Legend

At the end of Ray's gaze was a man of Rin's beauty... with the alias of General Princess, Elaine.
"Cu!"
From inside Ray's arms, when the yellow rings short, he wings his little wings and flies to Elaine.
Ray watched it in silence, but eventually saw Elaine take a step toward herself, and Ray also takes another step toward Elaine.
There are a lot of people around here who are just surprised without knowing what's going on, but neither Ray nor Elaine are going to notice it.
Some of them have taken part in the previously waged war of the Bestian Empire, or have seen Elaine's face from afar for any other reason, and others are rubbing their eyes knowing that it is Elaine there.
Most importantly, Elaine has been in the Guild before.
Some of you must have seen Elaine's face at that time.
Either way, despite being gazed at that way, Elaine and Ray get closer to each other...... eventually, Ray opens his mouth.
"Elaine, why are you here..."
Elaine smiles at Ray's words like that.
"After I heard about Vihera, I couldn't stay or not. I just had a lot of work to clean up, and I couldn't get here."
Naturally, Elaine knew what was going on in Vihera.
Ray and Elaine could use a pair of orbs to interact, not until, like, every day... but they still talk to each other every few days, so it was natural to let them know what happened to Vihera.
And when she heard about Vihera, Elaine managed to find a way to regain Vihera's consciousness with the Duke's... and use her influence to the fullest with General Princess's alias to gather information.
But the cause of Vihera's unconsciousness is Ambris.
Once three hundred years ago...... it also appeared in the Bestian Empire, not in the Kingdom of Mireana.
I can barely get more information, and still get some information that probably shows how famous Elaine's name is.
And he hastily cleaned up the work that had to be cleaned up at the very least, anticipating that he could afford some room, and thus came to the Guild.
The neighbors didn't look good for Elaine to go to the Guild again because she stayed in the Guild for quite a while this spring, but the neighborhood was in the form of Elaine putting her will through.
"Before this..."
"In the carriage."
Answer instantly, without letting Ray say his words to the end.
When we talked in the orb against each other a few days ago, we were already on our way to Gilm in a carriage, he said.
"You didn't have to hide anything, did you?
"Ara told me I should surprise you with this."
"... With that said, what about Ara?
Ray is uncomfortable that he can't see his best friend under Elaine's loyal ministry.
Ara's thoughts on Elaine are very strong... no, they can be strong or half rampant.
That would be natural if you think about when Ray first met Elaine, when Ray and Elaine had a good gaze.
"Ara is now preparing to stay in the house. Of course it's the wheat pavilion at dusk."
"You used to have an empty room."
At present, Gilm has some problems with Ambris, and there are many merchants who were unable to come during that time.
Many of these merchants should naturally be called big merchants, and one of the lodgings where such people stay is the wheat pavilion at dusk.
Ray is surprised to hear that Elaine took a room only at the wheat pavilion at dusk, which is not strange to be buried with such merchants and adventurers.
I would have liked to talk to Elaine a lot more about it, but I honestly couldn't speak of my thoughts because I was suddenly reunited with Elaine like this.
"Well, fortunately, a lot of merchants know me."
"I guess..."
The information is the merchant of life... it's also the merchants who can afford to stay in the wheat pavilion at dusk.
Naturally some people know Elaine's face, and for such people, it is nothing but luck to say that they can get along with Elaine simply by giving up the inn room.
The merchants who successfully negotiated with Elaine would see how great it was that they could have gotten to know Elaine if they had turned their gaze of jealousy to other merchants.
"Anyway, there are people here. Why don't we go back to the inn?
"Right. I have a lot to talk about, too."
Whimpering, seeing Elaine makes me feel that something heavy inside me is fading, albeit slightly.
Of course, just because I met Elaine doesn't mean it's completely gone, but I still thought talking to Elaine right now would be more of a mood change than anything else.
Do you understand Ray's thoughts like that, or are you not there?
Either way, Elaine starts walking with Ray toward the wheat pavilion at dusk.
Behind those two, Seto, who is done playing with his kids, follows them with a yellow on his head.
Two and two...... that wasn't so uncommon in the Guild alone, but this is how the Rays actually walk catch people's attention no matter what.
While we walk each other, we don't talk about anything.
It was the two of us going on silently like that, but there's no awkward atmosphere between wonder and Ray and Elaine.
No, on the contrary, we each had that silence... Ray enjoyed the silence that Elaine was there, and Elaine even enjoyed the silence that Ray was there.
Full silence because we have each other, not normal silence.
Behind Ray and Elaine are Seto and Yellow, but I don't think anyone would want to speak up to the atmosphere that those two create.
Even those who would undoubtedly be speaking up to Seto if they were normal.
That is how we arrive at the wheat pavilion at dusk with each other remaining silent.
"Gru......"
Even though Seto sounds a little lonely, we head straight to the stables without Ray telling us anything.
Ray didn't even know if he felt pity for Seto like that, or if he simply wanted to play more with Seto, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, but Yello followed him to the stables with Seto on his head.
Authentically alone, Ray and Elaine enter the wheat pavilion at dusk.
"... Ah, Master Elaine! If you thought you were gone at some point, you'd be out there!
A few seconds after we're alone, someone in the inn finds Elaine and Ray and tells them so.
Naturally Ray also knew who the person was.
"Long time no see, Ara"
That's what Ray tells Elaine before she says anything.
In such a state of Ray, Ara is forced to swallow words that caution Elaine.
And I refuse, I open my mouth.
