Marina, Elena, Arra, and others woke up just at that time after the mock war, and we all had breakfast together."

"Well, then, Zozo's strength is more than Bune and less than Vihela."

　After tasting the vegetable soup, Elena muttered.
　But it was a little unreasonable to try to gain strength.
　Bune is quite strong for this age, but still not the strongest, and above all, he is above all.
　And Vihela was definitely a very high ranking among them, and when it came to strength between them, the range was too wide.

"Well, then... why don't you fight so hard?"

　Marina's words draw everyone's attention to Arra.
　Zozo, who was waiting behind Ray, probably came up with his name. Everyone looks at Arla.
　And, as seen by everyone, Arra opens her mouth bewilderedly.

"What? Me?"
"I see,"

　Arra exclaims in surprise, while Elena nods convincingly.
　In fact, if you're the closest person to Beune in the room, it's Arla.
　Ray, Elena, and Vihela have outstanding power in the whole of Gilm.
　Marina is not very good for mock warfare, as long as she uses archery and spiritual magic as her weapons.
　However, if you want to do it, you will naturally show a lot of strength. That's definitely enough to beat Zozo.

"But if we were to have a mock battle, it would be tonight. When I've finished eating this, I'll have to bring Zozo to the lord's house."

　Didn't any other lizard do anything yesterday?
　Have you learned to communicate with the Lorornola?
　There was much else to ask, such as what to do with the forest of Trent.
　However, the trees that have been cut down in the forest of Trent are far from enough in Guillum, which is currently undergoing extensions.
　With that being the case, we could hardly have thought that logging by woodcutters would be suspended, even though there was some danger.

(If possible, it would be to increase the number of escort adventurers, not just the number, but the quality.)

　Up until yesterday, the duty of guarding woodcutters working in the woods of Trent was mainly undertaken by the less able adventurers.
　However, given the incident involving Llornola and Zozo, it will naturally be necessary to send people who will be able to deal with the situation properly if something happens.

"Well, I'd like to go to the lord's house today for some information. ... I think I can ask the workers."

　Marina says the name of the guildmaster after her, but there is no seriousness in her words.
　It may be because the guilds, as well as the lord's house, know that they are busy with this affair.
　...but in that sense the lord's house, which directly harbors the Llornola and the Lizardmen, is busier.
　Marina, however, wanted to meet the green Asians she had heard from Ray.
　Living in the woods often -- with exceptions like marina -- it was impossible as a dark elf not to be interested in a green subhuman with the power to grow plants instead of eating.
　Not knowing Marina's intentions, Ray nods when he goes to see what's going on with her and decides that if she really can't handle it, she'll do something to help.

"Well, let me go with you, too. I heard many things from the nobles yesterday, and I should like to hear more from you, Mr. Dusker, if possible."

　If Elena says so, of course Arla says she's going to go out with it...

"Of course I'll go, too. If possible, I'd like to go to the forest of Trent."

　Vihela, of course, says she will go, too.

"Yes!"

　Bune also calls out that she will go to Vihela's words.
　However, Vihela looks complicated at Bune.

"I understand that Bune wants to go to the forest of Trent, but it's impossible to go to the forest of Trent because of his ability. Then why don't you take his usual request from the beginning?"

　If this was normal, Vihela wouldn't say this either.
　But once you've had a mock battle with Zozo and learned how good it is, you don't have the option of taking Bune to the forest of Trent.
　Zozo is certainly weaker than Vihela, but he still has the ability to beat Beune.
　If such an existence were to emerge by means of metastasis, which would not be known where it would come from, then it was only natural to worry about it.

"...huh,"

　Bune sounds a little dissatisfied with Vichela's words.
　His face hasn't changed, but the voice clearly shows his displeasure.
　Nevertheless, given Vihela's personality, it is certain that she will never listen to me even if I force her here.
　If Bune understands it or shows signs of dissatisfaction, he won't say anything more.

"So now we all have plans for today." ... Zozo naturally acts with Ray, right?"
"You treat me as a Timmonster. To be honest, I'm not that happy to treat such a highly intelligent monster as Timmonster."

　Rey said that to Vihela, but Vihela... no, everyone else looked at me dumbfounded.
　Even Bune, who rarely changes his expression, has a dumb expression on his face, so it's easy to understand how dumbfounded he is.

"Well, Ray. I'll tell you, Seto is smart enough, too. ... Well, he's a Gryphon, so it's natural. Anyway, he's taming the Gryphon, but he's not taming the Lizardman..."
"Set?"
"Glu?"

