"Hmmm... hmm...?
Ray woke up asleep in bed as the morning sun poured out the window.
But now I look around like I have no idea where I am.
It was Ray tilting his neck just a little to an unrecognizable place, but he still sleeps nearly half way through his head, or he stops moving.
When this is being requested or on the battlefield... or if there is something like killing, you will wake up in an instant.
But Ray is the only one in this room right now.
That's why no one blamed or cautioned Ray, even if he stayed half asleep.
It's been about enough as it is...... eventually Ray's head finally clears up.
And Ray remembers where he is.
"Oh well. That said, I was in the dungeon."
When I remember that I came to the dungeon to regain the consciousness of Vihera and Rodos and defeated the silver lion of the boss monster at the bottom, I gently reached for my ribs.
A blow over a dragon robe in a battle with a silver lion, a place that didn't even go to fracture but was experiencing blunt pain.
Fortunately, the pain has already completely disappeared as a result of sleeping overnight.
I guess it was possible because Ray's body was originally highly resilient.
Be comfortable with that, and get up to speed.
Looking out the window, the sun had already appeared completely.
When I took my pocket watch out of Mystering with that in mind that it was not a very good time to call it morning, it was already close to 10: 00 AM when it was displayed there.
If it was time to be in Japan, it would have been time to say it was still morning, but in this world we basically wake up earlier than when we were in Japan.
... naturally. Light magic items are not as cheap as ordinary people can buy, but they can still buy as many as they like.
That's why it was common for me to sleep early at night and get up early in the morning.
It's after 10 a.m. in such a life, so maybe I can say it's close to noon as Ray's feeling.
"There's still nothing to do in a hurry."
If this stayed unconscious Vihera might not have been able to afford to say that.
But Vihera is already awake.
Besides, I was incredibly healthy that I had been unconscious for nearly two months.
"... oh, I see. I knew I was worried about Vihera."
I guess I haven't slept this far in a long time because I was relieved to get rid of the Vihera thing I was worried about, and Ray, who decided so, smiles bitterly at his clarity.
When I went outside my bedroom, I felt uncomfortable.
When you look around to see what causes discomfort, you immediately understand.
There's no sign of anyone.
This room has a room that is as generous as a living room, and is shaped to last from there to each of the two bedrooms.
But right now there's no sign of anyone in this room, including the bedroom.
"What happened to Elk and Rodos?... That said, you said you were leaving today. You're home already?
I thought I might have had a word with myself if I was going home, Ray... but I discover a piece of paper on a table in the living room.
There it was, the elk letters.
I tried to wake Ray up a few times before I left, but he didn't wake up at all, so when I leave like this, it says so briefly.
That, and the last words of gratitude for being able to regain Rodos' consciousness, were written again.
"Uh... you were really out of your mind. I didn't think you slept well enough to stay awake."
When Elk understands that he tried to wake himself, he puts the written letter back on the table.
If Elk really had tried to wake him up without choosing the means, that would have made Ray jump if it had sparked killing.
But Elk decided he didn't need to go that far and left a letter like this.
It was just a little bit of a reflection on my current distraction Ray, but I leave the room once in a while deciding it would be good.
As it was headed, the dining room.
I decided to have breakfast for now.
Or a little early for lunch.
Anyway, I thought there was no one in the dining room just at this hour... and for some unexpected reason there were a lot of guests in the dining room.
"Yeah?... oh"
Why are you here at this hour? And I questioned Ray, but if I looked around the dining room, I knew immediately why.
I guess I won't let it get in my way. Because there were three eye-catching beauties at the edge of the dining room.
There are also women who are inferior to the three beautiful women, but still look good enough if you think about them in a general sense, or the appearance of a little black dragon.
Whatever it takes to get noticed from the surroundings. That group, however, is too heterogeneous for anyone to be trying to speak to.
Maybe because someone knows who those people are... the Duke's Lady with the alias of the Princess General, Guildmaster of the Guild, and the former royal family of the Vestian Empire.
(No, are the previous two less likely to be known about Vihera anyway)
Originally, Vihera rarely goes to official events as a royal family, and runs through the Bestian Empire several years ago.
Few of them would have that information themselves, and it would be quite unlikely that those who knew the face of Vihella, even if they had it, would be in the dungeon, not in the Guild, of the Kingdom of Mireana...... it would also be on the border.
Still, it was enough to get people's attention just because of the appearance, regardless of Vihella's circumstances.
(I figured I owed it to Elaine and Marina for not having the guy over)
The seats in the dining room are mostly buried, but I don't see anyone actually talking to Elaine and the others.
No, maybe I was there at first, but at least I didn't see that anywhere now.
In a kind of different atmosphere... Ray doesn't look particularly concerned and heads to the seat where Elaine and the others are sitting.
A gaze that sees no fate from those sitting around him turns to Ray, but Ray doesn't seem to care about that gaze either.
And naturally, Elaine and the others also notice the presence of Ray approaching... the next moment, the surrounding guests, who thought they could be slashed away with words, would suspect their eyes.
"Ray, you were a long time late today. I thought you'd wake up a little sooner."
