1732 Episode 1732



For the time being, after buying plenty of similar preserved food, Ray and Elena headed out of the Goltz.
 There was no doubt that the dismantling of Kelpies and Galangiga had not been completed since it was not even noon, but the reason why we went out of town... or rather because of the message that rang through Ray's mind.
 Ray, however, understands most of what happened as he heads out of the Goltz.
 This is because when Ray was acting separately from Sett before, there was an announcement message saying that he had acquired skills.
 In other words, Seto, who is acting separately from Ray, may have acquired new skills by fighting with some kind of monster and eating the magical stones of the monster he knocked down.
 I knew that, but Ray is a little worried about... what kind of monsters he knocked down.
 Ray doesn't quite understand how witchcraft can acquire skills.
 However, having mastered many skills, I understood the general trend.
 It is, however, only to a very general extent.
 That means that the higher the rank of monsters and rare species, the easier it is to acquire skills.
 That also means it's hard to master skills on a weak monster's magic stone.
 In other words, Seto's Earth Arrow's rise to the next level meant he had probably fought a monster of his own strength.
 That's why Ray and Elena went out of the Goltz.
 Maybe Seto could bring the monster's corpse.

"Ray, is Set really coming?"
"Perhaps... if you bring me a monster's corpse, I'd like you to dismantle it as well."

 At Ray's words, Elena turns to those dismantling Kelpies and Galangiga.
 There, many adventurers were still desperately dismantling monsters.
 though Kelpey had advanced to the point that one was completely disassembled and the other would be finished in less than twenty minutes.
 In contrast to Kelpy, Galangiga... was still in the process of scalding, partly because of his size.
 It's natural. Even the scales of the regular galangiga can be used for alchemy or medicine.
 The same goes for spines hidden under scales.
 In other words, it is necessary to peel off the scales one by one without damaging them, and to remove the thorns underneath them without breaking them.
 And it was clear to everyone that the dismantling of the Galangiga was quite large... that the dismantling of the Kelpy was the opening act.

"As far as Galangiga is concerned, I don't think I can do anything about it."
"It seems so,"

 Carefully scalding and looking at the adventurers who are taking them to the place where they are collecting them, they decide that they can't afford to dismantle a new monster, if not very much.
 Perhaps she noticed them, but a guild staff member in her twenties approached her, giving instructions to adventurers nearby.

"What's wrong with you? Anything you want to do? If you're looking at the demolition site, there's no problem."
"Huh? Oh, no. I think Seto knocked down the monster. Maybe he'll bring the monster's corpse, so I'm here to see if he can dismantle it additionally..."

 The Guild Lady looks mystified when she hears Seto knocked down the monster.
 It's only natural. I've been watching Seto fly off somewhere by himself.
 Nevertheless, Ray is convinced that for some reason Seto has knocked down the monster.
 No, as long as Seto is a glyphon, it's no wonder he hunts monsters.
 I know that, but why is Ray so sure of it... besides, it's very strange to bring the body here.
 However, I don't think I can get an answer even if I hear about it here, and the guild staff are convinced that they will be able to communicate in some way because they are a tamer for the time.

"Well, it depends on how big the monster is. If it's as big as Kelpey, I don't have any problem, but... was it Galangiga? It's as big as that."
"Oh... I suppose,"

 Given the sheer size of the galangiga, I don't think the people who handle it can afford it.
 When Ray was satisfied with what the guild staff said...

"Ray, here we go. Good job."

 Ray glances into the sky at Elena's words.
 There was a figure of Seto flapping his wings.
 And, as Ray anticipates, Seto is carrying the monster's supposed corpse with his forefeet.

"Is that a bear? It has two tails and a yellow hair color.

 As far as Ray knows, bears often have brown or black hair.
 Some bears, like polar bears, have white hair.
 At any rate, Ray knows no yellow bear.
 Also, looking slightly larger than Seto means that it is over 3 meters long.

"That's unusual. It's an Argos bear. I can't believe you were around here... or did you actually hunt something far away given the speed at which the Gryphon moves?"

 Guild officials tell him so, but when Ray sees the body of a monster called Argos Bear, he suddenly makes a bad guess.
 Since it's a bear-shaped monster, it's basically a forest, a forest, a mountain...
 But as far as guild officials are concerned, it means they are not the kind of monsters that live around here.
 And Seth's acquisition of skills is probably more than a certain amount of strength.
 From these things, Ray's conclusion was...

(Isn't that the monster in the dungeon?)

 Monsters such as goblins, cobolts and oaks fell from dungeons on cliff walls and died.
 And on the second floor of the dungeon is a forest, meaning the monsters were free to move back and forth.
 The inhabitants of the Goltz had obtained materials for dead monsters, proof of subjugation, and magical stones, but falling from a dungeon does not mean that there is no dead monster.
 In other words, I suspect the monster is an Argos bear.

