2115 Episode 215



The newly arrived lizardmen readily agreed to fall under the control of Gaga and Zozo.
 That being said, it's only natural.
 The five new lizards need to act on their own if they are not under the control of Gaga or Zozo.
 We end up acting on our own in a completely unfamiliar place, or a place where we can't even communicate.
 If they have the strength of Gaga, maybe they can manage it by themselves.
 But it's extremely difficult if the lizards are asked if they can imitate it in this situation.
 Looking back on the future, it was only natural for Gaga and Zozo to come under their control.
 And at night...Everyone eats while watching out for the lake.
 Today is another day, and Ray smacks at the food he took out of the mystery ring.
 Still, many people check the lake over and over again at dinner because of the large number of lizard monsters that came out yesterday.

"And what are the new lizard men like?"

 While eating a stew of wild vegetables and wild boar meat, Ray asks Zozo.

'I wonder if there was any particular problem, though I was wondering what that burning thing was.'
"Ah... that's it."

 Ray, who followed Zozo's gaze, found slime that was still burning.
 It still doesn't seem to burn, nor does the burning flame disappear.
 Now that night has come and the sun has gone, it is functioning as a light source.

"And? What did you say?"
'Mr. Ray burned the slime that came out of this lake, but he didn't seem to burn at all, so he said he was leaving it alone now.'
"... I see,"

 Suddenly, Ray remembered some lizard-men staring in awe at him as he was preparing his meal -- just putting the food out of the mistling on the plate.
 Lizzardmen often looked up to him in admiration because he beat Gaga in mock battles, but he rarely looked down on him in awe.
 That's why I conclude that those lizards were probably the ones who came today.

"First of all, be careful of monsters in the lake. I don't know how strong the metastasized lizard is, but it's definitely weaker than Zozo and Gaga, right?"
'Well, I think I'm way down here in the metastasized lizard man, because he hasn't been a soldier for long.'
"Are you a recruits.

 Couldn't you see my ability?
 While thinking so, I'm relieved that Seto's appearance didn't intimidate the other person and force them to act in vain.
 Even Ray has no choice but to fight back if his opponent attacks him.
 I didn't mean to kill him at all costs because I didn't understand what the other side was thinking because I couldn't communicate with him.

'Yes. So I have a lot to tell you.'
"It looks like a lot of people are having a hard time, but aren't there a lot of people who like it?"
'I won't deny it,'

 The lizards who now live in this tower of birth basically have nothing to do.
 I had the task of guarding the tower of my birth, but it was very rare for anyone to attack me.
 Having a track record of being attacked by mercenaries, it is impossible to do anything at all, but there is still nothing to be done in the name of escort.
 That's why teaching and training newcomers is such a great waste of time.

(Oh, but given the possibility of monsters coming from the lake, are you completely alert? ... Well, with Seto, you'll soon be able to detect the enemy's attempt to attack you.)

 Since Seto has the ability to feel the five senses, sixth senses, and magical powers that are very high compared to humans, it is easy to detect lizards coming from the lake like yesterday.
 That's why Ray was able to rely on Sett to guard his surroundings.
 In this case, it is a great achievement that someone has repeatedly sensed signs of metastasis.

"Anyway, tell me not to be off guard on the lake. I don't know what kind of monsters there are yet. The scholars have looked into it, but it's still near the shore. Come to think of it, you've left, have you?"

 Scholars in the face of unknown beings came as far as this lake as they did yesterday.
 Ray paid no particular attention to scholars because they were more interested in the lake than in Ray and Sett.
 Adventurers and some of the lizard men also cooperated with such scholars, but Ray and Sett had no hand there.

"Yes, I went home in the carriage that brought me supplies."
"Well... I'll ask you, but there's no one left, is there?

 Scholars are often curious.
 At least the scholars who came to this lake were curious.
 Otherwise, they wouldn't eat fish they'd never seen before or touch shellfish they'd never seen before.

'They're all home. ... Some of them seem to have wanted to stay here.

 It seems that those who brought supplies safely brought them home.

"Then there's no problem. That's enough. Enjoy your meal, too."
'All right,'

 I'd rather be on Ray's side, to be honest.
 However, he understands that it is not good for him to be on Ray's side all the time, so he nods honestly to Ray's words.
 So when he sees Zozo leave, Ray leaves the scene after a glance at the people still eating.
 The magic tent is heading tent.
 The question I had today was... that I wanted to ask Grimm if he had any intentions from another world, or if they were really random, but if they were spreading.
 ...and this transition also has the meaning of checking for Grimm's involvement.
 I asked him if it was Grimm's work before, and he said no, but if the transition continues... and if the transition continues, as far as Ray knows, only Grimm can do it.
 That's why I wanted to ask again just in case.
 There is a good possibility that some kind of magic item is working or it's established as ritual magic before Grimm realizes it.
 In that sense, there was plenty of reason to talk to Grimm again.

