Legend

Lemuria has turned her gaze when she asked for a favor.

Ray didn't even know what kind of favor it was, but it was clear that it was no easier favor than how Lemuria... the Duke of Hulundal had spoken to himself.

What is that favor?

Yes, Ray tried to ask, but before that, Azuel opens his mouth.

"Dear Lemuria, I'm sorry, but I don't think we should listen to that, so please excuse us."

"Oh, yeah? You don't have to worry about that much.

"No, because some other people should say hello, you need to show your face there too"

"Hmm, really? That doesn't mean I can't hold you back."

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

"Excuse me."

It was the end of that story in his ear, but Azuel greets it without the way he cared about it, and walks away from the spot with Count Fanleil, who likewise bowed his head.

... Bruit was concerned about Lemuria's request, but it stayed there.

"So? Is Blueit good? If we stay here, we could get into trouble in some cases, right?

"Right. But it's kind of interesting."

"It's not that important."

It was Lemuria telling that to Ray and Bruit's words, but Elaine smiles at Lemuria like that and hangs her words.

"Duke of Hulundal, this man will not listen to this one no matter how many words he says. He decided he couldn't help being here anymore, and he asked me for a favor."

"... that's what you have left."

"I'm Ray's partner. The Duke of Hulundal said he had a favor to ask for that ray, so as Ray's partner and the Duke of Kelevel family, we can't move here."

There is a grin in Elaine's mouth that tells her so lightly.

I guess I was glad to be able to say for the most part that I was Ray's partner, not a person in the Duke of Kelevel family......

"Whoo-hoo. Young people are fine."

Lemuria watched as she smiled at Elaine like that.

That's as if you remember the old days.

But there's no way you could have listened properly if you'd made it blue-it when you were asked to fall in love like that.

I scratch my hair with a face that says it stinks, and I turn that gaze to Lemuria.

"So, what the hell is a favor after all?

"Huh? That's what you said. That's why I'm here, so there's no way I'm not gonna talk to you about favors."

Lemuria was looking happy, but that gaze is accidentally pointed at Ray.

In that gaze was undoubtedly sincere...... then, an intense emotion that was looking for something from the bottom of my heart.

That's the emotion of so much strength that an old woman like Lemuria doesn't deserve to float.

"So? What exactly is a favor?

"Uhm.... Lord Ray, what Non wants from the Lord is to talk about Griffon, the Lord's submissive."

"... Seto's?

You didn't expect Seto's name to come out here, there was a surprise in Ray's expression when he said something unexpected.

That's the same with Elaine and Bruit who were listening.

No, on the contrary, some of the nobles who were watching things a little further away from the Rays stopped moving when they heard the word Griffon.

In the aristocracy, Seto, who is currently in this mansion - a stables to be exact - is a topic that should not be touched upon.

The Count of Caselles, who thought shallowly whether to obtain that ceto or to do harm, bore the heavy disposition of removal from the aristocracy.

Above and beyond that, if you imitate your hands on Seto in a detour at present, it could have the worst possible consequences for you… no, not just for yourself, but for your own home.

Nevertheless, I didn't know I would touch that with dignity on such a party occasion. I can't help but think of those who were listening that way.

(In that sense, I guess the Azuels were smart. I didn't come all the way here to hear it from you, as far as the people who heard about us are concerned)

The aristocrats around the Rays probably watched the timing of face-to-face talks like Ray, Elaine and Lemuria.

Count FanLyle, who talked to me in the first glance at the timing, is not here already, and that's why many people thought I was… next.

But this time, that has bad consequences for the nobles.

At a time when Lemuria, the Duke of Hulundal, had consulted Ray, it was a disastrous form of misunderstanding that did not leave the scene.

In that sense, I guess Azuel was right in his judgment.

As he sees it, Ray turns his gaze to Lemuria.

The color there is, faint vigilance.

If Lemuria was going to force herself to get Ceto, that's what Ray was going to do, even if the other woman was an old woman, with the attitude she deserved.

But Lemuria, who was so pointed at Ray's gaze, doesn't seem to have moved at all.

If Ray is serious, even though Lemuria's life disappears in an instant.

Ray loosens his gaze only slightly to Lemuria, who turns his gaze to himself that makes him feel quiet, then strong will.

Even less, because I understood that, unlike Count Caselles, there was no question what he was going to do with Seto.

"So? What can I do for you, Seto?

Attitude was a loose ray, but still not a conversation using the kind of reverence that bends over, as in the beginning.

attitude because we decided it was a reciprocal position in a way.

"Oh, actually, Griffon... is that Seto? I don't know if I can say this, but I want fresh wings."

"The wings?

I was wary Ray was going to tell me exactly what to do to transfer Seto or something like that, but I didn't think he'd want wings.

No, I understand perfectly well that the alchemist wants Ceto's wings.

But it was totally unexpected that nobles... would want it too.

At first I questioned Lemuria's words, but what Lemuria sees herself in her gaze is by no means a joke or anything, but a serious color.

