Legend

"Ugh... mmm... ahhh..."

Ray, who hits a turnaround on the bed, wakes up with that behavior.

I look around the room somewhere different, but what's there is a familiar evening wheat pavilion room with little personal belongings.

Half-sleepy head, looking for something different, but now Ray can't notice it.

He looks around and stops moving for a few minutes... eventually his head frees him from drowsiness and finally realizes what's different about the room than usual.

Yes, normally, when I wake up in the morning, the morning sun is coming in through the window in the room, but today I don't see that at all.

It wasn't even raining, it was obvious if you looked out the window.

And in the end, Ray came to the conclusion...

"Overslept, huh?"

I'm still not completely awake with my head, and that's all I whine about.

When it feels like the sun from the window, I think it's blurry that it's almost noon already.

That's how blurry I remember last night.

I've been busy since the battle in Slam Street ended and Ara and the guards rushed in.

Pull out the Tsu spear that was piercing Paul's right arm and free him from inability to move, taking Diaz, who lost his right arm, and Adria, who was tied by Bühne, out of Slam Street.

Note that the figure of the man who attacked Büne as Diaz's subordinate had disappeared at some point.

It was the Rays who decided that perhaps they had regained consciousness and fled, or that their people had taken them away, but now that they want to hurry to the stuffing, they come to the conclusion that they don't even need to look so enthusiastically and leave them there.

Fortunately, the information about what kind of battle the Rays were fighting was spread by those who watched it from afar, and there was little such thing as being raided as when they first came to Slam Street.

... Yes. Most, if not all, of them will be the reason why Slam Street is a Slam Street.

We proceeded to intercept the target we had attacked, and eventually when we left Slam Street, everyone breathed relief, including the guards, and Ray was equally relieved.

That's how we headed next: the guard's stuffing.

People also came from the Knights when they were explaining to the guards, including Langa, what happened there, to talk again from the beginning.

We talked about it in detail afterwards, and it was midnight when the Rays were eventually released.

Naturally there is no such thing as a stall, even at a time when the liquor store is already closed.

Still, the only wheat pavilion at dusk was the luxury inn, which welcomed the Rays happily.

Ray asked the guards to meet Seto, who had been brought from the magic item store to the wheat pavilion at dusk when he was in the jar, where he would forgive Seto for insisting that he had been left behind.

When it was over and we went back to the inn, Elaine, Ara, Vihera and Buune each complained of hunger, but the fire in the kitchen had already dropped, meaning we had a light tummy in the dishes that were inside Ray's mysteries... it was already time for the sky to be brighter when each returned to his room.

I slept in the morning like that, so I guess it's natural to oversleep.

"... you're hungry"

It must have been a hang-up to remember what happened last night and the vegetable and ham soup I ate as a night meal. Ray's belly rings hard and makes a self-assertion.

When I took the clock out of the mysteries and checked the time, it was more accurate time to say a little before noon than to call it already morning, as expected.

Do you want to go to the cafeteria?

Ray heads to the dining room on the ground floor in the first place when he checks up on himself in the first place to see if what happened at an unusual time affects him and he still isn't feeling well.

"Oh, very slowly.... Are you sure you're okay?

Vihera, who was eating a sandwich in the dining room, calls to Ray.

It was a teasing tone at first, Vihera, but I guess I soon found out that Ray wasn't in the usual shape. He asked in a bit of a panic.

At the same table as such Vihera, there is an appearance of Elaine, who doesn't put it in words either but looks worried about how Ray is doing.

There was naturally an appearance of Arla on Elaine's side, with a look that was not as worrying as Elaine and Vihera, but seemed worried about Ray.

Those four...... I should say the three of them because Beaune eats a sandwich without expression exactly as usual, but I wave to those three that Ray is nothing.

"I just had a little bit of a different time to wake up, so don't worry. 'Cause in a little time, it's gonna be just the way it always is."

Tell him so and get to Elaine or Vihera's sitting table.

The wheat pavilion cafeteria at dusk is never small just because it is positioned as a luxury inn. You should describe it as Ninglo wide.

However, most of the guests who are about to have a little early lunch in that large dining room are looking at a table with rays.

Naturally. Elaine and Vihera are extremely beautiful women whose direction is what makes them different.

Although Ara is inferior to her husband, Elaine, she has a good enough face.

I'm usually on Elaine's side so Arla won't stand out, but she was beautiful enough to think that if Arla cared about it, she wouldn't have a hard time hooking up a guy.

Beaune, who eats a sandwich without expression, is also a beautiful girl who can expect enough in the future.

One man sat at such a table of four, so it would be natural to draw attention.

Furthermore, since the man is a famous Ray in the Guild, it was more impossible not to draw attention to him.

Ray, already accustomed to such attention, appropriately orders dishes to Lana, the Inn's general, without looking concerned about her surrounding gaze.

… Even if it is appropriate, there were a few servings because the hungry ray filled my stomach.

"So, we're going to the Lords' Hall today, right?

"Oh, to report this incident."

Based on the amount of food Ray ordered from Lana, I guess he decided he wouldn't have to worry about it for now. Vihera asks Ray.

