The day after speaking to Grimm, Marina was heading to the lord's estate to tell Dasker what happened yesterday, while Elena and Vihela were warming up for the show.
　...and neither Arla nor Bune will take part in this battle.
　It's because Bune doesn't know Grimm, and above all, it's purely a lack of ability.
　Arra is strong enough to deliver a powerful blow with Power Axe.
　However, in a battle that was absolutely inferior to others in terms of non-aggressiveness, there was a high possibility of being dragged down by a large numbers of tentacles.
　Bune would have been a problem before that.
　He has a powerful weapon called white clouds, but is no match for Arra in terms of offensive power.
　Although the speed of movement surpasses that of Arla, the extent to which Bune's movements can be communicated with the tentacles is delicate, given that the tentacles' movements are substantial.
　Arra still said she would join the fight if Elena were to fight, and at the very least she would like to be a shield... of course Elena would not accept it.
　Eventually, the two of us had a conversation, and then we managed to come to an agreement.
　Bune looked a little worried at Vihela, but she could say nothing more if she saw him looking forward to it.
　Now Arra and Bune were both watching a mock battle between Elena and Viehra in Marina's garden.
　In the meantime, what Ray is doing...

"I'm glad that there seems to be no problem,"
"There was a sudden call from above yesterday... Is there anything today?"

　Are we really informed of the cancellation of the demolition of the gigant turtleneck? We came to the guild to make sure that.
　People from the slums, in particular, are staying in Guild warehouses on the assumption that the gigant turtles will be demolished.
　I was a little concerned about the area, but Lenora told me that there seemed to be no particular problem and I was relieved.

"Something. I do, but there are a lot of circumstances. I can't say that."

　Langa has instructed us not to mention the underground space or tentacles.
　Furthermore, the tentacles that are in the underground space -- or appear -- are forcibly transferred and called to reality, and the Ray and others alone kill them.
　You wouldn't normally be trusted to say that.
　However, considering that Ray has done one thing after another that would not normally have been possible, it's Ray who could possibly believe it.
　In the first place, Ray's partner, Seto, who had made the Gryphon a subterfuge -- in fact, it was produced by witchcraft -- is not something that would normally be believed.
　However, Ray is actually subservient to Seto, so even if it's unbelievable, there's a basis for him to believe that...
　Moreover, Lenora is well aware of Ray's absurdity, as she has known him since he first came to Gilm.
　That's why I couldn't tell you more about the situation.

"I see. I'm afraid I can't help it."

　Lenora, too, is not allowed to ask as long as she is the Guild's receptionist... maybe because she knows there are things she shouldn't ask, she gives it back to Ray.

"But Kenny will probably be frustrated when he finds out that Ray is here."
"Really? We see each other quite often, and I don't think there's anything you should worry about."

　As he says so, Ray turns his eyes to Lenora's side, where Kenny usually sits.
　But it's another receptionist who's there today on a holiday.
　Ray has spoken to several times, but he's not that close.
　Instead of Kenny, the receptionist, who works there today, looks up from the document she was reading to see if she felt Ray's gaze.

"What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. I just thought Kenny would have made a lot of noise."
"Oh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　I guess Ray understood what he meant.
　The receptionist glances at Lenora and laughs misleadingly.

"Hey, Mullina. Can you tell me more about what you mean by that?"
"It's nothing special. I just thought Lenora would be a little lonely without Kenny."

　Lenora is a co-worker, even though she's not that close to Ray.
　Ray, who naturally watched the friendly conversation, needs to go back and get ready for today.

(Oh, come back... I didn't naturally go to Marina's house now, I thought I should go back.)

　I feel a little ticklish about it, and I speak with a sense of satisfaction for myself, who thought it was natural.

"Renora, I have something to do, so don't go now."
"What? Oh, yes. Well, I showed you something ugly.
"I don't think you need to be so shy, then, now."

　Tell him so, Ray heads to the guild door.
　It's probably because the gigant turtles are no longer dismantled. Guilds and bars are more crowded than usual.
　Some of them bow when they see Ray.
　I guess it's because I understand that Ray has a job.
　In fact, it is true that this winter's guillem is unusually busy thanks to the dismantling of the Giant Turtle.
　After all, it must be great to be able to see something directly that can be described as a small mountain.
　It also gets even more lively when people participating in the demolition eat and sell their own rewards and gigant turtles.
　In that sense, many regretted that the demolition of the Giant Turtle had been abruptly canceled yesterday and today.
　However, the reason why they don't complain about Ray is probably because many people are afraid that they won't be able to participate in the demolition.
　Of course, if the gigant turtles are not dismantled today, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even more days after tomorrow, some might complain to Ray.

