Legend

As Ray and Seto headed to the dining room at the rendezvous point, both Vihera and Bühne were already waiting there.

Basically it was the Vihelas' job to gather information from people, so Ray wasn't surprised by that... instead, he sighs when he sees four men falling unconscious near the table where Vihela and Büne sit.

Furthermore, the waitress in the cafeteria and other guests are turning a blind eye to Vihera and Bühne... and Ning Luo is turning a grateful gaze, so you can't help but understand things.

"Oh, Ray. You're too late."

"I'm sorry, there's a lot going on.... Oh, there's a ceto on the table, so get him something proper to eat. And give me something simple."

Ray tells the waitress that he's approaching to show him the silver coin.

Turning straight to the table where Vihella is sitting, I notice a jealous gaze from the guests around me.

"So? What kind of commotion did you make this time? I think the four people on that floor are the ones who are making the noise."

"Oh, these people? I was drunk and involved with other people. So, I was involved, so I slept with him."

"... Adultly?

Listening to the words of Vihera, Ray turns his suspicious gaze toward the four men who are falling on the floor.

I was physically trained to see, and it was easy to predict that they were adventurers or mercenaries.

Four such trained men are falling to the floor completely unconscious.

So while I'm there, I'm not bleeding out of my mouth or nose, and I can't even see how I'm injured in my face or where I can see my body.

"Yeah. Adultly. Do you have any objections?

He was a vihella with a smile on his mouth, but his eyes never laughed.

Determining that he would undoubtedly be in trouble if he continued his conversation, Ray would sit in a position facing Vihera softly off his gaze from the four people rolling on the floor.

Then the waitress brings dishes like bread, soup, skewers and simmers and leaves them on the table.

"Thank you. I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you about something a little important, so can you keep people away from me?

"Yes. I get it!

When the waitress turns a mixed gaze of respect and admiration on Vihella, he forces the surrounding guests to move to other seats.

But the forcibly relocated guests don't turn a resentful glance at Vihera either - they were looking at Ray mixed with jealousy - but move their seats very hard.

"You've become very popular."

When Ray groans as he grins bitterly at the gaze he can be directed at, Vihera returns a silent grin just by clapping her shoulders small.

"... Well, that's it. I've had a lot of hard work over here, but how was it over there?

"Not sure, but you had something that looked like a harvest. But can I talk to Ray at first?

Ray nods at Vihera as she spoons the green fruit to her mouth.

Is it avocado that Vihera is eating somehow? While I think.

"I captured and asked the bandits operating around the Guild, and they told me that two suspicious men were headed upstream of the river that was flowing into the woods where they fought the Cyclops."

Ray continued to say he went upstream of the river based on that information, but eventually what he found was a place full of monster bodies, full of rotten and bloody ododododours.

So he obtained a magic item for the incense furnace and went further back to the river to reach the cave where Seto had transferred.

But behind the cave were magic formations and pot magic items that seemed to be meant to collapse the cave.

Though I managed to escape from it, the next thing I know, a golem shows up from a cave crash trail and knocks it down, discovering a magic item that I think was made by an alchemist from the Bestian Empire when I came back to Gilm...

"Well, we ended up in the same place."

"What? What do you mean?

Ray listens back to Vihera's words, which blocked him on the way, but what brought him back to it was Vihera's meaningful grin, which carries Yale straight to his mouth.

Next to such a vihella, Büne was also tongue-in-cheese to a dish with vegetables similar to tomatoes.

"As we know, we heard inside and outside the Guild. Hear about some of those magic items that have performed better than they've been made in guilds lately. I could talk to some of the people with that magic item."

"... so, the origin of that magic item, or that it was the Alchemist of the Bestian Empire who made it?

"Correct. Apparently it's not flashy... but you're selling magic items in the Guild to a discreet degree"

"But what imitates that? You said it wasn't noticeable, so if you were selling magic items that performed better than normal, you'd end up noticing it, right? That could be the prospect?

Vihera tilts her neck to Ray's words that it is not a positive move.

"I don't know. In fact, even if it's a magic item made by the Alchemists of the Bestian Empire, I don't know if it's really the same person who's making this noise."

"In the end, you have to go to the store where they sell it and gather information."

"Hmm?"

Beune, who's been quietly carrying his meal to his mouth, is he going now? whine briefly with the meaning.

If you notice, most of the meal Ray ordered has already disappeared and fallen into Bühne's belly.

Of course Ray was eating while talking to Vihera, but it's true he was still eaten most of the food by Bühne.

"... no, well, fine. Bühne is an eater."

Ray takes his seat while saying it like a half loss.

"So shall we go to a store that sells magic items with both bellies? Ray, do you know where it is?

"The stall owner told me. However, it seems to be a store in the back alley or that way, which is a little hard to find. He's decorating the skull of a goblin, so it doesn't mean he's in the wrong place."

"Even the information I gathered looks like that. Shall we go?"

Thus, Ray and Vihera, Büne and Seto and one of them leave the dining room and head to the store where they sell magic items.

"... you've arrived unexpectedly with nothing"

Ray was the one who whined.

