"This is... there's really nothing left."

　Zai muttered, dumbfounded, looking at Dragonius' home ground.
　In fact, there really isn't anything left.
　It is true that there is not even Dragonius' corpse left.
　...to be exact, there is a dead body of Dragonius, which has become charcoal and ashes, but which can't be used as a material, not what Ray wanted.

"Wow... I honestly didn't expect it to be this far. You went too far."

　Ray mutters, reflecting on having created ten fire whirlwinds.
　If the number of fire whirlwinds was one... no, even if it were half five, Dragonius' body would have survived to some extent.

"It was wise of me to obtain the body of Dragonius with the scales of gold."

　self-praise Ray
　However, if the body of Dragonius with the golden scales had not been secured when he actually escaped from his home base, it is likely that the body was also charcoal or ash.
　As long as he led Dragonius, it might have been possible that he could have endured the fire whirlwind... but Ray would not want to try it on Dragonius' corpse with a golden scale that only exists for one.

"Well... to be honest, it really didn't make sense for us to come."

　Say so with an expression of discontent.
　From the point of view of Zai, the pride of the Centaurs did not allow this case to be solved by relying solely on Ray, who is an outsider of the village.
　That's why I came here to fight Dragonius even a little, but in reality, there were very few scenes where I fought.
　About when I came into contact with Dragonius on the way here.
　If it meant helping Ray, wouldn't it have been better to go to the bodyguards of those who had escaped from other settlements that they had encountered along the way?
　I can't help but think about it.
　However, at first I didn't think Ray's magic was this powerful... No, it can't be helped.

"Not at all,"

　The one who deeply agreed with Zai was Dorat.
　I had decided that I didn't like Ray's presence, but I still recognized him as competent.
　That's because most of the Dragonius groups that attacked the village were annihilated by themselves.
　Ray and Seto showed overwhelming strength as they fought the red-scaled Dragonias, who were resistant to flames.
　That's why I knew Ray's strength. I knew it, but... this time I saw a scene in which even a drat who seemed to know Ray's power could not help but be stunned.
　The overwhelming sight was simply astounding.

"Oh... I don't know what we've really come here for. If we had one guide, that would have been fine."

　Disgruntled... and yet, the words muttered with some resignation are certain to make the viewer think a lot.
　In fact, each of the other Centaurs who saw such a rat thought a lot.
　At a distance from the Centaurs, Ray and Seto look around once again.

"I think this really helped me defeat Dragonius, who was at home... but I feel like it's going to end too easily."
"Guru?"

　While Ray caresses her head, Seto grunts, "Is that so?"
　Indeed, the fight against the gold-scaled Dragonians was undoubtedly settled more easily than expected.
　However, it is only because Ray used the red armor of Emperor Flame.
　The opponent had the ability to ignore Ray's throwing of a spear in the twilight.
　Considering the circumstances, Seto felt that Ray had finished too easily.
　Seto insists that's not the case with his eyes on Ray.
　To Seto's gaze, I change my mind a little as if Ray was like that.
　Ray can't really think that this case has been completely resolved.
　But... to put it bluntly, it's not that Ray really has to solve Dragonius' case completely.
　If you think about it again, the reason why Ray and others cooperated this time is to ask them to cooperate in searching for the whereabouts of Anastasia and Fana.
　As a condition for this, Centaur, a settlement in Zai, undertook the annihilation of the Dragonians in this place.
　If that's the case, you don't have to push yourself any further, as long as you've met the minimum requirements...

(Even so, I want to avoid things that leave a bad aftertaste as much as possible.)

　Not to mention Dorat, he has a good feeling towards Zai, and the rest of the Centaurs adore Ray, partly because they saved their village.
　Also, there were a reasonable number of people in the village who loved Seto.
　Considering the circumstances, I think it's better to support the Centaurs a little more here.
　There was no doubt that such a feeling was in Ray.

"First of all... I can't stay like this forever, and I think I'm going home soon. Even though I've left some people in the village, it's better to go home as soon as possible, right?

　In an indescribably delicate atmosphere, Ray says so.
　The person who listened to it nodded honestly to Ray's words, judging that there were many things he wanted to say, but there would be no point in saying so in the current situation.

"Well, it's strange to say that ... but I'm a little sleepy."

　Zai nodded to Ray's words and said so, but even for the others, the words were understandable.
　There's no doubt that Ray's food will be enough to fill his stomach until the fire whirlwind goes away.
　However, I stayed up almost all night, partly because I was watching the situation in Dragonius' home ground.
　Originally, you might feel a little sleepy, but the fire tornado is continuing to burn the home of Dragonius, which has been causing great damage to you.
　Sometimes I'm excited, and I can't sleep in such a situation, if not very much.
　As a result, everyone here is now sleep deprived.
　... In that sense, Ray, like the rest of us, is sleep deprived.

