Legend

"Uh... nice weather"

In the sunlight pouring out the window, Ray wakes up and squeaks.

Outside the window I turned my gaze on, the rain the day before showed the blue sky as if it were a lie.

In this season, which was becoming winter from autumn, the sun claimed its existence to the extent that it was unusual.

It was Ray looking out at the view, but eventually when he regains his mind, he gets better.

After leaving the castle, two days. I spent a lot of busy days keeping the baggage of the former guerrillas who were going to the Guild together in mysteries, and other times I decided to go to the Guild on my own… more precisely, to mediate a dispute in the name of discussion with my family and lover.

"Seto may also be a little lonely"

Even in an inn in the Imperial capital, there are not so many places where you can stay a griffon like Seto.

Such places mostly require upfront reservations, or there are various and detailed rules.

Of course, Ray understood its importance.

No matter how big it is, I may not be able to take responsibility for anything more than Ceto being a griffon.

I guess there were a lot of people who thought so.

In fact, there were several times when they said that and refused to stay in the inn, and Ray eventually gave up on letting Seto stay in the inn.

When it comes to what you did with Seto, you end up letting him go outside the capital instead of staying in an inn in the capital.

The guards at the front gate who watched it were slightly cramping their cheeks, but it was a well-known fact that Seto was Ray's submissive, and that he never attacked people unless for any reason in particular, which never stopped him.

... except that there's more to it than letting it go free outside... Specifically, I was told that an adventurer can't be held responsible for defeating Seto.

"I don't think we can do anything about Ceto, which is recognized as a rare species of griffon. You don't have to be a soldier in a civil unrest to know what happens if you get your hands on it badly."

Soldiers who took part in the civil unrest… Especially if we tried to be soldiers who took part as crusaders, we saw what we truly deserved to call despair when we were unilaterally engaged in ranged attacks, starting with firebraces, from above where our attacks could not reach us, or when we came down to earth with a powerful blow as a griffon.

It is naturally for many to know how much Seto exists, beyond the fact that such crusader soldiers are also free by paying a fine.

Even though that's all Ceto's threat is known, I don't see how Ray would bother to do this prepared for danger.

... Ray himself didn't know the most, but there were a handful, if not a few, who tried to get a little out of it when they heard about Griffon's Ceto being out there.

However, it is not the kind of adventurer, but the kind of merchant.

It was not intended to capture or kill any more, but rather the hair of Seto's body and feathers of his feathers.

Of course, it couldn't have been that easy to encounter Ceto, and most of them ended up not even being able to find Ceto, but some of them were able to feed Ceto and obtain material while slightly, and such people earned a lot of money from Griffon's … and materials of rare species.

Blacksmiths, weapons and armor stores in Teito. And the increased number of alchemists as imperial national policy became overjoyed by Seto's material, which also affected the economy of the Imperial capital itself, albeit slightly... without Ray ever knowing it.

"7: 00? Have some breakfast, take a break, and you'll be just in time to meet me."

When I check the time with the pocket watch I took out of the mistering, I go straight out of the room.

Thus, as a staple of the Inn of this hand, he finished his meal on the first floor, which is the dining room, and when he was ready, he left the Inn.

"Shin! … please submit your Adventurer Card"

The soldier in charge is drawn for a moment to Ray, who put out his guild card in an attempt to go through the process of leaving the Imperial City at the main entrance.

Naturally, he knew what Ray looked like, and he didn't even think he was going to meet Ray.

There were many merchants, adventurers, travelers and other imperial capitals around just because the place was the main entrance, but Ray was only wearing the hood of a dragon robe and had not made any particular noise without being able to recognize the person as Ray.

Fortunately for this, Ray, who went outside the Imperial Capital after completing the process, advanced to a place a little further away where eight carriages were gathered.

Just outside the main entrance, there are several other groups like Ray headed for.

It's easier to get out of the capital in a group, but there are many people in the same situation as Ray who can't do it.

Still, Ray went to one group without getting lost, because there were many familiar figures.

And most importantly, there was a figure of Ceto in that group, because several figures were giving Ceto sandwiches, skewers, and dried meat.

(No, it's nothing strange that Seto is here)

A relentless ceto for opponents hostile during battle, but the usual ceto is very nostalgic.

It was only natural for Seto to approach him and find someone he knew.

And the face of the guerrillas rests with Seto, but those who go to the Guild with them... As for Seto, those who have only heard him speak are watching him at a distance and with fear.

From the side, we don't know what kind of gathering it is. One of the guerrillas who was on guard around finds Ray approaching that group.

This group, which has a larger number of carriages compared to the number of people, is also susceptible to the eyes of bandits, mercenary groups with less than favorable behavior, and if they do poorly, they can be seen by nobles.

So I guess the guy was on guard around.

"Good morning, Captain Ray."

It wasn't the other guerrilla squad members who reacted first to that voice that lowered their heads when they saw Ray...... it was Seto.

Seto, who was choking his throat and eating the food he had been given, approaches Ray at once.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Seto rubs his head against Ray as he leaves his couch dirty with a skewer or some kind of sauce.

While stroking Seto's head, Ray opens his mouth toward the approaching facial acquaintances.

"That's a lot of carriages for the number of people."

"Yes. I wondered if I could get a carriage with my horse for the reward of civil unrest, apart from the reward. Thanks to Captain Ray, too."

One of the guerrilla crew will gladly tell you so.

That would be natural, too.

