To the screams we hear, Ray and Seto immediately turn to those who spoke.

To be honest, there is no such thing as an adventurer in this guild screaming at his opponent Kobolt... not that it was a translation, but Ray who understood it wasn't that much, but that's why he ran out to those who heard screams.

This meant that there was some sort of anomaly that would not have been considered normal, and that anomaly could have been related to a magic item.

That was half Ray's desire...... it was like a hopeful observation, but still would be better than searching around the construction site in a situation where there was no clue.

That's how it came, Ray...

"What?"

I squeal sadly at the sight that has spread in front of me.

While I think so, it doesn't have a good aftertaste to abandon what I've seen, so I take the spear out of mystering.

Not the dusk spear I always use, but the breaking spear I used a lot before I got it.

If you don't want to use a dusk spear against a Kobolt, act like that.

After a few steps of escape, throw its breaking spear.

The spear, which flew straight through the air slashing and tearing, blasted the head of the cobolt, which was about to bite the woman's adventurer as it were, and whether the impact had slightly altered the orbit, then pierced the chest of the cobolt behind it, further stopping the movement where it was stuck in the torso of the cobolt behind it.

"... Huh?

The adventurer of the woman, who was utterly desperate, makes a bewildered voice in a way that she doesn't know what the hell happened.

That would be natural, too. Because all of a sudden the head of the cobolt that was in front of me exploded, and things like blood, bones, brains, and body fluids hit my face.

The woman looks around, not even realizing that Kobolt's eyeballs are smashing against her cheeks.

That's how it got into my eyes was the adventurer man with the griffon.

I naturally knew who that was, who lived in the Guild.

"Deep red?"

I guess I heard a whine coming out of the woman's mouth. He killed three Cobolts who were attacking a woman in one blow - the last one, to be exact, is still alive, but I'm sure it won't last that long beyond being in a dying state - Ray approaches the woman with Seto.

"... I'm sorry. I helped you, but I didn't think this would happen."

With that said, Ray gives the woman the cloth she took from the mistering.

Receive it... So for the first time, a woman realizes that there is something snagging in her face, no, Kobolt's blood all over her body.

He casually touches his cheek, wondering what feels soft and warm, and brings it straight to his sight.

What was there was an eyeball that hit the woman's cheek with explosive momentum and crushed her.

"Shh... Shh, shh!

The moment I understand what it is, the tall screams coming out of the woman's mouth echo around me.

The scream was undoubtedly louder than the scream Ray had heard earlier.

Ray also wondered if the latter was big because of the scream that came out when he was about to be killed and the scream when he saw Kobolt's crushed eyeballs, but he takes it and checks on the woman in front of him for now.

As for age, I'm as old as Ray.... I mean, like, mid teens.

But... elsewhere, there was a place that caught Ray's eye.

(Not equipped? It's also pretty old and hasn't been taken care of)

Yes, the woman's protective gear was obviously bigger than her body's, and there are parts of the long sword that are falling to the ground that are rusty.

I also wondered for a moment if it was the weapon that Cobolt had, but I checked the area properly when I threw the spear, so that's unlikely.

(I thought you were an adventurer, but not an adventurer? No, you just became an adventurer? For example, I don't know why you're struggling with monsters like Kobolt)

But Ray also knows that basically those who have just become adventurers can only take requests all over the city.

I'm pretty sure this construction site is all over the city for once too, but still I don't think Ray would leave it up to the rookie who just became an adventurer in the guild to crusade Kobolt... not one or two, either, but a massively attacking Kobolt crusade.

"You... are you really an adventurer?

That's what Ray asks when the woman screams a paragraph.

There is no exploration or anything, that was the question from the front... but the woman who heard it, her body strengthened for a moment.

Just looking at it, Ray has a strong conviction that a woman would not be an adventurer.

"Uh... Um... Um..."

What can I say, a woman who shows how lost she is.

Seeing that move doesn't look like you're working out or training for combat, though not very much.

Even adventurers don't train to fight.

Still, it was unnatural in many ways not to train in combat when it came to receiving a request premised on combat: a request to crusade Kobolt.

"Who are you? In the meantime, I'm pretty sure I'm not an adventurer..."

"Me, adventurer! Otherwise, you wouldn't be dressed like this in a place like this!

"Then show me your guild card. If you're an adventurer, you must have it, right?

With that said, Ray takes out his guild card from within the mistering...... which is labeled Rank B and has a solid name on it.

Even so, I think maybe the woman in front of you has a guild card.

Guild cards don't have pictures on them like a license or passport, so even if you hold someone else's guild card and insist that this is yours, Ray can't tell the truth about it.

There are also magic items that you can check if they are the guild or guard's stuffing.

Either way, for that reason, isn't Ray the woman in front of him getting someone's guild card and putting it out by some means? I thought...

"Well, a little bit less..."

Obvious deception.

I had trouble as a Ray if they gave me the guild card, so I can say it helped me in that sense.

"So you want to go to the guild? It'll cost you a little, but you can reissue your guild card."

"I'm short of money. Otherwise, you wouldn't bother to take on a request like this, would you?

"You're lying."

Ray affirms the woman's words lightly.

I guess he also understands that his own behavior was suspicious.