　When Ray mutters Seto's name, did you call him? Seto, who was eating a stewed dish full of meat and vegetables, looks up, crying.
　She looks very lovely, but it's obvious that she has a high level of intelligence.
　However, in the case of Seto, he did not officially tame it, but was created from Ray by magic, which is why Ray has never been particularly concerned about it.

"Oh... yeah. Just, you know. I raised Seto since I was little, and that's why we took it for granted to be together."

　There are two people here, Arra and Bune, who don't know about the art of the beast, so they make such a mistake, remembering the ostensible setting first.
　The explanation made everyone look satisfied...the time for breakfast was passing.





"Yes, it stands out,"

　I miss the way people look at me...that's Ray muttering, feeling like he was in Gilm for the first time.
　Needless to say, the cause is appalling.
　They are larger than ordinary lizard men, and for those who know them, they may be recognized as superior or rare species.
　Even for strangers, Zozo's power is quite overwhelming.
　The reason why it still won't cause trouble is probably because Zozo has a devil's necklace around his neck.
　It's also because Ray, who tamed Seto, is following the zozo.
　In fact, there are other Elena members besides Ray, but it was his usual behavior that made him think that it was Ray who tamed Zozo.

"Well, but you'll get used to it over time, and this time you're walking to the lord's house."

　Marina's words make Ray understand why it turned out to be a walk, not a carriage.
　It's to show as many people as possible that Ray tamed Zozo.
　And it was necessary to let him know that Zozo was loyal to Ray and that he would never go on a rampage against his will.
　However, since Zozo doesn't understand Ray's words, he needs to stop Zozo by force in case of emergency."Well... Zozo doesn't look so cute, so he won't be as popular as Seto."
"I suppose,"

　Ray agrees with the words.
　Unlike Seto, who looks good with the word "lovely," such a word doesn't suit Zozo.
　If Zozo is asked if he can gain the popularity of Seto with his guillem, he will not be able to nod honestly.

(But when I was in Japan, there were people who liked reptiles and wanted to pet them, and if there were people like that in this world, they would like Zozo. ... If you look closely, it's not cute, it's cool.)

　Ray didn't like reptiles so much, but he knows there is a reptile lover in the world.
　That's probably why some of these Elgins prefer Zozo.
　It's only natural to think so.

"But... it's a little sad that no one usually comes to caress Seto, perhaps because Zozo is there."
"I understand what Elena is saying, but it's probably only now. Once you get used to Zozo's existence, you'll probably be the same as before."

　At Vihela's words, I wonder if Elena will look at Zozo.
　Feeling Elena's gaze, Zozo felt a momentary strain on his body... and he looked as nervous as you can see.
　For Zozo, Elena inherited the magical stones of the Ensent Dragon, and because of the presence of Yero, she is a respectable partner.
　If I had met Elena before I met her, I might as well decide to obey her.
　That being said, it was only because Ray had first met him that he was able to meet Elena.
　Zozo is never dissatisfied with his decision to obey Ray.

"The only thing I can do about Zozo is to let her get used to it little by little, as Vihela says. If you live in Guilm, you'll get used to it very soon."

　Marina's words were convincing.
　Vichela had not lived in Gilm since she was a child, but only a few years after she began living in Gilm.
　Still, I guess there are many things to think about the place called Gilmoo.

"I hope so. ... Wait a minute."

　While walking, Ray and Sett head to a nearby stand selling skewers.
　The owner smiles at his regular Ray... but for a moment he looks surprised to see Zozo following him as a matter of course.
　But he immediately smiled and spoke to Ray as usual.

"Come on, Ray. I have a rare companion today."
"Oh, my... well, I think I've become a new devil? That's what it looks like. Don't worry, I'm a smart lizard, I won't go on a rampage for no reason."

　When Ray says so, the owner of the stall immediately nods and offers Ray the grilled skewers.

"And how many bottles are there today?"
"Oh, well. For now... I'll ask you before that, this skewer is an oak skewer, right?"
"Yes,"

　Some skewers use lizard man meat, so I asked them just in case.Fortunately, Ray is relieved to learn that the skewers are all oak skewers.

(If Zozo becomes popular, there will be fewer Lizardman's meat dishes...or maybe not?)

　Thinking this way, Ray pays for the skewer and hands one of them to Zozo.
　Zozo takes the skewer and delivers it to his mouth as if it were a treasure.

(If you're with me, you'll have to get used to it.)

　We now eat skewers together, but at dinner last night and breakfast today, we refused to eat at the table with Ray until the end, and Zozo was the only one to eat separately after they finished eating.
　If you don't do something about Zozo's attitude toward Ray, you'll be in trouble.
　In order to explain the situation, Ray headed to the lord's house, hoping that he would learn the words as soon as possible.
