Legend

"I could see it! It's the city of Barr!

On Seto's back, Ray screams unexpectedly in front of the earthly city he sees at the end of his gaze.

In the end, there was nothing like the bandits attacking me again last night, and I was able to wrap myself in Seto's fur and rest slowly.

Then he woke up early in the morning and was still getting brighter because the sun was starting to rise even though his surroundings were still somewhat dim, so Ray and Seto flew off in a hurry after a light breakfast, passing over the village, the last relay point against the city of Bahr not so long after the morning sun had risen, and finally reached the desired city of Bahr within the early hours of the morning.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seto, who was in a good mood because Ray was happy, but ahead of that sight. What do you do when you see dozens of soldier-like figures at the main entrance and thought location of the city of Barr, your destination? Ringing all the time.

It was Ray who noticed that the city was sealed off by that chirping, but decides it has to be delivered more than he brought the powder of Aurani grass.

"Seto, I need you to get down a little far from the person blocking the main entrance. If you get off right in front of them, it's going to be a fight."

"Grrrrrr!"

It rings small to Ray's words, wings flapping and dropping altitude to the ground.

The soldiers must have noticed Seto as well. Be vigilant as each puts up spears and swords, even though they are deliberate.

Ray screams out loud as he glances at a high-ranking monster like Griffon but still makes a small grin at how he won't lose his morale while jumping from a position a few meters above ground.

"I'm Ray! An adventurer in the city of Gilm! I brought you powder of Aulani grass to be the ingredient for the medicine for the demonic fever that is endemic in this city! Put me in touch with the city's guild as soon as possible!

Ray's voice echoing around.

However, although the soldiers who heard the words gave a happy expression for a moment, Ray's appearance appeared to be poor at about 15 years of age. And for what you're saying you brought Aulani grass powder, you realize it's bare hands, and your buddies exchange confused glances with each other.

Eventually one man from among the soldiers enters and approaches Ray.

The man, in his 20s or so young but releasing a strange calm, stops about 5m from Ray and opens his mouth.

"I'm Sasanas. They let me do something like a bundler of soldiers over there. So I wanted to ask you, Aulani, where did you say you brought the grass powder? From what I've seen, it looks pale. No, of course, that would be helpful if it were at all. But doesn't the fact that you came all the way here from the city of Gilm mean you're bringing the right amount?

To that word of Sarzanas, when he nods small, he removes the crate from the mystering.

Suddenly emerged from a space of nothing, in that crate, Sarzanas reaches out reflexively to the sword of his hips. But as soon as we know that the crate is not harmful to us, we turn our gaze to the crate again.

A large number of vials about 5 cm high were contained in the crate.

And there's something powdery in that vial...

"Huh!?

The moment he sees it that far, Sasanas understands what the object in front of him is.

"Ko, could this be..."

"That's right. It's a powder of Aurani grass used as a medicine for exorcism."

Not only does Sasanas bother with Ray's words, but so do the other soldiers who were listening to it.

The reason for this would be, of course, with regard to the powder of Aurani grass present in large quantities, but above all, the presence of an item box.

"Item box...... I see. Sure looks real as far as this goes."

"... real?

Ray overhears words leaking out of Sasanas' mouth and asks back unexpectedly.

In contrast to Ray like that, Sasanas comes with his head down small.

"I'm sorry. Let me give it a try. Actually, I heard more adventurers were coming from guilds in the city of guilds than from the master of guilds in our city that you... However, as we know, the city of Barr is currently experiencing an explosion of demonic fever that could not have been prevalent. A few researchers interested in hearing where it came from came from came into the city. Naturally, Dear Logo refused to allow such people to enter the city..."

"Why? Researchers might be able to identify the causes of the epidemic."

"Well, I guess I really don't mind if that's what it's all about."

You must have heard the word and realized there was something complicated going on. Change the story without mentioning anything else in particular.

"So, can I go inside?

"Ah, oh.... That Griffon doesn't attack people, does it?

Turning his gaze behind Ray to Seto, who remains silent and asks terribly, Sasanas.

"Gru?"

What? and a neck tilting ceto, but I just met him. Do I remember a threat to the existence of Griffon, I unwittingly take a step back.

To such a Southern, Ray strokes Seto's neck as he remembers the initial event of his first entry into the city of Gilm.

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you don't give me a lousy little one, I'm gonna love you like this."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto rings his throat in a good mood for the feeling of being stroked.

He gives me the necklace of an obedient demon similar to the one used in the city of Gilm, looking at the unbelievable.

While receiving it, Ray also handed the guild card again to complete the process of entering the city.

"Open the gate!

The soldiers open the gates according to the words of Sasanas, and the city of Bar, which was sealed off, is opened.

(... I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble if I let you in from the sky. Well, in that case, will I treat you like an intruder)

"Then captain. I'm going to the guild one foot ahead."

"Oh. Master Seyce would love to know about this, too.... asked."

A soldier nods small at the words of Sasanas and goes into the city ahead of Ray.

"The guild can see it if you go straight down this boulevard.... There are fewer people in the city as a result of the Devil's Fever, so hurry as much as you can to your guild.... Last but not least, I appreciate you coming to this city"

Says so, deeply bowing his head, Sasanas. Their men bowed their heads as deeply as their own bosses.

Many family, friends, or lovers have fallen into Devil's Fever. Tears are spilling from several of the soldiers who are bowing their heads.

It was obvious to whoever saw it was not sadness, but a tear of hope from which helpful hope had emerged.

