2057 Episode 2057



Marina's manipulated water spirits surrounded more than a dozen injured people.
 He that has his arm wounded, has his arm wounded.
 He that is wounded in the leg, is wounded in the leg.
 He that is wounded in the torso, shall be wounded in the torso injured.
 It will be surprising to see that so many places are surrounded by water.
 Despite exercising so much spiritual magic at the same time, Marina talks to Ray without showing any sign of concern.
 And without showing any signs of overdoing it.

"Ah... yes. I came here to talk to you for a moment, but as far as I can see, there seems to be some leeway."
"Well, if it's about this much, I'll do something about it. But it's partly because it's characteristic of spirit magic."
"...is that what it is?"

 They are the same wizards, but the magic of Ray's flame and Marina's spirit are very different.
 That's why Ray only nods convincingly to Marina's words.

"That's what it is. ... So what's your business? You've come all the way here, and there's a reason, isn't there?"
"Oh, actually, it happened a little in the forest of Trent."
"Really? Wait a minute."

 When she tells Ray, Marina asks the Spirit of the Wind to keep her conversation from being heard, and then re-talks.

"So? What happened?"
"Oh, actually, the Lizardman has spread to the forest of Trent again..."

 Marina looks a little doubtful at Ray's words.
 That's what's happened so many times in the past when lizard men spread to the forest of Trent.
 It's like every day.
 Abnormalities, if they continue every day, become everyday, not abnormal.
 The spread of lizardmen and greens in the forest of Trent is already a routine for Ray, as it has not been long since, but it has spread almost every day.
 But why did you come all the way here... to see Marina in person at work?
 Marina couldn't figure it out.

"And?"
"Ah... Actually, Zozo's brother is among the lizard men who have metastasized."
"Are you fighting again?"

 When Marina heard of Zozo's brother, she remembered a lizard named Zaza, who she heard from Ray at dinner.
 The one who unilaterally attacked Zozo without seeming to listen to us, and was eventually killed.
 I hear that he is now locked up in a dungeon in the lord's residence.
 However, it was assumed that he was a member of the Imperial family, and that the dungeon was furnished with furnishings and something to make it as comfortable as possible.

"It was definitely a battle, but unlike in Zaza, it was a mock battle against each other."
"... Ray, how about trying a mock battle against someone you meet for the first time?"
"No, I didn't challenge you. Anyway, Zozo's older brother, Gaga, seems to be the third prince of the Gran Dragonian Empire. So, we had a mock battle to make him promise not to touch the greens as long as he was in Gilm."

 Ray doesn't mention the mock battle, which was a very serious mock battle, since it was not a wooden sword against each other but a weapon with a regular blade.
 I was wondering what Marina would say to me if I would say to Marina.
 Marina is wearing a party dress as usual, but that's why she's so powerful when she gets angry.
 For Ray, who didn't want to have such an experience, I didn't lie at all, so I decided if that's all right.

"Well... and?"

 I don't think I fully believed Ray's words, but for the time being, I'm convinced, and I'm blatantly encouraging him to move on.
 That's not all, is it? Rey nods to Marina, who looks at her.

"Yes. She said she wanted to stay at Marina's house in the same place as Zozo because she couldn't communicate with me and she got along with me."
"...what?"

 The words that Ray uttered seem to have come as a surprise to Marina.
 The atmosphere up until now has changed completely, and they look at me like what I'm saying.
 But when Ray learns from his appearance that it's not a joke, he opens his mouth in confusion.

"I'm sure he's a member of the Imperial family, isn't he? The third prince I mentioned earlier."
"Well, Zozo's brother. By the way, he's about twice as tall as I am."

 Ray was at a loss whether to call the lizard man a person or not, but for now he's more used to it, so he just plays it.

"...times as much as Ray? Is that really a lizard?"
"You're a lizard. By the way, you've been able to fight me fairly seriously in a mock battle. Zozo says you're one of the top five in the Gran Dragonian Empire."
"And quite a bit..."

 Marina didn't say it until the end, but Ray could understand what she meant.
 Characteristic, too strong, too many attributes.
 The latter two determine that Marina probably didn't understand the meaning, but that if she knew what it meant, she would probably agree.

"That's why I'm going to put Gaga up at Marina's. Are you all right?"
"It's all right ... no way. Isn't it twice as big as Ray's that you can't even get into the house in the first place, let alone where you can sleep, like a bed?"
"Oh, so it seems to be all right in Marina's garden."
"...the third prince?"
"The Third Prince,"

 Marina looks dumbfounded at Ray's words.
 Even in a different world, a prince is a prince.
 Considering that he was not just a prince, but a prince of a country as powerful as the kingdom of Mileana, it is natural to think that it is acceptable to make him sleep in the garden.
 But Ray tells such a marina that there is no problem.

"Gaga said it's okay in the garden, so that's all right."
"But doesn't that taste bad?"
According to Zozo, Gaga was originally stronger as a warrior than a prince. That's OK, too.'
"...well, if you're good enough to fight Ray to some extent, you'll understand."

