GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It seems that the fruit Ray bought as a souvenir was satisfactory enough for Set.
Rae smiled at Set and looked after her... Actually, she was right to play so that she wouldn't get bored, but anyway, I saw the gatekeepers who were imitating her.
I also gave the gatekeepers who were dealing with Set the fruit I had bought with gratitude.
The heat makes it sweeter, but it gets worse as soon as it gets hotter than it should.
If the fruit has such unusual properties, but is now in the sweetest state, you can put the fruit in the Misty Ring.
In that way, the flow of time stops in the mistilling, so the fruit can be eaten at any time with the state that it is the sweetest but not worse.
(It's a pity that you can't cool it down.The clerk said that if it was cooled, it would also affect the taste of the fruit.)
In other words, this fruit cannot be eaten chilled, and it can only be eaten at room temperature.
That was a shame for Ray.
"It's delicious..."
One of the gatekeepers muttered as he ate the fruit and stained it.
Other gatekeepers had the same expression as those who did not speak but said that it was delicious.
Just fine fruits, slum dwellers... even if they belong to the wind and snow, they won't get the chance to eat them.
If this is Nina in charge of the negotiations, or Orban leading the wind and snow, it might not be the same story.
Basically, the gatekeepers here don't have many such opportunities.
... but it's not much, so maybe it's just the wind and snow that give us the opportunity.
"I'm glad you're happy."It's suddenly getting hot, so you'll need to drink a lot of water.I'm glad you ate this fruit. "
Besides realizing that it was his own work that raised the temperature, Ray didn't feel responsible for it.
That said, I wasn't thinking about doing anything to everyone in this city...
In the first place, it is likely that the Necrogolem could not have been defeated without Ray, and the current situation is clearly better than such a future.
"Well, the fruit of my souvenirs seemed to please me, so I'll be in soon."Good luck, gatekeeper. See you too, Set. "
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The gatekeeper bowed his head in gratitude for Ray's words, and Set snorted unfortunately.
As for Set, if only she could have stayed with Ray more.
Ray was about to head for the blizzard, but suddenly one of the gatekeepers called out to Ray.
"Ray, by the way, were you Anne and Lindy who left a while ago?"Those two came back a little while ago. "
Huh? Are you done?
The words were enough to surprise Ray.
After all, Anne and Lindy found Goliath, so where Goliath was brought in... Ray didn't know exactly where it was, but it was on its way anyway.
Lindy in particular is in love with Goliath.
That said, it was quite unexpected that Goliath would be back soon after we met.
But the gatekeeper who taught Ray the matter didn't know about the situation around there.
And when the two of you who were visiting Goliath came back, there was nothing surprising about it.
"Oh, yes. But... there's a lot of injuries in Exgenis right now, aren't there?"If you think about it, I don't think it's unnatural. "
Normally, I'd say so... but there's a lot of things going on here.
No way, Lindy actually likes Goliath... and Ray deceives her into saying things like that.
Hearing Ray's words, the gatekeeper looked a little strange, but he didn't hear anything more.
Based on Ray's condition, I guess I decided that I shouldn't ask him any more details.
In fact, the judgment is correct.
Even if he had asked more details, Ray would never have actually spoken about the situation in that area.
Ray enters the building and is taken to his usual room by the man who waited as expected.
Ray!?
Lindy was surprised to see Ray coming into the room.
I knew that Ray had returned to this room safely some time ago, after hearing from his people.
Even so, if I could see Ray directly, I would definitely be relieved.
"I heard you were safe, but..."
"There were a lot of things."You found Goliath, didn't you?... it was a bit unexpected that I was in Dolan's workshop. "
"... I see."
Ray's words reminded Lindy of Goliath's appearance.
Goliath, who looked like a musculoskeletal figure, was now so skinny that I couldn't even imagine what he was like before.
It must have been a shock for Lindy to be in such a situation.
Or are you thinking that if you had studied more thoroughly when you went to Dolan's workshop with Ray before, you might have found Goliath sooner.
When I broke into the Dolan Workshop before, I was quite stuck in time.
If I had found Goliath, I would have found Anne... I wouldn't have found anyone else who was an illegal slave, and I wouldn't have found the altar to use for the Necromancy ritual.
In that sense, it was a pity that Goliath could not be found, but it was definitely Better than Best that Anne could still be found.
"I've never met Goliath, but if I had heard of him, I wouldn't have broken him like this, would I?"Well then, you can support yourself and revive yourself as an adventurer.Besides... it's common for you to think without hating someone you've helped. "
Ray knows how to love someone who helped him rehabilitate.
