After a midday break, the afternoon work begins.
　Regardless of the people who took charge of dismantling the gigant turtles, the guards to fight the blood-smelling monsters couldn't all take a break, so they had to eat in turn.
　Ray and Seto, Vichela and Bune ate the food in the mistirings...and each of them was to serve a glass of hot vegetable soup.
　It wasn't snowing, but those who got soup naturally rejoiced because the temperature was near freezing.
　Given that the dismantling of the gigant turtleneck is progressing more smoothly than it was in the morning, that's probably the case.

"So? What are you going to do, Ray? Do you want to wait and see a little bit more? Or go back to Gilm? I'm going to look for it in the case of Cobold."
"Well, I'll be back soon. I'll go to the extension site where the Cobold attacks, and look for any clues."
"Well... but you can't always find a clue, can you? In the first place, many people have tried to find a reason for Cobold's attack, and they've gone around in various ways, but they haven't found it."

　Ray understood Vihela's point, but this time there was a trick called Seto.
　There was a good chance that Seto might be able to find something that even a beast or elf could not find, including Ray.
　Following Ray's gaze, perhaps because there are no fighting monsters there, Vichela understands that he is relying on him to investigate the case of Cobold.

"Well, set,"
"... I understand very well.
"If you follow Ray's eyes, anyone will know."

　When you say so, I remember my actions, feel a little embarrassed, and speak to them as if I were misrepresenting them.

"Anyway, I'm going with Sett to the place where he's doing the extension work... What about Vihela? Do you want to come with me.

　When asked, Vihela shakes her head after a moment of thought.

"I'll stop it. After all, the only monster to fight against is Kobolt."

　For Vihela, if it's a strong monster, she wants to fight, but if it's a cobalt monster, she doesn't have to fight.
　If this is certain that there are some top or rare species, there may be some interest in it... Viehra has never been interested in it since the start of the Cobold attack, unless such monsters have been found.

"And it seems that Bune is quite looking forward to knocking down Cobold here."
"Oh, I see,"

　Perhaps that's the stronger reason.
　Ray doesn't want to force Vihela to take him, either, because this incident is just part of his hobby or because he feels like he's almost ruined.
　Now, if there was any conclusive evidence or corroboration, it would have been a different story.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

　After talking to Vichela, Ray calls out to the Guild staff at a distance... ...who is in charge of the dismantling of the Giant Turtle.
　Having talked to Ray so many times, he didn't seem particularly nervous about his calls and approaches.

"What's wrong with you? What happened.
"Oh, I'm leaving here soon, but should I come back here in the evening?"

　As the dismantling of the gigant turtleneck was not only done today, it was necessary to store it in a mistling at night.
　If it were a smaller monster, it wouldn't be a problem to put it in a warehouse all over the city because it's winter right now... but with a monster this big, it wouldn't be possible to tear it down all over the city.

"Well, by all means. But if possible, I'd appreciate it if you could come a little earlier. It's the first day and a lot of people aren't used to it, so I want you to finish it a little earlier."
"All right. Then I'll be back a little earlier."
"Thank you. So... by the way, where's Mr. Ray going now.
"A little bit at the place where the extension is being done,"

　The words would have given the guild staff a sense of what Ray was trying to do.
　open one's mouth with a smile

"I hope you find the magic item".

　That's definitely what the guild staff really think.
　Although it has not been established that one of the covolts was due to magic items and I had expected it to be different for the guild staff.
　Still, maybe... really, maybe it's because of some kind of magic item.
　Moreover, Ray had a good chance of finding some clues, as he used Sett's power to investigate the case.
　If this was a normal, well-known adventurer, the guild staff wouldn't have had much to expect.
　But Ray is in front of the guild staff.
　That's what I've done so many unbelievable things.
　One of the things Ray has done is the gigant turtleneck, which is now being dismantled in large numbers.
　There aren't many who can defeat such a huge monster in Gillum... no, in the kingdom of Mileana and its surrounding countries, and in the whole world of Elgin.
　Because Ray has done it, maybe... really, maybe he can find some clues about the Cobold.
　Even if guild officials thought so, it was in a way natural.
　Ray, who doesn't think he's expected that much, nods back to the guild staff before calling Seto.

