Legend

"Thank you, that was helpful. Well, what should I pay for the escort?"

Teevia bows her head toward Ray and Elaine when she comes out of the dungeon at times like if it's still noon.

Behind such a teevia, three men, Esetus, Nact and Gort, also bowed their heads very hard.

But Ray flaunts his shoulders and opens his mouth to the four of them.

"When I said escort, in the end, the monsters never showed up in the dungeons when they came back. I don't know if it's a good idea to get a lot of money for this.... What do we do?

To Ray's words like that, Elaine nods small as soon as she thinks for a few seconds.

"Right, so how about you join us tomorrow for free for the stripping of the material Ray was trying to do?

"... oh, I see. Maybe that's a good idea. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have it returned by labor than money."

"Grrrrrrrr"

"Cu?"

Seto agrees with Elaine's words, and yellows also honk to match them.

Most importantly, Seto agrees with you in the case of Yellow anyway.

"Stripping material?

I didn't know what Ray and Elaine were talking about... more accurately, I can understand what the story is about, but I don't know why it would be a substitute for the reward, etc., and Tibia leans her neck.

That was the same for the other three.

"Oh, it's not a difficult story. As you can see, our party is perfectly fine in a tactical sense, but we can't get around to stripping the monsters of their material after they've defeated them."

"I guess..."

Others nod at Ray's explanation, starting with Teevia as if he had said it by accident.

In fact, it was obvious that its combat power, which showed abnormal species and skeletons to its opponents, was incomparable with their own.

And it was also true that ordinary parties are mostly organized with more than four people and can be done quickly because of their number of people when it comes to stripping the material.

No matter how much you say it's extremely expensive in terms of combat power, it will naturally take longer to strip away than it is in the end just two parties, Ray and Elaine.

Because even if you can count more than enough as a force, you can't just strip away the material.

Most importantly, Teevia is somewhat wrong about this.

It is true that Ceto cannot strip the material itself, but the role of perimeter watchdog can be done.

And stripping the material… i.e. if you dismantle the monster, the smell of blood drifts intensely around you, which can also attract other monsters.

If there were a Seto kind of presence at that time, most monsters would notice its strength and fall back, or even if it did strike, they couldn't beat the Griffon of the Rank A monster, and as a result, they can safely strip away the material.

When Ray or Elaine explains what's going on around there, she nods with a look like she's finally convinced, including Teevia.

"So, you guys look and I think I know, but I have an item box. And inside the item box are tons of dead monsters who dived into the dungeon and defeated them. Of course, there's nothing more rotten or rotten than being in an item box, but it's hard to just strip away a ton of corpses from me and Elaine. I made a request to the Alliance."

"I see. That's why we're here to help you with that request instead of today's escort reward."

"Oh. You guys can't start exploring the dungeon right away on this one, can you? Then you can help me strip the material one day tomorrow.... What do you say?

To that word, I was lost for a few seconds. Teevia nods quickly and turns her gaze to three of her companions.

"What do you think? As far as I'm concerned, I don't think so."

"Right. Exactly when it comes to letting aliases escort you for free, it's a lot of bad news. I don't care if you get paid for stripping material."

"Has an alias?

To Nact's words, Esetus asks back in such a way that he doesn't know what it means.

It seems that Esetus was the only one who didn't know what Ray or Seto were like, and when Nact and Gort hit him in the ear, his face gradually turns blue.

You must have remembered what words you uttered against Ray.

But if you try it on Ray, it's not like you care about that much either. Because I understood that statement did not come from malice, but purely from the thought of fellow citizens.

That's why I only told him to come in front of Exil's main gate tomorrow morning at 9: 00 a.m. without saying anything more and break up on the spot.

Even if Teevia and the others blocked the wound with the potion Ray gave them, it didn't completely heal. I had to head to a clinic where someone who could use restorative magic was opening from now on, and even for the Rays, I heard about the request for stripping in the guild, and more importantly, I had to carry an anomalous species to the Silva family.

(Although, the latter is entirely at my convenience)

The demon stone of an abnormal species is very troublesome for Ray, who uses warcraft, so I would like the disturbance of an abnormal species to be accommodated as soon as possible.

It's not a scapegoat like the Levisole family, it's what it takes to capture the real killer.

"Ray, is it time for us to go too? Pretty early than usual, but if you think about putting your face on the Silva family, you'd better go to the guild a little earlier, wouldn't you?

Ray, who returned to me in such Elaine's words, gives a voice to Teevia and the others who are or are explaining the origin of Ray's alias with a small nod.

"I'm sorry, but we'll let you go with this. As I said earlier, tomorrow at 9: 00 a.m. in front of the main entrance to Exil. If you're coming, don't forget."

That's all I tell you, I wave to the four people who still have something to say and leave straight out of the square in front of the dungeon.

For a moment, it may not come tomorrow behind Ray's brain. I thought so, but the idea disappears in the next moment.

There is no clear reason. But we acted together for a short time before we left the dungeon and decided that there was no way to imitate it because of Teevia's courtship, Esetus' straightforward character, Nact's prudence, and the goodness of Gort's people.

And the fact is, the four people who were helped were not going to do any unfaithful imitations of the Rays who saved their own lives.

