It had been about a month since the uproar of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, and the season was in full spring.

No, the season was already spring when the Spiel Chamber of Commerce disturbed, but it was still chilling in the morning.

But that's not true now.

Enjoy the cheerfulness of spring, such a spring season.

(If I was in Japan, I would see flowers with cherry blossoms or something)

In the courtyard of Marina's house, Ray looks around with only his gaze as he pillows on his sleeping ceto, attacked by a mild drowsiness.

There are also several trees growing in the garden, but there are no cherry blossoms there as a matter of course.

In the first place, Ray had never seen a cherry tree, although it had been several years since he came to this Elgin.

I've seen a lot of trees grow that I've seen in Japan. That's why I was wondering if there could be cherry trees... that's what I'm thinking, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find them yet.

Most of all, cherry blossoms in Japan are cherry blossoms with varietal improvements.

If this Elgin had cherry blossoms, it would be very different from the cherry blossoms Ray knows.

When I was in Japan, it was just about the current season… sensibly around the end of April and early May, and cherry blossoms began to bloom in the area where Ray was.

I guess that's why Ray wants to see cherry blossoms like this now.

For Ray, cherry blossoms are not a graduation ceremony or an admission ceremony... the impression is stronger that if you do poorly, you will have a good look at the May holidays.

(Hanami?... Even if that's not possible, grab a lunch box and go for a picnic with the face of the Red Lotus Wings...)

Thinking that way, Ray falls from half asleep to full sleep.

"Oh, I guess I'll feel better sleeping with Seto on my pillow."

Marina, who was watching Ray like that, squeaks with a smile.

On the table I brought out to the garden using Ray's mystering as usual, there is tea.

"What's this sunshine. You can't help Ray."

This one sips herbal tea and Vihera squeaks.

"Mmm."

Buune speaks out of agreement as he reaches for the sandwich he has on the table.

Although Red Lotus Wings received several requests after the completion of one of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce cases, it was not that much of a request.

Something like the crusade of a herd of goblins who showed up in the spring, the crusade of a herd of harpies, the request to procure the meat of the fangboa asked for by the dining room......

I can't say it's a Rank B party-like request, but I've been caught up in such a commotion as soon as I partied, and it was an action from the idea of wanting to slow down a bit.

"Pfft, when you see that, you want to have a nap with me."

Marina turns her gaze to the sky and squeals.

There are a few clouds that sometimes shade the sun... but the spring sun still brings soft light to the ground.

If this were summer, it would be a very self-assertive sunlight.

You can say it's the sun because it's spring.

"It's not a bad day for nothing like this."

To Marina's words, Vihera squeaks as she looks at Ray.

Listening to such Vihera's words, Marina turned her sincerely unexpected gaze.

Naturally. Marina also knows that Vihera prefers to fight...... besides the three main desires called appetite, sleep appetite and lust, there are also things to say about fighting appetite.

So it must have come as a surprise that words like now came out of Vihella's mouth.

That wasn't just the marina, and the same was true of Bühne.

The words out of Vihella's mouth have stopped the hand that was stretched out to grab the sandwich.

After seeing the two of them like that, Vihera opens her mouth with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face.

"What, nothing. Even me, I'm interested enough in something other than battle?

"If you look at the usual vihela, it doesn't seem that way."

"Mmm."

To Marina's words, Bühne nods in agreement as well.

Viewed that, Vihera would know that it would not work for her to say anything more, even if she came up with a disgruntled look again. Mouth a cup filled with herbal tea.

Marina laughs again at how Vihera looks like that.

As such, it was a marina's house where soothing times were flowing...

"Excuse me, is Master Marina here!

Such a chopped voice sounded, and the graceful moment marked the end.

Time went back and a few days before a noisy voice echoed in the marina's mansion...... there was an adventurer party walking a lot off the streets leading to Gilm.

Five people and quite a few as a single party, but two warriors, two archers, one bandit and a very balanced party.

As a Rank D party, I was trying to get out of my position as a rookie and raise a flag in the guild, a common party in the spring season.

As soon as we show our heads in the Guild, the party leader's man understands that, instead of going straight down the street that leads to the Guild, we come up with something a little off the street.

Some of the parties that know this is the border try to stop such party leaders... but in the villages we have worked in so far we have won a lot of good luck with such party leaders' thoughts.

Because he is aware of it, party leaders shake their heads sideways to the opinions of their peers.

"I'm not talking stupid. You're acting like everybody else, and you think that's how we're gonna be made of guilds?

"I know that, but reconsider, Dougza. A street is a street because it's safe, right? If you get out of there, the monsters will attack you."

"Sokunan's right. If this is a normal place, as Dougza says, I think we can handle it at a little risk... because this is a periphery, and the monsters that come out are not the same people we've been fighting"

A warrior man and a archer woman tell party leader Dougza to manage to keep her in mind.

But Dougza's not listening to his buddies like that.

I've done everything I wanted, so I thought it would be okay this time.

People call it the chronic mind, not the confidence, but whoever gets into that position cannot be aware of it.

In addition, members other than the two prudentials agreed with such Dougza that they ended up taking off the streets.

