"Guru..."

　Seto makes a bewildered cry before a giant water wolf.
　When Ray suddenly approached this water wolf without attacking him, he objected to Ray's safety, but he didn't think it would really work.
　That's what I've come up to. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　Despite the bewildered Seto, Ray talks to the water wolf.

"I have no intention of opposing you. Maybe Gaga and I fought by the lake, which stimulated you... I didn't mean that."
「……」

　Ray doesn't even know if he understands the language or if he' 　
　But there was no doubt a high intelligence in the eyes of the water wolf.
　Ray thinks it's possible to persuade a wolf without fighting.
　If we fight, we will eventually win.
　But what is needed to win in such a way is the demise of the lake itself.
　A lake that has been transferred from another world is rare even in this world.
　Ray wanted to avoid making it disappear if possible.
　That's why I wanted to talk to the water wolf.
　The giant water wolf in front of us is obviously highly intelligent from Ray's point of view.
　In terms of power, you may be defeated by the giant slime that is still burning by the lake, but instinct alone is completely different from the giant water wolf in front of you.
　Ray looked at the burning slime for a moment, but suddenly the water wolf looked at the burning slime following Ray's gaze.
　Ray doesn't know what he thought when he saw the slime.
　However, the water wolf understood that Ray in front of him made slime that way.
　For water wolves whose bodies are water from the lake, Ray, who normally uses fire, is an easy opponent to defeat even if he is hostile.
　But... it's just a matter of course.
　In fact, even the shoulder of a water wolf's front leg was destroyed in an instant.
　Even waterwolves could fully understand that it was not an easy opponent to fight against.
　Under such circumstances, if they don't want to be hostile, I wouldn't bother to be a water wolf.

"...wow."

　Seeing Ray, a water wolf makes a short sound.
　In an instant, a small water wolf fighting adventurers, lizardmen, and knights by the lake, all of which become water without preserving the shape of wolves, creating a number of pools on the ground.
　For those who were fighting against water wolves, the opponent who was fighting suddenly disappeared into the water.
　Quite a bit unexpected... some of them fell down while trying to attack because they became water and disappeared during the attack.
　Also, if a water wolf becomes water, we cannot be careless.
　The water turned into a water wolf - to be exact, a giant water wolf had sprung from the water that made up his body - and attacked him.
　The waterwolves scattered on the ground as water, and it didn't have to be waterwolves.

"Did Ray do it?"
"I think so, but look at that."

　One of the adventurers glanced toward the lake and found a giant water wolf standing there.
　It's not like Ray defeated a giant water wolf, as he said, "Did Ray do it?"
　Then, many people wonder why the water wolf stopped the attack...

"Hey, by any chance Ray... never tamed that giant water wolf, right?"

　Words that can normally be ridiculed as idiots.
　However, Ray has a track record of taming the Gryphon set, and it was also true that as long as he was an adventurer with a different name, he could do that much.
　Also, since there is a fact that the water wolf attacking them stopped the attack and returned to the water, everyone looks at Ray and the water wolf at a distance wondering if it might be...
　In the midst of this, it is Zozo who has a slightly complicated expression on his face.
　Zozo is also ostensibly treated as Ray's temed lizardman, though not exactly.
　Nevertheless, Lizardman, who has spread like the Zozos, has established a policy that Dusker recognizes and treats his human rights as a human being.
　It is still treated as a monster, but in the future it will be treated as an elf, a dwarf, or a beast.
　In that sense, Zozo would not eventually be treated as Ray's time monster.

"Anyway, if you don't have to fight against waterwolves, then there's no problem."

　One of the adventurers muttered with a keen look.
　The water wolf itself is weak.
　That's why the speed and offensive power were considerable, but if the body was crushed or amputated, it would become water and scatter on the ground, so it was very vulnerable to being hit.
　In terms of overall combat power, it would be a little better than the goblins.
　For such monsters, it's not difficult for people here to defeat them, who have all the best adventurers.
　The problem was the number.
　Even if you can knock them down with one stroke, two, three, four waterwolves are born and increased while you kill one of them.
　With Ray and Seto moving, a certain number of waterwolves were born there, but only to a certain extent.
　He was a water wolf that could be called paper, but as long as he was able to attack, he had to avoid it or defend it.

"Anyway... I'm sure Ray saved me."

　One of the adventurers muttered and everyone nodded to the words.





"Well, did you understand that we are not enemies?"

　Seeing each of the little waterwolves born from the giant waterwolves return to the water, Ray asks to confirm.
　At Ray's words, the water wolf was staring at Ray, not responding in particular.

"Ah... well, you know we're not enemies for the time being, right?"
"One."

　a short wolves, as if responding to Ray's words
　Ray wondered for a moment where the vocal cords were in his body made of water, but if he were to say so, it would be impossible for Seto to fly the giant body with his current wings alone.
　Perhaps it is because such unreasonable things can be done normally that this is a fantasy world of swords and magic.

