Legend

"Dear Iskeld... Dear Iskeld!

"Hey, why is there a Knights Commander of the Duke of Quent here!?

"Know what? Isn't that why you've come to defeat that monster?

"No, how did you not say this on the request?

"Oh. He did say. I heard that."

"So, that monster after all...... you mean Griffon is not the enemy?

"I guess. Besides, if you're an enemy, don't you feel like you could do anything with Master Iskeld?

"I won't deny that. He's the closest of kings."

"Ning Lo, Kings are strong around multiple people with just enough power to work with Master Iskeld."

To the surrounding voices he hears, Iskeld exhales with relief in his heart.

I don't really like to be rumored, but I could still say that it was a shame that the residents took it off the mess.

That giant over two meters superior, some people will look like giants.

Not only is he tall, but his body is packed with dense muscles, and his face is the face he deserves to call tough.

Although he is about his mid-thirties age, the atmosphere will soon convince him that many of the battlefields he has dived through are slightly over a hundred.

It is no surprise that everyone is surprised because such a man appeared at the gate, who heads the Knights of the Duke of Quent.

Its presence could also be easily felt by Ray, who had approached the gate with Seto.

(Heh.... strong, huh. That's what Rank A is all about)

You can still remain calm even when you look at an opponent equal to Rank A because you still have more than that...... experience in fighting the noise of Rank S?

It was also strongly felt that it was essentially missed, but it was nevertheless true that it crossed with noise.

That is why we can talk about the presence of Iskeld without being particularly upset in front of us.

"It's Ray. I came here on a request..."

"Hmm. I'm listening to that story. That's why I picked you up so you wouldn't make a scene. Follow me."

A glance at Ray, Iskeld tells him without looking upset, even if he brings Seto's presence closer.

We understand that each other is strong against each other, and still exchange words in a way that makes each other unusual.

"... who's in the process of getting inside?

"I'll do it this way. Oh, let me see your guild card for once."

"Okay."

Hand over the guild card you took from the mysteries to Iskeld and the process will be completed lightly.

Hang the obedient devil's necklace, which was given with the guild card, to Ceto, and the two and one enter into Graciar.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think anyone would notice until now."

"It's nothing. If you're with Seto, this kind of gaze comes with you."

"Grrrrrrrr?"

What happened to Seto when he called me by his name? and gaze toward Ray and Iskeld.

Seto, who looks straight at himself with his circular eyes, can't be hostile even if he knows he's a griffon.

When he understands its adorability just by looking at it, Iskeld opens his mouth with a small grin on its stern face.

"I was wondering how many monsters would come because of Deep Red and his subordinate Griffon... I didn't think such an adorable being would come"

"Basically, Seto is nostalgic. Except against hostile opponents, but maybe that's what I'm like."

"... if you know that, you just need to add and subtract a little more. I certainly do not want to say that this matter is caused by the tyranny of its royalist nobility… But isn't one of the reasons you've made it so big is for you, too?

"Well, I don't know. However, if I don't get my hands on it, I'm pretty sure the notoriety of the Kings' nobility has spread in the Guild. He made a lot of noise before he could rub it with me."

As we go on exchanging words with each other, we eventually dive through the gate and finally arrive inside Graciar.

"Heh.... you've developed a lot"

"Naturally. Because it's the home of the Duke of Quent."

While I answer that, I guess I still don't feel bad about being praised for where I live. Iskeld smiles proudly.

The city of Graciar was clearly above Gilm on a pure scale.

First and foremost, the number of people is different.

Gilm was also flourishing more than enough as the only city on the border, but it spreads in front of Ray to the point where it seems that a few times as many people as Gilm is.

(That's it when it comes to the difference between the borderline uncle and the duke, the difference between the borderline and a peaceful place, but this is honestly awesome)

It was Ray watching Graciar with admiration, but I remember a letter I got from Marka before I left Fujirum.

"With that said, I left a letter from Marka to give to the gatekeeper guard, but you didn't have to mean that a big guy like you came. Uh... Iskeld, was it?

"... oh, did you have an introduction yet? I'm Iskeld. I work for the Knights of the Duke of Quent."

"It's Ray. He's a Rank B Adventurer in the Guild."

Ray then introduced himself, but Iskeld smiles bitterly at Ray like that.

I usually look tough, but when I smiled bitterly, I looked strangely young.

"I know. Ning Lo, if there's a guy in the current kingdom of Mireana who doesn't know Ray, you can say it's Mogri."

Ray was surprised for a moment by the lack of perseverance, unlike the language he had until a few seconds ago, but returns the words without mentioning it in particular.

"... for that split, though I didn't seem to know the keepsake of belonging to the Kings?

Iskeld frowned slightly and opened his mouth when he was poked at the nasty spot.

"He's an exception in many ways. In the first place, sending such an outsider into the guild as a wedge, etc., is also below as a conspiracy.... Ning Lo, if it's a conspiracy that means damaging the Kings, you can think of them as capable."

It was an Iskeld to say smudged, but as he walked down the street, many realized who Iskeld was, soldiers and thinkers stretched out their spines to salute him, adventurers gave a look of surprise, and citizens turned to a look of longing.

He nods at them, raises his hand gently, returns a grin and acts, yet Ray and Iskeld exchange words.

... Most importantly, it wasn't just Iskeld who stood out, but Ray and Seto.

If it's Gilm, this city called Graciar is where Ray and Seto first come from.

