Legend

"... what? Uh, why would that be?

After a few seconds of silence, Tris asks Ray that as he looks at himself in front of him.

While swallowed by Ray's atmosphere, it would still be Tris' will as a merchant to ask.

But asking again doesn't change Ray's gaze at Tris.

I have the word eye strength...... but that's such a gaze that what Tris is savoring right now even seems to be physical pressure.

Tris is also known for his competence at the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

Still, I can't move in a detour with Ray in front of me now.

... No, you can still be praised at that point because you are still able to open your mouth this way.

Before such a tris, Ray once again asks the same thing as a few seconds ago.

"The Spiel Chamber of Commerce is hostile to me. That's the kind of recognition you need, right?

"You don't mean that to me!

I guess the word out of Ray's mouth was still something to be stunned about for Tris, even after hearing it twice.

Still, as I panicked, I shook my neck sideways and screamed that I was not going to be hostile to Ray.

The flesh on my cheeks and jaw was shaking at that time, showing some communal appearance...... hatred and no one can enjoy it with someone who is here now.

"But are you going to do something about who you came to me with? Don't let me get my hands on you.... then doesn't that mean me and you don't agree decisively?

"Ray, that doesn't make the word hostile worthy, does it? One way or another, I think it's better to describe it as a competitor."

That's what Marina tells Ray to calm down.

To such Marina's words, Tris appeased what he would not put on his expression.

Hostile to Ray means it doesn't taste good in many ways, only to Guild.

Firstly, hostility with Ray would also mean hostility with Ray's submissive Seto.

In that case, it is Ceto of Gilm's mascot character presence. Few of those who naturally adore Seto will have a good impression on the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

Other than that, there is definitely a great deal of damage to the Spiel Chamber of Commerce at the point of hostility with Ray above all.

That's how many people can stop Ray when he gets rammed.

"Competitors…? Right, maybe you're right that way. It's just that if we get in the way of our actions, the Spiel Chamber of Commerce will see us as enemies, too, but is that okay?

Ray changed his mind a little when Marina told him to, but he was still slightly hostile from the front, but it only improved.

... that slight improvement is likely to be a lifeline for the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, but still, Tris wanted Ray to keep an eye on the matter if he could.

I was wondering if I could do something about it... and eventually, Tris remembers Ray's hobby.

Yes, Ray's hobby of collecting magic items.

Hanging on a desire, Tris opens his mouth.

"I know Mr. Ray is angry about this one. But can't you do something about it? Of course I apologize for the inconvenience this time. Anything, Ray thinks it's a hobby to collect magic items? The Spiel Chamber of Commerce also deals with magic items."

"That's out of the question."

Ray returns the words without a moment of hesitation.

I do have a hobby of collecting magic items.

That's true.

But...... Still, if you are believed to be able to acquire yourself with a magic item in this case, it was dissatisfactory and even offensive.

"Don't look at me too cheap. … you want to burn down this Spiel Chamber of Commerce itself"

Ray lowers the hood of his dragon robe and tells him with a grin.

The grin is that that's the kind of grin Tris usually has in his mouth, but his eyes aren't laughing.

"It's just... right. If you're transferring around the item box to me, you can think about it. It's a real item box, not a degraded one, of course."

An item box is a very small number that exists.

That's what you can easily imagine if you think about how many times Ray has been targeted at item boxes before.

If Elaine also has a degraded type, her performance is considerably lower compared to the item box that became her major book.

Perhaps there are limitations, but Ray's perception is that the amount of degraded items that can be stored is less than the amount of items that can be stored almost indefinitely.

I can still store about a room's worth of luggage, so it's overwhelmingly convenient to transport compared to a carriage.

There is also the ability to keep the item box inside without the time elapsing.

It is thanks to this effect that Ray can eat freshly made dishes anywhere.

In contrast, the time of objects stored by the degraded type normally elapses.

Despite precisely the difference in performance between heaven and earth, degraded item boxes are very rare, and it is not uncommon to trade in white gold coins instead of light gold coins.

Even the degraded ones are worth that much, so it goes without saying how much real item boxes are worth.

In the first place, it cannot be made with current technology, unlike the degraded type.

Existing numbers have been determined and only a few exist just because they are known.

Maybe some people have it so that no one will know, but if they do, it will be hard to find it.

At least not a substitute available to the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

The Spiel Chamber of Commerce is quite a big one, but that is only to some extent.

If you look around Ergin...... no, there are many other chambers of commerce that are bigger than the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, even if they are limited to the Kingdom of Mireana alone.

Because the Spiel Chamber of Commerce is only a moderate chamber of commerce inside… or inside.

Not very much, but it was impossible to tell them to get an item box.

"It's... I'm sorry to say this as a merchant, but I can't do that"

"Then you give up."

"But!

Try to block Ray's words, and Tris screams.

