Legend

Sometimes it was almost evening when Ray entered the guild and there was a lot of adventurer appearance there.
These are the people who have made the request, and those who have defeated the monsters and replaced their crusade proof sites, demon stones, and materials with gold.
Still, it's not entirely evening yet, so I haven't been here long after evening.
Many of the rewarded adventurers are headed to a mixed tavern, and there are far more guests there than there are during the day.
If Ray were in such a large crowd, he would naturally be buried.
Originally never tall, and if you wear a dragon robe hood, not so many people can recognize Ray as Ray.
Now if the face of a former guerrilla fleeing the Cyclops were already in the guild, he would have headed somewhat forcefully to front of familiar receptionists like Lenora and Kenny, but fortunately Langa had told me that he was the first to come to the guild.
(I don't like this crowd... this is why I don't like coming to the guild in the evening or in the morning)
Ray sighs inside as he lines up to the receptionist.
To such a ray, the adventurers around them gaze strangely.
It's because it's small and luxurious from what I've seen, and it doesn't look like a solo adventurer.
Could it have pushed Ray to say that it smelled like trouble for someone to get in line? Some felt that, but no one would speak of it.
It's a violation of manners to talk about other party issues.
It would be different if there were some kind of abuse that was somewhat terrible, but I can't even say it's particularly terrible to just see it lined up.
I know you realized it would be Ray if you had the hood down, but I didn't feel like imitating that in this crowd.
I never thought I was being looked at like that, and Ray looks around.
The large number of people can no longer be helped, so I tried to kill my spare time until it was my turn at all.
As such, Ray, who was looking around, notices that there are several matrices of different lengths.
(Why?
I questioned Ray, but I can quickly solve that question.
Because I overheard the words of an adventurer lined up next to Ray.
"Today is the day to invite Kenny... for dinner tonight..."
"Silly. You tell me to give up. Anyway, Kenny said he wouldn't invite you to dinner so easily right now. It would be annoying for other guys to invite you to dinner even though you were in such a line before that. You're just gonna make a bad impression, Kenny."
"Well, thank you very much."
"Wouldn't it be annoying if the receptionist invited you when you weren't still busy?
"No, 'cause we're out in the middle of the day, too."
"That's when you don't have a request on holiday or something"
The adventurer opens his eyes to see if the word was surprising.
"Oh well. You don't have to look for a favor or come to the guild."
"No, that's not now. They come to the tavern and everything."
From the conversation I hear, Ray also understood that the length of the queue that existed in front of the receptionist represented the popularity of that receptionist.
Of course that's not all that popular if the queue is long......
Even if the matrix is long, the matrix won't be that long if you process reports and redemptions so quickly.
Thinking about the high popularity of Lenora and Kenny, eventually the line goes on and it's Ray's turn.
"... Huh? Mr. Ray?"
Even though Lenora gives a flash of surprise when she understands that the person who showed up in front of her is Ray, she soon returns to her attitude as a receptionist.
"Correct. I was wondering if they'd notice."
When I smiled and lowered the hood, it was naturally Ray's face that was there.
Those who were lined up right behind Ray and adventurers who were going through various procedures at the counter next door give a surprising look.
... Naturally, so is Kenny at the counter next to Lenora.
"We've been dating for quite a while now. So, what's up? I think he was in the woods about the Cyclops."
"Oh, you solved it safely. It's just that before we arrived, there were other Cyclops than the five we reported, and Mileyne and the others did people to Gilm to deal with it. I had the purpose of letting you know I don't need that anymore..."
To Ray's words, Lenora hurriedly reaches for documents nearby.
It's from that thought that someone might have handled the matter.
Originally in this case of the Cyclops crusade, Dietz reported that the Cyclops who would otherwise act alone were acting together, and there were various strange things.
So maybe the other receptionists are getting that report... it was an act from that thought, but Ray waits for Lenora like that to hang up.
"Don't worry. I got confirmation from Langa when I entered the guild. Apparently the guy who came to report on the matter hasn't arrived in Gilm yet. Seto, you're so different."
"I see.... yeah, apparently so. I don't think there's anything else going on around here yet."
For the sake of confirmation, Lenora exhales with relief after glancing at an important report.
"And that's how I was standing in line."
"Ray, then why don't you get in line for me?
Kenny, who was dealing with other adventurers next to Lenora, speaks out like that for Ray.
Still, I guess I'm not talking to you like I always do, because there are still so many adventurers lined up in front of me.
Despite Ray's presence, it's only natural as a receptionist not to run wild and do a decent job, but Lenora, who saw it, finally took Kenny seriously too! and I think of my past with all my heart.
Chest, chest, chest, chest...
"Yikes! Hey, hey, Lenora. Why are you staring at me so much?
It wasn't Kenny who was a receptionist or an adventurer, but I don't know if he's a cat beast man but a late wild prospect or simply a woman prospect, but I feel like a killer from Lenora.
Ray also had the look of surprise when he suddenly saw how Lenora looked in front of him turned into a leopard.
"Oh, oh? I'm sorry, Kenny. If I remember anything I've ever done, it's natural..."
