When Ray and Seto were searching for magic items without punishment at the site of the additions...... just outside the Gilm, the demolition of Giganto Turtle was progressing steadily.
Nevertheless, given the size of Giganto Turtle, its progression could be described as turtle-like slowness in the literal sense.
And on Giganto Turtle's side are those who are dismantling, guards who defeat monsters who have gathered attracted by the smell of blood, and…
"Wow... you have such a big monster"
"Are the Gilm adventurers all monsters, like defeating such a giant monster?
"Hey! I'm telling you, not all Gilm adventurers can defeat a guy like Giganto Turtle! Though... okay? Don't get me wrong there!
Those who came to see the dismantling of Giganto Turtle at first sight see how it is.
Some guild officials even did the job of keeping such spectators out of the way of demolition.
One of the guards prepared to defeat the monster when he arrives shouts reflexively at the words of such a spectator.
Because the person you were talking to wasn't an adventurer, if anyone really thinks they can defeat a monster like Giganto Turtle, in a tone like it's not a hoarding thing.
Even the adventurers in the guilds aren't there any other than Ray who can defeat this many monsters on an individual...... but only a really top-notch few.
"Huh? Really?
"Naturally! Damn... in the first place, I was wondering if someone with the same strength as the exceptions like Ray and Seto would ever be there."
"Right. In a way, it feels like a rank fraud."
I was at the side of the man of the screaming adventurer, another adventurer squeaks smudgingly.
Did you hear that word, and another adventurer who was nearby nods to agree.
"I'm a high rank adventurer because I'm a B for once... try being another rank B adventurer and you don't want me to be with you"
"Do they think you're in the ranks with that deep red? Wow, that doesn't get a little stylish. At least I don't want to imitate that."
The same rank means it's not strange to be asked to work the same way.
In that sense, what the man is saying would be an undeniable fact for the other adventurers.
In the first place, it's weird in many ways at a time when Rank B Adventurers have just the strength to work with only three Rank S Adventurers in the world.
I don't know what's going on...... that's why if someone like that was talking in a nuance earlier about seeing Giganto Turtle and anyone on Gilm's Adventurer could do the same thing, that's why Ray can fight the Rank S Adventurer, so there was a good chance that something like asking the Rank B Adventurer to fight the Rank S Adventurer would happen.
If you let me take such a request, that would be tantamount to suicide.
Most importantly, I wish I didn't basically take such a request more than just being an adventurer.
In such an exchange, my voice sounds unexpected.
"Hey, dude. That... maybe not the Princess General?
It wasn't meant to be that loud, but nevertheless the word General Princess definitely reaches the ears of those around us.
And if you look around you half reflexively, as the word goes, General Princess...... Elaine's figure was there.
A beauty that attracts the gaze of the beholder to a luxurious vertical roll of blonde hair as if the sunlight itself had become hair.
Such a person is walking towards Giganto Turtle with Ara.
Elaine's appearance is blinded not only by the adventurers who were vigilant around her, but also by many, such as those who were coming to see the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, as well as those who are dismantling it, guild officials….
He was walking without looking particularly concerned because he was used to being directed at the gaze of such longing - some of which had the gaze of desire.
Eventually, Alliance officials approach Elaine like that and Ara's side who walks beside her.
"Dear Elaine, welcome. I have heard from Lord Ray. Today, I came to visit the demolition of Giganto Turtle..."
"Mm-hmm. I was listening to Ray last night. Nevertheless... it's amazing to see it again."
Looking at Giganto Turtle, Elaine tells.
In fact, the size of Giganto Turtle, the people who are dismantling it, the adventurers who escort such people around them.... and the tourists looking around at the demolition.
What is already happening there is close to a kind of show, not just a demolition.
I guess that's why so many tourists are here, too.
"Haha, right. You could have made money as a guild if you'd taken a sight of it."
There were so many spectators out there that Alliance officials joked about it.
Of course, this is how we get together because we have an escort adventurer... but still, we can never say it's safe.
So far what attracts me to the smell of blood is that there are a lot of cobolts attacking Gilm, and other than that, Rank D... Sometimes a big guy like Rank C comes along?
But the escort adventurers were hired to defeat it, and fighting such monsters was a form of entertainment.
The number of adventurers hired as escorts is high this time, so there's nothing like damage to the tourists.
... Most importantly, the demolition of a monster would rarely be a spectacle, and even if it were, it would never attract so many spectators.
Still, I guess this many people get together because it's still winter.
Unlike hanging from spring to autumn, there are no many types of entertainment.
For such people, the dismantling of this Giganto Turtle could have been described as entertainment in outfit.
Look nearby at the corpse of a giant monster and see with its eyes a demolition site that you usually don't see much of except the adventurer. Besides, you can see sights like the escorts knocking down real monsters coming at you up close, so there's no reason why this isn't popular.
Nevertheless, the escorts are supposed to protect those who are dismantling Giganto Turtle, not the spectators.
