Legend

Even as summer is coming to an end, the heat is still harsh at night.

Although temperatures were just dropping compared to the midsummer months, such things had nothing to do with those rolling out into the city at night.

Drink and make a scene in the tavern just to blow the heat away, or head out to the whorehouse in search of a woman's soft skin.

It's still early in the night. Ray was walking one person around the city to the wheat pavilion at dusk.

It's not that complicated to go to the Lords' Hall before the sun sets, but it took so long. Because Elaine and Dusker needed to exchange information about this Bestian Empire, or discuss how we might proceed, and how each other's faction - Elaine's father's faction, to be exact - might be involved in this matter.

There were other stories about Holy Light, which had been insidious in Exil, that came up on the subject, and how to respond if Holy Light came into the Guild.

As a result, dinner was to be eaten in the Lords' Hall, and it was cooked with high-ranking monster ingredients, so Ray had no particular complaints.

My only feelings are...

(I hope Seto isn't obstinate)

I whine inside and look up at the sky.

The clouds that cover the moon take away my eyes for seconds or so...

"Ah! There he is! Ray, it's you, Ray, you!

Second, I'm drawn back to consciousness by that voice I hear from behind me.

Light footsteps rushing towards me at the same time and the sound of a jump on the ground called Tan.

In the next moment, the weight and softness hanging on your back.

Still, when I turned my gaze toward the weight without losing my posture, it was a familiar cat beast woman there.

He was the guild's receptionist and looked like Kenny with a flashy look on his face.

"Hey, if you suddenly jump, you're in danger for Mr. Ray, too!

Footsteps approaching a little late.

One girl with a serious look on her face came into Ray's gaze as he turned around with Kenny stuck to her back.

Naturally, this one was also a facial acquaintance to Ray.

It's Lenora, who's a receptionist in the guild, just like Kenny.

"... Long time no see, Mr. Ray. Kenny has inconvenienced you. Look, Kenny. Get off Mr. Ray!

"Uh... 'Cause it's been a long time, Ray, isn't it? This is how you replenish the ingredients, Ray. Weird... huh? Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?

Even as I return my words to Lenora, I smell the smell by putting my face closer to my back to see if something about Ray bothered me.

"Do you smell like a woman who doesn't know anything?

Kenny turned his jittery gaze toward Ray, but Lenora, watching it, sighs small and spins words to forgive.

"That's right. Mr. Ray was in Labyrinth City, wasn't he? Naturally, there are other adventurers, so some of them must have been female adventurers."

"Um, it doesn't smell like that... Ray, do you have any idea?

Asked by Kenny, Ray shrugs his shoulders small as he slowly takes his gaze off.

"I've been involved with various adventurers. Naturally, some of them were female adventurers."

"Really?"

"Maybe."

While returning the words briefly, past Ray's brain was a shrewd woman with the alias of General Princess and a luscious battle freak surrounded by thin clothes like dancers and hookers.

"Hmm...... good, though. Rather than that, Mr. Ray, we were talking about having dinner with Lenora, don't you think?

He was Kenny, who set his suspicious gaze on Ray's attitude for a moment like that, but he immediately changes the subject and asks.

If you try Kenny, it would have been more important to actually get along with Ray than a new rival who also doubts if he's there.

Ray nods small, although he was having dinner in the lord's hall some time ago, and still has plenty of room.

"Right, right. I want to see how Seto's doing, so I can stay at the inn."

"Of course there's no problem. Hey, Lenora?

"Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. I want to hear about Ray."

Chirali, and Lenora grinning at Ray.

As for Lenora, who thinks of Ray like her brother, I guess it's honest that she still cares about what experience Ray has had in Exil.

The story of eating at the wheat pavilion at dusk is well settled, and the three of them start walking even as they take them.

"Still... that's not what I could have said, isn't it a little late for dinner at this hour?

Not so many people eat in this world early at night and early in the morning at a time when the sun is completely down.

Most people drink alcohol in a tavern, and there are quite a few people who work all night eating at night.

But Kenny was waiting for Ray to say something, and he snorted.

... In doing so, I guess it's the experienced Kenny late on that road that's subtly intertwining his own arms in Ray's arms.

"It is. It seems there was a settlement of goblins behind the woods along the street. You know, calculating the rewards for the party that crusaded it, buying materials, demon stones, redeeming crusade proof sites. Besides, it was not until the evening that the report was made..."

"Oh well."

To Kenny's full-breasted sensation of hitting his arm, Ray headed to the wheat pavilion at dusk as he blushed his thin cheeks to be pulled.

"... what the hell happened? No, I can convince you, but you say you don't want to..."

Ray groans at the sight that exists ahead of his sight.

"Ah, haha. There were a lot of people who said they wanted to see Seto, so it was a possible situation."

Even as I return that to Ray's words, Kenny's mouth is smiling bitterly.

"Wow... I don't know what to say, wow... that's amazing"

Lenora squeaks in a frivolous manner.

At the end of those three sights is near the stables of the wheat pavilion at dusk.

It's not as much a place for people as it should be, but there are nearly 20 people here today.

Back at the wheat pavilion at dusk, Rays called out to General Lana in an attempt to eat quickly… At that time, they heard that many residents were gathering in search of Seto.

"Sure, as far as this goes, you were right to let Seto out of the stables"

"Well, that's true. If you put that many people in the stables, you'll definitely get excited and violent horses first."

