1750 the seventeenth and fiftieth episodes



"Well, then, when we arrive at Gilm, we have nowhere to live!"

 As she walks past Subursta and towards Abuero... Sula yells half-out at Ray in a carriage with her.
 Others would normally blame it.
 But I heard from Ray about the current situation in Gillum... that's why I wanted to scream when I found out that there were very few inns.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dusker has known from the beginning that this group is coming. It's not like a mansion... but houses that are more than a winter old are well built."

 This group, led by Sula, is a great gospel to Gilm.
 Of course there will be a lot of problems with the sudden increase in the number of problems.
 However, since he was the one who gave Gilm more profit than that, Dusker had no intention of treating the Soulas with impudence.

"...Really? Well, then... but then... I don't think we could have increased the number of buildings for temporary stays."
"Well, let me tell you, I knew you were coming beforehand, so I was able to make a good plan and build a house, and it's a little hard to build a house for the people who suddenly came to the building of Gilm."

 Sula can only agree with Ray's words.
 If you like a shack, you can build it right away.
 But in such a place, it may be better than outside in the snow, but that's the difference after all.
 There is no denying the possibility of freezing to death if there is no heating equipment and you can't prevent the wind coming through the gaps in the building.

"But I'm still more likely to survive than freeze to death outside in winter, so I'm more likely to take such measures in case of real emergency... at least it won't be as comfortable as the houses of the Soulas I originally planned to live in."

 It goes without saying that Dusker, the lord of Gillum, values those who only stay in Gillum while they are building extensions, or those who really decide to move to Gillum.
 What's more, Ray is fully cooperating with the Souras in their emigration, and it's clear to Dasker, who has strong confidence in Ray, which is more important.

"For the time being, as long as we have a good place to live,"

 Surah, who tells her in a relieved manner, silences the others for any particular objections.
 However, Gimekara originally came here to relocate his base to Gillum as a Zorgay merchant, and Rocks guards the Surahs, but he is originally from Gillum and has a place to live.
 Resistance... and Sula, the leader of this group, and Sharia, who joined the Resistance at Mejogo, cared about the house built for them.

"Oh, and... I think it's a good idea, but if you really don't have enough money when you get to Gillum, you can still join the Gamercallion hunt. Gimecara... No, the assistance from the Sorge trade until you get to Gillum? Then you'd better do something about it while you can save it."
"...Gamerion? Are you still there?"

 The first person to answer Ray's words is Rocks, who is based in Guillum and who knows a lot about Gamerion.
 It was only natural for Rocks to say that in the usual year, when Gamerion was about to disappear.

"I've been growing quite a bit this year. I haven't been able to participate in the gamerion hunt because I've been busy with a lot of things, but I've heard from an acquaintance that it's like that. I'm thinking of going gamerion hunting when I finish my urgent job."
"Well, then I'll try to touch it, too.

 An annual gamerion hunt that tastes like a kind of festive flurry for Gilm.
 For Gillum's adventurer, Rocks had no choice but to stay away from it.
 The information from Ray was very helpful to Rocks, as he was somehow busy this year and had problems with the country of Lavrellina, so he didn't expect to be able to participate in the Gamerion hunt.

"Well, what's that... Gamelion?"

 Asking bewilderedly is Sharia.
 As a wolf beast, it is only natural that we should be interested in hunting.
 Moreover, this party is as good as a wolf at fighting in groups.
 That's why it's exciting for Sharia to hunt gamerions in this group... ...even though in a physical sense its rich chest is shaking.

"To put it simply, it's a huge rabbit monster, but it's a limited-time monster that only appears in this season of autumn and winter."
"... a rabbit?"

 The word rabbit mutters Sharia as if she had lost a little interest.
 Ray and Rocks, however, did not seem particularly concerned, as they expected such a reaction.
 Gamerion is definitely a rabbit monster, but in reality it's just an ex-rabbit, and there's no trace of a herbivore, if not very much.
 But I don't think Sharia will listen properly by explaining it here.
 You'll only be able to see with your own eyes what Gamerion is like.

(Well, after all, I think you'll have to see it with your own eyes, but even though the Gamerion hunt is almost over and there are few, even if the Soulas come... they'll definitely run short of prey.)

 The Soulas have more than a hundred horse-drawn carts and are a group of nearly a thousand people.
 Then, of course, if you defeat Gamerion, you'll get only a small reward or amount of meat.
 If we had arrived at Gilm a little earlier, we could have come to the height of the Gamerion hunt... there's nothing we can do about it now.
 Even the Soulas didn't make it to the peak of this gamerion hunt because they were particularly fond of it.
 In the first place, it's a thousand people, even though everyone is travelling in a carriage.
 Regardless of the speed of movement, it takes time to get ready for departure.
 If this were adventurous women, they would be accustomed to getting dressed quickly, but... this party understands how to fight in groups with bows, but is not basically a warrior, and their humanity is similar to that of ordinary people.

