Legend

The summery heat disappears a lot at night.

Of course, it doesn't suddenly get cold just because it's night, but still it's definitely a lot easier to get awesome compared to the night a while ago.

If you listen, you'll see that the sound of the bugs you hear from around you has also changed somewhat.

Ray and the others were dining in the garden of the marina's house as they heard the bugs approaching such an autumn.

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've eaten here."

"Really? I don't think so either. 'Cause before you went to Labourina country, right?

A conversation plays as I reach for freshly baked pizza while eating a stew full of meat and vegetables.

There are several other dishes on the table, such as skewers, simmering dishes, grilled fish…

It may be a little difficult to eat a sumptuous meal, but there are definitely enough delicious dishes still available.

"Hmm, this fish pizza is delicious. Is the fish the fish you caught before you went back to the gilm?

While savoring simple pizzas, such as the river fish itself, some cheese and some summer vegetables…, Elaine utters admiration.

In the sense of delicious cuisine, the three of Elaine, Marina and Vihera had the opportunity to mouth the kind of dishes that were repeatedly served to aristocratic parties.

But for those three, hand cooking made by Ray using a pizza kiln of magic items tastes better than any treat.

"Oh. There's plenty of room for river fish. I used it. It's just that it's river fish and vegetables, so it's really going to be lightly flavored. I'd like to flavor it a little darker."

"Really? I'm happy with this light flavor."

"Um, I guess Ray's right, I'd like a little more intense flavoring"

To Elaine's words, Vihella tells her what she likes.

"Oh, I think this is as good as it sounds?

"Hmm..."

Marina agrees with Elaine's words, and Bühne agrees with Vihera's.

The opinion has been split in two, but Ray bakes a new pizza without worrying about it.

No, considering that your pizza utensils are sweet and spicy boiled oak meat, I guess I still care a little.

"So, how was your day at work? We carried all the trees that were in the Trent Forest for now."

"In Ray's case, the work of that hand is not bitter at all."

Ray's mistering is doomed to the work of his hand.

How much stuff... even if it takes a lot of effort if it's meant to be carried by people, it can be stored in a light mistering.

"Sort of. Anyway, I got rid of the biggest problem I ever had. It's just that... there's quite a few monsters in the Trent Forest."

"For once, you must be on guard around there, right?

To Vihera, who told him so, open her tease by putting the pizza that the marina was eating back on the plate.

"You know what? There's no way you can completely seal off Trent Forest with anything. No matter how many blockades you try to seal, make sure you sew that gap, and the monsters will go into the woods."

"... that's it, why are you in the Trent Forest?

As far as Vihella knows, there are few animals in the Trento forest.

The birds seemed to be a few because they were flying in the sky, but still a small number.

Even if we lived in such a place, it was Vihella's question that it would be difficult to eat.

"There are people, and that's what other monsters are for, right? I don't have a problem with food."

With that said, I guess it's not funny for Marina to still have monsters living in the Trento Forest.

As a former guild master, that reaction was not strange.

"When that happens, will Ray go around exterminating the Trent Forest monsters tomorrow?

Elaine asks Ray in things like just a little envy.

It was Elaine staying at the marina's house with Ara, but she needed to hold talks with various opponents, including Dusker, as someone being seconded by the nobility.

Of course I don't imitate that to the person I talk to, but I still don't really like that kind of meeting for Elaine.

That's why I envied Ray for being able to move my body.

"Probably will. Fighting monsters isn't bad for me either."

It's also possible that you can get the demon stones of unknown monsters, and even if you don't, it's no harm getting the meat of monsters.

And there will be no more monsters attacking the monsters and adventurers operating in the Trent Forest.

If you think about it that way, you can say that Ray behaves best.

… although demonic stones and meat are already more important elements in the lay.

Vihera, who was listening to such a conversation between Ray and Elaine, opens her mouth wondering as she wipes the edible on Büne's mouth.

"I'm listening, are you about a monster in the Trent woods? What about animals?

"Unfortunately, they don't have any animals. It's not strange to have some kind of animal."

It's a rich forest, so it's not surprising that animals like herbivores who eat it, and carnivores who eat herbivores.

That's what Ray tells him, while he enjoys sausages, onions and mushroom pizza.

"Well, as for me... how was Marina and Vihera?

"I was working at the construction site, but compared to what I was planning to hear in advance, I think I'm a little behind."

"Why? It's not because we don't have enough building materials, is it?

The biggest reason Dusker requested to come back to Ray was about the transport of logged timber in the Trento forest, but that's not why no timber was carried.

Also, it was hard to think that the trees Ray carried before he went to the Labourina country would be in considerable quantities and would run out of building materials.

"Yeah. It's not about the material. Problem is, too many skilled craftsmen have come together."

"... not that we didn't get together, but that we got too much together?

If there are not enough skilled craftsmen, it is also understandable that the construction will be delayed without the craftsmen's hands turning.

