Legend

Ray, who was invited to dine in the Lords' Hall, was asked by Lewbrand if he would take sides with Augusto... precisely against planting Tyra trees against monsters.

And the words Ray gave back...

"Don't you see? I would have liked to hear back from you as soon as I could."

"Even so, I've just come to Gosh. Above all, I don't even know much about that Tyra tree. If so, we need to find out more about Tyra's tree, whichever side we take."

Ray understands to some extent the power he possesses.

It wasn't a joke or anything, and I was convinced that if the Daridora and Augustus had been in contention, Ray would have won better.

That's what makes me confident I'll win even if I'm in battle with a city called Gosh itself.

That's why I can't clearly say which way I'm going to get here.

As for Ray's mood, I still want to get into Auguste.

But that's only a thought I saw Augusto from Ray, and I can't help it in a situation where I have no idea about Daridora.

(It's true that Daridora doesn't like him.)

I saw it when I first came to Gosh, Daridora's exchange with Augusto.

From what I saw, it was Ray's pure thought that he and Daridora would not fit at all.

But I can't decide everything just by my own mood.

"... Hmm. I, the nobleman, want Daridora to help me. You don't think I can say that?

"Yes."

Answer only there without hesitation.

In the first place, the status of nobility means a lot to Ray.

Even the nobility of the kingdom of Mireana is so, so there was no way to shy away from the nobility of the Sorlein country, which belongs to… and is less powerful than the rest of the country.

But I guess that Ray's attitude wasn't funny to Lewbrand. I frown slightly.

"You have good guts to say that with dignity in front of me. I don't think you should imitate what pisses me off here?

I just thought there was no such thing as an unscrupulous attitude towards the nobility, and Lewbrand tells him to threaten Ray a little out of that unpleasance.

But... that's bad.

"If you mean to be hostile to me, that's fine too. If you're going to do something about me, just give it back to me with the right attitude. Yes, for example, the destruction of Gosh..."

That's what I told you. I mean the look on Ray's face everywhere.

I guess Lewbrand figured that out, too. I try to laugh it off, but I can't do that.

"is, well, it's just an unfortunate event for other residents. I wouldn't do that."

I tell him with a grin, as I would like to say where the serious expression went a moment ago.

Reubrand exhales in relief at the appearance of such a ray...

"Well, it's easy to wipe out this whole mansion... to the point of burning it down"

That's what I told him.

"... what?

Reubrand asks without understanding what he has just been told.

I just didn't understand what Ray was saying, just because I didn't think that no harm would ever happen to me.

"You can do it any time you want, to the extent that you burn this mansion and everyone who lives there. That's what I said, didn't you hear me?

"Are you serious?

"Yeah, of course. Ning Lo, you want to hear more about me. What makes you think you can't do that? I've dived through many battles before. That is also a battle on a scale that can be called war. The lives I have taken in that battle are not a hundred or two. That's where the number of people living in this mansion will be added."

Isn't the person in front of you crazy?

I thought so. Reubrand looks into Ray's eyes, but Ray's eyes look sane because they can be seen firmly by lowering the hood.

(I mean this guy...... are you serious!?

The person in front of him thinks of himself... as noble.

I had heard that story from Daridora, but I thought it was just a rumor... a rumor that went too far.

But that information is true, and my life disappears lightly if Ray, who is now in front of me, cares about it.

I guess I realized that. Lewbrand realizes his hands are trembling before he knows it.

"Oh well. That's rigid. But shouldn't you say things like killing people so easily?

"Hate and I'm an adventurer. Killing each other is routine. Whether that's a monster... or a person"

Lewbrand's legs tremble to such an extent that he can no longer hide it from the word person.

It would have been fortunate for Lewbrand, who cares about his face as a nobleman, to hide in a tablecloth and not see its trembling.

Ray smiles and opens his mouth to such a Lewbrand.

"Is that it? Was it a joke to serve up a meal, wasn't it funny?

"... right. It would be a less deserving topic at meals. If you can, I hope you won't have to talk about it again."

It was half a joke word for Ray, but that made me understand how dangerous someone named Ray was for Lewbrand.

Half the joke also meant half was true for Ray.

(It's dangerous... this man is a dangerous man in the true sense)

I guess I finally understood that from the bottom of my heart. Lewbrand doesn't seem to care at all about the conversation he just had, and he turns his gaze to Ray, who is eating meat dishes baked with spices for many eyes.

But at the same time that I feel terrified about Ray's appearance, I am also convinced that this is the kind of adventurer with an alias who uses Griffon as his obedience.

(That's dangerous. I don't even think of nobility as nobility...... no, it tastes even worse than that. That anomaly that can be spoken of when you kill nobles without any hesitation, knowing they are nobles. Daridora told me that Uncle Larks is using it heavily.)

How dare you, well, say it's something that can reuse dangerous people like this. I think Lewbrand is stingy.

That must have been a good way to deviate from the person in front of you. Soon the body tremor had disappeared.

Understanding that, Reubrand opens his mouth again.

