The series of correspondence with Vihera ended successfully.
 Fortunately for Ray and Seto, there was no conflict between the Centaurs and Vihera.
 ...the Centaurs of the settlement, many of whom saw Vyhela overwhelm the five Dragonians by themselves, were friendly, partly because they proved to be Ray's acquaintance, and the Zays heard that they were dangerous in close combat.
 The Zays are showing off Ray's ability.
 I can't help but believe Ray's words.
 Ray also wondered if the area around Dorat would cause any problems, but Dorat didn't run into the Vihera.
 Maybe it's because Vyhela is a woman, or maybe it's because I've come to know Ray'
 I didn't know the reason for that, but I'm sure Ray will be happy that no unnecessary problems will arise.
 In any case, in the present village, they annihilated the attacking Dragonius, a new visitor appeared, and the Reys returned safely to destroy Dragonius' home base as a result of the war.
 It was impossible not to please the Centaurs.
 And the glad Centaurs decided to have a feast as a matter of course... Ray was told to wait in the tent with the Vyhela while the preparations were going on.
 This is probably due to Zai's thoughtfulness in preparing even a little time for Ray and Vyhela.
 Anyway, Ray and Vihera were talking in such a tent.

"So? Is Vihera the only one in this world?"

 You can use the word "world" normally because you understand that there is no one around this tent except yourself, the Vihera, and Seto lying outside.
 Seto was originally popular in this village, and men who liked Centaur's women, children, and other lovely beings... or the Centaurs who joined the village while Ray was away could come.
 However, since I was busy preparing for the party, and above all, Zai told me not to come near this tent for a while, everyone kept it strictly.
 That's why Ray and Vyhela were able to speak honestly without pretending to gloss over.

"Yes, I'm alone. I've invited Beune, but she said she'd give priority to her work."
"No, that's normal, isn't it? ...Is Vihera doing well at work?"

 As far as Ray knew, Vihera's job was to patrol Gilm as a substitute for a security guard and resolve any problems.
 Did you leave the job alone and come to this world?
 Vyhela nods to Ray, who asks so.

"Yes, no problem. I didn't give up my job in the middle. I think I forgot, but I work in the guild every day. So if I don't get a request from the beginning, I won't have to give up my job, will I?"
"Well, is that so?"

 Ray seemed slightly unconvinced, but I understood what Vihera was actually saying was correct.
 If you don't get a request, there's no problem there.
 ...but the fact that Vihera has been patrolling Gilm since last year has become a kind of specialty.
 It's impossible not to stand out considering the beauty of the Vihera and the clothes that stimulate the s*xual desire of the man.
 ...although becoming a specialty does not necessarily mean that Vihera must be asked to do so.
 That's why I said that I came to this world without being asked.

"How dare you get into that hole?"
"Oh, you said there was no problem, so you don't you think?

 Who on earth said so?
 It's obvious without thinking about it, and Ray lets out a sigh in spite of himself.
 It's definitely Grimm.
 In the first place, Vihera had been smelling that area, so I should have understood it.

"Yeah, well... well, it's nice to come to this world, but how did you find this hamlet? Wait, you don't have to tell me. That's Grimm, right?"

 At Ray's words, Vihera says nothing, just a smile.
 Looking at the smile, it's not hard to understand what Vihera really means without saying anything.

"Not at all. ... Well, it's just that Vihera didn't get lost."

 Had it not been possible to find this hamlet, Vihera would have wandered through the meadows.
 This meadow, where the Centaurs... and many other creatures live, is so vast that if you get lost, you can't do anything about it.
 As long as it's a meadow, there are many creatures, and you won't starve to death.
 As Grimm, he would have been sensible enough to tell him where this settlement was to be able to meet Ray.
 Ray understands that, but he thinks it's a little too much of a service.

"Right? So who did Ray fight against? He was Dragonius, right? I heard he went to his home ground."

 After all, that's probably the thing that bothers me the most.
 As he likes to fight, he cannot help but wonder how many strong men there were in Dragonius' home base.
 Ray knew Vigella's taste, so he opens his mouth without any need to hide it.

"There was a dragonius with gold scales. He got rid of the twilight spear I threw. ... At that time, I got a big scar on the scales."
"Lies... That's honestly amazing. Ray's twilight spear..."

 Vyhela muttered with a look of surprise.
 The reason why I don't ask Ray again if it's true is because I understand that Ray doesn't joke about things like this kind of thing.

"Oh, just... I'm a little hesitant when asked how strong it is. I fought with the Flame Emperor's red armor."
"You acted like a waste."

