Those who are ruling the city of Emosion on the day of the abrupt report… more precisely those who are employed as their subordinates rather than nobles who are nominal lords will be stunned.
"What! Rem, the race has been defeated!?
Of the multiple people who were in that room, a man in his early 30s speaks first.
"Yes, that's the case with the reports I've received. It's a report coming up directly from the crime scene, so I was wondering if it was true."
In the words of a man in his 20s, the colour of joy flashes in the faces of the ten or so who were there for a moment. But...
"Hmm? Wait, wait, wait. I'm glad the lem race was defeated, but why is that land, not the sea where the lem race lived? No, I didn't know what Rem Race looked like, so if they told me it was a monster that could work on land, then what?"
And the words shall have a hard face, as the others returned unto me.
These are the people who are essentially moving the city of Emotion, and there is no easy way to believe in information that is true, but therefore not certain. At any rate, it was only natural to be cautious, basically, in a city also known as the gateway to the Kingdom of Mireana, where thousands of merchants from Haiqian mountains gather innumerably.
"If you say so, you are. In the first place, is that monster really a lem race? According to the information in here, he suddenly showed up not so far from the city."
"This will also be a report from the field on the matter, but he said he used magic items to force the lem race to transfer"
"... what?
It must have been an unexpected word. All those on the spot turn their gaze to the man who came to report with the missing face in between. As if the man doesn't know what he's talking about.
Even for a man, I keep opening my mouth to see if I expected to be able to turn such a gaze.
"It's only a report from the field. Perhaps more information will come in later."
"... well. Anyway, if the Rem Race was really defeated, there's no better news. The adventurer who defeated that lem race, that's for sure, isn't it? I was using Griffon as an obedient demon, and I was driving myself out of port with a bunch of ships."
"Yes."
One of the women on the spot opens her mouth as convinced as she watches the man who came to report snort.
"I see. If you're an adventurer like you can follow a griffon, it certainly might not be strange to have such a non-standard magic item. That adventurer seems quite capable, but I wonder if he can pull through."
"Stop it. As it's coming up in the report, he's the one being blindfolded by the guild master in the city of Gilm. And according to the information in here, he's also close to Larks Borderline Uncle. If you get your hands around the corner and you get your hands around that side, it won't be a shade."
A man answers as if he were stunned by a woman's voice, and the woman who hears it exhales.
"But that's more than enough worth risking. You're using magic that's good at ranged attacks, and you're using Griffon as your obedience to fly freely through the sky? There's no more power when it comes to pirates and shit."
In that word, there is a voice of consent.
It was only recently that pirates had almost disappeared under the influence of the lem race, but if it were true that the lem race had been crusaded, because the pirates would undoubtedly also begin their activities, as they had done before.
It's a lem race that could only be described as a disaster if you try to make it a city of emotions, but it's arguably one of the few profits that the pirates have disappeared.
Most importantly, there were too many negative elements for anyone to thank.
"Still. Given Marina Ariansa's manoeuvring, there will be no problem if an adventurer like that Ray wants to voluntarily relocate his stronghold to this city, but if he moves this way... it will definitely be awkward"
"... okay."
A woman nodded unacceptably to the man's words, and a woman in her 40s sitting next to him opened her mouth.
"So, anyway, you're asking the guild to see if it's true that the Rem Race was defeated, so let's just get started, okay?
"Right. The guild would have some information, and that giant monster I could see from this city would find out if it was really a lem race"
"By the way, I ask you, what kind of monster was Rem Race after all?
When one person in the room speaks the words, the gaze of everyone who fired on the spot is directed at the man who appeared in the report.
A man who opens his mouth trying to lose silent pressure.
"This is not definitive information yet, it is only the anticipation of the adventurer who was on the spot… I was wondering if it might be like Cesar Pent"
"What? Wait a minute. I don't think Cesar Pent was that huge, though?
"Yes. So I thought it might be a rare species or a superior species,"
"... I see. Then can you also be convinced that he was smart, unlike the usual Cesar pent? Well, he'll come around later from the Adventurer Guild for more information on the Rem Race. Assuming the Rem Race is gone now, we need to get ready to let the ships moored in the harbor leave somehow, because if everything leaves the harbor at once, there will be less confusion."
"Maybe that's true. Many people don't want to pay any more for the harbor, especially because of the rem race."
In that way, those in this room definitely thought about the days ahead that would keep them busy, and they gave me a headache.
In fact, from this next day on, we will be so busy that we do not have time to sleep, and some of them will fall out of fatigue.
Time when the sun is already setting and it's usually not strange for the city's main entrance to start preparing to close. Despite that time frame, there was now a large number of adventurers in front of the main entrance. Needless to say, those who saw the lem race and popped up, and then took Ray's suggestion to do the demolition of the lem race, which ended and came back to the city.
"I got my guild card...... oh, I checked. You can come in."
"This way, too, please. Hurry up!
"Oh, wait, wait. Order. Order. Anyway, whoever messed up or interrupted the line will turn later!
"Guild cards...... Huh? Where'd my guild card go? Er..."
"Backup, call for more backup! About 5 people will take too long! Surely there must have been some guy at guard headquarters who was free!
