Legend

"Bye, village chief. Tonight, it's my pleasure."

To Ray's words, the village chief of Goto nods.

The smile on his face is probably due to the fact that he received a corresponding reward as a cost of being able to stay in each house in the village for so many people.

Being able to stay with nearly thirty strangers is naturally uneasy for people in Goto.

Moreover, if almost all of those nearly thirty people were also from the Bestian Empire, it would be natural for the inhabitants of the village of Goto, who have existed as the front line of the war, to remember their fears.

Still, I accepted that in addition to the extraordinary income I was able to earn during this period before winter, there is also a great presence: Ray and Seto.

Ray and Seto, who stayed in this village at one time, naturally still remembered the people of Goto.

During his stay, Ray and Seto were well received by the inhabitants of Goto.

One of them and one of them is leading the way, so there will be nothing wrong with it.

Of course, few people still fear that they are residents of the Bestian Empire.

That is why, in front of the village chief and the inhabitants of Goto, he declared that if those whom he had led took any problematic action, he would punish them firmly with his own hands.

The inhabitants of Goto, who know Ray's strength, are relieved by that word, and at the same time the movers are cautious that if they imitate something strange, they will be punished by Ray in some way.

I didn't have to worry about taking problem action because the former guerrilla face has something called fear and longing for Ray, and I was relieved as Ray.

But the former non-guerrillas were a little anxious about Ray... but they had been reminded that Ray wasn't what he looked like on the journey so far, and many saw Ray fight at the martial arts tournament.

And most importantly, there was no such thing as seeing the presence of Seto up close and still having strange thoughts.

As a result, we were all very intimidated… somewhere to be afraid, but the conversation was not particularly noisy.

"Mr. Ray, Mr. Vihera, and Seto, too. Long time no see."

Ray and Vihella gaze at that voice that sounded familiar.

There he was, a person with a harsh body and face but a gentle language.

At the same time, beside the person was the figure of a five-year-old boy.

"Luchard, and Epica. Long time no see. How have you been?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

"Long time no see."

To the Trinity Three, each returns a word.

These two people were deeply involved when Ray was staying in Goto.

It was Ruchard's house where Ray was staying as an inn, and Epica was nostalgic for Ray and Seto.

Two of Goto's closest to Ray.

"Yeah. Thanks to you, there hasn't been any particular fuss since then. Several nobles from other countries have passed through here, but fortunately Larks Borderline Uncle has been eyeing me."

"Of another country?

Nodding as Vihella convinced Ray to lean his neck.

"You must be the people who went through the kingdom of Mireana and returned to your country from the Bestian Empire."

"... Well, it's adjacent to the Bestian Empire, so naturally it will be that way"

"That's not true, is it? Normally, I would hardly imitate entering the Vestian Empire through the hostile kingdom of Mireana. In fact, you didn't see anyone here when we headed to the Bestian Empire, did you?

"Then why?

Neck tilting ray.

The trick is so full of love that I don't think of it as someone with a very deep red alias.

It's age-specific about going from a boy to a youth.

… although I already have a sense that I am a youth.

(What am I... Could it have been a younger hobby? It's a big premise to be strong, of course)

To Ray's appearance, it was Vihera who thought about that for a moment inside, but he immediately returns to me and opens his mouth.

"There's only one reason for that, right? No matter how many aliases you have and how many names you know, a Rank B Adventurer fought close to each other with a Rank S Adventurer? If the people who are coming to the Bestian Empire on behalf of the country want to gather a little bit of information about Ray, it's the quickest and most accurate way to come to the Kingdom of Mireana."

"Right. That's what the guards at Larks Border Uncle said. But you'll hardly be able to get any information."

"Well, basically, I work in the Guild."

Finally convinced, nodding Ray.

Gilm, a city on the verge of powerful monsters walking day and night.

It was harder to obtain information about Ray, even within the Kingdom of Mireana, than Ray was based there.

With a few exceptions, he became famous for his war against the Bestian Empire in Barr, on the Seremus Plains near here, for his demonic fever, temporarily evacuated to the port town of Emosion and challenged the dungeon in the labyrinth city of Exil.

It seems like a large number of cities and villages if you look at it as ordinary people, but if you think of it as an adventurer who travels from city to city, from village to village, you don't have that much information.

Not to mention because it hasn't been two years since Ray signed up as an adventurer in the Guild.

In that situation, nobles from other countries could not gather information so easily, and those who came all the way to the kingdom of Mireana would be almost in vain.

I guess I could have gotten a lot of information about Ray if I had gotten to Gilm, but I stopped here to return from the Bestian Empire to my country, and few people could afford to stretch their legs to the border.

"Well, whatever that is, I'll take care of it when it comes to the house where you guys are staying. I'll talk to everyone in the village here."

"Please."

That's what Ray asked me to do, watching Epica hang on to Seto.

"Go ahead, I can't get too many out."

Ray One line scattered into each other's house, and Ray was at Ruchard's house with Vihera.

What Luchard served to those two was dried fruit.

Ray's sensation would be close to so-called dried fruit.

Without even having to think about it, it is definitely a precious thing if it is such a rural village.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, because it's a celebration that Mr. Ray and Mr. Vihella are back safely.... and"

I turned my gaze to the front door.

Outside Luchard's house today, Seto and Epica were playing.

The energy of playing outside this season will be because you are a child.

