Legend

"... in my spare time"

Marca squeaks in the carriage.

At the end of that gaze was Ray's view of what was going on around him through the window.

Of course, most monsters don't come out with their hands even when the carriage is off the street, more than Seto is alert around the carriage.

Occasionally, some monsters and animals attack without understanding the difference in power, but such people end the raw life lightly with a blow to the forefoot waved by Seto, and they subside in Seto's stomach.

"I don't care if they say I'm free. What do you ask now in the first place, why bother taking the rank-up exam with both the Duke's Lady? It is also in the city of Gilm, ruled by the Neutral Dusker by the royal nobility"

"Mm-hmm? Well, the concubine and Coran originally came to this city to determine who your Lord is. I told him to draw me into the Duke of Quent's house if he could, but even if that's not possible, I want to know who he is. That's not part of it."

Marca explains with a grin that she was happy to deal with Ray.

Sitting next to it, Koan listens to the exchange between the two with the same grin on his mouth as if he were happy that his lord, Marca, was happy.

"As for that, didn't it end when I went to your mansion for once?

"Sure, but there's no way we're gonna be able to figure it all out just because we met once?

"... in the case of the lady, there's also a reason I miss Ray and Seto so much that we could be friends around the corner."

Marka's cheeks are dyed red with lighting on Koan's dialogue, whispered casually.

"Co, Co, Co, Coan! Lord, suddenly what!

"Was it extra?

"Heh, heh. Well, it's not true that I wanted to deal with Ray and Seto a little more. Nor is it stingy to admit about it. All right, then? Though I screwed hard on the rank-up exam at the convenience of my concubine... No, that's why concubines make Ray's standards tougher than others. Just because you have a concubine and a friendship doesn't mean you can accommodate me."

Marka sticks her chest up as she sits in the carriage seat, poking her finger at her.

From the side, the look was such that I could describe it as adorable, but no one here would bother to speak of it.

"Besides, it's true that the monster actually called Problem Bicone is a lot of trouble. Even if the city of Gilm is a stronghold of neutralism, it is no substitute for being the only borderline city present in the Kingdom of Mireana. Even without factions, it's true that there are problems with materials that can only be removed at the border."

"Right. The city of Gilm is one of the most important sites in the kingdom of Mireana. Because it's a place like that, my father built a mansion for when something happened."

"... I see"

Ray nods with such expressions as convinced by Coran and Marka's explanation.

"I wondered why there was a royalist Duke of Quent house mansion in the city of Gilm, and that's why?...... hmm? Then why isn't there a house in the Duke of Keller's house?

I ask, remembering when Elaine used to come to the city of Gilm.

At that time, Elaine was staying in the Lords' Hall. If there were a mansion of the Duke of Kelp in the aristocratic district... or the mansions of those who were with him like Ara, he would have stayed there.

But the only answer to that question was the figure of Marka shaking his neck small and sideways.

"There will be a few leading men in the aristocracy who have a mansion, but it's not like everyone has to have a mansion. To the extent of gathering information, I guess I decided that other aristocratic mansions were enough, even without the Duke of Kelp's own mansion.... oh. That's Seto. We've got another one approaching. We've got a target."

Marka gives a joyous voice to Seto's activity as he explains to Ray.

At the age of 7, he has a view as an aristocrat, and at the same time he is innocently happy to see someone who suits his taste, like Seto.

To that two-sided nature, Ray unexpectedly gives a surprise look.

"Hmm, Seto is cute. I would love a concubine.... Ray, don't you know where Griffon is other than Seto?

"No, you won't"

Shake your head and open your mouth remembering the settings you have prepared for yourself.

"Seto has grown up with me since I was little, and that's why I'm getting so crowded. I've never seen a Griffon other than Seto either. Besides, if you subjugate a griffon other than Ceto, it would be difficult to be as gentle as Ceto... honestly."

At the end of Ray's gaze, who is answering that, waving eagle claws as he deals with a group of five wolves, poking them with couchworms, or kicking them up with his hind legs, the wolf population will instantly be wiped out and the soft meat part will fit into Seto's stomach.

If someone had only seen the sight, they would certainly not have been able to snort at the explanation of being nostalgic or gentle first.

Because there was such a one-sided ravage that it was not even a battle, literally a touch of armor.

"Mmm, well. As a concubine, I want an obedient demon like Seto.... I envy Ray."

Marca's squeaky whine echoed in the carriage behind the sight outside.

Meanwhile, the carriage on which Arnicht and Orchide are riding, which is also the rearmost carriage. The exterior is so carriage that it can only be regarded as an evil hobby, but it would have been salvation if it had just been for those on board who are not so evil hobbies, even if they are luxurious inside. But such carriages were currently even filled with silence.

Arnicht ignores the nobility. He looks out the window as if Roble does not exist, and Orchide enjoys his sleep by meditating his eyes only that he is sorry to stick his neck in such a state and get into trouble. Neither did Roble hide his opposition to Arnicht, who only seemed to be a proud nobleman, and he never spoke out of himself.

In the meantime, only Shty sometimes speaks to Roble and Arnicht in an attempt to make it hold between them, but he still returns to silence if he exchanges a word or two.

(Hey, hey. What am I supposed to do in this condition!?

Shty whispering in his heart, but there's no reason not to deal with a nobleman who even himself seems as grumpy in front of him as Roble, beyond being told that everything will be a rating criterion when it comes to rank-up exams in the first place.

