Legend

"Is that, Lord Ray?

Ray, who was sipping tea at the marina's house and watching the sight of Seto and Buune playing in the garden, is called back to me like that.

Naturally Ray also understood whose voice that was.

The presence of the Lord of that voice naturally also meant that there was another person.

"Ray? And the marina... duh, yellow"

Yellow, who was in Elaine's arms, turns right over to you because she sees Seto outside the window.

Most importantly, the window was closed, so Ara had to open the window as she approached her in a hurry.

"I was free at the inn. And I wanted to know a lot about Kobolt, so I came here."

"Hmm, I see. I also heard from Lord Dusker about the Cobolt case. Well, I don't think I need a hand. They even told me it was useless."

Wasn't it funny that Elaine was told she didn't need a hand, or Elaine shrugs in a slightly grumpy way.

Most importantly, I naturally understand why Elaine was told that, too.

Elaine is in this guild as an admirer of nobility.

If such a figure were to be driven out into the crusade of Kobolt, it would be unpleasant for the aristocrats to use their symbols against Kobolt and so on, and other than that, rumors would circulate that Guild's power alone would not be able to defeat Kobolt.

That is by no means a good thing for Dusker, who leads the neutral wing of one of the three major factions.

If you can't actually defeat Kobolt and are out of the reach of only Gilm's adventurers, that may be the kind of thing you ask Elaine to do, but now you're a Gilm adventurer enough to make it.

More than that, it was an unmistakable fact that we didn't need Elaine's help in this one case.

"I guess so. Given Dusker's position, I'd have to say so.... Whatever, welcome home"

"... I'm home"

"I'll take care of you again"

With compassion for Dusker's position, I return that to the marina welcoming Elaine and Arla, while showing how welcoming and illuminating they are.

For both of us, a marina's house would be a much easier place to be than an inn around it.

In fact, the spiritual magic of the marina keeps the house always clean, because the environment is warm in winter and cool in summer.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've had all the party members, and shall we go a little extravagant for dinner today"

"No, me and Ara aren't members of the Red Lotus Wings,"

A little...... Elaine who really only tells a little bit of a shame.

I guess I envy having parties with Marina and Vihera, who are comrades and lovers.

But there's no way to be an adventurer as Elaine's position.

"I guess so.... but we often act together, so it's okay to mean associate members, right?

Naturally, there's nothing like that in the Alliance's system.

That's what Marina, who was the previous Alliance Master, knows best.

Nonetheless, it is significant that I said this because I want Elaine to feel the same way as we do at all.

In fact, when she heard the word associate member, Elaine was smiling happily.

"Associate member? Phew, well.... well."

The look of squeamish is so beautiful that some of the original Elaine's beauty is blinding.

Naturally, Ray also falls in love with such Elaine...

"Mm, Kohon. So, we were talking about making it a bit of a fancy meal today, but what are we gonna do? Do we make our own? Or do you want to go eat somewhere?

"I knew we should have made it ourselves. We can't bring Seto in."

That's what Marina answers to Vihera, who asks after a misleading cough about something.

If you're going to eat in this member, it's probably because you think Seto still has to be there, and there's no yellow.

To such a marina's care, Ray sends a gaze of gratitude.

"When that happens, what do you make? You want me to get the kiln out?

Until a while ago, when eating at the marina's house, Ray cooked using a kiln of magic items he had.

It hasn't been a month in time, but I guess that's all the big shock that happened in Anesis.

"Yeah, right.... Anyway, let's use that kiln to make a lot of things for everyone. Fortunately, I have ingredients... can you get them out of Ray's?

"Ingredients? Yeah, there's a lot going on. I don't mind.... With that said, some of the fish we took when we all went to sea near the end of this summer. Maybe it would be interesting to make something out of that. Most of the time, the dishes I can cook are salted or something. Or, like, soup?

However, in this case, the soup only means that the fish was used instead of the dried meat, and no imitation such as adjusting the soup for the fish can be done by Ray.

If you think about putting fish in the right soup to make when camping, that would be a very unbearable act.

If you live near the ocean, you have no problem cooking fish that way, but this is a gilm with no sea of sorts around it.

Of course there are rivers, so it's not like you can't eat fresh fish... but still, the difference in taste, texture, size, and other things is huge between river fish and sea fish.

Also, because sea fish processed like salted, smoked or dried come in, it doesn't mean that you can't eat sea fish at all.

... Still, I'm not saying that sea fish coming into the guilds are only processed in some way, and raw fish like Ray's storing in the mysteries are not possible... but to get them, it costs a lot like not being able to use them for meals in a typical house.

That's why it's adventurers and cooks who imitate things like putting seafish in the right soup so Ray can make it… Others would be surprised, moaning, and in some cases even angry if they found out.

Nevertheless, I know that the faces on this occasion contain large quantities of sea fish within Ray's mysteries, so no one stops Ray from acting in that sense.

For a different reason, you stop because you want to eat more delicious fish dishes, not soup utensils that Ray has made properly anyway.

