Legend

"So, what do we do now? I already made arrangements with the informer, and you don't have anything more to do with that later, do you?

The guards closed the deal with the informant in their possession, and the Rays were walking toward the front street.

Next to such a ray, Seto is happily eating the sandwich he bought as a souvenir from the liquor store.

Even though it was a liquor store like the one on the back street, the food was many times better than the proper restaurants around.

Of course, some restaurants like Full Pavilion and Golden Pavilion fall slightly compared to the delicious and reputable ones, but it certainly doesn't mean serving delicious dishes nonetheless.

Just like that, Ray and the others bought a sandwich as a souvenir for Seto waiting outside.

... If it were normal, I probably wouldn't have done such a service, but even the store people knew what the Rays were like, and there was nothing like saying no.

Most of all, the fact that they complimented me on the dishes served in the tavern and I was happy is probably the biggest reason I was made to bring home the sandwich.

"Right. I asked the informant, and besides that, I asked the people in the back society to gather information. Because all we have to do is wait for the information to come in."

"... for Ray, you're a lot of people."

"Really?... Well, maybe so. But I made a promise to Tris. Besides, it's not like I don't care who he attacks.... Have my rumors spread in strange directions lately?

"I can't help it."

To Ray's words, Vihera flaunts her shoulders small.

Naturally, if you imitate that, the rich double hills of Vihella, worn only in thin clothes, will shake, and the man who was passing nearby will suck his thoughtful eyes to such a gaze.

Is he such a man's lover, or is he family... or whatever, the woman he was with slaps his elbow into the flank of such a man.

That blow, which I had eaten where I was completely distracted, was powerful enough to stifle a man.

Without looking like he cared about such an exchange, Vihera continues her words as she looks at Ray.

"It's normal for celebrities, not just people with aliases, to be subjected to all sorts of strange prying? That's what Elk says back there."

"... in the case of Elk, he has a lot of extravagant personality, so I don't think he can help but say a lot about it."

From Ray's point of view, I'm pretty sure Elk has a fancy personality.

I don't think that's why I'm so arrogant.

He also knew quite well that his wife Min wouldn't have his head up because of family thoughts.

… However, there are times when that family thought runs wild.

When my wife Min and son Rodos were taken hostage by the Bestian Empire before...... Elk was quite concerned while Ray was on his way to help with that.

That's enough to implant the emotion of fear in the person involved.

If it's a regular elk, it's something I would never do.

I guess they saw such a place and spread rumors.

I don't know that much about Ray either, but I still had the thought that if I looked at my usual elk personality, I couldn't help but get the strange rumors flowing.

(Plus, it looks like he was stuck with a bunch of cuts about Rhodes.)

Elk and Minn were busy moving around to treat Rhodos, who remained unconscious about the Bestian Empire.

The desperation was such that it became a rumor irrevocably.

Instead of helping me treat Vihera, who was now unconscious by Ambris, Rhodos is also being treated and usually awake.

Ray was also listening to the story that he was still just losing consciousness for a long time and now he's trying to rehab.

I also thought I'd go see him a few times, but that hasn't come true in the end.

Not because Ray didn't go, but because Elk told me not to see Rodos right now.

I guess that's what Rodos, who is opposed to Ray, does not want Ray to see himself now, who can barely move.

(I don't care...... but if he cares, can't he help it? Also, it would be a lot harder if it got tangled up in strange winds and made a scene)

The figure of Rhodos seen in the civil unrest in the Bestian Empire had given Ray quite a strong impression.

Now that I have elks and mins, I think it's okay if something happens, but I still needed to keep an eye out for it.

(When that happens, I was fortunate to be losing my memory...?

Proceed all over the city thinking that way.

We have already moved from the back street to the front street, and then naturally some people come out who want to see Seto and love him.

He was Ray, who even had children and adults to feed Seto and watch him stroke him, but finds himself being pulled a fuzzy dragon robe.

Suri for a second or something? And I questioned Ray, but when I turned my gaze to you, what was there was still the look of Beaune pulling a dragon robe with no expression.

"What's up? No way, you want to play with Seto? Then Beaune's with Seto from now on, so you can give him a little bit of a concession, right?

What do you care? Just Büne who likes to play with Seto, doesn't Seto feel deprived and obstinate?

It was Ray who told him with that thought, but Büne shakes his neck to the side to deny the word.

"Mmm."

That's how he protruded, a dagger with a pure white blade.

The blade is obviously longer than a regular dagger, but it was nevertheless a weapon that should have been sorted into daggers by classification.

Seeing that weapon with the name of the white cloud, made from silver lion material, Ray once again leaks a sigh of relief into its beauty, but wonders why Büne took out the white cloud here.

You want to do something about those who love Seto for a moment? I also thought, naturally, that doesn't look like Bühne.

Because you just imitated that to show off? I also thought that, given Bühne's character, I don't even think he would imitate that.

In the end, in order to know why this had happened, I had to ask someone who could understand Büne's will.

"Vihera, what is Bühne trying to say?

Beaune's will was Ray, who had come to know quite well, but still not entirely.

