The Rays, who arrived at the Lords' Hall, are immediately put through.

The gatekeepers were naturally close to the Rays, and sometimes they told me to put them right through from the top, so I didn't have to make them wait.

As always, the merchants were gathered at the side of the Lords' Hall, but the merchants who saw them go right inside only turn their very envious gaze.

(Compared to before, the number of merchants has decreased. And thanks to Lord Dusker's desperation? Or maybe he decided he wouldn't see Master Dusker and went looking for other money making stories)

Enter the Lords' Hall, thinking of the smaller number of merchants…

"Master Elaine huh!?

Moments, such voices echo around you.

It was unnecessary to think and obvious who had spoken such a voice.

There she was, for Elaine, who was called by her name... and for all the other faces she was used to seeing, a shortcut woman.

"Ara, you kept me waiting. I'm home now."

Elaine returns the words with a smile that seems as happy as Ara.

Ara really... nods happily from the bottom of her heart at Elaine's appearance like that.

"Well done..."

"When you're so impressed, don't have a little trouble with this one. Like every day, we'd have talked in a pair of orbs, wouldn't we?

"Of course I know that, but still, I'm glad to see it in person."

That would be less of a joy, or less of an inspiration. Usually there were even thin tears in Arla's eyes, which she cared about.

"Uh, the... Dear Ara?

The only thing that bothered me about seeing Ara like that was the maid who came to guide Ray and the others under Dusker.

If you try to guide me to the office, it would be natural to be confused because this has all of a sudden developed.

"Ray, I'm going to talk to Ara a little bit. Can I leave the explanation for Lord Dusker to you?

"Oh, I don't mind that. Ara would have been worried about a lot of things, too, and I can take care of this one. Just show me your face later."

"Uhm."

Elaine's position is that she is being seconded by an aristocrat.

More than that, it's Ray's word for deciding that Elaine will need to listen to this case properly as well.

Elaine must have snorted instantly because she knew that too.

"Then that's what I'm talking about. Can you show us to Master Dusker?

The maid nods at Ray's words and leaves Elaine and Arla on the spot to start walking.

Most importantly, I haven't been to Ray's office many times before, so I don't really need a guide.

Still, I guess this is how some people prepare a guide, because some people think something strange by taking this opportunity.

It's not like the Rays think they're going to behave like that, but they're still not going to let you go free just in case.

... In fact, Ara and Elaine had one maid around, and it was thorough there.

"I guess Dusker's getting pretty tired, too. I knew I needed to heal that fatigue."

"Don't do this to me"

Ray unexpectedly tells Marina that it sounds like a prank.

In fact, there are not so many people in Dusker who can imitate that, and Marina would be at the head of that.

Regardless of whether or not Dusker wants it.

"Oh, but it's necessary to forgive Dusker, who's tired of working, isn't it?

"I don't deny that, but if Master Dusker becomes extra tired or something because of it, don't you think it makes no sense?

"Really?"

"Uh, well... if you can, you can keep it on schedule..."

That's what a maid who was listening to Ray and Marina talk tells her to shelter Dusker.

I naturally knew how busy I am right now, just the maid serving Dusker.

I want to avoid making such a dusker any more mentally tired if I can.

That's what I thought...

"Oh, you need a change of mood? Dusker today is something that is too busy to afford mentally. Then you need to fix that at all, right?

"It's..."

It was undoubtedly true that not only Dasker, but his men had been assigned various jobs and were busy.

Still, can I imitate the way Marina makes fun of me... I guess that's because I'm still a maid of honor.

I was wondering if my esteemed husband Dusker would really change his mood by making fun of me at the marina.

I have such doubts...... but still I get to my destination more naturally than I'm walking.

Can I keep Dusker informed that the marinas are here?

Even if you get lost for a moment, you can't attribute the person the maid asked Dasker in the first place... or the person Dasker told you to call.

From my pride as a maid of honor, I couldn't have done such an imitation.

"Excuse me, Master Dusker. We've got a customer."

"Ooh, come in."

The maid opens the door to a voice heard from the end of the office door.

What Ray saw was still beyond the lavish door was Dusker's appearance as if he were buried in a pile of paperwork on the desk.

Still, the number of documents is considerably lower than when Ray and the others were asked to retaliate against Jaya.

"Bring me a cold drink and something to pick up appropriately"

To Dusker's order, the maid closes the door and leaves when she graces him.

Dusker, who dropped it off, leans closer to the Rays with the paperwork he had on the table.

"You've come back a lot. Honestly, I didn't think this would get any bigger."

I guess I was really relieved that the Rays are back. Dusker smiles happily from the bottom of his heart, urging him to sit on the couch.

I knew I was fine because I talked so much about it in a pair of orbs.

Still, it was very different from seeing it in person with a pair of orbs.

Oddly enough, that was the same thing Arla was glad to see Elaine.

"Right. Honestly, I didn't think I'd be that important either. Well, it didn't seem like a bad result for Gilm."

