1687 the 1687th episode



"Isn't it time to go home?"

 The first thing Ray said was, unexpectedly, Bistol.
 You should definitely stay here as long as possible to get more dried fish as a product.
 And yet, to think that Bistol would be the first to say that he was going home...
 However, there is no doubt that Ray was a little concerned about Gillum's appearance.
 Every night Elena had a pair of oaves with Arla, and occasionally had the opportunity to speak with Dusker.
 That's because I've been asked a few times indirectly when I'll be back.
 To be honest, Ray got a lot of fish and shellfish, and since Seto was able to strengthen his skills in the sense of monster magic, he thought it was time to go back.
 ...after defeating a jellyfish monster, he succeeded in defeating some of the monsters, but unfortunately, death size was not able to acquire new skills.

(If I stay at sea a little longer, I might be able to defeat other monsters, but honestly, I don't think I can go back to Gilm.)

 The sea is wide and has a variety of monsters.
 However, the ocean field is quite advantageous to them, making it very difficult for Ray and Seto to knock them down.
 To be exact, it's a great deal of trouble to knock down a corpse holding a magical stone.
 They also quickly dive deep into the sea if they are in any danger.
 If that happens, attacks with Ray and Sett will essentially prevent them from reaching.
 It had allowed Ray and Sett to flee the enemy several times.
 The fact that they are protected by the natural barrier of the sea gives them an overwhelming advantage when attacking from the air like this.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going home soon?"

 The one who asked Ray was Vihela.
 The tone implied that Ray could remain if he wanted to, or leave if he wanted to.
 In fact, it doesn't matter to Vihela.
 In terms of food, you can eat as much seafood as you like at sea.
 You may lament that you can't normally eat meat, but in Ray's case, meat is stored in large quantities in a mistling, so you don't have to worry about it.
 In other words, there is nothing particularly troubling about staying here in terms of food.
 Vichela's fourth desire to fight, following appetite, sleep, and s*xuality, is always available here for combat training with the Rays.
 It's not a real battle, it's just a mock battle, so I can't completely eliminate that desire, but it was much better than I couldn't fight.

"Well, considering you've been here for quite a long time, I think you'd better go home soon. Arra is doing a great job in Gilm, but sometimes she can't handle it."

 Elena agrees to go back to Gillum.
 I actually came to Gillum with the aim of spending time with Ray, but I can't afford to ignore the observation that the aristocrats don't make strange noises about the extension of Gillum.
 That Arra is a close confidant of Elena is one of the aristocrats... no, if you're not an aristocrat, you know a little bit of information.
 In the presence of such an arra, if you openly try to get in the way of extensions, it will have the worst consequences.
 A person of a certain position would not behave like that.
 ...however, there are some who think they are absolutely fine, even though there is no basis for it.
 And, to Elena's annoyance, there are quite a few aristocrats who do so.
 Elena's presence is still more effective than Arla's to keep them in check.

(One in favor or one in favor of going back.) Then...)

 Ray looks at Marina.
 Marina knows for granted what her gaze means, so she nods a little and then opens her mouth.

"I'm in favour of going back," It's nice to have fun here, but autumn is coming soon. and it'll be tough to be around here."
"That might be the case," It's actually getting pretty cool in the morning."

 It's definitely getting pretty cool in the morning, as Vihela said.
 What's more, the Reys are right next to the sea and, of course, the sea breeze is strong.
 Still, there are many trees growing near the hot springs, which act as windbreak forests... but cool ones are cool.
 If it wasn't for the magic tent, someone could have suggested that we go home earlier.

"Marina agrees to go home, too. Then you'll be going home soon. Do you mean that I'm going to enjoy the sea at the end of the day and leave tomorrow morning?"
"Oh, that's rare. I thought that if I decided to leave Ray, I would leave right away."

 Ray glances discontentedly at Bistol, who tells him with a look of serious surprise... not a joke.
 I used to be surprised at the sight of Bistol, but after living together for days, I naturally get used to it.
 though Ray did not know how he would react if Bistol suddenly appeared before him in the middle of the night, where there was only moonlight.

"You need to let Galanca know, don't you? I think they're already fishing."

 For the villagers of Galanca, Ray, who bought seafood in bulk, was a very good customer.
 The amount of seafood Ray bought, along with seaweed, amounts to a considerable sum.
 Of course all the fish and shellfish I bought are stored in the mistling.
 Therefore, if Ray goes home without saying anything under the current circumstances, all the fish and shellfish we have caught today will have to be disposed of in the village.
 Disposal in the village is not to throw it away, but to eat it in the village, to preserve it, and so on.

"Well, that's all right. Ray is thinking a lot of people."