"I'll cook the fish. Ray would rather have good food anyway, wouldn't he?

Ray nods lightly at Marina's suggestion.

Even if I didn't say that my cooking was not delicious, it was never delicious because I understood it best.

The three of Elaine, Vihera and Ara, who were listening, also had a happy look on their face at how Ray looked like that.

Being able to eat Ray's hand cooking is not a bad story for the three of us.

But if you're going to eat anyway, it's natural that you want to eat delicious food.

"Well, I'll have to let Bühne know about that, too. It's a corner celebration. Enjoy it well. My arm will ring, too."

If they were to say who is the best cook in this line, they would all say it's a marina.

Other faces can't cook at all... that's not why I'm bad at cooking like I can only cook like what I call dangerous goods, but I'm pretty sure I can only cook like I can still eat for now.

That's why they all look happy with the marina's words.

"If you're an ingredient, what do I serve?... Do you even serve high-ranking monster meat?

"Um, that's good, but it's kind of hard when you ask me if I can bring out the flavor of ingredients like that properly with my arms. In the meantime, can I have some monster meat of about rank B instead of rank S or A?

Ray snorts at the marina's words, but if it's normal...... if that's where it is other than the gilm, if it's also the meat of a rank B monster, it can be a bit of a difficult price to get your hands on in the average household.

If you can afford gold, it's not that hard to buy meat from a Rank B monster.

"Okay. Then I... Oh, I had meat to finish my visit, so I'll cook it in a kettle."

With that said, Ray goes out into the garden with the marina.

Then I heard Seto and Yellow's delightful ringing quickly, and although Büne didn't particularly imitate things like laughing, he definitely emitted an atmosphere of delight.

Those two and one, when they find Ray and Marina out in the garden, and Elaine and the others that followed them, they turn their gaze to what's going on.

"Gru?"

What happened to Seto, as if he represented two and one? and honking his throat.

Such a ceto, Ray opens his mouth as he strokes.

"It's our day back in the Guild, isn't it? So I thought I'd throw a party in this garden tonight.... this garden is warm."

Ray's words whining, they're never wrong.

The spiritual magic of the marina keeps the garden in incredible temperatures like spring and autumn.

Not to mention the fact that the ground is wet and difficult to walk under the influence of snow, as you can tell by the way Seto and Büne and the others were running around.

"Gru!?

Heard about throwing a party and Seto is true!? And I snarl my throat gladly.

Biune, who was a little further away, also had a pleasant atmosphere, even without changing his expression.

For Bühne, who loves to eat, I guess it's a strong thought that if it's also a party, she can eat delicious food.

The idea is never a mistake either, because Marina is actually saying she will wave her arm.

"That's why we're going to start getting ready. So it's up to you to run around in the garden and play. All right?"

"Gru!"

Seto will put up with that much if he can eat delicious food! and honking.

When a yellow lands on the back of such a ceto, he rings when he says he is in agreement with the ceto.

"Well, I'm glad you understand. Then... fast, but do you want to serve the ingredients first? What do we do at first? Meat? Fish? Vegetables?"

"Um, yeah. It's downstairs, so I think it's a fish first.... With Ray's mysterious ring, it's easier not to have to worry about the material being damaged"

Normally, there is basically no need to worry about ingredients being damaged now in winter.

Of course, the ingredients would be damaged if you imitated the way you would leave the ingredients out and leave them around for days.

But with Ray's mysterious ring, if you store it after you're ready to go down, it won't hurt.... It's not all the advantages of mystering because it doesn't allow time to stop, the flavor to tame, and the smell of meat and fish to disappear.

Still, the advantages are enormous because you can always use them if you put them together and store them in mysteries after they are ready under.

"Well, that's a fish.... What kind of fish do you serve?

"Um, look, you had a sharp, pointed mouth and a little big fish, right? Can you get that out for a second?

That's what they say, and Ray remembers that there was a fish resembling a pheasant tuna.

It's not like it's rhinoceros tuna, but it's definitely similar.

"This is it."

What Ray took out was a fish about a metre in size.

However, since the mouth area is about 30 cm, it is actually about 70 cm.

The marina, who saw the fish, nodded happily.

"Yeah, yeah, this fish. I tried it a little bit when I was at sea, but I think this fish would taste good if it was cooked in butter. She was soft, but she stayed a light night."

Grilled oyster tuna in butter. I think about cooking like that, and Ray nods that it definitely looks delicious.

"If you multiply it with sour fruit juice before you eat it, it looks better"

"Huh? Really? If it's to be cooked in butter, I think the acidity will be extra flavored."

To Ray's words, Vihella argues.

I guess it's a matter of preference around here.

In fact, Ray liked to hang lemon juice on fried chicken when he was in Japan.

(Maybe Vihera is a pie that doesn't even hang fried chicken or tonkatsu or lemon juice. Speaking of which, there have been a lot of developments about comics and such, but there will be disturbances around there.)

At the same time, Ray thought that when he hung fruit juice on the butter grill for the time being, he would only take it for his plate.
