"This is convenient..."

　One of the adventurers in charge of escorting the demolition of the Gigant Turtle.
　When Ray first built the mud wall, he was amazed at how and how he could make such an object, but only surprised at the sheer magic of Ray's soil, which was actually a skill in topographical manipulation.
　However, when Cobold actually comes and stops at the wall, you realize how convenient the wall really is.
　The Cobold is a weak monster, and that's what an adventurer who's been asked to guard the dismantlers can do with ease.
　Still, it was clear that it would be troublesome if it were to be attacked by a large number of Kobolts.
　However, just because of the mud wall, each Kobold can't help but move individually.
　It was undoubtedly very easy for adventurers.

"That's right. That's a crimson ray, isn't it? There shouldn't be so much waste in what a notorious adventurer does."
"Ah... well, that's what it was. It was amazing when we fought in the morning."

　The monster that fought in the morning is a Rank B monster called Snow Cyclops.
　Even if you're an adventurer who can beat you easily if you're a Kobolt, it's a different story if you're a Rank B high-ranked monster.
　Ray easily beat such a high-ranking monster... without any difficulty.
　Having been an adventurer in Guillum, I know of course how powerful Ray is... but I've never seen him overwhelming monsters before.

"One of those monsters... No, they're going to knock you down easily, even with Seto. To be honest, they're more incredible."
"That's undeniable, but ... while we were talking like this, there's another Covolt."

　Saying so, some of the men who were talking run into the newly arrived Koboldt with their weapons in their hands.
　Looking at the back of the adventurers of the escort, the dismantlers of the gigant turtleneck talk without rest.

"It's amazing, really... is this giant turtle, the Gigant Turtle? Wasn't it also a guy who knocked it down? Thanks to Suu Kyi, we've been lucky since the beginning of this year."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　Two acquaintances of Suu Kyi say so, peeling the skin off the leg of the gigant turtleneck, and the people from the slums around him.
　In fact, even though it would be a great help to get the body of a cobold, you could get paid for this demolition, you could get the meat of a gigant turtleneck, and then you could get the guild to hire you after the spring.
　It was impossible for the slum dwellers to know it and tell them not to work hard.

"And yet... I wanted to take it apart."

　Suddenly one of the slum dwellers muttered to me as he saw the Snow Cyclops dismantled.
　It's not that I don't like to disassemble the gigant turtleneck, but if I were to continue to disassemble such a huge monster, I think I might want to disassemble another one.
　Snow Cyclops, however, is five meters tall and however huge, is incomparably smaller than Gigant Turtle.
　Then it's only natural that more people will be sent to dismantle the Gigant Turtle.
　Moreover, Snow Cyclops, unlike Gigant Turtle, knew where and what materials were available, so it was only natural that he should be left to someone accustomed to dismantling as an adventurer.

"Don't be unreasonable. I've just heard that monster seems to be a pretty strong monster, much more than the cobolt that we were dismantling."
"That's true, because you saw him eating Kobolt to death in the morning?"

　It's a sign that everyone has become accustomed to dismantling, even though they talk like that... yet they can't stop at all.

"What!"

　All the people there looked at the sudden voice.
　The one with the voice is an incredible beauty who has been coming to this demolition site for the last few days.
　The beautiful woman was now saying something to the guild staff, apparently angry.
　I can't hear anything but the first cry because it's not so loud, but it's clear that the woman is still angry.

"I wonder if something has happened,"
"...what?"

　One of the women muttered that she was talking to the guild staff... the man who had been fascinated by Vihela's beauty was fascinated by her beauty, and could not immediately recognize her voice.

"Yes,"

　a woman who breathes loudly at the sight of such a man
　Men are like this... and they say the same thing again, thinking so.

"I was wondering if something had happened,"
"Ah... well, yes. I'm sure someone asked him how he would fight against a strong opponent, so considering that, isn't it about Snow Cyclops? ...It's a waste of money."

　For a man, he probably didn't understand why such a beautiful woman as Vihela was so engrossed in the fight.
　That's because I thought I could live as easily as I wanted to.

"Brother, sister. Move your hands, not just your mouth!"

　The man and woman in the conversation rush back to their work after being told so by a child peeling the feet of a nearby severed gigant turtleneck.
　while Vihela, who had been rumored to be...

"Absolutely. All I envy is Ray. ... And is it possible that this monster, Snow Cyclops, will come early tomorrow morning.
"Well, yes. If there was only one snow cyclops, there would be a lot of questions about the number of covolts, so of course, there were not many covolts last night... by chance."

