Legend

Rather than confirming the skills of absorption and terrain manipulation of the demonic stones of the silver lion... a few days from the day there was the snow play of Seto... Ray's appearance was in front of the shoe shop he had previously come to.

Next to Ray, there is also Seto's appearance, as usual.

The day that Miraine and Johanna went to is over, but some of the city's residents who saw it told Ray they wanted to hang out with Seto, so there was also a meeting with Seto in the backyard near the wheat pavilion stables at dusk. But that's over now too.

No, that means Ray's going to the shoe store to be exact, and Seto wanted to go with Ray, and it ended naturally.

"Wait here for a minute. 'Cause I don't think it's gonna take long."

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto honestly sounds and rolls to sleep near the shoe store.

The snow had been falling intermittently since Ray had previously come to the shoe store and was now quite accumulating.

It is already a season to be called winter entirely, and the adventurers have mostly left their bodies to rest during the bundle, except for those who were unable to save funds over the winter.

For this reason, in places such as cafeterias and liquors, it was precisely the time of year that we could call the best time to earn money.

Ray strokes Seto for the last time before entering the shoe store.

"There you are.... oh, Ray. I have my shoes ready. Just give me a minute."

When the clerk sees Ray, he goes into the back of the store with a voice like that.

Ray just drops off a quick story before he says anything.

I actually came to pick up my shoes today, so the clerk's attitude is never a mistake.

But still, I guess I could have listened to myself for a little while and then moved.

That's what I was thinking, but soon I decided it wasn't about getting that angry, and I sit in the chair.

There were a number of shoes lined up around them, just like when they came a few days ago.

(When I try this, it feels like I came to the shoe store after all...)

Waiting around looking at the shoes, eventually a craftsman man comes from the back of the store saying he's the clerk's father.

Looking stubborn as ever from Ray's eyes, this fit the image of a craftsman no further.

And what the artisan man has in his hand are separate shoes, one foot at a time.

Shoes usually worn throughout the city and iron plated shoes used when acting as adventurers.

"Yeah? I think I asked you to do it with ten pairs each?

"Oh, yeah. But all the shoes are made just like this. Put on these shoes, and if you don't have a problem with them, you'll be fine."

Blurring, Ray also knew enough to hear that the word was confident in his work.

That's why I change my shoes without being particularly dissatisfied with the word.

"Heh..."

In the comfort of those shoes, it was an exclamation that came out of Ray's mouth.

Aside from Azimov's shoes, which are obviously bigger than my own, they were clearly above me in terms of comfort compared to the shoes I had previously purchased from this shoe store.

If you put on shoes that fit your foot again this way, you will know exactly how precious a pair of Slapenil shoes prepared for you was.

(I mean, how did you get the Slapenil shoes that Elaine is wearing? If it doesn't fit my legs, it sounds like a lot of trouble)

That kind of question comes to mind, but I thought I should ask later when I used the pair of orbs, and walk lightly through the store with my shoes on.

I guess it's built to keep my legs from straining me when I walk. The feel of your feet touching the ground is considerably less than the shoes you wore until earlier.

"What do you say?

"Yeah, I can't say anything because I just wore it, but I don't think it's probably a problem"

"... well. For once, if anything goes wrong with those shoes, come on. Adjust again.... over here next"

The next thing I was given was a shoe with an iron plate to wear when working as an adventurer.

Naturally this one can be worn as well as the first shoe without any problems at all.

I don't know how you made it, but the first shoe Ray wore doesn't seem to weigh that much.

It would be weird if it weren't heavier than using an iron plate.

Ray tilted his neck at it, but he remained as unfathomable as ever, pointing the inquiring gaze at the artisan man, and there's no way he's going to return the word.

Determining it would be useless to ask, Ray nods and opens his mouth small when he decides that these shoes are never bad for him.

"Yeah, there's no problem over here either. Can be used normally"

"... well. If you feel uncomfortable using those shoes too, bring them. I'll tweak it again."

That's all I tell you, I just get up from the spot and go back to the back of the store, not saying I've done my errands already.

Are you still satisfied with your work, or is it this artisan manly act that had a smile in his unfathomable face that only slightly bends the edges of his lips?

"All right, then give me a minute. I'll bring the rest of your shoes soon."

That's what the clerk man tells him, and he heads to the back of the store to follow his father.

Ray switches to shoes for those without iron plates and again sees how the shoes are doing.

While doing that, eventually a merchant from behind the store brings the rest of his shoes and gives them to Ray.

"Now we have a deal. If anything happens again, say hello."

Nodding at the words, he leaves the store storing the shoes he was given, the shoes with the first iron plate, and the shoes he wore until today, inside the mistering.

The charges were quite high, but it still seemed to Ray well worth the amount.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

What Ray saw when he heard Seto squeal and pointed his gaze at you was the sight that Mileyne was feeding Seto a sandwich.

But Ray is not particularly surprised to see the sight.

In the first place, it is not an uncommon sight for those who live in Gilm to feed Seto, and on top of that, Mireine, the leader of Seto enthusiasts - Johanna would say dissenting - is there, because it is not an uncommon story.

(With that said, Marca was tough last winter when Mileyne was playing with Seto.... Maybe he won't come or go again this year?

Ray looks around once and for all, remembering his cliche counterpart that

Could it be... it was an act from that thought, but there is naturally no sign of Marka there.