 Bistol told me jokingly, but inside he was somewhat surprised.
 I've heard a lot about Ray's reputation, but there's been a lot of talk about aristocrats wielding the edge of a scythe...
 Perhaps it's because the rumor itself is flashy.
 There are not so many people who can act against the nobility.
 They can ignore unreasonable orders, or check them with words, but they can't actually exercise their power.
 It's a testament to Ray's substandard presence in both good and bad ways.
 Of course, Bistol, who has been in contact with Ray for a while, understands that Ray is not the man to go on a rampage without meaning.
 Still, it must have been unexpected that he would go out of his way to tell the villagers that he was leaving.
 However, it was only natural for Ray to like those who had picked food for him more than those who had power, including the nobility.
 Besides the villagers, there is also a need to talk a little about piracy.

"If I go to Galanca this evening, they will tell me that I will be back in Gilm tomorrow."
"All right. Then I'll make a good dinner tonight!"

 With a big smile on his face, Bistol says so.
 The smile was the sort of smile a stranger could scream at.
 Still, the Ray and others, who had spent some time together with Bistol, had nothing to be afraid of... well, they looked happy about.
 I feel from the bottom of my heart that Bistol's culinary skills are superior to those of his regular counterparts, as he has come to do the camp here -- too luxurious to call it.
 Starting with the corrupt seafood soup, the delightful seafood stir‐fry definitely captured the hearts of the Lays.
 To be honest, for Ray, Bistol's food was so delicious that he wondered if he would join the party as a cook.
 Everyone, including Ray, knew it was impossible.
 Bistol, who now works with Ray and others, is a merchant by profession.
 That being the case, Bistol will, of course, return to business once the vacation -- the purchase of a product named -- is over.
 Knowing this, Ray did not pretend to invite Bistol to the party.

(Well, with Bistol, there will be many new problems.)

 Ray and his team have already gotten used to it, but Bistol is hard to make a good impression on the other side in terms of first impressions.
 There are people of various peculiar characters in the world, so it is not necessarily the case that they will definitely make a bad impression on the other person... but if you think about it probabilistically, there will definitely be more people who will make a bad impression on the other person.
 It could be entangled by other adventurers and nobles, or, on the contrary, by the presence of Bistol, not to be underestimated.

(I don't mean to be despised, I suppose, but I don't want to be entangled in a simple Bistol, so that there will be fewer people to interfere with us.)

 Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
 It was hard for Ray to judge there, but there was no doubt that he would feel a little lonely about Bistol's disappearance.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to cooking. Well, then, it's the last day. Let's have a good time."Each of them would respond to Ray's words.





"Slurrurling.

 When I fly over the sea as usual, Seto suddenly snarls.
 Sett has found many things before, but this time it's different.
 a distinctly surprising cry even Seto
 No wonder Rey reacts to Seto's actions...not sure if he's a monster or a fish, so he picks up a harpoon from Mistilling.
 The harpoon with a wire is viciously powerful against fish with Ray's power and Set's mobility.
 This will be all right.
 Thinking so, Ray looks underwater... and quickly understands what Seto has found.
 That's because something big was swimming in the sea that you could see from the air.

(No, what... shrimp, right?

 The swimmer is swimming in a relatively shallow area, so it can be seen clearly from the air.
 As far as I can see, I can only think of shrimp as my swimming partner.
 If they were ordinary shrimp, it would be difficult to find them in the air even if they were swimming in the sea.
 However, I was able to judge it as a shrimp... because it was huge.
 Yes, the shrimp currently swimming in the sea is clearly bigger than the set.
 That's the size that makes me think it's more than twice the size of Seto if I'm not good at it.

(Since Seto is about 3 meters long... 6 meters long? What kind of shrimp is it?)

 For a moment I wondered if it was a new kind of monster, but as far as Set's reaction is concerned, it's not a monster, it's just a reaction to seafood.
 In other words, this shrimp currently swimming in the sea is really just shrimp.
 ...it's not clear whether or not a shrimp about 6m in length can really be described as just a shrimp.

(Is it possible to swim straight like this? If you look at it on TV, you would have jumped back like this.)

 Of course, Ray knows only a few shrimp.
 I've only seen it on TV on a variety show called "A Celebrity Dives in the Sea for Shrimp."
 But still shrimp are shrimp, and it was completely unexpected for Ray that some shrimp would swim straight like a fish.
 At the same time, however, this incident was very lucky for Ray.
 That's because Ray loved shrimp.
 That's why I love the elasticity of cooked shrimp, such as boiled or fried shrimp, rather than eaten raw like raw shrimp sashimi.
 He thought that such a large shrimp would be enough to eat... and, if possible, he would throw a harpoon, praying that it was not a big shrimp, but a normal delicious shrimp.
