Legend

"Heh, is that an escort over there? You've had a rough time in cold weather."

"Haha. They came back to Gilm before it snowed, so it helped us too."

To Ray's words, Ekril smiles bitterly and turns her gaze outside the carriage.

... Yes, there were currently scorching wind faces in the carriage besides the Rays.

It's beyond the number of people who could ride a carriage if they were meant to be, but Ekril emphasizes the lightness of movement in a ranger, and his body is also small.

Sulnin, who has an indelible look somewhere, is also a wizard and therefore wears no heavy gear other than a cane.

And most importantly, Mileyne and Johanna were not in the carriage, but walking outside.... with Seto.

As Ray expected, the two of us couldn't say that we were very close to each other because we liked the same Ceto but couldn't give in to each other.

Still, Seto looks sad when the two fight, so now he's halfway to a Cold War state.

He said he didn't stand alongside you.

Outside the window, Ray whines inside as he watches Mileyne and Johanna walk as they pinch Seto.

The snow that came before entering the gilm has fallen so massively that it makes me want to say what it was that never snowed before.

It was still good because there was no wind, but if the wind were strong in this situation, it would have been a blizzard.

"This... don't pile up"

"Right. I thought it was time to finish the gamelion hunt. This year the hunting period was short, so slightly higher is the difficulty...... but it was helpful that it was no longer available at all. Thanks to you, Ray."

Sulnin talks to Ray as he looks at Ray.

"Didn't you go gamelion hunting over there? You guys can take down enough Gamelions, right?

"Mileyne said she wanted to go. Without turning down our escort job."

"Haha. In Mileyne's case, we're not selling gamelions, we're looking for meat."

Ekrill is outside the carriage...... squeaks looking at the two walking with Seto in the snow.

"Uh, I guess that's our Johanna, too. If they hear Seto prefers Gamelion's meat, maybe this time he'll do it to Seto instead of selling his share of meat, too?

One of the former guerrilla men tells Ekril as he looks out the carriage to follow his gaze.

Those in the carriage were also nodding to agree with it.

"Try this, those two are like each other. I guess that's why we don't care about each other."

Nodding as everyone agrees to the words out of Ray's mouth.

Considering the number of people most in the carriage, even to that extent, it feels narrow.

"Still, the snow was late this year"

If we keep talking about it, it'll be a lot of trouble. Sulnin, who felt that way, misses the subject as he looks outside.

"Well, certainly don't feel like this year's snow was slower than usual. But as for myself living in the Guild, it would help if it snowed late. So are you guys, like, burning winds, right? I'm telling you, I know it's harder than usual to escort you in a snowy situation."

"Right. Not many bandits come out around here, but a monster raid is a possible story. When you think about the area, it's not a good idea to have bad vision of snow."

Ray was listening to Lent and Sulnin, but eventually he exhales a slight relief when he sees the guild.

"You've finally arrived.... In the meantime, my role is over if you give me the gamelion, right?

"Wait a minute. Could it be you're just gonna run away?

Lent turns his gaze to see if he can escape, but Ray, with his gaze pointed at him, flaunts his shoulder without showing any particular concern.

"Running away or nothing, my role in the first place is to discover and transport gamelions, right? I did a good job around here, so I don't want to run away..."

"That's sweet"

It's the sulnin that's been pinching words on Ray like that.

I even float some light of pity and turn my gaze to Ray.

"Even if Mr. Ray stays away from this scene, it's Seto that our Mileyne and your Johanna are adamant about in the first place. We'll probably go after him, won't we? In order not to, don't you think we should settle this properly here?

"... well, as for me having to do the dismantling of Gamelion or something, I don't want Ray to be home yet if I can"

Even Lent agrees with Sulnin, and Ray gets stuck in words.

In fact, if we throw Gamelion out here in the right place and go home with Seto, it's definitely because Mileyne and Johanna could have expected to follow us.

"Where do we do the dismantling of the gamelion?

"Yeah? Yeah, that's okay. I told you I was taking a place. Talk to the Alliance. We're renting a training ground. So this is how we were headed for the guild."

It was Lent with a grin that the hand-wound was adequate, but I have no doubt that Johanna would have liked to see the goodness of that hand-wound if it were meant to be.

Johanna hangs out with Mileyne outside.

That's how in the subtle air...... eventually the carriage arrives at the guild.

"Do you want to go quickly, then? Johanna, I'm going to dismantle Gamelion, so come here."

"Mileyne, please come and report that we have successfully completed our request for escort, too. I'm a party leader."

The two women, who were voiced by Lent and Sulnin and were alert to their opponents even as they grinned, leave the scene of inadmissibility.

Johanna goes to the training ground with Lent and Mileyne into the guild with the sulnins.

Enemies that each other has given each other from heaven… while understanding that they are natural enemies in a different sense than normal natural enemies.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto doesn't seem to understand the interaction between the two women, and I'll see you later, and I'll ring my throat.

For Seto, be Mileine, be Johanna, they're both people who adore themselves.

I don't fight if I can, and I have a strong desire for you to get along.

Most of all, I'm never close from the bottom of my heart, but I should say I'm strong around not letting Seto understand that.

