"Oh my gosh! Hey, you know who you're selling fights to!

"Even if you say so, there are no objects… there are only a few magic items that we can prepare"

Speaking to passers-by, Ray and Vihera came to the magic item store... obviously there was some kind of trouble inside.

What do we do? That was Ray asking Vihera with her gaze, but if she sees a funny color in Vihera's eyes, she immediately exhales a sigh of giving up.

I'm guessing it's happening in the store. I'm thinking about sticking my neck in trouble, because I definitely did.

"Let me ask you something, what do we do?

"You've decided to go inside, haven't you?

Ray reaches for the door as he gives up half way to Vihera, who immediately gave that back to Ray's words.

Because magic items were the purpose, Ray doesn't have the option to go home here.

And naturally, I wasn't even willing to do that to Vihera, who was willing to stick her neck in the trouble inside.

"Oops, I'm taking it in now! I'm sorry, but I need you to come back out!

I guess I heard the door open. The man tells him that without even turning around.

What was surprising to Ray was that he wasn't told in the form of an order to leave?

I'm yelling, but even apologizing in such a way as, for once, I'm sorry.

Looking at that, I could somehow imagine for Ray, and for Vihella, that the man is not unilaterally more obscure to the clerk.

Most of all, Vihera seemed a little sorry to learn that a strong man was not a one-sided villain.

"I'm here to see some magic items, but apparently not quite."

"That's right. So, I'm sorry... Ray? And Vihella?"

The man, who turned back with only his face, squeals so when he sees Ray and Vihera's face.

Most of all, a man is an adventurer to see, so it's no wonder he knows Ray and Vihella's face.

The Rays who attacked the dungeons are celebrities, especially among the adventurers.

"I don't want to get into any trouble today..."

"Then leave the store like this. I'm sorry, but there's gonna be trouble."

"Unfortunately, I don't want to get into trouble with each other, but Vihella seems to be going to move on from herself and get into trouble. So it would be helpful if you would do exactly what we say before that hassle becomes an extra big hassle."

I guess you understood that Ray... no, not exactly, Vihella would never leave.

The man sighs when he glances at the clerk who was awesome.

I turn my eyes to Ray and Vihera and open my mouth scratching my head.

"Simply put, I was asking this store for a potion that would be a special medicine for illness. But it's been almost six months and it's not looking like it's going to arrive at all.... even though he's still suffering from illness."

"Uh, I see. Is that the story?... then it's not like you don't know how either feels. For once, it's not like you're out of your hands and not getting that special potion and stuff, is it?

"Naturally."

Until a while ago, the clerk answers that without looking frightened at all, even though he was stuck with a bigger and more compelling adventurer than himself.

That didn't mean he was in a vanity, it looked like a vegetarian expression.

"But since it's a potion that requires a lot of skill to make it, in making it using relatively scarce materials, you can't make it with an alchemist in Goltz, and there are no alchemists in this neighborhood who can make it either. This means you need to find an alchemist who can make it and order it"

"Well, I guess so. Even if you force an alchemist who's short of arms to do it, it's going to fail."

"Right. But in this case, more than a certain amount of skill is the problem. What can I say, Goltz is the most flourishing city around here. This means that well-armed alchemists around here often gather in nature and goltz. … but definitely not"

Alchemists typically use alchemy to make magic items and sell them to live.

Some alchemists get help from the rich and only do research, but that would be a minority.

As a matter of course, a variety of materials will be required than living in such a life.

And the fact that Goltz is the most prosperous around here meant that materials that can be used for alchemy are also easily available.

I can't say enough about this one, as there are alchemists who only do research.

Some alchemists work in the surrounding countryside and smaller cities for reasons such as wanting to live with their families or for materials that are not available around them.

But still, overall, many alchemists still gather around here in the Goltz.

And it's obvious that making that special potion around here is worse than not being able to make it with an alchemist gathering at the Goltz.

"Then, further away… is that why we need to go to the same or more developed city as Goltz"

"It will. But naturally, if we do, we will also need the corresponding funding, and above all, we do not know when it will arrive. There's a chance that monsters and bandits will attack you along the way.... Yes, I explained, but you're not convinced."

The clerk turns his gaze to the man and says so, but the man again stares at the clerk for his frustration.

"I know what you're talking about, but he's... my sister is still suffering from illness!

Ray, who watches it, understands both the clerk and the adventurer man's feelings.

If I try to be a clerk, I guess it's honest that I can't do anything more than what they say to me to get a special potion.

And if I try to be a man, I can't stand my sister being sick and suffering.

"... what do we do?

"Even if they say so."

To Ray's words, Vihera answers as confused.

I guess it was because Vihella had a completely different direction than the rubbing she was expecting.

(Even when I was in Japan, I got in trouble because my luggage didn't arrive on schedule... I remember seeing it on the news that it ended up being violent or something, but it's a cute thing compared to this one)

In a half-reality escape mood, Ray thinks so.

