Legend

Ray, who had left the lord's mansion, went to the guild with Seth, who was delighted to receive food from the cook as expected.

Ray and Seth arrived in the guild while many people called out along the way....

"This is again....."

"Gruuuu....."

Ray shouted in surprise, and next door Seto was equally surprised.

There was a huge stage in front of the Alliance.

If you look at it, it's the stage to reveal the body of a crystal dragon.

However, if such a stage suddenly appeared in a familiar place, it would have been impossible to be surprised.

The stage is not so flashy.

That's what surprises me when I look at it again... but I'm still surprised when I look at it like this.

Naturally, the presence of such a stage did not seem to interfere with the passage for those passing in front of the Alliance, but fortunately the passage in front of the Alliance is quite wide.

That's why we have a stage.

"Um, because the usual place is no longer available on the stage... yeah, can you take it easy in a place that doesn't get in the way, but isn't on the side of the stage?

"Gruuuuuu"

In Ray's words, Seth looks a little restless, but looks for a place where she can sleep without any problems.

If you think about it, there is still a slight feeling that the place where you always lie down is unusable due to the stage.

Ray also joined the guild as he watched Seto walk a little further from the stage.

As usual, there are quite a few people in the Alliance today.

Today is a festival, and all construction work, including emergency items, is closed.

Except for additional construction, regular requests can be accepted without any problems, but many of the adventurers currently in Gilm are mostly those aiming for additional construction.

In that sense, it wasn't a bad thing to be able to come to an unusual, empty guild like this.

(I think this was normal a few years ago, but if I get used to that sushi stuffing, this situation seems pretty empty. I think we can handle this area if the construction work is completed.)

If you look inside the Alliance again like that, there are already quite a few people in the Alliance's cafeteria who drink alcohol in the morning... even though it's almost morning time.

Or maybe we've been having a banquet since last night because we're celebrating the festival.

Ray is not going to say anything about it until today is a holiday.

Go straight to the Alliance's counter.

"Good morning, Ray. I'm coming to talk to you, so please wait a minute. I'll call the person in charge."

Having found Ray, Lenora turned to the back of the counter on the spot with the documents she was processing.

The paperwork seems a little easier than usual because the construction work is off again.

"Good morning, Ray-kun. You're early today."

Kenny called out to Ray with a smile because Lenora was gone.

Normally, when you see Ray talking to you like this, Lenora tells you to do your job, or you round up your paperwork and tap it.

But now that Lenora isn't here, Kenny was able to talk as much as she wanted - until Lenora came back.

"Oh, a little bit about the festival."

"Oh, on the front stage.... I've only somehow heard what you're going to do, but Ray-kun is going to be busy today."

I see. Unfortunately... I don't know how to say it, but I'm sure I'm going to be busy. I still have to go back to the Lord's Mansion after a little confirmation on the front stage. "

Kenny looks sad at Ray's words that she'll be gone soon.

"Well, I wish I could have seen the festival with Ray-kun."

At that moment, the other receptionists around and the guild staff working on the other side of the counter turned a blind eye.

Even though I'm not so busy with the festival today, I still have a lot of paperwork accumulated so far.

It was only natural for the current Guild staff to want to clean up all the paperwork that had accumulated in the course of the day because they had less work than usual.

Kenny talks about her desire to go to the festival with Ray, so it's only natural that there are people who are dissatisfied.

If I were Ray, I wouldn't be able to concentrate even if I was just doing paperwork, so I think it would be necessary to change my mood a little bit.

In fact, Dusker said he was coming to see the body of a crystal dragon today.

Nevertheless, it's just what Ray thinks, and what others think is another story.

Particularly, the guild staff worked every day until late at night, just going home to sleep... and then waking up and immediately coming back to the guild to work, so it wouldn't be strange to be certified as a black company in Japan.

Nevertheless, you get paid properly for overtime, and on the contrary, you even get special bonuses.

As an Alliance Master worker, he must have realized that he needed to pay a salary commensurate with his hard work.

In fact, the salaries paid to Alliance employees over the past few months have been far greater than they normally would have been.

... the problem is that no matter how much you get paid for your work or work, you don't have time to use it.

"Cohon"

Bluff.

Kenny looks back afraid of coughing up what she heard right behind her.

There was Lenora with a smile on her face.

There was a sorcerer next to Lenora, but he didn't seem to notice.

That's all, I was afraid of Lenora's full smile.

"Kenny, what's your job?

"... I know."

As Lenora pointed out, Kenny went back to work unfortunately.

With such a dazed gaze on Kenny, Lenora explains to Ray the wizard next to her.

"Ray-san, this is the Wizard Eagle. Mr. Egal prepared the stage for me."

