Legend

Two and one, Ray and Iskeld and Seto, finished eating udon, go down the boulevard with enough belly.

Eventually what I saw was a large building near the center of Graciar.

A number of buildings were built around the building, with vast premises available.

I knew immediately what kind of building it was in front of me, given what Ray had come to this Gracial to do.

Is this the cadet school?

"That's right.... Duke of Quent if it's true... Master Ronald was looking forward to seeing Ray, but I'm busy right now. It's not the same thing."

From Iskeldo's words, Ray, who understood that the name Ronald was Duke of Quent's name… i.e. Ronald Quent was Marka's father's name, somehow understood why Ronald was busy.

"Uh... is that in the matter of Tsukiji Jung-jung?

"Oh. There are a lot of guys with a lot of problems, and Master Ronald is having a lot of difficulty. In that relationship, it will probably be tomorrow night or so."

The tone of Iskeld calling the Duke of Quent's name is familiar.

It was easy to imagine what a tough man in front of me would feel about the person he served.

(Most likely, Marka's father. Besides, I'm pretty sure the Duke of Quent is a good person to watch this Graciar develop. I run this city bigger than Gilm without a shortage, so it's usually awesome)

Normally, the powerful are more or less hated by those below.

But between the time we entered Gracial and Ray came here, the number of those who spoke ill of the Duke of Quent was surprisingly small.

Of course it would be premature to assume that that alone is fully supported by the Duke of Quent.

Still, as far as Ray could see, it was also true that there were more thankful for the Duke of Quent.

(Kings didn't make a good impression.)

The kingship in the lay is still a huge presence of the keepsake, which was also the most recent issue.

Also colorful and memorable is the imperial ugliness shown in last spring's war against the Bestian Empire.

Due to the circumstances around it, there is no doubt that in the lay the image of the Kings was extremely bad.

Most of all, I understood that it would never be the only thing if I thought there was a Marka.

"Ma, fine. I know I'm meeting with the Duke of Quent tomorrow, and I understand I'm going to be the instructor here. But what brings you here now?

"Yeah? Because naturally you're gonna live here while you're a teacher?

"... I'll live there? Here?"

"Oh. I have a staff dorm, so I'm going to have you spend some time there. I would have prepared a mansion, but Master Marka told me Ray didn't like it."

"By the way, can I ask what mansion you were going to have?

"Right, the first thing that came up with the proposal was a pretty big mansion. Anyway, it's a form of kingship gotagota. I suppose those who gave this opinion also suggested that there should be no slight disabling... Marka said that Ray feels rather unfettered."

To Iskeld's words, Ray thanks Marca with all his heart.

(Well said. If it was really such a mansion, I wouldn't have even left... but I would have needed to take the inn)

In the first place, Ray himself doesn't want a life full of people like maids and deacons.

It would be a lie if I told him I wasn't interested, but he still didn't seem to rest mentally that strangers were nearby at 46: 00.

This is different if Ray is the kind of person you're allowing yourself to talk to, but it's not very nice for Ray to be looked after by someone completely stranger.

But if you're going to live in a dorm, there are a few things that are disturbing about that.

The very thing...

"It's a fact that dormitories are better than being provided with mansions like that.... but what would Seto do in that case? You're not gonna let Seto live in a dorm, are you?

"Grrrrrrrr?"

I guess you found yourself being talked about. Seto turns his anxious eyes toward Iskeld as he rattles his throat.

That Iskeld must have already gotten used to Seto's existence. He grins at Seto, who is gazing toward him, reaches out and strokes his head.

"Don't worry. Many are bringing submissive demons and their own horses to this cadet school. Tamer and Summoning Magic."

"Glad to hear that, but subpoena magic to Tamer?... Cadet school, right? I always thought I was only raising knights."

"That's not wrong either. Many people aspire to be knights, and many actually graduate from this school before joining the Knights of the Duke of Quent. But some of those who graduate from this school become adventurers every year."

"... cadet school?

Wasn't it the cadet who took it on himself?

To Ray, who asks so, Iskeld nods without looking particularly like he felt something.

"The name is the cadet school, but the truth is that"

"Nobles don't complain a lot. If you're a nobleman I know, can you stay and study with the civilians! Or why you have to learn with the Lower Bitch who is looking to be an adventurer when you are going to school for the purpose of becoming a knight! Or so I would normally say."

"... you, what aristocracy have you ever been involved with? I don't deny that there are such aristocrats."

Ning Ro, it is only in order to wipe out such nobility that this solemn proclamation of discipline will take place.

Most of all, only those who had exceeded the degree of retention would be eliminated this time.

Seeing that such persons were eliminated, the aim was that those who had previously behaved arrogantly might also change their minds.

As for Ray, I didn't expect the aristocrats to change attitudes so easily though.

"You had all kinds of nobles. Naturally, some of them felt favorable. But some of them are like the keepsakes that caused this one. Most…"

"Most?"

"Oh, no. Nothing."

It's not like the Kings are the only ones with that kind of nobility. There are more Ningro aristocrats, but I will stop along the way to say.

Naturally Iskeld will also understand that nobles of the aristocracy have such nobility.

