"Well, that's it for today."

 Ray mutters on Seto's back when he sees the sun going down considerably and it's getting dark.
 If you want to run, you can still run, but Ray knew that there was no point in trying too hard here.
 If you don't have enough time, it's still a journey with five days to spare.
 Ray thought it would be better to take a good rest here than to strain here for a few hours.
 ...although it's a great deal that I'm simply hungry.

"Already? We can keep running even at night."

 The fish that expresses some dissatisfaction.
 On Zai's side, Dorat looks dissatisfied as well, but he still looks completely unconvinced.
 Still, the reason why Dorat doesn't complain about Ray is probably because he was reminded to follow Ray's words before he left.
 It was a little surprising to Ray that he had nothing to complain about before coming here.

"Oh, today is only the first day. Even if you earn some distance here, it's a problem if you're tired when you attack Dragonius."

 Everyone in Centaur, including Zai, looks chagrined at Ray's words.
 Centaur and Dragonius are already too different in individual combat power.
 Yes, because I realized Ray had said it implicitly.
 Centaur, who was once called the champion of the meadow, cannot be tolerated because he is said to be weaker than Dragonius.
 Still, it wasn't that the people here couldn't see the reality.

"Okay."

 Seeing Zai nodding, Ray looks for a good place to camp out.
 However, the grass stretches as far as the eye can see.
 Given the current situation, it doesn't matter where you camp.

(If there's a rock or something like that, you don't have to worry about one direction. ... Oh, but is there a possibility that the enemy will attack you on the rocks? In order not to happen, it would be better to camp in an empty place.)

 When Ray decides to do so, he steps down on top of Seto's back and pulls out the tent used by the Centaurs from the Mystiling.
 There are a total of five tents for two.
 Originally, we could have brought a tent that could accommodate more people, but given the large number of centaurs in the village, we don't have much tent reserve.
 That's why I brought a tent that was left over from the village.
 Other than that, after providing food, instruct the Centaurs.

"Hurry up and set up a tent. After that, I'll eat and go to bed. Tomorrow is early from the morning."
"What about the lookout?"

 One of the Centaurs, neither Zai nor Dorat, asks Ray so.
 Even in the settlement, watch was a matter of course necessary at night.
 This is because there is a good chance that ferocious carnivores as well as monsters will attack.

"Ah... I see. What should I do?"

 If it's always the case, Ray says he doesn'
 In fact, when camping in Erzine, basically, most monsters and animals don't approach you if you have Seto.
 Even after sensing the signs of Seto, what approaches are goblins and other smart and slow-witted monsters, or thieves who don't have the ability to do so.
 Even if such people approach you, you can easily defeat them with Seto's ability.
 However, it is only for Erzine.
 Even in this world, Ray is not sure if Seto's ability will work.
 When I fought Dragonius, I didn't run away even in the face of Seto.
 In reality, Dragonius had no ego and was driven by hunger.
 That's why he recognized it as a big piece of meat instead of running away in the face of Seto.
 Considering that incident happened, Ray can't just leave it to Seto.

"Well, basically with Seto, most monsters and animals don't come near, but this world... well, this grassland has just arrived and we don't know."

 Ray makes a hasty mistake when he almost says this world.
 Both Zai and Dorat were looking at Ray, but there is no way they can understand anything just by this case, so Zai opens his mouth.

"Then what should I do?"
"First of all, we're going to camp together. With this number of people, the time to keep watch will be shorter."
"A couple? What about Ray?"

 At Dolat's words, Ray says he's all right.

"I'm basically working with Seto. That's why I can keep watch with Seto without any problems."
"Is that so?"

 Are you satisfied with Ray's words or have you decided that there's no point in saying anything more?
 Ray didn't know anything about it, but anyway Dorat had nothing more to say.
 When Ray decides that no one else has an opinion, he speaks again.

"Okay, it's time to prepare for camp."

 At Ray's signal, the Centaurs begin to prepare for camp.
 Each of them knows what to do, prepares tents, prepares food, goes looking for firewood, and checks the surroundings.
 As a nomadic tribe, the Centaurs act quickly and without waste.
 What surprised Ray a little was that not only Zai, but also Dorat was doing his job well.
 Seeing Ray surrounded by his followers, Dorat thought he was just looking without doing that kind of work.
 Seeing the situation of Drat like that, I will raise his rating a little bit.

"What are you going to do with Ray?"

 Ray, who was watching Centaurs work, gets such a call from Zai.
 Even though we're going to camp now, Ray must have been watching us instead of preparing for something.

"In my case, it will be over soon."

 As he says so, Ray walks out of the way of the others and sets out his magic tent from inside the mysteries.
 The magic tent is housed in the Mystery as it is, so you don't have to build a tent like the Centaurs do.

