Legend

For a moment my body was wrapped in light, and when I realized it, the surrounding view I could see from Ray was changing.

Until a few seconds ago, the surrounding area was the stone aisle that made up the dungeon, or the sight of the walls glowing brightly, but the Rays were present next to a cylindrical transfer device about 3 m high at the entrance to the dungeon.

"Well, is this the metastasis? That's totally uncomfortable. That's the legacy of ancient magic civilization."

He shrugged as Elaine was impressed as he moved in front of the transfer device.

Ray nods again as he walks next to that Elaine.

Note that Ray's hand strokes Seto's head looking around in surprise with a sudden transition, but such a yellow climb in Ray's hand made him feel like he could really tell where it was if he tried it on those around him.

Actually, Seto may be the only experience among the Rays in the sense of metastasis, but it doesn't look that way from the way he looks around.

Some people tried to distance themselves with a stunned look on their faces for a moment when the Rays transferred and came back, but they loosened their cheeks unexpectedly when they saw such a yellow appearance.

The time was just a little around the afternoon, and not so many adventurers around would have been one of the causes that didn't get noisy.

"Well, what do we do now? I'm back from the dungeon, and you want to make it a meal?

Ray asks Elaine as she puts the yellow coming up her own arm back on Seto's back, but Elaine shakes her head small.

"No, let's go to the guild first"

"To the guild? Why again?"

"It would be decided to buy materials, demon stones, and crusade proof sites. I used to leave all this work to Ver. Actually, I was hoping to have a little experience."

"Experience, hey. I don't think there's anything unusual about this."

"I guess that's because it's Ray who's already become a part of his life to settle in the guild. I'm afraid not. And... there's something I'd like to ask you."

Elaine's eyes glowed sharply for a moment, and it was clear that her original purpose was not to buy materials, etc., but what she wanted to hear.

And Ray, who half understands what he wants to hear, also goes to the guild, agreeing with Elaine's opinion without saying anything more.

The adventurers who were on the spot with those two and two dropped them off without a voice... and finally opened their mouths where they could no longer see behind them.

"Whoa, whoa! Why are there adventurers with griffons or something? You're not going to get a little spiffy!?

"Ah, oh. And... if I'm not mistaken, it looked like a dragon on Griffon's back."

"I didn't dream or hallucinate, either."

"Such a good woman, I've never seen her before in my life. Wow, I'd really like to ask someone for the night."

"Hey, stop it. Don't you know? It was a deep red with that woman, wasn't it?

"... Seriously?

"Oh, so you spent the night in the dungeon yesterday? Is it impossible not to know? No doubt about it. Because it seems someone who arrived in Exile yesterday and was in the war with the Bestian Empire when he made a dungeon card out of his guild said so. Besides, the deep red guild rank is" B. "

"... Seriously?

"Seriously, too. I'm pretty sure the guild receptionist saw the guild card and leaked it."

"You're still a midteenager, aren't you? That's Rank B..."

"If you get your hands on it badly, there's no doubt about it first."

A woman adventurer who whines and cuts her neck off.

The man watching it shook his head breathlessly, not thinking of the trick.

"No, no, no. Whatever. Such imitation..."

"What do you think? As far as the rumors of deep red go, it seems pretty unforgiving to a hostile opponent, doesn't it? Regardless of the story of burning all the Bestian Imperial Army alone, I also hear rumors of cutting off the limbs of the noblemen who complained about it and making it a spectacle."

amputation of limbs and spectacles. The man of the adventurer, who was told so, breathes again.

I was wondering what would happen if I had my hands on my people if I were to do something like that just because I complained.

"... no matter how good a woman you are, you should never get your hands on it."

"Right. If it's your opponent, I'll do it for you, so be happy."

"... Huh?

In that way, a pair of lovers could have been made out of acts that seemed to have made Ray stock, but rumors often spread and expanded indefinitely. Most importantly, it was true that Ray had amputated both shoulders of the next Marquis, Renozis Immerhen, who was also an aristocratic nobleman, but rumours had spread from there to the tail and to the chest.

"I'd like to ask you a few questions about buying materials."

"Huh? Ah, yes. Please buy the material over there. What you want to hear is... what is it?

To Ray's words, that's how the guild's receptionist returns it.

It was Elaine next to it, not Ray, who replied to that receptionist's words.

"It's about Bühne Flaut. Why are you tolerating solo movement in the dungeon at her age?

"In her case, it's what she wants. Sometimes there's a problem with the house, and as a guild, there's no reason to say no."

"But at that age, right?

"Yes, I understand that. But she needs money, and it doesn't matter how many bandits we have in our guild or in our arms. Besides, as you know, it's your own fault to be an adventurer, and you can't reject it as an guild if you have strength and motivation in person. That's even more so if you're the Fraut lady who built this Exile prosperity."

Even as Elaine's forces push her, the receptionist never retreats to recruit her.

If you try to be a receptionist, surely the person in front of you is beautiful enough to be seen for the first time in about 20 years of life, and even a duke's warrant, someone with the alias of a princess general. But still, as an Alliance employee, I could never leave here.

I guess I felt that receptionist's thoughts. Ray puts his hand on Elaine's shoulder wrapped in white armor.

"Elaine, it's your loss. Certainly the adventurer is self-responsible, as the receptionist there says. That's why adventurers are so powerful."

"But!"

While I forgive Elaine for asking, Ray also thinks again.

(Even though I do say it's my own fault, the adventurers around me usually stop when a 10-year-old comes to register. It is suspicious of all things not to stop it. Well, I guess it has something to do with the house that discovered the dungeon and ruled Eggzil... and according to what I've heard, it's been nearly 300 years since the Flaut family fell. And yet it's something that still has that much influence?

