We called a yakidon stand and ate as many other teppanyaki dishes as we wanted, including steaks made from gigant turtles that Ray had given us, and the day after the launch... Ray and Marina were heading to the lord's house together.
　Elena and Arra are busy explaining the incident to aristocratic nobles in Gilm and writing reports to submit to Anesis.
　Vichela is at the scene of the demolition of the Gigant Turtle in the sense of guarding Bune.
　However, it seems that the effect of knocking down the eyeballs appeared immediately yesterday, or that the eyeballs and other monsters were not appearing, and they seemed to be very free. 　
　Seto is playing with his children in the guillem where snow is being gathered by snow shovels.

"I'm sorry, you came yesterday, today."

　the office of a lord
　Reading the papers, Dusker tells the two people sitting on the sofa eating tea and dried fruit prepared by the maid.

"No, if I have to report it, I think I should report it as soon as possible."
"Well, there were a lot of things that bothered me about this case. In that sense, we still need to get the information together. That's probably why Dusker called us."
"Ah... well, that's what it looks like. I checked with the guy who fought the eyeballs directly in the basement and understood that the tentacles were real. And was that tail? I'm looking into that as well. ... I don't think I can give them to you tomorrow, but I think I can give them to you within a few days."
"It's early. I thought it would take a little longer."

　If the alchemist were to look into it closely, it would be natural that it would take time.
　Moreover, it seems that the highlight of this battle is not the existence of this world, but of another world.
　That being the case, some alchemists might want to get a little bit of information and, in some cases, look it up on an annual basis.
　...however, the tail is raw.
　There's no denying that if you do something like check it out by the year, it will rot.

"Well, I know that alchemists and scholars really want to look into it more closely, but it's yours after all. I can't do anything about it under my authority. ... If you really want to look into it, that's what we'll go to Ray for ourselves."

　Then decide whether Ray will lend it or not.
　Dasker continues, and Ray nods to the words.
　In fact, there is no doubt that the tail of that eyeball is very rare, but Ray doesn't know exactly what kind of magic it can be used for.
　Dusker's suggestion was by no means a bad one in the sense that an alchemist would examine it.
　Ray, however, has a very skilled alchemist who can make the spear of twilight, so that's probably the first one to listen to.

"Well, then, shall we hear from Ray and Marina the story of yesterday's incident first? But we could see the eyeballs flying from Gilm. And we saw the traces of the battle, but you were the only one who actually fought."
"All right,"

　The only people at the scene of that battle were Ray.
　What's more, since Grimm took it with him, the only thing left is the rough land as a result of the battle.
　...however, it may have been fortunate that the damage was not as severe as Dusker had feared.
　Ray, one of the creators of such a scene, explains to Dusker the scene of the battle.
　an ugly appearance with eyes that could not be grasped from afar
　And above all, in many ways, there are many abilities that deserve to be called special.
　Listening to them, Dusker relieves himself that he's glad he's left the matter entirely to the Ray's.
　Dusker has great confidence in his men's knights, soldiers and guards, but that's only the case when dealing with ordinary enemies.
　If Guillum's forces had been used against the eyeballs of the same strength as Ray had heard, the damage would certainly have been serious.
　That would certainly mean a shortage of workers in the extension, which will resume in the spring.
　Even last year, guards were not enough, and soldiers and knights were working in various places.
　So we managed to get around... no, given that we ended up hiring adventurers as security agents because we didn't have enough hands, it goes without saying what would have happened if we had fewer people in this case.
　Furthermore, as information has spread that unlike last year, the number of people coming to Guillum will definitely be higher than last year.

"I see. ... I see."

　Dasker nods once and nods again a few seconds later.
　Marina opens her mouth with a small smile as she watches Ray speak over a cup of tea.

"How did I fight... what were you thinking?"
"Well, well, that's..."

　Dusker hesitates, wondering if Marina's remark was correct.
　Dusker was a knight before he became lord, and his strength was one of the most famous in the kingdom of Milliana.
　He is now a feudal lord, and yet, in times of need -- including the war against the Westian Empire a few years ago -- daily training is essential.
　For that reason, he must have been happy that the number of soldiers, knights, and guards had not decreased in this incident, and at the same time he might have wanted to fight.

"Well, I understand Dusker's feelings, but make sure you know he's a lord. ... Well, if you want to fight a strong opponent, I think you'll be happy to deal with him in Vihela."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

　Dusker is one of the few people who knows that Vihela is the princess of the Vestian Empire.
　For that reason, Marina's suggestion to fight against the viola is beyond reasonable.

