Legend

Concon.

As I was having a banquet in the warehouse, I heard the door of the warehouse knocked unexpectedly.

"Who is it?

One of the Guild's employees groans in surprise, but his voice remains unsuspecting.

I know there are escort adventurers in front of the warehouse, and above all, there are Ray here who became a Rank A adventurer today.

That's because you understand that there are people who can deal with whatever happens here right now.

Besides, I also have a parent.

He's a parent who barely talks about the old days, but if he still works for the guild, he certainly hears the rumors.

Rumor has it he used to be a pretty good high-ranking adventurer.

Since the adventurer has retired and the years have passed, it will not be possible for the parent to demonstrate the same strength as before.

But still, if you're a Genkaku Adventurer, you're very talented.

In this way, the Guild staff who were enjoying the festival during the banquet came to the warehouse, but they didn't knock at the time and came in normally.

It's only natural that everyone should care about the person who knocked...

"I'm going to take a look at it while I'm hungry."

That's why one of the Guild employees stood up and headed towards the door.

If someone outside the door is harmful, don't act like you're waiting for someone to knock and respond, and they'll come right in.

... if I knew Ray was in the warehouse, it might be something else.

However, those who know who is currently in the warehouse will be the only escort adventurers who are guarding the warehouse doors, except those who are currently in the warehouse.

"What, what's going on?

Open the door and the guild official asks, "It was the adventurer who was still escorting this place."

"It's time for Ray to bring me the body of the crystal dragon."

"... oh"

Understanding the meaning of the words coming out of the adventurer's mouth instantly turns the expression of the guild staff who had enjoyed the banquet earlier into a serious one.

That's not all.

The words of the Adventurer are taken seriously not only by the Alliance staff who responded, but also by the expressions of other Alliance staff who were in the Warehouse.

Previously, Ray's cooking and the Alliance staff who arrived late at the warehouse were having a fun feast, like eating food bought at the stall or explaining the tools used to dismantle crystal dragons, but the fun disappeared in an instant.

Of course, even though it was a banquet and nobody drank any alcohol, my expression changed instantly... that's probably why I got into a combat situation.

And, of course, the same is true of the parents who are leading the guild staff here....

Ray, can you do me a favor?

Although it was a short word, the word had serious force.

"Okay."

While watching the Guild staff, Ray also obeyed his parents' words honestly.

"Well, I'm going to get the body of the crystal dragon, so clean this place up and get ready to dismantle it."

Ray's words prompted the Guild staff to move quickly.

Ray walks out of the warehouse with that look on his back.

The sky is already red dyed at sunset, indicating that it has been quite some time since we entered the warehouse.

Still, I heard a pleasant voice outside the guild.

We all know, as a matter of course, that tomorrow we will return to the same work as before.

But still today... many people want to enjoy the festival to the fullest.

(That's fine, but I think he might come out with me because I'm hungover and I can't work even though I'm working tomorrow.... well, that's not something I'm worried about.)

Ray calls out to the warehouse guard adventurer and heads out of the Alliance, thinking he deserves it.

Crystal Dragon Carcasses are still decorated on the stage in front of the Alliance.

Many are blinded by the beauty of their bodies, which are dyed red by the sunset.

However, the Crystal Dragon has a dynamism that is likely to be activated by the Spirit Magic of Marina.

That's why it was not only beautiful, but also terrifying that it was dyed red at sunset.

Adventurers and knights escorting around the stage also looked at the crystal dragon many times.

(Um, is this... really okay to take it with you in this situation? That's why I feel like people around the stage will blame me if I imitate taking a body in this situation.)

I think so, but I don't know what the guild staff waiting in the warehouse would say if I did something like waste time here.

That said, under no circumstances would it have been necessary to store the body of a crystal dragon.

(I don't want to.)

Ray approached the stage, feeling sorry for those whose eyes were taken away by the red dyed crystal dragon at sunset.

Naturally, the knights and adventurers guarding the stage will notice Ray's appearance... but if he was approaching a suspicious person, he would have seized him immediately, except for Ray, the owner of the crystal dragon's corpse.

Ray, what's going on?

"I think it's time we finished releasing the body of the crystal dragon."

Huh? What?

I guess the words out of Ray's mouth were surprising enough.

He looked at me in surprise.

The corpse of a crystal dragon now dyed red by the sunset was an incredible sight to see.

That being the case, it is no wonder that in this situation it is a disturbance to take the body of a crystal dragon.

"Well, could you wait a little longer? Otherwise, it's just... I don't think everybody's convinced."

That's what the escort adventurer said.

If there is no more dead Crystal Dragons in this situation, there is no doubt as to why such imitation is necessary.

