Eventually, that night's feast was, of course, cancelled by a Dragonian attack.
　Some Centaurs are in a strong shock.
　I was wondering if I could finally go back to my daily life without worrying about my life after destroying Dragonius' home base... it was obvious that it was not my home base, so it was only natural.
　Ray has fulfilled his promise to Drum, the head of this village, so he doesn't necessarily have to get involved anymore.
　But... there's a Vihera who likes to fight Dragonius.
　It was clear that Vyhela would cooperate with the Centaurs in order to fight Dragonius, even though Ray said he would no longer help.
　Also, if you think about Anastasia and Fana, who will be somewhere in the world as Ray, you can't help but cooperate.
　It is clear what will happen if the Dragonians and Anastasia, who eat to death whatever they find, encounter each other people.
　Anastasia is an excellent wizard of spirits, but she is still not as overwhelming a user as Marina.
　If that happens, I don't think I'll be able to win if I encounter Dragonius.
　...if this were Marina, I could have been relieved that anything would be fine.
　Anyway, Ray had no choice but to cooperate in annihilating Dragonia in order to reduce the danger of Anastasia and Fana even a little.
　If you know where Anastasia and Fana are, you don't have to worry so much.

"Well... as I thought when I came to this village, this tent is amazing."

　Vyhela mutters deeply while looking at her tent.
　The tents used by the Centaurs are much more comfortable than those commonly used in Elgin.
　That's exactly what makes me want this tent if possible for Vihera.
　But... this tent, even if it was a tent, was supposed to be quite expensive compared to a normal tent, given that it was so elaborate.
　...in the case of Vihera, I have money to spare, so if I wanted to buy it, I could buy it.

(Oh, but it's not the gold of this world, so it's impossible. if I barter for jewelry, as Mr. Dusker gave me."

　I remember the jewelry that Dusker gave me, telling me to use it as a necessary expense, and that I could use it as Ray's.

"Vyhela, if you want, would you like to ask Zai to sell this tent? I don't think I'll have any trouble paying for it, since I got a jewel from Mr. Dusker."
"That's fascinating. But... let me think about it a little bit."

　In Ray's words, Vihera says so.
　As for Vigella, I'm happy to have a tent bought by a man I love.
　I was happy, but I wanted to buy it with my own money if possible.

(In this case, how do you earn money? If this is a guild, you can get some kind of request.)

　In the case of Vihera, she prefers to request subjugation due to her own strength.
　...but what was not suitable was the request of the bodyguard.
　There are times when you don't know when the enemy will come out, but many people think foolishly of Vihera's good looks and masculine body.
　For now, Vihera did not intend to receive a request for a bodyguard by herself, as some people misunderstood it strangely.
　When a woman asked me to escort her, I was looked at with jealousy, and in some cases I was called an older sister.
　...yes, there was.
　It was from the experience of having been asked to escort Vyhela several times while she was running away from the Westian Empire as an adventurer.
　However, before that, there was no such thing as an adventurer's guild in this village.

(If that happens, why don't you just hunt animals or monsters and sell them? Oh, if you catch animals that are likely to be livestock, will you buy them?)

　This idea of Vihera was by no means a bad one, given the current situation in the settlement.
　Because the number of livestock remains the same as before, but Centaurs fleeing from other settlements are joining one after another.
　More people is by no means a bad thing in the sense that the settlement will grow.
　However, it would be nice if it increased gradually, but if it increased in large quantities at once, food problems would increase.

"Anyway, the first purpose is over, so we should go back to Ergen."
"Yes, there are quite a few people who are in trouble even in Gilmoo."
"Are the woodcutters the biggest?"
"That'll happen,"

　a Vihera uttering what Ray expected.
　The transportation of felled trees is, of course, extremely difficult.
　That's why Ray is so important to the adventurers who help him.
　It's only natural that you want me to come back as soon as possible.
　...but I understand how Ray feels, but I don't think he can help Anastasia and Fana until they confirm their safety.
　I don't know when it will be... but I still needed to do something about Dragonius, and I can't go back to Ergen without doing something about it at least.
　No, I can do it if I just go back, but I have no choice but to move my base of action to this world until the matter is resolved.
　I have received permission from Dusker, so Ray has no intention of moving his current base of activities.
　...although I am not very happy about the current situation.
　No, there could be more sad things than happy things if you think that Centaur will be damaged.

(I mean... Dragonius doesn't go to the other world, does he?)