As usual, when Ray and Elaine go into the guild alone, sometimes it's almost noon, and I can barely see the adventurer.

Or maybe there were adventurers eating lunch if this guild had been co-located like a common guild, but the guild of Exil did not have a co-located tavern because of the number of adventurers it uses.

Rather than heading to the buying counter as usual, Ray and Elaine, who are in such a guild, head straight to the counter where they are accepting requisitions.

The receptionist there opens his mouth just in case he's surprised Ray showed up early just a few hours ago.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. I'm here about the request..."

"Oh. You've got a rank? What's the commission?

I thought it was a commission reminder and asked, Ray, but it was an unexpected reply to come back.

"Ah, yes. There's also that, but the hopeful have already arrived and 10 more contractors have been decided.... Well, I wish I could, would you like to recruit a few more? I've rubbed a lot because of the number of people."

The receptionist recalls when she affixed a request to the request board.

I guess it also affects that the time was only before 8: 00 and quite early in the morning. The adventurers who were listening to Ray and the receptionist accidentally arrived, and as a result they developed into beatings.

Still, the weapon was not used, I guess, because I just thought it would be unsavory to do that inside the guild.

There was an event that exhaled if you heard of a rational beating.

It was a casual request made by Ray, but if you think that the reward would be earned without any danger, it was enough to make that happen.

Or Ray with a deep red alias and a griffon ceto. And Elaine has the kind of beauty that attracts people's eyes regardless of gender. Many people decide they want to be familiar with these two and one on this occasion.

It is to be noted that there was no appearance of a yellow in it, probably because the yellow had left a message at the inn here recently due to the attack of the desert hierarchy.

But...

"I'm sorry, but I was able to gather manpower in addition to what I recruited at the request. Numbers are on time enough."

To the words, a few people who were clear ears about Ray and the receptionist around them sigh a sorry sigh.

If there is an additional call, this is the time. Those are the adventurers who thought so and waited.

The receptionist exhaled slightly in relief at such surroundings, but soon realized he had heard something he could not miss.

"Ugh, yeah?... By the way, really, by the way, will the manpower that Mr. Ray has collected be paid?

Ray shakes his neck sideways without any hesitation to ask that question, which for some reason even makes him feel sadly prepared.

"No, I don't plan on paying you. I mean, I helped an adventurer party in the dungeon that was about to be killed by monsters, and then I came back with an escort. Instead of that reward, I was asked to help me strip tomorrow. So I guess it's a reward to have them safely out of the dungeon."

To the words out of Ray's mouth, the receptionist exhales in relief.

If Ray had hired other adventurers independently here besides recruiting in the guild, and that meant paying the same amount of money there, first of all because there was undoubtedly a commotion going on.

If it were meant to be, it would never be problematic behavior. In a way, it is also close to a nomination request.

But that happened because the conditions were too good.

"Anyway, we won't recruit any more people this time, but if we keep diving into the dungeon, we won't be able to peel again in time, so I'll let you recruit a little more then. … However, since it is a monster in a deeper hierarchy now, I think it will take the skill and knowledge to strip the material."

"Yes, I know about that area. So the rank of the request, but it was purely stripping only, and even the most ranked monster was a rank C ground club, so I let it be rank D for this request. Would you mind?

"Oh."

"He said in the morning that there might be a few more..."

"No, because he was an undead opponent on the 16th basement floor. I didn't end up with a monster that stripped me."

Afterwards, look through the confirmation documents and pay a fee for the guild to complete all the formalities.

"Thank you"

"As I said earlier, I would ask for more monsters once again"

"Yeah, I'll be waiting for you"

I wave gently at the receptionist who bows his head, then leaves the guild... not to the buying counter.

"I knew you were here, too"

I nod to the receptionist, who greets me with a small grin, and quickly and exclusively takes the material obtained from this exploration out of the mistering.

That said, we were diving in the dungeon for about a few hours this time, and we plan to hand over to the Silva family the skeleton of an anomalous species that could be considered the biggest harvest ever. When that happens, only living armor can be sold to the Alliance. That's part of the armor, other than the Demon Stone.

"Unfortunately, that's all I have today. Tomorrow, you'll be buying them out in bulk as soon as you make a request."

"Is this... armor, is it? No, living armor?

Ray nodded at the person he was surprised to ask, turning his gaze toward the armor he was riding on the counter.

"It's the living room armor that came out on the 16th floor of the basement. I was able to take out the magic stone with little scratch on my armor."

"Um, is that living armor armor? Sure, there's hardly any scratches, and I can buy it at a high price... okay? The performance is also quite high, so it is usually used by the defeated person or sold to the weapons store."

"Oh, I don't mind. I'm a wizard, so I'm sorry about the hard to move full plate mails, and most importantly, they're not the right size."

Ray, who is largely short considering himself a human being in this world, is naturally limited to a certain extent in the kind of protective equipment he can equip.

In that sense, a dragon robe would fit the lay better than anything else, both in performance and height.

"Okay. So, who was the weapon that Living Armor was using...?

If I try to be a receptionist, that's why I asked because there is more demand for the weapon that the living room armor was using than the full plate mails that are more defensive but difficult to move...

You broke it during the battle.

Gently out of sight, I tell him so.

Such a ray, Elaine watched with a bitter smile.
