Legend

Ray and Seto, who went to the aristocratic position, and Ara, as soon as they entered the position, turn a large number of gazes.

Of course even this aristocrat is getting ready to withdraw, but even in that state the ceto of the griffon, which is over 2 m long, naturally stood out and soon came to the fore when it was known that it was Ray who was carrying that griffon.

"... well, this is what happens more than all that stands out. If only"

"Grrrrrrrr"

Excuse me.

Seto rings to comfort Ray in his whining and Arla speaks out sorry.

I understood that it would probably be this aristocratic position that would bother me the most to see the presence of Ray, but nevertheless there is no other option than for my husband, Elaine, to call me more than to wish for a meeting with Ray - which, in Ara's perception, would meet him.

Of course, Ray was in the spotlight in the neutral position, but he was still in one place all the time, and his gaze was weakened, although slightly, because he was storing supplies in mysteries. In comparison, in the position of the aristocracy, which suddenly appeared, he proceeded with Ara with his gaze, eventually reaching the tent of Elaine.

"Go ahead."

"Do you want a weapon?

Probably Ara's men. While the knight is guarding at the entrance to the tent, Ara encourages him to go inside without looking like he cared about it. Furthermore, even though it is usually normal to keep weapons, there is no such thing at all.

But Ara smiles bitterly and opens her mouth to such a ray inquiry.

"It would make a lot less sense if Lord Ray deposited the weapons he had here than he had an item box in the first place. If you really want to, you need to keep the item box, but that's exactly what you refuse to do?

Ara's, Ray snorts silently at the question asking for confirmation rather than asking.

I trust Elaine and Ara, but I can't trust everything to her men. Because there's something like Vel from the former Knights of Guardianship.

"So, yes. No way. I wouldn't allow the talks without depositing the item box. There's no way I can say that. Come in, please."

"Well, that helps."

A short thank you to Ara for her concern and enter the tent with Seto.

At that time, a knight who was guarding near the tent was watching Ceto and solidifying, but all that was usual went into the tent, not so much a tent I had seen before, but one room and thought and exhale once again into the inner appearance.

"Ray, you've come a lot. Come here, please....... hmm? Hey, what's up?

"No, nothing."

He shook his head small and approached Elaine, who rose off the couch with Seto to welcome him.

I guess there's a sense that it's still a battlefield. It was the half plate armor close to the usual pure white that was wrapped around it.

"Cu!"

Elaine flies off the couch where she was sitting, yelling and flying to Seto. Seto taking it firmly on his back.

"Grrrrrrrr"

"Cucu!"

"Gru?"

"Cu!"

As usual, Ray leans back onto the couch, guided by Elaine, keeping two of the conversations intact for different races.

"Ara, have some tea."

"Yes, immediately"

Nodding to Elaine's words with all her heart, Arla heads to the simple kitchen where tea is prepared. I drop that off, and Elaine talks to Ray all the time quickly.

"Ray, I heard from Filma that you're not going to King's Capital to go directly back to the city of Gilm, is that a fact?

"Oh. As you know, I'm a little too conspicuous right now. If we keep going to Wangdu, we'll be sure to get into trouble somehow. Things like what is allowed on the battlefield, or if you go as far as the King's Capital, you won't. Think about it. Master Dusker distracted me."

I understood that Dasker also had the prospect of not wanting to expose Ray to the public too, but nevertheless decided to accept that prospect in a big way because it was also directly connected to Ray's interests, and I just nodded that Elaine looked somewhat unfortunate but agreed.

"Surely if Ray, who was active in this war, went to the king's capital, various nobles would... or even royalty. Given that, Lord Dusker's judgment is not incorrect. But... it's still a shame Ray and I are breaking up here. I was able to reunite with Ray around the corner, so it was my honest feeling that I wanted to slow down a little bit."

Is it in the light of telling you the thoughts in your heart, Elaine dyeing her thin cheeks red? Just because she originally had a beautiful face, Elaine was now dissipating from Elaine what should be called the characteristic luster of turning from girl to woman, like smelling.

For a moment, Ray stretched out his hand to Elaine sitting across the street to be drawn in, but immediately waved his head and held his hand.

Or if Elaine and Ray were the only ones here, they could have reached out. But I remembered that some of these tents looked like Ara.

Breathe small enough to calm down, Ray opening his mouth.

"Before this war started, you two were talking about going to a labyrinth city, right? What about that one? As far as I'm concerned, if Elaine's okay, I'm not gonna let her do it with a promise."

Reacting pickly to Ray's words, Elaine turns her gaze toward Ray without fear somewhere.

"Is that true? I'm glad as far as I'm concerned, but Ray would have something to do, too, wouldn't he?

That's what I say, I only see Seto playing with the yellow for a moment.

Warcraft. I didn't think Ray was serious about what he put in his mouth with a play if I tried to make it Elaine who knew what it was and how Seto would grow. So turn your gaze toward Ceto like a mixture of joy and bewilderment.

"Right. The war has just ended and we'll be busy for a while, so it won't be… soon, but I think we can still afford it after a few months."

Tell Ara as she puts the cup of tea she brought in front of the two of them.

"Is that true!?

To that word, Elaine asks with her face shining.

"Yes. Fortunately in misfortune, the war with the Bestian Empire ended with our victory. I'm pretty sure it'll take some time to rebuild it than they've attacked me quite seriously this time around. Probably a year...... no, it would take about 2 years. Especially with regard to the Dragon Knights, we have defeated almost everything that was in this war because of Lord Ray's activism, so if the Dragon Knights are bad at regaining their former strength, they will need 10 years' worth of time. Most importantly, there are still growing Feilongs, and it won't be difficult to develop some combat power."

"Flying Dragon..."

To Ara's words, Ray exhales unexpectedly.

