Legend

"... Phew"

With the effect of slashing the top off his neck, blood erupts heavily from the cutting surface, just as it did when Gamelion first defeated him in the woods again.

Ray hates that blood splash and takes distance from the carcasses of Gamelion's rare species.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Next to it, Seto, who had made a lethal blow to the head of a rare species earlier, had also gracefully descended to the ground.

"You did a good job. The timing was more accurate than ever."

I stroke its throat as I say thank you to Seto.

"Gru."

Saying it's a griffon and the upper body is an eagle, Seto growls as if the cat were in a good mood with her throat stroked.

If I didn't think about the size, it was sweet enough to just look like a sweet kitten to my husband.

"Whoa!

When I stroke such a ceto with gratitude, I can call from afar.

Looking at you, the four adventurers who evacuated in the woods earlier and Hasta were running towards Ray with excitement.

"Whoa, whoa, that's awesome. No, I just heard from Hasta there that you're Ray the Rumor in the City, but you're really more powerful than the Rumor."

"Yes, yes. No way. Just one of those rare species. No, I never thought I could take that griffon down by myself."

The warrior-style man I spoke to earlier when I was wrong, followed by a man in a thick cloth, an archer.

"Really. I never thought I'd run into a rumored rare species."

Then there's the bright looking female warrior equipped with leather armor and spears.

"No, not at all. I just wondered if my life would end here."

Finally, there's a man his age with Hasta wearing a robe and holding a cane, just like Ray.

Each throws a word of gratitude to Ray and Seto.

In the meantime, Ray turns his gaze to being a wizard and thoughtful being with a wand.

(A lot of the wizards so far seemed a lot surprised to see me... this guy is different. is the ability to feel magic as low as I am?)

I shake my head as I whine inside, saying it's nothing.

"Tell Hasta I'll be there if you want to thank me. He's the one who decided to help you."

"That's it! Sure, I asked for it, but wasn't it Mr. Ray who actually defeated this rare species! I was on the defensive side of some normal gamelion opponent..."

To the mundane hasta, the leader man of the adventurers slaps his shoulder with a laugh.

"Waha. There are fewer guys who can do something by themselves to a gamelion opponent in the first place. Ray there is one of the few exceptions. Exception."

Laughing luxuriously but taking a breath, he turns to Ray with a serious face.

Seeing how it went, the three remaining fellows also gathered near the man.

"I thank you for your help this time. I'm a Socruz leading a rank C party-style blade. Your archers are Uluipka, spears are Jure, and wizards are Courtesy."

To the words of Socruz, the referred party member bows his head.

It was no exaggeration to say that if I tried to be the blades of the wind, I had earned my whole life for exactly nine deaths. Because I understood first and foremost that without the presence of Ray, we would have stuck ourselves in the stomach of a rare species. If Hasta had added to it, it would have simply added a little more rare species lunch.

"As I said earlier, never mind. That being said, of course, you don't mind if we take this rare species more than I did?

"Huh? Oh, of course I do. You don't want any thanks for the money or anything?

Socruz asks unintentionally as if he was poked at the intent.

Ray shakes his head small, even as he grins internally that it would be even more demanding if he asks that again.

"I don't mind. I don't have that much trouble with money."

To Ray's words, Hasta, who is in trouble for money, turns a slightly envious gaze, but quickly turns away from his face when he realizes he is turning such a gaze.

"But you can't just say you saved your life without doing anything.... I'd like to give away about one of our gamerions..."

Shoulder to shoulder as Sokurus smiles bitterly.

Somehow they were being chased by rare species. I can't afford to bring in the luggage truck of Gamelion with the wind blade on it, and by now it will be some other monster's lunch, blurry with sighs.

"Look, Socruz. Think of it as just having a life. Regardless of the gamelion I've put in place, I hope the luggage car is probably safe...... 'Cause that luggage truck, it's borrowed, right? If it's broken, you have to pay for it..."

He was a spear man Jule who spoke out to comfort Sokurus, but he gradually sinks into a tone, considering what happened soon after he returned to the city of Gilm.

That's the same with Uluipka and Courtesy, where Ray opens his mouth again before the atmosphere darkens.

"Uh, right. If you really want to thank me, you can buy me dinner the next time you see me in the city of Gilm."

"... is that okay?

"Oh. Or you should refrain from extra expenses given the possibility of paying for your luggage"

"Well, I sure am,"

That being said, a line of wind blades didn't know how much Ray or Seto would eat, so they accepted the suggestion lightly.

"And I've heard rumors about you in the guild... but it's amazing again. So it's incredible what rank D really is."

"No, I guess I thought that magic was more amazing than that. I can't do the magic of fire that knocks out so much power with a single blow."

I honestly raise my praise for Ray's unleashed magic that Courtesy seemed younger than herself when she was listening to Socruz.

"That's not why I said it's not if you're relaxing! Anyway, luggage truck! I hope you're okay.... Look, I'm coming!

While screaming, Jules put a spear on her left hand. And with his right hand, he pulls Sorcruth's ear and makes a quick trip to those of us who have fled.

Naturally, Sokurus, who didn't want his ears cut a thousand times, would be forced to follow Jure.

"Ouch, hey, come on, Jule! It hurts. Ears, ears! A thousand cuts!"

