Legend

"Uh... I wonder what's going on"

Ray, who took off his dragon robe and Slapenil shoes, falls into bed and blurs.

It's already been 5 days since I came to this city of Emotion. I tried going out into the ocean a few times, but every time I was only attacked with a sea water spear, and I couldn't find the Rem Race figure anywhere.

Yesterday, I had an adventurer party with a magic item ship that had something to do with Ray today, and while Ray and Seto were being attacked, I had to look in detail for the sea, but still couldn't even find a clue to the rem race.

"In the first place, how does Rem Race figure me out? If me and Seto can fly over the ocean, they'll decide to attack us..."

Yes, if Ray and Seto go out to sea, they will be attacked by the Rem Race. This was a fact with no exceptions whatsoever, and in Ray's head he couldn't figure out how Rem Race figured out his existence.

"Normally, I guess you're sensing my magic... but there's no conclusive evidence, is there? Well, I hope it means attracting enemies, because there's no problem."

Chirali, and gaze at the floor of the room. Rolling there unconstitutionally are bags containing large quantities of silver and copper coins. Even a few pieces of gold are mixed inside.

All of that is the money Ray has earned over the past few days and will continue to grow indefinitely until the Rem Race is crusaded.

Speaking of how you made all that money, if Ray and Seto were flying over the ocean, for some reason Rem Race would concentrate their attacks on you. In other words, if the ship sailed in the meantime, it would have been money earned using the fact that you hardly had to worry about raids.

That said, safety is not guaranteed. Rem races attacking Ray and Seto are quite distracting, and the attack itself ensures, but sometimes stops attacking as I say I'm tired of them along the way. Sometimes then you make the choice to head to the ship, and in fact a few lem races have even gone into such behaviour.

Still, the likelihood of being able to leave the harbour without being attacked meant that more and more shipowners were making direct requests to Ray.

In the sense of making money, if you keep doing the same imitation, you'll probably make more money than the prize money hung on the lem race. While I think so, I am not satisfied with the current situation, as Ray's purpose was sometimes to have more importance of demonic stones and materials than gold.

There are also reasons why the gaze of jealousy directed at them by other adventurers is annoying. If you try to be the other adventurers, Ray makes tons of money easily just flying through the sky, so it would be natural in some ways to look at him like that. Especially the first adventurers to buy a ship and aim for a lem race hate Ray like a snake scorpion. Still not getting your hands on it directly would definitely also be affecting the fighting power of Seto, the Griffon, and Ray himself being an alias adventurer. If Ray was a regular Rank C adventurer, he could even have been in an unfortunate accident by now.

And when it came to what happened to some adventurers who found out they couldn't get their hands on Ray directly, it was to circulate rumors. Says, 'Ray unleashed a monster he had tamed off the coast of Emosion in order to roll up the money from the shipowner, or to get a prize hanging on the rem race.'

Naturally, most of the rumors have not been dealt with as being circulated by adventurers driven by jealousy and jealousy, but there are a handful of adventurers who believe in it, although they have come all the way to the city of Emosion for a thousand dollars.

It was the words of those who believe in rumors that if they were asked if they could tame a monster that would be so huge in the first place, they would never be impossible because they were taming Griffon, a rank A monster, or that Ray himself would have been in the ear even if he had been in the city of Gilm, far from the city of Emosion because he did not know about the existence of the lem race and was told by the guild master of the city of Gilm for the first time.

Some of them believe the rumors and are driven by outrage to cram into the rays, but such people basically recieve them, and those who go into exercising their strengths take the countermeasure of stunning them and throwing them to the side of the road.

Some people may be in theft or plundered because they are passed out and thrown out on the side of the road, but Ray has decided that that is what they deserved, that they were unlucky.

Still, those who believed in rumors and tried to scare the money used the means of appropriately depriving the golden-eyed ones after stunning them and similarly abandoning them to the side of the road. In fact, some of the bags rolling on the floor contain gold obtained from such people.

"Anyway, there's nothing you can do about not discovering what Rem Race looks like. For being invisible from this side, I totally grasp this side from the other side.... Damn, if it's not the ocean, it's fine."

He was Ray, sighing and falling asleep to soothe the fatigue of the day.

The next day, I was slightly wondering if there was any information... it was Ray who was headed with Seto to the guild with really slight hope, but as usual I just broke up with Seto and tried to make my way to the guild, and I can accidentally speak up.

"Uh, su, sorry! The robe guy there!

I turned to the voice I heard from behind, wondering if it was any trouble again, and understood why I was called at that moment.

What came into my eyes was a person in leather armor equipped with a typical warrior named Longsword. He's got a weak pushing grin somewhere, but at his age, he'd be a little older than Ray. Something like late teens. But that's not where I took Ray's eye. It's a giant bird of about 1m sitting right next to that person. Icebird, it's a Rank D monster who used to be near Seto when he came to this guild.

(Being able to follow that monster means... I mean)

That's what I thought in my heart, Ray, whereas the man mouths the words as expected.

"Um, you taemed that griffon!?

Ray nods at strangely powerful inquiries.

"Oh Seto... it's definitely me who taemed this griffon. That's what you're doing, Taming Icebirds, isn't it? No, is that a summons?

"No, definitely in Tame.... Um, do you mind if I talk to you for a second?

"Uh... right"

I turn my gaze toward the Alliance only for a moment in the man's words, but since I've come to about one in 10,000 feelings as to whether or not I have any information on lem racing in the first place, I also decide I won't be particularly adamant.

