Legend

The perimeter was already completely brighter when the Rays returned to the guild.

Naturally. He was mentally and physically exhausted fighting giant monsters like Giganto Turtle.

I try to heal that fatigue somewhat before I go home, and everyone finds out.

Isn't there enough carriage? and.

The carriage that the Rays came on when they came to Trent Forest has already returned with those who did not take part in the battle because it would get in the way in the battle against Giganto Turtle.

The adventurers who came to reinforcements in the battle against Giganto Turtle were riding in carriages, but naturally the number of people who can ride in carriages is more limited than they are.

With some leeway, some would be able to ride the carriage without any particular problems, but not all of them were very, but could not think about it.

Most of all, the problem was solved by those who were fighting Giganto Turtle riding the carriage.

Most adventurers were fond of those who had fought Giganto Turtle, so few were dissatisfied with it.

… but that means that there are a few people who are unhappy.

Still, I could not complain grandly about Ray, and as a result those who came to reinforcements were to walk back to Gilm.

"I've been waiting for you, adventurers! Well done. You solved the Trent Forest thing!

It was such a voice that arrived in front of Gilm's main gate and welcomed the adventurers out of the carriage.

Those who hear the voice calm down for a moment, and at the next moment they begin to blur.

Naturally, it was the Dusker Larks, who ruled this guild, who came out of the main entrance and greeted themselves.

Next to such a dusker was also the figure of the worker of the present Alliance Master.

There are, naturally, more of the knights of the escort there than there are all the important figures of Gilm.

(Though it's morning, it's still not time for the main entrance to open)

Because of the limited number of people who could ride the carriage, Ray returned to Gilm while riding Seto.

At that time I was wondering what time it was and I looked at the clock, but it was only before 5 am.

Considering the distance from then to Gilm, it's probably only before six in the morning.

I guess it was a good annoyance to the knights that so many knights were driven out at such a time.

I can't help it if everyone thinks so, including Ray.

"I didn't know Master Dusker bothered to greet you... you were a little surprised"

That's what I told you, Marina, who is used to negotiating this hand as a former guild master.

Unlike when you're always dealing with Dusker, it's a polite tone, I guess, because you understand that this is not a personal exchange, it's a public exchange.

Does Dusker understand that too, he moves his eyebrows into Marina's words only for a moment, but immediately smiles and opens his mouth.

"Near Gilm, Trent Forest suddenly appeared. If the giant monster who emerged from that Trent forest became his opponent... not to mention because the roar of that monster could even be heard by Gilm. There was an earthquake."

"... With that said, was the impact of that earthquake okay?

"Oh. Fortunately... the expression may not be very worthy, but the guild wobbled less. Compared to that incident I had when I was a kid..."

"That said, you had that. That's when quite a few houses collapsed."

Ray... and most of them didn't understand what they were saying, but some veteran adventurers did.

Nodding at each one with a bitter smile.

But I guess we realized that a lot of people didn't understand their stories. Dusker coughs small and then opens his mouth again.

"Anyway, they all did a great job. I'm getting ready to soothe my body. Let's treat those who are injured. Naturally, there's food and booze."

'Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The adventurers each raise their voice of joy at the unexpected hospitality Dusker has spoken of.

Those who had spoken of wanting to rest early until they came here were also happy to raise their hands to Dusker's offer.

"Oh, that's a lot to prepare."

"... Hmm. I need to know a lot about the Trent Forest. Besides, I want to make sure this story doesn't spread as much as possible if I can."

"But you heard Giganto Turtle roar here too, didn't you? Isn't it impossible to hide that?

"Of course, I'll make it public. I just have trouble spreading information that I don't want meaningfully. They're sending knights and guards to the Trent Forest too, so they can't come in for a little while."

"You can't ban all of those big woods, can you?

"I know. So you just want to make a declaration that this case is over as soon as possible. By the way, is that Giganto Turtle the giant turtle monster in the report okay?

"Yeah, it's not an official name, Ray just named it for now."

"Ray, huh? Should I praise you or pay attention... No, I didn't tell you how to use the Trent Forest thing in this case. Is this bad?"

With each of the adventurers raising their voices of joy, Dusker and Marina, who no longer received the attention of their surroundings, each had a conversation as usual.

The knight nearby also hears such an exchange, but he doesn't look like he cared with the usual.

I suppose that's what you think, that we've already had a paragraph in our interactions in public.

As such, the Rays are all taken straight to the Lords' Hall.

Why are some adventurers in the Lords' Hall? Some questioned it, but it was not explained that it was in order to make the Trent Forest affair less spreadable, because there are only a limited number of places where the feast can still be prepared at this time in the early morning.

Of course not everyone honestly believed that... No, most adventurers understood the general situation, but nothing like putting it on the table.

Though dispatched as reinforcements, for adventurers who had already finished the battle when they arrived and had nothing to do after all, this feast would also have had the effect of relieving their dissatisfaction with being forced to sleep.

This one didn't complain about anything in particular either.

