Luckily for the Lays, none of them had metastasized that day.
　The most dangerous thing of the day was the trouble with the woodcutters and the adventurers who guarded them in the case of the spreading lizard.
　The lizardmen, too, eventually grew quiet following Zozo, which means that while Ray was a little busy, there wasn't that much trouble.
　I had spent the day preparing and eating dinner in Marina's garden as usual."

"Yes, I didn't think Zozo liked fish this much."

　Zozo was happily eating fish baked in Ray's magic kiln, which was also quite a size fish.
　Regardless of the first time we met, it's a little surprising to see Zozo, who now has a taciturn personality, eating fish happily like this.
　It's not just Ray, it's probably the same for the rest of course.
　Everyone but Bune has a curious look at her.
　...and Bune, who is looking at Zozo differently from others, is envious of the big fish that Zozo is eating.

「●●●！」

　It was obvious from his happy appearance that he was saying something was delicious.
　I'd like to think that there's very little in this situation that you're feeling bad about it.

"Is Lizard Man actually a fish lover?"

　So Ray asked Marina, who has lived the longest of all, has experience as an adventurer and a guildmaster, and has deep knowledge.
　But Marina shakes her head in disarray at Ray's words.

"No, that's not necessarily the case. In the first place, some lizardmen live in deserts where there are no fish."
"Oh, come to think of it,"

　Ray nods to Marina's words, saying that there was such a lizard.
　A lizard living in the desert has no chance to eat fish.
　No, or there may be fish in the oasis, but that's not so much either.

"Then it's not the whole Lizardman who likes fish, it's the Zoo thing."

　With that in mind, Ray may be fond of fish if he's a lizard from a different world.

(if this is not Zozo's peculiarity, but the preference of a different world lizard, perhaps we should inform Mr. Dusker.)

　There are now quite a few lizardmen in the lord's residence.
　Green Asians eat to grow plants and do not consume food.
　But, as you can see in Zozo, Lizzardman needs food.
　If so, it would be more useful to serve the Lizardmen's favorite food as a meal in the sense that it would reduce their stress.

"I don't know if Lizardman likes fish or not, but I'm sure Zozo likes fish. ... Then, was it good that he went to the beach last summer?"

　Ray's present mistling still has a large amount of fish in it.
　Some of the fish were caught in the river, but most of them were caught when we went to the sea last summer.
　If I hadn't been to the sea last year...or had I eaten most of the fish in the mistling, Zozo wouldn't have found his favorite fish.
　In that sense, Zozo should have thanked Ray and his friends. ... But Zozo was very grateful to Ray and Elena. ... No, he was in awe.

(Fish? It's still cold in spring now, but maybe we can go to the beach when it's a little closer to summer. ... We don't know if Zozo can swim until we actually go to the beach.)

　Watching Zozo happily eating fish, Ray wants to go to the beach when the extension work settles down a little.
　However, it was also true that Ray and his colleagues could not carelessly leave the guillem, given the current situation in which Lorornola and Zozo were metastasizing.
　Lorornola and other green Asians have friendly personalities, so they don't have much trouble coming into contact with each other.
　But the lizard man is different.
　As far as Ray is concerned, he is basically belligerent.
　Even so, they do not act like reckless violence because of the superiority of the lizard men.
　Nevertheless, it is only natural for Ray to insist that Zozo go with him when he goes to the sea, and it is unlikely that he will be the only one left in Gilm.
　If a lizard comes along at such a time, it will undoubtedly be a big deal.
　That's why Ray couldn't act as if he had left the guillem carelessly.

(He has the same strength or dignity as Zozo, but he is still friendly... even if he follows the other person, if he is not as polite as Zozo, he may be OK with leaving him in Guillem, but it will be difficult.)

　The lizard has metastasized twice.
　However, in the second transition, there was no clear superiority to a normal lizard like Zozo.
　Is Zozo valuable in his own way, or is there another reason?
　As long as I don't understand the language, the circumstances around that area are still unclear.
　Even so, I understand that there are few Zozo-like beings, so if I ask if a Zozo-like lizard will appear in the metastasis after tomorrow, I can't nod clearly.

"Really, I wonder what kind of position you are in."

　Ray mutters as he looks at Zozo eating grilled fish deliciously.
　Zozo looks at Ray like, "Did you feel Ray's gaze like that's what happened.
　I don't understand Ray's words, but somehow I can understand Ray's will.
　But Ray shakes his head for nothing and returns to his meal.
　On the table, a large amount of sandwiches are on the table.
　That would be worth a few dozen people.
　Sandwich, over time, hardens the bread and deteriorates the ingredients in the sandwich.
　It depends on the ingredients you're holding it on, but if you toast it in a magic pot, it'll taste good to some extent.
　Under normal circumstances, even with all these sandwiches, you'd never finish them all.
　But the Reys were different in many ways.
　Like Ray and Bune, they have all kinds of big eaters that don't suit their bodies, and that's how much you can eat with Seto.
　Also, if you leave it tomorrow, you don't have to dry the bread because of Ray's mistling.
　Ray opens his mouth, carrying such sandwiches to his mouth.

