Legend

I was surprised and interested in what the guards told me about the new dungeon, Ray, but there's no way I'm heading for that dungeon as it stands, and Dasker tells me I should hear more about it and I go inside the guild.

Of course, Ray was not the only one who entered the guild, but also the faces of the former guerrillas and their associates who came to live in the guild.

Ray One line walks out toward the Lords' Hall as soon as he enters the Guild.

Gilm people who look at those rays and easily speak up.

The sight was an event tantamount to astonishment for the face of the former guerrillas.

Of course, even in the Bestian Empire, there were a few who spoke out against Ray.

But most of them are against Seto.

Against Ray, there really existed earlier the alias Deep Red and the action we had been taking, and not so many people spoke up.

"Wow. He's so casually speaking to Mr. Ray."

"You sure are a little incredible. We can't easily speak that way either."

"Right. Oh, but maybe the way we treat Seto hasn't changed."

Seeing the passing adventurer giving Ceto the dried meat removed from his nostrils, he exhales a relief at the sight we recognize somewhere too.

"Nevertheless... did you hear what I just said?

"Talk about what?

"It's a dungeon, dungeon. I heard rumors that there are things that can be done naturally, but I didn't know I could see that in person..."

"No, you didn't see it. He said he already had a dungeon."

"Still! For us, a dungeon must be very gratifying. You know why?

To the woman sitting in your seat in the carriage next to you, the man asks with all his might in his eyes.

If you are a woman with a powerful gaze, exhale small and then return the words.

"I know. A dungeon means you can make money there, right? Especially since we're new to Gilm, and I think we'd rather get monster materials and demon stones in the dungeons than contend with the few requests that exist in the winter."

"There aren't that many winter requests, but if you try to be the ones who couldn't save enough to get past the winter, you're desperate.... if we interrupt there, maybe we won't be seen with good eyes. Unless you have more requests."

"... Ninglo, aren't those the people who go to the dungeon? Well, maybe there's a rank or something."

While we were having that conversation, we arrived near the Lords' Hall.

A glimpse of the others surprised at that building, which deserves to be called a strong fortress rather than a lord's hall, and Ray, with his dragon robe hood down, calls out to the face-to-face gatekeeper... before, he can call out from the other side.

Even as a gatekeeper, we could not miss a group of carriages approaching us, because we understood that it was Ray who was leading it.

"Ray, you're back."

"Oh, I finally managed. So in front of the gates into the Guild, I was immediately told to head to the Lords' Hall to meet Master Dusker?

One of the gatekeepers glances at his coworkers when he says he knows.

The gatekeeper under that gaze immediately heads inside the mansion.

"Still, we're talking about a lot of things that worked great. Let me hear it from you next time."

The gatekeeper's words against Ray are against a cheap opponent.

Until now, Ray has been called to Dusker several times to come to this Lordship's Hall.

Every time I met the gatekeeper, it was natural to get acquainted with her face.

Some of them work is disconnected from work, but the gatekeeper who is now speaking to Ray did not have that attitude, but had the personality to speak out casually to Ray.

"Well, if you want to buy me and Seto something to eat, I'll talk to you."

In Ray's words, the man gives a disgusting look.

"When you and Seto are satisfied, what am I supposed to eat from the next day?"

"Ask the Dusker cook to make bribes."

"You know...... ha"

"Don't compliment me like that."

"Seeing my attitude now, where did I look at it I thought that way!?

For such an exchange, the face of the former guerrillas can only suddenly watch how it goes.

Few people have ever been so comfortable with Ray.

The most I can think of is Vihera, and then there are places like Theorem, Frizione and Angela?

"So? When I walked into the city, I heard you had some new dungeons?

"Uh... have you heard that story already? Yeah, it was a fuss when we first found the dungeon, huh? It's also been a few days since the city has settled down. Captain Langa went over there a lot. Sometimes the dungeon itself is pretty small."

"... are you small"

To the words, Ray turns his gaze to his own hands.

Of course I don't care if I'm small.

The nucleus of the dungeon, present in the deepest part of the dungeon.

I remember when I destroyed it in Death Size before.

(I don't know if the nucleus of the dungeon is a monster, but the biggest problem is that the nucleus of the dungeon is already absorbed by Death Size. Even though it's a pretty beneficial skill, like terrain manipulation. When Seto absorbs it, I don't know what he remembers... but is it worth a shot?

If it's a small dungeon, it won't be hard to get the nucleus of the dungeon either. With that in mind, Ray smiles small.

"Oh. It was just so sudden. At first, they had a hard time coming out of the entrance to the dungeon with all sorts of monsters. The monster that came out was a weak goblin or something, so there was no direct damage. Fortunately, the entrance to the dungeon was small, and there were times when big monsters couldn't come out."

"Is that why Langa's there?

"So. it was sudden that the dungeon appeared, so I guess it also meant suppressing that upset"

"... that dungeon, free to attack?

To Ray's words, the gatekeeper man opens his eyes small.

"Dude, I just got back from the Bestian Empire, and now it's my next job?

"We don't have anything to do during the winter anyway, and it's troublesome to have a dungeon nearby as a guild, right?... By the way, how close is it?

"Right, a few hours' walk from here."

"... you sure are close"

The dungeon with the altar of inheritance that Ray dived with Elaine is a few days away by carriage.

Compared to that, a few hours on foot is really just around the corner.

"Right? That's why even Gilm made a fuss. So, the place..."

And when the gatekeeper man tries to keep talking, just in time, the man who went earlier to inform the lord's hall of Ray's return returns.

"Master Dusker is going to see you, so come on in. However, Ray is the only one who meets with Master Dusker. The others have a room in the hall, so we'll talk about the precautions for moving to Gilm."

