"Well, then I'll have a stewed oak meat and sandwich, along with a summer vegetable salad and fruit water."
"I'd like the same, please"
Ray and Ilse, who introduced themselves lightly and then went into the dining room, sit in the guest's seat where they left the store after eating just to be replaced and order quickly.
The waitress quickly cleaned up the dishes, etc. that the previous customer had finished eating, and quickly wiped them on the table, which is what made the table clean in the next few decades.
Ray was slightly surprised by that, but he sat in a chair after deciding that his skill at work was amazing.
... Note that Seto is already back on watch over the sky.
Naturally, Seto wanted to be with Ray, but from Ray's point of view, Ilse's nostalgia determined that she wasn't very good, but couldn't afford Seto.
(Well, I'm pretty sure not everyone's like Mileyne or Johanna)
I have more than a certain power, and I like Ceto while I'm at it.
Spend whatever money you earn on the request to love Seto... it was Ray that reminds me of those two faces, but I immediately turn my gaze again to the person in front of me.
I followed you because you wanted to eat, but I can easily imagine that you really wouldn't be willing to buy yourself a meal out of yesterday's apology or gratitude.
Ray opens his mouth, hoping it's an errand I can finish in time for the meal I asked for to come out.
"So? No way, you didn't really just invite me to dinner about yesterday, did you?
"I knew you'd understand, right?
Nor did Ilse think she could delude herself with it.
Agree lightly with Ray's words.
... Not many people in the cafeteria are gazing at Ray and Ilse, but Ray is used to being noticed or shuts up his gaze.
Ilse also ignored that gaze by scratching up the green hair that was cut around her shoulders, whether she had the awareness that she had just the beauty to attract the attention of a man.
Most of all, it seems that the type of gaze being directed at is different.
And in fact, that's not wrong.
For those of you who know what Ray is like, it was enough to hold all sorts of thoughts that Ray was with a stranger... and that it was also with a woman who was just enough to describe herself as beautiful.
Wild horse guts that what would happen if you saw a marina or vihella that was always around Ray talking to such a beauty.
Or jealousy as to why all Rays can be close to beauty.
The numbers are small, but there was also jealousy about Ilse, who was showing how close he was to Ray.
He was usually Ray in a dragon robe hood, but his face is neat enough to be called a female face.
Some of those who knew what Ray looked like had such a neat face but had a protective appetite for little Ray.
... Few people put that on the table.
In the first place, Ray is a celebrity in many ways in the Guild.
The rampage was also widely known.
Not to mention that there are some extinct beauties like Marina and Vihera all around Ray, so there's no way they can get close to Ray in a detour.
"Oh?"
Feeling a different gaze, Ilse tilts her neck slightly... decided that the feeling was probably her fault, she looks at Ray again and tries to open her mouth... but stops the word when she sees the waitress bring the dish.
Something like a few minutes after ordering until the food comes out?
The most ordered are stewed oak meat and sandwiches, summer vegetable salad and fruit water.
The simmering is naturally a substitute that can be made and placed in large quantities, and that would be the same for the salad. The sandwiches were not made in the store, but were purchased from the bakery under contract, and fruit water was naturally made and set aside if this was the season.
Finally, all you need is more time to serve than all the dishes have already been prepared.
With that in mind, I should say that it was only natural that they brought it in a few minutes.
"Uh... well, let's eat first"
Ray nods at Ilse's words telling him so and reaches for the sandwich.
It's quite a delicious sandwich, as you can see from the satisfaction of the guests leaving.
The slightly stricter evaluation may be related to the bukkake udon I ate earlier.
That's probably a sign that the udon was delicious.
There was still some dissatisfaction with Ray, especially that the fruit water was not cold and cold.
A magic item to cool down like a refrigerator can be very expensive.
If you think that the amount of sprinkled udon earlier was about three times more expensive than normal despite a single meal, you know how expensive that is.
Either way, the food served otherwise was quite flavorful, so I'm going to eat it without any particular dissatisfaction.
That's how he eats, and Ray talks to Ilse.
"So, what was your business with me after all?
"Mmm... Mogu... you know"
Swallow the simmering of oak meat that was in his mouth, Ilse turns a serious gaze against Ray.
As for Ilse, I would have liked to have talked in a more serious place rather than one like this if I could, but I open my mouth by deciding that I was lucky enough to get the chance to talk to Ray himself.
"That...... Mr. Ray heard that the other person doesn't particularly care even for nobles, is that true?
"I don't care because I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, excuse me. That's right. When you're hostile to a nobleman for any reason, you seem to hesitate, normally, but Mr. Ray doesn't hesitate to be hostile to a nobleman or anything."
"Right. Basically, you're right. Depends, of course."
The aristocracy is nothing but a clip to the story.
But still, it was also a pleasure for Ilse that Ray had no way of pulling even if the aristocrats were opponents.
In contrast to Ilse like that, does Ray have any idea what Ilse thinks of the aristocracy? Question.
Of course, if the hostile opponent were Elaine or Dusker, I wouldn't have been so easily and immediately hostile.
