"Phew... this was a bit unexpected, to be honest"

"Gru."

Ringing out to Ray's words as Seto agrees.

At the end of one's gaze and that of one, only the sight of a night of nothing had spread.

But there was a fire whirlwind in that space until a few minutes ago... and there was a fire whirlwind that produced wind blades everywhere.

That blade of wind was the Wind Demon Ore that Ray received as a reward from Liberté... and this is how Liberté's... No, it showed the power of the Duke of Kelp and asked the Marquis of Seysor to show us the Fire Whirlwind in order to do some sort of pursuit, and used another barrel of Wind Demon Ore as an additional reward.

Although I didn't use one barrel as it was, it was about half of a barrel.

(Now that I think about it, I guess you knew from the beginning that I would take on this request that I had prepared an extra barrel with this light wind demon ore)

It's not that I don't feel like I was slightly hit by it, but I still got paid more than enough, and most importantly, I was able to try a fire whirlwind using wind demon ore, so I was fully satisfied as a ray.

"I didn't think there would be a wind blade.... I'm pretty sure it's gotten vicious."

Until I actually tried wind demon ore, I didn't know exactly what effect it would have.

So it's Ray's honest thoughts that this time the result was unexpected, but at the same time I'm suddenly glad I didn't have to use it in action.

The blade of the wind...... in fact that is not the blade in the physical sense, but the blade without an entity composed of the wind.

(When I was in Japan, there were beam savels in comics and cartoons... is this wind blade something similar in a way?... completely different with wind and beam though)

Remembering when he was in Japan, Ray looks at the sky as he strokes Seto.

Beautifully...... the sight of the moon and the stars looking beautiful without a cloud, even though that's the winter night.

Ray, who watched it, eventually senses signs of approaching his place during the night.

Normally, I was able to hear footsteps because I was not trying to hide any signs or footsteps.

"What's up, Elaine? You got something for me?

Ray asked without even looking at his face, but the person whose name was called did not look particularly bewildered and opens his mouth.

"It's not like I have any business in particular. I'm just here to see how Ray is doing a little bit. So, how was the Wind Demon Ore?

"I don't care what they say. All I can say is it's what you see."

"Wind blade, huh?... if you take that to enemy positions, you'll expect a lot of devastation."

"I won't deny that.... let me be honest, I never thought I'd be such a vicious substitute."

Most importantly, Ray imagined a blade of wind around him... like continuing to release something like a flying slash of Death Size skill in all directions, and in terms of Ning Luo's destructive, destructive, offensive power, you can say it's more vicious than a blade of wind.

In that sense, the expression that Ray was a little out of expectation might also be desirable.

"But well... wouldn't it have been better in terms of looking less?

"Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure it was flashy. Many of those who watched were pleased. … some of them had fears"

"Uh... well, I guess"

In Elaine's words, Ray gives a convincing look.

If you consider yourself purely aristocratic, Ray is only the strength of another faction called the Neutralists.

Relations between aristocrats and neutrals are now good, but that will not always last.

If an aristocrat and neutral get along badly enough to fight, then the face of the aristocrat will be fighting Ray.

Not to mention, in that case, if the iconic Elaine of the aristocracy were to fight Ray...... it would be a subtle place.

What relationship Ray and Elaine are in is already quite widespread as information.

I didn't think Elaine could fight Ray any more than she did.

... That, on the contrary, means Ray may not be able to fight Elaine either, but he thinks he can fight Ray for some reason around there.

Most importantly, it is not surprising that Ray has ever relentlessly exercised his power even against his aristocratic opponents, as well as gathering rumours and information about various Rays, to draw such a conclusion.

"Well, then I can't help but do this forever... go back"

"Are you sure?

"Oh. It's not like I was thinking about anything or anything....... hey?

"Gru?"

Ray called me. Seto, did he? and honking his throat.

I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn't get in the way of Ray and Elaine's conversation, but then I rub my head against Ray, wishing he'd said it sooner.

"Hey, Seto. Suddenly what? Hey, he said it was ticklish."

"Pfft, you guys are the same.... Look, then we're going back over there. Fathers will be waiting for you."

Tell her so, Elaine stops Seto, who is stranded by Ray, and walks out with one and one.

"Nevertheless... you've been warm for a long time"

Winter nights, if normal, shouldn't have been so cold as to tremble.

However, although it is now conditional in this place, there is also the effect that there is still some fire whirlwind heat, which is quite warm.

Most likely, in a little while, the warm air will also be scattered in the wind.

"I guess just for a little while.... than that, how long will you be back in the gilm? I already did what I had to do in Anesis, so I don't care whenever."

While walking, the topic changes unexpectedly.

In such a ray inquiry, Elaine thinks a little and opens her mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I want you to wait a few more days. I'd like to say that tomorrow... because I have a lot to do in one case yesterday."

"Uh... I guess"

Ray can naturally tell what Elaine wants to say.

In the first place, the black wolf, who was famous in Anesis, died, as did Celestan, the head of an organization connected to that black wolf.

Besides, the house where Celestan lived vanished and that's all that happened yesterday alone.

