Legend

"Hmm... ah...?

Ray wakes up and remembers that for the first time there he was asleep.

Last night, after Celestan's house disappeared and came back to the Duke of Keller's mansion, I thought maybe he would be summoned for some reason, and I waited in my room...

(Is this also called falling asleep?

While watching the book fall on the floor, Ray thinks with his sleeping, not yet fully working head.

The books on the floor were borrowed from a library in the Duke of Kelp residence.

Naturally, if I had defiled it... specifically, if I had imitated something like coveting the book and, in some cases, falling asleep and breaking pages, I would have had to pay for it.

Fortunately, however, the book had fallen to the floor and Ray hadn't been able to get anything dirty or torn.

Still turning the page asleep wondering if there were any scratches once I dropped it on the floor... the door to the room is knocked unexpectedly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Are you awake already?

"Uh... I'm awake"

It wasn't that loud of a voice, but I guess I still heard it on the other side of the door.

Eventually the door opens and Miranda shows up.

Miranda only relieves herself a little, knowing that it's the usual Ray in front of her.

Ray when I came to wake him up last night was obviously not like Miranda's known Ray, so I guess I was anxious if it were the same today.

"What do you do for lunch?

"... lunch? Isn't that breakfast?

"Yes. It's already afternoon. It's been quite a while since noon, too."

"Right."

Just a little shame, Ray shrugs.

That would be because I missed Georgima's breakfast.

No, if you're already pretty much past lunch, you're going to have missed lunch, not just breakfast.

The dishes made by Georgima and his disciples all have a delicacy to be called extremely elegant.

It was a huge pain for Ray to miss two meals of that dish.

But Miranda, who doesn't know how Ray feels like that, opens her mouth wondering how Ray looks in shock.

"Mr. Ray? What's the matter, sir?

"Hmm? Oh, no. Nothing. So? Is it time you came to wake me up because I'm about to wake up?

"There's that, too, but my husband is calling for you. If you're awake. He said if you're asleep, you don't have to... What do you do?

In this case, the husband Miranda spoke of is Liberté, the Duke of Kelevel.

They call me Lord of this mansion, and they say it's happening, but they can't ignore it.

Not to mention because Liberté is not just a nobleman, he's Elaine's father.

"No, I'm fine. I'll be ready in a minute, so just wait."

Tell him so, Ray gets up to speed and leaves the room with Miranda.

... Also, I checked the book that was falling on the floor when Ray woke up, but it still didn't come with any kind of scratches anywhere.

It must have been natural for Ray to have relieved himself once again of that.

"You've come well. Did you sleep yesterday?

In the room guided by Miranda, in addition to Liberté, there were two other people involved in one of yesterday's events: Elaine, Arla, and the figure of Arcadia, Liberté's wife.

Elaine's use. Is it because she doesn't like the demon's yellow because she doesn't like tough stories?

Ray grins and nods as he sits on the couch recommended by Liberté.

Usually, the majority of those laughs hide in the hood of a dragon robe...... sometimes I'm taking that hood off now, and that smile looks normal.

"Yes.... or I slept a little too much and I really fell asleep until just now"

"Yeah? When I did, did I force Miranda to wake me up because I asked her to?

"No, I was awake not long before Miranda arrived."

"It would help if you could say that.... Well, I called Ray here again because Ray's mouth wanted me to tell you more about one of yesterday's events. I've heard it from both Elaine and Arla, but I can still tell you exactly what I think would have been better if I'd heard it multilaterally from a lot of people."

But Ara didn't go to a space with a meat cocoon. Liberté says just a little bit unfortunately.

Ara gives a sorry look at how Liberté looks like that... but before Ara says anything, Elaine opens her mouth.

"Father, we've already talked about that. Besides, wasn't it because Ara was going through the paperwork that she figured out a lot?

I guess having a slightly blameworthy color in that tone meant sheltering Ara.

... In fact, when I came back to this mansion last night, Ray gave me the paperwork that was inside the mistering, but that paperwork said a lot of important things.

There were no documents to show the relationship between Celestan and the Black Wolf that Ray and the others were looking for, and we couldn't find any documents to show that Geiska hired the Black Wolf.

But not as a substitute, there were a few interesting documents for Liberté as Duke of Kelevel.

That's what happens when some of the aristocratic nobles are stared at by Liberté in a document with a certain content.

We couldn't get the documents we were looking for, but we succeeded in obtaining documents that were different from what we were looking for.

I was only able to take those documents out of the vanished mansion, and it's definitely profitable enough.

Even less would be too much compared to the fact that the house disappeared without doing anything.

"Oh, um. I'm not going to blame Ara for anything either. Ning Ro, I am thankful that you often brought up all these documents in that situation"

"... it would help if you could say that"

Arla, who was sitting next to Elaine, bows her head as she seems sorry.

Faced with such an Ara figure, Liberté opens his mouth as he deludes his uncomfortable appearance, pointing his blame not only from Elaine but also from Arcadia.

"So, yeah. Was that a chunk of meat Ray saw? I want you to tell me about it."

Ray nods at the words of such Liberté and speaks of what he has experienced.