"Thank you. It's... Eager."

Eager lowers his head toward Ray.

A 20-year-old man dressed like a typical wizard with a robe and a wand.

However, I get the impression that I'm weak somewhere.

"I'm Ray. Best regards... I'd like to make some adjustments on the stage as soon as possible, okay?

"Yes, thank you. Let me do my best."

Egal, is Ray really one of Dusker's men? I think so.

At the same time, is he the one who created the stage that was prepared in front of the Alliance?

(Does that mean that you came from behind the guild, that you were working on paperwork for the guild until I arrived? I don't know if I was able to help myself or if I couldn't refuse because of my weakness.)

Of course, there are many documents that the Guild official is handling, but they should not be shown to outsiders.

However, it seems natural that there are some types of documents that are not problematic for outsiders to see, and Egal was entrusted with such documents.

Ray expects that, but he doesn't make any particular point.

Eagle looks weak, but he's still working for Dusker.

But the Guild staff should be thinking about it as a matter of course... and above all, Ray would end up with something else.

If you really don't want to do it, you decide that you will do enough to refuse it.

Well then, it's better not to go out there and have a detailed meeting.

"I understand."

"Now, if you'll excuse me. Good luck, Mr. Ray and Mr. Egal. I'm looking forward to presenting it today."

In Lenora's words, Eager nodded as he looked illuminated.

(Is that it? Maybe....)

Ray, who somehow understood why Egal was helping with the Alliance's work, avoided making a smile on his face.

As far as we can see, there's almost no doubt that Egal is interested in Lenora.

Ray doesn't know if it's been like that for a long time, or if he fell in love with Lenora at first sight at the Guild today.

Moreover, Lenora is a well-dressed person who is more cute than beautiful, but is also popular with guilds.

That's why there are so many adventurers who want to talk about Lenora somehow.

... but it's not just about Lenora.

In beauty, it was not uncommon for the adventurers to dictate that Kenny was better than Lenora and more feminine in shape...

If you stop being looked at by a man, you are more likely to be removed from the reception in that case.

Since the guild receptionists are such people, it is not strange that Eagar, who seems weak to look at them, should fall in love with Lenora gently.

(Nevertheless, it's hard to do well.)

The receptionists are dictated by many adventurers, but they don't get invited so easily.

There are a lot of hardcore people.

... in the case of Kenny, Ray would easily be dictated by his condition, such as what his own rigidity is.

Either way, it's unlikely that Eagle will be able to dictate Lenora because it's not that easy to dictate.

With that in mind, Ray leaves the Alliance with Eager.

"Wow...."

Summer-like enthusiasm strikes the moment you leave your Alliance.

It's natural that you raised your voice with such enthusiasm, Egal.

In the case of Ray, it is not hot at all during summer days thanks to the simple air conditioning of the dragon robe.

"The first question I want to ask is, is this the limit of the stage? Or can we make it wider?

"Yes, I can. However, if the stage is too wide, it will get in the way of the people passing in front of the guild, so I would like to ask you for this size."

"... this size?"

According to Egal, Ray once again looks on the stage.

It seemed like there was no problem in terms of size.

But that's just what I'm looking at right now, and I don't know what happens when I actually take out the body of a crystal dragon.

(When this happens, it hurts a lot when the neck is cut. You're going to use that much space.)

Think about how to place a crystal dragon corpse... For now, we should actually try to get it out.

"Egal, cover this stage with a wall of dirt. I will try to remove the body of the crystal dragon once. You can do it, can't you?

"Yes, there's no problem around here, but what about the height?

"There's plenty of room... I see. I want it to be about the size of the guild's roof."

Even if you blindfold the earth wall so that it is not visible from the surrounding area, it makes no sense if the height of the earth wall is low.

That's why people outside the Alliance will see things that didn't fit in the wall.

Ray's release of the body of a crystal dragon is already well known, but only to the best of his knowledge.

Most people still don't know what the main thing of today's festival is… what happens on this stage.

However, if Ray is surprised when he actually reveals the artifact to such a person, he doesn't want to know what he's doing here by showing a portion of the body of the crystal dragon in preparation for the release.

That's why Ray is asking Eager to carefully wrap the stage around the earthen walls.

"It doesn't matter. However, in that case, the earth wall will be quite brittle. It can't be helped by the wind, but if someone hits it, it will collapse."

"If that happens, I don't mind. I don't want it to happen if I can."

"... Ray-san also uses earth magic, right? Then it might be safer for Ray to do it."

Egal knew that earth magic meant that Death Size had the ability to manipulate terrain.

However, after acknowledging that, I decided to leave this matter to Eager and asked him to shake his neck sideways to build a mud wall.
