"Oh... is that so?"

　As he spoke, Vihela's eyes were directed at Ray as if to say something.
　However, Ray doesn't seem particularly concerned because he understands that Vichela looks at him like that.
　As for the Snow Cyclops incident, Vihela was sure she wanted to fight.

"Oh, I think we'll probably solve the Cobold case before long. I've left Grande with Egg, so don't worry anymore need to worry about it."

　a base for communicating with people behind red cloth
　The guards, who found a spot to watch there, immediately began to watch there.
　When Ray confirmed that, he had taken Grange as he had promised... he had no eggs, so he told his men what was going on and left them at the destruction site of the Giant Turtle.
　Waiting for such a Ray was Vichela, who looked displeased.

"It's a case of Covolt, I wonder why it's Covolt."
"I was wondering about that, and the guards were wondering about it the same way. I didn't know why, after all, but there was an opinion among the guards that they just wanted to increase the number, not a few powerful monsters."

　Rey's words displease Vihela again.
　For Vihela, if you're going to manipulate it, you'll want to manipulate a monster like Snow Cyclops, where Ray fought.
　However, if Snow Cyclops were to attack in groups, would Ray's clay walls be easily destroyed...and in some cases, it is highly likely that he would be able to overcome them without being destroyed.
　If that happens, there is a good chance that the Snow Cyclops will break through and rampage through the city, unlike Cobold, who manages to stop the invasion at the site of the extension.
　Gilm has many talented adventurers, but that doesn't mean he can easily defeat monsters like Snow Cyclops who are rampant in the streets.
　Most importantly, quite a few people stay in bars all day because it's winter.
　If such people fight Snow Cyclops, it will only cause more damage to their surroundings.

"For now, it's tomorrow morning. Vichela can come with us tomorrow morning, so that there may be a strong monster among the monsters drawn to the smell of Gigant Turtle's blood and bits of meat."

　Originally, Ray was thinking of using topographical manipulation to bury the soil that is currently on the outside and bring in another soil from underneath the ground.
　However, considering the state of Vihela, it was impossible to do so.
　... even though Ray and Sett may have access to an unknown magical stone, they are not reluctant to do so.

"Oh, yes,"

　Cashily, Viehra's words easily refresh her mood.

(However, there were no strong monsters yesterday, and that doesn't necessarily mean there are strong monsters.)

　After all, what monsters are coming out is luck.
　If Vichela comes here tomorrow morning with Ray, she could only be in monsters like Kobolt and Goblin if she's unlucky.
　Still, there was no option for Vihela not to try here, as long as she could not get it without trying.

"... Guru?"

　Seto shrieks at Ray's direction.
　It's as if he's saying, "Can I come and play?" ... that's the maze Ray made of mud.
　There, even now, the adventurers of the bodyguard defeat the man who has gone through the maze.
　It's not a very complicated maze, but it was probably enough for Cobold.

"Oh, yes. Don't disturb the people who are defeating Cobold."
"Gruly!"

　Wailing joyfully at Ray's words, Seto kicks in the ground and heads towards the maze.
　Watching it, Ray wonders if Sett wants to defeat Coboldt or challenge the maze... or if his goal is to experience both together.
　However, now that he has given his permission, Sett will not listen to anything he says.
　...no, if Ray really told me to stop it, I would stop it, but there was no doubt that he would be disappointed because he was happy once.
　In that case, as long as it doesn't interfere with the people who are defeating the Cobolts, it's OK to let them have their own way.

"Well... I was looking at Set, and I felt a little faint."

　Vihela, watching Ray and Sett communicate, mutters with a smile as she disappears from her still somewhat sullen appearance.

(Is this what Seto was aiming for?)

　Ray thought so when he saw Vihela's condition, but when he saw her walking around the maze right away, it was not at all that he thought about it, but he didn't seem to have acted the way he did before.
　To that extent, Seto was innocently enjoying the maze.

"First of all, when you knock me into the people who are involved in the Cobold affair,"
"Well, I hope it will help you... what are you going to do?"
"You know what? Ask me what I've done to attract covolts and stuff. If possible, I hope I can find out how to do that. Then maybe I can attract more powerful monsters."

　Vihela muttering with a big smile and anticipation.
　Ray smiles a little at such a Vihela appearance.
　That's why it's Vihela.
　...most of all, fighting against powerful unknown monsters means that unknown magical stones may be available to Ray.
　Thinking this way, Ray sees Bune killing Coboldt out of the maze with a single blow, using white clouds.
　Ray was confident that Bune would not oppose fighting unknown monsters in terms of earning money.

