Legend

That word I heard as soon as I came into the guild draws Ray's attention.

I wouldn't have drawn that much attention if it had always been.

An encounter with a monster is also because it is not so uncommon to happen on the border.

Ray's attention was drawn to the fact that the name of that monster was Cyclops and above all...

"Is that Dietz?

From Ray's mouth comes the name of the man who is rushing to complain at the Alliance counter.

Yes, what was there was the appearance of Dietz, a former guerrilla.

I was asked to crusade the Cyclops the day before, and I heard that the scorching wind and the faces of the former guerrillas went out together, Ray.

So from the name Cyclops and the familiar face the person's name came right out of his mouth.

"Huh? That voice... Captain!? And Master Vihella!?

Ahead of Dietz turning around, there are two familiar faces.

One of them was not very easy to deal with.

Coming from the front of the counter to the Rays like he panicked, he opens his mouth without even hiding the look on Rays' face that he can't believe he's here.

"Hey, why are you here...?

"No, whatever they say. Gilm's where I'm based, isn't he? Of course you are. And, come on, it's time for the captain to stop."

"But the captain is the captain... not! Captain, you've come to a good place. I need your help!

Ray wonders what he will do to Dietz, who tells him with a look exactly like he would even call it a desperate shape.

However, the stray is not whether to help or not, but rather what to do with Vihera and Bühne.

Faces of the long burning winds of dating and dating not that long, but still a comrade who ran the same battlefield as a unit together.

... Most of the time, Ray acted separately from his troops along with Seto, even though he said he ran the same battlefield.

"Just calm down and let me talk to you. I could hear you all the way outside the guild, but you said there were five cyclopses?

When Ray asks to calm Deetz down, he nods instantly.

"Yes, I will. We talked about one sighting of a cyclops, and when we found one, there were five."

"This is not how you came back to the Guild. It wasn't a battle."

Think of the words that came out of that mouth, listening to Dietz's use of words that should also be called the same cousin words.

If it's a battle, the scorching wind and the face of the former guerrillas alone won't win against the five Cyclops. Dietz nods back again to Ray, who asked with that thought in mind.

"Yes, one Cyclops...... no, up to two will win fine, and I think even three will win depending on how they fight. But even with five of them, I can't get my hands on them, so I'm watching Cyclops from a distance for now. You're in the middle of something. Miraine told me to call for backup right away..."

Ray was a little surprised that Mileyne's name came out, not Johanna, but when he remembers that he's surprisingly good friends other than those two, he decides it's not so surprising.

"Five cyclopses? That's a lot of fighting power.... Where is the place?

"You know there's a river not that far from here?

"I know."

The river that previously did the demolition of the monster passes behind Ray's brain.

Upon hearing more about it, Ray's predictions weren't wrong.

Ray nods back at Deetz's explanation that there is a group of cyclopses in the woods where he retraced the river upstream.

That's how I turn my gaze toward Vihera and Bühne, but what I'm back with is no hesitation whatsoever.

It was a great opportunity for Vihera to fight her enemies and for Bühne she was just the right opponent to make money.

Büne can't deal effective damage to the Cyclops on his own, but with faces like Ray, Vihera, and Seto, there's no problem with the attack.

"You're going, aren't you? I don't mind, do I? Not even a face I don't know."

"Mmm."

Ray's gaze pointed at the two, motivated and nodding at each of them.

"Huh? Oh, well, Master Vihella would appreciate it... is it the little one over here?

"Mmm!"

Biune, who was told he was a little one, turns his gaze to Dietz dissatisfied.

Most of all, since it is close to a basically faceless Bühne, there was no one but Ray and Vihera who could properly recognize that he seemed dissatisfied.

Usually, Vihera can't understand the change in Bühne's expression that much anyway.

But now Beaune seemed so dissatisfied that even such a ray could understand.

"Don't worry. This kid was diving in the dungeon with me when I was in Exile. I don't have a problem with strength. … it will be a bit difficult to deal an effective blow to the Cyclops due to a lack of offense"

"Mmm!"

Beune, who told Vihera to protest, takes out the long needle she is good at.

"Well, if I could stab this in the eye of a cyclops, it would be a valid blow.... but it could get pretty violent."

"You don't have to strike a blow, if you can tow it, it's enough.... So that means we're both going together, right?

To Ray, who asks him to confirm, Vihera and Büne nod again without hesitation.

Beyond the fact that this is the Gilm of the Border, both Vihella and Bühne go out armed when they go out to guide us today.

For this reason, it is also significant that you do not have to return to the wheat pavilion at dusk to go straight to support.

"Okay. Then I'll tell the Alliance I'm headed for backup, so get ready for Vihella and the others to leave right away. Where you can rent a horse…"

"I know. So I'll show you right away. My horse's been running at full speed, so we need to get him to rest."

Dietz tells me to block Ray's words.

It hadn't been six months since I came to Gilm, Dietz, but I still knew where the store was needed to act as an adventurer.

Especially when it comes to lending horses, it's a must-have place to work as an adventurer.

The former guerrillas who received carriages and horses as a reward for last year's civil unrest still don't know when they will rent horses, so they must have confirmed the location of the store.

"Okay, then please. Meet me in front of the main entrance."

Tell that briefly, and Ray goes straight to the Alliance counter.

The number of Adventurers in the Alliance is low because it is daytime.

