When the scholars who came to see the lake returned and the sun was setting... it was about five o'clock in the afternoon.
　At that time, those who were in charge of guarding the tower of birth become much more relaxed.
　There were times when I looked into the lake and ate the fish there, but there was no other... no particular attack.
　Exactly because Ray was attacked by an Amenbo monster in the morning and the monster didn't have a magical stone, I couldn't say there was nothing at all.
　It's safe to say that something has happened enough.
　...but that's just the usual thing for Ray.
　At any rate, the sun was setting, and dinner was now ready.
　Today's main dish is stew with deer meat.
　Originally, deer meat was a wild meat quality, but the meat in the stew was very tender depending on the cook's skill.
　Some people stick fish caught from the lake in the branches of trees and grill them over a bonfire.
　Although scholars have found that there is no such thing as poison, it is unlikely that some problems will arise later.
　Nevertheless, Ray is at a loss as to whether he should have the courage or not to think about eating grilled fish.
　However, Ray imitates putting cheese taken out from Ray into a branch, grilling it over a bonfire, and putting it on bread when the surface melts.
　Others were warming up grilled fish and cheese, and other skewers brought by horse-drawn carts.
　So eating together was a familiar experience for adventurers, but it was unusual for Ray, who used to only act with Seto, and now often with certain people such as the wings of the Red Lotus.
　We usually have dinner last night, breakfast today, and lunch together.

"Well, I never expected the lake to metastasize,"
"I was more scared of those shells than that. If I knew they were in the lake, I'd rather not go in for a second."
"d*mn it! Why is that scholar so important?"

　I'm still working as a bodyguard, so I don't have to drink.
　Some adventurers seemed unhappy about it, but it was only natural that a large group of people in such a large group.
　The sight of everyone eating happily, such as many people eating what they wanted to eat and complaining about what happened today, gave Ray a different taste than when he was eating in the cafeteria.

"Well, this deer stew is delicious..."

　One of the adventurers muttered deeply.
　Next door was a lizard's mouth full of grilled fish, perhaps because he got along with the adventurer.

「●●、●●●」
"Do you like that fish too? I know that, but I prefer meat to fish."

　Watching the two having such conversations, Ray wonders if that's the way the conversation goes.
　As far as we can see, it seems to be well understood, but what the Lizard says is, of course, what the adventurer says is the language of the world.
　The reason why we don't seem to care so much about each other is probably because we spent some time together.

"But in the last few days I've been very busy all around here."

　An adventurer who was eating deer stew by Ray's side tells him heartily.
　Not many would have heard it, partly because it wasn't so loud.
　But that's why Ray nods to his words.

"Well, it was especially great that the lake had been transferred. ... I didn't know there was such a huge slime at the bottom of the lake."

　Watching the still-burning slime, Ray nods to the words.
　Many scholars who came today were also interested in the burning slime.
　Some even asked if he was interested in the huge slime, or if possible, to get rid of the magic because he wanted to see it directly, but Ray naturally rejected it.
　Even now, when it continues to burn, it does not seem to decrease in size at all.
　Or the slime may have been burned down, but it doesn't seem particularly large from Ray's perspective.
　If that's the case, then even if it shrinks, it's hard to tell.

(It absorbs magical powers and flames, and grows rather than shrinks, right?)

　It wasn't without some anxiety, but Ray was confident that he would probably be OK.
　There's no specific reason, but it's nevertheless.
　I've had a lot of experience in this area where I've been through a lot of fierce battles and fighting a lot of monsters since I've spread to this world.
　However, if Ray's prediction is correct, this lake is a lake that has been transferred from another world, and the slime that comes out of that lake is naturally a monster from another world, so if Ray's prediction is to be understood, I can't make a straight answer.

"Glu? ...Glulululululululululululululululululululululululu

　As he dined with the rest of us, Seto suddenly grunts to warn the people around him of the danger.
　There's no one here who doesn't believe in Seto's senses.
　Some people say that even if they can't believe their senses, they can.
　Lizardman also knows of how strong Seto is, and as soon as adventurers and knights, he is ready for war.
　While eating, the request to guard the tower of birth is ongoing.
　As a matter of course, it is not difficult to respond immediately, as you can reach out and get your own weapon.

"Be careful, the enemy is from the lake!"

　Ray screams, seeing Sett groaning toward the lake.
　As long as there is a tower of birth next to the forest of Trent, it is safe for some animal or monster to attack from the forest of Trent... or from a plain.
　Most animals and monsters run away as soon as they feel the presence of Seto.
　But some of them know Seto's existence and still refuse to run away.
　There was a possibility that such animals and monsters had attacked, but what Sett is looking at now is a lake.

(Huh? Hold on. If animals and monsters can't get close to Seto because of his presence, isn't that the same with monsters in the lake?)

