Legend

The day after we experimented with the fire whirlwind, Ray's appearance was once again in the Adventurer's Guild. The time is also about between morning and noon, and the number of adventurers inside the guild is quite small. Few people in the tavern have been drinking since morning, to the extent that a few adventurers are having a slightly earlier lunch in preparation for their afternoon requests.

... Still no one is drinking, because there are a few people who are drinking whether it is a rest day or a launch after the request.

Ray walks up to the counter in the guild where the morning noise is quiet as a lie.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. Do you take any requests?

I shake my head with a grin as I watched Kenny, the receptionist who quickly discovered such a ray, wave at me with a full grin.

It's unusual that Lenora wasn't on the counter today, and Kenny was the only receptionist at the moment.

"No, today is the purchase of monster materials and demon stones that were stripped yesterday and the redemption of crusade proof sites."

"I see. Well, I just want to say let it out... How much? I have an item box, Ray, because it's about you, isn't that why you're accumulating a good amount?

Ray snorts as he sighs at Kenny's sharp opinion.

"Oh, that's a pretty good amount. I kinda doubt if we'll be on the counter."

"Really? Shall we appraise it in a separate room then? I was just in my spare time..."

"Hey Kenny. What are you thinking? What if the receptionist doesn't have one at the counter?"

A voice coming from behind the counter. That was Lenora's voice you could say you were used to hearing already.

Apparently, it wasn't a holiday today, it was simply pulling into the back.

"If that's what you're saying, Lenora's coming to the counter."

"You know, you just took turns 10 minutes ago. Besides, Kenny is sweet on Mr. Ray, so he's going to take a big look at quality checks and stuff. I'll deal with Mr. Ray."

"Hey, sloppy!

"I have your permission from above.... Here."

Chirali, and Lenora gazing at an elderly man who is also behind the counter.

The old man nodded small at Lenora's gaze.

"Oh no, Mr. Epoca... terrible"

"It's a guy who does what he does every day. So, Mr. Ray, can you please go upstairs to the conference room where I used the oak and rank up exams before? We'll check the materials and demon stones there."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

So Lenora and I head to the conference room on the second floor of the guild.

It seems that the meeting room was not used by anyone in particular. There is no such thing as a person. In this way, Lenora gathers the desk into the center of the room and creates a place without precipitation: a place to put the material on board and a place to sort the appraised items.

"You're used to it."

When I squeal unintentionally at the way it is, I open my mouth as I move my desk.

"Yeah. You can tell by looking at the counter, but it's not that big, is it? So if you have a large number of parties, or multiple parties working together to make a request, check the material in this conference room. When I say that, I come to the guild loaded with material in a luggage and carriage, and then I carry it upstairs again, and it's a big hassle.... If it's true, I just need to create a bigger, dedicated place on the ground floor, but it seems like there's a lot going on in the upper levels of the guild, and I repeat that if it's proposed, it will be rejected.... Well. Now that you're ready, please let me out."

Follow Lenora's words and remove demon stones, materials, and crusade proof sites from Mystering one after another. Lizardman, Lizardman General, Giant Spider, Water Monkey, Precious Species of Water Monkey, Auga, Sprigan, Emerald Wolf. And there are a lot of other things on the way to the dungeon and in the middle of the night camp that I put up on my desk.

Fortunately, a large number of water monkeys and emerald wolves are still mostly housed in mysteries. Even the Demon Stone is naturally missing the amount Seto and Death Size used to acquire skills, so the number of Demon Stones bought at the highest price among the materials is very small, which is a suspicious lineup of Alliance officials.

"I hear that less monster meat is what you give your submissive Griffon...... why is there so little demon stone? It only belongs to monsters of low rank, doesn't it? Even though the material itself is in good quantity."

"Uh, no. As a matter of fact, wake up to your hobby of collecting Demon Stones, and I'll be sure to secure two for each type of monster. For preservation and ornamental use."

"... Well, I know adventurers say they're freaks in many ways. Are you collecting demon stones nonetheless? You've also woken up to strange tastes."

(Was it a little bitter after all? But it's better than being surprised that I don't have demon stones every time I continue to sell material...... I'd like to think)

"As you know, I have an item box. Sometimes even if the number of demonic stones increases, you won't have trouble putting them away."

"It's convenient, isn't it? Well, then you're going to check the material. Oh, please put it on your desk when it comes to the crusade proof site. It would be helpful if you could divide it by type."

Ray will follow Lenora's instructions and classify the crusade proof site next to the material being checked.

For a while we were silent on each other doing our own work, but Lenora accidentally opens her mouth.

"Mr. Ray, you stripped this amount by yourself, didn't you?

"Hmm? Yeah, I'm working solo somehow. I can't let Seto rip off monster material."

"Isn't it hard to strip this amount by yourself?

"Well, sure. Depending on the size of the monster, it takes roughly half an hour alone."

Whether it is a small monster or a large monster, the act of peeling takes some unexpected time. Especially given the quality, it doesn't peel properly, and requires more careful treatment than that. Even though I'm getting used to stripping the material somewhat, it's even worse because it's finally about the average stripping speed compared to other adventurers.

