"Wow... you've brought quite a lot of them,"

　That's what Marina said when she saw several nets Ray had.
　In fact, Ray's nets were packed with abalone, sazae, oysters -- exactly like each one -- and strangely shaped shells that he had never seen before.
　By weight, it could be tens of kilograms... no, it could be over a hundred kilograms.
　Most of them have it on their backs, but most of them have it on their backs.

"You may say so," There are many reasons."
"Reason? Is that why you brought only shellfish in the net without fish?"
"Oh, I can't put it in a mystery ring if I live. I've strangled all the fish, so I can store them, but I don't know how to strangle the shellfish. So I thought I'd go to Marina's Spiritual Magic."
"... well, I see. I've never tried... I think I can do it without any problems. Can you put the shellfish down on the ground first, for you won't know what will happen if Ray holds it?"

　Encouraged by Marina, Ray places the net on the ground, receiving the gaze of curiosity from the others.
　It was easy to imagine how heavy the shells were in the net when they struck each other.

"I thought Marina could do it, but I'm really glad she did it."

　Marina opens her mouth dumbfounded when she sees Ray in relief.

"Well, if I couldn't do anything about it, what were you going to do?"
"In that case, I put them in a mistling after they were baked and ready to eat, or cut and ready to cook."

　It's possible because it's an item box that doesn't matter the flow of time if it's stored inside.
　Bistol listens to Ray and looks a little envious.
　Bistol has a simple mass-produced magic pouch of item boxes, which can be stored only in a limited amount, and the flow of time is normal even if you put it inside.
　That's why Bistol is drying fish overnight almost every night.
　...however, the fish that are dried overnight are naturally fishy, and insects are attracted to the smell.
　They are protected by nets, but depending on the size of the insects, they can enter through stitches.
　Also, if you have Set, no other monsters or animals will come, but that's just if you have Set.
　During the day, when Seto is working with Ray, most animals don't approach him because of the lingering smell and signs of Seto.
　Animals that could not sense the signs...or that they were hungry and couldn't help themselves with some danger, sometimes wandered in because they didn't have Seto.
　The result was that some overnight drying would be taken away by animals and birds... and that would be frustrating, but not damaging, for Bistol.
　Bistol never spent any money on travel until he arrived here, and the food was cooked by Bistol, though the Reis were serving it. At first glance, the sight of a big man with a lot of muscle cooking is nothing but strange.
　Still, the taste of Bistol's cooking is even better than that of Marina, the best cook among the Reyes.
　I'm not going to do anything about delicious food with that discomfort.
　Also, for overnight drying, we borrow fish fishing tools from Ray, and we procure food locally.
　The only thing Bistol consumes would be the time to fish and the effort to make overnight drying.

"I envy Ray that he can manage it all the same."

　muttered Bistol, who was watching Ray and Marina communicate.

"Is that so?"
"Yes. I don't know how lucky I am at all right.

　I'm a little dumbfounded by Ray's words.
　For Ray, Mistilling is something he's been using since he came to this world.
　It's a common practice to use it.

"For the time being, can we squeeze all the shells?"

　Marina says so, interrupting Ray and Bistol's conversation, and Ray nods to it.
　As Ray nods, Marina uses spiritual magic to create a mass of water.
　With the sea nearby and hot springs nearby, it must be very easy to use the magic of water spirits.
　All the nets filled with shellfish are wrapped in water and come to the surface.

"It's going to take some time, so Ray can do something else?"
"...is that all right? Then, please." Well, it would be interesting to watch it like this."

　In fact, the water covering the shellfish net has become quite dirty in this short period of time.
　It's amazing that the dirt on the shell and the dirt on the shell are taken out at the same speed as you can see.

(Asari... Was it shijimi? Was it clams, too? I heard you need to stay in the water for a night to remove sand, but that's as soon as there's a marina.)

　Ray sees a shell wrapped in water and thinks... lightly waves to Marina and leaves.
　When Marina sees Ray off, she removes the dirt from the seashell wrapped in water.

"Oh, you're very enthusiastic,"

　Bistol gazes at Marina with a smile.
　The way Marina was asked by Ray was kind of fresh... yes, it made me think she was newlyweds.
　Marina looks happy at Bistol's appearance.
　Marina now makes me feel as happy as well as glamorous as I always do.

"Well, it's nice to be an adventurer with Ray, but it's not bad to have a relaxing vacation like this." --it was, in the first place, a great deal of work from one of the Trent Forests."