That way, there will be many people who are dissatisfied.

If you are an adventurer or a knight entrusted with escorting this scene, you will definitely want to avoid such a thing.

Nevertheless, if Ray was only a few minutes away, he could not imitate waiting for the sunset to sink completely for a few minutes.

If such imitation were to be made, it would be delicate whether the parent could endure it.

That's what you're doing if you're bad! There was also the possibility that he would yell at me.

That's how they were motivated to dismantle the Crystal Dragon.

"Even if they say so. My parents are waiting for me at the warehouse. It's like being motivated."

"Wow...."

I bet you were talking to Ray because he was an adventurer.

Show Ray that you are satisfied with his words.

But the adventurer and the knight who had heard Ray's words did not fully understand what they meant.

"Still, this is how many people are watching the body of a crystal dragon, so would you mind waiting a little longer?

Then you tell your parents it'll take a little longer.

Ray wanted to say that, but Ray understands that knights are also mean and not saying such things.

"We're almost there."

After all, Ray talked about such a compromise.

If there were fewer people watching, Ray would have stored the body of the crystal dragon, even though he was pathetic.

But we still have a good number of people.

If you do something like take it with you, there will undoubtedly be people who are dissatisfied.

Because it is a festival, I honestly want you to finish without dissatisfaction if possible.

Not to mention, this festival is a festival to celebrate Ray's promotion.

The appearance is different, but in fact it is.

Of course, Ray still wants you to have fun.

(My parents... it's not that long, so I'll let them wait. I have to hope the adventurers won't leave the warehouse.)

Parents in the warehouse will not be able to leave the warehouse until the dismantling is complete, just as Ray asked for a Rank A monster a while ago to be dismantled.

Not to mention the new dragon of Rank S monsters that will be dismantled this time.

There is no doubt that the standards are stricter than before.

That's why I don't want my parents to come out of the warehouse too late.

"Oh, of course. Sorry, thank you."

In Ray's words, the Adventurer shows relief... and sees the body of a crystal dragon placed on the stage again.

No matter how many times you look at it, the sight will take away your eyes.

Ray was also caught and looked at you, and I think it would be nice to extend the time to keep it public, even though it is a little.

Nevertheless, when I went back to the warehouse, I was still worried.

(No, if I complain, can I release the body of the crystal dragon? That way, I'll concentrate on you. … maybe)

The people currently in the warehouse are Guild employees, but also craftsmen.

However, it has a character that should also be called craftsmanship, and even if you are angry, if you show something of interest, it is not strange that you should be drawn to it.

Nevertheless, I could not deny the possibility that it would be said later only at that time.

(Yet... this crystal dragon is truly amazing.)

Ray sees the body of a crystal dragon on the stage and thinks it stings.

The corpse of a crystal dragon dyed red by the sunset is very beautiful.

Ray fights Crystal Dragons, so I'm guessing that's what he thinks.

And while you're being taken away, time passes.

As time passes, the color of the sunset changes, and the color of the crystal dragon's corpse changes over time, even in the same red, to entertain the eyes of the viewer.

Soon, Ray also focused on changing the color of the crystal dragon's corpse.

In the meantime... as the sunset hides behind the walls that cover Gilm, the surroundings gradually get darker.

Without the walls, I might have enjoyed the corpse of a crystal dragon dyed a little more at sunset, but I can't help thinking about that now.

Given Gilm's location on the border, it's unlikely that there are any walls to protect the city.

There are boundaries, but that is not absolute.

... the only optimism is that we don't have to worry about the most important and vigilant bandits outside our borders.

I just want to see the dead crystal dragons dye in the sunset, so I can't even tell Ray about breaking down the walls...

"It's time for this crystal dragon's corpse to be released. I want those who came to see me not to forget this sight!

One of the knights... that's what the highest-ranking knight in the audience says.

Those who were around the stage, in the words of such a knight, unfortunately left.

(If this is Japan... or the Earth, maybe we can light it up with LEDs. You can't do that with Elgin. However, even if it can be done, it can't be imitated like wasting time decorating it any more.)

Somehow it's been a long time, but there are still Alliance employees waiting in the warehouse, starting with their parents.

That said, it is very unlikely that we can decorate the body of the crystal dragon with something more LED here.

Nevertheless, it seems quite user-friendly if there is an LED magic item to lay it out.

(You may want to look for such magic items later.... no, I'll be on my way to Egginis soon after one of today's events, so should I look over there anyway?)

Egginis is a city full of golems, but it should also have the right technology for magic items.

With that in mind, Ray went up to the stage… storing the body of the crystal dragon in a mystery ring.
