Legend

Seeing the city from afar, Ray asks the children on Seth's back.

"Are you sure that's where you live?

"Yeah, that's right. It's just... we came out of the gap in the outer wall..."

I guess so.

A leader boy among the children... Ray nods at Camilla's words with a rusty dagger.

If everyone is a small, familiar village, you won't need to check your ID when you leave the village, but if you're in a city or city, you'll need an ID card to get in and out, and in some cases you'll need a little money.

However, the village is more familiar to everyone in the village, and naturally if a child tries to leave the village, it can be stopped.

Anyway, as far as Camilla and the others are concerned, it's very unlikely that they have identification.

(In that case, what should I do?

Point your gaze at the five children on Seto's back.

It is not difficult to put five children on the back of a ceto that is more than three meters long.

Nevertheless, Ray is basically the only one who can fly with Seto on his back.

If it is a child, one or two can manage, but it is difficult when it is just five.

Alternatively, it would have been possible to grab Ceto's foot or ride in a Ceto cage, but he is now walking on the ground.

"When that happens, can we go where Camilla and the others came out and get inside?... that would be difficult."

Already near the main gate of the city, you can see the guards heading right and left.

Of course not. Regardless of Ray, this is how Griffon, a high-ranking monster, approaches the city.

Still not so much - like raising the city - because Ray is walking next to Seth, and there are five kids on top of Seth that can be seen from over there.

"Ugh... oneechan's gonna get mad at me..."

"Well, it's okay. Look, you just caught a wolf. If you give it to me, maybe...."

That's what other children say in Camilla's words, but even if you say it yourself, you think it's unconvincing, and your speech butt gets smaller.

"Well, I came out without permission. There is no doubt that the orphanage is worried. You must be very angry."

Ray also heard some information from Camilla and the others as they moved here.

According to it, Camilla and the others live in an orphanage in the city, but the orphanage is never wealthy.

It is not that the person running the orphanage is luxurious, but that the orphanage is purely poor.

Of course not. In this world, death is far more common than in Japan.

Even minor illnesses and injuries could result in death in some cases.

Healing magic and potions don't have any problems, but healing magic is rare because fewer people can use the magic itself.

Potions and effective substitutes are naturally more expensive.

Many people die from injuries and illnesses.

If the guardian dies, the children get lost in the street.

Others abandon their children without being able to raise them.

It is orphanages that accept such people, but of course orphanages are tolerable, and not all orphans are acceptable.

In that sense, Camilla is lucky to be living in an orphanage.

At least, you can sleep in a place with a roof where you don't have to worry about someone attacking you.

But... of course, running such an orphanage costs money.

Those who left the orphanage and became independent, or the rich people in the city donated money or lived with support money from the lord, but it was still critical.

Not to mention the death of a merchant Ray didn't know about, but a short while ago, who regularly donated to the orphanage, whose successor decided that donating to the orphanage was pointless and cut off the donation.

As a result, the orphanage, which has been critical until now, has become catastrophically tight and difficult to manage and to eat.

Seeing the situation, Camilla took a few people to the woods.

It will take two hours for an adult to walk into the woods.

It was an act from the desire to feed the people below, but naturally it amounted to suicide.

In fact, if Ray hadn't come in to help, Camilla and the others would have eaten the wolf, not the wolf.

(Now, will demons emerge or snakes emerge?... well, I have a Rank A Alliance Card, and somehow my presence is famous in the Kingdom of Mireana. I don't think it will be strange.)

With ease, Ray keeps walking... and eventually reaches the side of the city.

The guards in front of the main gate do not run away in fear of Seth's presence.

Ray is impressed with that.

Gilm's guards are the same, but there are bad guards elsewhere.

It's like confiscating luggage by making it difficult for someone to get inside.

Of course, if guards like Seth come and realize they can't win, it's no wonder they're getting out of here.

But the city's guards aren't looking scared, but they're not trying to escape.

And Ray and the guards face each other silently for a few seconds....

Camilla!

And the voice of such a woman echoes around me unexpectedly.

As she screamed, a woman jumped out from behind the guards.

An enemy for a moment? I didn't think so, but when I saw other children shouting their names, starting with Camilla, worried from the bottom of my heart... and I didn't even notice the seto on which Camilla was riding - I think it was only Camilla and the others who actually saw it - so I can quickly imagine who it was.

The woman who is desperately looking for Camilla and the others in this situation.

It is not difficult to imagine that it is quite small because I give my children the minimum amount of food I eat.

Sister!

And Camilla and the other children jumped off Seto's back and ran toward the woman.

"I wonder where I've gone... already... already..."

I'm sure you were impressed to find the Camillas you were looking for.

A woman can't speak to the end, she weeps.

And Camilla and the others cry when they see such a woman.

