Legend

"Huh... hmmm..."

Ray getting up on the bed with a stretch.

Looking around, he remembers that this is the wheat pavilion at dusk, and turns his gaze still slightly asleep out the window.

What was spreading there was such good weather that it didn't seem like autumn.

One cloud does not exist in the sky, autumnal sunshine as if it were a summer sky.

That also seemed as if Ray was congratulating me on his return to the Guild.

"... I guess it's my fault after all"

I whine small, and my head clasps that my body has finally woken up there.

The wheat pavilion at dusk is the inn where Ray is staying in the Guild.

When I was heading to the Bestian Empire, I didn't know how long I would be away due to civil unrest, so I took out the room once again, but I had to rent the room again because I came back to Guild like this.

The day before I came back to Gilm, it ended up taking me a while to pull Mileyne away from Seto, and Ray came to the wheat pavilion at dusk when it would be time for dinner.

Still, Lana, Inn's general, is a superior guest, she hasn't forgotten about Ray, who is impressive in many ways, and she pleases Ray's words, who told her she wants to stay again for a while.

Fortunately, the room would have been somewhat empty even at this time of deepening autumn.

The wheat pavilion at dusk is one of the finest inns in the Guild.

Naturally, people like the big merchants and the mercenary regiment of the war often stayed, especially until a while ago, when it was almost winter and many guests were gathered.

But now it's also a paragraph, and although it's not free to places like the idle birds ringing, some room was still empty.

That's why I was able to jump in and get a room light even when Ray came.

Of course, I guess that also has to do with Ray staying at the wheat pavilion at dusk for a long time before.

"Today... you're the guild first. Same goes for Gamelion's request, but I'd also like to say hello to Lenora and Kenny. Besides, I wish I had some information about the dungeon.... No, dungeons are a priority"

Ray, who schedules his plans for today while checking his closeness, takes out his clothes, starting with a dragon robe, straight from Mystering.

Ray is currently staying in the same room that Ray used to use.

Sometimes I still stay for a day, but there is no living object in the room.

We store all the most needed luggage in mystering, so after a few days, a dozen days, a few dozen days, a few months some luggage may increase, but it will basically remain a killer landscape.

I made my way to the first floor of the wheat pavilion at dusk after breakfast...

"Yeah?"

Ray leaning his neck toward the sight he saw.

Because there was something uncomfortable about the sight I saw when I walked into the dining room.

Keep looking at the dining room for a while... and finally figure out who that discomfort is.

"Less people?

As usual, there should have been people coming for breakfast besides guests just for the culinary pride inn.

Not enough to overflow just breakfast time, but still crowded enough to find a place to sit.

Even so, at the end of Ray's gaze now is the appearance of a dining room with about 70% of seats available.

Somehow I have a bad feeling, and when I take my pocket watch out of the mistering and check the time, the time shown there is near 10 am.

"... Huh?

While aware of a dumb voice in his oversleeping condition, Ray turns his gaze to the pocket watch again.

But only the fact that it's ruthlessly displayed there is near 10 am.

"Mr. Ray? I'm out of breakfast time already...... a little early for lunch?

What I heard from behind was a familiar voice.

Turning his gaze to you, there was a figure of Lana, who was also the Inn's general with the laundry in her hand.

"Oh, no... yeah. Right, a little light stuff, please."

When he gets to his seat by handing over a few copper coins, Ray looks around the dining room again.

Currently all that remains in the dining room are those who are having a slightly earlier lunch, as Lana said earlier, or those who slept like Ray... still nearly 30% of the dining room seats are filled because those who have already finished preparing to go over the winter are all gathered in the dining room for bone break.

"No way, I didn't expect you to sleep on an hourly basis"

Dozens of minutes... or an hour or so of sleeping, I can still understand it as Ray.

But if the present is close to ten o'clock, he will be a sleeper for three to four hours.

This much sleeping is a bit unusual for Ray.

