Legend

The snowy barbecue party was much busier than Ray had expected.

This mansion where Johanna and the others live is not meant to be an aristocratic city.

It's a place where some rich people live, but it's also usually about neighborhood dating and stuff.

In such a situation, more people were naturally concerned if they were having a noisy party like this, and some came to see how things were going.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you serious?

"But you smell so good, don't you? Look, I'm baking over there."

"Right.... I'm hungry, and don't you want to go get something to eat?

While a few people were talking that way, I guess some of them who were at the party in the courtyard noticed the people in front of the mansion. Coming close with a grin.

"Hello, could it have been a little loud?

When one of Johanna's fellow men tells him so, the spokespersons shake their heads beside each other in haste.

"No, no, because that's not true. I was just wondering what you were doing."

"Yes, yes."

Seeing how the others snort at the words, the man smiles again and opens his mouth.

"Really? So why don't you join the party, if that's a good idea? Some celebrities, like Ray, Seto, Elk, Min, Guildmaster, you know?

"Huh? Really!?

I'm surprised the participants at the party were more luxurious than they thought, but still they never attended the party in the end.

In the first place, I'm not invited to this party.

Yet participating in it in a glamorous way is a bad way to hear things.

I guess it's because I understand that that I left even though I felt a little untrained.

"If you're Mr. Ray, I don't think you care much about that."

"You idiot."

One of us was watching the man...... one of the former guerrilla family members who lives in this mansion, a woman who is concerned about her brother's colleague who was talking to a neighbor.

"What a fool... I don't think so"

"You know, it's not normal to go to a party that you haven't even been invited to beforehand?

"Really?

"That's right. More importantly, they still have Gamelion meat, so why don't we eat together?

That's what I told him, the man being pulled into the courtyard.

Still, I wonder? And he had doubts, but the woman was just grinning at an amazing time with the man.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Eating Gamelion's meat, Seto snarls his throat gladly.

There are other monster meats, starting with oak, and to the detriment of vegetables, seafood, fruit...... this party was a great opportunity for Seto to eat as much delicious food as he wanted.

Mireine and Johanna are blinded by such a set of looks.

Even though it's not weird to be arguing around Seto normally, I'm just happy watching Seto now, and there was nothing of interest but the sight in front of me.

"... Hey, those two. Can we just leave it like that?

Who the hell was that that squealed?

But no one answers that as a matter of course.

Because it was obvious that talking to Mileyne and Johanna would not react at all in the present situation.

Or, even if you react to something, that means you've been interrupted for a while with Seto, which is likely to piss you off.

From the side, they were the two people who deserved to be described as glamorous, but in fact, they were adventurers with more strength than they deserved, and there was no way that anyone could have proceeded to imitate them to the detriment of such an opponent's mood.

Not to mention, if it's someone's... or in some way out of the way. Still, yeah. If you're just watching Seto, then you're not bothering someone.

There was no such thing as treading on the tail of a tiger from myself.

"Ha ha ha ha! Hey, congratulations! It's a good day!

"Oh, where did you buy those clothes?... Heh, yeah?

"Hey, hey, I want that meat too!

Such a voice was echoing all over the courtyard.

Exactly what you deserve to call a party, a good time.

Ray looks at the sight with a grin as he eats the sumptuous skewer that he just stabbed the fish in the skewer and waved salt.

Most of the ingredients for this party were provided by Ray.

The liquor is hardly in the mistering because Ray doesn't drink it, but it was prepared by the participants.

… it is not very much in it, if at all, but its use is not for Ray to drink.

It's for disinfection when you get wounded, or when you camp with someone, Ray doesn't drink, but it's something to feed the person you're dining with.

"Whoa, Ray. Thank you for today."

That's what I've been calling Ray, who was watching those who were enjoying the party, was the only person who seemed like a big bandit at first glance.

"Pamidor...... and cumito too.... So, maybe?

I'm with Pamidor, little kid.

That is someone who also looks familiar to Ray and is Pamidor's son Kumito.

That's the guy Ray knows, so there's no problem at all.

But... Ray got stuck in words because there was another person on the spot... a stranger.

Even so, Ray was largely predictable as to who the stranger was.

So while you're at it, I'm convinced that the person is... no, it's hard to understand.

To Ray, who asks with complicated feelings, Pamidor opens his mouth imitating that he seems to illuminate that vicious face.

"That was the first time for Ray. This guy is a sofa. My... well, they're with me."

The person, introduced to him as a sofa, bows his head with a soft grin.

"Nice to meet you, I'm called a sofa. My husband and son always seem to take care of me."

Some of the people who were sneaking around not just Ray but watching how he was doing had a startling look at the woman's words, who named her a sofa.

... but I guess that's natural too.

Because Sofan was a small person with an atmosphere of fluffy, soft warmth.

That's what you could be convinced of if you told me you were Pamidor's daughter, that's what you look like.

"You're lying!? The wife of such a vicious man is such a cute person!?

"Hey, somebody get a guard! It's a case, we got a case!

"Wait, wait a minute. The fact that a person is a wife means that the child..."

"Hey, somebody get me a knight! Murderer, there's a murderer out there!

"Mm-hmm. Here!

