Legend

Anesis is arguably the most prosperous city in the territory ruled by the Duke of Keller and home to Elaine.

And the city means that the gilm currently under construction will be that big in a few years.

Ray now had a view of such a city called Anesis on Seto's back.

"... big, huh"

I don't know, a grunt leaks out of Ray's mouth.

Most of the whining disappeared into the winter air that irritated the skin.

Even the snow just keeps falling, so the temperature is low.

The temperature is overwhelmingly lower than on the ground, and the wind is strong, because we fly in places like altitude 100m in that.

Nevertheless, Ray is comfortable with such things thanks to his dragon robe, and Seto originally had no problem with this extent just with Griffon.

Elaine and Arla also had no problems around it because they are now in Seto cages.

As a result, it felt like I was flying through the sky while it was snowing but I didn't see any tremors in the cold at all.

If you try to be the one who doesn't like the cold, you'll definitely be jealous.

And most importantly...

"Oh, if you try these guys, I'd be absolutely jealous.... but how did you know we existed?

"Gru."

To Ray's words, ring his throat as Seto agrees.

One such person and one gaze were pointed at the figure of Wyburn flying from Anesis towards the one with the Rays.

Naturally, it flies from the home of the Duke of Keller called Anesis, so there's no way that Wyburn is just a Wyburn.

On its back were soldiers, who were commonly called dragon knights.

... However, the Dragon Knight is on board the lowest of dragons called Wyburn and Fei Long, and is terribly vulnerable to the cold.

If this is the upper dragon species, it will have no effect at all to the extent that it is snowing.

Still, it must have been because it was the flying griffon named Seto who was still approaching Anesis that sent him out while it was snowing.

(Due to the influence of Seto's cage, we can't find this one from below. Really, how the hell did you find us?)

While in doubt, Ray strokes Seto to ask him not to attack the approaching Dragon Knight.

If it is a more superior dragon species, it is still only perceived as delicious meat for Seto, if it is about the lowest grade Wyburn.

Yellow and I are good friends for that, but I guess Seto has a lot going on around there.

"Well, how the hell do you get out? Elaine's father, the Duke of Kelevel, naturally knows me."

At the end of Ray's gaze, the dragon knight gradually approaches Seto.

Nevertheless, the Dragon Knight does not imitate any spears or bows he has or give instructions to attack Wyburn.

... Most of all, only Wyburn, vulnerable to the cold, is flying at a much slower rate than another dragon knight Ray has seen before.

Even though Wyburn has no chance of winning against the Dragon Knights when he fights Ray and Seto in plenty of circumstances, that's nothing more than suicide to imitate challenging the fight in this situation right now.

"Wait! You look like Lord Ray of Deep Red, don't you think?!?

Heh.

Ray gives a slightly impressed look to the dragon knight's hanging words.

A dragon knight is a dragon 'knight', and as a soldier, not a knight.

Bottom line as a title, but still also a historical nobleman.

Most people, in the case of dragon knights, are called first-generation nobles.

In spite of that status, it was definitely a good impression from Ray's point of view that he was not coming to order Ray horizontally.

"That's right. It's Ray, an adventurer belonging to Gilm. And there's Elaine and Arla in the cage Seto has."

I guess Ray's words were totally unexpected.

The dragon knights stop moving with a flashing look on their faces, and eventually turn their attention to the ceto cage that Ceto has in motion where they are likely to hear the sound of Gigigi,

And after a few seconds of silence, eventually the man who must be leading the dragon knights opens his mouth in a hurry.

"Wow, I get it! I'll show you to Anesis right away, so follow me!

Ray nods back at the voice of a man screaming like half a scream.

The Dragon Knights, besides screaming, look nervous to see.

That brought an aliased adventurer up close who could follow Griffon... not from... but from the presence of Elaine Kelevel with the alias of General Princess, I guess.

(Guiding us directly to Anesis means that the line is... oh, no. If you think the Dragon Knight flew away, were you unbound at that point? However, there seems to be a slight problem with that... or does that not take long to redeploy the bond)

It is unlikely that a flying monster will show up because this is not a Gilm-like border.

It's low... so if it's a village in the country, there's no way it hasn't been connected in an important city like Anesis.

Either way, now he decides he can't help thinking about it all here, and Ray asks Seto to follow the dragon knights.

The dragon knights fly toward Anesis with care not to get too close to the flying ceto.

Many took part in the war against the Bestian Empire as the Duke of Kelp, and we have heard about Ray and Seto taking down the dragon knights of the Bestian Imperial Army in large numbers on a single horseback.

That's why I'm not trying to imitate selling a fight to Ray pointlessly here.

Of course if it were an imitation of Ray and Seto attacking Anesis, he would spare no effort to resist as a dragon knight serving the Duke of Kelp.

But Ray is not being hostile to Anesis... and to the Duke of Kelp.

And most importantly, Ray, with his deep red alias, was also famous in the Duke of Keller territory for the meaning of Elaine's opponent.

Naturally, a lot of people don't approve of it.

Though thinking that way, Ray and Seto keep flying and eventually get inside Anesis.

Since there is a seto cage, it only seemed like the dragon knights were flying in line if I tried to make them residents living in Anesis.

"Gru."

Seto, who is flying with the Dragon Knight, is slightly dissatisfied with how slowly he flies.