When it's really time to dismantle, priority will be given to those who are dismantling... casually, there are faces like Rank C Adventurers and Rank B Adventurers in the spectators, so if anything happens, there won't be that much damage to the spectators.
"A spectacle, is it? If you're a guild of guilds, don't you ever have to do that to have trouble funding them?
Arla, who was listening on Elaine's side, asks.
Many rare monster demon stones and materials are naturally brought into Guild on the periphery.
The Alliance had made many profits by selling it to various stores and, in some cases, to those living in other cities and cities.
Gamelion meat, especially caught in the fall, can be sold at a considerable price except for consumption in guilds.
… the amount consumed by the guilds will be considerable in the first place.
It's a guild that makes money that way, even with the help of the powerful, but doesn't it have to take sights from those who are coming all the way to see Giganto Turtle dismantle?
Yes, Ara told him, and the guild official laughs like he has trouble with Ara's words like that...
Even if you're not going to make more money than you need to, if you get more tourists this way, I guess it's not strange to think of a sightseeing fee.
"But I don't have any problems with the funds.... So, what do we do? If you want to take your time, I'll get you a chair or something."
"I don't mind, we can keep this up"
To the words of the guild officials, Elaine tells them so softly.
If this is a nobleman who hasn't worked out his body in particular, he would ordain normally things like bringing a chair because standing is hard.
But Elaine has been running through a lot of battlefields.
As long as I'm just standing, I can watch it with no problems at all.
Alliance officials are also reassured by the fact that they do not have to prepare chair types for such Elaine's words.
Simple chairs and desks are available because we have to do things like withhold the name of the person who did the job of dismantling once, make proper payments to that person, or let him have meat as a souvenir besides a reward.
But that's a really easy substitute, and if you say so, you can rephrase it as crude.
Not very much, but not the kind of substitute that nobility would use.
I mean, if Elaine said she needed a chair, that's what she needed to go back to the guild once and source the corresponding chair from the guild or someplace.
Even if it just got better without having to imitate like that, it would be helpful as an Alliance employee.
"Now if you'll excuse me around here because I have to give instructions for demolition work. Call me if you need anything. I'll let you move as much as I can."
"Mm-hmm. Do that. I'm sorry if I interrupted Ray's work and let him use his time for no reason."
"Thank you. So..."
The courteous guild staff leaves in front of Elaine, and beware of those who are blinded by Elaine's appearance and lack concentration.
"Look, to concentrate on dismantling. A monster in the corner, too, if you fail to dismantle it, its value falls. Focus properly so you don't."
To that voice, I recall that many are dismantling their current situation… Giganto Turtle, and resume their work.
"You've got a lot of control."
"That's right. Even if it's a guild, you wouldn't want to send weird people here to awkward your relationship with Ray. In that sense, it would be natural to send someone with solid strength, wouldn't it?
It'll be tough if you send bad people and that gets in Marina's ear.
With that said, Vihera approaches Elaine.
Seeing Vihella on this occasion doesn't look particularly surprising to Elaine.
Because I heard you say that last night.
"What about Bühne?
"Hmm? Look, there it is."
Vihera turned her gaze to Elaine's inquiry because she didn't even look like a monster at the moment, or because she looked at the sight of the demolition work in an obscure manner.
Not long ago, Cobolt, who I believe was planning to head to the Guild, had defeated Giganto Turtle when he came attracted to the smell of his blood... but today, compared to yesterday, there was an increase in the number of escorts, which he defeated lightly.
The increase in the number of escorts is due to the urgent hiring of many as escorts by Alliance staff who saw a higher number of Kobolts than expected yesterday.
For Büne, who thinks about defeating Kobolt to get crusade proof sites and demon stones, the guild's act only increased his rivals.
"A little grumpy, isn't it?
"... do you?
I've been with Bühne for quite a while, Elaine, but I still don't understand how she looks at Bühne right now and seems grumpy.
Because the only beaune now from Elaine is, as usual, faceless.
You know what I mean? And Elaine turns her gaze to Ara, but Ara doesn't know the difference in the look on Bühne's face, either, naturally.
Elaine nods as she agrees to Ara shaking her head sideways if she doesn't know.
But seeing those two, Vihera tilts her neck gently.
"Really? I think it's pretty easy to understand."
"Only Vihera will know that"
Just a little...... really just a little, but Elaine squeaks in the way she looks envious.
For Elaine, Bühne is only a child, no matter how many arms she stands.
More than that, it's natural to want to do things like shelter or be cute, but to be honest, I couldn't help but change my expression.
"Hmmm...... yeah? Well, if you move with Bühne, you'll find out about the area one of these days."
"I hope so. So, whatever about Bühne, is Vihella just visiting?
"Right. If a highly-ranked monster comes attracted to the smell of blood, I think it'll be my turn."
That said, Vihera had a glossy grin.
