Legend

The house I saw was quite splendid for a merchant to live in.

Ray also expected the area because of the fact that there is a stables that are okay for Seto to enter, but I can tell you that it is a much bigger house than that expected.

Of course it's not enough to call it a mansion, but it's usually splendid enough from Ray's eyes in Inn life.

... Although the inn where Ray usually lives is a luxury inn that counts from above, even in the Guild, which is a wheat pavilion at dusk.

(A little smaller than the mansion where the former guerrillas live...? Well, there's a bunch of us living together over there)

Past Ray's brain were the faces of the guerrillas who acted with themselves in the civil unrest of the Bestian Empire.

Among its guerrillas, the faces of those who came to Gilm for various reasons such as not wanting to be hostile to the Kingdom of Mireana with Ray, admiring the strength of Ray, being interested in the Kingdom of Mireana, Seto being cute...

Not all of them live together, of course, but many former guerrilla facades still lived in one mansion.

What lies ahead of Ray's gaze now is about a turn smaller than that mansion, but it will be clear that there is no problem at all for one family to live in.

"... it's a big house."

"Really? I'm glad you said that.... Well, this house wasn't built by me on my own, it's something my ancestors have given way to for generations. Because the ancestors who built this house were Gosh, but also fingerfolding merchants."

"You've been a merchant for generations"

"Yeah. Everybody was more talented than me. Because that's why they built this kind of mansion.... I'm doing my best to maintain this mansion."

I was an august to tell you so, but I'm concerned about an honest deal, even if I'm being pushed by the Eléma Chamber of Commerce, and trust is thick.

... I guess that's why I'm able to keep this mansion bent.

"Let's go. My wife will be waiting for me to prepare some delicious food."

Augusto prompts me to head to the Mansion Gate.

"Oops, Augusto. You're early today.... So, what about you?

A gatekeeping middle-aged man calls out to Auguste like that.

It felt more like I was speaking up to my friends than to my employer.

"Gunter, it's always bad. Are you well hydrated? Don't push me. This is my guest."

Augusto also speaks to a man called Gunter in a slightly more casual tone, unlike directed at Ray and Zaroust.

"You helped me when I was being attacked by sandserpents, Mr. Ray. And Mr. Ray's obedient setup."

"Heh. You helped Augusto. Then you're welcome. Welcome, Ray, Seto. I'm Gunter, the gatekeeper of this house. Say hello."

Gunter, who replied casually to Ray, keeps going and turns his gaze towards Seto as well.

It is unusual for those who see Griffon and does not show any particular surprise.

Still don't reach for Seto and try to touch him because of his vigilance towards Seto... or because he works properly as a gatekeeper, regardless of the use of words?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it was a good impression on Ray as well that he wouldn't insult or make a fuss over Ray and Seto for no reason.

"Oh, nice to meet you"

"Gru."

Hearing one and one short greeting, Gunter grins and nods back.

After such a brief exchange, Ray and Seto finally followed Augusto's guidance into the gate.

"Ougust!"

Such a line... More precisely, one woman runs from the side of the mansion, as if waiting only for Augusto.

The age is about thirties, just like Augusto.

I know you look kind if you're meant to be, but what's on that look right now is nothing but impatience.

"Kathy, what are you doing running so fast? You don't have to worry about that."

"'Cause I'm saying that a kid who has been Auguste's manners has been attacked by sandserpents and sandbandits. Worry about it, right? Are you hurt? Are you sure you're okay?

Talking, the woman called Kathy checks directly to see if Auguste is injured.

Though Augusto, who is touched all over his body, is grinning like a tickle, I understand that his wife is out in this kind of act worrying about her body.

That's why I spin words to calm down as I gently stroke the hair aligned at Kathy's shoulder tip.

"It's okay because Mr. Ray and Seto helped us."

"Really? Are you sure you're okay?

"Oh."

Augusto snorts instantly.

But it was also an unmistakable fact.

Sandserpent lightly wiped out his head with a dusk spear blow unleashed by Ray, and although the sand thief had attacked him aboard a sandy ship, most of them could not move because of the roar unleashed using the intimidating skills of Seto's king.

The only thing that annoyed Augusto and Zarousto's hands was the extent to which they tied up the sand thieves who had been unable to move and watched them not take strange action when heading to Gosh.

Of course that was tough, but it would be overwhelmingly easier than having a winless fight.

Kathy finally exhales in relief when she hears that explained.

And the next thing the gaze was pointed at was Ceto, who, naturally, had an overwhelming size over Ray, not Ray...

"Ahhh!

Screaming Kathy hides behind Augusto.

Seto, who sees it, just sounds a little sorry for his throat... but that's all I end up with because it's always scary to be the first person I see.

Like Gunter, the gatekeeper earlier, it's rarer not to be afraid of Seto despite the first encounter.

"It's okay. Seto's a big girl, so he's never gonna hurt Kathy."

"... Really?

"Oh. Is it warm that I've ever lied to Kathy?

To the words of Augusto, who told him so, Kathy shakes her head small and turns a hot gaze at her husband.

Augusto received that gaze and returned an equally hot gaze, and eventually the two faces approached...

"Mm, Cohon. If I could, I'd be happy to do that in an invisible place."

Did you return it to me in Ray's words, Augusto and Kathy leave at once just before their lips were superimposed?

Ray watching it, could it be that Gunter is always attached to this interaction? And, I feel sympathy for the person I just met.

