"Hmm, I see. … are you still fond of the Deep Red?"
"Right. Considering the guy who tried to take your stuff from your grandmother got caught, I think that's fine."
"Um, I'd like that griffon to be peeled off if I could. Can't you?
"You don't know what to do. Keep moving as instructed from above. If you bump into Ray in the middle of nowhere, that's what we're gonna smash into in one shot. It's literally a piece of flesh."
That room, where several men and women exchanged conversations, was quite luxuriously furnished.
Originally, it would have been sufficient to have some furniture, especially to the extent that there was no disability, but because of the woman's willingness to strip the griffon, I purposefully decided to purchase lavish furniture.
Most importantly, the financial burden is insignificant compared to the amount I received as military funding for this job, so I don't have to worry about it that much.
"But it's griffon peeling, isn't it? It's not as easy to get as a dragon."
"I know how you feel, but if you imitate that, you're gonna piss Ray off even more than you do now, right? Our role is only to investigate Ray's character. How can I imitate it and be angry, how far is it okay? I'm sorry I fought in person to find out what's around it."
To the man's words, did the dissatisfied woman offend her mood or deflect her gaze with her lips pointed.
"Ha ha ha. Ma, I guess that's natural. I've seen that Ray thing from afar, too, but I found it to have tremendous power behind my back. I don't care how much I win."
"Uh, I agree with that. Besides, what happened and what happened, the Princess General and the Empress of the Bestian Empire, the former Alliance Master are with us. Honestly, it's about that bandit I could beat."
Everyone in that room is convinced of the words of the man who was caring for his favorite dagger.
Ray leads the rank B party, Red Lotus Wings.
Its power is very high, and that's what makes it equal to or more powerful than Rank A Party.
Besides, since we are now even acting together to Elaine, who has the alias of General Princess, it was understood by everyone that if we get our hands on the detour, we will only die.
Some of those here want to challenge Ray, Seto, Elaine, Marina, and Vihera to battle to taste the thrill of Ningro's death.
But at the same time, I have to prioritize my work over my own pleasure, beyond the professionalism that I have received.
Happy or unhappy, only those who know it are gathered here.... No, it was gathered because they were such people, is that accurate?
"Nevertheless... a deep red ray, huh? To be honest, how far is the rumor true... in some cases I just thought he was letting the bard spread the big rumor."
Everyone in their respective rooms will shut up about that one word of a man who has been silent until now, at will.
I didn't say anything special in particular, but there was still something just to sum up the various and habitual ones.
"Carles, what are you gonna do?
"What do we do, what? You're still using these bloodthirsty people to find out what's going on with Ray, right? Then you just have to wait and see."
"... no, but... what do they know about Ray?"
He said he wanted Griffon stripped, the only woman in this says slightly dissatisfied with Carles' words.
……
"Hih!"
But the moment Carles turns his gaze, a scream comes out of the woman's mouth.
For a moment... it was really a moment, but there was definitely a killer in the room.
Yes, it flowed.
It wasn't just directed at the disgruntled woman, it was directed to everyone in this room.
The killing spirit, too, has disappeared beautifully in the next moment.
"Rest assured. Nothing. We don't need to rush that far now. The redcloth people are just watching how things are going. Fortunately, deep reds will also cage in the guilds for a while in the coming winter. Besides, the people who hired us said it could take a while."
"Oh, yeah. And now, thanks to the construction work, the number of people is huge, so we're not noticeable either."
One of the men rushes to agree to Calles' words.
Everyone gathered here was very distinctive, but I understood that Calles was above us.
... but even though all my strong men are gathered together because such culles hold together those who are here, they are not broken as a group.
"Uh, so. According to the information I gathered, Ray likes to eat. In fact, coming up with some new dishes, it seems to be spreading it to the guild."
In fact, even Harbor Street Emosion spreads the dish called seafood okonomiyaki, but it doesn't come up on the topic whether there's that much more information in it, or whether you've decided you don't have to bother to put it in your mouth around it.
"Oh, I know that, too. Udon, meat, pizza...... that's what it is. They were all delicious, so I'm impressed."
When the man who was sharpening the dagger said so, the others agreed with it.
In fact, there are times when that was an attempt to do something about the atmosphere that drifted in the room, but I guess the thought was that it actually ate and tasted better than that.
"And there's something about goblin meat in connection with improving the flavor by lending a hand to a stall that was selling meat."
In the words of a different man from the dagger, those who were listening to it nod to push and kill the surprise that is in them.
That was the same for Carles again.
The technique of making goblin meat so delicious was welcomed with surprise.
"Percy, is this the Chamber of Commerce? Maybe we should do people there, too."
"No. It's not the Percy Chamber of Commerce, it's the Percy Tools Store. A guy named Maryo over there. Looks like he studied it with Ray so he could eat some goblin meat."
"Percy Tools is bringing together all kinds of cooks. Most of them don't have a lot of goblin meat yet, so they don't have a lot of people who actually cooked and tried it."
