Legend

"Dear Elaine, what's wrong?

Arla, who got out of the carriage after Elaine, sounds like she's going to notice him stop moving and stare at a point somewhere after getting out of the carriage.

But Elaine didn't answer that. She was just staring at Ray.

"Master Elaine? What is it, Master Elaine!?

Elaine, who usually responds as soon as she calls, doesn't respond to one thing when she does. How unusual that is was for Arla, who has always served on her side as Elaine's escort and caregiver over the past few years.

And Ara follows Elaine's gaze in a motion that can almost be said to be reflective.

There was one young man wearing a robe...... no. He was even supposed to be said to be a boy a few years younger than himself.

But it has nothing to do with Elaine, whether she's a boy or a young man, or a nobleman. Just judging you've done some harm to your beloved Elaine, you almost reflexively pull the sword out of your hips, kick the ground, and narrow your distance from Ray.

"What have you done to Lady Elaine?"

Its anger echoing around begins to move again the clocks of those who, fortunately, forgot their time and were in love with Elaine's beauty.

That was also true of Ray, who was intertwining her gaze with Elaine.

"Huh!?

If you are aware, you already exist within the attacking range of the woman who attacked you, who is wielding her sword heavily.

Breathtaking in small, almost reflective motions, he avoids the blow of a sword hanging down against his shoulder, pulling only half his body. The sword of a woman who cleaved the sky and pierced it to the ground.

It was obvious that if you saw the tip of your sword creeping into the ground as close as 20 cm on the contrary, you were genuinely swung down to kill yourself.

That moment when a woman put her strength into trying to pull through a sword that plunged into the ground. Put your right foot on the body and secure the movement, while kicking up your right wrist, which had a woman's sword on your left foot.

"Yikes!

I don't think the sword tip is the voice of a woman releasing a rigid sword enough to penetrate the ground. Even as I scream cutely, I let go of the sword that was gripping me with the shock of being kicked in the wrist. Without having to see it, Ray took the Death Size out of the Mystering, and a blade through the magic approached its thin neck to prune the woman's neck using the centrifugal force that rotated her body...

Kin, a death-size blade is played on something that flew out of nowhere making the noise.

(WHAT!?

There must have been no one near me but the woman in front of me. When I quickly look around thinking so, I see Elaine holding the sword patterned person when she pulled it out.

But the odd thing would be the sword. Only the pattern of the sword and the violin are at Elaine's disposal. The original body that should be stretched out of the wax is stretched out like a metal whip, and the whip is equipped with a blade as if it had been broken down regularly.

What kind of sword is that?

While I was surprised that a linked sword existed on Earth as a weapon of fantasy in this Elgin, there was an expression on its face that could be described as astonishing.

Anyway, it's not just a weapon that's been played now. It is a magic item that is materialized by your magic powers, produced by Warcraft. Yes, it is a magic item created by such immense magic that even Zeppyre was stunned, and a blow unleashed with magic on its death size. Normally, I take it, and the means to do it is useless. Even if it is prevented by a shield, it is enough to slice each shield smoothly, and there is no other way to escape death than to avoid it. That's how many blows they hit.

And the same is true of Elaine that she is feeling stunned... No, Elaine was struck by an extra big stunner. The blow of death unleashed on his men who suddenly attacked him. A sharper, more powerful, more overwhelming blow than any I've ever seen. How many times will I be able to prevent the same attack after now because my hand, which I have managed to play that blow, is still paralyzed by that shock? I feel something zorky in my spine even as I think that way.

(... what is this?

Anger, fright, impatience, sadness... none of that. Yes, I haven't felt that in a long time... joy.

For Elaine, who was talented and never failed to train at the same time, she was no match for the struggles of any of the neighboring generals, to say the least. The person who releases such a blow that he is under pressure. For the first time, Elaine's inner heart is stained with joy when she meets someone who can fight more than equal to herself.

But I immediately hold down that joy that springs up from within and open my mouth.

"Wait!

A voice echoes around.

With that voice, those around them who were in a panic about what had just happened regained their composure.

Ray also asks how he feels about that voice again by unraveling his combat posture, although he remains death-sized.

With a slight grin of relief at Ray's appearance like that, Elaine once again gives Rin a resounding voice.

"What's happening now is not the end of the story. Let those there apologize again later.... Do you mind?

The gaze removed from Ray was directed at the Lord of the City of Gilm, the head of this occasion, Uncle Larks Borderline.

"Right. If that's okay with you.... Ray, you don't have any objections, do you?

"... Yes"

He nodded small at Dasker's words and turned his gaze toward Chillari and the unawares.

"Seto, that's enough"

"Gru."

To that voice, Seto walks toward Ray as he rings briefly.

Where was Seto? The answer was Custe's current attempt to set up a demon spear toward Ray, who tried to harm his own colleagues. At that moment when his hand touched the demon spear, Seto kicked the ground without a sound and appeared in front of Custe, holding him with a sharp eye.

