Legend

"... that? This place..."

Ray getting out of bed looks around at an unrecognizable view.

The room itself is not that big. No, considering it's about 4 tatami, I'd even say it's Ning Ro narrow.

Looking around in a room like that...... finally remembers where I am.

"Well, you ended up letting me stay at that tavern."

Get up, put on your dragon robe and Slapenil shoes and go outside the room.

"Ooh, good morning. That was pretty late."

That's how the man, who is also the owner of the liquor store, calls out, but Ray's response to that was somewhat grumpy.

"I told you I don't like booze."

"Really? Well, if you say so, you don't feel like you did."

"White..."

Yes. Even though the man in front of him said Ray wasn't too good at booze the day before, he gathered the villagers for a banquet at night.

Ray himself didn't know, but it's not so uncommon for guests to come to this village. But it's true that not so many guests stay.

Ray was trying to stay at the inn at first, but if he refused to invite a man to stay at the inn, he hastened a lot because he hasn't had a guest in a long time

It must have been true. … to that extent, there were few guests staying in this village.

"Look, there's a well on the table, so come and get yourself cleaned up. Then it's breakfast time."

"Oh, let me do that.... Can you ask Seto to cook too?

"Hmm... because I eat that griffon pretty good. For once I have about today's share, but do I have to do something about it from tomorrow? Are you saying that at least salvation is now the early summer? There's no problem replenishing food in the summer and fall."

The grumpy look on that word earlier disappears, and I feel sorry for you somewhere, Ray.

Anyway, because I saw and found out that Seto's popularity was accepted by the inhabitants of this village at yesterday's banquet and consumed a considerable amount of food in the liquor store.

I know I had a lot of pranks, but at first I guess I felt somewhat bad about the guy who stayed with me in good faith. Remove several pieces of silver coins from the bag removed from the mistering in the dragon robe.

"In the meantime, it's me and Seto's food bill. Take it."

"... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He was the man who tried to unintentionally recruit him that way, but he accidentally clogs his words by remembering one and one appetite he saw the day before.

"That's the thing. I don't know when Elaine will arrive in this village, but if you think about me and Seto's food costs, you should take that much."

"Well, if you say so, I'll take it."

While a man receives silver coins, he never looks particularly happy.

In the first place, there are few merchants in this village, basically living on a self-sufficient basis. Interaction between villagers is also close to bartering.

Given that, is it something like Ray's favor for a man to accept silver coins?

"Anyway, I'll make breakfast while you're on your own, so go. Yeah, I've been feeding Seto properly."

"Well, that helps."

Short thank you and go outside.

Looking back as it was, what's there is normal...... no, it's a little splendid for it to be in the country, but it just seemed like a house nonetheless.

The only indication that this building is a liquor store would be about a sign with a painting of liquor near the entrance.

"It's like a village for all kinds of reasons... it's something I care about. I'm sorry to bother you so much."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

I rub my face against Ray, who shrugged, and Seto, who had come near me at some point, rattled his throat.

"Morning Seto. Did you sleep well last night?

"Gru!"

The way he throats well expressed his attitude that he had no problems at all last night.

"Well, good for you. I haven't slept well outside of a magic tent in a long time."

Take a few pieces of dried meat out of the well water and give it to Seto.

Seto also said he had already finished breakfast, but had no hesitation whatsoever eating the dried meat given to him by Ray.

That look that sounds throaty and delightful seems more like a cat to me than a Griffon of Rank A monsters called Reapers of the Great Sky, no matter what you think.

(There's no mistake in the feline family, except that my lower body is a lion.)

He plays instead of saying hello in the morning with Seto for about 5 minutes, stroking his head and back, brushing and doing it, and a man sighs out of the tavern as if he looked frightened.

"Dude, I told you I was getting ready for breakfast. If you thought you wouldn't be back forever...... look, Ray! You don't eat breakfast!

"Oh, bad. Of course I will."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Drop off Ray, who stood up to the man's words, with Seto honking his throat a little lonely.

"Don't worry, you're free until Elaine gets here anyway. When we're done eating breakfast, shall we take our time together?"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto rings his throat happy not to say what it was like to be lonely a few seconds ago.

A man who looks at one of those and convinces himself that there are just Elaine's associates.

After that, we were going to finish breakfast on a menu that wasn't a very morning meal: bacon, sausage ham, dried meat and bread.

Having eaten almost everything meat breakfast, Ray will decide to make sure that his upcoming meals are stocked inside the mysteries.

"Oh, you guys. What's going on in a place like this?

After finishing a meal that would never have been the case if it had been rewarded or otherwise for certain people: meat and bread only, Ray, who had nothing to do in particular, looked around the village with Seto.

That said, as far as the side is concerned, there is nothing particularly unusual about it, and it is only a normal rural area.

In the meantime, I thought I'd take a look around at the farmer and give it away if it was any kind of vegetable that looked delicious. Ray had obtained it by bartering for substitutes such as bicorn meat that he defeated during the rank-up exam the other day with vegetables that seemed to be available for cooking.

And the next man I saw in the field that came was the man Ray asked about the tavern's location yesterday.

However... Ray moves his eyebrows small when he sees it again gripping the wax.

He probably wears long sleeves in the summer as a measure of sun sickness, sunburn, or insects, but he still hasn't been able to hide his good health.

At first glance, he only looks like a farmer, and again, I'm sure he's a farmer, but at least not before he became a farmer. The job would definitely have been to do the kind of work that would carry out the battle.