In comparison to Japan, where the transportation network was developed, it is quite dangerous to travel to places such as cities, villages and cities in this Elgin.

There are problems like monsters and bandits, and besides, accidents are never unlikely.

More than that, it is never uncommon that the requested package will not arrive.

I guess the adventurer guy knows that too... but still, if he sees his sister in pain, he'll want to bump into the frustration with the clerk who asked for the potion.

"He... Munez, he's only ten years old. Because even if I'm bitter, I'm worried about this one..."

Assuming the man in front of you is in his mid-twenties, he will be a distant sister of ten years of age or older.

Ray had a few doubts about it, but I'm convinced that would happen.

"... Ray"

It was Vihera who called Ray's name.

But calling Ray's name isn't what it was until earlier.

Somewhere to rely, such a voice.

The fact that the man's sister is a ten-year-old girl must be affecting that.

It was Vihera, who ran away from the Bestian Empire and eventually came to the labyrinth city of Exil, but met Bhune by a mundane coincidence.

That's when I found out that the girl Bühne was still diving into the dungeon with a solo, and Vihera couldn't abandon it... and eventually we started acting together.

So, if you try to make it a vihela, the girl is suffering from a disease, and there is a potion that can cure it, but it doesn't arrive... you can't leave it alone.

Of course, if there was anything I could do on my own, Vihera would do it herself.

However, in this case, we need only the distance from the city in the distance and the ability to bring the potion safely.

"Uh... that's going to mean that today's date is over, okay?

Ray, too, has a bad aftertaste for imitations that look amazing if they tell you that little kids are still suffering.

I guess if I didn't know it, I wouldn't have cared about it, but if I knew it... even though I knew it was half hypocritical, I wasn't going to abandon it.

"Yep.... thanks"

At the very least, thanks and Vihera moves Ray's hood just a little and kisses the cheeks that show up.

... Was the tip of the kiss not the lips but the cheeks, because this is still public?

"... uh"

"Uh..."

The clerk and the adventurer man cloud their words at the acts carried out in front of them.

Nothing, to the extent that I kissed my cheek, it's not that uncommon.

That's because sometimes in a regular tavern or something, if a clerk's woman is anything, she imitates it in a celebratory way.

But... this time, a man of the kind of historic beauty named Vihera did such an imitation, which surprised two men, the clerk and the adventurer.

Of those two, Ray speaks toward the clerk, to be exact.

"So how far away is the city where you have that special potion and the alchemist you can make it? And what about the ingredients?

With this dialogue, the clerk and... and the adventurer man finally figured out what Ray was trying to do.

Surprise gaze at Ray, coming at me.

(At first I thought you were as faceless as Beaune, but nothing like that, you know?)

To Ray, who thinks so, the clerk opens his mouth as he changes from a surprise to a frightened look.

"Are you sure? Well, I hear you guys are going to be on a griffon, but this isn't a request or anything, is it?

"Right. Still, I know you have a sick, suffering child, but if you can just keep looking around at the Goltz with Vihera and say, can you enjoy it...... hey?

I guess the clerk guy was convinced of Ray's words like that, too.

Eventually I think a little...... open my mouth.

"This is not a request. But I think it's just working because it puts a lot of effort on the wings of the Red Lotus. Of all the magic items in this store, I would give them away instead of the reward if they were for a certain price, but what do you think?

"What are you gonna do?"

The adventurer man groans in dissatisfaction at the speed of the clerk's transformation.

Even though I've been asking myself to do something scattered before, and I haven't dealt with them at all, why did Ray say it so lightly... and that's what I thought.

But for the clerk, the reaction was natural.

In the first place, I couldn't help myself until earlier because I didn't have the means to do so.

Now if it meant that the clerk was actually an armed adventurer...... maybe he was talking differently, but the clerk is nothing but physical training, he's just a person.

That's when Ray just showed up and said he'd go all the way to the city where the alchemist is instead, so there's no reason the clerk wouldn't appreciate it either.

I wasn't saying there was anything to think of a man and there was no potion, because that's how I had to say it purely because there was no potion.

"I'm glad to hear about the magic item.... So where is that city? For once, we're leaving the Goltz tomorrow, so I just want a detailed map or something."

"Once you go along the street, you'll be fine. Unfortunately, I don't have a map."

To that word, Ray recalls that there are very few maps in this world.

Especially if it is a detailed map, it will be treated like strategic supplies.

In fact, when Ray borrowed the map from the marina before, he was firmly told that the circumstances around it would be well heard and not to lose or hurt him, let alone take a copy.

Ray, who hears the name of the city and the store to go from the clerk and receives the necessary materials and letters, sees Vihera.

"Sorry, Vihera. That's it for now. I need to get out of the Goltz once and call Seto."

"Okay.... be careful."

That said, Vihera had a full smile to encourage Ray.
