"Well, well... I never expected this to happen all of a sudden in the early morning."

　murmured the knight, looking about him.
　It would have been completely unexpected for a knight.
　However, that doesn't mean we can leave it as it is.
　He was now using potions to treat injuries to green Asians.
　Perhaps because Ray was watching him use the potions, the green Asians were not particularly surprised when they used them.
　What Ray had recovered from the parts he had was severe injuries, so knights, soldiers, adventurers, and others are currently treating him.

"To be honest, I thought so, too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."

　Returning his words to the knight, Ray faints... and sees the lizard man who lost to Zozo.
　Perhaps because Zozo's blow was so powerful, the lizard still doesn't seem to wake up.
　As a monster rank, Zozo was probably the same as Zozo and a similar kind of lizard, but Zozo's ability improved significantly after just a few days of training.
　However, it is not that he suddenly became stronger or faster, but that he experienced a mock battle against a strong enemy.
　That's all, but the difference has been marked in this battle.

"For the time being, he seems to obey Zozo now, so you don't seem to be so worried about him?"
"Now,"

　At the Knight's words, Ray once again looks at the stunned Lizzardman and opens his mouth.

"But they used to follow this lizard man. Now that he's unconscious, he's following Zozo's orders, but when he says he'll be the same after he wakes up... I think it's a little difficult."
"That's..."

　Following Ray's gaze, the knight sees both the fainting lizard and Zozo in turn.
　What if this lizard wakes up?
　Neither Ray nor Knight knows about it.
　If you understand it, it's probably just chills, but the chills can't speak yet speak.

"Would you rather kill this Lizardman?"

　The knight's words are joking, but you can see some seriousness in the emotions in his eyes.
　Ray, too, feels like he's going to be in trouble under the circumstances where this lizard is alive, but he still can't agree that he's going to kill him.
　If we had killed the lizard here, we could have lost even the friendly attitude of the Green Asians.
　If so, we still need to do something about keeping the lizard up and following us after waking up.
　However, if you ask me to obey you like Zozo, even Ray can't nod.
　I'm not going to increase the number of people like Zozo, let alone Zozo.
　At this rate, there could be a significant increase in the number of lizard men willing to follow Ray like Zozo in the future.
　Ray couldn't possibly have done that.
　In the first place, Zozo is still staying at Marina's house, not at the Wheat House at dusk.
　Originally, Zozo should rest in the stable of the Wheat House at dusk, but Zozo, who is conscious of serving Ray, cannot tolerate it.
　As a result, Ray sleeps in a courtyard-facing room in Marina's house, while Zozo waits in a courtyard or corridor just outside the room.
　Then there was Ray's question as to whether he could sleep, but at least as far as he is doing now, there is no sign that he is sleep deprived.

"You had better stop it. If you lose to Zozo for now, I think ... you're going to be following Zozo, so you'd better wait and see what happens there."

　Considering that Ray would have obeyed him if he had knocked him down, I thought... well, maybe really, maybe, lizard men who had been knocked down.

(Well, if it's not the individual who has that kind of personality... nature?)

　That's how Ray continues his words.

"You don't have to go out of your way to kill me if you don't obey me. If you don't obey me... maybe someone else needs to fight the lizard and try it out. If that doesn't work... I won't stop any more."

　I don't know if Ray's words were convincing or if he decided it would only be troublesome to kill here, but the knight doesn't say it's better to kill a lizard who fainted any more.

"If Ray says so, you can follow his opinion. ... The adventurer Ray will know more about these things."

　As a knight, he sometimes fights with monsters, but he is trained to fight with humans.
　...however, being a knight of Gilm in the frontier, it was undoubtedly necessary to fight monsters with adventurers if they were to be stomped.

"For the time being, if you have so many cabs, you'll need them. Why don't you get them ready?"
"I've already got the adventurer on my horse. I'm sure he'll decide and send me a carriage, so now I have to wait."

　Ray nods to the knight's words.
　It's a quick move, but if metastasis has been happening for days in a row, you'll naturally get used to it.
　That being said, there are some people who can't do it.

"Then we will disarm the Lizardmen as we have done before."

　When Zozo came and those who followed him had confiscated their equipment from the bloody lizard men.
　Zozo alone has shown a willingness to obey Ray, and is allowed to arm himself because he is clearly superior to the rest of the lizard men.
　No, maybe most importantly because Zozo is supposed to be Ray's Timmonster.
　As long as Zozo is a Taimmonster, if Zozo causes any uproar on his own in the city, Ray will have to take responsibility.
　In other words, Ray had a duty to stop Zozo from causing any problems.

