Legend

Ray, who was flying in the sky on Ceto, at the end of his gaze… finds himself in a city quite far, but familiar.

That's a place for Ray to call home in this world called Elgin...... Gilm.

Even in Count Realdact territory, for ten days after he handed Dostrite a letter, Ray finally returned to where he could see the guilm.

Although I ended up buying dishes at the Dostrite store, it was purchased at a significant discount.

It would be a lot of pain, so Ray said he would pay properly, but in the form of being pushed off that he was grateful for bringing a letter from Jazz, for helping his niece Syrah... and, most importantly, for helping defeat Count Realdact.

What happens when the Real Duct is captured by the Rebels and Count Real Duct territory will be as a result?

I guess that's what Dostrite decided that Ray didn't even know that, but it still wouldn't be any worse than it is now.

Regardless of the nobility of the Earl of Lerduct family, within the framework of the nobility, I am sure you find it unsavory to dissatisfy the people.

(Well, is that unsavory going in the direction of forgiving the people, or is it going to be more robust oppression for being disrespectful to the nobles... I don't even know that area)

Looking at Gilm's appearance in the distance, Ray was nevertheless deciding that he would not be as likely to head for repression.

Because the aristocrats have Elaine.

If we were to pointlessly oppress the people and so forth, what action would Elaine with the alias of the Princess General go into... because she did not think that those who did not see it were not in the nobility.

Still, Ray could have predicted that it would be true that there would be a lot of disturbances.

Seto, why don't you come down?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto rings to Ray's words and goes down towards the main gate of Gilm.

Ray used to ask me not to go down directly in front of the main gate, but already these days things around there are becoming aye free.

Most of all, unlike before, no one already knew about Ray and Seto in the Guild, and there was widespread information that there were adventurers with aliases who were subjugating Griffon.

Some of those who come to Gilm even contemplate seeing Ray and Seto at first sight.

… Of course, there are other merchants who would like to approach Ray somehow.

Now the construction of the Guild will take place, which means that the number of people coming to the Guild is also increasing day by day.

In fact, if Gilm was brought closer by Seto's flying in the sky, it was also visible to Ray that many were lined up in front of Gilm's main gate.

"You're the same.... Well, it hasn't been that long since we left the Guild, and maybe it's natural."

It was not so long before Ray left for Count Lerduct territory.

... the speed of travel around it still has a lot to do with Seto.

Either way, Ray lands on the ground looking at a queue no different from when he leaves.

"Whoa!

A guard who was nearby or who was in the process of entering the guild raises his surprise, but the guard immediately sees Seto and realizes that he is Ray, exhaling in relief.

"Ray, don't threaten me too much."

"Oh, I'm sorry.... There's a lot going on here. We're going in."

That's what I told him, Ray walking into the guild, but the guards say nothing in particular.

"Hey, why does that guy get into the guild without going through the process!

A man lined up to go through the process looks at Ray and raises his voice of condemnation, but the guard calmly opens his mouth to such a man.

"Ray is freely getting into the guild without the process while the construction work continues. Well, that's all you're entrusted with an important role."

The man listens to the guards and is silent, although he was not completely able to quench his grievances.

Because that's how I understood that we needed the right kind of power to be treated that way.

Power in this case is not the only force that means combat power separately. Financial power, connections, and so on… I mean not just direct power, but various forces.

I mean, I guess the guy also understood that Ray has that much power.

... At the time Ray was on Ceto, it wasn't strange to understand that.

No, that's exactly what I understood. But you're right that you've been in line for hours to finally get into the city, but you've really put it out in your mouth when you see Ray telling you to go bare.

"Look, you're done with the process, so you can go inside. Now there's a bigger crowd in the guild than usual. Don't get caught up in every weird rub."

That's what they said, and the man nodded with a subtle unconvincing look and walked into the gilm.

"Oh, isn't that Ray? I haven't seen it lately, what's going on?

A gatekeeper in front of the Lords' Hall cries out when he sees Ray.

As before, there were merchants around who wanted to see Dusker.

Such merchants turn to Ray and gaze mixed with various emotions.

Apart from jealousy, many people send a lustful gaze, recognizing that they are the ones who become gold.

But Ray knows that getting involved with such a merchant can be a troublesome result, so he speaks to the gatekeeper without looking particularly concerned.

"I'd like to report the request to Master Dusker."

"... to Master Dusker?

I guess the gatekeeper wasn't asked about this request. Tilt his neck slightly to the words out of Ray's mouth, but the other gatekeeper opens his mouth.

"Okay. I'll tell him for now, just wait in the hall."

I know they would have told me to let only those who had errands in the hall, but Ray was exceptional in many ways.

It is heavily used by Dusker and the benefits and achievements he has brought to the Guild so far are not comparable to those of the merchants currently in front of the Lords' Hall.

He also understands that Ray doesn't like merchants... or more precisely the looming merchants.

Ray enters the hall, trying not to worry about the gaze from the merchants.

