"Sorry, Mr. Ray. Did I make you wait?
"No, I haven't waited that long. I just got here too."
Could Ray, with such a conversation as Kenny, resemble a pre-date rendezvous conversation where fuzz and current interactions are common? I think.
... although it wasn't very much what Ray imagined it would look like around the carriage table where Kenny came from.
"You turned it into a carriage after all."
"Yeah.... 'Cause Ray, you can't ride a horse"
"No, if you tell me to get in, I can get in."
That was Ray returning it to Kenny's words, but that's never a bright red lie.
But Ray can only ride horses who have trained hard since he was a military horse.
That's not because it's suspicious in terms of Ray's horseback riding skills... but it's affecting Ray's constant presence with Seto.
In other words, Ray's body is stained with signs and smells of ceto.
Still, if it's somewhat of a distance away, like the carriage stand, it doesn't even affect the horse that far... but if such a ray tries to get on the horse, the horse really feels signs of Seto.
For this reason, some horses may be in a state of panic.
Even if it doesn't get that far, it's also likely that the horse will be injured for nothing.
In order not to, it was still more stressfully safe for the horse to travel by carriage than for Ray to ride.
"Hmm. As a sister, I'll leave you to that."
Kenny grinned so much on your podium that Ray decided that there would be no point in saying anything more... and stayed in the carriage for the rest of his life.
"Heh... this is where you're dismantling the monster Ray?
Whimpering as Kenny looks around uncommonly.
For Ray, it doesn't seem like there's that much more unusual than it's been a place I've been here many times before.
But if you try Kenny, who doesn't usually get out of the guild, it's rare to get out of the guild itself.
Besides, this is how you come to the woods, which is not usually what you can do if you think about monster raids.
The situation now was reassuring even outside the guild because it was with one of the leading capable adventurers in the guild named Ray.
Kenny is also a cat beast man, meaning that the five senses are sharper than normal humans, but still not far from the ray of the main job.
... although it was the exact perception that for Kenny, the presence of Ray was not an escort but a date.
"Right. Well, it's not like I'm the only place dedicated to it."
This place is quite famous for Gilm's adventurers.
It's not that far from the guild, and the river is flowing, so you can wash away blood, fluids, flesh pieces, etc. that came out when you dismantled it.
However, naturally, it doesn't mean that this place can be used by anyone.
No, I can normally use it because I don't need anyone's permission if I just want to use it, but it's not uncommon for monsters and wild beasts to come sniffing it out, naturally, if I'm deconstructing it outside the peripheral gilm and making it smell like blood.
If you can't deal with it properly when you're attacked by such a presence, it naturally would mean taking the monster you're dismantling, and in the worst case, even the life of the person you were dismantling.
If you don't have as much strength as you can manage to do with them, using them here will end badly in some cases.
"Hmm, it is. You're so beautiful."
Kenny squeaks smudgingly as he looks around.
The light of day is suppressed by the leaves of the growing trees, and this place, where the leaking day is pouring around and the sound of the river flowing sounds cool, also seems like the perfect place for a date spot if you try to be the one who knows nothing.
If you try Kenny, I wanted to come here alone with Ray with a sandwich or something, not an act of stripping the material if I could... to be honest.
Though I'm pretty sure Ray and I were satisfied when we were able to get here together.
Without a wind that cared about Kenny like that, Ray takes the black sea bream monster, Baelos, out of Mystering.
"Yikes!
From Kenny's mouth when he saw such a baelos, he screamed.
Yesterday, Baelos took it out and showed it to me.
But still, if a monster that's nearly three meters long shows up all of a sudden, it startles me.
Not to mention the fact that I really don't recognize Kenny because he's not the kind of monster I'm used to seeing in the Guild, but because he's a monster living in the ocean.
"Well, so... you brought me the tools to peel the scales, didn't you?
"... Huh? Oh, yeah. One of the guild seniors said he used to work as an adventurer in a city near the sea, so he asked me to lend it to him.... So it's a little late to go to the rendezvous place"
With that said, Kenny turns to the carriage carriage carriage carriage and brings an oddly shaped blade from there.
Seeing that blade like drawing a large curve, Ray thinks like he remembered seeing something...... and eventually remembers.
It's a weapon that came out of a comic book I saw when I was in Japan, a blade called Shortel.
A blade that makes it possible for the opponent to attack using a shield to avoid that shield, even if the opponent is using the shield to prevent it from attacking because it is heavily bent.
Of course there were many different shapes from the Shortel that Ray saw, but still definitely resembled a weapon called Shortel as a big mess.
The size is also considerable, and for Ray, who has the perception that it is Shortel, it is already only the perception that it is a weapon, not a tool.
"That's a vicious substitute."
"Really? From what I can tell, it looks a little hard to use.... and this, for once, seems to be a magic item, so Ray, aren't you interested too?
There were other tools for scaling, of which Kenny chose this because he had been told by the person he talked to that this was the easiest to use... most importantly, the fact that the tool was a magic item was the biggest factor.
Ray's collection of magic items is a fairly well-known story.
As a matter of course, Kenny knew that, and if he showed Ray's strange magic item, he thought it would please him.
