Legend

The day after there was a battle with the bandits. After that, there was nothing exactly like being raided by other bandits, and the faces of the merchants who revealed the night had left a little early after breakfast and were on the streets.

Many of the merchants were either mentally nervous or were awake as they were with the raids and the handling of the bodies of the bandits asked by Ray, but the figure of a sleeping merchant was also noticeable in the carriage going down the street, as the harm was also said.

(Well, they're not the merchants on the border at first, so I know they're not used to it... so throwing the escort out this way completely and we're asleep isn't a little funny as far as you're looking)

Ray whines inside as he walks with Seto behind the carriage in a way he's already used to.

Turning his gaze to the left and right of the carriage, there this one is also alert to his surroundings in such a way that Taenia and Fabel do not make him feel drowsy.

I should say it's just rank D party that unlike the merchants they don't make you feel drowsy because after the battle between the meadow wolves and the bandits, I left Ray to watch and sleep.

And then, fortunately, he continued to take the streets for a few hours, especially without being attacked by monsters and bandits.

"I see the city of Subrusta!

One of the merchants in the leading carriage screams that way echoing around.

At the same time, the merchants who slept in the carriage behind them heard the voice and woke up cheering.

And in the meantime, Ray heads with Seto to the carriage moving forward and speaks to Alektor.

"When Seto is around, he makes a scene when he enters the city again. Do you mind if I try to set Seto free here, like I did in the city of Abu Ero?

"Right. You won't have to worry about being raided by monsters and bandits if you get here, and you don't mind. No, it would be more helpful if we didn't have to make a scene."

"Got it. Well, unlike the city of Abu Ero, I don't mean to stay in the city of Subrusta today. You don't have to leave with me at that time.... Look, Seto. Play alone for a while."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto nods at Ray's words and flies away with his wings spread after a few steps of help as he stays away from the merchant squad.

Dropping off that figure, Ray returns his gaze to Alector and notices Alector's gaze as he stares at himself.

"What's going on?

"No, I think you said you weren't staying in the city of Subrusta right now..."

"Hmm? Oh. That's a contract for escorts to this city in the first place, isn't it? I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"That's right, but then, what are you going to do?

If I tried Alector, I would think on the road so far, naturally Ray would just stay in his inn in the city of Subrusta and then travel to the city of Gilm tomorrow. But from what I've heard about Ray now, it just sounds like he's saying he'll be back in the city of Gilm as soon as he completes his request.

And Ray nods without any hesitation because he naturally intended to.

"Naturally. The request was to escort you to this city, right? Sure, I might take a little look around the city and look for something rare, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave within today."

"But then, aren't we going to have another night camp?

"Hmm? Oh, well. Don't you know? Given Seto's flying speed, we're just wondering if it'll take half a day from here to the city of Gilm?

"... well, is that, really?

Ray nods flatly at Alector, who opens his eyes and asks almost reflexively.

In fact, I had calculated in my heart that it would probably be to that extent given the amount of time it took me to make my way to the city of Bahr.

"Most likely the gates will already be closed when we return to the city of Gilm if we do poorly in the next half day. Then I figured I'd need a night or so in the wild."

"Then what if this is still one night in the city of Subrusta and then we leave early tomorrow morning?

"I did think about that, too, but when Seto persists, it's troublesome."

Ray laughs bitterly and tells as he looks at the city of Subrusta, which is slowly approaching.

Basically in the city of Gilm Seto sleeps in the stables and Ray sleeps in the inn room. I don't have any particular complaints about that, even if it's Seto, so there was a verse that I was quite looking forward to having a chance to go wild with Ray.

Monsters like those that come out in the streets in the first place are not even enemies to Seto, who is a griffon. Well said, it would be something like bait. For this reason, wild lodging with Ray is like a picnic if you try Ceto.

"... is that right, too bad. As far as I'm concerned, it's a shame that Ray and I are going to be cut off by this."

"What, you hadn't given up on the pull-out yet?

"That's right. If you could hire a promising adventurer like Ray as a dedicated escort, it would be the same as buying more safety than you can afford. I was going to renegotiate that area."

Ray shakes his head to Alector, who will unfortunately explain so.

"I think I said it in the city of Gilm, but unfortunately I'm not going to do that. Being on the border will lead to me and Seto growing up."

"... ok. But please don't hesitate to contact me when something happens. My merchant squad basically works in the center, but there are some shops based in Wang Du, and probably will be branching out in this city of Subrusta before it's too far away"

"Branch or merchant squad?

"Yeah. Of course, the merchant squad is definitely the main business, but the shopkeeper also runs it. As you can see, I'm leading the merchant squad."

Even during the conversation that way, the merchants continue down the street and eventually arrive in the city of Subrusta.

Then we show each one his ID card and guild card for the process of entering the city, and unlike the city of Abu Ero, he enters the city without any particular noise because there is no ceto. And...

"Now we will complete the request. Thank you. Thank you."

Alektor hands over signed documents to prove completion of the request while lowering his head.

"Even for me, it was nice to be able to act with someone like you. I know it's hard because of the different places we're active, but if we get another chance, we can act together."

"sloppy. I'm going with Seto like this."

"Louid, you. Hey. I've always been an animal lover... but why do you stick to Seto all the time?"

