Leaving the Lords' Hall, appropriately decorated with merchants who had tried to talk to several people, Ray headed with Seto to the guild.
On the way, some people were imitating things like watching Seto and giving him food or stroking him, but it didn't take that long until Ray and Seto arrived at the guild.
Like earlier in the Lords' Hall, Seto quickly leaves in front of the Alliance without Ray having to say anything.
Ray, who dropped it off, goes inside the guild.
I guess it's because it's daytime. Few of the guilds look like adventurers.
But in the liquor store, even during the day, there was the figure of those who had already drunk.
Ray turns to the counter, grinning unexpectedly at the same sight.
The receptionists notice Ray like that, and one of them speaks first.
"Ray, I'm back. When did you get back?
Kenny, the cat beast man, waves as he says so.
... Lenora, who was organizing paperwork next door, also looks up to Kenny like that.
"Mr. Ray, you're back. Aren't you hurt or something?
"Oh. I'm fine. It's been a lot of hard work, but the profits are pretty... the profits are... hmm."
I tried to say profits came out, Ray, but I'll stop that word on the way.
By profit in the pure sense, I would say that there is also the matter of the magic item you took away and it is completely black.
However, in this case, the benefit for Ray is still the kind of magic item you are collecting, or the demon stone of an unknown monster.
... even in terms of unknown monster demon stones, Ray remembers fu thinking.
(With that said, you hadn't drained any blood or done anything about the oul rabbit you caught before you went to Count Realdact territory.... well, that has nothing to do with this one)
Let's cook and eat later with Seto.
That's what I think, Ray opens his mouth again.
"Unfortunately, you got some money, but you didn't have what I wanted."
"Hmm. Well, Ray, what would you care if you weren't in deficit?"
Kenny interrupts Ray's conversation with Lenora.
But it was Lenora who blamed Kenny, if always, but she kept her mouth shut today.
Because Kenny had already finished his job.
(Maybe you were grasping Mr. Ray's coming today by the intuition of the Beastman or something?... Normally I can't think about it, but Kenny would convince me that they would say so)
Lenora also knows, naturally, that Kenny has romantic feelings for Ray.
If you ask me to support that, I feel a little subtle... but still, if I hear from my thoughts about Ray that I've finished my work today with a woman's intuition, I'm convinced for some reason.
"Anyway, please wait a moment. I need to report Mr. Ray's request to the Alliance Master."
"Oh, okay"
"Look, Lenora, just go report it. In the meantime, Ray, your opponent is mine."
I guess I'm glad Ray and I had time alone without thinking about it.
... Although, there are adventurers and guild staff in the guild even when it comes to being alone, it's quite different from being alone like Kenny thinks.
"Yes, sir. Then I'll go, so Kenny won't be rude to Mr. Ray."
That said, Lenora heads to the back of the guild.
Kenny, who dropped it off, talks to Ray quickly.
"So, Mr. Ray. Looks like this request went pretty far, but did you have any delicious food?
I don't ask about the request because I decided from the exchange between Ray and Lenora earlier that I shouldn't ask.
And I guess I chose the topic of cooking because I understand that Ray likes the act of eating.
Around here, Kenny also had a firm understanding of Ray's preferences because he and Ray had been dating for several years.
"Oh, actually, in the village I stopped by on the way to request, they fed me a pot of river fish, and this was pretty good"
"A pot of river fish? Then I guess I can eat anywhere..."
"Unfortunately, it seems that river fish used for that pan have a limited habitat. It's an elongated fish, but it was delicious enough for a riverfish."
"... heh. I'm a little interested."
Only Kenny, the cat beast man, naturally likes fish.
But naturally, the guilds are not along the sea, and the fish they eat basically become river fish.
Not that sea fish come in like salted or dried, of course, but prices jump essentially for minutes far from the sea.
More than that, it would be natural for river fish to be commonly eaten.
But it's true that for Kenny, even less, sea fish feels better than river fish.
River fish, even if they are pale, are inferior to sea fish in terms of pure body delicacies.
So it was only natural that Ray would be intrigued by the riverfish pot dish that he ate.
Kenny hears what the pot dish described by Ray was like and licks his lips.
It was an act that, if normal, was often taken as a colorful trick, but at least not the act of Kenny now was not colorful, but inspired by his appetite.
"Uh... you want some later? I'm getting every pot."
"Really!?
For Kenny, it was a great pleasure to have a pan dish of fish that he had never eaten... and that could also be eaten with Ray.
Eating a pot in the summer isn't something I think about a bit.
Still, if that means with Ray, that was also a pleasure.
"At a time like this, Ray, it would help if you had an item box."
Ray nods in agreement to Kenny's words telling him so.
Essentially, the region's specialty dishes and seasonal foods have a limited number of places and periods to eat.
But with Ray's mysterious ring, I could eat it anytime, anywhere.
It would be its ultimate thing to be able to eat Gamelion meat that shows up only in the winter all year round, and that also stays fresh.
Except, of course, if you ate all the dishes and ingredients in the mistering.
"If you say so, it'll help even this way.... I'll change the story, but did anything change while I was gone?
