[Seto has mastered the skills of Optical camouflage Lv.5]

　The usual announcement message rings in my mind, and the next moment Ray's joy echoes in the forest of the night.
　The night he knocked down a jellyfish monster...just like when he knocked down a black sea bream monster, no one knew what it was, so the monster's corpse was eventually stored in a mysterious ring after extracting the magical stone.
　Nearly a hundred tentacles of considerable length were quite a hindrance to the monster's corpse, but if you touch it, it can be stored in a mistling, so it doesn't matter.
　...although it must have been very difficult to manage the monster's corpse normally.
　For Ray, he thought that being a jellyfish monster would be an ingredient.
　When I was actually in Japan, Chinese jellyfish and bean sprouts sold at supermarkets, ham...and vegetables grown in the fields and wild vegetables grown in the mountains were often mixed on the table.
　The problem was that Ray knew he could eat jellyfish, but he had no idea exactly how to eat them.
　When I went to Galanca to buy seafood, I even heard that they ate jellyfish.
　By the way, I asked the group that caught shellfish to collect seaweed for the time being because it was the sea, but I didn't have to worry about being given seaweed that I couldn't eat because it was eaten normally in Galanca.
　However, I asked for it because it was an ingredient, but in the case of Ray, I don't know exactly how to cook seaweed.
　The easiest cooking method Ray knows is miso soup and soup.
　Or, it's simply boiled and eaten with soy sauce.
　But that's all Ray can think of, and it's definitely an unknown ingredient for anyone who actually specializes in cooking.
　...but Ray didn't remember when he was in Japan whether it was TV or cooking cartoons, or exactly what he saw, but he remembered that only Japanese and a small number of foreigners could digest seaweed.
　However, since seaweed has always been eaten normally in Galanca, he decided that it would be okay for now.
　However, even if you can't digest it, it doesn't mean you can't eat it.

"Gururururling!

　Thinking about including seaweed, Ray comes to himself with Seto's joyful cry.
　What do you think? I did it. Amazing?
　Ray caresses his head with a smile as he turns his eyes round with such a proud look.
　Sett's comfy squinting eyes are objectively impossible to see like a Gryphon, a high-ranking monster.
　That's the impression that the kitten is in love with its owner...
　It's a contradictory existence: a giant kitten three meters long.

"You've been lucky in many ways to come to the sea this time. I didn't think I could get such a large amount of magical stones. No, there are many kinds of them, but they are not very large."

　All of the monsters you get are different from the ones you've ever had before.
　However, since there was one for each, the word "mass" was not appropriate.

"Gruly!"

　Are you listening to Ray or not? Seto is purring happily.
　But Ray doesn't seem to pay any attention to Sett.
　These days...that's what we've been really busy for a while, and we didn't have time to absorb the monster's magic stones.
　In the first place, many of the fighting opponents were human beings, so they didn't even have access to magical stones.
　With that in mind, you can now learn many new skills, eat as much seafood as you like, and have a relaxing time.
　It would be impossible not to be pleased with this.

(though I don't think I can spend this time forever.)

　While the Rays are enjoying their vacation at sea, the building is being extended in Gilm.
　The laymen had to play a major role in the job.
　I've done most of my urgent work before I get to the beach, but if I were to build a big town like Gillum, that would be a real problem.
　Even if it's an easy matter if they're there, it's going to take a lot of time and effort.
　When I thought about it, I couldn't keep enjoying my vacation like this forever.
　And, as well as the construction of the Gillum, there is also a supply of supplies for those heading from Mejogo to Gillum.
　With the help of the Zorgay trade association, there's basically nothing to be desired, but it's not entirely satisfying.
　Even for the Solgay trade association, this case is only because it is necessary.
　In other words, we provide only the minimum necessary supplies.
　There is no such thing as luxury as sweet fruit or fresh delicious food...but very little.
　Therefore, for those heading for Gillum, there was no doubt that the supplies Ray would bring would be the most grateful.

(Well, I'd like to have a little more fun in that area. Marina will tell me if there is nothing I can do about it.)

　Recalling Marina's face, which is the best partisan among them, Ray caresses Seto and calls out.

"Well, set," I'd like to try optical camouflage. I could have been transparent for eighty seconds at Level Four, but now that I've reached Level Five, how much has it increased?"
"Gruly!"

　Leaving it to me, Ray takes the watch out of the mistling with a smile as Seto's throat.

"Well, then, if I give you a signal, use the optical camouflage?"
"Gururururling!

　Following Ray's words, Seto cries.
　At the same time, optical camouflage is activated, and Seto cannot be seen just by looking at him normally.

"You do, don't you?
"Gruly!"

