Legend

"... you can't. I'm sorry about Mr. Marina, but I probably can't."

Tell him so, and the late twenties fox beast woman in front of Ray and Marina bows her head.

"Can't you do anything about it in Cornez?

It was a marina that I would ask, just in case, but the woman called Cornez nodded back when she raised her head.

"Yes. If you're a Rank B monster, it's often brought in quite a bit, so I can manage. Even a Rank A monster will fail a lot but half the material...... no I think we can manage if we can waste more than that. But..."

You can't make clothes out of Rank S Monster materials first.

That's what Cornez tells me.

As one of the highest craftsmen in the Guild, I guess I regret having to turn down the request.

The fox's ears growing from his head were sticking to his head with Petan.

"... yes. Cornez said he was making my dress. That's what I thought."

Marina turns her gaze to her outfit.

What Marina is wearing today is a white party dress that looks as though it's been worn for the winter.

Pure white, reminiscent of fresh snow, envelops the body of a rich marina.

It was the woman called Cornez who made some of the party dresses Marina was wearing, including this party dress.

The party dresses that Marina wears are like magic items that she has worn since she was an adventurer, and some are really just party dresses like she usually wears.

Much of it was collected after Marina jumped out of the settlement and started working as an adventurer, but in the last few years Cornez liked the party dress he made and had it made.

That skill is something that Marina also admits, and I want to make clothes out of silver lion fur, so when Ray asked me to introduce someone to a garment maker, the first thing that came to mind was Cornez.

But if that Cornez also asks me to make clothes out of Rank S Monster material, I can only decide that I can't do it with certainty on my own merit, and thus bow my head.

"It's okay, it's nothing Cornez is bad about this, so don't worry about it. I think I said I couldn't do it."

I guess I have a sense that I said I couldn't do it myself. Marina shook her neck to the side if she didn't care toward Cornez.

But...... it was a great shame, a shame and a humiliation to have to refuse the request, even as a gardener with the highest arms in the Guild.

As you can see from making marina party dresses, and as Cornez thinks for himself, his skill as an artisan is very high.

It's never narcissistic or anything that it's the highest arm in the gilm.

In fact, if the craftsmen in the Guild were told who has the best arm in the Guild, many would say Cornez's name.

"If, still... what happens if you really want me to make clothes out of silver lion material?

Cornez shakes his neck to the side to Ray, who asks on behalf of the marina.

"With my skill, I thought I would definitely waste all my material"

Whatever the low-rank monster material is, Cornez tells me that he can't stand wasting rank S monster material like a silver lion on his lack of skill.

I am confident in my skill, but still don't fall for it.

Ray has a thing for Cornez like that.

Of course that's not a favor between men and women, it's just a favor for Cornez as a garment artisan.

Does Cornez know that, too, and there's no way to say anything in particular about Ray.

"Then the question becomes what to do with the silver lion's fur."

To Marina's whining, Ray nods as he agrees.

"Worst of all, that's what I mean by decorating it as fur..."

"You don't have to do that."

It was a marina that immediately denied Ray's opinion, but Ray also nodded back immediately because he didn't mean to do so either.

It was a common story about the fur of prey obtained in hunting and the stripping and decorating of the head, but there was no question that doing it with silver lion material was unbearable no matter what you thought.

"Because... hey, it was Cornez. I can't make clothes out of silver lion fur right now, but sooner or later... can you ask me if I can do that with more skill? Of course, if there was a silver lion fur left until then,"

If you find a garment artisan with more arms in the dark, ask for them.

In the words of Ray, who tells him so, Cornez stares at Ray with a surprised look on his face.

What is there is not the colour of reproach...... but the colour that reveals the joy of being really good.

Nor is Cornez attracted to the practice of making clothes out of materials from a rank S monster named Silver Lion.

No, Ning Lo. I even absolutely wanted to do this thing myself.

However... there was no way to make Silver Lion material useless in vain due to failure than it was obvious that that was not possible with my current skill.

That's why sooner or later I'm told I'm... and there's no way I'm not happy.

"Yes. I don't know when. But I want to be able to make clothes out of silver lion materials as soon as possible."

"... ok. Then please."

Tell him so, Ray talks to Cornez lightly before leaving the store.

"I'm sorry, Ray. I thought Cornez would be fine with silver lion material."

"No, you don't have to worry about it. In fact, I'm pretty sure this store recommended it, right?

"Yeah, as far as I know, definitely the highest craftsman in the Guild."

That's why it was a hard story to say that in Gilm...... than you can't make silver lion clothes in this store.

Most importantly, Marina doesn't know all the abilities of all the residents in the Guild.

Maybe there's a better garment maker than Cornez, but at least not the marina, and the smartest garment maker I know was Cornez.

"Better yet, I'm sorry you bothered to take the time for me."

"It's okay. I've been busy, and I'm already done, and I don't have anything to do in a hurry."

"... the workers aren't coming yet?

I knew the worker was already here and I was wondering if he was busy with all sorts of things about taking over the Alliance Master, but it was an unexpected word that came out of Marina's mouth.