Even so, I somehow knew from yesterday that this village had some kind of secret of the Duke of Kelevel territory, so I tell the farmer my purpose without further investigation.

"Actually, I was hoping you could give me something nice with summer vegetables. Of course not. I need you to trade me for bicorn meat...... what do you say?

"Nuh. Right, potatoes have something I just harvested... but still?

Chirali, and a farmer's man turns his gaze toward a cabin nearby. I guess that's where the harvested potatoes are.

Potatoes are less likely to rot by drying in the shade after harvest and can be stored for nearly a year.

Most importantly, the dried potatoes naturally lose a few flavors compared to just after the harvest. Ray, who knew that in Japanese life, nods at the words of the farmer's man and quickly and just takes the bicorn meat out of the mysteries.

Bicone block meat, which is about 30 kg, still remained fresh despite the fact that it had been in the mysteries for quite a few days.

(Naturally, it was in the mysteries... but it doesn't get any worse, but it doesn't mature.)

Monster meat tastes good as high as the magic it contains. I wondered how much it would taste if the meat matured, but somehow I couldn't think of a place where I could do the meat maturation just as an adventurer.

It would be Hasta's demolition shed if it were possible, but then I couldn't easily ask for it if I thought it would get in the way of Hasta's demolition work, and most importantly, there is the question of what to do with temperature control.

(No, given the temperature control, if it's a wheat pavilion at dusk, can you ask for about one type? Then it would be meat from the highest-ranked monster at that point. Now it's a lem race. only part of it, considering the amount of meat)

Cesar pent over 30m in length. The head was blown up, or I gave it as a thank you to the adventurer who helped me dismantle it, or otherwise behaved to others at the banquet, but a significant amount still remained in the mistering.

That's about as good as Ray and Seto have been eating for over a year.

"Oh, this is amazing. Is this bicorn meat? Sure, I don't mind exchanging it for potatoes if this is all you get. More than that, I'd like to ask you to replace it."

"Well, let's get some potatoes soon."

"Oh, how much do you want?

"I don't mind as much as meat"

The farmer's man gives Ray a frightened look at his words, but leads him to the cabin if he has no problems.

"This is... awesome"

Spread inside the cabin were potatoes, potatoes and potatoes. It was a sight to call even a carpet of potatoes on one side.

(Feels like potatoes, not sweet potatoes, I saw.... Well, I'm harvesting it in the summer, so maybe it's natural)

Nod, divide the amount of about 30 kg and store it in the misting.

It was of a certain size, but still, at 30 kg, it was quite a lot, and it would take about 20 minutes to finish storing everything.

Thank you for the meat.

Rey and Seto, who were dropped off by a farmer's man, head back for a walk in the village.

After that, I walked around the village to get vegetables, or the kids invited me to the river to catch river fish, and in a way, I had a summer holiday.

(That being said, it's been over a year since I came to this Elgin)

Think blurry about that while watching the summer sunset in the distance.

Ray doesn't regret coming from Japan to this Elgin. Because if I hadn't come to Elgin in the first place, I would have died like that.

With that in mind, for Ray, Zeppyre didn't have any grudges to thank.

"Gru."

Seeing how Ray was like that, I guess Seto felt something connected in a deep place. Rub your face as you tinkle your throat.

While stroking Seto's head, he looks at the green wheat ear as if it were also a symbol of summer, and laughs small.

Nothing in particular happened. However, if it was a sight that I knew, even the same green ear was not a wheat ear but an rice ear, and the moment I truly remembered it, my grin leaked.

I hang my voice as I scratch my tight head of Seto staring at me worried as it is.

"Ever since I came to Elgin, I've never taken my time in a rural area like this. I'm just a little sentimental because of that."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

It is true that Ray has ever stopped in the countryside. I stop in the countryside more than once, especially when I'm traveling in the war against the Bestian Empire. But still, there was no way that we could have had time to watch the summer sunset so slowly, and that was why it was so sentimental.

Does it feel good to have your head scratched, Seto, who is throbbing in an upper mood?

That was one person and one looking at the emotional summer landscape somehow...... I notice a lot of noise happening unexpectedly near the entrance to the village.

"... what?

Ray groans and looks at the entrance to the village in surprise as he strokes Seto.

At the end of that gaze, you can see a large number of villagers gathering at the entrance. However, many had the expression of joy on their faces, rather than the wind that was killing them.

Ray, concerned about the villagers, naturally heads with Seto to the entrance to the village.

And what I could see was the look of a luxurious carriage pulled by two warhorses coming towards the village.

Speaking of luxury, it's not the kind of luxury of bad taste Ray saw during his rank-up exam. luxury in the sense that the carriage itself is a magic item.

Ray, who looks familiar to that carriage, immediately understands why this is such a fuss.

But at the next moment, he was dyeing his face confused with the expression he was convinced of.

Because the man manipulating the warhorse on your platform was an unrecognizable man.

Ara, or Machen, who gained face-to-face knowledge during the war with the Bestian Empire, could have quickly convinced me.

However, the carriage continued without looking like it cared about the confusion of such a ray, eventually stopping at the entrance to the village......

"Good luck, everyone. I heard an adventurer named Ray was coming."

The person who came off the carriage with that word was a combination of the atmosphere and beauty of Rin.

"Cucu!"

With that person, little dragons like the deformed also show up from the carriage again.

Elaine, famous as a princess general, and the user demon's erotic created by dragon-language magic.

That is, it was one with one Ray was meeting in the land.
