Legend

The bandit crusade around Subrusta was not something that should be taken for granted or ended in a day or two, and the Rays were to hunt even bandits for five days.
Although the Rays finished in five days, it stopped there to take supplies to the Suras, and the other adventurers are still hunting for bandits.
Naturally if that's all bandit hunting on a massive scale, unlike the bandits who quickly escaped with information from the survival of the first bandits Ray defeated, many of them also perceived the danger that they were optimistically still okay with.
What was going on with the bandits' information networks, and the bandits were coming one after the other, even in that situation, so it was exactly what they deserved to call eating in.
(No, Ningro Itachi? Ningro, is it possible that the newly arrived bandits were made scapegoats of the bandits who tried to escape around Subrusta...)
While thinking of it that way, Ray takes supplies out of the mysteries and piles them to the ground.
Just a dried fruity hobby, the women on the spot tried to take us and our supplies to their carriages, but Sura's sharp voice echoed around them.
"Nobody thinks you're the only one, right? People like that need to have a good talk later."
The movement of the women, who were about to flock to dried fruit, stops in an instant in such Surah's words.
"You've got a decent compartment."
"Well, I was leading the resistance for once, and that's about it."
"... so? I asked Gimecam a little bit about the number of people down again, but she's not dead or anything, is she?
"Right. We've lost more than ten of them by finding some kind of job at a stop on the way, by finding a woman, or by leaving their hometown nearby."
"Hmmm.... hmm?
I wasn't interested in hearing it from the bottom of my heart, but Ray still had a lot to worry about in his current story.
This population consists of more than 90% women.
That is the group of those who were brainwashed and made to whore in Jaya, so naturally.
But now I'm out of Sulla's mouth, one of the reasons I left this group...
"Because you've got a man, haven't you?
"Hehe... unfortunately it's not a mistake. 'Cause you got a woman."
Just a little bit of coal... Ray somehow gives Ray the raw fruit - not the supplies, but the personal belongings - to Sura, who tells her with a look of mental fatigue.
I received it and it was not feminine... it was like a ning-roe man, a sura that peeled without peeling.
"Did you originally have such qualities or did you run that way because you hated men? I don't know much about that area, but there were a few people who decided to make a woman's lover and live with her..."
"Uh... yeah. Well, isn't that what happens?
To Sura's words, all Ray could do was return it that way.
Of course Ray knows there are homosexuals in the world.
When Ray was in Japan, there was no such thing around him, and that was the only kind of thing that came out of comics, novels, games, etc.
"Well, I don't have any complaints either, because that's not what I did forcefully, that's what I normally had to do with it"
With that said, Sura still looks tired somewhere and eats the fruit she gets from Ray to encourage herself.
The dried fruits were the women who were stripping them in contention, but they didn't even look at the fresh raw fruits that Sura had.
I suppose it's because I understand that if you imitate like that in the current situation, it will be terrible in many ways.
Because if it were, I would definitely want some sweet fruit at this time of summer during the day.
Even though the fall is gradually approaching, it's still quite hot during the day.
That's about as much as you want to swim if you have a lake or river.
... In fact, the Rays joined this group of Suras because they found themselves taking a break in the river.
"If the people who have gone away can live happily ever after, that's fine.... change the story, but what's happening to those of you who are working out? It's been a while."
It was Ray who openly changed the subject, but Sula nodded back, not looking like she felt particularly concerned about Ray's words like that.
"Everyone's taking their training seriously. … I guess because we remember that we were brought here by force"
If only I had the power, I never would have seen anything like this.
I guess a lot of people still think so.
And because they never wanted to regret being powerless again, the women invested in daily training.
Above all, it was a great benefit to this line that sometimes the movement of everyone was done in carriages, and training to near the limits of their health would not slow them down.
"Then fine. Worst of all, even if you don't have a job in Guild, you'll be able to get a job as an adventurer.... Well, it's subtle if that makes sense"
Gilm on the edge, naturally, has powerful monsters around him.
That's why Rank C monsters come so close to the Guild... and that's not why there are so few, but none.
Adventurers who have been able to come as far as Gilm by chance, luck or the power of others lack the strength to fight where such monsters may manifest themselves.
In this sense, even if a line of women are also trained in combat, their strength is not enough to operate in a guild.
Most likely, some of the women worked as adventurers, so partying around them could be done... possibly.
Many of the women also learn how to use bows and train as they do every day.
Even if the monster is strong, it is possible to defeat him if he attacks from a place that cannot be attacked, or even if he cannot defeat him, it is possible to create an opportunity for his fellow fighters fighting in the avant-garde to escape.
In that sense, I guess it's never a mistake that most people are trained to use bows.
"Still, it's better than nothing, right? Besides, I don't think we need to go out of town because we're talking about a job in construction for a while."
"Well, it's better than nothing. That's all the supplies I brought for now. Later that way..."
Divide it appropriately.
That's what I tried to say, Ray, but there was a voice that suddenly broke in there.
"Mr. Ray, do you have a minute?
"... gimmecameras? What's the matter with you? I didn't think there was anything I could do to talk to you in a hurry."
"No, it is. I just wanted to talk to you."
