A voice echoed somewhere in the office when I was being described as a magic item that could also be a powerful weapon for those who could use it, a dagger of running water - but only a water source that would never wither for a ray unsuitable for water.
Ray, who turned his gaze towards you, saw a man in his 50s or so. I'm old enough to say, but still having a tight body is probably not lacking in daily workouts.
(Who?
Ray gently tried to reach for the Mithrill Knife inside the Dragon Robe whining inside, but soon stops remembering that this is the Guildmaster's office.
I wonder who the person in front of me is, there's no substitute for being someone I know in Seyce.
And that the decision was correct proves at the next moment.
"Dear logo, that was too late"
"Don't be stupid. I have to give you more instructions than I can get for Aulani grass powder. Do something about it and come..."
Deer logo whining and sighing loudly that far.
That won't be impossible either. Because if we finally have an eye on doing something about the endemic demonic fever in the city of Barr and come all the way to the guild to talk about what's to come, our best friend for years is somehow destroying the cup we put on the floor with a magic item.
"I'm not doing this for nothing. I was thinking of doing him a little favor. I was just presenting this running water dagger as a reward to show off my performance."
"He?"
Deer logo that listens that far and turns his gaze as if he finally realizes Ray's presence.
Take that gaze, bow your head down small, and then Ray asks Seyce with his gaze who is in front of him.
"This guy is Dear Logo, who is also acting Lord of this city. We used to have a party with the guild master marina in the city of Non and Guild. Deer logo, this boy is Ray. An adventurer who delivered Aurani grass powder from the city of Gilm."
"Whoa! The boy delivered the powder from the Aurani grass! Helpful. No, it really helped. This will save many of the inhabitants who are falling from the demonic fever. I know it's just impossible for all of us, but there's still a lot more people who don't have to die than we originally estimated. No, you've come really well."
Dear logo to say thank you while bashing and ramblingly slapping Ray on the shoulder.
Ray bows his head small when he finds out that the person in front of him is the lord's deputy ruling this city on such a deer logo.
"This is Ray, the rank D adventurer in the city of Gilm. I hope I can eradicate the demonic fever that's spreading in this city with my relief supplies."
"Oh, of course. The adventurers in this city are somewhat inferior to those in the city of Gilm like boys, but alchemists and pharmacists may say they are antagonistic."
I nod proudly, but this was true in a way.
In any case, the adventurers of the city of Gilm have been fighting monsters on the periphery from day to day, and nature and its arms are polished. In other words, adventurers without more than a certain strength die fighting monsters, so they cannot live as adventurers in the city of Gilm. Only those few exceptions would be rank H adventurers who specialize in requests all over the city and have absolutely nothing to do with combat, or those who have been blessed with the good fortune of acting together with an armed adventurer.
By comparison, alchemists and pharmacists are basically not that extreme a difference in any city. Compared to those in the city of Gilm, there will be some differences in arms based on the ease of obtaining materials, but that is not as good as the adventurer's level.... with exceptions like the magic city of Ozos.
"So that's it. I'm asking him to find out what caused the epidemic of Devil's Fever in this city."
"... but this boy wouldn't be familiar with this city in the first place, would he? Oh, no, of course it's the person that that woman sends out with confidence. I'm not making fun of the kid."
You thought your words were taking Ray lightly, and you follow him that way as the Deer logo waves his head in a hurry.
To such a Lords surrogate, Ray shakes his head small and opens his tease by showing his attitude that he doesn't care.
"It's true that I'm not familiar with this city, and it's also true that I'm still a Rank D Adventurer."
"But you'd have the fastest record of running up to Rank D since you signed up for an Alliance in that neighborhood city of guilds, wouldn't you?
I nod bitterly to Seyce, who tells me that with some pranky grin.
"That's right..."
"Besides. You may not know because the Deer logo doesn't have the power to feel the magic, but this child has a little incredibly powerful and immense magic in him. There's nothing safer than whether or not the amount of magic fever can cause it.... If this child were to be infected with Devil's Fever, you can assume that there is no one in this city to resist it."
"... so much?
Deer logo looks to Ray with a stunned look on Seyce's words.
Of course, the Deer logo is one of the original adventurers of the war. I have eyes that discern the other person's power, and from what I've seen with those eyes, I could instinctively guess that the boy in front of me has the strength that I have to ask.
But still, the Deer logo was from a bandit and had no ability to sense magic at all, so the enormous magic Ray had was somewhat uncomfortable without feeling it. Yes, just like Ray himself feels uncomfortable when he sees a powerful magic item.
"Finally, the letter from the marina said you could ask Ray if anything happened."
"... you marinas. How long are you going to be our guardian?"
Deer logos and seis, already in their 50s, but Marina, naturally a dark elf, lives longer than these two. Thus, the Marina had a protective role, including a few party members who were not here when they were still adventurers.... the leader was, for some reason, the Deer logo, a bandit.
"Anyway. You have no objection to Ray investigating the cause of the Devil's Fever? And like you said, he's not familiar with this city. Ask for personnel to assist you with that."
"Hmm, right.... kid. No, Ray."
"Yes."
"When I came into the city, I think there were soldiers blocking the gates, but there was a man named Sasanas among them. Do you know anything about him?
Asked by the Deer logo, Ray's brain passes the figure of the person he spoke to when entering the city of Barr.
"Yes, I was in a position to lead the soldiers, so I had a light conversation."
