Legend

"Hi, Mr. Ray. It's been a long time."

One line for the Rays who arrived at Gilm...... I was escorting a merchant to be exact, so maybe I should call him a merchant line, but it was the guards of Gilm who naturally took the line anyway.

What surprised Ray more than anything in all that was that there was someone in that person he was used to seeing.

Strong faces and a large physique will get away with it as soon as a weak minded opponent encounters it at night.

But I should say that the appearance and personality did not match, or it was a calm voice that came out of the person's mouth.

(A gentle personality with a strong appearance... it's not weird to imagine Mr. Bear in the Woods, is it? Well, bears in this world can monster, not very, but I can't say they're sweet. No, if you say that, are Japanese bears the same?)

Does it also affect that the first time Ray comes to this world and encounters a Rank C monster waterbear, he opens his mouth looking at Ranga like that?

"So this is how you came back, is that enough for the Count Eriel family?

In the first place, the reason Ray got out of the guild and was to be a cadet school instructor in Graciar... that was the duel after the rub that happened between him and Keepsake, the son of the Earl of Eriel family.

From there things go on in a half-chain reaction, and as a result things get bigger until the King's Solemnity of Discipline.

In the meantime, Langa was on her way to Count Eriel's territory to seize the assets the Count Eriel family had hung for the duel.

He was a langa who traveled in the winter, but by this time of year in the spring, he was back properly.

But I guess that's natural. As you can see from the two merchants that Ray was escorting this time, many come to Gilm to purchase goods in the spring.

Because of its special location on the border, there are many objects available only here within the Kingdom of Mireana.... No, even if you look around all of this world, there are many things like materials and items that are specific to this area.

That is why merchants come not only from within the Kingdom of Mireana, but also from other countries on purpose.

That is also from the Bestian Empire, which has been hostile to the Kingdom of Mireana for many years.

At a time when such people are coming in large numbers, the work of the guards naturally peaks in busyness.

The end of autumn...... it was at this time of year that the guards were busy, as was the busyness just before it snowed.

It is unlikely that Langa, the captain of the guard force, will not be here just that time of year.

So are the facial ones, but most importantly because they can't be judged unless they are langa.

... Yes, for example, dealing with the fact that the Second Empress of the Bestian Empire is about to enter the Guild with Ray, even though she ran away.

"Yeah. I can handle the other one.... Mr. Ray, she..."

Langa clouds her words with her gaze toward Vihera.

The civil war in the Bestian Empire last fall was also deeply involved with the neutrals and nobles of the Kingdom of Mireana.

Dusker also gained the characteristics of key figures of the Bestian Empire in the matter, some of which, as a matter of course, had information on Vihera.

She is a flash-faced beauty who attracts people, wears a thin costume that looks like inviting a man like a whore or dancer, and wears a armor on her hands and feet, and a toenail.

If you're a characteristic person from now on, you can't be wrong about Langa listening to you from Dusker even if you don't know exactly what you look like.

Furthermore, there is information that the person has a deep love for Ray, which supports the rumor in that he is with Ray.

I guess Ray also understood that Langa had conjectures about Vihera's identity. Returns a small nod.

"... I'd like you to meet Master Dusker once, if you can. What do you say?

"That's right. What do we do?"

Rather than a request, Ray turns his gaze toward Vihera for that word, which is closer to a plea.

The two merchants and Magita didn't know what Langa was talking about, and Seto was happily throbbing at the other guards for dried meat.

With such a glimpse of the surroundings, Vihera eventually nods back when she finally turns her gaze to Ray.

"You can't help it. I would have needed to see the lord of Gilm no matter what I did. All right. It's just, can we go to the guild and finish reporting the request?

"Of course I don't mind. … please contact Master Dusker when the Alliance has finished reporting and has time."

"Yeah, thanks"

After a brief exchange of words and quick completion of the process of entering the city, he enters the gates.

The guard who had set up Seto at that time had an unfortunate look on his face, but if he saw some of them lined up behind the Rays, he couldn't even say it, and he would give up immediately.

That's how I got inside the guild...

"Whoa, that's different from Sabursta... Abuelo didn't make that difference from Sabursta"

Mumble smudgingly as Magita looks around the perimeter of the guild.

Compared to Sabursta and Abu Ero, the number of people crossing the city was high and, above all, different in vibrancy.

periphery, but therefore its vitality is clearly busy compared to that of other cities.

Especially many would still be adventurers.

It could be said that the unique sight of Gilm was that the adventurer's appearance would always be visible wherever he turned.

Similar sights can be seen in labyrinth cities like Exil, but the existence of a labyrinth city that has never been there for Magita is completely out of my mind.

"Look, let's go. First of all, the guild."

Ray calls out to Magita, who is looking at the surrounding area in a spectacular way.

In the words, Magita gives a disgruntled look.

"I don't need to go to the guild. I wasn't asking for it."

"You'll cause problems if I leave you alone. If they did that when you were with me, you wouldn't be able to do it. And..."

Stop the words once so as not to wear them, draw Magita's attention and then open her mouth again.

"There are a lot of guys in the Alliance who are stronger than you."

"Go"

Instant Instant...... No, Ray smiles bitterly and turns his gaze toward Vihera and Bühne to Magita, who has told him like a spinal reflex.

There were two people there who were getting a merchant's autograph to complete the request.

