A few days after Ray said and argued with Melan...... after that day there will be too much time for peace, without any particular major disturbance.
Of course, when it comes to peace, it means that there will be no major disturbances, although things such as the approaching of Martz interested in Ray's magic and magic items if he heads to the scene where he is building a new wall, or the first sight of someone new to the Guild falling in love with Marina and Vihera.
Such peaceful days flowed, but at the same time the days of continuous mid-summer heat were steadily depriving the inhabitants of the Guild of their strength.
Most of all, the faces of the Red Lotus wings, with Rays wearing dragon robes capable of simple air conditioning and marinas capable of cooling their surroundings by spiritual magic, were cool at night.
Even now, as usual in the garden of the Marina house, the faces of the Red Lotus Wings, together with Elaine and Ara, eat.
Elaine and Arla, who were at first surprised by the kiln of magic items that Ray had removed from the mystering, also immediately understood how to use that cookware, and now even used the kiln to do an easy dish.
During the day, when Ray and the others are at work, Elaine and Arla will mostly be free.
Except for the story if there is someone who has really been asking for a reason, but no one who meets with me wanting to get acquainted said they have important business to do.
… but gaining acquaintance with Elaine was probably an important matter for him.
For that reason, I had been supposed to do some cooking in my spare time lately.
If normal, it basically doesn't mean that noble children cook.
Except for things like making sweets out of hobbies, or if it's because you're poor and can't hire cooks or maids.
But...... fortunately, Elaine and Arla are knights and soldiers.
It was not uncommon to lead my men to the battlefield, and in doing so I knew the basics about cooking.
Thanks to this, there was no such tragedy as a hell of a salty dish or the wrong salt and sugar as Ray saw in the comics when he was in Japan.
Seasonings like salt, sugar, and pepper are quite expensive.
If I had used that in vain by mistake like a comic book, Elaine and Ara would have had marina thunder.
"Well... what do you say? I think I'm getting used to cooking in this kiln."
On the table, looking at the face of the red lotus wings eating the whole roasted bird meat - especially Ray among them - Elaine asks in such a way as to be terrified.
Even Elaine, who was roasted whole with mountain birds but is to some extent cooking basics, in the end the basics are only basic.
The skin of the mountain birds was torn, the flesh torn, and ingredients such as nuts, vegetables and mushrooms packed inside were slightly visible, though.
Still, the dish made by Elaine means that the others eat it looking delicious, starting with Ray.
In fact, the fire has not failed that much, and the meat has a light scorch, and there is nothing raw inside.
It looked like a beginner's thing, but it was delicious enough in the sense of flavor.
Especially if the sauce is made from sour fruit or if it is a bird meat dish, you can enjoy a refreshing aftertaste.
Of course, there will be a lot of places to point out if you were truly a gastronomer.
But Ray likes good food, but he doesn't have that much of a delicate taste.
Marinas and vihelas are used to cooking called gastronomy by their position, but it's not as wild as saying it in this setting.
"Yeah, I think it tastes good enough. Especially the acidity of this sauce goes with meat"
"Right. But the next time I make it, I'm glad you're packing more mushrooms inside."
"Oh, yeah? I'm good enough for this... well, I guess it's a personal difference around here"
"Mmm."
Ray, Vihera, Marina and Buune each share their culinary thoughts.
Roughly praised, Elaine exhales a sigh of relief.
Ara watched such Elaine with a grin.
Of course not that Ara originally cooked and taught Elaine that...
Still, there was a merciful smile because everyone was happy to eat Elaine's cooking.
It was a great pleasure for Arla that my dear Elaine was pleased.
"Cu! Cu! Cu!
The same was true of its user demon, Yellow, who is delighted to eat the dishes made by Elaine.
... beside such a yellow, Seto sounds sorry for his throat.
Of course there were dishes made by Elaine before Seto, but in this case the problem would have been the size of Seto.
For Seto, who is three m long, the whole roasting of birds was too little.
No, if Seto could eat everything, it would have been a bit of a belly addition.
However, the dishes made by Elaine are divided into everyone who was on the spot.
It was only natural that that would result in less ceto allocation.
Still, Seto tastes such a small amount of food.
"I'm sorry, Seto. I would have liked to cook a little more if I could... but with my arms I could only make this much."
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Seto sounds fine and throats at Elaine's seemingly sorry words.
In fact, I couldn't really eat Elaine's handicrafts called Whole Grilled Birds, but many other dishes are also on the table, because they are also prepared before Seto.
With that in mind, it was still somewhat unfortunate not to be able to eat only Elaine's dishes, but it is not something like this that stands out so much.
Thus, the Rays enjoy their meals.
On a midsummer night, the garden at the marina's house is very cool, despite the fact that the pizza kiln is nearby.
In many parts of Gilm, the heat still remains in the middle of summer, despite the setting of the sun.
If Ray felt that temperature directly, he would describe it as a nearly thirty degree tropical night.
However, the garden of the current marina house has a fairly pleasant temperature.
Physically, that would be as much as a little over twenty degrees.