"Yes, I know. They stopped attacking us. ...and you mean you're a monster who lives in this lake?"

　Ray went on to ask, but the water wolf doesn't answer the question.
　Are you not willing to answer, or do you not understand Ray's words?

(No, I can't answer if I don't understand the language when I hear something like that, but I answered normally earlier. If so... is there any other reason?)

　In the face of the water wolf, Ray questions.
　For the time being, we have been stopped from opposing each other, but what will happen in the future?
　There was such a question in Ray.

(The best result is to persuade this water wolf to join us. ...it doesn't matter if it's time or something like that. What is appropriate is basically to stay out of each other's care. And the worst thing is... to be hostile.

　The existence of water wolves is extremely intelligent, even though they are monsters from other worlds.
　If you are interested in monsters or simply want to learn more about them as a scholar, there is no doubt that water wolves are very interesting.
　And... at what should be called the base base around the Tower of Birth, there is the figure of Anastasia, the scholar of Elf.
　For Anastasia, if waterwolves are so knowledgeable, they will definitely be interested.
　Ray was trying to lick his whiskers and taste them, reminiscent of Anastasia, something he couldn't think of in his good looks.

(Yes, I'm sure Anastasia will be interested if she learns more about waterwolves. You might think that this lake has some meaning as long as it has been transferred by that Whisp.)

　Never let Anastasia and the water wolf come into contact.
　Thinking so, Ray pulls the block of oak out of the mystery.
　As long as the body is made up of water, it is not known whether or not to eat oak meat, but the wolf looks like a wolf as the name suggests. ...but Ray was the one who named the water wolf, so I don't know if it's appropriate to say it's just as the name suggests.
　Anyway, when I take out a block of oak meat, hoping to be a little friendly with the water wolf, the water wolf shows a false interest in the block of oak meat, which has not responded to most of Ray's words.

"Wow?"

　a water wolf sniffing at a block of oak in Ray's hand.
　I didn't even wonder if Ray could smell his body when it was made up of water, but it seemed to me that he was smelling well.

"Can you eat?"
"Guru..."At Ray's words, not the water wolf... but Seto grunts slightly dissatisfiedly.
　This block of meat should have been meat eaten by Seto.
　Of course, this isn't the only meat in Ray's mystery ring.
　It contains more meat than you can eat.
　Still, Seto didn't want to be eaten meat by water wolves.
　...you don't have to worry about it that much if it's your usual set.
　Well, it's not unusual for Ray to take the meat out of the Mystery while camping.
　Still, the reason why Seto didn't want to give the meat to the water wolf is because the water wolf attacked Ray, and he envied Ray for being considerate of the water wolf...it must be a kind of jealousy.
　Whether or not Seto recognizes it is a different story.

"One."

　At Ray's words, the water wolf swallowed the oak meat with its mouth.
　Although it's nighttime, it's because of the moonlight, and because it's a night-blind ray, you can see the meat swallowed by a water wolf passing through your body.
　Then, when you get inside your stomach, the meat gradually melts.

(Is it stomach acid? Or if the body of a water wolf is just like strong acid...you don't do that's right?

　Ray had some doubts about the melting of the meat, but the water wolf squinted happily to see if he was enjoying the taste of the melting meat.
　First of all, I think the present was a success, and I'm sure it's true.

"Hey, you're a water wolf... I call you a water wolf, is there any problem?"
"Wow? ... One."

　To Ray's words, the water wolf gives an acknowledgment after thinking about it for a moment.

(I came from a different world, but you completely understand what I'm. ...even the Lizardmen don't understand the language yet.)

　Because of the monster of the same animal type as Seto, there was nothing to worry about so much until now.
　However, if you think about it again, it's amazing that a water wolf understands what he says.

"Were you listening to our conversation because your body was water only?"

　As long as it's water, you can't find it so easily in the lake.
　If that's the case, there's no denying the possibility that you learned it by listening to the conversation in the lake.
　But to Ray's question, the water wolf didn't say anything in particular... No, he didn't say anything and still enjoyed the taste of the meat.
　It is the tongue that normally enjoys the taste of food, not just meat.
　Some of Ray's cooking cartoons in Japan include enjoying hot spring rolls in his throat, esophagus, and stomach, but that's basically an exception.
　On the other hand, the water wolf is enjoying the taste by swallowing it whole and dissolving it gradually in the body, although I didn't know if it was a stomach...
　Seeing such a water wolf, Ray says again.

"First of all, it's late today. Can you come out again tomorrow morning? If the water wolf is going to be friendly with us, we should talk about many things."

　Ray's words would cause the water wolf to cry of consent after some thought.
