The place where Ray and his men came along with Dusker and other men was a large hall for a large party in the lord's mansion.
　There are now green people and lizardmen living together.
　The lizard men who originally oppressed the greens and the greens who were oppressed.
　Generally speaking, the communal life is unlikely to work out.
　But in reality, the life was going better than I expected.
　The greens are basically gentle and don't pretend to be resentful of the lizard men who oppressed them.
　The lizardmen were also prohibited from harming the greens by orders from Zozo.
　Zaza, Zozo's older brother, might have ignored Zozo's orders, led the other lizardmen to attack the Greens, and even attacked the Daskers.
　But Zaza, who was beaten by Zozo and tied up with ropes, is now in prison.
　I knew he was on par with Zozo, so the rope was released now, but... fortunately, I didn't act like I was losing to Zozo, or I was just waiting for an opportunity.
　That's why there's a strangely peaceful time going on in the big hall, and the greens and lizards were studying the language and letters of the world.
　That's where the Reys came in, so there's no wonder the lecturers, the greens, the lizardmen, and so on.

"What on earth are you here to do, Dusker?"

　It was one of the men who was the most surprised and yet came back to life.
　The oldest lecturer... the man in his fifties has known Dusker for quite some time.
　That's probably why Dusker was quick to respond to his bizarre behavior.

"No, Ray's teacher prepared a magic item that would help me with this case. After using it, I was able to communicate with Zozo."
"O"

　Everyone here as a lecturer exclaims at Dusker's words, then turns to Ray and finally to Zozo.
　Then, as a matter of course, you look at the slate in Zozo's hand.

"That slate?"
"Yes. This tablet makes this word so understandable to us and so, "It makes this word so understandable to us."

　The instructors all shout joyfully at Dusker's words.
　The instructors are here to teach language and letters, but many of them are purely Dusker's subordinates.
　...there are also tutors here who teach the children of aristocrats and merchants, but the meaning of teaching letters to children is still different from teaching words and letters to greens and lizardmen.
　Particularly big was that when teaching, children already remember the language, but the greens and lizards had to learn from the language.
　What's more, they're the first green race I've ever seen, or the lizard man who's usually treated as a monster.
　As a matter of course, even the teachers are confused.

"Well, Mr. Dusker, can I give it a try right away? I think I'll make a lot of progress with that slate. Because most of them are groping now."
"Wait. I came here because I had something to check before. This magic item is the first person to use... in this case, it's chilling, but only that chilling."
"What? But it's letters, isn't it? Then even people other than Zozo can read it normally, can't they?"
"Oh, I agree. That's why I came here."

　The man who was talking to Dusker soon understands why he came here.
　In other words, they probably wanted to experiment with whether it was true or not.

"All right, then, please."

　As he said so, the man looked a little prayerful.
　They probably want the slate to work for others, if possible.
　It's also difficult to learn letters and languages unless you can communicate with them.
　But here we are struggling at the stage of communication.
　If there is an easy way to communicate, we can't help but look forward to it.
　Dusker has received reports that he is having a hard time teaching words and letters, so when he nods, he turns to Ray.

"Ray, please."
"All right, sir,"

　As soon as he calls out to Zozo who holds the tablet, Zozo nods and looks at the tablet.

"If you understand my words, raise your right hand."

　Zozo simply raises his right hand.

"O"

　Witnesses are amazed at Ray's well-understood words.

"It's like this. ... Then, Ray, tell me to give the slate to someone else. Well, Llornola is a good idea."

　The reason why Lorolnola's name came out of Dusker's mouth here is probably because Lorolnola represents the Greens.
　The reason was that he first came into contact with Ray, but Lorornola himself did not seem to be reluctant to be treated as a representative, so far there is no particular problem.
　Ray didn't understand why he didn't tell the lizard to give it to him.

"Give it to Lorolnola, Zozo,"

　Understanding what Ray is saying in lithographic letters, Zozo approaches Lorornola, who is a little further away.
　Strangely enough, Lorornola and the rest of the green subhuman population have not seemed to be wary of the approaching zozo.
　even though the lizards were left with sufficient injuries to be considered serious enough.
　Is this because of his nature as a green man, including Llornola, or simply because Zozo follows Ray?
　Ray didn't know what was going on in that area, but there was no doubt that it would be easy without trouble.
　Zozo is still teaching Llornola how to use the tablet in words that Ray can hardly understand.
　But, of course, there was a conversation between Zozo and Lorornola, who, with the tablet in hand, looked at Ray.
　If you wanted to check the effectiveness of the slate, it wouldn't have to be Ray.
　But for Lorornola, Ray was the right man for him.
　Understanding it, Ray nods a little before he opens his mouth.

"If you understand my words, move one step sideways."

