Finding Ray, who came into the guild, Kenny, the receptionist, grins.

Ray comes when the Alliance Master worker has errands and Lenora isn't around, he says he's lucky.

... but seeing a beauty with green hair with Ray gave me a slightly dissatisfied look.

But Ray doesn't seem to notice Kenny's dissatisfaction like that at all. He goes to the Alliance counter... naturally to where Kenny is, beyond the absence of Lenora.

"Kenny, where's Lenora?

"If you're Lenora, you're going to the Alliance Master. He's got some business to attend to.... So, Mr. Ray. Who the hell is that beauty over there? Client?"

A client would be fine.

It was Kenny asking Ray with that thought, whereas Ray shook his neck sideways.

"No, it's not. I just wanted to ask Lenora or Kenny something."

"... what do you want me to ask? Could he be a new member of the Red Lotus Wings?

That's what Kenny asks, looking at Ilse.

The dissatisfaction had already disappeared from Kenny's face like that, and questions had arisen.

Kenny also sees many adventurers as the guild's receptionist.

As such, he had eyes to such an extent that he could measure their strength, even to some extent.

From such Kenny's point of view, Ilse with Ray, not very much but on Red Lotus Wings...... didn't seem to have all the ability to belong to Rank B Party.

Most importantly, if it doesn't deserve rank, so does Bühne, but in Bühne's case, it has something quite high in terms of combat power.

From Kenny's point of view, there was no doubt that Bühne had a higher fighting power than Ilse.

That's why I don't agree much if that person goes into the wings of the Red Lotus.

That's what I thought.

But behind Kenny's thoughts like that, Ray shakes his neck to the side.

"No, it's not like I'm a new member of Red Lotus Wings. But I'm pretty sure there's something I'd like you to do for Ilse."

"... a story that people shouldn't ask me?

"If I could."

I guess Kenny also decided it wasn't some kind of joke about how Ray was doing.

Speak up to the receptionist nearby as he sees what's going on around him.

"I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you, Ray, so I'm leaving."

"... hmm. I hope I'm not too busy right now. But come back as soon as you can."

Many of the adventurers just do their jobs each, and the number of adventurers in the guild is low now during the day.

Most importantly, it was a comparison in the morning and evening, and the number of adventurers was clearly higher than during the day before the usual construction of the additions.

"Yeah. I'll be back as soon as I can.... and when Lenora gets back, will you tell her we went upstairs?

That's right. When he asks for a message, Kenny takes Ray and Ilse upstairs to the guild.

Come on in.

Instead of the large conference room that Kenny had used a few times before, it was a small one like one party would use... about six tatami room in Ray's perception.

There are several tables and chairs for meetings.

"Sorry, I wanted to use the bigger room if I could... now the other room is a little unusable"

"Can't use it?

"Yep. Look, there's a lot going on with the construction..."

If you say so, Ray was convinced too.

I don't know exactly what kind of people are using it, but I still wonder if those involved in the construction of the additions are occupying it.

"That's fine. I'm not saying I don't like being in a big room.... Ning Lo, I don't know if I would use such a large room even though it's the three of us"

I guess I was happy with the words that came out of Ray's mouth. Kenny grins and nods.

"I'd be glad to hear you say that.... So, what's an errand?

Ray and Ilse also open their mouths as they sit in the chair to Kenny, who encourages them to talk.

"Actually, there's something I need you to help me with."

"Cooperation? Well, Ray, I can ask you most of the questions if you want.... Could it be dangerous?

Kenny, the receptionist, naturally knows how awesome Ray is as an adventurer.

But I could imagine that that ray would ask me to help him, so it wasn't natural to be half-baked.

Could there be another big conspiracy swirling around?

He was Kenny asking his chest about such anxiety, but Ray opens his mouth without showing any particular nervousness.

"Ajas... you know the adventurer? Rank D Adventurer's"

"... ajas? Uh, wait a minute."

To a name that suddenly came up, Kenny closes his eyes to try to remember that name.

That's how I thought a little...... eventually I remembered, and I smiled.

"Is that someone with a snake tattoo on their left hand?

"Yes, that's it."

When the word snake tattoo came out, Ilse, who was listening next to Ray, shows her how nervous she was for a moment, but she decides to leave this place to Ray... or if she wants to say something about Ajas, she thinks it's going to be dramatically elevated, or whatever, now she's silent.

"Well, what happened to Mr. Ajas? It's not particularly conspicuous, it's not like you're handsome, is it?

If it is a village in the countryside, it is not strange that it is also the best skilled in the village if it is to be a Rank D adventurer.

But this is the Gilm on the border.

In a land with a large crowd of skilled adventurers, it is not uncommon for a Rank D adventurer to be treated as an ability below average… in some cases.

It would still be a big left-hand snake tattoo that Kenny remembered his opponent, who could be called an elephant as such.

"It's that ajas. I'd like to act together once and for all if I could. Can't you figure it out?

"Huh? Isn't that impossible?

Lightly...... that's what Kenny dismisses Ray's opinion at the rate he deserves to call it half-reflective.

"Can't you?

