The edge of the kingdom of Mireana. That city, somewhat closer to the border than in the centre, was now surely on its way to annihilation.

Nearly 30% of the city's inhabitants fall asleep due to fever. The rest of the residents are desperately nursing, but the disease is definitely spreading, although only resting.

Yes, the disease that is currently endemic in this city was not supposed to develop in this area. A disease that is inherently hot all year and only develops in areas like wet air. For some reason, there are now many people who have developed in this city.

There were quite a few people with knowledge of the disease, but it was only about 10 hours ago that the name of the disease became apparent from the assumption that it could not have developed in the area. And trying to ask a pharmacist or alchemist for a medication that could be considered a special effect of the disease... it turns out that there is not enough material to make the medication.

Pharmacists and alchemists are to blame if they are meant to be. But no one thought the disease, commonly known as' demonic fever ', would break out in this city, and they could not blame it.

"... So what's the missing ingredient?

Ask the old man whose lord's deputy, the Deer logo, is bitterly in front of him ruling the city of Barr.

The person's name is Seyce. He is the guild master of the Adventurer Guild in the city of Barr and, at the same time, a good friend and partner of the Deer logo, who has a high strength as a wizard.

"A powder that dries grass that grows only in areas of intense magic, called Aulani grass. That's the key ingredient for making medicine to curb the disease."

"... Aulani grass. Grass grown only in areas of intense magic, huh? Which neighborhood exactly would that be?

"Right. Closest to here is probably the city of Gilm with the Devil's Forest nearby"

"The city of Gilm? … surely the Alliance has the means to keep in touch with each other?

"Hmmm. I thought so too... is that good? The lord of this city is an aristocratic figure. You may blame the Lord for asking for help on your own to a guild in the city ruled by Uncle Larks Border, who is also the center of the Neutralists, right?

The moment the Alliance Master squeals so, the Deer logo taps his fist to the table with force.

"Have you ever known how to interact with each other?" Now we can save those who are suffering from disease in reality, yet we kill them without saving them, and what is the Lord's surrogate! I'll take all the blame!

"... ok. Contact the Guild Master in the City of Guild immediately. But..."

Guildmaster who puts it that far in his mouth and stops the words.

The Deer logo also knew what my best friend in front of me wanted to say. The city of Gilm, which is also the periphery of the Kingdom of Mireana from this city of Bahr. The distance is far from hopeless. The merchant squad moved smoothly for half a month. A travel-familiar adventurer ran with the momentum to crush his horse for 10 days.

It's possible as soon as you use the magic items in your guild to let you know what's going on in this city, but then think about how long it will take you to collect powder from Aurani grass to travel to this city...

"Survival is good, I said 40%."

Potsuri, and the Deer logo groaned bitterly. That look was filled with indifference.

"I don't have a choice. Now it's a matter of contending for a moment. Let's get in touch with the city of Gilm.... I didn't know you were going to owe her something like this."

"Well, I'll take your place as soon as I can."

Says the Deer logo with a grin as it blows away the depressing air.

"Right, how can we not do something about this anyway? Now if you'll excuse me."

"Oh. I manage to seal off the city using the authority of the Lords surrogate to avoid spreading the disease any further. You can't spread this disease all the way to other cities. When it comes to food, we'll figure it out in a minute of stockpiling."

Seyce nods small at the words and leaves the office with a light-hearted appearance that is very unlikely to be a wizard in her 50s.

Dropping off such a good friend's back, the Deer logo hit the clerk again with that fist.

"Well. I don't know what to do with this demon stone... right"

The wheat pavilion at dusk where Ray is staying. Turn your gaze toward the two demonic stones you took out of Mystering as you fell asleep on that bed.

Those two are demonic stones obtained the day before by demolishing Gamelion at Hasta's demolition hut. A demonic stone about 5 cm in diameter is usually a gamelion of a species, and a 10 cm diameter twice that is a rare species object.