"Okay. Then I'll put Sasanas as an assistant to you. I'm just so busy today with all the supplies the kid brought... tomorrow. Let them pick you up tomorrow morning. No, wait. You mean you came here as soon as you came to this city, and you haven't even decided on an inn yet?
"Right. I can't get out of the city of Barr for a week because of how it looks like I'm going to develop demonic fever, so I'm going to look somewhere appropriate for an inn. I think I saw Mr. Deer Logo when he came into the guild, too, because somehow I have Griffon's partner. … I would like you to introduce me if there is a lodging somewhere where the submissive is ok"
"Oh, that griffon. That was a fine griffon. When I saw that Griffon before I joined the Alliance, I remembered my adventurous nightmare."
Deer logo squeaking with some distant eye.
"Well, that much of a griffon?
"Oh. You saw more than that griffon we were desperate to escape."
"It's also..."
Behind Seyce's brain was past the figure of Griffon, who he stumbled upon in the depths of the border when he was young.
It was only at a time when we were proud to be first-rate adventurers that the marina was kicked in the opposite direction without even asking to stop. And escaped with these bodies, bitter memories that can be described as a runoff of youth.
"Above that griffon? … which, then, would you like me to show you the Griffon and the Griffon of the Inn? Do you mind?
"Yeah, no problem. Griffon... it's the name Seto, because if you don't give me the odd little one, I'm nostalgic."
"... nostalgic?
To a word that doesn't seem like a Rank A monster, the two Seyce and Deer logos turn a sharp gaze to Ray.
That gaze did not have to be put into words, but there was a colour dwelling that doubted whether it was sane or not.
Ray snorts with a bitter smile that this would be a normal response, even as he realizes such a gaze.
I am easily reminded of how affected I am by the city of Guild.
(Well, it's a periphery, but maybe it's the late)
On the periphery where a bunch of monsters may strike us at any time, we greedily take in whatever it is that makes us a little more powerful, without antagonizing ourselves. That kind of temper drifts all over the city. And if not so strong, the city of Gilm would have been abandoned by now by the raid of monsters.
"And anyway. Anyway, let's get you to an inn where you can quickly bring your obedient demons. The inn was also accepted by the sick due to this epidemic, but some rooms were still vacant."
"Do that for me. I have to keep going back to the hall and give instructions for the future. As we talked earlier about finding out what caused the fever, I'm going to give Sasanas to Inn tomorrow morning, so listen to the details."
"Yes, when it comes to demonic fever, it can also be endemic in the city of Gilm if the cause is not known. Given that, I would definitely like to find the cause and deal with it somehow."
Nodding to Ray's words, the Deer logo hurried out of the office to instruct the departments how to distribute orders and medicines quickly in the hall, and Ray and Seyce slowly left the office to follow.
"Well, that's great."
That was the word from Seyce's mouth when she saw the requisition board on the first floor of the guild.
At the end of the line of sight are a number of relief supplies that have almost disappeared. And the huge pot containing the udon Ray brought is washed properly and placed in front of the request board.
"Ah, Guildmaster. And Mr. Ray. The food was delicious."
The receptionist, who found the two of them, lowers his head with a grin.
"I'm glad for you. Above all.... although there are a lot fewer people than that?
Even when he came into the guild, he didn't look much like an official, but now he only has a few left.
I questioned that, Ray, but the receptionist nodded small.
"Yeah, I'm just handing out a quick pill. I've never had more people than a little."
"... I see"
(It is true that the sick people are not gathered in one place, so we need to distribute the medicine individually. Anyway, if the symptoms are still mild, the less magical ones won't be able to get up.)
As Ray snorted inside, the receptionist's gaze turned to Seyce.
"So what happened to the Alliance Masters?
"What, Ray stayed in the city of Barr for a while to find out what caused the epidemic of Devil's Fever in the land. That's why I thought I'd show you the inn."
"Is the Alliance Master on purpose!? Well, if you don't mind, I'll show you."
"No, there's no doubt that the Alliance is understaffed everywhere today. As you can see, she's the only receptionist in the guild. [M] Then it would be nice to be guided by a guild master, but not so busy yet."
"... ok. That's right, I do have to work hard here until the other kids get back."
Receptionist holding both hands to cheer herself up.
There were naturally other receptionists in this city's guild, but most of them were currently falling into Devil's Fever or unable to appear in the guild for their nursing.
"What, if there was a medicine made of powder of Aurani grass he brought, we would all be back in not so far away. Trust me on that. Good luck now."
"Yes! Welcome aboard"
With the receptionist's voice on his back, Ray and Seyce left the guild.
"Well, that's... as the Deer logo said, don't get a bigger impression than the Griffon you've seen before."
Out of the guild, Seyce squeaks when she sees Seto.
"Gru?"
And you felt such a grunt or a sign of Ray, Seto falls asleep and opens his meditating eyes, squealing small and approaching.
Seyce retreats only for a moment, but still manages to stay on the spot.
Watching as he does that, Ray strokes its back as he strokes the head he's been rubbing on as usual.
"Oh my... I didn't know I missed you so much. Ray, if it's all right with you, why don't you give me a stroke?
"Yes, I was wondering if it would be particularly problematic if you just stroke it normally"
"... good"
Take a small, deep breath and gently reach for Seto's back, Seis.
For a moment he turned his gaze to Seyce, but decided there was no harm. Seto enjoyed Ray's hand as he stroked.
"Oh, oh... is this Griffon, also known as the King of Beasts and Birds"
Squirting Seyce as touched by the smooth touch.
After this, after about five minutes, he finally returned to me and led Ray and Seto to the inn.
