Legend

Gosh is the city of Oasis from Ray's eyes! Desert City! It was a place like that.

Even in a city in the desert...... no, it should be said because it is a desert, the walls exist so as to surround the gosh.

It's a wall that's not so different from the gilm just because it looks like it, but what would be very different from the gilm is that the wall exists quite deep underground.

Quite a few monsters travel underground, starting with sandworms and sandserpents, than this is the desert.

In order to prevent monsters from appearing all over the city through the underground, it was necessary to create a wall that would stop them from entering deep underground.

… As a result, the finances of the country of Sollain, which was originally a small country, have temporarily deteriorated, but it has nevertheless taken a long time to generate profits and has now recovered all the costs it used to make the gosh, which is now in the black.

Whatever it was, there was one aspect of Seto being surprised that he was already familiar with some of the interactions when entering the city, but you managed to take it away thanks to Augusto, and the process for selling the sand thief to the slave traders was over, and this is how Ray watched Gosh with Seto today.

Next to Ray, Ougust explains Gosh.

"Well, I got all the construction costs back for Gosh, but still, over time, it's something that's going to have a lot of problems... especially now that the problem is the aging of the walls"

"Uh... yeah, I know that"

More than this is a desert, naturally the walls are more drained than places in a Guilm-like position.

The walls deteriorate daily due to sandstorms, intense sunlight and intense cold at night.

If its deterioration reaches its limit, the wall naturally breaks down and fails to fulfil its role.

"But Gosh doesn't have much of a budget these days either... Look, look over there"

What Augusto showed was a painting of the wall.

However, there were signs that were repaired enough to tell from Ray's eyes.

"That's a hell of a job."

"Yeah. As for myself living in Gosh, I'd like you to do more solid repairs if you could, but not one or two. We naturally need the right materials to make a full repair…"

"But still, isn't that a little too harsh?

"... even the Erema Chamber of Commerce used to hire more skilled craftsmen."

That word alone makes Ray somehow understand the situation as well. I do... but what appeared in Ray's expression was the shade of color.

"Are you insane? You guys live here, don't you? So if we do something about it, it's gonna cost us our lives before the money gets out of hand?

At the periphery...... at Gilm, it was something you would never think about.

You put your life at risk... and the lives of all the residents.

(No, was there something about the Azot Chamber of Commerce? But even the Azotto Chamber of Commerce didn't do this far. I guess it's because Master Dusker was there)

The face of the person who recently came to remember Ray's back of the brain for some reason is past.

Unfamiliar greed, pissing yourself off...... eventually someone who will be watching hell every time he goes to bed at night.

"I know it's life threatening. I know... the Eléma Chamber of Commerce had a deep connection with the top..."

It was when Ougust grumbled that far. Zaroust, who was next to Augusto, stares at the point with a sharp eye.

"Mr. Ougust."

When Augusto followed that gaze on Zaroust's words, there was a figure there who looked familiar.

The person there probably waited for Augusto to come here, not that he was here by chance......

Still don't try to get closer to Augusto, he's stopping his legs on the spot...... is it still caused by Seto on Ray's side?

"Daridora... why are you here? No, you don't have to think about it."

"Who?

Looking at the face of a man in his forties with a hysterical, nervous face, Ray asks next door Zaroust.

I have brown skin burned in the day like a desert people, but for some reason I don't look tough.

Ray was under the impression of being very pungent, coupled with the appearance of a nervous face and eyesight.

"This is the current meeting of the Erema Chamber of Commerce."

"... I see. That man..."

It was the Eléma Chamber of Commerce that gave the sand thief the sand aboard the ship...... that wasn't confirmed yet, but it was a fairly likely story.

Beyond that, as the Erema Chamber of Commerce, I should have even given you a sandship, so why did the Augusto merchants return safely? That would naturally bother me.

Zaroust stares at Daridora with frustration.

But Daridora... and the escorts around her don't seem to have noticed Zaroust's murderous gaze at all.

That's all, I guess I'm flattered by the way Seto looks for the first time.

"Let's go"

If you don't want to see Daridora's face for even a second, Augusto tries to walk away from the scene.

But I guess Daridora finally returned it to me with such august behavior. I started walking towards Augusto like I was in a panic.

The escorts, the surroundings and the thinkers also move to follow Daridora like that.

"Hey, Mr. Ougust. I hear it's been a lot of trouble.

Daridora asks how it is worthy to describe it as snake-like.

However, is it because you are still afraid that you are trying to keep Seto out of sight?

Still, speaking to Augusto in this way, it is significant that the neck of Seto is hung with the obedient devil's neck.

The disturbance caused by the monster wearing the devil's necklace will basically be the responsibility of his master.

In this case, Ray.

Given my position as a meeting of the Eléma Chamber of Commerce, I would never do that... it was Daridora's expectation that I would not be able to.

That's never wrong. But only for Gosh residents.

Ray doesn't say anything in particular to Daridora, who's still getting closer.

I'm just silently watching Augusto and Daridora interact.

"Oh, you're hearing a lot faster. We just got back. It sounds as if you knew we'd be attacked.

I was usually a good august of people, but when I do, I just say I do it, and I say tickle and dislike.

(Though I think it would be awesome to get raided and clean up just because you don't like it)

Ray takes a glance at Daridora, his escorts, and the surrounding people.