In fact, Ray turns an intriguing gaze when he hears that the blade that looks like Shortel is a magic item.
"Yes, this"
Kenny gives Ray such a light hand over the magic item he had.
Ray, who receives it, asks Kenny as he looks at the blade.
"So, what effect is this on a magic item?
"Whatever, the shape of the blade is in line with what you're touching."
"... I mean, when you hit this blade on the fish torso and then start the magic item, the blade changes shape, and you peel the scales off with it, and?
"That's what the guy who lent it to me said, Ray, can you?
"I don't know. I'll take it from here."
That said, near the Ella of Baelos lying on the ground... letting the blade of Shortel touch the area of the scaly torso shed magic.
Then the blade part changes shape slowly... yes, quite slowly.
(Uh... I thought it would be interesting if I could use it in action or something, but at this rate, it's a little hard to use. If you'd changed shape in an instant, I'd have used it in action. Don't you have to negotiate the purchase?)
It's definitely a convenient substitute when stripping the scales off, but I guess the place to use it was too limited and for Ray it wasn't like wanting that much.
Together, Shortel, who hung for nearly thirty seconds and formed the shape of Baelos' torso, is allowed to slide slowly, not to hurt himself.
"Oh, I'll have this one. I don't think it's going to work recoil if it's this big."
With that said, Kenny holds down the tail part of Baelos.
Inside, I think of it as' working with you, Ray, 'but there's nothing like putting that on your face, seriously holding your tail.
At the same time, I wonder how delicious Baelos is, and I guess that's what makes me think so, because Kenny is a cat beast man.
"... that's hard"
Ray scales off Baelos while using Shortel, but it's harder than he thought.
I guess I just don't know how to add or subtract it because I have little experience of scaling fish.
Not to mention because today is the first time I've used a blade called Shortel.
Although scales can be peeled, at the same time, fish skins have been peeled together in many places.
Originally, Ray was never good at peeling.
Since he was aware of it, he had actively refined the technique and was now able to possess skills slightly above average, but that was only for monsters on the ground… or flying in the sky.
Some sea monsters were really different from monsters on the ground, and that was supposed to make Ray hassle free as a result.
Still, if scales are carefully peeled, they succeed in peeling all scales without eventually being that bad.
It was natural to store this scale firmly in mysteries than it could be sold as a material as well.
"I'm done scaling the hardest, so it won't be hard later. I don't even have a gut."
Ray can't deny the words Kenny uttered after he finished stripping both scales on the table and back.
Originally, it is the treatment of fish guts that has a different difficulty than scaling.
Break the stomach, remove it so as not to damage the gut, and cut it properly.
However... Baelos has torn his belly skin and almost flushed his guts into the sea as bait for fish, shellfish, and crabs due to a disturbance when capturing him.
When that happens, all that remains is the part to eat, not the ingredients… only the use as ingredients.
"Put it down to three... then is it a bit difficult to be this shooter? I don't know, I can't even use a knife."
Baelos is nearly three meters long.
Naturally he was thick, and it was quite impossible to bring it down to three sheets with just a knife.
(If I had a knife like a Japanese knife, like I use at a tuna demolition show or something, it would seem useful at times like this)
Looking at the knife, Ray wonders what he should do.
Of course I can't put it down to three with a knife, but that's not why I can't.
However, if you imitate like that, you will undoubtedly be worn out and you will also remain massive in your bones.
If it's a knife, it's possible to rip yourself out of that bone.
(I think that's what it felt like to fall inside)
I remember Ray in Japan, but that's why it's not funny to go out of your way to try to cut yourself into bones.
"Death size..."
"Hey, hey Ray, you!? That's not too much of anything!? I think you should use that shooter if you want to use Death Size."
Suddenly I guess I found out what Kenny was trying to do to Ray, who said the word Death Size.
As I panicked, I tell you so.
From Kenny's point of view, the monster named Baelos looked very tasty.
In fact, the drawings found in the library also said they were very delicious, so there was no doubt that they were delicious.
So Ray's unconstitutional monster... no, cutting the fish is not acceptable as a cat beast man.
"So this Shortel... Shit, you're attracted to the smell even though you have no guts and little blood left? Kenny, wait a minute near this fish."
Feeling signs of approaching, Ray looks troublesome to say and gives Shortel to Kenny.
I saw how Ray was doing, and I don't know if something was... a monster or a wildlife, but I guess I understood that whatever it was, it was getting closer.
Kenny holds the handed Shortel and turns his gaze to the carriage.
It was Kenny's honest thought that if a horse was attacked, it would taste all kinds of nasty and he would want the manpower to protect it.
Kenny has learned minimal escort as the guild's receptionist, and he has high physical abilities as a cat beast.
Still, there's nothing you can do if you come out to be a high-ranking monster.
It was Kenny, who trembled just a little, but Ray takes the Death Size and Dusk spear out of the mysteries to reassure it and opens his mouth.
"I'll take care of it. You'll be safe with me."
Tell him so, and when he smiles at Kenny, Ray runs straight out toward the one approaching the signs.
There was already no emotion of fear in Kenny dropping off Ray's back like that... I can feel relieved just watching, only Ray's grin was burning hard.