Fabel smiles and says goodbye, and Luid tries to follow him to Ray for Seto, and Taenia stops it in a frightened manner.

That sight, which I had seen more than once in the past few days, was still inviting Ray to laugh.

Sometimes the surrounding area is near the city entrance, but there is not as much noise because it is winter. Therefore, a line of its merchants had a rare gaze from those who passed through the road.

"Right. I don't know if there is, but I might take another request with you when I get a chance. Please say hello then."

"What are you talking about? Then take good care of us, Ray."

Interacting like that, Ray breaks up with a line on the spot and walks all over the city.

From behind, Louid was still making noise for Ceto, but when Taenia pressed it in, she could hear him preaching.

I grinned at the way things were the same and looked at the boulevard just wondering if it was even one of the interesting things because I had come to the city of Subrusta at the corner.

Especially this one, but only one rare thing didn't exist. It was one stall that caught Ray's attention. If that was the kind of stall that sold a regular skewer, I wouldn't have paid that much attention to Ray. But if it was the udon that had spread from the city of Gilm that was selling it in that stall, it would have been different. Ray ordered udon quickly, although he never saw the stalls in Abu Ero because he barely had time to look around the city, but didn't think udon was spreading far from the city of Gilm to the city of Kosabrusta. But...... the noodles were simmered straight in the soup after boiling and the cosiness was gone, and I was finally able to flatten them by almost forcing even a meaty ray to pour in, not something very edible with Becha Becha.

After travelling all the way around the city, Ray, who had no particularly novel discoveries except for the unsavory udon - magic items, new dishes, etc. - had bought firewood after thinking about various dishes and night camps, and had just gone to the city gates of Subrusta to say that he had no more business.

The current time is around the corner a little past noon, because it was decided that from this time onwards we could earn some distance by riding Seto.

Your ID, please.

"This is it."

Handing over the guild card to the guards, Ray, who is only wearing his current robe, will be sent outside the city without any particular suspicion.

As a guard, although I was suspicious of Ray, who had no particular appearance of having luggage like this at this time, whether he was an adventurer or not, the letter rank C on the guild card made me hesitate to put that question to my mouth.

Fortunately for Ray, the city guard would have been one of those who checked Alektor's merchant brigade pass and guild card. It was because I remembered Ray's presence as a merchant's escort that I honestly believed in the sign "Rank C" written on my guild card. If this was a hard-headed guard, or Ray could have been detained as someone with a forged guild card. Anyway, Ray looks luxurious and short, because he doesn't look like a veteran named Rank C.

"Even if we join Seto first, will it make a scene near the city"

Whimpering, Ray going a little further down the street. Open your mouth as you look around you by the time you lose sight of the city of Subrusta.

"Seto!"

The voice was loud, but still not enough to reach the city of Subrusta. But...

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Naturally, there was no way I would have missed it if I had a good hearing ceto, and I rushed right under the ray with my throat ringing.

Then rub your face as you go and take out a sandwich with plenty of meat bought in the city of Subrusta from Mystering as you stroke your head into a sweet ceto.

"Look, you made me wait. This is a souvenir. It was quite a thriving shop, so I think it tastes pretty good."

"Gru."

Seto eats the sandwich he is given, sounding happy. A large number of sandwiches, which had as much as one silver coin, all fit in Seto's stomach in minutes of the thing.

"Well, then it's time to go back to the city of Gilm. I'm going to be in the wild on the way... but it's not that hard for me and Seto to try and do more than not have to worry about escorts. It doesn't particularly affect the cold."

Squirting, Ray crossing over to Seto's back.

Seto also lowers his back heavily, making it easy for Ray to ride and get in shape.

"So what if we go back to the city of Gilm? I want to eat udon at the pavilion."

Ray whines as he remembers the udon he ate in the city of Subrusta, which he can't even call udon.

Even as a ceto, I don't dislike udon that is slightly difficult to eat, so I just rattle my throat that I have no particular objection.

"Do you agree with Seto? … then let's go"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Seto wings and runs up to the sky after a short run as he gets used to his throat.

I heard that ringing, the monsters around me scattered in fear of Griffon, but that was a completely irrelevant story for one and one.

Fly from the city of Subrusta, for a few hours. Ray and Seto had already passed where the Rays camped the night before and were attacked by bandits, and the city of Abu Ero had also flown through the sky. But the sun is already setting, and even if we continue to the city of Gilm, it will be midnight… or Ray, who decides it is likely that it will be in the morning, asks us to descend to Seto to the rocky mountain, which was near the street.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Are we good here? And yet Ray strokes his head with a grin on Ceto as he leans his little neck.

"No problem. As far as firewood is concerned, I bought it in the city of Subrusta because it was originally scheduled for a night camp."

Tell Seto so, take out the death-size, which is also firewood and magic activator, from the mystering to use magic and set it on fire.

Then he sets a pot with stew over its incendiary fire and pierces a skewer stabbed with ice bird meat around the incendiary fire.

The stew is something we can do, but as if we were already used to cooking, taking the freshly baked bread out of the mysteries and making it easy with Seto - extravagant if you're a regular adventurer - to finish the meal.

Ray speaks to Seto, who eats dried fruit as a dessert after a meal and sleeps on the ground without even being anything like winter nights cold.

"... Now it's time to go with the main event of the day"

While removing Icebird's demonic stone from the mysterious ring.
