Legend

The day after I talked to Bosc at the guild. That day was the first bad weather I could say since the Rays came to Exile.

Black rain clouds are covering the sky, and the weather is still likely to rain heavily, with moisture mixed with the air flowing throughout the city.

I even felt such a bad edge, as if it symbolized the future of the nomination request that we were about to make - and that is the case in form.

I don't know how I felt about Ray like that, but Elaine leaning her little neck and gazing at Ray as she walked toward the dungeon.

Note that normally there are no yellow figures on Elaine's left shoulder or on Seto's back today.

Anyway, there was no better way to bring him in than to watch him get hit by the heat from yesterday's action in the desert. Perhaps by now he'll be enjoying his sleep around the quarters, or giving a little bit to other obedients and horses like Seto, who are gone and relaxed.

(Dragon species are supposed to be superior to Griffon. Is that it? Difference between children and adults. No, well, if you think about it purely in the days since birth, then neither Ceto nor Yellow should make a difference)

Thinking that way, I shake my head and look up at the sky again saying it was nothing to Elaine looking at me.

"I just thought I didn't like the weather that's going to rain now."

"... do you? We dive into the dungeon, so it wouldn't hurt that much if it rained here, would it? There's no way it's gonna rain enough to pour into the dungeon."

The word 'guerrilla heavy rain', which I saw on TV several times when I was in Japan for Elaine's words, passes behind my brain. There was a situation where heavy rain continued to fall for a short time and rainwater poured into stores in the basement as a result...... but that wouldn't happen if there were just about the size of a dungeon.

(No, it'd be nice to have rain pouring in the desert hierarchy after 11 floors underground, though)

Buy Lizardman skewers at the stalls you always stop by while thinking about ridiculous things on the inside.

He had a convincing look on his face when the shopkeeper told him that he was vulnerable to desert heat because he was just a kid because he didn't have to hide anything in particular, although he was inclined to look like a yellow.

"Ray! You have Elaine, too"

Ray and Elaine, who showed a dungeon card to the gatekeeper and moved to the square in front of the dungeon, are suddenly called out that way.

Once I heard it, I turned my gaze toward that voice that I would never forget, and there was a person there as I expected.

He wears a thin coat that looks transparent across him in multiple layers of costumes, revealing many of the attractive limbs to the extent that they can be seen or not, while wearing armor and toenails on both hands and feet.

Whatever your armor or toenails are, make it Ray. Make it Elainea, there was only one person I knew who was dressed in confusing clothes with a dancer.

Ray smiles bitterly, and Elaine sighs a flashy exposed woman approaching herself...... welcoming Vihera.

"What do you mean you're here, maybe Ray asked for the Silva family too?

"Wait a minute. Why do you only speak to Ray? I'm here, too."

"... oh, there was Elaine too. I didn't realize Ray was crazy about me."

"... Hmm? Seems like you called my name properly earlier?

Leaving the two people scattered with invisible sparks intact, Ray turns his gaze to the person who has followed Elaine.

I was just wondering if I could hang out with the crazy talking fights, ignoring the Rays and heading straight under Seto to the 10-year-old girl stroking her head.

"Beaune looks good, too.... but okay? Your house and the Silva family have a lot to do with it."

"Mmm!"

Beaune replies just one word with no expression, as usual, while stroking Seto's head with no problems.

As a Bühne individual, there are places where I think of the Silva family because they have been solicited by Bosc himself for a number of forceful parties. But even with that in mind, I decided to take this request because it was a fairly high reward - including a reward for success - and Vihella told me that she would act with me.

But he didn't imitate it to his expression, he just caressed Seto's head in silence.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto doesn't hate being stroked by Beaune either, and he sounds his throat happily.

But even as Büne strokes Seto's head, he looks at Ray somewhere dissatisfied.

The expression hasn't changed, but it's probably proof that Ray's getting so close to Büne that he could still feel the atmosphere of dissatisfaction.

Whatever Bühne was unhappy with, it was obvious to see his left hand empty while stroking Seto with his right hand.

"I'm sorry. Yellow is still a child and the desert is hot, so I'm off at the inn today."

"... n"

Beaune, who groaned unfortunately back at Ray's words, strokes Seto's face using his free left hand as well.

Next to Ray and Buune, who, while not expressionless as such, was creating a somewhere really clear atmosphere, there was still a dispute over what Elaine and Vihella had to say.

"By and large, we're heading to the desert hierarchy, but what's that outfit? Don't you have a coat or something?

"Of course I'm bringing it. Here."

Turn your gaze to Elaine's words to someone who was in a slightly remote position.

A middle-aged man in his 40s with muscles to see. A typical porter, carrying a giant backpack on his back.

He is wearing a coat himself, and has two coats in his hand. It was clear whose those two coats belonged.

"You know what? You hired a porter. No, there's a lot of porters when you try this."

Elaine looking around, but the number of porters who came into that view was close to 20.

At the same time, there are many more adventurers.

"So many people will participate in today's crusade request?

"That's right. If you defeat an anomalous species, it's two white gold coins, and you're allowed to own the monster you defeated by the time you find that anomalous species. Besides, I'm talking about buying them out for more than the guild. And one gold coin in advance. Besides, this request comes directly from the Silva family, one of the three houses that rule Exil. Of course, it takes a certain amount of merit and strength to get this request, but if you think that the Silva family and Conne can do it, most of the people who have been interviewed will."

