Legend

Ray wakes up in bed and wakes up his torso as the sun falls through the window.

"Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?

He looks around a few times wondering as he is, frowning in surprise that the majority of the corner rooms of about three tatami are not filled with beds, and finally realizes that his place is not the coral pavilion of the Bihai where he was staying in the city of Emosion.

"Well, if you say so, you're back in the city of Gilm."

I groan, stretch out and look around at the wheat pavilion room at dusk where I can even think I already miss it.

That said, there's no such thing as personal belongings around. If you stay in an inn for a long period of time, there will be more personal effects, but in Ray's case, because most of the personal effects are in the mysteries, only the smallest amount of items in the room are really needed.

Get up close, put on your Slapenil shoes, wrap your dragon robe around and be ready.

"Well, you're a guild after breakfast"

He shrugged and left the room for breakfast in the dining room on the first floor.

"... Was it a little too soon?

Ray, who entered the guild, whines as he sees the adventurers in the guild.

Having finished his breakfast at the inn, Ray made his way with Seto to the guild as usual, and along the way he also arrived at the guild, which, as usual, was his destination with all sorts of buying and eating in the stalls.

But for the first time in a while, the Morning Alliance had more people than Ray expected.

(No, isn't it? You just feel that way because you haven't been back in the city of Gilm in a while?

Ray leaned his neck on the inside, but now the receptionists, including Lenora and Kenny, are busy with the adventurers. As far as that goes, I will decide that I should put some more time aside before I speak up, and I will look at the requisition posted on the requisition board because there is nothing to do for now.

(Crusade, escort, collect. There's a lot going on around here. Anything else... Hmm?

At that time, I look at the requisition affixed to the Rank D requisition board and open my eyes small.

The requisition that was there was for the guard's training opponent.

(Who are the trainees... why again? Isn't that enough for the guards?

A good look at the requisition as he tilts his neck means that what he hopes for the adventurer is the role of bandit.

Finally, I suppose you're assuming a diagram of the battle between bandits and guards who have attacked the city.

"... I see that sounds kinda funny"

"No, please stop. Ray, if someone out of standard like you joins that request, the guards will lose."

I heard that voice coming from behind me, and when I turned to you, there was a tough looking man there.

"What's the captain of the guard doing here?

"I had a meeting about various things and the request. Yeah, even as a guard, I didn't think Ray would get a request more like you..."

"No, I'm not going to take any other requests. Now I'm simply killing time. Look, there's a lot going on over there."

Ray turns his gaze toward the counter as he answers to Langa.

There are still quite a few adventurers lined up there, and I see Lenora and Kenny looking busy with those responses.

"Is this about coming home yesterday? That's a long way too late."

"No, I came yesterday without the Alliance Master."

"Heh.... with that said, Ray, a lot of different people are coming to the city of Gilm to see you, have they met?

To that word, the figure of Marca and Koan, who became friends yesterday with the back of their brains, passes.

But only those two men Ray met, and no one else has come into contact with them.

To be precise, it had become a sort of deterrent that Marca and Ray, who were also Duke of Quent's family warrants the day before, had met. To say no to that invitation from the Duke of Quent, we feel so...

Of course that's not all those who give up, but since the corner rays have returned to the city of Gilm, it was true that many are now looking to gather some information and negotiate in their favor.

Happy or unhappy, Ray, unaware of it, had decided that his opponent, while feeling his gaze, would probably shy away from the Duke of Quent's house.

"No, you haven't seen him. Well, you have a lot of ideas over there. More than that, did anything interesting happen in the city while I was gone?

"Interesting... well, there were a lot of fine disturbances, but there wasn't much like this."

Of course there were disturbances about those who wanted to welcome Ray as a subordinate and those who wanted to use hindsight means, or intentionally try to draw concessions in hostility with Ray, but that was only the result of what should be called a cry, and even if it was a langa, I knew it in my duties as captain, but I didn't bother to imitate it in my mouth.

Before he was captain of the Guard, Langa was a resident of the city of Gilm, and that's why he had a good understanding of what a strong man like Ray meant in this peripheral land.

"Than that... isn't it time?

Chirali, and Ray turns his gaze to you again, to Langa, who grunts as he looks at the counter.

Sure, there's still a few adventurers on the counter and Kenny's dealing with adventurers, but fortunately there's nobody at Lenora's place.

I guess it shows the popularity of the receptionist as it is around here. Of course, Lenora is also popular, but some people still don't like it because she has a somewhat stiff personality, whereas Kenny has a light personality... No, because she's seen like that, the popularity from adventurers is higher than Lenora's.

"Well, then I'll be excused around here. Good luck with the guards."

Waving small, Ray breaks up with Langa and heads to the counter.

Heading there is naturally Lenora's place where no one is dealing with her right now.

That's just not what I'm free to say or to Lenora. Because I still have work to do, such as organizing and confirming the documents that received the request.

Still, I spoke to Lenora, probably because only two of the receptionists at the counter, Lenora and Kenny, are still close to Ray.

"Lenora, can we meet with the Alliance Master?

"Ah, Mr. Ray. Yes, we talked through it yesterday, so it's okay. Fortunately, now the Guildmaster is in the office, and when Mr. Ray arrives, he tells me to let him pass unconditionally. Go ahead."

Lenora will guide you and Ray into the interior of the counter.

In front of Kenny, who looks resentfully at Lenora like that, a man in his 20s adventurer managed to try his best to invite Kenny to dinner... but this man, who had just recently come to the city of Gilm, didn't know Kenny had a crush on Ray and in a way was wasting his efforts.

