Legend

The day after everyone had a steak... Ray wanted to see Dusker after breakfast, but before that, a carriage came to Marina's house.

Ray rides in a carriage because Ray says he has to, according to the word of the lord who told him to bring Ray from Dusker.

I wondered what to do with Seth, but Seth insisted that he wanted to play with Yellow, so Ray ended up going to the lord's house alone.

Normally, if you went to the lord's house, Seth would be happy to go with Ray because he would get cooked by a cook... but playing with Yero would have been so attractive to Seth.

It may be that I haven't been able to play with Yellow here lately.

Regardless, Ray, who came like that, is taken to Dusker's office, which is in the lord's mansion, as usual.

Originally, it wasn't so easy to meet Gilmore's lord, Dascar.

But in Ray's case, it's basically normal to see him even if he comes without a promise.

If Ray had come, especially if Dusker had met someone else, it would have been different.

In that sense, Ray is trusted and heavily used by Dusker.

There you are. Sit down.

When I entered the office, Dusker was already working on the paperwork, even though it was early in the morning - still after 8: 00 p.m.

I suddenly screwed up the festival where I was originally busy with paperwork.

It would be natural to have more paperwork than that.

As for Ray, you didn't have to do that... but I know that Dusker didn't just open the festival for himself, so I can't tell him to stop.

Sitting on the usual sofa following Dusker's advice, he signs the paperwork that Dusker was calling for, and then comes in front of Ray.

"Well, I would have liked to talk a lot, but I don't have time to spare. Especially today. That's why I'm talking about it. It's about the festival, but we'll do it the day after tomorrow. Ray, stay with me."

"The day after tomorrow?

"Mm-hmm. I told you before, right? There was also an announcement about Ray's promotion exam. That's all, as soon as possible... that's what I wanted to do today, but that was impossible."

"I guess..."

Even Ray knows how important it is to prepare for the festival.

Ning Ro, I thought it was early enough at the time of the sudden festival tomorrow.

"That's right. However, festivals are not as big as we have said before. That is what I intend to make a festival that everyone can enjoy with ease.... but it's easy for everyone to enjoy it, but not just Ray."

"I know."

Tomorrow's festival is to unveil Ray's passing the promotion exam and the body of a crystal dragon that Ray has defeated in the Devil's Forest, nominally.

As such, Ray can't imitate a festival as purely as the others.

Or even enjoyed it, it would be a short time.

I'm sorry to hear that, but there's no way I can say such a thing in this situation.

"So, what do I do? When you release the body of a crystal dragon, I'm sure someone will come up with something odd to think about."

Normally, you will understand that it is impossible to steal Crystal Dragon materials.

But the more you blow away that common sense, the more fascinating the body of a crystal dragon is.

Not to mention the corpse itself, but whether it's just a piece of scale, a piece of meat, or a piece of hair, it's very valuable.

Not to mention the fact that there are many people gathered to see the bodies of crystal dragons, and the kind of security is never perfect.

Alternatively, we cannot deny the possibility of acting like a rash without disobeying the orders of some nobleman.

That's all there was to the crystal dragon corpse.

"I've asked the Guild to escort me. Also, we will send out knights from here.... it's still Gilm who can't be completely relieved."

"Sure."

Ray feels comfortable with Dusker's words.

At times like these, there are many skilled adventurers that are difficult to do.

"Would you like some help from around Marina? With the magic of the spirits of the marina, it seems useful."

"Gu... marina..."

Dusker has a disturbing look at Ray's suggestion.

Only Marina knows her black history, and if she asks for something, she'll feel teased again.

But after thinking about it... eventually, Dusker nodded reluctantly.

If you can use the Spirit Magic of Marina in your Black History, you will accept that much.

"Okay. I'll get in touch with Marina later."

"I'm only going to go to the Guild or Laurie Dismantler, so should I go to the clinic where Marina is and talk about it?

"Please, just give me a minute. I'll write a letter, and I want you to take it."

That's right, Dusker, back to the desk.

Ray drops it off and savors the tea that the maid brought along while she was talking.

I've been talking for a long time, so although it's a little cold, it's probably the arm of someone who made tea.

It seems delicious enough.

And for a few minutes... Dusker, who finished writing quickly, brings Ray a letter.

"Please take this letter."

"I see. What should I do the day after tomorrow? Should I come to the Lord's Mansion or go to the Alliance?"

"Come to the Lord's Mansion. Crystal Dragon corpses will be revealed in the Alliance, but if you do so early, there may not be anyone who thinks strange things like Ray just said."

Marina will protect you with Spirit Magic, and even though the guild's hired adventurers and Dusker's knights and soldiers will escort you, there will be no disturbances without the corpses of the crystal dragons that will be targeted.

