A few days after I taught Okonomiyaki to Alctos. Though he went out to sea several times since then, after all, without being able to ascertain what a monster looked like, Ray had repeatedly lived his life of eating and sleeping, or walking around the city to buy seafood and train with Seto outside the city to the extent that his body was not dull, but he decided it was time to go to the guild, having been thoroughly examined for the demonic stones he had deposited with the guild.
"Yes, it's squid dried overnight. Be careful, it's hot."
Naturally, while eating seafood with Seto.
"Here, Seto. Half at a time."
"Grrrrrrrr"
Seto throats happily at Ray's words. When you tear a squid body wrapped in paper in half like that and give it to him, he receives it with a couch.
"Hmm? This smell..."
In the meantime, he turns his gaze toward the stall, grinning at the scorching smell of the sauce he has smelled.
It wasn't Alctos there...... until a while ago he was a stall owner selling hot dogs and sandwiches. However, there is no bread in that stall right now, and it is an okonomiyaki stall.
"You're getting a lot more okonomiyaki."
Ray squeaks as he looks at the stall.
The okonomiyaki Ray taught Arctos was now steadily gaining strength in the city of Emosion. One reason would be that it was ideal for snacks, as it was easy but rare and full so I felt good. Above all, however, the okonomiyaki spreads so far in a few days, which was still the biggest reason for the 'preferred' baking part, which is to just add whatever utensils you like and bake them. From seafood, starting with shrimp, squid, octopus, shellfish and fish, to pork, chicken, beef and, at the end, meat of monsters. A wide variety of okonomiyaki are present.
(That said, the okonomiyaki with the bread I ate yesterday is a bit)
I remember the taste of okonomiyaki I had at a stall the day before, and sigh inside out.
The stall was also an okonomiyaki that was usually sold by people like the one serving the bread, like at the end of Ray's gaze, but he bent the preferred part and properly cut the remaining sandwiches from the previous day and put them in as utensils.
(Well, I've seen your favorite sandwiches and stuff at the bakery when you were on Earth, and I suppose it's because they sometimes eat rice without okonomiyaki...)
Shake your head small and bite the squid overnight to dry to override the taste of the previous day's okonomiyaki.
It starts going that way, and eventually when we arrive at the guild, we break up with Seto as usual and Ray enters the guild.
"... you've lost a lot of people"
Some of the guilds had considerably fewer people than when Ray had previously arrived. Needless to say, the reason for this is that the lem race was crusaded, but I still didn't think that if I tried to lay it, the numbers would drop so rapidly so far.
But if you try to be a guild official in the city of Emosion, like adventurers and guild officials, it is the condition that has been anomalous until now, when there was a presence called Rem Race, and this situation was the normal one. Even though the number of people has decreased in the first place, it is compared to the full season when Rem Race was active, and even the current number is large enough. Anyway, this is a port that is said to be the gateway to the kingdom of Mireana, so naturally there are many requests associated with it, and the number of adventurers will be high for that matter.
"Ah, Mr. Ray. I've been waiting for you. I'll call Mr. Roseus right away, please wait a moment."
I nod small at the receptionist's words when I find Ray, and quickly and just drop him off behind me heading back.
"Hey, wasn't Ray the guy who definitely defeated Rem Race? You're such a kid?
"With that said, you were back on the boat yesterday."
"Oh, thanks to the information on the Rem race, I've been stuck in the other harbor all along. Well, I wasn't dissatisfied with the cost of staying during that time because I had an employer."
"You've been a very good employer. Yeah, I'll tell you what, you better not get your hands on him. There are a few people who have been insulted by what they see and put their hands on, but most of them are injured to an extent that won't spill."
"... such a kid?
"It means you don't look the same as you fight. In fact, according to what I've heard, his rank is about C, but when it comes to combat power, he's higher than the rank B adventurer he was forming when he defeated the Rem Race."
"... you're lying, right?
"Well, I don't know. I just saw him blow off the head of the lem race a little further away, and since he hired me to dismantle the lem race afterwards, and I got a lot of meat as a reward, I'm not going to pay you back with a vendetta. In the first place, I think only suicide seekers can imitate someone with an alias."