That's how Seto headed to the stables, as usual, and Ray was led to one of the reception rooms by a maid who explained the situation to the gatekeeper.

I guess the maid who knows what's going on also cared. There's no one else in the reception room where Ray was guided.

"Please wait while Dusker is notified immediately"

Placing the tea and baked confectionery, the maid leaves the room intact.

Dropping off such a maid, Ray looks around the room.

There is only a reception room, which is designed to allow visitors here to take their time.

That would be the same for things like paintings hung on walls and pots on shelves.

As always, such… the so-called kind of work of art is not that interesting to Ray.

But all of the magic items that Lerduct had were of art.

Because of that, Ray would have been more or less interested in you.

(If it's true, I would have liked a magic item such as a weapon.... you didn't come to me with a magic item like that in return for Real Duct's interest?

Maybe, even thinking so for a moment, I immediately shake my head to the side to deny that opinion.

It was a relduct that was losing both arms, stopping blood by the forceful means of burning the wound, and polluting the entire face with tears, runny nose and saliva.

Imitation of fitting Ray in such a situation was not very, but seemed unlikely.

It is conceivable that some time goes by and that increases hatred of Ray and goes into action...... but it was very unlikely that he would go into retaliation against Ray as soon as he was attacked.

Because if you have such guts, that's definitely why you didn't get such unusual results.

"Even so... what are you going to do with that magic item"

I took it from the Real Duct with the meaning of retaliation, but even if Ray had a magic item of sorts classified as a work of art, it doesn't make any particular sense.

No, it can be said that being stored dead in Ning Lo Mystering is harmful in that it keeps artwork out of people's eyes.

That's why I want to do something about it, but I wouldn't even be able to decorate Ray's accommodation, the wheat pavilion room at dusk.

In the first place, only very expensive substitutes as value have a good chance of being stolen if left in a detoured place.

Especially now that there is a large crowd of people who usually don't come to the Guild, the risk of theft is even higher.

... If you are a resident of Gilm, you will know that imitating Ray poorly is a suicide act, but many people don't know that right now.

Ray doesn't even bother to hang out with someone like that, so there's no way he can put it in the right place.

"Like a marina mansion?

If you're an extremely good Spirit Magic user marina, you can handle it in terms of protecting your magic items.

Also, in terms of caring for magic items, it won't take much work for Ray if you leave it to the marina.

I was thinking about selling it and replacing it with gold in the worst case scenario, but decorating the marina mansion seems like the best option.

When I'm done reporting to Dusker and to the guild, I try to talk to the marina about the area and think so... then the reception room door is knocked, as if waiting for such Ray's thoughts to come together.

Encouraging him to go inside, there was a maid there who had brought Ray here earlier.

"Excuse me. Master Dusker is ready."

"Okay."

Drinking up the remaining tea in the cup, Ray rose from his chair and was guided by his maid to the office.

"Oh, Ray. You've come back a lot. I didn't expect to fail, but I'm glad to see you're safe."

Ray bows his head small to a dusker with a full smile on his face.

"I think I've done the request completely for once.... I'm going to do more than just ask."

What Ray remembers is probably about the mine.

You collapsed and destroyed the mine, so you can say it's a pretty big feat if it's supposed to be.

... Although in the sense of being on the side of the kingdom of Mireana, it's not something I can pee on.

"Right. Then let me hear your report."

Encourage him to sit on the couch, and when Dusker also moves from the desk to the couch, that's what he says.

It seemed to Ray to have that look on his face, either without a heart or expecting an interesting story towards Ray.

There has been a lot of paperwork here lately, but I guess that's what I'm thinking about clearing up that depression with Ray's story.

"Right, what did I tell you from... First, on my way to Count Realdact territory, I helped a woman named Syrah who was taken away by an oak. So, since Syrah's father was from Count Lerduct territory, I was able to get a lot of information."

"… again, that's a very convenient flow"

The person who helped him on his way to Count Lerduct territory was the one who had fled from it.

If that's all you ask, it's natural for anyone to think it's convenient.

Ray would definitely think so, too, if people told him.

"Normally, you might have no choice but to think so... Jazz, according to Syrah's father, there was quite a heavy tax in Count Lerduct territory and a governance that deserved to be called repression"

"... aristocracy is the general way that nobility with noble blood leads the people..."

Nobles Obligations. Noble Duties.

Ray also touches on various subcultures when he was in Japan.

That's the word that came up sometimes at that time.

It is also understandable to Ray that the aristocrats are those who practice their Nobles Obriege.

Most likely, the result of this misinterpretation was politics as it had been done in Count Lerduct territory.

"Anyway, it seems that quite a few of them have escaped from Count Lerduct territory. If you think about it, maybe it's not that funny that I ran into jazz."

"... maybe. So, what else?

Encouraged to go ahead, Ray continues to report.

... It was surprising to Ray that Dusker showed some interest when it came to pots with river fish.
