"Oh... this is amazing."

 Ray mutters in surprise on Seto's back as he sees the village to which Zai belongs.
 From the word clan and settlement, I thought that there were tens of people... no matter how many people there were, there were only a hundred, but from what Ray had seen from a distance, there were well over a thousand people.
 No, on the contrary, there were almost a thousand numbers.
 Why do you call it a village when there are so many people?
 Ray didn't understand that.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 Perhaps he was able to catch his breath while talking, but Zai only speaks smoothly at the end.
 Nevertheless, he was the fastest of the five Centaurs to have encountered Ray.
 The other four centaurs are still breathing heavily and unable to control their breathing.

(Well, I knew it)

 Looking at the other Centaurs, Ray doesn't seem to be breathing hard at all, stroking Seto so that he can run the same distance again.
 Zai and Centaur were confident in their running speed, but their pride was shattered as a result of competing with Seto.
 Still, I tried my best not to be left behind by Seto... and the result was the current situation.
 Even if you're jogging for 5 km, it's only 5 km to keep your pace.
 When asked if he could continue running 5 km at a sprint speed, the answer would be no.
 Zai and his colleagues were struggling to endure the defeat of Seto... and the result was this situation.
 From Ray's point of view, I think it's amazing that he ran this long distance even though he's out of breath.
 However, even if you think it's amazing, if you say such a thing here, you'll hurt the pride of the Zai people, and you won't talk about it.
 As we arrived at the village, we got off Seto and asked Zai.

"Recently, I've grown this big... is there any festival?"
"No, that's not the case. There are many reasons."

 I'm curious about what the situation is, but for the time being, I think it's better not to ask about it, so I'll move on to something else.
 ...and fortunately, that topic of conversation has approached them.

"And? It looks like some Centaurs are coming from the village... is that Zai's acquaintance?"

 Ray asked so, but it was easy to imagine that acquaintances would not be friendly or acquaintances.
 Because the Centaur group clearly turned their hostility to Zai... and to themselves and Setho.
 The Centaurian group was led by more than a dozen leading men.
 There are four of Zai's friends... If there are five including Zai, it will more than double the number of people.
 The other person may understand it, but he or she seems to have an advantage over the other personally, he or she speaks with hostility.

"Zai, what are you going to do? I can't believe you brought an outsider... someone you've never seen before. You don't know what it means to do such a thing at this time of year, do you?"
"This guy has nothing to do with them. I think it's obvious when you look at him. Or does Dorat think Ray is their companion?"

 At Zai's words, the man called Dorat clapped his tongue abhorrently and glared at Ray.
 The gaze was hostile...no, even murderous.

"I don't know who you are or what you were thinking when you came to this village. But, okay? Get out of here. This is an order."
"...what? You want to give me orders?"

 Ray tells the person who tells him that he's going to be arrogant and it's a command to provoke him.
 I guess you didn't like Ray's attitude. One of his followers, who was called Dorat, kicked him in the ground to make room for Ray, and tried to stick out his spear...

"Ugh!"

 The next moment, however, Ray quickly averts a spear blow and kicks his foot and rolls it to the ground when he grabs the spear and forcefully balances his opponent.
 The opponent is Centaur, who has four legs, unlike Ray, who has two legs.
 He should be able to withstand a slight imbalance, but Ray kicked his unbalanced foot and knocked it half-forcefully to the ground.

"That's dangerous. What on earth are you doing?"
"My dear fellow!"

 Dolat, whose companion has been defeated, points his spear at Ray with a hint of anger.
 The same goes for Dolat's followers, of course.
 He looks at Ray with hostility and murderous intent.
 Seeing these people, Ray pulls out a death-size and twilight spear from inside Mystiling.

"What!?"

 a long weapon suddenly drawn out of nothing
 That's exactly what everyone here understood that Ray didn't have anything like that.
 If this is Gilm, Ray has a mystery, so no one is surprised to see such a scene... not all, but almost everyone knows it.
 But that's just because Ray has been working in Gilm for a long time, and for those like Zai and Dorat, it's like what Ray did.

"Who are you?"
"Well, who is it? I'm not going to antagonize you for the time being, but if you're going to attack me, I'm going to respond accordingly."
"...well..."

 Death size and twilight spear, two long weapons that you wouldn't expect to be able to use Ray.
 You can see at a glance that both of them are different from the weapons around them.
 It is probably because I understood that Ray was armed with such two weapons, and that if he attacked carelessly from the perspective of Dorat, he would face a painful counterattack.
 In fact, Ray also intended to fight back if his opponent attacked him, so Dorat's perception is not wrong.
 But... it's only because Dolat is above a certain level of ability.
 It is understandable that there are people who are good at playing around Drat, and such people are strong just by looking at Ray's position.
 However, to those who couldn't measure Ray's ability, it seemed as if an opponent with two legs, much smaller than ours, was desperately bluffing with weapons out of proportion to him.

