"Ray, you see. This isn't it?
That's what I say, and I show Ray the book that Kenny had while moving his head ears happily.
The painting depicted there resembled a black sea bream monster that Ray defeated at sea, and it could be determined that it was probably the same monster.
"Oh, I think maybe this is it. I'm sorry you bothered to help me out even though I'm off at the corner."
"It's okay. I didn't have anything to do today."
In fact, Kenny, whose guild is off today, was grateful for his good fortune.
I had nothing to do, so when I went out shopping for a bit, I met Ray, who was on his way to the library.
Having concluded his interview with Dusker yesterday, Ray sought information on the monsters of this harvest at the Alliance and was able to obtain information on roughly where the crusade proof site was for the majority of monsters, and whether they were materials that could be sold or suitable for eating….
Whether it was because it was a periphery or an alliance with no sea nearby like the Guild, the dossier room also had information about the monsters of the sea properly.
But there's only one thing... the Black Sea Bream Monster had no information at all.
A new breed of monster, or was it too scarce to simply have any information?
Ray didn't even know why around there, but with all that, to the library with more information... So the day after I came back to Gilm, I carried the trees I had felled from the Trento woods and then headed right to the library.
That's how I met Kenny when I was on the move, shopping... and this is how I was supposed to come to the library with him.
"Nevertheless, you weren't a new kind of monster that means you're in a book."
That's what I say, Kenny, but there's no color there that seems particularly unfortunate.
Naturally. A monster is when an animal is transformed by magic, or when magic itself takes shape… Other than that, it is born into this world due to a variety of factors.
So, just because we found a new species of monster, there's nothing like this.
… It is not honorable, but it can be profitable, given the possibility that only new monsters will become unknown materials.
All in all, considering that the Black Sea Bream monster was in the book this way, I'm sure it's a rare monster, but it wasn't meant to be a new breed.
"I don't care about anything around here."
If you find a new breed of monster, you can name it yourself.
Most of all, in a world where literacy is not that high, many people have trouble naming new monsters after finding them.
(With that said, Japan... not Earth. Amazon on Earth. But a lot of bugs are new species. You've seen them on TV.)
Thinking that way, Ray quickly glances over to the page where the black sea bream monster is depicted...
"Guru."
Eventually, a strange voice rises from its mouth.
Even for Kenny, who is close to Ray, he is concerned about the look he sees for the first time and asks.
"What's going on?
"No, this..."
That's what Ray pointed to, a sentence written in the book.
Black sea bream monster... officially a monster named Baelos, but it says that the gut part is very expensive to use as an alchemy material.
That's why, depending on the state, it's worth a few white gold coins, so Kenny also opens his eyes wide.
Most importantly, it is not so unusual to be very expensive with monster materials.
In such a way as materials that have a rare effect or materials of high rank monsters.
... In that sense, Ceto's loose hairs and wings are naturally traded at a high price, and what do you care about moisturizing Ray's nose?
Whatever it is, Baelos' gut becomes that rare and expensive material... Baelos stored in Ray's mystering is almost non-existent.
Yes, as we defeated Baelos and dragged him all the way to shore, his guts were mostly scattered all over the ocean... feeding on creatures lurking in the ocean.
(If that's all expensive material, naturally the people in the ocean would have been thrilled)
Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's delicious.
But by thinking so, Ray had managed to mislead the bitter thoughts that were in him.
"Visceral...... no?
I guess I could have predicted the general situation based on the sentence Ray showed and how Ray looked.
To Kenny's words, Ray nods back silently.
"Uh... look, look. But it says it's delicious. Well, then, for you, Ray, don't you think that would have been all right? Right?"
"That's... well, I can't deny it"
"Well, you see, I can't gut you, but the body was able to get it safely, so I need to be glad."
That's what they say, and Ray also manages to convince himself.
In fact, it's a shame that we've thrown expensive ingredients into the ocean, but Kenny's body, as he says, is delicious, has managed to secure most of it.
If so, it would have been better than not getting anything.
Most importantly, the demon stone, which was the biggest purpose, was successfully obtained and the ice arrow of Seto was taken to level 3, so I don't have any complaints at that point.
"Besides, I can't gut you, but I hear you can use scales and fangs quite a bit. Then it's better than not getting anything, right?
"Right.... In the meantime, I just want to keep it dismantled... I don't know what's going on"
"Oh, then why don't you dismantle it with me? I'm off today."
I came up with a good thing, Kenny coming up with a suggestion like that, but Ray can't honestly nod at it.
"I'm free now, but I need to go to the Trent Forest again in a few hours to bring my felled trees"
For Ray, who has mysteries, it's easy...... it was a very easy job, but that's only because Ray.
When it comes to carrying normally felled trees, it becomes a considerable heavy labor.
That's why you can't skip that job that Ray left you with lightly.
But to Ray's words like that, Kenny grins and nods that it's no problem.
"The demolition itself doesn't seem to have any guts, and it won't take long. Besides, Ray, if you're serious, don't take that long to get the job done, okay?
Out of Kenny's mouth is an indisputable fact.
