Legend

Drifting around is an appetite-stimulating scent.

By the time it was past noon, the Rays had left the Trent Forest for lunch.

If normal, adventurers eat a lot of dried meat and baked hardened bread on the way to work.

… but that is only a long time request.

Like this one, it is close to the city where it is based, but also provides some leeway for meals if traveling by carriage.

In fact, the face of the Red Lotus Wings eats many dishes, starting with the freshly made stew Ray took from Mystering, but the face of the man entrusted with the carriage also ate solid dishes such as sandwiches and fruits.

Still, in the sandwich, which is still some time after making it in the morning, and in the freshly made dish that Ray took out of mystering, the armament really rises to the latter.

Several of your men looked to the dishes that the Rays were eating with envy.

And eventually, I guess I couldn't stand it.

One of your men approaches Ray and opens his mouth.

"That, Ray. I wish I could... would you sell me some of those delicious skewers too?

"Oh, that's good."

"... Huh? Are you sure?

Though I asked, I am just a little surprised at the one you thought would probably turn you down.

I didn't expect you to sell it so lightly.

But for Ray, skewering is a substitute for buying as many as you can if you go to the guilds.

If you keep that in your misting, that's how you can always eat freshly baked skewers.

That's why Ray handed the skewer to your man lightly.

"Mmm!"

When you eat less of your own, just a little bit of Büne leaks his dissatisfied voice, but if Ray takes the new skewer out of the mistering, he nods satisfied immediately and returns to his meal.

"Er... I'm sorry. How much?"

"No, the money is fine. You're making a lot of money."

The reward Ray gets for this Trent Forest affair will probably be with flame ore.

Ray can't predict how much that will be.

That's all, the role played by the faces of the Red Lotus wings, including Ray and Seto to be exact, is huge.

There is no doubt that the rewards will be considerable.

Also, I'm selling Trent's body to the guild without demon stones, so that would definitely be the right forehead for you.

Thinking about the neighborhood, it's not even a huge expense to luxury skewering.

I'd rather have a good relationship with you than spare some expense.

Especially since all of you are guild employees, even in that sense, the extent to which you can afford skewering is not particularly problematic.

"You guys come too. You can eat about two or three bottles at a time."

Yes, when Ray speaks up, he smiles happily by the time it's cash, and his lord approaches Ray and the others.

"Take it appropriately.... Oh, you guys are good too"

It was the adventurers who remained here as carriages and escorts for your people that Ray called out, as he had then done.

A survey team that came to investigate the Trent woods, but there's no way they're all going to go inside the Trent woods and leave the carriages and your men alone.

Though no monsters appear in the Trent Forest during the day, that is only a rule of thumb.

And it's no surprise when monsters show up more than Trent's Forest itself is an irregular being.

Also, monsters don't show up from the Trent woods, but elsewhere, monsters usually do.

It's not necessarily that such a monster wouldn't hit the carriage left here, and it's unlikely that a bandit would show up.

Given those possibilities, the carriage and your escort will naturally be necessary… some of them were hired as carriage escorts in this line.

Naturally less rewarding than those who went to Trento Forest to investigate, but still less likely to have monsters, which is also a good treatment to be rewarded for doing practically nothing if not actually expected to be a battle.

In fact, many of the adventurers who are in Trent's woods as investigative teams wanted escorts.

Such escorts reach out to skewers delighted by Ray's words.

Though it is the alcohol that does not drink, it becomes a lively lunch… After a few hours as it is, the investigative team that gradually returns from the forest of Trento also begins to emerge.

Such people see Rays having a dinner party outside the woods that should also be called a banquet without booze, and they complain... but as soon as Rays gives them cold, cold fruit water, they don't complain either.

This cold fruit water, by the way, is not what Ray took out of Mystering......

The fruit water that was loaded in the carriage was summoned and cooled by the spiritual magic of the marina.

It's not as cold as ice and a headache, but it's still cold enough to chill in the river's cold water.

Even in the spring sun, there will be no more treats for those who have walked around in the woods and returned.

Drinking the fruit water in the cup given to me surprises me with a disgruntled look but with the cold in the first bite, drinks to check the cold in the second, then drinks the rest in the third bite all at once, demanding another.

And what follows is the laughter of superb beauties like Marina and Vihera.

No one is not satisfied with this.

... Of course many of them still have some grievances, and some would like to be closer to the marina or vihella if they could.

But I naturally know those two are Ray's party members, and I can't imitate them in a far-fetched way.

By the time we approached the evening that way, all the investigative teams that were in the woods had returned.

"Surprisingly so."

"Oh, yeah? There are no monsters out there during the day, and there are no beasts. With that in mind, I don't think it's weird that everyone's gonna make it back safely unless you get lost, though?

You heard Ray whining about everyone coming back, and that's how Marina talks to you.

"Right. I would normally...... hmm, is it my fault after all?