"All I can do is procure medication ingredients. From now on, we can only leave it to the pharmacists and alchemists of this city"

"Still. I can't do drugs in the first place without medication ingredients.... Helpful."

Once again the gates of the city of Bahr will be closed, as Sasanas says his thanks.

When this city, which is sealed off, opens up, is it when there are no more Devil's Fever patients... or when all the Devil's Fever patients die? Sasanas prayed that the reason was the former, while watching the gate be closed completely to the end.

"... you do see a small number of people"

Looking out over the streets of Barr from the boulevard, Ray whines.

Fortunately, people are not disappearing like Ghost Town, but they are still very small compared to the city of Gilm.

Sometimes the reason for this is that demonic fever is endemic, but the city's inhabitants themselves are less than the city of Gilm in the first place.

Even though the city of Gilm is a frontier, the tradesmen, adventurers, or blacksmiths gather naturally because there are monster materials that can be taken from it. Compared to that, this is only a city in the countryside, so it's impossible to make a difference in the number of people.

Those few inhabitants are uniformly surprised to see Ray and Seto, who do not recognize them in this city, and at the next moment they carefully bow their heads.

What is it?

The whole city was informed that adventurers were on their way from the city of Gilm on a griffon to deliver the ingredients of a medicine that would be a special effect of the exotic fever that was endemic in the city. This is also what the Deer logo did to avoid panic at all. For that reason, the residents of the city were strangers to themselves... and the joy of seeing Griffon as Ray was more helpful than surprised.

I would have liked to say a direct thank you to Ray, but again, I could only bow my head from afar because it was banned by the Deer logo to make the medicine a little faster.

Ray, who has no idea of such circumstances, eventually sees a huge building as he goes down the boulevard on the street taught by Southern while wondering how the inhabitants are doing. I nod small when I see a sign that says Adventurer Guild.

"Seto"

"Gru."

I guess that's all Ray figured out what he wanted to say. Seto moves to a space for his obedient demons and falls asleep, just as Ray did when he was going to the guild in the city of Guild.

In the city of Gilm, when Seto falls asleep, adults who like cute things, starting with children, stop by, but that's not the case in the city of Barr.

There is also the lack of visibility of Seto himself, but the biggest problem than that was still demonic fever. Somehow there are only children with little magic, and most of the children who live in the city are infected with Devil's Fever.

I gently stroke Seto's head like that and keep the guild door open and go inside.

"... I see"

That's how the first thing I whined about was the words.

Originally, the Alliance staff is busy working, and despite the hours some adventurers are eating at the tavern, there are hardly any people in the Alliance.

Hardly one receptionist is slightly older than Kenny at the counter, to the extent that there are a few guild employees behind it. Not a single adventurer has ever looked like him.

Most of the time, if the city is closed and most of the food is close to the distribution system, you can't even drink alcohol in a liquor store.

Still, the receptionist smiled and bowed his head toward Ray, who came into the guild, which I should say is just the guild official.

"It's Ray. I brought Aulani grass powder and various other relief supplies from the city of Gilm"

Vikri. The receptionist stops moving the moment he hears that word of Ray. At the same time, the same was true of other guild officials who were inside the counter.

"Hey, can you show me your guild card just in case?

"Oh."

He nods at the receptionist who says so in a trembling voice and takes the guild card out of the mistering.

'Whoa!'

Alliance officials cheering that the item box was used in front of them and that what they were hearing was true.

Watching how it goes, Ray hands the guild card to the receptionist that if you think about the Devil's Fever, you can't even do it.

"Yes, I am indeed Ray, a rank D adventurer affiliated with the guild in the city of Guild. Confirmed"

The guild card, which is returned with a trembling hand, is again stored in the mistering, Ray opening his mouth again.

"So where am I supposed to keep it when it comes to the relief supplies I brought? It's quite a lot, so I think it would be nice to have somewhere big."

"Hey, wait a minute, please. Because I'm calling the Alliance Master right now!

When the receptionist yells that way, the counter staff rushes to the back, but Ray calls that back off.

"Wait. I want you to give this to the Alliance Master. A letter from the Guildmaster of the City of Guild to the Guildmaster of the City of Barr."

Ray handing out a letter he took out of Mystering.

The guild official who received it lowers his head small and runs to the back of the counter.

(If it's the same structure as the guild in the city of Guild, I guess there's the Guildmaster's office over there)

Think that way while dropping that back off on the inside, and turn your gaze to the receptionist for all your chances of getting some information about the city of Bahr.

That's exactly what I should call a receptionist, whose appearance is above average. Unlike the city of Gilm, there was only one receptionist.

Is this because of demonic fever, or because it's a city in the middle of the border, like the city of Gilm? I didn't know the difference for Ray, but there was still no mistake that Ray had someone to gather information on.

"Devil's fever, did you say that? I hear about 40% of the residents are infected with what I heard in the city of Gilm, but how much is it spreading now?

I guess I knew that question was coming. Shake your head small and open your body mouth.

"The number of people who are developing is up to 60% of those in this city of Barr."

"... so much?

"Yes, unfortunately. If you delivered Aurani grass powder to this city, you know, because demonic fever develops without more than a certain amount of magic..."

She was a sighing receptionist, but there was someone there to pinch the words.

I mean, this time, the Devil's Fever was pretty high on a certain line.

It was an old man in his 50s who emerged from the back of the counter with that word. It's easy for Ray to predict who the man is more than showing up at this time. And that prediction was correct was proven by the receptionist's words.

"Alliance Master......"