Long time no see, Lord Ray.
"Seems like you've caused a lot of trouble on my case this time... but honestly, it helped. Elaine must have been a little impotent to see me too, so take a look at her a little more."
If Ray tells me that much, Ara has to back off, too.
It's also huge that Ara owes a lot to Ray, but above all, that Elaine is laughing.
Ever since she was informed about Vihella, Elaine had often thought about it.
I laugh if I have to, of course, but that's just a making laugh.
Such Elaine was now smiling naturally.
I didn't get a word for a moment when Elaine came back to the wheat pavilion at dusk because I hadn't seen Elaine have a natural grin in a long time.
There was also the most vihella thing, and there was no reason for a full laugh.
Still, if you look at Elaine now, Ara feels relieved.
(Dear Elaine... Good...)
Even if that's what you think on the inside, it's still not funny that Elaine left the city alone.
It's not just about pushing yourself to work… it's about purely worrying about Elaine.
Elaine is beautiful enough for everyone to be blinded at a glance.
If such Elaine walks all over the city by herself, she is very likely to get caught up in troublesome events.
Given Elaine's strength, there's nothing I can do about it if someone comes up with something.
I know that, but sometimes it's just in case.
Especially since this guild has a bunch of skilled adventurers, it could be just in case.
"So, Ara. Enough about the room?
"Yes, and a proper thank you goes to the merchant who gave us the room"
"Right."
Nodding at the words, Elaine turns her gaze to Ray.
"I'd like to see how Vihera is doing, okay?
"Oh. I'll show you right away"
The unconscious Vihera remains asleep in the bed of the Inn taking to the wheat pavilion at dusk.
Shouldn't some of them be transported to the hospital? I had that opinion, but I just blocked the bed because leaving it in the hospital would not give me an indication of treatment, beyond the fact that the circumstances that made me unconscious were circumstances.
It would be a natural decision given the fact that a lot of people were injured in the battle against a bunch of monsters and that no matter how many beds there were, it was not enough.
In addition, the doctor did not put it directly in his mouth, but it was also said that if the beauty of Vieira or so was left unconscious and put to bed, there was a good chance that someone with a bad idea would come out.
I would have managed to some extent even if I had someone who would normally try to give a little bit to an unconscious Vihera.
However, in the circumstances at the time when the injured were mass-produced, they could not get that far...... in the end the choice was to put them to sleep in the bed in Vihera's room, which is being taken at the wheat pavilion at dusk.
Most importantly, the wheat pavilion at dusk is known as a luxury inn and naturally has a high awareness of crime prevention.
Security was tighter than at the hospital, even if someone tried to get a little bit out of Vihera.
It would also definitely have affected that he was to be transported to the wheat pavilion at dusk, when he had eaten nothing, had not drunk nothing to lose weight, and was in a strange state of not scratching sweat.
Currently, if anything happens, I hire a woman to look after Vihera and have her waiting in Vihera's room.
It seems natural not to get lost in hiring a woman.
Note that this job, which is highly rewarding even though it is in the room and only informs Vihera immediately if anything happens, was naturally highly competitive when recruited.
Lana, the general of the wheat pavilion at dusk, was interviewed, and an acknowledged person is now in charge of Vihera's room.
Ray and Elaine stand in front of such a Vihera room.
At first Ara also wanted to come a little, but Ray and Elaine, Vihella... and I'm not here, but I know about Marina's relationship.
I decided here that even if I was forced to follow, it would just be annoying, and I was packing my room.
"Ready?
"Uhm."
Elaine nods at Ray's words, confirms it, and then knocks on the door.
Sounds that echo around you.
A little while later, I heard voices from across the door.
"Who is it?
"It's me, it's Ray"
When Ray names it, the door opens.
It was a middle-aged woman in her forties who had turned her gaze from the gap in the door to confirm.
It's slightly bigger beside me to call it the middle meat mid back... but what's on that look is a tender looking grin.
"Mr. Ray, you're very early today"
"Oh, I've got a visitor for Vihera."
Turn your body aside and show Elaine behind you to a middle-aged woman.
The woman opens her eyes wide to the beauty of Elaine, who all of a sudden appears in front of her... but immediately returns to me and opens her mouth.
"Well, that's a long time no see. I can't believe there are other beauties like this in Mr. Vihera... you'd be mad if Mr. Vihera woke up, wouldn't you?
"Heh heh, don't worry. I'm one of those people who swore a future with Ray, just like Vihella."
"... oh well. Mr. Ray has been..."
She was a woman with a funny smile, but Ray slips away from her gaze softly.
Because I knew it would make fun of me as it was.
The woman in front of me likes to take care of her and has a strong interest in other people's love because she fully understood that she has been taking care of Vihera here for a while.
"Anyway, I'm sorry, but will you take your seat off for once?
"Yeah, I don't mind. Please wait a moment."
I went inside the room, and I guess I was knitting until Ray got here. I hold the knitting in my hand and get out of the room.
"Then call me when you're done with business. I'm in the dining room on the first floor."
"I'm sorry. … now you can have some tea."
When Ray hands over a few copper coins, the woman leaves with a grin.
Dropping it off, Ray and Elaine enter the room.
There are two beds in the room because this room is rented by Vihera and Bühne.
Most importantly, Bühne is not in the Guild right now.
(When Bühne returns, we have to talk about Vihera, or what)
With that in mind, Ray turns his gaze to the bed.
There, there was a figure of Vihera who just seemed asleep.