As Ray waits to hear his rumors that way, Roseus eventually shows up from behind the counter, in the office. It will be obvious what's in the bag in your hand that looks important.
"I've been waiting for you. There's a lot I'd like to talk about, but can we go upstairs?"
"Apparently, that's better."
Nodding at the gaze gathering at himself, Ray and Roseus head to the conference room upstairs.
Two of them had received painful gaze from the adventurers inside the Alliance even as they were ascending the stairs, but Ray had already felt used to gazing from others, and Roseus had nothing to fear from this level of gaze as much as Ray did as he did from the upper levels of the Alliance.
"Well, I'll give you back the Demon Stone first. Please, check it out"
A cloth bag that sits across from each other in the conference room and soon Roseus tells him so and offers it.
Ray, who receives it, opens the bag and takes out the contents. The contents are naturally demonic stones about 30 cm in size, and from what I have seen and touched, there is nothing particularly scratched, and I nod small towards Roseus.
Seeing Ray snort, Roseus accidentally exhaled in relief. Somehow, instead of this guild if it disappeared, the city of Emotion itself was in danger of disappearing. Even though I put in a precaution, those who naturally felt that Roseus had the demonic stone that seemed to belong to the Rem Race came out, and there were about a few who tried to get it even at the risk of some danger to just that much product. You could say it was in your interest as an guild to dispose of someone like that. However……
"I've asked each guild for information about the demonic stones that existed in the past, but unfortunately we were unable to obtain any information."
Yes, there was very little information I could get from the Demon Stone at heart.
I originally thought that if I could get some information about the lem race and the monster, I would have borrowed the demon stone from Ray in preparation for danger.
"However, given the purity of the Demon Stone and the concentration of magic included, as I said when I left the Demon Stone with you, there are results with certainty that it is at least a Rank B monster. The magic distribution of demonic stones is also terribly similar to that of Cesar Pent, so I was wondering if it would probably be treated like the top species of Cesar Pent, as Mr. Ray expected. However, it was not possible to find out exactly how many habitats and how many of them existed in the demonic stones and materials alone."
"No, it was pretty much what I expected. If you know anything about lem racing... I got on that suggestion, so don't get so sick."
"But he said he could lend me this magic stone around the corner..."
I guess we regret that our own investigation yielded little information. There is no small remorse in Roseus' expression.
"Well... right, when you get the info that Rem Race showed up somewhere, contact Guild's guild. I don't know if I can move then, but if I can afford it, I'll go get the Demon Stone. By the way, even rare species other than lem lace are welcome."
"Is that okay? That certainly helps as a guild if you can expect someone with as much power as Mr. Ray to have against rare species at times... rare species, right? I'm pretty sure they'll be more powerful enemies than monsters of the same race."
"That's why. You can't usually get a rare demon stone. It would be more than enough for me if I could find out about it."
"... ok. Fortunately, this city of emotions brings ships together from various places. As a result, a lot of information comes in, so it's easier to get information about rare species than other guilds."
Roseus snorts as hard as if to make up for his own impudence. I guess I responded somewhat to the fact that you had deposited your precious demon stone, but you couldn't achieve the results you thought.
"Well, let's just say this is the end of the story, okay?
Roseus nods small to Ray, who asks by storing the demonic stone in his hand inside the mistering.
"Yes, I'm sorry I don't have much information I can get out of here..."
"Never mind. It's bad for Roseus, but if I could get a little information from the beginning, it would have been like making money."
Standing up from his chair, he calls out to encourage him with his hands on Roseus' shoulder.
"Well, the next time you're coming to the guild, it's probably gonna be after Rem Race turns out he won't show up."
"Yes, as a resident of this city, I hope the crusade of the Rem Race proves itself"
With Roseus bowing his head with apologies and gratitude, Ray left the conference room and went down to the ground floor, leaving the guild for a short distance from the city with Seto in order to quickly absorb the demon stone as he received a glance from his surroundings.