For some reason, the Demon Stone is about twice the size of a typical and rare species. While I had my doubts about that, I was convinced it would be something like that... but Ray was worried about how to use that demonic stone.

The reason Ray uses Demon Stone naturally is to let Seto and Death Size master their skills with Warcraft. If this was a demon stone for two regular species of gamerions, you wouldn't have gotten lost because you would normally just have to use one for ceto and death size at a time. But one of the demonic stones now in front of Ray is a rare species.

"Normal goblin magic stones did not allow me to master my skills even when I was a goblin, but in the case of rare species, I was able to master firebraces. In other words, it is better to consider the demon stone of a rare species as a different monster. Then......... well, if you think about it without difficulty, is it a good idea to do the rare seed Demon Stone to Seto?

Ray was wondering what to do, even as he hit a gobble and a turnaround on the bed. But stop the pitch and its movement and wake up your torso and point your gaze towards the door.

That gaze is more sharp than it was when I wasn't sure what to do with the Demon Stone until a few seconds ago.

Yes, I heard someone rushing up the stairs.

(... who? I don't think it's a raid when it comes to making flashy footsteps. There aren't many people left in the inn after noon.)

Chirali and gaze out the window.

I don't know the temperature outside clearly to be in the inn, but I can still hear the wind shaking the windows to make me feel cold to see it. Fortunately, the wheat pavilion at dusk exists for heating magic items because it's a luxury inn, so as long as you're in the room, it's not that cold, but I can easily imagine that it's even colder outside.

This is not a strange time of year when the snow falls, but only in this time when we can still manage to say autumn are the adventurers entering what can be termed their last push to cross the winter. If we don't work and make money this time of year, we all work desperately to have to crusade monsters and do something in the snow.

In the meantime, Ray, accumulating enough money to play and live for nearly a few years, was thinking about what to do after seeing the demonic stones obtained from the dismantling of Gamelion and its rare species the day before...

"Well, I'm pretty sure you have business with me one way or another."

Whimpers with sighs, wears Slapenil shoes and wears a dragon robe.

In this room, the death size, which is likely to cause damage if swinging, is not taken out of the misting, and the hips are equipped with a misrill knife that is already completely familiar with the hands and ready. Get ready to intercept anybody who comes under attack...

Gun, gum, gum!

Open your mouth while slightly frowning at the sound that is slightly too strong to call it a knock.

"Who?

"It's me, it's Lenora!

"... Lenora?

When I whined and opened the door to the room like I clapped it out somewhere, it was certainly the receptionist of the familiar guild for Ray.

I guess I've been running too fast. The ponytail is shaking as it breathes its rough.

In the meantime, and Ray hands it to Lenora by pouring water into the glass from the water drain in the room.

"Oh, thank you, thank you"

"So, what's going on? Maybe you want to make a purchase of Gamelion material?

Ray asks because Lenora is weak enough to rush to her room, but she had nothing else to come up with.

But Lenora shakes her head in a panic when she sips off the glass of water in one breath.

"No. Guildmaster has asked Ray to appear."

"... guild master?

Even so, Ray himself went to the guild quite a bit, but never faced the guild master in the city of the guild. I guess the thought of the Alliance Master, who doesn't even know that face, saying why he's calling himself out appeared on his face. Lenora opens her mouth again as she puts the finished glass on the table that was in the room.

"It seems to be an emergency and we need to get Mr. Ray to the guild as soon as possible.... Are you sure you don't know?

"Oh. That's especially the big noise these days... maybe this is not how Gamelion's rare species talk about it, huh? Then I don't even know why they called me in, but I'm not."

Past the back of his brain was Gamelion with a giant over 8m. Suppose it made any sense that you killed that Gamelion.

"I don't know, just hurry up! Yeah, he said Seto was with him, not just Ray."

"... Seto too?

(Then it won't be about Gamelion. Even though it's a rare species in the first place, it's only worth the rank B monster. But then you won't know why you're calling me...)

