"You must have been surprised at the delicious breakfast."

　Coming to the Tower of Birth, Ray immediately hears what Gaga said at breakfast and is convinced.
　Gaga nodded satisfactorily as Zozo interpreted what she wanted to say.

(As expected, without Zozo... No, I'm in trouble if I don't have a slate for interpreters. Would you like to contact Grimm tonight?

　That's what Ray thought, but Grimm recalls saying that he only had one tablet for Zozo.
　If that's the case, there's no point in contacting Grimm.

(It's a monster material that you don't want to get in the way of if you do experiments.)

　Given Grimm's personality, Ray wouldn't be so angry if he contacted him here.
　However, it is said that there is no point in asking too much.
　Whether you want something or not, there's nothing you can do about it.
　Ray's hope is that it's a magic item with similar performance that Dusker is looking for.

"Breakfast? ... It was actually delicious. What about breakfast?"
'I had my breakfast brought from Guillem and ate it. . . . It was not delicious compared to the food I had with Mr. Ray.'

　The remark makes Ray understand.
　The food that has been brought in is by no means unsavory.
　However, compared to the food we eat at Marina's house, the taste is very poor.
　It was a matter of course.
　Also, for Zozo's sake, it's not possible to eat with Ray, who he's intoxicated with.
　Still waiting in the Tower of Birth was largely because Ray told me that I had to stay with him for a long time just because I was intoxicated with him.

"Well, for the time being, I brought the lunch and we'll eat here, so I hope it tastes good."

　Today Ray is also to be escorted at the Tower of his Birthday.
　Fortunately... really, fortunately, no one was going to attack the Tower of Birth last night.
　However, as long as mercenaries are attacking during the day, we cannot afford to cut corners on security.
　That's why, in order not to repeat what it was yesterday, Ray's military strength is now attached to the tower of his birth.
　Ray is there, and naturally Seto is there.
　Gaga also showed that, as long as she was in the tower of birth during the day, even if anyone thought strangely, she would never achieve her goal.

『I envy you, brother Gaga, who can eat with Ray』
"Is that so? ... Well, I'm sure Gaga is happy to be able to eat delicious food."

　In fact, not only today's breakfast, but also earlier dishes, Gaga was eating satisfactorily.
　In that sense, Zozo is extremely envious of Gaga.

'It seems to me to me that he is the most extravagant of all right.'

　He muttered deeply, but there was no envy in his words for Gaga's words.
　While he wonders if that's the beauty of Zozo, Ray looks around him.
　I had been acting as a bodyguard just in case, so I thought there was nothing wrong with it."

"Gruly!"

　A Lizardman's child was playing with Seto.
　Adult lizardmen don't get too close, perhaps because they know the strength of the set instinctively.
　Around here, Ray could have guessed that because Lizardman was a monster, he was afraid of the same monster set.
　But children, not adults, are not afraid to see Seto.
　Ray didn't even think that he could instinctively sense a scary partner because he was a child, but as far as I could see, he seemed to recognize Seto as a trustworthy partner, regardless of that.

'The children seem to be attached to Seto, too... that's a good thing.'

　Zozo murmurs deeply as he watches the children playing with Seto.
　Even for Zozo, being a child of the same lizardman would be a lovely thing.
　But Zozo is clearly different from the usual lizard man, and even Gaga looks more unusual.

(An ordinary lizard can't spit out a fire brace.)

　However, Gaga has never used a fire brace in a mock match against Vihela.
　It's only natural that the place is in Marina's courtyard.
　Even without a fire brace, Gaga is strong enough.
　Although not really serious, Vihela was definitely happy with the mock battle even in such a situation.
　Vichela did not use the same kind of magic as her hands, but was fighting against Gaga purely with martial arts.
　In that sense, the battle between Gaga and Vihela is a mock battle.

"And, by the way... did no one metastasize last night?"
'What? Oh, yes. No one, including the greens, had metastasized.'
"Well... I've had at least once a day of metastasis. Is that the great thing that the tower of birth has had? But I wonder why this has happened."

　What has spread so far are the greens and lizardmen, who have also spread from the forest where the greens live.
　Nevertheless, this tower of birth was the imperial capital of the Grand Dragonian Empire. That is part of the castle.
　Clearly, the situation is different from that of previous metastases.

'Why... why?'

　Rey's words bewildered Zozo, and he turns his eyes to the tower of birth.
　I don't know why I've been transferred, and I don't know why the tower of birth has been transferred.

"For the time being, the big one has metastasized, and it won't be here for a while?"...I'm not sure of anything."

