Legend

"Whoa, you look cold today"

Ray goes outside the inn and squeals unexpectedly.

Next to it, Seto also rattles his throat and agrees with Ray.

Looking around, the ground is thin but snowy. But I should at least say salvation, now in winter instead of snow, warm sunlight had fallen, melting the remaining snow on the ground and turning it into water.

I've been back from the city of Barr for a few days. Finally, the noise about the matter has subsided, and it's been a long time since I went to the guild for a walk in Seto because it's enough for me to rest.

"I've been busy the last few days."

"Gru?"

Really? But Seto tilting his little neck like I said.

If I tried Ceto, he would have been happy because the person who would have taken care of me came like every day.

"Well, you were getting all kinds of food from Mileyne."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto throats happily at Ray's words.

Anyway, I'm Miraine, a Seto lover who I'll admit to myself. Naturally, when Ray found out he was headed with Seto to the plague-endemic city, he fell asleep for a few days in shock and worry. Then naturally, Ray and Seto came back... No, their love for Seto tends to run wild, and they've been coming to Seto every day for the past few days with souvenir food to the wheat pavilion at dusk.

He was so cute to Seto, he just scolded me for not taking Seto to a dangerous place against Ray. That dependence was so sympathetic to the others who stayed at the inn.

It was in the winter with regard to such Mileyne, and still with little snow, that Ray and Seto were willing to face the Alliance for the first time in a few days, inspired by that situation, when the last job and all the burning wind party members took them to the Alliance for a request.

"Ah, Seto. How you doin '? You said you were going somewhere dangerous, right? Here, still eat this. It's my luxury."

"Oh, Ray. Don't feel like I haven't seen your face in a long time. Look, what do you say? Our skewers are grilled. Freshly baked skewers in this cold place are excellent."

"What are you talking about? It's in this cold weather that the soup we sell is the best. Ray, there's good meat in there for Gamelion. What do you say?"

"Then it's up to our sandwich to match that soup."

"Hey, that's a good one, you."

In that way, we go down the road picking dishes lightly, not sandwiching, skewering, or stopping and drinking soup while Ray and Seto have their usual exchange as they walk down the boulevard.

One of the things that changed would have been that udon was on the menu at the stall where the soup was sold. During the week or so Ray was going to the city of Barr, it seems that Dishot was teaching a recipe to someone he knew.

(I would have been able to monopolize profits for a while had I sold them only at the full pavilion. Well, if it means spreading the method, then I'm sure this is the best)

No matter how much we monopolize our profits alone, it will still be difficult to spread if we end up selling udon in only one restaurant. But if you spread the method of making udon to someone you know, and even if that person spreads it to someone you know…, then the ingredients of nature and udon will spread. I don't know if Dishot of an artisanal character thought so well, but it was true that the ingredient called udon was spreading in the city of Gilm thanks to that choice.

(For this minute, it may be close to the development of baked noodles and pasta and soba noodles.... I'd like you to develop pasta around Dishot if you can. Just Hasta)

The figure of an adventurer of the same rank who went hunting for Gamelion together passes the back of his brain.

Even though I think about it that way, I would buy more sandwiches, hot dog-style breads, or skewers, juices, fruits, etc. from the dewstore and eat them with Seto, or store them inside the mysteries.

Eventually, when he sees the guild, Seto goes straight to the space for the submissive, even if he doesn't say anything, and falls asleep with the gorilla.

Ray enters the guild watching the children who find such a ceto or several adventurers who were near the guild flock to the ceto.

"... just don't see many people, do you?"

Midway between morning and noon in the first place. Almost no adventurer appeared near the request board because it was approximately 10: 00 a.m.

Since it is already time to say season and winter, many adventurers have decided to close until spring.

And speaking of what those people should do when they're closed...

Ray turns his gaze toward the tavern, which is co-located in Chirali and Guild.

There, adventurers existed as if they had changed after hitting the front of the request board. There aren't as many people as there are in the nightclub, but still the largest number of people I've seen when Ray came to the city of Guild and went to the guild.

"Phew."

When I somehow sighed at that and tried to head to the request board.

"Oh, isn't that Ray? Long time no see."

I can hear that from the side.

Turning to you, there were three people there.

A warrior man carrying a giant Battleax, to a flesh forged to the extreme.

A woman wizard wearing a robe and holding a cane in her hand.

Ray and I wouldn't seem that old, but still a man of forged flesh swordsman.

Ray naturally knew who those three were. He was also three of the top fighting rank A parties in this city of Guild, the Axe of Thunder God.

"Elk, Minn, Rodos. It's certainly been a long time. I haven't seen it for a while, but how could you?

Elk, also the leader of Thunder God's Axe, opens his mouth scratching his head with a pranky grin on his mouth.

"No, there are a few troublesome monsters out there in other cities. Go away for a little while."

"A troublesome monster?

"Oh. A dragon breed."

Pitali. I heard that one word. Ray's movement stops unexpectedly. Stay put for a few seconds and point your suspicious gaze at the elk.

"The dragon species?

But it would have been more than acceptable to be able to turn such a gaze on the elk. Open your mouth with a bitter smile.

"That said, it's not a rank s over dragon breed like you imagine. Dragon breeds are dragon breeds, but so-called unwise dragons. It's a junior dragon. … but still, I finally managed to do something with more than 5 Rank A Party groups."

Ray who hears that word and is accidentally convinced.

