Legend

A few days after I did my validation on poison nails. Speaking of what Ray had done in the meantime, he was shopping and eating at stalls and shops, or walking around the city wondering if there were any magic items or anything to dig out, and playing with Seto with Mileyne, whom he met by chance all over the city.

Or not knowing about Ray, spending a routine that, in a way, can always be described as the way it is, in a way, repelling if entwined by adventurers who have just come to Gilm.

Of course I didn't just play. He had gathered information on the labyrinth city he was planning to go to in the near future, or he had trained in combat using Death Size in front of a stables in a wheat pavilion at dusk.

At that time, after the adventurers staying at the inn asked me to do a mock fight, the next thing I know, I also ended up doing a series of mock fights with nearly 20 adventurers, and it must be natural in some ways that I ended up winning more than 50 straight.

Note that when it comes to why we've won 50 straight against 20 people, it's just because the adventurers are the only ones who have returned while the others are fighting, even after taking a rather modest blow from Ray.

If you try to be the adventurers staying at the inn, you'll get what you deserve in a way because the mock battle with the Rank B adventurer and... Ray, who also has an alias, is a lot of time to get, and even more so, Ray only had mock battles and pointed out bad places for his opponents.

Even for the adventurers, I would say they were very fortunate in the sense that they could create a face-to-face with Ray, a rank B adventurer besides their own training.

Furthermore, guests other than adventurers watched the simulation as if it were an audience, and there were rigid people inside who were making bets on how long they could carry Ray against them.

In the end, I ended up breaking up eating Lana's thunder, which is also the Inn's general.

Even if it was Ray, he would then be the wingman for Lana to whisper to him.

It was Ray who was spending those few days, but the day before, a messenger from the guild came and was ready for a meeting with the nobility, so the next day... I mean, he had been contacted to come to the guild after noon today.

"Nobility, hey. I don't think you can hire me."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

That's not true, Seto, who just rattles his throat.

But Ray goes down the boulevard silently stroking Seto's head like that.

I guess it's already pretty widespread that Ray buys and eats at stalls and dewstores all over the city, considering the Alliance envoy said he wanted them not to buy and eat because they take the form of luncheons.

… It is stranger not to become famous, considering that I have bought a large quantity and saved it in an item box.

In that way, if you keep walking without buying and eating rarely, you will eventually arrive at the guild.

"Grrrrrrrr"

After Seto rings briefly, he moves to his usual place - it has already turned into a dedicated space for Seto, and even without Seto, there will be no obedience or horses near him - and then this one goes into the guild again as usual.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. Hi, I've heard from the one above, so please wait a moment. I'll turn the carriage around immediately."

If Lenora finds Ray, she'll tell him so.

I usually have Kenny tangled up with Lenora like that, but I didn't see that on the counter if it was a holiday.

Speak a word or two to a nearby Alliance official and see that he has turned his gaze toward Ray again.

"I hear you can stay with me about Seto, but you don't mind, do you?

"Yeah, I heard that too, so I was wondering if there was a problem. Still, you're a little envious, aren't you? I can't believe it's a luncheon with the nobles."

"... I don't think it's that good."

"But aren't you interested in a noble meal? Unlike what we civilians usually eat, it feels delicious."

Ray snorts for such Lenora's words, indeed.

"Thinking about it, I'm sure I was lucky to have this luncheon. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of food comes out."

"Heh heh, I'm glad Mr. Ray seemed interested.... Oh, I see you're ready. On the table, please."

Hear the words, say a small thank you to Lenora, and then go out to the guild table.

Then there was a carriage waiting in front of the guild, even though it had not been 10 minutes since I entered the guild.

Nor is that the carriage that the Alliance normally uses. Ray had seen with his eyes several times before that it was an Alliance carriage, but it wasn't any of those carriages. Of course, that's not why it's such a bad hobby carriage with a rounded metal hobby as I saw during the rank-up exam. It looked like an Alliance carriage and was definitely just a pragmatic focus. However, there are exquisite decorations carved into each of them, somewhat manifesting the artistry that the beholder would admire if he saw them.

(With that said, I wonder whose belonged to that evil hobby carriage after all)

I can call Ray, who was thinking that way.

"Please, ladies and gentlemen, we're already waiting."

Follow the guide of the man dressed as elegant to see and board the carriage.

It was Ray who was somewhat concerned about his gaze from around him, but decided not to worry about it in particular after deciding it was the usual thing.

"Okay, I'm leaving"

"Oh, please"

Replying so to the voice from your seat, the carriage begins to advance... looking in its direction through the carriage window, slightly tilting its neck.

Because it looked familiar on that path. Yes, that was the road towards the Lords' Hall in Gilm.

"Are you on your way to the Lords' Hall?

"Yes, it is... haven't you heard?

I remember being told that much and only hearing that we were finally just having a luncheon.

"... if you say so, you certainly didn't hear"

"Really, I hear the luncheon will take place in the Lords' Hall"

Again, Ray snorts inside.

Anyway, I can easily imagine that as Dusker, Lord of the Guild, you wouldn't want to give yourself to another force. With that in mind, I guess it's best to have a luncheon under your own supervision and not let Ray turn under anyone in the end.

(Well, that being said, I'm not going to leave this city myself. Whatever you think, if it has to do with Warcraft, you should definitely stay on the edge)

Inside the carriage seat, whine inside with a view flowing through the window.

While doing that, eventually the carriage stops in front of the familiar outer gate and the gatekeeper speaks one or two words and goes inside.

Eventually the carriage stops in front of the gates of the Lords' Hall, and the door is opened by you.

It was Ray coming down that door, but I notice a bunch of gazes gathering up on me.

(No, I'm not the only one, naturally)

To be precise, about half of my gaze is on me and the other half is on my way to Seto.

