"Ilse!? Why are you with Ray?
Ray and Ilse, returning from the Trent Forest to the Guild, were wondering if we could give them a piece of silver coin as a thank you to the man who forced us to go back and return the carriage, call Seto in, or go to the Guild and report back on Ajas...
In the meantime, I encountered... being asked to look around Gilm, it was Melane.
Unfortunately, is Melan a different group from Vihera today, and there is no such thing on this occasion.
(No, how many Vihelas are there and are extra entangled in melan? Well, given the current situation, it doesn't seem very different. even if...... melan)
From that name, Fu Ray remembers Melon.
Not so far from where Ray lived when he was in Japan, there were some of the best melon regions in the area.
I received melons from my parents' friends who lived there every year in the summer.
Sometimes it reminded me of Melon when I saw Melane that it's still summer.
Of course, not only did I get the melon unilaterally, but I made it at Ray's house and exchanged it for vegetables that I couldn't ship because they were shapely or slightly scratched.
Also, I can't ship the same melons that I get for granted.
What surprised Ray, by the way, when he heard about it before was Mellon...... especially with regard to the mask melons made in the area.
Mask melons are expensive as long as the outside pattern is complex.
That's not even the rarity of tens of thousands of yen in one if it becomes expensive.
However... the price difference is only a matter of pattern, and if you actually eat it, it is the same as tens of thousands of yen of melons that do not have a thousand yen pattern.
In other words, I've been surprised to hear that that outward pattern alone can make that much difference in price.
Of course, some farmers making that melon will taste different, and some people will taste different depending on the pattern, but as far as Ray ate the luxury items that his parents' friends fed him - but scratched and no longer sold - I didn't think there was a difference in sweetness.
I guess it also has something to do with Ray's tongue not being so sensitive to taste.
"Oh, hey! You're listening to me!
It was a hassle to hear Melan's words, Ray, who was putting his thoughts to Mellon's knowledge, but being so voiced returned to me and turned his gaze to those who spoke.
It was, naturally, Melanie who looked at herself in the open in frustration at the end of that gaze.
It was a hassle to listen to Melane and Ray was thinking about Melon, but I guess that didn't bother Melane.
He stares at Ray with a strong gaze.
"Hey, Melan. I said stop it. I don't want to rub it with Ray."
"That's right. Vihella tells you."
Some of the adventurers who are acting with Melan tell Melan to tell them.
It's not just that I'm worried about Melan.
Because I know Ray won't forgive his hostile opponents.
If Melan is certified as an enemy by Ray and we get caught up in it and are certified as an enemy by Ray together...
That's how we understood that we couldn't resist Ray no matter what we thought.
That's why I don't want to get caught up in Melan. That must have been the honest motive for trying to stop Melan.
But Melan can't be convinced that even if he gets frustrated with the attitude of his peers.
"Don't be ridiculous! In the first place, if Ray hadn't brought Ilse around, this wouldn't have happened..."
I guess this one was superfluous.
For Ilse, Ray is an alias armed adventurer, even if he is younger than himself.
Not to mention the person who is helping me with my revenge, even though Ray has no gain whatsoever.
Even today, there was nothing Ray should have had to take Ilse to the Trent Forest.
It was because of one incident today that Ilse was convinced that Ajas was an enemy.
I thought it was a vendetta from when I first saw it in the Alliance at first sight to be exact, but I didn't have that certainty.
But thanks to Ray, I was able to get confirmation today that Ajas is clearly an enemy to Ilse.
Also, isn't there a possibility of a difference? It is also significant that Ray, who had the question, was able to show evidence - circumstantial evidence - that Ajas is the enemy of Ilse.
So much so that Ray has done so much for me, Melanie is blaming Ray.
That's for your own good, too.
Even if you're staying in the same inn, that's all that matters in the end.
That's why Ilse couldn't tolerate Melane's attitude.
"Please shut up!
It's not that loud out of Ilse's mouth.
In fact, those walking around didn't pay that much attention to the Rays.
… There are also a few people who consider it to be some kind of trouble and see things around them as if they were interesting spectacles.
Either way, in such a situation, although not significant... it was Melan who was surprised that a sharp word was uttered instead.
"Ilse, what the hell are you mad at? Because you're forced by Ray to take me around..."
I don't see why I'm being looked at so sharply by Ilse.
If you put Melan's honest feelings into words, that would be the place.
Basically, only Meran, with a strong sense of justice, was blaming Ray for the perception that Ilse was being forcefully taken around by Ray.
Yet you never thought you'd be blamed from the victim's Ilse in this case.
I tend to be somewhat propitious, but until now Melan has rarely been rejected by his opponents so far.
So Melanie doesn't know why Ilse behaves like that to herself.
But... for Ilse, Melan can only be seen as an obstacle in his way.
Especially now, it would also be great to see the presence of Ajas in front of us.
And so, although I might have been able to flush Melanie's words normally, unfortunately, Ilse was getting somewhat excited and aggressive.
... No, I've seen my family's revenge, so maybe it's strange that it fits in to that extent.
"Please don't make an extra imitation. What if Ajas escapes because of you?"