 Ray gently looks away at Vihera's words, which changed his surprise to a slightly envious expression.
 For Vihera, he was a strong opponent and wanted to fight to his heart's content.
 Ray knows that, but Ray doesn't like fighting as much as Vihira does.
 I realized that if there was someone I could knock down, it would be better to knock them down quickly unless there was a special reason.

(And...)

 I didn't tell Vyhela, but Ray honestly doesn't understand that Dragonius, who was really at home, is the home of all Dragonias in this meadow.
 Of course, there is no doubt that the gold-scaled Dragonius was an extremely powerful individual.
 I could not help but be astonished to pretend to ignore the spear of twilight.
 But... nevertheless, I can't understand if Dragonius, who has the scales of gold, was his greatest enemy.
 I don't think so for any clear evidence or reason, it's just my intuition.
 However, that intuition is Ray's... who has been involved in many big disturbances and has been fighting against many monsters.
 If you think about it that way, Ray's intuition could never be underestimated.
 However, since intuition is the only reason, I decided that it would be better not to mention this incident to Vihera, who is looking forward to fighting against a strong enemy.

"For the time being, the people in this village were relieved, so there was no problem in the end ... maybe."
"It's kind of awkward. Is there something?"

 Even if Ray didn't say anything, he probably understood that there was something, if not somehow.
 Vyhela and Ray have known each other for quite a long time.
 As a woman's intuition about the man she loved, I could guess that much.
 Ray has no choice but to laugh and mislead Vihera, who easily sees through some of the contents he tried to hide.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"Well, I've heard that the woodcutters, their bodyguards, and other adventurers working under them are having a hard time."
"That's... yes. I guess so."

 Ray can't help but agree with the explanation.
 With Ray, you can store the felled trees in Mystery and fly to Gilm immediately on Seto.
 In comparison, now that Ray is not here, we have to load the felled trees into our own carriage and carry the carriage ourselves to Gilm.
 You don't have to think about how hard it is.
 Also, unlike Ray, which can carry various construction materials to other places by mistilling, it is necessary to carry them to the construction site.
 It was certain that those operations would affect Ray's disappearance.

"And... it didn't seem interesting that Elena and Marina went on a journey in this world without saying anything to them. That's true for me, though."

 As he says so, there is no sign that Vihera is displeased mood.
 This is probably because Vihera is coming to this world.
 It may also be because Dragonius was a fairly enjoyable partner.

"I'll have to give them something as a present when I get back there."
"Oh, won't you give me a present?"
"Vyhela must have come here herself. Then you don't need a present, do you?"
"You don't understand women's minds."

 Vihera, who looked dumbfounded and said so, tried to continue saying something, then...

"Guru".

 Seto, who was watching the surroundings outside the tent, screams.

"Well, it looks like someone is here. Are you probably ready for the feast?"
"Well, I'll ask you this before the party starts. Have you found out where Anastasia and Fana are?"
"No, unfortunately not yet. I think this is the nearest village from the hole, so at first I thought it was probably here. However, Anastasia can use spirit magic, let alone Fanah. That's pretty good, too. ...but not as good as Marina."
"It's more wrong to compare it to Marina."

 Vihera says so with amazement.
 Marina is such a wizard that the word "all-purpose" is appropriate.
 Because Ray knows that, he doesn't disagree with that.
 Even so, Ray knows that Anastasia has enough spirit magic skills to call her a full-fledged man in general, with exceptions like Marina.
 I understood that Anastasia alone could not be done so easily anywhere in the world.
 Even if you were attacked by Dragonius, you could not defeat the enemy completely, but if you were to run away or hide, it should have been possible with spirit magic.

"The reason why I hit Dragonius' home ground this time is because I want him to gather information about Anastasia and Fana."
"I see,"

 Vihera seems to want to say that she would have been willing to go to Dragonius' home ground.
 When Ray tries to say something to Vigella with some embarrassment...

"Mr. Ray, Mr. Vihera. The banquet is ready."

 It was one of the Centaurs who said that and showed his face.
 He was the man who took Ray and his colleagues to the headquarters of Dragonius as a guide.
 The last time we reconnoiter, all but ourselves were killed.
 I am one of the people who is especially grateful to Ray for taking the revenge.

"I see. Now that you mention it, it smells good."

 As Ray said, even inside the tent is a savory smell that stimulates the appetite.
 With Ray's words, Vihera opens her mouth with a smile of joy, perhaps because she noticed the smell.

"I'm getting hungry after smelling this."
"Two of you... No, there's Seto, and I'm sure you'll like it because I want you to eat it together."

 The words of the guide who confidently tells are of great interest to Ray, too.
 Because when I went to the headquarters of Dragonius and when I came back to this village, I ate the food Ray served.
 On top of that, because of this word, they must be very confident in the food they are cooking.
 Ray was going to the banquet with Vyhela and Seto.