… but I understand that Dougza is also on the edge here.

But still, if we could do it ourselves, that's what we thought.

The only thing that would have been unlucky for this party would have been the party of the Dougzas just walking down this street.

If there was a merchant here who was used to traveling about the border, let alone an adventurer working in the Guild, he would have definitely stopped the Dougzas.

That's not just out of kindness.

What happens if Dougzas' party is attacked by a monster and you run off to the streets with it... it will definitely involve the others.

Not to mention, it's not just those with combat power who are in the streets.

Most people hire escorts, but that's why they don't want to go ahead and fight, and some people don't even hire escorts because of various circumstances.

Those who were chased by monsters in such a place… what would happen if they brought monsters who are also excited.

You won't even have to think about it.

Those who have no fighting power will feed the monsters with little resistance, and will drain their health and weapons in vain, even if they have fighting power.

Even if it is a magic item, a normal weapon can be used to spill a blade, or the taste of slashing can be reduced by blood or fat.

That would naturally necessitate care, which would be an extra expense.

Not to mention that if an adventurer who was finishing a request and draining his strength and weapons were to stay in such an occasion, there was also the possibility that the end of death awaited.

And naturally those who have involved everyone in such a disaster can't just do it, and if they do poorly, they could be caught and punished by the guards and the Knights.

... the optimists, including Dougza, had no idea to that point.

"Look, we're going anyway! I'm telling you I'm going to be the party leader, and you're gonna be okay!

Other faces snort half-indolent at Dougza, who tells him so.

In fact, this is how we are now heading to the Guild because we have been successful so far in doing what Dougza says.

Given the experience we've had, that's never wrong.

That's how the Dougzas were off the street, but it's still daytime... sometimes that's not so far from the street, and it's about goblins you encounter.

For the Dagzas, if it's a group of dozens, it's still a few goblins, and that's not the enemy either.

That's how Dougzas proceed while defeating Goblin.

"Huh, he said it was a periphery, so I was wondering how powerful enemies would appear, about goblins. A little higher ranked… I was wondering if you could come out with a monster that would give you a glimpse when you arrived at the Gilm"

Dougza whines as she strips the demon stone and crusade proof area from the goblin, amputates the limbs and neck of the body as it is and throws it appropriately.

Note that this is not something like breaking a body and playing with it, it is an anti-dead monster.

This way, you will be less likely to become a skeleton or zombie, and if you do, you will have no hands or feet.

There was also the possibility that monsters and animals would take them home and eat them as their own bait to a moderate size: limbs and necks.

… but no one likes goblin meat.

All in all, it was the Dougzas who went on while defeating the goblins, but they used to walk off the streets and never arrived in the Guild when the sun was going down.

"Shit, can't you? The sun is setting, and if we find a suitable place, we're in the wild today! I'm going to the Guild tomorrow, so I'm gonna do it!

Dougza screams and breathes relief into the words as do the other faces who kept walking although they were taking a short break.

Less than twenty minutes after Dagza thus declares, a line finds a deep forest.

"I'm afraid of monsters to go into the woods and camp..."

One of the parties squeaks when he sees Dougza move toward the trees.

Even where they were previously active, the Night Forest was sometimes attacked by monsters, wildlife, bandits, etc.

Not to mention that this place where we are now is a frontier.

He told me that he was absolutely sorry to camp in such a peripheral forest.

I guess the others have the same opinion. Claim their respective opinions towards Dougza.

Even party leaders can't ignore the opinions of others.

In the end, Dougza followed everyone's opinion and became a camp a little further from the woods.

I guess I didn't leave the woods completely for some reason, because it's still a treasure trove of dead trees and ingredients.

That's how we all get ready for camp and quickly go into the woods looking for ingredients.

"It's spring, and you usually have mountain vegetables and fruits. If there's anything else on the scale of this forest, I'm pretty sure animals are normal."

That's what I mentioned, Dougza... you can't even find one of the animals after enough time in the woods.

The mountain vegetables have not grown for any reason either, and there are only fruits that are trees.

I can hear a bird squealing for once, but the bird is about the right size to call it a little bird, too.

"... I wonder what's going on, this"

A man called Sokunan sees the surroundings in wonder.

"Right. I think maybe, but a powerful monster was in these woods. So, the other monsters and animals escaped in fear of that monster... how about that?

To the words of the female archer, Sokunan looks difficult and shakes her neck to the side.

"I know what Sleisha's trying to say, but I've never heard of that before. Besides, if there's such a powerful monster near the guilds, isn't that why adventurers come from the guilds?

"Isn't that why an adventurer came from Gilm and defeated the monster who was here?

"... um, what do you think? There are deep reds in the Guild today that are subjugating Griffon, and there are other aliases and rank A adventurers. If you think about it, it's not like you can't."

Dougza, listening to the two of them like that, opens her mouth scratching her head to see if it stinks.

"I can't help it. I'll be right back. I got fruit and nuts, so let's put up with the rest with dried meat."

When Dougza tells him that, neither Sokunan nor Sleisha say anything more, and he goes out of the woods.

… at this time, if you think a little more deeply about this matter.

Slasha would later regret it deeply.