"Gu!"

A monster being taemed by Ray, who is looking down, even though he is a griffon. Custe distorts his face to the humiliation that he was sealed in his own movement by such a being. But it is true that Seto, who is now walking smoothly under Ray, stared sharply at me and couldn't move one thing.

Have arrogant pride, but still, Custe was not foolish enough not to see reality.

"... Griffon, you say?

And Elaine also leaks her voice unexpectedly into its presence, which passes slowly in front of her.

Rank A Monster, Griffon. It is incredible in itself that that monster, also known as the Reaper of the Great Sky, is in a place like this, and that it follows people.

"Larks Borderline Uncle, that griffon..."

Elaine asks the lord of Gilm, who has come close. Dusker snorts small at the way he asks about it.

"A monster whose blades were crossed with Lord Elaine earlier."

"I'm sorry, but I've never heard of anyone who could follow a Griffon monster because of lack of study. If that's all there is to it, isn't it spreading rumors?

"Right. But somehow it's not been a few months since he showed up in this city of Gilm. I'm guessing you didn't get a rumor to King's Landing."

"... Hmm, that sort of thing? If he was waiting for us here, would he join us in the dungeon?

"It will. I'll tell you what, he's not out of the rank D condition that was in the letter. Anyway, I just got Rank D about a week ago."

"How many people are there? Oh, I see. Can't you help it if it hasn't been months since you showed up in the city? No, thinking about it, should I say that I've been able to get up to Rank D in a few months?"

"You have a lot of merit in an oak crusade. Thanks to that."

"Our guy picked up the rumor that an orc settlement was created... well, that guy sure doesn't care what the orc looks like"

I nod to make sure my paralyzed right hand finally started to regain its senses when I played Death Size.

If you do have the strength to carry out such a powerful blow without difficulty, I could understand how the oak would look.

"Oh. Besides, I even defeated that oak king alone, which led both of those oaks, so its strength is guaranteed. As you can see, we can even follow Griffon."

"Have an oak king?... right, that much arm? Honestly, I didn't feel comfortable exploring the dungeon this time, but this is good. I'm looking forward to it all at once."

Elaine laughs with the joyful emotions that have been floating in her chest as it is. Dusker, who sees it, realizes that his cheeks are dyed red on that smile without merit, and coughs off his gaze.

"Mm-hmm. So, Lord Elaine. It's time to go into the city, but wouldn't you mind?

"Oh, of course you don't mind. After this, you can meet him face-to-face at Larks Borderline Uncle's Hall?

"Of course I'm ready for that."

"Helpful. I have to make Ara apologize, too.... Ara is comfortable and stands on her arm, but she reacts hypersensitively to anything that concerns me. I never thought I'd be slaughtered all of a sudden this time either.... Can I ask his name?

Asking so, Elaine asks, hiding her true desire to know her name rather than her responsibility for her subordinates' untimely demise.

"Right, I plan on letting him introduce himself when I get to the hall regarding the detailed description... well, maybe his name would be good." Ray. "

"Ray, huh?"

Elaine whines Ray's name by actually putting it to words in her mouth. Arla finally comes under such Elaine and bows her head.

"Excuse me, Master Elaine. Imitate yourself..."

And a short distance away from Ara, who was bowing his head, was the appearance of Ver and Custe.

"Hey, is he really Rank D?

"Apparently. Honestly, given her character, I don't want her near Elaine's side."

"Whatever your arm is, it's a negative element that you have personality problems. And seeing you interact with Ara doesn't mean you can do well with us. Can't we have another candidate?

"... don't hold on to Ver long enough"

"No, the dungeon we're headed to is still an untouched dungeon, okay? I just don't want to go in there worrying about the back."

"I understand the story, but it's recommended by Larks Borderline. I wouldn't say no."

"But!

"What's up? Not like you always are."

"No, you sure do. Speaking of not being the usual me, isn't it like me? Our boss, Lady Elaine, seems to like it, and if Custe, who is also the captain of the escort unit, would like to say no more."

Arla was embarrassed by Elaine, beside her whispering conversation like that.

"Ara, I honestly can't impress you with what you're doing this time."

"I'm sorry. Dear Elaine, please..."

"I hope you don't mind my annoyance. After this, he will be officially introduced to that man in the Lords' Hall of the Larks Borderline Uncle. It's like apologizing for what happened earlier."

Elaine tells us as she turns her gaze to the man playing with Griffon away from us.

"If that's what Elaine says."

Earla snorts at the order as she follows Elaine's gaze and bites her back teeth when she discovers a man there who was earlier on the verge of killing herself.

"According to Larks Borderline Uncle, we're going to act together in the dungeon with that guy. You wouldn't even want to dive into a dungeon in an awkward atmosphere as Ara, would you?

"Huh!? Is that guy...?

"Mm-hmm. I think Ara herself experienced how much arm she actually stands up for."

