Legend

After battling the Black Wolf, Ray and Elaine headed straight back to the Duke of Keller residence.

The men, who were gatekeepers at the Duke of Keller's mansion, see Elaine giving a serious look, who seemed happy when she left, and decide so if she had made any mistakes on the date.

Still, I didn't say anything about the matter because I thought I would if I said something strange and I didn't want to be scolded from above.

The person named Elaine Kelevel is extremely popular in the House of the Duke of Kelevel.

So if you said something to tear it up in a detour, you could have gotten a terrible look at Elaine's fans.

... In fact, it was a more pressing situation than watching someone who had previously imitated such as Netineti and his boss do things like hate him or his maid slapping him in the pussy and ignoring him.

For that reason, the gatekeeper, who remained very quiet, continues to work as he did.

Meanwhile, without knowing that he was making the gatekeeper feel that way, Ray was in his room, which was reserved for the Duke of Kelp.

I'm not with Elaine because I'm on my way to see the people in charge of intelligence to get information about one of the Black Wolves.

Even though in Ray's case he is close to Elaine, there is no way he can know what can be described as an outside secret of the Duke of Keller's house, and for that reason he waits in his room until Elaine returns.

If it's always the case, I can kill time with absolutely no problems waiting for people, but I'm not in the mood for that right now.

Naturally, Ray also understood why he was being like that.

(I'm pretty sure one of the Black Wolf cases is pulling back)

I wasn't the one who hated him as much as I wanted to kill him.

That's what I want to believe, that Ray wasn't the only one who could have fed and thought he was getting close.

Still, as Ray, I didn't have the option of being killed by such an opponent more than I had attacked to kill myself for real.

... I just honestly wouldn't have been supposed to pull back so far had that been all.

The problem is that I still think the Black Wolf came from the same Japan as myself.

At least not once since Ray came to Elgin, Yokohama Chinatown.

And he wants to eat the pork braised with his mother again.

It seemed to Ray like an unmistakable fact that the Black Wolf was more of a person from Japan than I said that much.

As Ray was remembering about the black wolf, he could hear the door knocking inadvertently.

For a moment I also wondered if Elaine was back, but the signs I feel outside the door are not Elaine's.

Even if it wasn't Elaine's, it was a sign of someone she knew.

"Come in, Miranda"

"... well, you know it's me"

Miranda, who is in charge of Ray, opens the door and says in a slightly surprised voice.

No way, you never thought you could guess who you were before you named yourself.

"The signs belonged to Miranda.... you brought me some tea"

Ray smiles happily when he sees that there is tea and dried fruit, a bite-sized sandwich on top of the basin Miranda holds.

"I envy your ability to do that."

"Really? Well, if you're an adventurer or something and you're fighting for your life repeatedly, it's a skill you naturally acquire."

"... you don't want to remember that much"

I know it would be a convenient ability, but if you told me to fight my life for it, Miranda would say I didn't need it immediately.

Because that's not the ability I want.

Ray knows that too, so he doesn't look particularly offended, he just whines briefly that it would be.

If you're a soldier or a knight, yet, you're definitely a skill you don't need to remember just a maid.

No, naturally it was true that it should have been, but naturally I didn't want to get it until I put my life at risk.

"So, did Miranda come here with any message from Elaine?

"Yes. He said it was going to take a while."

"Right."

Coming out of Miranda's mouth was also something that could be expected in a way for Ray.

Regardless of what you defeated about the Black Wolf, the information that only the Duke of Kelevel family would have is not something you can give it to so easily.

Whether the intelligence officers honestly do not share information or procedural issues… and other issues may be considered.

Ray, who originally did not expect to be informed immediately, is not particularly frustrated to hear the message Miranda brought.

In the first place, Miranda was the one who brought me a message from Elaine, so Ray had the realization that imitating that Miranda like an eight-win was a shame.

"So please eat these,"

"Oh, so there's no problem.... Well, I also feel a little low on quantity"

What Miranda brought was the amount there if ordinary people were to eat, but for Ray, the big eater, that's only about the snack.

More than that, that would not mean eating the dishes Miranda brought would be a full stomach.

(No, well, I brought it with tea, which means I brought it with recognition as a tea treat, so I don't mind that)

Thinking that way, I leave the tea and food Miranda brought to me on the table in the room.

"Well, call me if you need anything"

That being said, Miranda leaves the room when she gives a token.

Ray, who was thus left alone in his room and told to eat properly while drinking tea, could have eaten and drank with Miranda, not alone, anyway.

Though I thought of it that way, it was Miranda in the form of Ray's in charge, but I decided that there would be a lot of other work to do, and when I sat on the couch, I carried tea into my mouth.

Drink tea and for the first time Ray learns that his throat was dry.

I guess this wouldn't have happened normally, but I'm still unconscious in person about one of the black wolves, but there was something I thought was different...... and I guess that's what it is.

"Maybe Elaine thought about that area, too, and this is how she prepared us some tea or something?