(Absolutely, you should just go to the request because you need to dictate, right? I didn't have time to make contact with you because of you Ray...)

While I feel that way in my heart, I continue to receive invitations from men without being able to put it in my mouth as a receptionist.

Or maybe I should have said no clearly, but the man didn't do his best to invite me forcefully, he couldn't imitate anything more like that than he was inviting me only gently, and he made me solicit envy for Lenora as he passed by.

"Alliance Master, I've brought Mr. Ray"

Even as he receives a close glance at Kenny's jealousy, he deliberately ignores whether there has been excessive resentment for his daily body stories and goes upstairs from the back of the counter, knocking on Marina's office, which is also the guild master.

"It's open, come in."

Lenora opens the door to a reply from inside and goes inside with Ray.

In the room, the marina is writing some sort of paperwork towards the desk, and when she sees two people, Lenora and Ray, just for a moment, she opens her mouth again with a gaze at the paperwork.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to wait a little longer before I finish cleaning up this paperwork. Lenora, tea for Ray with the tools there."

"Yes."

Ray lowers his back to the couch as Marina says, and Lenora makes tea using the tools that were placed near the table.

Pods with hot water were a type of magic item and had the effect of keeping the perfect temperature for making tea. It's not even common, but if you're a little wealthy, it's also a price that makes it possible to buy it. Most importantly, it can be used for several months with a demonic stone of about goblin for performance to the extent of keeping hot water warm. However, when the effect of the demon stone expires, I have to reintroduce the new demon stone.

"Go ahead, Mr. Ray"

One sip of tea in a cup gently served and a small and surprising look at its deliciousness.

"This tea leaf is basically the only thing in circulation in Wangdu."

I smiled small and told him so, and when I brewed the tea for the marina, I left the office as I was.

Dropping off behind it, Ray slowly carries the tea to his mouth.

Inside the room only the sound of Marina writing the paperwork sounded...... eventually after about 5 minutes it finally ended.

"Have I kept you waiting for a while?... Well, I'm sorry you came like this, but most of the time, you've been contacted by the guild of the city of Emotion. But I also wanted to hear a report directly from Ray's mouth for once... and Ray came with that intent, didn't he?

As usual, his chest and back are flashly open, and he sits on the couch across from Ray with his evening dress as if to show off his glossy brown skin, telling him so.

Putting your feet together at that time was a sight that, from the side, only seemed to invite Ray.

Ray was about to be blinded by the look of such a marina, but he opens his mouth quickly, turning away.

"Oh. Reportedly, we took him down safely when it came to the rem race. Marina was right. It was just fine in the sense of vacation. Regardless of the rem lace, I was able to buy a lot of seafood, and I was able to eat something satisfactory about the food."

"Oh, I heard that, didn't I? You spread a dish called okonomiyaki over there? Say udon, say okonomiyaki, and Ray won't know if he's an adventurer or a cook."

Ray also smiles again at the grinning marina. However, the grin was bitter.

"I knew it by chance. Most of all, all I know is what I read in the book, and when I actually made things, I didn't have enough ingredients."

"Well, I can't help that.... Well, let me get to the point anyway. We used magic items to defeat the Rem Race, forcing them to transfer from the bottom of the ocean to the ground. Right?

Unexpectedly breathtaking Ray into the marina peeking in as if he could spot it to the bottom of his heart.

But still, there's no way I can tell you just gave Rich's Grimm a hand, and he nods small with care not to put the upset on his face.

"Oh, you're right"

"Heh.... I've never heard of such a powerful magic item, coming adventurers in years or even playing guild master in this city of guilds"

"... because it's a magic item I got in the dungeon. If you think about it, there's no need for Marina to know."

"Dungeon, hey. I think Ray went to the dungeon only when he went out as an escort to General Princess. Maybe that's when you got it?

"Oh, right. I definitely got it then."

Ray's words were not a complete lie, as there is no doubt that it was obtained when he dived into the dungeon with Elaine regarding the magic items to keep in touch with Grimm, at least.

But at the same time, it's not exactly a word...

"Lies."

There was no way I could fool a marina who had spent years as an adventurer or guild master.

With those words, the marina turns her gaze to Ray.

Even if you lay it, you can't possibly speak the truth and take that gaze in silence.

Keep each other quiet for a few minutes. When a harsh atmosphere began to drift inside the office...

"Oh, good. One or two secrets are natural for adventurers.... but okay? If that starts damaging the city of this guilm or the kingdom of Mireana...... I will be stuck in front of Ray"

Even though I told him so, I understood that if that happened, I had no chance of winning.

But still... I couldn't be more hesitant to do my job than in the position of Alliance Master.

"Oh."

I guess I understood that, even for Ray. Marina's, until just a moment ago, nods small as she takes that gaze at herself with her eyes that glowed bewilderingly straight.

"Well, that's fine. I don't think Ray would do anything to the detriment of this city."

Where did the serious look go a few seconds ago, the marina again gives off a glossy vibe and reassembles her legs.

Brown, well-fleshed, seductive thighs are exposed to about half the time, trying to attract Ray's gaze, but I guess it's because of years of experience that he's still unable to see his underwear.

He grins at Ray, who is blushing his thin cheeks, and opens his mouth.

"So, Ray. What about the Rank Up exam to Rank B..."

Let's get to the bottom of this for Marina and Ray.
