Legend

The journey since the departure of the Imperial capital has proceeded very well.

Ray thought there might be more bandits out there because of the civil unrest, but there were no bandits out there, including monsters.

However, in Ray's case, if he is a Ning Lo bandit, he also wanted me to come out in the supplementary sense of the funds.

He was basically a ray who had no trouble with gold, but still, it's not like he's a saint prince.... No, given what you have done so far, there will be no one to call Ray a saint prince.

Either way, you can feel no guilt about defeating the bandits who attacked you and getting the treasure you were accumulating.

I thought that security would be restored in the vicinity... but that was sweet.

"You're free."

"Gru......"

Ray and Seto, going alone and alone, whine somehow.

The face of the guerrillas and Vihera are not a problem because they are already accustomed to Seto, but there were family members, lovers and some friends who went to the kingdom of Mireana with the guerrillas, but such people are naturally not accustomed to Seto.

No, if they were the only ones, they could have been forced to make friends with Seto.

But... horses pulling carriages are different.

It doesn't have to be until the horse can break with Seto, but it can't be helped in a day or two until he's no longer scared.

From Ray's experience so far, it took him about five days, even if he stayed with him all day in the stables.

Vihera's horse was a rigorously trained horse, and he was hardly afraid of Seto, but he was still nowhere near it.

The reason is simply that if specialized forces like Vihela were moving with Ray, they might not be able to cope when monsters and bandits attack the carriage.

For this reason, Vihera is acting with the guerrillas as escorts for the carriage.

... Most of all, there are members of the guerrilla team, so there's nothing to be said about the presence of bandits and monsters in the area.

"The weather... well, not bad"

Ray telling as he looks up at the sky.

It was sunny when I left the Empire City, but in a few hours I can see the clouds drifting through the sky, not all full of sunshine.

Ray wasn't particularly worried because it wasn't like a rain cloud.

If we were just traveling normally, the face of the guerrillas would have been taken away from us by the cold if it had rained too.

But it was also a delightful event for Ray to not have to worry about the area because everyone was in the carriage.

As I look up and think like that, I hear the foot sound of a horse inadvertently approaching me from behind.

(Oh well. I'd rather have Vihera put in some carriage when it rains anyway)

The person...... when I think of Vihella's outfit, the fact that Vihella gets wet in the cold rain of this season, which also deepened in autumn, is not a very happy event in person, anyway, as far as I can see from the side.

Even though it's clothes made of a thin cloth so that you can see the other side, what happens if it gets wet... naturally the man's eyes will be drawn to you, and as a result the woman in this group... especially the gaze from the lovers, wives, sisters and sisters of the guerrilla crew will be sharp.

In the narrow part of the carriage, we don't want to imitate such stress, so besides Ray, who thought about it, most people were thinking about putting Vihela on their carriage when it rained.

… Please note that most people come alone because some of them are single, and if they try to do so, they will be with a wet vihela in the rain, which is nothing but a reward.

Of course, I understand the strength of Vihela more than enough, so I don't imitate it in a way that causes confusion.

In that sense, Ray was the most troubled when it rained.

If Ray gets in the carriage, Seto will miss him, or if he gets close to the carriage, the horse will be scared, so he can't even get close to the detour.

It's not like I'm going to be completely separated from Ray, but I guess I still don't like being nearby but not with him.

(I mean, should I even think about getting wet with Seto if it rains? I never catch a cold, but I don't like the feeling of getting wet in the rain)

Dragon robes have the ability to adjust the temperature to make the wearer more comfortable, and most importantly, they are specially made by Ray's flesh itself in a single gate of zeppyle.

Causing a cold, etc. as wet as a little rain couldn't have been the first thing.

"Should I think about it when it does? I don't think I need to worry about the rain at the moment."

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? And to Seto, who tilts his little neck and asks, Ray shakes his neck to the side saying it's nothing, and then strokes his head.

While walking down the road, Seto narrows his eyes and squeals his throat as if he feels comfortable with the feel of being stroked by Ray's hand.

Generally speaking, the temperature has already dropped to about 10°C, not very much, but not one that you can walk in a colloquial manner.

In fact, each of the people in the carriage wears the appropriate cold gear.

Walking that way, Seto eventually rattles his throat as he turns his gaze toward the woods growing a little further from the street.

Enemy for a moment on Seto? I thought so, Ray, but there's no particular way they're coming at us.

In fact, what was in the woods was a bear, not a monster or anything, looking for nourishment in preparation for hibernation.

Still, did you understand the difference between the existence of Seto and your power, and quickly escape to who you came from?

If it was a normal traveler who went through here, maybe he would have been attacked... but in that sense it would have been unlucky for the bear, and he would have been lucky to try to be the normal travelers who went through here.

"Gru......"

Except for Seto, who unfortunately rings that one missed his chance to eat bear meat...

Still, I guess I remembered that the bear meat Ray had captured when he was staying away from Frizione and acting differently was still in Ray's mysteries. Ringing my throat to get my mind back on it.

"... what?

On Ceto's back, Ray tilting his neck.

I know what Seto thinks, Ray, but he still doesn't know the details.

As far as Ceto now is concerned, I can only tell that I was happy to find something, to have an unfortunate look on my face and to remember something again.