(I guess I'll have to do something about it, too, than I'm partying as an adventurer.... Well, I feel like there's nothing I can do about it)

Whereas Ray has such thoughts, Vihera immediately understands what Bühne wants to say and opens her mouth.

"If you don't have anything else to do, I'm telling you I want to go to Pamidor's blacksmith shop. I take care of Baiyun, but I think it would be best for a real person to take care of it."

"... I see. Well, I need to let you know about Azimov, and I thought you needed to go see Pamidor, so that's okay."

Other than that, I had errands to let you know that I had formed a party.

For some reason, Ray and Pamidor have been dating for quite a while.

That was why it came from the decision that we needed to keep talking about the area.

Also, Pamidor and Azimov have been dating for a long time.

No, I'd say Pamidor and Azimov as blacksmiths and alchemists are deeper relationships than Ray and Pamidor as customers only.

Because I used to hear stories at parties about Azimov and his family dating and occasionally feeding in.

If so, you should definitely let them know that such a family-like Azimov was injured.

Even if the injury is healing in the potion.

(Besides, Azimov was targeted because he knew me. Then Pamidor is in enough danger of being targeted than he knows me too)

Of course Precious would use the same means twice? There is a question.

But at the same time, there is no doubt that the Azimov case worked against Ray.

Above and beyond that, there is no guarantee anywhere that we will not repeat the same actions again.

"Well, then I guess I'll go see Pamidor"

"Mmm!"

To Ray's words, Büne is only a little... really just a little, but his lips arc with joy.

Ray was just a little happy with the way Beaune was doing... telling those gathered in Seto that he was moving and walking away from the scene.

The Rays were close to Pamidor's blacksmith factory, but fortunately... or should I say so, the smell of iron rust never drifted like it did when I entered Azimov's lab.

Unlike Azimov, there is no reason to use the kind of magic item for deodorizing, so I guess Pamidor is safe.

With that in mind, Ray orders Seto to wait near the store before entering the blacksmith workshop.

"Pamidor, are you there?

That's what I call it, but there's nobody in the counter.

But behind the store... there are signs of people at the blacksmith, so I guess there's no one there.

"Fool, you're not! When you shake a hammer, you shake it with more strength! Don't think about your margins, anyway, do everything you can!

To the anger he hears, Ray tilts his neck.

Because the voice was not Pamidole-like.

No, it's not surprising Pamidor looks vicious to call him the bandit's big parent, but still Ray wonders why he's screaming like this... to whom exactly.

Pamidor was the only one who originally worked in this blacksmith workshop, because now the rage seemed to teach him how to wield a golden hammer.

So, why? And I wouldn't have a choice if I thought so.

That's what I thought, except for Ray.

"What do we do?

That's what Vihella asked me, Ray, but I came to see Pamidor in the first place, so there's no reason to remain silent.

"You're gonna have to go.... Pamidor, are you there? Let me in for a second."

Speaking so, as he entered the blacksmith... Ray opened his eyes wide to the sight that was spreading there.

Phew, with that said, I think you were equally surprised when you entered Azimov's lab, but this time it's not the worst sight like it was when Azimov.

Pamidor's son, Kumito, held the hammer and shook it down again and again.

Some cumites over the age of ten have it, so naturally the golden hammer is not the size Pamidor uses.

That's just about the size of a hammer the cumites have now.

Next to such cummits, Pamidor points out what's wrong with cummits as he speaks out loud.

"When waving a golden hammer, you take care of the flashes more. Flush the stream inside you straight into the hammer and wave. Do you understand?"

"I don't get it!? What the hell are you talking about?

Kumito, who was waving a golden hammer, screams unexplained advice from his father.

The movement of the golden hammer, which was swinging in sweat, has also stopped.

"Right..."

Ray, who was listening to Pamidor, agrees with Cumito's words.

Not only that, but Marina, Vihera, and even Büne, who doesn't usually seem to care much about others, nodded at Ray's words.

Normally, what Pamidor is saying can only be described as unscrupulous.

But as the person who is speaking of it does not doubt his words at all... then he was strangely distorting his vicious expression as to why he could not understand it.

(I hear that geniuses are bad at teaching people... maybe Pamidor is that too. I mean, I just thought Pamidor was hard-working, not some genius type)

With that in mind, in the meantime, Ray speaks up to Pamidor, who looks like he's failing thoughtlessly to pass on his skills to his son.

"Pamidor, do you have a minute?

"Hmm?... What, isn't that Ray? And the others. What's the matter with you?

"No, what's going on? That's what I want to hear."

"Kumito's supposed to work as a blacksmith, so I'm working on that.... Don't you see?

"If anyone could tell by the explanation earlier, I think that would be awesome"

Again to Ray's words, Marina, Vihera and Bühne nod.

... No, besides the Rays, even Kumito was nodding.

That attitude wasn't funny, Pamidor opens his mouth in a grumpy manner.

"So, I ask you again, what are you doing here? As you can see, I'm busy right now. If you don't have sudden business..."

"Azimov was attacked by someone"

In the meantime, that's what Ray said to make Pamidor look good.