"Seto, if anyone tries to get into the magic tent on their own, stop it. If you're calling from outside the tent, don't worry."
"Gruly!"

 Rey's words make Seto cry.
 After caressing such a set, Ray enters the magic tent.
 Then, when you enter the magic tent, you pull out a pair of oves that are connected to the Grimm.

"Grimm, Grimm. Can you hear me, Grimm?"

 After several calls, Ray's already familiar face -- the skull, to be exact -- was projected on the pair of oves.

"Well, Ray? What's the matter?"

 There's nothing particularly surprising about Ray contacting me.
 ...I tried not to express my joy, but it was impossible to tell him to look at the grimm on his skull.

"I've got something to talk to you about. You talked about Lizardman the other day, didn't you?"
"Well, it's about giving you a slate, isn't it?"
"Oh, but the metastasis hasn't subsided since then, not to mention the Lizard Man and the Greens, but to some of the Lizard Man's country's palaces, or even to the huge lakes themselves in the world different from where the Lizard Man was there."'...ho,'

 After a few seconds of silence, Grimm says something interesting.
 For Grimm, who is good at transition magic, it must be very interesting to see it spread from another world, not from one world.

'Is it certain that it has spread from another world?'
"At least, the zozos said they didn't know about the lake, and the monsters that came out of the lake were many unknown monsters, and above all, monsters don't have magical stones."
"Ho" (literally, "ho" in Japanese)

 Grimm's mouth again sounds interesting.
 Since I'm an undead and categorically a monster, I guess I'm very interested in monsters without magical stones.
 Given Grimm's personality, there was a good chance that he would have been interested, even if he wasn't a monster.

"So I'm going to ask Grimm again about the metastasis. Wasn't there any reason why the metastasis magic was actually activated before Grimm realized it?"
"What if he did such a thing.

 a slightly grumpy Grimm
 It's only natural for Grimm to say that he doesn't manage the materials and magic items he has.
 It's fair to say that this is all we can do because we'really, we're dealing with Ray.
 If someone who wasn't close had said that, it would have been natural for him to spread out and kill him.

"I've just asked him about the eye-catching material, and so on. ... Then there's another reason. Can you give me your guess?"
"I don't care,"

 Seeing Grimm nod, Ray says what he has come up with.
 that some part of the forest of Trent... or the forest of Trent itself... has transferred the existence of lizardmen, greens, the towers of birth, and lakes from other worlds.
 That said, it's not something definite, it's just Ray's idea.
 When Grimm hears such an explanation, he thinks a little on the other side of the pair of oves.
 That attitude was a little surprising to Ray, as it seemed unlikely that he would have been rejected.

"...what do you think?"
'There's no possibility. Guillum is a remote area, so anything could happen. Isn't the forest of Trent, where Ray is now, a normal forest?'
"Well, I was just going to knock down the man who seems to have caused this forest of Trent."

 While exhaling, I once again feel the irrationality of the frontier.
 Everything is explained because it's a frontier.

(But I'm often convinced by the reason that it's Ray, and isn't it that strange? Of course, that's not funny.)

 I think so, but now I'm not going to care, so I change my mind.

"Then do you think this forest of Trent is the most suspicious?"
"I can't say for sure, for he doesn't know the forest of Trent, but if he thinks it's possible, he'll be suspicious enough."

 Should I ask you to come to the forest of Trent and have Grimm examine it?"
 Not surprisingly, Ray knows that Grimm is busy experimenting with eye-catching materials.
 Grimm opens his mouth to Ray, who thought he couldn't force him to come this far.

'All right. The forest of Trent, where you live, is a little interesting. May I go and look into it a little?'
"What? No, I'd be saved if you could do that... Is that OK? You've been studying a lot of things with that eye-catching monster material."

 That's why Ray was holding back contact.
 But at Rey's words, Grimm shakes his head, saying that there is no problem.

'It's true that the research was a little stalled. I don't mind going to see the forest of Trent as a relaxation.'
"Are you okay? I don't mind it because it's going to help me.
'I don't care, because you say you like her. I want to see Ray's face in person.'
"... well, if that's the case, I don't mind. No, it's almost as good as I wish."

 For Ray, if Grimm wanted to come here, he wouldn't refuse it.
 He would talk to Grimm with a smile to welcome him.
