Legend

The day after we had the farewell party...... Ray's appearance was in front of Gosh's main entrance.

At the main entrance are the appearances of Auguste and Kathy.

The truth is, Augusto wanted Gunter here too, but unfortunately Gunter is the gatekeeper of Augusto's mansion.

Unless there were other people to talk about it, only one Gunter is the gatekeeper now.

For this reason, the formal parting was already done when Ray left Augusto's mansion.

... but Gunter didn't say anything particularly thoughtful, he just took a short word to come back.

Instead... there was a figure in front of the main entrance that Ray had not expected.

"It's a long and steep story to go home. I wanted to talk to you about that village."

It's Zaroust who tells Ray that.

Zalust, who was supposed to be in the village of the Hundred Faces, said why he was here... only by pure coincidence.

Originally Zaroust, along with Narusas and Ray, acted to defeat Augusto and the assassins who were after Daridora's life.

As a result, there was also the meaning of protecting the other village in order to secure the home village of the Hundred Faces.

But some of those Ray took on a sandy boat looked like adventurers, and Zaroust, who was unprepared for nothing, would no longer have to stay in the village.

Even if you're not prepared for anything, Zaroust and Narsus are also skilled adventurers.

Camping...... on the contrary, there are houses and supplies just because people lived there a while back.

It's not hard to live in a place like that alone.

That would also have made it possible to live there as it were.

But... just because you can live there doesn't really mean you can live there.

In the first place, no matter how much you can live in that village, you will naturally want to use what you are used to.

Not to mention that using a change of clothes that I don't know who belongs to is still when there's nothing I can do about it. However, I wanted to refrain if I had a change of my own if I went back to Gosh.

For that reason, Zaroust also hitched a ride in a carriage to bring some of the information that was once obtained by the investigation team to Gosh.

Naturally, we don't just ride in, we travel the desert even for a short time, so it also means escorting monsters and sand thieves when they arrive.

That's how I came back and tried to go through the process of trying to get inside the gosh... just when Ray and Seto, and Augusto and Kathy showed up from the main entrance.

Naturally Zaroust, who heard Ray was leaving Gosh today, was surprised and thus blamed half Ray... but still had his grievances in his mouth.

"I didn't come to Gosh for any reason."

To be precise, there was a reason to leave the persistent merchants in the matter of the spear of dusk, but Ray wasn't going to say it.

I guess you just want to decide that what you've come to Gosh is what you become, or what you don't have any particular reason to do...

"Then why don't you stay a little longer? Honestly, I owe Ray a few things, so I need you to stay until I return them."

"I have a lot of business here, too. I can't be in Gosh like this forever. And..."

"And?"

"... you want to be in the Guild this time of year if you can"

I'm in the desert in the summer...... thanks to wearing a dragon robe, it was true that even if I didn't feel the heat at all, I had all sorts of terrible impressions just from the image of the words.

Zaroust sighs a small sigh at Ray for being somewhat confused by his words like that.

Born and raised in Gosh, Zaroust... and for Augusto and Kathy, desert is always the same thing.

Of course it's not like there's nothing at all. There are not as many distinct seasons in the Guild as there are, but things like temperatures and scenery can change somewhat over the course of the year.

"And..."

"And?"

Zaroust tells Ray he stopped the words on the way again, but Ray shakes his neck sideways saying it's nothing.

(I'm glad to hear that Demon Stone got quite a bit of it this way. Well, I guess there are still other monsters specific to the desert...... you can take them down around there when that's when you come to Gosh again)

The idea of living in Gosh didn't exist in any way, Ray, but I didn't mean to hesitate to come visit sometimes.

Especially since substitutes such as gosh-specific spices and ingredients get a lot more expensive when bought in other cities.

(Direct delivery from the region... No, in this case I am coming to the region to buy it myself directly, no)

It reminds me of when I was in Japan, behind Ray's brain.

It is also a winter specialty, Hatha Hatha. It is expensive to buy it in a supermarket, but it was not uncommon to buy it directly from a fisherman for less than half the price.

(Well, it was hard to soak Hatha sushi)

Helping to soak Hatha's sushi as a help to her parents is an annual event for Ray.

Most importantly, sushi is not grilled sushi, but rather rice sushi, and the sushi soaked in it will be preserved in the freezer and eaten all year round.

Of course Ray liked Hatha's sushi.

(... yeah? Why are you thinking about Hatha?

I realized that for some reason my thoughts were moving on to someone completely unrelated to Gosh, shaking my head small...... I guess it was caused by what I remembered. Ray suddenly wants to eat Hatha.

But I don't even know if Hatha exists in this world in the first place.

Hathahata was also a deep-sea fish, even if he was there, and not one that Ray and Seto could catch so easily in an attempt to acquire.

(No, Seto can also fly through the sky while lifting a bear. For example, if you use a net maybe...?

I sigh like Zaroust was somewhere spooked by Ray thinking that way.

"Ray, you can think about it, but I'm in trouble when I'm suddenly immersed in you on my way to talking to me."

"Hmm? Oh, bad. I just wanted to eat some fish."

"... fish, huh"

Gosh sells fish caught from oasis, but naturally the number is not that high, very scarce... and therefore expensive.

