Legend

The day after Oak's crusade mission ended. Lay, who slept until noon due to his tiredness in that battle and on the move, woke up hungry and had a little early lunch served at the wheat pavilion at dusk before heading with Seto to the guild.

Many saw Seto in the parade the day before, and were taught his presence. Unlike usual, there was nothing like just a little surprise at first to escape, and sometimes some people gave Ceto the food they had.

Every time Seto rang his throat and waved his tail to convey his gratitude, and it was already past the afternoon when he arrived at the guild because he was in such a state that those who saw it and stroked his fearful head and back came out...

"Then, Seto, wait for me at my usual place"

"Gru."

Seto heads to the carriage waiting area, as he is already used to, and Ray enters the guild.

If there was something different about it than usual, would it have been that several of the adventurers who took part in the Orc crusade had found Seto before entering the guild and stroked his head, back, or fed him instead of greeting him? Essentially, the nostalgic Seto was asked to sit with his throat ringing with joy.

Once in the guild, you head to the counter without looking at the board on which the requisition is affixed.

Several adventurers who were in the guild follow him with their eyes, but he talks to Lenora without being able to hang anything in particular.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Ray. Is this an actuarial on the oak thing?

"Oh. Finally, I'd like to ask for a redemption of the crusade proof site and the purchase of materials."

"Yes, you'll be fine."

Confirmed Lenora nodded, mysterious to oak crusade proof site many right ears, skin and fangs of the area that can be used as material for oak, oak archer, oak mage and oak general. Or oak mage eyeballs, hearts, tongues and back teeth that can be used as ingredients for alchemy and medicine thanks to the magic that resides in them. Various gut types that can be used for bone and alchemy that can be used as tendons and weapons of oak generals that can be used as bow strings. And the demon stone of oak and oak archer.

There were obvious differences in the processing of those materials. If you are handled beautifully, Elk handled it as an example, compared to Ray handled it if you have scratches everywhere or some are missing.

"Uh, wait a minute, please. Kenny, I need you to help me out a little bit."

Probably because the amount put out on the counter was considerably higher than expected. Speak up to Kenny, who was aiming for gaps in Lenora's conversation with Ray as she nicked next door.

Kenny comes to the counter and sorts out the material just waiting for his voice.

"This one and this one are perfectly handled. This is a little nasty. This is... a delicate place, but just to be fair..."

"Hey, Kenny. I'm the one who asked for it, but don't flatter Mr. Ray too much, right? That oak mage tongue is cluttered, so don't put it in the good stuff."

"Oh, yeah? Um, I also think Lenora is a little harsh..."

While interacting in that way, the material is divided into objects that are capable of being processed and objects that are not.

"Hey, what is it? The amount of that material. Besides, isn't that an oak general fang? Why would a kid like that..."

One of the adventurers who was drinking at a liquor store inside the guild is surprised by the oak material that is mountainous at the counter and asks a friend who is drinking next door.

The questioned adventurer looks at you with a frightened eye for a moment, but nods as soon as he remembers something.

"Oh, so you're back in the Guild this morning."

"Hmm? Yeah."

"Haven't you heard the rumors in the city? Oak built a settlement near the city of Gilm."

"Of course I know that. In other words, since I came to this city this morning, I've been told a lot about it at the inn. Damn, if I didn't ask for an escort, I'd go to the Orc Crusaders too... hey, no way"

Talk that far and finally understand what your friends are saying.

"Hey, wait a minute. So, what is it? So you're saying that kid joined the Orc Crusaders?

"Don't be."

"You're lying, aren't you? I don't care what you think. You're still a mid teenager."

"By the way. The other guys on the crusade told me that he was the one who put the oak king in place, right?

"... have an oak king? That kid?

"Oh. Not surprisingly, a G-rank adventurer just signed up for the guild said he defeated Oak King.... I'd like to revoke the word that I'm not surprised to say it myself"

"G-Rank......"

I thought so when I heard it too, looking at the friend who was stunned by the content of the story beyond my comprehension, so I carried the wine to my mouth with an unwillful grin, precisely surprised.

