"Hmm. The first person I went to see was Elena."

　a small dining room, a short distance from the doctor's office.
　Ray was talking to Marina, in what would have been a coffee shop to be exact.
　I used this store when I visited Marina before, but today the number of customers is not that large.
　...although this time of the day is usually when I'm working, so it may be natural.
　There was a high possibility that customers would come to this restaurant for lunch a little later.
　At such a shop, Ray was at a loss as to what to say back to the marina in front of him.

(I went to Marina's house, but she wasn't there? ... No, that's no excuse.)

　Because Ray knew Marina was working in a clinic, and there was no doubt that she would not be at home at this time of day, and that she was working in a clinic.
　Knowing that, Ray went straight to Marina's house, it was only natural to think that he went to see Elena.
　What should I say to the marina in front of me?
　If you get lost like that...

"Huh, that's enough."

　Marina suddenly smiles and says so.
　I was smiling a while ago, but this is a normal smile that is different from before.
　Seeing Marina's smile, Ray realizes that he was being teased.
　In other words, Marina wasn't really angry until now.

"Don't scare me."
"Oh, but I forgave you like this today, but if something like this happens again, you don't have to forgive me properly, do you?"
"Well, well, that's..."

　Ray can't say anything to Marina's words.
　In fact, it's an undeniable fact that the last time I came to see Marina was the last time.
　...but since I haven't seen Beune yet, it's not really the last time.
　However, it is an undeniable fact that I came to see you after Elena and Vyhela.
　However, aside from Elena, in the case of Vihera, since she came to the other world herself, I thought it would be good to do it with Elena and Marina.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're safe. I thought it would be okay because it was about Ray, but I couldn't say for sure."

　Rey opens her mouth after learning from Marina that she's been worrying.

"Sorry for making you worry."
"Oh, I'd rather say thank you for your concern than apologize."
"Well, I'm glad you're worried. Thank you."
"...all right,"

　Perhaps she didn't expect it to be returned so honestly, Marina says so with a slightly shy look.
　Ray didn't understand why Marina was shy.

(It's called a woman's heart and autumn sky, but I guess it's just like that. It's summer now.)

　I think so while drinking fruit water on the table.
　Seeing Ray's condition, Marina, who is a little calm, opens her mouth.

"So what are you going to do now? Still a while away?"
"Oh, Dragonius needs to do something about it... and Anastasia and Fana need to be found."
"That's right."

　Marina muttered briefly to Ray's words.
　For Marina, Anastasia is related.
　The difference is exactly between elves and dark elves, but there is no doubt that they are close to each other.
　That's why he wanted Anastasia to be saved if he could as a marina.

"Then, until the other one is finished, the extension work will be busy without Ray."
"Don't be like that. But as long as we have to find the true home ground of Dragonius, there's nothing we should do over there, and I think we can come back here in our own way."

　In fact, Ray is in the settlement of Centaur in the other world, and not much can be done.
　That's where you can have a mock battle with the warriors who are actually going to fight among Centaurs, or you can get some kind of food animal or monster with Seto.
　--both of which, in fact, are very grateful to the Centaurs.
　Having a mock battle with Ray, who has the ability to overwhelm Dragonius, naturally works to his advantage when fighting Dragonius.
　However, Ray and Dragonius have different physique and fighting methods as a matter of course, so the battle with Ray does not mean that it will directly work to their advantage in the battle against Dragonius.
　Food also helps in a more direct way than mock warfare.
　Due to the influence of Dragonius, Centaurs are gathering from other settlements one after another, so naturally more food is needed.
　...in that sense, it was premature to have a feast and slaughter livestock when the Rays returned.
　At that time, however, I thought there would be no more Dragonius attacks.
　Perhaps they never thought that the place where Ray and his team crushed was not their home ground.
　In that sense, it was a great blessing to the Centaurs that Ray and Seto were coming for food.
　Marina didn't fully understand the situation, but she still nodded to Ray's explanation.

"Yes. If it's true, I'd like to go there, too. It's difficult, considering the current state of the clinic."
"Are there many injured people?"
"I wonder if it's right that summer has really come and it's getting more and more."
"In summer?"
"Yes. Sometimes it gets hot, and then you lose your attention, and there's some kind of accident, and sometimes you get irritated by the heat and fight more."

　The words of Marina remind Ray of the TV program he watched when he was in Japan.
　In the summer, a police special often aired.
　The hot weather does not necessarily mean that crime increases.
　No, maybe that's the case, but Ray doesn't have that kind of perception.
　I had a feeling that some people would be involved in crime because I had time to spare during the summer vacation.
　...happily, when Ray lived in Japan, he was in the countryside of Tohoku, so he was never involved in such a crime.

