Legend

"Oh, welcome home. He came back and went on an early goblin crusade? You're still busy. Please sit over there."

That's what Marina tells her with a grin as she looks at Ray entering her room and suggests she sit on the couch.

He wears a party dress with a large breast exposure, as usual, and the seemingly soft two-hill valley is visible to Ray's eyes.

Vihera is never losing in the sense of exposure either, but I guess the marina still outweighs Vihera in terms of women's luster there.

Slightly out of sight of the brown valley, Ray nods at the marina's words as if to mislead something.

"Oh, there was a chance we could get the Unknown Monster's Demon Stone."

"I thought Ray would say that. Didn't Vihera go?

With a glossy grin like he expected from Ray's words, Marina turns her gaze to Vihera next to Ray.

"Even if they say so...... to be honest, they could have moved my forefinger a little bit if it was Goblin General or Goblin King. Goblin Leader."

Something that isn't funny to fight for, and a small, shouldering vihella.

If imitated as such, the twin hills rock with yusari, no less than the marina, naturally.

... At this time, a receptionist sneezed at the Alliance counter, but I guess that's not particularly causal.

"When we talked about Hester, we talked about a fairly smart individual..."

Ray clouding words.

Naturally. In fact, when Ray showed up, he was immediately killed by a flying slaughter.

This will mean that Ray has never seen that goblin leader smart.

Most of all... I guess all I can say is that goblins are goblins, as far as hanging pumps and hitting them in the play half.

"Yes. Anyway, goblins are not a problem monster on their own, but when they're numbered, they're troublesome. You've kept the damage under control, so we have to thank you properly."

It was a marina with an inviting gaze, but Vihella opens her mouth before its mouth opens any further.

"Marina, did you go out of your way to call Ray to say that?

"Oh, for a long time. Well, fine. as slowing down later around there...... how was it with the Solrain country? It's a desert over there, and there's going to be some unknown monster demon stones Ray likes, so I thought he wouldn't be back for a while."

Marina tells me unexpectedly she came home early......

Some marinas who ask so are just a little anxious.

The anxiety is not the anxiety as to whether Ray came back after something had been done... but rather the anxiety that maybe Ray had some hell of a case in Gosh and could no longer be over there.

The anxiety is never too much to think about just knowing someone named Ray.

"That, Ray. Could it be... could it really be, but we didn't have a big problem with Gosh, did we?

"Big problem? Big problem...... is that, for example, taking away the magic items that the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce with the most power in Gosh had, or threatening the Lords?

"... did you do it?

Out of Ray's mouth are both things you can call fatal failures if you normally think about them.

It was usually a marina set up like an adult woman who could afford it, but now she puts her hands on her forehead and looks at her desk as if she could take a headache.

I guess I was wondering how that marina looked. Ray hurries to open his mouth.

"I'm telling you, I took the magic item from a sandburglar... because I lent the magic item to a type of bandit whose meeting was sand aboard and let him attack other merchants? I took the sand from the sand thieves when I helped them."

"... yes. I don't know what else to do. It's about Ray, who's been told to eat bandits and stuff. Attacking bandits is already one of my hobbies."

Ray was a little surprised that the word "bandit eater" came out of the marina's mouth, but if you think about it, the marina is the guild master.

It's not strange to know how Ray is called, naturally.

Not to mention because Marina is a maiden in love.

"It's not my hobby to attack bandits..."

If that's really a hobby, that's a pretty nasty hobby.

I thought so, Ray, but if you look back at what you've done, you could never deny it.

"So, what threatened the lord?

"You're here to prove that I don't take nobility personally."

"... you don't ask me why that happened, do you?

If you listen to me any more, there are a lot of things in the marina that make my stomach ache.

After seeing the two of them, Vihera finally laughs.

Vihera and Marina are lovers, but that's not why we're not close to each other.

"It's about Ray, so I'm sure he did a lot of flying things again."

"I can't deny it, so it's bad."

Return the words as the marina sighs to Vihera, who grunts funny.

I just wanted to say that it's normal for Ray...... but it's true that it still can't be normal given what's going on.

In the first place, if it's normal to imitate threatening a lord, it's because there's so much noise.

(Still, if you're as talented as Ray, you'll be sheltered no matter what the Sollain nation says)

A rank B adventurer with an alias, who turned Griffon into an obedient demon. And when it comes to what it means to be aggressive, you have as much as you can handle an army on your own.

There is no way to dispose of all that human resources where subordinate countries have said something.

In the first place, if you are fled by another country trying to dispose of that, you will suffer a great deal by the time it is deadly for the Kingdom of Mireana.

Even if Ray thinks of disposing of it before he goes to another country... he can follow Griffon with as much mobility as he can handle an army on his own in the first place and not comparable to a carriage or horse, so hostility will only cause more damage.

On top of that, Ray is being sheltered by a neutral Dusker, who can turn the neutral against his enemies if he tries to dispose of Ray forcefully.

