2097 2097th episode



"This is... again..."

 Dusker's men, who came to see what was going on, were simply dumbfounded at the sight unfolding before them.
 It was a sight I've seen several times, so Ray just wonders again.
 ...it would be impossible not to be surprised if there were actually so many lakes in front of you.

"I've heard that it's a big lake, but what about that burning one?"

 The man looking at the lake forces his eyes off the scene before him and asks another eye-catching figure.
 Beyond that gaze is the scene of huge slime burning.
 It's been a few hours since Ray used magic, but the burning flame still doesn't seem to go down.
 Even the magical Ray wonders how long it will really last.

(But if it keeps burning, that means the slime that's burning is not dead yet. To be honest, it's not funny to be able to live this far under my spell.)

 The slime was now burning and stuck, but if you were fighting -- without Ray's magic -- you wouldn't know how much damage would have been done.
 There was no doubt that he was tough enough to think so.

"I can't say anything about the flames over there. That's what Slime is going to do until he dies."
"Wait a minute,"

 Dusker's men look unexpectedly at Ray's words.
 as if he couldn't believe Rey's words

"Was it slime that was burning? Is that slime still alive?"
"That's the case, though you don't have to worry, because you can't do anything while it's burning, and the slime's burning to death."

 Ray's words confuse the listener.
 Slime is a pain in the neck, but if your opponent keeps burning down, you don't have to worry about it that much.

"You can't feel completely at ease while it's burning."
"Don't. I don't think we can do anything in this situation, though."

 Ray finally looks a little relieved by assuring him that he will be OK.

"At any rate, we need to inform Mr. Dusker of many things. In some cases, Mr. Dusker may come this far in person."
"I suppose,"

 Dusker didn't come this far in person when the Tower of Birth was transferred.
 It is largely understood by reports from adventurers, knights, and other subordinates who saw the tower of birth, but there is a problem that he was busy with his work.
 Today's Dusker lives almost every day so that he can only relax when he goes to bed and eats.
 When Ray heard it, he remembered the catchphrase he had seen in something like, "Can you work 24 hours?"
 ...that's what they seem to be trying to do to prevent their subordinates from getting enough sleep or bringing in work at mealtime.
 and he could not afford to come to the forest of Trent, a reasonable distance from Gillum, let alone to see the greens and lizards in his mansion.
 But if a lake like this was built, it would be a different story.
 That's because the lake could have a huge impact on Gilm's life.
 As long as it's such a place, there's no doubt that Dusker needs to see it directly.
 You look directly at the lake, and, by chance, at the Tower of Birth, decide what to do from now on.

(Isn't it better to pick them up by a set basket?)

 Suddenly Ray thinks so.
 With a set basket, it takes less than a minute to reach the forest of Trent from Gilm.
 It's very soon.
 ...but given Dusker's status, I don't think he can do it's possible.
 Dusker is one of the most important figures in Gilm.
 Therefore, in case of falling out of the sky, there was no doubt that they would stop us from moving in a set basket.
 Ray had the feeling that, in fact, most things would have happened, if Seto was there.

"Then shall I wait here until Mr. Dusker comes to-day, or shall I finish my work as usual?"
"Just in case, just as usual. If anything happens, I'll get back to you again. But I don't think it's going to be easy today, considering Mr. Dusker says.
"All right, but if it takes too long, the slime may die and the flame may go out."

 Slime's death would have been a natural delight.
 But Ray, who knows Dusker's character, thinks it's probably no surprise that Dusker wants to see slime burning.
 In the first place, the size of slime is definitely not enough.
 Such a size of existence is burning without endlessly.
 If you don't know why this is burning, it could be a tourist attraction.
 Whether anyone would be happy to see it or not.

(In the first place, Gilmoo is a remote area. No one wants to come on a sightseeing trip there... I don't think so, but it's definitely quite a few. It's impossible to make a sightseeing spot.)

 Soon after he switches his mind, Ray returns to the tower of his birth tower.
 When Dusker's men see Ray moving, they get the information they need from the others... to find out what happened when the lake spread and how the conversation went.

'Mr. Ray, what shall I do if the children want to play in the lake?'

 When Ray comes back to the tower of his birth, Zozo asks.
 For children, it's not like they've actually seen a huge slime, so they'll soon forget the horror.

"That lake has not been thoroughly examined yet, and it is dangerous?"
'I think so, for the children were playing in the lake before the disturbance.'

