Legend

When Johanna and the others decide to be temporarily hired by the Rays, they don't have to do it until the marina returns, and each starts eating.

Eat the food ordered, blossom into the story, and drink - except Ray, but - the liquor.

Naturally, that would eliminate the kind of tension that drifted around us until a short while ago.

On the contrary, everyone laughs and talks to each of them to cheer them up.

Especially popular was, naturally, Elk, not Elaine......

Some of Johanna's fellow men naturally wanted to talk to Elaine.

But it can't be easier to talk to Elaine, who has the same beauty as Vihera.

Aside from beauty, there are still various frightenings about the alias of General Princess if she is also from the Bestian Empire.

… while still, this one is able to speak normally to elks with the same aliases as Ray and Elaine.

Man to man, so I guess it's big.

"So Min wiped out the magic that Warwolf was attacking in a group."

Elk also goes on to say in a good mood that there has been an eye for the treatment of Rhodos.

The others seemed delighted and amused by the ease of such an elk.

"Sounds like a lot of excitement."

It was Marina who had come to the liquor store at some point after her conversation with the Alliance Master who had voiced such a line.

I was talking clerically about myself...... and groan somewhere envious.

"Oh, marina. Are you back? Enough talking?

Marina nods with a small grin at Ray, who asks while eating a stew full of meat.

"Yeah, I've been following up on this one. I've heard a lot about the recent dungeon reports.... Looks a lot better than I expected. That was unexpected luck."

"... yeah? What is it?

Ray gives a slightly strange look to the words of a meaningful marina.

But in contrast to Ray like that, Marina sits in the chair next to Ray without saying anything but a smile that makes the woman feel glossy.

Elaine on the right, Marina on the left.... and the sight that the word Hua fits any better in both hands, it won't.

"Kind of."

Marina telling you to mislead something.

But Ray decides it has something to do with the Guild's confidentiality, and no further pursuit.

Behind such a marina, Elaine, who was eating a vegetable and ham sandwich next to Ray, opens her mouth a little strangely.

"Are you up to something?

"Well, how can I captivate Ray?

Marina with a grin as if even a woman would be fascinated.

To such a marina laugh, Johanna's companions, who were talking to Elk... and the other men who were watching the Rays at the tavern... on the contrary, even the women are blinded.

Unlike when we're talking about silver lions, Johanna's people aren't giving us the same atmosphere now that they reject their surroundings.

I guess that's why I could afford to gaze at the marina this way.

"Oh? What is it?

To the marina, who asks with a funny grin, the people around them all turn their cheeks red and look away in a different way than they are drunk.

Normally, if there are beauties like Elaine and Marina, it's not surprising that there are those who get involved... those who are in the taverns and guilds, and no one who gets involved with the Rays.

Ray, Elaine, Marina, Elk... because people who don't know all of this just don't exist.

If everyone was eating in separate seats, maybe one or two people who didn't know their faces would have been involved.

But with all the famous places, I'm sure you know someone's face.

Naturally, the most commonly known face is elk.

"Is that meat caught in the dungeon? This dish is delicious."

"Oh, yeah. The dungeon also has a forest hierarchy, and the water monkey that comes out of it is the meat of a monster."

Ray, who heard a leak in conversation between Elk and Johanna's buddies, exchanges his gaze with neighbor Elaine.

It's bitter to be in each other's mouths.

When I dived into this dungeon before, I guess I remembered being attacked by a ton of water monkeys.

"You had a hard time then."

"Oh. Thanks to Ray I managed... but the fact that they serve water monkey meat dishes in the guild means there are adventurers fighting that group"

"Honestly, I don't want to fight that monster anymore"

Ray reminds me of the time as a smudge, and Elaine admires the adventurer who gets water monkey meat, and Arla gives me a fed up look remembering the time.

I guess it means that when I dived into the dungeon before, there were all sorts of hard events, but at the same time it was never the only one.... whether or not the water monkey fits into it.

Raided and driven away by water monkeys like you could describe them as countless...... not a very interesting memory, although we managed eventually.

Still, considering it was a request that gave me reason to meet Elaine, it was never a bad one.

... but at the end of the request, I got a big ass.

"But didn't Ray take the water monkey meat? Well, I don't think you'd be surprised so far."

Turning his gaze to Ray's mistering, Elaine asks.

Understand what you want to say to such Elaine's gaze, and Ray nods back.

"Oh, he's still in there. It's just... I tried it a little before, but it didn't taste that good.... didn't get very much like this simmer"

Despite being well simmered, the moderate bite pleases the texture.

Then, after chewing for a while, I can thoroughly enjoy the taste of the meat but dissolve it in my mouth.

Exactly, meat! Its stewed dishes, which feel full, are not so strange to just taste this dish instead of eating it as a pinch of liquor in a tavern.

"Oh, I knew Mr. Ray would agree? As a matter of fact, we tried everything when we defeated the water monkey in the dungeon... but it really doesn't taste so good."

