Legend

Linus opens his mouth as he panicked against Ray, who tried to stand up saying he wasn't going to take the request.

"Wait! You think this one can tolerate coming this far and not taking requests!?

"I don't know what's going on over there. It's none of my business."

Already Ray's tone is not as polite a language as it was when he first met Linus.

Because he decided he was hostile to Linus' demands, which could also be called irrational.

"Don't be ridiculous! That you came to this mansion meant you were going to take my request, right? Yet..."

"It's true that I was willing to take the request, but I'm not willing to take the request without being asked about the raw hate and the contents. Not to mention, if you ask me what the request is, and I'm not going to take the request without question,"

This would have been different if Ray and I had been dating, like Dusker.

Or even if he was polite to Ray from the start, it's possible that Ray got the request.

But Linus had a confident attitude as a nobleman...... another way of looking at it was to treat him as a less favored nobleman for Ray.

Though I didn't even go as far as the typical aristocracy Ray hates the most, such as, of course, seeing it from above because I think it's a big premise to listen to myself from the start.

Still, it's an unmistakable fact to Ray that he was dealing with and not a very interesting opponent.

"Don't be ridiculous!

Anger rising out of Linus's mouth again.

Linus showing an attitude that he can afford, but that's never from the heart.

In the first place, if you really can afford it, you don't have to come all the way to the Gilm on the border.

Linus, who does not originally live in the Guild, has thus come to the Guild, indicating his inability to afford it.

Still, to Linus, I have the pride that I am a nobleman… it is also a royalist nobleman.

No matter how many arms stood, pride did not allow such imitation against adventurers to go badly.

It would be a big deal that this attitude still didn't look like Ray had the strength to hear rumors.

If this had made Ray's appearance a muscular big man, he might have handled it a little differently.

"That's the end of the story, isn't it? Then I'll let you go."

A guard knight, who was holding back behind Linus, turns a sharp gaze against Ray, who pissed off his husband.

But Ray didn't seem to care at all about the condition of such a knight, and he told him so and rose from the couch where he was sitting.

The knights don't move because their master Linus hasn't issued any orders yet.

If an order were issued from Linus's mouth, it would move quickly.

... but that doesn't necessarily mean Ray can do something about it.

"Wait!"

I can hear that, but Ray leaves the room listening to it.

"Damn!

Linus screams in frustration.

"Should we leave, if you like?

"No."

Immediately dismiss the words of the Knight of the Guard.

I didn't check Ray's strength directly with my own eyes.

But still, half of what my fellow Kings told me... no, if it was true even a quarter, it was obvious that the knight of the escort wouldn't stand a tooth no matter what he did.

The knights understood that, too, but it was from the thought that they could not refuse their master's request and leave Ray, who had caused them to scratch their shame, intact.

Linus also now understands that the conversation went the wrong way, but still can't roll back the time.

I'm never in a position to afford it right now.

If it has become impossible to make a request to Ray, we have to act differently.

Because I can never say the best, but that's still all I can do right now.

Rey, who refused Linus's request without question, goes to the stables and leaves the mansion with Seto, as does the aristocratic city.

Seto walking next to Ray would seem satisfied that while Ray was dealing with Linus, he'd always been adored for being fed by such people as maids, soldiers and butlers.

"I hear you've given me a very graceful time while I'm dealing with nobles."

"Gru?"

Really? and to Ceto tilting his neck, Ray gently reaches out and strokes his body.

I guess that felt good. Seto narrows his eyes as he walks and sounds his throat joyfully.

The frustration when I spoke to Linus disappears as I stroke Seto.

Ray's feelings, which he offered me, gradually calmed down.

"When you think about it, Seto is like my tranquilizer."

You didn't know what Ray meant by words, Seto leans his neck.

In that way, Ray and Seto go down the boulevard while spending plenty of time with each other.

Naturally Ray and Seto look like those walking down the boulevard, and the children who were playing first come over.

"Seto, Seto, let's play together!

"Uh, Seto's gonna play with us!

"Yah! Seto's playing with us!

"Shut up! Seto's gonna play with us, 'cause that's what you're saying!

If you want to play with Seto, the kids come together.

But when a man's child and a woman's child each play with Seto, they argue so.

Usually, a man pushes more vigorously and says it out... but when it comes to playing with Seto, neither does a woman retreat.

"Play! We play! Even Seto should play with us!

"You're kidding me! Seto's gonna play with us!

It will be exactly one-touch instant, and even now it will not be strange for either of us to get our hands on it.

Adults who watched it around try to step out to stop it... but there were those who stepped forward before it.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto's, embarrassing squeal.

Compared to the voice usually when fighting the enemy, it was a chirping sound that could be said to be calm... but still enough to attract the consciousness of the children to themselves.

(Craftsmanship...?

Fu Ray thinks that way, watching Seto embarrass the kids with his throat rattling.

If you're a regular monster, it's not strange to get away with it instantly if you hear Seto squeal.

