Legend

"Bye. Thanks for everything."

"Oh. I appreciate Ray, too. Not only did you defeat the pirates who have blackmailed this village, but you also bought away all the prey you caught in the fishing industry. It's not just fish, it's shellfish and seaweed."

To Ray's words, he lowered his head deeply while saying so and said a word of gratitude to Pastra, one of Galanca's many opportunities to deal with Ray.

That's what I told him when I got home from vacation tomorrow.

Hearing that, Pastra also seemed sorry at first.

But I understood that the place where Ray was originally not here, but Gilm, and the benefits Ray has brought to Galanca so far are enormous.

I'm only ashamed to tell you not to go home yet, while you sweeten up all that profits.

(I'd be happy to marry a village woman and stay in Galanca if I could)

While I thought so, I naturally also understood that Pastra could not do that.

Galanca is only a small village in the countryside and the number of young women is not so high.

Not to mention the incredible beauties around Ray: Elaine, Marina and Vihera.

Objectively, I didn't think Elaine and the others could fight a galanca woman.

"Also, if you run out of fish or want to eat, I'll let you come."

That was half flattering, but also half serious.

In fact, the Galanca fishermen responded well to Ray's order, and the amount of seafood Ray bought would be considerable.

It was taken for granted by the Galanca fishermen.

The gathering of skilled fishermen was a very fortunate thing to do if you try Ray, who came to the land to get fish.

Also, it's not just fish.

I've started with abalone and sawdust - maybe not exactly, but they look similar - and I've also had a ton of edible seaweed picked.

It's also very close to me for Ray to pick this up.

It was a very good impression on Ray that he would listen to his requests properly.

Most of all, if you really want a lot of fish, I hope that's the way to go to Emotion.

(It's just that emotion just brings a lot of people together in Harbor Street, it's really easy to get into trouble)

I never hesitated to wield my powers, Ray, but that doesn't mean I prefer to get into trouble.

If there is some kind of harvest - magic items, etc. - then most hassles don't come first.

Most importantly, if there are prize-winning monsters like Rem Race, Ray agrees to go to Emosion as well.

"Do that. To the village chief......"

"No, it's fine. I guess I'll be back anyway."

"If Ray says so, that's fine.... just considering the age of that village chief... no..."

Ray also understood what Pastra was trying to say.

But in the middle of that word, I suddenly cut off the words because I couldn't understand why, and I leaned my neck.

"What's up? What happened to you?

"... no, the village chief has been the village chief since I was little, and I don't think he's changed."

"Maybe it's got elf blood in it or something?

That's what I would tell Ray if he was a so-called half elf or something, but Pastra couldn't possibly shake his neck sideways...

"Oh, Mr. Ray. Still buying fish today?

It was Lirose, a slave trader, and two guards from Jubis who showed up in front of such Ray and Pastra.

"Oh, it's time to get back to the guild. I came to say hello."

"... Really? To Gilm."

Smudge and Lirose squeak.

If you try to make it Lerose, the presence of Ray was also someone who took me back to doing business in the Guild, and at the same time pushed the challenge of taking the pirates to the Guild.

Besides, I can do business in Gilm because of that difficulty, so it's not like I'm ever resenting you.

"If you're a pirate, do me a favor"

"Yes, of course it is. The guilders will have it until the travel expenses, so we will be honest with you accordingly.... Nevertheless..."

So once the word was cut, Lirose sees Ray as a smudger.

"What?"

"No, on purpose, I was wondering why you want pirate slaves. If you simply want slaves, that's what I wouldn't even bother to carry, would it? When that happens, I wonder if there's something there… I guess it's natural to think so."

"Uh... right. But don't worry, it's not like we're gonna do something about Lirose."

I thought about talking about groundships, Ray, but about groundships, information only a limited number of people still know, even in Guild.

If you put that in your mouth here, you would know that it tastes a lot worse.

Properly mislead.

Lirose, too, naturally knows she's being deluded, but she doesn't do anything more than ask.

I can't help but ask here...... I guess that's because if I know what's going on poorly, I understand it's not weird to be sealed to the worst.

Speaking to Ray, I know you're not going to do that... but still, it was only natural that if you tried to make it a Lirose who has been working in the country before, you would really be suspicious.

"In the meantime, if you make a deal normally, it's fine, don't worry about it"

"... right. That's what Ray, who has a deep red alias, says, and let me trust you."

Around purposefully mouthing Ray's alias - and that's also in front of the guards - I guess I don't entirely believe Ray's words.

Ray also somehow understands what Lirose thinks, but still says nothing more.

Because I understand that what Dusker asked me to do to Lirose is out of common sense in many ways.

"Oh well... Lord Ray will be gone? Lord Ray. In this case of pirates, it has been very annoying. And let me thank you for your pirate crusade."

One of the guards who was listening to Ray and Lerose...... a man in his forties or so says that and bows his head to Ray.

If you try to be a guard, Galanca is not where you are assigned.

But still, as the most flourishing Jubis guard around here, I was proud.

