It was a dead eyeball, but the Ray's were not caught off guard when they saw it.
　I thought he might be waiting for a chance to counterattack or escape by pretending to be dead.
　Just in case, Ray stabbed his eyeballs, which had stopped working with a disposable spear instead of a twilight spear, but they still didn't seem to move.
　This is probably really dead.
　While I was determined to do so, I still could not do anything to distract my attention completely from my eyes.

"Grimm, you're here! Come out!"

　If the eyeballs are actually alive but show their true colors after handing them over to Grimm, then Ray has no problem.
　That is why, having removed the flaming emperor's red armor, he called upon Grimm."

"Well, it seems that you have knocked him down safely."

　Suddenly, that kind of voice echoes around me.
　All those present, including Ray, look around, but there is no Grimm anywhere.

'She's not there. ... Wait a minute. I'll be there at once.'

　The voice echoed again, and a few tens of seconds passed... until the space near the eyeballs was undulating, and the next moment there was a figure of Grimm.

"Well, what do you think?"

　Despite the dignity of being called Rich Road, the language is unexpectedly easy to use.
　And when I looked at Grimm, as he said, there was no sign of any particular pressure on anyone there.
　Grimm nods satisfactorily at them.

(Perhaps it's the same magic item as my new moon ring... no, it's more effective than that. Did Grimm originally have it or did he make it after looking at the new moon ring? I don't know, but I'm sure it'll help.)

　Now, Ray is talking to Grimm quite casually, but Grimm is undead... or, of all monsters, he is so overwhelming that he can be at the top.
　The reason why Grimm and Ray can talk comfortably with each other is because Grimm admired Zepyle in his lifetime.

"And, as you can see, I've knocked this eyeball down. You mean Grimm will get this corpse, right?"

　Ray's voice, asking so, is somewhat regrettable.
　The other side of the line attacked him and finally managed to defeat him.
　Having been so powerful, it is definitely a first-class magic item.
　For Ray, who has a hobby of collecting magic items, this eyeball is truly a treasure.
　However, being a treasure to Ray means that it is, of course, a treasure to Grimm.
　For Grimm, who has been studying magic for many years, there is no doubt that his eye-catching body, which is not the only one in the world, is invaluable.

"Well, let me do that. Reward is reward. And... love it."

　As Grimm wields his light cane, one of his tentacles is pulled out of his eyeballs and moved to the front of Ray.
　Originally, tentacles could quickly turn into dust, and as far as Ray could see, they would not turn into dust if they were pulled out of their eyes.

(Or did Grimm do something?)

　It was impossible to think of it as normal, but Ray felt that Grimm wouldn't be surprised to do anything.
　But he probably won't answer me when he hears it, and even on the main issue, as long as he had made an original promise, it's... that he's going to be rude here, but Grimm wields his cane again in front of him.
　Why? Everyone but Grimm here, including Ray, has such a question, but as if to ignore it, Ray's twilight spear has just penetrated, and his optic tail flies back in the sky.
　The tail that came back in front of Ray was partly cut off by Grimm wielding his cane again... and fell in front of him.
　We also don't scatter poison around as much as we did with the tentacles.
　However, the poison on the tail has not disappeared, and the mucus remains on the tail.

"Is this...?"

　Why do you put a part of this tail in front of you?
　As Ray asks, Grimm laughs convulsively.

"There's a custom in the world called New Year's money. ... You know Ray, don't you?"
"What!"

　New Year's money
　Naturally, Ray knew it.
　It's the money children get from adults on New Year's Day.
　However, it is a custom or event that was only in Japan and, of course, little is known in this Elgin.
　When Ray actually looks at the Elena, he just looks puzzled at what Grimm says all of a sudden.
　It must have been interesting to see Ray's expression of surprise.
　Grimm laughs again.

"This custom originally existed only for about ten years when the eagle was alive."

　Now that he was told that, Ray could understand why Grimm knew the word "otoshidama" and the custom.
　When Grimm was alive... it meant that the Zepail family existed, and the Zepail family had Takum Suinose, who was from Ray's hometown.
　From that name, it's obvious that he's from Japan, just like Ray, and if that's the case, he knows New Year's money, and I don't know for what reason, but I'm convinced that Takum has spread the money to Elgin.

"If you think you're just entering a new year, it's no wonder you give me New Year's money, isn't it?"
"... well, if you're going to give it to me, I'll be glad to."

　Now, if Grimm was against him, Ray wouldn't have been so honest as to have his tail handed over to him.
　But for Ray, Grimm is even a friendly partner.
　That being the case, I had no intention of refusing to give him New Year's money.