"Let's leave the matter alone for now... and the matter which has troubled Gillum since the winter has been settled for now."
"... I know. It's really just for now."

　a slightly astringent look on one's face
　The matter this time has certainly been settled.
　However, it has not only caught the perpetrator, but it has not yet been able to catch the person who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
　In other words, similar things could happen again in Guillum in some cases.
　What's more, it was winter and the number of inhabitants in Gilm was small, so it didn't have to be as much of a disturbance as Dusker had expected.
　And as for adventurers, many were always able to move in guillem in winter -- some too drunk to do so.
　It's safe to say that the situation has been very favorable to Gillum.
　What if this was a spring-autumn extension that was gathering a lot of people…what if there were a lot of cobolts at the site of the extension?
　The mere thought of it gave Dusker a headache.
　In that sense, it must have been fortunate for Gillum that this incident occurred in winter.

"And do you know anything about the mastermind of this case?"
"To some extent,"

　Marina's question is a dubious dasker.
　Dusker, who trusted Marina and Ray, thought they would solve the matter themselves.
　In the first place, the enemy is the royal faction...not all royalists, but most likely a particular part of the royal faction.
　That being the case, there is no way we could manage this case with military power alone, and Dusker's position would have been to solve it by himself if possible.
　...Of course, if you needed to use force, you had the option of relying on Ray, who had a partner called Seto, who could travel at high speed.

"Yes, it must be hard, but do your best."

　Marina doesn't act like asking directly whether she understood Dusker's feelings or if she wanted to help him.
　That doesn't mean Marina doesn't feel angry about the incident.
　Marina has lived in this place for quite some time, much less because she has known Dusker, the present lord, since childhood.
　Moreover, it is now a city where I have met with Ray... and Elena and Vihela.
　Marina can't have a good time at being interrupted by such a place.
　Still, Marina did not act directly because she understood that the lord of Gilm was Dusker.
　Marina's words of hard work mean exactly what they say, but they also remind her to retaliate against anyone who's been playing around like this.
　Dusker nods back, saying it's only natural, since he doesn't want to leave the person who imitated him like this to the guillem he is governing.

"You've been so playful with my guillem. You've got to be very polite."

　In this case, there is also strong anger in Dusker, as it could have destroyed Gilm if he was not good at it.That's twice as much... or more so than that, that I'm determined to return it finds the mastermind.
　But soon Dusker realizes he has crushed the papers with rage and opens his hand in a hurry.
　Dusker's hand-clenched documents were not torn, but they were still in a state of some difficulty reading the text.
　Place it on the office desk with an innocent look and open your mouth.

"So, the story changes... but was Ray's master satisfied with this battle?"

　For a moment, Ray almost opened his mouth to ask if he was a master, but immediately this incident... I remember that Grimm was making a cover story in which he had a hypothetical person called his master do the transition of his eyeballs.

"Yes. I struggled a little, but those eyes were pretty strong opponents. And they didn't seem to be dissatisfied, partly because the master paid for most of them."
"...I see. Ray. I'm really going to ask you, but can't your master live in Gilm?"
"It must be difficult,"

　I'd like to say it's impossible, but I'm asked why I can say it all.
　As long as the reason is that Grimm is undead, it is impossible to say when asked.

"I see. I wanted you to live in Guillum because I could help me in an emergency like this. I'll have you prepare as much things as I can, but can't you?"
"It must be difficult,"

　Ray says the same thing again.
　However, this difficulty has a different meaning than before.
　When it comes to being as good as Grimm, it will be easy to collect materials and other things that Dusker prepares in Gillm by himself.
　That being the case, even if Dusker wants Grimm to come because it's undead, there's no benefit to Grimm.
　...or, in a way, it might be beneficial to be able to live in the same guillem as the Reys.
　At any rate, there is no doubt that Grimm's living in Guilm is overwhelmingly more risky than his return.
　When asked if Grimm would admit it, Ray could only tilt his head.
　Not only Ray, but Marina nods in agreement.

"Instead of relying on Ray's teacher, I think it's better to use Gilm's power to deal with something that happens."
"I know that. Besides, I've done a lot of things..."

　The reason why Dusker's tone was somewhat bitter was probably because they couldn't settle the matter by themselves.
　Then, instead of this incident, we chatted... the three of them had a relaxing time.
