Legend

1,300 words.

It's been ten days since I had a date with Vihera...... Ray was coming to the marina's house.

The only others are Seto.

In that respect, it doesn't mean we're alone, like we did on our date with Vihera, but the marina was still happy enough.

Besides the time alone with the man you love, you can even see the sight of Seto absorbing the Demon Stone.

As a woman, as an adventurer, as a spiritual wizard, I have a feeling that it will be very fulfilling.

"Yes, Ray was good with tea, wasn't he?

The garden of a marina's house, like a party previously held, set up by spiritual magic.

There, too, the marina puts tea on the table brought out as before.

"Oh, you don't like booze....... yeah, yummy"

Having a sip of tea, Ray squeaks smudgingly.

Purely the taste of tea would not extend to tea brewed by Ara.

But the tea the marina brewed with all her heart tasted good enough for Ray.

"Really? Heh, I'd love to.... Seto seems to be delighted with everything, and it's nice to invite Ray and Seto"

To Ray's words, he mutters with a happy, happy grin as Marina turns her gaze to Seto running around in the garden.

The garden, set up by spiritual magic, is no longer snowy.

No, it's been getting quite warm in the past few days in the first place, and the snow has been melting pretty much all over the city.

Not to mention the weather that still gives you a hunch of spring's coming when you go out with Vihera.

Many of the snow still remains in such temperatures… In the garden of the marina house, the snow disappears and the green lawn already exists.

Seto was now happily running around the green lawn.

I had no problem sleeping on the snow Seto at all, but it's not like I hate green.

No, I preferred the grass tree to the snow in terms of preferring it.

I guess that's why Seto runs around on the lawn in the garden of Marina's house like this.

Ray, who was watching such an innocent seto, turns his gaze to the marina sitting across from him drinking tea.

As this tea party would deserve. Unlike usual, the exposure was dressed in an adult party dress.

Still, both shoulders are exposed, so I could easily imagine how flashy the party dress the marina usually wears.

In contrast to such a marina, Ray opens his mouth while placing a cup of tea on the table.

"More than that, okay?

"Oh, what could it be?

"No, only this garden has this view, even though there's quite a bit of snow still out there. When you say spiritual magic, it doesn't mean the effect goes on forever, does it?

"Oh, about that? Right. I can't do it if it's normal spiritual magic... but there's something about backgammon?

Ray was little familiar with spiritual magic, but seeing Marina's face telling him that confidently, I knew it was incompetent to ask any more.

"Right. Then I won't ask you any more... Oh, so what happened to the worker thing? I almost finished taking over."

"Yeah? Yeah, I don't have much work to do as an Alliance Master anymore. I've introduced you to Dusker."

Making it Lord of the Guild, the central figure of the Neutralists is Dasker Larks, but I guess for Marina, the impression is strong that Dasker was the one who had proposed to herself when she was little.

I get a decent attitude in the official setting, but now it's just Ray and the two of us...... totally private temp.

That's why I can easily come up with that name this way.

I don't know about those two detailed relationships, but you know they're still close. Ray is convinced of his position as an Alliance Master.

The peripheral guilds cause more damage if two people in a high position - lords and guildmasters - start a power struggle.

That could be deadly for Gilm if it's a periphery but therefore bad.

With that in mind, it was to be welcomed that Marina and Dusker were close.

"Do you think the workers can do well with Master Dusker, too?

"Right..."

To Ray's inquiry, Marina silences herself to think of something, savours tea and opens her tea.

"I think it's gonna be okay, right? Ning Lo, it would be easier for Dusker to hang out with a worker than me."

A worker who starts dating new from scratch would be easier for Dusker than Marina, who is known for all the embarrassing events he had when he was a little girl.

That was the marina I would tell you, but there was an irresistible grin in my mouth.

Workers don't know when Dusker was little like a marina. But... Still, the worker is Marina's successor.

If Dusker looked sweetly at someone like that... the damage he would suffer as a lord would be enormous.

I wouldn't do anything more lethal to Guild than be Guildmaster, but I still have a lot of bills.

"Hmm. I'm not so familiar with the workers, but I guess I can trust Marina if she says so."

That's all Ray has to count when he meets with the workers.

One with Elaine, one with the silver lion.

Just this twice.

But I still don't have the option of not trusting a worker because I'm pretty sure I have eyes for Marina people.

Even then Ray and Marina have a lot of conversations with each other, sometimes laughing, sometimes illuminating, sometimes angry...... such a happy time goes by.

Seto also runs around the lawn-covered garden and spends his time in the winds like being stroked by rays and marinas.

And after a while...

"Hey, Ray. Can you show me where to absorb the demon stone?

Second, Marina tells Ray that.

To that word, Ray reminds me if that's how amazing he is with Marina today also meant to show Seto remembering his new skills...

The absorption of Snow Salamander's demonic stone was not sure which to make it a ceto or a death size.

But if Marina asks me to do this, I think back to whether I should let Seto absorb it.

