'Huh? ... Oh, Ray. It's been a long time no see.'

　The face on the pair of obes was familiar to Ray.
　Well, Rich... No, it's a good grimm to call Rich Road.
　Next to Ray, the three of them saw the Grimm on the pair of ovens... Elena, Marina, and Vihela hold their breath at the sight.
　Even if you know Grimm, you'll still be surprised to see him again.

"It's okay to say it's been a long time, but what does it mean that there are other people besides Ray?"

　Grimm seemed to blame Ray in words, but the sound of his voice was rather interesting.
　Surprisingly, the three of them can relax a little.
　Perhaps Grimm will grant their request.
　Of course, I didn't really believe in Grimm from the bottom of my heart just by communicating with him.
　I thought, "Well, maybe... maybe it's really going to be like that's what I thought.
　They had decided to leave the matter to Ray in silence.
　Ray was the only one who had anything to do with Grimm, so the choice was natural.
　Looking at the three, Ray opens his mouth, hesitating about how to respond to Grimm's appearance.

"Oh... I know. I contacted you because I wanted you to help me a little. Do you remember the Emotion?"
'Emotion? Well...'

　Grimm seems to think a little bit about the word emoticon coming out of Ray's mouth.
　However, there is no flesh or skin, only bones... skulls, so it looks like they are probably.

"Look, of the sea..."
'Oh, that's when I remember it. Come to think of it, the place was called Emocion. And? Does bringing up the subject mean you want some kind of gigantic presence to metastasize as it was then?'

　Grimm asks Ray if the flow of the story suggests why Ray contacted him.
　As long as it wasn't actually wrong, Ray nods back and explains the situation.
　The underground space of Gilmoo and the tentacles, sacrifices, and covolts that come out of the space.

"Well, I see. ... There are many interesting things."

　To Ray's explanation, Grimm says so.
　Ray is a little surprised, perhaps because he didn't expect Grimm to be interested.
　But in terms of getting Grimm's help, it's a great deal of interest.

"I'm glad you've been interested. ... So, what do you think? Unlike the REM races, this enemy is not in this world, but in this space gap. So it's outside this world. Can you do anything about it?"
'Of course,'

　To Ray's words, Grimm responds without hesitation.
　It's not because you're showing off, it's because you're really confident in your ability.

"Then... can I ask you?"
'It's none other than Ray's request,'

　For Grimm, Ray was special.
　To be exact, Zepyle, who entrusted Ray with the art of the beast, was Grimm's dream in life.
　That's why he listens to Ray's request, also known as Zepyle's successor, unless Grimm has much time left.
　However, if Ray did something, he might turn to Grimm instead of trying to solve it himself.

"But I'll get the reward,"
"Remuneration? Well, it's fine if it's something I can pay, but Grimm isn't in any trouble with money, is it? ...and he won't be able to spend it in the first place."

　Of course, if you really want to spend money, Grimm has all the means.
　There are quite a few merchants who simply manipulate someone to buy something for them, or who are willing to pay them properly even if they are undead.
　But for Ray, it seemed unlikely that Grimm would want anything that people could get.
　And Ray's prediction is right.

'Well, Ray's words are not wrong. The one who wants 儂 is... who is going to transfer it this time.'
"It's... what should I say?"

　It was so unexpected that Ray couldn't go on speaking any longer.
　No, Ray isn't the only one surprised.
　The three Elenas, who had watched Grimm and Ray's conversation in silence, were surprised, even though they didn't say so.
　The first person to come back to life was Ray.

"Why, that tentacle again?"
'To emerge from a crack in space, it is certain that its existence has the ability to interfere in space, so it is only natural that 儂 should be interested?'
"That's... that's right, but...

　I understand what Grimm says.
　In addition, as long as Grimm is in a position to help, he will definitely have to accept it if he says so.
　Or, for a moment, Ray wondered if he might pull back if he negotiated, but, as far as Grimm's attitude was concerned, he certainly didn't seem to back.

'And from what I've heard, the tentacles are not necessarily monsters of the world, so whether or not Ray has the magical stones he wants... isn't it suspicious?'
"Uh..."

　It's not clear whether that existence is actually a monster.
　No, on the contrary, it's not clear whether it's in this world.
　Given that, it is doubtful whether Ray has the magic stone he wants.
　But it is also true that they may have doubts.

(What should I do? I'm sure Grimm will do something about it, but there may not be any magical stones, but I don't want to get any materials.)

　I also want it as a material for magic items, but honestly, I want it as a material in the sense that I killed the tentacles.
　But if he doesn't nod here, he probably won't be able to say no to Grimm's reward, unless Grimm helps him.

