2112 Episode 212.



The day after I flew through the sky and encountered a jellyfish with no hostility... everyone seemed very sleepy at breakfast that day.
 It's only natural. I was woken up in the middle of the night that it might be an enemy attack.
 As a result, the watchman found the light of a jellyfish, and many people were fascinated by the jellyfish brought by Ray, who had gone to see how the light was like.
 In reality, jellyfish have not been dancing in front of adventurers for long.
 The reason why so many people still seem to be so sleepy is probably because the way jellyfish dance was so fantastic and strongly retained in their minds.
 I was so excited by the sight that I could hardly sleep.
 The adventurers, who would often sleep outside and in some cases in the field during requests, would have been enough to get excited about the glowing jellyfish dancing.

"What I saw yesterday was not a dream, was it?"
"Oh, I remember, too. If it wasn't a hallucination, it would definitely have been true. And as long as Ray and Sett were there, you could think that someone would have shown you a vision."

 The words make the adventurer look at Ray and Sett.
 Many other adventurers seem quite sleepy, but unlike others, Ray doesn't seem particularly sleepy.
 Ray was woken up in the middle of the night yesterday... and despite seeing jellyfish like the rest of the adventurers.
 No, when it comes to seeing jellyfish, I rode the set directly to the place where the jellyfish were infested, so it shouldn't be strange if they were more impressive than other adventurers.
 That is to say, it's no wonder he can't sleep as excited as any other adventurer, and it must have been hard in the morning... Ray is very normal.
 This is due to a kind of trait of ray.
 If this is when you're not asked to do anything, it's no wonder you're going to sleep again, or you'll be in a trance for a while after you wake up.
 But now in the middle of a request, Ray can wake up naturally.
 Then Ray woke up a little earlier than others and enjoyed contacting Sett while preparing breakfast.
 Of course, it was also a semi-watchman to react quickly when something happened.
 At any rate, the adventurers all prepare for the morning, wondering whether to admire Ray or not.
 ...but basically Ray prepares breakfast, so there's no need to hurry up and prepare anything.
 If it wasn't for Ray, it would be like boiling water, baking bread and meat, making simple soups, etc., or eating preserved foods like dried meat.

"Wow, it smells good... Ray, what is this?"

 What Ray served for breakfast was oak meat... not just oak meat, but soup with bacon.
 Bacon, classified as a preserved food, still tastes different from salty meat.
 The bacon used in this soup is naturally a reasonably expensive alternative because it is served at a reasonably high price.
 The soup, full of such bacon and vegetables, seemed to resemble pork soup in Ray's eyes.
 It's not that miso is used for seasoning, bacon is used instead of pork, and vegetables are very different from the usual pork soup Ray knows.
 Still, when I drank it, it seemed like pork soup... Western-style pork soup.
 That's just what Ray thought.
 Anyway, Ray, who liked the soup in such a fashion, paid a little more to buy the whole pot.
 Ray's favorite soup was served in this way, too, because of last night's incident of flying jellyfish.

(When it comes to pork soup, I'd like rice balls, after all, but I've never seen rice around here... It's not that it doesn't go well with bread because it's a Western-style soup.)

 While enjoying the flavor of bacon and the sweetness of vegetables in the soup, Ray is deeply impressed.
 Others were drinking such soup, saying it was delicious.
 While eating, we discuss today's schedule.

"I think we must inform Mr. Dusker of last night's incident,"

 It was a knight who said so while eating bread.
 With all that fuss, there's no option not to let Dusker know about it.
 In this case, the question will be what to do with jellyfish.
 At the very least, the jellyfish drifting by Ray's side last night were not going to attack him and could be said to be friendly.
 Given the circumstances around that time, Ray wanted to be as friendly as possible with jellyfish, and others here... those who saw jellyfish last night with their own eyes agreed with him.
 I don't know if everyone really agrees.
 I don't know, but it's still true that no one ostensibly opposed it.

"Tell Mr. Dusker, if possible, to be friendly."
"... No, that's Ray. It's where I want to go, but it doesn't taste good that there's no one here like Dusker. And Ray needs to carry the Trent forest trees, right? For some reason yesterday, the trees that were cut down in the afternoon will have accumulated very little."
"Slip,"

 It was an unerring fact.
 The tower and lake incident temporarily interrupted the logging of Trent's forest, and the construction materials used in the extensions currently underway in Guillum...the construction materials that had been magically processed using alchemy on the trees cut in Trent's forest were in short supply.
 That's why the woodcutters were rushing to work after the work resumed.
 As the lake had spread, some people were afraid that the work of the woodcutter might be called off again."Fortunately it didn't happen.
 As a Dusker, it would be honest to say that he wanted to be absent from work as a woodcutter.
 But when there is a brawl due to lack of building materials, we cannot help but let the woodcutters do their jobs.
 As a result, the woodcutter continued to work even after the lake had metastasized.
 though woodcutters and their bodyguards and footmen are forbidden to approach the lake... and the tower of birth.
 It was not yet clear whether it was related or just a coincidence, but it was no longer possible for greens or lizards to spread after the lake had spread.
 Though Ray could not tell whether this was a lack of energy or something to metastasize, or simply a coincidence, as the greats like lakes and towers of birth have metastasized.

