It's been two days since the zozo spread.
　All but Ray had returned to their work that day, and only Ray, Sett and Zozo headed for the forest of Trent.
　Of course, there are other talented adventurers, knights, and soldiers.
　Yes, Ray has been heading for the forest of Trent since morning, which is unusual today.
　Until now, after some work had been done all over the town, I would have gone to the forest of Trent to put the felled trees in the mistling, but to-day I had come with the woodcutters so that they would be ready to deal with anything in the forest of Trent at once.

"Grunt!"

　Suddenly Seto's throat rings as he sees the forest of Trent.
　With this attitude, Ray, who was riding on Seto's back -- because of Zozo's presence -- suddenly had a bad feeling.
　Sett's eyes are on the forest of Trent.
　If you look at Sett staring at you... and you know what happened yesterday in the forest of Trent, it's easy to predict what's going on there.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going a little further! There's probably a problem in the forest of Trent! Be careful!"

　When Ray screams at the adventurer nearby, he asks Seto to hurry.
　Zozo, walking a little further away from Seto, jumps on his back and behind Ray.
　Even though he didn't understand the language, Ray and Sett's appearance would have made him understand the rush to the forest of Trent.
　Ray shows a little admiration for Zozo's good judgment.
　But now, judging that heading to the forest of Trent should be the first priority, he pats it lightly with the meaning of asking for the back of Sett's neck.
　With Ray's attitude, Seto immediately starts running.
　I was already in sight of the forest of Trent, so I approached him in time.
　As we approach the forest of Trent, we gradually understand why Sett cared about the forest.

(Smell of Blood)

　Though inferior to Seto, Ray still has five senses much sharper than any other human being, he notices the smell of blood drifting from the forest of Trent.

(Who's being attacked? Generally speaking, it's like someone who inadvertently enters the forest of Trent is being attacked by monsters... there's a case of the zozos.)

　In the meantime, Sett runs toward the forest of Trent.
　Then he went into the forest of Trent, where Ray saw...

"Trouble!"

　Ray clapped his tongue because there was a predictable scene there.
　Nearly twenty green Asians gathered in one place, surrounded by a natural lizard.
　The thick smell of blood that drifts comes naturally from the green Asians.
　Having seen a similar scene, I could quickly understand the situation.
　The only difference among them was...

"I see,"

　Beyond Ray's gaze was the presence of a larger body than any other lizard.
　In other words, they are lizard men like Zozo, clearly different from ordinary lizard men, and they are considered rare or superior species.

"Ray ●●, ●●●●●●?"

　Zozo, who was behind Ray, talks to Ray when he sees what seems to be his kind.
　The green Asians and Lizardmen look at the Reyes and are surprised to hear that Zozo's voice is not... but simply that Seto is approaching.
　Was it because there was a set three meters long, or because there was a zozo?
　At any rate, the lizards reveal their vigilance against the newly emerging, apparent strangers Ray and Sett.

「●●●●●！」


　In the midst of this, Lizard Man, who seems to be the same kind as Zozo, exclaims something.
　I didn't understand the meaning of the word, but when I saw the lizard men around me recover from their agitation, I'm sure it was a reprimand.

(For the time being, as far as we can see, these lizard men are definitely belligerent against us. That's going to be a problem if there are lizard men of the same rank as Zozo.)

　Seeing the new lizard men in front of him, Ray realizes that it is a wish that will never come true, even though he wishes he wouldn't be in trouble.
　This is because the same lizard as Zozo came towards me.
　It's as if we've seen it somewhere.
　But Ray is unsure whether to attack the lizard man approaching them.
　Attacking isn't all that funny.
　But if you defeat a new Lizardman here, he won't say he'll serve you as well as Zozo--though he doesn't understand the language.
　What should we do in this situation to prevent it from happening?
　While hesitating about it, Zozo takes a step forward, wondering if he felt that way.
　That's to block Ray and the approaching lizard man.

「●●●？　●●●●●●！」
「●●、●●●●！？」

　When asked something, Zozo nods and replies without a moment's hesitation.
　The other lizard's face is so big that he breatheshes out loud.
　It's as if you don't understand what you think.

(I think they really understand it like that.)

　In Ray's eyes, the other lizard looks down on him.
　It's as if it's a rehash of Ray's first meeting with Zozo.
　And knowing Ray, of course, allowed Zozo to understand the attitude of the lizard man in front of him.

「●●●●！」

　Zozo strikes at the lizard man in front of him with an angry voice.
　The reason he didn't pull out his long sword was probably because he knew the lizard in front of him was his companion.
　Zozo's fists hit his opponent's lizard in the face and blow him away.
　...as far as Ray could see, he was clearly better at beating Zozo than he was yesterday.
　Was it the result of a mock battle against Vihela yesterday and this morning?
　Zozo was unilaterally beaten in a mock match against Vihela due to his differences in ability, but he still had something to gain, and I guess that's the blow.
　The blow was actually sharp, and the lizard was inevitably blown away.
　However, with this blow, we can't take the opponent's fighting power... or give him a blow so strong that he can faint or lose his fighting spirit.

