Legend

Leaving the city of Zagirum, the carriage that Alektor made me pull to my feet. That was nothing in particular, but the fact that nearly 100 spears were on that carrier… Furthermore, almost all of those spears were rusty or missing a tip, as opposed to the warrior using the spears, they attracted the attention of the surrounding area because even other adventurers were in such a state to frown upon them.

The merchants watching it wondered what Alektor had brought them spears that only seemed to be like this garbage for, and Taenia had a bad feeling they might ask us to use this for ourselves.

In the meantime, it was Ray who broke the silence around him and advanced one step forward.

"I think I said about 20 bottles would be fine... that's all you've been collecting so often"

"No. I'm not struggling as much as they say. Because it's just something that you can't use or have to dispose of if you don't take care of it as you can see. For that reason, the blacksmiths and weapons shops were delighted to reject it. The result is this amount... Actually, I don't care because I hardly have the original hands to collect these."

Alector returns words to Ray with a full smile. Anyway, I guess it was impossible for a merchant not to smile because the reward for hiring a Rank C Adventurer is something close to half garbage, named this spear.

… The sweetest idea of Alektor is that he will later see Seto's appetite with his eyes and even see Ray's appetite at the same time and be crushed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ray! What are you gonna do with a spear that just seems like this garbage!

Taenia unwittingly speaks to Ray, who is having a conversation with the two of us laughing.

Because of the use of a long object called Halvard as a weapon, Taenia herself had something to think of against a large number of spears that only seemed to be garbage, as she had put it in her mouth.

But Ray answers flatly to such a question that neither Taenian outrage nor confusion. All I'm saying is that I have nothing to be guilty of. There's really nothing to be guilty of because it's actually a disposable weapon used to throw if you try it on the ray. I would rather use it as disposable, because spears like those that Alector brought me are more nostalgic and gentle than fine spears.

"What, you use it to fight, of course?

"So! It would be dangerous to use a spear like this in battle!? If I stab my enemies, that'll break their tips and patterns!?

Taenia giving advice with a serious face. But Ray opens his mouth with a grin all the time that there is no problem.

"Oh, I'm fine. In the first place, as you can see from the sickle, there will be no close combat with spears in actual combat."

"... what? What are you talking about? That's a contradiction, isn't it?

You couldn't understand Ray's words, Taenia, pointing a frigid gaze somewhere. With such a gaze of suspicion, Ray quickly and only reaches for the spear on the carrier.

"I use spears for ranged attacks. There 'll be times when bandits attack like they throw daggers, won't there? Think of that as a spear."

"No, he said he'd throw a spear..."

Because they use Halvard, Taenia can understand the weight of the spear. A spear is basically a light object, from 2kg to 3kg. Few things are close to 5kg if they get a little heavy. That's why the Halvard used by Taenia weighs slightly less than 5kg.

"Hmm? Oh, well. Can't you help not knowing my powers? It's this look."

Even in a robe, its height is small and luxurious. Even though you've seen the scenes you're fighting, you won't believe it first, no matter how much Ray says he's strong in arms against the Taenians, who are almost first-person. Death size is a magic item to look at, and they may be deciding it has the effect of weight loss. No, that's true. Conditionally, only when Ray and Seto have it, but the weight is almost negligible, because it is reduced to the weight of dead trees, chopsticks, or knives or forks.

"Is it actually faster to show it?"

Only at first sight, Baijian lifts about five spears on the carrier. Without even showing how powerful he was, that's why he lifted his spear as if he were picking up even the twigs falling around it. It is then stored in order to the mystering.

Too much of that sight, to say the least, was shown, and just as Taenia was out of line. That was Fabel watching the story go next to Taenia and the merchants other than Alektor, who belongs to the merchant corps. And so are the people and feet who have worked so hard to carry more than 100 iron spears to this point.

In such a stunned gaze, Ray next stored the spear on the carrier to the mistering, and eventually all the spears disappeared from the carrier without taking 10 minutes to hang.

"... I seem a little tired. I'll be staying overnight at the inn, so Fabel says hello later."

"Uh... I did... wait a minute! Where are you going?

Favel holding onto Taenia's shoulder as she turned her back on herself and tried to return to the whole city. If you keep letting reality escape here, you'll be the winger of paying compensation for the request being discarded, and above all, you have to deal with an insane person like Ray yourself if it stays this way. It was judging and acting that way.

"What, how can you lift a spear so easily? How hard do you think I'm having until I'm free to use Halvard? This must be a dream, yeah. No doubt about it. So let go, Favel. I'm going back to the inn and get some sleep! That's until spring!

"Damn, you're still vulnerable to emergencies. Besides, I'm not hibernating or anything. Here we go."

"Yah! I'm going home!

Calming down Taenia as if the toddler had regressed and finally succeeding in putting it back together in about a few minutes.