Now there's a store in front of Ray that sells magic items that Seymour taught me.

Decorating the goblin skull is a very bad hobby and does not make a mistake in the store.

"What, you thought there was something?

"I mean, there's something... I just thought something was gonna happen, to be exact. I'm not proud of you, but for some reason, I'm prone to noise."

"... if you say so. It's like there's been quite a bit of noise with Ray before."

"Mmm!"

Biune remembers the numerous disturbances he encountered when in Egzil to Vihera, who shrugs remembering what happened between Ray and acting.

Both understood Ray's prone to get caught up in the noise as a real feeling, not knowledge.

If Ray tells me the most, I'd say that Vihera attracts trouble with the outfit that makes her look inviting a man, and Büne gets insulted because of its small size and gets into trouble.

"Gru."

Seto rattles his throat to comfort him and rubs his face against it.

Seto's presence is also a cause of trouble, but he opens his mouth while stroking his head.

"I don't think I'm the only reason. than that......"

You must have understood that you would be at a disadvantage if you kept talking like this. Ray is forced to undo the subject.

"Doing this won't do anything, and it's time to go in. Seto will wait outside, as usual."

That's what he tells them, Seto rattles his throat, sees Vihera and Bühne snort before opening the door in front of him.

Moments, what drifted from inside the store was a sweet fragrance.

That's not the sweetness of the fruit either, something unnatural sweetness.

"... what's that smell?

"Come on? As far as this goes, it looks like a store selling regular magic items."

"For security?

Regardless of what is mass-produced, Vihera tilts her neck at Ray, who thinks it's no strange to keep some measure because there are expensive items like Seymour was using.

"I wonder. I don't think I can afford security like this."

Yes, the moment Vihera squeaks, one man inadvertently shows up from behind the store.

He's in his fifties, but he's a fighter who works out no matter what his body thinks.

Did he look a little surprised to see Ray because he knew about Ray because he lives in the Guild?

(Ex adventurer or something?

Ray just meets Seymour, who is a magic item lover, and raises such questions.

"What kind of magic item are you looking for?

The serene voice goes hand in hand with the muscles of the arms that are visible from the clothes, and the image of a quiet mountain comes to mind.

The fact that I hardly reacted when I saw Vihella would also have caused me to imagine the mountain.

But if you're not thinking about it right away, shake your neck to the side and say what you came to this store for.

"Actually, Seymour told me that I was able to buy magic items made by the Alchemists of the Bestian Empire at this store for a good price, and I came to see them. I look like this, and I'm a hobby of collecting magic items."

"Ho."

The man smiles happily at the word that he has a hobby for collecting magic items.

Such a grin, like finding a good man.

I guess not many people come to buy it after all than magic items are expensive.

"Well, is it a hobby to collect magic items?... Seymour definitely bought it from this store."

"Heh, I knew it.... Still, you've got a lot of magic items made by alchemists from the Bestian Empire"

"It's usually hard to get. Fortunately, a merchant brought it to me a while ago. See, there would have been some noise in the Bestian Empire last year, wouldn't there? That's when they flowed in."

"... I see"

Ray feels just a little clapped out, wondering if it was a magic item spilled out of the noise he was involved in.

But soon I think back that I don't know if that's true.

Because even if the person who came to sell said so, I can't throw away the possibility that it's saying so in disguise.

"So, who came to sell this magic item?

"For once, if you're going to buy more magic items than this one is a seed of commerce, I'm going to have trouble buying them through the store."

Based on the story of Ray collecting a magic item and the fact that he asked for information about the person who came to sell it, the store owner frowned and told Ray whether he decided Ray was trying to buy a magic item directly from that person.

Ray tried to deny it immediately to such a shopkeeper, but if asked why he wanted to know about it, he wouldn't be able to answer it well.

"A magic item made by an alchemist from the Bestian Empire, so I wanted to know exactly whose work it was. I'm from the Bestian Empire, and I was a little concerned."

Turn into a ray stuck in words, Vihella tells.

Did the shopkeeper have any distrust of the Rays, or turn his mouth toward the kind of gaze that even his suspicious opponents would see from how much he seemed to rap earlier?

"If you're collecting magic items, you know, alchemists are people who can create magic items. If all you want is information about the alchemist, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that for commercial reasons."

"Can't you do something about it?

If it's normal, like Vihera...... it's not strange to snort if a beauty wearing thin clothes like dancers and whores tells you this too.

But the shopkeeper shakes his neck to the side without looking at all concerned about how Vihera is doing.

"If I say no, no. We do business here, too. I can't give people information like that.... I'm sorry, but go home. This is Seymour's introduction, so I'm not going to say anything more."

Is the shopkeeper's man going to tell him that and not have any more ears to listen to, or turn his back on the Rays?

That way I didn't return a word no matter what the Rays said any more.

The Rays managed to get the information out of the store owner for about a few minutes, but when they knew it was useless to say anything in the end, they left the store as they were.

"... hmm"

When the Rays walked out of the store, the shopkeeper's man shrugged and turned his gaze toward the magic item that was nearby… the magic item made by the Alchemists of the Bestia Empire that the Rays would have been looking for.
