"Um, as far as I'm concerned, I don't know what to do about not asking up there"

Suchi suggested that not only those who come to work here, but also their families, can not sleep in that warehouse?

I asked the guild staff about that, Ray, but that was the reply I got back.

"The question is, if you can't dismantle Giganto Turtle in the spring, can you really get out of there..."

"Uh... is that possible"

The warehouse of the guild means that the roofs and walls are solid.

At least you don't have to worry about things like suffering from a gap wind like Slam Street or snow in the house.

(Speaking of which, there was snow in the hallway in middle school.)

From the fact that there's snow in the house, Ray remembers his middle school days.

In school buildings such as decades of construction, they were made of wood rather than concrete, which is why, after decades, gaps could have been created in windows.

As a result, snow came in through the gap in the winter and, even slightly, there was snow in the hallway.

If it's to the extent of walking down the hallway. Nevertheless, Ray would definitely shy away from living in such a place, etc.

That's not just Ray, that's what would be the same for the residents of Slam Street.

I guess that's why guild officials worry about things like being seated inside the warehouse even after the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.

"If it's just the people who are here, they have families in Slam Street, so if they run out of work, there will be some people back there. But when people like family and friends live together... I don't want to imitate them if I can."

Naturally, as an Alliance, you want to use the warehouse for a variety of purposes, beyond being a warehouse for the Alliance.

If the slum city dwellers don't leave from there, either contact the guards as a guild… in some cases, the possibility also arises of asking the adventurer to force them out.

That's a natural treatment for a guild, but the outside world gets very bad.

That's why it was my honest desire as an Alliance employee to avoid such imitation if I could.

"But that's not always gonna happen, is it? Given Susie's personality, I think she'll leave if the deadline comes right."

"It's the guild that can't move just the hopeful observation that I think....... but it is also true that the demolition is understaffed. I'm going to go ahead and give you a reason to do that."

"... okay?

Given the words from earlier, the guild official was just wondering if Ray's - Suzy's, to be precise - disagreed with the opinion, and Ray is surprised by the kind of words he accepts.

I can tell even in the hood. Ray's surprised face was funny, the guild official opens his mouth with a funny grin.

"Yeah, of course. As for this dismantling of Giganto Turtle, I have been told to listen to Lord Ray's request whenever possible. Perhaps, but even the one above may not be able to do it right away, but eventually I thought I'd take it on."

Try it as a guild and I've asked Ray for several difficult requests so far.

That's like impossible first if you're a normal adventurer.

That is why the Alliance Master has told me straight away to listen to that request whenever possible in this case.

Beyond that, I was almost certain that I would eventually accept it if it weren't for the extra difficulty.

"Right. Then will you get permission upstairs as soon as you can?

"Okay. Now, I'm going to go to the guild right away and make an application."

In tribute to Ray's words, the Alliance staff tells something to another Alliance staff member who was giving instructions to those who were dismantling a little further away. Speaking to the word, the guild official nodded and ran off the scene.

... Though this place isn't that far from the guilds, it was still more likely that monsters would show up than outside the guilds...

(Ma, you're okay)

The work of the Alliance staff was that of a man of considerable strength.

More than that, unless even a monster of such a high rank came out... even if it was less, if it was about the Kobolt that came out the most this time, it would not have been the person I could handle.

"Thank you for waiting. In the meantime, I have instructed you to let me know above if you have an overview, so I will wait for your reply over there later. … although it seems a lot harder to completely empty some of the warehouses. Especially at this time of year."

"Really?

"Yes, because... all adventurers will work like the last step in the fall."

"Uh... well, that's right. Especially if he's going to have enough money over the winter, he's going to be desperate because he doesn't want to work in the cold."

This means that you will work so desperately and as a result many materials and demonic stones will be packed into the warehouse.

They may also be sold to merchants who come to the Guild to purchase goods, but the merchants will not be able to sell out the kind of materials the Guild bought after, beyond standing the Guild before it snows, and will naturally enter the warehouse.

What is particularly common is the material of Gamelion, which can still be considered a specialty of autumn?

Sometimes it is quite large as an individual, and fur also has the corresponding size.

... Fortunately, most of the meat is already sold out as of now?

In any case, of the warehouses that the Alliance has several, it is necessary to vacate warehouses where few materials are located.

"Haha, right. This year, though, the impact of the construction of the new building is quite different."

"I guess. No way, Kobolt's breaking into the city... if that's not just once, but night after night. For one thing, shouldn't we have built a wall just because it's simple?

"They're also considering that at the top of the guild. Even the guilders are talking about working from the problem of adventurers. … but when it comes to keeping even simple walls from coming into the guild, it's going to be a pretty massive construction."

"Shouldn't we have done construction around there before it snowed?

"... That's right. Now, I think so. Nevertheless, I didn't think Cobolt would continue to break in so far in mass initially. I don't know what's causing this."

One reason would be that this is the first time since the birth of a city called Gilm that large-scale additions have been made so far.

