Legend

It is not the desert that extends to one side of sight...... Trees and greens thriving in and near water.

At first glance, it was a sight that I didn't think was a very desert hierarchy.

Of course there is sand. I somehow understood that the ground was made of sand on one side and that it was the oasis in the desert that was visible, because I stopped directly at the oasis in the upper hierarchy.

But...

"Does having an oasis still mean that the whole hierarchy is an oasis? Can you say that's a desert hierarchy? I checked on the map, but this is just how I saw it in person..."

"... for once, I knew it as knowledge because it was drawn on the map..."

Next to Ray, who shrugs, Elaine is also breathtaking not to think of the sight that came right into her eyes as she left the small room again.

As for the map, I bought it for the time being, so I bought it up to 20 floors underground. Only Elaine who manages it naturally knew about this hierarchy as well.

Even for Ray, he knew this was the hierarchy of oasis because he was looking at the map in advance, but he saw it in person with his own eyes and he thought it was different.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Can I go in the water? and Seto asks Ray.

I've been poking through the rocky desert, so my body has countless fine sand on it, and I guess I want to get rid of that dirt.

While understanding that, Ray shakes his neck sideways.

Even for Ray, I did feel like taking a break at the oasis in front of me. But there are promises to give the Vihelas and the others the Cyclops material, and above all, there are three cases where they are petrified by monsters that seem to be basilisk and stored in the mysteries.

With that in mind, it was Ray's decision that he still wouldn't be able to slow down here.

"Gru?"

No? and gently stroke Seto's head tilting his little neck as he turned his circular eyes, Ray opens his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but be patient with me today. I'll brush you when I get back to the inn."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Though it rang with sincere regret, Seto immediately looks forward to brushing and returns his heel as it is.

Ray and Elaine also returned to a small room with a magic formation as if they were going after it, moving straight out of the dungeon.

"A little later than usual, but, well, to this extent, it's within the margin of error"

Ray squeaks as he looks up at the sky where the sun is hiding just by the inbound clouds.

Confirm the approximate time knowing that there is no sign of the end of the summer yet in the blue sky like it falls out.

Slightly slower than the Rays always come out of the dungeon, as I said myself, but still at a time when there is some respite by evening.

It's about after 4pm.

"Well, the last one was an example, and it was a rush."

Basilisk, Ray nodded at Elaine, who spoke without her name, didn't seem to care that she was gathering the same gaze from the adventurers in the square in front of the dungeon, and took Elaine and Seto off their coats to the guild.

I usually only do about redeeming materials, but not today. There remains the task of handing over to Vihela and Bühne the material of Cyclops other than demonic stones and meat, and above all there was the matter of a stone statue for three, or three stone statues, on the body believed to have been killed by Jewel Sniper.

(You should talk to your guild about this)

Show the dungeon card to the gatekeeper as he whines inside and go outside and head to the guild.

"Okay, it's not that crowded yet."

I looked around in the guild hall and a soothing grunt leaked out of Ray's mouth.

Sure, if it's normal, it's not necessarily crowded in the guild this time of year, but there are a lot of exceptions to things.

Especially now that Schaffner is missing. It is not a situation where it can be said that the incident initiated by the Levisole family has completely subsided, and there were cases of unusual species appearing within the dungeon.

Given those, I can't say enough that even before the evening for any reason, the interior of the guild is absolutely empty, and there is a certain number of adventurers who, like the Rays, hate the crowd and pull it up a little early.

"Ah, Ray. You're back."

And unlike them, there were those who waited for the Rays from the beginning.

Elaine gives a slightly unpleasant look to the voice of Vihella, who has already taken off her coat and dressed her manly rich limbs in her usual dancer-like costume.

But since we were originally meeting at the guild, there's no reason to ignore it, and we go after Ray, who walked toward Vihera and Bühne.

"Apparently, your request has been successfully completed."

"Yeah. I handed over Jewel Sniper safely, too. What about you?"

"Well, we made it to the 15th floor underground safely..."

"Hmm?"

Beaune shrugs briefly about whether he had any doubts about Ray's words.

"There's been a lot going on. Regardless of that, is it now okay to hand it over as far as the material I was keeping?

"Yeah, please. Just now, the buyout counter is empty."

Chirali, and Vihera looking toward the buying counter of the guild.

Certainly there is not even one adventurer figure in front of the buying counter at the end of that gaze, and the guild official in charge lowers his head small, perceiving that he has been gazed at by himself.

As if you signaled it, the line goes toward the buying counter.

"I'm sorry, can you ask me to buy the material?

"Yes, I did. Does having Mr. Ray mean an item box?

Alliance staff to see where the material is at the time Ray arrives, sometimes already using it more than once.

"Ray, please"

Inspired by Vihera, Ray takes the Cyclops material out of Mystering one after the other.

Bones, muscles, skins, etc. are piled to the floor without surviving on the counter alone, gathering the gaze of the adventurers who were inside the guild.

"Is this... Could it be Cyclops!?

That's exactly what you should call a real job. Just look at the right ear of the crusade proof site, which was among the materials put out of the mysteries, or some of the characteristic horns, even if they are damaged, and instantly determine what monster they are.

"Yeah. I just got paid. Met you in the middle of a request. Just so you know, me and Beaune are acting like we're not taking Porter, so I left it to Ray."

"It's definitely the 14th basement, isn't it? Reports of cyclops appearing in that hierarchy... no, like it happened once some years ago. And even though you're a monster that's said to be at the top of the rank C monster, you've been well safe."