I'm not deluding you. I'm not deluding you.
It was Kenny speaking unexpectedly, but I had to deal with the adventurer, and I can't speak any more.
Keeping Kenny back at his job that way, Ray opens his mouth toward Lenora to re-compartmentalize.
"So I was just wondering about Cyclops."
"Do you care? What is that..."
"There was a red cyclops that seemed to lead the normal cyclops. I think this one is either a rare species or a superior species..."
"Are you a rare or superior species of cyclops? That's certainly troublesome.... but the fact that Mr. Ray fought naturally knocked him out, didn't he? It's rare to have a rare species of demon stone."
Did you firmly remember that Ray has a hobby of collecting demon stones, and Lenora doesn't have a particularly serious look on her face?
I had decided that I had a hobby of collecting demon stones in the sense of securing demon stones to consume for warcraft, but Ray is surprised that I remembered that.
"Oh, no. Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but actually, that cyclops had a hammer of strange magic items."
"... Cyclops got a magic item?
I guess it was surprising. Lenora repeats after a slight silence.
Adventurers who were lining up behind Ray, adventurers who are giving Kenny the paperwork to complete the request, and adventurers who are opposite Kenny, are also somewhat listening to Ray's words, and apart from not putting them on their faces, I'm heartily surprised.
Cyclops are monsters specializing in physical methods of attack, a limiting thing that releases as a shock wave from a single eye, even if it is the only magic that can be used.
Yet using magic items was not believable.
"Above all, the red cyclops were considerably larger than the regular cyclops. And the magic item felt just right for that big cyclops to use. If it's a normal demon sword or something, it's too small for cyclops to use, but I felt a little manipulative around it."
"Right. Normally, cyclops can't have magic items that make it easy to use windy cyclops, such as rare or superior species. For example, I'm curious about what Ray thinks is manipulative."
Squeeze as Lenora was convinced by Ray's words.
"Right? Thought I should report the area for once. I'm bringing that magic item, too, but what do we do? If you want to see it, you can let it out."
Where's that magic item? That doesn't get out of Lenora's mouth.
Naturally because I know Ray has an item box.
"Well, can you please? If you're an Alliance employee, you might find out what it is."
"I don't mind that, but it's narrow here, huh? The red cyclops just had it and it's pretty big, and it's heavy. That's about as much damage to the floor as you might get if you take a detour here.... Oh, and this magic item was once held by the red cyclops I defeated, so you mean mine, right? If I have to submit it to the guild or something, I'm having a little trouble."
"I don't know where anybody made it. Using a magic item is... No, that was normal"
Most of the adventurers who were there nodded at Lenora's troubled words.
Of course it's true that it's best to use a magic item that the alchemist knows exactly that it was made, but a magic item is basically expensive.
Unless you are talking about a demon sword that can't even be called a demon sword, to the extent that it is lightly enchanted by a normal long sword, but if it is a decent demon sword, it is worth the price.
Even if this is a magic item whose origins are unknown, those who gain it are often happy to make it their own.
… there is a possibility that the curse is hanging.
Also, a magic item like the one you get in the dungeon would be the last thing you know who the creator is.
Still, it is also a great opportunity for those who find magic items, and naturally make them their own.
"Right. Besides, it's not like I'm gonna use it as it is."
"That's right. It's a magic item just the right size for Cyclops to use, so it's just impossible for Ray to use it..."
"No, I think I could probably use it if I wanted to, but I don't want to use it that much. I never used hammers in the first place. Well, then you should use it effectively, right?
"Effective use, is it? Um, can I ask you something?
I find myself trying to snort at Lenora's words, attracting the attention of my surroundings.
On the contrary, there is usually a silence in the guild that should be extremely lively.
As noisy as ever in the tavern, it's not entirely silent, but most of those on the Alliance's side... that's what even the Alliance staff at the counter were paying attention to Ray's words.
If you talk about how you are willing to use a magic item in this situation, you decide that there will be a lot of people after you, and you shoulder to deceive the story for now.
"I'll keep that a secret. However, if it works out, it could be a lot of fun. Whether you can do that or not."
Make another magic item using one already as part of the ingredient.
Normally, it seemed quite impossible, but the same thing was true of turning the demon sword of noise into a spear if you were to say so.
Most likely, in the case of hammers, the difficulty is high in the sense that they are synthesized with the Devil's Sword.
(Plus, if you can make only a portion of that hammer into the ingredients of a magic item, you can make quite a few magic items)
A hammer the size of which, even if it is held by a cyclops nearly five metres tall, does not appear small.
Naturally the mass of it is considerable, and it was Ray's hope that it would work well enough to scrape some of it into the material that makes the spear...
"... ok. I just want you to show me that hammer, so yeah. Can you come to the Guild Warehouse for a moment? I think you can appraise it there without being exposed to people. Oh, I hope Mr. Ray's okay, of course."
Ray nods quickly at Lenora's words like that.
Even if it is a magic item ingredient, it is necessary to make sure that there is no problem with that hammer.
If that's what the Alliance would do, it's because it was a wish or a fulfillment.
