Legend

I want you to go to Labourina Country.

Yeah, Dasker told me. Ray was stronger at the thought that it was after all.

One case of Ajas, I was pulling threads behind it - I had ordered it to be exact - and the organization is based in the country of Labourina.

To be precise, Rossi, the capital of the country of Labourina.

A small country that is only a subordinate of the Kingdom of Mireana deliberately caused disturbances in the guilds ruled by one of the three main factions, Dusker, the central figure of the neutrals.

If Dusker doesn't do anything like this, Gilm will be insulted.

And if you are insulted, you will bring in more malicious ones.

More than that, it needed to be properly dropped.

Not as the kingdom of Mireana, but as a neutral dusker.

It's not surprising that Dusker will be telling that story here more than he heard from other faces.

No, I can tell you from one thing about Ning Lo Ajas, that story came out later than I thought.

"I understand that..."

Ray was the first to utter words to the request from Dusker.

Faces other than Elaine and Ara...... Rank B Party, Red Lotus Wings Party Leader is supposed to be Ray for once.

Beyond that, it's still not Marina, Vihera, let alone Bühne who should open his mouth here... I guess it's Ray's job.

"To the country of Labourina, it takes quite a while to travel by carriage...... I hear that's what takes more than a month. Because naturally, I think I'm going to be the one to go more than I can take that long..."

If you only want Ray to travel on Ceto to go to the country of Labourina, why did you call the other faces… not to mention Elaine, who has nothing to do with the wings of the Red Lotus, even if she is close to the Rays?

That was Ray's word to question, but naturally Dusker expected it.

"I trust Ray's strength more than anything else."

The words out of Dusker's mouth were as trustworthy as they were.

Naturally. It was in the war with the Bestian Empire that I saw firsthand how powerful Ray actually was.

Not to mention that Dusker is not hard to find out about Ray's activities in relation to the Lord of the Guild.

Seeing it with my own eyes, hearing the information coming up from the bottom... from such things, I naturally understood how much Ray's strength was.

Probably...... no, definitely would be in the top of the list among those in the Guild who know more about Ray's prowess.

Still, the anticipation is in the Dusker that Ray alone will be out of control of all sorts heading to the Labourina Nation.

Especially an organization that plots crimes like this one. There will naturally be aristocrats and connected aristocrats who are behind it.

If Ray raves against such people, it could be a loss to the Kingdom of Mireana at a later date.

Of course, if you've secured clear evidence and witnesses, there's nothing wrong with the area... from Dusker's eyes, Ray is a trustworthy person who has no more in terms of combat, but he doesn't seem to be fit to sneak up on something.

In that sense, besides Ray, I guess he wanted me to come with him.

"But I don't know what's over there. More than that, you still should have manpower besides Ray, right?

"Well, it's true that with the marinas, it would help a lot."

Marina is a powerful Spirit Magic user and helps me in a variety of places.

Vihera is very dependable in combat.

Bühne possesses a special skill called banditry.

Those three would undoubtedly be useful if they acted together.

That's for sure. Yes, I can assure you, Ray...

"So you're taking the carriage?

I end up coming back there.

If it's a short distance, that's what you can grab on Seto's feet and move around.

But there are a lot of problems grabbing Seto's feet for a few hours or days.

It's an overwhelmingly safe journey in the sky than traveling on the ground, but still, it's not absolutely safe.

There are bird monsters, harpy, wyburn... and various other monsters.

If Ray was the only one on Ceto, it wouldn't be a difficult story to counter such a monster.

However, if the situation is such that Ceto's feet are each grasped, no matter how much Ceto may be unconscious.

If we were to travel safely to avoid that, it would have been best to travel in Elaine's carriage.

(So you called Elaine?

If we were to rent a carriage from Elaine, Ray could also understand that we had called Elaine on this occasion.

That's what I thought Ray...... to Ray's words, Dusker shakes his neck to the side.

"No, there's a lot of inconvenience with the additions without the Rays. I want you back as soon as you can."

"Isn't that... impossible?

"Right. It's hard to get around on Ceto. or so, traveling by carriage is also too time-consuming.... Now, how do you say we move?

Marina continues in Ray's words.

In fact, it was true that there was so much impossibility in Dusker's words that those on the spot were still gazing at Dusker.

He was a dusker with such a gaze on him, but he opens his mouth without even showing how surprised he was.

"I know about the matter, and I thought about countermeasures here.... my alchemist is making me make a little magic item. With that, you can move around without any particular problem."

"Magic item?

The first to react to that word was Ray, who naturally had a hobby of collecting magic items.

"Oh. The problem with this one is that it grabs onto Seto's leg and travels for a long time, right?

"Yes."

Ray answers honestly to the words being asked.

When he sees it, Dusker smiles and opens his mouth again.

"I'll ask you this for confirmation, but only Ray basically gets Seto on his back. But even giant bears can lift easily with their feet. You're not wrong about this, are you?

