1675 1675th episode



"...there were few magic items for treasure."

 On the deck of the ship, Ray was the man in front of him...call out to the heads of pirates
 The reason why Ray sees the back of his head and back is probably because he is turning his back on Ray.
 However, it's not like we're just doing nothing and making them look forward.
 Ray's hand has a death-size grip on it, and the blade runs from behind under the man's chin, which is certain to cut off the man's neck easily if he moves his hand even a little.
 In such a situation, the man would not feel as if he were living, as Ray would complain.
 In fact, the man's knee trembled, his face twitching, but he managed to endure fear.
 I was convinced that if for some reason a man had to make a big move, he would surely fly his head easily.
 ... it's only natural to think so when you see Ray easily halving a larger rock in half in a death-size, magical way as a demonstration before boarding the ship.
 Since he could not believe his neck was harder than a rock, the man had no choice but to expect his men to steer the ship.

"In the end, the biggest harvest this time is the magic item that creates the smoke screen."

 Ray's dissatisfaction stems from the fact that, after all, few magic items were available.
 If this had been an ordinary pirate, I wouldn't have expected that much.
 But in the case of the pirate, Ray's man who pointed his finger at him tried to use magic items.
 In other words, you may not be able to do it on a daily basis, but you still use magic items to some extent.
 With such expectations, the pirates went about looking for places where they had hidden their treasures, and they found ordinary treasures... large quantities of silver, gold, and white. Most of the rest are jewels.
 There was something to be called a treasure sword, but it was not a kind of magical sword, but an ornamental long sword with jewels scattered on its sheath and handle.
 It may be of some value as a work of art, but it is not very practical.
 And magic items weren't the kind of magic items Ray wanted, such as those that produced light magic items and wind -- the kind of wind that dissipates the most odor.
 That's why Ray was frustrated because he couldn't get the magic items he had hoped for.

(Maybe you're hiding the magic items you can use somewhere else?)

 I didn't have to think otherwise, but it was probably an unthinkable choice, given the interaction between men and pirates, to risk the lives of themselves and their men.
 If this is an ordinary... a very selfish bandit, it would not have been impossible, but the man in front of Ray now is a pirate who cares about his subordinates.
 That being the case, I never expected to do such a thing in this situation.
 Since it is certain that we will be enslaved, it is only a bad idea to risk ourselves and our men's lives by doing such a dangerous thing.
 ...Of course, there's not a single possibility that he's actually acting well and deceiving Ray... but it doesn't seem like that to Ray's eyes.

"Slurrurling.

 When he hears such a voice, Seto approaches the ship with a cry.
 But Seto isn't the only one approaching. There was a figure on his front legs.
 Coming close to deck, they let go of Sett's feet and land on deck.
 The man who appeared was inevitably watched by the pirates on deck.
 It's no exception to a man with a death-size blade pointed at him by Ray.
 The woman, who appeared on deck, had made such a strong impression on the people around her.

"Ray, didn't you go to buy fishing gear or fish? You wondered what it was because Seto came to pick you up all of a sudden?"

 She's complaining in her mouth, but she's laughing, saying she's doing something interesting in her eyes.

"Is Vihela here?" What about the others?"
"Bistol and Bune keep fishing, but Elena and Marina are here together." --she didn't have a casket, so she'd hold it by her feet like I did."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I should have given you a set basket."

 Without Ray, you can't use a set basket.
 It's usually stored in a mistling, so there's no doubt that Ray won't be able to use it unless he pulls it out.
 At any rate, having sent Set off with a letter on the island, Elena and others could have come without any problems.

"Well, you'd better apologize later. ...and the one in front of Ray?"
"Oh, that's the man who led this pirate."
"Hmmm... you're doing a pretty lukewarm job for Ray."

 The pirates, enchanted by the words of Viehra, who was mistaken for prostitutes and dancers, exclaim inwardly, 'Where!'
 But considering what Ray has done to rob us, it's safe to say that the response is very gentle.
 If these pirates were atrocious... like the band of bandits Ray had killed all at Subursta, they would not have sold them off as slaves, and all would have been killed by Ray.

"So? If you've already caught us, why did you call us? Is there someone who hasn't been caught as a pirate yet?"
"No, that's not the case," Of course, there are pirates who have not yet been caught."

