Legend

Tons of wood, overflowing in the warehouse.

... No, considering it still has branches and skins on it, it would be quick to call it wood.

Together, there were about thirty logged trees lined up in the warehouse.

If all of that was slaughtered with just one hand and brought here... not to mention about two hours of combined travel time - including buying and eating time - the time spent on the act would be unbelievable if it were normal.

But it's Ray who does it.

"Isn't this... a little too much to bring?

Lenora looks at the trees piled inside the warehouse and squeaks in disdain.

I left Ray's opponent to Kenny in the morning, but as usual, Lenora was Ray's opponent now that I was nearly noon free.

"Really? I only brought this for now because I ordered as much as I could... if it wasn't enough, could I bring more?

"So there are too many..."

To Ray's words, Lenora growls in sigh.

Ray nods, looking at Lenora like that.

In fact, it's only before noon, even though I came back in the morning to harvest all these trees at my request.

With that in mind, is that the same thing again in the afternoon... it was possible to cut any more quantities.

But the Alliance's warehouse is not infinite either.

No, Ning Ro Chun means that Gilm adventurers have been actively asked to make up for the money they spent in the winter, and newcomers to Gilm have also been asked to boast of their existence... and most importantly, to gain the strength to do just that in Gilm.

That would naturally increase the number of materials obtained, and the warehouse was overflowing with large quantities of pre-sold materials.

I mean, even with more trees, there's no place to put them.

I still have a lot of room in this warehouse right now, but if I can bring just the same trees as this one day after day, the warehouse will be filled in not too far away.

(Well, maybe you don't have to worry about that much because we're talking about guild masters and this tree gets carried out every day)

It was Lenora thinking as she looked at the trees at the end of her gaze, but Ray accidentally changes the subject.

"With that said, has anyone had a party or something that hasn't come back since yesterday?

"Huh? Hmmm... even if they say so, there are a lot of adventurers, and some parties who haven't come back for a request..."

"No, maybe he didn't ask for it."

I don't know what's out there. We headed to the woods, so it's hard to imagine taking any requests.

Not to mention how many adventurers there are in the Guild right now, beyond the rapid increase in Guild adventurers in the spring, even the receptionist can't have a complete grasp of it.

"Unfortunately, you don't know a bit about that. As Ray knows, there are many adventurers in the Guild originally, but now even more.... but why?

Why did you suddenly ask me that?

When I think about Ray's request today, I ask him with the desire that the reason was half certain, but still different if I could.

But... the next moment, out of Ray's mouth was the word Lenora expected.

"When I went to the Trent Forest today, there was something like a camp trail. That's what it felt like when Sleisha was there."

"... is that right?"

Lenora, too, sighs sadly at the bad feeling that was in her.

There is minimal discipline in being an adventurer, but it is still basically free.

That's where we headed to Trent Forest, where no one can blame us.

But... Still, as the guild's receptionist, I didn't want to see adventurers lose their lives as much as I could.

I suppose that's all we were in a hurry for when we turned the news off to the third eye.

I wanted to do something about that rush and ended up losing my life... but until the circumstances around it, I couldn't understand Ray or Lenora.

In the first place, it has not yet been discovered that it is the third eye that has lost the news at this time.

"Well, the trail of the camp means..."

You must have understood what Lenora was trying to say. Ray removes the luggage and spears stored at the camp site from the mistering.

"This was what I left behind."

"... Um, Mr. Ray. Do you mind if I take this package with me to the guild? Originally, the ownership belongs to Mr. Ray..."

"Oh, I don't mind"

Better than the original, Ray didn't intend to make this package his own, so give it to Lenora lightly.

I also thought you might want a little spear, but there's a ton - almost broken - of spears in Ray's mysteries than the original.

There are many spears to throw, so there's no need to force this spear here.

(Well, a spear on a magic item might have attracted your interest... unfortunately, it's a regular spear)

Ray has, spears of magic items.

A twilight spear with a variety of special abilities and alongside the Death Size is Ray's main weapon.

If it were a spear for a magic item with these two kinds of effects, Ray would have claimed ownership of it.

But if not, there was no trouble imitating it.

"Thank you.... I'll find out who this package belonged to as soon as I can"

Tell him so, and Lenora will give a deep salute.

I don't know whose baggage it is yet, but I still want to be honest with the adventurers as the guild's receptionist, so I acted.

(Hard work, isn't it? He said buy the hard work inside the young, but Lenora looks like she's buying it for someone else.... Well, I guess that's Lenora)

Ray opens his mouth again as he looks at Lenora.

"Then I'll take care of the luggage. And this whole tree felling thing, together when we settle the commission later... okay?

"Yes, that's what I hear"

"Right. Then I'll take care of this tree.... I just think this is just advice, but if you leave it alone, the Trent Forest thing will taste a lot worse, okay? So far, we haven't made that much noise."

"... right. I think so too. However, as for the Trent Forest thing, it seems to be moving a lot up there. I think there's probably a lot going on there."

