1914 Episode 1914



Monsters who came looking for remnants of yesterday's demolition, or pieces of meat from the demolition, were swept away in less than minutes.
 The absence of high-ranking monsters among the monsters gathered may have been a blessing for those who were trying to dismantle them...it was a shame for Ray and Sett.
 If a high-ranked monster had appeared, it might have secured an unknown magical stone.
 At any rate, the story is quickly decided by the person who overthrew the monster.
 ...however, since the adventurers here are Gilm's adventurers, I don't really want them without delicious monsters in the literal sense of the oak... and eventually they're going to hand them over to the inhabitants of Suu Kyi's slums.
 This may have been troublesome to dispose of, but I also want them to improve their dismantling skills even a little and proceed as smoothly as possible with the dismantling of the Giant Turtle.
 No one else knows exactly how skilled the slum dwellers are.
 That's why it's an act.
 However, the improvement in slum dwellers' demolition techniques means that the demolition of the gigant turtleneck will be completed so quickly that the amount of meat they will eventually receive will be reduced.

"And what shall I do? I never thought that after a night, the effects of the demolition of the previous day would still be there."

 Guild officials immediately ask Ray, watching how the gigant turtles are being dismantled.
 This guild official, who was in charge of the demolition, ordered the mobilization of those who could not fight in the event of a monster attack.
 His judgment was as good as he could have been entrusted with this task.

"Well, even if you say so, there's nothing we can do about it. No way we're going to dismantle the Giant Turtle in the guillem."

 There was no doubt that it would be best if we could do so, but even if the Giant Turtle were to be dismantled and become smaller, it would never be possible to bring out the Giant Turtle in the city.

"I see. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."
"Well, I don't want to be so careless as to know which part of the gigant turtleneck can be used as a material."

 Ray's honest mind was that if he could have accidentally cut off the leg, body, and tail of the gigant turtleneck, it could be ruined as a material.
 Ray would have nodded to the guild's staff if there were detailed information about the gigant turtles and they knew exactly where and what they would be.
 But given the possibility of destroying the material, I didn't want to take the option if possible.

(In that sense, amputation of the head must be a problem in many ways, though it is true that there were not many ways to defeat such a large body.)

 There is no doubt that if you took the time to knock it down, that would have caused more damage, and as a result, you would have greatly reduced the value of the material.

"Well, it's hard. We didn't have that many powerful monsters today, so we didn't have a problem... but it doesn't always look the same as we do tomorrow."

 a guild official who asks, "What shall I do?"
 We hire adventurers to guard the dismantlers, but it's not impossible to defeat monsters with more than a certain number behind them.
 What's more, as the guild staff said, today was only weak monsters, but from tomorrow there may be no higher-ranked monsters.
 After a moment's reflection on the guild's words, Ray opens his mouth.

"Well, I'll take care of it. Luckily, I don't know how to say... but there are monsters that taste good to me, like oak. If I take on a certain monster, it's like goblin or covolt."

 Perhaps attracted by the smell of Gigant Turtle's blood, Cobold appears.
 Ray muttered, as he watched the adventurers of his bodyguard head for Coboldt, "What do you mean by the rumor?"
 Nevertheless, being an adventurer in Guillum, Ray continues to talk to Guild staff with just a glance at him.

"Anyway, that's how I'm going to take on the higher-ranked monsters ... even if there's no higher-ranked monsters, I can take on some. Is that all right?"

 As he spoke, Ray seemed a little reluctant.
 Basically, Ray is weak in the morning, so it's hard to get up early every day in the middle of a request.
 Still, Ray is the only one who can store the gigant turtles, so it is true that unless Ray comes in early in the morning, the gigant turtles cannot be dismantled.

"Yes, that's what I'd like to do. ... I envy you very much to have an item box, but it's a lot of course.
"Well, it's convenient that only users can use it for crime prevention, but at times like this, it's a problem. I wish the simplified version, which is somewhat wider, had a bigger capacity."
"Don't be unreasonable, sir. If it's a little bigger, I'll do something about it, but if you're going to do something about it, you're going to do something about it, like a gigant turtleneck."

 Guild officials cut their words and shake their heads there.
 Ray also didn't look particularly angry because he was half aware of it.

