After handing over the greens and lizards to Dusker, Ray immediately made for the forest of Trent again.
　The faces of the greens and lizardmen who had already been protected by the Duskers seemed reassured by those who had just arrived at the lord's house.
　Nevertheless, the problem here, let alone the Greens, is with the Lizardman.
　Perhaps Zozo should lead the lizard men.
　But Zozo was following Ray and would not have stayed at the lord's house to lead the lizard.
　In that case, the only one left is the lizard man who was knocked down by a chill.
　That said, the lizard is not very friendly to the greens and the inhabitants of Gillum.
　As a result, the tied lizard was kept in a dungeon in disarmed condition.

"Well, isn't that all right with the result?"

　The adventurer, who remains in the forest of Trent, replies so when he hears Ray's explanation.
　Ray was worried about the possibility of new greens and lizards in the forest of Trent while they were away, but fortunately it didn't spread again.
　However, as long as it was not Seto who could sense the signs of metastasis, there was a good chance that it had spread somewhere in the forest of Trent, and that they had not yet met as they had yesterday.

"Really? Frankly, I think that the bound lizard will cause a lot of trouble in the future. ... He didn't seem to obey Zozo even if he lost."

　Zozo is following Ray, who beat him.
　Then I thought maybe the lizard would follow him... but unfortunately, there was no such thing at all.
　Was this a characteristic of Zozo alone, or is it okay to lose to someone of his own kind, or is it for any other reason?
　Ray didn't know about it, but it's true that the lizard is still a nuisance.

"It would have been best if Zozo could have followed him."

　As Ray muttered, Zozo, who was watching the surroundings nearby, looked at him.
　And Ray shook his head saying it was nothing, and thought again about the current situation in Gilm.
　It's still a matter of course.
　But it's only a matter of now.
　And one of the biggest reasons for this is that Ray and Sett still exist.
　So what would happen if Ray were gone?
　Of course, if it's just strength, Gilm has quite a few.
　But it was Ray who was able to treat the greens in a friendly way.
　...if you ask me if I could never have had a friendly relationship with the Llornors without Ray, I'd say no.
　Still, Ray was actually friendly with the Lorolnola, and he was able to follow Zozo, who was perhaps a higher or rare species of lizard man.
　When asked if others could do the same, the majority would say they could.
　That's why it's not so easy to find a replacement for Ray, and if the greens and lizards continue to spread like this, Ray can't leave here.

(Isn't it impossible, after all, for Guillum alone, to deal with this matter, let alone with the opposing King's faction, that, since Elena is here, we should at least seek the help of the same neutral faction as Mr. Dusker?"

　Thinking so, Ray caresses Seto's head, which he had rubbed against with carelessly.
　An adventurer who sees such a scene up close is once again surprised by Ray's physical ability.
　Even though Seto, who is more than three meters long, is rubbing against him, Ray is quite unshakable.
　For Ray, it's mainly because he's used to it.

"Grull".
"Now that I know it. Is there anything strange about it?"
"Gruly!"

　Say, "It's all right!" Seto exclaims at Ray's words.
　The adventurer nods admiringly at the sight of one of them.

"You guys are amazing when you look at it again."
"Really? This is normal for me."

　Ray's remark that this is normal is from his heartfelt.
　But that's why adventurers who understand it look at it with a mixture of admiration and stupidity.

"That's normal, I think, at that point, a lot of things are wrong. ... Well, that's fine. You're doing a good job, so I have no complaints."
"If you will do so, it will be helpful."

　Although it's gone by now in Gilm, some people still judge Ray only by his appearance.
　Except Gilm... that's especially noticeable when you go somewhere you don't know Ray.
　With Sett, there are few--some--but with Ray alone, they are always looked at like that.
　That's why I naturally like the person who says something like the adventurer in front of me... ...because I know Ray is Ray, I know what he's saying.

"Hey, Ray! The number of cut trees has increased a lot, so please gather them!"

　When one of the woodcutters yells at Ray, he leaves the scene, blaming the adventurer he was talking about.

"Sett, just play around here. If there's anything that's going to spread again, just let me know right away."
"Guru..."

　At Ray's words, Seto purrs a little regretfully.
　As Ray, he could have followed him, but even a little... the sooner he could sense his metastasis, the better.
　Only a few seconds can be fatal because it's a real battle.

"I'm sorry, Seto. Oh... I'll let you eat fried udon again next time."
"Glu".

　Though not entirely convinced, Seto still replies to Ray.
　The yakidon noodles sold at a stand near the place where you take the trees must have been to Seto's taste.
　It's only natural that the noodles are cooked, and the taste is a few steps higher than that of course.

(Wasn't there a topping for fried udon with bonito or green laver? There was red ginger, too.)