"And we went to the forest of Trento today, almost all of us. What shall we shall-morrow?"

　Will you go to the forest of Trent?
　In that sense, it was Vichela who first spoke to Ray's words.

"I'll stop,"
"... unexpected. I thought it was going to the forest of Trent every day because it was about Vihela."

　nod to Ray's words in agreement with others.
　Only Zozo tasted grilled fish.
　For those here, it's like common sense that Vihela likes to fight against strong opponents.
　It was only natural for such a Vihela to question why she did not go to the forest of Trent.
　But Vichela caresses Bune's head, who is eating next to her.

"You can't leave her alone every day, let alone today."
"Oh, yes. I guess so."

　Bune is skilled enough to be old enough for a thief and has great fighting power.
　However, it is true that Vichela is the only one who can understand Bune's will in detail because of her appearance.
　In that sense, there was no doubt that Vihela and Bune should be paired together.

"And as far as I've seen today, Zozo is quite strong among the lizards, so I think we can fight Zozo in the morning mock battle, and we shouldn't leave Bune alone and go to the forest of Trent."

　The words are probably due to the fact that we fought so hard in this morning's mock battle.
　That said, Zozo is certain to have a lot of strength among the lizardmen, but if you beat Vihela, you'll win... or even fight well, there's a big difference in ability.
　In that sense, the existence of a lizardman may have been of little interest to Vichela.
　Of course, if there were some of the top or rare species of lizard man, Vihela could have eaten again.

"Yes,"

　Viehla muttered, as usual, in silence.
　Still, I think the reason why she seemed happy was because she had a long relationship with Bune.

(If I continue to have a longer relationship with Bune, will I be able to fully understand Bune's point like Vichela?)

　That's how Ray thinks, but even if he somehow gets along with Bune, he doesn't seem to understand his will completely like Viehra.
　Vichela was with Bune when she was in her most difficult time.This has influenced Viehna and Viehne is most attached to Viehla.


"Then Vichela and Bune are touring Guillum. ... What about Marina?"
"Well, I took a break today, and I wonder if I'm going to treat the injured."

　Marina, who can use spirit magic, can use restoration magic through water spirit magic.
　Of course, it was inferior to his professional recovery magic, but he could still treat some injuries.

"Well, then, Elena,"
"I'm, you know. Arra, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
"Yes, some nobles would like to see me, but it's not such an urgent matter, so I don't think it's a problem to refuse."
"Is it a meeting with a nobleman? Is this the case?"
"Perhaps so. It may not be in name, but I think it was because I knew that Mr. Elena had gone to the forest of Trent today."

　Elena nods convincingly to Arra's words.
　It is well known that Elena is close to Ray.
　And if you know a little bit of information about this case, it's safe to say that some people are trying to get information from it.
　Of course, if you are involved in this matter as a peer, the information that Elena has is sufficient.
　However, it is only natural that many aristocrats who belong to the aristocratic group choose the latter when asked whether they place more importance on the interests of the faction or on the interests of their own families.
　...unless you put too much emphasis on the interests of your own family and cause a great loss to the factions.
　Those who want to see Elena may also want information about the area.

"Well, it doesn't taste good to give too much information, but it doesn't taste good to give too much information. ... I can't help it. Ray, I don't think I'll be able to go to the forest of Trent tomorrow."

　Thus Elena, Marina, and Vihela tell them all that they will not go to the forest of Trent tomorrow.
　Ray really wanted me to come with him in case something happened.
　The Elenas have the ability to trust themselves in the event of something.
　In fact, I was able to return to Gilm from the forest of Trent several times today largely because Elena were in the forest of Trent.
　It was because they thought Elena could do anything if something unexpected happened, and there was no doubt about it.

"You look disappointed, but there are other talented adventurers besides us, so you don't mean that you're hopeless?"
"Well, that's true,"

　Ray replied that way to Marina's words, but it was only natural that she should have someone with a good heart.
　There are actually talented adventurers, knights, soldiers, and so on, but Ray would shake his head immediately when asked if he was as trustworthy as his peers here.
　Some people know each other to some extent, but you can't compare the reliability of the party like this — Elena and Arra are different, but definitely trustworthy in the sense that they shared the battlefield.
　That's why I wanted you to come with me in this case...

(Well, if you look at the matter to-day, you can't force me to do so much.)

　convince oneself that way half forcefully
　...and, by the way, I could not call Grimm again in pairs.