In those words, Ara remembers Ray's appearance earlier, or a blow that even slashes and rips the air, and the cold sweat bubbles up her back and forehead. In fact, Ara also understands that if Elaine couldn't help me, my life would really have ended there. And it won't extend to Elaine, her beloved own boss, but it also means she'll be more armed than herself at least.

"Let's admit that the arm of that one does stand. But my arm stands too high. I'm not detaining you to nobility like Custe, but why don't you consider a few more candidates?

To Ara's words, Elaine smiles bitterly and shakes her head.

"In the first place, he was recommended by your father to Uncle Larks Borderline, wasn't he? Anyway, it would be rude for them to dismiss you because you have too many arms, if you mean to dismiss you because you have bad arms."

"But!

When you bare your voice like that. Three figures appeared after breaking the crowd.

"What is it? Why is the Princess General here?

The person speaks to Elaine and the others with an innocent grin as if the prank boy had grown up as he was.

There he was, a person who carried a huge battle axe, also a magic item. Next to it was an intelligent woman wearing a robe with a cane and a young man with a long sword to his waist.

That is, Rank A Party The Axe of Thunder God.

"Lord Elk? Long time no see, since one of the spirits of the earth. In that case, Lord Elk was based in the city of Gilm."

Elaine smiles at her first comrade I've met in a long time. At the same time, Elk returns with a glowing grin, and Ming, his wife, also has a slight grin. But Rhodos, his two sons, was smiled at by the beauty of Elaine, turning her face bright red and distracting her gaze.

Elk opens his mouth as he grins at how such a son looks.

"Oh. This city of Gilm is my home.... So why is General Princess in such a neighborhood again?

"Stop being a princess general. Elaine is fine. My father gave me my life to dive into the dungeon. That's why I'm here."

"... to the dungeon? I know Elaine's strong, but that and diving into the dungeon would be something else, wouldn't it?... Oh, I see. Is that why you stopped by the city of Gilm? You hire a bandit here."

To that elk's words, Elaine, shaking her head, looks at Ray as she strokes Griffon but looks surprised.

Uncle Larks recommended him to me.

"He... isn't that Ray"

"Oh, you know what?

"Oh. Join me in a crusade against the Oak settlement.... Well, he would certainly have the strength to do something about it in the dungeon. And Seto."

"Oh, can I think of it as guaranteeing the thunder god's axe?

Unexpectedly, Elaine turns her gaze to Elk for a moment with the expression, but quickly remembers the strength of Ray and convinces him the other way around.

"Right. There are many clumsy places, but there won't be a problem."

"Right? I have confidence in my own eyes, too."

Elaine, Ara, and Dusker, who watched the Elk exchange a little further away, say so to Elk.

"Oh, Larks, what are you doing here with Uncle Border Dusker?

"Lord Elaine's welcome. Is that where you're going?

"Oh. We talked about a few trolls showing up. He wants us to do something before the merchants get attacked."

"... Oh, that said, you were up as a highly urgent report. Indeed, that is a request of high urgency. Sorry to hold you back, do something about the troll as soon as possible. If the merchants stopped coming here because of the periphery, the damage would be enormous."

"Oh, leave it to me. See you later, Elaine."

"Mm-hmm. There's also the dungeon thing. I'll be staying in Guild for a while. See you when you get a chance."

"Right. My son admires you, too. It doesn't matter because he's a mouthful."

"Dad!

I speak unexpectedly to my father, who suddenly uttered strange things, but the father laughs as luxuriously as usual and recieves it.

"Did your son say Rodos or something? I'm telling you, if you're gonna talk to me, it's on condition that you're at least stronger than me, right?

"Come on. I can't believe a man stronger than a princess general who can give that valiant name to the surrounding countries..."

That's it, Elk, who turns his gaze toward Fuji Ray.

"Right, if you say so, there was Ray. Are you serious about this?

Whimpering small in his mouth and about to say something… Min's wand is waved down to his head.

"Elk, I'm sorry we're having so much fun, but we can't afford this either."

"Hey, bad. Well, that's why it's time for us to go. Good luck with the dungeon attack.... Well, there's Ray, so unless it's too much to worry about, I don't think it's a problem."

Saying so, Elk and Minn go down the street, and Rodos, who was in love with Elaine, rushes after him again.

Elaine, who then dropped off her hindsight, turns her gaze to Ara again and opens her mouth.

"Apparently, he's also a Rank A Adventurer, with an elk warranty, huh? I don't think there's a problem with that.

"... Yes. If that's what Elaine says, I will obey."

I saw Ara reluctantly but convinced. Elaine turns her gaze to Dusker.

"So, Larks Borderline Uncle. Do you mind if I show you around?

"Right, you should do that. Stay in front of the main entrance forever and stay out of the way of those who pass by."

Dusker nodded and gave instructions to his surroundings to return to the Lords' Hall.