"Can't you do anything about it, Grimm?"
'Well, well... let's do this. Is it because Ray wants to prove that he's knocked down the tentacles?'

　I didn't say so directly, but from Ray's appearance Grimm says, "Did you guess what was going on?"

"Oh, oh. Otherwise, we can't objectively prove where the tentacles in the basement went and whether they were really knocked down."
"The tentacles disappear when they're cut off."

　It was Vihela who muttered to Ray.
　I guess it's because I've been fighting the tentacles myself that I feel that way.
　Ray saw the scene with his own eyes, so he didn't expect to be able to maintain the tentacles themselves.

(Well, maybe if you knock down the guy at the base of the tentacles, at the other end of the cleft space, the tentacles might not disappear.)

　For a moment it was Ray's prediction that it would probably be difficult.

'Well, I'll take that into consideration, and I'll give another concession. If... the owner of the tentacles has a magical stone, he may give it to Ray.'It's called a concession, but for Grimm it's more like a natural action.
　For Grimm, who had respected Zepyle before his death, he had no choice but not to do so if he could cooperate with the magic left behind by the Zepyle family.
　But it's not like we're going to do it for free...

'Well, it's the Rey's to transfer the tentacles and their Lord to other places, but the Rey's toppling them down. How about that?'
"I don't mind. On the contrary, I wish I could..."

　You may be able to obtain magical stones that can be used in the art of the beast, and you may be able to obtain evidence of defeating the tentacles and their masters.
　It was a great blessing for Ray, but as a party... no, based on the flow of the conversation, Elena will be there, and, of course, Arra will be there.
　Then it was only natural that we could not decide on our own.
　Nevertheless, the three of them, who were looked at, immediately nod back to Ray's words.

"No problem. I originally wanted to fight that tentacle again. Then, I can say this proposal is where I want it."
"To be honest, I don't feel good that such a place is not far from my house. Let's knock it down quickly."
"Of course, I agree. I can't leave such a creepy existence alone, and as a person living in Marina's house, I should naturally follow the landlord's opinion."

　Ray opens his mouth to these three with relief.

"I never expected you to grant my request so easily."
"It's Ray's request, of course. ... It's true that this case should be solved as soon as possible. I don't feel like sacrificing."

　Both Elena and Vihela nod to Marina's words.
　Even criminals who are certain to be executed are not comfortable to sacrifice.
　Of course, if there was really no other way, the marinas would have accepted the sacrifice.
　However, as long as the unnecessary means were at hand, there was no need to choose the option of sacrificing.
　The choice, however, would have been to enlist the help of the undead Grimm.

"Well, it seems that the story has come to an end. All that やる does is to move the tentacles and get them out of the rift in the space. The Rays fight against them. And the reward is the assignment of the parts that can prove that they have conquered, and the assignment of the magical stones, if any, isn't that all right?"
"Oh, that's all right. . . . Mr. Dusker may be considered convincing?"
"Yes, we'll do something about it. ... We've got to make a lot of mistakes, and it's hard."

　Or maybe I could be honest with you about Grimm if I were to be a Dasker.
　Marina thought so for a moment, but as long as Ray told us only, we couldn't easily divulge it to other people.
　I think Dusker would be all right, but undead is a hated being.
　That being the case, it was necessary to fabricate a false story, a so-called cover story, that there was a way to force the tentacles to transition while concealing Grimm's presence.

'Then we've decided. Let me know the exact date and time, etc.'
"Okay, but as long as you don't know exactly what kind of conditions the tentacles will come out under, it can be quite hard..."
'I'll leave that up to Ray. ... Those three.'

　Speaking to Ray, Grimm calls out to Elena and others at the end of the call, just before he stops talking.
　The Elenas looked at the skeletons in the pair of oves in surprise, wondering if they had ever expected Grimm to speak to them.
　Grimm utters a voice across the pair of oves, perhaps confirming that the three have turned their eyes to him.

'Ray is strong. He's talented. But he's still immature and dangerous. I'm glad that women like him will be with him.'

　Grimm bowed, saying so.
　... yes, the Grimm, worthy of being called Rich Road, bowed to the three Elena's.
　It was clearly a stunning sight.
　The three of them were unconscious that the crown on Grimm's head would not fall when he bowed, but Elena spoke.

"To be honest, I don't know why Mr. Grimm is so friendly to Ray. I don't know, but ... I'm with him. So Mr. Grimm doesn't have to do that. We chose a man named Ray ourselves."

　Elena's words to Grimm do not give me the initial fear or awe.
　Having spoken to Grimm, he must have decided that he really thought of Ray.
　Grimm, with his head up, glanced at Marina and Vihela, who looked at him in the same way as Elena, and nodded and finished the conversation between the obes.
