Legend

The feast took place, the next day.

With the perimeter still slightly dim, Ray one line was already ready to leave outside Goto.

Do some of them still have the drunkenness of the day before, or do they look sick with hangovers?

Some people turned their sympathetic gaze to such people, but most of them turned their gaze to say they deserved it.

Naturally. I told him I was leaving early the next morning before I started the feast, and even though I was cautioned not to stay the next day, it was like this.

"Look, still drink this. It'll be a little refreshing."

"I'm sorry, Auntie... I'm sorry."

He would be a resident of the house where the man stayed. An old woman hands some liquid in a wooden cup.

He was the man who tried to drink it up all at once, but in the next moment he would flaunt his face grandly because of the smell of that liquid that spread in his mouth.

"Ha ha. There's no reason why the medicine tastes good. Look, drink all at once. You're a man!"

"Ugh... ok. Yeah, man's got guts!

Scream to encourage yourself and drink out of the cup at once.

The man with the glasses out of his mouth and the look of despair in the world......

"... could this be with this flavor instead of eliminating the hangover headache..."

"Well, I don't know. But we're going to be traveling by carriage, right? I think it's better than suffering from a hangover headache then."

To that word, the man also has to be convinced.

Moving on in a carriage in a state of hangover and shaking your body is close to torture.

Compared to that, I would have preferred to still suffer from the taste of hangover medicine.

Such an exchange is taking place elsewhere, and it will also be paragraph by paragraph and ready for departure.

"Well, you took care of him overnight."

"No, because yesterday's feast was fun. As for this one, you're welcome. If you ever come near me, please stop by again."

"... coming near here is going to mean we have business in the Seremouth Plains and the Bestian Empire, but then we'll drop by again"

At the end of his brief interaction with Luchard, Ray's gaze is directed beneath his feet… precisely towards Epica, who is stroking the ceto he is crossing.

"Thank you, Epica, for adoring Seto."

"... yeah"

The word I returned was something I could see putting up with loneliness.

Try Epica, I don't want to leave Seto.

I know that, but still, there was no reason to say all about me here, and I had to snort in tears.

"Gru......"

Cheer up, and rub your face against Epica.

But I guess that crossed Epica's last line.

The next moment I get zero tears from Epica's eyes.

"Gusu, hiku... hey. We'll be back, won't we? There's no such thing as this, is there?

Epica talking to Seto, rubbing her tears.

But Seto doesn't understand why Epica suddenly cried out, cheering up and rubbing her face.

That stimulates the thought of not wanting to leave Epica Seto even more, crying harder.

Seeing how Epica is like that, it's a few of the former guerrillas in Ray's line who are snorting convincingly.

"I get it... I get it. Something sad if I have to get away from Seto too"

"That's true. It's gonna be a little hard to leave Seto."

"Ugh, that's a good story..."

Ray, who turned his gaze to those who spoke that way, exhaled in a small sigh before placing his hand over Epica's head.

"Look, because if I ever come near here again, I'll show my face to Goto. Heal the crybaby by then. Otherwise, Seto will laugh at you."

"Ugh, yeah... ok..."

Epica rubs her eyes desperately on Ray's words and manages to tell her so.

"Grrrrrrrr......"

Seto rubs his face against such an epika again.

But now, unlike earlier, there is nothing to cry about, and Epica's hand gently strokes Seto's head back.

Ray, who sees it, opens his mouth wide.

"It's probably going to be a camp today, but unlike the Seremus Plains, monsters don't come out often. Just don't ever get distracted because a bunch of bandits might attack you instead of a monster. From here on, it will be a journey within the authentic Kingdom of Mireana. If you cause any extra disturbance here today, it may be perceived as a working activity of the Bestian Empire, so be careful."

To the words, those around them squeeze their faces and nod.

Because they do realize that it's not strange to be suspicious.

(Thinking about it, it would have been nice to have a guild ahead of us. A bad place might give you a strange cause)

He whines inside remembering the many nobles he has encountered so far, and Ray shouts loudly at the end.

"Okay, let's go!

With that word Ray gently slaps Seto on the back, and Seto goes on his feet without saying anything again.

Following such a seto are many carriages and the horses on which Vihera is riding.

Behind him were Goto people waving their hands wide toward Ray's line.

"Peace..."

Hours after leaving Goto. That voice inadvertently enters Ray's ear, especially as he travels down the street with no commotion or anything.

In fact, since I left Goto, I've moved on without any trouble, so the word is never wrong.

I guess I felt extra free, especially for being nervous that Ray had sporadically threatened me before I left Goto.

"You know, I'm sure you're free, but do some reconnaissance around here."

"Whatever you say, Seto's here, so it doesn't make sense for us to scout."

"... it's..."

The woman who was doing your job in the carriage next door will notice you, but she will say it back immediately.

In fact, the woman silences herself because the words are not wrong.

Anyone who was a former member of the guerrilla squad who fought through the civil unrest with Ray knew how sharp Seto's five senses were.

That's why the cautious woman also silenced herself.

"Ray, what do we do?

I guess I was hearing that voice. A horse on Vihera comes by near Ray and asks.

But Ray shakes his neck to the side of such Vihera's words.

"They are now. But if it's time, I'll do what I have to do. Now you're still under the influence of yesterday's feast. He was so welcome in the first village after entering the kingdom of Mireana from the Bestian Empire, perhaps naturally."

"... but to be honest, it's also a big deal that Ray offered you food because he was so happy over there, right?

