Legend

The marina, who wants to talk to the Alliance Master, tells the receptionist… shortly she was led to the Alliance Master's office.

Some guild officials naturally knew what Marina looked like, and the person apparently advanced up there.

For this reason, the marina disappears into the back of the guild without any particular waiting.

Rays came to the guild with the marina to keep the marina from getting tangled up by strange opponents.

Beyond that, we don't have to act together separately from here on out, but wait for the marina in a tavern co-located with Johanna and the others on the guild.

... while naturally ordering a lot of food.

Ray, Elaine, Ara, Elk. And Johanna and her people.

There is no more than that number of people at one table, and Ray, Elaine and Johanna sit at one table, and the rest of us sit at a table near Ray's seat to deal with those who are trying to eavesdrop on Ray's stories.

Those in the tavern naturally pay attention to such lay people, but others, starting with the elk, were holding back such opponents and making them respond so that they could not eavesdrop.

"So, after all, why are Johanna and the others here?

Asked while eating a stewed pork meat and vegetable sandwich, Johanna opens her mouth with a slightly more serious look.

"Well, I heard that the dungeons have a rare and highly effective potion..."

"Potion? Why again... no, it's Vihella?

"Yes."

To Ray's words, Johanna nods back immediately.

After seeing how Johanna was doing like that, Ray quickly understood too.

Johanna and the others, who now belong to the Kingdom of Mireana, were originally born and raised in the Bestian Empire.

Besides, in times of civil unrest, Vihera and I also act together.

Also, originally, Vihera was highly popular within the Bestian Empire, and few Johanna and the others have such a strong yearning for Vihera.

If I knew that such a vihella was in an unconscious state about Ambris, it wouldn't have been strange for anyone to come out who naturally wanted to do something about it.

And Johanna and the others look for ways in which they might be able to regain Vihera's consciousness.

First of all, it was impossible for us to use our own magic...

Some of the people who have migrated to Gilm have been able to use simple magic, but Ray wouldn't have struggled this far if he could regain Vihera's consciousness with such a degree of magic.

He tried to go under those who could use healing magic or create a potion from the alchemist to regain consciousness, all of which Ray had already hit and was turned down when he heard about Vihera.

Other than that, I thought about it a lot, but naturally the way Johanna and the others come up with it is something that people like Ray and Marina have already tried.

And the last thing left...

"Magic items available in dungeons, or"

"Yes."

Johanna nods softly as Ray concludes at the end of the explanation.

Sometimes things like magic items and potions can be found in the dungeons that are sometimes unthinkable.

For example, Aara's Power Axe, which looks around at a remote table, is also a substitute found in this dungeon.

If so, then neither is it possible to find a very effective potion.

Of course I had to say that the possibility was very small if people were to ask me if I could really get the substitute I was after.

But still, that's all Johanna and the others could do for Vihera right now.

So for about a month now, Johanna and the others have been coming to this dungeon for potions.

Most importantly, it was done because we were already ready to go over the winter.

That's why I could also do something like look for a potion in this dungeon that would allow me to regain Vihera's consciousness.

Also, if you dive into a dungeon, you naturally encounter monsters to obtain demonic stones, crusade proof sites, and other materials depending on the hierarchy.

Even if I couldn't get a potion, it never meant I had no income because they bought them out.

"Before this, Lizardman had a pretty good Halvard.... Well, nobody could use it, so I sold it."

Johanna tells with a smile on her face.

I guess it sold for an extra high price. The others also had a happy grin.

"... I see"

"So, why are the Rays in this dungeon? I knew you wanted potion just like us?

Johanna's tone asking so seemed to me to be so determined.

We fought through that civil unrest together, so naturally I understand the emotions that Vihella is pointing at Ray.

That's why I came here to regain Vihera's consciousness... so that's the question.

But Ray shakes his neck sideways at Johanna's words like that.

"Huh?"

Johanna asks back wondering if she could not understand Ray's behavior.

Naturally. After all, Ray and the others came here because they thought they were just looking for potions, just like themselves.

I asked once, but that meant more confirmation in one way or another.

In response to such an inquiry, it would naturally be questionable because it was the act of denial that came back.

Slightly... really slightly, but the gaze toward Johanna's Ray gets tougher.

"Maybe there's no way I just came to make money... right?

"Sort of."

I agree perfectly with Johanna's inquiry.

As for Johanna, who knows the relationship between Ray and Vihera, it is now time to put a bewildered look on Ray's words like that.

"Uh, so what did Mr. Ray end up here to do?

"Naturally, to regain Vihella's consciousness."

"No, because..."

Johanna whines in such a way that she doesn't completely understand.

Elk, who was watching Johanna like that, opens his mouth just a little bit frightened.

"Ray, shouldn't we keep it around? This lady doesn't understand what you're talking about."

"Uncle..."

I wanted to argue with you lady calling, Johanna, but if it was Elk who said it, I can't even complain.

It's only been Johanna a year or so since she came to Gilm, but naturally even Gilm knows Elk's face and name, famous as a rank A adventurer with an alias.

There's no way a rookie can say anything about himself to someone like that, and he won't accept it.

... but I might have bitten if the topic was about Seto, not me.