"Oh,"

 Centaurs scream in surprise when they see Ray take out his magic tent.
 I've seen it a few times before, so I'm not particularly surprised.
 However, it was surprising to the Centaurs that the magic tent taken out of the Mystery was already in service.

"I've never seen that tent. Is it used normally where Ray lives?"

 With an interesting look, Zai asks Ray.
 The reason why they look so proud in their tone is probably because they thought their tents were superior.
 In fact, Ray's tent looks rather simple compared to the one used by the Centaurs.
 That's not wrong. I'm not mistaken, but... it's just about appearances.

"Do you want to take a look inside?"

 Ray said that probably because he had a strong attachment to his magic tent.
 It wasn't very interesting to see the magic tent below the tent used by the Centaurs.

"No, it's inside, isn't it needless to see?"
"Not really. There are some things you can't tell just by looking at their appearance. The tent I'm using looks like that. "

 Ray, who persistently encourages Zai, has turned his eyes to you among the other Centaurs, so he goes into action.
 This expedition relies on Ray's ability.
 If that's the case, Ray should be in a good mood.With that in mind, Zai moves to the front of the magic tent.
 If Ray is going to use it, it seems to have some room, but if we are going to use it, it's pretty narrow.
 Put your face inside that magic tent...

"...what... then...

 The next moment, he stopped moving, and people outside heard Zai muttering with astonishment.
 It's natural that those who were outside should think, "What the hell?"
 Those who watched the situation around the magic tent thought that Zai would show up and mislead themselves.
 But Zai won't show up from the magic tent for a few seconds... No, even after a few seconds.

"Zai? What's wrong with you, Zai?"

 One of the Centaurs calls out, perhaps because he was worried about Zai, who stopped moving.
 Perhaps because of that voice, Zai appears out of the tent.
 There was a look of astonishment on his face, and it is clear that he had not seen just a tent, though very much.

「……」

 And I put my face out of the magic tent, but it doesn't look like I can say anything.
 Some Centaurs wondered if Ray had set some strange trap.
 But if Ray did such a thing and was asked what the benefits were, no one would be able to answer.
 That's why one of the Centaurs thinks about what a magic tent is and puts his head in...

"Ugh!"

 What I heard from inside the magic tent was such a voice of surprise.
 Then, a few seconds later, Centaur shows up, and his face looks astonished, if not as much as Zai.
 The reason why I wasn't as stunned as Zai is probably because I understood that something unbelievable is spreading from Zai's appearance.

"What's inside?"

 When asked by Dorat, Centaur looks inside the magic tent and opens his mouth with a look of astonished.

"There was a room I've never seen before."

 At the words muttered with surprise, another centaur looks into the magic tent.
 After a few seconds, he opens his mouth with a look of surprise, just like Centaur.

"Yes, there was a room. It is also quite wide. --not much, but it's incomparable to the size of this tent."

 Both I and the others thrust their heads into the magic tent at those words.

"Ray, this is..."

 When Zai comes to himself, he asks Ray what happened and what happened.

"The Magic Tent I think it's easy to understand because the name has magic on it, but it's a kind of magic item. As you can see, the space inside is expanding."

 It doesn't look like a big tent, but you don't have to worry about things like this magic tent won't let you sleep soundly for the camp...
 However, the disadvantage is that once you use this magic tent, you will find it difficult to sleep in a normal tent.

"Magic items... this one, too..."

 Centaurs, including Zai, have seen Ray's magic items several times.
 The same goes for Mystery, Death Size and Twilight Spears.
 Still, this magic tent was clearly the most different magic item I've ever seen.

"Oh, it's a magic item for camping. Your tent seems to be very comfortable, but my magic tent hasn't been defeated either, has it?
"That would be a mistake to compare."

 Slightly disobedient, Zai replies.
 The tents used by the Zayes are designed to be fairly comfortable compared to ordinary tents.
 However, it means that it is the best tent, and it cannot be made with a fully equipped room like Ray's magic tent.
 It's the same as a place to live, but a tent designed to be portable and a magic tent with a room like that in a normal house are always different.
 For Zai, who claims so, I think Ray is the same in terms of a place to live.
 I think it will be night if we talk here any longer.
 It was clear that the sun had already set nearly half the time and night would soon come.
 Before that, it is necessary to at least prepare a bonfire.

"Look, I'm done with the magic tent. But if you don't get ready for camp, it'll be night soon!"

 Following Ray's instructions, the Centaurs return to their camp preparations.

"Guru".

 Ray, who had been seeing it off, suddenly looked at Seto's cry, and found Seto, who had a body the size of a turkey, on the ground and looked at him with expectation for compliments.