"Yeah. He said he'd be arriving in the Guild next week or so... looks like there was a lot going on in the dungeon. It took me a long time to take over with the people I sent over there."

More than the worker returns to the guild, naturally, we also need to send the person in charge to the guild outpost in the dungeon.

But it was certain that the area around the dungeon would decline into a not-so-distant future than the Rays attacked the dungeon.

That's why shopkeepers, adventurers, merchants who were dissatisfied with it… and those who otherwise benefited from what should be called dungeon rights turned their dissatisfaction to the Alliance.

The busiest part was handled by the workers, but they still didn't manage everything.

Given the circumstances around it, I guess it's not so strange that workers have been delayed in coming to the Guild.

No, Ning Lo, the worker who managed to handle you in this short time was to be commended.

"When that happens, don't get too busy next week"

"Yes, the workers are competent. It won't take long, will it? And then... well, I think it's time we decided on the name of the party, what do you think?

Asked with his gaze turned, Ray wonders what he should do while turning his abominable gaze to the snow that came down.

For once, it was decided that Ray, Marina, Vihera and Bühne would be partying together, but they couldn't even decide on the name of the party at the Marina's house after all.

"Right. You want me to make up my mind around Seto?

In the backyard of the wheat pavilion at dusk, Ray shrugs as he remembers the children...... and Seto playing with Mileine and Johanna.

To such a ray, the marina turns a frightened glance somewhere.

... Around making a woman feel glossy even in such an act, I guess Marina can say she's guilty.

(Oh, the guy who was in love with the marina fell)

Ray is surprised to see a man walking a little further away slipped into the snow, blinded by the marina.

Despite having other lovers, some have been blinded by marinas in party dresses.

"Ray? What's wrong?

"No, it's nothing.... than that, what do we do now? I didn't think about it because I thought it would take longer."

"... yeah, right. Shall I walk with you for a moment?"

Ray nods to the marina who invites him to do so because he has no objection.

That's how Ray and Marina walk down the boulevard together.

Only in winter, the number of people walking around the city is small compared to other seasons.

Still, the size of the Guild was close to what should be called a city, and even if there were fewer people walking around the city than in other seasons, there were never fewer in number.

Many of them go to the marina with Ray...... look to the marina to be exact.

Sometimes you don't have a ceto or you wear a dragon robe hood, few people recognize Ray as Ray.

Also, many people could recognize marinas as guild masters if they were adventurers, but others could not recognize them as guild masters if they were not adventurers.

And if it stood out, there were many who naturally caught it in their eyes.

... With Seto, you would have recognized Ray as Ray, but for those who can't recognize him, Ray just seems to be bringing this superb beauty named Marina around.

"Hey, sister. Just hang out."

The men who know nothing, naturally, want to give a little bit out if they look at the marina.

A kid like Ray doesn't deserve to have such a good woman, he wants us to come over.

... There's no such thing as naturally not knowing Ray if you're in the Guild, and the guys naturally know about Ray.

Except I've never met him in person, and it's just a rumor.

That's why if Ray had taken Seto, he would have realized who Ray was and would not have tried to imitate him silly.

Mercenaries who came to Gilm just before winter...... not being adventurers was one of the reasons I wasn't familiar with Gilm's adventurer situation.

We are confident in our power and have some strength in fact. Then we don't trust anyone but our own, and we're done in a small community of people.

That's why I'm oblivious to the information...... For those who know about Ray and the marina, the sight reminds me of a child toying with flame ore on the side of a bonfire. But...

"So, when you buy the jewels you sell in that store, you get a ring with the name of the person you're giving away."

"Is that, in the dark, telling you to buy me a ring?

"Not in the dark, frankly."

"... you're quite honest"

"Oh, 'cause Elaine's not even here. This is a good time, isn't it?

Ray and the two Marinas ignore the mercenaries there... that's what keeps the word going as if no one or nothing is really there.

……

Neither did the mercenaries expect to be so beautifully ignored. It's been a few seconds since I've been stunned...

And when they return it to me, they realize they weren't even made fun of them, and they dye their faces red with anger that the kid and the woman made fun of them.

The actions to be taken by such mercenaries in such cases were determined.

He crushed his face, so he tried his best to regain it.

"Wait, wait, wait!

The first man to scream had his fist already gripped, even as he called it off.

Grab Ray's right shoulder and turn around forcefully...... whether the man who tried to hit him as he did noticed a small spitting sigh from Ray's mouth.

The next moment I thought I felt a dull impact on the dovetail, I was unconscious and collapsing to the ground.

"Become!? Zoe!? What the fuck!

One of my buddies screams and tries to wave his fist at Ray...... notice that his legs are stiffened by snow and he is unable to move.

I don't know if you realize it's Marina's spiritual magic, but in the next moment this one also loses consciousness with another blow from Ray and collapses to the ground.

The blunt sound of continued beating of meat sounded continuously around us, and that was what everyone was supposed to feel the cold of snow all over their bodies in seconds of things.

"Not at all, it's hard to have guys like this in the winter"

"Right.... So, it's a ring..."

Ray and Marina went on to date again after just one word of a series of events.

... leave the mercenaries crumbling on the cold snow on the spot.
