Legend

"Cu!"

It wasn't the dazzling morning sun that woke Ray up that day, or the sound of a knock someone would ask, it was a cute squeal.

"... mmm..."

A small dragon about 20 cm long was seen in Ray's vision with his eyes open. It was the figure of a yellow created by Elaine as a demon of use.

"Uh... what's going on?

"Cu!"

Yellow looking toward the window in response to Ray's sleeping inquiry.

"Cu!"

Go on, then turn your gaze to the letter placed on the table… the letter Ray wrote to Elaine.

Ray, watching how it went, finally managed to understand what Yellow wanted to do. That is.

"Are you going back to Elaine's?

"Cu!"

Such a ray inquiry, a small, nodding yellow.

Ray, who was watching how it went, eventually reached for the cloth cut he had brought in wrapping Elaine's letter when he gently stroked her head.

"Look, come here for a second. 'Cause I'm gonna tie you so you don't get flown in the wind or anything, like when I brought you Elaine's letter."

"Cu!"

Hearing Ray's voice, the yellow flies over his knees with his wings gently flapping as they are.

Watching it, Ray accidentally leans his neck.

(The feathers are about 10 cm in size, but now you can fly well)

That's what I thought, but if you're going to say that, it was the same for Ceto. The wings growing from the back of Ceto with the lion's torso are not a substitute for being able to fly giants that are not very much but exceed 2 m with their wings alone.

(Ma, if you think about it without difficulty, you're right about flying using magic, not aerodynamics or something)

While thinking on the inside, the envelope with the letter is wrapped in a cloth cut, wrapped around the yellow torso and tied.

"Nevertheless, I wish you were a little slower too. I came yesterday, and I'm already going home today... how hurried I am."

"Cu!"

Yellow shaking her head at Ray's words. Anyway, it was originally only this size, so it's not flying that fast. Of course it is definitely faster than moving the ground, but still its speed is noteworthy compared to other monsters moving through the sky. In that sense, I guess we were fortunate in some ways that the Yellow had gained the ability to be transparent, even though there were some accidental elements. But even with that ability, it takes time to get back to the Anesis where Elaine lives. You don't have to worry about eating because you don't have to eat food to be a demon. There is also a danger that the magic given to Elaine will disappear when it expires for that matter.

In the end, there was no way Ray could have ordered the demon to use Elaine, and when she rang briefly, the yellow flew straight out the open window.

"Heh. You're just looking like a dragon for once."

Seeing how the yellow flew out the window, he squeals unexpectedly.

In about a few seconds I used that special ability to become transparent, but while the appearance of the yellow flying was small for about a few seconds until then, it was quite something that went into the hall.

And with the appearance of such a yellow becoming transparent, the drop off is over, shuddering for a moment unexpectedly in the cold winter breeze that came into the room, immediately closing the window and putting on the dragon robe. Easily, he takes a meal in the dining room and rolls it out to the city with Seto.

On our way, of course, is the aristocratic district where Baron Sisne's mansion was requested yesterday.

People walking around the city are wearing robes and coats overlaid to withstand the cold, while dyeing their exhaling breath white and hurrying early enough.

Ray and Seto were walking all over the city like that to my pace. Somehow Ray is blocking the cold with his dragon robe, and this degree of cold for Seto doesn't bother me at all. That's why it floated terribly from the surroundings, but that was obvious at the time I was taking Seto, so I walked to the aristocratic city without looking particularly concerned.

The aristocratic district itself has been here about the Bornter before, so it arrives not particularly lost.

Some adventurers were hired to act like gatekeepers, keeping an eye on whether or not suspicious people would come in, but they were almost passed by facial passes without knowing Ray already. Anyway, it's Ray with Griffon's Ceto, because one of the Azot Chamber of Commerce cases that happened a while back was too famous.

"Eh, take this road to the left... the third mansion? There's an owl bronze statue at the gate, so I can tell right away... oh, sure."

Ray, who was on the road, relies on the map Kenny gave him yesterday and as soon as he goes, he discovers the mansion of interest. But...

"Wow."

"Gru."

Ray, who shouts an unexpected surprise, and Seto, who rings to agree.

Anyway, because the mansion at the end of Ray's gaze was obviously smaller than what he expected when he heard it was a noble mansion. Compared to the Bornter mansion boarded in previous disturbances, it would probably only be about a fifth the size.

Of course, it's still obviously bigger than the houses where the average city dweller lives, but still unexpectedly so to speak.

And as a nobleman, in front of the gate of a small house, unlike other noble houses, there is no such thing as a guard.

"... hey Seto. What am I supposed to do with this? You think I can come in on my own?

"Gru."

I tilt my neck without knowing how to give it back, whether it be Ceto or being asked that way.

"Just because you're an adventurer about going up to Rank C doesn't mean you're going to break into noble mansions without permission."

To be precise, make this request a failure. Make it a success. Finish it and report it to the Alliance. It's the first time you're going up to Rank C. Therefore, Ray's current rank is only D.

(Nevertheless......)

Peeping into the mansion from outside the gate, Ray exhales unexpectedly.

It looks like it's been taken care of properly when it comes to the part that looks like it from outside the mansion, but the rest. There is little care for the unseen part of the road in front of the mansion, and although it is not as rough as all you can get... Dead grass and dead trees have fallen considerably. Perhaps if I had come to this mansion in the summer, there would have been tons of weeds.

