"'How about this, Mr. Ray?'
"Well... I don't think it's a problem. Right?"

　The adventurer, approached by Ray, nods in frustration.

"I've only cut down trees a long time ago, so I'm not quite sure, but I think it was more or less like this."

　The adventurer sees a tree in the forest of Trent cut down by Ray.
　Trimmed trees usually need to be dried to drain water.
　However, in the case of trees in the forest of Trent, it was possible to save the time-consuming labor of drying, as the alchemists needed to magically process them.
　However, even if it is not dry, it is necessary to cut the branches.
　I see, but... cutting off branches is rather laborious.
　But in Ray's case, there was a chill.
　Under Zozo's direction, the lizardmen all cut off the branches of the tree that had been cut down by the ray.
　Ray asked the adventurers about the results, and the adventurers employed to guard the Tower of Birth were skilled men and, of course, had never acted like helping a woodcutter.
　Or even if I had done it a long time ago... when I was still in my prime as an adventurer.
　That's why I couldn't give a firm answer when I saw the lizard cut the branches.
　... well, in that sense, Ray must know better than he carries the trees that have been cut down many times.

"Well, then, do you put it away?"

　That's what they say, and they keep the felled trees one after another in a mistling.
　There was something about it that caught Ray's eye even though he knew he had an item box.
　The trees in the Trent forest adjacent to the Tower of Birth are neatly cut down.
　The stumps were also dug out by Ray's use of death-size terrain manipulation.
　Originally, stumps are necessary to grow trees by the green people's ability.
　However, it is imperative that the stump be removed only in the area adjacent to the tower of birth.
　It would never be a good thing if the greenery caused trees to grow again.
　The stump pulled out at the root of the tree may be used for something later, so it's also stored in a mistling.
　It doesn't make sense to leave it in a mistling because it needs to be dried to be used as firewood.

(It's quite heavy, so just dropping it from above would be a suitable weapon.)

　Riding on a set, drop the stump straight down from an altitude of 100 meters... or higher.
　It may be difficult to pinpoint someone, but a group -- for example, an army -- can attack from above unilaterally.
　That said, it would undoubtedly be a more powerful attack to drop rocks or something in a mistling than to drop stumps.

"Now, I have stored the trees around the tower of birth, and I will show up to the woodcutters, and then I will go to Gilm to deliver the felled trees. I think it will be all right, but I have left it to guard them."
"Oh, I'll deal with everything. ... But someone much more reliable than us. ... Well, there's a lizard."

　The adventurer muttered to her.
　In fact, Gaga is one of the best players here.
　Even if mercenaries attack here again, Gaga will be able to defend herself.

"You can rely on Gaga, but it's not good to be too careless."
"Well, be careful. Take care of Ray and Gilm. I like fruit water as a souvenir. It's going to be quite hot today."
"Now that you mention it, it may be,"

　In the woods of Trent, even if the sun is a little strong, the branches of the tree block it and don't directly expose you to the sun.
　But the tower of his birth was next to the forest of Trent, and the tree that grew right next to the tower of his birth was cut down by Ray.
　This has overcame the shortcomings of being easily approached by the enemy, but has prevented them from resting in the shade of trees.

(It's still spring today, so it's just warm, but in the coming summer... it might be a little harsh.)

　Ray is wearing a dragon robe with a simple air conditioner, so if he's working in the middle of the summer in a place where there's no shade... on the contrary, there's no problem in the desert.
　But there are so many magic items with these features…if summer continues, those responsible for guarding the birth tower were more likely to suffer from heatstroke.

(Thinking about it, we need a building where we can make shade. No, even if it's not a full-scale building, can we do something with a tent? After that, we carry water from guillem with food, but if possible, we want a well.)

　Ray doesn't know if he can dig here to build a well.
　However, if a well is built, there will be no shortage of water for now.
　Determined to ask Zozo later, Ray called Seto, who had just returned with the children on his back, and headed for Gilm.





"Well, it was even more amazing today... in another way."
"Glu?"

　Ray gives the alchemists the felled trees and stretches out his back as he walks along the road with Seto.
　The woodcutters, as I said to Ray, were quite upbeat today, and there were clearly more trees that had been cut down than usual. ... Instead, they were more tired than usual, perhaps because they worked too hard.
　The trees which had been brought in large quantities were taken away by the alchemists.
　It ignited the pride of the woodcutters that there was a scramble for building materials.
　At the same time, it may have ignited the pride of the alchemists in magically disposing of the trees they fell.
　That's why alchemists were always asking me what to do with the monsters' highlights, but today it's more wood than wood!
　Although Ray was surprised by the alchemists' appearance, they did not talk about the flexibility of the materials as usual, and they were concentrating on their work after taking the trees.