While questioning internally, Ray realizes that even if he makes any more noise here, he will just annoy the guild, taking Elaine to the material buying counter while ignoring the gaze of curiosity being directed from around him.

Exile's unique system, a labyrinth city with a large number of adventurers, is probably also the perfect separation between reception and buying.

"Ray! Why..."

"Elaine."

Ray interrupts Elaine's words in an attempt to solicit something and calls out.

"... what"

Elaine not agreeing to that.

"You've been working as a soldier. Therefore, I am not familiar with adventurers.... right?

To Ray's inquiry, Elaine nods silently.

I know so much about the military world that there is no more, and I know so much about the aristocratic world. But for Elaine, who had never been deeply involved except in the presence of an adventurer and the crusade of monsters, Ray's inquiry had to snort.

"A soldier has a soldier's, and an adventurer has an adventurer's fashion.... you know what I mean?

……

To Ray's words, Elaine nods silently again.

I'm not convinced of it as an emotion, but do you understand it in reason?

"Look, the next time you see Bühne, you can ask him about the area. We're going back to the inn after we've sold the materials."

"Okay."

Following Ray's words, the two head to where they are buying material among the guilds.

Fortunately, the number of adventurers lined up at the counter is not that high yet, and there are a few available counters. Ray and Elaine head to one of those counters and speak to the guild staff.

"Ask to buy materials"

"... I don't mind that, but what's the key material? Doesn't look like you have anything, does it?

An employee of a woman in her 30s looks at Ray and tilts her neck.

Inside, however, it was a joyful scream to see the Princess General up close, which had spread to the Alliance staff.

I guess it means I'm a professional around here who doesn't put it on the table no matter what I'm thinking on the inside.

"Oh, bad. Right here."

Whimpering, material stripped from mystering onto the counter, demonic stones, and rays that line up when you put out crusade proof sites.

The material has been touched, and the quality of the stripped material is mostly around the bottom of the inside, even the most in good condition is above the inside, etc. But still, the woman's official looking at Ray opens his eyes in amazement.

"Item...... Box......"

"Oh, sort of. Ask for an assessment of the purchase more than that. Well, it's basement ground floor and upstairs monster material, so I'm not expecting the amount."

A woman who flatly acknowledges the existence of an item box and returns it to me immediately. Start assessing the material on the spot.

Several adventurers watched that happen, but he leaves the guild shaking his head in sigh. I guess I decided it wasn't weird to have an item box than to have an alias.

Or there could have been something that could only be described as unfamiliar, recklessly entangled in the lay and trying to take away the mistering if it was a more crowded time period. However, this point was also fortunate that the sun was still high and the number of adventurers in the Alliance was low.

"Ah, yes. Please wait a moment."

The staff in charge of buying into Ray's voice will also return it to me to check the material.

That said, the confirmation ends immediately because the quantity itself is not that high...

"Materials, Demon Stones, Crusade Proof Sites. All together, there will be 5 copper coins for 4 silver coins, are you sure?

"Oh, that doesn't matter. I mean, you're surprised it's considerably higher than I expected. I've been thinking about it for about two silver coins."

"The price of Demon Stone has been rising recently, and we're buying Demon Stone from the Alliance so that the Marchelle and Levisole families can compete. Of course I can't complain more than they're buying it for a regular price as an guild, but thanks to it, I'm not going to have enough to turn it around for the magic items, am I? So the amount of Demon Stone purchased is currently up. It's a demonic stone used by city residents for magic items they normally use, so it's more quantitative than quality. So it would be helpful if Ray and Elaine could dive into the dungeon with that area in mind, if you don't mind."

Chirali, and the woman who keeps saying words as she looks at Ray's wrist.

"Especially Ray, who won't need a porter more than he has an item box."

"We're going to dive into more and more dungeons and move on, so it's going to be the only time we can sell the Miscellaneous Fish Monster Demon Stone. Still, I'll bring as many demon stones as I can."

"It would be helpful if you did."

Hang words to Ray, who nods at the woman's words, as if Elaine were to water the words.

"In Ray's case, he has a strange taste in collecting demon stones, so maybe he won't be able to buy them too much."

"Collecting Demon Stones?

To that word, a woman who turns her gaze to Chirali and Ray.

If you try Elaine, you know that Ray's biggest purpose in coming to the dungeon is the Demonic Stone to absorb into Ceto and Death Size at the same time as the Magic Item. Therefore, it was a kind of restraint so that we could secure all the magic stones we would get in the dungeon without selling them.

I guess I figured that out. Ray grins bitterly at Elaine's care and nods at the woman.

"Oh. Basically, I have secured two magic stones, one for preservation and one for ornamental use. Sorry, I can't sell this one."

"... is that right? But on the other hand, other than those two, you can sell them here, right? Yeah, I don't mind if I go directly to a store in town, not a guild, of course."

Ray nods as he leans his neck inside to the woman's words.

If it's a guild, naturally you want to sell it from the guild if the Marchelle and Levisole families are collecting demon stones. Because that will also be the guild's revenue. So the woman's word that you can sell it outside of the guild makes Ray question it.

Most importantly, this also has to do with Exil's current situation, which is that there are not enough demon stones in absolute numbers.

There is still room in the Demon Stone inventory right now, but if the Demon Stone is bought at the same pace, there is also the possibility that sooner or later there will not be enough to turn it to a magic item. Therefore, the idea was to make up for the shortfall by flowing a little demonic stone into the market.

Regardless of Elaine, who understood the woman's thoughts from her education as a nobleman, Ray accidentally tried to ask the woman...

"Don't be ridiculous! Damaged over here because of you!? Yet you're too greedy for rewards!?

Such anger echoes into the guild.