Alliance officials, who had thought about exploring their memories for a few seconds, turn their admirable glances to Vihela and Bühne and, on the contrary, to Ray and Elaine.

I guess you don't even think that Vihera defeated Cyclops alone.

"Hey, even Cyclops."

"Oh. I guess I should just say madman. At least I'll throw a party, but I don't want to fight Cyclops."

"Beaune's the Flaut guy, isn't he? Even bandits talk. So you're saying there's actually three left who fought? No, if it's deep red, I'm taking Griffon, so it's three and one....... hmm? If you take the Griffon of Rank A Monster, you can handle it if it's about cyclops?

"If that's what you think, you can come and taste Griffon and bring down Cyclops."

While listening to the voices heard from behind, Ray ends up removing a huge hammer with a pattern length of 3 m from the misting.

The other adventurers who saw it leaked more blurring, but without looking concerned about it, Vihella turned her gaze toward the Alliance staff.

"This is what it looks like as a material, okay?

"... This is a very fine hammer. Honestly, there's no demand for it to go on sale like this, is there?

"That's why I came here to sell it as a material, not to take it to the weapons store. I can't use this as a weapon on its own, but it looks like it's made of iron with a high degree of purity when viewed as a metal material, and it's not that bad?

A hammer that gathers a large crowd of adventurers and is therefore heavy enough for the floor of a sturdy guild to make a mistletoe noise without losing any hand.

If we could use this, that would be the only one with the same strength as Cyclops.

But if you think of it as a weapon material, it was true that it would be quite a price, since it is certainly made of iron of a fairly high purity, as Vihella put it.

(I wonder who made it? I don't think Cyclops has advanced blacksmith technology...)

Even while Ray thinks that way in the back of his brain, the material's actuarial is over, and several guild officials show up to take the material back.

The material was brought back without so much difficulty, but the hammer used by Cyclops was finally lifted by about 10 people and carried to the back.

"Well, thank you.... By the way, I ask this out of curiosity, what's wrong with the Cyclops demon stone? Even though most of the demon stone shortages have been eliminated in the Levisole family case, I'd like to buy the demon stone here if I can because it's not complete yet."

To the guild official who asks as he puts the gold and silver coins on the counter, Vihera looks to Ray as she receives the silver coins herself and hands the gold coins to Büne.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but as far as the Demon Stone is concerned, I'm off to Ray. If you want, you can negotiate for yourself."

"You know and say you don't sell demon stones that Ray hasn't basically got more than three of."

While sighing, nevertheless hanging a glimmer of hope, Alliance officials turn their gaze to Ray... silently shaking their necks sideways and inadvertently sighing.

"The one above tells me to buy as many demon stones as possible.... Well, fine. Ray and the others are selling the stones."

He groans deliberately to sound and turns his gaze to the adventurers who are in the guild with Chirali.

I guess some people had a lot on their mind. There were about a few adventurers out of sight gently.

"At all, I know that there is a lack of demon stones, so it would be helpful if you could dive more into the dungeons and bring me demon stones.... So, what can I do for you Rays? You want to buy some material?

"Oh. Of course there is... discover a little something in the dungeon. I want to talk to you about what to do with it."

Alliance officials snort at the words of such a ray with a surprising look on their face.

Anyway, it's not uncommon for a lot of strange things to happen in a dungeon, so a few people bring in things like Ray that they can't judge for themselves.

"Okay. Can you take it out for now?

"Are we good here? Well, it's pretty big."

"Yeah, I don't mind. It's not as big as that hammer, is it?

My colleagues, who took the hammer earlier, pass over the guild staff's brains.

Probably a muscle ache tomorrow. To the words I asked as I thought that way, Ray snorted.

"Not that far.... So, let's get it out?

Take out the three stone statues that were stored in the mistering, watching them nod to the last confirmation.

A fox beast woman, a total of three elves and a human man.

"... Huh?

Was it unexpected that a stone statue would just come out, or the guild staff would make a falling in love voice in a way that they didn't even think.

That was the same for the other adventurers who watched what would come next in the Cyclops material around them.

"Oh? This is a stone statue... no, you're not"

"Mmm."

To the words of Vihera, Bühne nods briefly.

The expression of fear that is floating for just a stone statue is truly too imminent, and the kind of clothing, armor, and weapon you are holding are also exquisitely carved.

"Hey, wait a minute. Could this be..."

Quickly the guild staff returned to me groaned, coming out of the counter and approaching the dreaded stone statue, making sure of its face as if to confirm something...... groaning unexpectedly.

"I knew it. These three were definitely missing and three of the empty bells that had been judged dead? Les, Mr. Ray, where the hell are these three?!?

To the words of the guild officials, Ray still gives a satisfactory look at the results half as expected.

It's unclear if the target is a basilisk, as I've judged, but I guess he was attacked by someone who had the power to petrify the subject anyway.

"On the 14th basement floor...... Elaine"

Decide that it would be hard to understand if you explained it in words, and turn your gaze to Elaine next door.

I guess that's all Ray understood what he was trying to say. Take the map from inside the magic pouch and place it on the counter.

"Here, when I went on a far-flung course in a few places where there were divisions... I found them around here"

At the location of the map shown, Alliance officials nod small and gaze at Ray and Elaine.

"Was it the 14th basement floor?... It was unexpected that they were in this hierarchy. Can I have a moment, please? They have a search request from a fellow member of the same party. I would like to say that I have accomplished your request..."

Ray has a subtle, unpleasant feeling about the words of the guild staff.

Regarding the corpse that was rolling on Jewel Sniper's side, the Alliance solemnly took it away without making any particular noise like a stone statue.