 After all, Ray never caught all the pirates on that island.
 To be exact, they would have been caught if they wanted to.
 However, I thought it would be a good idea to go out of my way to do so, and eventually left it on the island.
 It's hard to swim around because it's a sea with monsters.
 It's almost like a real exile on an island, but I've decided that if I'm living on that island, I'll have no problem for now.
 The pirates caught by Ray, like themselves, are enslaved... they decide they'd better stay on the island and live there, given that they're going to say nothing more.

(Well, it's possible to make a boat of your own and escape from the island... a raft of ships would kill you very soon if you were attacked by monsters.)

 Thinking so, Ray looks at the pirates doing various work on deck.
 The truth is that Ray understands the pirates' aim, but as long as he's not that short of money, it's troublesome to bother...

"Why, then?"
"If you keep this pirate in that fishing village, you need to have the strength to fight in case of emergency, don't you think? I need to go to a nearby town, bring in the people in charge, and have them taken over."

 Vichela glances at the pirates at Ray's words.
 Some of the pirates who had been glanced at by Vihela were even waving happily.
 In fact, I'm just looking to see if there's anyone that Vihela can enjoy fighting against when pirates go on a rampage.

(There's someone who's misunderstanding, isn't there?

 For some reason, even feeling pity for the pirates, Ray turns away from the pirates and looks at the man he is pointing a death-size blade at.
 Even in the middle of the conversation, the man did not make any flamboyant moves, and his neck was firmly attached to his torso.
 Sometimes the waves rock the ship, but Ray keeps the distance between the man's neck and his death-size blade.
 ...the pirates don't understand that the actions Ray is doing casually can only be done by his isolated skill and physical ability.
 The man at the point of death-size blade had no idea of how highly skilled it was.
 All I know is that a woman has come who is more deserving of being in the moonlight than the sun.
 And it would mean that I was less likely to be saved.
 Of course, I didn't really think I could get away from Ray.
 But... I don't think there was a zero chance that I could escape.
 But Vihela's arrival made it less likely.

(Let alone...)

 The man doesn't move his face, only his eyes and looks at the side of the ship.
 where a set of glyphons were flying slowly, flapping their wings.

(Is it possible to fly so slowly? Why are there adventurers in the countryside who follow the Gryphon?'

 Yes, it's impossible for an adventurer of a different name to come to such a countryside.
 In fact, the men decided to base themselves on the uninhabited island.
 But... as a result, Ray has come.
 For a man, it's just the worst.

"What's wrong with you? I think you're watching Seto. Did you have any questions?""No, it's nothing. for I never expected to see the Gryphon so close up. I was only a little surprised."
"... well, I suppose so,"

 Ray couldn't believe everything the man said was true.
 But Ray understands from his experience that it's not unusual to be fascinated by Sett.
 And Ray was able to decide that if he tried to do something in this situation, it would be meaningless.
 So long as that is the case, I judged that there would be no need to pursue him here at this moment."

"Ray, I see you,"

 At Vihela's words, Ray turned his gaze to the land.
 There, as Vihela had said, the village had already been seen very close.
 And, near the sea, you can see many villagers.
 The sudden approach of the ship may have brought together villagers who feared another pirate attack.
 Thinking that way, Ray turns his eyes to Sett again.

"Sett, tell the Elenas that we're all right." "Well, if you don't tell me, you'll see it naturally if you get the set from the boat."
"Grunt? Grunt!"

 At Ray's words, Seto screams and flies toward the village.
 Watching Sett's appearance, Ray then opens his mouth to the man he's pointing at.

"Well, I'm going to have you go to that village now, but is it all right to go by boat?"

 This ship is also equipped with a small boat to move through shallow waters.
 Ray has already confirmed it, so he's not worried.
 The worry is whether pirates with their hands and feet tied will be able to move the boat safely to the village without overturning it...
 Many pirates today have their hands and feet tied together, even under normal circumstances.
 But the man even smiles proudly at Ray's words.

"There's no problem about it's all right. for we are good seamen."
"...I see,"

 If you were so confident in your skills, wouldn't you have done trade or fishing instead of piracy?
 That's what Ray thinks, but now that he's caught, it's probably meaningless to say anything.

(If he hadn't acted in such a way as to threaten the village, he might still have done something about it.)

 Ray looked at the man and felt sorry for the bad timing, but it is true that Ray would not have killed the pirates unless they had contacted the village in the first place.
 That being the case, we can only think that the pirates were really unlucky...

"For the time being, I see that you can get to that village safely. I'll have to go to that village for the rest of the time. I pray that you will meet a good slave dealer."

 At Ray's words, the man looked as if he had bitten a bitter worm.
