"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

　With a big yawn, Ray sits up on the bed.
　Ray is naturally the only one in the magic tent.
　After all, Ray stayed up all night and fell asleep right after the camp.
　It wasn't until the afternoon that we camped, just fell asleep... and just woke up.
　Usually, when I wake up, I'm half asleep, but now I'm in the middle of making a request. ...it was not a formal request through the guild, but a request received from the settlement of Centaur in another world.
　Anyway, Ray's awakening is not bad because he is in the middle of a request.
　...when I had been sleeping since yesterday afternoon, it seemed like it was too late.
　When Ray got out of the magic tent, the first thing he saw was the sun. ...to be exact, the morning sun.
　It's already bright around, but it's still a good time to call it early in the morning.
　When you check the surroundings, Seto, who notices Ray coming out of the Magic Attent, immediately looks up from the situation where he was lying down.

"Guru!"

　"I'm up!" he cried happily and ran towards Ray.
　For Seto, Ray fell asleep as soon as he encamped.
　Since then, there has been no sign of getting up at all, so it's only natural to feel lonely.
　...here, rather than worrying that something might have happened to Ray, there was Seto's trust in Ray.

"I made you feel lonely. I'm sorry."

　While stroking Seto as he rubs his head, Ray apologizes to Seto.
　Seto intensified his movement to rub his head against Ray's appearance.
　That's how happy Ray is to be patted.
　Ray had been stroking Seto for about ten minutes, but then he looked around again...

"As expected,"

　mutter briefly
　The reason for the muttering was that there were no monsters or animal corpses in the camp or around, and above all, around Seto.
　In other words, that kind of presence never attacked us last night.
　As Ray expected, all monsters and animals around here were probably eaten to death by Dragonius.

(However, in the case of monsters flying in the sky, I don't think Dragonius can do anything about it, so I don't think it's strange.)

　have such a question
　Even if it is impossible with Dragonius, there are many means of long-range attack, and above all, it is possible for me to fly.
　If you think about it, it would have been nice if there were birds, bats... or flying monster corpses lying around.
　However, there are no such bodies lying around.
　If that is the case, not only those who live on the ground, but those who fly in the sky also understood this area as dangerous.

(Well, even if you're not intelligent... maybe it's because you're not intelligent, you'll understand that Dragonius works by instinct.)

　Remembering Dragonius, Ray prepares a meal.
　Ray was now quite hungry, partly because he went to bed right after getting ready for camp yesterday.
　Even if you've been sleeping all the time, you'll still feel hungry.

"What do you want to eat, Setho?"
"Guru!"

　Seto responds instantly to Ray's words.
　What I could hear was a cry, but Ray could still fully understand what Seto meant.
　In other words... meat.
　Ray knows, of course, that Seto loves meat, so there's no denying it.

"Well... I think I made you feel a little lonely. Let's grill some Gamerion meat."
"Rolling!"

　At Ray's words, Seto cries with joy from the bottom of his heart.
　Gamerion meat can only be eaten for a limited period of autumn and winter without Ray.
　However, Ray can eat without worrying about it at all thanks to the mysterious nature of his food.
　Seto gazes happily at Ray's Gamerion meat.
　Easy to eat...not to cook as quickly as possible, cut the meat into appropriate sizes, skewer it, and stick it near the bonfire.

"I have a few sauces, but they're still not as good as my profession."
"Guru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru?"

　Seto encouraging Ray.
　However, in this case, the real profession is those who are cooking.
　Most of the skewers sold at stalls for a bit of pocket money or as a hobby ended up being a hobby.
　Those people basically don't like kushiyaki that much.
　...some of them bake strangely deliciously, but basically few of them.
　As a matter of course, Ray can join the majority of people, grilling the skewers and not burning them, but it's delicious...it's delicious no matter who eats it! You can't make it growl.
　First of all, I could eat normally, so Seto was satisfied.
　While grilling meat, Centaurs will also come out from other tents, perhaps because of the smell.
　Then look for the source of the smell that stimulates the floating appetite.
　I hadn't sprinkled salt yet, but the smell of Gamelion's meat burning was destructive enough to stimulate my appetite when I woke up.

"Ray, that meat..."
"""It's the meat of a monster called Gamerion.""" You're not around here, are you?"

　Ray explains what kind of monster Gamelion is, wondering if there is a Gamelion in this world because the world and Erzine communicate and the words have the same meaning.
　Fortunately, when Zai hears Ray's explanation, he shakes his head.

"There are rabbits, but there is no such huge...and heinous existence. If there is a monster like that, if I can bump into Dragonius... it's too late now."

　It's too late.
　So Ray was going to talk back, but it's not clear yet if it's really too late.
　Maybe... I can't deny the possibility that there is a high ranking Dragonius other than that golden-scaled Dragonius.