　I'm not sure, but I don't know if it's magic or some other force, but consumption must be different between the transition of the tower of birth and the transition of the lizard and greens.
　If so, it is not strange to think that the transition may have been settled until the energy that is transferring it from the Zozo world has recovered.
　...however, that's only a prediction.
　For example, Ray's magic.
　If there was a man like Ray in the world of Zozo who probably possessed more magical powers than anyone else in Elgin, and the one with that magical powers was spreading, it would have been better if he could still afford it.
　Of course, there must be a lot of peculiarities like Ray, but it's not that there's no possibility.

'I, for one, hope that it will be just as Mr. Ray wishes.'

　If Zozo is in the position of protecting the tower of his birth, he should have more lizard men.
　But when you think about Gaga... and Zaza's metastasis, in some cases it's better not to.
　Unlike Gaga, some princes are more pro-Zaza... No, Zaza is still more decent in character.
　If such a person had metastasized, there was a good chance that he would cause trouble, given that he was in a position that was worse than Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo Zo.
　Some people also have values such as Lizardman supremacy.
　Having the same ability, such a person can even think of the worst possible outcome if he comes here. ... Yes, the worst possible outcome is to kill all the greens.
　They are now building friendly relations, but some could do something that would be destroyed.
　...and yet he is adored because he is kind to Lizard Man because of his supremacy.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

　Ray suddenly turns his eyes to Seto.
　There, Seto, carrying several lizard children on his back, turned round eyes to Ray for something.
　I didn't know for a moment what Seto was looking for, but he nodded in agreement.

"All right. You can go into the forest of Trent, but you must protect the children.""Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto shrieks, "Of course!" and goes into the forest of Trent.
　The bodyguard's lizardmen were wondering whether to stop Seto or not, but as soon as Gaga says something, her agitation disappears.
　This area is a proof that he is the third prince and, above all, one of the five most powerful people in the Grand Dragonian Empire, he is loved and trusted.
　Zozo, watching the situation, casts a relieved, envious, emotional glance.
　Gaga is Zozo's reliable brother and goal.
　That's why when you compare yourself with what you are today, you realize the difference there.
　Ray doesn't call out to Zozo, either, to see how he feels.

"Well, we'll work, too, though few people are here."

　Some adventurers and knights are here just in case something happens.
　But the lizardmen are already at the forefront of defending the tower of birth.
　People and adventurers are also needed, but there is no doubt that yesterday's incident of mercenaries has contributed to the decline.

(Now, what happened to the mercenaries yesterday? Knights and guards said they would try to do a lot of things, but... did they do well? No, tell us if they did well.)

　Mercenaries, who are different from adventurers, are in question here.
　That doesn't mean we're not going to let Gillum have mercenaries, and we're not going to keep watch on all the mercenaries.
　All we can do in the end is place some knights and adventurers here and show that not everyone in this world is an enemy.
　Fortunately, Zozo and Gaga and other lizard men are reasonably friendly with Gilm.
　Dusker's protection of the Lizardmen and his assurance of food, clothing, and shelter in the lord's mansion was great, though it may be called food, clothing, and shelter, as he did nothing particular about clothing.
　It has made many lizardmen feel good about Dusker... and Gillum's people.
　They were suddenly transferred to a different world that they didn't know -- though Ray didn't know how many of them recognized it -- and instead of being attacked there, they were protected.
　It would be impossible to say that unless you're quite ungrateful, don't be kind or indebted to such a person.
　and yet, given the attack of mercenaries, it is not entirely credible.

"We're told to go back to Gilmoo at noon, but what are you going to do with Ray?"

　The man who asked me so was an adventurer.
　Given his assignment here, there is no doubt that he is a skilled adventurer and trusted by Dusker.

"I'll stay here. I'll stay here till the evening. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　The mercenaries who were attacking the tower of their birth yesterday fled the moment they found out that Ray had come.
　It means that Ray knows how powerful he is.
　Of course, Ray's... the rumor of crimson is so widespread that you might know it.
　Anyway, if it's mercenaries like yesterday's that attack you, you're unlikely to attack Ray in the presence of Ray.
　The problem is after Ray returns to Gilm at night...It's very dangerous to go out of Gillum at night on the frontier, and it's probably safe.
　Some mercenaries, however, are daredevil, and others accept danger if it's for a high reward.
　Most of all, there is a tower of birth, so some people may think that they should escape to the tower of birth when it comes to the crunch. ... The part that was originally connected to the castle disappeared cleanly as if it had been hollowed out with a spoon, and it is not difficult to get in and out of it.

(In that sense, I think it would be better if Gaga's forces remained here... ...do you think he can do anything by himself?)

　Ray had such a question, but I'd like to think so because Gaga has Gaga's idea and Zozo has Zozo's idea.
　And when it comes to the crunch, I'm sure they'll get in touch with me.
　Thinking so, Ray continued to talk to the adventurers.