"Consultation? I gave you all the supplies, and there's nothing more I need to do, okay?... okay?
For once, when she turns her gaze to a wind such as that, Sura nods back that she has no problem.
"So, I hear it's no problem, but what's your business?
"This way. Because it's something that people don't really want to hear."
"... I'll tell you what, I'm not gonna take the dark job behind an assassination or anything, am I?
"No! What does Ray think we are!?
Ray remembers what the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce has done so far to gimmecameras screaming like it's out of the heart.
Let the woman who forcefully brings you into prostitution with the collar of a slave and give birth to a giant child.
It was the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce that made such a deal with Jaya.
Not to mention that Gimekala even declares that he will make a deal with the organization behind him if he consolidates the ground in Gilm, even in the negotiating arena with Dusker.
"No, considering what you've been up to, I think it's a reasonable decision."
If you say so, there are no words out there that even Gimecameras disagree with.
No, I know you can if you want to argue, but I understand that even if you argue pointlessly here, it just makes Ray in a bad mood.
"Anyway, it's not a dark story back there, but there's something I don't really want people to hear if I can. So, are you sure?
"Uh... I see"
It was not Ray...... but Sula who gave a convincing look to the words of Gimekala.
Sula nodded again at Ray when she said she could imagine what the consultation was.
"It's no problem. What's not dark behind it, I assure you. So why don't you listen to me?
If Sulla tells me that much, I don't think Ray thinks GimeCamera is weird in the current situation either.
"Okay. Let's go, then."
Thus, Ray heads to a place with few people so that he can be pulled by the gimmecameras.
At the end of the line of sight, Elaine, Vihella, and Bühne... and watching Rox, who is wrapping up this line of escorts, train the women... and watching Marina teach the bows to the large crowd of women, Ray and Gimecamera head into the shade of the trees.
"I'm sorry, suddenly.... Actually, I think I've spoken a little before, but it's about the dishes that only Mr. Ray knows"
"... uh... yeah. Is that the case? I'll even pull you to a place like this on purpose, if you think of something. Why all of a sudden?
"No, the food I had in the village a while back was unexpectedly delicious..."
"So you said you were in a bit of a hurry?
"I'm not in a hurry, but delicious food is still commercially strong."
"Well, I know that"
The restaurants serving dishes that Ray has thought of, such as udon, meat and pizza, are up for sale.
Humans, you can't live without eating it, so if you're going to eat it anyway, you naturally want to eat good food.
Profits earned from meals may be small compared to dealings with nobles, with Jaya, but they are significant in the sense that they are earned as they are every day.
If you think about it that way, Ray can see why the gimmecameras are so desperate.
I know... the question is, just because I know what it feels like to be a gimme camera, so I guess I'll soon have a dish that I can do something about.
I think about it so much, and I think about the goblin meat thing.
Ray has been busy with something and hasn't shown his face lately, but Ray was researching with a certain person how to make goblin meat taste good somehow.
(No, can't you?
The person Ray is working with is only a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Even though Ray also gives some money and offers things and spices that are likely to be ingredients, it is naturally its chamber of commerce that sells them out if they are able to eat goblin meat deliciously.
There is no reason to add a gimme camera to it now than it is.
When that happens, it's easy to come up with... I came up with it a while ago...
"Nato."
The moment that word came out of Ray's mouth, the gaze of the gimechanical camera sharpened as that of the raptor who found his prey.
"So what kind of dish is that natto?
"I don't care what kind of food they say.... Ingredients, not cooking?
Ray didn't know the formal difference between food and ingredients, but since there are many dishes that use natto at one time, he decides that it is probably not a mistake to call them ingredients.
But for Ningro Gimekala, the ingredients were more interesting than the dishes, and he turns his full grin toward Ray.
"Is it an ingredient, not a dish? That's interesting. But...... can you get that around the guilm?
"Oh, no problem. It's an ingredient made with beans, so you can make it normally."
When he gets here, he conceptualizes that it would be more troublesome not to teach anymore, and Ray goes on to explain it, remembering how to make all the natto he knows.
"All we need is beans... soybeans are beans, but it's hard to explain exactly what kind of beans they are, so we'll try everything with beans for now."
Edamame is a soy bean and Ray knows that too... unfortunately I have never seen anyone like him eating edamame in Elgin, so the knowledge was somewhat subtle as to whether it would help.
"What we need is some other straw.... That's it."
"... straw?
That's what they say, and Fu Ray finds out.
All I know is Inho... it was a story about rice straw, but other than that... I was wondering if even wheat straw could make natto.
But I don't know how to manufacture natto, so I decided that if I couldn't, I would give it up.
"Oh. Boil the soy first, wrap it in straw and leave it alone. After some time like that, the beans will start pulling yarn, so that's natto.... I think this fits the general way of making it. It's just that this is pretty much it, so I'm just gonna have to actually make it around here and remember it."
"Pulling a thread is... isn't that, like, rotten?
"That's fermentation, to be exact. It feels just like cheese or something. Well, they divide quite a few likes and dislikes, so you should try to make it temperamental."
Hearing that it was fermenting rather than rotting, Gimekala finally had a slight relief look on her face.
