"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"Hmm? Oh, that city. Seto, you've found me well."
To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.
The city with an alchemist who could make a special potion also needed a few hours in Ceto.
Given Seto's speed of flight, I could understand how far away from the Goltz that was, and how much Ray didn't like it either.
"Still, I'm glad Seto answered my call right away."
"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr!
Really? And Ceto showing you how to lean your neck.
In fact, it took less than a few minutes for Ray to come out of the Goltz and call Seto's name out loud.
And if Ray asks lightly, Seto wouldn't have had any particular errands either, so he'll leave immediately as he is.
... Most of all, the yellow who was playing with Seto seemed slightly dissatisfied, but when Vihella stroked him, he narrowed his eyes to the feeling and immediately forgot his anger.
"So... right, will you go down to where no people are?
It was in Ray's eyes that several people walking down the street pointed to Seto, who was flying the sky... to be exact.
It can be expected that there will undoubtedly be disturbances if things were to descend on the city of destination, right on the side of Thormis.
To avoid that, I thought of going down to a deserted place and walking to Thormis.
You understand what Ray thinks like that, Seto lands a little further away from Thormis when he rattles his throat.
Griffon stepped down near Thormis, so naturally, Thormis' guards are nervous, but cautious... afraid, but approaching.
But the guards realize there's someone with Griffon... remind them who it is and raise their voices of surprise.
"I'm sorry, but maybe you're a deep red ray!
Ray nods as he walked with Seto to that call of the guards.
"That's right. Goltz's magic item store asked me to come all the way to Thormis. I need to talk to this alchemist, Wock."
Saying so, Ray takes the guild card out of the mistering and shows it to the guards.
Most of all, Seto, who is on Ray's side, was truthful about who Ray is.
For as far as it is known today, there is no such thing as subjugating Griffon except Ray.
Still, just in case, the guard gives a soothing look.
"I confirmed you were Ray himself, and at the same time I understood why you came to Thormis. Wock's workshop is somewhere a little hard to understand, but do you have any guidance?
"Don't help me if you do. If we had guards, we wouldn't even get tangled up by strange guys."
In fact, no one else would be the first to think of getting involved if Seto were normal.
But many people think that there is nothing in the world that doesn't do what they want, and it's not necessarily that such a person isn't in this city.
If so, it was definitely very helpful to say that the guards would act together for when something happened, in the sense that it would not be a hassle later.
Proceeding into the city, he receives the devil's necklace, and Ray and Seto enter Thormis with the guards.
(Inside...... well, that's not so different from Goltz. No, it's slightly more flourishing than Goltz, and is it lively?
Because of the preconceptions that there are a bunch of alchemists who can make special potions that cannot be made by alchemists in Goltz, it seemed from Ray's eyes that Thormis is slightly more prosperous than Goltz.
Most importantly, I find both quite inferior to Gilm... partly because that's true, but it also has to do with thinking that Gilm is where I'm supposed to go for Ray.
While you're thinking that way, the Rays move on, being turned to attention by the city's residents.
It is because of the devil's necklace that Seto is there but the city's inhabitants don't make a scene... most importantly, that the guards are with him.
No matter what happens, the guards can do something about it... maybe.
In fact, just a guard can't possibly fight Seto, but the city's residents think so and are relieved.
Most importantly, there is no need to worry about the residents because there is nothing that would make Seto unconscious if there was nothing left to do.
Only one thing, unfortunately...
(When you come to a new city in the corner, you can't eat anything like specialty dishes)
Yes, not very much, but it wasn't the kind of situation where I could buy and eat.
Only a city you've never been to before may have the kind of food and ingredients you eat for the first time.
It would be a lie to say that I had no such expectations while I was flying and traveling in the sky with Seto.
But... given the current situation, I can't say in the wind if I can buy and eat a little, though not very much.
Above all, it was clear that the stall and cafeteria owners were scared and wouldn't handle it properly.
"Can't you help it"
"What's up?
The guard asks if you heard Ray whining.
But Ray shook his head sideways saying it was nothing to such a guard.
"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to stop by a lot if I could. I just don't think I can do that with this."
"Uh... right"
The guards also get a convincing look at what's going on around them.
Suddenly the inhabitants who saw the presence of Griffon had a threatening gaze on Ceto and... in some cases Ray, who was following that Ceto.
The guards are acting with Ray and Seto even for a little while, so I understand somewhat that Seto is following Ray's instructions.
But I couldn't say I was free to stop by with one of them, not very much.
Most importantly, the guards don't have the authority to interfere with Rays' actions any more than they do with due process.
Still, the Rays didn't act like that because they had the feeling that if they suddenly imitated acting with Seto, they would surprise the innocent residents.
Of course, if for any reason...... if that's also like an emergency, Ray isn't going to hesitate to act on anything either.
Conversely, I did not intend to do such an imitation unless it was also an emergency.
Ray shook his neck sideways telling the guard to look at him with some sorry look on his face.
