"Oh, wild boar is out. There are quite a few animals in the forest of Trent."

　Dinner time, as usual, at Marina's house.
　Marina questioned how she got it for the boar meat that was served today, and it was her words that came out of her mouth when she said what was happening this morning.
　As a Dark Elf marina, there are still animals in the forest... and it would be a great pleasure if there were more lives.
　Marina has a happy smile, but in contrast to that, Vihela doesn't look very interesting.
　For Vihela, it's a monster that's more powerful than an animal... and that's what I honestly want to see in the frontier.
　Vichela is the only one looking forward to fighting against a strong enemy.

"Well, it was quite a big boar. I could have knocked it down with a single blow."

　Zozo, who was eating a dish of fish steamed with sour sauce instead of boar meat, looks up at Ray's words.
　Ray goes on saying it's nothing.

"You can think that this incident has raised your trust in Zozo."
"I suppose so. He served everybody his own game. ... At least no one has come to dislike the zozos for that matter."

　At Marina's words Ray nods.
　...in fact, Ray didn't do this with that much thought.
　I just wanted to eat a delicious dish made with boar meat for lunch because I'm just a wild boar.
　There is no doubt that the soup and skewer dishes made from internal organs and various parts of meat were quite delicious.
　It's probably just a matter of luck, since it has resulted in increased friendship and favorability toward Zozo.

"Didn't you think that far?"

　Elena, watching Ray, asks Ray with some suspicion.
　Marina, Vihela, Arra... and finally Beune's eyes cast her eyes on him, but she gently looks away.

"Yes!"

　Bune was the first to shout at Ray.
　However, it's not about the Zozo, it's just that I wanted to eat delicious boar food.
　There is still some meat left in the boar, but all the internal organs are consumed in soup.
　Bune must have wanted to try a dish of wild boar guts.
　Ray didn't understand Bune that much, but he knew he was unhappy with the matter, so he gently handed over the dish of roast boar to Bune.

"Yes,"

　With Ray's manner, Bune seemed to be in a slightly better mood -- but his expression remained the same -- and when he received a plate of food, he tasted it firmly.

"Hmm. Ray is no match for Bune, isn't he said.

　Vishela, watching a series of actions, says so with a smile.
　I have no intention of doing so myself, but I guess it's no use looking at me like that.

"Anyhow, can't you detect the tendency to metastasize towards the forest of Trent, or by the magic of spirits?"

　Feeling it would be a delicate story at this rate, Ray changes the subject half-forcefully.

"What? By spirit magic? Um... well..."

　Marina looks a little surprised by Ray's words, but she thinks... and then shakes her head.

"It's probably impossible. In the first place, it's very difficult to guess the metastasis. Moreover, I'm so busy that I can't be in the forest of Trent."
"Then what is the remote control? The spirit magic that protects this house works without marina, doesn'
"Well, Ray, if you're a wizard, you know how difficult it is, right?"
"... my magic and spirit magic are different,"

　Originally, Ray wanted to say that he could only use the magic of fire and that Marina, who uses the magic of spirits, were different.
　But here are Arla and Bune, who don't know Ray's situation.
　As a matter of course, Zozo doesn't know Ray's situation, but Zozo doesn't understand much of the language in the first place, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Well, but if you think about it, don't you know if I can be there or not, and to keep an even longer lookout there... that the Spirit may behave strangely. But why don't you leave someone else as a lookout in the forest of Trent?"
"...if you say so, is that so? But not outside the guillem at night."

　Going out of Gillum at night is suicidal if you are not competent enough.
　Not many monsters appear in the forest of Trent, but that doesn't mean they don't appear at all.
　Given the circumstances, it is difficult to send anyone.

(If that's the case, it's a good idea to have a Vihela.)

　Vichela, who prefers to fight against a strong opponent, will take it with a double answer if asked.
　But when it comes to the forest of Trent at night, there is a feeling that if something happens to Vihela, the Rays will be helpless.
　Vichela likes to fight and is actually strong enough to deserve it, but she is not the strongest.
　If you're dealing with a high-ranked monster or simply an incompatible monster, there's a good chance you'll lose, even if it's Vihela.
　With that in mind, Vichela could not be trusted to look out in the woods of Trent at night.
　In a way, it may mean that he doesn't believe in Vihela's ability, but it's also a recognition that Vihela is one of the most important relatives for Ray.

"What? I'll tell you, I'm not going?"

　Vihela knew what Ray was thinking because he was looking at her, but the words that came out of her mouth were completely unexpected to Ray.

"What? Is it okay?"
"Oh, by any chance, didn't you want me to go?"
"That's not the case, but... I just thought he wanted to go because it was about Vihela."
"Well, I might have done that a little while ago, but lately we've had mock battles every morning, and most importantly..."