As a matter of fact, Ray defeated almost all of the Dragon Knights, as Ara said, but he couldn't get a single piece of that material or the Demon Stone. While we were going to inform the Earl of Arius of the report of the surprise attack, we were able to disarm the captives and secure ourselves by dismantling the Feilongs who had died near our headquarters. Of course, as Ray, he was the one who defeated him, so he wanted to demand a minimum of two flying dragons, not to mention everything, but he basically gave up crying when Siminar told him that he was an early winner after the battle when it came to securing his prey on the battlefield.

(Whatever the material of the Fei Long, you wanted the Demon Stone. Fei Long is a low-ranking monster even better known as Subdragon among the unwise lower dragons. Still, dragons are dragons. Probably got some kind of skill)

When he sighs at the size of the fish he missed on the inside, Cottori, Cottori, and two things are placed on the table.

It was Elaine sitting across from Ray who put that thing down, something that Ray was also used to seeing.

"Demon Stone?

Elaine grins and nods at Ray's words, who were accidentally squealed.

"Mm-hmm. Ray wasn't there when the Fei Long deal started. Exactly the material itself could not afford to be secured, but I asked Lord Siminar to secure two demonic stones. He needs Ray... No, it's only the Demon Stone you're collecting, isn't it?

That's why I got it for you. He makes it smell like that, softly offering two demonic stones to Ray.

Demonic stone about 5cm in diameter. Assuming the same dragon species, the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone, which Elaine had on the altar of inheritance, is also quite a small Demon Stone. But still, without a doubt, it was the demon stone of a monster of the dragon species Fei Long.

"Are you sure?

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Demon Stone, you must have heard. Seto, who was in conversation with Yellow, also stretches his neck and turns his gaze toward the table.

Staring at Seto like that with a smile on her face, Elaine nods.

"Oh. I kept it for you. If Ray doesn't give it to me, there's nothing I can do."

"That'll help."

Be small and thankful and store the Demon Stone inside the Mystering.

Exactly because I couldn't give Ceto or use Death Size before Ara was here. As Ray himself, I could have shown Seto where to absorb it in front of Elaine.

"... so what were you talking about"

Ray loses the unexpected impact of an item called Fei Long's Demon Stone and tries to get back on topic.

"We're talking about how the Bestian Empire has also drained quite a bit of war power in this war, so it will take a few years to restore it. So, after the triumphal ceremony in the King's Capital and returning to Anesis, which is on the Duke of Kelp, we'll finish the various post-war treatments...... well, two months from now...... no, if you look a little extra three months or so, Master Elaine will be free to move too. I was wondering if I would be free to do so for some time."

"Is that true!?

Elaine unintentionally confirms with a grin on Ara's words.

I guess I'd be happy to see Elaine happy. Ara snorts with a grin again, too.

"Yes, I checked with Machen a while ago and he said so"

"... Machen?

Tilt your neck to a name you don't remember hearing, Ara explains.

"I'm the deputy head of Master Elaine's Knights of Escorts. Well, to be honest, I'm not familiar with affairs, so you're in charge."

"I see."

Only Ray, who understood that Ara herself wasn't very good at paperwork, nodded to convince himself.

"Right, right. Then, Ray. Three months later...... then, roughly around early summer or something. It's just the right time to travel, and that means we're going to the labyrinth city together, okay?

"Oh. Like I said, as far as I'm concerned, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If Elaine is good, I'll keep my body free any time I want"

"... well. Then come to Anesis in three months."

"Dear Elaine, I was wondering if I should stop doing that for a moment. Anesis is also at the heart of the Duke of Kelevel, and if you see Lord Ray there acting with Elaine, there will be a lot of noise."

It is Elaine, also said to be a symbol of the aristocracy and admired. Many naturally admire men and women unrelated. In addition, the aristocratic nobles who are aiming to make Elaine their own in a similar sense are countless.

Somehow he boasts unparalleled beauty, and the Duke's maid says that the next princess is certain. Furthermore, he has the alias General Princess, and with regard to combat, he has so many arms that the knights around him can hang them together that they have no hands or feet. If you try to be a single nobleman, you'll be a more attractive opponent than you have any more. Therefore, I knew that Elaine would make a lot of noise for various reasons when other men became closer to her.

Not wanting Elaine, the Lord, to take such trouble, Ara opens her mouth a little thought.

"Right, it's small in front of Anesis, but there's a village. Although I used to be in the Knights of Escorts there, a retired man with an injury runs a liquor store, so if you can get in touch there..."

"Okay. Let's remember."

Nodding, Ray comes into the tent and realizes it's been quite a while.

Of course I have a desire to talk to Elaine more, but Ray today is a presence employed by Dusker, and it was time to resume storing supplies.

"It's time to get back to work. This is probably the last time I'll see you in this war, but it's good to see you."

"And so am I."

Whimpering, Elaine turning her gaze to Ara for a moment.

I guess you understood what that gaze meant. Ara grabs the cup that was on the table and goes back.

Naturally in the same tent, but still with some distance, the attempt to leave Elaine and Ray alone was successful.

Elaine stood up from the couch and sat next to Ray, who dropped off such Arla's hindsight with a thankful gaze.

"Ray... it was a place called Battlefield, but I'm glad to see you again"

"Ah, oh. Me, too."

Ray returns the word, even though he's about to be sucked into Elaine's eyes, who's staring straight at him.

Elaine is about 5 years older than Ray is today if she thinks of it at her age, and even if she thinks of it as a mental age, she will be about 2 years older. Under such an older glossy gaze, Ray reaches almost reflexively and touches Elaine's smooth cheek.

"Ah..."

I listened to Elaine's caged voice of fever leaking by accident, but I put my face softly closer... overlapping my lips.