　I was talking to the guild staff.
　As Ray had expected, Vichela, who arrived here around 10 a.m., was deeply frustrated to see the headless body of Snow Cyclops.
　Early in the morning, Ray had heard that monsters were gathering at the site of the demolition of the Gigant Turtle for the smell of blood and bits of meat.
　Nevertheless, I didn't care at all because I was only in Cobold, but... I think it was worth getting up early if I could fight against such a strong opponent.
　The only salvation for Vihela is that, as Guild officials say, Snow Cyclops may not only be one of the others who was knocked down by Ray.

"You've got to get up early tomorrow,"

　Vichela's eyes may already be thinking about tomorrow's battle.
　Look at the guild staff with fierce fighting eyes.
　The guild staff, who were given such glances, took a few steps back unconsciously.
　If I had worked in the guild, I would have seen many bloody adventurers."Vihela seems to resemble such people, something distinctly different.
　It's probably because I've half understood it.

(Please come back soon...)

　I'll take a look at the mud wall.
　Guild officials could only pray for Ray to return as soon as possible after he left.





"Huh?"

　Suddenly, Ray looks around him, feeling like someone has called him.
　However, what exists around us is materials used in extensions after spring, and no one seems to be calling themselves.

"Glu?"

　Seth asks with a tilt of her head, "What's the matter with Ray?"
　Ray caresses such a set and opens his mouth.

"No, I felt like someone called me. I guess it was just my imagination."

　Seth, who whispered at Ray's words, looked around him again.
　Ray followed suit with a look at the surroundings.
　Given that Seto has five senses sharper than Ray, if anyone really called him, he might notice it before Ray.
　However, as long as Sett doesn't seem to have noticed such a thing, he thinks the incident was his own fault, and looks around again.
　What is spread out there is goods for extension work.That's the same as yesterday, but the only big difference from yesterday... is that the adventurer is out of sight there.
　No, it's not like there's no one at all.
　I've seen some adventurers from afar.
　The obvious reason for the decrease in the number of adventurers compared to yesterday is probably Ray's mud wall.
　The mud wall prevented Cobold from entering the guillem.
　...but it wasn't perfect, and Ray didn't know how he got in, though there were signs of battle in a few places.
　Even the guild recognized that there was little chance of Cobold coming in after examining the mud wall, and as a result, the number of people receiving requests to subdue Cobold had decreased dramatically since today.
　However, as there are still some battles going on today, it is not as if all the Kobolt invasions had disappeared, so we desperately needed some adventurers.

(Oh, but I wonder what's going on with the reward for the Cobold punishment? Until now, it seems that we've made dismantling cheaper and more balanced...)

　While thinking this way, Ray and Sett make their way to the wall... without encountering Cobold.
　But Ray sees a mud wall in the distance and wonders if there are some adventurers in front of it.
　However, since I came here to see if there were any abnormalities in the mud wall, I couldn't keep looking at it from afar, so I just went on.
　Then the adventurers in front of the mud wall may have noticed Ray's approaching presence.

(Huh?)

　Ten men and women are thought to be adventurers in front of the mud wall.
　Ray wonders about the hostility in some of the eyes, if not all, if not all, of murderous intentions.
　Ray has done a lot of things so far, so I understand that he doesn't mean to think he's being hated by anyone, and that it's OK to have a hundred or a thousand people who want to kill him.
　That's why even if you look at them with such hostility, they approach the walls of the earth... and the adventurers who gather together.
　Not knowing a face he knew, Ray passed by the adventurers without seeming to care about them.

"Wait a minute!"

　Suddenly, a man in front of the mud wall calls on Ray to do so.
　The owner of the voice was one of those who looked hostile to Ray.
　Still, he didn't pretend to hold a weapon, so instead of holding it, Ray looks at it and opens his mouth.

"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter with you! You made this clay wall?"
"Well, let me do that because I don't want Cobold to come into Gillum. What is that?"

　To be exact, the main reason was that he wanted more people to dismantle the gigant turtleneck, but he decided that he wouldn't have to talk to someone hostile to him.

"It's nothing. I've been making money here before. But this has stopped him coming in. What are you going to do?"
"In other words, if you want to earn money, you can get a cobolt in your guillem and cause damage in the city?"
"You didn't say anything. In fact, I used to knock down all the Kobolt before I went downtown. Then there shouldn't have been any problem."

　I'm confident in what the man says.
　I have a strong confidence that I won't lose as much as Cobolt.
　It may be natural, however, that many of Gilm's adventurers have the ability to knock down as easily as Cobold.

"Don't think it's going to be the same forever. When rare or superior species come out... and what if such monsters go to town? If you just want to fight against the Cobold, you can fight against the Cobold if you go to guard the demolition of the Giant Turtle. Why aren't you asked to do so?"

　Ray's words made him silent.
