Legend

Gosh's guild was, naturally, Ray's first building to see.

I still miss it somewhere because Ray is still used to a place called Alliance.

However, there are many more differences than not a guild I've seen.

It is monsters and camels like giant lizards that are in the space for carriages and submarines, or they are painted with special paint so that the walls of the guild can withstand sand and intense sunlight.

It is also much smaller in size compared to the guild of the guild.

… it is incorrect to compare a guild on the margins of the only one of the great powers, the Kingdom of Mireana, with the one of Sollaine, a subordinate of the Kingdom of Mireana… it is also incorrect to compare a guild in a city that is not treated as a capital, even if it flourishes.

"Seto, don't ask me to do what I always do."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rings briefly at Ray's words and goes straight to the waiting space.

Seeing such a ceto, lizards and camels hardened to the point where they could not even speak.

It was Seto who seemed a little lonely, but you still understand that I would be more scared if I made myself squeal here. Sleep on the spot.

The desert sun is pouring down so vigorously that there is no more sunlight, not very much, but it's not the kind of temperature that you can take a nap or anything, but Seto doesn't seem to care about it at all.

Only Griffon, a rank A monster, would this degree of temperature be within the margin of error that would make him comfortable for Seto.

And if Griffon slept dignified, it would naturally come to the attention of those around him, but so far no one has thought about approaching Griffon like that.

"Ray, let's go"

Ray, who broke up with Seto, is called by Zaroust to enter the guild.

Those around them who saw it make a strong impression of Ray, who is obedient to Griffon and adorable as a dog or cat.

"Well, I knew there was a tavern set up together."

That was what Ray said first when he went inside the guild.

All the guilds I've ever seen were also co-located with a tavern. That's why I'm not particularly surprised to see that even the Gosh guild has a tavern co-located.

"Hmm? Oh. I'll use it after the request, for meals, for meetings, etc. The food and the price are there, and the flavor is there."

"So why don't you stop by as soon as you're done showing your face in the guild?

"I wish I had time for that, but you'd meet Mr. Ougust after this, wouldn't you?

To Zaroust's words, Ray gives a convincing look that it was.

I remember eating the dishes made for me by Augusto's wife, who prides herself on cooking, and Ray smiles bitterly... but each of the adventurers who were in the guild and the adventurers who were eating and drinking in the tavern had a startling look on their face at Ray and Zaroost like that.

That would be natural, too. Zaroust is quite a famous adventurer in this gosh.

Because Zaroust like that and someone as small as Ray have a reciprocal mouth.

"Oh, man. That kid...... is he a kid? No, anyway, what are you talking about on an equal footing with Mr. Zalust?

"Would you rather be an associate of Mr. Ougust's? Look, Mr. Zaroust was definitely on an urgent request to escort Mr. Augusto's merchant squad, wasn't he?

"Is that possible?

"No, but that's why that Zaroust makes you talk like that?

"... hey, the Zaroust bastard fell too. He's such a kid."

If Ray had seen the sight before he entered the guild...... there would not have been so many people with this thought if he had seen Seto as his opponent.

It was also bad luck, and luck in the sense that we didn't have to see sights that we couldn't imagine.

(Now you would have gotten the perception that Ray is someone close to me....... although some people seem to have strange thoughts about Ray)

Zaroust listens to his surroundings with clear ears and decides that he has achieved his general purpose.

It was recognised that imitations involving Ray would undoubtedly lead to hostility with Zaroust.

Most of all, some people dared to get tangled up in Ray as Zaroust thought... and Zaroust is not going to do anything about it either.

If you know everything and tangle with Ray on it, you'll deserve it.

"Okay, Ray. I'll report on the fulfillment of the request... What do you do?

"Right, I'd like to recruit an adventurer to dismantle the sand serpent"

"Oh, then don't worry about it"

To Ray's words, Zaroust tells him so lightly and continues his words.

"If we dismantle the sandserpent, we'll take it. Ray saved my life. Let me pay you back what I owe you."

Zaroust's words that he had saved his life made his surroundings squirm again.

But...... one man stood up from the liquor store seat sitting with a grin on Zaroust's words like that and approached him.

"Hehe. Oh, come on, it's Mr. Zalust. Isn't that a little too much to say? There's no way you can beat a sandserpent on a guy like that, is there?

The man, who is in, had decided from the outset that Zaroust's words were lies.

He is over two meters tall and his body is also covered with muscle armor.

What would be characteristic would be its head without a single hair. The shaved head was carved with a tattoo that I said was a replacement for my hair.

The lower back has a sheath of stainers and feels like a typical power fighter.

"Gorkus? Nothing. I don't remember talking cod. I'm sure your owner would understand that.

I guess the word owner didn't bother the man called Gorkus. Open your mouth as you raise your blood vessels in the tattoo.

"Ooh, Zaroust. Whose dog am I being? If you're kidding me, I'm gonna break that arm."

Gorkus, who tells as he stares, will soon say his apology as the average person sees it.

But Zaroust laughs with his nose, with such a gorkus in front of him.

"Huh, just the prestige is good. You think I don't know you're hired by the Eléma Chamber of Commerce?

"I'm an adventurer. What's wrong with that being hired?

"It's not that bad. I just think you should start thinking about things with your own head a little bit. You think I don't know about Tyra's tree?