"Shall we stay here one more night? Many of you must be nervous and tired."

　The Centaurs have subtle expressions on their faces at Ray's words.
　Of course, I'm happy to be able to rest.
　I'm nervous now, so I don't feel sleepy, but if I act as if I'm heading for the village now, I'm sure I'll get tired halfway.
　The biggest problem in this case is that you are too nervous to recognize your fatigue.
　Because the Centaurs knew this, they looked like they are now.
　... in Ray's case, that's the sort of thing you're going to do, so you don't have to worry too much about it.
　Also, Ray's body was originally made by the Zepile family, so if you feel like it, staying up all night is no big deal.
　Nevertheless, there is no doubt that you should rest.
　Contrary to these people, Seto doesn't have to worry about that at all.
　Gryphon Seto, created by magic, usually likes to take a nap, but if he feels like it, he can stay up longer than Ray.

"I'm happy about Ray's feelings, but camping here is... kind of..."

　Most of them are already burning up and burning up to ashes and charcoal, but last night there were tons of ... that's what countless Dragonians.
　Camp in this place where such a large number of Dragonius died.
　It was, to be honest, something Centaur would definitely like to refrain from doing.
　To Centaur, Dragonius is a loathsome enemy.
　I'm sure that's true, but still... I'm sure there are many things that I think about when I look at yesterday's incident.
　I'm reluctant to camp in such a place.
　In response to Centaur's words, Ray briefly says so.
　For Ray, if the Centaurs say so, let's not camp here.
　That's all I felt.

"Then shall we camp a little further away? ... Fortunately, thanks to the Dragonians, there are no enemies around here."

　Any creature that can move will be eaten to death by the Dragonians who were based here.
　In that sense, there was no doubt that this area was a pretty safe place.
　...or, if there were any creatures around here, I could have seen the fire whirlwind burning all night with my own eyes, or seen the light in the distance even if I wasn't fully aware of it.
　There may be no one who likes to go to such a place, but the number must have been small.
　Ray's impression was that there was no need to worry about that now.

"Then what about Dragonius, who came back like before?"

　Those who heard Dolat's words are sure to understand that.When I came back a while ago, there was still a fire whirlwind.
　Thanks to that, even if Ray and others didn't do anything special, Dragonius and others died of themselves.
　But... the fire whirlwind is gone now.
　If Dragonius, who had gone elsewhere, returns, he won't die.
　What will happen to the surviving Dragonius now that the gold-scaled Dragonius who gave orders has died?
　Ray has such a question, but it's unlikely to be solved.

"We'll have no choice but to leave it alone. We'll be waiting here until all the dragons who don't even know how much they're scattered around this meadow come back... I can't do anything about it."

　No, if you want to do it, you can do it.
　However, if we were to do such a thing, it would be a question of how long we would have to stay here.
　Ray's home base is Gillem in Erzyn.
　Currently, an extension is under construction in Gilmoo, and Ray and Seto play a significant role in that, so we can't leave it alone.
　Also, the purpose of looking for Anastasia and Fana will not be possible in the situation where we are waiting here.

(Oh, should I have checked if I was captured by Dragonius? ... Well, that's a very small possibility.)

　If Anastasia and Fana were found by Dragonius, they would have been eaten to death before they were captured.
　As a matter of course, Anastasia and Fana will not be killed quietly, and will fight back.
　At any rate, the possibility that Anastasia and Fana had been captured in this home ground was low... to say nothing.

"Anyway, if you're not going to camp here, camp away, rest well tonight, and then leave tomorrow. ... Who has any objection?"

　No one voices against Ray, who looks around him while asserting that.
　Although he doesn't like Ray, he still thinks his opinion is not bad.
　...If you are really worried about the village, there is no other way for Ray to get on the set and return to the village first.
　However, the question is whether Ray and Seto will be able to reach the village safely.
　This meadow is not accessible by highways as it is around Gilm in Ergen.
　That's why everything is covered with grassland.
　a safe place to call the Green Sea
　If Ray and Seto, who already have a slight sense of direction, were asked if they could safely reach the settlement in such an environment... anyone who knew Ray and Seto would say it would be difficult.
　For Ray, I honestly think the guide Centaur, who came straight from the village to this place, the home of Dragonius, in a grassland-like place, is amazing.
　In that respect, the guide, Centaur, was definitely ahead of Ray and Seto.
　However, to the Centaurs who were born and raised on this vast grassland, even if they look the same to Ray, there are actually many minute differences, and they may remember.

"Well... let's go now. How long can I stay here?"

　The others followed Ray's words quietly.