　Originally, red ginger would be famous as a garnish for yakisoba.
　However, red ginger was served as a garnish for yakidon noodles made at Ray's house.
　However, as I walked through the forest of Trent with Zozo following me, I wondered how to prepare them.

(You use bonito for katsuobushi, don't you? It looks like you used to boil and dry it on TV when you were in Japan. ... I think you can do this for now. ... I think you'll waste a lot of bonito. But before that, are bonito in this world? ... Well, if you don't have bonito, you can do it with other fish?)

　In fact, katsuobushi requires a lot of work, such as mold, but Ray didn't understand that at all.
　Anyway, I guess he's still as good as he can remember how to make it.
　At least, green nori is only a kind of seaweed because it's called nori.

(For red ginger, should I cut ginger into strips and pickle it in vinegar? No, but since red ginger is a little bit like red ginger, the vinegar was red. Then, is it any special vinegar?)

　As he walks thinking like that, Zozo looks at Ray in wonder.
　He probably didn't know what Ray was thinking.
　But you never thought Ray was thinking about dried bonito, green laver, or red ginger.

"This way, Ray! I'm sorry, but please help me a little! I failed in logging!"

　When he comes back to what the woodcutter called Ray said, he understands why he was called in a hurry.
　Trees that have fallen after being felled are leaning against other nearby trees.
　In this situation, there is no telling when a tree leaning against might lose its balance and fall.
　With that in mind, it's only natural that we want the trees to be done early for safety."You failed,"

　The woodcutter nods bitterly to Ray's words.
　This woodcutter was one of the woodcutters brought in from another village by Ray.
　Because of his skill as a woodcutter, he came all the way to Gilm to work, but he must have had something to think of as a failure to cuttings.
　However, the woodcutters are not cutting trees where they are used to, so it is no wonder that they are not so used to them yet.
　Ray has heard from the woodcutters that the trees in the forest of Trent have quite different characteristics from ordinary trees.
　In that sense, whether it's a tree in the forest or a tree in Trent, it's easy to cut with a death size, so the ray is probably very special.

"I'm sorry. Bring this tree down to the ground so that you don't have any problems around you, and I'll take care of the branches and things like that."

　Following the workman's instructions, Ray stores the felled trees in a mistling from which they lie on the ground.
　Ray could have knocked the tree down to the ground by pushing it or kicking it without putting it in a mistling.
　He judged that if there were any woodcutters or bodyguard adventurers around him, it would be best not to do so in case.
　When the tree is laid on the ground, adventurers and woodcutters immediately cling to it and drop its branches.
　Ray and Zozo are watching such a scene.
　It wasn't that I was doing nothing because I was too lazy to remove the branches, but rather that I was wary of monsters attacking me... and, most importantly, the greens and lizards spreading.
　Perhaps because woodcutters and adventurers are used to cutting branches to some extent, the work itself ends without taking much time.

"Ray, since it's over... What's wrong? Hey, no way..."

　When the woodcutter talks to Ray, he turns his gaze toward the depths of the forest, though he had been listening to it honestly at first.
　After Ray's gaze, the adventurers immediately moved to a position to protect him.

"Don't worry,"

　But that's what Ray said.
　What do you want me to do in this situation?
　The woodcutter thinks so, but the meaning of Ray's words comes to light in the next moment.

"Boomoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

　Suddenly a boar came running from the depths of Trent's forest with a scream.
　Ray is relieved to see such a boar.
　Of course, being a wild boar is not something to be underestimated against.
　For people like woodcutters and hunters who work in the woods, wild boar is something they don't want to encounter if possible.
　What's more, the boar that appeared this time is a fairly large boar that is more than one meter tall.
　Moreover, the boar's mouth has sharp tusks, which are incomparable to the rusty dagger used by the goblins around it.
　If an amateur encounters this boar, he could be fatally wounded.
　There was no doubt that he was a wild boar with such a risk.

"Ray ●●, ●●●●"

　When Ray tries to take out a spear from Mistiling... not a spear from twilight, but a disposable spear that could break at any time, a chill appears in front of him.
　I still don't know what you're talking about. I don't know, but it's easy to imagine what you want to do when you see Zozo holding a long sword out of the sheath.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

　Zozo couldn't understand Ray's words, but he came forward happily, wondering if he understood them somehow because of the nuance.
　Seeing Zozo like that, the boar starts running faster than ever before, with its tusks straight up.
　Ray had seen wild boars in the mountains several times when he was in Japan, but the boar he is looking at now is clearly bigger than the boar he has seen.
　Moreover, his physical abilities are more than Ray knows, and in Japan he could call a hunter to hunt mountains.
　But Zozo, with his long sword in his hand, appears in front of Ray without any sign of fear... running toward the boar.
　Zozo is clearly running faster than before.
　Zozo, who had been in a tight space with the boar, flashed his long sword past him... until the boar rolled on the ground at the same speed and hit a tree and stopped.
