Legend

"It would have been hard in this sudden rain. We can only entertain a small village for a few minutes, but please come to the house of Non. Others, I'm sorry, will have to go around to the inn for about half..."

Dusker shakes his head saying he has no problem with an old man in his 60s who comes down with his head looking sorry.

"I'm sorry I pushed you so suddenly this way. I also appreciate the arrangements regarding the accommodation. This is a thank you for your help. Take it."

Tell him so and give him a few gold coins.

The old man who sees it, the village chief of this village, opens his eyes small and receives gold coins.

Although it was a sudden visitor, it was definitely because I decided it would be positive in terms of income and expenditure.

It was unexpected luck for a village chief to earn so much money just by renting out meals and beds.

Most of all, I guess it will be more in the form of a half fold than I entrusted the innkeeper with half of a row of daskers.

"I would be grateful to receive it. Please take the night off as we welcome you as much as we can. This rain will stop by tomorrow."

"I hope so.... Now, hurry up, but show your men to their rooms. I've been walking in this rain, so I'd like to give it a rest. Elk, do you have anything from you?

He was a dusker who spoke to the elk waiting near him as an escort, but when he saw him shake his head saying nothing in particular, he was led to his room in the house of the village chief, who was also large in the village.

Meanwhile, around that time, Ray and the other knights, who were put through by the inn, quickly wipe their wet bodies with a cloth prepared just for them.

……

Ray has a slightly worrying look as he hears it raining.

Because it was not that big a village, naturally the lodging was not that big and the stables were quite small.

There was already little free space to accommodate a row of military horses and horses in use, and there was no place for Seto to rest.

I also came up with a proposal to use a stables in other houses, which means that there are animals there, starting with cows and horses.

And Seto is sensed and instinctively scared of differences in the character of being in ordinary animals.

Or it would have been otherwise if the animal had disappeared and been an empty stables, but unfortunately nothing was as convenient as that... as a result of discussions between the village chief and Dusker, Seto was to spend the night outside the village tonight.

Most of all, it was a shame that I couldn't be on Ray's side if I tried Ceto, but it seemed easier outside than being forced into a narrow place, and I just flew a rainy sky up my ass with the village chief with an sorry look on his face.

It's not like there's anything in particular. I knew there was nothing to worry about but Ceto, but I still remembered some anxiety.

"No, I know it doesn't make sense to worry here,"

The knight, who was wiping his wet body in the same way nearby, turns his gaze to Ray's whining, who mouthed in unintentional fashion.

And when I returned word that it was nothing, and finished a slightly earlier meal at the inn as it was, there was no longer anything left to do.

Dusker tells me to take a break from my bone break until I leave tomorrow, so each of us has a free time.

"I guess I got lucky. If you're on your way to the village chief's house, you'll have an escort job."

"But this little village, huh? It won't be a raid or anything, and I don't think there's any elk over there to worry about."

"... no, there was just a mob raid last night, how can you be so comfortable?

"It's only because there was a raid yesterday. It's not like there's been a raid for two days."

"Remember we were there when it happened?

Tell the knight to whine at ease so that the elderly knight can be embarrassed.

I'm pretty sure I'll stand up for it more than I'm following as an escort to Dusker. But still young but therefore often optimistic.

While watching those knights exchange, Ray thought of Seto, who would be hunting monsters and wildlife in the rain to fill his belly.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

A wild rabbit who instinctively perceived the danger and escaped, although he may not have felt Seto's presence. Using the Devil's Eye of Impact on that rabbit's escape path, Seto narrows his distance at a moment when he stops moving, blowing straight to the side with a blow on his forefoot, hitting the tree trunk and stopping him.

If you take a serious blow out, it turns it into a piece of meat instead of finishing it, so the blow that was taken out was quite a handful.

Still, if it was a rabbit about 30 cm long that was attacked, it would be impossible to survive even with that degree of blow, lightly crushing the bones in your body and disappearing your life.

Put such a rabbit in your mouth with a cuckoo.

"Gru."

Sometimes the rabbit itself isn't that big, it's only a snack instead of filling the belly.

Keep looking for other prey and look around...... unexpectedly detect one person approaching the village in this rain.

If you were a regular person, you wouldn't have noticed the signs. But it wasn't people who were there, it was Seto.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

But Seto leans his neck unexpectedly, observing his approaching opponent.

I would still be in my 20s at my age. They also seem to be working out somewhat, but still didn't seem to be able to do anything about the existence of elks and rays that are protecting the Dusker... more precisely.

No, on the contrary, arms to such an extent as whether you can defeat one even against the knight of the escort.

When that happens, or I'm about to decide if I've come looking for a rainfall place just like the Rays... I notice a smell I remember from that woman.

"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrrrr!

Understanding whose smell it is, Seto flies out into the rain sky with wings flapping after a few steps of help as it is.

The momentum of the rain hitting the body is quite strong, but for Seto it just feels unpleasant and doesn't get in the way of action.

Flying in such a rainy sky, we head to the woman heading for the village...

"Huh!?

Seto had already landed right behind the woman when she sensed signs of approaching toward her.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

It was Seto asking with her throat ringing, but the woman could only breathe in the look of Griffon, who suddenly appeared behind her.

Keep going against each other for a few seconds.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and to Seto tilting his little neck, the woman who finally returned to me hurriedly takes a dagger out of her nostrils.