"Well, then, I should like to look into these huge eyes as soon as possible, and I am quite pleased to see Ray and his companions fighting."

　When he told me so, Grimm shook his cane three times... in an instant the huge eyeball corpse lying on the ground disappears.
　When Ray and his team were surprised at the sight, Grimm had disappeared.
　When the huge eyeballs disappear, the surroundings become empty.
　No, there are signs of a fierce battle with the eyeballs.
　There are many other traces of battle, including the desolate earth, the land melted by venom in the tail of the optic nerve.

"It's gone,"
"Well... I think it's amazing to have such a huge presence together."
"Oh, but in that sense, Ray's item box can hold a corpse as big as his eyeballs, can't it?"

　Listening to Marina and Vihela's conversation, Ray wonders.
　Of course, I don't deny that the mystery ring is amazing.
　But it's just Ray's ability, not his own, that's amazing.
　In that sense, without any difficulty... that's why Grimm, who can be transferred with such a large, eye-catching corpse, is an unconventional existence.

(Well, maybe it's some kind of magic item effect.)

　at any rate
　After looking around again, Ray opens his mouth.

"I can't say that my eyeballs are safe... but I'm done for now. I think it's about time we let the people around us know about the strength of our forces."
"Well, it's Gladallas I met on my way here, so I think I should report it to you."
"This... part of my tail was given to me by Grimm, but should I tell him about it? I'll submit the rest of my tentacles."
"That's a good idea. If you try to hide it badly here, you'll be in trouble later when the tail matter becomes a problem."
"...I'll ask you, but you're not going to take it, are you?"
"I don't know. They might ask me to look into it to some extent."If this tail is anything other than this world, or something else to be called a different world, many, not just alchemists, but also scholars, will be interested in.
　Some people might argue that it's outrageous to use it as a magic item.
　But for Ray, since he got a part of his tail from Grimm as a material for magic items, the option not to use it is...

(No, wait. If you study this tail, which is part of the existence of another world, you'll eventually go to another world... that's the way to the earth... what possibilities are there?)

　I think so for a moment, but Ray probably thinks the world is his place because he describes it as going to Earth instead of going back to Earth.
　That's not why I don't want to go to Earth.
　I also want to meet a lot of food that doesn't exist in Elgin and friends from when I was in high school days.

(Miyamoto loved robots, but somehow they got along with me.)

　I remember a particularly close friend among my friends.
　But soon, he says, shaking off fond memories that this is not the time to think about it.

"For the time being, do we need to let them know that we've knocked our eyes down, let alone whether we're going to pass our tails over there? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　an eyeball over 10 meters in size floating in the air
　Naturally, if it was that big, it would have been visible to the knights and soldiers who had prepared themselves for the occasion.
　Now that the eyeballs floating in the air have disappeared, it was safe to judge.

(It's possible that we lost and our eyes returned to the cracks in the space...)

　In fact, his eyeballs were undoubtedly strong opponents worthy of his eerie appearance.
　If Ray and Sett were to fight alone, they would certainly have struggled considerably, if not lose...

(Thinking about it, I was right to leave Arla and Bune behind.)

　Arra could have done a lot of damage to her eyeballs after she fell to the ground, but she couldn't hold her hands or legs in the air.
　Bune was completely under-skilled, too.
　No, in terms of lack of ability, Arra is probably the same.
　I can damage my eyeballs, but I don't think I was able to deal with countless tentacles with Arla'

"Well, if I stay here all the time, I'll just make them worry, and let's get on with it."

　Everyone nods to Marina's words, including Ray.
　To be honest, Ray wanted to take a little more time off before he could, but knowing that the Gladalas reserve was ready to move, it was true that he had better tell the end as soon as possible.

"Grull".

　Meanwhile, Seto comes near Ray and rubs his face against him, purring.
　Seto had been paralyzed by an electric shock with his eyes, but he probably recovered to some extent after some time.
　It was obvious, considering that the last attack was also eye-catching.

"Thank you, Seto. I owe it to you that I won that eyeball."

　At Ray's words, Seto purrs happily.
　I'm sure Seto is more pleased to be praised by Ray than by anyone.

"Well, I didn't think there was such a way to attack. ... I'm glad I didn't bring him here."

　Elena muttered, listening to Ray and Sett's conversation.
　Yero had a strong defense, but he still didn't know what would happen if he was struck by lightning.
　Or maybe it wouldn't have been a problem if it had been a more mature yellow...
　As they talked, the Rays eventually began to walk towards Gladallas.