"... ajas? Who?"
It is the enemy of Ilse, but I have never heard the name of a person named Ajas for Melane.
So who's Melanie? I asked back...
"My family's revenge."
Quiet...... I can't hear some people watching around me, and Ilse squeals in such a voice that it makes my spine cold for those who hear that voice while I'm there.
Fortunately, there would have been no ceto on this occasion.
That's why not many people could recognize Ray as Ray, because they decided it was just a contention between adventurers, and few watched how it went.
If anyone was concentrating on that exchange, there might have been someone who could have listened firmly to the words of Ilse and Meran.
Anyway, luckily for Ilse, few people are looking at the situation around them.
But... if we keep talking to each other excitedly here, we'll definitely get noticed from the surroundings.
Having so decided, Ray turns his gaze to a tavern a little further away.
(I don't want anyone else to talk to me if I can, so I guess I can talk in an inn room or something... not very much, but I don't think I'd accept that)
Speaking of going to Ray's room, there's no doubt Melan will rebel. Speaking of going to Ilse's room, I don't think Ilse would accept Melan as far as what's going on. If you say you're going to Melane's room, Ilse could refuse.
What Ray proposed as a compromise was to talk in a liquor store, although I wonder about the expression third party position…
"Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think I'd like that too."
"Oh. If we were talking in a place like this, the guards might come... and I don't know if outsiders like us would come in."
You don't want to get involved in the conversation between Ilse and Melan, and most importantly, in the trouble that Ray is involved in. All the other adventurers around the city with Melan tell them so.
Other adventurers who hadn't actually put it out in the words were also nodding to agree with the words.
Anyway, there are other words from face-to-face, and I was still on my way to work, but Melane goes to the tavern that was at the end of Ray's gaze when it meant taking a short break.
Throwing the job away on the way wasn't very funny for Melane either... but I guess I decided it wasn't the right time now.
"Heh... is this what's happening"
That tavern raises its voice just a little fresh when you go inside, because Ray was also the first place to go in.
Most importantly, the interior of the store is not so different from other taverns.
There are a few guests in the day, but that's not a particularly strange sight in the Guild again.
(Probably glad I left it in the tavern, not the dining room)
Sometimes it's still daytime, and when it comes to which is crowded, it would still be the dining room.
That's why I chose the liquor store I noticed, but Ray seemed to have fewer customers than he thought and most importantly.
"What's your order?
I guess it's because I'm still not busy in the day. To the Rays who arrive at the table, the owner of the liquor store, not the waitress, comes directly to pick up the order.
"Alcohol is fine. Fruit water or tea, and something to pinch properly for three."
If you don't order liquor in a regular tavern, you are often tangled up by the guests around you.
But fortunately, it's daytime now, and the number of guests in the tavern is low, and no one is swallowing beyond degrees.
It would also be significant that the customers knew about Ray, even if they didn't know about Ilse and Melan.
If you sell a fight to Ray in the middle of nowhere here, that's not all. I'm sorry.
That's why you don't come out with a bad little bit because you understand.
... Most likely, Ray, Ilse and Melan are wondering what the three of them are going to talk about, and some of them are making their ears clear.
When the shopkeeper places the fruit water and the fried nuts, he goes back to the counter.
After dropping it off, the first person to open his mouth was Melan.
"Ilse, I just heard some revenge."
I guess Melane's excitement has calmed down somewhat over time since we talked earlier as well. Ask Ilse as she reaches for fruit water.
In contrast, Ilse nods lightly without any particular hesitation.
"Yes, I've been looking for it for years, I found my family's revenge"
"For once, Ilse doesn't think about enemies or anything stupid like that, does she?
It was Melane asking in such a way as fear...... but against such Melane, Ilse opens her mouth instantly.
"What are you talking about, naturally"
"Oh, right. Whatever..."
It was Melane exhaling relieved by Ilse's words, but it solidifies in the next Ilse's words.
"Naturally you've decided to take revenge, haven't you? That's why I became an adventurer."
"Become!... Well, that's wrong! Hate, no! You can't do this!
Sounds all around, Melanie's voice.
Then naturally the other guests in the tavern can hear it, and some of the guests who heard the words turn their gaze to Melane... and to Ray and Ilse.
You don't even notice they're looking at you like that, Melan stops the hand he was trying to reach for fruit water and slaps the table.
The dull sound you hear around you.
Fortunately this tavern is often used by rough people like adventurers, so the table kind was sturdy.
That's it, even if Melan slaps the table full of strength, to the point that it won't break.
But Ilse opens her mouth without moving a particular expression on such a melan.
"Why?
"Vengeance is pointless. And not necessarily the family, friends, or lovers of the person who took revenge won't come back for revenge against Ilse."
That word is correct. True... but that is only the opinion of those whose own family, friends and lovers have never been killed by the malice of others.
In fact, Ilse could only feel Melan's claim being thin.
Some of the guests in the tavern nod as they agree to Melanie's words, while others mock her.
And Ilse...
"So, what's the matter? I have decided to take revenge. This determination will never be dull."
Yes, I told you.
