A few days after talking to Maryo... but Ray had not taken any action against the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.
This is our problem, and it's influenced by being told that Ray's involvement in the detours can be a lot of hassle.
Ray himself understood that he was a celebrity in many ways.
I also understand that this is not something I should be involved in.
Ray wouldn't have shut up either if the Spiel Chamber of Commerce were to give some unreasonable reason and thereby try to absorb Maryo's chamber of commerce under its umbrella, but this case is only a dispute between the chambers of commerce...... which is also, righteous.
If that's the case, I can tell you that Ray sticking his neck in there was an impossible option.
Ray has a good understanding of how powerful he is.
But... that's why I understood that it wasn't something you could swing all you wanted.
If Ray like that says what he's doing now...
"Ah, Mr. Ray. How about this? Ray, you may seem a little grown-up to me, but I think you look pretty good."
"Uh, hey, Kenny. I think it suits Mr. Ray."
For some reason, both Lenora and Kenny were walking down the boulevard looking around the store with all sorts of things.
(Is that a guy called Window Shopping? Well, there's no glass)
What's in the store is a lot of clothes.
However, all of that was used...... so-called vintage clothing was different from window shopping Ray knew.
Essentially, new clothing in Elgin is not something you can rarely buy.
If you are Lenora or Kenny, who are well paid as the guild's receptionist, you can probably buy it if you can't do it somewhat, but only today, you came to an old fashioned store.
(Besides, there are times when I say old clothes are no different than new ones.... how the hell is it in this store?)
Clothing that looks no different than new is naturally more expensive than other clothes.
That's how many times if you suck... there was even something close to a dozen times.
"I was actually looking for a craftsman to make clothes for."
With a small grunt, I tilt my neck wondering why this happened.
A garment made of silver lion fur, proposed to Azimov.
In order to consider that, I wondered if there were any good people at the craftsman making the clothes, and I was going to look around... but along the way, I met Lenora and Kenny, who said I was off today, and we were going to act together in a disintegrating manner.
Besides, Ray doesn't hate Lenora or Kenny either.
No, I could have told you I had a favor.
Ray himself doesn't understand what kind of favor that is.
Still, walking around looking at a lot of shops with the two of them like this was never a bad thing for Ray.
... Although, from the side, Lenora is probably not that many people can recognize Kenny as Kenny, who is swollen.
"Ah, Mr. Ray. Let's go over there next. It sounds like a reputable store that lets you drink delicious herbal tea."
That's what he tells them, and Kenny pulls Ray and takes him to a store a little further away from the old fashion store.
"Hey Kenny. Wait a minute.... Excuse me, Mr. Ray. I haven't been able to hang out with Mr. Ray in a long time, so I shagged him."
Lenora bows her head sorry to Ray for being pulled by Kenny.
"You don't have to worry about it. I was hoping to buy something for my souvenir to Seto, so it's just fine."
Seto's figure of playing snow with the kids near the stables passes Ray's brain.
Seto would have come to visit with us today, but the kids had said they wanted to play with Seto, and it was a different course of action.
Seto was also unsure which way to choose by snow play or hanging out with Ray, but another behavior Ray once told me to play with the kids.
It was Seto who was attracted to snow play, but still acting differently as a result, so I guess that's what Ray thinks, having some souvenirs...
"Seto's souvenir, is it?... With that said, that shop is delicious with dried fruit, so that might be a good idea."
"Yes, yes. It's a little expensive, but that's all it's worth."
To Lenora's words, Kenny, who was pulling Ray's hand, nods in agreement.
"Bread with dried fruit in it? I've had it somewhere before, but it tasted pretty good. I don't think it's that shop."
To the two words, Ray recalls the taste of bread he had before.
Even before coming to Elgin, dried fruit...... bread, mainly refined raisins, had been bought and eaten in supermarkets many times.
But I guess it's still different between mechanically made bread and artisanal bread.
Compared to the bread eaten in Japan, the bread eaten here was higher in terms of taste.
(Well, even in Japan, bread sold in bakeries usually tastes better than bread sold)
The bread, said to be raisin bread, was also one of Ray's favorite foods.
Even after coming to Elgin, bread with dried fruit and nuts was one of Ray's favorites.
"Right. There are many stores that do it, although it is characteristic of some stores to refine various pieces of bread. I hear some of them put vegetable squeeze juice in them and bake bread, right?
"What else has changed... so you've seen some bakery say luxurious meat bread or something before and bake oak meat."
That's what Kenny tells Lenora, for some reason, as she laughs and remembers.
What's so funny? And I doubt it, Ray.
Because for Ray, it's never unusual to wrap ham or bacon in bread, even if you don't have to refine the meat.
In fact, many bakeries sold such bread, and Seto never hated the bread in his hands either.
"Something wrong? I think it's a lot of bread to see."
"No, Mr. Ray. I've never seen bread like that, and I didn't want to eat it if I could."
"... yeah? Don't you want some? What's this all about?
Kenny opens his mouth with a grin at Ray, who looks completely incomprehensible.