It would be different if we could find a clearer reason to be happy.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Watching Seto thump his throat with joy, Ray ended up not knowing what Seto seemed happy about.

Keep going down the street for a few hours. The rays, whose sky sun came directly above them and decided it was time for a lunch break, were preparing their meals beside the streets.

If normal, when such a group finishes a meal, it is often done with portable meals such as grilled black bread or dried meat.

Some of us get our own ingredients and cook, but even for such people, it will be a breeze to start a fire and prepare under the dish...

If you're the luckiest people, you might want to buy a sandwich and eat it.

This is possible because it is the only luxury of the day we depart from Imperial Capital and it is not as hot as it is in the summer.

But... in that sense, this group was very fortunate.

Freshly made stewed pans were removed from Ray's mysteries, and a large quantity of freshly baked bread and freshly baked skewers appeared.

As everyone raised their voice of joy, the only thing that seemed dissatisfied was Seto, who wanted to eat a bear meat dish.

"Heh... adventurers eat pretty good stuff"

Not to cook, but one of the women whines as she still hits the bonfire to keep warm in this cold.

Not in the face of the guerrillas, but one of those who came with me as their family.

But naturally, if you think it's true, you're in trouble as an adventurer...

"You can't be. It's usually dried meat or something. Captain Ray has an item box to eat this warm freshly prepared dish."

Ray smiles bitterly and opens his mouth to a member of the guerrilla corps who hastily tells him so.

"Is it time to stop calling me captain? The guerrillas are already disbanded."

"It's nothing! Sure, the guerrillas have disbanded, but for me, Captain Ray is Captain Ray at all times!

The first person to react to those words was a man's family and a middle-aged woman.

"Oh, I can't believe that Marneau has become so respectful of people...... thank you, Ray"

"Hey, Mom! What are you saying to Captain Ray!

A man called Marneau rushes to stop a middle-aged woman who lowers her head by placing a plate with stew on the ground.

But the mother, whatever... No, she tapped her son's head lightly and made him bow his head to Ray.

"Look, thank you too! Totally, it's just my mouth from time to time."

"Mom! I wish you would stop me in front of everyone!

All those who are eating lunch while hitting a bonfire laugh at such a Marneau appearance.

I guess eating is still what unravels people's minds.

Those who were somewhere against Seto when they left the capital will gradually break it down when they are eating together.

Of course, I couldn't stroke it immediately, but I still stopped doing things like frightening even when Seto was nearby.

This also means that the guerrillas desperately talked about Seto's cuteness in the carriage, and that they actually saw Ray getting food in front of them to make them happy.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Wherever he first looks grumpy when he eats lunch, Seto sticks a couch in a plate full of stew, not bear meat, and sounds his throat joyfully.

Most people had a soothing look when they saw Seto like that.

"Ray Squad...... No, Mr. Ray. If we continue like this, the streets are divided into two parts, one going straight to the kingdom of Mireana, and I think it's the path that Mr. Ray and the others took when they came to the Empire City. The other one will be far away, because there is one person meeting the village that went that way..."

Finishing the meal, Sergio calls out to Ray as he takes a rest after the meal.

"What happens to the distance to the kingdom of Mireana when you go down that street?

"Well, that's about as far away as it gets."

"Is there a problem then? You're staying overnight in that village."

"Hmm. Ma, fine. As far as I'm concerned, I wish I could stay in the room with Ray."

I guess I was listening to Ray and Sergio. That's what Vihella says, but it drips toward Ray.

Many of those who watched the condition are astonished.

We all already knew about the Vihera thing, but I was wondering if you had so far shown any overt favor for Ray.

"You don't know what to do. Whether you're staying in an inn or not, the rooms are separate. Not if you want to take the big room."

"Um, but I don't think the village we're going to be in is that big, so to some extent, we're going to be in the same room, right?

To the words, Ray looks around silently.

If you or Vihera can also get in, there are less than twenty people in total.

Regardless of where there was a large inn like Gilm and Teito, I quickly realized that it was unlikely that taking this number of rooms individually into an inn in a small village would be possible due to the number of rooms.

"Worst case scenario, some of my magic tents..."

Ray's magic tent is a very luxurious alternative to the inns around it.

Worst of all, it would obviously be a better room than the kind of inn we're going to be heading to.

Of course, a more luxurious magic tent exists. For example, Dusker, who paid Ray for his magic tent as a reward, as he had a higher-performance magic tent.

"But how many people do you get in Mr. Ray's magic tent?

"If you don't want to sleep in bed or something, and you don't mind the couch or the floor, don't rest for half the time you're here."

"I suppose that would mean just putting it in the inn, putting the rest in the house of the guy I'm going to rendezvous with, and still the rest is Mr. Ray's magic tent."

To Sergio's words, Ray nods that he still doesn't mind.

"It's just nice to put it inside a magic tent, but don't imitate it strangely. I don't think anyone would do that."

"Ha. I don't think there are people with Ray or Seto who imitate so badly. However, if you were... that person would regret it in many ways. I'm sorry about traveling with people like that."

I guess there's some point in telling those around you. Sergio's laughter echoes.

Surely those who are here can say a lotus of trustees until they arrive in the kingdom of Mireana.

But many people just met today for the first time, so it was impossible to trust them from the bottom of my heart.