"I'm not going to be forced to do this either, and if I do what I have to do, don't worry, I'll be out of town as soon as I can"
"Really? I'm sorry. Just let me know if you need anything. If I can do it, I can do whatever I can."
"Really? Well, I'll pay you later, so it'll help if you buy me some of this city's specialty dishes."
"... what?
I guess the words out of Ray's mouth were totally unexpected.
Guards, what the hell is this guy talking about? Point your gaze at something like that.
But if you look at Ray's expression, it's immediately understandable that it's not a joke or anything, and that's what he's saying from the bottom of his heart.
That's exactly what I thought they would need, like some kind of weapon or information... totally in the form of a scratch on the back of the guard.
What's more, Ray didn't try to imitate something like that, he just said what he thought.
Then I asked for it.
That's what Ray says on top of each other, and the guards look at the sky unexpectedly.
That sky, which is still bright enough, shows us that what the guards have heard is not a dream or anything.
Sometimes if you do poorly, you hit passers-by and things, more than it is an act while walking, but are you used to walking around the city as a guard, and that's not true.
... It's also a big deal that the city's residents are rolling Ray and Seto away.
"Okay. While you're in Wock's workshop, I'll get you something appropriately. It's a specialty of this city, right?
"Oh. Do that. Luckily it's autumn now, and there will be all kinds of delicious ingredients. Naturally, there's something special about this city, isn't there?
It was a half provocative word, but it was from this city and set fire to the hearts of guards who naturally loved their homeland.
It's not funny to the guards to be told so far, but still think Thormis doesn't have good food.
"Fine. Then I'll definitely try to prepare a dish that will surprise you.... Oh, that's Wock's workshop."
Because I was walking while I was talking, I would eventually see Wock's workshop, which would be my destination.
It doesn't look like a particularly prominent workshop, where people can make special potions live, like.
(No, given the size of Thormis' city, isn't it strange that it doesn't have to be that big?
Ray knows the alchemist's workshop is not that much.
Even with them in mind, there was no such thing as a massive workshop.
Proceeding with that in mind...... eventually, we arrive.
"That Griffon over there, I'm sorry, but I can't get in. Wait outside.... You're gonna be okay, right?
"Oh, no problem. Hey, Seto."
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto is fine! And when I squeal, I roll asleep a little further away.
It was an unobstructed place to walk down the road in front of the workshop, and when I saw it, it didn't seem like Seto was going to try to get in the way of passers-by.
The guards are relieved of the matter and go inside the workshop with Ray.
"Wok, are you there?
"Hmm? Oh, Mr. Welzas? What's the matter with you?
Fortunately, Wock was inside the workshop, sorting out some sort of paperwork.
I guess this is a job as well, but it still didn't look like I was busy with the guards...... lucky for Welzas.
"I hear this man needs you.... it's a deep red ray. You've heard about his name, haven't you?
"Heh? What's deep red... you know? Bestia, you said you burned the Imperial Army together?
"How far are we talking... I burned the advance troops, and it didn't burn them all"
Rumor is that its content grows larger as it spreads, but as a Ray, I naturally don't appreciate that.
Wok in front of me...... I would correct a man in his early thirties in such a way as to...
"Wow... I know the rumors are going to be huge, but is it true you still burned them? Speaking of which, I hear Deep Red is subjugating Griffon... isn't there a Griffon?
Wok pointing his gaze at Ray such as intrigue.
But I guess that's natural, too. Because for alchemists, it's just a chunk of material I've dreamed of, such as a Griffon of Rank A monsters.
Recently there have been additions to the guilds and a lot of people have gathered, but there are a lot of alchemists in them because if they are definitely in the guilds, Griffon's... which also means that they are expecting that they may be able to get material for monsters worth rank s.
In fact, some Gilm alchemists were able to obtain such things as ceto material… missing hair and wings.
More than that, myself too! And it wasn't strange for those who thought so to come out.
"Seto would be sleeping outside. It's not impossible to go inside... but it would have been better that way."
The door naturally has to be bigger than the magic item to carry out the kind of magic item made in this workshop.
In the worst case scenario, we can break the walls... or imitate them, but we can't use such means often.
As a measure of this, the workshop doors were built correspondingly wide.
That's enough to let Seto in if he wants to.
However, as far as the reaction of the city's inhabitants is concerned, it is unlikely that such an imitation will be possible.
It's also an unmistakable fact that even if you put it inside, it's narrow there.
Beyond that, it would definitely be best for Seto to still wait outside.
... because it doesn't necessarily mean you don't have someone to get involved with on Ray, with stupid thoughts.
"I'm telling you, this isn't how Seto's material got here."
"With that said, what brings celebrities like you to me?
To the words, Ray gives a letter he took out of Mystering.
... As an alchemist, you're naturally interested in the item box, or Wock's gaze is directed at Ray's mistering.
If they still give me the letter, I'll read it...
"Huh? I would have already taken that potion..."
Yes, I told you.