To Ray's assertion, a woman gets stuck in words.

"So? What are you after all? I can imagine not being an adventurer out of that gear and outfit... then why are you imitating this?

"It's..."

The woman still manages to circle her head trying to delude herself, but decides that it will be useless for Ray to say anything more to the gaze she sees herself, exhaling as she perceives it.

"I am, Suzy. I'm from Slam Street."

Slam Street people.

Ray, said so, not surprised but convinced Ning, sees the woman again named Suchi.

My face was wiped tight so that I could behave as an adventurer or no dirt.

Not as worldly as Elaine and the others, but a fairly neat face.

Ask ten people, it wouldn't be strange to call them cute about half of the time.

(That's about it, I think I can do enough as a whore... I guess that's not how I feel in person when I see this)

While thinking that way, Ray opens his mouth again.

"Kobolt's body, defeated by adventurers here, is basically something that the slums are gathering to strip away material and eat meat. I mean, you shouldn't have to pretend to be an adventurer and defeat Kobolt yourself, so why are you doing this again?

That's a pure question.

As Ray said, Kobolt's body, crusaded by adventurers, is basically left here after stripping away things like crusade proof sites and demon stones.

Not that no one strips the material, but it is better to defeat one or more cobolts than to take time to strip the material to secure the crusade proof site and the demon stone, the result will be more money.

For that reason, Kobolt's body was supposed to be obtained by the inhabitants of Slam Street to strip the material and consume the meat.

Naturally, the body itself needs to be picked up by the residents of Slam Street themselves, so at that time… there is a danger that even at night it will be attacked by Kobolt, but if I say so, the danger is only to that extent.

You don't have to imitate, like Suzy, defeating Kobolt yourself, because it should be profitable enough, and you can eat meat that doesn't taste as bad as goblins, even though it doesn't taste.

Yet why bother to do dangerous imitations?

If Suchi can fight to some extent, I don't even know why he would imitate this.

"Why... it's up to you because you need money"

"Can't we just collect Kobolt's body?

"That's right. We have a cup of little kids, so we need a little more food."

Even one cobolt, around fifty kg... some individuals are bigger.

Visceral bone bites need to be removed, not all fifty kg will be edible, but it will still be enough...... was Ray's standout.

(Nonetheless, not enough? How many kids do you have? No, well, maybe I'm trying to save some food by making it dry meat or something, more than I don't know how long this Kobolt raid will last)

Thinking that way, Ray sees the bodies of three cobolts falling to the ground.

The first one has a blown head and won't be able to take the crusade proof site.

Cobolt, which was a little further away and pierced through his chest, should have been destroyed with the Demon Stone.

Only the last cobolt, stabbed to the torso and critically wounded dying, was the crusade proof site and the demon stone safe, though.

Given that he wanted to make money and was fighting Kobolt, it would be true that this defeat tasted all kinds of unsavory.

Most of all, I was lucky at the point where Ray was close and helped, given that Suzy was in danger of his life.

"... well, I know the general reason. I mean, the body of Kobolt the Adventurer knocked down doesn't have a crusade proof site or a demon stone, so that's what you wanted."

"A demon stone, to be exact. Proof of Crusade can only be redeemed in guilds."

"Uh... I see. If you say so, you did."

Basically, Ray sells materials and magic stones in guilds.

At that time, I was only aware that it was normal because I was redeeming the Crusade Proof site at the same time, but regardless of the Crusade Proof site, the Demonic Stone and Materials kind would also buy it away from the Alliance.

That's why, depending on your bargaining skills, you can buy them higher than you can sell them to your guild.

... but that, on the contrary, would be bought cheaper than selling in guilds if they were poorly negotiated.

We need to do detailed checks on the material situation, negotiate about it, and other things... Ray had trouble with that, so he was selling materials and demon stones at the guild, even if it was slightly cheaper than selling them in such a store.

Even if it's somewhat cheap, that's what can defeat a lot of monsters in Ray's case, so it's a big deal that he wasn't dissatisfied with the buyout amount.

Suchi also gets a dissatisfied look at how Ray usually handles the monsters he defeats because of how Ray looks like that.

"I don't think you have a hard time with an alias."

"Right. I won't deny that."

In fact, in Ray's case, he's soaking up the kind of hardship that adventurers would otherwise do in the form of a download.

It's big that there was a presence called Seto, and it's big that when it hasn't been that long since we worked in the Guild, the Oak settlement was made near the Guild, where Ray defeated the Oak King.

The result also allowed me to hang my eyes from the top and meet Elaine as well.

With that in mind, it would be natural for Suzy to envy Ray.

However, it is also true that becoming famous will cause a lot of trouble.

As there were adventurers who attacked Ray for the mistering he had, even when he went to crusade the Orc settlement.

"Gum... and take it for now! I need to take down Kobolt and make some money! I can't afford you any more! Bye."

That's how he screams, and on Suzy's back trying to walk away, he hangs Ray's voice.

"Don't you want that Kobolt body?

"I didn't take him down. With your help, you can't just take it away."

"... then it's a barter. I've been gathering some information. I want information about it."

To Ray's words, Susie had a surprised look on her face, but she stopped her legs.