If it's normal, no matter who moves to the Guild, there's nothing like a lord or his men coming out on purpose.

This time, however, there were several circumstances that were difficult to say were normal.

To the extent that it is a group of people from the Bestian Empire, that they are former guerrillas who fought through civil unrest with Ray.

That's why I needed to make sure I checked the area, even as a Dusker, from the standpoint of Larks Borderline Uncle.

Representing the former guerrillas, Sergio is turning his gaze to Ray.

You're asking me if I can believe you. To that gaze, Ray nods back.

Did you feel at ease with the faces of the other former guerrillas, starting with Sergio when you saw it, and nod back to the gatekeeper as you were.

(It must have been conveyed via Elaine that there were people who came with me. Probably all right)

To Ray, who thinks that way, the returning gatekeeper man calls out.

"Ray... oh, that maid will show you around. The usual office."

"Okay.... I'll see you later"

When he exchanges words with the gatekeeper and finally speaks to Sergio and the others, Ray walks straight into the gate.

Note that Seto walks from himself to the stables before Ray tells him anything.

I guess that means Ray isn't the only one used to the Lords' Hall.

"Long time no see, Master Ray. Now, as soon as possible, let me show you under Master Dusker."

"Oh, please"

Guided by a familiar maid, Ray entered the Lords' Hall.

"Dear Dusker, I have brought Lady Ray"

It was the hall of a lord who had already been here many times, but Ray was nevertheless heartily surprised to see the lavish doors of the office.

This door itself is a very luxurious substitute, and perhaps if we sell this door we can just play and live for generations, or even a dozen generations… or even decades away, if we are civilians.

"Get in."

At the end of the door, the maid opens the door to the voice heard from inside the office and passes Ray into the room.

What Ray saw inside the office was not a dusker on the top of the Buddha...... but a pile of paperwork stacked even this on the desk.

Between such piles of paperwork, there is a look of Dusker with an uninteresting look on his face.

"Ray, are you back?"

"... Yes. But what the hell is this?

"Huh, you haven't heard? All of a sudden a dungeon appeared near Gilm."

"I hear that...... so this is what happens?

For example, it's hard to be a nobleman... Dasker exhales loudly and opens his teasing mouth to Ray, who thinks easily that way.

"Tell you what, some of these papers are about the guys you brought in."

"... thank you"

As for Ray, I just have to say that.

After seeing how Ray was doing like that, you must have realized you were just hitting eight. Dusker gets up scratching his head.

"Bring me something to eat lightly. Oh, a lot of eyes."

To Dusker's words, who understands how much Ray eats, the maid leaves the clerk's office with a grin and a small grace.

Dusker, who dropped it off, tells Ray to sit on the couch for the reception, and he also sits on the couch opposite Ray.

"... I hear you've had a lot of trouble"

"Yes, that's right. It's not like it was all bad."

"Immovable noise, or"

Ray nods with a complicated look at the words coming out of Dusker's mouth.

It is true that the fight against noise was very beneficial, but I still lost... because of the strong feeling that I was missed even if I didn't.

"And... there's also the Seto thing"

"... was it a rare species, even though it's just surprising that a Rank A monster. You've got a good taste for a monster of rank S."

"Because we've been together since we were kids. You're more like a brother to me than you are to me."

Dusker smiles bitterly at the words.

If we could just be together since we were kids and we could be taems, we could have more taemed monsters.

But if it doesn't make sense, I'll move on to the next topic.

"Some of them you brought in."

"There's that too. Besides, isn't it a bad consequence if you consider that even Master Dusker pulled the armies out of the Bestian Empire?

"Considering it's connected to the other side, it's troublesome."

"I don't think you have to worry about that..."

I definitely don't want to be hostile to myself. Throw away the country if it's as hostile as it gets.

Or I want to be with Seto.

It didn't seem to Ray that all those words were lies just to the person who put those thoughts into words.

It was Ray explaining the area, but Dusker shakes his neck to the side to deny it.

"Surely what Ray says may be believed. But you may not believe it. Because there was nothing clear evidence and the rationale was that Ray felt that way.... That's not the only way to fully believe it in my position."

"I see."

Even for Ray, there was something I couldn't help but be convinced of the words that came out of Dusker's mouth.

I guess that's okay if Dusker himself is just convinced, but I guess he'll need some clear basis if he's going to explain it to anyone else.

"... then could it be all kinds of dangerous?

"It won't even be dangerous, but I think we'll be putting on surveillance for a while.... Well, don't worry, I won't imitate you to make you uncomfortable by placing obvious surveillance over here"

"Is it an egg"

"Oh."

of the men who had fought behind Ray's brain, near Subrusta before, and the faces that led it past.

Originally a man who led a meadow wolf who was a bandit, he is now pulled out and entrusted with a wing behind Dusker's … more precisely the Larks Border Uncle Territory.

Egg-led meadow wolves are each equipped with some skill, and they don't imitate being noticed by their opponents even when they monitor them.

(Most of all, the face of the former guerrilla squad stands up in arms. Some of you wouldn't be surprised if someone came out to notice.)

While remembering some faces, Ray nonetheless nods back to Dusker without expecting it to be particularly problematic.

"Right, I thought that would be good. Besides... if they take any action, it's my responsibility to bring them here. At that time, I'll handle it responsibly.... Well, I don't think that's gonna happen"

Dasker nods back to Ray, who tells him with a smile of confidence.

Dusker himself believes Ray's words, so this is just a precaution.

"… Now, as for those wishing to migrate, can you tell me what happened that was a civil unrest"

Finally got to the point.

Having so decided, Ray talks about what happened after he broke up with Dusker in Imperial City.