"Right.... Yeah, I figured it'd be a little hard. In the first place, Ray, you're a celebrity in the Guild, aren't you? In what name would someone like that act with a Rank D Adventurer?"

If you say so, Ray can't argue either.

Normally, a high-ranking adventurer with an alias would naturally behave with a Rank D adventurer because it's a pretty special situation.

Of course, if they were originally adventurers they knew Ray, it's not uncommon to act together in Conne, but not this time.

Ray heard from Ilse, or knows about Ajas from information gathered by the Eggs, but Ajas doesn't know about Ray.

No, I know you know exactly, but should I describe you as having no direct knowledge?

For that reason, I have to say that it's hard to get Ray and Ajass together... and that's what Kenny has to say.

"Can't you do something about it?

"Ugh, um... well... Ajas, I don't think I can do this alone, but maybe I can if you mean putting together a bunch of other adventurers and letting them act with you, Ray. I just think in that case, it's gonna be a lot of trouble, right?

"Boring?"

Ray tilts his neck to Kenny as he tells him something's caught in his back teeth.

But Kenny keeps explaining, screaming heartily at Ray's attitude like that, while keeping it out of the table.

"Yeah. If you're an adventurer who's been in the Guild for a long time, Ray, I know what your personality is, so I don't think many people would be dumb enough to imitate you anymore"

Still not saying he's not there, I guess Ray's appearance still affects a lot.

Is he aware of that, too, just exhale a caged sigh of half giving up and saying nothing more?

Kenny opens his mouth again as he grins at how Ray looks like that.

"But some of the people who came here for this addition work, Ray, your rumors... they only know it because of the deep red rumors. That's probably why some people act strange with their own assumptions."

"I guess."

In fact, Ray has been involved in several adventurers, or not even adventurers.

Rumors of deep red are that you burned down all the troops of the Bestian Imperial Army by yourself, or that you will not condone anything even if your nobility is your opponent.

If you hear that rumor, no one would normally think about giving Ray a little bit of a fling.

But... in the end, none of those who have the idea of rumors have come to the Guild.

Inside, there are still a handful of people who think that the rumors are intentionally spread by Ray himself... or that all Ray's achievements are due to having a Griffon ceto.

What would those people do if they had the chance to encounter Ray... that was something that I just didn't want to think about for Kenny.

Most of all, that's because I worry about Ray, but it's a lot more because even the idiots involved in Ray are a necessary workforce for Gilm today.

When working on the construction of the guilds, the workforce is as good as it should have been.

Because if you have more manpower, that's how quickly you can complete the addition to your guild.

Most of all, too many people are having trouble staying in places where people come.

Naturally Dusker can't leave the area alone any more than it is meant to gather a lot of labor.

Currently, buildings were being maintained in several parts of the Guild so that they could be used as accommodation as soon as possible.

Use empty houses that nobody uses as temporary accommodation.

It was a pretty forceful method that Dusker could do because he was Lord of the Guild.

... Whatever, there was no better way to deal with Ray than with those who were in the Guild from the beginning than that many people were gathering in the Guild.

You could describe something called Ray's scare that doesn't look like it, as someone who hasn't and hasn't actually felt it.

"But you don't have to worry. Unless you do something unscrupulous, it'll be easy here."

"... Ray, in your case, I can't believe it's a tranquil one."

Kenny had a strong crush on Ray, but even Kenny like that doesn't mean he totally believes Ray's words.

This is also because what Ray has done so far is affecting... so to speak, Ray deserved it.

"Anyway, if you mean putting ajas in a bunch of people, you got no problem with that, right?

"Yeah. Fortunately... I don't know how to say this, because we've been talking about being understaffed in the Trent Forest lately. If it feels like a pull rate, I think we can work it out."

"Better in the Trent Forest? There's quite a few of them over there, and if the adventurers have time, they're cutting trees, right?

You will receive a commission as an escort, and you will receive more money if you cut more trees on it.

Try being an adventurer and you'll get paid a lot.

Ray recognized that Trent Forest was one of the most popular spots.

When asked about it, Kenny shakes his head to the side to deny it.

"I used to be, but that's a story based on the assumption that monsters don't show up in the Trent woods, right?

"Does that mean it's different now?

"Right. Is it correct that it is getting different... Little by little, but the monsters are starting to come out. And then, naturally, adventurers have to escort them as requested, right?

"I guess."

"... well, some adventurers were obsessed with logging trees because they thought they didn't have to escort them..."

"Wow."

To Kenny's words, Ray raises a voice of surprise.

My job as an escort is for me as an adventurer, and the felling of trees is only a precursor.

Even so, being blinded by the additional compensation and not doing my original job was impossible, normally.

"Naturally, the adventurer can no longer take requests from Trent Forest."

Still, there are many other jobs besides the Trento Forest, and even such adventurers have to use it… it is the current situation of the Guild that must be used.

Of course, they are terrible in the true sense of the word… If that is the likeness of Ajas, who seems to be the enemy of Ilse we are talking about this time, even Gilm has to strike a lot of hands.

"What do we do? I think this is good for now."

"... please"

To Ray's words, Ilse gave a deep thank you.