(Huh? Is the battle actually pretty bad? But it's not inside the guillem. It's probably okay.)

　I'm going to force myself to say so, though it's a little unreasonable.

"Ray? What's wrong? Are you going to disarm the lizard men?"

　Ray was wondering whether the battle of Zozo was OK, but he nodded back to himself in the words of the knight.

"Well... Zoozoo, will you tell the lizard over there to put your weapons and armor on the ground?"

　By making several gestures as he says so, Ray makes his point across.
　Zozo then understands what Ray wants to do and orders the lizards.
　Normally, they would prefer the command of the stunned Lizardman to the command of Zozo, but unfortunately, they are not in a state where they can pass out and command.
　As a result, each of the lizardmen disarms according to Zozo's orders.
　Ray, of course, picks up the weapons and protective gear and stores them one after another in a mistling.

"Well, there's no danger to the lizardmen, for now, and they'll just have to wait until the cab comes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　The knight thinks a little about the words.
　As far as we can see, the lizardmen are not particularly likely to defy.
　They have also been demilitarized, so it won't be too hard to catch a riot for any reason.
　Then Ray's words were convincing.
　Ray has been told by his bosses to actually cut as many trees as possible.
　Then it would never be the wrong choice to let the woodcutters work here.

"Yes, but the metastasized lizard is not the only one here. We need to keep a tight guard."
"Oh, I've brought a lot of bodyguards here since there was a case from yesterday. I don't think it's a problem if you're dealing with an ordinary lizard."

　Yesterday, while Ray and Sett were in Gilm, there were new lizardmen who had metastasized.
　Fortunately, the first woodcutters in contact with the lizards screamed, and Ray was able to run.
　If it were not for Ray, there was no doubt that the Lizzardman would have been fighting against the adventurers who had been in charge of guarding the woodcutters.
　In fact, Ray was in an explosive situation when he came to the situation was a touch‐and‐go situation.
　So far, only Seto can sense the signs of metastasis.Ray can also feel a little uncomfortable, but it's not clear whether it's metastasis.
　That's why there were many skilled guards today, hoping that they would be able to protect the woodcutters well in case something should happen.

(If possible, it would be best not to fight against the Lizard Man.)

　If even once a lizard fights, there will always be people who recognize their opponents as enemies.
　The Lizardman's side also had a good chance of recognizing the inhabitants of Gilm as enemies.
　In that case, it is undoubtedly the best option to prevent a war from happening in the future.
　Nevertheless, I can't possibly say that if you're attacked by a lizard, don't fight back.
　That wouldn't be the case if there was a zozo trying to keep Ray out of harm's way.

"Bring me the woodcutters! Don't forget to tell me that there is a Lizardman here!"
"Yes!"

　One of the soldiers runs away at the word of the knight.
　Watching her back, Ray wonders what to do next.
　With Zozo there will be no raging of the lizardmen.
　But Lizzardman is strictly following Zozo, not Ray.
　It was more than likely that Lizardman would attack Ray in the event of an unexpected event.

(I wouldn't think such a stupid thing if Sett were there)

　Naturally, Lizardman will understand Set's strength instinctively.
　I knew there was such a difference in strength, but I didn't think I'd make such a rash attack.
　However, that's not the case.
　This lizard is likely to be a national soldier.
　That being the case, he might not have run away on instinct just because he was dealing with a strong opponent.
　In fact, many soldiers of the Kingdom of Mileana, if ordered by their superiors, would not flee against a strong enemy.
　Some of them may escape by overwhelming force.

"First of all, these lizards will follow Zozo's instructions, and there's a case of Zozo's fallen lizard, so I'll have to take them back to Gilm."
"That will happen. I'm sorry, but please."

　With Zozo on his way, Ray, of course, had to go with him.
　If Ray had told me to go only to Zozo... he was basically absolutely obedient to Ray's orders, but I wouldn't have allowed him to leave.
　Also, there is no doubt that there should be someone who is used to communicating with Zozo to some extent.
　With that in mind, there is still no option for Ray not to return to Gillum.
　Ray was reluctant to go back to Guillum, who had just come out.
　Also, at this time, the front gate must still be quite crowded, so I didn't want to be too conspicuous.

"Well, it's true that I have no choice but to do it. ... I should have brought Elena."

　Zozo follows Ray, but at the same time he is in great awe of Elena and Yero.
　That's enough to give instructions to Zozo even without Ray.
　Nevertheless, as long as there was no point in thinking about someone who was not here now, Ray decided to return to Gilm, though he was a little reluctant.
　... after the cab came.