As for Elaine, who is involved in many of them, there was also the position of Duke of Keller, and there was no reason not to run away at the end of this one case.

If such Elaine were to leave Anesis without ending it, even to some extent, the outside world would be bad.

Something urgent...... that would have been different if it had been something like having to crusade a powerful monster as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry."

I'm going to apologize again. To Elaine, Ray shakes her neck sideways telling her not to care.

If this took weeks, months or so, Ray would have had a lot of things to think about, and that's what he might have done once he got back to the guild on his own and after some time he'd come back to Anesis again.

But if that's about a few days, there's nothing particularly wrong with Ray.

Some libraries have a large number of books in the Duke of Keller's mansion that Ray has yet to read, and mock warfare with the Knights led by Filma is hard to throw away as Ray.

Or you could go out all over the city and look for some delicious food.

I mean, it was a ray eating and walking, but it was a specialty of Anesis! I haven't found a substitute like that yet.

More than that, Ray had a desire to look for specialty dishes.

From the feel of Ray, it can also be said that it is close to some kind of treasure hunt.

I don't know exactly what dishes I could find, but that was definitely heartbreaking for Ray.

… some of the specialty dishes are very unpleasant or unwanted, so the specialty dishes are not necessarily limited to being delicious.

"Never mind. I'd like to take a look around a lot of anesys."

Since coming to Anesis, I have been out of the Duke of Keller mansion many times to look around the city.

But Anesis is only called the second city of the Kingdom of Mireana, and, naturally, its size is considerable.

That's to the extent that I've looked around the city a few times, I can't look around at all of it.

In that sense, Elaine's word to stay a little more in Anesis was by no means bad for Ray.

I guess you understood that Ray wasn't looking out for himself and saying it that way. Elaine is relieved too... just in time, the Rays arrive where the Libertés are.

"Oh, Ray. You responded well to my request. It was a great flaming tornado. That's how you can be blinded."

The first person I've spoken to Ray is, naturally, Liberté.

This comes from the idea of showing other nobles that Ray and I are in close relationship, while at the same time keeping Ray from being offended by the arrival of other nobles.

"I'm glad you seemed happy. This one was quite helpful because we were able to experiment with wind demon ore."

The nobles, who heard the word Wind Demon Ore, bow down to each one.

Naturally. Wind Demon Ore is one of the magic metals of the wind system, and its output is never high even if you look around the entire kingdom of Mireana.

Low output means higher value, because in that sense it was also very interesting for the nobles present here.

(Is that it? Could it have not explained the area?

Ray, who watched the other nobles in conversation with Liberté, thinks that way.

"Well, I'm glad the reward I paid helped Ray. Okay, great then...... I've seen more sights than I expected, and let's just say it's time to go back to the whole city. I'd love to be immersed in this aftertaste forever if I could, but there will be people who get sick in the cold like this."

Some noblemen nod in favor of the word.

It is naturally warmer to wear clothes than to be aristocratic, but I guess it is cold to still be in a place like this on a winter night, even in such circumstances.

If this was someone who was working out like a knight or a soldier, he would have been able to withstand the cold.

There was one approaching Ray and Elaine as they all began to make their way to Anesis.

"Ray, you surprised me, to be honest.... How dare you let out such a flaming tornado. I see why you got the alias Deep Red."

That's what I've been saying about smudging, Bruit.

On that side are also the figures of Lanigus and Terez.

Such three faces had colors of excitement so much that Ray could see them.

... because you're still young or you don't seem to care that much about the cold like any other nobleman.

"Were you guys here too?... No, I was there yesterday, and naturally it's not strange to be there"

Ray said that when he saw the three people he knew, but he has a grin on his face.

Nobles I don't know...... or sometimes it was easier to act like this with someone I knew than to see their face become a spectacle of some nobility.

For any reason, Ray is not dissatisfied with being a spectacle.

"To be honest, it's been a bit of a hassle getting here, but I'm glad I did. They showed me a really great sight."

Rarely, Lanigus tells me that in an excited way.

Lanigs also knew Ray's prowess, but it's still very different than knowing it as information and confirming it directly with his own eyes.

Especially as a Kings Lanigus, I don't deal with Ray very often.

Not that none at all, but still less frequently.

"More than happy."

"Uh... so, I'd like to ask you one thing"

Bruit, who was listening to Ray and Lanigs, speaks to Ray that way.

That appearance, which was different from the usual blue-it attitude, was slightly uncomfortable even from Ray's eyes.

"What's up? It's rare for a blue-it."

"Right. I know Bruit is more like this... but he must have been a violent person."

To Ray's words, Terez nods as well as agrees.

Arla, who had come near Elaine at some point, snorts at Ray's words like that too.

"Let it go.... So, I just want to ask you, do you think I could even imitate that flaming tornado?

"I don't know about that... Maybe we can do something similar, but I don't think we can do exactly the same thing."

I told him that without thinking that Bruit could do the exact same thing than it was a combination of skills and magic... but in that word, Bruit had a sorry look on his face.
