Legend

I greeted Lenora and Kenny on their return and kept talking for about 20 minutes. It was Kenny I didn't think we talked enough about yet, but whoever blocks it shows up.
"I'm sorry, can I borrow Mr. Ray?
It was a light warrior-inspired man who spoke so loudly to the three people he was talking to. However, Lenora and Kenny, who work as receptionists in the guild, are opponents they have never seen before.
It's not like I remember all the faces of adventurers using the guild of the city of Guild, which is said to be the real world of adventurers, but it's still not enough to forget the faces of people with the kind of presence in front of them. Hence, Kenny tilts his neck without knowing who the person in front of him is.
That was the same with Lenora, but still being polite as a receptionist would still be due to her serious personality.
"Oops, I'm sorry. I am Coran, and I am one who serves some. While you were talking to Mr. Ray, I got you ready."
"... I see"
With that word alone, two people understand what kind of person you named Coran.
Anyway, it is a famous story that nobles and their hands are now gathered in the city of Gilm. That too, looking for Ray in front of the two of us.
"I mean, Ray, what are you gonna do?
"Well, it's true I promised you in advance, and I'm just gonna go"
"... right? Then be careful. I'm fine now, but until a little while ago, there was a lot of noise."
Kenny tells them otherwise because of these people.
Even for Koan, who came this far with Ray, I knew that those who came to the city of Gilm for the same purpose as ourselves were causing unscrupulous disturbances. That's why I couldn't argue with Kenny. But still...
"But those who caused the disturbance were already expelled from the city, and now they're already sedated?
Koan opens his mouth, just wanting him to stop at least being identified with such people by his own master.
Is that what Kenny knew, and he nodded without saying anything more?
In fact, most of those banished from the city were those who did not intend to draw Ray under themselves in a legitimate way, and as a result Egg and Marina moved behind them and were banished, so they came true to the two glasses at a time when they were currently allowed to remain in the city - precisely, recognized as the person to negotiate with Ray - a person.
Most of them do not know it.
"I promised you before you came to the guild. As far as I'm concerned. Even when it comes to Ceto?
"Yes, because the Lord wants me to bring him with me if I can,"
To Koan's words, isn't it the royalist nobility up there? and think for a moment Ray.
Anyway, when I was called by the royalist nobles in the war against the Bestian Empire, they told me to stop taking Seto with them because they wanted me to come as a messenger.
But soon I recall that the royalist nobles who were driven out in that war had many problems.
(Ma, we'll have to actually see each other in the end)
He concludes so in his heart and turns to Lenora and Kenny.
"So it's time for me to excuse myself. When the Alliance Master returns, I want you to tell me I was back. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Mmmm... hey, Ray, you. You want to see the Alliance Master so badly?
He was Kenny with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face, but soon opened his mouth as Lenora, who was next to him, shrugged.
"Um... a request from the Alliance Master... or I headed to the city of Emosion with information, so it's natural to report it when you get back. Don't say anything stupid, I'll do my job. I'm not busy right now, but I have a lot to do."
"Okay. All right... at all. Corner, Ray, you're back, so I wanted to spend some time with you."
"Yes, yes, make that a day off from work"
It was Ray who felt strongly that he was back, watching the two of us start our usual exchanges that way.
"Well, why don't we just keep the carriage waiting on the table?"
"Oh."
Going outside the guild to be led by Koan, there was certainly a carriage waiting for him there.
However, that carriage is not a luxurious carriage used by a nobleman, as Ray had expected, but rather one that should be described as a qualitatively rigid one.
Of course, the materials used are expensive.
"... heh"
Watching that carriage raises one liking for a nobleman you haven't seen yet in the rays.
A flashly decorated carriage would not be bad for a nobleman, but as for Ray himself, I didn't really want to shy away from riding such a bad hobby carriage.
... Although Ray himself stands out far more than the carriage, such as being able to follow a ceto, have a death size, or have an item box.
"Here you go."
Koan opens the carriage door with his own hands and guides Ray.
Seto, let's go.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Stand up from where Seto was falling asleep, sounding briefly in the voice hung before boarding the carriage.
The children who were playing with Seto raise their voices that seemed unfortunate, but they still understood who Seto's number one was, or left with a small wave of hands.
The carriage departing the guild will naturally aim for the aristocratic district.
The horse pulling the carriage was threatening Seto walking next to them, but I guess it's because his arm is good that there's nothing rampant about it.
"So, I think it's time you told me who wants to see me?
"I'm sorry. The Lord says things should come as a surprise."
"I'm not surprised."
Indeed, surprise will make a strong memory of the other person's impression. But that, on the contrary, would mean that if the first impression were to surprise you in a bad state, that bad impression would also remain strong. If you understand that and don't let Ray know who you are...
(You mean the guy who's so confident in himself?
While his neck is so inclined in the heart, the carriage proceeds and reaches the entrance to the aristocratic city.
What surprised me at that time was that the gatekeepers at the entrance to the aristocratic city showed their faces only lightly, especially when they were passed through without being told anything.
It would have required some questioning and ID posting, but the absence of any such action was a testament to the fact that the owner of this carriage was a person of considerable power in the aristocratic district.