"Hmm, then I guess I should go to that, too"

"Dear Elaine, what shall I do?

"Ara... didn't she arrive after the battle, and don't you have to worry?

"But to only let Master Elaine go..."

Ara was asking about things like what to do, but I guess she really wants to go with Elaine.

Elaine nods a little thinking about whether she has drawn on it or simply decided that she should act with Ara.

"If Ara should just act with me, I'm not going to say no either. But, okay? It was yesterday today. Wouldn't Ara like to slow down a bit, too?

"No problem. It would be better if I stayed with Elaine."

"Oh, you're so admired."

Ara turns a complicated gaze against Vihera, who tells him so.

I already know from Elaine what a person named Vihera is like.

To be honest, as for Ara, I wasn't sure what attitude to take towards the person in front of me.

Should I honor you because you are a former princess of the Bestian Empire, or should I take a hostile attitude as a princess of years of hostile nations? The only thing I know is...

(This guy, like it would have a bad impact on Lady Elaine...)

The rationale for that is the kind of thin clothes worn by people like whores and dancers that Vihella wears.

Thin clothes that the other side seemed transparent, that's what I'd rather call underwear than clothes, naturally made the gaze of those in the liquor store seem... especially to Arla as the biggest cause of gathering a man's gaze.

In fact, Elaine's beauty was also a major cause of being eye-catching, but Ara has completely forgotten about it when she puts Vihera in front of her.

I guess getting used to it is as big as that.

All in all, from the eyes of Arla, a nobleman and knight, Vihera's outfit was something that could only be called a shame of ruin.

And according to what Arla has heard from Elaine, Vihera is also in love with Ray again.

For Ara, who has grown up as a nobleman, it is not so resistant for one man to receive more than one wife.

Still, I have a few thoughts, but there was also a decision that I shouldn't be speaking out around it.

But... if being with Vihera makes Elaine wear the same clothes affected by Vihera... and I think so, it's also true that I honestly want to summon and ram the Power Axe in the room into my hand.

(Uh, already. What am I really supposed to do!?

Ara holds her head in her heart just because it's something she's never experienced before.

Such an inner gritto appeared on her face, Elaine swallows freshly baked bread with nuts elaborated and opens her mouth.

"... lack of sleep?

"Oh, no. I was just wondering. Well, there's nothing else..."

It was Elaine questioning how Ara told her like she was in a hurry, but carrying tea into her mouth slightly... slightly, but with a beautifully groomed brow.

The first thing I noticed about Elaine like that was Arla, who, naturally, had spent time with me since I was a little girl.

"What's up? What is that tea..."

Could it be poison? And Ara thinks for a moment.

It has the alias General Princess and is Elaine, the symbol of the aristocracy. There will be people inside and outside the country who want to get in the way of such Elaine, and even some of the nobles want to get rid of Elaine.

There have been many assassination crises before, but Elaine has prevented all of them with her prior knowledge and strength.

And now only Elaine, who even inherits the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone, can be harmed by most things.

Still, as the Knights Commander serving Elaine... and above all as a friend from an early age, I couldn't have missed someone who would do Elaine harm.

Most of all, I'm not feeling that serious right now.

Because if it was really poisoned with tea, I think Elaine would have reacted more clearly, too.

And the fact is, Elaine opens her mouth as nothing to Ara's words...... then, just a little shame.

"No, I still think this tea is inferior to what Ara makes me. When I'm used to Ara's delicious tea that brews, I'm dissatisfied with most of the tea"

"It's..."

The words that came out of Elaine's mouth make me feel happy and sorry for her.

"Heh, is that child's brewed tea that good? Then I'd love to try it too."

"Mmm!"

I guess it's because it's something to do with food and drink. Biune also immediately speaks in favour of Vihella's words.

To those two, Elaine had a happy grin.

It's good for Elaine that Ara will be appreciated.

"Right, though?

"If it's my brewed tea..."

"Ray hasn't had Ara's brewed tea for a while, either, has he?

"Right. The tea I gave you before was delicious."

I have a smudge of thought in Ray's words.

I also used magic items, such as making water hot or something like that.

Otherwise, the taste of tea was enhanced purely by Ara's skill.

(If Ara brews tea with the water produced by the running water dagger, that's going to be the best tea ever)

Ray brings his thoughts to the magic items inside the mysteries.

Originally, it is a magic item for carrying out water-based attacks, but in Ray's case, it cannot be used as a weapon because of its suitability specific to flames.

The only thing I can do is consume magic to produce water... but the water created using Ray's vast magic tasted like that, even though it was just water, you could call it water in heaven.

"If only Lord Elaine or Lord Ray would let me make you some tea."

For a moment it was Arla who turned her gaze toward the kitchen, but it was Elaine who hung on to it.

"It's a shame about Ara's tea, but it's time, isn't it? You won't be late for Lord Dusker."

"... excuse me, Master Elaine. That doesn't mean you can afford it in time."

Elaine nods at the words, and Vihera also looks at Ara with interest.

(Sounds pretty strong... a little intriguing)

I didn't even know Vihera's gaze caught me, but for some reason I felt my spine get cold.