"I agree with Vichela's idea, but what if the magic items that the people who are causing this incident are the ones that only call for Kobolt?"
"Magic item... Come to think of it, Ray's claim was, though I don't know if it's really the cause of this incident."

　Returning words to Ray, Vichela's expression says it's never a magic item as Ray says.
　Rey would say something to Vihela's attitude...

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

　All of a sudden, such a voice echoes around me.
　Ray looked at me in the direction of my voice, and there was something there that seemed to me to be an adventurer rejoicing with a scaly.

"... scale?"

　Why scales? Ray asks questions.
　Gigant Turtle is, as the name suggests, a turtle monster, albeit in many ways.
　Naturally, the skin has no scales.
　Or, exactly, should we describe it as not having the exact scales Ray imagines?
　But what the adventurer, now in front of Ray's gaze, has is undoubtedly the kind of scale that Ray imagines...that snakes and crocodiles have, commonly called scales.
　And the scales are as large as or larger than ordinary shields.

"Scales,"

　To Ray's muttering, Vihela replies briefly.
　However, there is a look of surprise on Vichela'

"The one who was disassembling it meant that it was the scale of a gigant turtleneck, though I never noticed it when I took it out or

　Ray has touched Gigant Turtle's body many times before.
　That's only natural, since it's stored in the mistling in the evening and taken out of the mistling in the morning.
　Nevertheless, Ray had never noticed that Giant Turtle had such scales on his body.

"Well, I've seen a lot of gigant turtles, but I don't think the scales were anywhere. ... Then I wonder where the scales came from."

　If the dissection had progressed to the torso, perhaps... we could have thought that it had come out of the stomach, but so far, the dissection has only progressed on the legs.
　and it was only natural that the scales had come out of his feet."

"Well, where did the scales come from? I have touched the gigant turtleneck many times, but I don't think I had them."

　Ray is a guild official nearby...asks someone else, not the one in charge of the dismantling of this gigant turtleneck.
　The guild official opens his mouth, looking a little surprised whether he expected Ray to speak to him."Oh, yes. Everything I heard was scaly under the skin."
"...under the skin? No, I don't think I can tell at a glance... really?"
"I'm sure the person who took it out said that."

　Hearing that it is a scale beneath her skin, Ray has a profoundly mysterious question.
　It's only natural that, if you believe what he said, Gigant Turtle had scales over the meat and covered it with skin...
　It was completely incomprehensible to Ray that there were scales underneath the skin, if any.

"Wait a minute. Is there only one scale found? Looking at that, I don't think anyone else has one."
"Well, for now, I wonder if it's just that one... ...that we may find scales in the future."
"...yes. What do you think, Ray?"

　Vichela asks Ray, who is confused by what he says is unclear.
　The Giant Turtle itself is, however, a semi-unknown existence.
　Considering that, it's not surprising that there are some scales beneath the skin.

(Beneath the skin, was it used like a hidden shield? No, the scale was too small for the size of the gigant turtleneck.)

　It's just right for a man to have... no, it looks like a slightly larger shield for some people, and it seems too unsuitable for a gigant turtleneck to use in such a way.
　Then when asked what the scales were under the skin, Ray couldn't answer.

"For the time being, I'm sure you'll be convinced that it's what it is if the scales come out from somewhere else. I hope it's not just that one. ... What do you think?"
"Even so, I don't know what a gigant turtleneck is like. To be honest, I don't think there's anything we can do about it. Isn't this the only way to continue dismantling it?"

　When I asked Vihela, she replied to it.
　If we don't actually proceed with the dismantling, is the scale really accidental, or is there a similar scale on the other legs for some reason... that's not clear.
　Still, what we could see was that the scales were likely to be used as some kind of material.
　It's shaped enough to serve as a shield with just a little processing, and scales are not uncommon for potions and other medicines.
　We can't tell exactly what kind of material it would be used for, but it seemed to Ray that the scarcity of gigant turtles would certainly make it some kind of material.

"For the time being, let's hope that the scales will be a good material."

　end up with that conclusion
　In the first place, we still don't know how much unknown material will come out of the dismantling of the Gigant Turtle.
　That being the case, I don't know how much fuss there will be in the future when there's one unknown material coming out there.
　The scales are more surprising than expected, but the skin of the gigant turtleneck remains unknown.