"Well, I've never had another Tamer before, so maybe half an hour."

Even today, when a certain shipowner asks me to do it for an hour or so, I have to go offshore to attract the lem race, but I still have some time to spare.

"Thank you. Well, uh... right. There was a stall over there selling juice, so why don't we talk about it there?

"Oh, as far as I'm concerned, no problem. Then show me quickly."

"Yes! Uh, this way!

A man with a full grin to the point where he wonders where the weak grin he was floating earlier disappeared.

"Shen, let's go then"

"Kick it!"

To the man's words, an icebird called Shen rings short and answers.

(Oh, so that sounded like this)

As I remember fighting in the city of Gilm in the winter, Shen accidentally flies lightly to land on the back of Seto.

"Gru?"

"Kick it!"

"Shh, excuse me! Here, Shen!

"Grrrrrrrr"

A man who sees Shen on his back screams in panic, but Seto rings in the back of his throat saying he has no problem.

"I'm saying Seto's fine, too, and I don't mind. Yeah, if you say so, you didn't introduce yourself. I'm Ray. Rank C Adventurer in the City of Gilm."

"Yeah, I know. Well, Ray is famous in many ways here in the city of Emotion recently."

"I guess..."

Ray nods when he decides he must be talking about the rumors that are circulating.

"Oh, my name is Hendeca. I'm a Rank D Adventurer in a village called Cuenca."

"Cuenca?"

It was Ray asking back to his unfamiliar name, but Hendeca smiles and shakes her head.

"It's a small village in the countryside, so I don't think you know it."

"Well, sure. And you were going to give me a good voice. Like you said, you've become famous in many ways."

"That, I also wanted to speak up when I saw Griffon Ceto in the guild before, but at that time I was having some serious talk, so it was hard to speak up..."

To Hendeca's words, Ray recalls when he previously saw Shen of Icebird in front of his guild. A few adventurers and a fisherman's daughter got into trouble and somehow got caught up in it, making them imitate unfamiliar arbitration, but when that arbitration was over and they went outside the guild, Ray also saw Icebird's Shen next to Seto.

"There was no Tamer but me in the village of Cuenca, and the summoner was quite there even when I went out to the city for a bit..."

"I guess."

In the first place, Tame and Summoning Magic have the same result of being able to follow monsters and animals, but you can say something as similar and non-existent as Tame, who is always on your side, and Summoning Magic, which calls you when you need it, as in battle. Tame, whose subject is always on his side, naturally needs to be prepared by the person who taemed everything, including the cost of the bait. Compared to that, summoning magic is called only when necessary, and there is little cost because we are following the procedure of sending it back to its original location once we have done business. So even with the same technology and magic, Tame and Summoning Magic are naturally more overwhelming in choosing the latter.

"Nevertheless, Mr. Ray has been able to tame Griffon a lot."

"I didn't tame Seto when he grew up. We grew up together since we were kids."

"... I see. Sure, that would be more likely than taming a wild monster... but I still think it's amazing"

"Isn't it unusual to call Icebird Tame, Hendeca? Tame wouldn't be that difficult, but it would be a monster showing up in the winter in the first place, wouldn't it?

"Yeah. Actually, I found Shen injured about 5 years ago in the winter and he missed it when I treated him for it. With all the luck, a magic item was made by an alchemist I knew that I could normally operate outside of winter."

"You're lucky."

As we go down the road talking about Tame that way, we eventually see the streets lined with stalls.

Hendeca goes on to the stall, which is decorated with lots of fruit from the South, buys some mixed juice and fruit, hands it to Ray, and gives Seto and Shen fruit.

Ray, who received that juice, marvels at the unexpected coolness of the glass. It's as cold as if I let it out of the fridge.

"This is..."

"Oh, surprised? This stall, this magic item, is used to serve cold juice. It's not that hot yet, so it's not crowded, but they can queue it every day in the summer."

"Ha ha. That's right. I took the liberty of making magic items for you. Even though there were a lot of handouts, considering it wasn't cheap shopping, I think it would be troublesome if it wasn't fashionable."

That's what the shopkeeper tells him as he laughs, throwing a bite-sized fruit toward Ray and Hendeca, as he says besides.

"Oh, thank you very much"

"Thank you."

Both receive the fruit and move straight into the shade.

"... so why are you calling me? Naturally, you don't just want to talk about Tame, do you?

Ray asks Hendeca to go ahead and have some mixed juice.

Hendeca makes her body stretch for a moment in such Ray's words, but she immediately smiles with a weak grin and nods small.

"Yes, I hear Mr. Ray and Seto go out to sea every day looking for a lem race. Well, even if I'm helping you get the ship out at last. So, actually, I was hoping you could help me. Shen would be able to fly in the sky with Seto, and I think I can help you because I have good eyesight just for the birds, what do you think?

"I see."

I nod small at Hendeca's words and think.

(Actually, the problem is, given the last five days, it's obvious that me and Seto can't find what Rem Race looks like alone. Then maybe try to make it a little more likely...?

Ray looks at Hendeca looking at herself with a desperate face and Shen poking the fruit next to her.

"By the way, how much do you want when it comes to your share?

"Well... in the meantime, what do you say we try today with one silver coin?

"... is that enough? If Hendeca is okay with it, we have no problem with it. I don't know if I'll ask you to continue after tomorrow, but why don't you fly with me today?"

"Ah, yes! Best wishes!

Thus, the two and the two headed to the harbor.
