"Uh, so Mr. Ray's leaving this city tomorrow already?
The daughter of Bihai's Coral Pavilion asks unfortunately Ray.
But Ray nods without hesitation at the words of such an opponent.
"Oh, I've been in this city a little too long. If we stay like this, we're gonna end up in this city."
"Uh, that's not good enough. I don't mind this one at all. Look, I didn't really talk to Mr. Ray."
Even though I told Ray so, it was obvious from the side what he thought the words were if he saw his cheeks dyed red.
Only Ray, the party, shakes his head small without realizing it.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not moving home from the city of Gilm. It's convenient because it's on the edge. Well, it's a shame I barely ran into a monster in the sea in the city of Emotion."
"Then why don't you just extend your stay a little longer instead of base here?
"No, I've been staying here for about a month. I have some business to do over there in a little while."
Naturally, the errand was to head with Elaine to the labyrinth city, which should have been a priority for Ray above all else. But naturally the innkeeper's daughter swells her cheeks dissatisfied.
"What, such a pretty daughter is holding it back and lifting it.... Huh, I don't know anymore. If you like. You can go anywhere in the city of Gilm."
When I say so, I leave from before Ray.
I don't know why I'm so grumpy, I lean my neck, but while I'm wondering if I can leave the counter empty, I notice the Innkeeper general coming this way and exhale in relief.
"Mr. Ray, you know, I'm leaving tomorrow"
"Oh, thanks for taking care of me for a while, but I've cleared up the Rem Race thing, and it's time for the city of Gilm."
"Really... too bad Seto is saying goodbye, but you can't help it. Mr. Ray has also accomplished his request to crusade the Rem Race, and I can't thank him enough. Thank you. Yet in the end your room stays in that corner room...... would you at least stay in a regular room today alone? Of course I don't mind the same as before when it comes to fees. We've cleared up the rem race and we're losing a lot of customers."
Ray was worried about the general's words for a few seconds, but eventually he shook his head small.
"No, it's fine as it is now. I'm used to that room now. There's no reason for me to be in another room now."
"Really? So, at least let me serve you something extravagant for dinner today. You eat dinner at the inn, don't you?
"Oh, I'm going to"
Ray replies to the general as she smiles at herself for already talking about dinner, even though it's only before noon.
It's just that, given Ray's appetite, it's a common story that he's hungry and eating appropriately elsewhere. Even in that case, I usually eat meals served at the inn.
"Anyway, that's what's gonna get me out of the city tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help."
"No, no. We are the ones who are left to take care of Mr. Ray in many ways.... Well, don't hate that kid too much either. Because I think there was something a little admirable about me and someone close to my age doing adventurers and having the strength to defeat the lem race."
"... oh, I see"
The general tells me to finally understand why I was told that way earlier, Ray.
Nod small and then open your mouth towards the general.
"I'm afraid I'm not going to sit here."
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'll follow up with her over here."
"Right, please"
That's all I'm telling you, Ray, leaving the inn.
I have a couple of people who would like to say hello when I leave this city tomorrow, and I wanted to buy as much seafood as I could.
"Whoa, Ray. Hey, what's up? Anything inconvenient happen?
First came the Dwarf blacksmith Ray had made. Hand the dwarf shopkeeper, who speaks out in a good mood when he sees Ray, a smaller barrel of ale that he bought on his way to shake his head small.
"I'm leaving town tomorrow. Say hello to the person you took care of."
"... well, the idea of throwing your cunt and using things like chains and strings to attract the person you stabbed was hilarious, so I was hoping you'd stay a little longer if you could. Forgive me for this booze."
"I didn't think any sea monsters would show up. After all, I'm glad you made it, but I haven't been able to use it once."
"Ma, you're shaggy. Nothing. It's not your fault. One of these days, even if I don't like it, the monsters will come back. As a resident of this city, I honestly don't want monsters to come out. And now fishermen are catching fish like they're going to get their losses back."
"Whatever the lack of a monster, I wonder what a fish or something is normally like"
"Well, you're just gonna have to think that's what Rem Race did.... Oh, yeah. Wait a minute."
Place a barrel with ale, behind the store...... Dwarf heading to the blacksmith. Eventually, when he came back about a few minutes later, he held a barrel with a hug or so.
"It's a corner, so take this with you at last. Extra minutes."
Dwarves to put barrels on the floor. With the sound heard from inside the barrel at that time, Ray intuitively understood what was inside.
"Are you sure? You're not gonna get enough garbage to fill up the barrel in this short time, are you?
"Ha, never mind. I'm not the only one who collected this. They just collected garbage that was no longer available in the city's weapons stores and blacksmiths, so on the contrary, they thanked me for not having trouble handling it."
"... sorry, that helps"
Back to back with a tough looking face, Ray unexpectedly smiles small enough to thank Dwarf for his care.
Reach as you go and store it inside the misting.
"Come back to this city if you feel like it. If you need to take care of the throw, I can do it."
"Oh, bad.... Well, I'll go."
"Oops, I don't think you need to worry because I'm talking about you with enough power to defeat Rem Race, but go home tomorrow."
With that on his back, Ray left the blacksmith.
"Grrrrrrrr"
As he greets Alctus at the stall after leaving the Dwarf blacksmith, Seto, who was walking next to Ray, growls hungry, his throat all the time.
I call out, scratching my head and doing it with a grin on the look of it.
"If you go to the Alctos stall, ask for an okonomiyaki, just wait a little longer"
"Gru......"
Stick your shoulders down to Ray's words and keep walking with your gaze toward the ground.
Of course there are many other stalls around, or restaurants. But Ray still decided to take care of Arctos' stalls if he was going to put them in his belly lightly.