"I'm done with my business, and shall I eat something and go home?" ... I was going to say so."

　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
　Just as he followed Ray's gaze, Sett looked at him.
　In fact, Sett had noticed before Ray, but he kept silent because he didn't seem to be doing anything in particular.

"Oh, have you noticed? I'm sorry to surprise you, but would you like to have dinner with me?"

　When Ray says so, he is surprised to see the person who shows up.
　He was ambushing himself in a place like this.
　There was no hostility, so I knew it was probably for some kind of negotiation, but it was still a woman who showed up, although the pattern had been men.
　A woman in her twenties with a well-designed features that almost all, if not as good as Elena's, can describe as beautiful.
　Such a woman casually invites Ray to dinner.

"I'll ask you just in case, but you're not trying to persuade me?"

　Ray's words gave the woman a momentary surprise, but the next moment she burst out laughing unconsciously.

"Hahaha! No, I'm sorry. I'd like to dine with a cool boy like Ray, but I thought he was a little too old to be in love."
"If you say so, I can't tell me.

　Ray has been in this world for several years.
　However, Ray has not grown any taller since he acquired his present body in this world, and remains in his mid-teenage.
　Despite the fact that Seto has grown by nearly a meter.
　In a way I might call him immortal, but personally I would like him to grow a little taller.
　Specifically, it's about 180 cm.

"I'm sorry, but wouldn't it be better for Ray to be approached at the same age? ... Let's leave the matter alone. And how about eating?"
"I don't mind eating, but what do you mean by that you've been waiting for me?"

　Only Ray, a notorious adventurer, has had many individual stories.
　Some even want to fight to prove their strength, or sell Ray's materials and magic items, for invitations to become an exclusive adventurer, for example, for non-guilded requests.
　In that sense, invitations like this woman are not uncommon.Ray's preference for eating is immediately apparent with a little research.
　That's what you'll find out at stalls and restaurant.

"Well, but it's not a lie to want to eat with Ray. ... We have a seat in a nice restaurant, so why don't we go there?"
"I don't have much time, but if that's all right,"

　In terms of guarding the tower of birth, I don't have to worry too much about Gaga.
　However, if there is any situation other than the need for a bodyguard, something bad can happen to Gaga, Zozo, and Knights.
　With that in mind, there's no doubt that Ray doesn't have much time to spare.
　...but I'm attracted to the fact that it's a bit delicious.
　If this was a really good restaurant, I would have heard it quite a lot.
　But Ray was attracted by such adjectives as if he were a little condescending when they were a little delicious.

"Yes, of course that's fine. Then let's go right away."

　The woman smiled and told Ray and Sett... holding her mouth as if she had noticed something.

"Now that you mention it, you haven't introduced yourself yet. I'm Daisy. Nice to meet you."

　When Daisy tells her so, Ray pats Sett back.

"I think you already know me, but it's Ray. This is Set."
"Well, that's why I'm here to see you. Then let's go. I didn't know when Mr. Ray would be here, so I made a reservation for a long time, but the people in the restaurant would like to serve the food as soon as possible."
"It's a bit of a good restaurant. That's all I can expect... By the way, how about Seto?"

　It was a vague remark about Seto, but I think it made sense to Daisy.
　shake one's head apologetically

"I'm sorry, but I can't afford to let Seto in. You have to wait outside..."
"Glu".

　Daisy's words make Seto cry regretfully.
　However, Seto understood his body size, so he understood that he could not enter the store in a decent store, let alone a stall.
　That's why it's not that bad, if not so bad.

"Well... I'm sorry, Set. I'm going to get some souvenirs, so please put up with it."
"Grull!"

　A gift from Ray's mouth instantly made him feel better.
　I guess it's partly because I wasn't so shocked that I wasn't able to eat at the restaurant.

"Oh my gosh,"

　She smiled amusingly at Seto's appearance.
　Rank A Monster......no, it's a rare species and it's considered a monster of rank S, but from what you can see, it must have been very lovely.

"Glu?"

　What's the matter with Daisy? Seth tilted her head.
　If you behave like that with round eyes, you'll feel even more lovely with the size of your set.
　Daisy's face naturally smiled.

"It was Seto-chan. It's not in the store, but I'll make sure Seto-chan can eat well, so please be patient with that."

　At Daisy's words, Seto was delighted... with a deep, happy voice and tail wagging.
