"Yummy!

Lew eats the dishes he serves for lunch quite deliciously.

Most importantly, the dishes served themselves are not that expensive.

That is the extent to which food is normally eaten in the dining room in the Guild.

... I'm sure you understand that, too, but it's still a pleasure to be able to eat such warm, freshly made dishes away from the city.

"If Lew also has an alias, can you buy a Magic Pouch kind? With that, you can normally carry it with you, even if it's not a preserved meat or something.... Well, lunch on the day we left... no matter how well we do, we'll only be able to eat until dinner or so."

It's already been autumn lately, but still much warmer during the day.

The fact that it is warm, not hot, is probably evidence of the season's progression… Still, the likelihood of food being damaged could not be denied.

"I don't mind going out on a request or anything, but it hurts to be unable to eat Schmine's handicrafts."

That look of smudging and squeaking showed how much Lelew loved his own wife.

Most of all, Elaine and I were told the same story over and over again in Seto's cage, and she had the look that she was tired of hearing it.

"Even when I'm making a request, I'm just motivated by the fact that I can eat good food."

"That's right, but if you're eating dishes that smell delicious in the woods, isn't that what monsters attack you or something?

The smell of stimulating appetite naturally attracts not only adventurers, but also animals, monsters and, in some cases, bandits in the woods.

As I was so worried, Lew says, because I can't beat someone like that... not simply because it smells so annoying to be attacked during a meal.

In the first place, Lew is a Rank A adventurer with a disease alias.

Even if the monsters around there attacked, that would be easier to defeat if it were a reliever.

Most likely, the result will be zero meals on the ground.

"Right. Perhaps if we were normal... we don't have to worry about that because we have Ceto."

"Gru!"

Seto, who was eating a chunk of Lizardman's meat, was called by his own name, I'll take care of it! and honking.

Ray continues, most of all to Lew, who looks at Seto with envy.

"If you feel signs of Seto, you wouldn't normally come close. But some people don't understand the signs of Seto, so it's not like they can feel completely safe."

Several monsters, including goblins among the monsters, challenge their opponents to battle fine, even if they are analogically Ceto.

And if we are overwhelmed by Seto's power, we must flee immediately.

In addition, there are many who cannot basically be adventurers in the ranks of bandits.

If you are a somewhat armed bandit, like you were operating around Subrusta, many still do not have the ability to observe the strength of their opponents, basically bandits operating in places like the countryside.

Ray has been through so many times before, things like having a griffon ceto attack him without even realizing it.

... Most of all, bandit hunting is a hobby, but the bandits call it bandit eating.

If the target is a bandit, that's what Ning Lo Ray will do to the bandit.

"So, how long exactly does it take to get to Goltz?

Vihella asks while eating soup with plenty of seafood, made from fish that the Rays have just caught at sea.

It was a soup that the Rays had made at the expense of the ingredients in the dining room, but still seemed slightly dissatisfied, probably because it would taste less than the decadent seafood soup made by Bistol.

It's a good enough soup if you eat it normally, but it was only natural that it would be harder to score than if you had tasted a better soup.

"Um, yeah. Given Seto's speed, I'm sure he'll arrive around noon tomorrow morning."

Lew gives a subtle look to the marina, who lightly answers Vihera's questions.

I want to get to Goltz as soon as I can and attack what seems like a dungeon.

I'm pretty sure that's what I thought, but still I didn't expect to arrive at the Goltz tomorrow......

From what Lelew had heard from the workers, the journey to the Goltz should not have been as quick as it could have been.

(Even if we think about the same aliases, there is no chance of winning at the point where Seto is present. And I also have an item box)

Of course, there's no way Lew thinks anything about Ray and the others.

Still, since I was a young man as an adventurer - and I'm still young enough - I have the perception that I'm a senior to Lew, who has shown up at the head.

That's why, as adventurers, I had quite a rivalry against the face of the Red Lotus Wings led by Ray... the Rays experienced and understood for themselves that their abilities stood out in various ways.

Seto's mobility, Ray's item box, and Marina's spiritual magic.

This is the only characteristic I can think of all the time, and naturally the must-have fighting power for adventurers is also extraordinary.

"With that said, what can I ask you now, is Lew working solo?

Lew nods back to Ray, who brilliantly ignores the slight glitch that happened inside Lew and asks.

"Oh, right. Sometimes they let me in temporarily somewhere, but I basically work solo."

"... well, if you have an alias, that's not weird either"

Marina, who was listening to Ray and Lew, whines briefly.

Essentially, adventurers are usually partying and working together.

Especially if you are a high-ranking adventurer, it is not uncommon that the requests you receive will also be challenging, especially in the category of crusade requests to fight high-ranking monsters.

Fighting such high-ranking monsters is undoubtedly as good as more power, and solo is quite unfavourable.

However... even in such unfavourable circumstances, it is the adventurer with the alias who has no problem.

In this Elgin, where quality is not uncommon to outweigh quantity, an adventurer of aliases is typical in terms of quality.