"Seto can be with you, right?

"Yeah, that's what I hear"

Asking your lord just in case, it was decided that there was no particular problem there, and he went straight into the lord's hall with Seto... Eventually one of the maids would come and give ears to your lord.

He who nodded at it turns his gaze to Ray, who is behind him.

"I'm sorry, but I'm pressing for some time, so I'll keep going to the venue. Do you mind?

"I don't mind that, but can I wear this outfit?

Ray overlooks and asks about the dragon robe he is wearing.

The dragon robe itself is a superb magic item, but I guess many people fail to understand how effective it really is for ordinary aristocrats than it is for cover-ups. But...

"You won't mind. Those who fail to see the effect of that robe will not have the right to speak up to Master Ray."

Hearing that one word, Ray unwittingly opens his eyes.

Because the word now was one that wouldn't have come out if it hadn't spotted the cover-up effect of a dragon robe.

"Come here, then."

We are guided with the words, and eventually we reach the door.

And at the end of the open door is the garden of the Lords' Hall. And...

"Um, you've come a long way. I've been waiting for you!

Wearing a light green dress, he looked like Marca.

Apart from Marca, of course, there are quite a few figures of nobility. As far as Zaray can tell, there are about 30 of them. Some of them have seen things like Arnicht and Orchid, but most of them have never even seen their faces.

Most of the aristocrats on the spot stood and had conversations or had eaten dishes arranged on tables arranged in the garden.

It's called a garden party.

"This is..."

What Ray was asking was that there would be a dinner party, that is, a meal that would require tough manners.

But that's not what's spreading in front of us right now, it's either a substitute for the atmosphere, like a home party between friends. It's not that it's a party that's open in the mansion, it's probably a soothing atmosphere because it's a standing party that's open in the garden.

In fact, some are dressed like Marka, while many are wearing easy-going clothes. Among the noble escorts and thoughts in the corner of the garden, which is a party venue, you can also see such people as wizards wrapped in robes, knights in armor and warriors with swords.

Fortunately, none of the wizards seemed capable of sensing magic, and although there were no occasions to marvel at Ray's magic, which could be considered the norm in such a setting.

(I see, surely this wouldn't be too noticeable in my outfit)

Convinced inside, one man approaches Ray.

"Ha ha. What do you say, you're surprised? Well, I don't like manners, either. It's so easy to stand and talk and eat freely."

"Dear Dusker, thank you for inviting me this time"

Ray lowers his head toward Dusker, who approached him with a luxurious grin.

But Dusker waves the left hand of those who don't have a glass of wine just saying never mind.

"I told you now. You don't have to worry about tough manners. At least not on this occasion. More than that, I'm gonna introduce you to everyone, so come on."

With those words, Dusker takes Ray and Seto to the center of the venue - that is, the center of the garden.

I guess the nobles who enjoyed conversation and cooking in each of them, or the sight of a summer garden, also noticed two and one of them.

No, Ning Lo, it's weirder not to notice that the participants in this party are those who gathered for Ray and Seto.

"Guys, I'm sorry, but pay attention. As you can see, Ray, also the star of this party, arrived. And many of you know he's next door, but he's Ray's obedient and Griffon's ceto. Griffon is a monster that is even said to be the Reaper of the Great Sky, but as you can see Seto is a big man and never does harm to people from himself.... except if you try to do harm. I want you to remember that area."

I would have leaked my dissatisfaction with Dusker's words if he were a nobleman with personality difficulties. Or maybe they were making a fuss about putting monsters in party venues.

However, those present in this venue are the chosen nobles, except for those who are likely to cause problems with Ray. Therefore, we had gathered enough information about Ray and Seto in advance, and above all, Ray's assessment is included with Seto, who is a Griffon. In fact, it is also true that even in the war with the Bestian Empire, which was to gain an alias, no great harm could have been done to the enemy's front forces without Seto.

And if we gather information in the city, we'll soon know how much Seto loves it, or how nostalgic it is. Therefore, if there was no danger, the nobles who were here accepted without saying anything.

… even if the noble escorts attending the garden party knew Seto was safe, they would rub their minds in case.

"Thank you, Uncle Larks Borderline, for inviting me to such a lovely party today.... Ray, it's been a few days. Have you been promoted to Rank B and doing well?

Ray, who was introduced with Seto, had a person who would come to his earliest and only voice.

I suppose there was also a reason that the person spoke casually because Ray and I knew each other. It's Arnicht I was with in the rank-up exam.

I realized that that attitude was a lot softer than it was during the rank-up exam, and Ray had a surprise look on his face for just a moment, but I'm immediately convinced.

(After all, the attitude during the rank-up exam was impressive.)

"Ya, how you doing?

Orchid greets Ray with his hands up with a careless look on his face as if to follow Arnicht.

To such a friend's attitude, Arnicht pulls Pickle and cheeks open his teasing mouth.

"Hey, Orchide. If you want to say hello first, Uncle Larks will be the first."

"Ha ha. I don't mind. It's rude today. Otherwise, we can't call Ray in the first place."

"... excuse me, Larks Borderline Uncle. My friend..."

"Ouch, hey, this is Arnicht. Get your hands off my head."

Orchid protests Arnicht, who forcefully makes him bow his head, but naturally Arnicht can't possibly even consider that.

And I guess you've seen this exchange and decided you can call Ray anymore. Many nobles will be calling out to Ray.

That said, it's Ray, who's already turned down a servant's invitation from the Duke of Quent's house. Most of it was not about servants, but about getting acquainted with them.

And behind Ray, who is a noble opponent, Seto enjoyed a delicious meal, fed by other nobles attending the party, or spent graceful time being stroked.
