"Well, that's all right, sir. ... If it turns into ashes, it won't be ravaged."

　Elena muttered at the stone in front of her.
　Under the stone the body of a black wolf is buried in ashes.
　There is no snow around, just wet.
　It's not hard to say why this happened, simply because of the heat of Ray's magic burning the body of a black wolf.

"Well, if you're deep in the mountains like this, no one will come, so the black wolf will sleep well."

　Nevertheless, if you are an adventurer or a hunter, you may not find anyone who can come this far for the purpose of hunting for prey or gathering material.
　Still, you wouldn't bother digging the ground by moving a stone... in some cases the size of a rock.
　Ray and Elena are looking at such a rock that they hesitate to call a gravestone.
　Arra watched them from a distance, enduring the cold.
　In the middle of winter... that's also in the mountains. Wearing cold protection doesn't necessarily prevent the cold completely, and little by little, the cold eats away at the same time, too.
　Still, the sun was out and I could feel the warmth of the sun, so I was still able to endure it.

"Gururururling!

　Seto, who was supposed to have been playing in a distant place, came down with his wings flapping his wings.
　A deer hangs from its front legs.
　What can Seto do to catch a deer when he was playing with him?
　Ray had some doubts about it, but if he thought of it as Seto, he would be convinced.

"Gruly!"
"Squeak!"

　Seto and the yellow on his back sing proudly, "Isn't it amazing?"

"Well done, just... it's not good to have a deer slaughtered here, so I'll put it in the mistling for now, is it OK?"
"Glu?"

　Seth says nothing more, "Why isn't Ray trying to disassemble the deer here?" But when he looks at her, he doesn't want to understand why he doesn't intend to disassemble the deer here.
　But Yero, who was riding on Seto's back, sounded a little dissatisfied.
　...and that Yero would not complain any more when Arla approached him and picked him up.
　Ray touches a deer corpse on the ground and stores it in a mistling.m. ring.

(Come to think of it, now... it's really late, but I can use it normally after the Mistilling was released.)

　I was surprised when the sealed meat cocoon sealed the mistling, but after the meat cocoon was knocked down, the mistling is normally used.
　I've already been using mystery ring many times since the end of that battle, so I feel like it's too late.

"Ray?"

　Elena wonders at Ray's appearance.
　Ray shakes his head and opens his mouth, saying nothing to Elena.

"I can't stay here forever, and it's time to get down the mountain. It's still a long way to Gilm."
"Well... and yet, there used to be places like this to put down the cages."

　As Elena murmured, for some reason there was no tree in this mountain.
　There's a place that's so clear that you can't see it from the ground, but you can't miss it for a person flying in the sky.
　Ray found it a little suspicious at first, but it was still just the right place, so he went down there... and in the end there was nothing in particular and he could use it normally.
　But it's a little hard to imagine that such a place was created naturally.
　I suspect someone made it deliberately, but is it human, animal, elf, or a few other races...and maybe monsters or animals?
　I didn't know what was going on in that area, but there's no doubt that being able to use it for the time being saved Ray.
　When Ray arrives at the woodless spot, he pulls a set basket out of the mistling.

"Well, to have this casket is, of course, very convenient. If it weren't, how long it would have taken to move between Annesis and Gillum."
"Well, it's winter now, especially when it's snowing and the roads are frozen, and above all, it's exhausting for horses."

　Elena and Arra muttered as they looked at the set basket.
　Flying in the air is a privilege granted only to a very limited number of people, such as the Dragon Knight.
　That's why Ray and Sett can fly in the air, and even use a set basket to transport as many people as possible.
　At their words, Ray caresses Sett.

"That's all I can do because I have Sett. ... Well, Sett?"
"Grull... Grullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

　Seto's voice grates at Ray's words as he is patted.
　A cold wind blows around them as if to cool down the heads of cold wind blows around them.
　...however, Arra is the only one in the party who feels the chill.
　Ray wears dragon robes with the effect of a simple air conditioner, and Elena has inherited the magic stone of the Gent Dragon, so this coldness is nothing.
　Even Seto and Yero can sleep normally outside in the colder weather.
　Noticing Arra shivering slightly from the cold, Elena tells Ray that she is about to leave.

"Ray, let's get going. It's cold in the mountains. I want to get a place to stay today. There's a deer slaughter that Sett has killed, right?"
"Huh? Well, if Elena says so, then so be it. There's no point in staying here forever."

　Ray nods to Elena's words, thinking there would be no point in staying here forever, though he didn't notice her.
　When they are ready, Elena, Arra and Yero go into a casket and Ray rides on Seto's back.

"Well, I'll have some more to-day,"
"Gruly!"