But Seto now sounds solid in the ears of the kids who are excited about his ringing...... so he adjusts to make himself aware and not scared.

It wouldn't be strange if Ray thought of it as a craftsmanship on the inside.

The adults who were trying to stop the children around me also smile at Seto's appearance without my knowledge.

Seto Race...... Normally Griffon is not the first thing to see even if you live in a peripheral guilm as a Rank A monster.

No, the rank A monster itself is very rare, so it would be nice to see a rank A monster other than Griffon.

... In the first place, if a Rank A monster existed in and around Goblin, a city called Gilm would be devastated.

On the contrary, it is likely that the Kingdom of Mireana itself will do something about it.

(Besides, Ceto is a rare Griffon species, which is equivalent to rank S)

Rank S monsters are all over there...... thinking about that makes me wonder if this world itself is going to end, instead of Gilm or the Kingdom of Mireana.

If that happened, would Ray take Vihera and abandon Gilm......?

I thought so, Ray, but I didn't know if I would actually do such an imitation until then.

(I don't even think Marina would imitate abandoning the guild. That way, I feel like I'm going to end up working with you)

It was Ray watching the sight of Seto starting to play with both the male and female children, but he feels his gaze and sees the building nearby.

There he was, a familiar face.

He was one of the escorts who had previously withheld behind Linus at the Viscount Marnino's house.

As soon as Ray and his gaze meet, he leaves the spot.

(What's the purpose? I didn't care you didn't take the request, so I came to get revenge... or something? Then I don't mind that, and this one just handles it with the right attitude)

But the gaze the knight had directed at himself was frustrating, but in it he also felt rational enough.

If the other side has done something, just respond to it.

Think so, look around again.

Compared to the time of the Ambris affair, the number of people has increased considerably.

Most importantly, winter is just around the corner.

In that case, there will be no choice but to reduce the number of people again, even throughout the city of Gilm, where the number of cornermen has increased.

"Winter, winter"

"Yeah? What's going on? Suddenly"

When Ray shrugged unexpectedly, a man who looked smiling at the sight of Seto and the children playing nearby turned his gaze strangely towards Ray.

"No, fall is almost over and it's winter.... because I thought it was Gamelion season."

"... if you say so. I totally forgot about Ambris this year from summer to fall."

Sometimes it's getting cooler from summer to autumn, and people move quite vigorously.

Also, there are merchants who go to the guilds early in the winter to think about purchasing products, so it was normal to have more people in the guilds, even if it wasn't about spring.

But there was also the Ambris thing this year, where people looked less from the middle of the summer until around the beginning of fall.

For that reason, even though I heard Ray say it was time for Gamelion season, I suppose that's what I thought...

Most of all, until now, Ray has been going gamelion hunting as he does every year, but I'm not in the mood for that this year.

There was also the case of Vihera, who did not regain consciousness, because there was a top priority to do something about it.

The matter of today's nomination request is also a strong aspect of mood swings that are stuck with no progress on the Vihela case.

If Linus had explained the contents of the request firmly to Ray, depending on its contents, Ray would have received it.

Of course if the request seemed to take a month or two, I would have said no.

"Uh, Gamelion? It's time for winter."

I was listening to Ray and the guy, another guy squeaks.

The others nodded in agreement with the words.

"Is the season still a little early now?

"I guess. If it hadn't gotten a little colder, Gamelion wouldn't be out."

Ray turns his gaze to Mystering as he sees those thriving on the subject of Gamelion that way.

I got it last year from the disturbance in the dungeon, because there's a lot of gamelion meat in there.

I've had quite a bit of it in Ray and Seto's stomach over the past year, but still a lot of it is in mysteries.

Considering that it is the only meat that can be taken by hanging it from late fall to early winter, it really makes me reluctant to use it.

As a result, large quantities of oak meat exist anytime, anywhere.

(Originally I wasn't going gamelion hunting this year, but don't make enough meat)

With that in mind, I see children playing with Seto chatting with those around me enough.

Even if we were just having a chat like this, it was so moody that it was too much for Ray.

But there's no way I'm wasting my time like this forever.

Time to go home... When I thought so, Ray saw an impossible existence.

No, it's not as unlikely. Because Ray has seen it many times before.

Still, if it's meant to be, a being who shouldn't be in a place like this. That's...

"Cu!"

A yellow pops into Ray's chest with a happy chirp.

"Yellow!? Why are you here?

To an all too unexpected development, a startling voice is spouted out of Ray's mouth.

This Black Dragon child is Elaine's demon.

I mean, it's not who you should be here if you're supposed to be.

And... the fact that there are yellows here...

When I think about it, the breathtaking sound of those around me accidentally enters Ray's ear.

And everyone is looking in one direction.

There, who is there... that Ray could understand more than having a yellow one.

If you're supposed to be here, you can't be here more than a yellow one.

Ray opens his mouth, gazing at a beautiful woman with golden hair as if she had shaped the sunlight intact.

"Elaine."
