"Well... I know what happened."

　As he returns to the forest of Trent, Ray says about the growing number of green Asians.
　In the first place, there were so many skilled adventurers, knights, and soldiers in the forest of Trent that someone could metastasize again.
　With that in mind, it's safe to say that the green Asians have spread on time in a way.

(Well, I didn't know it was going to spread.)

　From yesterday to today, no one seemed to have metastasized since the zozos had metastasized.
　Thinking about that, Ray didn't expect the Zozo's to be the last to metastasize, and someone else to metastasize after that.
　Of course, that is only an optimistic prediction, which, given the fact that the green subhuman population is spreading, has gone wrong.
　The number of green subhuman has spread to about ten.
　The number is not that high.
　Wondering whether to be happy or sorry about it, Ray looks at the slightly grumpy Vihela.

"And the reason Vichela looked displeased is because it was only Llorornola's companions who had spread?"
"That's right. He must have expected someone as powerful as Zozo."
"Oh, I see. I thought so. But I still don't know who's going to metastasize. I guess there's something I can do about it."

　Elena and Marina, who were listening to Ray's words, nodded.
　But in reality, only green Asians had metastasized, and that probably wasn't interesting for Vihela.

"First of all, the green Asians seem to be afraid of Zozo, but what happened to them? Well, I don't understand how they feel when they think they were attacked by the lizard men."
"That's true. But considering Zozo wasn't so overbearing, I don't think he's that scared, either. ... It's a big thing that he can't understand the language."
"Well, I mean, if the green Asians continue to metastasize, do we have to make them all learn the language.

　troublesome
　That's what Ray said, but for those who have actually metastasized, there's no doubt that's very important.
　The destination of the metastasis was a situation where they could not communicate with each other, and there was Zozo attacking them.
　Moreover, there are adventurers, knights and soldiers around Zozo, and there is no denying the possibility that they are his companions and at the same time their enemies.

"Well, it depends on luck. ... How about Zozo, who left him behind?"

　Zozo, who wanted to be with Ray, insisted that he wanted to go with him to bring the felled tree, but it was rejected.
　Moreover, given the new transition of the green subhuman population, it is of concern to Ray whether Zozo has been quiet.
　though it was evident that, though the green Asians had gathered in one place, they were not particularly injured.

「●●●●」

　Feeling Ray's gaze, Zozo bows to Ray, saying something.
　The green Asians looked surprised at Zozo's attitude, but Ray nodded without any particular concern.

"I'm sorry to leave you behind, and thank you for calming them down."

　Ray told Zozo that, but he didn't understand the language as a matter of course.
　But, as with gestures, I bow again to see if I understand what Ray is saying in the nuance of his words.
　Although Zozo showed that he didn't care about that much, green Asians were surprised to see such a thing.

(As far as I can see, it's not because I'm a lizard, but because I'm scared because I'm a lizard, but because I'm afraid because I'm a lizard, I'm surprised.)

　Judging from the appearance of the green Asians, Ray looks towards the marina.

"And how could you carry those green Asians to Gillum?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. One adventurer rode a horse to let Gillum know about it."
"...if I had come back a little earlier, I could have gone to Gilmoo. Or would I go back to Gilmoo now?"

　Originally, we have horses available today other than towing a carriage so that Gillum can be informed of something as soon as possible.
　Guillum must have been informed by using one of these horses... of course it's faster for Seto to fly.
　If that's the case, I think it's better for me to head for Gilm. now.
　Ray asks, but Marina shakes her head in denial.

"You don't have to go that far. Ray was transferred not long after he left for Gillum, and then he went to Gillum to inform her, so she could have arrived in Gillum already. Then she'd be crossing the line now..."

　Marina, who had gone so far, paused, looked at Zozo, and then looked at Ray again.
　Unspoken, Ray understands what Marina means.
　I thought that if Ray disappeared here, he would definitely be affected.

"Yes, for the time being, I'm going to be quiet here, so..."

　Ray was about to say something, but before that he heard a tree falling down in the depths of the Trent forest and stopped speaking.

"Is the woodcutter continuing to work in this situation? Is this praiseworthy or dumbfounded? Which do you think?"
"Shouldn't that be complimented? Even though there's not enough wood in the extension work, it ended early yesterday, and I think it's only natural for us to try to cut down a lot of trees today."

　Marina's words make many people nod.
　Ray can't help nodding to Marina's words.

"If you say so, yes. Would I rather cut down the trees?"