"Yes."

"Restrict there... for example, you can have one bear, but if it's two, three, four, five, you can't lift it, or something like that?

"Um... I don't think it's a problem by weight, but I thought the five of us might be a little impossible because we only have four Seto legs"

"Oh, I guess so. But that's not what I want to hear. If you can finally tell me there are no restrictions, this one is enough.... The magic item I ordered you to make is simply a cage."

"Cage?"

"Oh. It's a cage made so Seto can hold it. Inside it is large enough for four to five people to sit on. Well, I can't fall asleep."

What Ray imagined in that word was a shopping cage.

It was Ray's perception that someone would move in with him in that cage...

"Isn't that a little tasteless? If Seto's just flying, he won't likely find that far, but if he's flying with a big cage like that, it's really easy to find. Depends on the size of the cage, of course."

"I guess so. But don't worry. I told you it was a magic item. Not just a cage."

"... what kind of magic item exactly?

The marina comes in, as it interrupts Ray and Dusker's words.

I would have left it to Ray alone, but unfortunately Ray tends to forget me when it comes to magic items. To avoid that, Marina interrupted the conversation.

"Unfortunately, it's a magic item I made you make during this busy time, so it's not that awesome. You know a monster named Murder Chameleon?

"Oh, um..."

When I heard that name, Marina gave me a disgusting look about three meters long... that's what makes me think of a monster the size of Seto.

It's a monster as if you've gianted the chameleon as it is, but it's named Murder because it likes to attack people.

That preference also comes from literally liking the taste of people, Rank C Monster.

Also, it is not as fine as optical camouflage…, and even worse than that if you do it poorly from there, but it has the ability to change the color of the body and blend into the surroundings.

Even such a nasty monster fits in rank C because it's not that strong if you fought purely.

He has fangs that just chew off the meat and chew through the bones, and a long stretched tongue blow has the corresponding power.

But... that's all.

Regardless of the average person, a blow to the tongue is easy to avoid if you are an adventurer with more than a certain strength.

Sometimes the movement of the Murder Chameleon itself is dull, and rarely does it allow approaching until it is bitten or approached to a distance where it is attacked by a tail.

... I guess the biggest reason why even with all those weaknesses it is still a rank C monster is that it still has the ability to change the color of the body.

All in all, if you were to say a cage made of such a marder chameleon material, you could understand what kind of magic item it is from Dusker's previous stories, both in the marina and… and to those around you who are listening.

"I just can't say I made it in a hurry, so it's perfectly done, naturally. It cannot be activated with the magic of the user, and it becomes a substitute that cannot be used without the use of demonic stones.... If I had more time, I wouldn't have talked about it."

Too bad he was a whining dusker, but he opens his mouth again when he can turn his gaze to the marina.

"Of course, we'll have the magic stones you need to use that magic item in this case.... It's pretty fuel-efficient, but fortunately, there's quite a collection of monster demon stones now."

"Oh, every night in defense..."

To Ray, who shrugged, Dusker nodded back.

Ray noticed that for a simple reason.

Because it is Ray who carries the body of a monster that has been defeated like every night to the Alliance.

How many monster corpses have been fulfilled since the start of the additions?

The amount of materials, demonic stones and other objects obtained is enormous.

(Even if you keep knocking them down every night, there's no sign they're gone at all. To be honest, why are there so many monsters)

That's the kind of game Ray used to play when he was in Japan, so much so that every night the monsters would come to the guilds that they would keep boiling indefinitely.

Monsters come, as if they were sharing information that Gilm was working on additions and there were no walls.

The most common monsters were still goblins, but naturally many others.

Some Rank B monsters showed up.

Fortunately, there were several Rank B and C adventurers at the time, so their cooperation succeeded in repelling the monster rather than defeating it, and the monster also took a lot of damage at that time, but nothing came after that.

All in all, for that reason, there was currently no trouble with Demon Stone in the Guild.

Nor is it uncommon for other monster material to be brought down on the way to Gilm where a large number of adventurers arrive.

"Okay.... Honestly, it's a subtle magic item, but this time it sounds useful"

"There's a lot of demon stone. That's about Goblin's Demon Stone, and it will expire in about thirty minutes. There's an item box for Ray, and it's my first replacement."

"Uh... I see"

If it only moves about thirty minutes with the demonic stones of Goblin, how many demonic stones will it take from the kingdom of Mireana to the land of Labourina?

Ray didn't even know exactly how wide the cage was, but it should still have been difficult to carry a lot of extra baggage.

That's the kind of imitation that carries a lot of demonic stones, which is usually difficult.

However... if Ray had a mystering, he could have used the cage without any problems whatsoever, no matter how many demonic stones he had.

Nodding as he was convinced of how the Rays were doing, Dusker next gives one letter to Elaine.

"Lord Dusker, what is this?

"This is a letter from the Duke of Kelevel to Lord Elaine."

That's what Dusker answered to Elaine's surprise question.