That's how Lenora squeaks as she snorts at Ray's words.

"And at the center... as it should be, Mileyne,"

Seto sleeping under the moonlight in an open space in front of the stables. There were several lights around it, and in that light Mileyne gave Seto dishes such as skewers, sandwiches, or stewed meat, or stroking them.

Other faces love Seto thoughtfully to feed and stroke Seto.

It would be the wizard who magically created the lights present around Seto, breathing a small sigh of sigh a little further away.

It's Sulnin, the person who acts as a stopper to hold off Mileyne's rampage by turning him into a party burning wind wizard led by Mileyne.

The three get closer to Sulnin, not Mileine, who is obsessed with Seto.

What I have in my hand is a sandwich I left from Lana.

It's what I received asking you to give it to the pulled out sulnin.

"Long time no see."

"Oh, Mr. Ray. And Mr. Lenora and Mr. Kenny."

"Evening."

"That's a lot going on over there, too."

Lenora and Kenny also greet each other with a small grin and lowering their heads to Sulnin.

Probably the biggest victim in this case. To the poor wizard.

To such a victim, Ray hands over the sandwich he had.

"Look, it's from the general. Eat this and cheer up."

"Sorry.... no, I'm really sorry"

My first apology was that you brought me a sandwich. And a second apology would be for Mileine, who is ahead of Sulnin's gaze, needless to say.

"Well, you know, I've been expecting this since I got back in the Guild."

"Um, sure. Mr. Mileyne, I haven't been well in a while."

As Lenora sits on the grass on the ground and spreads the sandwich prepared for her, Kenny also lowers his back to the grass while agreeing to it.

Around the exact line next to Ray, I guess if I say it sounds like Kenny who doesn't miss the chance.

Lenora reaches for the sandwich as she turns her gaze somewhere spooked by such colleagues.

"Oh, there's hardly any worms in there."

"They're decent when it comes to measures around there. Look over there."

At the end of Sulnin's gaze is a cylindrical object about 1 m high present beside the stables.

It lights a bright light to the point of losing to the moonlight.

"It is a magic item for insect repellents to prevent animals and submissors in the stables from getting tired because of insects, or from getting irritated and rumbling. Some places have similar magic items in their regular inns, especially since this evening wheat pavilion has a large stables. I'm sure it's important around here."

"Heh."

It wasn't Kenny who raised an impression on Sulnin's explanation... nor Lenora, Ray.

……

Kenny and Lenora face each other accidentally and silently to that appearance.

Eventually Kenny opens his mouth in such a way as fear.

"Hey, hey. Ray, you've been staying at this inn for over a year. And yet you didn't notice that magic item?

"No, well..."

Bring the sandwich to your mouth to deceive you.

It looks like a sandwich made from freshly baked bread, and the bread is still sitting and soft. It has sweet and spicy boiled chicken and toothy leafy vegetables, and it tastes like it could be eaten.

"Delicious"

"... hmm. Well, I'm hungry, too. Let's eat."

That said, what Kenny reached out for was something that burned a dried river fish and untied itself and pinched it.

Are you sure? Lenora asked with a gaze, but Kenny carries the sandwich to her mouth without any concern.

(It's also a good woman's condition not to pursue more troubled men than necessary. Most of all, if that was about another woman, it would be different.)

While thinking inside like that, sending Lenora her gaze.

"Hey, Mr. Ray. You're back from Labyrinth City, which means you're in the Guild for a while?

It was Lenora asking, eating a small bite of vegetable and ham sandwich, but the response to that was to shake her neck silently.

Pour the sandwich in your mouth with water and then open your mouth again.

"I think I'll probably leave the guild again soon. I'm in a bit of a mess."

"Huh? You're lying, right? You're back in the corner, and you're going again?

Looking like a cat beast, Kenny, who was licking the sauce on his hand with Peroli, asked unexpectedly so.

Sulnin, who was listening to the story, also has a surprise look.

Most importantly, in the case of Sulnin, Ray's trip means that Seto will be gone at the same time, and I wonder what will happen to our party leaders at that time.

(No way, I'm going after Ray for Seto... That means...)

No. I can't say enough of that, I guess, because there's still a look of Mireine playing with Seto with a look that makes her wander at the end of her gaze.

But even for Sulnin, Mileyne's stopper, we can't help but decide that going after Ray is dangerous in many ways.

Because Ray, who in many ways has different digits of combat power from ourselves, deliberately tells us it's a hassle.

"There was a lot going on in Eggzil. That's what could be a pretty nasty thing to do if you're bad."

"... can't you ask me what that hassle is?

He was Kenny asking as he moved his cat ear pimply, but Ray shut up and shook his neck sideways and refused to do so.

Sometimes talking about myself going to the Bestian Empire at this point just made me worry about knowing how much I stood out in the Spring War.

"Still, me and Seto are all here. There are other collaborators. With that in mind, I don't think you have much to worry about."

Carry a sandwich packed with ham and cheese into your mouth wondering if this is still the case and dare to continue the words in a light tone.

"Besides, one of these days you might know what I'm doing, so if you're curious, I want you to take your time."

Definitely more topical than my appearance at the Martial Arts Games in the Bestian Empire.

It wouldn't be such a long story for things to flow all the way to Gilm around there.

He told Kenny and Lenora, and Sulnin, who looked worried while eating a sandwich.