(The similarities show up in places like this.)

It was Ray who was dropping the two of them off, but Lent approaches early enough against Ray like that.

"Look, Ray. If you don't come, we can't dismantle Gamelion, can we? Even it's snowing and it's cold, so let's get this over with!

"... no, not now, but isn't it pretty harsh to dismantle it as it snows? Couldn't you rent another place or something?

A warehouse passes near the full pavilion behind Ray's brain, but if it's the gamelion he's taken, it's still Ray's only role this time is to discover the gamelion and transport the body.

Not very much, but that warehouse as promised last year...... I couldn't exactly rent a demolition shed.

(Plus, gamelion hunting is at its peak now. Probably busy dismantling the portion to serve at the full pavilion)

Just about this time last year, we hunted gamelions and made udon.

It's only been a year since then, but it also seems like a long time ago to Ray.

"You know, some merchants do offer places that can be dismantled, but that kind of thing costs money. Plus, at this time of year, I'm busy and I'm gonna need an upfront appointment."

Now in the middle of a gamelion hunt thanks to Ray's attack on the dungeon.

In that case, we naturally also need a place to dismantle it.

The best thing you can do is dismantle it on the spot where you defeated Gamelion, but if you imitate that in a situation where there are many monsters around you, you will undoubtedly attract other monsters.

If you have time for that, it would be the adventurer's true desire to defeat the other gamelions.

That's why we're going to have a place to dismantle like Lent...

"No, I don't mind. I just need to get out the body of Gamelion in the item box. But aren't you guys having a hard time working in this cold?

More importantly, in Ray's case, the dragon robe adjusts the temperature.

But even though Lent and Johanna are wearing cold gear from the top of their protective gear, it doesn't mean that it will completely lift the cold in the snow.

"There was nowhere else to spare, so you can't help it. And... look, it's not just us, is it? I've been responding to the cold."

Ray follows Lent's gaze toward the training ground, where he sees the light.

A number of bonfires existed inside the training grounds and were used to keep the lights and warm.

And nearly ten groups of parties were bringing in a luggage truck with Gamelion's body on it, each carrying out demolition work.

"Wow..."

I guess it was an unexpected sight. From Ray's mouth, a voice leaks that is both surprising and frightening.

Lent opens his mouth with a grin such as whether he judged the voice a surprise or did it.

"What do you say, surprised? Well, this is also a kind of Gilm specialty...... that's a bit too much to say, but that's what it looks like. Oh, you're free over there. Ray, over there, please."

Prompted by Lent's gaze at an empty spot inside the training ground, Ray moves to the vicinity of one of the bonfires to get Gamelion's body out of Mystering one after another.

The first one has been cut in half, but the rest of the body was a beautiful one.

Of course it has some more scratches than attacked and defeated with weapons.

Still, you can definitely describe it as a beautiful corpse compared to the one that is the first two corpses I've put out.

"Thanks for the help. Well, once we're done with Ray's work... as for the reward, can we take it to the inn tomorrow?

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

Lent bows his head to Ray, who tells him as he remembers the taste of cheese he ate just a little.

"It helped me today. Thanks to you, I was able to hunt Gamelion safely. I appreciate it."

"Thank you, Ray. Please also say thank you to Seto. Let me go to Mr. Ray's room next time."

It was Johanna with a grin to tell, but there's no rushing color to Lent who was listening to it next door.

Because I understand that Johanna's purpose is Seto, who would be in the stables, not to meet Ray.

... but I have a hard time turning Johanna, who is obsessed with Seto, towards me.

Former guerrilla men also come along to tell Ray what to thank for.

"Lent hired me to go this time, so don't worry. As I said earlier, I get paid properly. Better yet, you're the ones who won't get used to living in the Guild at first, but let me know if anything happens. I'm the one who brought you here, and I'll help you if anything happens."

"Mr. Ray......"

A small grin at Johanna's words, Ray takes the spot behind him.

The gaze of dropping off such a ray was gratifying.

Most importantly, Ray himself didn't seem to care about that gaze.

I didn't want to be appreciated, purely because I brought myself here, so I had the feeling that I had to take care of that much.

But such Ray's thoughts feel thankful and warm for former guerrilla members, including Johanna.

Dropping off Ray leaving, Johanna opens her mouth.

"Well, shall we start dismantling the Gamelion? Captain Ray got us this far, so we can't beat the cold either."

"Right.... Just Johanna. The way you call Mr. Ray, he's back at Captain Ray."

Johanna puts her hand on the mouth to the words of the former guerrilla man.

I guess it was totally unconscious behavior.

Lent turns a slightly jealous mixed glance at Johanna like that.

Still, the jealousy is only slightly done, probably because Johanna's eyes on Ray were only on the person she depended on, not on the opposite sex.

(Well, given Ray's age, I don't think it's possible for Johanna to look at a man first. I'll tell you how much I like younger.)

It was Lent thinking that if a princess general or a former princess of a battle fanatic knew about it, she would undoubtedly eat a painful blow.

... while recognizing that for some reason something cold ran on my spine probably because of the snow.