　As Ray says, the letters appear on the slate, but when Llornola sees them, he simply tilts his head.
　Not only Ray, who was watching it, but also the others looked at Llornola in wonder.
　Ray also wondered, and as he approached Llornola, he saw the slate he had.
　Ray doesn't understand exactly what's displayed there.
　Even so, I understood that Zozo was similar to the letters displayed when he was using a lithograph.
　In other words, even Lorornola, who uses the same characters and words as Zozo, cannot read them.
　Nevertheless, Lloronola has an expression on her face that she can't read at all.
　It's not a lie, it's obvious from the other lorol nola's... and the lizard-men who are gathering.

"Trembling."

　Ray announces briefly.
　Now that Zozo knows that Ray has read his name, he takes a look at it from Llorornola and opens his mouth, and the words appear on the slate in writing.

'It seems that only I can read this letter. If you understand Mr. Ray's words, it says to move one step sideways.'
"... I see,"

　Ray's tone of voice is as good as it should be.
　I had heard from Grimm that only one person could use it, so this development should have been expected.

"Is it true that those letters are used by the Zozo?"
'Yes, I'm sure it's the letters used by the Greens.'
"In other words, even though they are the same characters, only Zozo can read them... I didn't think this was what my teacher said that only the first-time user could use them."

　In Rey's words, Elena, Marina, and Vihela... those who know Grimm look satisfied, others look disappointed, and that's the expression of deep regret.Llorornola is the only one I've tried, but I've tried it this way and it's not working for anyone but Zozo.
　Given that, it was easy to predict that it would probably be useless for others to use.

"This is... in a way as expected."

　Dusker also breathes heavily at the conversation that took place in front of him.
　If we could use the slate other than Zozo, we would certainly have made dramatic progress in the study going on here.

"Did you say that, Dusker? If possible, I'd like to borrow that lizard man."

　The instructor, who had been talking to Dusker earlier, says so, but Dusker shakes his head without a moment's hesitation.
　It was obvious that Zozo was loyal to Ray and decided to be on his side.
　If you tell Zozo to stay here in this situation, he will certainly not accept it.
　If Ray orders it, or... if he imitates it, Zozo is definitely dissatisfied with Dusker.
　Looking back on the future, I didn't want to make the relationship with Zozo, the prince of the Gran Dragonian Empire, as bad as possible.
　Moreover, his relationship with Zaza, Zozo's brother, is already close to the worst.
　I don't want to offend Zozo in such a situation.
　If you insist on keeping Zozo here, that's why Ray, who Zozo serves, needs to stay here too.
　However, if greens and lizards frequently move to the forest of Trent, Ray, who can ride the set at high speed, should stay in the forest of Trent as much as possible.
　It was also significant that Zozo was able to make Lizzardman obey unconditionally -- except when there was someone like Zaza.
　There are other high-ranking adventurers sent to the forest of Trent, so there's nothing that can't be done about it, but with and without Zozo, the damage to the lizard is... and most importantly, the feeling is different.

"No. Zozo is following Ray. That being the case, I can't give orders for his own convenience."
'Well, Mr. Ray, who beat me, has become my Lord. My heart is, Mr. Ray... and Mr. Elena, I don't really want to follow any instructions other than Mr. Yero. Mr. Ray's tribe... No, did you call it a party? Except for those people.'

　The power of the slate probably made sense of what Dusker was saying.
　Zozo talks about something and the words are displayed on the slate to convey Zozo's will to Dasker.
　Watching such a conversation between Zozo and Dusker, Ray has some doubts about the power of the slate.

(The characters on the slate can be read by Zozo, but the translations of Zozo's words could be read by us... anyone in this world. What's the difference? Is it because Zozo is recognized as the user or owner of the slate? Well, there's no doubt that the usage of this slate is irregular.)

　How to use it… If for some reason it was used by someone who couldn't speak, wouldn't it have happened?
　Ray was a little concerned about it, but at any rate, the effect of the slate became clear.

"It hurts that I can only use chills..."
"I know. I won't force you to leave Ray, so don't worry."

　When Dusker hears Ray muttering, he says, assuringly.
　Even for Dusker, he was honest that under the current circumstances he wanted to avoid the impression that Ray and Zozo had a grudge against him.

"Thank you very much. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　Will you stay here to help me with my studies?
　As Ray asks, Dusker tells him to think for a few seconds before going to the forest of Trent.

"With Zozo, I will be able to make progress, but I will not finish my studies just today. Then I'd better ask you to go to the forest of Trent."
"All right, then I'll do that." ... What about the Elenas?"
"I have plans to meet some nobles,"
"I think we need treatment for people injured in the extension work."
"I wonder if you'll be looking around with Bune,"

　That's the end of the matter.
　The instructors were disappointed.
　In addition, Dusker instructed them to search for magic items similar to this tablet.
