"Hmmm...... what a well no longer. How dare you make such a big scene in this short time?"
When Dusker, who was on the other side of the orb against him, disappears, Ronitas, who leads the mission, squeaks smugly.
In fact, the colour of fatigue is dark on Ronitas' face.
If the rest of the mission is also asked what the Rays have been doing, what they are after, and what the state of Labourina thinks and how to act on the mission, it is not as easy as it should be to say that they are.
Even with such an exchange, Ronitas makes a point of wondering how intense it is to be a lord, because Dusker is already working on another job because he still has work to do.
There are people in the world who have a very strong appetite for birth, and many want a higher status.
Especially the position of lord of the guilm, if you try to be one who knows nothing, one who sees from the side, you will seem to benefit from a variety of things, starting with rare materials.
But if I tried Ronitas, who had a lot of opportunities to see how busy Dusker was up close, I wouldn't have wanted to be Lord of the Guild, though not very much.
If we were to exploit just to imitate that we are hardly like work...... there would be nothing we could do immediately just to the guilds on the border.
A city with lots of profits to gain, but also lots of danger. That's the guild.
"Even so. It almost turned out that way."
"Now that the guilds are getting wider, Ning Lo, this is the one thing I want...... but. Still, carrying close to a thousand people seems tough."
Ronitas was not involved in the women's mobility, but it was obvious that it seemed difficult just to imagine.
That would make it even hard to prepare a meal if it were also to travel in close to a thousand people.
He was a ray with even a pitied gaze somewhere, but I don't think he's that hard now.
"It was a lot of trouble at first. It's just that we're all moving around in carriages now, so it's not that hard."
"Still, if it were to be a thousand people moving, it would seem daunting. Well, whatever that is. In the meantime, the mission… does Gilm intend to go in a direction that does not take on the proposal of the Labourina State"
From the mouth of Ronitas, who tells him like he's tired, anyone could see that he thinks it's a hassle.
Still, if it's in Gilm's interest… and I guess it's Ronitas who doesn't imitate doing his job properly along the way due to the hassle.
"In the first place, we can't trust the upper management of the Labourina Nation in imitating what we did to Jaya."
One of the missions tells me to forgive Ronitas.
Was that the same for all the other faces, everyone snorted at the words?
However, this is also more profitable for Gilm, so I can say so.
From the standpoint of the mission, if it were in Gilm's interest to let Jaya take responsibility for this one, it would have been necessary for Gilm's mission to choose that one no matter what his inner thoughts were.
Nor can we do everything at will, beyond the need to think about the relationship between those sent by the Kingdom of Mireana not far away.
"Whatever it is, I'll be very careful with you over here about the Labourina country, so don't worry"
"... please"
In the end, the only thing Ray can do as of now is carry the women to the guild.
Most importantly, it is a very troublesome act for Jaya and the country of Labourina.
"And was it Lutus? When the guy rendezvous with you guys, you can keep it here, right?
"Do that. Lutus himself has some arm, and the escorts should be able to use it to an extent that he doesn't get stuck.... Still, I can't compare it to the Mileynes"
"No, it would be more wrong compared to that"
To Ray's words, Elaine groans with a shudder.
I can't imagine anything from how much I love Seto, but Mileyne and the others are famous adventurers among the young.
Whatever your personality, Mileyne has a neat appearance and is the perfect match to call beautiful.
Ekril deserves to be described as cuter than beauty because she is slightly younger than Mileyne, but she has a good face, no doubt.
In that sense, Sulnin is a middle-aged man, and there's no reason to be noisy just because of his appearance... but it would be enough to be noisy in terms of an armed wizard.
Gilm has a large party of adventurers, but not many of them are wizards.
"Honestly, I'm going to give Lutus and the escorts to the mission, so I need you to turn some escorts over from the mission."
To Ray's words, Ronitas thinks with a difficult look.
Ronitas also knows what Ray is worried about thanks to the exchange of information.
An adventurer of escorts prepared for the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce through a gimechanical camera, but sometimes most of the lines are women, and the escorts are chosen on the assumption that they do not cause strange problems.
I mean, he's choosing someone who has arms but not personality problems, someone who doesn't have arms but has no personality problems.
It's also an adventurer in the Labourina country who doesn't extend to the Guild in qualitative terms of adventurers.
With that in mind, I'm still definitely dissatisfied with defensive combat power.
Especially since the Rays won't be able to stay with your group forever, we needed to do something about it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I was able to rendezvous with this mission, so it would be more impossible for Ray not to expect anything from you.
But even if they expect it, there's no way Ronitas can say yes.
We're going to go to the country of Labourina... where the upper echelons imitated such things as organizing with a criminal organization called Jaya, allowing us to create a presence called a giant, etc., so that would be the honest way to ask the Rays to join their own escort if they could.
But there is no doubt that we need an armed escort to take nearly a thousand people to the Guild.
We don't need to be so vigilant now that we're in a Labourina country.