"Set! Let's go back to Gilmoo!"
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's call, I screamed "OK!" and he approached him.
　Some of the people involved in the dismantling of the gigant turtles were fascinated by the way Set looked.
　It's as if you want to love Seto.
　If this was somewhere other than Gilm, many people would be terrified by the existence of Seto... this is Gilm.
　Some of the demolition operations seemed to have come for the purpose of building extensions rather than the inhabitants of Gilm, so it was unlikely that all of them would be affectionate to Seto.
　With all these different glances, Ray and Sett left the scene for Gillum.





"Hey, that's it! That's it!"
"Oh, I know. You know, for you're acting almost by instinct, but sometimes you make strangely clever movements!"

　The spear pointed out sharply with the words runs through the neck of the cobold.
　The adventurer looked bitter for a moment because he actually hit his neck, though he had originally aimed at his torso.
　I could have passed through my torso without a doubt until autumn.
　The reason why it missed its aim was that the covolts that fell to the ground were somewhat stronger and quicker than the others, but... they were dulled by winter life.
　He looked bitter because he knew it.
　But I can't afford to think about it now.
　Quite a few other covolts have invaded here.
　We could have fought a little more easily, but today we had fewer covolts, and quite a few had given up the idea of conquering the covolts and went to dismantling the gigant turtles.
　This gave us a balance between Kobolt and the adventurer, which also meant that the battle here was as usual.

"Oh... should I have gone to the dismantling of the Giant Turtle?"

　Another adventurer nearby says so, looking at other adventurers fighting against Cobold.
　In fact, given their current situation, they find it troublesome to deal with Cobold endlessly.
　However, since I came here judging that the funds for the winter months have decreased considerably at this point and that the best way to earn money is to subdue the Cobold, there is no point in complaining.
　But... if Ray arrived on the spot at exactly the right time, the story would be different.

"Really? It would be very helpful for me if you could come to the demolition. The more people there are, the better. But given the size of the gigant turtleneck, I don't think the demolition will end this winter."
"What?"

　All of a sudden, the voices of those who are not fighting against the Cobold and within their reach raise their voices.Why is this person in such a place?
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Ray in crimson!? Why are there so many celebrities here? It's about the size of a cobolt... or, you know, it's only a cobolt here!"

　The adventurer, who just said he was going to disassemble the Gigant Turtle, exclaims in a flurry.
　The adventurer's question may have been the same for other adventurers, and many nodded repeatedly to agree with him.
　Watching these adventurers, Ray explains why he came here, telling them not to worry.

"It's obviously strange that there are endless attacks on Cobold mornings, days and evenings. I mean, I think there's a reason for that. And I just wanted to find out why."

　In fact, I came here expecting that there might be magic items for that purpose, but I won't say that much.
　Speaking of which, there was a prediction that everyone here would be interested in looking for the magic item.
　Ray doesn't necessarily think there's a magic item here, but it's also true that he's half-time-wasting.
　If that's the case, you inadvertently say that you have magic items and concentrate your attention on them… As a result, if you get hurt or die, the aftertaste will be bad.

"So I and Seto look for a reason why Cobold is gathering here, but don't worry about it. I won't bother you."

　While stroking Seto, he watches adventurers fight against Cobold to see if they are aware of or not.
　Cetto... here is Gryphon, but there is no sign of escaping, and he is fighting against the adventurer.

(Is it the same as Cobold who came to Giant Turtle? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　In fact, besides Cobort, several other monsters, including Oak, came to Japan attracted by the smell of Gigant Turtle's blood, but there were many monsters who didn't notice Sett's presence.
　...to be exact, perhaps among the monsters who came attracted by the smell of blood, the one who noticed Seto's presence did not immediately escape and reach the destruction site.
　But there's nothing particularly attractive about here.
　If I had to mention it, there was a possibility that the smell of blood had shifted to Ray and Sett, who were watching the dismantling of the Giant Turtle, but Cobold, who was looking at it, was not particularly attracted to the smell of blood.
　With that in mind, does Cobold not notice or even notice the existence of Seto?

(In the case of higher or rare species, I don't think you don't have to be unaware of the existence of the set. Then, what you can think of is... the possibility of a magic item has increased.)

　Is it possible.
　That's how Ray thinks, but Seto rushes and rubs his face against Ray.
　While patting Seto on the head, Ray thought about how to find a magic item that might be in the area.