There's nothing more scary than a call for no reason. While I think so, I can't ignore it if it's just a direct call from the Alliance Master, but I get up from the bed where I was sitting with a small sigh of sigh.

"Okay. So is Seto. I'll be ready soon."

"I'll be back as soon as I finish this contact with Mr. Ray, as he tells me to come back to the guild, but please hurry as much as you can!

I guess I'm in a hurry. Quickly enough, he left the room without hearing Ray's reply.

I drop him off behind that, and while I have a subtle unpleasant feeling about what's waiting for me in the guild, Ray also heads under Seto again.

"... what really happened?

"Gru?"

As Lenora told me, Ray came to the guild with Seto. But the guild was releasing an unusual atmosphere from the outside.

Specifically, there are massive movements of people into and out of the Alliance. Despite the time most adventurers would have asked for.

Next to Ray whining like that, Seto also tilts his neck as he rings in the back of his throat again.

"Well, fine. In the meantime, I'm going to the guild, so Seto's gonna have to wait outside as usual."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto nodding at Ray's words. With his abilities as a griffon and his hairy hair, he doesn't seem to care about this degree of cold at all. He rolls to his usual place without any particular complaints.

"The fact that I've been pushing for precautions to bring Seto probably means there's been some trouble. Perhaps it's your turn, so don't ask for it then."

With that said, he scratches Seto's head for a few seconds, strokes Seto as he rubs his head on, then heads to the guild.

And Ray, who went inside the guild, saw...

"How much powder did the Aulani grass collect!?

"I just bought it around the place of a tool shop, alchemist, or pharmacist in the city of Gilm!

"Wait. We have to be prepared for something to happen in this city. You should send them 70-80%."

"But in the other city..."

"I'm fine. Counting the number of inhabitants over there, it's about 70% of the stock in this city, which should be enough for the inhabitants of the city of Barr."

"In the meantime, we'll collect Aurani grass, so send me a few parties later."

"Okay. As a matter of urgency, I'd like to ask an available adventurer."

The guild staff, or the adventurers, were in a commotion in the guild as if they were possessed of something.

"... really, what happened?

Unexpectedly groaning at the way it is, Ray.

By far the most noisy of the guilds was when the Oak settlement was discovered, but the situation now is full of noise far beyond that.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. Over here, over here!

Lenora, who was busy working at the counter, finds Ray and shouts out.

A few adventurers and guild officials who heard the voice turn their gaze to Ray, but instead, they barely return to their work.

"Please come here. I'll take you to the Guildmaster's office right away."

Lenora pulls a ray inside the counter.

At such a counter, there was usually a Kenny figure who would definitely come out of his mouth when Ray and Lenora were talking, but Kenny still couldn't afford to be on Ray either, just waving small enough to get back to his job.

"... what happened?

He asks as he is put inside the counter and taken to the back, but Lenora shakes her head small on the question.

"Ask the Alliance Master about that. Just that something unusual happened."

While I give it back, I go up the stairs behind the counter. And what was ahead was one door.

(… are they separated from the meeting rooms they normally use? No, if it's Guildmaster's room, should I take that for granted too)

Ray watches as Lenora knocks on the door, whining inside.

"I'm Lenora, Alliance Master. I've brought Mr. Ray."

"Yeah, I've been waiting. Please come in."

Ray reacts unintentionally to the voice he hears from inside.

Anyway, the voice was a cooler woman's voice than you can imagine from the word guild master. Yes, like the sound of a bell.

"Excuse me."

Lenora opens the door and encourages Ray to enter while Ray is stirring up that discomfort within herself.

And it was the brown-skinned woman who welcomed Ray inside. To proof that it's not just a woman either, those ears are elongated and pointy compared to normal humans.

"Dark Elves"

That ray grunt sounded small to the Guildmaster's office where the noise on the ground floor was quiet as a lie.
