Legend

You can call it the gateway to the kingdom of Mireana, Port Street Emosion. In one of the rooms, the city's guard executives were discussing it in a hustle and bustle.

"So! I disagree with putting a high-ranking monster called Griffon into this city!

When a guy in his late 20s who looked serious yells like that, a woman his age sitting across the street slaps the table flat in his hand and screams back.

"So what do you want me to do!? Keep him like this... you're telling me to leave Rem Race alone!

The man who screamed a few seconds ago about the woman's words would shut up, and at the same time the other conference participants would shut up.

Rem Race. That is the name of the disaster that is now striking Emosion, the largest harbour town in the Kingdom of Mireana.

lurking offshore, sinking a ship passing nearby like a distraction. It is completely unclear what purpose it has, and at the same time it has not even been able to confirm its appearance because it destroys the ship without showing up.

There were reports from those who had struggled to defeat them that they saw something like tentacles, but the administration and the Alliance of Adventurers thought it might be a mistake to see the sea water used like a spear.

And the hand eventually struck by the administration was to multiply the lem race of the monster that caused it - although it is a name assumed because it is unidentified - by an enormous prize of two light gold coins.

It is a very painful expense to hang as much prize money as the Emotion side, but it was still acceptable compared to the damage of being kept sinking the ship.

What is spreading the damage above all is that it is irregular for the Rem Race to attack against the ship. At one point I wondered if the harbour was free to use without moving at all for a few days, like sinking a ship that tried to enter the harbour the next day.

Therefore, the shipowners also decided that it was better to keep carrying their luggage and drooling out the deficit, or turn the ship to the port for reasons such as the approximation of water and food limits… As a result, the situation of being sunk by the lem race had repeatedly occurred.

As for such an emotion side, an adventurer sent by the city of Guild, arguably the home of the Adventurer Guild, to crusade the Rem Race, which is so troublesome that there is no more. It's not just an adventurer, it's strong enough to get a letter of introduction from the Alliance Master, and even more so, it's a person who has done a lot of fighting in the war with the Bestian Empire the other day, a person of rank C that can never be said to be high rank, but given an alias called deep red.

It was true that it would not be strange to raise your hands and welcome them if you only heard that. Only one, if that adventurer doesn't even take Griffon, a Rank A monster.

Only that one point was the reason this meeting was disputed, and I was rubbing it with a story about whether to welcome Ray as he was able to follow Griffon, or to isolate Griffon somehow. However, it can be said that accepting Ray as he is is is a decisive matter, clearly representing the suffering of the city of Emosion.

"Griffon says he follows an adventurer named Ray properly and doesn't give a hand to the average person. No, on the contrary, the average person... especially from the rescued children. You think they admire you? If you think about it, don't you even get so nervous?

That's what a man among those who claim to accept Ray as it is tells him, but one party opens its mouth preaching about the dangers of Griffon as opposed to that opinion.

"So I'm telling you to think in case. This city of Emosion is the largest harbour town in the Kingdom of Mireana. I mean, that's all there is to the number of residents. I don't want to say this about the city I live in, but naturally there are a lot of people who are not thinking about it. In that, if a fool shows up to give a little bit against Griffon poorly. In that case, it's gonna be like a griffon crashing all over the city, right? If that happens, the damage could be worse than the lem race is rampant."

"As for the neighborhood, as I said earlier, I was wondering if there would be any problem if any adventurers were taming"

"Really? I hear the adventurer's pretty rough, too? But what do you think would happen if an adventurer with an alias stormed all over the city? I have also heard that adventurers such as Ray are still about the age of boys and, more importantly, specialize in extensive extermination magic. There are rumors that the war ahead created a tornado of flames and burned down the entire army of the Bestian Empire."

"That's...... but you can't defeat Rem Race without an adventurer with that much power?

Whatever Ray is, a group of people claiming that Ceto should be accepted and a group claiming that he should not be.

Someone who was silently listening to the controversy of such a group accidentally opens his mouth.

"In the first place, that ray is a wizard who specializes in flaming magic, isn't it?

"Yes, according to the information coming into me, that's what's happening"

The leader woman of the group who insisted that Ceto should be accepted nodded and replied.

"... then isn't that a bad idea in this case? I didn't make sure, but they say it's the bottom of the ocean where the lem race is. But why are you an adventurer specializing in flaming magic?

The inside of the conference room calms back to that one word.

In fact, it is true that many people thought so. Like Kraken, who has raided before, the magic of the flames would be able to handle it adequately if he were to show up outside the sea. No, Ning Lo, usually just being in the sea. Flames are also likely to be a more effective way of attacking.

But not for this rem race. It is expected to be caged in the sea, and no one has seen it properly. This meant that, as things stood, we had to use flaming magic against the sea, and that was enough of a problem to question Ray's usefulness.

"I do hear you're good at flaming magic, but I also hear you use wind magic other than that"

"No, that's why. I wonder if I can use the magic of the wind enough to be effective against enemies in the sea. Sure would be more effective than flaming magic, but I guess the one you're best at is flaming magic?

"That's... no, or boiling a whole lot of seawater in the harbor... no, right, yes"

I guess I found myself talking impotent. The woman who was defending Ray's voice gradually dwindles.