　Ray thought so, but, apart from the huge slime, Amenbo attacked him regardless of whether Seto was present.
　Is it because it's a monster from another world, or because it doesn't have a magical stone -- though it's not really confirmed yet?
　Ray didn't know where it was, but it was only natural that Sett was on the lookout for the lake, and that someone would attack him again, regardless of whether he was there.

"Look! There are so many! It's not an amenbo!"

　One of the adventurers shouts sharply at the edge of the lake.
　The words make everyone look at the edge of the waves, not on the lake.
　It was, in a nutshell, a reptile that was reflected by the light produced by moonlight and the burning of slime.
　But like a crocodile... no, it has a longer mouth than a crocodile.
　If you add up to the tail, it's half a meter long.
　About half of them were mouthpieces.
　I didn't know if I'd noticed myself being watched, but I still noticed that the nocturnal ray was lined with short but sharp teeth.

"It's a lizard-like monster. Be careful, it's pretty big, especially with a big mouth and sharp teeth!"

　Ray's words make many adventurers look disgusted.
　Coming out of the lake at this time was definitely an enemy.
　I can't imagine that they will come to us in such a large number in this situation and want us to play.
　On the contrary, it's obvious in the eyes that he's full of appetite.
　In other words, the monster probably came out of the lake to eat its prey.

"It's troublesome to be in a group. That huge... No, it seems like a lot of trouble, even with a long mouth."

　An adventurer standing next to Ray muttered unpleasantly with his spear in his hand.
　While nodding in agreement with the remark, Ray pulls the spear of Death Size and twilight out of Mistilling.
　Ray has no intention of losing one-on-one.
　But there was no doubt that it would be a corresponding embarrassment if it were to be attacked in a group.

"Anyway, it's an unknown monster. ... I'll ask you, but no one knows the details of that monster, right?

　Ray asks everyone there, looking at the giant lizard.
　At least Ray was unimaginable to the monster eyes.
　The adventurers simply shake their heads in silence at Ray's question.Ray sometimes goes to the library in his own way.
　There were a lot of books in the library, and there were a lot of monsters alone.
　I'm not looking at all of them, but it's still Ray's first time to see a monster that looks like he's in front of his eyes.
　Ray's mouth arcs in front of an unknown monster.

"I destroyed my head when I was in Amenbo, but if you come to the ground like this, I don't have to worry about it. Now, do you really have any magical stones... or do you think the magical stones on my head fell into the lake? Let me check them out."
"Grull!"

　At Ray's words, Seto sings with enthusiasm.
　No wonder: when he knocked down Amenbo, Seto destroyed his head and sank it into the lake.
　That being the case, it was necessary to knock down the lizard on the ground to see if the monsters living in this lake had any magical stones.

"Here he comes!"

　Suddenly Ray screams and immediately escapes.
　In an instant something flew at Ray by one of the lizards at the head of a group of lizards, something penetrates Ray's body until a moment ago.
　Ray wondered what it was, but now he had more to do.

"Just like that amenbo, he has attacks from a long distance! Be careful!"

　Shouting, Ray shouts Magic Shield and invokes his skill while holding his death size.
　A light shield that emerges out of nowhere is capable of preventing the enemy's attack, albeit only once.

(That Amenbo, the monster in this lake has a means of flying something.)

　This time Ray was able to easily avoid the attack by the lizard because of the amenbo incident.
　The Amenbo blow was a very dangerous blow, which was why Ray, who saw it, thought the lizard might launch a long-range attack like this, and it hit him beautifully.

(Tusk...?)

　Even though there are light sources such as moonlight, burning slime, and bonfire, it is still night.
　That being the case, Ray can't tell exactly what the lizard has flown.
　But still, there was definitely something white and small and sharp... if it had been blown out of my mouth, the first thing I could think of would be my fangs.

"Be careful, everyone! The enemy will fly their tusks!"

　Take note of everyone, first wait and see and die.

"Fly off!"

　With that word, a sword attack flies.
　A straightforward slash... but only by cutting the surface of a scaly lizard's body.

"It's a lie,"

　It was only natural that Ray wanted to mutter so much.
　The skill of flying death-size has increased considerably with the advancement to level.
　It has the power to cut off the body as easily as a normal lizard.
　Nevertheless, the flying lizard hit the target and cut the surface of the scaly body slightly.
　That's a testament to how defensive a lizard's body is.

"The scales are sturdy. They are excellent materials."

　The adventurer next to Ray muttered at the sight of the lizard.
　In fact, if the skin and scales of that lizard are used as materials, they will undoubtedly be strong protective equipment.
　As a pure adventurer, it's definitely a delicious game... ...as long as you can knock it down.

"Well, it's an unknown monster, and it's not a bad extra income!"

　Screaming, Ray...and the adventurers and lizard men came forward.