　The hole leading to Ergen is hidden by Grimm by magic.
　If so, it is impossible to find a hole in it in the ordinary course of time, but Dragonius, who is ruled by hunger, is unusual;
　That's the very thing that could find a hole hidden by Grimm for some reason and go to the other world.
　After all, what Grimm is doing is just hiding the hole leading to Ergen.
　In other words, it actually exists there.
　If so, as a matter of course, you can go to Ergen.
　...but if Dragonius goes to Ergen, as long as the hole is connected to the underground of the Trent Forest, there is nothing Dragonius wants to eat.
　However, if that happens, there is a problem.
　There is a hole in the underground space that has created a connection with this world.
　Until now, Whisp, who had only the ability to summon someone from another world, suddenly opened up a hole in this world.
　I don't know why, and above all, I don't want anything strange to happen to the hole that connects the two worlds when Ray is in this world.

(Well, since Grimm is here, I think it's okay for Dragonius to come. ...but when the opportunity comes to secure a living Dragonius, will he act with joy?)

　Grimm's strong researcher side made Ray not seem so misguided.
　I thought I wouldn't intentionally invite other Dragonians to taste it, but it's just a prediction.
　Perhaps I was defeated by that desire for knowledge and did such a thing.

"First of all, we have settled this matter, and I will come back and report to Mr. Dusker tomorrow."
"I'll stay here tomorrow. Wouldn't it be hard if Dragonius came while Ray wasn't there?"

　At first glance, it sounds like you're worried about this village, but Ray can understand that if Ray comes and Dragonius comes, he thinks he can fight.
　We've known each other for quite a long time, so just as he can understand Ray, Ray can understand him as well.
　However, it was also a proof that if Dragonius attacked this village while Ray was away, it would definitely be protected.
　For Vihera, Dragonius, dominated by the instinct of hunger, was a highly desirable partner.
　If you're a normal... thief, even if you despise Vyhela at first, you'll run away without fighting if you realize its strength.
　But the hunger-dominated Dragonius will never retreat until he eats the tender flesh in front of him.
　On top of that, the individual strength is not particularly noted, but it has a corresponding strength.
　...the proud Centaur would certainly be shocked to know that Vyhela was thinking about it.
　Anyway, Dragonius is, in many ways, a desirable enemy to Vihera.

(The only drawback is when there are nearly a hundred animals like today... but as far as Dragonius is concerned, he was more likely to attack Vyhela than the village in front of him. Don't you have to worry that much?)






　Thinking of the previous battle, Dragonius turned to Vyhela as if he were sprinkling an attractant.
　Then Ray stops thinking and says something else, judging that there's no need to worry.

"Well, let's go to bed now. Vihera, please use this tent. I sleep in my usual magic tent."
"Really? Can I sleep with you?"

　The Vihera that says so has a different feminine charm from the time of the battle.
　If a beautiful woman like Vihera... has a manly body and is invited to do so by a woman dressed in light clothes like a prostitute or dancer, she can usually jump at it like a bee swarming around a flower.
　...and Ray knows naturally what kind of feelings Vihera has for him.But still Ray leaves the tent, trying not to notice it.

"Now,"

　I hear Vyhela's complaints from behind, but there's no sign of real anger there.
　I would like to have that kind of relationship with Ray, but if that's the case, I thought Elena would be the first one.
　Even though I don't know the details, I'm relieved that Vihera is not really angry, and I take out a magic tent from Mystery next to the tent I just left.

"Guru-ru- "Squealing".

　As Ray enters the magic tent, Seto grunts good night.
　Ray waved his hand to Seto and went into the magic tent... until he fell asleep.





　The next morning Ray was outside the settlement with Seto.
　Some Centaurs, including Zai, are coming to see Ray off.

"Then I may not be able to come back by the end of the day, but I'll be back as soon as possible, so be prepared to do so."
"Okay. But I'm going to look for the real home of Dragonius from today. I don't think there's anything I should do if I come back early, as I don't know when I'll find it."
"I guess so. I just want to find out a lot about this area."

　Even if we can communicate, this world is still a different world.
　So there was a good chance that there was something in this world that didn't exist in Ergen.
　Even the grass that grows about it did not exist in Ergen, and it was quite possible that it would be of some great power to the alchemists and pharmacists ... or to the others.
　In that sense, if you bring an alchemist into this world, you may discover more, but in this situation, you can't do that.
　There is a high possibility that Whispers will be more interested in this world than in this one.
　To prevent this from happening, Ray could not bring alchemists, researchers, and others into this world.