I approach Seto and Mileine with a subtle feeling of loneliness that appeases me about it.

"Ceto, Mileine"

"... Ah, Ray. Are you back yet? I wish I'd been playing with Seto a little more."

Miraine, too, probably knew that Ray was approaching from Seto's squeal.

But still, it was Milaine's honest thought that she wanted to play with Seto for as long as she could.

"Do you want to follow it anyway, because we're gonna walk around the city a little bit?

"Huh? Really!? I just wanted to say..."

In Ray's words, Mileyne seems sorry... that's what gives her a look that she understands as sorry from the bottom of her heart.

"Actually, you're promising to two people, Sulnin and Ekril. There's no way I'm gonna leave those two alone and play with Seto."

"... heh"

In Miraine's words, Ray gives a slightly unexpected look.

Because it's definitely about Mileine, so I thought I'd ignore her as much as I'd meet the sulnins and choose who's with Seto.

But what Mileyne chose was to prioritize the sulnins.

Ceto enthusiast...... no, considering Mileyne's character deserves to be called Ceto First, that was amazing enough for Ray to have a surprise look on his face as well.

"You have no choice. Next time I'm late for Seto, he says he's gonna punish me for everything."

"Uh... yeah. You know what?"

I didn't choose to move on from myself, but because I'm afraid of Sulnin's punishment.

(Well, isn't that impossible)

He was usually a big man, or a sulnine with an adult personality, but I guess it scares me when I just piss him off.

It was often said that it was scary to piss off a lovely opponent, but Sulnin fits exactly in with it.

(Besides, Sulnin only knows Mileyne's character, and if he were to punish Mileyne, he would most likely punish Seto related)

I was just partying with Mileyne, and naturally Sulnin had a good understanding of Mileyne's character.

That's as much as I suspect you understand than Mileyne herself if you do poorly.

"Bye, Seto. We'll play again. 'Cause I had a great day the other day, and I'm gonna look for some good food."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Miraine's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Stroking such a ceto, Ray walks out of the city with Ceto when he drops off Mileyne, who seemingly leaves with regret.

"Gru?"

Ray opens his mouth as he gently strokes Seto, who squeals as he looks at Ray's shoes.

"These shoes are the ones I'm wearing until the Slapenil shoes are fortified. You were wearing another pair of shoes until earlier, weren't you?

"Gru......"

I guess Ray is looking a little strange for Seto, who basically doesn't wear or wear things like shoes and clothes.

(Thinking about it, is Seto actually naked every day?... If Miraine or Johanna hears about it, you're going to have a nosebleed and fall)

Or if your body hair is a substitute for your clothes... and walking down the boulevard thinking about not letting go, you can smell it inadvertently good from the front... it smells like stirring your appetite.

"Oh, that smells good.... you want to eat a little?

"Gru!"

Seto was happy to get used to Ray's words and headed straight to the stall.

"... so, if it's true, I was gonna keep coming back to the inn for fun and take my time in my room"

"I'm sorry, but I've been waiting a long time for Ray to make contact."

Ray, who enjoyed the soup full of ingredients with Seto, returned to the wheat pavilion at dusk... and was called out by the person in front of him at the reception.

A person in his thirties or so who deserves to be described as fat rather than having piercing locks.

You can also say that you are taller than Ray but still smaller when viewed on average in this world.

I'm laughing with my mouth, but that person, not laughing at all behind my eyes, talks to Ray as he creates a tone that looks like he's in a good mood.

The reason Ray grows up in front of such a person would be because of the gamelion dishes on the table.

Braised, baked, steamed… Various dishes were arranged all over the table.

Of course this dish was not ordered by Ray, but by the person in front of him.

I've been eating Kusa's soup at the stall, Ray, but naturally I still have room for my stomach.

That's to the point where you can eat all the dishes in front of you.

"So, what were you waiting for the day you could make contact with me?

"Yeah. Actually, my name is Tris, and I'm a merchant with a Chamber of Commerce called the Spiel Chamber of Commerce"

"... oh"

Ray also somehow understood that Tris in front of him was a merchant.

To call me an adventurer is because my body was relaxed.

There was a possibility that he might be a nobleman, but that too disappeared in a word now.

"So, what do you want from me, a merchant from the Spiel Chamber of Commerce? So far, I don't have business with merchants."

"Yes, I don't think it's a bad idea to imitate that you let Mr. Ray take the time... I had a lot of errands here too"

Ray turns his gaze to encourage Tris to continue the story as he tells him with a grin.

... but I also know why Ray somehow came to the man in front of him.

Rather than that, it was still about the silver lion that was the most likely reason for Ray that a merchant would bother to visit himself.

If I'm not bored wasting my time here, I'll mouth that prediction as I reach for Gamellion skewers.

About the silver lion.

"That's right.... What do you think? Silver lion material that Mr. Ray has. Why don't you sell it to us?

"Unfortunately, I'm not going to do that at the moment"

Ray instantly shook his head sideways against Tris' words.

Many other merchants had come, but they were shaking their heads sideways on all of them.

More than that, I didn't mean to sell the material to the person in front of me... at all.

"Really?... So you have no choice. Call me if you change your mind again."

"Huh?"

I was wondering if we were going to negotiate from here on out, but when Tris said so, he said the errand was done, and he took a seat.

Unexpectedly, Ray just had to shut up and drop off Tris leaving.