Johanna, who was listening to Ray, squeaks in dissatisfaction.

However, that dissatisfaction was mixed with dissatisfaction with not being able to see Seto besides cooking.

At the end of the conversation, Johanna tried to leave the guild when the banquet was about to begin.

Naturally its destination is the stables of the Inn where the Rays are staying….

But Ray stopped me because I'd see him tomorrow.

Johanna wants to see you tomorrow or not.

There was no way he noticed Johanna's attitude like that, and Ray opens his mouth as he reaches for the dish.

"This must be purely the cook's arm"

"... I guess so. But anyway, if it's a big city like Gilm or something, why is there such an armed cook in a place like this?

It was Marina who was talking to Ara who answered Johanna's words tilting her neck.

Is it because you're an Alliance Master that you figured out why there are skilled cooks here, or did you simply hear it from someone else?

Either way, the marina opens her mouth to Johanna, who is wondering.

'Cause this is the dungeon.'

"Because it's a dungeon?

"Yep. It's a dungeon, so it's all kinds of ingredients...... no, in this case I guess I should say ingredients. They are readily available. This is a great place to train people in cooking."

"... I see"

If you ask me, it was agreeable.

Being able to cook using the scarce ingredients you can get from a dungeon can also be said to be the privilege of a cook working where the dungeon is located.

"But even if you brush your arms here, the materials you can get in the dungeon... you won't get the ingredients if they're elsewhere, and they won't do much good, will they?

One of Johanna's associates asks to the marina.

... Seriously though, the man had his gaze on the wide open marina's chest over and over again.

Despite that gaze, Marina smiles and opens her mouth.

"Perhaps you are. But being able to cook several dishes is a valuable skill for a cook. Going elsewhere may not help, but maybe it will."

"That's what it is...?

He didn't really understand Marina's words to the man who lives as an adventurer.

To the man who tilts his neck, Marina snorts back with a grin that's what it is.

The man didn't understand it, but if he told me that's what cooks are for, it was also true that I had to convince him.

So awesome time for everyone to eat and drink for a while...... eventually Ray opens his mouth where the food is also running out.

"So what's too much noise here to affect tomorrow, and it's time to break it up around here?... Johanna, come in front of the dungeon when the 9: 00 a.m. bell rings tomorrow"

"Huh? Well, that's a lot slower. It takes a lot of time to get to the bottom level where the silver lion is, doesn't it? … so this goes without saying to Ray"

I've been to the lowest level before, Ray.

I should have known full well how long it would take to get there.

But then why... and Johanna gets confused.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow."

I talked about getting to know Grimm, but Ray, who decided it would be better not to talk about what that Grimm is capable of right now on this occasion, clouds the word.

When I cut out about Grimm, Johanna's people were watching my surroundings, but now it wasn't the status quo where everyone could drink and eat and tell a secret story.

Anyway, it was true that meeting Johanna and the others in this tavern made me feel better in a good way.

"Tomorrow... when Vihera's consciousness returns, shall we make a grand noise"

"Oh, that's good. Master Vihella will be delighted. Uh, so naturally Seto will be with you then... right?

"Right."

I guess it's because I wasn't there when I came to the guild today. Ray naturally nods at Johanna's pleading gaze.

We all make a scene, so naturally there will be Seto.

(However, do I have to rent out some store or something when I do? That's a big store, too.)

I need a store where Seto can at least get inside the store, but it was doubtful if I could find it.

If this is spring or summer...... or if it's just autumn, you can have a banquet outside, but it's pretty cold out now.

It's still somewhat warm during the day, but in the evening or so, it's impossible to imitate a banquet outside.

No, Ray has a dragon robe, so that's the only thing wrong with having a banquet outside in the winter, and Seto does the same.

But many others would freeze to death in the worst case if they were to banquet badly outside.

Most of them may be too worried about frozen death than they are adventurers.

"Oh, then I'll look for a good store. It's been a long time since I've been here."

"Well, then, please"

Ray had also been here before to dive into the dungeons here, but at that time he could barely afford to look around the shops here.

Purely because he came diving in the dungeon and left as soon as he finished his inheritance ritual there.

... If betrayal hadn't happened and the ritual of inheritance had ended without a thing, I might have had some leeway to celebrate in some store or buy souvenirs since I got back on the ground.

Also, this place has developed more overwhelmingly than before when Ray came.

That's so much for Ray to wonder if it's a completely different place.

"Yeah. I'll take care of it. Seto will be delighted... and for the first time in a long time, I will try to plan a feast that will surprise Lady Vihella."

"... right, do it"

I guess that's why Johanna is Johanna around Seto's name coming forward over Vihera.

"Right. To surprise Vihella... you'll never fail tomorrow, will you?

Ray and Johanna snorted back when Marina, who was listening to Ray and Johanna's conversation, laughed... as glossy as usual, but to the words she groaned with determination in their gloss... and those who were hearing Marina's voice.
