"See you tomorrow."
"Well, I don't know what's going on with Ray, but be careful."

 Zai next to me nods in agreement to the drum's words.
 A few others have come to see Ray and Seto off, but there are many who are already in bed drunk, perhaps because it's just after the party.
 Today's party must have been so much fun in this village.
 Against Dragonius, he fought back without a single death... No, he succeeded in annihilating it.
 It was impossible not to be pleased with it.
 That's probably why those who attended the banquet drank and ate as many people took a bath to celebrate their joy.
 ...there are a lot of centaurs in this village, and the food situation is not good at all.
 Even so, it would not have been strange for everyone to forget about such things and eat whatever they want at today's party.
 Many people are sleeping drunk or full, and not many people have come to see Ray and Seto off as they leave the village with the moon floating in the sky.

(Seto is the same as always, isn't he?)

 After a light greeting with drums, zai, and the rest of the people, Ray turned his eyes to Seto.
 Seto, who got used to it in such a short time, has been told to be careful to return home early.
 When the members of the Seto lovers in Gilm see this... I wonder a little bit what will happen, especially to Mileinu and Johanna, who are representative of this.
 This is a different world, so there's no need to worry about Mileinu or Johanna coming.
 I don't think so, but... when it comes to Seto, the two of us often act out of common sense, so I don't know what kind of measures to use, but it's not strange to come to this world and come here.
 I think it's almost impossible, but as long as the possibility is not zero, maybe...

"Set".
"Guru?"

 Mile Dogs may come.
 Hiding those feelings, Ray calls on Seto.
 Seto also came to Ray's side after purring to the people who patted him, wondering if he felt something about Ray's words.

"Okay, let's go. I'll be back tomorrow, so please take care of my luggage."
"Leave it to me. But... can you come back to this hamlet? The grass is pretty big."
"Don't worry, we'll be able to do something about it."

 Ray's words have some apprehension.
 We may have a bad sense of direction, so if possible, we would like you to show us where you met us.
 However, if you go back to Ergen, you can't do such a thing.
 No way, I can't take Zai to Ergen.
 It would have been interesting if that had happened.
 Anyway, considering the current situation, I was a little worried, but Ray and Seto still had to manage to get to the destination.
 Fortunately, the hole connected to Erzine can move straight from this village.
 It's because it's a grassland, but the problem is how far Ray and Seto can actually feel.
 From where the hole was, Seto had run over the ground to this settlement.
 Flying and running on the ground have very different senses.
 It could have been said that the question of whether Ray and Seto would be able to grasp the distance firmly was quite a challenge.
 However, Ray had a hopeful prediction that this incident would probably be all right.
 If you're Grimm, you can feel Ray and Seto approaching, and if you're here, you can say that the hole is here.

"Anyway, see you later. Let's go, Seto."
"Guru!"

 After confirming that Ray is on his back, Setho greets the Centaurs with a short cry, and after a few steps of approach runs up the sky, flapping his wings.
 Many Centaurs watched Seto with surprise.
 For the Centaurs who participated in the battle with Ray and Seto, some people saw Seto flying in the sky.
 However, many of those here now are women and children, not participating in the battle.
 That's why many people said they saw Seto flying in the sky for the first time.
 He doesn't seem to care much about being watched like that on the ground, and Ray looks at the ground.
 Not only that, but Ray also thinks that finding the hole Grimm is the top priority.

"Seto, I'll look for it, but will you find the hole that Grimm is holding?"
"Slurp!"

 Seto screams, "Leave it to Ray's words!"
 With five senses sharper than Ray's, Seto looked confident when he found a hole leading to Elgin.
 While patting his head to thank Seto, Ray also looks at the earth as a matter of course.
 Ray's five senses, though inferior to Seto's, are also overwhelmingly sharp compared to ordinary people.
 Also, because of the ability to see at night, it is easy for Ray to check the state of the earth if there is a cloudless moonlight.
 ...the problem is that it is difficult to find holes hidden by Grimm even if we can see what's going on on the ground.

(As expected, I can't find it.) Should I stay at the village of Zai tonight and come to look for it tomorrow morning?)

 I think so, but after all, if the hole is hidden, it's not clear whether we can find it in the morning.

"Stab a spear or something in the ground nearby... No, if anyone else finds it, will it be taken away? Then a broken spear?"

 Ray was looking at the earth while muttering, but suddenly Seto made a sharp cry.

"Guru!"
"What's the matter?"

 When I asked Ray, he turned his eyes to one part of the grassland.
 However, even if you look at the place where Seto is looking, it doesn't seem like there's anything in particular for Ray.
 I can only feel as if the grass is spreading out.