"Of course not. Indeed, Rem Race must be an extremely troublesome enemy to this city of Emosion. But I don't think that's why I can boil that thing, let alone get you to do that, even if you can. Try that, fishermen going out into the ocean are going to lose their income anyway. There are other guarantees for ships docked in the harbor, and some hell of a lot of money will fly by."

"That's... but, Captain. So what do you want me to do? There's no doubt that only adventurers with aliases have the strength, is there? Besides, are you telling an adventurer with a reference from the Guildmaster of the City of Guild to go home because his subordinate Griffon causes confusion?

References from guild masters in the city of Gilm. Half the judgment had already been made at the time the word came out.

A dark elf named Marina Ariansa has so much influence.

"Shit, sure. Is there nothing I can do when I am asked to do about it?... I can't help it, I admit to entering the city"

"Captain!"

The voices of those who were in the room echo the decision of the man who was called captain. But what was put into that voice was the opposite sentiment of disappointment and joy.

"Except!"

Disappoint, rejoice, and continue your words sharply toward those in the voiced room, Captain.

"No matter how many references there are from guild masters in the city of Guild, you don't have to be outspoken. Treat them like any other adventurer who comes for a prize. The same goes for griffons. Just like the others with the obedient demons, let them go into the city knowing that if they make any noise, the blame is on the guy named Ray. Don't forget the devil's necklace, of course."

With that word one seemed happy, the other nodded abominably, leaving the room to serve quickly.

Drop off the back of your men, a deeply sighing captain.

"Damn, I hope I can't trust the strength of the city's adventurers, but I didn't even have time to rest because of the disturbances of the adventurers who came for the prize money. I'd like to hang the prize money, but at least you won't put some more manpower over here."

Beyond being adventurers who have come continuously from the surrounding cities since they were multiplied with bounty money, adventurers with a high percentage of rough people, it is only natural that if a large number gather, they will naturally develop into disturbances, and the security guards of the city of Emosion have been so busy here for a while that there is no morning or night.

That's the same for this man, the captain of the guard, who when he gets home from work is 4 years old. My daughter is already asleep and is out of work before her daughter wakes up in the morning as well, so I haven't seen my beloved daughter awake in the last few weeks or so.

"Uh... don't be late again today for sure"

More than Rem Race showed up and sank the ship. That's all for sure, and the man ends up knocking his torso down to the table with a deep sigh that he can't see his beloved daughter awake again today.

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Ray"

The rescue ship that came back to the port. On that deck, Ray and Seto were welcoming two people.

One is a woman with a friendly grin and the other is a man with a sharp gaze at Ray as if he were staring. Both would be in their 20s.

"You've certainly been waiting a long time."

It has already been about three hours since the rescue ship returned to port, and the sun has turned to sunset. Naturally, the rescued ones have already disembarked, and all that remained on this ship were Ray and Seto waiting on deck. And it was only the captain who ran out of saying that Ray had to stay too, who was in charge, more than staying on the ship.

The sailors will have finished their work in the harbor by now and will be in a liquor store and a whorehouse.

"I'm sorry. I have a lot to discuss with you here. I'm not going to put the griffon all over the city."

"Gru?"

I guess you found out it was about you. Seto turns her circular eyes toward the woman as she squeals her throat slightly.

"Huh!?

The man behind the woman takes a breath and retreats a few steps later into the sudden action of Seto, a griffon.

And you must have noticed what you did. Open your mouth as you blush.

"Yes, okay! I'll allow you into the city, but if you rub anything, it's on you! Remember that, but don't bother us!

"Hey, what are you saying all of a sudden!... Sorry, but I'm not wrong about what he says either. Griffon's... uh, you said Ceto, right? I was given permission to put that ceto all over the city."

That's what I said, a woman handing Ray the obedient devil's necklace she had in her hand.

"There were references to Guildmaster in Guild, and there's nothing wrong with that area. However, the treatment of submissive demons is the same as normal. I'm sorry about this, but please note that it doesn't change if you have a letter of introduction"

"I know. I didn't expect to be treated differently, so I don't mind. Seto doesn't do anything to annoy people."

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's call, naturally! Seto rings his throat like that.

Looking at Ray stroking Seto's head like that, the woman exhaled in relief that this would be safe, and the man still had a suspicious gaze.

"Now, can you lend me your guild card because I will go through the process here? The reference said something about Ray, but it's still the rule."

"Oh, I don't mind"

Saying so, Ray unfolds mistering inside the robe to take out the guild card.

Two of the guards will receive it and proceed according to the rules.

Even so, Ray had a different impression than the woman with a favorable attitude towards Ray and the man with some suspicious gaze.

But even for a man, he didn't hate Ray himself, he was right to be fed up with the trouble a prominent adventurer like Ray would cause all over the city, and vice versa because the woman expects it as an effective force against Rem Race, which is also an unknown monster.

Either way, I'm not lying about the feeling of thinking of the city of Emotion, which is why I guess my attitude is the opposite and we can both keep working together.

Eventually, the process ends in less than five minutes, and the woman returns her guild card to Ray.

"The process has been completed. Welcome to Emosion, the largest harbour town in the Kingdom of Mireana. We welcome Mr. Ray. I'm glad you're staying in this city."