"Master, let's get to the guild."

I don't think Ray was reluctant until earlier. Has Ray gotten a little faster at Magita's appearance? I also think.

It is true that there are more armed adventurers in the Alliance than Magita.

But now it's daytime.

Many of the adventurers have been asked, and now they will be in the guild, like the Vihelas, who have finished their requests, or the Rays, who hate the crowd and are looking for a requisition for their free time.

Or those who decide today is a holiday and drink in a liquor store?

Either way, there's basically more likely to be no adventurer like Magita expects.

(Did you stir it up a little too much?

While thinking it might have been too much, Ray turns his gaze to the two merchants who come closer to him.

"Mr. Ray, I'm so glad you're here this time. If I could, I'd like to see you again on request this time..."

"Well, if I get a chance, I'll let you do the favor."

"... this time it helped"

Don't bluff. The merchant reaches out with the same attitude.

When I hold that hand back, are you satisfied with that? The two merchants take the carriage and leave.

The horse, who ended up never getting used to Seto completely until the end, was in a good mood towing the carriage, feeling like he was finally at ease with this.

Dropping off the carriage disappearing into the mess, only four people and one ceto are here: Ray, Vihera, Büne and Magita.

(Well, it would be more right to have four and one than just to say four and one)

If you think purely, you could say that this group has a vicious fighting power at a time when there are forces like Ray, Seto and Vihera.

However, the fact that it's spring means more new adventurers will come to the guild...

"Hey, isn't that a great woman? And with clothes on that body? I wonder how much?

"Come on, you just came to the guild, but you're not a woman anymore... are you?"

Two adventurers passing nearby look at Vihela and exchange words.

Especially one adventurer is blinded by its beauty the moment he sees Vihella, he is distracted, he even takes his thoughts away.

I smile bitterly at my partner, who sees Vihera with a hot gaze, that the first adventurer man to find Vihera has no choice.

So much so that Vihera is an attractive woman, because that's all women wear thin clothes that only seem to be for the purpose of inviting guys like dancers and whores to wear.

The unfortunate thing for the men would have been that their consciousness was completely anchored to Vihera.

That wasn't just the man who fell in love in an instant after a glance at Vihera, as was the man who first found Vihera.

I guess that means Vihella has the suction for the man's gaze, but if the men were a little more careful, they would have noticed Seto eating a sandwich he got from a passerby near that ray, not Ray...

That way, I guess I found Seto nearby, an adventurer known as Deep Red, at the point where he was carrying a Griffon.

"Uh, hey, aren't those guys trying to get a little out on Ray?

"What? No way, there's a guy who imitates that stupid... oh, I see. You said they came to Gilm recently."

"Shouldn't we stop? It's about Ray, so you think if he hangs a weird little, he'll fight back?

"Right. Just give me a minute. I'm gonna say a little bit."

Three other adventurers returning from a request see and talk to a group including Ray and a pair of people approaching you, and one of them runs away like he panicked.

If that adventurer was someone he didn't care about, he might have left it alone, but he was somewhat confident when he spoke in the guild, but he couldn't leave it alone because it was good for the public.

"Hey, you guys. Stop giving that bitch a bite."

Suddenly the two adventurers, hung with such words, turn a grumpy glance at those who speak.

But when I found out that it was the senior adventurer I had spoken to on several occasions in the guild there, the look disappeared as well.

"I don't know what to do, suddenly"

Senior adventurers exhale into words that return in such a way that they don't know what they're talking about.

"The guy you guys were trying to hang on to is dangerous in many ways. If you want to be an adventurer for a long time in this guild, never be hostile to him."

"... is that woman that big?

"Sure, she's as good a woman as I've ever seen, but not that big..."

"No."

Senior adventurers immediately deny the two words that are fundamentally mistaken.

"The person I'm talking to is not a woman. No, indeed, as far as this is concerned, that woman is fascinating. That's as much as I'd like you to deal with me for days instead of nights. But I'm not talking about women, I'm talking about men in robes."

"... the man?

"Is that the little guy?

"That's right. You look...... no, it would be hard to tell because you're wearing a hood, but you look a little bit like a man under that hood. However, the only thing that is beautiful is the appearance and the contents are quite elusive. If you want to live and go in the Guild, don't imitate him."

"You don't look so strong."

One of the pair of adventurers whines in such a way as to be unconvinced by the word, but the senior adventurer who heard it sighs like a sneer and puts his gaze a little away from Ray and Vihera...... for some reason he turns toward Griffon, who is eating a sandwich while being stroked by a 10-year-old girl.

"Look at that one. Take a good look. Don't forget."

The two adventurers, who have been told over and over again, finally find themselves in its presence...... they notice the Ceto of Griffon.

"Hey!? G., Griffon!?

"Ugh, why are you here... wait, wait. Griffon? When I say griffon, I'm sure..."

Senior adventurers quickly say the answer to that adventurer who is trying to remember from the knowledge in his head whether he finally figured something out.

"That's right. He's the Rank B Adventurer and already has an alias, a deep red that worked in last spring's war. My real name is Ray."

"Deep red..."

"Such a child is deep red...?

He was the two adventurers who would turn their gaze to the senior adventurer if you were joking, but only a serious gaze would come back.

Thus, the two adventurers could not even speak to Vihera, but would flauntingly drop off the line of Rays leaving.