"Really?... Um, can I ask you on what basis, if anything, are you judging your enemies and allies?
"Whatever standards you say. Treat us friendly with friendly opponents over here, and hostile with hostile opponents. Sounds like it."
As I thought...... no, I think Ilse is just a little surprised and envious at the same time of how to discern enemy allies that are simpler and clearer than she thought.
If it were normal, you would think that even a hostile opponent would go out poorly and not be hostile if the opponent was noble. At least, Ilse should.
If you want to be killed against your bad... or you don't have to go that far, if you can't use your hands and feet or get hurt that would interfere with your life, you won't be able to get revenge.
Having a hostile reaction because you're a hostile opponent is what you can do because, after all, you're a powerful person like Ray.
That's why when Ray, who has that power, envies him from the bottom of his heart, he thinks so.
"Really?... To be honest, I envy Mr. Ray"
I guess that's why I've spoken words that I didn't otherwise need to speak.
And Ilse's mouth couldn't stop herself more than she once said.
"You won't be able to do everything, but most people have the power to do whatever they want. Now, I can live as I please. I really envy you from the bottom of my heart."
With that word, carry the sandwich into your mouth as if it were your own vendetta that you hold with your hands... eat a thousand slices.
When he swallows the sandwich in his mouth, Ilse opens his mouth again.
"If I only had the same power as Mr. Ray... then I would kill, kill, kill, kill that man right now"
With profound hatred in his eyes, Ilse thinks of his vengeance.
of tender parents and brother...... family feud.
I would never say that if I were always, but still talking to Ray like a fool can be an envy for the power Ray has, but it would also be huge that more than that, the revenge turns out to be in this guild.
While I was there, I guess I was more stressed than I had imagined that I knew I had a vendetta but couldn't get my hands on it.
"... apparently, there's a lot going on here."
That's what Ray tells me, even though he listened to all of Ilse's stories and wasn't directed at him while he was there, he kept eating like he cared nothing about it even though he had his hateful gaze pointed at him.
"Huh!?
To that word of Ray, Ilse understood that she meant what she meant… that's what she would normally say that would never be on the table.
Breathe small and hold your mouth still.
Not to mention that there are many other figures of adventurers in this dining room besides those who do chores for craftsmen and additions.
Some such adventurers are gazing at Ilse because they feel the murderous spirit he emitted.
But those people also go straight back to eating and talking when they find out it's Ray the woman is talking about.
If Ray is here, that would be an act of thinking, especially since it wouldn't be a major disturbance.
If you are so judged Ray notices that some adventurers have turned their gaze toward you and show a slightly dissatisfied attitude, it will soon disappear.
Because now, most importantly, I thought it would be a priority to hear from Ilse.
Most importantly, Ray wasn't interested in anything special about Ilse - specifically as a woman.
Either way, Ilse, gazed at Ray, takes a deep breath unaware that she was unconsciously murderous.
Killers can be more skilled to guess it for the first time, but Ilse doesn't have that much power today.
"Um, right. I'd like to ask Mr. Ray, what do you think of revenge?
I was supposed to ask about revenge more distantly, as I did when I heard about the nobles.
But you can say it's a later festival around here any more than you've put the real thing in your heart straight into your mouth.
(What I drank was fruit water, and I'm not drinking ale or anything... let alone if it was ale, I wouldn't be drunk to that extent)
Ilse manages to put up with wanting to roll around that area to her own lapse on the inside, waiting for an answer about the vengeance she asked Ray.
Such a ray opens its mouth without looking particularly nervous or thinking about it.
"Well, isn't that okay?
"... Huh?
That's probably because Ray's words, which he told me in a light way, were unexpected.
To date, I have asked others what they think of revenge.
But most people were saying something negative like that when revenge is meaningless, and it's an act that no one can be happy with, it's a bad thing.
Not all of them were, and a few were positive about revenge... but still, I guess they never thought they'd be as light as Ray to affirm the act of revenge.
So, Ilse looks at Ray right in front of her again.
... Normally, it's not strange to be able to stare at a beauty like Ilse... In Ray's case, there was no such thing as a rush because of the presence of Elaine and the others nearby.
"Is that really what you think?
"Oh, I've done revenge myself, so you can't stop someone else from doing it."
Most of all, Ray's revenge is not serious, like someone close to him getting killed...
I didn't know what kind of vengeance Ilse was talking about, but Ray was nevertheless acceptable for the act of vengeance.
(Basically, can a guy like Vengeance say that even if he actually sees the same guy he thinks of revenge? So if you can put up with yourself without getting hit, it's somewhat convincing to say no revenge)
From Ray's eyes, there was a perception that the vast majority of those who said it were those who said it in a place that had nothing to do with its revenge.
If you do poorly, it's not strange that you even have the shame to say that revenge is no good, even though you caused the noise of revenge.
Ilse must have had something to think about seeing how Ray was doing like that.
After all, he left the cafeteria after completing his accounting without saying anything more.
