Legend

It was Ray who made the ring embedded in the sap look flat, but the question was what to do with it.

Ray, can't you cut the hardened sap out of this tree?

"I can, but this sap is obviously not normal." In the first place, the sap doesn't harden so quickly, does it?... if you can think of it, is this ring affected, or is it a tree in the Trent Forest? Anyway, it's better not to bypass them than to understand their nature. "

If Ray bypassed the sap cut here, it doesn't necessarily mean that the ring won't suffer any damage.

If this is just a ring, or one of those magic rings you're selling around here, Ray can give it a try.

But this ring is a ring passed down from generation to generation in the Grimm Earth family.

If you break the ring, it will definitely be a hassle.

So why don't you just leave it in this sap and give it to Grimm Earth?

"That's...... but if you do that, you'll be in trouble over there, right?" And I don't know if Grimm Earth will imitate us like that, but we could be told that's what we did. "

“I know what the flat is worried about, but I don't think Grimm Earth would do that.”

Ray understood what the flat was worried about.

But as far as Ray knows, I don't think Grimm Earth has that kind of personality.

In the first place, Grimm Earth is not an influential aristocrat, even if he is an aristocrat.

The fact that I couldn't even join one of the three major factions showed that.

In the meantime, one of the three major factions, the home of the neutral Duskers, would be willing to sell the Duskers a quarrel.

It wasn't very easy for Grimm Earth to imitate that, but it didn't seem like Ray.

“You know, Grimm, you had more access to the flat than I did, don't you?”

Grimm Earth said that he didn't care about Ray's attitude, but the others... Specifically, Grimm Earth's wife, bodyguard, and guru don't necessarily accept Ray as such.

Given Grimm Earth's personality, I probably thought I'd accept it, but that's definitely not true either.

If so, Ray didn't have any particular business to do with Grimm Earth, so he decided he didn't need to force himself to meet him, so he was careful around there.

”That's... well, I know what Ray wants to say.”

Ray's opinions were well understood because the flat was also in contact with Grimm Earth.

There was no doubt that Grimm Earth was an excellent opponent for the nobility.

Still... Flat has met many aristocrats as an experienced adventurer.

There were many aristocrats out there who couldn't accept it, and some of them tried to run out of rewards or take something more than what they had originally promised.

That's why Flat is so vigilant against the aristocrats.

This is not just about the flat.

If you are an adventurer who has dealt with aristocratic aristocrats in a bad way, it would be natural for you to be wary of the area.

“I know what the flat is worried about. But you're going to give it to me via Dusker, right? Well, I don't think there's a problem if I give it to you like this."

"... would you mind coming to Trent's Forest to talk about this?"

"I don't know if you're coming or not. But I've only met a few of them, and I don't think they would do that, given their Grimm's character. Even if you do, don't come here to complain, but to thank me, right?"

In response to Ray's words, the flat thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Ok. So what should we do with this ring...?" Will Ray go directly to the lord's house and give it to me? Or do you want me to put it in a supply carriage? "

"I think a supply wagon would be better." Personally, I'd like to take it with me, but I'm going to have to leave the camp.... now that there's a Mithril nail, I don't have to be here forever. "

"No, no, when I think about what happened, I really want Ray to stay." I have enough experience so far. "

This is not a flattery or anything, but an honest feeling of the flat.

When something happened, there was a big difference between Ray's presence and his absence, and the sense of security was very different.

Many people were very worried when Ray was raiding the Gilm yesterday.

The flat is one of them.

Because I know that, Flat asks Ray to stay here.

"This ring may be important to Grimm Earth, but it's not something that needs to be transported as soon as you find it. Then I'll leave this ring to the supply wagon."

“If that's what Flat decided, that's fine with me.”

To be honest with Ray, it was either way.

So if the flat is decided, honestly follow it.

I'm sorry.

"You don't have to apologize for the flat, do you?... well, that's fine. In the meantime, if we find the ring, we're done searching for the ring."

“That's right. I thought it would take longer, but I finished faster than I expected.”

Ray's words also changed the mood of the flat, and he said something like stinging.

"The rewards for the Lizard Man's children... aren't so big, but maybe we should give them baked goods or something."

I will. Grimm Earth will take care of that, so you don't have to worry about the amount.

It seems that the amount of money prepared by Grimm Earth was quite enough.

However, a Grimm Earth ring is a heirloom ring passed down from generation to generation in your own house.

If it runs out and you can buy baked goods or dried fruit for the price you need to find it, there's nothing wrong with it.

No, you'd even think I'd make it cheaper.

"I'll leave you to it." I don't know exactly what I need. "

If this is a Japanese child, I think he would be happy if he bought sweets.

