Legend

"Um, was it good? Leave those two alone."

After a while out of the guild, he comes near the Lords' Hall and finally the knight asks that to Ray.

But Ray, when asked, returns his words as he strokes Seto.

"It's a little hard for me to stop Lenora in that state. Well, if that's what you're gonna say, why don't you just say it sooner?

"I'm sorry about that. There's nothing you can do to get your necks in a fight between women."

I can feel the history of this knight where he re-calls it a battle, not a feud.

That's how he thinks, while Ray shakes his neck to the side and opens his mouth.

"Then I'm the same. Especially Lenora in that condition. She's too scared to get her hands on it."

"... I understand"

He was a knight with a smudge and a grunt, but the word still comes with a strong sense of reality.

I wonder what kind of life a knight walking next to himself has ever lived, huh?

Change the subject if the knights also notice that they are of interest that they do not mean very well.

"That being said, we're talking in the company, and I hear there was a gamelion in the dungeon."

"Oh, there were almost fifty of them in the hall where the dungeon's nucleus was."

"... To be honest, it's surprising that you can beat 50 of them normally, regardless of one or two gamelions. Besides, there wasn't even Seto, was there?

"The entrance to the dungeon was small, so Seto was leaving a message outside, wasn't he?

"Gru......"

Seto sounds sorry for Ray's voice.

I guess Seto looked cute like that. The knight smiles without my knowledge.

"What other impressions did you have?

"Whatever your impression... the only dungeons I've ever dived are the dungeons away from here and the dungeons in the labyrinth city of Exil. I don't think that's very helpful."

"No, I don't usually dive into a few dungeons."

The knight who told him that felt like Ray was missing something majestic compared to when he first met him in the guild.

(Maybe this is the vegetable? You know, the guild used to make a marginal attitude.)

It reminds me of the dungeon while I think the knight is in trouble too...

"Right...... I guess it also affected that you just did, but anyway, the enemy had a lot of goblins. In terms of the number of enemies defeated in the dungeon, I think there were more goblins than gamelions"

"Is it a goblin? I heard a lot about it, but I guess that's a lot to say."

"In my case it was fine because there was an item box, but in the case of a normal adventurer, I think it's pretty tough with the depletion of weapons. I have physical problems."

I guess the knight could have predicted the difficulty of fighting alone. Hear Ray's words and nod as he was convinced.

Walking around talking about the dungeon, he eventually arrives at the Lords' Hall.

There was also a gatekeeper, but what came was a coworker knight and a face-to-face ray.

In addition, because the conversation had been conducted in advance, I simply greeted him lightly and went into the premises without being particularly awaited.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto heads to the stables as usual, and Ray and the knight enter the Lords' Hall with nothing in particular to see how it goes.

For Seto, it would be too much to say that this Lords' Hall is a second house... but I guess it's a place he's used to so close to it.

In fact, neither the old man in charge of the stables nor the one who sees Seto is particularly surprised... on the contrary, he even laughs and puts him through the stables.

For the old man who keeps this stables, the horse in the stables, though loving, is also a subject that must be rigorously trained.

Compared to that, Seto was a totally unrelated being to the old man, just a being to take care of him.

On top of that, Seto performs his adorability fully with his circular eyes and a nostalgic attitude, so close to treating him like a grandson to an old man.

When I greet Ceto with a smile on my face, I give him some of the bread I saved for when he was hungry, as usual, and stroke Ceto.

"Grrrrrrrr"

"Uhm, is it tasty? Nice to meet you. I think it's gonna take a while today. Yeah."

I basically miss Seto for someone who adores me.

I rub my face against such an old man and thoroughly enjoy the feel of being stroked with my muscular hands.

The feeling is subtly different depending on the hand of the stroking man, but for Seto it seems that the feeling of this old man's hand was not unpleasant.

Of course, Ray's hand feels the best for Seto.

Still, the old man's hand, who is now stroking himself in this way, has held down the bumps of those who can only stroke him after years of handling animals, and it was definitely a pleasant time for Seto.

... although it didn't take long for the old man's men in charge of this dormitory to look at the old man and Seto somewhere and yell back at him.

When Seto and the old man were playing, Ray's figure was inside the Lords' Hall.

I've been there many times already, and I'm getting used to the office.

Although there was still something unfamiliar about the luxury of the door.

Sitting on a couch in such an office, Ray was facing Dusker.

Also beside Ray is the figure of Langa.

The knight who has guided Ray so far has already returned to his work.

On the table were teas and sandwiches prepared by the maid, who had implicitly told her that this was a private seat for Dusker, not the official one.

"So all the enemies that came out in the dungeon were goblins and cobolts, augs, oaks and gamelions?

"Right. However, the Auga was only about half the size of the guy I've encountered before, and weak in terms of strength in fact... which may be a bit too much, but it was never strong"

"... Hmm, what do you think of Langa?

To Ray's words, Dusker asks for a sip of tea before going to Langa.

"Well, I still think the biggest problem is that it hasn't been long since the dungeon was created."

"You think that's also why the dungeon hasn't collapsed yet?

"What about that? I do remember hearing similar stories in other dungeons before when I brought the nucleus of the dungeon but the dungeon remains intact"

Dusker turns his gaze to Langa, who tells him to remember something.

That was the same with Ray, who was listening.

"Is that true? Any more stories?