Whimpering, somehow feeling like that's the right answer, Ray sips a cup of tea again.

"Yeah, delicious.... sandwiches taste better than they usually sell in stores."

Probably made by Georgima. The sandwich is that the ingredients are sandwiched in bread with stewed meat, vegetables and, as a little unusual, fish dried.

The ingredients themselves are not that rare a substitute, but still make Ray's tongue so strangely entertaining.

Ray doesn't even know what exactly he's up to. I don't know... Still, it just meant it was delicious.

It's not just sandwiches.

The dried fruit tastes extraordinarily better than what you normally buy in the store when you dry it, or after you dry it.

(Well, dried fruit...... in the case of dried fruit, the quality of the fruit itself is probably good because the flavour of the ingredients goes direct)

While thinking that way, Ray remembers the dried fruit he made himself when he was in Japan.

(Is that it? Does a dried persimmon also become a dried fruit by classification? I'm drying it out for once)

Ray's house had persimmon trees, but that's tomato trees, not sweet persimmons.

In order to eat, it was necessary to remove the tannins, and one of the methods was dried persimmons.

There are other methods of soaking the area of the persimmon's head in the shochu, putting it in the bag so that it does not touch the air, and leaving it alone for a certain period of time to drain the tannins.

Regardless of the latter, can I say that the former dried persimmon is just dried fruit?

As for Ray, who doesn't know the official definition of dried fruit, I decided I would be able to put it in dried fruit because it's still dried...... suddenly made me want to eat dried persimmons made at home.

Dried, the dried persimmon has a strong sweetness.

I liked Ray a lot to eat with his sinister tea.

"Nevertheless, there are no persimmons in this world."

Whimpering, not as a substitute for the dried persimmon I remember, but enjoying the taste of Miranda's brought dried fruit.

Enjoy...... fu, I thought I wanted to eat the dried persimmon I ate when I was in Japan because there was another case of black wolf too.

I thought you missed your hometown because you met someone who knew Japan.

(Well, now more... Hmm?

Ray, who was thinking about Black Wolf and Japan, notices signs of approaching the room.

But it wasn't Elaine, it wasn't Miranda... she didn't know why she was here.

Eventually, when the person stands in front of Ray's room, he knocks on the door abusively.

"Whoa, Ray. Are you there? I hear you're here."

"Oh, there he is. Because I'm here, don't slap me too rough. You can come in, Bruit."

In the words of such a ray, the door opens unconstitutionally, and a man with muscular bones reveals himself.

That was one of the nobles Ray knew who came to Anesis and as a nobleman rarely felt comfortable with Ray...... he was truly rare.

Besides, he is a shapebreaker who walks around the city with no escort while in the position of next owner of the Count Exolis family.

That's why I could also say that I felt comfortable with Ray.

"Oh, I knew you were here."

"I was there, but how did you know I was in my room?

"Um, meet a maid like Miranda. He told me to cheer him up because he didn't seem to be well enough for Ray."

"... Miranda"

Miranda is just a maid.

At least I didn't know the details of this case.

Not to mention, you naturally don't know the story of Ray killing the Black Wolf.

Still, I have been entrusted with Ray's charge, and Miranda will be the longest in the House of the Duke of Kelevel dealing with Ray besides Elaine.

And Miranda is by no means incompetent, as Ray is being entrusted with the responsibility of being treated as a guest by the House of the Duke of Kelevel.

No, you're right that Ray was entrusted to take care of him because he was Ning Lo competent.

That's why Miranda understood that Ray was depressed and told Bluitt about Ray, which happened by accident to encourage him to do so.

Most importantly, Bruit came to the residence of the Duke of Keller to meet Ray, so in that sense, Miranda was likely involved, but it turned out the same way.

"So? What's wrong with Ray? Not even like you at all."

"Even if they say so. It's not like what happened."

Bruit is caught up in it when the Black Wolf lets him use his meds to attack Ray.

More than that, just for a moment, but I thought I could let Bruit talk about the Black Wolf as well, but I wasn't in the mood for that somehow.

If this is the story after a few more days, maybe Ray also told Bruit what's going on around there.

"Heh. Really? As far as Ray's concerned, it doesn't look that way, though."

To Bluitt's words, Ray is just a little surprised.

It was true that there were things I thought were different about the Black Wolf, but I didn't mean to put them on the table at all.

Miranda would have spotted the area because of her high ability as a maid and her long time together, even in the short time since Ray came to Anesis.

But Bluitt hasn't been dating Ray in and of itself that long, and he's been with him for an extremely short time.

It's Ray's honest thoughts that he never thought his heart would spot him on such a blue-it.

"Well, there was a lot going on. Really a lot."

To Ray's words, Bruit doesn't seem to hear anything more than that.

I guess you decided it was enough to just say that something happened without hiding it.

"What do you say? Doing something in a room like this won't change your mood. Why don't you do a mock fight with me? I'll tell you how strong I am, not what I threw away."

That said, Bluitt invited Ray to a mock fight.