「●●●●●●！」

　The beaten Lizardman, with a cry of frustration and anger, uses his tail force to rise to the ground in an instant, and then immediately hits him.
　Perhaps because Zozo didn't get the weapon, the lizard tried to fight with his bare hands, not with the weapon.
　That's where we started, pure fighting.
　Nevertheless, Zozo always gives his advantage in the battle.
　The first blow worked, and even in just a few days, Zozo is engaged in mock battles against strong men such as Ray and Vihela.
　Even though there was only such a difference, the mock battle with those who were overwhelmingly stronger than Zozo had certainly improved his ability.
　It is also true that Zozo's subservience to Ray is a great confidence.
　In the end, it was Zozo who stood after a few minutes of fighting, and it was his lizard man who fell to the ground.
　Zozo has been beaten and injured to some extent, but as a result he has won well enough to call a landslide victory.

"Good job, Zozo. I want to treat Llorornola's companions, so hold on to the others.

　Although he doesn't seem to understand everything Ray says, Zozo nods understanding what Ray is trying to do due to his personality and looks at the lizard men around him in check.

(Well, if these lizard men act strangely, the others will come soon. And there's Seto.)

　Zozo was fighting the lizard for a few minutes, but if he had enough time, he might be able to reach the people who were heading for the forest of Trent in a horse-drawn carriage.
　I should say that it would be strange if I hadn't arrived at all right.
　We had not yet arrived, though, seeing Ray, since we had taken down the woodcutters and the escorts before we reached the forest of Trent, as far as Trent.
　Anyway, there is nothing particularly wrong with Ray approaching the Green Asians, thanks to Zozo defeating his equal opponents who led the Lizardmen.
　It was obvious from his attitude that Zozo was following Ray, and above all, Seto was on Ray's side.
　Green Asians then stare at Ray approaching them.
　The absence of a color of fear in their gaze was due to Ray's earlier mention of his companion's name, Llorornola.
　As we approach the green Asians, the rustiness of iron drifts out of the forest of Trento thickens.
　No one was fatally wounded, but many were still badly wounded and shed green blood.

(The smell of blood is the same, doesn't it?

　Ray pulls the portion out of the mistling, re-feeling the question he had last felt.I could have waited until the knights came, but now I had better show these green Asians that I was on their side.
　After all, since they are accompanied by the same zozo as the lizard men who had been attacking these green aliens until recently, they might think Ray is their enemy.
　... Zozo's fight might have led him to think he was on his side, but now he had to show clearly that he was on his side.

「●●●？」

　a green subhuman muttering mysteriously at Ray's presentation.
　As did the Lloronola, I guess they still don't know about the potions.
　Grab the arm of the green subhuman nearby, as if to show it to the green subhuman looking at them in doubt.
　The green subhuman was surprised at the sudden grab of his arm, but before he could do anything more than forcefully unravel his hand, Ray puts his portion on the green subhuman wound... probably a wound caused by a long sword.

"What!"

　a green subhuman who screams at Ray's behavior
　It would be impossible to say not to be surprised if you suddenly put a mysterious liquid on your wound.
　Other green subhuman beings who have been watching around also try to act on their peers' voices of their peers.
　Green Asians basically don't fight, but that doesn't mean they don't care what happens to their peers.
　Even if you don't attack Ray, you can do it normally enough to stop him from acting strangely.
　...however, they are not the ones who would normally have considered going against the lizard who had defeated the lizard who had been attacking them.
　However, before actually taking action, a green subhuman wearing a lotion notices an abnormality in his wound.
　The wound will heal quickly.
　It's an unusual feeling for a green subhuman who doesn't know about the existence of a potion.
　Still, the pain is diminishing, so it's only natural that the green Asians who use the potions will be surprised and unable to speak.
　As a matter of course, the other green sub-human beings around us notice it.
　Green Asians trying to stop Ray, they notice the green Asians in the potions and stop moving.
　Then, seeing that the wound was healing, he looked dumbfounded at Ray.
　Ray takes advantage of his opponent's pausing and uses the potions on other green subhuman wounds.
　Naturally the effectiveness is so remarkable because this part is quite high quality.

(Well, he saved the green Asians, and we can get a portion from Mr. Dusker later.)

　Ray thinks this is because he got a replacement from Dusker for one of the first Lorolnouras he actually contacted.
　from the pride of Gilm's lordship... and, above all, from his gratitude for the proper handling of the Green Asians, a portion which is much more effective than the one used for the Lorornola.
　In that sense, there was no need to hesitate to use the potions here... and as a result, by the time the knights and adventurers who came later arrived, the injuries of the green Asians had almost been treated.