... but it's not an actual experience, it's comic books, dramas, movies, cartoons... that kind of knowledge.
That being said, even in fiction, it's not uncommon for it to be adopted.
In that sense, even if current Lindy is not seen as such by Goliath, it is not strange to be seen as such if she cooperates in rehabilitation.
"I see...?"
Lindy didn't seem very confident, but if she tried Ray, she wouldn't be particularly impulsive.
I've already given you some advice I can give you.
Ray doesn't have to worry about this until he hears how Lindy moves.
Those who had heard Ray's words had a subtle atmosphere somewhere.
Did you feel that? Ray changes the subject after he coughs up a little.
"In the meantime, one of the Dolan workshops... and one of the Dylans behind the Dolan workshop ended today."That means we don't have to stay here forever... what do we do? "
Many people are puzzled by Ray's words.
Of course, after one of the Dolan Workshops is finished, we can't stay in the snow and wind forever.
When Ray came back earlier, he said about that area before he was told to do so.
So I was asked what to do again... but there aren't many people who can answer right away.
As soon as we are told what to do with our future lives... or even if we have some time, we won't be able to imitate it in the middle of the day.
(As expected, it is impossible to make a quick decision in such a situation.I don't think it's a matter of immediate life or death, so I think it's better to think about it carefully.)
That was the situation, but some people can decide what they want to do right away.
Specifically, those who have a place to return to.
“I'm going back to the orphanage.You can't leave Camilla in a place like this forever. "
"Huh?... hey, Anne-san!? You don't have to go home in such a hurry!?"
Camila was naturally the first to complain when she heard Anne's words.
The other guy who was in love with Anne said something, but no one noticed it.
"We need to hurry home."Orphanages are tough.Since I'm gone, you must be pretty busy. "
"Ugh... that's..."
That said, Camila can't argue either.
In fact, Anne was a very reliable person in the orphanage.
And since Anne became a slave, Camilla fully understands that the orphanage has become quite busy.
Of course, it was a shock that Anne was enslaved, and there were definitely a lot of problems, but it was still a big deal that Anne was gone.
"You got it, didn't you?Well, that's the way it is. I'll be back as soon as I can go home. ”
"Wait... wait a minute!" What are you going to do with Brother Goliath?!I haven't seen it, but it's pretty bad!? "
Camilla didn't go to visit Goliath.
When we were informed of Goliath, we were naturally informed of the current situation of Goliath, and our child Camilla was judged to be in shock.
... if you think about Ray, you don't have to worry about Camila's personality.I thought so.
There must be a difference between a man and a woman, or how close he is to Camilla.
"Please discuss and decide about that area."For those involved in the Dolan Workshop, it seems that they will pay the necessary travel expenses to return from those who are moving Exinis like Robert and Dwanda, and they will pay a certain amount of money with the meaning of an apology. "
The words showed that some of those who had been captured as illegal slaves were happy.
Ray doesn't know exactly how long he's been an illegal slave.
However, for example, if there was a person who served somewhere, Ray could have predicted that he would probably be decapitated at the time he was made an illegal slave.
If it is worse, I can't deny the possibility that I was made into an illegal slave without knowing that I was absent without permission and I could not get in touch with him.
Considering the situation around here, I'm sure that the illegal slave community here will be in a lot of trouble for a while to come.
At that time, if you have money, you can do something about it.
Or maybe some of them need money as soon as they're in debt.
"That's why we should decide as soon as possible what to do with illegal slaves."The alchemists at Dolan's Workshop, including Ilnara... I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm sure the guards will talk to me first. "
That's what Ray said, but I don't think anyone would disagree with that.No one speaks of dissatisfaction.
There is no doubt that they were not involved in the ritual of necromancy as non-mainstream alchemists, but they probably expected to be heard more than the alchemists belonging to Dolan's workshop.
"Speaking of which, there were some people who knew Ilnara when we went to capture the Dolan Workshop."I was worried, so I told you I was safe. "
That's what Irnara said, but I'm not so surprised to be told that there are people who know me.
Although he was treated coldly as a non-mainstream alchemist, he still knew he was a well-known alchemist at Dolan's Workshop.
Isn't it strange that there are people who know themselves like that?
Unlike Irnara, Irnara's men were happy to hear it.
It must be a pleasure to know that Irunara is liked by others.
Thinking like that, Ray kept talking about what he was going to do.
