The maids of the lord's house carry a large amount of sandwiches.
　That's enough to make me think that there are about 30, 40, or 50 servings.
　A mountain of sandwiches now loomed in front of Ray.
　Normally, eating at the training ground is never a good idea.
　It's because it's safe that dust from the training ground will fall on the food.
　But when Marina is here, the story changes.
　By spirit magic, dust and other things don't enter the space where the food is being eaten.
　Well, in this case, the unfortunate ones are the knights who are training in the training ground.
　for their lord, Dasker, is eating in a place not far from where they are training.
　Other than that, Ray, Elena, Marina... and Dusker's men and women also dine together.

(Oh, is this... like an elementary school sports day or something like that?

　That's what Ray thinks while eating a sandwich.
　At the elementary school athletic meet, students' families gathered on the elementary school grounds for meals.
　Ray remembers even simple stalls like ice cream and moulding during lunch break.
　That's what Ray thinks, as he savor a sandwich of wild vegetables lightly boiled with a refreshing sauce and steamed chicken.

"Listen while you eat, and it's a tower of birth, isn't it dangerous?"

　Dusker also asks Ray, relishing his sandwich.
　Dusker had a light meal, too, but the sandwich was bite-sized and just the right size to pick.

"Yes, the only people in the Tower of Birth were the child, the Lizard-man, and the eggs."
"Well, then I think it's all right."
"It's a problem... it's not a threat, but there could be a problem?"
"What?"

　While eating vegetables and fried oak sandwiches, Marina says so with a little teasing.
　His eyes, however, were not a joke, but a color as if he thought they could be a real problem.
　Marina's words alone would have told her not to joke, but Elena and Arra... and even Ray, who seemed to be satisfied with Marina's words, couldn't say it was a joke.

"What does that mean?"
"Well, to put it simply... living things are pretty lovely when they're just born, aren't they?"
"I don't want to hear it, but I have to hear it, so I don't want to... I really don't want to hear it, but is it cute to be a child lizard?"
"Correct. If a stranger finds that Lizardman's child, a lot of people will want to keep it with them. ... But when they grow up, they may be as big as Zozo, and possibly as big as Gaga."

　Marina's words remind Ray of a TV show he saw in Japan.
　Turtle scooping is not uncommon for Japanese festivals.
　Green turtles, or green turtles, are a game of scooping up turtles smaller than the palms, which are very lovely when they are small, but grow up to nearly 30 cm in size.
　The official name is Mississippi Turtle, which, at least as Ray saw on TV, was not green.
　They look lovely when they're little, but they look violent when they grow up.
　It was just like a lizard.
　Most creatures, however, are lovely as children.
　Ray remembered that it was a strategic wisdom as a creature that survived as a child who was still helpless.

"Someone will think of taking the child of the Lizardman?"
"Or some might think of stealing eggs,"

　Marina's words make Dusker look even more difficult.
　Of course. Gaga, Zoo, and a warrior-trained lizard can defend themselves.
　But it's hard to resist greedy assailants, let alone children and their caretakers.
　If this was just a lizard with no backing, Dasker would not have had to worry so much.
　But the Lizardman in the Tower of Birth is the Lizardman of the Grand Dragonian Empire, a country the size of the kingdom of Mileana.
　A few days ago, only a few greens and lizzards would have metastasized, and in some cases they could have chosen to cut it off, but now the tower of birth has metastasized.
　The fact that the tower of birth, which is part of the castle, has been relocated means that the castle itself... in some cases, the imperial capital itself has not been relocated.
　Then, if it were discovered that the children and eggs of the Lizardman in the Tower of Birth were being taken away... that could be the starting point for the war.
　for the emperor of the Gran Dragonian Empire had no meaning -- at least Zozo or Gaga had not been informed -- oppressed the Greens, including Lloronola.
　In view of the danger, it was absolutely necessary to prevent the activities of the wicked who would come to the Tower of Birth.

"I understand what you mean, but I'm short-

　Originally, it was full of Gillum's extensions alone, but Lizardmen and greens moved there.
　Initially, the guards of woodcutters felling trees in the woods of Trento were mostly not so strong adventurers.
　That's when the lizard's transition increases the probability of a battle, and a skilled adventurer is hired as a bodyguard.
　Even that situation was close to the limit in terms of human resources, but in addition to that, when it was necessary to send a guardian of the tower of birth, the human resources in Gilm were not enough.
　...yes, among the people in Gilmoo.

(The report should have been made, and even if people come from the royal capital... no, but I don't know how many people will come. Then...)

　Dusker turns to Gaga, who is eating a delicious sandwich.
　Gaga is one of the strongest lizards.
　No, on the contrary, being able to compete with Ray means that Gilm as a whole ... no, it's clearly one of the best in the world.
　If such an existence, and the Lizardman unit led by Gaga, is protecting the Tower of Birth, no one who thinks unnecessary things can be careless.

