"Oops!"

　Avoid Gaga's spanking blow, and the next moment avoid the tail blow as a follow-up blow.
　Having avoided the blow, Gaga is surprised to have avoided a series of attacks, but quickly moves on, convinced.
　For Gaga, it was probably a big part of the reason why she didn't expect such an attack to work for Ray.
　Ray steps forward to take advantage of Gaga's failed attack.
　It's not very interesting for Gaga, who is about three meters tall, to be approached by Ray.
　Gaga, who is tall and has long arms and legs, is, so to speak, like carrying a long weapon.
　That's why it's hard to deal with a quick, small opponent like Ray when he gets inside his pocket.
　However, Gaga's physique is so large that it is not uncommon for a fighter to choose who is inside her pocket.

「●●！」

　When Gaga lands on the ground, she shakes her elbows.
　He could not attack with his fist as long as the interval was narrow, and that's probably why he used his elbow to attack even with a short interval.
　But Ray avoids such an attack by jumping sideways and kicks the ground again the moment his leaping foot hits the ground.
　Unusual...or forceful triangulation is unexpected to Gaga.
　For Gaga, the moment she thought she had escaped from the inside of the moment she avoided her blow, she made up her mind again.
　What's more, Ray's blow was from the outside of Gaga's elbow... right next to him.
　As long as it's a completely unexpected blow, Gaga can't defend herself and is blown away with a fist blow to the side.
　It even brings a comical laugh, given the height difference between Ray and Gaga.
　However, what is going on there is a mock game, but it is a serious game, and there is no element of fooling both sides.
　Gaga moves herself in the air and uses her tail to balance herself while being blown incredibly lightly by her size to land on the ground.

"He moves a lot with his huge body."

　Gaga would have no idea what Ray was saying.
　Do you understand that you are still praising yourself? Put yourself back on your feet, smile, and stand up again.
　That's how he shows himself that he can still fight.

"Well, just... it's breakfast time in a little while. We can't have a mock fight forever, and we'll finish it."

　To Ray, who tells him so, Gaga probably understood what he was saying from what he was saying, even though he didn't understand what he said.
　He's ready to deal with Ray... and they kick the ground almost at the same time.
　But Ray clearly outperformed Gaga in terms of instantaneous power and acceleration.
　Even though they started moving almost at the same time, the one who bumped into each other was the one who was closer to Gaga.
　Still, Gaga sticks out her fist, saying she lost in speed but not in battle, but Ray walks forward and hits Gaga over her shoulder, avoiding the fist.
　a so-called tackle
　Being small and yet more physically competent than Gaga, Rei produces enough shock to blow away Gaga's giant body.

"●●●!"

　Leaping diagonally forward, the tackle hit Gaga in the abdomen.
　...if Ray had stepped in at the wrong time, or even below his belly... he didn't seem to notice it at all, though there might have been a tackle on Gaga's crotch.
　Gaga blew up a few meters and bounced to the ground several times before stopping.
　But by the time Ray had already moved to the front of the fallen Gaga, ready to fire his fist.

「……」

　After a few seconds of silence, Gaga raises her hands.
　From previous battles, we know that raising both hands is a signal of surrender.
　Seeing Gaga like that, Ray also frees himself.
　The sun is shining, but springy and still a little cold in the morning.
　But in this courtyard, which has been made easy by the spirits of Marina, such coldness could move about regardless.

"I guess it's over. Then, with me next time..."
"Vihela, it's breakfast time,"

　When Vihela sees the mock battle between Ray and Gaga over, she tries to say it's her turn next time, Marina comes into the garden and says so.

"Isn't it a bit early today?"
"Not really. ... Right?"
"Well, there are some errors, but they are not so extreme as usual."
"Yes,"

　Marina's words were answered by Elena, and the hungry Bune muttered, "Breakfast!"
　Arra alone looked at Vihela with indescribable subtlety, but her gaze was more damaging to her than to urge her to have breakfast.

"All right. Let's have breakfast. ... We didn't fight much this morning, after all."
"No, I think you were fighting in your own way?"

　Ray tells the complaining Vihela so.
　In fact, Vihela is playing mock battles with Rey and Gaga, so it's not like she couldn't fight as she said.
　Still, Vihela's honest intention was to play more mock battles if possible.
　Nevertheless, it's breakfast time, and when it's over, work will start all day today.
　Vichela would help prepare breakfast, hoping that a strong opponent would make a fuss.





"Oh, Mr. Ray,"

　When Lenora finds Ray in the guild, he calls out.
　It was still early in the morning, but the guild was crowded with people looking for work.
　Basically, Ray didn't like crowds, but now he's in a lot of trouble, so he needs to come to the guild at times like this.
　We sewed our way through the crowd and eventually arrived at the counter...

"Is that all right?"
"Hey,"

　The man in front of Ray easily gave up his place.

"But may I ask you to shake hands?"
"... well, I don't mind,"

　It is widely known in Gilm that Ray is an adventurer nicknamed crimson.
　However, for those who have just come to Gilm in search of work on extension work, a notorious adventurer is not something you'll see so many times in your life.
　If the man could shake hands just by giving up his place, he had no choice but not to give up his turn.