Swallow one or two sips of ale on the table just to calm down a little.

And when she calms down, Johanna can also predict what Ray wants to say... seep stunning into her expression.

"Maybe you found another way to regain the consciousness of Master Vihella besides the potion?

"That's right.... in a way that has a lot of problems. That's what I was talking to Marina about earlier."

Johanna remembers what Marina said earlier about Ray.

Sakuraku,. Johanna, who swallowed spit rather than ale, turns her serious gaze to Ray.

"Tell me. How can I regain the consciousness of Master Vihella?

To Johanna's words, Ray looks around.

Ray eventually opens his mouth, confirming that Johanna's people are a wall that blocks them from their surroundings.

"Undead to someone I know...... there's Rich Road. If he uses the heart of a Rank S monster, he'll regain Vihera's consciousness soon."

"... Huh?

I guess I didn't understand the words that came out of Ray's mouth.

I don't know what they said.

That's how Johanna looks back at Ray.

"Uh, the... Mr. Ray, the meaning of what you're saying is a bit"

"I guess."

Agreed with Ray's words, Elk.

I nod and open my mouth when I say I can understand how Johanna feels too.

"I know how your daughter feels, but what Ray's saying is true.... No, I haven't seen that Rich Road yet."

"Rich Road...... Huh? Oh, Rank S Monster, is that why you're in this dungeon?

Johanna was surprised by Ray's words that he knew Rich Road, but still works his head to understand why the Rays came to this dungeon.

If you're just going to treat Rich Road, you don't have to come to the dungeon.

That's the only way you can treat me in some unseen forest.

But if you need the heart of a Rank S monster, that's not what such a rare monster looks like to be around.

But this dungeon has a silver lion.

In the sense of getting the heart of a Rank S monster, there will definitely be no more places.

"So, what do we do? Well, what can I say to Ray that we are dealing with a Rank S Monster..."

You feel sorry for yourself, Johanna, who groans sadly.

I really want to do anything for Vihera.

But Johanna herself knew perfectly well that she didn't have enough strength to fight Rank S monsters.

Johanna groans with regret.

The voice was heard, and Johanna's companions around him gave an equally regrettable look.

"Don't worry...... the way you say it may not be a bit funny, but I already have enough power with the Silver Lion. All I'm asking you to do is watch Vihella and Rodos while we fight the Silver Lion at the bottom of the dungeon."

"... oh, I see"

To Ray's words, Johanna gives a slightly unfortunate but convincing look.

"I know there aren't any monsters on the bottom floor other than silver lions, but still, just in case, I need you to stay with someone."

That was something I could convince Johanna as well.

There's no better way to pull extra talent out of it than by challenging a handful of elite, rank S monsters.

It is an already known fact that there are no monsters at the bottom other than silver lions.

I guess that's why the arms are so keen to hire someone they can trust even there.

(Plus, it must be huge to have me. There's no way I can keep Vihera unconscious to a man.)

My companions are also more like profound loyalties to Vihera than they are from the Bestian Empire.

But at the same time, it is true that Vihella has such an attractive appearance and limb that she is blinded at a glance, and what happens if such an opponent stays in front of us unconscious...

I definitely couldn't say enough that I could contain the desire that would spring up from within me......

"Is it in the form of an escort for once...?

"Right. However, I think it would actually take the form of an escort."

And my son Rodos.

That was the elk I would tell you, but the moment Rodos' name came up, Johanna and the others' faces were instant but strong.

Naturally. Rhodos is the opponent who fought in the civil unrest.

Few fought directly, but many saw that they still had a strong obsession with Ray.

So many people have some thoughts about the name of Rhodos.

But if Ray, who was most obsessed with that Rhodos, says nothing and gives permission..., Johanna nods.

"Okay. Just like Master Vihella... I will do everything I can."

"Ooh, that's fine. I've heard about your relationship with Rodos, and that's all they do, and I'm not complaining about this one.... thanks."

Elk also knows what his own son did.

I honestly thought Johanna had no choice but to say no.

But still, this is how he took on a solid escort, so there's only one word of gratitude.

Such an elk's words of gratitude would have erased the slight but lingering pangs to Rhodos. Johanna smiles back at such an elk.

Most of all, no matter what Rodos did to Johanna, I didn't think he could beat Ray.

I guess that's why the pan against Rhodos that was in Johanna was small.

For the former guerrillas, starting with Johanna, Ray was the most powerful symbol.

He personally burned the enemy army against him and even beat the Rank S Adventurer.... but Ray hasn't admitted to beating the noise.

"Ah, if you say so, Mr. Ray. Reward for this request...... you can expect it, right? Anything like giving Mileyne the right to have a great day with Seto."

Rivals...... No, I remember what a natural enemy was proudly saying to himself in the sense of an enemy given by heaven.

That right hasn't been used yet because of what happened to Vihera... but on the contrary, it also means that every time I see you, Mileyne will be proud of you for that matter.

When can it be amazing, how can it be amazing... as Johanna they say every time I see her, naturally it wasn't funny.

"Okay. I'll give you the right to have a great day with Seto too. The others should talk to you."

That's what Ray said, and he reached for the skewer.