(The size of the mansion and the condition of the garden. Given all this, you would be right to see that the reward was not cheap for breaking, but simply that the Baron Sisne family is poor. When that happens, the condition for moving the request up to Rank C is also probably that we discussed it at the Guild and Baron Sisne's house to build each other's hopes...?

I can't go home like this without thinking like that or going into the mansion on my own. Ray is an unnatural and extreme being who rolls in front of the mansion that way...

"Hey, you. What are you doing there!

Then, naturally, the adventurers were hired to look around the aristocratic city.

In front of Ray is a total of three men in their 30s, one man in their 20s and one woman in their 20s. Each wears a matching armor and sword.

(I think it was because nobles brag about their financial strength, or because they don't look good when each is a different piece of equipment... etc.)

Open your mouth while thinking like a half-reality escape like that.

"Well, for once, I'm nothing suspicious."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

A man in his 20s lightly returns to Ray's words.

The tone is mild, but I observe Ray in his eyes without alarm, and as soon as something happens, he puts his hands on the pattern so that he can pull out his sword.

"... I'll ask you once, why are you in front of this mansion? And from what I've seen, it looks like he's been in front of this mansion for a while."

A woman squeaks when she sees the snow that has fallen in front of the gate being trampled and consolidated.

"A wizard with a griffon. You must have been an adventurer like Ray, huh?

I guess you knew just about Ray, who nods silently at a man's inquiry in his 30s.

"Oh. It's Ray the Rank D Adventurer. I got a request from this Baron Cisne's house today... there's no such thing as a gatekeeper. I was just having trouble getting into the mansion on my own."

"Oh."

A man in his 20s grinning at Ray's words as if he was convinced somewhere. However, the grin was somewhat of a grin to be described as bitter.

"... for once, let me check my guild card. I'm pretty sure he's more ray than he is with Griffon, just in case."

"Okay."

The middle-aged man also takes the guild card out of Mystering and hands it to him, watching as he eased his attitude slightly after hearing Ray explain it.

(Apparently, as far as this goes, I suppose you can consider the impoverishment of this Baron Cisne family quite famous)

"I did confirm that it was Ray the Rank D Adventurer. However, if I stay here, I think I'll be able to speak up around us again... What do we do?

"No, I don't care what they say we do. More than a request..."

That's what I said back to the middle-aged man, who would be in the leading position of the adventurers around me, when a shadow comes into Ray's sight running from across the road toward the Rays.

"I'm sorry. Are you an adventurer who made fun of the Alliance?

That's right. A shadow running out loud. At her age, Ray and I were about the same as a girl in her mid-teens, and from under her coat there was a glance at what looked like made-up clothes. And I have a bag in my hand that looks like the groceries I bought...

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I serve the Baron Cisne family, my maid Asier!

"Slow down!"

The female adventurer lashes out as the maid approaching screaming is about to fall.

"... Asieka is a rare name"

"No, you're not"

The young man groaned more, and the middle-aged man was accidentally putting in a penetration.

Staring at those two only for a moment, the female adventurer speaks up as she suppresses them while supporting the maid so she doesn't fall.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry to bother you..."

"It's okay. But it's snowy and slippery, so don't run too hard."

"Yes, thank you"

The maid thanks the woman adventurer who supported herself many times as she bows her head with a peck.

The adventurer of the young man, who looked somewhere interesting to see such a thing, eventually opens his mouth in anticipation of calming down.

"This guy is an adventurer named Ray, and I'm talking about getting a request from Baron Cisne... from what you said earlier, you're definitely a maid of honor at Baron Cisne's house, right?

"Ah, yes. Yes. I thought I'd have to welcome you, but I forgot to buy you some food.... Oh? Well, is that the rumored Seto you have there? Best regards,"

When the maid answered the question, she went straight to Seto, not Ray... for some reason.

"Wow. You're really a griffon, aren't you? You were right."

I guess my rumors are still spreading here about the impact of Ray himself coming to the aristocracy several times. That's what I thought, Ray, but in a way that was a big mistake. I know that the aristocracy belonging to the aristocracy is highly valued by the central figure, the Duke of Kelevel, and furthermore I am trying to take in any gaps because I know I have a friendship with a princess general that can be described as a symbol of the aristocracy, and I am watching with interest about Ray, who is rumored to be more than in the city of Gilm when it comes to the king aristocracy of the largest faction, and I am trying to have contact. It will not be necessary to say that it is its central figure who dominates the city of this Guild until the Neutralists.

"Uh, I'm glad you kept it around for now when it comes to Seto. So. I've been asked to train in combat..."

"Ah, yes. Right. My husband asked me to train you in battle."

A maid who keeps her head down as she smiles.

You won't let it get in the way of your work, the blue hair that is cut around your shoulders is shaking sarcastically.

It emits an atmosphere that I really understand somewhere, and I smile and turn my gaze to Ray.

"Uh, so just to confirm, which person did you make the request to, right?

"Yes, that's what I'm asking."

To the woman adventurer's question, the maid answers that with a grin.

I guess I saw how it went and decided there was no problem. Of the three people who were looking around, a middle-aged man nodded, supposedly a leader.

"I wouldn't have a problem with that. Okay, we'll excuse ourselves for this. I still have to look around."

"Okay. Sorry for the inconvenience."

He was a maid who bowed his head again to the three people around him and dropped off his back leaving.