That being said, the surest thing is to keep the body in Ray's mystery until it is released.

"If you want, I can pick you up at Marina's house today, but what do you do?

"No, if it's a festival, Seth would like to come with us and not pick us up."

He then exchanged words and Ray left Dusker's office after storing the letter in the mistletting.

"Wow...."

Ray, who left the lord's building and came to the clinic, leaked his voice when he saw that there were already quite a few injured people in the clinic even though it was still morning.

Was there a big accident at the moment? I thought, as far as the injured people are concerned, most of the injuries were beaten.

In other words, this is not an accident, but a fight... or a wound caused by a brawl.

(Told the customer that there were a lot of people fighting early about the festival, but it was true. After that, is summer relevant?)

In summer, more people get annoyed by the heat, which makes them quarrel a lot.

I thought so, Ray, but it's still morning and the sun isn't that strong.

The temperature is still high enough.

Ray, what's going on?

Turn your gaze to the voice you hear.

Then there was a marina dressed in a party dress that was still unusual in the clinic.

Still, there is no discomfort even in the clinic if there is a woman who deserves the expression "beautiful woman of the world" like Marina.

No, there is a sense of discomfort, to be exact, but it is correct that the feeling of discomfort will disappear.

That's why so many people in the clinic were taken away by the marina, but Ray opened his mouth without worrying about the surroundings.

"Marina, just in time. Can I have a minute?... but I'm busy considering the current situation."

"Oh, that's not true. The people here are injured, but they suffer most minor injuries. I wouldn't have to do anything in particular."

It is clear that Marina does not find the current clinic situation interesting either.

... of course. Originally, this clinic was only operated for those who were injured in the construction work.

And yet, whether it's the excitement of the festival or the irritation from the heat, so many people come to the clinic with a fight.

If you are seriously treating it, you will naturally want to tell me not to joke.

Well then, can I have a moment? I need to talk to Marina for a second.

"I don't mind. If you think about the current situation, you should do that."

Most of the people here have come in a fight, but some of them are thinking of inviting marinas at the next festival.

Most of them, however, are ex-Alliance masters, and now they're Ray's buddies... to be precise, Ray's girlfriend, so I don't know what's going on around here, but they came to the Gilm recently.

However, such people cannot imitate the circumvention of the voice due to the beauty of the marina and the gloss of the woman until it is intense.

Many of those who wanted to invite a marina to Ray, who was having a normal conversation with such a marina, looked with respect.

Ray leaves the clinic and moves into the shade of the building, handing a letter to Marina.

"What is this?... a letter from Dusker."

Marina understood it was a letter from Dusker with a wax seal, but why did you bother to write? and questions.

Still, I can't help but read the letter after it was given to me.

The content of the letter is short and only matters are written.

That is a short text that can be read in about 30 seconds.

"If only Dusker were noble enough to write a noble sentence."

"That makes you strangely long, doesn't it?

When it comes to texts written by nobles, there is a long preposition, including greetings, and it takes a long time to get to the point.

In that sense, this letter would indicate Dusker's frankness.

"Even so, the escort. It would be great for me to see Ray's defeated Crystal Dragon up close.... I'm sorry I can't join the festival."

Say that, think a little... and eventually Marina nods.

"Okay. A Crystal Dragon defeated by Folding Horn Ray is boring if it is stolen from a stranger. Even if it means preventing it, if I should go to the escort, I'll let you.... I just want to thank you a little bit.

"Even if they say thank you.... what do you want?

"Oh, you want a woman to say that? Not during the festival, but when it's over, it'll be a little free, won't it? Then take me somewhere.... okay?

In short, it was an invitation to a date.

Ray understood that much, but I wonder where to go on a date.

If this is Japan, I think we should go to the cinema or anywhere.

Like a lake?... no, I can't.)

Thinking of it as a lake, the first thing I came up with was a lake that had been transferred next to the Magic Forest.

But on the side of the lake, there are Lizardmen, and the adventurers are waiting for Lizardman to escort them when something happens.

In addition, the slime should still be burning due to Ray's magic.

Such a place would be very unlikely, but unlikely to be a place to date.

(Perhaps the sight of a slime burning at night is surprisingly fantastic?

I didn't think so, but Ray immediately dismissed it.

"Okay. I'll talk to you later about where you're going, and dating's fine with me."

"Oh, really? Then maybe I can help you escort the body of the Crystal Dragon."

In Ray's words, Marina said with a smile on her face.

If I wanted to make it a marina, I would have invited Ray to a date as lucky as possible, but it was unexpected that Ray could starve lightly like this.

However, if it's Ray, if it's an invitation from someone I don't like, it's more like an invitation from someone who has an act called marina.

I shouldn't have said no.