The carriage is expensive, but the horse pulling it is also a substitute for the price it deserves.

Especially now the horses you can see from Ray are not even the finest... but they are not called horse wasting.

However, when I saw that he expressed fright at Seto, I was sure that he was not particularly trained.

"Theorem and Merclio are very excited."

"Well, to be honest, I also thought it would be really nice to get one of these. It seems to be more appreciated than it was active."

As the saying goes, this was a broken reward.

Given the profession of adventurer, it is very advantageous to have horses and carriages. And whoever cannot afford a horse, if he sells the horse and the carriage, he shall have a considerable forehead.

(excited...... or I feel overexcited too)

It seemed like Ray was paying too much in the eyes because he was getting paid properly for this other thing.

"What do you think of that area?

Ask the owner of the signs approaching from behind.

"Well, maybe Ray and I would like to be friendly."

Vihera, dressed in her usual attire, said so with a grin.

"I'm glad as far as I'm concerned, but that's why we're going that far? Carriages and horses aren't such cheap substitutes."

"You know what, Ray? The next heir to the throne of the Bestian Empire? If you can keep Ray and I friendly for this kind of expense, I think it's cheap."

"I don't know."

"That's right.... Morning, Ray. And Seto."

"Oh, good morning.... a bit in reverse order though. Are you ready?

With an exchange of greetings, Ray turns his gaze to the horse on which Vihella is riding.

The horse on board looked like a very good quality horse.

That would be obvious if you were near Seto, but you didn't see how frightened you were.

The back of the horse is loaded with luggage behind Vihella, and the horse doesn't look like it's going to be hard to move though there will be a fair amount of it.

Well, that's the only time. If you leave from here and keep walking, there's no doubt that sooner or later that package will be overloaded in the literal sense of the word.

We naturally understand that, too...

"Ray, can you do me a favor?

Nodding at the words of Vihera, Ray gently strokes Seto before approaching the horse on which Vihera is riding and storing her luggage in mysteries.

While doing so, I notice that Fufu looks familiar to the horse on which Vihera is riding

"This horse is definitely..."

"Oh, did you notice?

"The horse you were riding during the civil unrest, right? It was this horse at the parade, wasn't it?

"Yeah. It's a horse Merclio prepared for me, smart, fast running, and healthy. It's first-class."

Ray puts a convincing look on that word.

That's all my sister thought Merclio. He said the horse he would give to his sister would naturally choose a good selection of horses.

I think about it that much and think about it. Vihera fell in love at first sight with this previous civil unrest...... wondering if there was someone who was fallen in love with the wind that should also be called WWI Love instead.

"What happened to Digma?

"... you ask me that?

Ray, for some reason, stared at him with a fixed eye, didn't know what it meant for a moment, but he was immediately convinced.

(Really? Vihera has a crush on me. That's not a fun topic to hear from someone like that)

While I think so, the ability of a person named Digma is very high, and the elf-specific water spiritual magic is helpful in traveling.

Even with running water daggers, it was difficult to cover the number of people here and those who would join us on the journey, a total of nearly thirty people.

Not in a magical sense, but in a laborious sense.

That's why as for Ray, I thought it would be a lot easier if Digma came...

"No, it's nothing. Until you enter the kingdom of Mireana, but don't ask me to."

"Yes."

Whether it was a bad idea to bring up the subject of Digma, Vihera nods back with a slightly grumpy look.

But I guess that's natural, too.

Vihella had been spoken to several times by Digma while Ray was here storing his dough baggage in mysteries, refilling food and household items, and even replenishing spears.

Of course I know that Vihera looks and looks like she is liked by men.

But Digma's enthusiastic approach was enough to make it a little annoying even for Vihela.

I guess it's natural that you can't say no.

In the end, the last one was supposed to be half ignored or through.

Having felt such a vihella vibe, Ray decides that it would be dangerous to speak on this topic any more, and at some point he speaks to the guerrilla crew who were distancing himself.

"So, are all the people leaving already gathered?

"Uh... you haven't got a few yet. The rest are just on their way to the kingdom of Mireana, so we can meet there."

To that word, Ray takes his pocket watch out of Mystering.

Time is 9: 13 AM.

The promised time is over, but clocks are so scarce in this world that they are not so detailed in time.

It is often pissed off if you are late on a hourly basis, but it is greatly seen if you are late on a tens of minutes basis.

It's only natural that you should have come before the hour.

"Then I'll leave as soon as the guy who hasn't come, so just be ready to leave whenever you can."

"Yes.... well, I don't even have to sort that out any more than I leave most of my luggage to Captain Ray. If you intend to leave, you can take the carriage and leave immediately."

To the words, Ray does open his tease convinced.

"Oh, yeah. From here until we head to the kingdom of Mireana, you do the job of partitioning the faces we're traveling with.... It was Sergio, wasn't it?

"Huh? Me?

"Oh. I'm not a guerrilla anymore, so Palenix, who was a deputy, is back under Theorem, too. And then I really need someone else to bring you together."

"... Isn't His Highness Vihella okay?

Ray shakes his neck sideways with the meaning of denial to Sergio as he asks his gaze toward Vihera, who is playing with Seto.

"No, Vihera will part with us when she enters the Kingdom of Mireana. Then I'd better ask you from the beginning, wouldn't I?

In the end, Sergio took on the role of assortment, albeit reluctantly.

And when we make sure that the remaining few have come out of the main entrance in good time, one line will travel towards the Kingdom of Mireana.