But still, I didn't mean to say anything here that would disadvantage the aristocracy.

Thanks to Marka, there was never an excessive sense of hostility directed against the Kings, but it still makes a lot of sense to have learned of the existence of the Keep.

There is also a brother-in-law against the aristocracy of Elaine, but in today's lay, the aristocracy is still heavier in the kings and aristocracy.

... but if the Neutralists had come in there, we might have talked differently.

"I'm going in anyway. I'm in class now, so it's not noisy, but if I can find me after class, I'm gonna be in a lot of trouble."

"Trouble?

"I look like this, I'm a celebrity of sorts in Graciar. Besides, I'm not the only one. Even you carry a Griffon, so it stands out enough. Then we'll make sure you get in trouble, too. I think it's a different kind of hassle."

Ray somehow understands what Iskeld is trying to say.

If only you were seen, you would be less likely to be judged an adventurer with a deep red alias.

It's not like I have a death size now, or just because I'm dressed in a dragon robe with a cover-up effect, it's something like being recognized as an adventurer and a wizard of creation, as usual.

But... with Seto next to Ray, I can quickly understand who Ray is.

Because there is no one but Ray, such as the one who is subjugating Griffon.

(Well, I can't deny the possibility that there's actually a guy who's using Griffon as his obedience just because he's not on the table. No, Ning Ro, I'm convinced. There seems to be a lot of lurking behind this world)

Fu, I am reminded of the Holy Light religion I encountered in Eggzil behind Ray's brain.

I haven't encountered it since, but that just wouldn't have coincidentally overlapped where Holy Light is active with Ray's.

Most importantly, the Holy Light Church itself also conveys the matter in Egzil in the Kingdom of Mireana, where many places are seen with harsh eyes.

Still not totally excluded, because that's all you benefit from the existence of holy light?

(Well, I guess it was big that I was in the Bestian Empire. After that, I went straight back to the peripheral guild.... Then only the Kingdom of Mireana is acting? Even in the smaller countries around us. Normally it works and it does.)

Ray had a slightly unpleasant feeling, but he accidentally felt something warm in his hand and turned his gaze towards you.

There, Seto was gently rubbing his head against Ray's hand.

Cheer up, as if expressed in attitude.

"Sorry, Seto. Well, can't you help worrying about me?"

"Yeah? What's up?

Iskeld, who was watching Ray and Seto interact, asks with a look that he doesn't understand what happened.

"No, it's nothing. Better get inside than that. If you stay here, you're gonna make a scene, let's just get inside."

Even with this happening now, those passing near the cadet school are turning their gaze to the Rays.

He who first looks at Seto and opens his eyes in amazement, then looks at Iskeld with him for relief, and finally looks at Ray with the kind of look he's convinced, or why is a child like this with Iskeld? Half of them raise questions like that.

It will be those who know the rumors about Ray who get a convincing look at Ray.

The question comes to mind are those who have no idea about Ray, or who, even if they do, consider Ray to be an associate of Iskeld, not Griffon?

Whatever it is, Ray, Iskeld and Seto enter the cadet school with all sorts of gaze from those around them.

(If nobility or something goes by, it sounds good to have a gatekeeper or something... but you don't look like anyone at all. It's the Duke's territory, so there's no reason you can't hire a gatekeeper, so it's intentional?

While I doubt it, I follow Iskeld.

Walking enough as it was, I eventually saw a four-story building.

I know it's been quite a few years since they built it, but I guess that's why they've taken care of it, still making you feel history instead of smelling old.

"This is the staff dorm where Ray is going to live."

"... Hey, Iskeld. I don't mind if this is the staff dorm, but what's going on with Seto's stables? I'd like to see you first."

You didn't expect words like that to return, Iskeld opens his mouth with a look poked at his void for a moment.

"Of course, I'll give you a good guide. I was just the first to show you around because this staff dorm was close."

"Right. Well, good to see you at the stables.... Let me ask you something, but you're talking through it, aren't you?

Ray asks looking at Seto.

I bring a monster about Griffon, because I think it would be absolutely amazing who cares if we don't keep it through the stories around.

It is Ray's contention that most people can get along if they spend some time with Seto.

(Mileyne and Johanna go way too far for a lot of things though)

Driving two people out of their heads who are pouring excessive love into Seto, they go down the road with Iskeld.

That's how we arrived at the stables, which are more than enough walking distance from the staff dormitories.

"... a lot smaller"

I looked at the stables and that was the first word Ray said.

In fact, the stables at the end of your gaze are by no means huge.

It is smaller than what is in the wheat pavilion at dusk.

If we consider it a stables of cadet schools where large numbers of nobles and civilians gather, we obviously had to question that stables.

"Oh. It's not for cadets at the cadet school, it's a stables for officials, including instructors, to use. This size is enough."

"... are you deliberately splitting it?

"It will. Let's go. I don't have time for that either. I'll show you here and your room, and I'll have the cadet take your place."

Tell him so, Iskeld entering the stables.

Ray and Seto go after it...... naturally there will be small noises like surprise when the person in charge of the stables looks at Iskeld, surprise when they look at Seto, and doubt when they look at Ray, but still there was nothing like a big noise because there was no other kind of building around this stables.
