Legend

About an hour after Elaine and Arla came to the site where they were doing the additions.

It was lunch break and I thought we'd talk fast... but as a matter of course Elaine caught the attention of those around her.

It is also known to be a symbol of the aristocracy, so it would be natural.

And I even see the sight of Ray and Elaine hugging each other, so I couldn't care less.

Still, no one imitated talking to Elaine directly, because there were times when everyone held back on each of them and waited for someone to talk to them before themselves, and most importantly, they felt what even a person named Elaine had, something to call prestige.

Of course some adventurers in the Guild emit similar authority.

If you are an alias or high-ranking adventurer, you have more or less such air or atmosphere.

Especially Dusker, who is ruling the Guild, would be typical of that.

Either way, Ray and Marina followed the scene with Elaine while everyone hesitated to talk to her for such a reason.

"... I, too, wanted to talk to you for a second"

Several people will hear Firma, who is somewhat close to Ray, whine a little bit unfortunately.

And after the construction site, the Rays were having lunch in a private room in the dining room a little further away.

Even in a dining room, that's not the kind of dining room that sells things like cheap and early, like taking the time to eat, a kind of luxury store.

Usually, both Ray and Marina can buy their meals appropriately around there.

This was due to the fact that even the dishes sold in the stalls were delicious enough, but also because they preferred the act of eating with ease.

It is naturally for two people, Elaine and Arla, that such rays and marinas are dining in such luxury stores only today.

... Still, Seto and Yellow never showed up on this occasion after all.

Most of all, if it's about a meal, it won't kill you to pull out the ceto or the yellow.

Besides, if you're hungry, Seto can hunt monsters and animals around and fill your belly, so Ray... and Elaine, who knows how close Seto and Yellow are, wasn't worried.

"Well... for the first time in a long time, cheers!

Cheers!

To Ray's words, lightly bump the cups that Elaine, Marina and Arla each had.

Though most toasted, the one in Ray's glass is cold fruit water, and the other three are also wine diluted with cold water.

Regardless of what Ray doesn't like about alcohol, other than that, given what happened in the afternoon, there was no reason to drink alcohol like at dinner here.

"Well, the formal welcoming party will be at night.... I'm sure Vihera would love to see Elaine's face."

"I'm sure you'll be happy... but isn't that because a good enemy showed up?

Everyone who was listening to it unwittingly convinces me of Elaine's words, who knows her preference for fighting Vihella.

Marinas also have considerable strength in the sense of combat, but basically they use bows and spiritual magic to predominate in ranged attacks.

In that regard, Elaine, who uses the connecting sword Mirage as a weapon, goes well with Vihera, who specializes in melee combat.

... Ara is the best thing in the sense of combative compatibility, but unfortunately, in Ara's case, strength is not purely far from Vihera.

"I guess so. Looks like Ray and I are fighting each other in the morning training..."

The marina squeaks with her gaze at Ray, who is tasting the oak meat stew quickly, but if you say so, a large chunk of meat...... she was still tongue-in-cheek at the feel of the meat fiber cutting lightly.

Swallow the meat in its mouth, Ray opens his mouth.

"What I'm doing is training. Vihera can't be serious either, so I don't think she's too athletic or dissatisfied."

"Hmm, then it's still going to be me fighting Vihella"

Elaine's tone doesn't seem particularly troublesome.

No, Ning Ro, there was even a light joy.

Even though there were few opponents against the strength of Elaine originally, the inheritance of the Enchanted Dragon's Demonic Stone made her one step more… or two, up the stairs of strength, Elaine couldn't find the opponent of the simulated battle that way.

Of course, it doesn't mean he's not here at all.

But still, I'm pretty sure it's less than before.

Whatever basic training Ara also has, it's really not enough when it comes to mock warfare.

It went too well with Arla, who is basically good at fighting with that rigidity, and Elaine, who fights with an emphasis on speed and skill.... No, should I describe it as too bad in this case?

Either way, for such Elaine, the simulated battle with Vihella could be said to be where Ning Luo wants it.

It was the Rays who were talking about Vihera who wasn't here for a while, but eventually the topic moves on to something else.

"Did Elaine come to Gilm because of one of the Real Ducts, after all?

"There's that too. … but more than that…"

Elaine expresses her dissatisfaction by making her cheeks thin and red as she listens to Ray.

Seeing Elaine's attitude like that, Ray also had to realize that his words had failed.

"Uh... with that said, I wonder where the yellow was"

"You said you were playing with Seto, Ray."

Tell Ray to whine deceptively that the marina is probably mixed with a twitch.

"Lord Ray, I thought I grew up a little while ago..."

Ara groans so too, frightened by the exchange between Ray and Elaine.

"... I'm sorry"

In the end, all Ray could do was apologize honestly for doing so.

"Never mind. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm here to see Ray, and it has something to do with the Real Duct thing, but it doesn't mean I don't have any other business. To reduce the distrust between the aristocrats and the neutrals."

"... I see"

Even as I nod at Elaine's words, isn't that a little hard for Ray? There were also thoughts.

No, Ning Ro, you can tell me that thought is stronger.

Aristocrats are those with very high pride.

From Ray's point of view, though many misunderstood pride and arrogance.

