"Ray, will you be back soon?"
"I want to do that."

　While drinking tea, Ray replies to Elena, savoring baked goods, fresh fruits and dried fruits.
　At first, just a little... really a little bit of a subtle atmosphere, but if we talk enough, that subtle atmosphere is also solved.
　Now Ray and Elena were talking in a relaxed atmosphere.
　Also, Arla has already left the living room because she has something to do.
　Is that really because of something to do, or is it just so that Ray and Elena can be left alone?
　Even Ray doesn't know about that.
　I don't know, but it was an undeniable fact that I was spending time alone with Elena.

"It sounds dangerous, but the world over there seems interesting enough. ... I'd like to go there at least once."
"I can't do it now, but I think I'll be able to do it in a little while. It's just an optimistic prediction."
"If no one wanted to see me, a day or two... or a little longer would be fine."

　Elena, who says so, makes no secret of regret.
　We can't afford to turn down all the people who want to see us.
　Many of the visits are for the purpose of making people remember their faces, but some of them bring consultations as nobles.
　...to be honest, Elena can't do anything special about the troubles of the nobility.
　Even so, if there is someone who comes to consult with you in a serious way, I would like to do something about it.
　Of course, there are some people who really can't do anything about it, so there's nothing we can do about it.

"Aren't you tired?"

　Remembrance of consultations from some nobles, Elena comes to herself with Ray's words.
　I can't believe I'm with the man I love and forget about it and immerse myself in my thoughts.
　I shake my head thinking so.

"No, not really. ... You may be a little tired from one incident in Vyhela, but it's just a little."

　When Elena says so, Ray wonders if so.
　Elena is not so tired as to make her face tired.
　For example, it wasn't easy to understand fatigue, like being worn out or having dark circles under your eyes.
　But the atmosphere...yes, the atmosphere around Elena seemed somewhat tired to Ray.
　I didn't know what was really going on just because it looked like Ray, but it seemed like I was talking.

"Anyway, so... has Ray decided what to do today? Will he stay or go back over there?"
"I'm sorry, but I'll go back there. With Vihera, you won't have to worry about it in terms of military strength, but with a lot of Dragonias coming in at once, Vihera would be tough."

　It's not that Vihera is going to lose to Dragonius.
　If it's Vyhela, you can definitely beat 100... more Dragonians.
　However, Vihera's fighting style is strictly for individuals.
　When fighting more than a hundred dragons, they don't have the skills or magic to attack them in a lump, even if they don't go as far as Ray's extensive annihilation magic.
　As a result, when you fight Dragonius, you need to think simply and repeat one-on-one a hundred times.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　However, when it comes to fighting against a small number of people, the fighting time naturally becomes longer than usual.
　As a result, there was no denying the possibility that Dragonius, who had not yet fought, would head for the settlement of Centaur.
　After all, Dragonius is under the control of hunger.
　No matter how tender a vyhela looks, given the fact that it is attacked by other Dragonians, it is highly likely that it will not come to where it is.
　That's why they attack nearby villages and satisfy their hunger there.
　It was necessary that no one thought so.

(In other words, where there are no settlements around... if Vyhela encounters a flock of Dragonians in the middle of the meadow, she can knock them down without any problems. Even if she encounters Dragonians with gold scales, she will have no problem.)

　Even the stroke of Ray's twilight spear was damaged by the scales, but with the gold scales that he had passed away.
　However, no matter how strong the defense is, it is meaningless if it can be nullified.
　And the viziera's demon palm can do that.

"Well... are you going to the other world?"

　At Ray's words, a regretful voice comes from Elena's mouth.
　As Elena, if possible, she would like to go to the other world with Ray.
　However, considering the current situation, such behavior is almost impossible.

"I'm sorry. I just need to go to the other world to find Anastasia and Phana."
"I know... but,"

　Whooooooh!
　a small exhale Elena
　Although he may not be interested in it, the present situation was full of strong charm that would attract the attention of the viewer.

"I'd like to go somewhere to hang out after this matter is settled."
"Let's play. It's a bit difficult considering the current situation."

　If you can afford to go out and play, you can go to the world where Centaur is now.
　After that, we talk a little bit... the topic goes to Marina.

"So, if you're going to the other world, why don't you meet Marina?"
"No, I'm going to stop by the clinic before I go back. ... If I were here, I wouldn't have talked about it."
"I don't think so."

　In response to Ray's words, Elena tells him.
　There was no doubt that Ray was immediately convinced by Elena's words.
　Due to the construction of the extension work, some people will inevitably get injured there.
　Or, there are some people who are doing extension work who are short-tempered, and there are many cases where such people get injured when they fight because of their differences of opinion.
　Furthermore, the number of people participating in the construction work reaches thousands... or tens of thousands.
　Naturally, the clinic is definitely very busy, and above all, Ray has visited the clinic several times, and he has seen injured people lining up.