And he keeps walking for about 10 minutes, and eventually the burnt smell of sauce drifts from his surroundings.
Seto, who was walking next to Ray, also raises his face and rings his throat as if he had finally regained his energy to that smell that stirs his appetite to no more.
"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!
Quickly, quickly, and over and over again, he turns to Arctus' stall with a small grin to help Ray himself be hungry.
And what I could see was the sight of more than 20 guests flocking around the stall.
Everyone of them has a look like they can't wait, and it's obvious that it's not like some sort of rubbing. I mean, the people here...
"It's thriving again."
Yes, I guess those are the ones who came looking for Alctos dishes, like Ray said. Originally, Arctos' stalls were famous for serving delicious dishes, and Arctos himself is also the face of the city. The seafood okonomiyaki taught by Ray in those synergies probably gained explosive popularity.
"Grrrrrrrr......"
What are you gonna do? And it was Seto who would lean his little neck and ask, but Ray had no choice but to walk away like this than he was here at the same time saying hello.
"Line up."
"Grrrrrrrr"
Seto snorts throat at Ray's grunt. However, the condition is not as good as before, which makes me feel somewhere depressed.
Even though the aim was to get hungry and taste the seafood okonomiyaki, I guess I was somewhat shocked that if I actually came, people were lined up and still couldn't eat it.
"... do you still want this while we wait?
You just felt sorry for me, Ray takes the dried meat out of the mysteries and gives it away, but Seto refuses to eat it by shaking his head small.
I'll eat okonomiyaki on an empty stomach, even if it's seto, because we've come this far around the corner! I guess I was full of that feeling.
Ray was surprised by the unexpected appearance of Seto, who was honest with his appetite in both good and bad ways, but decided to nod small and wait for the order.
Some people are surprised to see how Seto and Ray are doing, but others don't make any particular noise because they know one and one who are mostly turned into celebrities in the city of Emosion in many ways... No, wait for their turn to come around as the guests near Seto gently stroke and kill their time.
It is possible to bake more than just okonomiyaki at the same time. For this reason, the number of guests with as many as 20 gradually decreased, and eventually the order of the lay turned without waiting as long as possible.
"Hmm? Oh, Ray. And Seto."
"You seem to be in fashion for a long time. I've sold okonomiyaki in other stalls, but I've never seen anyone line up like this before."
"Grrrrrrrr"
Seto ringing to remind Ray's voice.
While watching, ask for a quick okonomiyaki when the public talks later.
"I just wanted to say that four..."
When we look behind us, we see new guests lined up just as much as we moved forward, and the length of the line hasn't changed as a result.
"It's a little bad for us to eat alone. Normally in two."
"Ooh, there you go. Watch out, it's freshly baked and hot."
Along with that voice, the okonomiyaki and fork placed on the plate are offered.
By the way, a few people hired as dishwashers were seen desperately washing dishes, such as plates and forks, a short distance from the stall.
"See you soon. This is for Seto."
"Grrrrrrrr!"
Quick, quick, move to a little further away with Seto ringing in a hurry and place the dish on the ground, Seto poking the okonomiyaki with a couch just waiting.
Watching how it goes, Ray also cuts the okonomiyaki on a plate with a fork into bite sizes and transports it to his mouth...... unexpectedly opens his eyes.
"This is..."
It hasn't been long since Ray taught Alctus the dish called Okonomiyaki. Yet the okonomiyaki that Ray had eaten was so different that it could already be said that it was different from before.
Of course, the flavor has not faded, but is becoming more delicious. The exterior has a crisper texture, and the taste of seafood is still packed in the fluffy texture inside. At the same time, the taste of fish and shrimp spreads across the mouth, leaving the bite and sweetness of minced Kiberk vegetables.
(... different stock?
When Ray taught me, I used chicken stock to melt the flour, but the okonomiyaki I'm eating now seemed more like a flavor using seafood stock that Ray himself knew better than what I ate at that time. At the same time, I can see that the flavour of the rather dark stock is staining the dough.
"Delicious"
Swallow the first bite, Ray turning his surprise gaze toward Alctus.
With such Ray's astonishing gaze on him, Alctus grills his okonomiyaki, while nearby nets make a manly grin as he repeatedly pulls ingredients like fish, shellfish, and shrimp.
"Even if I look like this, I'm a cook. The dish you taught me was definitely highly complete, but there were many improvements. This okonomiyaki is the result of sticking it up to me.... Well, thanks to you, okonomiyaki is now the main store."
While you tell them to complain, they'll be happy to make their guests happy with their dishes. Bring the shrimp that was cooked on the net straight to Ray's plate.
"Thanks to you, I made a dish that could be a specialty of this city. Eat this."
"Oh, oh."
I guess I've seen Ray's dining landscape several times before and knew he likes shrimp. And put a large fish on Seto's plate, which had already eaten up okonomiyaki with that big couch.
"Ever since you came to this city, I've had a lot of luck. Rem Lace Ri, Seafood Okonomiyaki Ri. This city was unthinkable a while ago. And whoever lives in this city is grateful to you."
Ray has another small look of surprise at those words as if he knew Ray was about to leave this city tomorrow.
"Well, if you've been stalling in this city for years, you'll probably know what you're trying to say with his complexion. Especially since you're pretty easy to understand.... Anyway, if you get a chance, you can come back for work or play. I'll make sure the okonomiyaki tastes better by then."
"... oh"
"Gru."
Ray and Seto nod small to Alctus' clumsy but tender caged care.
Thus, his last day in the city of Emosion was lively but enjoyable, and he went by to entertain one person and one tongue.
