Legend

Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray!

Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray, Mr. Ray!

When Ray entered the guild, he was immediately confronted by both Kenny and Lenora.

Why this was happening would be one of the crystal dragon's corpses without having to think about it.

...... How big of a shock the corpse of a crystal dragon was to those around it was clear from the fact that even the normally calm Lenora was just as excited as Kenny was to talk to Ray.

Ray himself wasn't that aware ...... no, he thought he was great in his own way, but he still opened his mouth, a little pressured, because he didn't expect Lenora, let alone Kenny, to be so excited.

'Oh, calm down. Calm down for now.

However, the two excited people don't seem to be calming down even when Ray says something like that.

On the contrary, they didn't even seem to notice that the Lord Dusker, Guild Master Worker, and even former Guild Master Marina were at Ray's side, yet they were crowding Ray.

''I'm sorry to interrupt you, and we'll go up first. We'll need to talk about ...... a lot of things.

'What?　Hey, it's okay, Marina. You can leave Ray in this situation: ......

'Oh, so Dusker is going to stop those two?　That's fine then.

'We're busy right now, and as Marina says, there's a lot to talk about.

At Marina's words, Dusker makes the decision to abandon Rey easily and heads to the other side of the counter.

Worker follows behind Dusker without saying a word.

Hey!　Ray turned his gaze on such a worker, saying that Lenora and Kenny are the guild's receptionists, so you should do something about it, but the worker desperately pretended not to notice the gaze and just looked away.

It's likely that the worker also decided that he or she didn't want to do something like stop Lenora or Kenny from being in the current state of excitement.

After all, Lenora and Kenny aren't the only two people who want to hear from Ray about what's going on.

Since these two were close to Ray, many of the guild staff wanted to hear from Ray, although they left the role of listening to him.

Fortunately, the adventurers who were in the guild and the adventurers who were in the tavern had also gone to see the ceremony that took place outside the guild, so the only adventurers currently left in the guild were ...... that is, the ones who were drunk in the tavern, and such people don't wake up a bit or a little bit, as they should.

In that sense, it was probably fortunate in a sense that the only people who wanted to hear a lot of things from Ray were the guild officials.

Whether it was lucky for either of them, though, was another story.

''Ah ...... see, calm down. I'm not going to run away. Huh?

He tells her that he won't run away, but he offers himself up as a human sacrifice, resenting Marina and the others as they quickly head upstairs.

Still, Ray sees that Ray's words have helped Lenora and Kenny's momentum subside in their own way, and Ray is a little relieved.

However, the momentum has only subsided a little bit, and as far as Lenora and the others are concerned, they wanted to hear a lot of things from Ray as soon as possible.

Or if the people here were ordinary people who weren't guild employees or anything else, they might have been excited, but they might not have been so desperate.

But this is a guild.

That's exactly what it is, a place where many adventurers gather, where monster materials and magic stones are brought in by adventurers, and where a lot of monster information is gathered because of its remote location.

That's why, when it comes to information about rank S monsters ...... and even a new type of dragon, it was natural to want to know as much as possible as a guild employee.

''I heard that you had defeated a rank A monster in the Demon Forest, and more importantly, I knew that some of the most skilled people with demolition skills were taken from the guild staff. But ...... I didn't expect you to defeat a rank S monster, even a new kind of dragon. ......

Lenora comes up with a dexterous imitation of a look of surprise and dismay at the same time.

To Lenora, Rey is the adventurer she is in charge of.

That's why it was natural for her to be surprised and worried at the same time, as she didn't expect Rei to fight ...... a rank S monster and defeat it solo, even though Seto was there.

Also, considering the fact that he was promoted to rank B in an unusually quick manner and became known as the Crimson, it was also natural.

''Let me tell you something, it's not like I was aiming to fight the Crystal Dragon, okay?　We stumbled upon it while we were operating in the Demon Forest, and it resulted in a fight.

In fact, a crystal dragon showed up, attracted by the smell of the monster that Ray and Set had defeated, and he had to fight Ray and Set, but ...... decided it would be best not to tell them the details of the situation, so he kept quiet.

'You're walking around that area and you happen to run into a dragon ......?'

Kenny muses at Ray's words.

He didn't completely believe Ray's words, but he also had the thought that if it was a demon forest, it could be a possibility.

''Yeah, that's for sure. I've encountered many other monsters, but I've already had those dismantled by the guild.''

Both Lenora and Kenny looked convinced about the matter.

The guild staff, who were good at dismantling, had been put together and were no longer there.

As long as they had more work to do, there was no doubt that some work was being passed on to those who were gone.

However, the masters only dismantled only the rank A monsters that Ray had defeated, and the rest of the monsters were left to the Raleigh dismantlers or still stored in the Mystyring.

In that sense, it's not that I can't show you the monsters in the Demon Forest.

''So ...... you're safe, Ray, right?

'Yeah, you're safe and sound in front of Kenny, right?　That's all you need to know.

In fact, I was damaged and injured. The biggest part of it all was still the mental fatigue.

He had encountered a rank S monster, a dragon, and defeated it along with Set.

It was impossible to not get mentally fatigued by that.