So, not so far from Jubis - and still a few days away - there must have been some deep thoughts about finding out that Galanca was being blackmailed by pirates.

"It was a coincidence that I came here. You just have to protect me from the next one."

"... well, if you can do that, it'll help you, too."

That's what I said, old woman of the village chief of Galanca.

Ray said there was no need to bring him in, but I guess Pastra was distracting him and letting someone call him.

Somehow, the people Ray was supposed to be deeply involved in this one gathered together.

"I didn't have to come all this way."

"Say what. Without you, those pirates would have done so much damage to this village. The benefactor who did something about it is going to go home, so it's only natural that the village chief Tatsuo should say hello."

Heh heh heh, and laughing at the words of the village chief, Ray laughs like he's been caught, too.

In fact, the damage that Galanca would have suffered in this one case would have been considerable.

It was only natural to be thankful to Ray for solving it.

... Ray naturally understood that too, but I didn't really like being looked up, so I purposefully tried to tell him I was going home just to Pastra.

"Anyway. I guess there was a lot going on with you Lord...... I'm pretty sure Galanca was saved thanks to you Lord. I appreciate that."

"Right. Then develop Galanca more and make the fishing industry active. Make sure you can deal with the monsters in the ocean."

To the words of Ray, who tells him so, the village chief thinks a little… eventually opens his mouth.

"Even if I say develop it. This is a country. That's not the kind of place that would attract so much attention if things weren't like this one. Plus, there aren't many people. … you can't develop what the Lord says first."

"Really? I guess it depends on how you do it... well, is it hard to get people together"

Smudge and Ray squeak because this also relates to when they were in Japan again.

Near where Ray lived, the population continues to decline.

Isn't that why it wouldn't be strange to stop standing as a city in the future... to the extent that it seems so?

Ray was still young and wasn't very interested in the area, but I've heard his parents tell stories of that kind many times.

Ray can easily predict that it won't be possible without much leeway in this world called Elgin because it's hard to rebound in places where even Japan is becoming marginalized.

That would be subtle if they were to say that there was no possibility that Galanca would develop if a mineral vein were to be found near Galanca or if some kind of laboratory were to be built... if they could actually do that.

(Mascot characters of Yule characters... No, the feeling of this world, if you do poorly, you could be mistaken for a monster and crusaded)

If I recall the mascot characters of the national Tsunaurauras, which I saw when I was in Japan, it seemed almost certain that they would be treated like monsters in this world.

Either way, we had a conversation for about an hour afterwards... Eventually, when he finished buying the last of the seafood, Ray rode Seto back to base.

"Yes, I simply salted it first. It's just that I cooked it in Ray's kiln, not on a direct fire, so it should be delicious."

The last dinner to be eaten in the land means a dish in which Bistle waved his arms in full.

The first of them to come out was the shrimp that Ray caught in today's fishery, about six metres long, cut into pieces and simply baked in a kiln.

Just because the cooking method is simple doesn't mean the dish itself is hassle-free.

The shrimp itself, which is flavored with herbs such as wild grass and mountain vegetables, can enjoy the deliciousness and toothfulness of shrimp enough to keep itself from bending over due to heat.

Especially big is that the shrimp was not great even though it was huge?

Delicious enough, it had a more intense flavour than the shrimp that Ningro Ray had eaten when he was in Japan.

"Ha-ha-ha... yeah, yummy!

Everyone else agrees with Ray's words happily.

The simple dish of baking shrimp that way quickly fits into the bellies of the Rays.

(Bake... With that said, there was a dish called salt pot baking... shall we make it next time? I feel like I should have just wrapped it in salt and cooked it, and it's not that hard)

Ray was thinking about a new dish while eating shrimp, but in fact when you make a salt kettle grill, you need to add egg whites to the salt, so making a salt kettle grill with Ray's idea won't succeed.

Most importantly, I have not made a fatal mistake until now because I have adopted the method of conveying the idea of having this kind of dish in Ray's case to a real cook and having the cook make it with it.

(Just a few more moments, it's Gamelion season. If you make a salt pot grill with gamelion meat...... yeah, that sounds delicious)

Some of Ray's mysteries contain a ton of fresh meat from the gamelions he caught last year, but he still naturally wants to eat the seasonal ingredients that he's actually just hunted.

The next dish made by Bistle comes out before Ray, who is thinking of Gamellion's saltpot grill.

"Yes, sautéed seafood"

There were dishes where seafood such as fish, shellfish, octopus...... were fried.

Similar to the first shrimp, it is engineered to never get tired of the flavor using a variety of weeds.

In addition, the bistol, who had known in the dishes since coming to the sea that shellfish, in particular, would become too stiff if put through too much fire, had also been cooked with great attention to how the fire was doing.

(Seafood Filled Grilled Noodles...... No, Seafood Filled Grilled Udon? But how do you make a single chestnut flour? Even though that would be a pretty user-friendly ingredient)

With that in mind, Ray ate stir-fry... and thumped his tongue at Bistol's cooking, which came out again after that, enjoying his last supper.