"But like I said, I can't do more than solo."

(As for Demon Stone, I may be able to get through with my hobby of collecting it, but Seto's... I don't know how many skills Griffon shouldn't have.... yes, to the guy around there)

At that time, past Ray's brain was a beautiful woman with golden hair. Elaine Kelevel. Someone who knew the truth about Ray and Seto and still treated me without changing my attitude. If you're such a person, you may not have to hide one thing from me by partying...

(Well, you can't think normally)

Yes, I assure you lightly.

In any case, the opponent is also the Duke's Lady, and he is the princess general, arguably the greatest faction of the kingdom of Mireana, the symbol of the aristocracy. Even if such a person were to be an adventurer, he or she couldn't possibly forgive his or her surroundings first anyway.

"I'm not looking for a party member just to strip the material."

Pottori, that word leaked by accident, but Lenora reacts to it.

"If it's possible, it's possible, isn't it? Of course it's not a fixed party."

"... what?

Ray, who was lining up the tip of his tail, Lizardman's crusade proof site, looks back unexpectedly to Lenora's words.

There was a figure of Lenora confirming Emerald Wolf's fangs.

"So I said it was possible. Oh, you're not exactly calling it a party. We're looking for adventurers to strip and dismantle the material."

"... did you have that hand"

Honestly, I've only ever had the awareness that I'm only on the receiving side because I'm an adventurer. I couldn't think of the option of making a request. If you do ask for material stripping, it will be possible to significantly reduce the hassle of stripping the material from the monster. But...

"I know there are a lot of problems, but what happens around there?

Naturally, to say that the material will be stripped would be to say that the adventurers will touch Ray's defeated monster. And there are a few adventurers of poor quality...

"I'm sorry about that area, but there's nothing I can do about it here. I was wondering if Ray would have to interview the requested adventurer to make a decision. But once you get along with a great party, don't ask for a nomination or go through the guild... oh, please don't ask me that now."

"Don't go through the guild, please? Let me know more."

"... Phew. I'm the one who slipped his mouth, and you can't help it."

Lenora puts Lizardman General's eyeballs on her desk and opens her mouth, which is put in a case for preservation as she exhales.

"Occasionally, a client doesn't talk to the Alliance and makes a direct request to an adventurer. Naturally, most requests to say so are not decent requests. Something that is half-crime stained or, when it's terrible, it can be crime as it is. Most of the requests for that hand can be several to dozen times more rewards than the requests that are sticking out in the guild, so adventurers who don't know what's going on around there can get hooked. Well, there are some cases where a client doesn't want to pay an intermediary fee to the guild..."

"I see. For now, it's better to pass the guild."

"It will. I can't operate without an intermediary fee even if it's a guild. So please be especially careful what you ask of Ray."

"What? Why me?

Pocan, Ray looking at Lenora's face as if.

But Lenora continues to explain with a serious face.

"Okay? Mr. Ray is still shallow in the sun since he signed up for the guild, but he is also the fastest adventurer in the city of Guild to reach Rank D. I mean, while you're strong, you're not familiar with the circumstances behind being an adventurer, are you?... I don't think I'm very good with people."

"No, well. I can't argue with that."

"I mean, being arm stands but neglecting the back situation means you're susceptible to the crimes I just said.... Well, if Mr. Ray understands he's been set up, I think he's going to crush every other person."

Shake your head small as you exhale.

"Ah, but Mr. Ray has become famous in many ways in the city of Guild for being able to follow Griffon, so it might be hard to invite people like that."

"... so what am I supposed to do after all?

"Come on? Only adventurers are responsible for that area, after all. You can also struggle to strip the monster material yourself. It's also a good idea to hire an adventurer to ask for material stripping. So much so that I can tell you about the reputation of the party you're about to ask for."

"Is it a good idea to teach the reputation of other parties or something?

"It's not unusual, is it? As a guild, it's a normal service when you ask for an interview in advance."

After arranging all the crusade proof sites on Lenora's words, Ray nods thinking for a little while.

"Right, so why don't we just get it out as a request? When this appraisal is over, I'm gonna need the process."

"Yes, I understand. It will take a little longer for the appraisal.... Yet you've been very good at stripping the material"

Lenora shrugs like she was impressed while checking Emerald Wolf's fur.

"That's what I do alone. Even if I don't like it, it'll get better. Elk taught me some things."

"Mr. Elk? Of thunder god's axe?... Oh, so you know him about the oak thing."

Even the adventurers of the city of Gilm have top notch prowess, and Lenora remembers a character like the one the prank boy grew up to be. I have no doubt about my strength, but because of its character I sometimes make noises that don't clap, and Lenora has also been caught up in the noise that happened inside the guild several times in that relationship.

While the conversation continued that way, Lenora checked the material and the Demon Stone and ended it all in about half an hour.

"You're just used to it."

Ray squeaks at Lenora as she successively appraises the material, watching the exchange after she has finished arranging the crusade proof sites.

I snort small, grinning at Ray's words like that.

"That's what I'm used to, just like Mr. Ray."