"Hey, you. What are you pretending to be with a weapon that doesn't fit your height? You don't know where you are to be when you have one."

 When one of the Centaurs approaches Ray, he tries to take his death size.
 The act of taking out a death-size and twilight spear out of nowhere, and Seto, who is staring irritatingly at himself a little away from Ray, doesn't seem to notice at all.
 No, it's not strange to notice that, but the person who approached Ray was fascinated by death size and wanted to take it away and make it his own.
 Ray understood the opponent's idea, but he threw it at Centaur, who approached him with a sense of punishment.

"Okay... Ugh!"

 At first, I thought Ray threw the death size, so I was going to give it to him honestly, but as soon as I received the death size, I couldn't stand and was crushed by the death size.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooo

 From what I can see, the Centaur crushed by death looks like a joke or something.
 Other people around me were looking at my colleagues, wondering if they thought it was a joke or something, or if they were suffering -- what the hell they were doing in this situation.
 However, if a man's face, crushed by death size, is painfully complaining, the story is different.

"I'll tell you, that's not an act, is it? My death size... It's very heavy for anyone but me to hold it."
"What!"

 Dorat listens to Ray and once again looks at his followers crushed by death size.
 The Centaur's characteristic horse cannot stand, and it is rolling on the ground.

"My dear fellow!"

 Drat shouts to Ray when he sees the face of his followers twisted in pain, but Ray doesn't seem to care about him, and approaches his followers who are crushed by death size.
 Naturally, Dorat and his followers are wary of Ray.
 But Ray, ignoring even his gaze, reached out... he picked up the death size from the fallen Centaur's body and lifted it up.

"What!?"Drats and their followers who were watching it... No, on the contrary, the mouths of the zay people start to wonder.
 Of course, Ray easily lifted Death Size, who had crushed a big man to the ground until just a moment ago.
 I've taken it for granted that Ray has that death size, but it's still impossible not to be surprised if he's lifted so easily after seeing what he's seeing.
 But despite all the confusion around him, Ray looks at Dorat with Deathsize and twilight spears in his hand and opens his mouth.

"So? What should I do? Are you still motivated? Then I'm going to resist a bit."
"Huh... you know, hey! I warned you! If you do something about those two legs, you'll be responsible! Don't forget that!"

 Screaming sharply, Dorat walks away from the spot.
 The followers also follow such a drat.
 The man crushed by Death Size also stood up, glared at Ray, who was humiliated by him, with a murderous stare, and followed Dorat.

"Well, Ray. That scythe... was it death-size? Is it really heavy? No, where did you take it from? I didn't have it before."

 Zai timidly asks Ray.
 Zai had no idea about the character Ray.

"Well... well, can you understand magic items?"
"... a magic item? What's that?"
"Don't you understand?"

 In this world, we can communicate for some reason.
 On top of that, Ray and Zai shared the meaning of certain words, such as Centaur.
 Considering the circumstances, I wonder if the term magic item can be used.
 "I thought so, but unfortunately, Zai couldn't understand the meaning of the word ""magic item"" that came out of Ray's mouth."

(This is a lot of bad things. Some words can be understood in common, while others cannot. Or, in fact, there are magic items in this world, but there is a possibility that they simply don't flow to this grassland... isn't there?)

 Still this meadow... No, Ray can't say anything because he only knows about the settlement where Zai and his clan live.

(For the time being, I have no choice but to grope around there. It seems that there is a country of people, and if you go there, you'll find some clue... I hope you have one. If Anastasia were in this world, she would be more interested in Centaur settlements and other places than in the land of people.)

 Given the character of Anastasia Ray knows, it's not strange to do so.
 And Fana could immediately imagine being pulled by Anastasia.

"Magical powers..." Do you know that?
"Well, I can't, but there are people who use magic like grandmothers."

 With those words, Ray could understand that magic and magic are recognized in this world.
 He continues his explanation with relief that his explanation has become easier.

"""It is a tool that exerts various effects through the use of magic.""" For example...

 Rei throws toward the opposite side of the village, putting magic into the twilight spear.

"What!"

 A voice of astonishment leaks from Zai's mouth.
 Even from the perspective of Zai, I understand that the spear of twilight is a great thing.
 It's so amazing that I don't know how much it's worth it.
 However, the twilight spear was in Ray's hand the next moment I was about to say why I should throw such a spear.
 The spear that should have been thrown just a few seconds ago is...

"This is... on earth..."
"Exhibit special abilities like this. This is a magic item."

 As he spoke, Ray would stow the Death Size and the Twilight Spear in the Mystery.