　The woodcutters only cut down a single tree by hammering it against the tree many times, using the axe of their work tools.
　But in Ray's case, a flash of death size is enough to cut down trees.
　In terms of efficiency, Ray clearly outperformed him.
　Nevertheless, Ray does not cut down trees because he takes away the work of a woodcutter if he cuts down trees, and at the same time Ray has a variety of other jobs besides cutting down trees.
　However, in the current situation where there are not enough trees to use as building materials, I think it would be better to cut down trees by myself until they become stable to some extent. But...

"Shouldn't it be stopped? I'm still a little confused right now, but I don't think there'll be any problems with cutting down trees, as the woodcutters that Ray brought along are getting used to themselves.

　Vichela, who was listening to Ray and Marina, denies such an opinion.

"Is that so?"

　Ray muttered, but soon some trees fell together as if to prove Vihela's words.

"...I hear so,"

　I didn't wonder if she was aiming at it too often, but as far as Vihela is concerned, there's no sign that the trick was successful.
　If so, I'll take it for granted that it's really just a coincidence.

"But are these trees different from the other trees?"
"What did Ray think?"
"I didn't feel anything different... but it's death-size."
"Ah..."

　Rey nods convincingly to everyone who knows the performance of death size, let alone the Vihela he was listening to.
　In fact, the death size is only available for Ray -- it's OK to have Seto -- but its performance is as bad as it is.
　Because you can cut trees that are growing without magic at once.
　Other than that, it has a variety of special abilities, and is one of the proofs of Ray's strength along with his spear in twilight.

"I mean, frankly, the Elenas could do it rather than cut down trees?"
"Huh? Well, yes. I'm sure I can do it."Elena, the notorious successor to the magical stone of the Ensent Dragon, nods easily to Ray's words.
　Other than that, Marina, perhaps the highest spirits wizard in the world, let alone in this country, could cut down trees with spirit magic, and Vihela has the back of a magic item that produces claws made of magic and magic.
　Given their capabilities, cutting down trees in Trent's forest should not have been so difficult.
　However, in some cases it may be a means of crushing the trunk of a tree rather than cutting it down.

"●●●●? Ray●●"

　Zozo, who had been listening to Ray and his friends, talks to me like that.
　Most of the words were incomprehensible to Ray, but I still understood that Ray's name was included.

"Oh, yes. I'm talking about... whether we can cut down trees."

　As he says so, Ray points to the trunk of a tree growing a little further away.
　You may not have understood what Ray was talking about, but Zozo approaches the tree, knowing that he was talking about trees.
　Look at the tree trunk, look at Ray, and look at the tree trunk again.
　Eventually, Ray doesn't know what he meant and moves his tail mysteriously from side to side.
　Ray didn't think Zozo would understand his words well considering the current situation, but decided that it was a good opportunity to teach him a language and approached Zozo.

"Tree".
"Tree".

　When it comes to words, Zozo immediately utters the word "tree" whether he remembers them in his own way.
　Look at that...

"Well, a tree is not enough. It's not enough."

　mutter, take the death size out of the mistling.

「！？」

　I've already used the item box many times in front of Zozo, but I guess I'm still not used to it.
　Zozo is surprised at the sudden appearance of the death size and retires without thinking.
　The newly metastatic green Asians are also stunned to see Ray suddenly pull out a huge weapon like death size from an empty place.
　As such, Elena, who had been watching Ray's conversation, and Gilm's adventurers, soldiers, and knights looked at him fondly.
　Everyone is surprised when they first see Ray using the item box.
　But Rey is rare...that's why you have only a few item boxes that are currently confirmed, but you don't hide them and use them normally.
　That's why people living in Gilm are naturally accustomed to the existence of item boxes.
　...some people wanted to steal the item box from Ray, but it was obvious how such a person would end up.
　But, irrespective of the surprises around him, Ray looks at Zozo and opens his mouth to make sure he can hear his voice.

"Tree".
"...tree,"

　Again, point to the tree and say the word tree.
　After hearing Zozo say the word tree to meet it, he sets himself up for death.

"I'll cut you down."
"Yes,"
"Ki-ru"
"Yes, sir,"
"Ki-ru"
"Ki-ru"

　Zozo couldn't pronounce it well at first, but Ray managed to say what he was going to do after a few words.

(However, there are many meanings such as cutting, cutting, wearing, and so on. You will need to learn the difference in nuance later.)

　Ray wields his death size, deciding that he should learn about it later.
　Even though it is not particularly intense or magical, a death-size blade cuts a tree with a trunk that is thick enough to prevent both hands from sticking to the trunk of the tree by itself.
　The trajectory at the time of the death-sized movement also directed the direction of the tree's fall toward the empty side, and those who watched it were able to watch it fall with peace of mind.

"Cutting a tree"

　Ray repeated the remark as he turned to Zozo with a look of surprise.