... there were fewer pastry shops nationwide, but there was still only one in Ray's area.

When Ray was in elementary school, there were about five of them, but there were fewer children, and in the first place, children did not buy much sweets, so it decreased one after another.

The only candy store left is not just for selling sweets, but even at night it was a school.

(Piece of cake. If I could make it this way, it would be quite a hit.)

In a world with a large number of children and no game consoles, it seemed to Ray that if there were a candy store, it would be very popular with children.

... I don't know what's really going on until I try.

In the sense of liking new things, not only children but also adults will be pleased.

But the only biggest drawback of the idea is that Ray doesn't know how to make candy.

Of course, I don't know how to make sweets such as snacks and bite-sized castellas.

For example, if this is udon, even if it's not completely udon, somehow I can understand how to make it.

But I don't even know how to make candy.

... in the first place, Ray's knowledge of cooking is just like what he saw on TV or in cooking cartoons.

There was no such thing as making candy in such a vague knowledge.

"Ray? What's wrong?"

"Hmm? No, Lizardman, I was wondering what would make the kids happy." From there, if I did business in the Gilm, it would be a huge boom. "

"... I don't know what's going to happen like that, but, well, that's fine." If I heard about it, I wouldn't talk about it if it was so profitable. "

No, it's not that big of a deal, though.

Is it a big business success?

"It's only a matter of making it happen." There is no point in not realizing it. That's why, for example, if you have a store that sells delicious food for one copper coin, you're sure to thrive. ”

Actually, it's different, but I can't even explain the candy, so Ray deceives me.

"What, are you talking about that hand?"... you know? Gilm still finds unknown monsters and materials on the periphery, so there's a lot to talk about. Some of them were specialist con artists. I don't think Ray hasn't hooked up with that hand, either.

"It's okay. I just came up with it that way."... but I see. Those are the ones who did it. Like the people in the slums? "

"You're there, but you're usually in the city." It would be a problem to stay too far away from those who tricked me.... Well, for the time being, that's the end of the story. If Ray doesn't have a problem, that's fine too, right? "

"Oh, that's fine.... I can't keep talking to the flat forever, can I?"

“Well, I see a lot of work. I was able to use a countermeasure other than Ray's for this case, so it was a little better."

It was a flat with a bit of a mouthful, but in fact it was somewhat less of a mental burden.

Until now, there was nothing I could do without Ray.

Nowadays, anyone can use the Mithril nails to capture the bait.

... however, since the barrier is stretched around the Mithril nail, you have to attract the hammer well, and in some cases, there is a risk of fatal injury by touching the hammer.

In that sense, it meant that the danger had increased considerably, unlike when it was better to leave it to Ray alone.

“I'm glad you made the flat a little easier.”

Saying that, Ray leaves the flat.

I gave him the ring, so Ray has nothing else to do.

I said that I was busy with the flat, so I decided that I shouldn't imitate myself here to disturb the flat any more.

"Good, Ray?" I gave him the ring. "

Just far enough away from the flat, Nielsen suddenly asks.

Ray doubts Nielsen's words.

"You don't mind, do you?" They said they'd deliver it to Dusker's mansion in a supply wagon. Don't tell me you think a flat ring is yours? "

From Ray's point of view, it doesn't look like the flat would do such an imitation.

In the first place, the flat was a capable adventurer.

Rank A Adventurers are not as prominent as alias Adventurers, but they are capable enough to be judged as excellent by the Alliance and instructed to build up their camp.

Besides, even if you don't imitate stealing rings, you can still earn enough money just by acting as an adventurer.

... Of course, some people might unexpectedly steal in such a situation, but as far as Ray could see, the flat didn't seem like that type.

"I don't think so." I just felt like that somehow. "

“Stop it, Nielsen thinks it's going to hit something.”

Fairy Nielsen... it's not just a fairy, but a fairy Nielsen who treats her as the heir of the leader.

Nielsen, who had been told to do so by Ray, turned his gaze to the disgruntled.

"I just thought so somehow, but I'm not saying that's really the case. Besides... you won't say that's absolutely impossible, will you?"

"I'm not saying no, but it's quite unlikely."... well, that's fine. I don't think it's a problem. Besides, if the flat imitates Lord Dusker's involvement, that's no excuse. "

Isn't this a flag?

Ray, who was talking to Nielsen, thought so, but remembers that there would be no particular problem.

If this was a flag, it would be that time.

"Anyway, now I hope that there isn't a new one coming out, and if it does come out, I'll just slow down."

That way, Ray would go through the camp with Nielsen and Set.