　When patted on the back of her neck, Seto starts running happily.
　In a few steps of running, wings flap and run up into the sky.
　Spinning wide in the air and descending towards the cet basket on the ground... the next moment, Cet grabbed the cet basket and flew back into the air.
　On Seto's back, Ray looks around again.
　Perhaps it was because of the lack of clouds. I felt as if I could see through it.

(Is it because the air is clear in winter? No, unlike in Japan, the air gets dirty... I can't say it doesn't, but it shouldn't be that bad.)

　Ray thinks so, but basically Ray lived in the countryside of Tohoku, and the atmosphere is clear compared to a city like Tokyo.
　That's why I've never realized that the air gets dirty.
　So I couldn't tell if this scene was beautiful because the air was clear or for some other reason... I couldn't judge that area.

(Well, it's no use thinking about it now, I suppose, that's why I think it's because I met a black wolf.)

　I think the incident with the black wolf has made me think strongly about Japan.
　Of course, if you ask me if I'm dissatisfied with my current life in Elgin, I'll say no immediately.
　However, Ray was disappointed that there was no manga or anime in terms of entertainment.
　It's not that there's no book for entertainment at all because there's a book that tells a story.

(Do you want me to spread comics or something like that? ...it's impossible, isn't it?

　reject what one has come up with immediately
　Ray liked to read comics in the first place, but never drew them.
　There were comics that seemed to depict the struggles of becoming a cartoonist, and I've read them.
　But it was so much fun that I didn't know exactly how to draw comics.
　If you draw it that way, you might be able to draw it... unfortunately, Ray has no talent for painting.

(The concept alone is a good painter... but it's hard to turn it into a book because there's no printing machine or anything like that.

　If this is like a novel or some kind of technical book, you don't have to worry too much about writing.However, when it comes to comics, it is necessary to draw pictures, and if you don't have a talent for drawing books, you can't draw them in the same picture even if you have a comic book.
　That's what Ray thought, but... I remember that the monsters dictionary, as well as the herbs, ores and animals dictionaries, were painted solidly.

(Oh? That kind of book... it's well illustrated, right? How on earth do you mass-produce it? ... Well, I don't know.)

　The conclusion about manga was that Ray couldn't spread it by himself for now.
　We may be able to teach concepts, so we conclude that if you have a painter who doesn't sell, you should pay him to write a cartoon and show it to someone who has influence.

(Considering that there are other people who used to come from Japan such as the Zepail family, I think it would have been better to spread comics.)

　While thinking about comics, Seto continues to fly in the sky, flapping his wings.
　Seto didn't want to talk to Ray a little bit, but now that he knew what he was thinking, he flew silently toward Gillum.
　After a while, you'll see the city in front of your eyes.

"Grull?"

　Originally, Seto didn't want to interfere with Ray's thoughts, but when he saw the city, he had to teach it.
　Magic tents make it easy to camp out in winter, but that's the best way to stay in the city.
　Moreover, there is a feeling in the set that you might be able to eat the city's specialties.
　However, some places are afraid of Seto and won't let him into the city.

"What? What's wrong with you? ... It's the city. Would it be better to stay at the inn than camp? Set, would you go down to the ground?"
"Gruly!"

　In Ray's words, Sett descends toward the earth.
　Then drop the casket a short distance from the city... and explain the situation to Elena and Arra who come out of it.

"Well, I don't mind. I think it's easy to spend time in a magic tent, but the city's unique cuisine is also interesting. How about Arla?"
"I don't care. But some city dwellers seem to be thinking bad things, so I think a magic tent is more reliable in terms of security. ... But I don't think they can do anything about Mr. Elena or Mr. Ray."

　Given that there are two different names, it is certain that even if you touch something, it is only suicide.
　I guess it was Arra's words because she knew it.
　Ray, listening to Arra's words, opens his mouth when he sees some soldiers approaching him from the city.

"It seems that there's a pick-up from over there,"

　It was a matter of course.
　Though a little far from the city, something like a casket suddenly appeared in such a place.
　Soldiers who keep the city safe would naturally come to check it out.
　The first to move against the approaching soldiers was Arra.
　They approach the soldiers with their Power Axes on their backs and tell them their background to those who are on alert.
　It is the beauty of Elena and the presence of the Gryphon set that works well in this case.
　A little bit of information will tell you who such a partner is.
　She seemed a little hesitant to let Seth into the city, but Elena would be responsible and eventually Seth would be able to get into the city.
　The deer is eventually disassembled by the cook of the inn where they stayed, and instead of giving up the skin, all the meat is served to the lays as a dish, and they smack their lips together with the seto they caught.
　Then he continued his journey... and in a few days he would arrive at Gilm.
