Legend

"Well, I asked you to."

"... please, Ray"

"Oh, I got it."

In front of the main entrance of the city of Gilm. So Ray nods small across Seto's back as he is dropped off by Langa and Elk.

We didn't get permission to fly with Seto from all over the city, just like we did when we headed to the city of Bahr, but Langa took permission to leave the city despite the night, under his authority as captain of the guard.

Most likely, in this case, it was natural in a way. Anyway, this action must only be carried out in secrecy. Ray, who has been quite prominent in the city of Gilm lately, stands out terribly if he flies across Seto's back all over the city, even though he has few eyes at night. And perhaps for the spies of the Bestian Empire, who still seem to exist in the city, or for those of the kingdom of Mireana who are trying to sharpen the wars and neutral forces of the city of Tiger Sight and Gulm, it becomes precisely the bait that exists in front of them.

Once Guildmaster Marina gets permission from Lordship Dusker Larks to expand the city's boundaries and temporarily use magic items for communications, it's not like they can be deployed for that long. We needed to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Ray himself didn't think that complicated, but Marina, the guild master, and Langa, the captain of the guard, were supposed to think about the area and walk out the main gate.

Although Elk didn't say anything in particular about whether he was worried about Min or Rodos or didn't originally think that far.

And under the gaze of Langa and Elk, Ray gently strokes Seto's neck.

"Seto, then it's all the way to the city of Abu Ero. Full speed, please."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Left to Ray's request, he rang high, and Seto's figure quickly disappears into the night sky after a few steps of help and wings as if to scratch the cold wind around him.

One and one like that, as Langa prays still. And Elk bowed his head deeply and dropped him off.

It's the winter to spring season, but it's still cold if it's still night. It would have been even worse if it had been above the ground, not above it.

Normal people would undoubtedly have been attacked by the cold enough that the roots of their teeth would not engage, but while wearing dragon robes that can almost disable the heat and cold, their bodies can also be called out-of-the-way rays, and Griffon, who is also a Rank A monster. One person and one person were flying in the sky without looking like they cared at all about this level of cold.

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed or rained, and the wind isn't as strong. There are moons and stars floating in the night sky, and there is no trouble with the lights because of the cold or because the air is clear. As he advanced through the night sky, which could be described as a kind of comfort, Ray took the dishes he could eat by hand, like sandwiches and skewers, from the mysteries and gave them to himself or to Seto.

Elk attacked me on my way back to the inn to have dinner somehow, and I thought I had captured the watchman for a paragraph and went straight to the guild. As soon as the guild masters decided on their future policy, they didn't have time to eat because things were going on in the rage stream.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto eats Ray's offered sandwich with his throat ringing.

Such a seto, but he also showed his dexterity of flying through the sky at all possible speeds with his wings flapping wide while savoring dinner. Also.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It was just the great work of the Eight Sided Six Arm: a monster with low intelligence and no sense of the threat of Seto would recklessly try to strike his wings, or use the King's intimidation to clarify differences in character if he tried to approach him, and even check the ground sharply with his eyes at night to make sure he didn't stray to Abu Ero.

And Ray finds some lights on the ground, watching Seto fall to earth without having to strike particularly aggressive with intimidation using his voice and magic, again using King's intimidation against a giant bat monster called Bickbat, who is recklessly attacking himself. That part where multiple lights were gathered was clearly where people's lives were taking place.

Seto, come down.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto follows Ray's words and goes down to the ground as he glides. He descends to the ground and slows down as he runs straight down the ground when he folds his wings.

"Here we are, huh?"

A huge gate about 100 meters away. That was definitely in the city of Abu Ero.

When I used to escort Alector's merchants, I was surprised by Seto's presence, so the guards refused to go into the city...

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Ray, a rank C adventurer. And that's Griffon Ceto, who's also his subordinate."

I'm guessing it's an escort right in front of the gate, with about 10 adventurers and someone who seems to be an Alliance employee waiting.

"Oh, did I make you wait in the cold"

"No, never mind. Because it is the life of the Alliance Master.... I'm sorry, but I need you to show me your guild card. 'Cause that's what happened."

I nod to the guild officials who say so, and hand them the guild cards I took out of Mystering.

Unlike during the day, you didn't notice the presence of mysteries because your surroundings were covered in the darkness of the night, and none of your surroundings represented a surprise response that Ray mostly showed when using mysteries.

"Confirmed. And this will be the subordinate's necklace. Now, the Alliance Master is waiting for you, so hurry up to the Alliance. We're searching around to see if any of the Alliance's adventurers are scattered and suspicious, but it's unlikely we'll find them."

"Oh, I know.... Seto"

"Gru."

Seto answers Ray's call and keeps his neck out.

I will hang the necklace of the squire that has just been given to its neck, and follow the Alliance staff into the city of Abu Ero.

Sometimes it's already night, and most houses light slight lights, or they're already asleep or sinking into the dark. A group of adventurers must have been hired as Ray and Seto, guild officials, guards and escorts through that, proceeding silently, and eventually walking for about 20 minutes saw a huge building compared to the surroundings in Ray's sight. It's the Abu Ero branch of the Adventurer Alliance.

Exactly. The lights are still on at this hour in the guild, but I don't hear the kind of hustle and noise in the tavern that you hear in the city of the guild.