No, a lot of people are happy that if they can just drink and eat...

"Even at this hour, you have quite a few people."

Even though it's still early in the morning, there are quite a few people in the city.

He opens his mouth to Ray, who groans as he walks with Seto, as Luno, who was walking nearby, shuddered.

"Of course not. Brighten it up... in some seasons, a lot of guys are already moving around from dark. In the first place, it's early in the morning for adventurers to gather in the guild.... a handful of people, including Ray, go to the guild late because they don't like the crowd."

"In my case, you don't have to ask for anything."

In Ray's case, he already has enough money to run out.

Still, if you really want to make money, that's how much money you can make by hunting monsters and selling things like crusade proof sites, demon stones, and materials.

Going to the guild is something like half-information gathering, or the bigger side of meeting with Lenora and Kenny.

Ray was the one who tells you what a normal adventurer would want to rumble around with jealousy if he heard, but he's already known to be that kind of person.

While we speak that way, a line arrives at the Lords' Hall.

And those who are hungry quickly scatter themselves in the cafeteria where meals are prepared, and those who are injured are scattered in such conditions as their treatment.

Ray also had the thought of... being pulled to the marina as a matter of course, and all the faces of the Red Lotus wings head to the Lord's office.

Though only Seto lay back near the stables to relax and wait for the maid to bring her food.

(Envy. I'd love to sleep and eat, too)

It would be natural for Ray to think so.

But only Ray, who actually interacted with the doll at the root of the tree in Trent's Forest incarnation in an image language, also needed to hear more about it for Dusker and the workers.

Trento Forest is not an essential part of the construction of the Guild… but it was an unmistakable fact that it was as helpful a place as it could have been.

So we need to discuss what will happen to Trent Forest... and how we are going to get involved.

That's how you come to Dusker's office, each sits on the couch.

Does Dusker also understand that the Rays have been up all night and haven't eaten anything for a long time, telling the maid to bring something appropriate to eat?

That's how only the face of the red lotus wings and the dusker and the worker remained in the room.

"... Phew. Shall I say thank you to Ray first? I had no idea there was such a thing in the Trent Forest. Thank you for finding it and knocking it down. I appreciate it..."

As the saying goes, I'm sure Dusker is grateful for Ray.

But it still gives me a complicated look because it still involves building more gilms.

Of course you can build more guilds even as things stand.

Because the border is also where so much wealth gathers.

Still, the less it costs, the better.

... but it doesn't make sense to do underwork because I want to keep costs down.

Anyway, this is the border.

If you get out of the way with the exterior wall work to protect the people living in the area, that could be the price you pay for it with your life.

Dusker and worker gaze at each and eventually the worker sitting next to Dusker opens his mouth.

"Actually, Mr. Ray. … there are plans to build more guilds soon"

"... Really?

I just thought there was something to talk about in the Trent Forest, Ray, but I guess I never thought that would come out here.

Point a slight surprise gaze at the worker.

"Yeah, so naturally, if you're going to build more cities, you're going to need a lot of material."

If you say so, Ray also figured out what the worker wanted to say.

I mean, I guess I was eyeing the Trent Forest as the material to be used for the additions work.

And why did you even bother hiring a... No, the adventurers you hired in the name of escorts combined to imitate that?

Also, with regard to the felled trees Ray had brought in mystering, I suppose it would have been possible for Ray to carry them somewhere as they were, but the fact that they were carried by a limited number of people without letting them do so also had to do with the augmentation work.

"But... I don't know what to say, but it's the wood you're talking about, right? Of course I know you use it as building materials, but isn't the city's outer walls more important?

"If you're wood enough to build a house, it's not hard to transport either. But if we're going to increase the Gilm by 50% now..."

"Five splits!?

Ray also reveals an unexpected look to the unexpected words coming out of the worker's mouth.

If I was wearing a hood, I would be surprised if I could take it off because I seem surprised right now.

But I guess that's natural, too. But even Gilm is a broken scale as a city.

That's so much so that I think I wouldn't mind describing it as a city more than half the time.

When it comes to making a gilm that big even more than 50% wider... Ray can tell how massive the construction is.

Of course I don't know exactly how much construction it will be, but I could still have predicted it in general.

Looking at Ray, who opens his eyes to surprise, the worker continues his explanation.

"I think you understand, it's a construction of that scale. On top of that, we also know that trees felled in the Trento Forest exert some defense against magic by applying some hand. Trent's woodland trees were so precious..."

"I knocked it down," he said?

"No. To be honest, as Master Dusker said, a giant turtle monster...... was it Giganto Turtle? It is very helpful that you defeated that. Because I didn't know when a monster like that would come out. And..."

Hearing the door knocked, the worker stops the word once.

And Dusker orders me to go inside, and the maid cooks a variety of dishes...... I guess they serve them at the banquet, leaving the room.

"Well, take it and eat it. Let's talk about it later."

Following the words of the worker, Ray reached for the dish on the table.
