"Mr. Ray!?

I saw Ray come into the guild and Lenora screams unexpectedly and so on.

And those around them who heard the cry turned their gaze almost reflexively toward the entrance of the Alliance.

There he was, the person wearing the robe, as usual. At first glance it was a small, luxurious look, but its contents were a person with a personality that could not be described as such cute.

Without worrying about the gaze from the surroundings, Ray heads to the counter as usual, as I don't think he was away from the city of Gilm for ten days.

Lenora greets such a ray with a happy grin, and Kenny, who was next to her, gives a joyous look.

"Mr. Ray!

Fly over the counter using the physical abilities specific to the Cat Beast Clan and hold it straight to Ray.

"Were you okay? Are you hurt or something? Oh, you're sick, not injured. There's no physical abnormality, is there?

Kenny asks without having time to breathe as he touches Petapeta and Ray's body from above the dragon robe.

Slap Kenny's shoulder slightly higher than his own while smiling bitterly at him for not thinking that way.

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. Naturally, you can rest assured that it's been more than a week since you've had an exorcism."

"Good..."

That moment I exhaled in relief. Lenora's fist is dropped on the head where Kenny's cat ears are growing.

"Ouch! Hey, what are you doing all of a sudden!

"What are you doing? What are you thinking about jumping over the counter all of a sudden? That's not what the receptionist would do."

"I can't help it, Ray, because you're back safe. You can take your wings off a little bit, right?!

"If it's off duty or a break, I wouldn't mind either. But you're working as a receptionist now, aren't you?

"... ha"

Kenny turns to Lenora, who comes to his attention with a serious look, with a troublesome look on his face.

But the next moment, with a nibbling grin on his mouth, he openly turns his gaze to Lenora's chest.

I guess Lenora also felt ashamed when she was turned to the point where she was right to describe it as exactly the point where the hole was drilled. Cover your chest with both hands.

Like he said, the receptionist is the face of the guild. Naturally, the receptionist is required to dress appropriately. In Lenora's case, it was a one-piece outfit that felt feminine even in neat outfits.... but if Kenny tells me, I'm trying to hide it because I'm not sure about my body line.

Turn your gaze to Lenora's chest dressed like that... eventually to your own, which is more exuberant than Lenora's.

"Phew."

At the same time, he laughed with his nose like he was proud to win.

"Gu,... hey Kenny. Now, why did you laugh with your nose?

"Huh? I'm not laughing at anything? Yeah, yeah. I don't think someone desperate for their poor bodyline is pathetic."

"Hey, who's poor! I'm normal, normal!

Ray looks at such a usual exchange with a small grin.

Just for the usual exchanges, I thought I was stunned to be back where I was.

But I just don't have time to watch the exchange in front of me forever, putting my hands on my shoulders and opening my mouth.

"So I'd like to report back to the Guildmaster on what happened to the city of Barr, can you get in touch with me?"

"Hey, Kenny!... Huh? Oh, su, excuse me. Wait a minute, please. I'll be in touch with the Alliance Master soon!

Lenora tells Ray to say so as she panicked and deludes her interaction with Kenny.

Voices echo inside the guild as they take one step toward the back of the counter.

"Oh, if you think it's noisy. You're finally back."

The voice was never loud. But the wonder was in the ears of everyone on the spot.

A beautiful dark elf with silver hair and a rich body line on brown skin, wearing a flashy dress reminiscent of an evening dress, with a slutty atmosphere somewhere. Namely, it was Marina Ariansa, guild master of the city of Gilm.

"Alliance Master!? Shh, sorry. I thought I'd go and let you know Ray's back now."

"Yeah, I see you do. Before that, you two showed me some interesting features."

Lenora dyes her face red with shame knowing she was being asked to interact with Kenny, or was being seen.

I gently stroke my head and open my tease as I grinned at how Lenora looked like that.

"Maybe I'm not too busy as an guild already in the winter, but my job as a receptionist is solid....... Kenny. You, too."

"Ha, ha!

Even Kenny, who is proud of his colour, can't possibly win in front of the marina. Return to the counter without reckless imitations that would defy an unbeatable opponent in your area of expertise.

After seeing how it goes, Marina turns her cleavage eyes to Ray.

"Welcome home. It's quick, but I need to hear about the city of Barr, so could you come to my room?

Depending on what you ask, the marina invites you to the office with a lustrous trick that might even be tempting.

The adventurers who were in the guild in such a way fell in love, Lenora turned her face bright red and Kenny swelled her cheeks somewhere dissatisfied.

"Oh. I have a lot to report even over here, so it would help if you did"

Ray snorted at the marina again, and then followed her to the office.

"Please, sit down. I'll make you some tea now."

Arriving in the office or no, marina starts preparing her own tea when she proceeds to sit on the couch.

While I don't think it would be the Guildmaster's job to do, I still sit on the couch without saying anything when I see Marina herself making tea for fun.

And after about five minutes, eventually there was a cup of tea and cookies in front of Ray that were standing in hot air.

Marina is also sitting across from Ray and mouthing for tea.

"... so I wanted to talk to you. I'll give this back before I do."

Lay the map taken out of the mistering onto the table.

It's a map I gave you even though you could have been guilty. Ray was grateful for all that important stuff and for not wandering all the way to the city of Barr because of the map.

"I did get it. Could it have helped?

"Oh, thanks to this map, I didn't have to get lost."

"Yes. Good for you. Now, about the other side of the story... actually, because I hear directly from Seyce about the general situation, it's going to take the form of a complement."

