Legend

The light of day falls from the window toward the bed.

The light of the day naturally also falls on Ray's face, who was asleep in bed, encouraging him to awaken even if he doesn't like it.

"Mmm...... hmm?

He woke up with an obscure voice. It was Ray, but he stops moving as he wakes his upper body on the bed.

Bo for about a few minutes, stretching wide with a sleepy look, he gets out of bed and checks his physique.

Time is only morning and only a few hours have passed since the battle with Stigma ended and Erinde was briefed on the situation.

No, Ning Luo would be right to say that I could sleep for a few hours.

If it were normal, after diving through all those fierce fights, my nerves would give me the pride of standing up and not being able to sleep, because Ray was falling asleep every time he said it had nothing to do with that.

"Uh, here... oh well"

Reminds me that the room that was given to me was no longer in use in the Stigma raid, and that this room is one of those rooms for direct accommodation not so far from the dean's office.

"... so what am I supposed to do now? Breakfast in the staff dorm? Say hello to Erinde about what happened? I don't think we're gonna keep doing classes like this."

When you turn your gaze out the window whining, it's obvious it's not the kind of time you'd still have to give a class.

Not until early morning, but slightly earlier than usual.

I fell asleep instantly when I came to this room a few hours ago, so if I'm not sure what I'm going to do, the door to the room is inadvertently knocked.

For a moment it was Ray who thought it was Stigma again, but decided he couldn't have bothered to knock even though the enemy was going to ask, and gave him permission to go inside.

"Excuse me, Master Ray. My name is Sween, and I'm a maid, and I've been ordered by Master Erinde to look after Master Ray. For a short time, I will take full care of you so that you do not let me go."

That maid, who gave a deep tribute to Ray, brings the cart with breakfast into the room.

Taking the metal lid, which was kept free of debris and dust, there was a brief breakfast on it, such as bread and soup, salad and sausage.

Besides, even a simple breakfast is not a crude breakfast.

There's a salad for raw vegetables even though it's winter.

Bread and soup were also dishes prepared by leading cooks, each with sufficiently selected ingredients.

The smell of soup and the fragrant smell that drifts from freshly baked bread adds to my appetite no more.

"Here you go. This is the school director's secret tea."

Served to Ray, who arrived at the table, was tea that smelled like fruit somewhere.

Ray didn't know so much about the good or bad of tea, but still, if it meant Erinde's secret tea, he wonders if it would cost the same as gold or silver if he did poorly.

"Are you sure? It's like a secret, so you don't even have that much, do you?

"Yes, I am in a good mood because I have caused a lot of inconvenience to Ray in this case."

"... okay?

Again, the same words come out of Ray's mouth as a few seconds ago, but what that means is very different.

Is the first good, in the sense that you can excite tea, and the next good thing you say is that it's true or you're in a good mood? It meant.

But the maid nods back with a grin at Ray's words.

"Yes, it's fine. That's what the dean ordered me to say."

"Also, a lot of blatant..."

Having said that, Ray was grateful to Erinde.

He called me Saldart, the Rank S Adventurer, to protect himself, so I guess.

... although it was Ray's feeling that the saldart was honest as an escort.

There is no doubt that the Kings have become cheaper in terms of rewards and various conditions than other factions hire Saldart than they are in the form of surrounding Rank S adventurers.

Still, it's not as easy to hire as it is to be a Rank S.

(Although, in the case of Saldart, he seems to take on the personality as soon as he is asked. Especially if the woman asks for it, I feel like I'm going to take on the favor even soon.... it's not always like that)

When you finish eating your breakfast beautifully, the maid cleans up immediately.

It was Ray watching it, but he opens his mouth with a gentle gratuity before the maid leaves the room.

"When breakfast is over and a paragraph is made, Mr. Erinde wants you to come to the dean's office."

"Erinde did?... Ok. I'll send you to the dean's office in a little while."

"Yes, I'll tell you that then"

Tell him so, and when he drops off the maid leaving the room with the cart, Ray thinks about what's to come as she carries the last tea the maid put in her mouth.

Ray originally came to Graciar in order to keep him out of unwanted disturbances over the King's Solemnity of Discipline.

Many people believe that Ray is responsible for this Solemnity of Discipline.

There was also ample possibility that even if I understood it was not the cause, I would be setting something up with Ray on eight hits of angry thoughts.

If we imitate that, even here lately the falling prestige of the Kings falls even further to the earth.

Apart from the ugliness shown in last spring's war against the Bestian Empire, and the great lapse in the failure to bite in full due to civil unrest in the Bestian Empire, there also existed the tyrannical behaviour of the late nobles belonging to the largest faction of the Kingdom of Mireana, the Kings.

That is why he said that he invited Ray in the name of the request to Graciar, home of the Duke of Quent family, a key figure among the Kings, so that Ray would not be involved in it, but the result is the outburst of Holy Light.

If you try to be the Duke of Quent or one of his factions, you'll have to call it the Great Failure.

Fortunately for the Dukes of Quent, is Ray not seeing this lapse as Duke of Quent's lapse?