(I guess that means I was careful while I was going to the Bestian Empire. So, he came back to Gilm and said he was going to sleep at the wheat pavilion at dusk and he slept safely and well)

As for Ray, I didn't mean to be so careful. Nothing. I wasn't aware that I was forcing my body, and I was going to be normal.

... Most of all, if Ray told me that he was normal for the rampage he showed in the Bestian Empire, there wouldn't be so many people who could snort at it.

I guess I was distracted by the fact that I came back to Gilm, which could be my home town for such reasons.

(Ma, I was going to rest my body for a little while, and I have a lot of other things to do, so I could go to bed for a little while.)

Thinking small and stretched, Lana comes to the table with a plate with sandwiches and a plate with soup.

"Please take your time"

That's all I tell you, Lana, and I'm just leaving.

It's not that I hate Ray, it's probably packed with inn work.

"The first thing to do... I knew it would be the guild. Then I have a promise to the scorching wind, and I want to see if I can repair the demon sword I got from the noise."

Whimpering, carry the sandwich to your mouth.

The sandwiches are so delicious that I just sell the delicacies of the dishes that I don't think they were made in this short time.

What I particularly liked about Ray was the use of Gamelion meat.

(Is Gamelion's meat out already, after all?... Should we just take the day off and head tomorrow?

He was a ray thinking while eating a sandwich baked with Gamelion meat attached to the sauce, but some of the others in the dining room also notice what such a ray looks like.

"Hey, that... Could it be a deep red?

"Huh? No, 'cause he's not in Gilm right now, is he? So you're another similar guy? Mostly, a robe in deep red is an amazing, plain robe."

"Huh? But you think someone in a plain robe like that could stay in this inn? You can't afford to stay in this inn without the strength you deserve, can you?

"No, it's not like you're staying at the inn. It's a delicious place to eat, so you think you're coming to eat it?"

Hearing voices heard from around him, Ray decided that staying this way would be a lot of trouble, finishing his sandwich quickly as he tasted it, and when he drank up his vegetable soup, he left the dining room and headed to the stables.

"... no, I thought you were there, but you were what I expected"

What came into my eyes the moment Ray entered the stables was the look of Mileyne giving him a sandwich to Seto.

That, too, looks familiar to me where the sandwich Mileyne has it.

... naturally. Because it's the same thing Ray used to eat in the dining room until earlier.

In other words, Mileyne was purposefully buying a sandwich in the wheat pavilion at dusk and giving it to Seto.

"Ah, Ray.... That was fast enough. I could have slept a little slower."

"It's after ten o'clock."

Ray turns his gaze inside the stables as he returns his words to Mileyne, who speaks with dissatisfaction.

Many horses existed there as a matter of course, but about half of them seemed scared somewhere.

The other unafraid half would be horses who were in the stables when they were heavily trained horses or when Ray was using the wheat pavilion at dusk before going to the Bestian Empire.

(What horse are you scared of... aren't you scared of Miraine, not Seto?

Looking around the stables, he was Ray, who fumbles to think that way, but decides that's not going to happen, and opens his mouth.

"More than that, have you heard from Sulnin?

"Huh? Oh, is there something Ray wants us to do? Something about unlocking the seed of the commandment. As far as I'm concerned, if I could stay with Seto, I'd be happy with that."

"... you're probably too. Well, if you know what I mean. So, what do we do? That's just what we met here, and now you're gonna disarm me?

Most importantly, I don't think there's any art in unlocking the seeds of the commandments in the stables, but Mileyne turns her gaze to Ray, who tells her.

That's a sharp gaze, unlike the soft, loving gaze toward Ceto.

"Hey, Ray. I am glad that you will release the seed of the commandments. I'm glad, why all of a sudden? Originally, that magic was because we saw Seto's powers differently than normal griffons, wasn't it? But why?

