"Lord."

"Oh, Ray. Thank you very much."

Turning around, Ray stood with a slightly tired look as to whether he had finished his greeting.

"But... I'm surprised..."

Ray opens his mouth face-to-face at the table.

"It seems customary to give rejuvenating artifacts as rewards to officers who stay in the military for a long time..."

"It's about three years, no matter how long. Ha... I'm afraid I'll get it, but I think ten years is broken."

Ray squeaks, exhaling.

"Because the dungeon exploration went unexpectedly well. Couldn't you?

"I appreciate your willingness to reward me. But it's stronger to be surprised and confused because I didn't get a chance to get a product traded on a billion-dollar basis."

With a bitter smile, I flaunt the cup Ray recommended.

"Goods, etc., you just have to collect them again. But talent is hard to replace anything. I think Ray has served me more than enough. If you look at the total number, you're managing four thousand human beings."

Including the people packing into the 'Fia', there are over four thousand military officials. With the exception of me given the number of people in the realm, Ray would be the one with the most control.

"Everything's broken...... right? I knew you were headed to the dungeon...... I see. Was this the purpose of the dungeon itself?"

"Correct. I didn't know how much product was going to come out, but I was still hoping this would be the only way we could work together longer."

"Ten years...? The child was also independent and his grandson was almost independent. If you think it's going to last ten years, are you your great-grandchildren?"

"Where's your family?

"We take care of Rostee territory. It's just that Norwegian-sama and I have been involved a lot, so it's pretty much south."

Ray speaking with a slightly nostalgic look.

"We're done forming an army, and why don't they take a vacation once? I'm sure you'll need to consult with your family on a 10-year scale."

"No. My wife is gone, too. With each one of them independent, it wouldn't be a big problem if I changed a bit."

"Really? As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather Ray live longer than tie his affiliation. That's all."

Smile and tilt the cup. When you put the cutlery and cup on the table, you see a rare, pompous ray of expression.

"Is that... just it?

"I don't really like to fish people for things or status. Well, I may use it to the extent of the backlash of someone whose heart is shaking. I believe it is man's, humanity's loss that Ray's power will be purely lost in the future this time. If it solves things or money, it will be profitable."

When I tell him that, Ray's face turns into a bitter laugh.

"To what extent...... is that right? You still have a different point of view to look at. Okay."

"So?"

"Yes, you will be ill for some time after using it, but there are no forecasts of problems coming up in the near future. Now would be the only time to use it."

When I hear that, I'm happy and my face breaks with nature.

"I'm immature, too. I'd appreciate it if you could support me."

"Immature, etc. No, that's right. The lord was a man who made up for his immaturity. My loyalty to you."

When I tell him that, Ray gets up with a sunny look.

"I'd like to have some time somewhere if I can. The time has come to fulfill our travel commitments."

Hmm? Oh, the bath story when I came down to look at 'Lisatia'?

"Okay, even in the near future. Best regards,"

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

A stiff grace and a crisp departure Ray. I wonder if this will solve the Commander-in-Chief's age problem. I thought fifteen years would be a long time, but if I could leave Ray around the army, much of what I had to do would be mitigated. I say thank you for being able to concentrate on home affairs, tipping the cup.

Exchanges continue from here in the wake of visits by cluttered humans. It's a world of drinking, drinking and swallowing, so honestly I finally remembered.

"All personnel, attention. Dismissed!!"

By the time Ray's voice sounded, he was finally in a state where he was sitting down without poking at the table. My people feel the same way. Only the dollar is reliable to take care of Rossa with a flat face.

"Liz, are you okay?

"Ugh, I managed to be fine...... Hiro, it looks tough."

"The view is starting to turn, so maybe not for a bit. I suppressed most of it, but the number of people who could say hello was different."

I look around, only feeling fluffy, but Fia is in a good mood and on the lot, and Tiana is tangled up in Kabia, where administrative work is done. Lina feels calm, but she's getting more body touches with chat, so, uh, she's definitely drunk. Well, Ray, Lot, and Kabia are holding me back and drinking, so I won't have a problem with anything happening.

As far as soldiers are concerned, the older humans go home or back to the barracks, and the youngsters seem to see each other again in the pleasure streets as they are. Seriously, guys, I'm fine. Ask Tesla to get a carriage ready, thinking that today's sales will definitely be pointy when it comes to drinkers in the pleasure district. Okay, let's go home. To my house. Ugh, I might get drunk in a carriage in this condition......