Securing nearly a thousand talent was by no means a bad result for Gilm.

Besides, nearly a thousand women are all beauties, those who look good enough to call them beautiful girls, so as lords of the guilds, it is not something to rejoice in.

The other people who acted as resistance, the carriages and horses that brought them, are not difficult for the guilds who are working on the additions.

And the existence of the Zorge Chamber of Commerce, which is taking the form of being held to the root in half by Dusker, is not a bad thing either.

It's not all good, of course.

Sometimes nearly a thousand women were brainwashed and made to whore, and many are disgusted by the existence of a man.

Some will also decide to return to their homeland on their way to Gilm or live in a village or city where they stopped.

Those in the resistance have no problems if Dusker is under decent rule, but if he becomes an arrogant nobleman, he is likely to start acting as a resistance again from past experience.

And the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce even makes it clear that it will do business with criminal organizations if it is to be formed as a business after consolidating the ground in the future, at first.

In the end, those who Ray and the others had led would be of great benefit to Guild if dealt with properly, but even vice to Guild if dealt with poorly.

(Well, do I matter around there? Take me to Gilm and the rest will depend on Master Dusker's arm)

Even so, Ray is not worried about Dusker's arm.

I don't know why, but I've been running the Guild so far without any problems.

In fact, there have been a lot of fine problems, but that has been resolved properly before it got bigger.

If so, it was Ray's decision not to have to worry that much.

Naturally, Dusker understands the area well...

"I guess."

That's what I tell Ray's words, with a complicated imitation of a joyful but difficult look on his face.

"That's where Dusker's arm is, isn't it? Besides, you said it before. He said he would make this guild the best city in the kingdom of Mireana."

"Ma, Marina! That would be a childhood story!?

Screaming like Dusker panicked at the words out of Marina's mouth.

When I was a kid...... that's the story before and after I proposed to the marina.

Being brought up about that time was something I absolutely wanted you to stop as a Dusker.

The sight of a strong Dusker panicking is also unusual for Ray... not translated.

Whatever happens when you're with Ray, it's because when you're with the marina, they often make fun of you.

It was such a dusker, but when an earlier maid returns to the office with tea and food, she manages to repair her physique.

"Okay, Master Dusker. I beg your pardon."

When the maid leaves graciously, Dusker finally opens his mouth against the marina.

"Absolutely, the marina is always the same."

"Really? Because you're a dark elf. But you're happy about that, aren't you?

To the marina she tells with a pranky grin, Dusker carries a sandwich on the plate to her mouth to delude something.

As follows, Ray and Buune also taste the sandwich.

The offering of tea did not mean a solid sandwich, but enough sandwich to be eaten in one bite, the contents of which are mixed with ham and cheese, vegetables, fish, meat and various ingredients.

It tasted satisfactory enough for Ray and Büne.

That's how we eat sandwiches... eventually, when we're traveling.

"Instead of boarding a sand boat?... Thousands, right? Were you all right?

"We managed to get quite a few people into the warehouse in the carcass area where we would normally keep food and other supplies. But it's true that it was still quite dense."

"Right.... but when that sandy ship is gone, don't get tough now. Even though it's warm during the day, it's getting much cooler in the morning and at night."

"Right. But it's getting cooler, and I just don't feel like it's getting colder or colder, but I think it's still awesome. The Zorgian Chamber of Commerce purchases a lot of bedding for the camp."

Though I'm heading into the fall, it's more than just summer, if I even wear one of my blankets and sleep, it's cold and freezing...... nothing like that.

Besides, if I slept in a carriage even if it was slightly cold, I could have prevented rain storms and such.

"As Lords of the Guild, I'm glad that as many as I can get here safely as I can, more than I've hit a lot of hands."

"Right. I want you to survive more than I helped around the corner, too. If I can afford this job for now, I'll show my face again."

"... having Seto seems convenient to make."

Dusker calling it smudging.

Seto's travel speed is far up there compared to that of the carriage.

Even though we broke up with the Suras after entering the kingdom of Mireana, the fact that we can arrive in Gilm in less than two days represents its speed of travel.

Try to be someone in a position like Dusker and you'll have nothing but envy to have such mobility.

That's why I can't even tell my people to turn Griffon into an obedient demon.

If you say something like that, it's just like telling you to kill yourself far away, and most importantly, because you never meet a high-ranking monster like Griffon that easily before.

"Right. I have Seto, too, to make it. I'm helping. … so let's talk about work quickly"

"Hmm? Oh, right. Ray naturally wants you to go to the Trent Forest to transport the wood. To be honest, I don't mind that I'm trying, but I'm losing touch with those who carry trees. I hope the monsters are coming out these days."

"I guess. If it doesn't mean that it will be raided by the Trent forest itself, the monsters will naturally increase....... ok. I'll hit you with my hand this way. If you leave it to Seto, the monsters will defeat you as they please."

That's what he said, and he talked about his work on other aspects.