That's why there's nothing surprising about being asked that Relieu is a solo adventurer.

Not to mention that Marina, as a former guild master, knew about Lew, who naturally had a disease alias.

Since Marina left the Alliance Master to the workers, I couldn't deny the possibility that they might be partying more than it's been a long time.

Even if you're an adventurer with an alias, it's definitely safer to throw a party.

Around it will be proven by Elk, who is partying with his family, despite having the alias the Axe of the Thunder God.

… It is also true that if you have the ability to push through like an alias, there are not so many people to party with in the first place.

Even in the case of Elk, I'm pretty sure it's a fringe party because his wife Min is a Rank A Adventurer wizard and the other party member is his son Rodos.

"Oh, yeah. In that sense, you Red Lotus Wings are a miraculous party, made of people of more than a certain strength.... It's just beautiful."

That's what Lew said, but the tone doesn't make me look envious of Ray on the back.

He's a loving wife's family, and because he's a Schmine strand of his wife, I guess he doesn't see other women as such, even if they recognize them as beautiful.

(Obviously some guys are weaker than others, but that's not what I'm talking about around here.)

Looking at Bühne even eating the food, Lelew thinks that way.

Biune was much stronger than when he was in Eggzil, but still, in a party called Red Lotus Wings, its power is inferior.

But imitations like saying something about someone else's party don't reliew.

Because other people have other people's circumstances, so I understand from previous experience that imitating something like sticking your mouth in it can be a hassle later.

After that, there's nothing to say, finish your meal...

"Well, let's do a little mock fight, shall we?"

After a short break after lunch, Vihella tells Lew.

In such Vihera's words, Lew gives a subtly unpleasant look.

Even if this was the first time I met the Rays, I heard the rumors about the Rays, naturally.

And there were rumors about how much Vihella fought... and how much she preferred to fight strong enemies, so Lew somehow understood how this would flow.

Still, we didn't reject it because we needed to understand each other's power in challenging the dungeon from now on.

Ray and Elaine don't know how to fight Lew themselves, and that's even though Lew also knows the intensity of the Rays rumours, he never confirmed it with his own eyes.

Only the former guild master Marina knew how to fight on both sides, but she was sure it would be quicker to actually show that fight in person than the Marina would explain it all.

For that reason, exercise begins somewhat too radical when it comes to exercising after a meal…

"Let me tell you something, no fatalities."

"Right. I'm afraid I have to."

Bottom of mind...... exactly to the words of Vihera, who unfortunately tells from the bottom of his heart, Lew turns his gaze to Ray, the party leader.

I guess you're really gonna be okay, huh?

It was a gaze with that meaning in it, but Ray just returns a grin.

(Dude, he's trying to kill me here because he's suspicious... there's no such thing as that, is there?

That's what I thought was Lew's joke, but motivated... no, seeing Vihera full of willingness to kill even makes me feel like I can't necessarily tell that's a joke.

Regardless, I have no intention of doing that to the Rays.

Lew feels himself in danger only because of Vihella's struggling instincts to fight powerful enemies.

"Well then... shall we begin"

Tong, Tong, and Vihera, who was lightly kicking the ground with her toenails, kicks the ground with a glossy grin delighting in her battle with her mighty enemies.

The rate was surprisingly eye-opening, making it a reliever with an alias for disease.

But just because I'm surprised by the speed, Lew won't allow Vihera to attack either.

The moment Lew leaps backwards and dodges Vihella's fist, which he sees stretching... kicks the ground with unbeatable momentum from Vihella as he lands on the ground.

As his fist approaches while he sees the evasive figure of Vihera, Lelew waves a long sword that remains stuck in his sheath.

The speed of that blow is quick, and that's what a normal adventurer would be attacked with no idea what happened.

But... Vihella also sees Lew's attack well and avoids that blow just by moving her body a little bit.

On the contrary, he tries to tap his fist into Lew's torso as a counter.

The fist, not the deep immersive palm of Vihela, which puts the shock of magic directly into the body, must be that once Vihela thinks about Relieu as well.

It is for the same reason that Relieu uses his long sword without pulling it out of his sheath.

With his pigeon-tailed fist stretched out, Lew plays using a long sword pattern.

The bumping sound of the armor and pattern echoed around him, creating a high metal sound.

At the same time that shock sounds, Vihella and Lelew distance themselves from each other.

Vihera smiled happily at the opponent who could accompany her attack... and Lelew had a look on her face that she wanted me to give her a break if she could.

If you try to be a reliever, Vihera is never a good opponent to be caught off guard.

I originally knew the strength of the rumor, but even if we weren't serious about each other, we tried to fight like this, and we understood that well.

Now that we know that, it's honest that we want to stop fighting any more.

"Hey, hey! You know what I'm capable of!? Then I don't think we need any more fights, what do you say!

To the words of a screaming reliw, Marina turned her gaze to the other faces and stopped the mock fight when she confirmed that she nodded with it.

... Vihera, who was stopped halfway through, seemed slightly dissatisfied.