Even though it is a dragon species, there is a staircase of harsh strength there. For example, a flying dragon with a common dragon knight is also said to be Wyburn, one of the lowest dragon species. And the dragon breed that became the ingredient of the dragon robe that surrounds Ray has a higher intelligence than man, an advanced dragon that even uses its own magic called dragon language magic. And furthermore, it is an authentic monster that lives on a millennial basis in the Enchanted Dragon, the owner of the Demonic Stone that Elaine had on the altar of inheritance.

"So, what kind of dragon was that?

It would also be interesting for Ray if they heard he had just defeated the dragon. The wizard who was next to the elk asked Ray with that curiosity. As Elk's wife, Min, the wizard who is essentially partitioning Thunder God's axe, smiles and opens his mouth.

"I knew even boys like you would be attracted to dragon breeds. We defeated the Rock Dragon. He was a powerful enough opponent for a junior dragon species."

"Rock Dragon? From the name, is it a grounddragon system?

"Oh. Instead of not being able to fly, he has a very high defense.... against physical attacks, though."

"With your mother's magic, it wouldn't have been that hard to defeat."

Rhodos says he seems to be as good at it as he is at it for some reason.

Ray laughs heartily as he sees how it goes.

(Apparently, it's the same with the Mazacon. No, wait a minute. I mean I can be proud of myself like this...)

"... could you have followed me, too?

Horrible to ask Ray.

Sure, Rodos is a rank C adventurer, while at the same age as Ray. But on the contrary, in the end, it's still only rank C. Not very much, but I didn't think I had the means to finally deal with a monster that had more than one Rank A party coming together.

"Gu."

To Ray's question, Rhodos unwittingly clogs the words. Elk's hand reaches into Rhodos' head like that and strokes him hard to scratch.

"Ha ha. Exactly. I wouldn't take my son to a dragon opponent. When we fought, we had them turn to guard the stronghold."

"Right. It is impossible to deal with dragon species just about rank C. If it's about Wyburn, multiply it by the number, we might be able to figure it out."

"Gu, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. If you're gonna say that, you're still rank D. You're not in a position to tell me what rank is up there."

Saying that, Rhodos stares at Ray with shame and thin red cheeks.

But although that's what I say in my mouth, when I think of the fighting power I saw in the Orc settlement, maybe these guys. Or? I thought about it.

"Rhodos, that's a little sweet of an idea."

It was Ming who spoke to Rhodos like that. Continue the words in a tone that can also be described as neutral that does not make you feel feminine, as usual.

"I heard that Ray was asked to take medication materials to the City of Plague. That's also the Guildmaster's immediate nomination request. And the request is also a success. Given that, the contribution and strength to the Alliance is sufficient, so it is likely that the rank will rise within a short time, though. I can't do this, but maybe a few more times."

"Mother..."

To the words of his beloved mother, Rhodos retreats one step back as if he had been shocked.

He was an elk looking at his son like that funny, but eventually he turns his gaze to the request board like he came up with something.

"Right. Sure is awkward for Rhodos to hold us like he is now. What do you say, Ray? Why don't you and Rodos take any crusade requests?

"... Ha!? Yes, what are you talking about all of a sudden, Dad!

To that word of elk, rhodos reflexively.

But surprisingly, Ming agrees with the opinion lightly.

"Right. Sure, that might be nice."

"Hey, even my mother. Why would I do that? Mostly when it comes to work, you said you'd be closed until spring after this one!?

"... Rhodos. Surely you would be one of the young adventurers. But that ranked up without struggle thanks to being with us. You know there are quite a few who think so, right?

"It's..."

Rhodos stuck unintentionally in Minn's words.

In fact, the people you're partying with rank a together. Furthermore, because the two men were fathers and mothers, there was no choice but to say that those who thought so would come out.

Of course Rodos is expected to be a promising adventurer, even young, as Min said. Combat power is the only new supernova I can say. inferior to Ray, but other than that. It is not a mistake to say that I have grown up with an English talent education because I have been acting with my Rank A Adventurer parents since birth, especially with regard to good per capita and knowledge as an adventurer.

But for this reason, there is no one who is jealous of Rodos and remembers his seclusion. And it was the Seven Lights of Rank A Adventurer's parents who decided to speak to such people. Naturally, as a mother, it's no fun for her own children to be told that way, so it's something we've always thought of as a well-armed adventurer without ourselves.

Having said that, I am also anxious to put on an adventure with just one of my beloved sons. For Min who thought so, Elk's words could have been a ship across the street.

I look beside Chillari and smile bitterly in the face of the man with the prank kid's smile as it is.

Of course, I didn't think my husband, who wasn't fit to think hard, would have thought that far.

"All right, if you decide that, you have to pick a crusade monster soon. Fortunately, it's already winter. I don't know if there are any monsters out there that are unique this time of year."

"Hey, Dad! Don't take it personally!

"Fair enough. Min doesn't have a problem with it, does he?

"Right. You are our proud son. Given its strength, I can safely entrust you with solo activities."

"Even my mother...... but yeah. Okay, if your mother says so much, I'll try."

"Absolutely. I don't know what I can do about it."

Ray, who saw such a family interaction and was completely left behind, shrugs unexpectedly.

"Didn't I just get totally involved?

I came looking for some kind of request from the source, but still sighed in a slightly unconvincing manner and followed after the three of them who headed in front of the request board.