Unlike Elaine, that explanation was not very easy to understand or anything like that, but Elaine will supplement it with such a description of Ray where it is missing.

"Hmm. The Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor? I knew Ray could use that skill, but if I heard from someone who was actually using it, I'd say just fine."

Only a few words out of Liberté's mouth surprise Ray as well.

But if you are in the position of Duke of Kelevel, it is no surprise that you know the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, which can be described as Ray's Hand.

Not to mention, I used it on Elaine's side, so it's not a strange story to have information flowing from it.

It was originally treated as a wife's hand, but the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor is not a hidden skill.

... In the first place, if it's a skill that needs to be hidden, I should try not to use it in public, but Ray doesn't look like he cared that much about the area.

"That, thank you, is that what I should say?

"I don't know.... Whatever, I get Ray's story. In this case, you've gotten into a lot of trouble."

"No. In this case, I thought it was me who got involved. I didn't think Gaiska would do anything like hire a black wolf."

After a few minutes of talking, Liberté gets to the point.

"Well, let's just say I'm on the point of calling Ray this time"

There is a slight but serious look on Ray's face.

Because I had doubts about what they were going to say.

At the end of Ray's gaze, Liberté rings a small bell.

Then the door was knocked after less than ten seconds from there.

"Sir, I came with what I was told."

"Um, come in."

The door opens with the words, and eventually the butler's man shows up.

I thought a little bit about it being the face I saw somewhere, Ray, but I recall being the guy that was called to the Libertés' table at the end of the year party.

A man judged competent in the top class among those serving the House of the Duke of Kelevel.

As followed by the man, two men came into the room with barrels of wood.

They were men who should be described as musculoskeletal, seemingly powerful to see, but their faces are quite red.

Obviously a state where you can see it that way when you are doing everything you can in the current situation.

Those two men slowly and carefully place wooden barrels on the floor so as not to scratch the floor even in such circumstances.

Ray didn't know exactly how far the barrel of wood had been carried, but from how it looked, it was assumed that it had definitely been carried quite a distance.

(wheeled...... like bringing tea or something, Kurt? Put it in that one and hold it...... oh, no. Looks pretty heavy to me like I saw it this way, and considering that, does the cart break better even if I try to carry it? Or it would have tire tracks on the floor or something by weight even if it didn't break)

Liberté smiles and opens his mouth as Ray gazes at the barrel of trees carried by the two men.

"Ray, this is your reward."

"Reward?"

For a moment, Ray didn't know what they were talking about.

The thought of breaking into Celestan's house is stronger that it was only for me.

There's no reason to get paid...

After seeing how Ray was doing like that, Liberté decides he's making a mistake and opens his mouth before Ray says anything.

"I tell you, this Wind Demon Ore has absolutely nothing to do with yesterday's incident.... Remember when you said you were going to pay for the mock fight?

"... oh, if you say so"

Thinking a little about Liberté's words, Ray finally remembers.

With that said, you promised to get the Wind Demon Ore for a reward.

Looking at Ray, who finally remembered him in his own words, Liberté gives him a slightly frightened look.

Two portions of Wind Demon Ore in a barrel of wood...... that's a substitute for a good amount of cash.

If you try to be the Liberté of the Duke of Kelp, the money to that extent is not that big of a deal, but if you try to be a normal adventurer, you can't even grab a thousand gold... but it's not weird if it's worth about a hundred bucks.

Most importantly, if you try Ray, Liberté is the client, and at the same time Elaine's father.

He was also a person who did himself various favors on it, and honestly, he could have had to when it came to rewarding the Wind Demon Ore.

Still so disciplined...... that also makes Ray like the fact that Ray prepared more Wind Demon Ore than he expected.

Nevertheless, Liberté also does not imitate this in good faith alone.

I've never had a friendly relationship with an adventurer with an alias before, even if it doesn't include my daughters' lovers.

That's why we prepared the Wind Demon Ore this way, understanding it was quite an expense.

"Apparently I forgot... the promise is a promise. Get it right."

If you say so, I can't even say no as Ray.

It was also true that I had forgotten one thing about Wind Demon Ore, but it was also true that I naturally find this Wind Demon Ore attractive if I recall it.

Unlike the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, another back hand...... no, given that little is known about the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, it is generally thought that would be Ray's back or trump card, Fire Whirlwind.

What the hell happens if you use Wind Demon Ore for it?

I also wanted to try it as a ray, but although there are two in a barrel of wood, it naturally decreases if I use it.

More than that, there was no reason to waste it.

(Still, you'll need to actually try it once and see how it reacts. I want to avoid using it all of a sudden in action even though I have time)

It was only natural to want to see what exactly the Wind Demon Ore...... yes, what should even be called an additional effect occurs.

"Thank you. Well, thank you for that."

Saying so, he rises from the couch where he was sitting and reaches out to the two wooden barrels that are placed on the floor.

The next moment, as if it were a dream or an illusion that there was a wooden barrel there, the figure of the wooden barrel is vanished in an instant.

Seeing it, the men who brought the barrel of wood give a stark look.

The barrel of wood containing the Wind Demon Ore, which we brought so hard, disappeared the next moment.

I guess I couldn't be more surprised by that.
