Legend

"Ray, not at all...... I just went shopping, how could I be wrong to mean a pirate crusade?

Bringing all the pirates by boat to the village, and finally unloading the man Ray was poking his death-size blade at from the ship, Ray stores the ship in mystering where no one was left aboard Seto back from the village.

And back in the village with the boat.

That's how the first voice directed at Ray back in the village was that of the marina.

"Even if they say so. All I'm saying is, it's a big deal."

In fact, Ray didn't go into actions like this one either because he had something in mind.

Really, it was the only way to go.

"You know what?... No, it's often said that if Ray moves, he can't help it."

"... wait. I don't remember hearing that, do I? Is that really how they say it?

That's what Ray tells the unexpected words out of Marina's mouth.

Marina's words, told as if a dog could also walk and hit a stick, are not naturally satisfactory to Ray either.

But the marina goes on, regardless of how Ray looks like that.

"In the meantime, the pirates are gathering in the village square... what are we going to do?

"Uh... right. Because we need to tie it up for now and make it impossible to move around. No, can't you do something about it with spiritual magic?

"Um, yeah. If you can or can't do it, you can't do it for a very long time, can you?

To the words of such a marina, Elaine, who was also here to pick up Ray, twists her neck strangely.

"Yeah? I think Marina's house is spiritually magical enough to prevent trespassers? That thing would be working with spiritual magic without any particular problems after quite some time, right?

"Right. It's just that that spirit has a long contract with me, especially because he's a compatible spirit. This is the first place I've ever been, so it's a little hard to do the same with my house.... Well, still, it doesn't matter if it's for one or two nights, so don't worry."

I'm relieved that Ray will be fine as long as it's short notice, too, to say the words of the marina.

"Then take it for now. I need to go to a city close to here and bring people like guards and slave traders.... Is that all right?

The last Ray asked was an old woman who was watching the Rays... the village chief in this village.

In the vicinity of the village chief, there is also the appearance of some guards, just in case.

Suddenly the mayor of the village, voiced by Ray, nods back without any particular appearance of movement.

... Unlike the surrounding escorts, who were completely blinded by the three beauties you see in history, such as Elaine, Marina and Vihella, is that the guy called Year Difference?

"Um, that's okay. As the head of this village, it helps enough that the damage is no longer done to the village"

"If you say so, this one will help. Oh, and about the fishing gear and the fish..."

"Let's get you ready. This time it was because Ray helped me a lot. I'll keep it as cheap as I can."

Heh heh, heh. Ray nods happily to acknowledge it, too, to the words of the village chief, who laughs so loudly.

"Okay. So, where is the relatively large city near here?

"Hmmm...... right. If it's a carriage, there's a city called Jubis about three days away. That's not the biggest city around here."

"Heh... you're closer than I expected. I thought it might take ten days or so each way."

"So far in the country, there are a lot of problems.... Anyway, can I leave everything to you about the area?

"Oh. I'm going to go to a city called that Jubis soon.... No, before that, really only now. What village is it by its name?

I now realize that I don't know the village's name, and Ray asks the village chief that.

Even the village chief who was asked thought that Ray knew the area exactly, only to open his eyes a little.

"Because this village doesn't have much to do with the outside. Some of the villages don't seem to know the name of the village. Bye...... right. Speaking of Galanca villages for now, let's get through."

"Okay.... So, which direction is Jubis in?

"After you leave the village, head east, you'll eventually hit the streets. Take that street to the left and you'll reach Jubis."

After a brief exchange of words with the village chief, Ray leaves the village with Seto, only to ask Elaine and the others for the rest.

With such a busy appearance, Elaine and the others had a slightly frightened look on their faces, but eventually each begins to prepare.

The first thing to do would be to have a place to keep the pirates.

As I talked to Ray earlier, the marina will be in charge, and we'll use the dirt to build the barn while it's easy right outside the village.

Naturally, the villagers' feelings for pirates cannot be described as good.

So it was Marina's idea that pirate and villager contact should be avoided as much as possible.

I was originally trying to get the villagers to take care of the pirates, Ray, but I also wondered if it would be a bad idea to imitate that the villagers would do harm to the pirates, so the neighborhood is a form that honestly followed Marina's suggestion.

"Well, I wonder how soon you'll be back."

"Yeah? Given Seto's speed, isn't that what we'll be back for today? I took the cage too."

That's what Elaine answers when she hears Marina whining, but Marina knows that Ray... and Seto are subtly directional tone-deaf or frequently in trouble.

Maybe it's no surprise that you ran into other bandits before you arrived in a city called Jubis, or a carriage being attacked by monsters.

No, Ning Lo. I even think it would be an easy one if that was all you had to do.

Elaine was also slightly anxious to see what was going on at the marina, which distracted her from her gaze.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

"Hmm? Oh, that's that street. If you take that to the left, there's a city called Jubis."

When Elaine and Marina were anxious...... unexpectedly, Ray and Seto had nothing in particular to get into trouble with, and were proceeding as taught by the village chief.

