2022 Episode 2022



"And this Lizardman is here,"

 Hearing from Ray, Marina looks dumbfounded at Zozo standing in her garden.
 Originally, Ray didn't want to bring Zozo here either.
 Since Zozo was clearly leading the metastasizing lizard men, he wanted them to get together.
 But no matter how much Ray gestured to remain in the lord's residence and lead the other lizardmen, Zozo did not nod.
 Since he had obeyed Ray's orders until now, he showed his attitude about how important it was for Zozo to be on Ray's side.
 In the end, it wasn't Ray... it was Dusker who broke first.
 Through Ray, he told Zozo that the lizard men remaining in the lord's residence would never go on a rampage... or, subject to an order, he allowed him to act with him.
 Zozo now wears a demon necklace around his neck, similar to Seto's, and is treated as Ray's demon in name and reality.
 And Ray's subservience means that if Zozo causes any problems, it's Ray who is responsible.
 As much as possible, I didn't want Zozo to cause any problems.
 However, Zozo's attitude has changed dramatically compared to when he first met him.
 That's the way Ray was initially despised now.

"Ah... well, what's wrong with Elena and Arra?"

 At this rate, Ray misleads the story when he thinks Marina will say something more.
 Only Ray, Marina, Bune, Seto and Zozo are currently in the garden of this marina.
 Vichela will be heading towards Gillum by now to replace the additional face she made to the forest of Trent, so only two and one of them are sure to know where she has gone.
 Naturally, Marina knew what Ray had in mind to say such a thing, but she didn't blame him any more, so she got on with it.

"I hear that Elena and Arra had an impromptu interview with aristocrats."
"All of a sudden?" That means...
"I suppose so,"

 When Ray says so, looking at Zozo, Marina nods back to him.
 Zozo, who was stared at by the two of them, does not seem to take any action while standing still.

"Where did the information come from?"
"You'll leak information from anywhere. But I think the most likely are woodcutters and adventurers."

 Woodcutters and adventurers look at the Llornola and Zozo that have spread to the forest of Trent.
 Then the woodcutter finished his work early and returned to Gilm.
 If these woodcutters drank in bars and other places, they would talk about their natural metastasis.
 aristocratic aristocrats...or even royal aristocrats, or neutral aristocrats other than Dusker, collect information in guillem.
 For those who gather such information, it's only natural to hear information from such woodcutters and adventurers.
 And Ray understood that the information would have helped him understand what had happened and brought it to Elena...

"Well, I don't think Mr. Dusker will do anything about it by himself, so that's all right."

 Regardless of the status quo, it is difficult to clear up this case with just a guillem if someone is to continue to spread.
 In such a case, Dusker will, of course, talk to other factions.
 And since the first person to talk to is naturally a cooperative aristocrat, it is safe to think that it is okay to get some information from the aristocracy here.

"Well, by the way... the lizard, let alone the green subhuman."

 Ray glances at the muttering marina, wondering if she knew anything.
 Bune also looked at Marina, eating a small bite-sized sandwich -- a snack before dinner -- as if she were curious about where Vihela was.
 Ray doesn't know that Bune's expression is changing as usual, but he's still looking at Viehla, perhaps, is concerned.

"Don't be so. Don't you know anything about it from your experience as an adventurer?"

 Marina was an adventurer before she became a guildmaster.
 It's a long time since I was a dark elf.
 That's why Marina shakes her head when she asks if she knows anything about the green subhuman.

"No, I'm afraid there's no such thing,"
"Well, there's a case of Lizardman, and I thought maybe... Huh? What's the matter, Zzzo?"

 I'm guessing it's a different world, but with Lizzardman there may be a green subhuman in the world.
 Ray was disappointed, and suddenly he noticed Zozo's movement, and when he looked at him, he saw Zozo frozen with astonishment.
 I have doubts about Zozo's appearance, which makes me think that time has been stopped or that he has been pushed to pause, and I follow my gaze.
 Behind Zozo's gaze was Yero flying straight to his friend Seto.
 Zozo stopped moving completely the moment he saw him.

"Well, Zozo?"

 Perhaps he notices Ray asking bewilderedly, Zozo turns his eyes to Ray, then to Yero, and then to Ray and to Yero again and so on.
 For Ray, it was doubtful that Zozo, who had been on his side ever since he knelt down, would be so upset.

"What's wrong with you?"
"Squeak?"

 Yero was flying toward Seto, but perhaps he noticed his name coming out of Ray's mouth, so he changed direction and headed for Ray.
 The sight of her flying hard with her small body gives her a different kind of loveliness from Seto to the show.
 The approach of such a yellow leaves Zozo erect and immovable.

(Well, a lizard is a lizard, and a black dragon is a black dragon, so maybe there's something wrong with him, as long as he's a similar being... ...though he's clearly a better person.)