In fact, with the speed of Seto, it won't take a few minutes to reach the Trento Forest, and if you touch the felled trees, you can store them in Mystering.
More than that, Ning Luo's most time consuming was to arrive at the guild and then take it to the place where the felled trees were kept.
Now that the junction is not moving, if it is Ceto, it can also be imitated as flying directly into the sky and descending all over the city.
But with such imitation, Ray will undoubtedly be noticed later.
If it's really time for a hurry. Still, Ray didn't have any intention of doing such imitations in a situation like this.
"Hmmm...... but"
To Kenny's words, a little troubled Ray.
To Ray like that, Kenny talks with a grin.
"I'm with you, Ray, and I'd like to do a demolition of the monster.... No?
Kenny, leaning his neck and asking, was undoubtedly unattractive.
The fact is, because many men in the library had their jealous gaze on Ray.
Eventually Ray nods, as he is pushed by such a gaze.
"Okay. Then I need your help."
"Yay. Thanks."
Kenny smiles happily.
Until now, I've done things like dining and shopping with Ray, but my distance from Ray hasn't shrunk any more than I thought.
If so, let's step in a little bit more here.
That's how I decided to do it.
... I guess it's Kenny that it's instant from judging to transferring it to execution.
Whatever it is, this time it will be the form in which it played its part.
"So, where do you dismantle it?
"Hmmm... the warehouse at the full pavilion... oh, no"
There are more of them in Gilm today than usual.
If there were so many, so was the problem with the lodging, but above all we needed to eat.
And Ray hears that a full pavilion with three things: cheap, delicious, and lots of them, naturally, has become very popular and a big day in a row.
Being busy with the full pavilion naturally means that you will also need a large amount of its ingredients, so Hasta's warehouse for demolition, which is in charge of the ingredients for the full pavilion run by Dishot, hires people, and that's what he works at 46: 00.
Whether you say you want to take a monster like Baelos to a place like that and dismantle it, that would only get in the way.
If so, there's only one demolition place Ray can think of.
"I'm trying to get to the side of the river that's flowing through the woods, not so far from Gilm, okay?
"Huh? Right.... Ray, considering you're with me, I don't think that's a problem around here."
"So, Seto... no, Seto needs to keep an empty alert, can't he?"
Now that there are no boundaries, the protection of the sky is protected by Ceto.
Most of all, it's been quite a while since Seto actually started defending the sky, but only a few times in the meantime has he been attacked by monsters.
Even while Ray was at sea, there was no such thing as a flying monster attacking him.
Most of the time, there are so many adventurers out there, so I'm pretty sure we can work something out.
"Oh, well, I'll have the carriage out at the guild's."
"Are you sure?
"Yeah.... or honestly, I have quite a few carriages left in my current situation"
Having questioned the word that there was excess carriage, Ray leans his neck strangely.
Kenny opens his mouth with a laugh about how funny Ray's attitude was.
"There are quite a few people who say that the carriage they used until they came to Gilm broke and sold it. Well, even if there's a carriage, there 'll be a separate charge to put it in the inn, and the cost of repairing it will be commensurate."
"But wouldn't it be commerce without it?
"If you're a merchant, you are, but in this case, it simply means you're coming to the Guild."
"... is that what it is?
It wasn't entirely convincing, but Kenny doesn't have to imitate himself, so it's easy to predict that it's probably true.
"Yeah, well, I'll be ready in a minute... well, I'll meet you in front of the front gate. Ray, do you have anything to take?
"No, because in my case, it's mostly in this."
That's what I say, show you the mystering on your right hand side.
Most of what you need to live is stored inside the mysteries.
That is why there is no particular kind of personal belongings placed in the inn room either.
That's what it takes to make a request and do something like that... and the kind of knife for demolition comes in naturally.
(Oh, but Baelos had scales.... We talked about buying that scale as a pretty good material too, and what it takes to peel the scale...)
Even thinking about it, Ray doesn't know how to scale.
No, I know that if it's a regular fish to be exact, if you rub it in the back part of the knife, the scales peel off, but I don't think such a means can be used to peel the scales off the monsters either.
"Monster scales...... Especially in this case, it's fish based monster scales, but how do I strip that off?
"What? Hmm, yeah"
Ray's words bother Kenny, too.
If this is a guild near the sea, there will be a lot of information on that hand, and it's not strange to have some information if you're a receptionist working for the guild.
But around here, when it comes to fish, it's river fish.
Kenny didn't know how to scale fish monsters beyond the fact that the fish coming in from the sea were already treated to be eaten and were mostly salted.
... If this were a more skilled receptionist or guild employee, maybe I would have known.
Kenny is definitely competent as a receptionist as well, but still, the difference between what is experience really comes out.
"I don't know, I'll ask the guild seniors. When that happens, I might be a little late... okay?
"Oh, I'd be in trouble till evening or something, but I don't mind a little bit"
"Phew, I won't imitate anything that makes you wait that long."
That's what Kenny said, and he had a full grin on his date with Ray - actually, the demolition of the monster.