Together, many would find it uninteresting to forge friendly relations with neutrals for such aristocracy.

Not to mention that, for this reason, if we imitated the symbol of the aristocracy, the dispatch to Gilm of Elaine with the alias of General Princess, it was only natural that there would be more disgruntled than less distrust.

(No, Ning Ro, is that what you're after?

For the Duke of Kelevel, who leads the aristocracy, it is to be welcomed that the forces are large, but those who tend to run wild with their own discretionary judgments, like the Real Duct, are the only ones who are harmful to Ning Lao.

Isn't that the purpose of searing out such opponents? That's what I thought for a moment, Ray, but in the end there's nothing like mouthing that question.

"So how long can Elaine stay in the guild?

"It's not firmly decided, but it's going to be quite a long time...... right. But if something big happens, we need to get our hands on it."

"Right!

I hear Elaine is in the guild for a long time, and a happy voice rises from Ray's mouth.

I've been using a pair of orbs to have conversations quite often before, but I guess it's still huge that we can actually see each other this way.

"Hmmm... sounds so happy"

Watch Ray rejoice and the marina tells him with a little envy.

I guess I envy the joy of meeting Ray for the first time in a long time like this, basically just Marina acting with Ray.

Most of all, I envy the marinas and vihelas that Elaine usually acts with Ray.

"Right. If you're happy or not, I'm happy."

Elaine seemed happy when she was told she was happy to meet herself with dignity, and the marina who saw it sighs small.

"Well...... nevertheless, Red Lotus Wings? That party name sounds like Ray."

Change the subject as the illuminated Elaine panicked.

I guess seeing how Elaine was like that fixed Marina's mood, too. When you take the dried fish on the plate at hand, unwrap it and then place it on top of the bread and transport it to your mouth.

"Oh, I think it's a good party, too.... I wish I could have had Elaine among those party members"

"Pfft, don't say you can't"

It was Elaine who was blushing her cheeks with the lights, but did you return them to me in Ray's words, with a grin... an unfortunate grin, and I tell her so.

Elaine would also like to work as an adventurer with the Rays if she could.

But there's no way I can imitate that in my current position.

Because General Princess is also a symbol of aristocracy.

But... someday.

Some Elaine, naturally, had such thoughts.

Normally it would be impossible to imitate that aristocratic nobles act as adventurers.

However, Elaine's lifespan has also grown as a result of her inheritance of the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone.

And Ray, Marina and Vihera also have a longer life span than normal humans.

... Only Bühne is a normal person, but it is temporary that Bühne originally belongs to the wings of the Red Lotus, and it is certain that he will fall out of the wings of the Red Lotus not so far away.

Given the circumstances around it, it was possible that I could do enough to act as a member of the Red Lotus Wings now but in the future.

"With that said, where are Elaine and Arla staying? It's not that easy to get a room at any inn now, is it?

Many humans are pouring in with the addition of guilds, and the majority of the cheap lodgings have no more vacant rooms, and that's the same in mid-sized lodgings.

As they were pushed out, those who would normally stay in the lodging there would stay in more luxurious accommodation.

Some of them are well-guided and are friendly with the inhabitants of the Guild and rolling into the house… Naturally, there are not many of them.

Or if Gilm knew him from the beginning, he could make the house an inn.

In Elaine's case, however, it was certain that imitating her like staying in an aristocratic mansion would be troublesome in many ways.

It is visible that those wishing to meet with Elaine will continue.

They're telling me to stay in the Lords' Hall.

"Oh, to Dusker?... Then why don't you come to my house?

"... at the marina's house?

"Yeah. I live on the edge of the aristocratic city, but I'm the only one with a big house."

Marina houses would be smaller than other aristocratic houses in the aristocratic district.

But other noble houses… No, the mansion is inhabited by various servants, beginning with maids and deacons, besides the Lord of the mansion… in some cases even private soldiers.

By comparison, Marina's house is the only one that lives there.

The management of the house also does not require any other manpower, especially when it comes to this because the marina does it with spiritual magic.

As a result, the marina's house has quite a few extra rooms.

At least, if Ara and Elaine are enough to stay, there's no problem.

When I hear an explanation from the marina around it, Elaine wonders if she also cared about it, putting the bread she had on the plate and turning her gaze to Ara.

"Ara."

That one word alone would tell what Elaine wants to say because of the length of the relationship.

"Right, I don't think there's a problem.... No, in the sense of not burdening Master Dusker, wouldn't that be helpful?"

"Uh... right. 'Cause Dusker's busy with everything."

When I went to the Lords' Hall on a little errand a few days ago, I guess I remembered the merchants who were gathering there. Smudge and marina squeak.

"Hmm, so nothing wrong? Well, let's just say I'm supposed to stay at the marina's when I'm done eating. Yeah, with that said, I'm on a carriage to Gilm, is everything all right around there?

"Yeah, there's a stables for once.... I haven't used it in a while, so I'll need to clean it before I use it."

I would normally need manpower here, but in the case of marinas, spiritual magic would do it in no time.

(That's probably why you can clean the stables with spiritual magic even from here?

Eating skewers, Fu Ray thought that... but for some reason the marina had smiled and looked at herself, so she closed her mouth like a shellfish.
