Legend

"Hmm?... Mmm..."

Ray wakes himself up in bed as the summer dazzling morning sun pours into the room.

It was noisy late in the night at the promotion party the day before, and it was around the time the day changed that I came back to the inn.

With that in mind, I guess I should say I'm still lucky I woke up in the morning.

Throw the clothes you were stripping and scattering into the laundry cage, and then remove the new shirt from the mysterious ring to get back on track.

When I walked straight out of the room and headed to the dining room on the first floor, I could hardly see anyone eating breakfast saying that it was already quite time.

But those few evening wheat pavilion guests begin to talk within their peers when they see Ray.

"Hey, that robe you're wearing got rank B yesterday?

"Oh, definitely. That's what I heard this morning from an adventurer I'm very gracious about."

"Rank B. I'd like to ask for an escort if I can."

"Sure. I don't know what kind of monster would attack this neighborhood. Besides, if you take a Rank B Adventurer as an escort outside the border, you can feel safe being attacked like a bandit by a vicious opponent, and it affects the character of the merchant corps."

"... but a lot of guys don't believe me until they show me their guild cards when I say it's rank B with that face?

"Sure. In fact, when I first came to this city, I talked about being insulted by appearances and quite tangled up. Most of them regret seeing it terribly."

You can hear merchants in the merchants of the merchants or those who do business individually, but Ray gets to his seat listening to it from right to left.

Then, as if waiting for it, Lana, also Inn's general, approaches with a grin.

"Good morning. Looks like you had a lot of trouble last night."

Put cold fruit water on the table as you greet me so.

"Oh, good morning. Quick, but breakfast, please."

"Yesterday I seem to have eaten and drank quite late, would you prefer something light for breakfast? Or normal?

"With a normal meal, please"

"Yes, I understand.... Congratulations Ray on your promotion to Rank B"

Lana returns to the kitchen with a final smile and words of celebration.

Drop off after that, drink the fruit water that was placed on the table and wait for the dish to be served.

However, while waiting for it, about 10 people in the dining room frequently turned their gaze on Ray, and eventually one of them stood up and proceeded to Ray as if he had decided to.

"Um, you're Ray, the adventurer who became rank B yesterday, right?

Exactly. If it were to be Rank B, wouldn't it insult you to say that Ray looks like a boy in his mid teens, a man in his late 20s or so would speak out in a polite tone?

"Oh, yeah?

Observe the situation while encouraging a man to talk while drinking fruit water.

(You're still pretty young. I guess that's a lot richer than being at this dusk wheat pavilion in Gilm...... a pedestrian?

It was Ray's word as if he had put it on the shelf that he was also quite young, but the man bows his head without looking like he cared about it.

"Actually, I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

"Request?"

"Yes. My name is Prison. Even though I look like this, I'm a pedestrian, but I wanted to ask Ray, who became a Rank B Adventurer, to escort me...... what do you think?

The moment a man named Prison tells him so, the other merchants who were inside the dining room turn their sharp gaze to Prison.

His eyes were directed at the merchant who ran away, and at the same time he seemed to praise his ability to act.

"Escort, huh? Specifically?

"Huh? No, well, if you can... I'd like to ask for about two months"

That, as soon as he heard the period of two months, Ray shook his neck to the side.

"I'm sorry, but I can't take that request"

"Why? I haven't even told you the exact terms yet... but is there anything I don't care about?

"No, I'm not. Well, it's also true that I wasn't originally motivated to take a request for an escort, but I actually have some errands to run in a little while. I'll be away from this city for a while."

Yes, I will visit in less than a month when I promise to go to the labyrinth city with Elaine, whom I promised in the spring.

In that case, it was impossible first and foremost for me to take time on a month-by-month basis, even if I took the request, than I needed to leave the city with Seto.

"... is that right, too bad"

Prison groans in his sigh and returns to his own table in some powerless footsteps.

Neither did the merchants who watched it hear what Prison said when he said no. There was nothing more like inviting them to ask for it.

I wanted to be familiar with the Rank B Adventurers anyway, but the atmosphere Ray had made it difficult to talk to people.

After that, think about your plans for today while eating a simple breakfast such as bread, bacon and vegetable soup, omelette, which is mixed with the nuts that have been carried.

(The first priority to do would be absorption of bicorn demon stones, no matter what. When it comes to buying and selling bicorn materials... well, there's no need to hurry, so can we wait later? So, where do you absorb demon stones... no, if you're going to absorb demon stones with guilds, you've got a place to be)

Past the back of Ray's brain is a vacant place with tree-covered surroundings that have absorbed demonic stones many times before. It has some breadth, and in case someone passes nearby, you don't have to worry about being seen absorbing demonic stones thanks to the trees growing around you. It was exactly where I dressed up.

Finish all your breakfast at the same time as you finish making your plans for today and moisten your throat with cold, cold tea served with breakfast.

It's a cold tea that usually comes out at the wheat pavilion at dusk, but this is only possible because the wheat pavilion at dusk is a luxury inn. This kind of magic item is too expensive to handle in an inn like a regular adventurer's stay, and it would be a raw tea even if it came out.

Alternatively, if anyone can use the magic of the water system, it might be different.

"A treat. It was delicious today, so I'm looking forward to dinner."

"Thank you"

Lana bowed her head to Ray's words and went straight to the stables, ignoring the merchants who were unfortunately turning their gaze.

"Um, it's been a while since I've been here... but it's only summer and it's hot after all"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

To Ray's words, yeah? Seto tilting his little neck as he rattled his throat like he said though.