Even for Tris, we can never leave this place.

If anyone but himself settles this matter in the power struggle of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, Tris will be insulted.

As a merchant, that is absolutely not acceptable.

Because if you imitate it here to be insulted by the surroundings, it would mean applying mud to the signs of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

As the person entrusted with the branch, such imitation is never possible.

Information flows quickly among merchants, and it will be only a matter of time before this matter becomes public.

The Azotto Chamber of Commerce, which also has great influence, especially in the Guild, is a form entirely embroiled in the civil strife of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

It is unlikely that such an Azot Chamber of Commerce would imitate this case in such a way as to conceal it.

After revealing his big name, he was supposed to take some action.

"Can't you do something... please? Exactly."

Looking deeply down at Tris, Ray thinks a little.

In myself, it was a matter of finality to make Precious take responsibility for this one.

But I also wonder if I could ask some of the other opinions based on how Tris is doing.

No resentment whatsoever towards the Spiel Chamber of Commerce and Tris himself...... and inconsiderate.

"What do you think?

"Right. Neither Ray nor Tris are going to give up on both. Then why don't we just move each other the way we think we do? And in that I would prefer to eventually arrive at Precious. But in that case, you're gonna need some kind of conclusive evidence."

It's about Ray, so if we don't make it clear here properly, that's what we can do straight to Precious.

Even though, naturally, Ray looks disgusted by Marina's words that I thought so... no objections, nodding.

Because if you imitate that you attack Precious without any proof, that could put you in a position to be chased by the guards.

Of course if anything happens, that's what Ray thinks he doesn't mind leaving Gilm.

But still, it's true that Gilm is a cozy place, and I don't want to imitate that as much as I can without something to leave.

Tris exhales relief when he sees Ray like that, too.

In the sense of pure strength, that's what Tris doesn't reach all the way to Ray.

That's what Ray calls a comparable force to a single army on his own, so I guess that's natural.

But that's what I thought if gathering evidence was my top priority, it would be in the interest of a merchant who was familiar with the information.

"Do you both have any objections?

"None"

"Right, there isn't."

Ray disagrees...... and Tris smiles and returns that to Marina's words.

The marina who sees it snorts again.

"Then shall we start by gathering evidence to hunt down Precious from each other?... Oh, and just in case. Maybe... maybe, but it's possible that the killer isn't Precious this time, so don't imitate what you decide."

Marina said that because Precious, who ran into him in the hallway, said a lot of meaningful things.

We could have expected to say so to confuse ourselves and confuse ourselves, but still, it's possible that 100 million is one.

Marina, who has experience as an Alliance Master, had decided that Tris was not entirely trustworthy either.

Not to mention that during the winter, the Spiel Chamber of Commerce was acting so forcefully that it didn't touch the law because it was well in my ear.

"Wow. Is that what you're trying to say when you can't trust my information?

"I didn't say that much. But it's really possible, isn't it? Just in case."

In fact, it's a word from the Guildmaster's experience that it's dangerous to judge everything solely by the information we hear from Tris.

Maybe Tris is trying to use Ray's power to fit Precious in.

Because it's possible.

"... ok. So be it."

I guess Tris also understood what Marina was thinking.

It was an inadmissibility, but I accept it without saying no to Marina's words.

"Well, it seems you understand more than anything. So shall we end the conversation around here? Or do you still want to talk to me about something?

"I would have liked to have a lot of business with Ray, but as things stand, there's no reason for that."

As someone entrusted with the branch of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, that's how many things I wanted to do with Ray.

Famous as an armed adventurer, Ray is a difficult plant to harvest if you are an ordinary adventurer… or defeat powerful high-ranking monsters to obtain materials and demonic stones.

Furthermore, the fact that it is possible to travel on a ceto and the fact that it has mystering allows it to carry large volumes of luggage at a speed not comparable to that of carriage by carriage.

Exactly, if it's normal, I would definitely like to talk about business... but there's no way I can do that in the current situation.

Ray also nods back again to Tris, who groans unfortunately from the bottom of his heart.

"Right. Unfortunately, unless this case is resolved, I guess I won't be helping the Speel Chamber of Commerce. And... no, I'm not going to do that anymore."

It was Ray stopping words along the way, but Tris could understand what Ray was trying to say.

That the Chamber of Commerce Ray had personally been close to would have been badly damaged by the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, he said.

It was a really necessary act to eat into the guilds and get a certain share, but now it's bouncing back against us.

(Should I have taken another means? But I didn't know you had a relationship with Mr. Ray... now, did I?)

Neither does dating that chamber of commerce because it has some important contract.

It seems like a reckless study to eat goblin meat from the side.

That is why I do not know that there is a connection with Ray about such a hobby... as a result, it is a cause of the current troublesome situation.

With a little regret... Tris could still think of a way to make things better anyway.