"Ray, I think what you're thinking is bread wrapped and cooked in seasoned oak meat, but it's not. The owner did it by squeezing the roasted oak meat and baking the gravy in the bread dough."
"... that's... what do you think?
Instead of wrapping and cooking the meat, condense the gravy into the bread dough.
That's what Ray said, tilting his neck as confused.
I can't say anything about it because I haven't actually eaten it, but Ray still didn't think that bread tasted good.
I wonder if it would make some pretty greasy bread, that's what I think.
Seeing the look on Ray's face like that, Kenny nods when he knows how it feels too.
In fact, the bread was put up for sale to try, but the people who bought it only bought it once because they were interested, and they didn't even look forward to it from next.
With that in mind, it wouldn't be hard to imagine what that bread was like.
The Rays continue to move on while we talk like that and eventually arrive at the desired store.
Herbal teas and snacks are the only main stores, and I don't really look like a man.
Of course not, but the majority of the customers were women.
"Wow..."
The majority of the guests are just women, and Ray squeals unexpectedly.
But he didn't seem to really feel it in person, but Ray on the woman's face would only look like women to each other in some people if he was with Lenora or Kenny like this.
I guess it also affects that Ray is small and wears a dragon robe and can't see the lines of his body.
Naturally, some of our guests are adventurers, or else they recognize Ray as Ray for a variety of reasons.
But now they want to concentrate on their own fun, and there was no one in particular to hang something a little bit on Ray.
"I know herbal tea is popular, but I didn't think I'd have guests like this"
"Like I said, you're famous for bread made with dried fruit as well as herbal tea. … let's sit down."
Guided by the clerk, Ray, Lenora and Kenny sit in a chair.
And ordering a set of herbal tea and dried fruit bread, Kenny finally exhales in relief and takes off some clothes.
Kenny's body, which was swollen, gets a little thinner.
Of course, I can't imitate taking off all my jackets in the store, so as a matter of course, I'm still wearing swelling compared to normal.
"Phew, it's nice to be warm after all.... I wish it would keep the whole thing warm in the guild anyway"
"Um, hey, how much magic items do you need to imitate like that? And you need to physically cover the city, not the border."
"I know. But there are a lot of people besides me who don't like the cold, so I'm sure a lot of people would agree with that, huh? Hey, Ray, you don't like cold, either, do you?
Ray wonders how he should answer Kenny as he turns away from his gaze.
Of course Ray doesn't like being cold either, but if you're wearing a dragon robe, you don't have to worry about the cold, let alone Ray's body being different from normal people.
Even the cold is a lot stronger than Kenny feels.
... Still, Ray still doesn't like the cold because of his experience when he was in Japan.
Besides, if Ray gets serious, that's what warms the whole guild, which is not by any means impossible.
Given Ray's immense magic and flame-specific attributes, that might have been natural.
Most importantly, it doesn't make it that easy because it encloses the danger of burning the guilds themselves if you do poorly.
If it wasn't like the Great Cold Wave raid, it wouldn't be executed.
"Thank you for waiting, Herbal Tea Set"
When the clerk arrives, he leaves herbal tea and bread in front of the three of them.
Only two bread sizes are large enough to be eaten in one bite, and a little short for Ray.
Eventually he orders some more bread and Ray carries herbal tea to his mouth as he talks to Lenora and Kenny.
The moment I put it in my mouth, the soothing sobriety spreads through my mouth.
That feeling, which seemed similar and different to mint tea, was by no means unpleasant to Ray.
And the next thing I reached out, naturally, was bread with dried fruit from this main - but only for Ray.
I don't know if I was able to enter the store just freshly baked, the bread I touched is hot... but it's still warm enough.
When you stand your teeth, the surface comes into your mouth with a crisp texture, and the aroma of wheat spreads across your mouth… At the next moment the sweet aroma of dried fruit explodes.
And when you chew the bread in your mouth, at the same time as the sweet texture of the wheat, this one also spreads the sweetness of the dried fruit into your mouth.
(Heh)
With the sweetness and texture that spreads through his mouth, Ray realizes that there is not one type of dried fruit that is refined in the bread.
At least two different kinds...... that's about all I could tell on Ray, who doesn't taste that sharp, but I can still understand that this bread is delicious.
I would have liked to buy a lot if I could... I was told at the time of the earlier additional order that the number of pieces I could buy alone was determined, and I had already ordered to that limit.
Considering the souvenir portion to Seto, you can't eat all the bread here, and I feel sorry for you.
"As always, the bread in this store is delicious. And herbal tea."
Kenny eats bread happily and drinks herbal tea.
Lenora was also enjoying tea time with a grin as she nodded at Kenny's words like that.
I guess it's still feminine to like sweet things.... although Ray the man likes sweet stuff enough too.
(Like I remember seeing in something that if I don't drink, I'll be a sweetheart, like I don't... is that it?
And Ray wonders.
In Ray's case, there was a dish that became a pinch of alcohol for dinner, etc. due to the influence of his drunk father when he was in Japan, so I don't drink alcohol, but I like pinch dishes.
There was no particularly disturbing disturbance on this day...... I spent some time talking and enjoying some tea with Lenora and Kenny.
