"Then, congratulations on the safe end of the day... Cheers!"
'Cheers!'

 At the same time as Ray's words, everyone looks happy, hitting each other with a cup and bringing it to their mouths and drinking.
 ...but as long as I have to keep watch tonight, I can't afford to drink.
 Therefore, what everyone has in their cups is cold fruit water.
 Even so, the reason why those who drink seem happy is probably because it's night and it's not cool yet.
 The heat is so hot that if you move a little, you'll sweat a little, perhaps move a little, you'll sweat a little.
 As long as there is a lake nearby, it might be a little cooler.
 Anyway, because it's so hot, I guess I was happy enough with cold fruit water instead of alcohol.

"Even so, I can't believe I've destroyed five organizations behind the slums. "I can understand because it's Ray's job, but I'm more surprised."

 One of the men who was eating by Ray's side says so with a hearty smile.
 Here are the adventurers who are reasonably skilled and trusted by the guild.
 Therefore, I know naturally that there are many behind-the-scenes organizations in the slums, and I know how powerful such organizations are.
 That's why it was impossible not to be surprised if Ray was told that he destroyed five such organizations in one day.

"Really? Isn't it possible for a guy here to destroy the organization?"

 Not only the man who was talking to Ray... but also the other man has a subtle expression on his face.
 As Ray said, anyone here will be able to fight evenly against the behind-the-scenes organizations.
 However, it's not a head-on battle like Ray did, but rather a guerrilla war and defeating one or several members of the enemy organization one by one.
 Also, there are many organizations that are reasonably strong, perhaps because they are from behind-the-scenes organizations.
 If we fight against such a person, it is doubtful whether we can win one-on-one.

"We are confident that we will be able to do more than a certain amount of work. But I can't do anything like you to fight head-on and destroy the organization."
"Is that the case? ... Well, that's fine. ...but wouldn't it be better to do something about it?"

 Suddenly Ray's gaze turned to a man near Anastasia.
 I'm trying to talk to Anastasia, but I can't really talk to her, perhaps because I don't have the courage.
 Ray isn't the only one watching the man like that.
 Some others are also looking at the situation.

"He's such a good adventurer that he's been sent here."

 with a sigh
 One of the adventurers who was eating boiled oak meat on Ray's side said in amazement.

"I understand what you mean, but some people say it's easier to fight when you defeat enemies and talk to women you fall in love with. ... Well, someone seems to only talk about beautiful women."

 Another adventurer says meaningfully, looking at Ray.
 Ray, who was stared at, knew what the other person meant.
 Elena, Marina, and Vihera, all three of whom have different directions but are incredibly beautiful, and they are also acting together.
 Under such circumstances, I understand that I can be looked at with jealousy.
 ...but I honestly didn't think it would be a good idea to include Arla and Beune among the Elena, let alone the three of them who were well received.
 Arla is working with Ray as a close aide to Elena, and Bune is working with him because Vihera is working with Ray.
 Of course, Arla and Bune also like Ray, but that favor is not only for men and women, but also for friends and friends.
 More precisely, Arla is recognized as a lover of Elena, and Bune as someone who gives her food.
 But... I don't think I can explain that well, and above all, it's a different story whether the other person will be satisfied with that explanation.
 No matter what Ray says, Arla is a daughter of an aristocrat and has the right features to call her a beautiful woman, and Bune is becoming a womanly figure, perhaps because she can eat as much as she wants these days.
 Whatever the truth, it was natural in a sense to be jealous of Ray, who was working with such people.
 What's more, all the adventurers here are men.
 That's why I feel even more jealous of Ray.
 Still, only those who are trusted by the guild are here, so it must have been fortunate for Ray not to have been able to make a fool of himself, such as fighting Ray out of jealousy.

"First of all, I'm sure you were busy today."
"I see. Then I might be busy again tomorrow."

 Ray has some doubts about the way he asks as if he is certain.
 But before Ray can ask about it, the man goes to talk to another adventurer.
 I wasn't wondering if I should follow up and listen more closely, but I'm determined that if I try to hear something here, I won't say anything as far as I can see.

"Good job, Ray."

 Zozo approaches me, uses the tablet I have, and talks to me like that.

"Oh, was there anything strange about the Lizardmen today?"
『No, especially this. Everyone was living peacefully.』 My elder brother was a little excited.'
"That's the same as usual, isn't it? It's all right if ... I just thought something might have happened about the lake."

 As he says so, Ray looks at the huge slime that is still burning.
 How many days have passed since Ray tried to burn that slime?
 That's exactly how long it's been burning, even the magical Ray can't tell.
 ...even if you say it will burn forever, Ray can still believe it now.