As he tilts his neck slightly at the look of it, the guild employee of the guide opens his mouth as he turns his gaze toward Ray.

"Adventurers and bandits who are able to do free covert action in this case are being driven out of the house. Other adventurers are closing the tavern today because they've decided there's an urgent meeting for the war in the Alliance."

"I see.... seto"

"Gru."

You don't have to say it to the end, but I guess you understand what Ray wants to say. Shake your tail gently as you go to the space for your obedience.

"Seto, if anyone is like watching the Alliance, capture it. We're talking about a small number of people over there, and first of all, I don't think there's any, but you can't be too vigilant."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rings short on Ray's words.

As he sees how it goes, he enters the guild with an Alliance official with a surprising look on his face for some reason.

"No, I'm surprised. I heard Griffon is certainly smart, but I can't believe he understands humanities."

"I don't know about regular griffons, but Seto's special."

"I see. Was it specially raised for the devil?"

As for Ray, I know it was created by Warcraft, but if he misunderstands me because I can't be honest with him about it, I'll just give him back the proper correlation.

And it was an unexpected person who welcomed Ray into the guild.

No, maybe that's not so unexpected considering this one. Because the person was Tillage, who is also the Alliance Master of this Alliance.

"Hey, it's been a while. Nevertheless, I didn't expect to really arrive in a few hours or so from the city of Gilm to the city of Abu Ero. Is that just like a griffon?"

Ray bows his head small to Tillage, who smiles and calls out.

"This is Ray, a rank C adventurer in the city of Gilm. We need your help this time."

For once, the opponent was Ray, who used an unfamiliar salute, sometimes called Alliance Master of other cities, but Tillage quickly shook his head with a grin.

"I don't mind if it's the same as when you're talking to Mr. Marina. I'm not good enough to be used by other people."

"... ok. It helps not to use words I'm not used to."

The officials in the guild look stunned at Ray, who tells him that as he lifts his head.

I didn't know you would use this abusive language against Alliance Masters, no matter how many respects they told you not to use.

Ray himself doesn't know that Tillage, who was promoted to the Guild Master in anticipation of an arm of organizational management, puked and sounded the pus of the Guild by striking several hands early in his tenure, such as shooting out more than enough of that arm to close a department that was spending wasted expenses, or picking officials embezzling Guild funds and sorting out organizational forms that had many complicated and wasted places. Known by the aliases of the proud arms on the back for their poor appearance, they are admired by the adventurers of the city of Abu Ero.

So some people threw a slightly risky caged gaze at Ray for abusive verbal use even though he was allowed to do so against such a person, but if you take it to Ray, it's usual for you to be exposed to such a gaze, and you don't see how you cared at all.

No, on the contrary, it was a huge downside, considering that a few people who were ignored their gaze reinforced their opposition to Ray. Around here, it can also be described as a major drawback of Ray, who basically only knows the guild of the city of Guild.

Even in the city of Barr, I knew the Alliance Master, but it wasn't happiness or unhappiness that I had met Seyce, the Alliance Master in the city of Barr, or that it wasn't something that people around me would find objectionable to Ray because of the Devil's Fever.

"... Shall we talk in my room for a moment? I would also like to inform you of the findings we have obtained in the last few hours."

I guess I felt the dissatisfaction of those few officials. Tillage led Ray to his office.

"Here you go. Please come in."

The door to the office is opened and Ray is invited inside.

We go inside the office according to Tillage's words, but what's going on inside was very different from the marina and Seyce's office we've seen so far.

Sometimes marinas and seis were basically from adventurers, and they were pragmatic rooms. Or swords, spears, canes, etc. were decorated on the walls, but Tilage's room had a desk in the back of the room, and several other desks were arranged regularly.

(Sounds like a classroom at school)

That was Ray's first thought when he looked inside the room.

The office itself is not that big, so it's not the size of a classroom.

"Haha. Are you a little surprised? It will be very different from Mr. Marina's room. Anyway, my role was closer to being an adjuster than an Alliance Master. That's why I get all sorts of paperwork going around like this."

Tillage scratches his head as he grins somewhere shy.

"I'm surprised, but I still think you can make it easier for yourself if you want to work in the office"

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that. Others look like they've decided to go into this room. Sit down, please. Unfortunately, I'm not that good at making tea, and there's no reason to drink alcohol at the moment, so I can only serve about white water."

With that said, Tillage gently magically flushes his magic by touching the pot that was placed with the tools to brew tea on the side of the clerical desk. Then at the next moment, the water that was in that pot is instantly heated and the hot air rises.

"Magic Items"

Ray squeaks unintentionally when he sees how the water has instantly turned into hot water.

Tilage snorts with a grin at the words of such a ray.

"Yes. As you can see, a large number of people will be working in this room at the same time. I'm ready to drink tea at any time for that. But like I said, I suck at making tea, so it's about white water I can serve. Please, go to the couch there."

"Sorry, thanks"

When Ray lowers his hips on the couch as recommended, a cup of white water is placed in front of Ray as he says. And at the same time a tirage sits across the street from Ray.

"Well, let's talk first about the information we're gathering now"

That's what Tilage tells him as he carries the white water to his mouth.