As for Mileyne, I'm glad you can untie the magic that binds you.... It's a shame that I lose my strong resistance to flames as a by-product of it, but I was nevertheless glad that I didn't have to die when something happened.

But I know how much Ray cares about Ceto, and at the same time I know how much Ceto misses Ray.

I regret... I really regret it from the bottom of my heart, but Ray is the most uppermost part of Seto.

I wondered why I would suddenly lift the seed of the commandment just because I knew such a bond with one person.

"Strange?

"Of course."

"Well, in brief.... I was in a civil unrest in the Bestian Empire, and I used my thoughtful Seto skills in front of a lot of people at that time. I've been known so much that I can't delude myself."

"... What the hell are you doing? Or what are you thinking? Even though Seto means Griffon is easy to catch people's attention. By and large, what's all this about civil unrest?

"There's been a lot, a lot of things."

There's no way I'm going to say why I'm supposed to have anything to do with civil unrest here, and I'm so deluded.

This civil unrest was planned in cooperation with the neutrals and nobles of the Kingdom of Mireana.

And there's no way you can talk like you want out there.

"Still, with Ray's power, you didn't have to bother releasing Seto's secrets, did you?

"... maybe, but if it had, I'd be dead"

Mileyne opens her eyes wide to the words out of Ray's mouth.

That's such a surprise that it's going to crush the sandwich I had with my hand.

"Ray said he was dying... what would happen if that happened?

A person named Ray, whom Mileyne knows, is powerful enough to be able to overwhelm even an individual and an army.

Such a person struggles...... on the contrary, the sight of dying is not very much, but I could not imagine.

"You're going to fight a pretty strong opponent."

"... that's who Ray says he is?

Mileyne listens to Ray and prompts me ahead just because Ning Ro is interested.

Ray was unsure if it was something I could tell him for a moment, but he opens his mouth lightly, deciding he wouldn't even have to keep it a secret about the matter.

"Rank S adventurer of the Bestian Empire, it's immovable noise"

"Huh!?

I guess that name was totally unexpected, even for Mileyne. He opens his eyes wide and turns his gaze to Ray as if to gauge the veracity of the words, seconds go by and asks terribly.

"Really?"

"Oh. As it turns out... I don't know, I fought with Seto and took the form that once the other one retired, but if you think about it in terms of battle details, it would be the form of losing this one, or you missed it. Exactly, Rank S, I was pretty confident in the fight, too, but no way... something like that."

"That's right. Rank S? Ray's rank is... sure, it was B, right? Ning Lo, I'm surprised you were able to fight to some extent due to that rank difference."

"Whatever it is, that's why I behaved Seto's skills extensively in the biggest battle at the end of the civil unrest. After that, I decided I couldn't delude myself any more than I used my skills in front of a lot of people, and I used my skills all I wanted to use against my enemies.... It is widely known that Seto is a rare species of Griffon in the Bestian Empire today. So now it is no longer necessary to keep you bound with the seed of the commandment."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto throats at Ray's explanation, and he was a lost Mileyne for a moment, but eventually opens his mouth.

"But I spare the flame resistance. If you're not going to tell me about Seto, isn't the seed of the Ning Ro commandment only beneficial?

"When the other guy's talking about Seto, it's all kinds of unnatural to be in a situation you can't say. … don't worry, I'll leave the favor on the flames"

"Can you do that, too?

"Oh, except with the seed of the commandment in your body, you've been in contact with magic for some time, and you can't do it without affinity."

To Ray's words, Mileyne nods small after a little thought.

"... Okay, then, please"

Listening to Miraine's words, Ray takes the magic activator death size out of Mystering and casts a spell.

"O flame, be embedded in this man, and feed him with the seed of the commandments."

A small flame is created on the Death Size Stone Poke...... Ray points that flame towards Mileyne.

"Quiet Flames"

At the same time as the magical activation, the little flame was sucked into Mileyne's body… Mileyne felt firmly the feeling of something burning in her body.
