Legend

"This, Master Vihella. Well done. You've come all the way down to such a border. Since last fall."

"Yeah, it's been about six months. We've had a lot of busy last year, but you look fine, too."

When Vihera and Buune, guided by the maid, enter the reception room, Dusker, who was sitting on the couch, greets the two with a grin.

When Ray came to this mansion, it would probably be an exchange in the office, but even though the opponent ran away, if he was also the Empress of the Bestian Empire, naturally those who would welcome him would also be asked for such formats and courtesies.

The fact that Dusker's use of words is not in the usual blurry tone would also go with it.

Encouraging Vihera and Büne to sit on the couch, leaving the tea and cookies brought by the maid and leaving the reception room, Dusker finally opens his mouth like that.

"I suppose I should be greeted with a grand ceremony because I would have come to this neighborhood more like Vihella..."

Vihera shakes her neck to the side so as to block the word.

"No, never mind. As you know, I have already left the Bestian Empire. If you can treat me like an adventurer, that's fine.... naturally this kid too"

"Mmm."

Biune, gently pushed forward by Vihella, bows his head deeply toward Dusker.

Büne is also from the fame of the historic Frauto family in Exil, but the fame of the autonomous city and the active frontier uncle… it is also different in character from Dusker, who governs the only frontier of the Kingdom of Mireana.

Before that, the Frauto family had already fallen, and Bühne is, in one way or another, a perception of ordinary people.

"This kid's a little under circumstance and he's not good at talking, but he's called Beaune Flaut."

"Do you want this child?"

"Yeah. He's like my precious sister. Naturally, to a certain extent... No, I'd say you'd be quite skilled at this age."

"I see, that's interesting. As for this one, as long as you're happy to have an armed adventurer come to the guilds on the periphery.... Just Dear Vihella"

"Please stop talking like that. And you don't have to be too polite in your tone. I don't mind if it's the same as usual. I ran away because I didn't like being tough like that."

Vihera tells her with a small shoulder clasp.

Naturally, in doing so, the rich double hills shake and try to take Dasker's eye away, but Dasker disciplines himself strongly to keep his gaze away from you.

... If Dusker had had no tolerance for these colors, he would have been blinded by Vihella's limbs, even if he didn't like it.

But Dusker was resistant to something called intense hue.

It takes the form of a fortunate relationship with a dark elf marina for many years, like the one that has maximized the luster of a woman.

In my childhood, I guess the fact that I proposed to that marina also has to do with my resistance to colour.

Either way, Dusker, who was told he wouldn't mind using the usual language, opens his mouth with a little thought.

"So let me use the usual language, okay?

"Yeah, do that. In the first place, even when I was in the Bestian Empire, there were quite a few people in my faction who didn't use polite language."

A man waves the Battleax in both hands with a grin behind Vihella's brain past him.

I know you didn't guess that, but Dusker smiles bitterly and opens his mouth.

"To the Empress of a Nation... it's a great deal of nerve to talk to the Empress of a great power like the Bestian Empire as usual"

"Really? You're talking to me like you usually do, too?

It was Vihera telling her as she carried the tea to her mouth, but Dusker shook her neck small and sideways.

"Because I'm talking about the current Lord Vihera. Even if I encountered it with some mistake when I was in the Bestian Empire and they told me to use shattered words... well, how'd it go"

Whimpering, Dusker offers the cookies that were on the table to Beaune.

Biune, who was eating cookies as hard as if they were squirrels or something, reminisced of a small animal and thought of Seto in the back of Dusker's brain.

(I don't care how big or how small the animal is, but it looks like a small animal when you're eating food.... I can also snort the popularity)

Thinking about Seto, Vihera sitting in front of you rushes back to consciousness when she gets into her eyes.

"Well, that's it. I know you're not thinking anything strange about Gilm, that Langa called you and you're here honestly, but for what purpose? Did something happen to you about last year's civil unrest?

While I asked, I didn't even think Dusker would do that with the Vihera personality he knew.

I wondered what Langa had when she told me she had an urgent report when I was working, but as far as we're talking like this, it doesn't look like she's up to something.

(For example, were you interested in the border? … can that be normal)

The border would have existed in the Bestian Empire as well, but it is also true that Vihela, who was in the position of Empress, is not such an easy place to get to.

If so, it's not strange to come to Gilm wanting to experience the border once and for all.

Also, although it is put together in a lump sum by the word periphery, the monsters that come out depending on the periphery are different.

Given the character of Vihera, who prefers to fight, it was not strange to do the act of touring the borders of each country.

But to Dusker's words, Vihera shook her neck to the side.

"I was originally planning on coming to Gilm in the spring to rendezvous with Ray. I just didn't know if I was going to bring Beaune, but there's a few things I need to know."

"... may I ask what the circumstances are?

"Yeah. Do you know the religion of Holy Light...

"If it's about a name. Happy or unhappy, Gilm is quite famous in the aristocratic territory that belongs to the neutrals, although in the position of the border there is no way that Holy Lightism comes in. … but since last year's incident, there has been an increase in the number of wary people."

Dusker's position, who is also a central figure in neutralism, suggests that the existence of Sacred Lightism seems very troublesome.