"Sorry, it was quite a while ago..."

"Hmm, but if the dungeon doesn't collapse, it's troublesome, and don't help."

"Is it troublesome and helpful?

Dusker nods back at Ray as he reaches for the sandwich and asks.

"If the dungeon is to remain intact, it is possible that a monster or bandit will enter the trail of that dungeon and turn it into a root castle. Well, I don't suppose anyone has the guts to bandit around here, but it's not like none of them have a chance."

"... right. Perhaps we should leave the soldiers alone, but if we stay on the current scale, it would be too much of a burden. If the number of people is smaller, there will be people who are unconscious to monsters."

While listening to Dusker and Langa, Ray does convince me.

"So what's the point of being helpful?

"This is the border. Something like a monster outbreak doesn't always happen. It could be used as a front-line base in a situation like that."

"... over there?

"That's right. Well, if that's what you mean to use it for, you'll need to properly service it inside the dungeon. Others, like I just said, will need to seal the entrance hard so that the monster doesn't go inside. As for bandits... well, you don't really have to think about it around here"

"As for keeping Guild security, a bandit is the same as a monster, or more dangerous than that."

Ranga in a position that is wrapping up Gilm's guards groans with a bitter smile.

I guess it's because I understand that there's no way bandits around here can do it around the border that I'm still laughing bitterly.

Most bandits operate around places such as Abu Ero and Subrusta, which are also border entrances.

Sometimes some bloody bandits come all the way around the gilm, but most of them turn into monster bait, a gilm with all the skilled adventurers, even without it. Yes, they crusade without setting aside the time.

It was Langa's word because he understood it.

Ningro, Langa should be wary of bandits trying to get into the guild.

Because there are slums in the guilds, and there are poor quality people in such places.

"Well, let's think a little slower when it comes to dungeons. It doesn't mean we have to decide right away. More than that, Ray. You must have brought the nucleus of the dungeon, right? Let me see."

It was a dusker coming at the gaze of anticipation, but Ray shook his neck sideways against that gaze.

"I keep the nucleus of the dungeon with the alchemist, so I don't have it on hand right now"

"To the alchemist? Oh, well. You had a hobby collecting magic items. So?"

It was a dusker with an unfortunate look on his face for a moment, but if it is also the nucleus of the dungeon, it is definitely a very rare material, even if it is something that has just been done.

You use that to make some kind of magic item? That's what he asks. To Dusker, Ray shakes his neck sideways again.

"Don't make new ones, repair them...... or rebuild them? It's like that."

"Hmm, that's interesting. Let me talk to you if you like."

Dusker puts the cup of tea in his hand on the table and turns his gaze to Ray as he embarks himself.

"I don't even think I care that much. When I fought noise in the civil unrest of the Bestian Empire, I got the demon sword that noise was using... my body was broken in two, so I thought I'd rebuild it into a spear and turn it into a demon spear. At that time, the nucleus of the dungeon might be available, so I left it with an alchemist I had been introduced to by a blacksmith I knew."

"... again, don't be impotent"

To Ray's words, Dusker groans as if he was somewhere shuddered.

To such a dusker, Ray tilts his neck.

"Insensitive, is it?

"Oh. If it's about turning a normal long sword fillet that's not a magic item into a spear, that's not so unusual. But it's not like the Demon Sword is a Demon Spear... of course not, but without a fairly skilled alchemist and blacksmith, it wouldn't be weird for a superior, first-rate Demon Sword to become a third-rate, fourth-class Demon Spear? That's all you're talking about."

"... he was quite enthusiastic"

Ray is now being attacked with anxiety by Dusker's words.

Still, he didn't try to get back to Azimov's house because of the fact that Pamidor had taken it on, which would have known what was going on around there.

The very fact that I met with Pamidor is not that much.

But he sees the weapon that Pamidor struck as a blacksmith, he also has faith in the person who introduced Pamidor, and he sees how he adores his son, Kumito, and furthermore reinforces his belief that he is a trustworthy person by having a conversation with Pamidor.

That you wouldn't say you could do anything you could never do just with such pamidoles.

Even for Azimov, he understood that he was what he would call an alchemy fool, and that's why he wouldn't take on what he couldn't.

If such an imitation had been made, it would have been certain that severe sanctions would probably be awaited at the hands of Pamidor.

"Hmm, you're riding. I guess I'm confident I can do it, though. What did you ask the alchemist for, can I ask?

"You said Azimov."

The moment Ray utters the word, the eyes of Dusker and Langa, who were listening to Ray in an intriguing way, are mild but open.

"Right, Azimov?... Surely that alchemist would be able to do that much. It just seems like it's gonna be hard to get a request."

"Right. That Azimov stands on his arm, but the..."

Seeing two people exchange words like that, Ray somehow convinces me of what he wants to say.

Surely, given Azimov's character, he said he wouldn't do anything to get the request that easy.

I guess it's just hard to imitate being in the mood just because you're in the mood.

"This time it seemed to be the deciding factor that you were interested in ceto's wings and hair or in the nucleus of the dungeon"

"... I see, then"

Dusker groans, and Ranga nods again as convinced.

Apparently these two felt the same way that Azimov was an alchemy fool.

Then, after a while, I heard that those who came to the guild with Ray would move to the city even tomorrow, and put away the luggage that was in the mysteries before leaving the Lords' Hall behind.