When we needed to increase the current allowances for guilds from time to time, we had a lot of plans, but it was also decided by the presence of the Trento Forest that we could move forward at once.

But above all, the significance of professional mediation would have been great for the adventurers who had come all the way to Gilm for the construction of the additions.

Initially, it was not thought that Kobolt would attack this far, and for that reason it was necessary to proceed with a little more construction work than building a simple wall.

Circumstances around it were intricately intertwined and this was the current situation.

"Still, they built a simple wall in a hurry, didn't they? Most of all, it was a really simple wall, so it seemed like there was nothing I could do about the massive amount of cobolts that were coming."

Another Alliance official, who had instructed those who were carrying out the demolition a little further away, pinched his mouth.

Having heard that explanation, Ray thinks a little… eventually opens his mouth.

"For once, I ask, as a guild or a guild, the current situation of Cobolt coming out inexhaustible is not something you tolerate, is it?

"Right. And to be honest, you never thought it would be the way it is today."

"If that happens, if Cobolt can't come into the guild... or if we can drastically reduce that number, can we think of more people who can turn it around to dismantle this one?

"Ha? Ha, that would definitely increase. … it's just possible that Cobolt is more attracted to the smell of Giganto Turtle's blood than it is now, and it will come"

"Are there any problems with the residents of Slam Street? Cobolt's meat is treasured as food, isn't it? We were talking about selling materials and magic stones."

That's what Ray asked me from what Suzy was telling me, but on this matter, both guild officials look at each other with a seemingly difficult look.

Eventually, the person responsible for the dismantling opens his mouth with a more difficult look on his face.

"To be honest, I don't know the area. Residents of Slam Street have definitely obtained quite a few Kobolt bodies..."

"When that happens, do you mind if I build a wall over here somewhere connected to the outside on my own?

"... what?

Alliance officials looked like they didn't know what Ray was talking about for a moment.

Still, it would be a testament to the ability of this guild official to return to me immediately to explore his thoughts.

"We need to talk to the one above, but I was basically wondering if there's a problem. If you're in Slam Street... than you've gotten a ton of Kobolt corpses before. Trouble with food... maybe not, but I can't say exactly what this one is."

"If we try to be residents of Slam Street, Kobolt is a resource that we gain by not doing dangerous imitations… If you don't get it all of a sudden, you can't deny the possibility of dissatisfaction."

To the words of the other guild clerk, the more Ray snorts.

If you try to be a slum city dweller, Kobolt's body is a golden tree.

If you imitate it so that you can't get it, there's no doubt Ray will buy the grudge.

Ray also understands that, but considers it a priority to increase the manpower of dismantling Giganto Turtle rather than being resented by the residents of Slam Street.

"But how the hell did you get the wall?

"Oh, my earthly magic can handle that area. It's just... I'm not that good at dirt magic, so the walls themselves aren't that high."

To be precise, it's not dirt magic, it's terrain manipulation of death-size skills.

The current level IV can be raised or lowered by one hundred and fifty cm, within a radius of seventy m.

… normally one hundred and fifty cm, that would also make it easy to jump over if it were a cobolt.

However, if you imitate such things as raising one hundred and fifty centimeters to create a wall and lowering the part outside the guild by one hundred and fifty centimeters, the wall will eventually be three meters high.

It was Ray's expectation that with some 3m, he might not be able to imitate things like preventing the cobolt completely... but the majority would be able to shut it out.

"I see, is it earthly magic? I think I'd rather do it than not, but if it's a dirt wall, wouldn't Cobolt imitate things like digging?

"Well, you can't help it around there. As for what to do...... right. If you let the marina use the Spirit Magic of Water and Wind to freeze the dirt walls, you can also counter some digging?

What exactly does freezing dirt walls do?

Ray didn't even know that, but it was easy to predict that it would have a higher endurance than just making dirt walls normally.

"Is it Master Marina...... uh, yes. That's right. Lord Ray is having a party with Master Marina, so you can imitate that."

That said, guild officials turn their respectful gaze to Ray.

For guild staff, the impression that Marina is a great pre-guild master is stronger.

That's why Ray, who wants me to give that marina a light hand, was a respectable opponent.

"For that reason, could you pass the guild to the upper management of the guild? If I get permission, that's what I'd like to build a wall for today."

"Is it today?... you're still quick to get into action. Ok. Now run to the guild again to someone..."

"Waited."

Let's get you running.

Ray waits for the word before the guild officials say so to the end.

Not knowing why he was stopped, Ray calls Seto, who was wary of what was going on around him a little further away, to the guild officials who would turn their gaze of doubt to him.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and stroking Seto's throat-beating head, Ray tells Alliance officials.

"I'm free now anyway. I can't even find a magic item."

Ray grumbles so much just a little disappointed, I guess, because he still couldn't find a magic item to attract Kobolt to.

That's how Ray went with Seto to the Guild.