You don't have to worry about it in the Guild, but that's why you have to draw attention to the nobles who belong to the faction in their position.

"I guess. It's troublesome in many ways. Me and Büne were also attacked in Egzil by assassins who were thought to be Holy Light men. So I decided it would be dangerous to leave Bühne here in Exil, and this is how we came to the Guild together."

"... also troublesome"

If you believe in the words of Vihela, it feels like you are saying that Holy Light comes after beings like Vihela and Bühne.

Whilst complaining in his mouth, Dusker's gaze was directed towards Büne, who was cheeky like a small animal next to Vihera.

I don't sneak that this girl will be targeted by Holy Light, but I still want to avoid as much trouble as I can with Gilm as Dusker stands.

But...... Vihera opens her mouth before Dusker says something.

"By the way, Ray was also attacked by a Holy Light assassin in Gracial, right?

……

If I hear that word, I won't be able to talk to Dusker about wanting him to leave cheaply, either.

I guess that means I trust the power of a person named Ray.

In fact, Ray's prowess is very reliable for Dusker, and the fact that he's using Griffon's Seto as a submissive demon means he travels faster than a normal cavalry.

It will also exert great power when it comes to transporting supplies using item boxes, as it did during the war against the Bestian Empire last spring.

Aside from his pure power, Ray was a dependable figure.

It's not like we've been dating for many years... but we're still someone we trust and trust more than we've been dating for almost two years.

Speaking to the person in front of you asking you to leave because it's troublesome to relate to Holy Light, that makes Ray have to ask you to leave Gilm again, too.

Of course I can't necessarily keep Ray, Vihella and Bühne together because of the length of the relationship.

But if it is inevitable that it can be rubbed with Holy Light, then the power of Vihera will be of great benefit to Gilm.

Consider both the pros and cons of having Vihella in the Guild for a while...

"Okay. I want Lord Vihella to take his time in this guild."

Ultimately, he chose to accept Vihera.

"Really? Well, if I can stay with Ray, I'd be happier that way. I want to stay in the Guild if I can because of this girl."

"... hmm?

A beaune stuffed with cookies all over her cheek, did you call? and gaze toward Vihera.

That appearance, as Dusker had earlier considered, reinforced the impression of small animals.

"Come on, right. Right. Why not imitate such a child? All right, I'll allow Lord Vihella to operate in the Guild in my name. … but I'd like you to refrain from imitating too many men."

The gaze was directed at thin clothes covering enticing limbs.

"Oh, I'll take anyone's challenge, won't I? As a woman, I belong to Ray, but I want to fight."

"... I don't mind Lord Vihella thinking so, but it's troublesome that Gilm's security is disturbed by that. Originally, this guild is home to many adventurers. And often, adventurers have a lot of blood. There must never be too many short-circuited assaults on Lord Vihella."

"I'm sure people like that will regret their misdemeanor behavior."

"If you'd stop dressing like that, there wouldn't be a blood-leader."

Vihera grins provocatively at Dusker, who tells her in a sigh.

If I see that grin, I understand that there's nothing like Vihella stopping me from dressing now, even though I don't like it.

In the end, all Dusker could do was stab the nail that he would have to punish him if the degree passed because he would treat him as a normal adventurer.

"Oh, there you are, Mr. Ray. It's been a long time..."

Lana, the general of the wheat pavilion at dusk, groans so when she finds Ray entering the inn.

Because Ray has been using this inn for a long time, the language was used against him rather than against him.

That would be natural, too. This evening wheat pavilion enters the luxury of an inn in Gilm.

Naturally, there are many people who use such accommodation for a short period of time, and not many people, like Ray, continue to stay for a long period of time.

... there's a lot of earned adventurers in there like Ray.

That's why if you keep staying in the inn for a long time, it'll seem like you're in there for Lana, too.

Now he was sitting at the counter taking a break from whether the inn job was just a paragraph in the day or not, and he had a cup with some kind of beverage on hand.

"It's been since I left in the winter. So, I'd like to get my room again. And Seto, please."

Ray talked about trying to get a room, as he had done before, but it was Lana's suspicious look back.

"Taking the room... that little lady paid you six months in advance, didn't she?

"... what?

Ray, who didn't know what he was told for a moment, makes a loose voice in between after a few seconds of silence.

"So, six months...... no, it's been two months since then, so I've got about four months left, but I've been paid upfront for that stay"

"... you marca, you imitate the flavor"

Apart from the flame ore, Ray told me with a small grin about Marka, who had prepared a reward for the price of the inn, but eventually reminds me of the story of Vihera and Buune staying in this inn as well.

Exactly. Though even Marca would never be paying for a stay in Vihera or Buune.

"Two women, I think they'll be here in a little while, so I want those two rooms ready"

"Oh, could it be..."

Ray continues his words as he flushes Lana, who is turning a meaningful gaze.

"I want you to ask me if it's going to be a two-person room or two one-person rooms after those two come along. It's called Vihera and Beaune, and I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing it because it stands out."

"That's boring. Okay, I get it."

While making Ray seem bored not to come on the story, Lana will be the face as Inn's general.

To Lana like that, Ray asks again about Seto and heads to his room.

... Lana, who saw Vihera and Bühne come into the Inn, understood what Ray said was remarkable.
