Legend

"Then you're not coming back to see me! And Seto!

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray rides to the carriage that was stopped in front of the Quento family mansion and Marka speaks to Seto, who is standing nearby.

The expression was not of a magical genius, or of a duke's maid, but of a seven-year-old girl.

"Oh, I'll come back to see you. Let me eat something delicious then."

"Um, I'll take care of it. My concubine lost a dish like okonomiyaki this time, but next time, let Ray eat a dish he doesn't even know!

As someone to be taken to the Duke's house, I can't stand it without being surprised that Ray had a dish I don't know about. The next time I see you, I'll definitely show you! Koan, who was riding into the carriage with Ray, smiles small at Marka, who strains his chest all the time.

The grin was not a sticky grin constantly floating in Koan's mouth, but a grin floated from the bottom of his heart.

(It's still necessary to be a friend. Especially the lady is smart for her age...... no, she's too smart. That's why no one has ever been able to get along intimately... but it didn't serve the purpose of taking him in, but even then it was worth it to come to the city of Gilm until I risked it)

Exhaling with relief in his heart, Koan calls out from his carriage window to his own Lord.

"Okay, lady. I'll take Ray and Seto to the inn."

"Yeah? Isn't that a guild?

"That's what I thought at first..."

He told him so, turning his gaze to Ray, who was sitting across the street with Chirali, but under such a koan gaze, Ray was looking up at the sky, which was small and shouldered before becoming reddened by the sunset.

"As you can see, it's evening. In that case, even the guilders will come back to clear the request and be busy with the process. As for the Alliance Master, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Mm-hmm? Could it be because my mistress called?

"Sure, there is, but when I went to the guild in the first place, I didn't see the guild master. It wouldn't have changed much."

"Well, I hope so...... see you later!

Finally, the carriage walked out of the Duke of Quent's mansion.

"Thank you, Ray, for today. It's been a long time since I've seen a lady so happy."

"Well, if you say so, it's worth it for me to be here."

"It would have been more interesting if I could have been a colleague with Mr. Ray. I didn't think you'd like Seto that much."

Coran mutters as he checks out the window to see Seto walking next to the carriage.

"I've been invited a lot before, but I've turned it all down. Well, I thought it might be a bad idea to work with you if you're the other guy... but anyway, if you're temporarily hired as an adventurer, I'm a little unwilling to be officially hired."

"I guess. Ever since I gathered information about Mr. Ray in this city, I thought that would be half the case. Still, I gambled my hopes on this one... well, it would be nice if you just made a friendship with your daughter."

"By the way, he said the Duke of Quent or something... what's going on with the faction or something?

"You're a king."

Koan answers Ray's question lightly.

There's nothing in particular to hide, and I guess you thought you should say it out of your own mouth, more than that it's something you should find out soon if you do some research on it.

And in fact, the choice was also the right one.

"Kings, huh?"

The Kings in the Rays only remember being pulled off their feet in the war against the Bestian Empire. Of course I knew that the vast majority of the nobles in all sorts of problems came out in the last war, and that was why I had such a strong impression.

"Haha. Well, you know, for Mr. Ray, there's a lot to think about."

"Right.... but why did Koan want to serve Marca? As far as your interactions are concerned, it seemed more windy to me that I was serving Marka personally than I was serving the Duke of Quent's house."

"Right. That's for sure. Because I'm a lady, I wanted to serve."

"Still on a 7-year-old?

"It may be uncomfortable from the side… but it's also true that the lady saved me"

Ray didn't feel a lie in Koan's words telling him that.

"Can I ask you what happened?

"Right, it's not an interesting story to hear... is that okay?

"Oh."

There was such a strong relationship of trust between Marca and Koan that we could tell from Ray's point of view. Former Rank A Adventurer, a 7-year-old child who would not be strange to describe as Superman if he tried to be someone in this world. It was very interesting to see what would happen if those two were to have a relationship like the one they are now.

(No, from what I'm talking about, these two met yesterday, not like today. In that case, Marka's age should have been lower than it is now)

Koan opens his mouth without even looking like he cared about the inside of Ray like that.

"I think the lady said at the game that I used to be a Rank A Adventurer, but the party I belonged to was also a Rank A party."

"Well, is it a Rank A party? All I know is thunder god's axe..."

"Oh, they're famous in many ways, aren't they? Besides, I'm just partying with my family and we're good friends.... but unfortunately, the party I was having wasn't that friendly. No, I'd rather say I was sorry. Anyway, it was a party that was totally meant to be."

Ray gives such a self-derisive koan a surprised look, like laughing at his own stupidity.

Because from Ray's eyes, the person named Koan looked one way or another like a good character of a person.

"I really needed money back then.... it's also not a bit or softly forehead, that's the amount of money that even Rank A Adventurers get"

"... Kim?

"Yep. My sister... got a bit of a difficult disease. In order to treat it, I needed medicines with a few rare ingredients. That's why I got on with the money-making story of making money quickly and belonged to the party I intended to connect to. Thanks to this, the money was saved well, and at the time I was about to reach the amount needed to complete the medicine... I was betrayed by everyone at the party. No, I guess betrayal is inaccurate in this case. Like I said now, it's a party that was originally meant to be connected. It's not a strange story for the other side to make the choice of killing me and taking away the money I was saving, rather than throwing me out as I was, than saying at the end of the day that I would get out of that job."