(It's too late now, but it's not impossible to get back to normal... but it's going to be difficult in its own way. If you look at things like that, you can only see pretty women.)

 However, Ray is not too worried about the fate of the party, given the option of being hired by Dusker when it comes to the crunch.
 Of course, we can't all be employed by Dusker.
 Surahs had overwhelming strength only if there were more than a thousand people and what could be called a barrage with arrows collected from them.
 But that's only because Gimekara... ...is prepared by the Sorge Chamber of Commerce with all its money.
 If it were to be under Dusker's command, it would have been almost impossible to fight the way it is now.

"Well, if you're interested in Gamerion, after you arrive at Gilm... No, is the expression hunting more accurate in this case? That's the way it is. But the horse-drawn charge used by the Soulas...maybe ineffective."

 Sula looks a little dissatisfied with Ray's words.
 After much thought, we decided that this was the best choice for us at present, and that was what we could call a horse‐shooting rather than horse‐shooting.
 In that confident way of fighting, he has actually managed several bandits.
 But it's only natural for Sula to be dissatisfied.
 But Ray looks at Rocks, not Sula.
 The person who was looking at me would only look away, perhaps because he/she understands why he/she is looking at me like that.
 When Ray sees such a Rocks, he breathes out a small sigh and then opens his mouth.

"You've been fighting basically robbers, haven't you? Monsters... Is that a goblin or something?"
"Well, there aren't so many monsters outside of the frontier, and we've moved down the road."
"I suppose that's why Rocks didn't point that out, either. ... You know? Your way of fighting is strong against the bandits... or slow-footed men. I assure you. ... but ... in a carriage, if most only have bows, you're much faster than a carriage, let alone a furman who strikes a blow of arms."

 Cars travel faster than ordinary people do, and are not usually caught up with.
 That's why it's possible to attack from a distance... ...turn into a weakness when dealing with someone like Gamerion.
 Gamerion's speed cannot be compared to that of a person.
 The hair covering the body cannot be scratched with a half‐weapon.
 Its giant body is a mass of muscle, and even if there are ten ordinary people in it, it will be flown off if it hits a fast-moving gamerion.
 Its tail is very flexible and whiplike.
 Its ears are blades, equal to knives... no, if you're not good at it, it's sharper than it's sharper than a knife.
 The tusks are resilient and can be easily chewed down to the size of a carriage.
 ...and it seemed to Ray that Gamerion and the Soulas could fight and defeat him.

"Well, for the time being... if you're going to hunt gamerions, you'd better think you can't fight the way you've fought before, and you'd lose your support from the Sorge Chamber.""That's..."

 She must have been hit in the nick of time. Sula is at a loss for words.
 In fact, one arrow is not that high, but that doesn't mean it can be used any number of times.
 That being the case, we had to manage the money to buy the arrows ourselves once we had lost the support of the Sorge Trading Company.

"Think about it, and if we think we can do something about it, why don't we try?"

 That's what Ray said, but I think it's probably going to be tough.
 No, if you're just going to defeat Gamelion, you're a wolf beast and you've got a lot of fighting power... that's what Gillum's adventurer has to do with it, and that's what former adventurers have to do with it.
 But... still, I didn't think I could defeat Gamelion unharmed.
 Ray's prediction is that someone who is not that good could end up getting injured... or dying.
 Sula also shuts down discontentedly, wondering if she understands Ray's point.
 I'd like to say something back, but I guess they understand that it's only an excuse or a sourcing.

"Oh... look. If you want, I'll help you, so cheer up."

 Rocks encourages Sula to look too depressed.
 Gimekara looked at such Rocks somewhat dumbfounded, and Sharia was interested in hearing about Gamelion from Ray.

"Rocks will guard these guys until Gillum. I don't think we need to look after the rest."
"... no, you know...?"

 Rocks tells Ray something wrong.
 As Ray looks suspicious, he turns his head into a smile... that turns into something of a disgusting smile.
 Did Rox notice that Gimekara's smile? He tried to say something, but it was too late to stop Gimekara's mouth.

"My girlfriend may be in danger, so I can't leave her alone."

 At Gimekara's words, Ray pauses with a moment's surprise... and eventually compares them with Rocks and Sula.

"... sweetheart?"

 I thought it might have been a mistake to hear it, so I asked her, but she replied, turning her face red and looking away from embarrassment.
 And Rocks was at a loss what to say.