By that time, he had also returned with a cargo deck carrying spears, surrounded by merchant squad faces and escort adventurer party Shizuku, and members named Ray and Seto alone.

... It must have been helpless in a way for some merchants to have a slightly disturbing look when they saw the toddler regressed Taenia.

"Oh, Mr. Ray. Are you asking me to escort you? It's also rare."

"In the end. Look, it's the edge of the last Icebird raid that saved us."

Ray having a conversation with Langa while giving him the guild card and the devil's necklace. Nearby, the other guards were checking the merchant carriage for suspicions, or if there was anything wrong with the pass. In any case, there has been more than one disturbance in relations with the Bestian Empire in a short period of time, which makes the city more difficult to get in and out of. There was also a reason why Langa, who was also the captain of the guard, was here to deal with the situation when there were other things besides the usual aspects of road play.

"Oh, if you say so"

I guess I remembered the disturbance a few days ago. Nodding as Langa is convinced.

"Hasn't there been a guy or something that's been raided by monsters since then?

"Right, I'm not out. Sometimes not many people come all the way to the city of Gilm this season."

Needless to say, Langa tells me that this time the merchant squad of Alector is unusual. And it also smells that that's why ID checks are getting tougher.

"Right. Well, I don't think there's a particular problem from what I've seen... but I'll leave that to the experts."

"Oh, that would help."

While we were having a conversation like that, I finally finished checking the carriage, and I'm admitted to have no problems.

"Okay, you can come through.... Ray, be careful"

Leaving only one last word behind, the Rays marched out of the city.

"Then I'm the left of the merchant squad. Favel's to the right. Louid is a bow, so be wary of monsters and bandits attacking you from anywhere in the middle. Ray asks for the back of the carriage. It means that Seto has a sharper sense of smell than we do, so you'll know as soon as someone attacks you from behind."

Taenia giving instructions with Tekipaki. From the way it looked, I couldn't really see that I had toddler regression just about 10 minutes ago.

The merchants of the merchants also change the expression they were looking anxious at into something of relief.

(Shit... I had no idea you'd scratch that shame over there. Thanks to the merchants gaze...... largely, that and all this is bad ray. all that insane imitation)

"... hmm? Hey, what's up?

As Taenia instructed, Ray, who tried to head behind the merchant squad, notices his gaze and looks back.

Then there was the look of Taenia with a resentful gaze somewhere there.

"Hey, it's nothing. Better than that, hold on tight, because behind the escort is a pretty important place!

"Can you put me in such an important place?

"Because Seto's here."

Besides, I felt like they told me you were out of combat, Ray, but I sighed that too because I had never actually received a request to escort a merchant army like this one. Ask Taenia what she was concerned about earlier.

"The merchants are in the carriage, are we walking?

Hearing the question, Taenia opens her mouth to Ray with a gaze somewhere shaky.

"What, you're the escort and you want to get in the carriage and make it easier? If you stay in the carriage, you can't respond quickly when a lot of monsters attack you, can you?

"I know that, but I think if we all get in the carriage and earn some travel distance, we'll end up with less risk of a raid."

"It's also true that there are parties that do take that approach. The point is, do the escorts react slowly when there are raids with less raids per se, or vice versa? We're taking the latter."

"I see. If you do have a carriage, does it slow down your response when you're walking on the ground?"

Ray nodding at Taenia's description. And there goes Alector through the street and pinches his mouth.

"And as I said in the guild, we're losing one carriage with our buddies in the merchant squad because of the Icebird raid this time. So the carriage is loaded to the limit with goods purchased in the city of Gilm. I'm sorry, but the merchants are pushing to the point where they can get on, so there's a reason why we can't afford to have all the adventurers on board."

"... because. Okay? Look, then I'm just going to my place! It's time to stay away from the city, so we'll make sure we're in line."

"Got it. Seto, let's go. We're behind you."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rings in Ray's words and goes behind his back with adultery.

With such a stroke of Seto's head, it was a ray that reminded me that I hadn't used Icebird's demon stone yet.

Line up the carriages and the Rays take the streets leading from the city of Gilm to the city of Abu Ero.

Even if it's the most lined up, it's two carriages. It was only going vertically back and forth, and the situation was that the Rays were escorting the area dispersed around it, as Taenia had instructed.

"... well, it's getting a lot brighter"

"Gru?...... Gru"

To Ray, who looks up at the sky and whines, Seto also looks up at the sky so that he can be caught again. Ahead of that gaze is the dazzling and shining sun. Fortunately, it had not snowed and the weather was such that I could say winter was clear.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about the cold,"

Turn your gaze to the side of the street, where you can see the frost column standing ground. Ray tramples the ground with prank. Then I heard a creepy sound of crisp.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seeing Seto go to the side of the street wanting to do it himself, Ray quickly remembers his role as an escort and returns to the back of the carriage.

Listening behind you to Seto crush the frost column and roar in a good mood.
