Legend

In the distance, you can see a huge city... that's not strange to call a city.

It's smaller than the current Gilm, but it's still a little bit impossible to call it a city.

"Is that Exgenius?... Seth, instead of going down right next to the main gate as usual, let's go down a little further and then walk to Egginis. If Seto gets attacked, it won't be stylish."

"Gruuuuu"

In Ray's words, I understand! and a cheerful set of throats.

When I left the city where Anne and her orphanage were, I was surprised and scared by some people, and I felt sad, but I was satisfied that I could fly with Ray now.

That's why Ray shouted while gently stroking Seto.

(Even in Egginis, is Seto afraid at first? No, but unlike in the city, I plan to stay in Egginis for quite some time.... I plan to go back to Gilm often. Even so, Egginis residents will get used to Seto.)

Still, I didn't think that almost all the inhabitants would get used to Seth, as they did in Gilmore.

The accommodation Ray plans to stay in, the neighborhood's residents, and the stores Ray will visit.

In such a place, I have the feeling that you will get used to seeing Seth more than once.

While thinking about that, Seth descends toward the ground.

Seth also landed a little off the street, wondering if he'd surprised the first person he met.

If you look at Ray and Seth, they were... especially concerned about the security guards in Egginis, but for those who were heading down the street towards Egginis, the presence of Seth should have been on guard.

There are plenty of merchants and nobles heading for Egginis.

Those people hired escorts as a matter of course... not to mention the many bandits on their way to Egginis.

Even in places like this where Egginis is visible, there is no denying the possibility of bandits attacking us.

In the meantime, Seth came down a little off the street, so it was impossible to be alert.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that there are many bandits around Egginis, it is impossible to imagine a flying presence... following a Griffon.

And in the kingdom of Mireana, there was a famous adventurer with an alias who followed the Griffon.

That's right... in the streets, especially from the group that was close to Ray, the cavalry approached the one with Ray.

Gru?

What are you gonna do about the approaching cavalry? And Seto asks Ray who got off his back.

Ray was watching the cavalry as she stroked Seto saying nothing was wrong.

Once close enough, the horse becomes scared and unable to approach.

You're not a very good horse.

That's what Ray thinks.

Well-trained horses... horses that have nothing to fear on the battlefield will not be afraid of Seto.

The two horses that carry Elaina's carriage are typical of this.

But the approaching horse of the cavalry is afraid of the presence of Seth.

Still, I was able to get close to a certain distance because it was a trained horse.

If this was a little untrained horse, just a carriage, we wouldn't have been able to get this close in the first place.

In some cases, it was possible to run away from Seto at all.

"Huh? Oh, hey. What's the matter with you? Come on, move on. Why are you stopping? Hey."

The soldier on the horse struggled for a minute, questioning his love horse, who for some reason stopped suddenly and did not move forward from there, but eventually decided that the horse would not go any further.

I give up going on horses anymore and walk down the horse to Ray.

What kind of soldier looks like in his twenties?

"Are you sure you're a crimson ray?

Ah.

"After all, as far as I know, the only adventurers who follow the Griffon are the deep red rays. Well, why don't you come with us to Egginis? Does being here mean Ray has business with Egginis, too? My lord wants to talk to you."

"Even if they say so.... of course you're moving with me, but you're with Seto, right? What if you can't move like that horse?

"That's...."

Soldiers can't say anything back to Ray.

In fact, it was a fact that my horse stopped moving from a certain distance.

That being the case, it was possible that if Ray and Seth were taken, the same would happen.

"We can't just move Seto away, and it's hard to do that.

That's what Ray said, but he also wanted to avoid trouble.

As long as he obeys the cavalry, his master will naturally be a big merchant or a nobleman.

Given the circumstances around here, I don't want to cause problems here.

It would be nice if this were a place away from Egginis, but even though we are going to enter Egginis, we decided that the problem there was a lot of bad taste.

"Mh... mmh... I want you to wait a bit. I will mainly ask about it."

That's how the soldiers go back to where the horses are.

Was it a pleasure for the horse to get away from this place, or was it a lie that the horse didn't move at all when it was about to move to the side of Seth the other day? The horse moves quickly.

Cash.

Ray thought so while looking at the horse, but given the horse's survival instinct, it would be natural to say so.

"Now, what do we do, Seth? As far as I'm concerned, I can go with the soldier's master... but then I don't know what to do with Seto."

Ray has a Rank A Adventurer Alliance Card.

It shouldn't have been a problem showing it, but if the master of the previous soldier had imitated him to the guards, he would have been able to get into Egginis more easily.

It was only natural that I wanted to avoid the trouble of entering the city as much as possible.

