"Oh, here...?"

　In the middle of the forest of Trent, Grimm muttered.
　From Ray's point of view, Grimm is a man who knows a lot of things he doesn't know.
　That's probably why he didn't expect to say such a thing just because he came to the center of Trent's forest.

"Do you feel something?"
"Well, I'm sure there's something to do with it, as you think. ... What do you do? Do you want to go with me?"

　Grimm's words confuse Ray.
　With Grimm, it seems that whatever the cause of this transition is, we can do anything about it.
　At the same time, however, it was also true that there was a feeling that it would be unsatisfactory to solve this metastasis by yourself.

"For the time being, I'd like to see it. I'll decide what to do with it. ... If there's really nothing I can do about it, can I ask Grimm?"
"I don't care, but in that case, I'll get some reward for it?"

　Grimm definitely thinks Ray is a half-grandchild, but that doesn't mean he's unconditionally spoiled.
　If you can solve this case yourself, you will receive something as a reward for this case, as I said.
　For Grimm, who is good at transition magic, it was enough to be interested in what could be transitioned to another world.
　I'm also studying how to make sure that the main material I'm currently studying exists between dimensions.
　the transition between dimensions and other worlds
　These two look alike but different.
　But as long as they are similar, they can have similar traits, and it is only natural that they should be interested in the two.

"Ah... that's a bit of a problem. I can't do anything about this case alone. If so, I'll let the lord of the manor, Mr. Dusker, know tomorrow, and I'll just wait and see. Is that all right?"
'If Ray says that's all right, that's fine as a son.'

　Grimm's words give Ray relief.
　Given Grimm's personality, perhaps... it's really possible, but he could have solved this series of events by himself, and then he could have thought that he was the one who caused this incident, or that he wanted to receive something as a reward.

"I'm sorry, so please... shall we go? Do you know exactly where and how to proceed?"
"Well..."

　At Ray's words Grimm mutters a word and sticks his stick to the ground, as if he had just found this place.
　But this time, unlike before, Ray could not feel the magic either.
　In view of the previous incident, I could have felt the magic.
　That's how Ray looks at Grimm.
　But Grimm concentrated on something even though Ray looked at him like that without showing any particular concern. . . . .

"This way,"

　If you say something out of the blue, you'll start walking.
　No, not exactly walking on the ground, but floating a little off the ground and gliding through the air would be more correct in this case.
　When I moved on a set, Grimm didn't seem particularly concerned because he was flying normally, but sliding right over the ground is not like flying.
　From Ray's point of view, there is a strong feeling that it's a very unusual way to travel.
　At any rate, he decides that now he's going to follow Grimm first, and walks out with Sett.
　Grimm doesn't move that fast in the air, perhaps because he knows Ray is following him from behind.
　If you walk a little earlier, you'll never be late.
　Then move from where you had previously fought against the boss of the Trent forest, a few minutes.
　Suddenly, the grimm stops.
　Ray watched with great interest, asking what he was going to do, but whether his gaze had tickled Grimm's self-esteem, he turned his cane -- the one not the stonemate -- to the ground with a slight movement.
　I should have wondered what was wrong with Grimm's conduct."
　with a thud
　Such pulsations spread around the space itself, which should be called vibrations.
　I don't do anything to make Ray feel magical now, as I did the second time I looked for something with my cane.
　Despite not doing so, Ray was able to feel the magic rising from Grimm's body.
　This wasn't anything special, it was simply so dense that even a person like Ray could feel the magic released from Grimm.
　In terms of increasing the density of magic, Emperor Rey's red armor, which is said to be the secret of Rey's, was similar, but Grimm's work was slightly different from that of increasing the density of magic when using Emperor Rey's red armor.
　In this case, it was appropriate to say something similar and different.

(This is...)

　Watching Grimm, Ray is shocked inside.
　At the same time, it was even Ray's best effort not to express his surprise directly.
　Seto is also preparing to take Ray out of the scene as soon as something happens, watching Grimm.
　But Grimm did not seem to have noticed any of these individuals, and he began to condense his magical powers... and suddenly he heard something heavy moving.
　Ray was alarmed by the noise, but he knew immediately what was making the noise.
　Because the ground where Grimm is pointing his cane is turned upside down.
　...yes. It was a scene where the expression of flipping up was appropriate.
　The sight of the ground turning up on its own is a kind of strange to Ray's eyes, who has repeatedly used his topographical skills.
　Ray and Sett stare at such a scene.
　The ground turned completely up, and I noticed that there was a hole leading to the basement... a road.

"This is..."