"I won't deny that"

Return that immediately to the words of Vihera.

In fact, what made Goto residents so friendly was that they had familiar opponents like Ray and Vihera, and Griffon, who had the adorable look of Seto but was a rank A monster, to a large extent.

If that's all you have to do, just be friendly with the Rays, and treat the others friendly only because Rays provided food at the feast.

Still, as Ray, he decides it was something he needed to do.

It was the first village to come into the kingdom of Mireana, and that was all that was welcomed.

Even for those who had decided to go with Ray to the Guild on their own, it would have had the effect of putting out some of the anxiety that would have been felt.

That would not make me feel familiar with a country called the Kingdom of Mireana... but the psychological hurdle should have dropped.

I didn't aim for it before I went into Goto, it was almost a feast I came up with, but I would say that just serving the ingredients was effective enough.

"If only those guys would get used to the kingdom of Mireana. I moved out of the Bestian Empire on purpose. If that happens again soon, it'll be a lot of trouble."

"Oh, you take good care of yourself. I'm glad you can take better care of me."

"That's a different matter from this. Mostly...... yeah?

Ray, who was talking to Vihera, stops the fufufufu conversation en route and turns his gaze toward a giant rock over three meters high by the side of the street in the direction of progress.

Something seemed to have moved earlier...

And when I find out what's moving, I sigh, and the next moment I grin.

"Even though the fall is almost over, they're working very hard. I wish I had directed that willingness to work towards adventurers instead of taking away people's things."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto also noticed the same thing as Ray, I agree with him throbbing.

Then a few seconds late, Vihera also understands what Ray and Seto noticed.

"I see. You do seem highly motivated to work. People around here will just have trouble showing it off in places like this."

"Not at all. We're not that far from the Selemouth Plains, are we? I've been waiting for you here, and most of the prey won't pass.... Well, fine. He came out of the corner. Let's take him down here and get him to throw up Ajito. You're gonna make a lot of money. Plus, if you get attacked by Goto, you're not sleeping well."

When Ray tells him to say something, he turns his gaze toward the carriage running behind him.

"Have you seen this carriage and recognized it as a merchant squad? That could be enough. Well, fine. Listen, there's a bunch of bandits waiting around the rocks in our direction!

Hearing Ray's voice, the reactions of those on the carriage are divided into two parts.

One, fear.

I've already been attacked by bandits several times since I started this journey, and I've seen them repel it all.

At the end of the day, he also sees the sight of raiding the bandits' azitos in reverse and taking away the treasures he was storing.

Still, if you try to be a normal ordinary person, banditry was only a symbol of fear.

And the other, grin.

It's also a hunter-like grin that makes you happy that your prey has hung.

These are Ray and Vihera, former guerrillas, and former adventurers and ex-soldiers who understand and realize that this line of warfare can be called excessive.

Because Ray's fighting power has been shown in civil unrest and previous journeys, and because we are confident that we will stand up quite well, we recognize that bandit raids are time to earn some money.

While reacting at both extremes, the Rays continue to take the streets without even showing how they noticed their opponents… Eventually, when approaching the immense rock, a figure suddenly appears on and around the rock, releasing an arrow with a bow erected simultaneously.

(Heh, do you want to climb on a rock and use a bow? You're thinking of bandits.)

With inner admiration over Seto's back, he takes the death size out of the mistering and wields it loudly.

With that blow, the arrow toward Ray was swept away.

I turn my gaze behind my back only for a moment, but even there, I am cutting off with my own weapon the arrows that were pouring down on us the faces of the former guerrillas who were similarly playing your part.

Only Vihera, whose only main focus is fighting, was acting to grab the arrows and throw them away on the spot, rather than dealing with them using weapons.

"Bullshit, what the hell is that group!

What surprised me when I saw such a ray line was the Bandits.

I waited like this, deciding that it would probably be a merchant squad, because I said that I had also found a group of expensive boxcarriages compared to a carriage without a roof or a front carriage, and that I had set up a complete ambush of no more, but I didn't think I would be able to prevent all arrows.

At this point, the bandits' parent, who decides that their opponent is not just a merchant squad, releases an arrow again, albeit frustratingly.

Which of us can do more than launch an attack like this, killing the opponent or keeping close to it and taking the load away.

"Shoot, keep them close, and we're doomed!

Other bandits desperately shoot arrows at words out of their parents' mouths.

We understood that the other skill was more than ourselves, but the target was already too close to escape from the scene.

Even if he escaped now, he definitely decided he couldn't get away with it.

That's how one of the bandits inadvertently realizes that fact as he shoots an arrow hoping that he manages to hurt his opponent.

"Parenthood! Isn't that Griffon running at the head of that carriage?!?

"Hmm!

If you gaze at that word, it is indeed Griffon who is running at the head of the carriage, and on its back there is something wrapped around the robe.

I was delayed in noticing it because it wasn't that big compared to the carriage, but it's not hard to figure out who it is when you realize it.

"Bandit eater! Chi, what is such a pain in the ass... we're leaving, Temee, etc! There's no use in dealing with such a monster here!

Shout no or no, jump right off the rock and try to escape...... the bandit's familiarity is heavily slashed by the blow of the flying slash Ray unleashed unconstitutionally, and the bandits who were upset when they saw it were stopped from moving for a few seconds due to the crystal brace set off by Seto and caught up in the face of the former guerrillas manipulating the carriage in that gap...... the bandits known as Arrow Storm will vanish this day.