"Gru"

Seto rang his throat as if he was lost and left it to Ray.

If possible, I'd like to move with Ray as Seto.

However, considering which one is better off later, I still think we should move a little further away from Ray...

Ray waited while stroking such a set.

A few minutes later, the soldier appeared on the horse again.

Nevertheless, the horse stopped his feet as a matter of course away from Seth, and did not imitate moving his feet from there.

Soldiers came down to the ground with a tenderness and came towards Ray.

"The Lord says he still wants to talk if possible... what do you think?

"If you say so, I don't mind. What about Seth? You want me to walk away? I think that's dangerous."

The danger in this case is not that of Seth, but that of the person who attacked Seth.

If you see a Griffon of a Rank A monster - actually recognized as a rare species due to its skill relationship, and it's equivalent to Rank S - it could be someone else who decides it's dangerous and tries to defeat it, or someone who wants a Griffon material and attacks it.

If you do that, you will undoubtedly suffer greatly from Seth, whom you have identified as your adversary.

To make sure that doesn't happen, it's best to have Ray by Seth's side.

"No, I want you to approach the side of the carriage in which the Lord is riding, Griffon... and see if it was Seth. The horse that carries the lord's carriage is a well-trained horse. I think it's okay if Griffon gets close enough."

I didn't believe all of the words, but I decided that Ray could give in to some extent as well, as long as he had given in so far.

If this was the case with a person in a position such as a nobleman or a big merchant who used his power to force Ray to do something about it, Ray would have done the same.

In that sense, the soldier's master dealt well with Ray.

"Okay. But... the fact that Seto and I are getting close to that carriage means that the guard can't get close to it, but is that okay?

If Ray were to tell the escort to leave at the behest of the escort, it would only be a final fall.

"That's what I said...."

Say so, soldier who looks in trouble.

Apparently, my husband was stubborn and never listened to soldiers.

However, as a soldier, it is Ray who speaks to his husband.

Because there are anonymous adventurers on the side, I thought it would be easy to deal with bandits and monsters even if they appeared.

... if the guard asks me if that's okay, I don't have a word back.

Ray had no intention of causing any more trouble for the soldiers, so he stopped poking around any further.

"Okay. If it's with Seto, there's nothing wrong with me. Just be careful not to let the horses carrying the carriage run wild."

Had you believed the soldier's words, the horse holding the carriage would have been fine even if Seth got close.

But that's just what the soldiers told me, and I didn't actually try it.

In fact, when Seth approaches, there's a good chance that the horses will run off and run off to the carriages... and so on.

That's why I don't think Ray would do that if he could.

However, the soldier opened his mouth with confidence, as if there was nothing wrong with seeing Ray like that.

"It's okay. That's what the Lord says, so if anything happens, the Lord will be responsible."

"Is that okay?

The words of the soldier seem to Ray to be largely blaming.

But if that's what the soldiers say... then Ray and Seto head for the carriage.

The horse on which the soldier was riding, when he saw Seth approaching, tried to escape... but immediately afterwards, he was held by the soldier.

"Come on, calm down. It's okay, it's okay."

"Burlulululu"

The soldier's words also showed the horse to be somewhat calm.

Such a sight occurred among the other cavalry as they approached the carriage.

... Initially, the cavalry who called Ray laughed and dazed at the unsatisfactory state of their horses, but as Seth approached, his horses behaved differently, waving and couldn't move a single step... Sometimes it was the only way to run and escape.

But... even though the horse holding the carriage is still staring at Seto, there is nothing unusual about it.

Around here, Ray must have heard the right explanation from the soldiers.

(It's not like I can't move, it's like I can't move.)

If you can't move, it looks similar and very different.

There was no doubt that the horse was capable enough to carry a carriage carrying a person called the Lord.

... but still, compared to the horse that carries Elena's carriage, it falls down one or two steps.

The horse that carries Elaina's carriage is the one that the Duke of Kelvin, a man of enormous power and means, gathered for her daughter without wearing a thread of gold.

It is an animal, but more powerful in appearance than the monsters around it.

Not only the appearance, but the hoof would easily crush if it were actually about a monster around it.

Horses that are comparable to horses that are out of standard are not so easy to see.

Naturally, the horse holding the carriage ahead of Ray's gaze was also mistaken in comparison to the other horse.

Have you read Ray's thoughts? The horse looks dissatisfied.

As he approached the carriage... the window of the carriage eventually opened and a man came out of it.

Age ranges from thirties to forties.

The man opens his mouth with a smile on his face when he sees Ray and Seth.

"Ray, I'm Baron Negle Dresten. I'm just as neutral as Dasker. Thank you very much."

Yes, you should have named it.