But if we get close to the guilds, there's also the possibility that a band of bandits will attack us that much more than powerful monsters and get out in this neighborhood.
At that time, I don't have personality problems but what happens with the guards with arms problems...... that's only what I naturally thought of the sight of a carnivore eating a flock of sheep scattered around.
"One or two, then... somehow..."
In the end, given the forthcoming guilds, only to that extent can Ronitas compromise.
No, Ning Lo, did you make that concession? and the face of the non-Lonitas mission was even impressive.
... Around not feeling anxious not to reduce our own escorts with this, I guess it's the right candidate.
"Are you sure?
"How about I be honest with you about hoping from that side, okay? However, even if we can accommodate the escort that way, we can't face the scorching wind."
"Eh!"
The first person to react to Ronitas' words was Mileine, who was playing with Seto a little further away, not the Rays......
While playing with Seto, I guess I listened to the Rays firmly.
So, maybe... really, maybe, but that's what we were hoping Ray and - to be exact - Seto would be able to act.
But, normally, it would be an impossible choice for Ronitas to dispatch to the Rays, even in the midst of the escort, the burning wind of the handlers… or even the Mileynes themselves.
"Whatever Mileyne is..."
After a glimpse of Mileyne, who is dissatisfied, Ray speaks out to Ronitas about his request.
"I don't care if you're a knight, not an adventurer?
"I can't do that."
It wasn't Lonitus who told Ray's words instantly... but the knight man in question.
The knight, in his thirties or so, of precisely working age, has had several face-to-face conversations with Ray as well.
A knight would have liked to be such a ray force if he could, but as an individual, he's here now as a knight.
More than that, it was necessary to make public affairs a priority.
"In the first place, few knights are accompanying us this time.... I'm busy with the guilds. More than that, we need to make Lord Ronitas' escort a top priority. Besides... it is also true that there are knights who can show that the mission, including Lord Ronitas, belongs to the Guild."
That's why I can't help you.
If you say so, Ray had no choice but to convince me too.
If you imitate that you can't take a knight here, that's what you do now. Anyway, I'm sure Dusker will piss you off at a later date.
Of course, with the marina, there are many ways to do something about that degree of anger… Still, I naturally wanted to avoid being scolded even though I didn't have to.
(After all, should escorts be prepared in the cities and villages along the way? Regardless of the adventurers in the Labourina country, there would be quite a few skilled adventurers and such in the countryside if you let them into the kingdom of Mireana)
Summarizing his thoughts, Ray nods back at the knight.
"Okay. I would have liked you to come here if I could, but I can't tell you I can't."
"Hmm. I wanted to protect those who, if I could, would not have the skill to protect them."
The knight tells him to regret it just a little bit.
In fact, this knight is the man who became a knight to protect those who do not have the power to fight, and that's probably the knight if you ask me who I regret the most in the current situation.
Did Ray also have something to feel in the thoughts of such a knight, or more than that, he doesn't tell a penetrating story about the topic, and mouths another story.
"Were there any delicious dishes or anything in the villages and cities around here?
"No, it did... why are you talking about it all of a sudden?"
I look at Ray in a way that the knight man was only slightly shuddered, but I still explain the dishes I ate in several villages and cities I stopped by on my way here, whether I thought Ray would have helped me change the story.
The face of the mission, starting with Ronitas, would have understood why Ray had changed the subject, as he does now.
I smile amicably as I marvel at Ray's care, which I never thought I would.
"Heh, a dish that steams meat on the ground?... sounds delicious, but it's going to take a while."
"Oh. It seems not uncommon to take more than ten hours for a few hours..."
Cooking method in which the seasoned meat is wrapped in large leaves used for fragrance, buried on the ground and steamed.
Ray knew that.
Because when I was in Japan, I read about it in comics.
(Are you a Chinese beggar chicken? I think that was the name... Humans, the idea would be something similar)
I'm guessing it's not exactly the same dish Ray imagined, beyond the variety of flavourings and ingredients used other than meat.
But I naturally thought it was more interesting than it was a similar dish. However……
"If I had time, I'd like to try it."
"Right. In our case, we stopped by the village just before we could cook, so we could buy it right away... but if we were unlucky, we would arrive in the village right after we started cooking, and so on."
"You're totally lucky around here."
For the Rays in a hurry on their way to the Guild, depending on some village, it's time to replenish some supplies.
Beyond that, if it were an hour or two, still being in one village for ten hours for a meal was an absolutely impossible option.
That's who knows how to cook that dish first accompanied the Rays to dinner...... no, it might be breakfast given the cooking time, but having them cook would be the easier option to choose from.
Even then, Ray asks for information about the villages and cities he stopped on his way from the knights… especially in terms of safety and the atmosphere on the spot.
Next to such a ray and knight, Marina asked Ronitas the same information she needed for her future journey.
Marina is familiar with a variety of information for as long as she was guild master, but information is nevertheless something that gets new every day.
Elaine, along with the other escorts, was alert to what was going on around her… and Seto was loved by Mileyne.