"I don't know. You can't deny the possibility that you can make an item box at some point, even if you can't do it now. As long as it actually exists, it's going to be similar in the future. In some cases, even more powerful magic items can be created."
"That's... well,"

 Guild officials nodding to Ray's words, but it's clear from the look of it that they don't expect an item box to be made in a few years.
 However, magic items vary greatly depending on the material, as does the alchemist's skill.
 That being the case, if you could get rare monster materials like this gigant turtleneck, there's no denying that you could make an item box.
 Ray knew it was quite unlikely.

"Anyway, that's what I'm going to do,"

 Sleeper in the morning, Ray insists, though semi-forcefully, that's the way to solve his sleep deprivation.
 As a guild official, I have no complaints about Ray's doing so.
 No, on the contrary, I didn't have the option of refusing because they were considerate of the guild.

"Yes, thank you very much. As a guild, I will do my best to meet Ray's expectations. ... But seeing how it looks, it may be unexpectedly early for the demolition to end."

 As they speak, the guild staff's gaze is directed at those who are dismantling.
 There was a wider scene of slum dwellers working hard to dismantle the area, as were those who took part in the demolition yesterday.
 Residents of the slums, who at first seemed to find it difficult to dismantle due to the difference between the Kobolt and the Gigant Turtle, are gradually getting used to it.
 In this case, many of those who came this time were Suu Kyi's trustworthy children.
 Being a child, it is quick to get used to the situation.
 Also, many adults have skills in dismantling, and if not as fast as children, they get used to it quite quickly.
 There are fifty men who can be said to be ready for business.
 It is a natural force to speed up the dismantling of the Gigant Turtle.
 The most promising thing for Ray is that Suu Kyi had said there might be more people from tomorrow, though there were about 50 today.
 Ray had heard that he might have joined the demolition after tomorrow, though many of them had a lot of business to do and were waiting on the wrong side of the road -- just from the feeling of slum dwellers.
 Of course, as long as they say they will be penalized even if they behave strangely, Ray has a feeling that they will bring only those they can trust.

(But... if the slum dwellers make strange profits, they'll naturally ask you where they earned their money. That's what some people might try to steal from them. ... If they belong to a certain organization, they won't do that.)

 To the organizations behind the scenes in Gillum's slums, Ray is equivalent to the god of plague.
 In the past, some organizations have been involved in Ray, resulting in the destruction of... even if they don't go that far, they've been severely damaged.
 And you'll find out who's mimicking the dismantling of the gigant turtleneck if you want to gather even a little bit of information.
 In the first place, Ray isn't specifically seeking to disband himself by hiding his name.
 Attacking Suu Kyi and his associates involved in the dismantling of the Giant Turtle in such circumstances could well be taken as a declaration of antagonism to Ray.
 I don't think I'll be able to fight Ray head-on, and on the contrary, if Ray and Sett act like guerrilla warfare, it'll get even more out of hand.
 Risks and returns are overwhelmingly greater.
 A high-risk, low-return kind of imitation would be something that organizations behind the scenes would absolutely want to avoid.
 No, it might be a no-return, let alone a low return, given the antagonism against Ray.
 In any case, if you belong to a back organization for that reason, you would hardly act hostile to Ray.
 ...even if you belong to an organization, there is a possibility that you may act carelessly without considering the circumstances.

(Thinking about it, it's those who don't belong to that organization and don't gather information very well. ... I think we should tell them to be careful about that, although some of them seem to have some strength.)

 Some of those Suu Kyi brought in may have had a background as a former adventurer.The movement of the body gave Ray a rough idea of the area.
 But the number is not so large that we can't act to protect all of Suu Kyi's associates.

(If possible, I would like them to stay in one place to protect everyone, but I would like them to stay in nearly 50 people... no, there is no place to stay that many more people.)

 Alternatively, there is a possibility that anything could have been done before the extension.
 However, there are many places where people have come to stay for extension work, so there is no room for that.
 Some people left the guillem because it was winter, so a small group of people could do something about it.

"What will happen?"
"What? What's the matter?"

 Guild officials ask Ray if they hear him muttering.
 To such guild officials, Ray explains the anxiety he feels.

"Oh... I see. Now that you mention it, it sounds a little hard. Um... shall we move a little bit? With this number of people... No, I know a place where more people can stay. But I can't use it without the guildmaster's permission."

 Ray immediately understands what the guild says.
 It's probably the guild's huge warehouse.