"Right. Ray, since you weren't around, it seemed like a lot of trouble, but it still seemed to work out. … it just seems like it's taking a while to bring wood from the Trent Forest."
"Uh... I guess"
Unlike Ray, who can put it in mystering and fly to and from the Guild in Ceto, we just have to adopt the method of having a dedicated carriage and bringing it in large numbers without that ray.
If you were a high rank adventurer, that seemed like an easy way to hold a tree you'd just felled with one hand, but there wasn't room in your current guild to turn a high rank adventurer to that.
"But it's not as easy as when you carry it, Ray, because Master Marina is using spiritual magic to help you, but it's getting somewhat easier, isn't it? Ning Lo, you think the Marina's cooperation is motivating the people?"
"Uh... I guess"
It was Ray speaking the exact same words as a few seconds ago, but the emotions that live there are completely different.
Somewhere, there was a mixture of frightening things.
But if you work with a luscious beauty like Marina, Ray could also understand that the men's belt basically sticks out.
"Oh, and... Ray, you could have used the magic of earthlineage, couldn't you?
To how Ray looks like that, Kenny changes the subject and asks about it.
Soil magic? and I was a confused ray for a moment, but I guess I remembered that my skills also decided to be magical. I nod back immediately.
Ray is inherently specialized in the magic of flames, and none of them are proper to any other attribute.
But Death Size Skills, that's what makes them a wide variety of substitutes.
To delude it, Ray decided that it was not as good as the magic of fire, and that other magic could be used as well. At least on the surface.
"I'm not that good at it, but not quite"
"Oh, you're so modest. I hear you can do what you want with a wide area of ground.
Ray quickly understood what skills were expected of Kenny's words.
Terrain manipulation skills that Death Size possesses.
Ability to center oneself and raise or lower the earth with a radius of fifty meters.
Even for those who use the magic of earthlineage, it's not that easy to use magic, but Ray can use it as a skill as he pleases.
For a wizard, it wouldn't be strange to want to say that the existence of such a ray is an anomaly.
Either way, Ray was sometimes seen as someone who, unlike its truth, could use the magic of the earth on a fairly large scale
"I mean, it's an additional-construction relationship, right?
"Yes, Ray, of course. I'm just gathering a bunch of other people who can use the same magic, not just you.... In that sense, Ray, I'm glad you're home today."
"I feel like I should have come home a little later"
To Kenny's words, Ray whines so somehow.
"Don't say that. If we break the wall, we have to move as fast as we can."
"Hmm? Oh, you're finally ready for that one?
Until not too long ago, various preparations were under way, such as breaking down a building near the wall or collecting the necessary materials for the construction of additional buildings.
Now, a lot of carpenters and craftsmen would have rubbed it with stories about how to proceed with the construction, but fortunately, the stories around it would have come together while Ray was gone from the guild.
"Yep.... I was supposed to have an opinion on whether to leave the handling to you after breaking down the wall, Ray, but I had an opinion on whether it was a little bit to depend on you, and whether to take the other adventurers' jobs away, and eventually someone else would do the processing over there"
"Really?... Well, I don't mind... Yeah, but I just want to get a bigger wall fragment or something, okay?
"Huh? Probably fine, but I'll ask the guy up there later.... but what are you going to do with that?
"I have a lot of uses."
For a flying ray, a huge substance… a substitute that doesn't matter if it breaks also can be a very powerful weapon.
Seto is always flying in the sky, at an altitude of 100 m.
What happens if I drop a giant fragment of the wall from that height... which you could call a splendid bombing.
Of course the dropped wall fragments don't explode or anything, so it's probably wrong to call them bombings, to be precise.
If an enemy is a group of monsters, or an army in some country, or a band of bandits that doesn't have to get that far, it can be a very powerful and effective means of attacking them.
Or, Ray is good at it...... no, fire whirlwind already synonymous.
If you mix the shards of the wall in it, it will be a vicious means of attack that rips the skin, chooses the flesh and crushes the bones.
I know you didn't grasp Ray's thoughts like that, but Kenny nods when you think about it a little bit.
"Well, Ray, if you're going to cooperate from yourself, I don't think that's a problem. Just don't try too hard because it's what other people do, okay? And Ray, I need you to do something after you break the wall."
"Oh, we should finally even the ground, right?
"Yeah.... of course others do, but I knew if I said magic, it would be you, Ray"
"No, that's buying me too much. If it's flaming magic, I'm confident, but honestly, I'm not that good at other magic."
Kenny turns his gaze to Ray's words.
I've never even seen Kenny exactly how much magic Ray can use.
But still, if you listen to reports and rumours, you can easily imagine what kind of substitute it is.
It's not a joke or anything, isn't there anyone who can use magic just beyond Ray?
I guess he's the only one who doesn't know that's what's spoken like a half-firm among adventurers in the Guild.
Most of all, more adventurers are coming to the guild now than usual, so it's not surprising that there are idiots involved in Ray who don't know the area.
"Anyway, Ray, I know you'll be burdened with a lot of things, but the rewards will have what they deserve..."
It was Kenny who tried to keep saying that, but unfortunately he sighed when Ray and I finished our alone time seeing Lenora back.