(Absolutely, and more importantly, you didn't expect a nobleman with the worst compatibility with Robre....... but riding a carriage with a Duke of Quent or some hell of a big kid sucks if you get weird eyes on it. If I get in the carriage prepared by the guild or something, I can't help it because the rating is going to be negative. Nevertheless, I hope you do something about this painful silence)

Shty sighs small and points his gaze out the window. At that time, it was just in time that Seto was dealing with the wolf, waving its forelegs and crushing the wolf's head.

"Wow, I can't believe the monster isn't his opponent, but he's also overwhelmed by wolf opponents"

"Right. That's what you should call a griffon. It's a Rank A monster in the first place, so wolves will be opponents too."

Did Xing get on then, or are you getting tired of silence? Arnicht opens his mouth.

Though surprised by his sudden remarks, Shty opens his mouth with a small grin on his mouth, thinking it was better than staying silent.

"That's right. Given that, all I can say is that Ray is amazing."

"That's not all. There will be Griffon, who is, of course, an obedient demon, who himself has come to know his name so far, but above all because his strength has slipped away. Otherwise, I..."

"Arnicht"

It was Arnicht who tried to say something, but from all around him he accidentally stuffs the words into the words of Orchid, who thought he was asleep.

"Master Arnicht?

"No, it's nothing. Never mind."

"Well, Ray may be strong, but that's why we're not losing. Don't worry, Shty."

Even though I was an adventurer of the same rank, I guess my lover didn't mind praising other men. Despite his decision to ignore Arnicht, Roble accidentally pinches his mouth.

But it was Arnicht's sigh at the same time as Shty's agreeable snort that brought him back to it.

"What the heck. Are you complaining about something?

"... no matter what beings like you say, it's not just about prestige. You'll understand that later, so don't say anything more from me."

"Huh!?

He was told extraordinarily that he was just a man on the tip of his mouth, and he was a lobre who tried to eat and hang by accident, but was held down in his arms by a shti who was sitting next to him on the edge of it, stopping him from moving.

……

Ask for patience and silence, and just follow your lover's request and exhale deeply and sit back in your seat, Roble.

Shty also decided that even if he tried to have any more conversations, he would just make Roble and Arnicht's friends vicious in vain, and then he would remain silent without saying anything in particular.

Unlike the carriage on which Ray is riding, the carriage proceeds as the painful silence wraps around the interior of the vehicle.

……

Carriage prepared by the Alliance. Only two of them are on board, Ones and Residence.

But this carriage has been wrapped in silence since it began to travel.

Because Ones never opened his mouth without being silent and meaningful, and similarly, the Residence did not imitate asking the other Ones about something like that.

However, it is not meant to be as heavy silence as the carriages on which Robles and the others are riding, but so much so that the inside of the car, which is surrounded by silence that should be called some sort of natural silence, is likely to cry why the same silence would be so different if Shty had been in this carriage.

As such silence ensued, the Residence eventually looked out the window and muttered small.

"Here we are, huh?"

A carriage arrives where a flock of bicorns is seen.

And this was the first word the Residence and Ones uttered on the carriage.

Arriving at the destination, naturally, there was no way we could find the bicone as soon as we got out of the carriage, and the first thing to do was to find a herd of bicones, which was also the target, and at the same time to set up an attitude of protection for the carriage and those who manipulated it, as well as the nobles, who had come this far.

The nobility would never come to such a place if it were, but this time it takes the form of a rank-up exam. Therefore, we shall also have to break hands with regard to escorts against the nobles.

"So, then what about role sharing? Me and Shty going on a quest?

If we are the Beasts, Roble tells us that we can use five senses sharper than men to find bicorns.

"If that's what you mean, me and Seto can look for a bunch of bicorns from the sky? And since Ones is a bandit, he'll be good for reconnaissance."

In this case, speaking of what was unfortunate, all those challenging the rank-up exam would have had considerably more opposing abilities.

A sharp feeling characteristic of the beast man, his experience and ability as a bandit, and a vision that does not miss Seto's wings and targets, which is also a Rank A monster.

"With so many scoutable people here, I'm not sure who to send out."

"It'd be quick if we went, wouldn't it?

Roble shrugs just saying he's sorry to stay here and spend time with the nobles, but Shty shakes his head on that opinion.

"Certainly our sense of smell, hearing and vision are sharper than normal people. But in this case, I think Seto would be nice to have a view of the area from the sky. Fortunately, there are few places like the woods and woods where bicorns can hide themselves in the meadows."

"That's... but... oh, then why don't me and Sty just scout on Ceto?

Rejected.

Ray lightly dismisses Roble's words telling him that he had come up with a name proposal.

"Why not!

"First of all, Seto can't fly freely with two adults on board. And secondly... or this is the biggest reason why Seto doesn't like to put me on his back."

"Mmm, well, that's..."

"I'm sorry I couldn't get on and be shaken down in the air, right?

……

I looked up at the blue sky with few clouds, and eventually I nodded.

Even if it was about a few meters tall, if it was dropped from a height of about 30 meters or 40 meters, it would not have been safe to be a group of beasts with more physical abilities than normal humans.

"So you don't mind if the reconnaissance means me and Seto are leaving?

Ask Ray just in case, Roble reluctantly, Shty lightly, and Ones nods without changing his expression.

"I mean. Seto, we're on our way to reconnaissance."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

On the grass growing nearby, Seto, who was rubbing his forefoot with wolf blood on it, tinkles his throat and approaches Ray.

"Well, I'll let you know as soon as I find a bunch of bicorns, so I need you to find out if you're ready to go anytime this way."

That's what he told him, and after a few steps of help across Seto's back, he ran up the sky with his wings winged.