If Ray claimed that it was the Duke of Quent's fault for this lapse, even the Duke of Quent, who has a great say among the Kings, would have inevitably lost influence.

Most importantly, from Ray's eyes, it was the result of an exchange in the labyrinth city of Exil that Holy Light struck itself, and it was somewhat overstated that it deserved it… but I had the feeling that it was close to it.

"I don't know why I ended up doing something about this one.... it will, won't it? Whatever the Holy Light."

Whimpering, after the last sip of tea, I stand up as I am.

When you get yourself ready easily, you leave the room.

It's not that far from this room where Ray stayed to the dean's office.

We proceeded inside the school building where there were not many signs of people, and eventually we saw a familiar door.

"Erinde, it's Ray, okay?

When I call him as he knocks, he immediately tells me to go inside.

Thus entering the room as before, there were two sights spread: the sight as expected and the sight as unexpected.

The first sight, as expected, was the presence of Erinde and Saldart inside the dean's office.

I guess we were both busy after what happened last night. There is fatigue on my face.

... Most importantly, there was that big commotion at midnight inside the cadet school, so it would be natural to have a hard time fitting it in.

Since Ray did not use flashy magic, there was no disturbance spreading by the students' dormitories, but it was impossible for Ray to hide everything in the staff dormitories where he rented the room.

Naturally. Many former adventurers live in staff dormitories.

While they were there, they did things like break through windows under one roof and escape outside, spreading flames all over the ground, even where there was some distance from the dorm.

Few noticed the sanctuary used by Vicente.

Most of all, I know that it is something I don't know about, but few people have understood that it is a phenomenon caused by the use of force other than magic.

Either way, there was a disturbance that was too intense for me to wake up overnight. It's nearly impossible to hide everything and imitate it to calm down, and still Erinde and Saldart managed to put up the commotion...... specifically, I guess it was mainly Erinde who needed to run around.

Wouldn't you have been able to afford a little more if you had spent some time listening to the situation from yourself or Saldart or preaching? I also thought it was Ray, but if you mouth that, they're going to preach it again, so I won't mouth it.

And an unexpected sight.

Those were the people sitting on the couch for visitors in the dean's office.

One is a girl her age such as whether or not she will be ten years old. Who this person is, Ray also knows his face.

But it's usually impossible to be here early in the morning, Marca Quento.

One of the two standing as an escort behind the couch is Koan, a former Rank A adventurer and Marca escort.

And the other was the one Ray picked up when he came to Graciar, and since then Ray has been in cadet school most of the time, so I never met him. Iskeld, who is also the Knights Commander of the Knights held by the Duke of Quent.

And the last one. It is a man in his fifties or so who is sitting next to Marca and turning his gaze towards Ray.

It was obvious that he was physically active, but still not a first-rate strong man.

Still, this is how I expose my intense presence just because I'm in the same room.

I didn't show Ray how nervous he was in front of such an opponent, because he still emits the same presence - this one is highly combative as a knight in person - and most importantly because he had seen the Emperor Trujist of the Bestian Empire with his eyes.

Compared to the overwhelming presence of the tragist, it could be said that the pressure the person sitting on the couch is now unconsciously releasing is not that great.

The atmosphere felt from the old man… Above all, it was Marka who was next door, and at the point where it was Iskeld standing behind him as an escort, I could understand who the person was.

(This man...)

Kings of a force that greatly outweighs the aristocrats and neutrals.

A big man among the biggest factions of the kingdom of Mireana and a person who is practically doing the solemn discipline of this royal sect.

Turning his gaze only for a moment on the figure, Ray opens his mouth again toward Erinde.

"You called me early in the morning, but it was yesterday."

Erinde smiles bitterly at the words coming out of Ray's mouth as he lowers his hood and reveals his face.

Erinde and Saldart have been trying to clean things up without going to sleep since last night.

If I tried to be such an erinde, early in the morning...... because I could only say I envy Ray for sleeping and waking up.

"Right. We've had a lot of trouble, but Lord Ray seems to have slept well."

Even at dawn all night, Erinde still had the same attitude that neither a man nor a woman could take.

Ray also smiles unexpectedly at Erinde's words like that.

"I haven't slept much enough, but I won't tell you about the luxury.... so you called me..."

Once the word is cut, an old man sits on the couch in the dean's office and watches as he identifies a human being named Ray.

It was immediately understandable to Ray that the person called because he had business with him.

Still, I spoke to Erinde before the man because it was still Erinde who called me here, and most importantly because the old man had not yet been introduced by Erinde.

It would also be significant to hear that the person was being polite in advance.

If you had ignored Erinde, who called himself here, and spoken to that person, you probably would have made him feel uncomfortable over there.

"Oh, of course you're right.... To be honest, I thought it would be a little further before I let you meet Lord Ray. Lord Ray, you have Lord Ronald Quent, Lord of the Duke of Quent."

His own name was put out of Erinde's mouth, and Ronald finally rose from the couch where he was sitting and came to Ray to open his mouth.

"You're Lord Ray. As I've just been introduced, Non is Ronald Quento. You've caused a lot of trouble to the Lord. I'm sorry."

That's what he said, and he offered his hand to ask Ray to shake his hand.