"Shut up! Now if Gamelion's carcass had been eaten by other monsters and even his luggage was broken, this job would be in complete deficit, deficit! But even though it's going to be difficult to accomplish the request in the winter, we can't get past the winter if we put out a deficit here! That's why I'm sorry I asked you to crusade in the snow like last year. Whatever it takes to build up enough storage to go over the winter to keep it warm and over the winter!

"Okay. Because I get it! Don't expose our shame in front of the guys you met!

"Wait, wait. Don't go on this meadow without my magic!

Courtesy follows after those two, with only one left Uluipka bowing his head small at the end.

"I'm sorry, but there's no reason to leave those two alone, so we'll excuse ourselves around here.... Thank you so much for your help this time. … you must eat as much as you like during Socruz's luxury."

That's all I say with a nickely grin and go after the three of them.

(... Sounds like a guy named Sokurus or whatever he says about Uluipka right now knew how much I and Seto ate. We don't teach that to our own leaders, so we say it's oddly belly black or what)

He grinned inside and spoke to Hasta, who was dropping off the rear of the wind blade he had left.

"Well. You could have defeated an unexpected big man with rare species, and you could have gone back to the city of Gilm?

"Ah, yes. That's right. Given the size of that rare species, we're going to be able to take a lot more meat than normal gamelions."

Even with hasta, encountering rare species was honestly nothing but the worst, but thanks to Ray, we were able to defeat the rare species that boasted of the giant. If you look only at the results, you could say you were lucky.

(Speak to Mr. Ray in guild, it's really good...)

Next to Hasta, who is praising herself for her past, Ray stores her slashed tail and neck inside the mistering.

And all that remained was the giant body that was still bleeding out of its neck.

"Uh... what do we do? Are we gonna drain blood here? Or do we drain blood when we get back to the city of Gilm?

To such a question, Hasta opens her mouth even as she seems distressed.

"Given the safety aspect, I'd better just collect it in Mr. Ray's item box and then drain blood in the city...... I'm finally going to put in that the place to dismantle the monster near the dining room is this big of a deal, so draining blood can be a lot of hassle. So, I'm sorry, can I ask you to drain the blood here?

(Well, I hope I can possibly get a demon stone that Ceto or Death Size hasn't absorbed yet)

While I think so in my heart, I ask with a serious look toward Hasta.

"I don't mind if Hasta says so... but there's a chance other monsters might come over because of the smell of blood? Naturally, I guess you're ready for that, huh?

"Yes, if a rank C monster like Gamelion comes out, I can't do it alone, but if it's a goblin or something, it's perfectly fine."

The words of Hasta ended up forcing the torso of a rare species up and down with Ceto on this occasion and waiting until the blood drain was complete.

"Nevertheless... I had no idea you were going to encounter this rare species when you got out of the city"

Could it have been a flag, Ray whining so heartily.

"Right. But if you show this rare species to your father, you might lose your back."

"Whoa, I guess your purpose is to provide cheap meat to my parents' dining room. So when the key cafeteria is off, it's your purpose, too, and you're gonna be late to pay off your debts."

"Uh, sure. But even if my father takes a day or two off, he feels like he's going to do something about it..."

While we exchange words like that joke stained, we nevertheless remain more alert than it is the bouncing land of monsters that currently have the Rays, and continue to talk to each other like we don't care.

Of course, this is something we can do because we trust each other to some extent. Otherwise, one would have put it out in his mouth to be properly vigilant around him.

Hasta sees Ray take down a rare species with that eye, and Ray knows it's been a year since Hasta became Rank D and he's quite a veteran. And above all, for the two of us, it was the element that most reassured us that Seto, the griffon, was alert to his surroundings while he slept on the ground near Ray.

"By the way, he said Gamellion's meat is delicious, but exactly what dish does it look good on?

"Hmm. There are a lot of cooking methods, but what I like is the guy who simply shook salt and baked it. The skin was cooked crispy and the meat was a little stiff but with a firm bite. When it spreads plenty of gravy in your mouth..."

Ray's throat unwittingly swallows gokuri and spit at Hasta, who looks delicious and explains the taste of Gamellion.

"It's just that the most popular thing in our dining room is Gamelion's stew. It's probably because it's a time of plenty of nourishment, but when the fat from the meat blends into the soup and eats with the vegetables... there are people who change their glasses."

"They both look delicious"

"Haha. Anyway, in addition to the fact that the meat itself tastes better than average as a Rank C monster, I guess it's just for a limited time this time of year. Oh, yeah. When I get back to the city of Gilm, I'll ask my father to serve me the gamelion dishes I took this time. Considering the amount Ray eats, it doesn't translate to me that I just like it... but I think I can serve as much as the stew I've just described."

"... okay? In the first place, I came to defeat Gamelion to pay off the debt in your cafeteria."

Hasta nods with a full grin on her mouth at the worrying words that rarely came out of Ray's mouth.

"Yes. Somehow Mr. Ray defeated the rare seeds, so even if my father were to serve Gamellion's dishes, he might have excess meat. It was originally planned to be about one gamelion."

"Right. If that's what you say, let me sweeten that word.... Oh, right. Then you might want to say that I use gamelions for the dishes I said."

"That's... definitely please!

It was Hasta who listened to the cooking and bowed his head aloud.

Eventually, after this, a few goblins and poison toads attacked me, attracted by the smell of Gamelion's blood, but the hasta just cleaned up.