Chirali, and a marina that turns its gaze to the crystal placed on the desk. Following that gaze, Ray nods again as he was convinced.

"I see. A magic item that you can contact directly over there."

Ray himself probably had a magic item called a pair of orbs he got from Rich's Grimm.

(That being said, you haven't spoken to Grimm since the dungeon. Might not be a bad idea to try to get in touch with you later)

While thinking that way, Ray encourages Marina to continue the story.

"Oh, you got a good idea.... So, I just want to ask you something. What you saw was really the nucleus of the dungeon?

"I didn't see it in person in the dungeon, so I can't say for sure, but judging by the kind of magic and atmosphere I felt, maybe."

"I mean, isn't that what you can say for sure?

Ray snorts small at the marina's words.

To be precise, I can assure you that's true from Zeppyre's knowledge, but I'm not going to tell you about it at all. I said, I actually told him I saw it in the dungeon, and that would be a lot awkward if the truth came from Elaine or Arla. That's what I had to say and snort.

"... well, fine. You won't have to bother lying, and let's just say that there's no doubt in the nucleus of the dungeon about this."

Even then, Ray asks a lot of detailed stories and answers them.

That was more like a flow of checking the integrity of what Marina had heard from Seyce than a hearing.

And eventually, after about half an hour, I bring the spear that was decorated on the wall and hand it to Ray.

"Thank you. I will acknowledge this request as fulfilling.... Well, to be precise, I was accomplishing more there than I was getting an autograph from Seyce to complete the request. Yes, this. The promised reward."

Ray looking at the spear handed over.

It is dyed by a blade on the tip and a deep green that can all be called deep green, including the patterned part. It's actually the second time I've had a tsu spear, but it's still beautiful enough to fall in love with, that was the kind of spear I could call a work of art.

Watch the spear carefully for about a minute and eventually bow your head small toward the marina.

"Reward for the request, I did receive"

"It's okay. The spear was acquired by me during my active life. Sure, it looks like a piece of art at first sight with a beautiful spear, but in the end, the spear is a weapon. Originally, I had the same style of combat as a wizard and archer, so I hardly had a chance to use that spear in my adventurous days. So if anyone had the strength to entrust that spear, I'd like to entrust it someday."

"I see. But..."

Nod at the marina's words and take the death size out of the mysteries.

"As you know, the weapon I basically usually use will be this death size. I also use spears, but unlike normal warriors, I think I'll use them as throwing spears."

"Yeah, that's okay. The moment I saw you, I felt something like this. The adventurers of the city of Gilm, not complacency, are level. Some of them are rank A adventurers. Those people would definitely use it if they had that tsubaki spear, but the elf hunch...... no, the woman hunch. Anyway, I can entrust this spear to you when I see you. That's what I thought."

"If the woman hadn't worked on the elf, what would she have done with the reward for the request to carry relief supplies to the city of Barr?

"Probably made it something else. What is that..."

That's what I said, one wink looking at Ray like a prank.

"Hi-mi-tsu, but"

Ray holds both Death Size and Tsu spears to mistering with a bitter smile, albeit under a colorful wink.

"As far as I'm concerned, I got a better reward than I expected.... So, if you're done with your errands, can I go back now?

"Oh, you have such a good woman, and you don't even invite her to dinner?

"I'll leave that to someone else."

To Ray's words, the marina looks toward the door with a couscous and a grin.

"Some kids seem to be rubbing a lot of things, so why don't we just leave it around here?"

"... what?

I turn my gaze toward the door as if to follow that gaze, so that I don't make a sound softly and get up off the couch. Keep moving...... keep the door open quickly.

"...... ah"

The two receptionists, who were also familiar to Ray, remained in a position with their ears against the door, leaked a word and stopped moving.

"Oh, I thought it was just Kenny. You were with Lenora."

A marina that opens its mouth with a grin as it carries a cup of tea into its mouth.

There is a pranky grin in its mouth.

"By the way, what happens to the Alliance counters when they're both here?

"Yes, no. That... just a little to the others..."

"Ah, haha. hahaha."

Kenny is laughing and trying to delude Lenora, who returns the words. Looking at those two, Ray turns his gaze somewhere frightened to the marina.

"I hear you have a very good staff."

"Ugh. Right, my proud children. … but I want to be more proud of you, so why don't you stay and do your job today?"

"Huh!? Hey, no. Alliance Master! I was going to invite you to dinner today to celebrate your return, Ray."

"Oh, really? Well, that's fine... I'm sure the assessment will be interesting, right?

"Gu!"

(... this is exactly the guy who doesn't even make a sound in the literal sense)

It was Ray who thought it that way in his heart and watched the interaction between the three of them with a small grin.

"Ray, I can't have dinner with you today because of your mean guild master, but instead, we'll go to dinner together again next time."

"Oh? As a mean guild master, you have to live up to expectations. Only Kenny stays more today..."

"Excuse me -!

Quickly screaming just to see if it's something I'm gonna let you say to the end, Kenny leaves to pop out of the office.

"Ha.... sorry Guildmaster"

Lenora, who dropped off such a hindsight, bows her head in peck toward the marina.

"It's okay. You were wondering about Ray, weren't you?

"That's... yes. Somehow we headed to the plague-endemic city."

"Oh, is that all?

It was a marina that made sense and cared to look at Lenora, but as for herself, she really had no other emotions and felt like a sister who was purely worried about her brother, so the marina's predictions went off and she sighed unfortunately.