A place where Seto flies out of the city of Emosion for about 30 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes because it's Ceto, but if you're a normal adventurer, it's about a day's walk away.
I was told not to stay too far from the city until the Rem Race thing was cleared up, but I still wanted to avoid carrying out an absorption of demon stones near the city, arguably the essence of warcraft, but it was near a small river about 1m wide that currently has one and one that I found looking for a place to return to in at least half an hour.
"Well, no one will ever find the absorption of demon stones here.... Quickly, Seto"
"Gru?"
I look at the demon stone I took out of the mistering and lean my little neck as Seto rattles in the back of my throat.
Can I absorb it myself? and.
Rank B, if you do poorly, you can say that you are almost certain to acquire skills beyond being a Rem Race demon stone that seems comparable to Rank A. Then there's also the option of letting Ray's death size absorb it. Ray smiles small and strokes his head at Seto, who stares at himself that way with his circular eyes.
"I have the magic of fire, and besides Death Size, I can throw spears and stuff. If you think about it, you'd better have more means of attacking Seto. So don't worry, Seto will absorb it."
"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!
Seto rings in gratitude and throws the demonic stone he had towards Seto with a grin on it.
Swallow the demon stone with a couch...
[Seto mastered the skills of 'Optical Camo Lv.1']
A voice I'm already used to hearing echoes into the back of my brain.
"Acquisition of skills was successful...... optical camo?
Ray leans his neck unintentionally on the skill name. Was Seto unexpected in the skills he acquired again, leaning on his little neck just like Ray?
(Indeed, Rem Race had the ability to blend into the surrounding scenery. Not surprising considering that......?
Though thinking on the inside, Ray, who already seemed to be separate from Rem Race's abilities, speaks to Seto more easily than to guide him.
"Seto, come on, but try the optical camo."
"Gru."
Ringing in the back of his throat at at Ray's words, he travels a little further away just in case. And...
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
At that moment when he rang high, he was certainly invisible to Seto. It was transparent in a literal sense.
"This is..."
groaning, proceeding to where Seto was and gently reaching out. What came back to that hand was definitely Seto's smooth hairy touch.
"Seto, are you there?
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto answers Ray's call. Sure, Seto is there, but it was true that only he was invisible.
While I admire how it is, when I try to reach for Seto again, the optical camo is released and Seto appears again.
"Hmm? What's going on?
"Gru."
Seto shaking his head small. Ray, who was watching, comes to think of it.
"Maybe this is the limit where this time can be transparent as it is now?
"Grrrrrrrr"
Correct, Seto ringing his throat as though.
Ray had a flashing look for a moment, but soon remembered that the LV of optical camouflage was still 1, and convinced that it was not impossible.
"Is it roughly 10 seconds that you can be transparent with the effect of optical camo?... a little short, but unlike previous flashy skills, there's something to delude you. And given Seto's power..."
The attack unleashed by Seto, who is originally a griffon and boasts unmatched strength, while equipped with a rigid bracelet, which is also a magic item, is unmatched, so much so that even a rem race about 30 meters long was beaten to the ground when it hit him in the head. Considering that, an optical camouflage that becomes invisible can be described as a skill that is no more than that if you take it from Seto.
"Later... Seto, use the optical camo again"
"Grrrrrr!... Grrrrrrrrrr?
He throats vigorously at Ray's request, but never disappears, and at the next moment he looks around somewhere bewildered.
"Seto?"
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
To Ray's call, Seto shakes his head small. Ray was tilting his neck again when he saw how it was, but he accidentally called out to Seto as if he had come up with something.
"Maybe once you use it, you won't be able to use it for a while?
"Gru."
Ray also reaches out to comfort Ceto with another difficult face to Ceto snort like a soggy.
"Relax, it's a powerful skill, so I can't help but limit it to that extent. If the LV goes up, the area might go away. Now anyway, let's start by knowing exactly how well our skills work."
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto nodding at Ray's words.
In the end, after various investigations, it became clear that once used, it was not reusable for about 30 minutes, and that what Ceto had could be made transparent at the same time, but that Ray, when made transparent together, would be the limit after less than five seconds.