I'm about the adventurer of The Roost, to the extent that I can finally eat if I can't do it a little bit.

"In the first place, being able to eat fresh fish in the desert is a great thing in itself."

I understand that.

From there, for some reason, for a few minutes, Ray and Zaroust...... and Kathy, whose cooking is their hobby, or four augusts who like to eat delicious dishes, talk bounces about fish dishes.

"Well, Gilm has such fish dishes.... Kathy, can you make it?

"I don't know. But if you want Augusto, I'll definitely make it."

"Mr. Ougust is envious to have a good cooking wife"

Listening to you interact with those three, a bored ceto rubs his head against Ray.

"Gru......"

Is it still hanging? and stroke Ray's head saying it was bad to see Seto tilting his little neck.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to talk a little more, but Seto seems to be the limit. I should probably get going."

It was naturally Cassie who seemed most sad about Ray's words telling him so.

And Augusto also has an unfortunate look on his face.

Of course Zaroust is sorry, but meeting and breaking up is inevitable more than being an adventurer.

I was Zaroust who understood that, but I'm pretty sure it's a shame that Ray, who still owes me, will be gone from Gosh.

"Ray, see you... see you later. Me and Augusto are always welcome."

Cathy in tears strokes Ray's head.

It was from the top of it, as it remained on the hood of the dragon robe, but it still seems to me that Ray felt the warmth of Kathy's hand stroking himself.

"Oh, I'll be back. Kathy's food was delicious."

To Ray, who said that with a grin, Kathy smiles back and nods happily, too.

"Mr. Ray, if anything happens, you can count on me. Because it will be as powerful as possible. … but I doubt how much I can do to help Ray."

"Well, we have to go to Gosh to rely on Mr. Auguste's help."

Ray nods at Auguste and Zaroust's somewhere light-mouthed mixed words.

"Oh. If anything happens, let me count on you.... See you later"

Speaking briefly to both of them, Ray crosses Seto's back.

"Bye, Seto. Let's go."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto rings high with joy.

... The monster, who was near Gosh when he heard that voice, understood the existence of the overwhelming strong and quickly left, but that would not be in Ray's or Seto's knowledge.

Seto ascends to the sky with wings winged after a few steps of aid.

Three people, Augusto, Kathy and Zarousto, who would drop it off, were dropping off Seto's appearance gradually becoming smaller in a cloudless sky.

Augusto spares the relying adventurer leaving, Kathy falls zero tears that she had put up with the fact that she no longer had someone she thought was the same as her son, and Zalusto regrets that Ray left so much better than herself that she was ridiculous to compare while she was younger.

All three of them spared Ray's presence in each of them, but Zaroust was probably the saddest in the sense that there was no longer a rank B adventurer with an alias rather than an individual named Ray.

Zaroust is known in Gosh as a handyman, but that's only in Gosh.

It is honest that there is more to be taught as an adventurer from Ray, alias Boom in the Kingdom of Mireana and the Bestian Empire.

... Most of all, Ray is a combat specialist adventurer.

In the sense of an adventurer in the general sense, it never means excellence.

No, of course it's a lot of skill compared to a normal adventurer, but still a standard if you look at it as a Rank B adventurer... or maybe a little below that.

In Ray's case, his skill as an adventurer of that average degree is equal to being gobbled with physical abilities, out-of-digit magic, the presence of a griffon ceto, and a host of magic items.

It's not wrong that I can do that because I have as much power as I can to push it.

"... yeah?

Zaroust, who regretted wanting to do a mock fight with Ray, notices a few figures rushing towards us from the open main gate.

Understanding who it is, Zaroust frowns slightly.

Because he was Daridora and his escorts.

It was Ougust and Daridora, who had been targeted by the Hundred Sided and had cooperated on the matter of the village, but one of the reasons for this was the presence of Ray.

If Daridora tries to get rid of Augusto, without refusing, Daridora and her escorts will run into Ray.

And because he understands that if he bumps into Ray, he won't have a winner, Daridora took a conciliatory stance with Augusto.

But...... given the current situation with that ray gone, I'd say it's a delicate place to say whether or not to maintain that attitude.

"Oh, I came in a little hurry...... apparently, you didn't make it. Was it after Mr. Ray left already?"

"... you're a lot quicker"

Augusto asks back, revealing his vigilance, where he purchased the information that Ray was leaving Gosh.

Like Zaroust, now that Ray is gone, you don't have to join hands with yourself.

No, given the rights of the Hundred Sided, the existence of Auguste is harmless and without profit.

Whatever it is, I don't think it's going to set something up in the sight of someone like this... but still, given Daridora's previous behavior, I might.

He was an Ougust who was nervous like that in his heart, but as if he had read Ougust's mind like that, Daridora smiles and opens her mouth.

"Rest assured. I'm not going to imitate Mr. Ougust any more. If that's what Ray finds out..."

Even without saying the words to the end, the future that Daridora would follow could be understood by everyone on the spot.

Of course, I really don't know if Ray is coming back to this gosh.

But... if I end Augusto, I have to spend all four or six hours frightened of when Ray will come.

Even Daridora, who has a nervous personality, can't stand those days.

As a result... Daridora decided to work with Augusto, though reluctantly.