That's why Ray was able to get to the counter with Lenora without having to line up in particular.

The Rays were attracting the attention of adventurers who were in the guild and tavern at the time Dietz was pronouncing the word Five Cyclops, but nature and its attention go to Rays as the Vihelas left the guild to get ready to leave immediately as reinforcements.

"Mr. Ray, I heard you, but you're really going, aren't you?

Ray nods to Lenora as she asks to confirm.

"It looks like the scorching wind and the guys I brought to the guilds are going to wrap up and fight the Cyclops. You can't just leave one alone if you hear there are still five. The procedure…"

"No, not particularly necessary.... I don't think you need to worry if Ray is capable, but I pray for good luck"

"Ray, be careful. This request was originally confirmed by only one cyclops, but suddenly there were five of them here... maybe something happened."

That's what Kenny next to Lenora tells Ray.

"Oh, I appreciate the advice. It's a cyclops to say there are five of them. Maybe we can figure it out."

I guess I remembered Ray's experience in fighting the Cyclops because he talked about it somewhat before.

It also affected that the Cyclops ranked C and Ray's rank was B.

Rank C and Rank D, called veterans, but Rank C and Rank D are very different, even if they are the same veterans.

Speaking of which, the difference is that Rank C monsters are basically opponents where Rank C parties can fight each other, and Rank D monsters can be handled individually.

Rank C is a veteran close to top notch and Rank D is a veteran close to beginners...... something like that?

Of course there are exceptions to everything. For example, despite being a high-ranking adventurer, he's a solo - he has a partner named Seto - but he's like Ray in action.

He had just the ability to call it out of standard compared to the average adventurer, which is why Kenny and Lenora were also somewhat worried but never stopped Ray from heading for reinforcements.

"Please"

"Ray, I don't think you need to worry because it's about you, but don't be alarmed."

He nods small at the words of Lenora and Kenny like that, and Ray turns his heels back and leaves the guild.

The adventurer in the guild turns the gaze of complex emotions like jealousy, vision, joy, sadness and anger onto Ray's back.

As an adventurer, I still had to pay attention to someone with the power of a back belly from the look of Ray.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

The first to welcome Ray out of the guild was Seto, who is there, naturally.

I immediately understood that something must have happened when I saw how Vihella and Büne had left the guild in a hurry.

No, Seto has a sharper sense of five than humans in the first place, so it's not strange to hear Dietz scream in the guild looking for reinforcements to Cyclops' crusade request.

Those who came together to love Seto must have noticed that the signs of Seto had changed abruptly. There were only about a child who knew nothing about those who persisted in trying to play with Seto.

Nor will the child persevere if his parents or adults who were nearby do as they say.

Rising undisturbed by anyone, Seto welcomes Ray out of the guild.

"Sounds like you heard me."

"Gru."

Naturally, Ray strokes its head as he leaks a grin at Seto, who rings his throat.

I was grateful for Seto's presence, which drew my will enough to express even with the breath of Azumi.

Let's go to the main entrance.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

The people on the spot don't know if Ray and Seto are going as far as they're going.

Still, I understood I shouldn't be in the way here.

"Seto, come on."

"Seto, next time I'll feed you some meat to eat, so come home fine"

"I don't know what you're gonna do, but Seto's gonna be fine."

Seto sounds his throat gladly at such a voice that can be hung from his surroundings.... Most of the reason for this was the word "meat".

And the majority of the voices that can be hung from the surroundings… more precisely, almost everything was directed to Ceto, who firmly expressed what position Ceto was in in in the Guild.

I guess the lack of words for Ray is still the result of the usual practice.

Either way, Ray and Seto proceed to the main entrance, even though they are called out like that.

"Seto, I think you were listening, but this time the enemy is Cyclops. And five. When there are five Rank C monsters, it's a little heavy on the load when it's Mileyne and Johanna and the others. We're in a hurry."

"Gru!"

Mileyne and Johanna are close opponents even if they take it to Seto.

If I find out those two are dangerous, I'm naturally not willing to abandon them.

Spring means running through more people's paths than usual.

Naturally a lot of people would be surprised if there was a larger body being like Ceto running, but he even waved for support, as if he had seen something smiling at the same time as he was surprised to understand that it was Ceto running.

Some of them have just come to Gilm and do not know the presence of Seto, but such opponents teach those around them that they are submissive and not dangerous.

That's the only big shock to see Griffon up close for those who aren't used to being told that, but I have to convince them if they say it's about the periphery as well.

... If you ask me if I can see the sight of Griffon running all over the city on the edge of other countries, everyone won't snort honestly.

Anyway, when I ran all over the city and arrived at the main entrance, there was Dietz and Vihera on horseback, and a view of Büne on board so that she could be held in front of Vihera.

Two more horses on which the three of them are riding and two more as replacement horses for when something happens.

You chose a well-tutored horse, and it doesn't look surprising to see Seto.

(We're heading to the battlefield against the Cyclops, naturally)

Whimpering inside, Ray also quickly finishes the process again so as to follow the three of us who had already gone through the process of leaving the city.

Some others were waiting for the procedure, but as soon as we talked about going as reinforcements for the Cyclops crusade, they gave in.

There was kindness, but there was also the thought that we would reduce the risk of being attacked by cyclops in the streets.

At the end of the process, Ray went outside the guild to say a gentle thank you to Langa.
