"This completes the third set of treasures."
"Ray, isn't it time to head to the Guild? For once, the main entrance is open late at night, but you should come in a little early if you can. Something that will definitely get mixed up if it gets any slower"
That's how Marina speaks to Ray, who housed the treasures the bandits were accumulating in his mistering.
I guess the slightest glitch in the marina's eyes is that she hunted too many bandits.
Arriving in Subrusta...... no, hours after I first discovered a bandit who was working near Subrusta to be exact.
In just a few hours of that, you devastated all three bandits, so it wouldn't be surprising if Marina turned such a gaze to that enthusiasm.
... crushed the three bandits, which naturally means that that's all the bandits who belonged there took their lives, but there's nothing to blame about that in particular.
Elaine, Marina, Vihera and Bühne.
All four of them are the ones who have had the corresponding experience, and the kindness to think that even though they are bandits, they should not take their lives… No, because they do not have the sweetness.
In some cases it would have been bigger money if we had taken them to Sabrusta as slaves, but this time the aim is to plant fear in the bandits around here, so we have not.
Some of the people who killed the bandits and used them to extract information escape to spread the word that the bandits have been destroyed.
As such, we'll make sure Sura and the others are safe as they pass through the area.
"Um, right. It's going to be evening, and this is the limit, considering what's around it."
After deciding to hunt a bandit, for a few hours.
If only that had led to the extermination of the three bandits, the bandits around here would not have been able to imitate them in a far-fetched way.
Most of the time, the three of them were actually fighting for less than twenty minutes.
Much time was taken not to interrogate… but to confess where to keep the treasure and, in some cases, to guide it and to store the treasure there in mistering.
(Now, it would have taken longer if there was a guy who was caught, but luckily there wasn't one like that)
Ray was relieved by that, but that's nothing but luck, purely because it's too risky to sell the captured opponent as a slave if you try to be a bandit coming around here.
If we sell as slaves, if we do poorly, we could get to ourselves in the potato crawl.
If you make less money attacking merchants, you will also need to resort to such means.
But I guess he decided that if he attacked a merchant, he wouldn't have to bother to increase the risk of getting caught more than that would get him a lot of money.
Of course, there may still be people caught in such cases.
That's why a young woman becomes necessary in a different sense.
Fortunately none of those bandits that Ray hunted this time were anywhere.
If I had, that would have bothered my head with what I should be doing now.
"So, you want to go to the Gilm?
Nodding at Elaine's words, Ray went out of the woods and rode into the Seto cage for a guild.
"Oh, Mr. Ray. Long time no see."
In charge of Ray at Gilm's main entrance was a tough-faced person... who, if it were meant to be, was Langa, who led the guard.
"That's the one I haven't seen in a long time lately... how could you?
He was someone with some connection to Ray, but I never saw that face at all these days.
... In the first place, Ray was going to the Labourina country, because it was one of the reasons I stopped seeing him, but it is true that I rarely met him before the construction of the addition.
"I've been away from Gilm for a while at work."
"With that said, the same thing happened before."
Langa grins and nods in its stern face at Ray, who tells him in remembrance of the dispatch of Langa in the form of Dasker's envoy in an issue with a certain nobleman that Ray was involved with.
"That being said, that happened."
If anyone knows anything, that's what Langa will look like as a bandit.
In fact, the merchants and thinkers who are now a little far from Ray are also shaking their bodies when they see the langa they are talking to Ray.
To such a merchant, another merchant who knows about Langa explains, and tells him that regardless of his face, he is in fact the one he doesn't have - if he doesn't feel guilty - in that scary opponent.
"Whoa, I don't care if you let me take the time here. You can come in now that the process is complete."
You noticed the sight around you, Langa rushes to tell Ray so.
To such a langa, Ray also greets lightly and receives the obedient devil's necklace and enters the gilm with Elaine and the others.
"I don't know where Langa was going, but when that Langa comes back, there's going to be some big commotion...?
"I don't know. Maybe he was simply out there somewhere on Dusker's orders. In fact, Langa is a pretty good guard. It's no surprise someone's asking for some kind of backup somewhere else."
To Marina's words, I'm convinced that's what it is, Ray.
The word is never a lie, there is something wrong with a nobleman who belongs to a neutral... it is not uncommon for Langa to be dispatched if there is a problem related to some crime.
Langa herself likes to go through the process of those entering and leaving the Guild, but would be an example of not necessarily matching her personality and abilities.
"I see. Langa's in trouble, too.... So, what do we do now? You think I should go say hello to Master Dusker first?
"You don't need that much. Before this, if you needed to explain the matter of the Labourina country, you needed to meet Dusker, but this time there's nothing in particular to explain, is there?
To Marina's words, is that what this is all about? and think a little bit Ray.
But if you ask me if I actually have anything to report, nothing in particular.
It's clear if we go to the scene how much work we've accumulated during the days without the Rays.
The next time I join Sura and the others, I need to talk to Dusker about the supplies I'm taking and the number of escorts I'm taking...