Camilla was strong in front of Ray, but she walked from town to a place that would take two hours for adults to travel alone and was attacked by a swarm of wolves.

Luck... and without Camilla's spiritual strength, it would have been the wolf's bait by now.

"Ah... uh, you saved these kids, right?

After seeing Camilla and the others, she must have lost her mind.

One of the guards called out to Ray.

It's obvious that you care about Seto's presence while calling Ray.

Ray understood that, but she nodded after deciding that it was first time to let the guard down.

"Ah, there's a place a lot of flowers blooming a little further through the woods, but when I was eating there, there came Camilla and the wolves chasing me. I didn't wake up well enough to abandon him, so I brought him here for help.... ahh, this"

Pass the Alliance Card removed from Misty Ring to the Guard.

I removed my Alliance Card from Mystifying, but fortunately the guards didn't notice Ray.

Receive an Alliance Card...

"Eh!?

Such a surprise sounds from the guard's mouth.

Many of the people around me felt dusty about the touching reunion of the women and Camilla thought to be the staff of the orphanage.

However, since such a dusty voice came out of the guard guard's mouth when he saw Ray's guild card, it's only natural that many people should look at the air.

Nevertheless, the guards who had such a gaze didn't even notice it at all, compared Ray to the guild card, and turned their gaze to Seth....

"Ahhhhhhh! Crimson!"

So I guess we finally found out who Ray is.

I looked at Ray and said the nickname.

Naturally, that way, they can turn their gaze at Ray.

"Oh, crimson is my alias."

"Are you a Rank A Adventurer...? Rumor has it he's a Rank B Adventurer."

"I passed yesterday."

That's all Ray remembers.

Speaking of which, you forgot to get the money you won the bet on.

Nevertheless, it was after Ray's promotion that he became eligible for the bet.

With the announcement of his passing the promotion exam and the body of a crystal dragon, Ray was unable to walk freely through the gem.

No, I suppose I could have walked if I wanted to, but if I did, a lot of people would have known Ray... and they would have wanted me to sell the Crystal Dragon materials somehow.

In that sense, it is judged that it would be good to receive the amount of the bet once the disturbance has settled to a certain extent again.

If Ray had been running away from Gilm with the money, Ray would have made a loss... but I didn't bet that much, so I don't mind.

In the first place, if you take it with you, you need to get out of Gilm.

Gilm is a dangerous place, but it's also true that danger has many benefits.

The amount you will pay Ray and the various benefits you will earn in Gilmore.

If you think about them, you wouldn't normally act like you're running away from Gilmore.

"That's why you're the first guard to see that guild card."

"... what? What happened when you left Gilm? You need to go through the process, right?

"As an exception, you can leave the film without any formalities."

Speaking of which, all the guards except Ray were surprised at Ray's words.

No way...

In fact, it is quite exceptional that Marina should be free to enter and exit the city as a result of her negotiations with Dascar.

Nevertheless, Ray has been doing as much as he deserves and has brought many benefits to Gilmore.

Even with the construction work that is currently under way, it is now up to other adventurers to do the work, but there is no doubt that the work was essentially turned around at first thanks to Ray.

In that sense, it is not strange that Ray should be treated differently.

"That's... no, can't you imitate what we say about Ray? So... what do we do with this?

"Um!

The guard who suddenly came and lost his way with the anonymous Rank A Adventurer.

Such guards are shouted at unexpectedly.

The voice was heard by a woman holding children, including Camilla.

While Ray was talking to the guards, Camilla and the others must have heard about the incident.

Open your mouth to the guard with a firm gaze.

"I mean, you saved these kids, and I'd like to thank you for coming here once if possible...."

"Well, Adventurer... I'm also a Rank A Adventurer, so there's nothing wrong with entering the city. However, your griffon....."

After that, I could understand Ray without saying anything.

In other words, the residents of the city are afraid, so they say it's difficult to get inside.

"Ah! Seth is fine! He gave us a ride!

Camilla first objected to such a guard.

No, it's not just Camilla. Other children also expressed dissatisfaction with the guards.

From the forest to here, the children rode on Seth's back.

However, for the children, Seth was scared of the giant at first, but actually understood that it was friendly.

That's why the guards weren't convinced they couldn't get into the city because Seth might be in danger.

"As long as I listen to these kids, I think it's okay... are you sure you can't do it?

"Uhh...."

The woman in the orphanage asks the guards who said they couldn't get Seto into the city.

I've never seen a griffon near me before, so I thought I was scared.

But you saved my children.

I couldn't honestly agree not to let such a person into the city because I was afraid of appearance.

Rather than being beautiful, she turned to a pretty woman... The guards eventually told her that if Ray took responsibility while turning red, Seth could go into the city as well.