　So once Vichela pauses, she carries a flurry of vegetable-filled soup to her mouth.

"Lack of sleep is a big enemy of beauty, right?"
"Yes,"
"Yes,"

　Elena and Marina agree with Vihela's words as if they were right.
　The partnership left no room for Ray to interfere.
　But Ray also knows why Vihela is doing this... of course for whom she cares about beauty.
　There's nothing to be dissatisfied with Vichela's behavior.

"Oh... yes. If you say so, it can't be helped."
"Well, I can't help it."

　At Ray's words, Marina says so with an amusing smile.
　Ray tries to say something to Marina, but Marina changes the subject before Ray opens her mouth.

"There are quite a few adventurers in Gilmoo right now, and there are people who are skilled but should be called freaks, so why don't you rely on them?"

　a good‐natured fellow
　To be exact, he's such a good‐natured man that I should call him a freak.
　Many people say that a skilled adventurer is something unusual.
　In that sense, Ray was still on the average side of the skilled adventurer....at least Ray himself insists so.
　What other adventurers think of it, though, is another story.
　Perhaps there were many people who thought Ray was a freak, and if they were asked if they thought he was a freak, they wouldn't accept it.
　However, some of them are working with the understanding that they are queer.

"That's not something I can judge, and Mr. Dusker and all the other senior officials in Gillum will be thinking about, so you can leave it to them."

　Yes, Ray says.
　If you're actually a Dusker, you probably don't understand that.
　That's why Ray decides he shouldn't poke his nose in strangely, so he puts vegetable-rich soup into his mouth.
　Meat is rarely used in soup, but perhaps because the vegetables are full of sweetness and flavor, the soup has a satisfactory taste.

"If Ray says so, that's fine. ... But when it comes to metastasis every day like this, it's going to be a problem. Considering what's going on so far, it's probably going to be metastatic tomorrow, isn't it?"
"I suppose so. I think that's pretty much right."
"...actually, what do you think is causing the metastasis?"

　Marina's words, not just Ray, but others -- Bune concentrated on cooking and Zozo didn't understand because he didn't understand the language.
　Just once, by some chance... that could be a magical runaway.
　But when it comes to this continuous transition every day, it clearly makes you feel someone's will.
　Nevertheless, considering that the Greens and the Lizardman are spreading together...

(Is anyone metastasizing the Greens in hopes of helping them?)

　In fact, given that so many Green people were attacked by lizards when they had metastasized, Ray seemed to be far from the point.
　That doesn't necessarily agree, however, given that the lizard has spread even in a situation where he hasn't attacked the greens.

"I don't want to think about why it's metastatic, but how it's metastatic. Is it because of the ability of the Greens and the lizardmen, or if there's any reason in the place where the Greens were, or if there's a tool like that... I don't want to think it's because of coincidence or something like that."

　Ray doesn't want to think that it's going to spread by accident.
　In the first place, Ray expects the greens and lizards to be from a different world, not from this world.
　That means that the greens and lizards have accidentally spread to this world.
　If such a coincidence is repeated not only once but many times, it can no longer be called a coincidence.

(Something happened to be inevitable if you repeat it three times.)

　With that in mind, the number of times the lizards have metastasized has already exceeded three.
　There was good reason to be convinced that it was inevitable, not accidental.

"Then, what I can think of is magic... no, is the effect of artifacts?"

　Artifacts mentioned by Vichela are magic items excavated from the remains of ancient magical civilization and dungeons that cannot be made with current technology.
　Ray's pair of obes, for example, is one of them.
　Ray has something excavated from a dungeon.

"Or the effects of the remains themselves, rather than artifacts.

　Marina goes on saying so.
　Marina, who has been an adventurer for a long time and has worked as a guildmaster, must have known such sites.

"Are there any such remains?"
"Yes, but living remains are quite rare."

　That's how the Ray's had a conversation.
　...and pray that this incident is not Grimm's fault.





　After the meal, Ray, Elena, Marina and Vihela were in a previously used room.
　Bune plays with Seto and Yero, and Arla gets her paperwork done.
　Zozo seems to have wanted to act with Ray, but why don't we let him into this room... to be exact, he's waiting in the hallway to prevent him from seeing who he's going to talk to using a pair of oaves.
　For Zozo, the undead Grimm was not exactly what it was like because he couldn't have a conversation.
　If you see Ray talking to Grimm, and you recognize him as your enemy, you're in trouble.

"Grim, can you hear me, Grimm.

　Have you had the same reaction as yesterday?
　As I speak to the pair of oves thinking like that...

"What is it said.

　Suddenly, a pair of obes showed a skeleton that had been familiar to them.