No matter what you think from anywhere, there was no means of disposing of Ray.

If you think three very powerful people admire Ray, Vihella, Marina...... and Elaine, you won't have the means to be hostile at that point.

Naturally, the marinas among those three were also going to use their authority as guild masters if Ray were to be crusaded, and their combat abilities as marinas individuals, to cover them.

(If that happens, we'll be in our settlement... oh, that might be nice too. Everyone in the settlement likes Ray about the world tree.)

Second, such temptation passes through the back of your brain.

But I immediately shook my head to the side and denied it.

Because if we imitate that, we probably won't fit in on our own.

That is why there could be another war between the Kingdom of Mireana and the Bestian Empire with Vihela turning her hand.

"... so, back to the matter of the goblin leader, can I assume it was a rare species?

Ray remembers his doubts about the sudden missed conversation, but decides he should get on with the conversation and shakes his neck to the marina.

"No, unfortunately it wasn't a rare species, it was a superior species. It wasn't the same as it was in the monster atlas, and Lenora didn't say anything about it when she showed her body."

"Well, I guess it just so happens that the goblin leader was smart."

The worryingly grunting marina was showing her mood sinking somewhere, as its expression suggests.

"Why are you sinking so far? It must have been about the goblin leader, right? Then I don't think you need to worry about that much."

"... yeah, right. I really hope it's done to that extent."

Ray and Vihella question the way things are said to have caught in the back teeth coming out of Marina's mouth.

If I tried to be the ray I fought, I was an opponent with nothing to say about it in particular.

I guess it's also a big deal that I couldn't really feel smart because I actually released a flying slash on the encounter head and ended up with it.

"In the meantime, Ray's not planning on moving out of the guild for a while, is he?

Ray nods back at Marina's words as she exhales small and asks her to change her mood.

"Can I even assume that Vihera won't move any more than Ray is in the Guild?

"I don't know. I'm not going to move, but I can never promise. Maybe we'll have to move something out of the blue."

"There's no other way around it. It would be helpful if you let me hear that it won't move without anything for now.... I'm sorry, Ray. I really wanted to talk to you a lot more, but I could do a little research."

We'll talk again next time, okay? And to the marina who tells me so, Ray nods.

Seeing those two, Vihera seemed a little uninteresting, but still the dissatisfaction opens her mouth without saying it.

"So what's in the way of the marina here, and should we go? I want to talk to Ray about something, too."

"... oh, I envy you so much. If I could, I'd like you to mix it up with that discussion."

"You have an investigation, don't you?

"Yeah, but still, is it weird that I want to talk to Ray"

We're laughing at each other and exchanging words, but for some reason Ray, who was watching that seemingly smiling exchange, has feelings that make his spine cold somewhere.

"Uh... well, I should probably get going. I still have someone in the guild I'd like to meet."

"Oh, is there someone else you'd like to meet with me or Vihera? I can't put it in the corner."

"... it sounds like something's just like me and you, saying a completely different word."

That's what Ray says back to Marina, who tells her with a teasing grin.

But that's what Ray told me. Marina naturally smiles.

"Ray's back at the corner, but we don't even have time to talk slowly, so maybe a little bit, right?

"Right. I know how Marina feels."

For some reason, Vihera agrees with the marina, and Ray finds it hard to complain any more than that.

Eventually, when he sighs small, he snorts uncomfortably.

"Okay, I'm gonna be a marina toy for the most part, so you're gonna have to be serious about your research, okay? It's something to do with this, isn't it?

Goblins are originally very numerous monsters.

Then naturally it wouldn't be strange to have some smart monsters inside.

This time it was just a superior species of goblin, the Goblin Leader, by chance... that's what Ray thinks, but it's uncomfortable somewhere.

I didn't have any proof, but I was still letting you know that discomfort was dangerous in me.

That's why Ray was expecting Marina to look into it.

I guess you understand that. Marina, too, nods back with a glossy grin, as usual.

"Well, then, if you find out anything, you might be going to ask Ray and Vihella for a nomination, so you're going to do it."

"Oh, abuse of the power of the Alliance Master?

It was Vihera I blame in words, but it's the grin that's on that look.

I guess it's because I know that. The marina also returns the words in a light tone.

"I don't mean it like that. It's just that it was Ray who solved this case, wasn't it? Then, naturally, it wouldn't be strange to get a nomination request in for something related to this case, would it?

"I wonder.... Well, I can act with Ray, so I have no complaints."

"... I'm a little jealous of that. Maybe I'll go back to being an adventurer anyway."

It was the words of a small, whining marina, but what you can feel there is definitely a genuine will.

Originally Marina does guild masters, but that's not meant to be guild masters forever.

Marina is still aware that she is an adventurer.

Still, so far, it has come without any particular problems.

But... when there's a mix of factors named Ray, it really turns Marina into a maiden in love, too.

... Still, I guess the marina's marina is the reason why I can't lightly abandon my position as Alliance Master just because of my own thoughts.