"Ning Ro, as far as I'm concerned, I'm surprised you got the request."

Chirali, and Elaine whining as she turned her gaze toward Vihera.

But Vihera smiles with a small smile over her shoulder at how Elaine looks like that.

That was all there was to it, but its huge breasts swayed loosely, nailing the gaze of the men around it.

Most importantly, he was already accustomed to that kind of gaze, so he didn't seem to care about it at all.

Or it might have been different if someone had tried recklessly to dictate Vihera, but the adventurers on this occasion were mostly those with more than a certain strength, and therefore most knew about Vihera, called the Mad Beast, and even those who did not know could understand Vihera's strength.

Therefore, I guess it would have been nice to think of an upcoming request that no tragedy should have occurred that would have been caused by those who dazzled the beauty and limbs of Vihela, arguably a sprinkler to attract the battle.

I would have wondered if I could have done that in front of Seto, who is a Griffon, even if I didn't know who he was or didn't know he was.

Vihera unwittingly tongues about such a situation because she understands that it is those with some strength who gather around her.

(The abnormal species are strong. Maybe you should think you can fight that way)

We divert our gaze from adventurers who are gazing at us without giving us any expression.

Without realizing what such a vihella looks like, Elaine once again turns her gaze to the adventurers around her.

Elaine has a magic pouch, and Ray, who's partying, has an item box. For that reason, there's no problem at all with no Porter kind, but ordinary adventurers basically bring Porter unless there's some special circumstance - such as having difficulty communicating with one another like Büne, or even sparing the reward of paying Porter, etc.

Even for Vihera, a dungeon is a place to enjoy the battle, and the idea is that when it comes to money, I don't want to have any trouble with my daily life, so I didn't bring Porter with me when the two of us were partying. However, even though this request is carried by the client, the Bosque Hand, regarding the target Spear Frog, we must carry the monster material and demon stones that we have defeated by then.

Once you have some material and demon stones, as usual, you may or may not return to the ground... but in that case you risk defeating Spear Frog, who is also your biggest target, by other adventurers. After thinking about them, I guess this is the only time I'm going to hire a porter.

"But if Ray's here, maybe he didn't have to hire a porter."

"It's not like we're gonna act with you."

That's what Elaine tells Vihera, who realizes that for some reason she's supposed to act with Ray, but she walks over to Ray, where she talks to Bhune all the time about the breeze she blows.

"Hey, Ray. Why don't you join us in today's request? Even for Ray, you'd rather have a charming beauty like me on your side, wouldn't you?

"... Well, I don't know"

It's true that Vihera looks very neat, and she's definitely a beauty who goes into three fingers among all Ray has ever seen. But it is also true that there is one aspect of being a beauty and a combat fanatic who likes to fight at the same time. And the biggest reason for Vihera's favor toward Ray is more than there is, because of how attractive she looks and how many limbs she likes men, she couldn't possibly ride that invitation in a detour.

Most of all, the fear in Elaine's eyes is why Ray can't help Vihera.

(In the first place, you're publicly stating that you can entrust your body to someone who beats you. I'm pretty sure the favor that Vihella has for me isn't a favor between men and women, it's just a favor as a subject to enjoy the fight)

"... mmm..."

Beaune leans her neck without changing her expression to that of Vihella.

If we can defeat the abnormal species on our own, the money will be split between the three of us, no matter who we hire as porters.

But if you act with the Rays, you'll make less money, but you'll rise overwhelmingly in battle. And there's Ray with the item box, so he won't have to bother hiring Porter either.

It was a very troubling choice, but what Büne eventually chose was to shake his neck sideways towards Vihella.

If you try to be a Bühne, you just need to be able to defeat the abnormal species in the party. And as for Bühne, who knows the fighting power of Vihela, I am convinced that he has enough fighting power to defeat abnormal species.

Besides, Büne herself isn't that high in direct combat, but I'm confident in her lightness as a bandit. I knew my own strength, not pride, that I would be able to poke at the enemy's void and ambush him or provide cover for Vihera.

"Really? Well, if you don't like Bühne, you can't help it, so I give up."

Even for Vihella, I would like to act with Ray and Elaine if I could… More precisely, it was a suggestion I made out of my desire to see that fight up close, but I give up that if my partner Bühne refuses to do so, I will not do so.

(Plus there's no point in watching these two fight up close if they can't stand it anymore...)

I whine inside, and at that moment I remember fighting Ray or Elaine's battle I saw in a dungeon in the back of my brain, or Ray as the moonlight poured down.

"Oh......"

A tranced look that floated for a moment. Fortunately, it was only for a moment that it was floating, so no one would ever see it, but how it would have felt if someone had seen it.

You'll either fall in love as if you've been deprived of your soul by too much luster, or you won't be able to move when you realize the dangers of that laugh.

"If you received a request from the Silva family, please gather here! Register for each party and have it moved from the person it's done to the basement 11th floor! Rewards will be collected and paid after today's exploration!

One guild clerk screams near the dungeon, and the adventurers who hear it head all the way there as quickly as possible.