(In that sense, I suppose we need to end that tentacle only today. ... Well, if it's a big fight, I don't want to let it go either.)

　The failure to carry out large-scale attacks was largely due to the fact that the battlefield was underground.
　If he had used Ray's magic or something badly, he could have been buried alive in underground space.
　Now that it's gone, we can fight without hesitation, and above all, it's very important that Seto.
　Ray smiles as he sees Seto playing with his children outside the guild.
　though the smile was not a smile of a smile, but a fierce one in the face of today's battle.

"Hush!"

　A passerby nearby screams when he sees Ray smile.
　Not surprisingly, Ray notices such a scream and withdraws his unconsciously smiling face.

"I'm sorry,"
"Yes, no,"

　A passerby responds to Ray's apology, but quickly leaves.

(Oh... I've done it, but if it's the kind of smile I've had, I don't think there's that much to be afraid of in guillem.)

　A little reflection will not stop you from feeling belligerent, given the battle that will take place in a few hours.
　Normally, Ray wouldn't smile like that at the monsters around him.
　However, Ray's tentacles were in many ways different from the monsters he had fought against.
　Ray is not the only one who fights... he can't fight seriously, but with the help of Grimm's help.
　Grimm then transfers the enemy and Ray and his companions fight the enemy.

(It's similar to the REM race... but it's still different.)

　It's definitely the same form as the REM races that we fought in Emocion in terms of metastasis and fighting against our peers.
　But my companions were friends, and during Emotion they were temporary companions.
　By comparison, all but Ray fight the tentacles this time: Elena, Marina and Vichela, and Seto's total of four and one.
　It's not like the wings of the red lotus as a party, but a battle with a friend who will be with Ray for a long time to come.
　It was impossible not to burn under such circumstances.

"Hey. I'm sorry, but I have something to do now. Would you mind letting me go?"Ray's voice leaves the children playing with Seto regretfully.
　What makes sense so far is probably the education of parents, but even more so, if we don't listen to Ray, the set will sound sadly.
　That's why they follow Ray's advice and leave the set.
　...and some of them were adults playing with Seth, who knew Ray's situation -- in terms of his position as an adventurer, not his tentacles -- so they let him go as soon as he called them.

"Grull".

　Released by those he was playing with, Seto caresses the child's face with his tail, who still wants to play with him, and then approaches Ray.
　When Ray caresses Seto rubbing his face against him, he calls out to those present.

"I can't do it today, but play with Seth again. Seth likes to play with people."

　Saying only that, Ray walks away with Sett.
　The facial expressions there are the same as usual, and most importantly, many of them are hidden by the dragon lobe hood.
　Still, among those who were seeing off one by one, those who knew about the battle as adventurers seemed a little nervous and excited at the same time.

"Well, what happened to you today.
"Well? I don't think there's any monster coming in. Cobold, who had been invading the guillem, seems to have lost much of that worry with the clay wall made by Ray."
"...so why is Ray like that? In the first place, the gigant turtleneck has disappeared today."
"Oh... I know. I was going to have a drink of the meat I got today. ... That's frustrating."
"No, that's not the case. You know what I mean, right?"
"I don't deny that. But when the gigant turtles are no longer dismantled, it's obvious that there's something wrong, but I don't think we need to know."

　A man who doubts Ray's attitude nods to a friend who tells him so, as if he knew it.
　But even if you know it, it's definitely a fact that bothers you.
　Adventurer in Guilm...or Ray, one of the most powerful men in the art of fighting.
　It was true that Ray was not just a matter of war, as he was showing a fighting spirit.
　However, I will not follow Ray no matter how concerned I am.
　This is because as an adventurer, he understands that if Ray has someone to mimic his real fight, he is more likely to die meaninglessly even if he is there.

"If Ray is the kind of person who fights, losing could damage Gilm. What do you think about that?"
"You say so. Honestly, when Ray fights, he has no image of losing."
"That's... well,"

　Knowing Ray's strength, I have no image of losing, albeit not very much.
　It's about Ray... and anyone who knows Ray and Sett's ability will feel more strongly.

"First of all, there's no point in us worrying about Ray, so why don't you think about something else?"
"...what else?"
"Well, do you know, for example, that there is a stall selling a little rare meat bun?"
"Unusual?"

　The man who was interested in meat buns stopped thinking about Ray any more.
