Legend

"... uh, worker. Who's that guy?
I was going to the dungeon and I was ready to take over...... especially Ray who bought a ton of different dishes to eat in the dungeon and tried to go to the Goltz with the dungeon in the early morning, but for some reason early in the morning...... when the 6: 00 a.m. bell rang and tried to get out of the main gate, the workers called me off.
When I saw it a while back, there was a ton of paperwork up to the floor on the butler desk, and I seemed very busy with that process, but as far as Ray can tell this way, it's not very, but it doesn't look like he's having a great busy day, a healthy worker.
And the worker was taking a guy in his late twenties or so.
It's not that it's musculoskeletal... but that I work out my body in a way that focuses on how quickly it looks... and as soon as I saw how my body moves, I knew.
There is a long sheath of swords at the waist, which would definitely be avant-garde.
But above all, Ray was surprised... by the strength of the man.
It is not very much, but it has a strength that is just not comparable to the adventurers who have come to the goal of building additions.
No, even thinking about being an adventurer in the Guild definitely had the strength to come to the top enough.
"Heh."
It is, naturally, Vihera who saw the man and muttered with a laugh that deserved to be hailed as a slut.
"Uh, Vihella, calm down"
Ray stops, but when he sees Vihella grin and feels something, the man retreats after a few reflexive steps and reaches for the long sword of his hips.
"Mr. Lelew, please calm down. She'll be fine."
"But... now I'm laughing..."
The man, called Relieu, tries to open his mouth in such a way that he is not convinced by the words of the worker, but eventually takes his hands off the weapon in such a way that he has no choice when he decides that it would be useless to say anything on this occasion.
"So? After all, why did you bring such a handful? Besides, this early in the morning."
Allegedly handsome, Lew opens his mouth with a slight grin.
"I'm your reinforcement."
"... reinforcements?
Ray turns his gaze to the worker, but the worker nods naturally to the word.
"Yep. Mr. Ray won't know, but he's a rank A adventurer with a disease alias. I think you can count on it enough as a force of war, don't you?
"No, I didn't. Why do we need to bother gaining more power? What do you mean, our party's pretty expensive, huh?
"Pretty expensive, I don't think."
To Ray's words, Lew mutters half reflexively.
He was a reliever with an alias for the disease, but the only person I can tell you can definitely beat is smaller than myself, in front of the face of the Red Lotus Wings led by Ray... that's about all I can call a girl, Beaune.
That's all the fighting power, so I couldn't have been fooled by the expression that the overall fighting power is quite high.
But that's why I didn't mean to lose so easily.
"If there's enough power over here, why bother? That's an alias, too."
Naturally, hiring an adventurer with an alias will require a commensurate reward.
That's the kind of special magic item that, in some cases, I'm sorry it's gold... like a substitute that wouldn't be so easy to buy with gold if it were normal, etc.
"It's cooperation from Master Dusker. As you know, Goltz is a city in a territory ruled by a neutral nobleman. Besides, the nobleman seems to be quite close to Master Dusker... so if we're going to challenge the dungeon, we should get a little bit of strength."
"... heh"
Did you know that? and Ray asks Marina with a gaze.
Since it was the marina who negotiated with Dusker on this one, it's not strange to know that additional force was coming, and maybe you didn't say it to surprise us... that's what I thought Ray, but seeing the marina surprised me, it was easy to predict that the marina didn't know either.
In fact, the next word out of Marina's mouth contains surprises.
"I didn't know. But... I heard you were close friends with Dusker. Still, I didn't expect you to hire Lew to accompany us."
Naturally, Marina, who was guild master before the worker, knew about Lew, who had an alias for the disease.
Seeing how such a marina looks, Ray decides for now that Relieu is a credible force of war.
"You can trust me, can't you?
And ask the worker, not the marina, Ray.
To Ray's words like that, the worker nods back that he has no problem at all.
"Yeah. He's a man I can trust. And... in his case, there's one reason why acting with the wings of the Red Lotus isn't a problem at all."
"Why is there no problem?
"That's right. Red Lotus Wings...... and Lady Elaine, who is acting with Ray and the others, is an incredibly beautiful woman. That's not so strange to have evil thoughts if you're normal."
What came out of the worker's mouth was, in a way, a natural event.
That even Ray, who has been in action with the three Elaine, Marina and Vihera for quite some time, can never be denied.
Most of all, because if you imitate the three of them in a detour, there are very few who imitate them more foolishly than that is the danger to their lives.
Still, being able to point the gaze of desire at Elaine and the others is something I'm used to, but that's not why I don't feel uncomfortable.
... If it's Ray who turns the gaze of that desire, it's something else.
"He is married. I'm falling in love with my wife. That's so much so that women other than my wife will never be seen as such."
"Come on, I'm telling you, it's not like I haven't seen you as a woman, is it?
That's what I said, Lew, but in the gaze of actually seeing Elaine and the others, the color of desire doesn't exist.
That's well understood by the Elaine and the others who are watching.
I guess you decided it was never a lie what the workers were saying to the appearance of Elaine and the others snorting.