"Leave the fine negotiations to me"
Ray decides to be sweet about the marina saying so.
In fact, Ray is never good at negotiating.
I'm good at bargaining half as close to blackmail as I did to the bandits, pushing my powers forward, but there's no way I'm going to imitate Dusker like that.
In that sense, it was still best for the occasion to leave the negotiations entirely to the marina.
... Though for Dusker, who in many ways is known to the marina for what should also be called black history, there is something that Marina would think at the point of being the negotiator.
If it was a negotiation that would be detrimental to Gilm, Dusker would never retreat even if his embarrassing past were to be talked about.
But that, on the contrary, is not to the detriment of the guilds… on the contrary, it almost certainly means going at the pace of the marina, if the negotiations are to be profitable.
As a matter of course, Ray knows about the area, and I asked Marina for it.
"Well, I'll talk to Dusker soon.... What do you do about the seto cage?
"You don't particularly need to adjust or anything like that. I used it for the first time before, so I needed it around here. In fact, there was no particular problem."
The ceto cage that was last adjusted or refurbished can be used without any particular problems.
If so, it was Ray's opinion that he wouldn't have to bother to take it this time.
Was it just in case Marina asked Ray, too, especially without speaking any more deeply, and turning her gaze to Ray?
Speaking of what Ray would do with that gaze pointed at him...
"In the meantime, would you like to make it a meal?
Everyone - especially Bühne - agrees with Ray's words to say so.
In fact, I've encouraged bandit hunting today, and that's what moves my body more than when I'm escorting the Suras.
Better hungry than usual, naturally.
(Cooking? I guess it's time for the cooks to refill a lot)
The cost of the dishes offered to Sura and the others is naturally treated as a necessary expense.
But just because it's a necessary expense doesn't mean you can get food right away.
If it's about cooking like a meal or two, it's still what Ray wants, because that's the stew made in a large pot or a thousand units of bread.
Nearly a thousand Suras, but no matter what the dish started with stew, one loaf of bread would never be enough.
Not to mention, I've been moving my body hard in combat training lately, so I guess it's more natural to be hungry.
Ray has bought a lot of dishes so far, but I'm pretty sure he's still cooking a lot less on this one.
Plus, Ray's mistering doesn't mean it's okay to cook in any store.
It's only a restaurant dish that Ray thought was delicious, so the amount is limited.
"The full pavilion... now is the time, quite a few people are going in"
Cheap, delicious, and plentiful, the restaurant is full of nothing more for adventurers.
But naturally, such stores are popular and have a lot of customers.
Now that the number of people was increasing due to the construction of additional buildings, it was easy to predict the crowding of the store in particular.
In the meantime, if the current Rays showed up for a meal, there would have been a lot of noise for sure.
(10) To Ray, to the artisans to the marina, to Vihella for those with dark backs... etc.
Not to mention that, when it comes to fame, there is undoubtedly even the top Elaine, such an act is tantamount to jumping into a commotion of its own.
"Then I knew you wouldn't eat at home? There's no extra way in, and Seto can take his time."
At the end of the marina's gaze was Seto's figure playing with the children who showed up at some point.
Given the current situation, it was certain that there would be a commotion even if we took Seto into the stores around there.
"Right. I agree with that too.... If Johanna comes around, it's going to be a lot louder again."
Mileyne is not in the Guild as an escort for the envoy of the Labourina Nation, but Johanna is still there. Even the last time I went back to Gilm, I sensed Seto's presence from nowhere and he was showing up.
To avoid that happening again, going to a marina's house in the aristocratic district now is definitely the best choice for everyone.
"Seto, it's time to go!
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto leaves the children playing with his throat rattling.
Even the kids have been dating Seto for quite a while.
Seto won't play with us, but you know Ray's word is paramount, leave us alone for good.
Sometimes I still want to play with Seto! and wasteful children - sometimes adults - but there is no such person today, and heavily Seto arrives under the Rays.
"The Rays have no problem getting into my house, so please go home first. I'll wrap up the negotiations with Dusker first."
"Are you sure?
"Yeah. That's what Rays come to my house for, like, so many times before. We're dealing with the trespassers with spiritual magic, but there's nothing wrong with the Rays."
Ray nods back to the marina, who lightly tells him so.
I was slightly interested in the act of preventing crime by spiritual magic, but I don't say anything about it and ask another thing when I say that there are various problems in asking such things where people are around me.
"Okay. Then I'll let you. So, what do you want for dinner today? If you want something to eat, I'll prepare it for you over here."
"Hmm, pizza after all. Because the pizza Ray made me is delicious."
"... if that's all right, it's easier this way. Are you sure about this?
Ray's pizza is a pizza cooked in a pizza kiln with magic items.
Heating a pizza kiln is a magic item, so it can be done easily, and the pizza itself is not that laborious a dish.
I'm back at the corner gilm, so wouldn't you prefer better food? And, to Ray, who asks, Marina opens her mouth with a glossy grin of a woman to the point of intense.
"I want to eat Ray's hand cooking.... okay?
That's what they said, and we decided for dinner today.