As far as additions to the gilm are concerned, they are not yet widespread.

No, on the contrary, we haven't even decided to do it clearly yet.

What is being done now is right that we are estimating whether we can really do it.

It is true, of course, that the Guild is fairly close to its limit at present, and there was no doubt that the only city on the periphery called Guild would be saturated, not far from it as it is.

That's why I needed to manage to build more guilds in the near future, but this one was still too steep.

It would naturally be a lot of confusion even up there because it came out necessary to significantly roll up the preparations that had originally been made.

And I didn't know that down there, and I was in a situation like this.

"Shouldn't we stay clear of the Trent Forest?

"... but I was wondering if that would lead the adventurers to more Trent Forest than ever before"

That's what I've heard before.

But still, Ray thinks it's better than what's going on.

Most of all, that's only close to Ray's sentiment.

If we actually banned him from going to the Trent Forest, that would definitely be the reason why there would be more missing persons out there than there are now, as Lenora says.

And the missing person in this case was eaten by the woods... that is, synonymous with death.

"Right.... Well, I'm glad you're just considering it"

In the end, Ray can't go any harder, either, and that's it.

I guess Lenora knows how Ray feels, too.

That's why I thought about it, trying to talk about it now upstairs.

"Hmm... I knew it was spring when I saw it this way"

"Grrrrrrrr"

After handing over the felled trees, Ray was walking around the city with Seto.

I had some thoughts in the warehouse, but still now I'm shaking that melancholy mood off.

In the end, the adventurer reconsidered that it was his own fault to go to a dangerous place.

"When it comes to spring, I'm looking at flowers..."

When Ray was in Japan, that was often why relatives and friends gathered for banquets in the name of Hanami.

Originally the house of Ray is in the mountains, so the cherry blossoms are also around.

... although I don't know if the cherry blossoms were planted by the people in the place where Ray lived or the cherry blossoms of nature.

(Like Trent Forest. So I think it's okay to have cherry blossoms or something)

From what Ray has seen, there are many species of trees growing in the Trento forest.

But cherry blossoms don't exist there.

If you are a tree that stands out like a cherry blossom, that is what you will soon find when you are flying in the sky on Ceto.

It was Ray's decision that there was no cherry blossoms in the Trent Forest because he still couldn't find them.

(Well, yeah, do it. The woods are eroding one day at a time, so maybe they'll grow cherry trees or something.)

If cherry blossoms grow automatically, I want to manage to control them and also make them on cherry tree-lined roads.

That's what I would think, but I also knew I wouldn't be able to do that.

(A cherry tree would be nice to make smoked.... Well, I've never actually made it, so it's knowledge of comics and stuff)

Smoking with cherry chips is only very common, and it was often shown on TV shows, and is often featured in comics and such.

Fu, I also thought I would smoke goblin meat with cherry chips... but given the taste of goblin meat, I immediately reconsider that it is not something I can do with about cherry chips.

"Give me a sandwich with that stewed oak meat... right, give me five servings"

"Aye, thanks for everything."

Ray, who bought a sandwich at a store where the bread he had previously bought was delicious, walks down the boulevard eating it with Seto.

Some of them played with Seto. That's what I was doing, but I guess it's because I have to prioritize my work. He leaves with a sorry look on his face.

However……

"Ah, it's Seto, Seto! Hey, let's play!

"I play with Seto, too -!

I don't have a job...... for those kids who are still small to be exact and only have as much work to do as help with the house, it was only natural that they would want to play if they found Seto, and at the same time take immediate action.

Now the other person you're afraid of...... that's who. If you're an adventurer like him to respond violently, the kids won't even try to speak up to such an opponent.

However, in Ray's case, some children have been dating for several years now, and many are familiar with Ray's character as such.

"Uh... right. What do we do, Seto? You wanna play with these guys like this? Or do you want to join the marinas?

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles his throat as he eats the sandwich...... eventually swallows the sandwich and rubs his face against the children.

"Hahaha! Already tickling, Seto!

The child tickles and laughs at Seto rubbing his face.

Ray smiled small as he watched Seto like that.

I often thought a lot about the Trent Forest, but only at this time do I feel happy to be able to have such a peaceful time.

"Hey, Ray. What's the matter with you?

"Hmm? Oh, no. Nothing. See, you play with Seto, too."

You wondered how Ray was, one of the kids who was gathered in Seto asks so, but Ray shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing.

(Trent Forest, huh?... I think it's time we really moved. If you let it go, the woods will erode the guilds within it, too)

Trento forest spreading like every day.

The spread ranges from 10m to 15m a day.

But that is only the situation we have been in, and not always the same.

Ray thinks we should do something about it at once before it does.

Fortunately, what Ray specializes in is the magic of fire, and that's why we can sweep the woods with fire whirlwinds... because it should be.

Ray had a bad feeling while watching the kids play with Seto.