"That's a joke. Stick together!

It was Gorkus who reached for Zaroust's collar neck, but in the end that wrist stops moving before it reaches the collar neck.

... Yes, by Ray's hand.

"Become!?

What surprised me about that was, as a matter of course, Gorkus.

The wrist grabbed by Ray can't even move slightly, as if it were fixed in the space itself.

You look like you're one minute smaller than yourself... and Ray is two minutes smaller.

Gorkus compares his wrist to Ray's face when he says he doesn't understand what's going on.

"Hey, Gorkus guy, what are you doing?

"Come on?... No way, that Ray guy grabbed my hand and I can't move it?

"Ha, that's the only way. He's the kind of guy I've always told you can't beat Zaroust if it's just power, right? Shame on you, shame on you when you can't move as much as that kid grabbed you by the wrist."

To the voices whispered around, the blood vessels in the head of the Gorkus rise larger.

That meant how much force the Gorkus was putting into it... but it was clear from everyone's eyes that Ray, who was under that power, although he couldn't see his face because he was wearing a hood, didn't make it microscopic.

Something tells me that I'm at a glance in this guild because I just can't beat a high-ranking adventurer.

And yet if you lose by force to such a small figure, you will surely be insulted from tomorrow.

Absolutely unbearable, Gorkus holds his fist in the hands of those who have not been held back and slaps him against the face wearing Ray's hood... At that moment when he tries, he feels a severe shock all over his body, and eventually intense pain strikes him.

"Gooooooo! Goddamn it! What the hell are you doing?

Soon I realize I was falling on the floor of my guild, and I wake up with a groan for pain.

"You don't even understand what happened? What, are you just proud of your power?"

That was the word out of Ray's mouth.

"What?! You fucking kid!

The frustration also rises to dew, trying to wave his fist at Ray again...

"Stop it around there. You really didn't understand what was going on? You were thrown away by Ray."

Gorkus sees Ray with such expressions as incredible in Zaroust's words.

The moment Ray showed him the move he was trying to beat him, he slammed him to the floor forcefully while grabbing Gorkus' wrist.

There's no moves, nothing, that throw made with pure physical ability alone, which is why they couldn't have been so imitated and unaware.

To imitate that, you have to have the ability to just overwhelm the other person.

That's what Ray made me do in front of everyone now.

Already, the adventurers around… and even the guild staff have very different eyes on Ray than at first.

(Was it different from what I planned... that it turned out to be my best choice)

Still don't understand what's going on...... Zaroust calls out to Ray as he sees Gorkus, who doesn't want to understand it more accurately.

"Ray, why don't you show your guild card to the guild receptionist for once? I'm not obliged to do that, but if I do, I won't get caught up in unwanted disturbances."

"... ok"

Though slightly dissatisfied, Ray glances at the Gorkus and heads to the counter.

I'm already close to evening, but not so many adventurers lined up there.

(No, I'm wrong compared to Gilm)

And the adventurers lined up in front of the counter silently vacate the place when they see Ray approaching.

I don't need to do that originally, but I guess I thought I couldn't say that when I saw what was happening now.

I can turn my fearful gaze from all around me, but as a Ray, that's the gaze I've been through more than once.

Even with such a gaze on him, he goes to the Alliance counter without looking particularly concerned.

In this case, was it the receptionist Ray was on his way?

Because someone I've never seen before is walking straight towards me. That, too, is like taking the Gorkus, who was famous as a rioter, lightly in the palm of his hand.

Still, as an Alliance employee, I don't do anything to put my emotions on the table... on the contrary, I even laugh and talk to Ray.

"Welcome to the Gosh Adventurer Guild. I heard from Zaroust earlier that he could show me his guild card for anything."

The grin on Ray is what you deserve as an Alliance flower.

Twenties feminine, colorful grin.

Paired with burnt skin on the day, that's definitely a grin that everyone around you can see.

The only thing that was a miscalculation for the receptionist was that that grin-pointed Ray didn't seem to feel anything.

But that's not impossible either. Ray is called Marina... and that's what I've seen so many times with people - dark elves to be exact - like the one who did.

The receptionist in front of me was clearly below in the sense of femininity compared to the marina.

"This is my guild card."

That's what he tells me, and the receptionist accepts the card while being a little dissatisfied with Ray for not responding to his bragging grin.

And look through...... the receptionist stops moving.

To the receptionist who stopped moving for about thirty seconds, the adventurers around him who watched what happened... could not have the courage to speak up in the present situation.

Eventually the moving receptionist sees Ray's face in the hood and opens her mouth in such a way as fear.

"If you don't mind if I... put the hood down?

To the words of the receptionist, who cannot hide the tension, Ray silently lowers his hood.

What emerged from it was the appearance that would deserve to be described as a female face.

Those around them who saw Ray's face react to each of them.

Many were surprised, but some of them are blinded by Ray's face as to whether they prefer to be younger.

Still, I guess I didn't react like an insult because I was still looking at one thing with Gorkus with that eye.

And the receptionist who saw Ray's face is small and breathtaking.

As someone who works for the guild, I guess I still knew Ray's face. After a few seconds of silence, slowly open your mouth.

"Has an alias...... Deep Red's, Ray"