But there were a lot of skilled craftsmen, why... I think so, and I immediately remember.

With that said, there was a similar commotion before the construction of the additions began, he said.

"Are you saying you're stubborn because you're an expert, and you can't accept other artisan ways? No, but that didn't work out anymore before the construction started?

"Right. It was resolved in the sense of a general direction."

"Oh, could that be..."

To Marina's words, whine as Arla noticed something that was tongue drumming on the pizza.

Marina nods back at how Ara looks like that.

"Maybe you're right about Ara. The general point was that there was talk amongst the craftsmen, but when it comes to the details, there is a flurry of each. Besides, only skilled craftsmen have a proper meaning in the process."

"So it's never been a problem before?

"Of course you did, didn't you? But until a while ago, it wasn't that big of a problem. But... it's been happening a lot for a while."

"Construction has begun to lag...? Well, maybe we should discuss it thoroughly, convince each other, and then proceed with the construction, rather than make an appropriate compromise."

"Right. I know that if we appropriately talked about it here and proceeded with the construction, it would be the same commotion again later... and if we think about it, we should make the area clear after all. Especially from now on, in autumn and winter…"

I won't say anything more, but I understood what Marina wanted to say to everyone on the spot.

The season is good. Autumn won't have to worry that much again.

However, in winter… when construction is underway in the snow, there is a good chance that if something goes wrong, it will not be possible to take it back.

I'm pretty sure you should also discuss the details of the construction thoroughly on site so that you don't regret it at that time.

"You know what's going on up there?

"Of course. It's just... no matter how much, because the craftsman is the opponent. Anyway, if you're a craftsman with bad skills, there's nothing you can do about it if you're not convinced."

"... if I do poorly, I feel like the construction of the addition itself is going to be over, is it my fault?

If we discuss it and the craftsmen mesh it well, it will definitely be a very great force in the field.

But that's only a story if it meets well.

I hope so, but I couldn't deny the possibility that the majority of the worst craftsmen would pull their hands off the construction if they didn't...

There are also many dwarves, especially among craftsmen, whose stubbornness is extraordinary.

"It's possible... maybe we can work something out."

While I understand Ray's words, I can still afford to say that somewhere, because there's something in the marina that should also be called some kind of back hand?

While I have some doubts around it, if Marina says so...... Ray stops listening any further.

"So, then what happened next... to Vihera?

"Me? Um, yeah. Honestly, it's the same as before."

Vihera, who was eating roasted venison cooked in a pizza kiln with a sauce made of sour fruit, returns that word to Ray.

"Same as before...? When I heard about it, it felt like I had defeated a good number of people?

It was Ray mouthing the information Kenny told me, but Vihera opens her mouth as she grins at Ray like that.

"Yeah, that's why you said it was the same as before, right?

I'm telling you that with a look like nothing, but that means I've been forcefully silencing a lot of people with my arms for a long time.

Ray realizes that the person who would do such a thing to Vihera is a correspondingly malicious person.

Even if Vihela is hungry to fight a strong opponent, she can't be that tough with someone who isn't so vicious.

"When that happens, do you mean more malicious guys are coming into the guild than I expected?... Honestly, that's a pain in the ass. I hope it won't be too much trouble later."

Tell Ray so. Marina opens her mouth to comfort her as she hands over a glass of fruit water cooled by spiritual magic.

"There's nothing you can do around here. What's the matter, some adventurers get mixed up like that. Ning Lo, I think we should praise Vihera for accurately defeating someone like that, right?

"I don't think Ray needs to worry that much. It's not like Ray represents Gilm's adventurers, is it? Regardless of the Rank S Adventurer, there are other Rank A Adventurers and Adventurers with aliases in the Guild."

"I didn't think Vihella was that familiar with Gilm's adventurers."

From that tone, there was no doubt that Vihella was gathering some information about Rank A adventurers and adventurers with aliases in the Guild.

If you try Ray, both Rank A Adventurers and Adventurers with aliases only know about the Elks of the Axe of Thunder God.

No, so is Elaine in terms of having an alias, but in this case she won't be able to get into the numbers any more than the premise that she's only an adventurer belonging to the Guild.

"Of course, right? Ray should be a little more familiar with the adventurer situation, right? Besides... in my case, don't you think it's natural to gather information about such a strong adventurer?

"I won't deny that"

In fact, given Vihera's character, which prefers to fight strong opponents, it would be natural to gather information on people rumored to be strong.

That's why I don't know when I can fight someone like that.

Failure to prepare for it could have created exactly a fatal loss for Vihella.

"Pfft, next time I'll give Ray a lot of info about that area, so look forward to it"

Saying so, Vihera smiles with a full face.

But if it's also information on the adventurer, former guild master Marina hasn't lost, and Elaine knows several people with aliases because of the breadth of their faces.

Like that, the dinner place gets noisy.

Ray came back to Gilm looking at the sight of such a meal… and realised so.