"More like lowering the temperature of the whole Gilm by the magic of the spirit of the marina. Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's impossible. What does Ray think I am?"

　Marina told me dumbfoundedly, but from Ray's point of view, I have the impression that most things can be done with spirit magic.
　It was natural to think that it might be possible to cool down Gilm as a whole.
　If that's possible, that's what many people will flock to Gilmoo.
　It's not about residents, it's about aristocrats... it's about the people involved in the higher nobility such as marques and dukes, and in some cases the head of the family can come.
　It's cool in summer... but if you can do that, it's not strange to be warm in winter.

(Well, if that happens, I think that would cause a big disturbance over the marina.)

　Even now, if Marina's magical abilities are known, many people would like her to use any means.
　Still, the reason why Marina doesn't carelessly touch Dusker and his family is because he has long had contact with them, and was an experienced guildmaster, and before becoming a guildmaster, he was a great adventurer.
　Also, Ray's companion, who is nicknamed crimson, is a great deterrent.
　It is widely known that Ray is unrelenting even with the nobility.
　When asked if he wanted to antagonize Ray... he wouldn't normally nod to that.

"I thought I could do it because I knew Marina's ability."
"Not at all, but it's impossible. Even if it's done, it's just a few seconds... maybe I can do it for a few minutes if I work hard, but I think it'll be like that."

　If I could improve my magic skills a little more, I might be able to do it for a few tens of minutes.
　Marina adds that at the end.
　It's not what I think it's going to be, it's what I'"Whether the magic of spirits is amazing or the marina is amazing..."
"Both,"

　Marina says so with a confident expression.
　Marina's appearance was fascinating enough to attract Ray's attention.
　However, Ray diverts from the subject, wondering if it would be nice to have a strange atmosphere in such a place like this.

"Anyway, I think I can only come back here once in a while until that matter is resolved."
"Well, to help the Anastasians, we'd better do that. ... It's a bit lonely, but I'll put up with it."

　Marina smiles and shows a woman's strong charm.
　In fact, of the two men and women in their 20s who were thought to be lovers a little further apart, a man was more attracted to Marina... naturally, the girlfriend was not amused, and she stepped hard under the table and screamed.

"What is it?"
"Now?"

　Without knowing that they are causing such a fight between strangers, Ray and Marina look at each other in wonder.
　After that, after talking enough, someone suddenly enters the shop.
　Normally, I would have kept the conversation going without worrying about it.
　However, it is a different story if the person who came in was working in a clinic.
　It would be even more so, especially if the woman hurried toward Marina.

"What's the matter?"

　It's not that I don't think I've been interrupted by Ray's time, but I can tell from the seriousness of the approaching woman's face that she didn't just come out of curiosity.
　And in fact, the woman opens her mouth quickly, perhaps in a hurry.

"An injured person was brought into the clinic... and it was pretty serious. The building materials fell down from above and hit it."
"All right,"

　Marina's face has already returned from the woman who loves Ray to the face of a person who uses recovery magic in the clinic.

"Ray, I'm sorry, but..."
"Oh, I don't mind. I was going to leave Gilmoo soon."
"Be careful."

　Ray doesn't know if it's because he's in public or if he had any other ideas.
　But Marina kisses Ray's cheek, not his lips, and then leaves the shop with the woman who came to pick him up.
　In such a way, the lovers who had been brawling for a while had been brawling again, but Ray stood up from Ayako and paid the bill without showing any sign of concern.
　Maybe it's because it's the kind of restaurant where lovers come together. They didn't pay for each order like a bar, but they paid for it in a lump sum.
　In the meantime, I will buy some baked goods for Seto.
　...but I left the baked goods that Arla had just given me in Seto, so this baked goods will not be available right now, but tonight.
　baked goods made by chefs employed by aristocrats, and baked goods commonly sold in shops.
　Naturally, there is a big difference between the two flavors.
　Even if you let Seto eat this baked confectionery today, he will find it delicious, but the taste of the previous baked confectionery will cover up the original taste.
　That was a waste.
　After leaving the shop, the clinic... to be exact, in front of Seto, there are many people gathered in front of the clinic, unlike when Ray came earlier.
　However, those who are in the clinic will not be gathered to treat the injury, but will be gathered to worry.

(It seems that the injured person is not just a migrant worker, but a fellow who is loved by everyone.)

　I was a little interested in that person, but Ray can't stay in Gilm forever.
　We need to go back to the world and see what's going on with the search for Dragonia's home ground.
　If it's really dangerous, I think you can use Ray's portion, but he shakes his head right away.
　If you have marina spirit magic, you don't really need the portion you have.
　That's what I decided... Ray was going to go to Seto's place.