I'll keep quiet about those things for now.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the job done.

'...... Yes, that's right. And from the looks of it, it doesn't look like you're injured anywhere.

Hey, Lenora!　Ray, I'm sure you might be hiding it again!

I'm sure, again.

The words come out of Kenny's mouth, subtly unheard of to Ray.

Although, he didn't want to listen to it, because it didn't seem like it was going to be fun for him to pursue it.

'It was a crystal dragon, wasn't it? Was it still strong?

''Yeah. Except for the fact that it's a rank S monster, it was strong.

Dragons are one of the strongest species in this world.

Since I fought such a dragon, considering that, I can only say that Ray's impressions are light.

Nevertheless, Lenora and Kenny are fully aware that it is Ray.

They should at least be happy that Ray was safe, and continue talking.

'So now you're a dragonslayer too, Ray. You're ...... alias and you're a Dragon Slayer ......?

Kenny muttered sincerely.

However, it's not actually that rare to be a Dragon Slayer with an alias.

I'm sure that if you look at the adventurers as a whole, there is no doubt that they are in an overwhelmingly small number.

It's a good idea to have a different name for a person who has accomplished some great feat.

For example, Ray's nickname "Crimson" comes from the fact that he single-handedly inflicted heavy damage on the Bestia Imperial Army in their war with the Bestia Empire.

In other words, most alias holders basically have powerful fighting abilities.

That's why it's not ...... difficult to win if you fight a dragon solo ...... but it's not impossible, and the result is that the aliens become dragon slayers in their own right.

However, it's also true that dragons aren't that easy to find in the first place.

Although we had talked about the crystal dragons and the Demon Forest enough as it was, we can't stay here talking about it forever.

I'm sorry, but I need to talk to the workers about a number of things. That's why it's time for me to go upstairs.

Er, .......

Kenny looked unhappy with Ray's words, but Lenora nodded.

'Yes, I suppose so. They'll probably be waiting for you upstairs. We can't stay here forever listening to Ray-san talk to us, can we?'

Sorry.

I'm sure Lenora would like to hear more from Ray if she could.

However, considering Ray's position, he decided that he couldn't keep her here in this position.

Because he knew how Lenora felt, Ray spoke words of thanks to Lenora.

...... Kenny gives Lenora such a look of envy.

Nevertheless, Kenny does not complain.

The other guild employees in the guild were also satisfied with what they heard from Ray to some extent, but they didn't mimic holding Ray back and looked away.

However, there were naturally some guild employees who wanted to hear more from him, and they looked at Ray expectantly.

If there was a little more time, Ray could have talked to them in his own way, but unfortunately, considering the current situation, he couldn't afford to take such a long time.

Ray went straight through the gaze and headed for the stairs behind the counter.

By the time Ray was inside the guild, many were still on the stage at the front of the guild, looking at the corpse of the crystal dragon.

''That merchant is suspicious too. Be a little careful.''

Egg's subordinate looks at the person who would be dressed as a merchant ...... to be exact, and tells him so.

The subordinate instructed doesn't know what in the world is suspicious about the merchant.

However, you can't just disobey your boss's words for no reason and head to the merchant.

The number has decreased considerably, but there are still quite a few of them. ...... it's a real pain in the ass.

A man who says that to his colleagues, not his subordinates.

In fact, the number of people in the room is much smaller than when Dusker was doing the ceremony.

But even so, those who had heard from those who attended the ceremony had gathered to see the corpse of a rank S monster ...... that was also a new kind of dragon, as if they would miss the chance to see it.

Many of such people were naturally suspicious.

Although, of course, they are inferior to those who were here from the beginning.

After all, the fact that they were coming to this place now meant that they were the ones who hadn't been able to obtain information about the release of the Crystal Dragon's corpse.

Information is important in the surface world, but it is just as important in the background world as well.

The people who did not have access to such information are inevitably one or two steps inferior to those who were here at the beginning.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

It's a good thing that you're busy for today. The only time you've been busy is today. Why don't you just rest there and relax?

That being said, the man, whose eyes have been overworked, rubs his eyes and replies that yes, he is.

With the intense sunlight pouring down, the man is disgusted by it, but turns his gaze to the crowd again.

As he does so, his gaze is almost drawn to the corpse of the crystal dragon, but the man deliberately averts his gaze from it.

To the man, the corpse of a crystal dragon is a hindrance to finding a suspicious opponent in the sense that it would attract his eyes.

That's how overwhelmingly powerful the crystal dragon's corpse was.

(Even a corpse looks like that. I wonder what would have happened to ...... one body if that one had lived).

The reason why the corpse was so lively, and that's exactly why it looked like it was about to move now, was because of the use of Marina's spirit magic.

However, for those who were unaware of such things, it would not be surprising if some of them were overwhelmed by the crystal dragon's corpse, their mouths wide open and overwhelmed.

Occasionally, there were those who approached the stage as if drawn to it, but those who did were stopped by the adventurers and knights who were escorting them to the front of the stage.

(A little more ...... later? I hope it all goes off without a hitch.)

With that thought in mind, the man concentrated on seeing if there were any suspicious partners.