To that appearance, Ray decides he can't help but look around because he's a griffon.

A place surrounded by trees and like vacant land. There was currently Ray and Seto.

Though my mouth says it's hot, it's still in the morning and it's not that hot. In the first place, it's only pillows that are hot or cold than wearing a dragon robe that can manage the temperature to some extent.

"Anyway, I've come this far around the corner. I don't know if I can do better than spend time pointlessly."

Whimpering, it goes without saying that it was removed from the mysterious, bicorn demon stone. Sometimes it is a Rank D monster, which is only about a few cm in size and is not comparable to the Demonic Stone of the Rem Race.

"Seto"

Seto brilliantly swallows and swallows the demonic stone thrown with the call.

And...

[Seto mastered the skills of "Poison Claw Lv.3"]

The announcement flowed through the back of my brain as usual.

"Poison claws? Well, I guess it's reasonable to think of a bicorn horn."

Those two horns were fiercely poisonous, and the goblin, which was actually scratched by that horn even when Ray saw it, was instantly dull in motion and devoured by a herd of bicorns. With that in mind, I guess it's natural to increase the skill level of poisonous nails.

"Even so, poisonous nails? Exactly. There's no reason to try this on a tree or anything. Then we'll find the monsters around later."

"Gru."

Seto nodding to agree with Ray as he throats at his words.

I smile as I see how it goes.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

What's the matter with you? Ray opens his mouth as he strokes his back to Seto, who tilts his little neck like that.

"No, the strongest Ceto skill I've ever had was Firebrace, but I thought this made poison claws the same Lv.3. Poison claws had only auxiliary expectations, but getting so strong would be the main means of attack more than enough. … but I have no idea what the maximum LV of my skills is"

Exhaling, I take the bicorn demon stone out of Mystering just saying it's my turn next.

"Now, Seto's mastery of skills means he can expect Death Size... I don't know!

Throw it into the air and flash the death size. The demon stone cut by its blade, disappear...

[Death Size mastered the skills of 'Corrosion Lv.2']

Yes, the announcement flowed.

"No, well, corrosion and poison may be similar if it's in my skills... honestly, that sounds off"

Squirting, sighing Ray.

Rather than being an adventurer and collecting demonic stones, Ray's opponents will naturally have more monsters. And corrosion means nothing if the enemy doesn't have metal gear.

Of course some monsters have metal gear in case of mannequins, like the oak they fought before. But what is overwhelming is the monster who uses his body as a weapon.

With that in mind, Ray's mourning would also be natural in some ways.

Most of all, someone who doesn't know anything more about Ray than going to a labyrinth city will sometimes get tangled up in the aesthetic aspirations of Elaine, who is acting from that look or together. Encourage yourself and switch consciousness when it becomes a useful skill when fighting such opponents.

"Well, for now, you can't look into my ability to corrode, so check the power of poison claws first."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto nods at Ray's words and crouches his back toward Ray.

Across its back, after a few steps of help, Seto wings and runs up the sky.

Each other's breathing around here would deserve to be described as exactly the breathing of an abalone.

"But even if I said I would make sure the poison nails worked... did I use them before when I went to the dungeon with Elaine? On second thought, it's hard for other guys to find poison claws or something, so it's okay to use them normally. Of course, you can't let someone who doesn't know anything about poisonous and painful situations."

What Ceto currently knows as a special individual, unlike regular griffons, are two Elaine and Ara, and three burning winds. And as far as the outsiders are concerned, only Rich's Grimm. It was true that in front of others, there was no reason to show the special nature of Seto openly.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

When Ray thinks that way, eventually Seto rings and draws attention.

Following Seto's gaze at the meadows that were spreading beneath his eyes, there were about 10 goblins there.

"Goblin?... I saw them defeated by bicorn poison, and would that be some indicator? I would have preferred a slightly higher ranked monster if I could."

"Gru."

I won't tell you the luxury, but Seto rings his throat like I said.

Ray just nods that he can't help it again.

"Let's go, then. First stop the goblin movement with the king's intimidation. If you're scattered and run away, you'll have a lot of trouble trying."

Leaving it to Ray's word, Seto makes a sharp descent toward Goblin walking down the meadow with his throat rattling.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

As soon as the king's intimidation is activated and his voice is heard, every goblin on the spot stops moving.

… although some goblins stopped the life activity itself to much impact.

Then we head to the stopped goblin, where Seto, who activated the poisonous nail, wields his forefoot...

"Gru."

Even though Goblin and Griffon said that the force was overwhelming, it also had the effect of a rigid bracelet that lifted the basic force, and the forefoot of the shaken ceto crushed the torso of the goblin, spreading its guts, blood, flesh and bones into the meadows.

Seeing how it goes, Ceto accidentally drops his shoulder.

But you didn't think there was any point in staying like this, activating the poison claw again and pointing your forefoot at the immobile goblin.

Though this time softly not to kill with a single blow.

An attack that can't even be called such an attack, as if it had been stabbed with a needle if you tried it as a goblin.

But... it's suffering in less than five minutes, and less than three more minutes from there, I spit blood out of my mouth and fall down.

I tried the other goblins as well, but most of the goblins had slight differences, all of which were poisoned and ran out within 10 minutes.

Watch the goblin corpse rolling on the spot, Ray sighing small.

"The power of poison is definitely rising. It's coming up... but you don't know the exact power of a goblin opponent."

It was Ray who would have liked to give the other monster opponents a try if he could.