Exhale small and shake your neck left or right.

As if to show Ray his own stupidity.

"Anyway, at the end of the day I was on the verge of dying being set up by them. Still, it's good to have left my sister to die fighting crazily to death and paying them all back...... somehow, they are also Rank A and Rank B adventurers. It couldn't have been unharmed... No, Ning Ro was dying. The carriage of a lady walking down the street half her life trying to get back to the whole city happened to pass by and I was to be saved my life by the magic of my lady's recovery. And then, with the help of her daughter, she introduced me to an amazing alchemist, and she made me medicine to cure my sister's illness."

Koan talks about meeting Marca with a childish expression that shows her own treasure softly.

"I see you're going to serve Marca on that edge."

"Yes. You saved my own life. Thank you, too, for saving my sister's life. And above all, because I myself fell in love with the size of the lady's vessel. How far does the lady go and how much does she make up? He wants to see it with his own eyes."

"... it's amazing how much you fall in love"

If you bend it inside, is it Loricon? I just don't read the air and talk about it. Or if I had spoken of it, the second act of the battle that was taking place in the yard of the Duke of Quent's house would have taken place… it would also have taken place without any formalities or anything like that.

"Well, that's why I'm so sorry Mr. Ray didn't become my colleague.... Still, as long as you're happy because you made friendships with your lady. Honestly, the lady is highly capable in many ways...... no, she is too expensive to talk to the sons of aristocrats her age. I said," I don't like it when younger people like you say I'm going to be the kids above that, and I don't want to come close. Because when you're right, you're extremely old away. "

If we're having a conversation like that, eventually the carriage stops moving.

While listening to Koan's past, the carriage continued and arrived in front of the wheat pavilion at dusk, where Ray was staying.

"Whoa, you've apparently arrived already. I'm sorry you kept talking about me. … well, what am I supposed to say about this, but please keep up with the lady"

Deeply bowing his head to Koan, Ray nods without changing his expression in particular.

"We've become friends, so don't imitate that. Marca wouldn't want you to get along with me until I made you imitate that."

"... right. It was definitely my lead."

Koan smiles bitterly at Ray's words and leaves the carriage door open and goes outside.

"Here you go."

"Oh, you've taken care of me"

A small greeting to Koan, Ray went straight into the inn in front of him where he even felt nostalgic with Seto.

Dropping it off, Koan also takes the carriage back to the mansion. With pleasure that the person who became my dear lady's friend was the same personality I expected.

If Ray was trying to use Marka for some plot... at that time, he would probably have stopped Ray even if Corn replaced his life.

(Most of all, I honestly don't think we can fight normally and beat him. If I were to do it, I would have had to surprise you.)

Only one blade crossed directly in a battle in the yard of the Duke of Quent's house. But given the rush in front of it and the power I felt when I tied Death Size to Slash, it was easy to predict that pure combat power was above my former Rank A adventurer.

(That means it's rank C as it stands, so it's a lot weird, isn't it? Most importantly, I guess it's no surprise in a way, considering that you'll need something other than combat to be above Rank B)

Koan muttered inside, riding his carriage back to the Duke of Quent's house.

"Oh, welcome home. You've been away a long time this time."

"A little to the city of Emotion.... How long have you been paying for your current inn?

A middle-aged, well-width woman who welcomed Ray, it was Lana, who was also the general of this evening's wheat pavilion.

Such Lana smiles and opens her mouth after glancing at the documents on the counter.

"If it's the amount you're getting in advance, you'll have a full cup this month. What will you do?

"Right, then this will take a while. Let me know when the inn's due again."

Tell him so, and place about 3 white gold coins removed from the mistering on the counter.

Lana, who saw it, wasn't so disturbed just by the fact that she was a luxury inn general in the city of Gilm, but still turns her gaze to Ray with a surprised look on her face.

"Well, that's a lot of luxury. How'd it go this time around?

"Well, I'm pretty sure it was a lot of unexpected things, but still, in the end, I'd say it was profitable"

I nod small remembering the immense sea delights that are inside the mysteries, or the things that cooked them.

If Ray's purpose is to make money, there's enough money to build a fortune out of seafood.

"That's above all. But as far as I'm concerned, Ray came back safely."

Unexpectedly, Lana smiles and tells him so. She smiles small in the hood, and takes out five relatively large fish about 30 cm in length from the mysteries as if to mislead them and passes them to Lana.

"It's a souvenir of emotion. It's a fish from the sea, so it's relatively bigger than the fish around here, but you can also salt it and eat it."

"Well, well, it's definitely big. Thank you. I don't mean to thank you, but I will serve you today's meal. We can't refund Mr. Ray's rates while he's gone, but we'll give them back to him at the meal."

He grinned and turned to the kitchen to save the fish quickly.

On this day, Ray will have a full taste of the evening wheat pavilion dishes he hasn't eaten in a long time.