I guess the words I like to be spoken around got into Pamidor's ear as well. Even the vicious face screams to the surrounding area as it becomes more insane.

And those who are cried out turn away from sight simultaneously.

"Hehe."

Seeing Pamidor like that, Sofan makes a quiet laugh.

"Damn... this is why bringing you here is not going to be any fun"

"Oh, yeah? I'm glad to be at the party with you, though? This is how I've been able to meet Ray, who I've only heard so far."

He was a sofa with a grin as he looked at Ray, but when he saw it, Pamidor opened his mouth like he was just a little panicked.

"Hey, wait. Don't be weird, all right?

"Oh, is that strange? What is it? Always praise Ray..."

"Sofan! Look, Kumito's about to get bored. Why don't you come around with me for a little while?

"Oh. Ugh. Kumito, why don't we take a look around the party venue with your mom for a little while?

"Yeah! I'm hungry!

Kumito replies well to Sofan's voice.

That's how I exhale relief to my own wife, who pulls Kumito's hand away.

I suddenly wondered what they were going to say.

But... the actions of Pamidor are not hidden from those who, naturally, watched what was going on around them.

"... oh?

I stare in frustration and confusion at the gaze being directed from around me.

Even Pamidor, who has a frantic face, will not be able to turn his gaze properly if he gets a frantic look.

Softly distracted from his gaze, he nodded in a grumpy manner, and then again, Pamidor turned his gaze to Ray.

But Ray, who was gazed at, also makes me frown when I see him put up with a laugh.

"Hey, Ray."

"Ah, oh. Bad. Kind of.... I've never seen you before, but you sound like a good guy"

"Yeah? Sort of."

It was Pamidor who blurted back the words, but still the slightest smile on his mouth is probably proof that Pamidor is a loving wife.

As we speak for a few minutes, Pamidor inadvertently changes the subject.

"With that said, I'm talking about attacking the dungeon... I'm not saying silver lion, but any other good monster material?

"Uh... no. After entering the dungeon, we went straight to the bottom without fighting any other monsters."

"Huh? Still, monsters are coming at us, aren't they? I don't think they're going to miss it because they're not going to fight."

"There's, well, there's a lot going on around here."

"... I see. Would an adventurer ever say that to his advantage?"

"Think so."

Thanks precisely to Grimm, I arrived at the bottom of the line in an instant, but there's no way I can speak of it.

Besides, I'm pretty sure the connection to Grimm is also advantageous to me, so I wasn't necessarily lying.

"Ray!"

It was Ray talking to Pamidor, but that voice was hung from behind him... I'm surprised to see Azimov before I turned around.

I talked about this party once, and I asked her out... but still, because I thought she probably wouldn't come to the party and focus on improving Slapenil's shoes.

Given Azimov's pouring into alchemy, it was more surprising to come here at Ning Lo.

Azimov comes to Ray's side with a stab skewer of gamelion and vegetables in his hand and carries it to his mouth.

I thought I'd say eating while walking is bad behavior...... but it's an easy party we're having in the courtyard in the first place, so I'll reconsider if I even care that much.

"You didn't expect Azimov to come out to this hand party. I just thought I was concentrating on Slapenil's shoes."

"Oh, of course."

"Yeah?"

Ray tilts his neck at Azimov's words, which he has confidently told Ray's words for some reason.

"Then why are you here?

"Now I'm just drying out the ingredients extracted from the silver lion's gut by applying them to Slapenil's shoes."

"... I see"

Ray couldn't even predict how to enhance Slapenil's shoes, but he just thought he was going to use something more magical.

I'm surprised, but convinced, that's not what removing ingredients from your gut is supposed to be like applying it directly to your shoes...

"For once I ask, that doesn't change the look of Slapenil's shoes in strange directions, let alone weird colors and odors, does it?

When they hear you applied the ingredients extracted from your gut, you can't help but wonder about the area.

Even if the performance of Slapenil's shoes improves, if it smells bad from those shoes, it's not very much but I don't want to wear it.

Depending on the degree of stench, it will also affect monster crusade requests.

(No, does Seto gib up before then)

Even in a vegan state, Ceto has a far sharper sense of smell than a human being, and even more so has the skill of ascending smell.

For Seto like that, the stench was a pretty damaging way to attack.

... I guess it's lucky for Ray and Seto that the others know so little about it.

It was Ray asking with fear in many ways, but Azimov shook his neck sideways towards Ray like that.

"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with that area. It may still smell a little after a few days of drying, but the work is still going on even after I've finished drying what I'm doing, and when I give it to Ray, the area is perfectly fine..."

"Hey."

"No, even if you say so. Using silver lion material is close to making sure it goes one step at a time, okay? It's not that easy."

"Then if you try it first with something else shoes and then do it..."

"I can't do that because of the number of materials. Perhaps... according to my survey, it's fine to fortify Slapenil's shoes once.... Oh, so to speak. Why don't you use the fur of a silver lion to make clothes and trousers? Well, if we're gonna make it, we need to bring in the craftsmen who make the clothes."

Even though he hasn't even finished fortifying Slapenil's shoes yet, Ray was wondering if he should be flattered, praised, or angry at Azimov for mouthing his next idea...
