"This is a little surprising."

 Ray mutters when he sees the wind on the meadow living normally where livestock are grazing.
 The wind on the grassland, which looks like a twin goat, is very noticeable.
 It was so that many Centaurs were surprised when they first took them into the settlement.
 ...Many people looked at Ray with disbelief when he brought the wind from the grassland.
 That's why it's surprising that they don't particularly dislike the grassy winds even if they're in the same place as other livestock.

"Guru".

 And when he sees such a scene, he looks a little jealous.
 It was a set that overwhelmed the wind on the grassland, but that's why I'm basically scared when I'm with other animals.
 If we spend a certain amount of time together, we'll get used to it.
 That's a bit disappointing for Seto.
 As a seto, I'm not thinking of doing anything else.
 There is nothing they can do about it, as long as it's a griffon.
 As a seto, it was honest to want to be on good terms with each other as long as they were unopposed.
 ...but Seto is overwhelmingly superior to us for animals that Seto has come into contact with so far, such as ordinary horses, cows, goats, and sheep.
 Therefore, it was impossible to get used to Seto immediately.
 In that sense, the goblins that normally attack Seto must be amazing.

"This is an unexpected sight,"

 Zai, who has come this far with Ray, also cries in surprise when he sees the wind on the meadow quieting down with the other livestock.
 This scene is a rare but usually unbelievable one.

"First of all...Why don't you give it a proper name? It's easier to call it, and the wind on the grassland is easier to get used to this village."
"Ray, are you serious?"

 For Zai, the grass wind is a respectable opponent.
 I wonder if it's really okay to give names to such people for our own convenience.
 ... for Ray, it's simply because it's troublesome to call the meadow wind.
 The difference in the world where I grew up must be huge.

"Oh, I'm serious. Then the grasswind... well, it could be a guardian of this village. Well, it might not be interesting for them."

 For the proud Centaurs, it is humiliating not to be able to protect their village by themselves.
 However, contrary to Ray's expectations, Zai nods honestly.

"Okay, let me rely on that word."
"...is that all right? I thought we were going to insist on protecting this village ourselves because it was about Zai."
"What does Ray think I am? ... To be honest, I don't say I have anything to say about Ray's words, but I've seen it. It's just one of those strongholds, not the enemy's strongholds. How many Dragonians were there. And..."

 Zai seemed to be trying to say something more, but in the end he shook his head without saying anything.
 They were going to say that they were losing confidence in their power when they saw Ray trample down a flock of Dragonians, who had been the enemy's stronghold.
 However, the zai had not broken so far as to say it.
 The strength of the core around here is probably the reason why Zai is loved by everyone in the village.

"What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. Power is power. I'll do anything to protect this village."

 Not long ago, Zai wouldn't have said such a thing either.
 But there are many Centaurs in this village... women, children and old men who have fled from the raids of Dragonius.
 Therefore, there is no option to value only your pride here and not to use the help of people who have the ability to deal with multiple Dragonians alone, such as Ray, Vihera, Seto, and Meadow Winds.
 Of course, if Zai is asked whether it's frustrating or not, he can say it's frustrating.
 However, if you can protect many Centaurs just by feeling frustrated, your chagrin is of no uselessly meaning.
 In a good way, it was Ray's influence, for better or for worse, that I was able to overcome it.

"I see. ... OK. Do I need to explain this case to the drums for now?"
"No, I'll let you know. ... Maybe Ray will be quite surprised."
"Isn't it the same no matter who doesn't let me know?"

 Zai's words complain and say so, but Zai immediately shakes his head.
 On the contrary, even those who were listening to the story around them shook their heads.
 If we were to act like that unanimously, Ray wouldn't say anything more.
 ...no, I'm sure it's a pleasure because Zai will take care of the trouble of reporting to Dolan.
 The conversation was settled, and Ray, seeing off Zai immediately going to report to Dolan, went straight through the village...

"Oh, Ray. You brought all the funny monsters?"

 While scratching up his purple hair, Vyhela, who had returned to the village from a patrol, smiles at Ray.

"Have you come back? ... And was there any other Dragonius?"
"I'm afraid he wasn't there. He didn't come here on any orders, but he just arrived here by accident."
"Is it an order?"

 The word imperative seemed to Ray to be unfit for Dragonius.
 But Ray, who saw the gold-scaled Dragonius, was certain that most of the Dragonias were starved and incapable of thinking, but that was only a handful of the Dragonias in general, but he also knew that he had the ability to think hard like any other Dragonias.

"Dragonius with golden scales."