(Kids are wind kids... does that mean they are the right expression in this world too)

With that in mind, could you possibly get yourself into it now? Think, shake your head sideways and deny it.

Sure, my appearance is about fifteen, but that I wouldn't be that young.

"Mr. Ray?

"No, it's nothing. Then I'll feed you."

Reach for dried fruit on a wooden plate.

It returns a firm response as to whether the dried fruit pulp is condensed.

As I put it in my mouth, it had a firm bite as well as the feeling when I touched it, while at the same time the intense sweetness spread across my mouth.

"... delicious"

It has a rustic flavour, but that was delightful for Ray.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Vihera also punches her tongue drums at dried fruit with a grin just like Ray did.

Note that Vihera is in Ruchard's house, naturally because Vihera is staying in this house.

Ray accepted that, too, as there was also Luchard, not just Ray.

Well, there's also the fact that there were few vacancies in the other houses, and the reason I can't stay in a detoured house, given Vihera's outfit.

"And I was really surprised. I can't believe Mr. Ray brought in such a group."

He was Luchard, telling him once again to be surprised as he tasted the dried fruit, but the look on his face did not look very surprising and he was smiling.

"Well, there was a lot going on."

"Pfft, yeah. That's a lot of things in a lot of ways."

Vihera tells Ray to tease rather than agree.

Luchard watches those two with a smile on his face.

Even though he feels uncomfortable somewhere, Fujiray takes some ingredients out of the mistering.

Some of them appeared to be bears that Seto had captured around the Imperial Capital... but Ray didn't seem particularly concerned about it and offered it to Luchard.

"For dinner today, the villagers want to get together and go with the feast, how about that? Yeah, I'll get it out when it comes to ingredients. Not that much booze..."

Ray's mysteries naturally contain large quantities of supplies needed on this journey.

Other than that, there were many ingredients Ray bought for himself, as well as monster meat.

The reason why there isn't so much booze is because Ray himself doesn't like booze that much.

Still, there was more or less booze because of the idea that once I decided that a place like this needed booze, I might use it for cooking.

Apart from that, some people said there was liquor in the luggage left with Ray.

"Is that okay? No, of course I'm glad to be here."

"Oh. This is how you're bothering the village. There's no point in thinking about it."

"Okay. I'm going to talk to the village chief for a second. If you think about sleeping under one roof, even if it's only for one night, you've never been over it to stay close."

"Please."

To Ray's words, Luchard leaves with a happy grin.

"A banquet. It may be a good time to think that you've crossed the Seremouth Plains and entered the Mireana Kingdom."

"Oh, of course there is that too. And no matter how much you're doing with me, I think it's often seen with a lot of harsh eyes when I first went to the guild. It's all about encouragement."

I don't want to fight Ray, I admired Ray, I want to be with Seto, and more.

It was one with all the reasons to act with Ray, but it is nevertheless an unchanging fact that he is from the Bestian Empire.

Regardless of the adventurers, it was Ray's expectation that they would not be so easily trusted as Dusker, Lord of the Guild and central figure of the Neutralists.

"Kanpa-yi!

Cheers!

Even on a deeper fall night, it doesn't change that everyone has a good time if it's a feast around a bonfire.

The people of Goto and those in Ray's line are banging cups everywhere and shouting a toast.

In the end, the food was Ray at this feast, but the liquor was talked about with Goto in charge.

Of course it's not exactly decided.

Ray also served some liquor, and Goto also provided some ingredients.

Because of this situation, everyone enjoyed the feast without worrying about the inside of the other person's belly.

Of course there are people who have some thoughts, but they don't imitate it like they put it on the table.

If you try on Goto's side, there's no way you can turn Ray with Griffon against your enemies, and vice versa, Ray. You can't let Ray scratch his shame by rambling him here, even if he's in one line.

... although there are more overwhelming people who enjoy this feast with no regard for it.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Next to Ray, Cuttlefish stretches into a plate where the stir-fry of bear meat is served as Seto joyfully throats.

On the day I left the Imperial City, I wanted to eat bear meat Seto, but in the end it never came true.

Of course the other dishes were delicious enough and it was also true that I was satisfied with eating them, but still the desire to eat bear meat dishes had not disappeared.

That's why it was such a pleasure for Seto that Ray offered the bear meat from Mystering at this feast.

"Huh? This bear meat is ceto!? Wow, wow. That's Seto!"

Ray tells me about Seto's capture of the bear, and Epica strokes Seto happy.

While eating the bear meat, Seto's throat was ringing as it seemed pleasant to be stroked.

"Look, Seto enjoys cooking too, so he doesn't get in the way too much"

Epica's mother tells her to be embarrassed.

I had already greeted Epica's parents, and Ray and I had a light conversation.

I would have liked to have stayed with Seto regardless if I had tried Epica the most.

"Gru?"

Want some? And Seto looks up at Epica from a plate containing stir-fried bear meat.

"Yeah!"

With a delightful voice, Epica also reaches for the stir-fried bear meat on the plate.

"... you had a feast and it was a success"

When Ray and the others came to Goto, I was slightly nervous.

But as far as I can see right now, both the lay line and the inhabitants of Goto seem to be breaking it down with each enjoying the feast.

That alone would have meant that it was worth the food it provided.

That's what Ray thought, reaching for the skewers that were being burned in the nearby burning fire.