"Well, then the Lord... No, do you have a Lord against a high-ranking adventurer with an alias? Okay, so what Ray's going to do is we haven't decided yet, okay?

Lewbrand to call it by its proper name, not your lord, because you understand what Ray is like.... So it's a call away while you're at it, because you hated to name Ray, who's not a nobleman?

But Ray nods back without a wind that cared about how Lewbrand was doing.

"Yes, that's right. I came to Gosh in the first place because it was almost as close as it turned out. Maybe tomorrow, but they'll be gone soon."

"... right, okay. I can't tell you what you want to do. But I want you to remember that nothing is going on with me or Daridora about Tyra's tree."

Ray nods back to Lewbrand, who looks at himself and tells him.

"Okay, I'll keep that story firmly in mind"

"Then fine. Now, do you want to eat this much for the hard story? It's a corner dish. When it cools, the flavor also drops."

If it's normal, the food will be cold even while we're talking like this, but there's no way the food will be cold if it's also some trick on the table where the food is on.

Ray gives a slightly surprising look to the warmth of the soup he reached out to.

(Is this a magic item, too?

Table with thermal insulation.

I think it would be convenient and enviable if it were, but if you asked me if I needed it in the desert, I'd have to lean my neck.

(Well, it gets cold at night, so I guess it doesn't mean useless long stuff)

Still, dinner is usually still eaten before the sun sets, and no one eats until it's nearly freezing like a desert...... but not much.

Especially if he was a lord ruling this gosh, it never meant that something was sudden.

If there were a table that seemed to be this magic item at such a time, it would definitely be useful.

"Yeah? Oh, did you notice that? Yes, this table is a magic item."

"You have a very handy magic item."

"Ha ha. Thanks to Daridora."

"... I see"

Ray was convinced that it was something of a bribe, but there was no color to blame there.

Bribery is not illegal in this Elgin.

Of course if you go too far, you'll be disposed of, and some people will be offended because it's never a complimented act.

Many also hate bribes, like Dusker, Lord of the Guild, where Ray is based.

The judgments around there vary from person to person, and that's why Ray wasn't going to blame Lewbrand or Daridora.

If Ray had asked me to bribe him, I would have been resolute then.

(I guess that's also why Augusto is turning back)

I think of the good-looking faces of Augusto people in the back of my brain.

Purely in his talent as a merchant, Augusto would never lose to Daridora.

But Augusto had that honesty pulling his legs, and Daridora had built her current position by transferring to action by whatever means.

"This bread was sandwiched by baking fish caught in Gosh's oasis. I don't hate this dish.... I'm just mad at the cook for behaving badly. My wife was so loud about her hands."

So today is special. With that said, Lewbrand reaches for bread with fish fillets sandwiched.

(You have a pretty good personality. Sometimes I like these fast food dishes. Well, it's the fish that's pinching it in the bread, so I guess it's a fancy dish in Gosh. Even so, cooks make it to pay attention?

Ray reaches for the same dish again as he looks at the dish Lewbrand is eating.

The moist bread is ridden with the body and sauce of a fish that has been baked and unraveled.

If you see the sauce slightly stained in the bread, it will definitely make the sauce too stained to eat if left alone for a long time.

Minced vegetables with an onion-like texture stimulate the texture with the fish to entertain the mouth.

"What do you say? Pretty good stuff, huh?

"Right. This food is delicious. It doesn't mean I eat easily."

When it comes to eating easily, fish are expensive, and if you make them again and then set aside time, the sauce stains the bread and makes it hard to grasp.

With that in mind, this dish was somewhat impossible to call fast food.

(If you lay leafy vegetables like lettuce under fish or something...... no, or apply thin like mayonnaise or olive oil, but can you prevent bread from becoming becho becho?

Ray, who was thinking about that for some reason, eventually laughs unwittingly at it.

I wonder if Augusto isn't the only one who has a strong impression of food, and so do I.

"Yeah? What's wrong with you?

To Ray, who suddenly laughed, Lewbrand asks.

"No, it's nothing. I just thought this dish was delicious again."

"... right"

Then for more than a dozen minutes, Ray and Lewbrand dine together.

Then after the meal, Lewbrand opens his mouth again before the fruit brought to him by the maid as a dessert.

"Ray, I want to ask you one last time. Are you willing to cooperate with me and Daridora?

Ray shakes his head to the side without saying anything to Lewbrand, who asks him that.

I guess I decided it was useless to say anything more. Lewbrand thumped at the dessert in front of him.

"Thank you, Lord Ray, for listening to Mr. Reubrand today."

At the end of the meal, Mebastian greets Ray deeply as he leaves the gates of the Lords' Hall.

To such a Mebastian, Ray shows his attitude that he shouldn't worry about shaking his neck sideways.

Next to Ray, Seto, who is in a good mood after eating many delicious dishes again, sounds his throat with joy.

"It wasn't a bad day for me, either. It was a bad day."

"Really?... So thank you so much for today"

Leaving Mebastian on the spot for a deep thank you, Ray left the spot with Seto.