"Is that it, Mr. Ray? Is the material just here?

Kenny asks Ray before spreading the material over the counter.

"Oh."

But Ray just nodded small.

"I only have the demon stone of oak and oak archer... and oak king material"

"I have a situation. Oak Mage and Oak General's Demon Stone have business to use over here. I'm sorry, but I can't sell oak king materials because I might use them someday."

Since only two Demon Stones were available for Oak Mage and Oak General, there was no reason to sell them considering letting Seto and Death Size master their skills. Likewise, you can't sell only one Oak King demon stone.

As for the material, it is a valuable Rank B monster, so it does not leak into the Queen Ant example to mystify.

"Um, I'd like you to sell it if you can... No?

It was Kenny asking to emphasize his proud breasts, but Ray just shook his head small.

"There's a situation here, too."

"Oh well... well, can't you help it? So, this is all you need to buy, right?

"Oh."

"This amount will take a while, so wait a minute."

Nod when the quantity can't help but the quantity, until the assessment or appraisal is over, look at the board on which the requisition is affixed and kill time.

(In the meantime, we're talking about going up to Rank E today, so you're a Rank D and E crusade monster first)

Whimpering inside, choosing and looking only at the crusade request, I discover the requisition that bothers me.

"... Dragon lizard?

Yes, there was a request there that said a request for a crusade of dragon lizards as a request for rank E.

(Is that a dragon? Are you a lizard?... no well, there's no such thing as a low rank E for a dragon, so it's definitely a lizard)

Concerned about the strange name, Ray takes the Monster Dictionary bought from the bookstore from Mystering.

"Dragon lizard"

It has a dragon on its name, but is racially a large lizard. However, it was named a dragon because its size was slightly larger than that of an adult human being. Of course I don't throw up braces such as flames beyond being a lizard, but it is important to note that the attacks carried out in that giant are quite powerful.

The toxicity is weak, but its fangs are poisonous and when bitten, the movement is dull. Lizard deceased or ice based magic is a weakness. Also, the pain is dull and some wounds do not frighten me. Rank e monster, crusade proof site is the tip of the tail. The purchase price is 1 silver coin. Also, the meat tastes thick and I like to eat it.

(Giant lizard...... sounds kinda funny though)

"Mr. Ray, we're done assessing the material"

Lenora calls on me to store the Monster Dictionary in Mystering and head to the counter.

"The rewards from the Crusade Proof site, the purchase of materials and demon stones, and the rewards for this oak crusade request, combined with all the merits added individually… will be rewarded with 9 white gold coins"

The adventurers inside the guild who were secretly watching Ray scream at that moment when Lenora told him the amount across the counter.

"Hey, you're lying, right? Nine white gold coins is a reward for both B and A ranks?

"Fool, that's all that Ray played an important role in the oak crusade."

"Wow, why don't you come into our party?"

"It's no use. Rumor has it that one kid defeated Oak King?

"... Seriously?

"Oh. Or think about it. The reward for the oak crusade is two white gold coins. Nine pieces of white gold, even with the material and the amount of crusade proof sites? If we don't defeat the enemy general, we won't get to that forehead."

While listening to such a conversation, I receive nine white gold coins from Lenora, take the bags I am putting gold in from Mystering, throw them in there, and store them again.

"... as convenient as ever, isn't it? Oh, and please submit your guild card because it will increase your rank"

"Oh, you did"

Pick up your guild card and head to the back of the counter and come back in a few minutes. He was disguised as calm, but his face had the colour of agitation.

"Go ahead, I'll pay you back. Congratulations on ranking up. But the..."

"I'm suddenly surprised you're up to e, huh?

"Yes. Well, I thought it might be an honest dream, so I snapped my cheek. … It's been a few years since I became a guild receptionist, but I've never seen anyone increase their rank by two on one request."

"Wow, is that true? I knew you were amazing, Ray."

Listen to Lenora and peek into the guild card that Kenny has for Ray.

There, indeed, the guild rank had been rewritten from G to E.