"Anyway, you must be hungry after waking up. Do you want to eat it? It's monster meat that doesn't exist around here, so you're interested in it, right?

　If you say so, it's not impossible for the Zay to be interested.
　From the time they left the village until they came here, they had many opportunities to eat Ray's food.
　All of the dishes were delicious, and that's why Ray expressed a strong interest in the skewers he is currently grilling.
　Ray won the trust of the Zay's cooking until he came here.
　...some of the trustees don't like Ray...or even hostile to him.
　I don't like Ray, but everything he serves is delicious.
　In spite of this dilemma, you end up eating without being able to resist hunger.
　Then everyone gets up and gathers around the bonfire... just lightly sprinkled salt to bring the skewers to their mouths.

"""Delicious!"""

　The Centaurs' voices burst out in unison.
　Ray, however, has no intention of boasting of the praise.
　"The current ""delicious"" voice was not created by Ray's cooking technique, but by the taste of Gamerion's meat."
　...Some people thought it was amazing enough to have this meat ready.

"Yes, it's delicious. It's delicious, but... it's no match for my profession."
"Do you have a professional job?"

　One of the Centaurs who heard Ray muttering asks mysteriously.
　Rei nods to such a person as if it were natural.

"For example, it's a battle. The battle itself can be done by both children and old people, right? But it's just an amateur's fight. Professional... for those like you who are actually in battle, there must be a big difference, even if it's a battle."If you say so, the Centaurs will look satisfied with Ray's words.
　The present explanation may have been sufficiently straightforward because it was compared to a battle.k.

"That's why for a professional who cooks, even grilling the same meat is different."

　Even though each dish is a small difference, the differences accumulate, and the dishes produced are very different between amateur and professional.
　The Gamelion meat Ray is eating is not tasteless at all. I don't have any, but... I still feel it's not as good for Ray as he knows the actual grilled Gamelion meat skewers.
　However, it was only because Ray knew a really delicious Gamelion skewer, and the Centaurs honestly felt that it was delicious even if it was Ray's grilled skewer because it was their first time eating Gamelion skewer.

(Come to think of it, I remember seeing something about teppanyaki that is quite difficult to grill.)

　Ray is convinced, remembering what he saw in a TV special or something while in Japan.
　In fact, if you grill a skewer directly like this, you can see how difficult it is.

"Ray, can I get some more?"
"Huh? Oh, I don't mind that. ...however, it's not enough to eat."

　Say so, take out soup, bread, and some fresh fruit.
　As a menu of meals, it's never gorgeous - it's gorgeous in terms of the price of the ingredients because it uses Gamerion meat - but everyone is still hungry or happy to eat it.

"Now listen to me while eating. For the time being, it's been one night since yesterday. After that, shall we check the home of Dragonius one last time and then return to the village if there is nothing else?"

　No one is against Ray's opinion.
　In this case, Ray did everything from beginning to end, so it's only natural.
　That's how I understand it's absolutely disgraceful if I complain here.

"There seems to be no objection. Then, I'll go and see with Seto after the meal. Zai and others... well, pack your bags here. When I come back, I'll put my luggage in, so that I can leave right away."

　The baggage in this case is the tent used by the Centaurs.
　It's portable, and on top of that, it's much easier to use than any other tent Ray knows.
　That's why it takes more time to fold than ordinary tents, and the amount you carry around increases.
　However, the Centaurs who have been using the tent since birth are used to it, so they don't have to worry about it.
　Once that's done, Ray gets on the set and leaves.

"Slurp!"

　For Seto, he would be happier flying than walking on the ground.
　He's in a pretty good mood because he has Ray on his back.
　Ray also enjoys flying on Seto's back.
　...even if it goes to the place where a great deal of Dragonius was burned to death.

"Oh, I can see it now. ...as far as we can see from the sky, is there anything wrong? Seto, go down for now. Maybe you'll find out what it is when you get down to the ground."
"Rolling!"

　At Ray's words, Seto cries "Leave it to me" and then descends toward the earth, flapping his wings.
　Then, naturally, it lands on the ground with no particular danger.
　It must have been because the wind blew in its own way from yesterday to today.
　The body of Dragonius, which had turned into charcoal and ashes, must have been deformed and flown away by the wind.

"There's a slash and burn field, but will this be one of them? ... Well, I don't think it's going to grow on Dragonius' charcoal or ash. I grew up, and I think I'll be able to do something strange."

　If you use the charcoal and ashes of Dragonius, which was dominated by hunger, as fertilizer, the possibility of a vicious insectivorous plant... No, it's not surprising that human plants will grow.

(Maybe it's better to sprinkle salt thoroughly here so that nothing will grow again.) ...no, but I think I'll eventually recover."

　Ray thought like that while looking around... and when satisfied, he walked away with Seto.