In any case, the number of adventurers exceeds 50, many of whom carry things such as carriages and horses, so crowded that even in front of the main entrance of the city of Emosion, also the largest harbour town in the Kingdom of Mireana, they could not move in a detour. Of course, the guards are desperately going through the process of entering the city, starting with the confirmation of the guild cards, but the number is not going down inside.
Still, normally many of the noisy adventurers are in a good mood in these cases, and are grinning satisfactorily because Ray told me that Ray gave me the meat of the lem race as promised as a reward for the dismantling of the lem race, and furthermore that the banquet that will be held in the guild today is Ray's luxury.
Ray didn't originally think about the luxury of a banquet, but it was because Egret told me that if I defeated a big monster like this, it wouldn't be bad to luxury everyone with the reward.
Even as Ray, he also accepted it because he felt good that he had successfully defeated a giant monster named Rem Race and obtained the Devil's Stone of the Memorial. For that reason, he had completed the process of entering the city one step earlier than the others, and was headed to the Alliance with his fellow fighters.
"Hey, and Rem Race was strong. I didn't think you'd get the liquid out of your skin that would spoil our weapon on top of disabling the physical attack."
"... you're in such a good mood for breaking your proud Paul Axe. As far as I'm concerned, I never want to fight another monster like that again. Why is Cesar Pent so huge and vicious and vicious?"
"As, well. Please calm down, Mr. Miloir. Anyway, I defeated the Rem Race."
Ray takes the road as he looks around the city, even as he hears Egret, Miloir and Hendeca speak respectively.
I guess those who had already returned before Ray touched on them. The whole city is busy, and the sight of happily speaking with those nearby plays out there.
So no one spoke to the Rays who defeated the lem race because there was still little information spread about whether they were happy or unhappy or who defeated the lem race. But that, too, would sooner or later be known if the adventurers who are now proceeding in front of the main entrance entered the city.
(I'm not too happy it's going to be a strange noise. What is it?... Well, if a guy comes close enough to try to target me, I'll just deal with it accordingly)
While thinking like that, the line takes the walk and eventually arrives at the guild, which is also the destination.
"Seto"
"And Shen."
To inquire between Ray and Hendeca, the two move to a space for submissive demons while ringing briefly.
Drop it off and the four go inside the guild.
"Hey, that"
"Oh, it's deep red. Then I knew..."
"Is that that monster you saw before noon?
"There's a rumor going around that's a lem race, but why would a lem race show up on land that should be off the ocean?"
"Wasn't it a kind of monster that could travel to land? As far as I can tell from here, it was obvious that it was a Cesar Pent monster. Then..."
"But if you've been offshore all this time, why are you suddenly on land?
The adventurers who were in the guild, or those who were having a slightly earlier dinner in the co-located liquor store, find Ray who came into the guild and mouth rumors and predictions, but Ray goes straight to the counter without having to look like that. Egret and Miloir are used to that kind of gaze in their previous experience. I don't see how this one cares at all. Only one person, Hendeca, was looking around with some restless look.
"Look, calm down. You're one of the stars in this case."
"But Mr. Miloir, I don't have a lot of places like this..."
Ray calls out to the receptionist as he hears such voices from Miloir and Hendeca.
"I've completed my crusade for the Rem Race, what can I do? I've got a crusade proof site and a place to think about it, but it won't prove anything more than we haven't found Rem Race in the first place."
"... hey, wait a minute. I'll call the people up there right away!
The receptionist, who decides that he is beyond the limits of what he can judge, tells him so, as he panicked, and pulls him to the back.
At the same time, those in the guild who heard Ray speak up in amazement.
"I knew they were going to rem race..."
"But how do we prove it?
"Come on? But now the city's finally gonna be quiet, too. Because of the adventurer from the outside, I was wondering what I was going to do because my request was all over the place."
Ray was waiting to hear that voice but didn't look like he cared, but eventually a guy in his 40s shows up with the receptionist who left earlier from behind the counter.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I, Roseus, who assists the Alliance Master in our guild. Anything, I heard you crusaded the lem race...... can I ask you more stories?
"Oh, I don't mind"
Ray snorts at the polite response unexpectedly of the person who came out. Most of the guild staff I had met looked tough, so I looked at the person in front of me with considerable surprise.
They are led straight to Roseus and to the conference room on the second floor of the guild. I guess the structure around here is much the same for any guild in any city. There are, of course, many fine differences, including the number of meeting rooms upstairs and how they are indoors. For example, in the city of Emosion here, which is also Harbor Street, coral and shell figurines are placed inside the conference room, or the walls are painted in a color reminiscent of the sea.
Hendeca, who entered the conference room for the first time, looked around with interest, and Egret and Miloir, who had been in the conference room many times before as high-ranking adventurers, did not look particularly different. It's not like it's the first time I've been in a conference room, so I had nowhere to think of anything in particular.
"Well, so you knocked out the lem race...... Um, sorry, do you have any evidence like that? Anyway, no one has clearly seen the Rem Race, so I'm wondering if I should deal with some of it here."
"I guess. … then I want you to take a look at this"
That being said, it was a giant demon stone about 30 cm in diameter that Ray took out of the mystering and placed it on his desk.