Hear Lenora and Kenny like that, and store the guild card inside the mistering just because the guild squeaks again but that doesn't matter.

"Well, thank you for your help"

"I knew you wouldn't take the request today?

"Exactly yesterday today. I'll spend a day or so with Seto."

"Uh, that's too bad. If I were free after this, I'd like to have a drink with you."

"Hey, Kenny!? What the hell are you thinking?

Suddenly Lenora's anger flies at Kenny, who hung on to lure Ray out, but she waves to Ray and appeals to herself with all due respect.

Even as he smiled bitterly at the two of them, he greeted them softly and left the guild.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto greets Ray as he comes out of the guild with a delightful throat.

There were several adventurers and city dwellers around, but Seto rang briefly as soon as he saw Ray and left the scene.

Send Seto out looking somewhat sorry for the way it is.

To such a change of circumstances around him, Ray scratches Seto's head with a grin unexpectedly remembering until a few days ago.

"You kept me waiting. Let's go outside."

"Gru."

Ringing his throat and nodding small at Ray's words, he goes straight through the boulevard to the gate.

"Is that it? Did you ask for it yesterday today?

And give Langa, who has already just come out in charge of Ray, the obedient devil's necklace and guild card to complete the process.

"No, that's just not it. I just thought I'd take a little walk in the sky with Seto."

"I see. Oh, please don't fly or land near the city like I said before"

"Oh, I know"

"And congratulations on ranking up. Still, are you up 2 ranks at once? Amazing."

That's what Ranga says when she sees that the rank shown on the guild card was changing from G to E, and Ray smiles small again.

Having seen the condition satisfactorily, Langa returns the guild card to Ray.

"Then I'll give you back your guild card.... Mr. Ray."

"What?"

"Thank you for your hard work on the oak crusade. I am grateful to be captain of the Guard and one of the city's residents."

Pecori, and Ray, who was taken aback for a moment by Langa bowing his head, immediately smiles bitterly.

"Never mind. Even for me, it was a request with lots of things to gain. Like you said, you've risen in rank. Besides, I'm staying in the city of Gilm again. Fortunately, the oak prevented this city from being in danger."

Waving gently, he travels a little further from the city with Seto and crosses over to his back.

"Seto, please"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

It rings high, wings its enormous wings with a few steps of help as it continues, and goes up into the sky as it tramples the air.

Unlike the weather until yesterday, the clouds are thin and spreading, but it was felt by Ray that it was still summer weather, not something called a rainy cloud, but somewhat like a smaller entrance cloud.

Ray, who is wearing a dragon robe that can be described in such direct sunlight but with simple air conditioning, and Seto, whose temperature does not go through at all willfully, flew away from the city for hours without anything in particular.

Except it's a few hours away with Seto's wings. One day for those who normally walk and travel on the ground, and about a few days for those who do poorly.

That's all the distance I took from the city for a natural reason. The purpose is to absorb the demon stones obtained in the oak crusade.

Ray, who looks down at the ground as he flies over, discovers a place where no trees are growing like pockholes in the woods. I look around in the big mess, but I don't even see the monsters or the adventurers.

"All right, Seto. I need you to get down there."

"Gru."

Seto rings small to Ray's words and lands at the indicated location. Quickly check the perimeter after getting down to the ground.

Ray also looks sharply around the perimeter so that he can respond whenever a monster raids him while he's taking the Death Size out of Mystering again.

"... sounds ok"

"Grrrrrrrr"

All that is around is the trees that are stretching to cover the perimeter of places like the vacant land where the Rays are currently located, and no monster appearance existed, especially hostile to Rays and Sets.

No, to be precise, there were monsters like horned rabbits who were being asked to crusade at G-rank, but they escaped to a glance when they saw Seto, who was overwhelmingly different in character from themselves.

"Well, let's just say I can't seem to get in the way and finish absorbing demon stones here."

Thus, the flesh of the oak as a meal of demonic stones and cetos obtained by oak crusade in an invisible place was removed from the mistering.
