Legend

Thank you for helping these children. I work at this orphanage, my name is Anne.

Saying that, the woman ...... Anne bowed deeply towards Ray.

Currently, it's Ray and Anne, as well as several other employees who are in the room.

The children are currently playing with Set in the garden.

Of course, something must not happen between you and Set, so there are a few staffers there as well.

Don't worry about it. It's not a good idea to have a child killed while Set and I were having a meal, it would have been a bad aftertaste. Besides, ...... I'm sure Set would have saved them even if I hadn't.

That's something you can be sure of for Ray.

Set has no mercy on opponents or those whom Ray hates, but otherwise, he is basically friendly.

And, as was the case with Gillum, he perceives the child as someone to play with.

It's a good thing that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you're not going to get away with it.

You can find a lot more than one of these in the marketplace. I didn't expect ...... those kids to do something like that to escape the city. ......

"Don't be too upset with Camilla. "Don't be too upset with Camilla, I was just trying to give the little ones a full meal. ...... Well, what I did was nothing short of reckless.

Anne has a sad look on her face at Ray's words.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

After all, if you sell this necklace ......

No. Isn't that the only thing your parents have left you?

The other staff members tell Anne, who mumbles to herself as she runs her hand over the necklace that hangs around her neck.

The necklace seems to have been left by his parents.

But the necklace does not seem like a luxury item, even to Ray's uninformed eyes.

It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll find that the value of a person's life is far less than in Japan, so it's inevitable that orphans will be left out.

I'm sure there are still a good number of orphans in this orphanage besides those who are playing with Set.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a lot of money out of it, even if you sell it, because it's just a cheap necklace, even if it's important to Anne.

It's doubtful that it would even be enough for one meal for all of us.

It's really a matter of life and death, but in the current situation, the others were not willing to sell it either.

The first thing that comes to mind is that there is a good amount of ...... wolf meat in the necklace. I'm not sure we'll all be hungry.

"Huh?　Is that ...... okay?

For Anne and the others, they would wonder why Ray would do such a thing.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, because you can't help but notice that the taste of wolf meat is not as good as monster meat, so it would be a bad aftertaste to just abandon it, so there's no problem in giving it all to Ray.

"Oh. And this wolf is the one that Camilla and her friends attacked. In other words, you could say that Camilla and her friends got the credit for it.

For a moment, isn't that too much to ask of yourself?　But if, in fact, Camilla and her friends had not been attacked by a pack of wolves and come to where Ray and the others were, there is no doubt that the wolves would not have been defeated.

In that sense, I'm not saying that I'm wrong, although I'm exaggerating a bit.

I'm sure you're not the only one who has been attacked by a wolf, so I agree with Ray's words.

The fact is, though, there is no doubt that I had a lot of thoughts on the matter.

I'm sure the kids are hungry too, right?　Let him eat.

Saying this, they take out the meat of the dismembered wolf.

Anne and her friends look in surprise as the wolf meat is suddenly removed from an empty space and placed on the table.

If this is a Gillum, many of us know that Ray has a mystilling, and many of us have seen Ray use a mystilling with our own eyes.

Or, if you're an adventurer, it's not surprising that you know about item boxes.

But while this city is a reasonably large city, it is more of a rural town.

It's not a guild or anything, it's a room in an orphanage, and inside the room is an orphanage worker who is neither an adventurer nor an adventurer.

As such, it was not surprising that many of them had never heard of an item box itself.

I don't care about Mystyring right now, it's not about meat. It's more about the meat. The only thing that matters is that I'm the one who dismantled the wolf, so it's not as good a dismantling as they sell it in the store, but it's not for sale, it's just for consumption in this orphanage, so it's okay, right?

Although his dismantling skills have improved compared to the past, he is still not able to imitate the butcher's meat, where he considers the appearance of the meat before dismantling it, just like in a butcher shop.

I'm not sure if it's the same as the meat sold at the butcher's, but it's a mess.

This is the difference between an amateur and a real professional.

Can we get all of this ......?

Anne asks with a look of trepidation.

There is no doubt that this much wolf meat would be a great help to Anne and her friends.

That would give the children enough food to fill their bellies.

Yeah. I don't really like this wolf meat, and I'm not a fan of it. And you'll need this ...... too.

The next thing Ray took out of the table ...... not from the table but from the mistilling on the floor is a wolf pelt.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're looking for a job.

I'm sure Ray thought carefully about that area when he dismantled it.

I'm sure you'll find that this fur, as you can see, belongs to a wolf. We can lick it and use it ourselves, or sell it somewhere else for money.

I was thinking that, although it was Ray, he probably wouldn't do anything like that, such as sell it.

It's still late summer now, but now it's autumn and winter.

Although this orphanage is not such an old building, you will still need some kind of firewood to keep warm.

But of course you need money to buy firewood, or you may need to pick up wood for firewood in the woods where you encountered Camilla and her friends.