(Is it like an idol or something?)

　Feeling subtle, Ray hands the man with an honest hand and asks him to give up his turn.

"Oh, ha. Ray, you're very popular.
"Honestly, don't hesitate whether I should be happy or not. So what should I do today? Actually, I heard yesterday that the people doing the extension work had a fist fight over the rest of the building materials, but if it was a guard of the tower of birth, I could cut down the trees around there and carry them."

　Last night, Lenora nods with a smile on her face as she recounts what she heard from Marina.
　...next to him looking envious at Lenora while dealing with other adventurers, but doesn't he notice it, or does he intentionally ignore it?
　Anyway, Lenora sends some papers to Ray.

"If you sign here, we will accept the logging and transportation of trees as separate requests."
"Is that all right?"
"Yes, Mr. Ray wouldn't have a problem. ... Besides, it's better to have more trees that have been cut down. For now, the woodcutters will resume their work."
"...do you? Then you don't have to bother me..."
"No, please do it. At least a few days, and the work of the woodcutters will resume, so we will also transport the felled trees."
"Do you like it? I don't usually cut down trees."Yes. I understand what Mr. Ray means, but this is an exception, because we need to use as much wood as possible as possible for construction now."
"But as long as we need to magically dispose of them, we can't cut them today and use them as building materials right away, can we?"
"Still, yes. You can leave that up to the alchemists."

　When Lenora says so, Ray has no choice but to nod honestly.
　Alchemists, in fact, have many problems in their personalities, but they have enough skill to call themselves first-rate.
　...they don't want to get very close to Ray because he's asked to show and use the huge eyeballs he knocked down in the winter.

"Okay. It's no fun to stop the extension work. I'll do my best a little."
"Thank you very much. ... I'd like to send as many people as possible as a guild."

　As Lenora apologizes, Ray asks with a little concern.

"It's all right to send a woodcutter, but what are you going to do about the tower? You don't want to spread it as much as you can, do you?"

　The only thing I mutter is a tower, so that no one can hear it.
　Lenora smiles slightly at Ray's concern.

"That's true, but I understand that it's inevitable. Of course I'm telling the woodcutters not to tell me what they saw in the forest of Trent."

　I don't think it's it's impossible.
　Lenora tells us half-worsen.
　In fact, Ray could have predicted that silence would have little effect in this case.
　Perhaps you'll be talking about the Tower of Birth, whether you're going out to a bar or going to a brothel after work today.
　In the first place, anyone with information knows about the tower of birth.
　It would be obvious, considering the time mercenaries attacked the tower of birth.
　...though it seems to Ray a great deal of trouble that some of Dusker's men and adventurers have leaked information.
　At any rate, it was a definite fact that the present situation was in trouble.

"It's only a matter of time before the information spreads."
"I suppose so. So, is there no problem with Lizardman?"
"Oh, basically, there are a lot of quiet people. Maybe because they're on top."

　Lizard men like Gaga and Zozo are very intelligent......it may be a little hard to think about because of Gaga's appearance, but at least they don't look down on themselves and look down on them.
　Even after Ray showed his ability when he first met her and started living in Marina's house, he judged that people in this world would never be underestimated by playing mock battles with Vihela and Elena.
　...if only Zozo's brother Zaza had come into this world, it is possible that he would have protected the metastasized greens and developed into a full-scale battle with the Lizardmen.
　In that sense, it was fortunate for Ray that Zozo had first metastasized... well, it was fortunate for the inhabitants of Gillum, and that the third prince, Gaga, had metastasized.

"Then I'll be heading to the forest of Trent soon, too. The zozos will be waiting, and the woodcutters will be going, won't they?"
"To be exact, we've already gone, because we couldn't do it yesterday, so we were very eager to cut down as many trees as possible today."
"It's a model of a woodcutter,"

　Impressed, Ray moves from the front of the counter.
　Behind Ray was an adventurer who gave way, so he waved lightly to thank him.
　Perhaps he was pleased with Ray's attitude, but the adventurer smiled broadly as he looked back at his hand, which he had just shook.
　Ray was so happy that he thought he wouldn't be able to work today, but in reality the adventurer worked very hard and was recognized by his superiors, and then fell in love with his elder sister, who never knew about it.

"Slurrurling.

　When Ray leaves the guild, Seto, who is playing with some adventurers, is quick to spot Ray and purr happily.

'Ah...'

　Some adventurers cry regretfully at the sight of Seto.
　However, I knew for granted who Seto loved the most as long as he cared about her, so I regret it, but I have nothing more to say.

"Well, have you had everybody play with you? I'm glad... ...but I'm going to the forest of Trent soon, so let's stop playing here."
"Glu".

　She chants at Ray's words and says in an attitude that Seto understands, and chants again to the person who played with her and to the person who gave her various snacks.
　Perhaps the adventurers who had been playing with Set sent Ray and Set to cheer up.