I didn't mean to attack Seto.

Because targeting Griffon in the first place and attacking him with only a dagger is a reckless, or barbaric, action to be called through bravery.

Keep your face close to the dagger the woman offered you, for a few seconds so you can smell it.

The smell was faint because of the rain, but as soon as I activated my olfactory lifting skills, I knew that was the smell of the person I expected, and I throated in a good mood.

The woman wasn't able to communicate with Seto either, but I understood that the griffon in front of her was still not angry.

"Um, can I go to the village?

"Gru!"

Hear the woman's words and guide yourself! and Seto walking next to a woman all the time.

While confused by the appearance, he opens his mouth by remembering the words of the person who gave the order to himself by knowing that there was no harm to be done, and at the same time by appeasement.

"Oh, you're Seto, right?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Yes, and to the throat-beating ceto, the woman exhales in relief and smiles while slightly drawn under the hood she was wearing in the sense of rain shelter.

I did hear from my boss about Seto.

But still... for the first time like this, I couldn't tell Griffon not to be nervous in front of me.

Even though I had the pride of standing up quite well, I was confident that I would not be able to do it without a moment of hesitation if they told me to deal with a Rank A monster.

"Well. As you already know, I came here because His Highness Vihella and Lady Theorem told me to. Well, you know what I mean?

It was a subtle hip-pulling word, but I guess I should say that I'm just about done with Theorem's men.

"Gru."

I nod at the woman's words, and this way, I gently pull my robe with a couch and head to the village.

She was about to scream when the hem of the robe snapped, but when she succeeded in pushing it to death, she moved while being pulled by Seto.

Arriving straight to the entrance to the village, there was a figure of a villager acting like a village gatekeeper.

"Huh!?... Ah, oh. Sure is from that nobleman... what? Hey, what's up? You spend the night outside the village, don't you?

He was a villager who manages to tell him to hide his own tremors, but he hasn't hidden them all.

But you must have noticed that there was a woman right on its side, even as you were in a vanity against Seto. Open your mouth just lucky to distract you from Seto.

"What the hell are you? Are you one of those aristocrats?

"Yes, it is. That...... please give this dagger to Master Dusker. I'm sure that will guarantee my identity."

That's what I told him, the woman who hands the dagger out of her nostalgia to the villagers.

A villager who hears it as a dagger and solidifies for a moment.

But when he finds out that the dagger is stuck in his sheath, he exhales in relief so that the woman doesn't know.

As a young man yet, I guess I didn't want the woman, who is also quite beautiful, to look like a fool.

... but I couldn't hide it from a woman who's been working out under Theorem.

"Okay. Just give me a minute. I'll be sure in a minute!

"Oh, hey!

Upon receiving the dagger, the man runs straight into the village.

The woman who dropped it off exhales in a small way.

"What are you going to do with leaving me here? If I were a bandit trying to break into the village, it would be a fatal loss, wouldn't it?

He told him that as if he was scared somewhere and waited for the villagers to come back as he distanced himself from Seto.

And wait a few minutes with Seto. Waiting for a villager who won't eventually come back, silence becomes painful even as a woman.

There's Seto right around the corner. He stays silent, so I can't help but wonder.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

You were concerned about the unnatural appearance of such a woman, Seto honking her throat as she tilted her little neck.

She was a woman who stretched her body for a moment, but eventually turned her gaze softly toward Seto, understanding that it was not meant to cause any harm.

"Huh!?

A woman who unexpectedly retreats after a few steps to the gaze of staring at herself.

But if I kept my eyes shut, I would have understood that Seto was not harmful to me. Take one, two steps forward.

"His Royal Highness Vihella and Master Theorem said they weren't scared at all... but you're okay, aren't you? You're not gonna bite or scratch, are you?

Reach out softly as you whine.

If it was meant to be, it would be best to be at a distance that doesn't go away.

No matter how much I have been told by my esteemed Theorem and beloved Vihera that I am safe, I don't know what will happen.

But I can't stop the urge to look at Ceto with his circular eyes pointed at me, which makes me really want to.

The stretched hand approached Seto one by one...

"Hey, I got permission!

"Him!

I can unwittingly draw my hand when I hear voices from the village that I suddenly hear, and from the villagers who deposited their daggers earlier.

At the same time, a strange voice leaked from the woman, but fortunately she only heard herself and Seto who raised her voice and exhaled in relief.

When the villagers who have run arrive in front of the woman, they turn their gaze to the large house in the centre of the village.

"In the middle of that is the house of the mayor of the village where the nobles are staying. Do you have any guidance?

I want to talk to the woman for a little longer. It was a word out of that thought, but the woman shook her head at it.

"Guidance and nothing, this is how you see it, so you don't need anything else, right? It's okay.... what's more dagger than that?

"Hmm? Yeah, I gave you that dagger over there, so if you go to the village chief's house, give it back to me."

Hearing the word, the woman enters the village.

Seto drops that off, turns his heel back again and heads outside the village.

The villagers exhaled unexpectedly in relief at that appearance, and if they noticed, the figure of the woman did not already exist.

"You wouldn't have to be in such a hurry.... I knew you didn't want to get wet in the rain?

The villagers groaned with sigh as they looked up at the pouring rain.
