Grosso, Kraj and Conomir each have their gaze on Ray, who overwhelmed themselves with incredible faces.
I regret losing a one-on-one mock fight, but I understand.
But even though we were three and we had one opponent, we lost almost nothing.
Just because we're new... especially the two of us, Grosso and Kraj, were just incredibly confident in our combat skills as newcomers.
……
But Kraj, who returned to me sooner than Grosso in that, quickly checks the surroundings.
Mileine, who told me to try to fight Ray, and two of its party members, Sulnin and Ekril, also look like Ray won and deserved it, and none of the other adventurers who were training on the training field have a particularly surprising look at Ray's battle.
(I mean, is that all he's got?
I know you didn't read the inside of such a kraj, but Mileyne slaps her hand and opens her mouth to get everyone's attention.
"Well, you've got a good understanding of your strengths, haven't you? And, as you can see, even if you look like him, it's not always as powerful as you see it."
"Mr. Mileyne, what the hell is he..."
I guess you decided you couldn't help but scorch any more into the confusing Kraj words. Mileyne looks straight at Ray and opens her mouth.
"Well, can't you help but wonder if I'll keep my name down forever? He's Ray. Rank B Adventurer. If you're going to be an adventurer in the Guild, that sounds familiar to you, doesn't it?
"Ray?... Ray? You know what?
I guess it didn't sound familiar, back to back with such Mileyne's words. Grusso asks to Kraj, who is next door.
But... that kraj, speaking, had his eyes and mouth wide open and his gaze turned to Ray with a stunned look on his face.
That's the same with Conomir, who usually has an odd look on his face. Currently only surprises come to mind.
"What's Ray the Rank B Adventurer... Deep Red!?
"Ha!?
To that word, which was suddenly squealed next door, Grosso turned his gaze to Ray with a reflexively wide open eye.
Deep Red, because that's the name of an adventurer who worked so well to get two names in the Spring War.
It was exciting to hear rumors that Grusso himself had burned everything by himself against the Bestian Empire, which had waged war on the Kingdom of Mireana.
The deep red figure that Grosso imagined when he heard the rumor was the image of a big man with muscular bones, never more of a boy than a little man like the one in front of him......
Grosso wasn't the only one who thought so. The same was true of Kraj, who decided that Ray was a deep red, and the two Conomils.
"Uh... is this a joke or something?
Ekril opens her mouth with a small sigh of sigh to the crage asking how she was afraid.
"I know how you feel about that.... Didn't you see Griffon Seto near the guild when you came here? Ray hasn't been back in the Guild in a long time yesterday, so I think he was being pushed by people who adore Seto, even if not as much as Mr. Mileyne."
Chirali, and at the end of the word, Ekril turns his gaze and tells Mileyne.
What Mileyne is putting in Ceto is already an open secret… something that can't even be said.
I'm usually a pretty dependable party leader, but when Seto gets involved, I can't do it all at once.
If I suck, I like Seto too much, so much that I might say I want to marry Seto.
"Eh, so to speak, there was a crowd in the Alliance's exorcism space, but I was in a hurry to the training ground..."
"Oh, and with that said, there was definitely a crowd."
"... yeah"
When Kraj shrugs as he remembers what happened on his way here, the other two nod as they agreed to it.
"Mm, Cohon. That's what I mean. Ray, the rank B adventurer he has a genuine red alias.... It's a lot special in Ray's case, but it's clear that you can't judge just by appearance as an adventurer, right? Of course, contrary to Ray today, even a big, muscular man's actual arm can be a big deal."
It was Mileine who told me that she was trying to raise her reputation again, which fell on Seto's case, but the gaze of the three newcomers has already been directed at Ray.
With most adventurers retiring at Rank C and D, there are very few high-ranking adventurers such as Rank A and Rank B.
It could have been good luck for a rookie to see that high-ranking adventurer so close.
Especially in Ray's case, disliking the crowd and heading out to the guild is even more unfortunate because normal adventurers are out of time to gather in the guild.
"Well, I heard that Deep Red uses a giant sickle more than his height as a weapon..."
"Hmm? Oh, this is it"
Ray receives the kind of gaze he expects somewhere in Kraj and takes the death size out of the mistering.
Three eyes open again to the Great Sickle, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"This is... the big sickle of a deep red swinging reaper"
"Big enough to compare my Battleax or something..."
"Phew."
Alongside the griffon ceto, the Great Sickle is known as the symbol of deep red.
Sickles are just never an easy weapon to use, and very few people use them. So seeing the Great Sickle so close is not the first thing as long as you are normally an adventurer.
"... hmm?
That's how I put the Death Size on three - as well as the other adventurers on the training ground - Ray, who was showing it, accidentally notices a figure walking faster towards me.
The characteristic cat ear and flashy face on top of his head quickly made Ray understand who it was.
(Kenny?)
Yes, the person was Kenny, who was also the guild's receptionist.
I guess the Mileynes noticed that too. Turn your surprise gaze toward Kenny, but the person speaks toward Ray, fully flushing it.
"Ray, you, Ray. There's a call for you. He wants us to come to the Lords' Hall as soon as possible."