Death size skills are also user-friendly, but there are methods of combat such as Flaming Emperor's Red Armor and Two-Spear Flow, besides which Ray has a variety of combat magic items.

Then it was still certain that Seto, who often acted alone, should be stronger.

Explore the surrounding signs, make sure no one is exploring themselves and open their teases.

"Right, if Marina says so.... Hey Seto!

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Seto, who was running around the lawn, stops moving and turns to Ray's voice.

And when I understand that Ray is calling, I run over happy.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and to Seto, who tilts his neck and asks, Ray takes the demon stone of Snow Salamander from Mystering and throws it away.

Seeing it, Seto cuddles and swallows its demonic stones in almost reflective motion before thinking about anything.

[Seto says, "Ice Arrow Lv. II 'skills acquired]

An announcement message I'm already used to hearing echoes behind Ray's brain.

Was that the same with Seto, and this one was happily ringing again.

But unlike Ray, who's connected to Seto, the marina doesn't know that.

"What's going on?

"No, I think I've successfully mastered my skills.... Seto, will you use it?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Following Ray's words, Seto activates an ice arrow.

Around Seto, ten ice arrows appeared.

"Considering it was five before absorbing the Demon Stone, is it simply double it?... Ten ice arrows is pretty strong."

Ice is also the original mass.

Even a single ice arrow would allow a goblin opponent to inflict fatal injuries.

That showed up as many as ten, so ten of them in one voice... no, also considering penetrating the body of a goblin, you can defeat more goblins.

If you are dealing with a more powerful monster at a lower level, there is also a good chance that the Ice Arrow will not work.

"Heh... that's so awesome"

Marina whines as impressed by the ice arrows that appeared around Seto.

For a Marina manipulating spiritual magic, it's not such a difficult story to make a similar attack.

In that case, however, even though chanting is short compared to normal magic, it takes some time to make it work.

By comparison, in Ceto's case, you can produce an ice arrow just by squeaking it up, so I'm pretty sure its activation speed is quite advantageous in combat.

"Huh, right?

I guess I was happy to be praised for my partner. Ray turns his proud grin to the marina.

"No, isn't that where Seto would be happy, not Ray?

"Because Seto is my partner.... what?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

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

At the same time, the ice arrow falls to the ground and disappears.

Ray looks at the sky, gently stroking Seto's head like that.

"Nice weather.... At times like this, it's a good idea to take your time like this. Seto seems happy to be able to run around as much as he wants."

"Right. This winter has been quite a mild day compared to before, but that winter is about over.... Ray, you better get ready, right?

"Fine, even if they say so. It's not like I have anything in particular. You might want to keep your body moving a little bit."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words. Seto would be fine with himself! and honking his throat.

In fact, that word would never be a mistake given how it moves around.

"Phew, Seto's fine."

Looking at Seto like that, Marina smiles happily and tells him so.

Was it a pleasure to be praised by the marina, Seto rubs his face against the marina as he throats.

"Pfft, there's a lot of things you can party with Ray, but it's a lot of profit to be able to touch Seto like this whenever you want."

"Uh... I'd love to hear you say that."

Ray smiles as he watches the marina playing with Seto.

In fact, given Seto's mascot treatment in the Guild, many would want to enter the same party as Ray just in terms of being able to play with Seto.

Especially when it comes to the love that Seto has for two people... the woman of a party leader and the woman of a former guerrilla.

Most importantly, the former has already partied, and the latter is one of the leaders of those who live together in what they have not partied with.

If you throw them out and tell them you want them in Ray's party, they definitely scare you...... on the contrary, they can be limiting.

Being thought of by Ray that way naturally means that Ray seems to be liked by Seto, who loves him, and what I can't stand about that is that both of us... and the like-minded knew it.

In the first place, the Rays aren't going to add any more party members so far.

Even with more, I thought that since Elaine came here...

However, when Bühne falls out, the bandits are gone in the party... and I'm going to do something around it using substitutes like Seto's abilities, Ray's magic, and magic items.

"Pfft, I'm glad Ray's happy too.... Oh, yeah. Can you give me a minute?

"Yeah? I don't mind."

It was Ray who questioned the sudden words, but today he just decided to be awesome with the marina all day, nodding at the words without any particular way of saying no.

After seeing how Ray was doing, Marina smiled funny and left Ray and Seto in the garden to go straight back inside the house.

Drop it off, a few minutes.

Awesome while having tea and sandwiches with Seto...... eventually the marina shows up from inside the house.

"I don't know..."

Ray will soon know what you're talking about.

It was a rare marina in a dress with no open chest, but it had a brooch on it.

"It suits you but... what's up with that brooch?

"Phew, Lenora and Kenny gave it to me because I quit the Alliance Master."

"... I see. Then we have to take care of it."

"Yeah. But take care of me, too, Ray, just like I take care of this brooch, okay?

Instead of the usual glossy grin, Marina had a happy, feminine grin and told him so.