"I don't know. I don't even know where it is. But if you think about it normally, you still don't. What?

"But I don't know what kind of monster you are in this forest... no, or if you're not a monster, but you know we're here anyway, right? Well, I don't think they're gonna look into it very hard."

Being investigated means that the secrets of this forest could be revealed.

It's a situation where we don't really know much yet, but that's why our presence in this forest didn't want us to know our secrets.

Because the unknown is the only thing that makes the other person remember their fear.

(I say see who the ghost is or dead tail flowers...... but as for those investigating, I'd prefer dead tail flowers to be in this forest rather than something I'm not good at)

Elgin wouldn't understand. Considering the analogy story, Ray turns his gaze to the face of the investigative team that is moving to prepare dinner so that it continues from lunch.

Daytime investigations didn't end up with anything like who would discover anything in particular.

It was something that was expected from the beginning, but I guess there are still some things to think about.

Many had a disappointing look when they came out of the woods - especially the researchers' faces - but now everyone is all set and ready for dinner.

Even if it means a change of mood, I guess it's just fine.

Near the woods, but some adventurers are doing normal incineration and starting cooking there.

Some of them were cooking stews by simmering things like nuts and wild grass that they must have picked from the Trento woods.

"Hey, could that also be the guy you picked from Trent's Woods? They said we should stop it because it's dangerous, didn't they?

"'Cause it's okay. I still know a lot about plants. I'm not the only one growing up in this Trent forest."

"... Still, I think we should stop it. In the first place, you've been packing plenty of food in your carriage, haven't you? Then you don't have to bother risking it."

"It looked delicious."

I can hear that exchange, but the other adventurers enjoyed eating and talking to each one without looking particularly concerned.

Most importantly, there was no one who imitated drinking more than the need to challenge the production of this investigation in a certain sense: the investigation of the Night Forest from now on.

I guess this is natural as an adventurer.

"You can also eat the dishes Ray had, right? So if we can get something out of it, we can split the freshly made dishes, right?

"Hmmm...... I know that too, but this is the number of people, huh? Even Ray won't be cooking enough?

"Oh, you don't know? In Ray's item box, that's the only food that thousands of people can eat for years."

"Hey."

Ray goes into words he hears walking, like he didn't think.

There is definitely a lot of food in the mistering.

But still, as I've just heard, it doesn't contain enough food for thousands to eat for a few years.

Considering the meat of a monster I haven't got my hands on as food, it wasn't very much, but it wasn't all that much.

Especially since there are more people eating than regular adults like Ray, Seto, and Bühne, how much more will that hold?

"Whew, Ray!? Hey, could you have listened?

A woman adventurer who was talking to a man is surprised by Ray's presence and asks that.

"Oh. It would be a coincidence if we passed nearby like this.... I'm telling you, I don't have that much food."

"Oh, right. Yeah, that's what I thought too... because I heard a little rumor"

She was a woman adventurer who rushed to mislead the story, but Ray wasn't angry about anything else.

He shook his neck to the side and then opened his mouth.

"Than that, I get busy at night. You should take your time while you're at it, because that might be the last time you have time to take a break."

"... Huh? But what I heard, it's about Trent coming out, isn't it? Then..."

"Well, we fought with Trent... and a monster with a twist, but that's not really all, is it? There's a good chance there are many other monsters."

If you only encountered Trent, you would also be able to snort at the words of a female adventurer.

But... as a matter of fact, Ray and the others are looking at monsters other than Trent.

"That's right."

I keep my mouth shut even though I have information, and I have a bad dream of being attacked as a result.

Having so determined, Ray removes the marina's sampling from the mysteries.

The female adventurer, who suddenly sees a pigeon appear in front of her, opens her eyes wide without a voice.

The same was true of the man's adventurer, who had spoken to the woman adventurer until earlier, who stared at the “ in Ray ’ s hands from a little further away.

The thickness is not so great.

But it also seems like a snake somewhere because of its length and the preconceived notion that it strikes.

"This is... coming at me?

Ray nods back to the female adventurer who asks in such a way as fear.

By then, in addition to the adventurers Ray and I were talking to, many adventurers were focused on Ray's bearings.

Naturally. Because we can see with our own eyes the monsters and thoughts that we might fight.

"Ray, can I touch you for a second?

One of the adventurers around me calls out, yes.

Then, as it follows, the others come near Ray and ask him to let them touch him.

Usually not so many people talk aggressively to Ray, but if their lives are at stake, I guess the story is different.

Such adventurers are never the ones to dislike for Ray either.

Ning Lo, he was the preferred one.

That's why I will follow that request and hand over the Xu.

"Yeah, but this is the guy who submits it to the guild, so don't scratch it."

I didn't forget to say it that way though.

This is how the soothing moment passes...... eventually the sun sets completely and the surroundings are surrounded by darkness.

... Yes, it can be called this production, the night has arrived.