Naturally almost everyone who sees a griffon is new, and it's not surprising that there's confusion if it's supposed to be.

Still, there must be little noise because Iskeld is with us.

"If there was such a guy, it would seem like a lot of trouble.... I didn't have to be like that this time."

"Oh. If there's one like that, I'd advise the Duke of Quent to hold it."

Speaking to those who greet themselves, but also having a conversation with Ray, would be a sign that they are used to the work of this hand.

And for the inhabitants of Graciar, Ray and Seto, who are with their proud Knights Commander, were naturally enough to receive attention from the others.

"Hey, I'm taking that griffon..."

"Definitely, it's deep red"

People like intelligent adventurers and merchants quickly see who they are...

"Man or woman? Which one do you think?

"I don't know which one, because I'm wearing a hood, but wouldn't that physique be weird for a woman?

"... the woman who can follow the griffon? You look like such a bad girl."

"Really? I feel like a mysterious woman."

"Woman!? Beautiful girl!? Beautiful girl!?

"Wow, that's a real leak. Honestly, I don't want to be near anyone like that."

"In the first place, wasn't it rumored that even a man named Deep Red?

It was Ray and Iskeld, and Seto, who proceeded with sprinkling seeds of various topics, but inadvertently stops at a stall with Ray's gaze.

It was there because it was the first food stall I knew, even though I seemed to see it for the first time.

I use udon.

However, it is not udon hung with soup such as is commonly served in guilds.

That dish, hung on boiled udon with something like meat miso, does not exist in the guilds... or even if it does, a dish Ray has never seen.

(Does it feel like jar noodles or noodles with no juice?

Of course, it wouldn't be the kind of meat miso Ray knows. In the first place, the seasoning is different.

But it looks similar to them...... moments, something sharp passes behind Ray's brain.

(No. It's not a jar noodle, it's not a noodle with no juice. Sure, on TV... well, then, Morioka dishes like noodles. Close to that one.... I just saw it on TV and I've never eaten it)

The dish is called the three main Morioka noodles along with wasaba and cold noodles in Morioka.

Most importantly, Ray's knowledge is only what I saw on TV, and I don't know what it's actually like.

So the desire to try the street food now at the end of Ray's gaze has grown stronger.

Turn your gaze toward Iskeld, but the person walks down the boulevard without looking particularly concerned.

"Gru......"

Seto walking next to Ray probably cared about that dish too.

Seto also likes udon quite a bit and eats it in the stalls a lot, even in guilds.

Especially a warm udon eaten in winter while the snow is scattered is one of the happiest of all.

You're not eating? Hey, aren't you eating? I want to eat, there's no way Ray could resist Seto's gaze complaining with his circular eyes that he originally wanted to try that dish too...

"Iskeld, do you have a minute?

"Yeah? What's up?

"I'd like to make a short stop."

That's what I told you. Ray's gaze is pointed at the stall.

He was Iskeld, a little surprised by Ray's words, but opened his mouth with a grin as to whether he remembered anything.

"Right. That dish was conceived by Master Marca when he went to Gilm last year. Wouldn't it be bad to ask Ray from Gilm what it tastes like?"

"I thought about it, it's becoming Gilm's specialty."

"It seems so. Most importantly, it's very different from what's in the Guild."

"I won't deny that"

I felt like I should deny it when I think of Gilm, Ray, but still I was no match for my curiosity about wanting to try it.

The fact that there are many other stalls that make it smell good makes the thought even stronger.

(Most of all, there's no copyright or anything in this world... it's a dish in the first place, so it wasn't a rare story in Japan about being arranged to be another dish)

Convinced within himself… let him go to the stall to be guided by Iskeld.

What surprised me at this time would be the stall owner.

This glacial, celebrity Iskeld, is coming to his stall.

That too, take Ray and Griffon.

"Dad, three drinks, please."

"hey, hey"

Still, there are only merchants, who return to me immediately to start cooking.

Most importantly, cooking itself is not difficult at all.

Because all you have to do is boil the udon, cut the water, and put the condiments on there that look like meat miso.

(I want chopsticks...)

I think Ray stings while eating udon with a fork.

Normally, if you eat udon with soup hanging on it, there is no particular problem with forks, but in a type where you soothe things like meat miso into udon like this udon, forks are less likely to scratch compared to chopsticks.

Although, in Seto's case, the chopsticks are not what they are, but they stick couches in the dishes and eat them.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

He was Seto eating udon with a delightful throat ringing, but that couch is dirty with something like a seasoning meat miso.

(I'll have to wipe it when I'm done eating)

I think I need to remove the cloth from the mystering... while carrying the Udon to my mouth after scratching it with a fork.

It feels like I'm eating pasta with meat sauce, but its udon tasted very different.

It seems that what looked like meat miso was made by boiling the sauce in one way or another, like dark demiglass sauce.

That mixes with the hot water that is still in the udon even after cutting the water, making it more susceptible to tangling in the udon.

The flavour of the intense sauce combined with the flavour of the meat spreads in the mouth a rich flavour that is different from that of jar noodles and juiceless handkerchief noodles.

The flavor of the seasoning is never beaten because the udon is also cut to thickness.

The delicacy is enough to make you want to eat it forever, and the udon goes into your mouth one after the other.

(It's just... you'll get bored if the same flavor goes on forever, and you might want to have something of a drug flavor if you can)

Ray finished eating the udon, even though he thought about it like that while sipping the udon.

"... was delicious"