　Ray's words are exactly the same as those he couldn't say a few seconds ago.
　But in Ray's eyes, Grimm's actions were more than expected.
　I didn't confirm it thoroughly, but what Grimm did seemed to Ray to have probably forced a hole in the ground with magic.
　without recitation
　You didn't exactly use magic, you just used magic to bring about this result.

'Whoa, whoa. Did you get surprised? This is one of the things I got from looking at that eye-catching monster.'
"...what and how did you come to this after examining those eyes?"

　As far as Ray knows, that eye-popping ability is free access between dimensions and the world, and to create monsters with its seemingly infinite tentacles and sacrifices.
　There is no doubt that there were many great attacks, but these are the three special abilities.
　Among the three, there is no such thing as increasing the density of magic and physically affecting the object itself.

(If I may dare to say, how did he manage to produce monsters by preparing sacrifices, and instead of producing monsters, he changed the density of his magical powers? No, is it a little unreasonable?)

　Or did they even create magic items that create infinite magic from infinitely growing tentacles? But that seemed unreasonable.

'I'm afraid I can't teach Ray this, either. In the first place, this is a byproduct of his original purpose.'
"By-products... of this kind?"

　If he had dug up the place where he had been hiding the passageway, he could still manage to... quite forcefully, but he was convinced.
　But what Ray saw was that Grimm had dug up the dirt on the empty ground and forced it to its intended location... to the site of the recent metastasis.
　Even if such a tremendous power is said to be a byproduct, Ray is not honest enough to be convinced.
　I don't, but... it's true that if Grimm says so, he'll be strangely believed.

"Um"

　a grimm that sounds natural and short
　Looking at Grimm like that, I don't think he's lying or exaggerating.

"Ah... well, for the time being, I understand. I don't think I'll understand anything here. And the problem is this passageway."Forced into convincing himself, Ray turns his eyes to Seto.
　Grimm's aisle was fine if Ray or Grimm moved, but it was very difficult for Setto to pass through.

"If you resize it, you can put it in... but I don't know how far it will last."
"Glu".

　Resizing is the skill of reducing the size of Seto's body, but the problem is how long it lasts.
　As long as you can't be that size forever, if you're down the aisle and resize, you'll be in trouble.

"Then I think Seto needs to stay here."
"Guru..."

　Ray's words make Seto cry regretfully.
　Still, he wouldn't force himself to go with him because he thought he might bother Ray by being rude.
　In fact, if the set were to return to its original size and block the road, Grimm would have to use his magic to create a new aisle.
　Or extend the passageway to a size that the set can pass through.
　I wonder if I should have chosen a passage that was large enough for the set to pass through from the beginning.

"I'm sorry, Seto. Maybe I'll have Gilm fly back to you as soon as I get back. ... No, should I do it tomorrow morning?"

　If there really is anything important ahead of him about the transition from another world, as Grimm said, it is certain that Dusker should be informed as soon as possible.
　But now it's already night.
　Naturally, you can't get into the guillem at this hour.
　... Seto can force his way in from the sky, but if he does so, he'll have a lot of trouble.
　However, the case of metastasis is not just about Gilm, but also about the country.
　With that in mind, there was no doubt that it would be better to inform them as soon as soon as possible.

"Well, I don't know if it's tonight or tomorrow morning, but I'll have you go to Gilm, so be it."
"Grull".

　Seth, who cries out, lies down by the passageway leading to the basement.
　Don't let anyone follow the laymen.
　With Ray and Grimm there's no doubt that there's nothing we can do if most of the opponents attack us.
　I knew that, but that's all I could do with my present set.

"Thank you,"

　Ray understands Sett's feelings and says a short thank you.
　To such Ray, Seto answered with a slight wagging of his tail.

(I think it means something like "I want you to come back soon.")

　Understanding the meaning of Seto's actions, Ray turns to Grimm.

"Well, shall we go? ... I don't need to ask Grimm, but it's all right to explore places like this?"
'Of course. Did you forget where he first met Ray?'

　If you say so, Ray can only nod honestly.
　Because Ray met Grimm for the first time in Danjung, where there was an altar of succession.

"Oh, come to think of it, yes. And since then, Grimm has been based in Dungeon. Then there was no need to worry about it."
"Well, then, there's no need to worry about it. ... Well, it's no use talking here forever. Shall we go?"
"All right. Then, set. I've left it to you."
"Gruly!"

　Seth, who screamed at Ray's words, seemed to say, "Leave this place to yourself!"

(No, I don't think so.)

　Cutting off the thoughts that are in you, shake your head.
　You don't have to go out of your way to say that in this situation.
　It's not like any monster is attacking us.
　Ray would then step in with Grimm into the underground passageway.
