Legend

"Hmmm...... I knew it was still nighttime and don't get cold"

While Elaine says so, she looks around.

Already the sun is completely hidden and the moon and stars shine in the sky.

The day is getting somewhat - and still less than ten degrees - warmer, but it's still cold, naturally, at night.

Most importantly, Ray wears a dragon robe, so he doesn't care about the area at all, and thanks to Elaine's inheritance of the Enchanted Dragon's demonic stone, which she speaks of as cold, her physical abilities are lightly beyond human.

It would also be half-condition-reflective to say that it is cold.

"Right. I just finished my request to dismantle Giganto Turtle today, and I just want it to warm up a little faster if I can."

"Well, Lord Dusker was delighted."

"Uh... yeah. Well, yeah."

The only reason Ray and Elaine walking around the city at night like this was because Ray went to Dusker to report on the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.

So I ran into Elaine, who was talking about the neutrals and the aristocrats, and this is how the two of us were supposed to go home to the marina.

... Although, since Ray is still staying at the wheat pavilion at dusk, Elaine is the only one who wants to go home to the marina.

It should be noted that Seto and Yello should have played together in the garden of the Marina house by now.

"It's a shame you can't eat as much meat as you like after the dismantling of Giganto Turtle"

"It's not like that. There's a good amount of Giganto Turtle meat in the mysteries. Of course, if Seto eats a glass of belly every day... he won't keep it until next year for sure, but I don't think he'll have a problem with it as long as he eats a certain amount regularly"

"Is there that much?

"Well, the demolition went on for over a month.... Now, the dismantling itself hasn't gone that far, but it's horrible."

In the end, this winter's dismantling did not allow me to dismantle all one of my legs...

Sometimes I guess I'm not used to it yet, but what eventually dismantled it was, like, one of the six legs, less than half.

Nevertheless, the dismantling of Giganto Turtle may naturally take time, as there are many other things to be done, such as scaling, skinning, and so on.

"Next year, I think the rate of dismantling will increase more because the faces who participated in the dismantling this year will be joining us again. Listen to Giganto Turtle, I think there 'll be a lot of guys left in the Guild in the winter."

In the sense of making money, the dismantling of Giganto Turtle is sure to make a lot of money.

But that's not just a commission, if you sell the meat of Giganto Turtle that Ray handed out as an addition to the face that participated in the demolition.

It's just superb... that's the kind of meat nobles and royalty wouldn't be able to make less money themselves if they couldn't make the choice of selling it without eating it themselves.

Alternatively, those who stay because they want to taste meat rather than make money may also become the right number.

"Hmm. I'm pretty sure the winter guilds were lively, thanks in fact to the dismantling of Giganto Turtle. … but since I don't know the winter guilds either, it's only a comparison to other places, including Anesis"

"Uh... right. It was definitely lively. Now I guess I would have been more lively without one of those eyeballs."

With words exchanged that way, the two walk around the city.

It's a dark road with no particular lights if it's normal, but both Ray and Elaine can be described as half-way out of the public.

As a matter of course, I was able to walk along the road with good night vision and brightness to the extent of starlight.

... That would be why. The only thing I noticed was its existence.

"Ha. I'm hungry today, and I would have liked to go home as soon as I could,"

"They say the marina will cook a dish with fish today. If we don't get home soon, Büne might eat everything."

"That's where I want you to leave me if you can, honestly."

We both sigh small and point our gaze at the narrow path that is stretching to where we are walking.

There were signs of multiple people there.

No, if there were just signs of people, nothing in particular would have gone wrong.

But not until the signs of intent to kill... but if they are pointing malice at themselves, there is no reason to leave them as Ray or Elaine.

"Come out."

In those words of Ray, you must have understood that we were found hiding.

From the narrow passage, nearly ten men show up.

Young people have been in their mid teens, and older people look like men in their near thirties.

Everyone of them had weapons like sticks and daggers in their hands, pointing their malicious gaze at Ray and Elaine.

No, should I say that being directed at Elaine is a lower desire than malice?

Elaine, whose gaze was turned, naturally understood the meaning of that gaze.

Just because I understand what gaze means, I flaunt that beautiful frown.

"You guys didn't get the wrong guy? I don't think we know what you guys can do about it."

I should have brought Seto.

With that in mind, it was Ray I told you about, but if you mean it, you don't notice Ray or Elaine, you have a mockery grin on your mouth.

"Hehe. Just the two of us on such a small road... and walking with such a good woman is like telling me to attack you? I'm glad we're the good guys. Don't worry, I won't take any lives. I'll take the golden-eyed stuff instead, and I'll have plenty of fun with that woman over there!

Before a man of leadership could speak to him until the end, Ray instantly stuffs his mistake and punches him in the face.

Still with minimal relief, some of the front teeth were broken, but the life itself was safe.

"You guys know who the hell you're involved in? Now that I forgive you, just go away with the man."

Shin, and.

Ray's words were too unexpected to see Ray's current movements, even though it was above all night, the men silence in an instant.