(When it comes to boasting so much power in Gilm, a neutral city, is it a neutral nobleman after all? If you're a king or a nobleman, you'll mean a big man for the rest of your life... but would such a big man bother to come all the way to the border? I don't think the risk and the return are commensurate with how much you want to capture my power. Or... a big nobleman with enough strength to do everything about them? Well, it does seem like it from what I see as a face pass)
The carriage that entered the aristocratic city even while I was thinking on the inside continues, and eventually the movement stops.
"Well, I see you've arrived safely. Okay, go ahead. The Lord is waiting for you."
Koan opens the carriage door with a small grin and guides Ray through it.
What Ray saw when he got out of the carriage, while convinced in a way, was also, in a way, a sight that should give him a surprise look.
A place among the aristocratic neighborhoods that could be described as first class. That mansion, which also exhibits an international presence compared to the mansions present around it, was clearly heterogeneous. The outside gate of the mansion has already passed by in a carriage, and only a huge door leading to the mansion's entrance hall is in front of it.
"This mansion?
"Yes, my Lord awaits you inside"
Had Ray had detailed knowledge of the nobility, he would have understood whose mansion was in front of him. It is a noble mansion so famous in the Kingdom of Mireana. That is, the royalist town, the house of the Duke of Quent.
"... for once, I am not familiar with courtesy towards nobility. If you're worried about the area, I suggest you don't see me now?
I don't want to make a weird noise here and annoy Dusker or the marina. It was a word put out in his mouth with that thought, but the words returned from Koan's mouth were unexpected for Ray.
"I don't mind. My Lord does not like to be patient. One way or another......"
Boom!
At the time Coran tried to say something more, an unnaturally strong gust of wind blew from the mansion.
"All the while, apparently you're telling me to bring him in straight away without telling him anything extra.... That's why you don't have to worry so much about the manipulation or anything. However, please don't be rude to imitate them because they are rude."
"... that sounds like an extra weirdo. Okay, if that's what you want me to say, let me go. What about Seto? I'll let you wait around the yard, if you like."
Chirali, and Ray, who turns his gaze toward the mansion's garden.
Despite being in the aristocratic district, the garden is quite large. That is so much so that it is not strange that one or so other noble mansion is built.
I don't care much about the cold or the heat. If you say you like it in this garden, you'll be sleeping and waiting.
It was Ray who spoke with that thought, but once again, that prediction would come off.
"No, its griffon...... they say Seto doesn't mind going inside the mansion either"
"Heh. That's a lot of Hao Yi."
Never before had I been removed from my expectations, and still there was a grin in Sang Ray's mouth.
It is obvious that the earlier breeze was caused by magic, which means that even if Ceto, the Griffon, attacked me, I found that I was confident that I could do something with just myself or Koan.
"Here you go."
Whimpering, Koan opens the door with his own hand and leads him to the entrance hall.
Inside that open door, I greeted Ray, who entered with Seto...
"Um, you've had a hard time! Well done, Koan!
Even compared to Ray, who is smaller than the average height in this world, he is still small. That was the appearance of a girl of less than 10 years of age who was only about the size of her chest.
He has a full smile on his mouth, his eyes shining and his gaze toward Ray and Seto.
"... koan?
Ray turns his gaze to Koan in the sense of confirmation, but the person in question was sending a merciful gaze to the girl slowly approaching Seto.
"Whew, Lord. Why don't you let me stroke you a little?
"Gru."
Even if the girl in front of you talks to me with a curious eye, just because she is originally a child lover, she gently stretches her head out and rubs it against her face without doing anything in particular to refuse.
"Haha, haha. Behold, Koan. I miss him."
"Right. I'm glad your daughter is here... but I don't know if I'd like to leave Ray alone as the son of the Quent family."
"Mm, that certainly is. Um, is that Ray the Lord calls Deep Red? The concubine is Marca Quento. Who will be the next Duke of Quent. Let's see."
"... koan?
Ray assumed it was a dignified nobleman who would show up. Or I thought it was that nobleman's child or something in front of me... no, it's not wrong to be that nobleman's child. But at the same time, it was the girl in front of me who was trying to draw Ray into my side.
So, what's wrong? Koan opens his mouth with a small grin in Ray's gaze.
"Dear Marca Quento, As my master, I'm sure you invited Mr. Ray this time."
"Uhm! Your lord is not Ray. Sure seems to have enough magic to give it an alias. Brilliant!"
Ray opens his eyes small to Marca's words as he tells him that as he strokes Seto's head.
Words now undoubtedly indicate that the girl in front of her feels the magic that Ray is living in. But it still shows the same attitude.
There have never been more than a few who had the ability to sense the magic of Ray. But almost all of them were terrified of Ray's immense magic. Those who did not change their attitudes, that was all they could count. The girl in front of Ray is even smiling and turning her gaze to Ray.
(Given the magic that caused the storm earlier, there would be no ignorance of magic. Big guy when it comes to that, huh?
From the way he's stroking Seto's head, he just looks like a normal kid, no matter how he looks. But still, something like certainty had arisen in Ray that he should not imitate the girl in front of him.
"Whew, Ray. Lord and Seto... would you like to come under the concubine? The concubine... more precisely, the Duke of Quent desires the power of your Lord."
While stroking Seto's head, Marka's eyes, telling Ray so, existed in such a deep colour that they did not seem very much to belong to the girl.