　Ray talks to Seto in a tentative way, but Seto responds immediately to what he says.
　When Ray heard it, he looked at his watch with relief... eighty seconds passed.
　But, as a matter of course, it doesn't make Seto appear.
　Now that the level has risen to 5, it may be natural, but we will measure how long the time set remains.

"...that's a lie, isn't it?"

　One minute, two minutes, three minutes... After all that time, Seto remains transparent.
　After three minutes, I tried to call out to him wondering if he had moved somewhere, but, of course, he immediately returned a cry.
　In other words, it's a definite fact that there's still a transparent set there.
　Ray knew that level 5 would dramatically increase the effectiveness of his skills, but he was surprised that the optical camouflage still had a fairly long effect.
　Four minutes later... five minutes later, Seto came to be seen again.

"Glu?"

　With his head tilted, he turned his round eyes on Ray.
　With that gaze on him, Ray can only be surprised at the extraordinary performance of the optical camouflage, which has reached level five... or even appears to be a bug.
　Considering Seto's speed and strength, it was an incredible nightmare for the enemy to lose sight of him for five minutes and go wild.

"You've done a great job," Yes, optical camouflage... this is definitely a trump card."
"Gruly!"

　When Ray compliments her, Seto grates when he hears it.
　For Seto, he was happy that he had become stronger, and at the same time, he was more than happy that he was able to get compliments from Ray.
　Ray smiles at Seto's delight.
　But Ray wanted to love Seto forever, but that's not the case.
　Optical camouflage has other uses than the act of disappearing the set.
　After half an hour, I adore Sett until he can use the optical camouflage again, and then move on to the next confirmation.

"Now, then, next," . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."

　Level 5 has dramatically increased the time a set can spend alone in optical camouflage.
　That being the case, if you use optical camouflage with Seto, the effect time will be half...that is, Seto is only five minutes long, so it will be longer than two and a half minutes.
　That's the same as the five minutes the set is using optical camouflage alone, or perhaps even more.
　With that in mind, Ray asked Sett to use the optical camouflage while he was touching it...

"Ah... is this the same as when I was at Level four.

　The time spent with Seto being transparent has been extended.There's no doubt about it.
　But it remained the same as before that half a minute, half a second, half a second, could disappear together.

"Guru..."

　At Ray's regretful remark, Seto looks down apologetically.

"Well, it's not that the set is bad, is it?" Besides, if you think you'll have 150 seconds to disappear together, you'll have a great deal of military power."

　Ray told Sett encouragingly, but in fact the words were never wrong.
　If the set disappears for five minutes, it is certain that the opponent will be fatally damaged.
　But... it goes without saying how much trouble it would cause if Sett and Ray had disappeared together and raged for 150 seconds.
　If it's just a band of thieves around there, it's easy to kill everyone in less than a minute if Ray and Sett attack.
　With that in mind, Seto's optical camouflage is undoubtedly threatening.
　Explain what you think is pure, not to comfort Seto.
　Perhaps because of Ray's attitude, Seto changes his expression from depressed to happy.

"Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu!"

　While caressing Seto, who is in a good mood, Ray looks across the trees... toward the base with his magic tent.
　Today we were moving some distance from where the magic tent was to absorb the magical stones that would allow us to learn optical camouflage.
　Therefore, Seto probably wants to go back there and eat.
　There was also a magic kiln, where Bistol now cooks with a lot of seafood.
　I used to make a delicious... corrupt seafood soup today.
　Today, however, udon noodles are mainly eaten with the seafood soup.
　The udon noodles sold at Manjotei are stored in Ray's misty ring.
　Today's main dish was udon (Japanese wheat noodles).
　Recalling the taste of the corrupt seafood soup he drank before, Ray rides on Sett's back.
　Seto will soon start running, even if Ray doesn't say anything, wondering if he wants to eat soon.
　After a few steps of running, they flutter their wings and run up the sky.
　Even if the Ray's were far from where they were used as a base station, they would only have to walk over the ground.
　On Seto's wing, it takes less than ten seconds to reach the base.
　When it landed on the ground, there was a very appetizing scent around it.

"Oh, it smells delicious,"
"Welcome home, Ray," I'm going to prepare udon now, so please prepare it."

　At Bistle's words, Ray turns his eyes to the bonfire.
　There, a large pot of hot water was boiling.
　After that, boil udon and sprinkle seafood soup on it and it's ready.

"How long should I boil the udon?"

　Then, for the time being, he puts udon in a pot.
　Then stir the udon with a wooden spatula.
　After a few minutes, Ray tasted a piece of udon and decided it was just the right firmness... and eventually he could eat the best udon.