 Vihera muttering as if she had read Ray's thoughts.
 Vyhela was enjoying the fight against Dragonius enough, but if you have a stronger opponent, it's only natural that you want to fight with him.

(In fact, the dragonius of the gold scale was strong.)

 When Ray fought, he eventually pushed him down.
 However, his ability is considerably high because he acted as if he were avoiding throwing a spear in the twilight while being scaly.
 Whereas ordinary Dragonians were fighting by instincts under the control of hunger, the golden-scale Dragonians were fighting by using their higher physical abilities to their full advantage, not under the control of ordinary Dragonians.
 Was there a gold-scaled Dragonius at every base in Dragonius, or was Ray's battle strong?
 Ray didn't know about that, but he could say that Vihera was a satisfactory opponent if he fought.

"Next time I find a base, I can fight, right?"
"Yes, I'll leave it to Vyhela."

 Now, if Dragonius had a magical stone, he would have to fight with himself and Seto as a magician.
 But Ray doesn't have to fight for himself because Dragonius' body has no magic stones.
 ...Even if there were magical stones, Ray could not tell if the magical stones of monsters from other worlds would serve as food for magic.
 However, since the magic created by the Zepail family of geniuses, I felt like I could easily overcome the world's barriers.
 After all, the Zepail family was a partner that even Grimm, Ray knew, could not enter and could only admire unilaterally.
 However, since Grimm has been studying hard since he was undead, his skills are very different from those of the days when Zepile was alive.

"Well, that's definitely a promise."

 A big smile...that's the kind of sun-like smile that Vyhela has, Ray nods, without two words.

"Leave it to me."

 Perhaps finally satisfied with Ray's words, Vihera smiles again and walks away.

"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to move my body a little. I still want to train some people."While training for Centaurs, they fight Dragonius, after which they go on patrol for other Dragonians, and as soon as they come back, they train for Centaurs again.
 If you think about it normally, it's not strange to say that it's obviously too much, but from Ray's point of view, Vihera doesn't look tired at all... well, her skin is even glamorous.
 Ray can't ask if he's tired of such a vihira... for the time being, he notices that the trained Centaurs are looking away.
 The Centaur, who looked away, seemed quite shocked, and some opened their mouths wide.
 Centaurs train desperately to become stronger. But...There must be something I really think of as training against Vyhela.
 Still, it may be because they are a race called Centaur that they do not actually have the option of training.
 Or is it because I was born and raised on this grassland?
 Whatever the reason, Centaurs will soon follow Vyhela.

(Come to think of it, Seto is...oh)

 Seeking Setho, Ray finds him playing with the Centaur children.
 Originally, many of the children in this village fled from their villages by the attack of Dragonius.
 If this were an adult, the child would have fled from a vicious monster like Dragonius and come here for the first time... or lived in a village where he had only visited a few times before, so many people felt lonely.
 However, you don't have to feel so lonely while playing with Seto like this loneliness.
 It's only for a moment, but it's definitely better than doing nothing.

(although Seto probably doesn't think that deeply.)

 It was Seto who understood people's language, but it wasn't because of the current situation of the Centaurs... it wasn't that he wanted to play with the Centaur children.
 Originally, Seto was very popular with children even in Gilmoo.
 Considering that, I could say that this trend is natural.

"First of all, let's leave Seto as he is... what am I supposed to do?"

 Without Vyhela, I could have trained the Centaurs.
 However, under the circumstances where there is a viola, it is impossible to do such a thing.
 ...no, if you try, you can do it, but the Centaurs won't be able to keep up their strength.
 If the consequences are bad for tomorrow, it's meaningless.
 However, if you can play with the kids... Gilm's kids got used to Ray while he was with Seto, but in this new world, the kids got used to Seto, but they're not used to it.
 We usually eat delicious food, but this village is not full of food because of the sudden increase in population.
 In the first place, when Ray and Seto encountered the grasswind, they were looking for animals or monsters to feed on.

"I really have nothing to do. ...oh!"

 As soon as I muttered, one centaur passes by Ray's side.
 Ray knew who the person was.
 The old woman is called by the Centaurs.
 In this village, Centaur is the only one who can use magic other than Dolan.
 And Ray was supposed to promise to show the magic used by the grandmother.
 ...although, in fact, it was disconcerted by the approach of a group of Dragonians before they could show us their magic.
 If you don't have time, there's nothing you really need to do right now.
 So it was a good time to have my grandmother show me the magic of this world... or Centaur.

"Grandmother."

 Ray would say so to his grandmother.