"To the Lords' Hall?
Surprised by the words, it was the newcomers threesome who turned their gaze reflexively toward Ray.
Mileyne and the others already knew that Ray was quite close to Dusker, but even to Kraj, the nobleman's blood muscle, he didn't know Dusker, the lord of the Guild.
"... I see"
Ray squeaks without the way he cared about such a surprise glance.
Because I could imagine the general reason why I was called in.
Perhaps there has been some progress in the matter of the Bestian Empire.
"Maybe this is what you were talking about, Ray?
"That's the place. Bad, Mileyne."
"Yeah, I don't mind. I've seen enough about mock warfare. I don't know what you're doing right now, either, but be careful."
So once the words are punctuated, the words continue in tones that inadvertently make you feel intense pressure.
"Okay? Ku... Gu... but don't let Seto hurt you. If you imitate that... you know what I mean, right?
"Uh... oh, I know. I know. Don't worry, I'll be very careful around here."
Tell him so to be pushed by the mysterious pressure emanating from Mileyne, and leave the training ground early when he stores the death size to mysterious.
"Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Ray. I'll be with you on the way."
Kenny follows the scene because he wants to walk with Ray, even just a short distance from the training ground to the guild.
... but it also had the purpose of avoiding the pressure being exerted by Mileyne.
"... well. Ray's gone, too, and shall we do what we have to do? I've said it many times, but don't judge the strength just by how they look. It's the easiest trap to fall into when you're a rookie."
"Huh? Um, Ray now...... no, is that okay with you about Mr. Ray?
Kraj asks that unexpectedly to Mileyne, who proceeds as a matter of course, but the only response he came back with was silent and out of sight.
"Well, he's out of standard in many ways. In time, you won't mind."
This one too, Sulnin told with a distant eye for some reason, and the three newcomers who decided that going any further would not be a busy thing to do, shut up and focus their awareness on the precautions about tomorrow's goblin crusade.
"What? Crusading bandits...... is it?
Returning to the Lords' Hall, Ray unexpectedly asks back to the unexpected words that came out of Dusker's mouth.
I just thought it was more about the Bestian Empire than I was suddenly summoned, because the matter was about the bandit exorcism that had nothing to do with it.
"That's right. I don't know if Ray knows, but there's a big band of bandits out in Abu Ero's neighborhood right now. Apparently it's flowing from somewhere else."
"Surely there will be a lot of flavors when it's on the edge, so I don't know..."
Monsters and materials that exist only on the perimeter, or magic items and weapon protective equipment that use them. Merchants and merchants carrying substitutes such as meat from other very delicious high-ranking monsters would be nothing but superb prey if they tried to be bandits who wanted to make money by making it easier.
Powerful monsters exist if they are the closest to the border, and it is not uncommon for merchants or adventurers to be hired as escorts.
Banditry at the border was what could only be described as a high-risk high return.
"But aren't they sending knights and guards? The guards at the main gate told me that Langa was being sent."
"Exactly. But he seems to be quite skilled just to move on from himself and come to the border. Above all, they have quite a bit of mobility, and the crusaders haven't been able to make contact yet. I want that reinforcement.... I don't know what to say instead, but you can take whatever you want out of the luggage that the bandits will be storing.... naturally there are limits."
"I see... is that the reward? Sure, that's good for me, too."
Dusker nods at Ray's words, who shrugged.
"That's right. It is a substitute for the merchants and travellers who came to the border. Naturally, there will be many things of considerable value.... but you're not that obsessed with money. You want a magic item like the magic tent I did."
Tell him that much and turn a meaningful gaze toward Ray like he noticed something.
"Right. Certainly more interested in magic items than things like gold and silver..."
"Hmm, then... what do you say? You're a bandit attacking the border, so there's a good chance you'll have a magic item of your choice, right?
"Right..."
Ray worried about Dusker's words.
It's fascinating in terms of magic items, of course, but I wasn't going to say no already in the sense of giving back to Dusker for all the things I've done so far.
Even considering the speed of travel between Ceto, which can travel through the sky, and Vihella and Theorem, which travel through the ground, there would still have been much leeway.
"However, it would be helpful if you could take the form of a nomination request through your guild in this case."
"Okay, let's get our hands on that area."
Listening to Ray's words, Dusker weighs himself on the back of the desk and exhales in relief.
Because there was no doubt that it would be troublesome for Gilm, a peripheral, if the bandits were to suffer a lot and the merchants would not come.
But the end of the bandits had already been decided, even more so than the presence of Ray put out.
"Give this to Langa. That way they'll understand the situation."
That's what I told him, and one letter was placed on the desk.
"You're ready for a long time. You didn't think I'd say no?
"Ray, who has a hobby of collecting magic items, didn't think he'd miss the opportunity to get them."
Ray laughs bitterly at Dusker, who just tells him that your hobby is prospective, and stores the letter in Mistering.
"Okay. Now, as soon as possible, let me head to Abu Ero."
"... oh, I asked"
He bowed his head small to Dusker, who had a look on his face as Larks Borderline Uncle, and Ray was leaving the office.
