic items left in the ship and has already stored them in a mistling.
 The difference in the amount of smoke produced by the impact on Ray... and for Ray on the set, too.
 Even ordinary people emit a certain amount of smoke, so I can't imagine how much smoke would come out if Ray hit me hard.
 It was also completely unclear how much smoke would come out when you rode a set at an altitude of 100m... or threw a magic item at a higher altitude.
 However, there is no problem whether you can drop magic items to the target place from such an altitude.

"I'm sorry, sir, that we're not strong enough.
"I'm sorry, sir," We couldn't protect our youth."

 The pirates look at the man being pulled by Ray and say to each of them regretfully.
 Seeing these pirates stop humming and stare at them in amazement.

"If you're a pirate, it's only natural that you'll be caught in due course." If I hadn't wanted to be caught so much, I wouldn't have been a pirate -- that's what adventurers and fishermen should have done."

 No matter how many pirates lament their lack of power or how much Ray apologizes to the man who gave his head to the man he was catching, that doesn't mean that they were pirates.
 Ray's honest impression was that if he didn't want to be caught this way, he wouldn't have to imitate pirates.
 Now that I've been caught like this, however, it's too late to say anything.
 Do the pirates understand this, too? Ray's words... and, above all, many of them express despair at the capture of their heads.

"Well, for the time being, you can put it away."

 muttering, Ray touched the ship... the next moment the ship disappears.

"What!"

 The man who was captured by Ray was simply dumbfounded at the sudden sight.
 The other pirates caught outside were watching another ship being stored in Ray's mistling, so this incident was surprising, but still less surprising than when they first saw it.
 In contrast, Ray's man was left wide-eyed and dumbfounded, partly because this was the first time the ship had disappeared -- stowed in a mystery ring.

"Come here, don't be surprised!"

 Tell him so and pull the rope that binds him.
 Unable to resist Ray's power, the man is pulled away with a look of astonishment.

"Grull!"

 Seth, who was watching the pirates against Ray, approaches him with a happy cry.
 If that happens, the man being pulled by Ray will see Seto... the man will be as surprised as or more than the ship has disappeared.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
"Well, you can be surprised later. Come here now."

 A man who is half forced to pull feels frustrated by it.
 For a man, it's like being on a ship when he was suddenly attacked.
 All of my comrades have already been caught.
 Plus, trump's magic items are all taken away in the nick of time, and when you get out of the boat tied to a rope, you'll find a high-ranking monster like the Gryphon, where you've just been on board.
 If you're surprised at such an unlikely event, you're forced to pull on the rope.
 It was impossible, if not very much, not to complaints.
 But no matter how much the man was dissatisfied, Ray didn't care about it.
 Then he takes the man under the other pirates and ties him to the other pirates' ropes, and Ray thinks about what to do next.

(First of all, secure the treasures they hide... the question is how to take them to that fishing village, isn't it?) Can you carry him to Seto? He's tied up with a rope, so I hope he'll hold the rope.

 That being said, if you take the pirates with a rope, the weight of the lower class will naturally be added to the upper class captured by the set.
 With the weight of nearly a few dozen people, they would normally die.

(But from here to that fishing village, at Seto's speed, that's just the distance between us.) If that's about it, can't you put up with it? Oh, but if it's a few of you, can you manage it?)

 In fact, even if we carry so many people to that fishing village, how will we deal with it... if we take everyone here all at once, even if we tie them up somewhere, the fishing village will surely be confused.
 If that's the case, there's no doubt that taking a few people with you would not confuse the fishing village.

"Well, that's all right. It's troublesome to think hard."

 When Ray mutters, the pirates tremble for a moment.
 That's because they understood that Ray had decided what to do with them.

"I was wondering how to carry you all to land, but I decided to have Sett carry you a few at a time, tied up with a rope. Good, I've never had the experience of flying, and I'm afraid I'llibly."

 Ray's words are by no means false. I'm not lying, but... it's impossible for me to be pleased in such a situation that I'm being carried to the Gryphon.

"Wait! Wait! I'm going to take you like this! If you don't do that, you'll die!"
"Then do your best not to die. Humans, if you work hard, can do anything?"