 Rey nods to Zozo's words.
 For children, it's only natural that they want to play there again, once they've been playing there.
 Children are very bold, no matter how dangerous monsters may be in the lake.

(If you do such a thing as to ban it badly here, you may play at your own discretion out of the reach of adults.)

 Given the size of the lake, there is a good chance that children will act like that.
 In such a situation, there is a good chance that Ray will be attacked by a monstrous, if not monstrous, monstrous, animal -- as seen from above, with non-wet hair.
 In order to prevent that from happening...

"Why don't you let the adult lizard guys play nearby? It's better to have them still within sight than to have them move on their own?"

 In the end we had no choice but to compromise like that way.
 Perhaps Zozo agrees with Ray's words, nods a little and then leaves.

"It's hard for the person in charge."
"... I know. But I don't think I'm in charge."

 That's what Ray replies to the teasing Vihela's words.
 For some reason, Ray had some doubts about the situation in which he was supposed to manage, but he immediately reconsidered that there was nothing he could do about it.
 In the first place, Ray is the one to whom Zozo, who has a translation tablet, swears allegiance.
 It was only natural for Zozo to talk to her, and it was natural for Ray to deal with him.
 It would also be influential in this case that he was the strongest person in this place.

"Then Bune and I will be back soon. We've just arrived at the break, and that break is almost over."
"Would you like to send it as a set?"
"I don't need it. And right now, Ray's here is the most important thing, right? If something happens when he's gone, a lot of things would be dangerous."
"That... I can't deny it,"

 Elena and Marina are here, but if something goes wrong with the burning slime, let alone an ordinary monster, they needed someone to deal with.

(Huh? Then, will I be staying here for a while?)Ray notices the fact.
 I was wondering if I had to stay here until the burning slime worked out.
 Gillum has other adventurers of notoriety, some of whom would be able to defeat the slime.
 There is no doubt that Elena and Marina are the people who can fight against slime...Vihela alone will be difficult because of compatibility.

(I might be able to knock it down if I use my hands, but the slime is too big.)

 At any rate, some people can beat or fight that slime, but when it burns, the story changes.
 Some people may still be able to do something about it, but Ray, who has burned it, should do it...
 It is bad aftertaste for Ray to leave it to someone who is appropriate for him and cause damage to the tower of birth and the lizard men.
 That being the case, I decide that I should stay here and do something about it.

"Ah... Marina, I'm afraid I'll have to live here for a while from today."

 When Vichela and Bune see off in Marina's carriage for Gilm, they tell Marina, who was talking to Elena a little further away.

"What? ... oh, I see. Come to think of it, Ray needs to stay here, considering that slime thing? ... That's a bit disappointing."

 Some of the people who heard such a conversation between Ray and Marina look surprised.
 They probably didn't know that Ray now lives in Marina's house.
 Ray's stay at Marina's over the Zozo and Gaga cases is not a cover-up, but not a public declaration.
 That's why he knows, but he doesn't know.
 Furthermore, when I hear that she sleeps in a beautiful woman's house like Marina, I naturally feel something glamorous there.
 Ray, who is staring at Marina without any jealousy, respect or admiration, continues to talk to her.

"Why, I can't leave that burning thing as it is. ... Honestly, I didn't expect it to be this troublesome."

 Even if you look at it in a troubled way, it doesn't stop the flames burning the slime.
 Even now the slime was burning, but it still didn't seem to burn.
 Troubling... I'd say that's a very troubling person.

"Huff, but you can't get out of that flame, can you?"
"Yes,"
"Then I'll keep watch with my spirit, and let you know if anything happens... No, that's not good. It'll take some time to get here from Gillum."

 As soon as you're on a set, you'll have to break through the boundaries of Gillum, just like when the tower of birth was transferred.
 However, if you do so, you will end up causing trouble to those who are always on the border.
 The best way to avoid it was to camp here.
 Given the building's birth tower, it's definitely much easier to spend than camping, or you can use a magic tent.
 The Magic Tent, which has a normal room inside, is a lot more comfortable camping than sleeping in the Tower of Birth.
 ...when using a magic tent, it may be wrong to describe it as a camp.

(The next time you bring Gillum the Trent wood, you should buy more food than usual.)

 Ray thought so, but in reality, Ray's mystery ring still contains a lot of food...not ingredients, so he didn't have to buy that much food.
 Still, the idea of buying food must have been purely a part of Ray's hobby.