"I see what you're saying... but it's probably a dungeon we're headed to, isn't it? It hasn't been finalized yet, but I'm pretty sure it is. And if it was a dungeon, I don't know how big of a dungeon it is, but in some cases it could be quite narrow"
"Uh... well, I know what Ray's thinking, but you don't know if you actually have to go around there"
Ray is a little troubled by Lew's words.
Troubled...... eventually, I open my mouth.
"For once, I ask you, if you take Relieu, what happens to the material of the monsters you knock down in the dungeon, the demon stones, and the allocation of treasures you might otherwise find?
This is the final confirmation word out of Ray's mouth.
The biggest goal of the Rays going to the dungeon this time is the core of the dungeon, which is needed to increase the level of Death Size terrain manipulation.
But other than that, we are naturally looking for monster materials and demon stones.
Especially if it is also a dungeon, you may be able to obtain the kind of Demon Stone you have never been able to obtain, and in that sense Ray expects quite a bit of it.
Most likely, a monster falling off a cliff and corpsed on the ground is only a monster that doesn't make sense because it seems to be facing each other like goblins, cobolts, and oaks.
Still falling from the dungeon to the ground, a monster who is dead is probably one of the weaker in the dungeon......
In fact, some of the dead monsters are orcs, so I guess it's not always that likely that only the weaker monsters are.
Anyway, no matter how much you rely on it as a force of war, if you're forced to follow me and they want the treasure you got in the dungeon too, there's absolutely no profit to take if you try it on the Rays... not translated, but the detriment is obviously greater.
But to the words he asked with such thoughts, Lew shook his neck sideways without looking particularly concerned.
"Oh, I don't need anything from the dungeon."
Ray is naturally surprised by the words he was lightly told.
So, what are you going to the dungeon for?
"Challenging a dungeon is, naturally, life-threatening. That does not change, for example, even if you are an adventurer with an alias. And yet, when you don't need anything, that's what you say?
"That's right. You've already got your reward, Dusker."
"... if you don't mind, may I ask what that reward is?
Despite challenging the dungeon, if you still don't want any reward, just say so.
I heard you already got that from Dusker, and Ray wonders.
Of course... it's not like I want to know anything, but if it's still possible, I want to know.
I think so. To Ray's question, Lew nods honestly and opens his mouth to see if he has any particular problems.
"A moment ago, Schmine... oh, that's my wife's name. That Schminer got very sick. The disease was a rather troublesome one, but Master Dusker had the materials to make the magic pills necessary to cure it."
"Uh... I see"
That much made it easy for Ray to understand what Lew owed him, too.
Given Dusker's character, even though he has the means to cure Lew's wife's illness, which is invaluable to Guild, he won't have the option of not cooperating with it.
If this is normal...... that is just the rank C adventurer, the rank B adventurer, then Dusker might not have had anything like handing over magic drug material at his decision as a lord either.
But an adventurer with an alias is just like a trump card, so rare and so highly combative.
If such a presence is to attach itself to the Guild, that would be the acceptable expense of some.
Of course, some of them don't feel thankful... but in the case of Lelew, fortunately, there was just enough distinction to feel thankful properly.
(But if you did... if you can use an adventurer with an alias for free, why bother with our quest for a dungeon?
Ray holds that sentiment as he looks at Reliew.
If you are free to use an adventurer with a corner alias, would it be in Gilm's interest to ask for another job more?
Yes, Ray would take it for granted.
"So that means he'll accompany you, okay? I have a job to do, so it's time to excuse me"
Ray tries to stop for a moment at how such a worker looks.
But given the amount of paperwork that was in the worker's office, there's no reason to pause the job - or even start it - and think about what you've done this way, there's no reason to call it a detour.
"Ray? Are you sure?
Trying to speak up, Elaine asks when she suddenly sees Ray stop, but Ray decides it's okay after a little thought.
You don't have to doubt it because Dusker has made arrangements and the workers are the ones who have guided you.
If you add a man poorly to this member, there's likely to be a problem with the erotic shack, but as far as Lew is concerned that he's a loving wife and a wife, it doesn't seem like he's going to have that hand problem either.
Beyond that, it wasn't a bad thing to have more power because you challenge unknown dungeons and places of thought.
... If the dungeon is large enough, we're talking about.
"You have an alias, so you don't mean you can't count on it.... Well, thank you for picking it up"
"Oh. But I'd like to come back to the guild before it's winter if I can, thank you. I don't want to worry about Schmine."
"Right. I want to stay in the Guild during the winter, too. Well, depending on the dungeon, many places are more comfortable in the dungeon in winter and summer."
For example, that was the first dungeon Ray had dived in.
Sometimes the dungeon diving with Elaine kept the temperature constant, making it an excellent place to evacuate in summer and winter.
Most importantly, the dungeon was attacked, so few people had already used it.
"That would help if you said so. Let's go, then. Let's attack the dungeon as soon as we can. Actually, I've tried the dungeon a few times, but you've never attacked me."
"I guess."
Attacking a dungeon is difficult even if it is an adventurer with an alias.
Ray, who knew it, returned a caged nod of realism to Lew's words.