And I somehow understood why Zalust didn't come with us.

(You knew this.... No, I had a bad feeling when Augusto started bragging about his loving wife... I didn't think all couples were this type. Looking for another inn is difficult, so do you want to make it wild?

When Ray is lost as to whether he should seriously get out of here before the two of them rush to fix his physical appearance, he won't even have detected it, but Augusto hurries to open his mouth.

"Kathy, have you heard from the messenger? I'd like to stay with Mr. Ray for a while, if you don't mind?

"If that's what you say, I won't say anything. That griffon, from what I can tell, seems like a big, nice kid."

Ray smiles small and bitterly at the speed of change that makes him want to say where he went when he first sees Seto.

"Come in, please. Oh, no. Before that, your griffon... uh, that was Seto. I need to tell Seto where the stables are. Augusto, can you do me a favor?

"Oh, I'll take care of it. If you ask me, I'll take Daridora's neck."

"... I'm glad, but I'm not kidding."

Hear the voice you tell after a moment of silence, and make Ray feel like he wants that to happen half the time for real.

(Sounds like a pretty deep-rooted problem.... Well, as long as I'm listening, I can't help it. Tyra tree...... or)

Ray remembers what he heard from Ougust.

Tyra tree that only exterminates monsters. Daridora seems to think of planting it so that it surrounds the gosh...

The walls surrounding Gosh are also getting pretty old, and it will also take a huge amount of money to repair them.

By comparison, planting tyra trees, although somewhat costly, is a lot less costly than repairing walls.

(Both opinions snort though)

It is Augusto who is trying to proceed with the repair of the wall by opposing it to Daridora, who wants to plant Tyra trees to keep costs down.

Of course, we were both worried about Gosh, but it was also true that it wasn't all that much more than being merchants.

I guess the Erema Chamber of Commerce is going to have a lot of profit if it's going to be a tree planting for Tyra, and that won't change Augusto either.

But nothing, Ray's not willing to blame it. Because it's only natural to seek more profit than to be a merchant.

"Right here. I don't use this stables right now, so it's okay for Seto to use them."

Guided by Augusto was a stables a short distance from the mansion.

It's huge inside, but now they don't seem to be using it. There's no sign of a creature but Ceto, Ray and Augusto, and there's a lonely atmosphere somewhere.

Some stables are newer than the one in front of Ray right now, but they're currently used by camels.

As for Seto, I want him to stop because I miss being the only one in the stables if I can, but even if Seto doesn't do anything about it, there's no way the camels can get used to Griffon right away.

Nor could Augusto imitate putting Seto and the camel in the stables together more than if there were no camels that would interfere with business.

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

Ray reaches out and gently strokes Seto, who rings his throat when he is lonely.

"Don't worry. I'm in the mansion right there, and if anything happens, I'll come and see you."

When I stroked Seto to tell you, I guess even a little loneliness would have subsided. Seto rubs his body against Ray as he throats just a little happy.

For a minute as it was, Ray kept stroking Seto.

Augusto just stares at one of those and one of them.

(Seto to Mr. Ray. Without this one and one, I would definitely have died.... it was indisputably survival to meet Ray, an adventurer of aliases. You have to pull into my crew at all costs to protect Gosh)

For Augusto, Ray was an attractive talent.

Ray Individual's fighting power is such a substitute for having aliases that it is Griffon, a Rank A monster, who is an obedient demon.

... I officially treat it as a rank S because it's a rare species, but Augusto never saw a scene where Seto uses his skills.

And most importantly, it was convenient for Augusto that Ray was Gilm's … adventurer of the Kingdom of Mireana.

I mean, it basically shouldn't have meant that Ray would stay in the gosh after this one.

It's not like Augusto hates Ray. But there's no mistake in relying on it when you have too strong a bearer of power.

I wanted to avoid that as a resident of Gosh.

"Well, shall we go then? Mr. Ray has a wife cooking delicious food for him. I will prepare Ceto's rice properly, so stay tuned."

Seto sounds happy to throat that word out of Augusto's mouth, which he seemed lonely until a few seconds ago.

Ray's mouth smiles unexpectedly at the appearance of his overly cash partner.

But there is no mistake that a delicious meal is also very appealing to Ray.

"Seto, I'll come back later."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto's waiting for Ray's word! and honking.

With Ceto dropping me off like that, Ray and Augusto leave the stables and head to the mansion.

"There was a dish called Panita in Gosh's specialty."

"Panita?"

Ray's curiosity is stimulated by a dish with a name he has never heard of.

Meals are one of Ray's great pleasures. You can say it's one of my hobbies.

But it's very different in what the aristocrats often call gastronomy and ray meals.

Most aristocratic gastronomy refers to the laborious preparation of precious and expensive ingredients by amazing cooks.

By comparison, Ray is satisfied with cheap or delicious food.

Cooking like being served in a liquor store, such as simmering guts and beans, is one of Ray's favorites as well as one of his favorites.

"Yeah, I cook chunks of meat, I cut them thin, and I melt the wheat in water, and I roll them into thinly baked things, along with vegetables and beans and stuff like that, and I eat them."

"... that's the kind of dish I remember hearing something about"

Second, the name Donnell Kebab, which I ate at the festival nightclub when I was in Japan behind Ray's brain, passes.

I know there are various differences between being thinly sliced meat or using yogurt to season it, but from what I've heard the explanation, Ray's image was unmistakable with Donnelkebab.