However, Augusto and Daridora have different sizes of stores.

Ougust, which has many stores and has only one store of its own with Daridora, who is also the meeting of the Elamaic Chamber of Commerce.

The difference in influence was so great that it appeared as a difference in pure force.

For a few minutes, we exchanged words to blame each other... and Daridora finally gets to the point.

"With that said, Mr. Ougust. You think the sand thief who was attacked by anything had a sand boarding?... What happened to that sandy ship?

Augusto is convinced whether that was the point.

Of course, there will be times when you care about the Augustus who came back intact, even though you let the Sandbandits attack Augustus.

But it was clear that he cared more about the whereabouts of the sandship than that.

(I don't have to either. Because sandy ships are not a substitute for purchasing them in a bit or softly.... Ningro, if you lent it to a sand thief without any guarantee, that's impossible.... you mean you've been so neglectful of me)

I thought maybe the Augustos had brought the sand aboard, and when I heard the report of their return, they rushed to the main entrance, but in the end there was no sand boat there.

That's why I guess I'm wondering what happened to the sand boarding, not thinking, for example, of dumping expensive magic items in the desert about the sand boarding.

Anticipate Daridora's behavior that way and take the thought that it would be natural.

In the first place, I guess it's impossible to assume the existence of an item box.

"Oh, you're a lot quicker than that."

Auguste speaking the exact same words as earlier.

You must have understood the color of the colors in it. Daridora moves her eyebrows nervously.

Still, he doesn't show how exasperated he is, and he keeps his words going as he pushes and kills his frustrations.

"Unlike some merchant, I have a wide information network.... So, can I ask what the hell happened to the sandship?

Augusto smiles and opens his mouth to Daridora, who thinks that given the value of the sandy ship, there is absolutely no reason to leave here.

"What's the matter,? Why would Mr. Daridora care about that? What the sand thief had, whoever defeated it gains possession. That would be natural, wouldn't it? That's not what Mr. Daridora cares about."

Get ownership.

The moment I hear that word, the agitation runs on Daridora's expression.

And the one who turned his gaze, Ray.

It was from the anticipation that it would be easy to defeat a Rank A monster like Griffon, whether he was a sand thief using sand on board.

I turned my gaze to Ray instead of Zaroust, who seemed the strongest here, his party members, and those who had been asked to escort him, because I recognized all of Zaroust's faces.

As a meeting of the Eléma Chamber of Commerce, I naturally remembered the faces of those who were taking on augusts against me and their escorts.

I guess that's why I figured out that Ray, who doesn't recognize him at all, is Tamer, who's making Seto obedient.

(Still, I don't think I can tame a griffon to such a small person... no, Tamer could subjugate a monster by any means other than arm's length, right?)

From Daridora's point of view, Ray didn't seem like a very skilled adventurer.

But I guess that's only because Daridora is a merchant.

The men, their escorts, instinctively understand that Ray has a power incomparable to their own only to the skilled adventurers.... and it is.

The impression the adventurers got when they saw Ray was a wolf in sheep's skin...... no, the dragon.

That's why we didn't want Daridora, our escort, to do a strange imitation of Ray.

"... that sand boarding, it was actually stolen from both of us. I'd like it back if I could."

"Stolen, is it?... The Erema Chamber of Commerce under heaven gives the Sandbandit a magic item? Maybe you never let him steal it intentionally, did you?

"Mr. Ougust, are you a little out of words? It was this one who stole the sand from the boat, but it's hard to believe they said they did it intentionally."

It was Daridora, who tells her it looked even more unpleasant, but she also doesn't think Augusto would believe what she's saying.

But it's a farce that Daridora understands.

No matter how much Augusto says Daridora is suspicious, there is no evidence to show it.

No, I have proof. But the evidence that shows it... The sand thieves of the witness are turning into untold wreckage tomorrow, so I could have said that there is no evidence.

"Really? I'm sorry about that. But don't worry. As for sand boarding, we'll handle it properly here."

Daridora gives a frustrating look to the word processing out of Augusto's mouth.

To what Daridora looks like, it's the escorts around you who are wary inside.

He wants this place to end without causing disturbance, if he can.

I quit the escort today, so I don't think I want to fight Ray... but I can't put that on my face either.

"Processing, is it? What exactly are you going to do?

"Hmm, even if they say so... I'm not the one who owns that sandy ship, so I can't answer you"

"... So who?

It's Mr. Ray.

With that word, Augusto's gaze is directed toward Ray.

Daridora's gaze was also directed at Ray as he followed Augusto's gaze.

"... what about you?

Ray opens his mouth as he strokes Seto's body to Daridora, who asks like reluctantly.

"It's Ray. I am an adventurer in the Guild of the Kingdom of Mireana. I was just stopping by Gosh."

You're right that I've evacuated until the noise subsided on exactly one of the twilight spears, but I'm not going to say that to the person in front of me.

Because I knew if I said it, it would probably be a hassle.

"Gilm...... Ray...... Griffon!?

I guess the name Ray sounded familiar to me just because I boast of a great deal of power among the gosh.

Daridora opens her eyes in amazement...... seconds or so before opening her mouth like she panicked.

"I'm sorry, but I remember an emergency. Please excuse me around here."

He told him so, leaving the surroundings and escorts flattered by the sudden change of attitude on the spot, and one of them hurried away from the spot.