But just as Camilla and her friends were attacked by wolves, the woods are not a safe place.

As long as that is the case, the orphanage wants to avoid using firewood as much as possible.

I'm sure that if you tan the fur of a wolf and make it into clothing, it will become warm clothing.

So, the orphanage's choice would still be to use it as clothing, not to sell it.

Are you sure?

Yeah, like the meat, I have no use for it. Yes, I'd like to ask you something. ...... Well, I'd like to ask you something, and I'm willing to pay you another monster's meat for the information if you tell me about it. What do you think?

"Huh?　It doesn't necessarily mean that we have the information that Ms. Ray wants, but that ......

It's about Exynis. Maybe it's not too far from here.

Anne was surprised that she didn't expect the name Exinis to be mentioned here.

In fact, the distance from this city to Exinis was not so far.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace. ...... The fact that it's not so far away is just when Seto flew through the air, and it would take a reasonable amount of time to travel by carriage from this city.

But the fact remains that this is one of the cities that is close to Exinis.

'Yes, it is. There are regular carriages going to Exinis, but they are not used very often. If anything, there are more merchants and other people who come to buy food and various other daily necessities.

From Anne's explanation, we can expect that perhaps this area is like a backstreet for those traveling from Exinis, and that there are other places that we would call main roads.

In Ray's case, though, it didn't matter because Set was able to ignore the roads to some extent.

(Huh?)　Huh?　Wait a minute. But you're sure you've been following the road, right?　(So, I'm supposed to be traveling on your main road, right?

Ray with such questions.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good idea of the direction I'm going at the fork in the road, but it was predictable.

It's a good thing that you've come to the vicinity of Exinis, although it's true that you took a wrong turn on the way there, it's still highly likely that you took the wrong turn a short time ago.

Otherwise, you could have gone in a direction that had nothing to do with Exynis.

(Safe, just in time. Safe, just barely, no matter what anyone says.

For the time being, we had arrived safely near Exinis, so we hadn't lost our way.

I never assume that I and Set are not directionless.

'What's wrong?'

Suddenly, Ray looked serious, and then Anne, who wondered why he showed relief, asked.

To Anne, Ray shook his head and said it was nothing, and then opened his mouth again.

I'm sure you know that since you asked me about Exinis, I was on my way to Exinis. And the flower garden on the other side of the woods was beautiful from here, so I met Camilla and her friends as we were eating there.

I see. To Exineis.

The fact that Ray is heading to Exinis is not particularly surprising to Anne, or anything like that.

Anne knows, of course, that Exynis is a city of a size that deserves to be called a mid-city, and she has been there on several occasions.

To be precise, the closest other city to this city is Exynis, although when it comes to other cities, it means Exynis, as the other city is Exynis.

Or it could be something like passing through Exinis and going to another city or something like that.

'Yeah, I hear there's a lot of golem development going on and stuff.

"It's true, but when it comes to that ...... high-performance golem, of course it's expensive, right?

I guess. That much is expected.

High-performance stuff is expensive.

It was natural for Ray.

Magic items, too, expensive things are expensive.

Of course, that's not all.

There are some magic items that are inexpensive but have high performance.

For example, a freshly minted alchemist made it, but it happens to be a high-performance magic item, a skilled alchemist made it that is hated by a person of high rank, ...... or a high-performance but flawed item It can be an item like that.

There are various other reasons for this, and even though there are high-performance magic items, there are cheap magic items.

But generally speaking, high performance magic items are still expensive.

...... Some magic items are expensive in a fraudulent sense, though.

I'm a rank A adventurer, as you can see from the exchange we had when we entered the city earlier. I'm also known as an alias because of the way I look. I can at least buy a golem.

"Yeah, I see. ......

At Ray's words, Anne's expression is momentarily complicated.

It's a good idea for Anne to think about Ray's words that she can barely manage this orphanage and that she has the money.

Although, though, quickly erase that complicated expression.

I think he was convinced that the money Ray has is money that Ray earned by completing dangerous requests.

That's not wrong in the grand scheme of things, but some of the money was earned by hunting bandits.

(Oh, come to think of it, ......)

The very thought of bandit hunting reminds Ray of some of the items from a bandit hunting retreat he went to on his way here.

Most of them were treasures or unused weapons, but there was also a bag of wheat.

Perhaps it was used by the bandits to make bread, but it's not new, it's old flour.

It's a good thing that you've got a lot of freshly baked bread ...... from the store that is also delicious in the mystic ring, and there is a good amount of new wheat in other wheat-based dishes.

It's a very good idea to have the old wheat ...... only to use it in a dust explosion when something goes wrong with it.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

However, there is almost no concept of "best before" date in this Erzyne.

Therefore, it is normal to continue to use old wheat until it is used up.

For now, I'm going off on a tangent, but I'll do this too.

Saying this, Ray took out the old wheat that the bandits were using from the mystic ring.