(Sometimes... there were really few people injured, but I guess that was really unusual. Then I'll stop by the clinic and show up if there aren't many people. In the slums... don't you have time?)

　Ray tried to convince himself that he had time, but in fact, it's been quite a while since Ray had destroyed many organizations in the slums.
　Organizations that could not attack because of lack of time are likely to have withdrawn from the slums...no doubt.
　Or... I can't deny the possibility that Ray misunderstood something and thought they couldn't touch it, but it was an undeniable fact that Ray couldn't nod honestly if it really happened.

"Anyway, the doctor may be busy, but I'll show up for now."

　Leave the slums behind and tell them so.
　Rei's words that according to the clinic, Elena nods that way.
　As a woman who loves Ray the same as herself, Ray has returned after a long time, so if he can't see Ray like that, Marina will be very disappointed.
　So we talked a little... Ray got up from his chair when Elena told him to go see Marina a little earlier.





"Guru..."

　Seto's throat was growling with unusual regret as he walked through the streets.
　Usually, she looks happy just to be with Ray.
　The difference around here may be that I couldn't play with Yero to my heart's content.
　It had been a long time since Seto had met Yello.
　That's probably why Seto wanted to play with Yello more slowly.
　However, Ray was implicitly told by Elena to go see Marina as well as herself, and as long as he thought it was right to do so, there was no option to not follow it.

"I think you'll be able to play with Yello again after this case is settled, so please be patient a little more?"...Slurp."

　At Ray's words, Seto grunts in spite of himself.
　Soothing Seto, Ray heads to the clinic...

"You're lucky."

　When I saw that there was no line of injured people in front of the clinic, I muttered so.
　Judging from the state of things, today's clinic is not so busy, if not so much.

"Seto is..."
"Guru".

　Perhaps still in a complete mood, Seto goes away from the clinic with a slightly sulky look before Ray says anything.

(While I was in the clinic, Seto was just lying down like this. Is it natural for Seto to get upset?)

　However, when we meet and talk to Marina, Ray goes straight to the forest of Trent... and heads to another world.
　So I couldn't leave Seto at Marina's house.
　Should I have brought Yello? Ray thought so for a moment when he saw Seto, but he immediately rejects the idea.
　Yello is a black dragon, but he is only a child.
　It has the ability to defend and disappear beyond a child's imagination, but this is Gilmoo.
　Due to the backcountry, there are many adventurers who are skilled, and many of them think that they will do anything for money.
　If I knew that Yello was an errand boy of Elena, who was nicknamed a princess general, I wouldn't carelessly touch him, but there are people who don't know it... or those who don't care if it's for money.
　As long as there was such a person, I couldn't let Yello go free with a gill.
　Yello has a high level of intelligence, but there is no doubt that he is still a child.
　In other words, there is no denying the possibility of being caught for a childish mistake.
　That's why Ray was quick to deny the idea that he should have brought Yello.

"Then eat this and wait a little longer."

　Ray served baked goods in front of Seto.
　It's not the baked goods sold at stores around there, but Arla is proud of them, and Ray and Elena are delicious.
　While the Rays were eating it, Seto and Yello were playing together, so they weren't eating baked sweets.
　For that reason, Seto looked at the baked goods on Ray's plate with interest.
　Ray pats Seto lightly and heads to the clinic.
　And when I opened the door...

(Yes, today was a hit, after all.)

　There is an injured person in the clinic who is being treated, but the number of injured people is not so high.
　Looking around the clinic, Marina was immediately spotted.
　Naturally, people who work in clinics are basically dressed for mobility.
　If there is a woman wearing a party dress, it's possible that she won't be seen it.
　Furthermore, it is impossible to become a dark elf woman with an overwhelmingly beautiful woman's glamorous appearance and not to attract attention.
　And Marina naturally realizes who came into the clinic.

"Oh, Ray. ... Long time no see."

　Marina smiled and said so, but this is also a smile with something in it, just like Elena showed.
　And Ray knew for granted what was in his smile.

"Long time no see. How have you been?"
"Yes, I was lonely because Ray wasn't there."

　with a rustling sound
　The people around me who heard Ray and Marina's voices are noisy.
　I know Ray has come to see Marina before, so few of the people working here are surprised.
　Some of the injured are adventurers who have been in Gilmoo for a long time, so it's not surprising that they know Ray's relationship with Marina.
　But... those who don't know what's going on, who have recently come to Gilm... especially those who have been captivated by Marina's beauty, are simply surprised by her words.