He was also proving how convenient the spiritual magic used by the marina was around the area where heat from the pizza kiln was also completely blocked around.
That's why the Rays are comfortably capable of amazing even on such a tropical night.
... still, naturally, the horse who was carrying the carriage that Elaine and Arla came on also keeps in its favour.
No matter how many horses have been rigorously trained as military horses, they are no match for the heat of summer.
In that sense, it could be said that the environment of this garden, where you don't have to do summer bats, was the best for the horses.
For the few other people who could use a magic item for cooling that way, the Rays were in an environment that could be described as very envious.
"So you figured out what Ilse was talking about in the end?
At the end of the meal, Ray asks while sipping cold fruit water or tea, the marina nods back when she swallows fruit similar to a mango.
The way the fruit juice conveys the throat and swallows the fruit is very lustrous.
But he doesn't care about that, he opens his mouth.
"It's not complete yet, to a certain extent. He was quite prominent in the breeze of snake tattoos on his left hand, so it seemed pretty easy to find out."
"... Well, I guess so"
The very existence of tattoos does not mean that it is so rare.
But still, if it's a snake tattoo like it's entangled in your left arm, it stands out, naturally.
So it didn't take much time for the man Egg ordered to investigate to identify and investigate the subject.
Still, it took some time to identify the subject and then look into it, and it was today that I got the results.
"Rank D Adventurer, Ajas. You're a longsword user, and as you can see from that rank, you seem to stand quite an arm. I just haven't had a problem since I came to the guild."
"That's all you hear, you just sound like a normal adventurer"
Elaine whines over a cup of tea, listening to a man named Ajas explain.
"Right. In fact, the reputation around us seems pretty good."
"If you ask only there, it's not very much, but it doesn't seem like a feud for Ilse's family?
"Reflecting on your sins and correcting them? As far as Ilse is concerned, it's impossible."
I nod to the words of Vihera so that everyone who was on the spot would agree.
Did you understand what was going on around you like that, or is it just somehow because your surroundings were snorting... both Seto and Yellow, were snorting.
"I guess. I wouldn't say none of us have the possibility to correct it, but don't you think it would be so easy for someone who once learned to make it easier... In fact, if you really regret what you've done, you'll be in the Guard."
Of course the person so far...... it's more than just where Ajas has been on the case, even if he turns up badly, he could be executed on the spot.
But really... if that's what you regret doing from the bottom of your mind, it's not weird to do that much.
That's what I tell you, Ray, but those who were listening tilt their necks.
"Really? If I regret it, if I may die, I don't think it's strange to realize I'm scared."
Both Elaine and Marina nod at Vihera's words whining strangely.
The only one who didn't agree with that was Bühne, but that Bühne doesn't listen, she's just obsessed with tasting the fruit on the table.
"Is that what this is all about?... Whatever. If that Ajass is not reflecting on anything, what do you think it means to behave correctly now?
I guess Ray didn't really think that someone named Ajas was really correcting either.
There is no further detention, and we move on.
"That's right. For someone with a snake tattoo on their left hand, that's a bit of an inappropriate word."
"Well, when I say behavioral correction, I don't actually mean to take care of other adventurers or anything. We don't have any extra problems in the Guild right now, we just focus on our work, that's enough behavior."
Given the current situation of the guilds, where many adventurers are gathering, there is much to be convinced of Marina's words.
Ray, who was listening to the conversation between Vihella and Marina, then wonders why he keeps himself out of trouble.
And I'll get to that answer right away.
"I mean, don't you want to make a problem right now and do a standout imitation?
"I guess."
I guess I was coming to the same conclusion as Ray expected like that. Marina nods as she reaches for the fruit again.
"Is it likely that, after all, I didn't correct it, I was up to something so that it wouldn't be discovered...?
"But... what are you up to in the current guild? I know what Vihella's trying to say, but there are a lot of adventurers in the Guild right now... they're gathering power, aren't they? Whatever happens there, it's the two dances of the Real Duct."
I actually discussed the Real Duct - although I didn't kill it - just Ray's words, and I can see for real there.
If you plot anything, you'll definitely be too repressed if you get your hands on Gilm in the present situation.
"Hmm, I doubt it. As Ray says, Gilm now has a lot of fighting power in many ways. I don't think there's much more we can do about it than that.... how about once Ray comes into direct contact with Ajas to upset the other side?
"... me?
Ray is surprised by the exact words from Elaine.
Because I thought if Ajas was up to something, if he made contact there, he'd be on guard.
"I know what Ray is worried about, but isn't that up to the way you make contact? If it feels like accidental contact, I don't think they'll be so vigilant."
"Now, is there any chance that my contact might cause me to make some movement?"
Elaine nods at Ray's words whining.
"But maybe there's a chance that Ajas will escape?
Vihera speaks differently of Ray's contact.
But Marina, who was listening to Elaine and thinking about something, opens her mouth to argue with it.
"No, it might be a good idea for Ray to make contact. I think it makes sense for Ray to try to deal with it directly, not just peddle the information he's been getting around from Dusker.... How's it going?
Ray thought a little bit about the words… eventually he nodded.