"So, please carry the tree and report it to Mr. Dusker. ... To be honest, if anything happens again without Ray and Sett, it would be a disaster."

 The knight who tells you so is probably thinking of last night's jellyfish.
 a sudden appearance of light in and above a lake
 We had Ray and Sett move to confirm it, but if Ray and Sett were not here yesterday, how could we confirm that light?
 If no one could fly without Seto, we wouldn't have known what that light meant.
 Swimming closer may have been an option, but having been attacked by amenbo and long-mouthed lizards, swimming in the lake in the middle of the night is tantamount to suicide.
 In other words, if Ray and Sett were not there, they could only see the light of the jellyfish from afar.
 Fortunately, jellyfish were friendly.
 But what if they were hostile?
 Those waiting here will be at a disadvantage if they compare themselves to the enemy, who are free to use the bulwark of water and will attack them with great readiness.
 With that in mind, it was the Knight's real intention to have Ray and Sett here.
 At the same time, I understand that there are many others who need Ray and Sett.
 That's why we decided to turn to Ray and Sett for this case.

"If it's Seto's speed, you can get back here from Gilmoo right?"
"I don't deny it,"

 In fact, it's true that you can travel from Gillum to here in less than a minute, in some cases.
 It will take a lot more time in the guillem than moving.
 Alchemists, in particular, are still very interested in Ray's eye-catching material.

"Well, I asked you. That jellyfish was friendly to me, but you know it's going to be a trouble if someone who doesn't know about it makes a strange idea."

 The remark was understandable to Ray.
 Yesterday was a friendly jellyfish, but something strange... if anyone catches a rare monster and tries to sell it to someone who doesn't attack it, I don't think they'll respond the same way as yesterday.
 In order to prevent this from happening, we still had to talk to Dusker thoroughly."

(Oh, but I don't know if yesterday's jellyfish were in the middle of the lake... or not, but they were far from here. So if someone is trying to poach jellyfish, they have to be good enough to fly or swim and do something about monsters?)

 I think so, but if you think about the friendliness of the jellyfish in the first place and remember yesterday, you might approach them if you found someone on the shore.
 Then there was no doubt that we should do something about it.

"OK. Then, when I finish eating this, I'll collect the trees that I fell with Seto and go to Gilm. If anything happens, don't ask."

 When he told the knight, Ray enjoyed the taste of Western-style pork soup.





"I see,"

 the office of the lord's house in GilmAfter handing over the wood to the alchemists, Ray came to the lord's house and explained what happened last night.
 Not only about jellyfish, but also about lizard monsters attacking in groups, and how the lizard monsters had no magical stones.
 The words that came out of Dusker's mouth when he heard those explanations are now at a loss.
 There have been a lot of troubles, but it's not surprising that it's become more troublesome.
 But the good news of the misfortune is that you might have expected the lake monster to be free of magical stones when you heard about the Amenbo incident yesterday.
 It was troublesome to see new monsters without magical stones, but as long as I knew there were monsters without magical stones, I was not so shocked.
 The jellyfish case was troublesome to say it was troublesome, but as long as they are friendly to the lay people, they don't need urgent attention.
 Of course, as Ray and the knights were worried about, we can't leave them completely alone in terms of whether anyone would poach.
 Given the current situation, I'm very grateful that the situation is something you can leave behind for now.
 It's true, at least, that it's much better than a sudden need for judgment.
 ...but it's almost certain that there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

"And what shall I do?"
"Shining jellyfish are friendly to us, aren't they? Then you don't have to force them to do something here, but don't forget that they're monsters, even if they're friendly now, they don't always be."
"From what I've seen, that's what I think it's going to be all the way, but anyway, I understand what you mean by Mr. Dusker. Do you mean wait and see?"
"Oh, but if there's anyone who touches the jellyfish, stop it as much as you can. As long as they're friendly, I don't want to break it. ... In some cases, I don't mind killing someone who did something strange."

 Ray nodded back to Dasker's sharp words.