　What Marina says is never wrong.
　Solving the case in the forest of Trent would have been an extension of the guillem, dealing with aristocratic nobles who wanted to block it, dealing with criminal gangs who tried to exploit the guillem, and going to other countries to keep them from being touched again... and so on.
　With that in mind, I could have relaxed here for a while, and no one should have blamed me for it.
　However, if you stay too slow here, you'll definitely be in trouble.

(I wonder if the rest will be about ten days...) What I can do slowly here is...

　That's how Marina smiled.





"Phew... yes, it's cold fruit water in summer."
"Grull".

　Seto's voice snarls in agreement with Ray's words.
　Ray and Seto's hair are wet because they have just come out of the hot spring.
　Since there is a hot spring here, it's only natural that you enjoy it's based here.
　I didn't swim in the ocean, but it was only natural that my hair and skin would get sticky if I had gone out to sea for several hours.
　And after a bath, the cold fruit water could not have tasted better.

"Grunt? Grunt".

　Give me another drink. Seto whistles at Ray.
　In response to Set's request, Ray puts fruit water in the bowl in front of Set.

(It might be a good idea to preserve the fruits that can be harvested in spring, summer, and autumn, freeze them in the snow in winter, and then put them in the mistling. --that's what Marina would do with spirit magic.)

　If we use the magic of water spirits, we can use ice very well.
　You may not have noticed Ray's idea, but Seto pauses his drinking of fruit water and turns to Ray.

"It's nothing," I thought of it for a momentarily.
"Grull?"

　Seth, who cried "Really?" began drinking fruit water again, perhaps convinced by Ray's words.
　While stroking Seto's body, Ray gently closes his eyes.As my vision darkened, my hearing became sharper... I could hear the sound around me.
　the voices and sounds of the elenas But it wasn't there that Ray wanted to hear... the sound of insects at night.
　Summer is coming to an end, so I feel like insects are making much less noise than before, but if the season goes a little further, the insects of autumn will begin to assert themselves in a livelyly.

(When I was in Japan, it was noisy in summer and autumn, wasn't it?)

　Ray lived right next to the mountain...in some cases, in the mountains.
　Naturally, there were many insects, and every summer or autumn night, there was something that could be called a bug concerts.
　...no, it wasn't just at night that a concert of insects was being held.
　The cicadas sounded loud during the day.
　Why did you somehow remember when you were in Japan?
　Ray couldn't understand it, but the sound of insects still delighted Ray's ears.
　When you enjoy the sound of insects, you feel sleepy because you close your eyes as a matter of course.
　The fact that there is a set nearby that can react quickly if something happens may also have an impact.
　Eventually, his hand, which had been stroking Seto, stopped, and he left his weight with Seto and fell asleep without resisting his drowsleeping.





"Oh, just a minute," Look, Ray."

　It seems a little bit complaining to me, but there's something gentle about it's a light in its eyes.
　Those who hear Bistol's voice follow his gaze and understand the meaning of Bistol's words.
　With his dragon robe hood off, Ray was sleeping with an expression of innocence, though not very fitting for his usual personality.
　Considering Ray's usual personality, he looks incredibly innocent.
　Originally a woman's face, the innocence seemed to be more emphasized than anything else.
　Especially in the sense of maternal instincts, he is the best bistol in the world.
　When I look at Ray's condition, I wonder if I should catch something just in case by case.
　It's actually near the end of summer, but it's still warm enough.
　Furthermore, Dragon Robes are like light air conditioners and lean against the set, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold.
　...it was Zepyle who built Ray's body in the first place, so it would not affect him if he slept naked in the extreme cold.

"Stop it. If you push yourself too close, you'll wake up Ray."

　Elena tells Bistol, who is about to approach Ray with a blanket in his hand.
　Elena opens her mouth with a slightly proud smile as Bistol slanted his head.

"When someone approaches you in your sleep, Ray wakes up. --we wouldn't wake up."

　It means Ray is unconsciously searching for signs around him while he is asleep.
　And Elena's proud smile was probably because Ray unconsciously recognized himself... and showed that he was totally indifferent to Marina and Vihela.

"Oh, I envy you,"

　Bistol smiles as if he were jealous.
　Although it would have been necessary to get used to reading motherhood from her strong face.
　But the Elenas, who were working with Bistol for a few days, could read it well.

"Right, but I won't give it to you."

　Bistol opens his mouth to Marina, who laughs mischievously.

"That's too bad. If he's a good man like Ray, he'll give everything to you."
"I'm sorry, but Ray is only three of us in time. Bistol, please find another man."

　Marina's words spread, and for a while after that, there will be a conversation called girl talk.
　...though there were some people who were a little difficult to call girls.