"Can't you tell without saying it again and again? Go away, he said. Is that what I said? Or... if you want to fight me till the end, do you mind?

In such Ray's words, the men must have realized that the two in front of them were ultimately unbeatable opponents of their own.

At first sight, he escapes from in front of Ray.

... so while I was there, I didn't leave the first guy Ray beat me up with just a little surprise to Ray.

That's exactly what I thought I'd do, leave my people and run away.

"It's amazing how you run away."

"Ray, maybe this one thing is because I finished dismantling Giganto Turtle...... is that it?

"Uh... I don't think so. I've been working with people who dismantle me every morning, so I don't think they ever attacked me without knowing."

It was only natural that Ray would act with the demolition personnel in the morning, beyond Giganto Turtle being housed in the mistering.

Of course Ray doesn't know the faces of all the personnel, but I still don't think he'll forget the faces of his opponents that stand out in such a bad way as they do now.

More than that, it was also possible for Ray to predict that he would not have participated in the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, although that was definitely not the case.

"From the looks of it, it doesn't mean you're a slum dweller."

To Ray's words, Elaine tells him so.

In fact, the men's outfits earlier were quite beautiful as they were worn by the residents of Slam Street.

It's not like every inhabitant of Slam Street is wearing clothes that are likely to break even now.

Above among the slums… it is not uncommon to wear clothes that are more expensive than ordinary residents if they become great in the organization behind them.

"I guess we'll be taking more of those guys in the spring.... the guards need to work harder."

With that said, the Rays walk down the night lane.

Fortunately, after that, he arrives in the aristocratic district without any particular problems, without ever encountering a similar earlier robbery.

And naturally, noble neighborhoods are surrounded by adventurers hired by nobles, soldiers serving nobles, knights, and so on, so there is nothing like earlier.

... Most of all, we are great looking around this neighborhood at what we misunderstood in the world. That's why some people like to think that suspicious guys can look into it and take it away if they have any golden-eyed stuff... etc.

Nevertheless, as a matter of course, these people will be cleaned up if they talk to the upper management of the guild and, in some cases, the person who hired them to behave like this.

"Speaking of which, I hear a guy who got it wrong a while back was walking around the aristocratic city with our faces, and that ended up being what could be called the worst."

"I guess some of them are like that"

We both walk in talking and eventually arrive at the marina's house, which has become an already familiar place.

I go into the garden of the marina's house without any particular voice.

If a counterpart unfamiliar with the marina imitates this, that's what the spirits protecting the house would immediately strip their fangs off.

In terms of security equipment, the Spirit was very good at recognizing the opponent and doing things like automatically intercepting or welcoming him.

Naturally, Ray and Elaine are recognized by the Spirit as fellow marinas, and most importantly, they come to this house like every night, so there's nothing to be eliminated.

When we both head to the garden, the air is different from one point to another.

Unlike the cold air outside, it's very warm from the place.

Whose fault it was, it was obvious without having to think about it.

And as the air changes, so does the smell of cooking.

As we talked about on the way here, I could confirm perfectly well that today is a dish made with fish.

Gu, and.

The moment I smell that smell, Ray's stomach complains of hunger.

Nevertheless, nothing like Ray was skipping lunch.

I've had lunch as usual, and I've had good sandwiches and tea served in the Lords' Hall.

Still, I guess this is how my belly rings because that's all Ray's body isn't fuel efficient.

... Although, as a Ray, I don't have any problems with money to eat, so my fuel-efficient body could eat a lot of different dishes, so I almost wanted it.

"Oh, welcome home. It's like I was after you to come back just when you were ready to cook."

A marina comes out into the garden with a plate of fragrant fish dishes, such as steaming fish with various vegetables and hanging hot oil from the top at the end…, sees Ray and Elaine and tells them so.

"It's not like I was after anything, it's a coincidence.... I would have arrived sooner if those guys hadn't gotten me involved"

To the word, Marina sees the general result.

Nevertheless, regardless of Ray not taking Seto, Elaine is definitely a celebrity in Gilm as well.

Though I was a little surprised to have such an involved opponent in Elaine.

"Sounds like you had a rough time.... but I think you've done well enough to forget about that difficult situation for dinner today. Let's eat."

"Right. As for Bühne, he seems quite attracted to the smell of the dishes he has at the marina."

Vihera sitting at the table tells him so with a grin.

But to such Vihera's words, Büne herself had pointed her mouth with a slightly grumpy look.

I'm pretty sure I was looking forward to cooking, but I still didn't want you to talk about yourself, something like that.

"Mmm!"

It was Bühne speaking out in protest, but Marina grinned at how Bühne looked like that, placing the dish in the center of the table.

From that treatment, it would be obvious that today's main dish is this dish.

Most importantly, the fish used in this dish is said to be large and very tasty among the fish caught when we went to the sea last summer.

That's why I guess that's what I thought, just right for the main dish.

"Dear Elaine, this way, please"

Ara pulled a chair for Elaine, and Ray sat in an empty chair again, and Seto and Yellow, who were playing in the garden, gathered together, and this is how the meal began.