(However, as long as Zozo, who can interpret, never leaves Ray, he has to rely on a lizardman who can memorize even a few words.)

　Some Lizardmen have begun to learn the language and letters of the world, if only a little.
　I'm not sure I can communicate yet, but it was much better than a lizard man who couldn't communicate at all.

(I don't have to worry about it if it's available to the Greens. ... It's dangerous to have one, or even a few, of the lizardmen.)

　Not everything is known about the ecology of the lizard.
　What's more, Zozo and Gaga are lizardmen of another world.
　Therefore, there was no possibility of another attack if they were to act with a few greens.
　Most importantly, the Greens are something that could be very beneficial to Guillum in the future.
　That being the case, it is unacceptable as a lord of Gillum to sacrifice the Greens here.

"Dasker? What's the matter?"

　Marina's words make Dusker realize he was deeply thoughtful.
　That's not strange, though, given the current situation.
　What's more, Dusker is sleep deprived and less concentrated than usual. ... Still, he is more intelligent than usual because he is capable of being the lord of Gilm.

"No, it's nothing. I think we need to protect the tower of birth somehow. We don't have enough people, so we have to get them from somewhere else. So I thought about Lizardman... it's hard not to communicate."
"Well... Ray, can't you get Zozo to help you?"
'I'm not going to leave Mr. Ray's side. As long as I serve him, I deserve it.'

　Zozo responds to Marina's words, but Elena retorts them.

"I understand what you mean, but isn't it also my subordinates' responsibility to do what they want to do? At least Arra will act to make my wish come true."
"Dear Elena..."

　At Elena's words, Arra mutters her cheeks red, perhaps happy to be complimented.
　Arra is deeply loyal to Elena.
　That's enough that if Elena orders it, she's willing to plunge into the dead."Yes, I don't mind if Arra is impressed. What do you think of Elena's words, Zozo?"

　Zozo hesitates a little and opens his mouth at Marina's words.

"No matter what you say, I will only stick to my loyalty."

　Ray would love to be loyal to those words, but I would like them to be more flexible if possible.
　To be honest, Zozo's presence is often a drag on Ray's behavior.
　For example, Ray and Sett alone can travel in less than a few minutes through the forest and guillem of Trent by flying.
　But when Sett flies, basically only Ray can carry him on his back.
　It was very difficult for a child to carry a zzzo on it, exceptions.
　Zozo says he doesn't want to leave Rey, and as a result, Seto, who has Rey and Zozo on his back, runs around the ground instead of flying. ... Still faster than a horse can run.

"Ray,"

　In Zozo's words, Marina briefly calls Ray's name.
　You must do something about it.
　Marina's expression made it clear that she was saying so.

"Oh, Zozo. I'd like Zozo to protect his companions if possible. I don't think he's your child directly, but he's your family's child or egg, right? Then he needs to protect that area."

　Tell him so, and when he sees Zozo look a little shocked by his words, he continues.

"I know Zozo is following me, and I know he's loyal to me, but I'm not just going to concentrate on that, but also on your company, and that loyalty... kindness, but I want you to turn to that."
"But it's..."

　Zozo looks bewildered when asked to protect the Tower of Birth rather than act with him, not only by Marina, but also by Ray, whom he is loyal to.

"As Marina said, loyalty doesn't mean you have to stay with her forever."
'Mr. Ray...'

　Zozo muttered to Ray.
　To Zozo's mind, he probably didn't expect Ray to kill him.
　In fact, Ray also needs to have Zozo holding the slate in terms of communicating with the lizard men.
　However, it is undoubtedly true that, given the guards of the Tower of Birth, it is better to have someone who can communicate properly than to have a strange disturbance in the event of a failure.
　But Ray can't stand by as a bodyguard for the Tower of course.
　With that in mind, Zozo's ability to communicate with the Lizzards while escorting them at the Tower of their Birth was a better, if not the best, option. ... For Ray, isn't this the best option?

(In this case, I'm glad that the users of the slates were horrified. If I had registered as the users of the slates instead of horrified, I would have to be in the tower of my birth...or would I have a green person on standby ready to be attacked?)

　It is best that Ray is in the tower of his birth, but in today's guillem, Ray's... exactly the mobility of Seto and Ray's mystery are essential things.
　As long as the Greens are vulnerable to attack, they wouldn't want to do it if possible.
　They're going to bring a great deal of profit to Gilm.

"So, Zozo, please. To protect your family, will you manage to keep up the guard in the tower of birth?"

　After a few minutes of silence, Zozo nodded to Ray's words.