"What about Lizardman's children?"
『No problem.』 He's running around energetically. It is very helpful not to be frightened or alarmed by the adventurers of this world."
"I guess that's because I'm a child and I have a strong curiosity. If it had not been for that, what would have happened?"

 Adventurers since childhood... If they could live in this world instead of the one where the Zozos were, they wouldn't want to be hostile to the people in this world in the future.
 No, you may be hostile for some reason, but you don't have to worry about being hostile without any questions or answers.

『I hope so.』 ...I hope this is a wonderful world for us, too.'

 Ray looks mysteriously at Zozo, who looks away and says so.
 Why on earth did you come to say that?
 ...but I don't think Zozo thinks Ray is thinking like that either.

"Anyway, there is some peace around here now. To be honest, I'm happy about this."
'Well, the Lizardmen are getting used to it somehow.'

 Zozo briefly tells Ray's words...and Gaga shows up.
 As usual, Gaga showed her height of 3 meters.
 For a moment, Zozo and Gaga exchange words.
 ...if anything, Gaga was asking Zozo to do something, and Zozo seemed to be refusing Gaga's request... to Ray's eyes.
 However, I didn't really know what it was like from Ray's point of view.

(No, but I don't think it's that much of a mistake. ...I'm starting to have a slightly bad feeling.)

 Ray thought so from the appearance of Gaga and Zozo, but as if to show Ray's words, Zozo opens his mouth with a sigh and the words are translated by lithography.

"Mr. Ray, actually, my older brother wants to have a mock battle with Mr. Ray. without weapons, with bare hands."
"... I see,"

 Ray isn't that dissatisfied with having a mock battle with Gaga.However, the height difference between Ray and Gaga is too big when it comes to bare hands without weapons.

(Considering Gaga's personality, I don't think she's going to fight against me and win. If that's the case, I think it's better to think there's another reason. I wonder what it is.)

 Ray looks at Gaga with such doubts.
 Gaga took Ray's gaze head-on.
 Then for a few seconds.
 Eventually, Ray exhales briefly and then opens his mouth.

"Okay, let's do it."
'Are you all right?'
"Oh, I don't think I'll pull it off as far as I can see."

 Ray knew that she was fighting for some reason, not just for fun.
 If that is the case, we will decide that we can at least listen to their requests and return so.
 ...I was, in fact, quite honestly, busy today and wanting to sleep well.
 Knowing Ray has taken on a mock battle, Zozo talks something to Gaga in Lizardman's words.
 Ray doesn't understand what Lizardman said.
 However, considering the current situation, I understand what you are talking about.

"Mr. Ray, my brother wants to do it right away."
"Okay. Then... I'll do it over there. Fortunately, there are no clouds today, so if there is moonlight, the light will be enough."

 The light in this case is for Gaga, not Ray.
 Ray has good night vision, so at this level of darkness he can act without any problems.
 Even if you can't see at night, the slime may be burning and the light may be adequate.

"That doesn't matter."

 Ray nods to Zozo's words as he interprets with Gaga and leaves.
 Naturally, Gaga follows Ray.
 No, not only that, but also the adventurers who had been eating dinner until a while ago follow Ray.
 Among them are Anastasia and Fana, and next to them are the adventurers who have hesitated to speak to Anastasia for a while, perhaps because they have succeeded in speaking to her in the current flow.
 People around me are looking at me saying that I'm doing well, but he doesn't seem to care at all.
 Such a group is far enough away from the place where the bonfire is being built.
 Ray then confronts Gaga.
 A short distance from Ray and Gaga, each of them is watching a mock battle with food in their hands.
 Face each other, for a few seconds.
 Gaga kicks forward.
 Gaga wields her fist with her huge body.
 Naturally, Ray's reach is short without long objects such as death-size and twilight spears.
 In a sense, Ray's battle can be said to cover the short limbs that come from his own short stature.
 Gaga naturally understands that, so she's probably attacking Ray this way to keep him away.
 But... even if Ray's attack doesn't hit by a reach difference, it's only if he attacks from the same place.
 Ray walks into Gaga's pocket, avoiding enemy attacks.
 Contrary to her gigantic stature, Gaga's attacks are not slow at all.
 He is a lizard who has nothing to do with the word udo no oki.
 But for Ray, it's not fast at all.
 I tried to get into Gaga's pocket and stick out my fist...

"Hey!"

 Break away from the scene with the sudden sound of cutting the wind.
 ...and yet, she's shrewd around hitting Gaga's body with a fist before she leaves.
 However, the power is not so strong as it is only one shot while evacuating.
 No, if this was a normal opponent, it would have done a lot of damage, but this time it wasn't such a powerful blow because the opponent was Gaga.
 And the moment after Ray retreated, Gaga's elbows pierced Ray's space... and they confronted each other in silence.