 Landing safely on Ray's palm, Yero turns to Zozo and cries, "Cyu?"
 You must have wondered because there was someone you didn't know.
 Zozo kneels down again, like in the forest of Trento.
 There's no doubt that it's not Ray... but Yero on Ray's palm that's kneeling down.

"...what the hell is this?"

 Just then, Elena and Arra entered the courtyard.
 For the two of us, it's no wonder that the scene of a lizard kneeling down on Ray and Yellow was spreading.
 It's obviously strange that Lizardman is in the guillem, but... when you see him wearing a demon necklace, there's no doubt that it's a tamed monster.
 And as long as Ray is here, it's not surprising how much Lizardman has been tamed.
 Elena, however, knew Ray wasn't really a Tamer, but she still showed what she thought of him in ending the scene with Ray.

"It's to do with the matter that Elena has heard of. ... You haven't heard of Zozo?"
"Yes,"
"To put it simply, this lizard man was also a metastatic, and when I knocked him down, he would obey me. So he didn't ask me to follow him, and he ended up here. And the moment I saw him, I suddenly got like this."

 That was enough to convince Elena and Arra, who were accustomed to Ray's work, though it was a straightforward explanation.

"I see. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 Zozo was kneeling on his knees, but he looked up at the conversation between Ray and Elena, and the moment he saw Elena, he kneeled again... no, deeper than he did against him.
 It's as if you're afraid you'll fall on the ground.

"... Ray?"
"Well, I can predict it."

 That's how Ray tells Elena questions.
 If Ray's prediction is correct, Lizzardman... or maybe just a tribe of zozos, is in great awe of the existence of dragons.
 That's why he kneels down so strongly to Elena, who has paid homage to the Black Dragon's child, Yero, and inherited the magical stone of the Ensent Dragon.

"Perhaps the Zozo have a similar feeling to God about dragons."

 With that word, Elena understands Ray's point.

"I see. But... to be honest, I don't think so.""I won't deny it."

 Elena understands that she is looked up to by many by the nickname of General Hime.
 Still, I've only had a few serious prayers that I could say risk my life.
 However, I think it's a special example to know someone who, even if it's only a few, acts as if they believe in themselves.
 At any rate, for Zozo, who has a strong reverence for the existence of dragons, Elena, who has inherited the enchantment dragon, the magical stone of the highest of all dragons, seems to even be God himself.

(Actually, is Zozo not a top or a rare species of Lizardman, but a Dragon New species? Or maybe the top species of Lizardman is Dragon New.)

 As for Ray's image, Dragon Newt is even closer to Dragon than Lizardman......of course, he is knowledgeable about anime and manga that he saw while in Japan.
 If Zozo is the Dragon Newt, that's what I understand about him and Elena.

"Don't you deny it? ... For now, will you tell me to stand up? I can't talk at this rate."
"Well, I don't think I'll say anything or listen to it in the current situation."

 I don't think Ray would hear anything from Zozo, who behaves as if he had seen God.
 When Ray tells her so, Elena is at a loss what to do.
 However, since we can't leave it as it is, we'll eventually speak to Zozo.

"Stand up,"

 You must have heard the word.
 Zozo looks up... but, as long as he doesn't know what Elena is saying, he bows again.

"Ray,"

 Elena glances at Ray in distress.
 Feeling fresh in Elena's manner, Ray moves close to Zozo and slaps him on the kneeling shoulder.
 Zozo is surprised at the sudden tap on the shoulder.
 It seems that perhaps he was nervous about Elena's presence, but he didn't notice her approaching at all.
 make a gesture to stand on such a chill
 Eventually, they would have figured out what Ray was looking for.
 Zozo turns his eyes to Ray, then to Elena, and then stands up gently.
 Elena nods satisfactorily to Zozo, who has finally stopped kneeling in front of her.

"Yes. I don't mind paying homage to the Gent Dragon's magical stone in me, but I don't have to do anything about it. Are you Ray's subservient to me in the first place? ... No, I don't think I could communicate."

 Saying so to Zozo, Elena turns to Ray in trouble, but Ray shakes his head at him.
 I want you to translate what Elena is saying.
 That's probably what Elena expects, but if it's not easy, it wasn't likely for Ray to translate the words with gestures.

"For the time being, I stopped him kneeling, so let it go now. To communicate more accurately, after he learns the language...."

 The last time Ray lost his speech was because he was worried about when Zozo would learn it.
 Zozo felt that he might not have time to learn the language like the Green Asians and the rest of the Lizardmen, given that he was in the position of Ray's servant and subject.
 That way, we'll have to communicate with gestures forever.
 It was Ray's honest desire to forgive him if possible.