Because Elaine smiled and spoke to Ray as she scratched up her golden hair.
Also, Elaine isn't the only one with a grin. Those around me have found that Marina and Vihera also have a delightful grin from the bottom of their hearts, and although they are not as good as the other three about Ara, it is no different to having a grin.
"Cucum! Cum!
And the yellow, who was eating a sandwich on the table, also sounds happy when he sees Ray.
No, it wasn't just that. I kicked the table, desperately moved the little wings, and jumped into Ray.
"Hey, what's up? You're so sweet today. If you want to play with Seto, you can go to the stables, okay?
I tell him so, enjoying the touch of cold, hard scales as he strokes the yellow.
Are you listening to Ray like that, or are you not there? Either way, did the yellow satisfy Ray enough to stroke him, or when he kicked Ray and went back to the table, he stuck his little fangs up to the near-eating sandwich.
Ray smiles at how such a yellow thing looks and sits at the table where Elaine and the others are sitting.
"So, why did you sleep?
Vihera asks Ray again, who did not answer Elaine's words.
"You can say why I slept with you. I had a lot of trouble yesterday. You must have been really tired."
I didn't say I was relieved about Vihera, and I guess it was from the illumination that I was so deluded.
Most of all, that's never wrong.
The battle against the Silver Lion was one of the highest battles Ray has ever experienced.
It is a fact that with the help of a large number of people, including Elk, we finally succeeded in defeating them, but they were still quite close to the limit.
Powerful defense is very troublesome... that's one thing that reminded Ray.
Besides, according to what Grimm told me, there are still many other things called silver lions, so it was enough for Ray to want to be able to defeat them alone someday.
(The material... Fortunately most of it was given to me, so the next time I defeat the Silver Lion, I'll split the material between Elaine and the others)
I was going to thank you for more than just giving away most of the material.
Think of it as the utmost gratitude you can get.
Ray opens his mouth after appropriately ordering breakfast from the employee who came to pick up the order.
"So I didn't see Elk and Rodos in my room anymore..."
"Oh, the elks would have left earlier this morning. You want to give Rodos a rest in the guild a little bit sooner."
"I know that. There was a note from the elk in the room.... I would have liked to drop you off if I could. He didn't wake up at all when Elk spoke softly."
"... the fact that Elk didn't wake up when he called me doesn't taste good as an adventurer, does it?
"I think so a little bit, too."
Return words to Vihera, for the breakfast that has been carried… stretch the fork to it in great quantities.
Only a luxury inn would taste good enough if you tasted it normally.
I know that, but if I still remember the taste of a dish made with the meat of a silver lion I ate the day before, I really feel like I'm missing something.
... I guess I could have seen Ray's attitude like that and predicted what he was thinking. Elaine and the others all four smile the same way when Ara goes with them.
It was Elaine who opened her mouth on behalf of me.
"The food here doesn't taste bad either. No, you can say it's delicious. But... that's not enough."
"... you know what I mean?
"Naturally. The lack Ray is feeling right now is that everyone here..."
So once the words were stopped, Elaine finished eating a sandwich on the table, and there was a new figure of a yellow poking her fangs into the stir-fry of the remaining meat.
Its happily waving its tail doesn't seem like a dragon breed child who is said to stand at the apex of a monster very much.
Yellow, of course, is created by Elaine in dragon-language magic, not as a true dragon.
"Because it's common to everyone except the yellow ones."
"Cu?"
You must have noticed that your name was called. Yellow tilts her little neck and turns her gaze toward Elaine.
With a stroke of such a yellow head, wouldn't you? and Elaine gazing at Ray.
Ray flaunts his shoulders small to such Elaine and shows with attitude that she is right.
"The food in this shop should be delicious enough."
I fully understood that the first time I stayed at this inn yesterday and yesterday and ate.
But now I remember the taste of the silver lion dish I ate yesterday, and I really compare it to that.
I would say the harm of too delicious a dish......
No, should we call it the detriment of ingredients that are too delicious in this case, than the owner of the Oak's simmering pavilion could not yet find a cooking method that would take advantage of the meat properties of silver lions?
"Right.... Well, still forget all that flavor. No, Ray's got a lot of silver lion meat, so I'm worried about the area."
"Back in the gilm, when Johanna and the others get back, I can't eat much, considering I need to behave meat, though."
"Um... It was that big of a body, wasn't it? Isn't that what you say you can't eat if you're normal?
Vihera, who was listening to Ray and Elaine's conversation, tells her as if she had been spooked somewhere.
Six meters long... except for the tail, it's a silver lion four meters long. The amount of that meat, if normal, is very one or two… in this case Ceto, so should we call it one and one?
Regardless, Ray and Seto are not the only ones who can eat it.... normally, though.
If you know Ray and Seto's appetite, that's when the meat of the silver lion will be gone after a few days.
No wonder some people think so.
No, it was natural.
"... than that, what do we do today? I thought you were leaving already?
Ray, who somehow felt the flow of the conversation was unfavourable to him, missed the point… especially since everyone decided that there was no need to stay here any longer, and eventually decided to return to the Guild lightly.