(The question is, can you live even if you drop that height... not like a yellow bird? Yellow? The Argos bear's hair is yellow... Is this coincidence?)

 Ray has such a question, but as he thinks about it, Sett descends to earth.
 Naturally, the people who dismantled the Galangiga noticed the existence of the set...

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh?
"Wow, the Gryphon has a bear monster. ... Do you have one? Why do you have one like that? It's about the same size, isn't it?"
"Hold on! Hold on to it, I don't care! The scales will come off in a strange way! There are thorns, and it's dangerous!"

 The sudden appearance of Seto surprised everyone, though some of them complained that it would interfere with the dismantling of Galangiga.

"And it was that Argos bear. Will you let that monster in for the demolition?"
"All right, leave it to me,"

 Ray glances in surprise at the guild official, who readily declares so.
 Even though it was an additional job, he didn't seem to be worried at all... on the contrary, he nodded easily without consulting his boss.

"I asked you to do it, but is it okay? If you want to talk to Vanilas...""No, the guildmaster told me to do as much as possible to meet Ray's needs, so there's no problem."

 a guild official who says so and smiles
 The smile contains a strong affection for the Rays.
 A dungeon suddenly formed on the side of the golts...I was half sure, but I didn't know if it was really a dungeon or not.
 But... it was actually a dungeon, and it was a dungeon that I didn't think was just finished.
 It's a place where the adventurers of the Goltz...or even ordinary people, who are not adventurers, approached for the material of a dead monster after falling from a dungeon.
 Fortunately... really fortunately, there wasn't any major problem when the inhabitants of the Golz were up close to the dungeon.
 There was a case of yellowbirds, which were also resolved within the day by the presence of the laymen.
 That's why Vanilas was so grateful to the Ray's and explained the situation to the guild staff.
 If you rely on them, there's no problem if the number of monsters to dismantle has increased by one or two.
 Fortunately, the Argos Bear that Seto brought is not that big, though it might have been a bit difficult to add a monster the size of Galangiga.
 He is actually as big as Seto, three meters long, but now that he's seen the size of Galangiga, he's probably judged it OK by the fall.

"Really? OK, then, please. Set!"
"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

 Ray's words delighted Seto, who descends toward the earth.  
 Dropping the Argos bear to the ground in the middle of its descent makes a dull sound.
 Those who take a break from the demolition of Galangiga and watch Set come down, gasping at what they call the Argos Bear bombing -- that the ground was actually slightly dented -- but Seto approaches Ray and rubs his face.
 Ray also caresses Seto on the head and praises him for defeating the Argos Bear.

"You beat him well. Yes, yes. He's still strong."

 Ray's compliments make Seto proud of himself.
 From the side, it's an extremely violent monster called the Gryphon, which is over 3m in length, but when you see how he's attached to Ray like this, you can see how lovely he is.
 The adventurers who were dismantling the galangiga are speechless because of the imbalance.
 Should I be afraid of Seto's presence, or should I smile at the loveliness that Ray has in store for me?
 lead to conflicting feelings
 It was Guild officials who had been talking to Ray earlier that broke through such a delicate situation.

"Yes, it's an additional job. We've also decided to dismantle the Argos Bear there. I don't think there's anyone who's free... but please move on to dismantling it. Ask the guild staff if they don't know how to dismantle it or if they don't know what to do with it. Don't do anything at your discretion."
"Well, I understand that... this Argos Bear? I have some great, fatal wounds on my chest... what's going on with my internal organs?"
"Glu?"

 Perhaps hearing the adventurer's words, Seto, caressed by Ray, squints toward the Argos Bear.
 The adventurer's man, who faced Seto squarely, took a few steps back reflexively, but that's all he ended up doing.
 Set. For an unfamiliar adventurer, you must have the courage.

"What?"

 Still, my voice trembles a little because I understand what it is like to be a glyphon.
 If Seto had been in the Goltz for a little longer, he might have been perceived as a lovely being called Seto, not a monster called Gryphon... unfortunately, it's only been a few days since the Reys came to the Goltz.
 And I spend most of my days outside of the golts... mainly in dungeons.
 Given the circumstances, it will be difficult to get used to Seto like the inhabitants of Gilm.
 Seth knew it, but... but for the friendly Seth, it was a little sad to be frightened by someone who wasn't his enemy.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Maybe Seto pulled out the magic stone. From the Argos Bear, it would be helpful if you could pull it apart without it."

 Saying so, stroking Sett, who seemed a little disappointed.