From that topic, the story gradually spreads to things like what kind of meat is goblin meat?
Few of them have had nothing to eat in their childhood before they gained such power as they do now... and have endured intense nausea to live and ate goblin meat.
That's why if you know there's a way you can eat goblin meat deliciously, you're interested in it.
I wonder how much that unsavory meat has tasted.
"Hmm, if that's all you care about, why don't we go eat at some store once"
'Huh?'
To those words that came out of Calles' mouth, all the others who had been talking about the goblin meat voiced surprise.
Because I didn't think Carles would suggest it that way, even if I wanted to eat it.
"Um... are you sure?
The red dot woman asks in such a way as to be afraid, but Calles nods back at such a woman that nothing is wrong.
"I'm a little interested in goblin meat, too. … I think it's really subtle whether it tastes as good as it's rumored."
With that said, Calles rises up and looks around at those who were in the room.
"Well, shall we go? It would be nice to rely on people, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to look directly at the gilm with our own eyes. Right now, this guild is about to winge big. Yes, exactly from city to city. The only way you can see that sight is to be present in history."
Those listening in the room to such a Carles speech show their own attitude.
Some gaze at you like you're intoxicated, while others look at you that way if you don't.
But... Still, I couldn't help but listen to all the people in the room.
"It is a great pleasure for me to be able to see a piece of that history.... Most of all, I'm somewhat concerned that there's a lot of extra troubles, but that wouldn't be so bad if I thought of it as another accompaniment.... Come on, shall we go? To see history."
Getting out of Carles' mouth was a big deal... it was too big a word, but it still never meant it was wrong.
The only city that existed on the periphery of Gilm changed its size from a city to a city thanks to its growing population… and massive building resources called the Trento Forest.
That's as if the butterfly feathers from the chrysalis.
It was a facade that wasn't originally that interested in adding that much to the gilm, but if you say so from Carles's mouth, maybe I could take a look at it for a little while? I also think.
A glimpse of such a fellow, Carles grins with satisfaction and opens his mouth.
"Apparently, everyone's been interested. Above all. So shall we go?... So, you mean eat goblin meat, but do you know exactly where you can eat it?
"Ah. Oh, yeah. I understand the area well. They're serving it in several cafeterias. I was just talking about all the cafeterias being pretty crowded, so it might be a little cumbersome."
Being able to eat goblin meat is so shocking.
I saw something scary - in this case, you ate it - and once someone wants to try a dish with goblin meat, and if you spread the word that the person who ate it actually tasted good, some of the people who heard about it ate goblin meat... and a new guest appears out of that customer's reputation again.
Exactly, there would be no phenomenon more worthy of the word word word word word of mouth.
On top of that, cooks who have been lucky enough to get goblin meat discuss with each other what kind of meat they will use to cook so that if they can, they won't wear it with other shops, and decide the general direction.
... Although, from the outset, Maryo thought a lot of things, and there were shops where she picked a cook who wasn't good at cooking and sold goblin meat, and there was nothing like a big commotion.
"Hmm, so... why don't we just go around and pick up a few? I don't like the fact that there are a lot of people, but if that's about it, you can put up with it."
Follow that word, and when Carles and the other faces are ready to go outside, they leave the room.
Most of all, those gathered under Calles are distinct faces in many ways.
Some wore thicker coats than they deserved in the winter, while others remained thin, which was somewhat noticeable.
… but still somewhat because the guilds are packed with different people.
Especially this year, there are more people than usual for the purpose of building additions, and there are by no means fewer of them who stand out than the Calles.
There are words like in the woods if you want to hide a tree, but that's exactly what the current Guild deserves.
In some cases, that's because some people have a more intense personality than the Calles.
"Well, let's go to a store that sells sandwiches made from stir-fried goblin meat first. Then it's easy to eat."
"Er... is that a sandwich? I don't feel like bread right now."
"Then you won't have to eat it. I'm not asking you to eat everything."
"Mm-hmm. What is that? Is that a sweet look at me?
"Ha, who said that? Nothing. I didn't say that, did I? Look, I'm talking about some of the dishes that use goblin meat that take a lot of time. You should eat that one, right? Either way, you can't eat all the food."
"Besides, you said you could eat goblin meat, so you ended up talking about goblin meat, right? That's why oak meat is better than pure flavor."
One of Carles' buddies shrugs, but in fact that was true.
Just because goblin meat is ready to be eaten deliciously doesn't mean it's like oak meat, it's better than monster meat that tastes better than rank.
"Look, guys. I'll be there. This winter we will be busy with a lot of things about the deep red, so let's try to take our time to nourish our English."
When Carles says that, everyone follows him very closely.
... but I don't know Calles or any other faces.
That Ray will be leaving the Guild in a few moments to go to the Duke of Kelp.
What I don't know about that yet is whether it's good or bad for Calles...