No, if you just fly slowly, there's nothing wrong with that. But I guess it's only the first time that many horsemen of dragon knights are flying around me in a peaceful situation, somewhere unsettling.

If this means a hostile dragon knight, I'm going through a war with the Bestian Empire.

"Calm down. The Dragon Knight is not our enemy. You can think of him as one of the yellow ones."

To Ray, who tells him as he strokes Seto's neck in front of him, Seto rings his throat like he has no choice.

You instinctively perceived the grumpy appearance of such a ceto, Wyburn, the dragon knight flying around the ceto, even though the cold makes his movements dull, it becomes duller.

You must have noticed that the Wyburn you ride is frightened. A dragon knight flying the closest place to Seto - and still some distance away - called out to Ray.

"Lord Ray, the large mansion in the center is the mansion of the Duke of Kelp! Master Elaine's on board. Please drop me off in the garden!

"I don't care what garden you say... which garden?

The Duke of Keller's mansion is so vast that the word mansion does not suit him.

Naturally, from above, there were multiple gardens in that huge mansion.

Ray doesn't even know which garden to go down to, even if he just tells me to go down to the garden.

I guess I noticed that Ray's attitude. A dragon knight who told him to unload a seto cage in the garden hastily speared a garden that was wider than the surrounding area.

"There it is! Please get down there!

Nodding back at the words of the Dragon Knight, Ray sends a signal to Seto.

That signal alone leads Seto to a large garden.

Seto's wings are severely winged in the cold air of winter.

Seto, who thus descended toward the ground, gets close enough to the ground before releasing the seto cage he had.

The sound would undoubtedly have echoed the mansion of the Duke of Kelevel as well.

A few seconds later, several people appeared from inside the mansion, indicating that the skill of the guards at the Duke of Keller's mansion was commensurately high.

"We're going down to that garden, too, Lord Ray, so go on!

The dragon knight shouts as he unloads Seto's cage onto the ground, pointing it at Ray, who is back in the air again.

Ray nodded back at the words, following the dragon knights as they descended towards the ground.

The dragon knights line up properly, not until they are undisturbed... but descend to the ground with a degree of practicality close to it.

Given that it's winter now and Wyburn doesn't like the cold, I'd say Ning Lo its highly skilled.

Seto also heads to the ground with his wings winged, as he pursues such dragon knights.

The dragon knights have a different attitude to land from the Wyburn they ride, but Seto nevertheless lands safely in the garden.

... Ningro, Seto landed in the garden later than Wyburn even looked as if Seto could follow the Wyburns.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto, who lands in the garden, buzzes out of joy.

If this were a guild, a large number of people would have stroked me or fed me something to the sound of such a seth.

But... this isn't a guild, it's an anesys.

Naturally those who have never seen Seto are now in the garden, beyond being the first place to come.

No, some may have seen it when they took part in the war with the Bestian Empire, but that's just a few of them.

Many of those who are here today see Seto... no, for the first time they see a presence called Griffon.

Rank A Monster.

In Gilm, Ceto was treated as a plaything animal, but Ceto was originally a high-ranking monster such as whether adventurers would encounter it once in a lifetime.

If those who know nothing see such monsters up close, naturally it is more fear than adoration that they feel.

Not to mention, if that was a Griffon of Rank A monsters, it would have been natural.

If only those who were out in the garden had the role of escort for this mansion.

But other than that... He who came out into the garden on a mere spectacle amusement mountain saw the griffon up close, and even heard its ringing, and cried out for fear...

"Quiet!"

Rin shouts echo in the garden at that moment when the first one tried to raise a shout of fear.

Strangely, even those who were one step ahead of panic, their voices came into nature and their ears.

That way, it quiets down in the garden.

So much silence that you're likely to hear only the sound of shivering and snowing.

In such a garden, Elaine, who spoke out, opens her mouth again.

"This man is my guest. Your Griffon is your guest's subordinate and his name is Seto. And... The Guest Has A Deep Red Alias Ray"

Scratch up the glowing vertical roll of blonde hair even in the snow... Just at that time, the sunlight plunges in from the gap between the snowclouds that were covering the sky, dyeing Elaine's hair into gold.

That's all the seers...... that was the sight so beautiful that even those who were trying to scream at Seto's presence until a few seconds ago were blinded.

So much so that if you leave this sight as a painting, it will undoubtedly be a masterpiece for future generations.

"Ray, over here"

With her surroundings surrounded by silence, Elaine's voice echoes again.

Ray moved in front of Elaine with Seto to be led by that voice.

For Ray, I understood that the presence of Elaine was an uninterrupted beauty.

He also fully understood that there was something normal about him when he saw him talking with Marina and Vihera.

But...... it's also quite unusual for Ray to say Elaine, who thus puts out a strong side as a princess general.

So I walked out to be dragged by Princess General Elaine, not by Ray's knowing Elaine.

Having moved with Seto near Elaine, Ray opens his mouth knowing what he is expected to see prompted by his gaze.

"I'm Ray. A Rank B Adventurer belonging to Gilm. This is my subordinate Seto. Don't worry, Seto is basically adult and will not be done anything unless imitated to do harm. They treat me like a game animal in the Guild."

The words that come out of Ray's mouth are limitless and true... but those who are told of them cannot immediately believe.

Either way, Ray introduced himself intensely to those serving the Duke of Kelp.