 The man Ray catches screams, but Ray simply replies so.
 It wasn't a joke, but they probably understood what Ray was saying. The man twitches his cheek and wonders if Ray can compromise.
 Having been a pirate, I've given up being a slave.
 But still... I wanted to pretend that I could not even be a slave, and that I would die meaninglessly.

(Why don't you do something about it?) I can't... I can't... I can't let people who have served me since my father's days kill me without any meaning. Somehow...)

 Desperately thinking, the man suddenly remembers that Ray, who has a magic item in his hand, was in a very good mood and cried out.

"It's a deal!"
"...deal? What kind of deal are you going to make for me now? You're going to be sold off as slaves."

 If you listen to that line alone, Ray is clearly nothing but a villain.
 But in spite of the situation, the man opens his mouth to Ray.

"As long as you beat us, you will naturally have ownership of the treasures we have accumulated."
"Well, yes,"

 The treasure held by the thief is held by the one who subdued the thief.
 Of course, the original owner would prefer to negotiate the purchase of goods, but that is not the case very often.
 And since pirates are also a kind of bandit, it goes without saying that they are in Ray's possession of the treasure.
 What do you do with dealing with treasure in that situation?
 Ray asked me that way, but the man didn't seem to have moved at all even if he looked at me like that.

(Is he the type who is better at negotiating than fighting? Well, he was strong enough to be a pirate's head.)

 Waiting for the man in front of her to open his mouth, Ray observes the man.

"I don't know if you looked into it or not, but I don't hide any treasure in the house where we live in."
"Well, I didn't see anything."It's true that there were many kinds of household goods, but none of them were treasures.

"The treasure is hidden in many places. I think it's difficult for you, who have a Gryphon in your company, to find it. But... if you would take us away by reasonable means, rather than by the violent means I mentioned, I'd tell you where to hide it. What do you think?"
"You may say so," ...to be honest, it's quite troublesome to carry you by the proper means. If you take meaningless time, that's the possibility that you'll run away somehow, isn'

 Here, if a man says he won't run away, Ray will immediately say no if he can believe it.

"I know what you're worried about, but if you let us use our ship that you've erased somewhere, we'll all be able to move to land without any problems. Of course, you can rope a part of our body so that we don't run away."
"... wouldn't it be impossible to move the ship in the first place?"

 A part of the body, the man says, would be a leg or an arm if it were tied up with a rope.
 Binding your arms will undoubtedly interfere with the operation of the ship, and tying your legs will shake the waves of the sea and be very dangerous.
 But the man even smiles proudly at Ray's words.

"Do you think we'll be able to manage the ship at that level?"

 The way he told me didn't sound like a lie at all to Ray.
 Of course, I wouldn't believe every word of the pirates, but if I could still do half as the man said, I wouldn't have had much trouble moving to the fishing village.

(What should I do? I'd like to collect the treasures now, if possible. But believe it... or, as far as the other pirates are concerned, absolute allegiance to this man... but there is no doubt that they have to keep it. Then...)

 Quickly putting his thoughts together in his head, Ray talks to the man with a smile.

"All right. That's all right. However, you will always be in a position where I can kill you. Of course, if you act badly, you won't be killed. Is that all right?"

 The man immediately nodded to Ray's words, turning a slightly murderous glance at the man.

"All right, that's all right,"

 Nevertheless, Ray's eyes can clearly see that the man's knees are trembling beyond concealment.
 and, of course, the other pirates could see him very well."

"Young man, I can't!"
"Yes, I must not imitate him to entrust his life to such a fellow!"

 Starting with the voice, the other pirates scream at the man to stop.

(I think I'm a bad fellow from the side, you know? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 If you look at yourself objectively, most people would consider you a villain if you didn't know the situation.
 Ray opens his mouth, thinking like that.

"Well, that's all right if you agree. --I tell you, you don't think you can imitate me to run away at my own discretion, but you're a good hand at it."

 Ray's ability to excel is an understatement.
 However, as long as there is no doubt that they are stronger than a certain amount of strength, what they say is not wrong.

"…I see. That's all right. Be quiet, too. I'm the head of this pirate company, and I'm leading you. That being the case, if there is anything I can do for you, I need to do something about it. understand me."

 When the man says so, others can't say anything more.
 This was how the story was settled and Ray decided to swallow the man's suggestion.