Most importantly, Ray is under the impression that he's in trouble frequently, but he's not actually that frequent.

Even if you're in trouble like every day of the year, that's the only time you'll have no time to rest.

... In the first place, if it were normal, I would rarely get into trouble as many times as Ray did.

Take Ceto and take the street to the left, eventually you'll see the city.

It is naturally smaller than Gilm and considerably smaller than cities like Abu Ero and Subrusta.

Just because it's a country, the size of the city is never a big deal.

Still, compared to the village of Galanca, where Ray was until earlier, its size is not comparable.

"People are... pretty good"

There are quite a few who are walking down the street to Jubis.

That would be the overwhelming size of the street compared to Galanca.

(Galanca was a village that felt forgotten)

Of course that's just to say that Ray felt that way, and that's not actually why.

As far as taxes are concerned, they fit in as well as they do every year.

Seto, get down here.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seeing the city approaching, Ray asks Seto to do so.

Then Seto immediately rings his throat and descends with his wings winged.

Naturally those walking on the ground noticed how Seto was, and some began to make noise.

But it doesn't look like Ray cared more than usual.

Still, with some consideration for the gatekeeper guards, I went down a little far from the city.

"Hey. Are you sure that city is Jubis?

He was near where Seto went down, he asks the merchant and the man.

The merchant keeps his face stiffened with surprise...... Still, he nods back at Ray's words.

Meaning as a merchant, or kind of guts?

Whatever the reason, Ray thanked the merchant who told him about it, and he still heads to the city satisfied that this was the place for sure in Jubis.

Naturally Ray approached me on the ceto, he also looked like the guards who were the gatekeepers.

I could see it... but there's no way I can do anything about Griffon Ceto to a guard in a country city like this.

Several guards had already acted to report to their superiors.

While Ray also understands the movements of such guards, there is no darkness behind them... on the contrary, he comes to let us know that he has caught a pirate, so he speaks to the guards in front of the main gate without looking particularly concerned.

"I'm Ray. Rank B Adventurer. We have captured pirates in Galanca, so we hope to surrender and confirm them"

"... Ray? I have a griffon with me, Ray...... a deep red ray!?

Fortunately, I guess the guards knew about Ray. Put down the spear you stood ready to be attacked whenever you wanted.

(Apparently, Jubis knew so much about me....... glad it didn't make a hassle of noise)

Until now, Ray has experienced several times being insulted and entangled from the looks of it.

These days it's gone, but that's only a story in a place that's thriving quite a bit, starting with the guilds.

Until this Jubis-like countryside, it was not even known to the person who was the source of the rumor whether the rumor of Ray had arrived.

But fortunately, I wish the rumor had arrived.

While relieved, Ray gets off Seto's back and opens his mouth again.

"You know me, apparently.... Oh, this is the guild card. So, what about the pirates? I want you to come as soon as you can."

"Hey, give me a minute. I'm not the only one who can judge this! I'll call the one up there right away!

That's the kind of guard who shouts, but Ray also confirms that someone left the scene to call for backup when he saw Ray's presence earlier.

(Are you still on guard over here?

I didn't think so, but when you think about it, all of a sudden an adventurer with an alias shows up in a country like this, and even more so, he wants you to take it from him because he caught a pirate.

I'd rather not be suspicious of that.

In the end, Ray waits for his boss and them to come as they were called near the main entrance with Seto.

In the meantime, the guards tried to do the procedure for those trying to get inside the city because there was nothing in particular to do… Many of those who found out that Ray and Seto were dear and not harmful to themselves looked at Ray with interest at what was going to happen, and there was no way to do the procedure for getting inside the city.

"Dude, why are you so stunning?"

"I can't help it. No big commotion so far in this country, it won't be."

Each guard speaks of dissatisfaction.

In fact, it is proven by those around us that the word is correct.

Even if I encourage you to force yourself into the city in the present circumstances, that would be the only thing that would make you complain.

... Now if Ray or Seto were someone who would do harm to others, they might have talked a little differently.

That's how a little time goes by...... as Ray eats the dried meat he took out of the mysteries with Ceto, eventually several guards show up from inside the city.

Among them, it was obvious that the person who showed up at the head was a great member of the guard... at least in a better position than the guard who talked to Ray.

"Are you Ray the Deep Red?

"Oh. You mean the great guard, right?

"I don't mind such recognition. So, we're talking about capturing a pirate, where the hell is that pirate?

"Do you know what a village is called Galanca? It's a village a long way from here."

"... Galanca? Yeah, I get it. I've never been there, but if it's about a name, I know it."

Sometimes I'm the captain of a guard, and I guess I should say that I remembered Galanca's name just fine.

In fact, even when I heard the name Galanca that Ray spoke of, many of those who were listening around me had expressions like they didn't know what they were talking about.

"On a deserted island near Galanca, there was an aside of pirates. So the villagers asked me to, and I caught them. It's just... it's quick if you know where Galanca is, but it's pretty far away, isn't it? That's why I'm here."

To Ray's words, the captain of the guard leaned his neck wonderfully.