(But it just looks like that to me.) If Seto finds it, it's probably)

 Judging so, Ray asks Seto to come down to earth.
 Seto immediately follows Ray's words and descends toward the earth.
 It's not that hard to get down to the ground because we're just flying in the sky.
 Within seconds, Seto's feet were stepping on the ground.

"I don't think I've seen or seen around here..."

 As long as this area is grassland, unless there is something very characteristic, it looks the same everywhere.
 It is true that, like Centaur, those who were born and raised in this meadow can find a subtle difference, but unfortunately Ray doesn't have that ability.

(Huh? But it doesn't mean that the settlement of the zay people will be there forever, does it? I was told that I was basically moving with livestock.)

 Settlements move if livestock finish eating grass or are in dangerous terrain.
 The tent actually used in the Centaur community is similar to the gel Ray knows, and it is easy to move around, and it has the characteristic that it is easy to live in.
 Also, if you think about Dragonius, maybe you've been around recently.
 While thinking about it now, I check the surroundings...

"Grimm?"

 Yes, I'll call.
 Say Grimm's name for a few seconds.
 No, more than ten seconds had passed, and I wondered if the magic that Seto felt was not Grimm's.

"Is it Ray?"

 Ray opens his mouth in relief at Grimm's words.

"Oh, for the time being, this matter has been settled to some extent. There are souvenirs, too."
"Huh?"

 With those words, a hole following Erzine appears.Grimm's magical effect has probably disappeared.
 It's difficult to keep magic on, but it's just like Grimm when he does it without hesitation.
 However, in the sense of continuing to cast magic on Ray, he is doing a similar thing by continuing to burn huge slime.
 However, while Grimm's magic really needs to continue to use magic, Ray's magic that burned slime is still burning, not actually continuing to use magic.

"Anyway, can we talk about various things after we go back to the world?"
'I don't care. What kind of world is this... interesting.'

 Then Ray and Seto go through the hole and return to the underground cavity where Whispers exist.
 Strangely enough, Ray feels nostalgic when he returns to the underground cavity.
 Regardless of going back to Gilm, I never expected to have such a feeling in such an underground cavity.

(For some reason, I guess I was familiar with this world.)

 Looking into the underground space with joy.
 There are holes continuing to lead to a different world, but other than that, there is no sign of change at all.
 I was a little relieved to learn that no one had come to this underground space yet.
 Not many people know about this underground space.
 However, if Ray's unusual feeling in the lake is reported to Dusker, he can send someone here as a matter of course.
 And if you know here or Grimm like Elena, you can still be dispatched, but if you send someone who knows nothing about it, you will surely be in trouble.
 Before that happens, I need to explain this matter...

"Hey, Grimm. What do you think we should do about this case?"
'Well, I don't want you to tell me. Why don't you pretend that nothing happened?'
"No, that's too unreasonable. If Anastasia and Fana are both safe, I think we can do it like that."

 The biggest problem is that we still don't know where Anastasia and Fana are going.
 Although he helped the Centaurs, the meadows had what he called vast, as if flying in the sky in Seto.
 It's very difficult to find the whereabouts of two women in such a place.

(He's caught by Dragonius... No, he doesn't have any sort of intelligence, and he doesn't seem to have any sort of concept, I mean, if he's caught, he'll eat him on the spot.)

 For a moment it occurred to me that I might be taken prisoner by Dragonius, but it was already denied.
 That's because I heard about the situation there from Zai.

"Ray? What's wrong?"
"No, I couldn't find Anastasia and Fana after all. That was a bit frustrating. ... Anyway..."

 Once there, Ray ends his sentence and pulls out Dragonius' corpse... the damage itself is not so bad.

"Huh!"

 Grimm is surprised to see Dragonius' corpse for the first time.
 If you're an undead but very curious Grimm, it's only natural that you've never seen a monster in a different world.
 I can't read facial expressions because the head is a skull, but Ray understood that it still gives off a happy atmosphere.

"Well, Ray. Do you mind if I get this?"
"What? Oh, if that's all right. How many more do you want? There are few clean bodies."

 Dragonius' body, killed by Deathsize, is essentially mutilated somewhere, let alone the spear of twilight.
 Dragonius, who was killed by a single blow from Seto, has many bodies that have been cut into pieces of meat.
 Dragonius, which the Centaurs defeated, also suffered a lot of body wounds, perhaps due to the large number of unruly battles.
 In that sense, it is rare to see a beautiful Dragonius corpse.

"This is a monster called Dragonius, but it was resistant to fire enough to withstand my magic."
'...what?'

 Grimm's words were filled with strong feelings of surprise because he knew how powerful Ray's magic was.