 Marina would have been more surprised if she had been told she had the ability to fight Ray when she was doing combat training in one hand.

"That's why we let her stay in Marina's garden."
"Vihela will be glad,"

 For Vihela, who prefers to fight against strong opponents, Gaga's presence, to some extent, is undoubtedly a delight.
 We have strong opponents like Ray and Elena, and we can fight as much as we want.
 But even though Vichela is a strong opponent and is attractive to Vichela, she gets tired of fighting against the same opponent.
 No matter how delicious the high‐class food is, if you keep eating it every day, you'll get tired of it.
 In that sense, Zozo is definitely a good match for Vihela.Still, it's better to have more strong opponents.

"Well, I guess Gaga also liked fighting, and I don't think she's going to turn down a mock battle with Vihela. ... I'm a little worried that she'll be too absorbed in fighting."
"Well, I think it's all right because it's Vihela, but if it comes to killing the third prince by mistake..."

 Marina stopped talking there, but as long as the Gran Dragonian Empire is a different world, I don't think there's any problem with Gaga.
 However, since I am on good terms with Gaga, I didn't want it to happen if possible.

"For now, if you want to sleep in the garden, you'd better get something to hang up. And... what about your meal?"
"He's Zozo's brother, and I think he usually eats the same food as us. But with that physique, I think he eats quite a bit."

 Ray, who says so, is quite a glutton, contrary to his appearance.
 Bune also eats a lot for her small body, and Seto eats more than the Reys, and usually saves a lot.
 With that in mind, the Rays come to a good deal of money in terms of food expenses.
 However, Ray and others are basically not hard up for money, as long as everyone but Bune is a good adventurer.
 But if you ask me if I can afford to pay for my food, I'm afraid...

"First of all, we need to collect food from Dusker."

 Marina says so.
 It was not a proposal, but a decision, and Ray could predict that Dusker would definitely be charged for his food.

"Ah... yes. Good luck."

 For Ray, there was a feeling that Dusker, do your best, and do your best, but at the same time, Marina's spending on food would make not only Gaga's food but also her own food luxurious.
 Well, it's safe to say that it's very welcome.
 I'm not going to force Marina to stop her behavior, then.

"Yes. Anyway, that's all right with this case. ... Oh, that's about time."

 Marina says so when she's finished talking to Ray.
 Following Marina's gaze, she saw one of the foxes, who had been treated by the magic of the water spirit, smiling happily at her arm.

(Now that you mention it, I'm used to male beasts, too)

 Comics, anime, novels, games I enjoyed while I was in Japan.
 The beasts who came out of them were mostly female beasts.
 Of course there were no male beasts, but... foxes, cats, and in some cases rabbit beasts who came into this world were unfamiliar to Ray.
 I'm used to it now.

"That's all right for now. There's another person waiting for treatment, so if there's nothing else, that's it."
"Oh... but it's strangely crowded today. I've been here a few times before, and I've passed by, but I don't think it's lined up like this."
"Oh, that matter? I heard that the building materials I was loading collapsed. And people underneath and around were injured."
"... isn't that quite a problem?"

 What Marina said was unexpected to Ray.
 There are many adventurers who can react at once to such events;
 But many of them have come to Gilm in search of work, so to speak, laymen.
 If this is a carpenter or any other professional engineer who is invited to do the extension work, he may be able to react to it to some extent at a moment's notice.
 As a result, only amateurs could not immediately react, and many people were injured in this way.
 Still, no one was injured enough to be called a fatal injury, and serious injuries... those who were seriously injured in the real sense were treated preferentially, and what is now standing in line here was not a minor injury, but not a serious injury... such people.
 Ray nods as much as possible after Marina explains such a thing.

"I'm glad there weren't any dead or serious injuries. Then staying here will only get in the way, and I'll be back soon."
"I don't mind Ray's presence,"

 Marina responds to Ray's words.
 In fact, the words would never be wrong, as he was talking to Ray and treating him by the magic of the spirit of water spirits.
 However, as a healer, it was only natural for some to feel uneasy when they saw Marina talking to Ray when she was being treated.
 The person you're treating is talking to Ray without paying attention to them.
 The reason why she still didn't complain is probably because she knows how extraordinary Marina's magical powers are.
 If you've been in Gilmoo for a long time, it's natural.
 It's not difficult to imagine how much Marina, even if she doesn't know anything about magic, is just coming to Gilm for an extension.

"I think I'd like to see a little more, but I have a lot of things to do, especially if there are any greens coming to the forest in Trent."
"Isn't that possible without Ray? There are many skilled adventurers in the forest of Trent now."
"That may be the case, but considering the size of the forest in Trent, it would be better to have Seto."
"Well? Good luck, then. I'll go to the lord's house and get some food from Dusker when it's settled here."

 Aren't you going to take it away?
 Ray left the clinic, thinking it would be better not to mention it.