"Thing is, can we talk here?

"No... it's just not possible to talk here until around there. Lord Elaine, would you please get us a room?

"Okay. Let me get it ready right away."

To Lemuria's words, Elaine tells her softly so.

But that's not a funny story.

In the case of such a large party, it is only natural that a number of private rooms will be available that combine the rest rooms.

A party is also a place of politics for the nobles.

However, it also means having a place to tell stories that other people don't want to hear, to rest in the event of illness, or in some cases a place where lovers enjoy intimate moments.

It was only natural that private rooms should be made available for various purposes as a party organizer.

Not to mention that this is the mansion of the Duke of Keller, who leads the aristocracy, so there's no trouble with the number of rooms.

So Elaine nods lightly at Lemuria's words and leaves the party venue.

... Most of all, Elaine disappeared from the venue, which can also be called the biggest hua of this party, causing some regret to the participants in the party.

Private room just a short distance from the party venue.

Sitting on the couch in that room, Ray was facing Lemuria.

Note that due to the size of his body, Bluitt is sitting on another couch, not next to Ray.

Elaine sits next to Ray and carries tea to her mouth.

... still, this tea was brewed by Elaine.

Lemuria and Bruit were both surprised when Elaine first said she was going to make tea, but Ray, who is quite used to drinking Elaine's tea, accepted the action without being particularly surprised.

A sip of such tea, Ray opens his mouth.

"So, what makes you want Seto's feathers?

"There is a sick man in the blood of Noun."

Ray no longer looks like he cared about Lemuria's end of the story, and leans his neck towards the word.

"Sick?"

"Mm-hmm. It's a pretty rare disease, not that my life is in immediate danger, but it's still quite inconvenient for me to live my daily life."

"That's... that's troublesome"

If you are a disease whose life is otherwise, that is definitely very troublesome.

But even if my life had nothing else to say, it was definitely quite a hassle, as Ray said, to be inconvenient in living my daily life.

(like hay fever)

The first thing Ray can think of was that.

Fortunately, no one in Ray's family had hay fever, but that's just Ray's family.

Even Ray's acquaintance had a few hay people.

Such people, every spring, wore masks to keep them from inhaling a little pollen, carried box tissues, and even some of them had dedicated goggles.

Besides, once it gets hay, it's every year.

Hay is nothing else in your life, but it's definitely still an obstacle to living your daily life.

Seeing it, Ray agreed to Lemuria's words because he knew more or less.

"You know what I mean?

"Oh.... just figured out the whole story. In other words, with Ceto's blades, you can treat the disease and make it lighter. Didn't I?"

"No, I'm not."

To Ray's words, Remlia nods instantly.

Seeing that, Ray didn't know how it felt... but that's why he can't give up Seto's wings for free.

If we imitate it here for free, there is no doubt that those who find out about it will say they want it too.

Beyond that, if we gave Ceto's wings, we needed to get the right price.

(Well, it's not strange that Seto's wings would have fallen quite a bit on Gilm's stables.... Oh, but can't you do that because you said it was fresh or something? I don't know exactly how fresh it is though. Like the wings in the stables of the Duke of Keller's mansion?

The wings should naturally have fallen on the stables where Seto now resides.

That's not so strange to think that if the alchemist knew the area, he wouldn't be able to get it somehow.

"But I didn't even know it would work that way on Seto's wings."

"Because it's a special illness. I think there are many other ways to use Griffon blades."

"I got the story. If Seto wants Griffon to accept it, I don't mind giving him the blades. It just doesn't work in the wind that there's no price... what do we do?

To Ray's words, Remlia nods as she agrees.

I didn't think Ray would snort so easily if I tried Lemuria.

That's why I don't want to do anything that would be a nuisance to Ray.

"Hmm, right. I can borrow one from Nong, but other than that... oh, yeah. What about the jewels?

"Gems? No, it's nothing. I..."

"Gems!?

I have no taste in collecting gems.

That's right. When Ray tries to say it, Elaine screams to block it.

Elaine, who is usually calm and settled, rarely exposes her surprises so far.

So why is Ray here? Question.

If you try to make it Elaine the Duchess Warrant, that's what you've seen so many things like jewelry, and if you want to get it, you can do whatever you want, unless it's something special, such as a national treasure class.

But why is Elaine so surprised? That's what Ray didn't understand.

But when she realizes that Ray is looking at herself, Elaine shows how surprised Ning Ro is.

"You don't know?... No, isn't it strange not to know? Ray, do you remember when we used to go to Exile?

It was Ray who all of a sudden questioned an unusual topic, but still remembers something soon.

That's a magic item that was used by the opponent who fought in the uproar that took place in Exil.

No, to call it a magic item to be exact, that item is too out-of-town.

"That's right. The way Prix used it, sealing magic on gems and arbitrarily using it. The Duke and Duke of Hulundal acquired the technology and developed it independently. Naturally, you don't need a sacrifice."

Yes, Elaine told me.
