Legend

Ray was eating in the garden of the marina's house as usual the night he was brought here.

"So where did the people end up living?

Ray answers the marina as she reaches for the skewer, asking the bread chopped with her hands.

"That's the warehouse where the slums were staying when we were demolishing Giganto Turtle. Looks like we had a couple of other options for once, but they all decided to stay together after all."

I guess the fact that they stayed together when they came to the Guild created a strong sense of union among the Guild to some extent.

In addition, since they still came from outside the Guild, such people decided to stay together... it was Ray's expectation.

Either way, Ray is done with the first batch of the requested transport, so he will be doing another request to collect the logged timber in the Trento Forest for a few days from tomorrow.

"It was a little unexpected that the number of pigeons was that low. Well, since the construction of the additions has started in earnest, it must be huge."

That's what Vihella tells you, as Ray's words follow.

"Precisely, you're a good arm. I don't know, but it looks like it affects a lot of trees that have been felled by the good and the bad in their arms."

With that said, Ray remembers the conversation between the twins.

Sometimes it was the well-armed ones who recruited this time, and as a matter of course, the ones Ray and Seto brought in are the ones who have fulfilled that standard.

Because that's what we talked about when we were taking a break while we were on the move and when we were eating.

Precautions for logging. They tell each other what to do, and they are convinced of each other, or argue that it is different.

When Ray harvests a tree, that's what happens when it flashes in Death Size, and the tree collapses.

But that's what you can do because it's only Ray, and it's usually not that easy.

That's why I could barely understand the content of the story because it was professional, but I could still understand it somehow.

"Is it going to be that different? But I didn't really care about that last year."

"Last year was last year, and I've been pretty busy. You couldn't afford to care less about that, could you? Or maybe it became a problem last year, and this year it started to matter."

"I see. It's important to use reflection."

Only for a long time the battle on the battlefield, Elaine probably had something to convince me about the area as well.

Also, other faces nodded convincingly to Elaine's words like that.

"Well, that's what it looks like when it comes to Xu. Maybe all the people I brought in made the choice to stay in the same place."

Maybe we were able to forgive each other because we talked about our skills and fluency.

Yes, Ray tells.

In fact, the fact that they brought only the arm-and-rigger means that they had the best skill in the place where they lived.

In other words, the others were often unable to follow or understand the story, and I guess I was glad to have someone who could make a good sense of my story in that sense.

In that sense, this earning into the Guild was definitely a good stimulus for the Jinx.

"I see. But in that case, you should be careful, huh?

"Huh? Why?

I don't understand Elaine's words, which seemed serious, even slightly, and Ray tilts his neck.

But Elaine goes on with her words in a smudged tone against such a ray.

"We may not have had a problem this time because we happened to be compatible with each other, but sometimes it is said to be the same situation, but compatibility sucks.... like you can't forgive because you're similar to yourself"

"Oh, fellow haters."

It's not exactly a homophobic aversion, but I guess that still conveyed the nuances of Ray's words.

Faces other than Elaine - other than Büne, who is obsessed with eating - snort at Ray's words.

"It's a similar situation, so some guys are hostile to the other guy, so you should be careful. Especially in this case, they're coming to make money from villages and cities, right? Then, I'm sorry to say, but it's also possible that the person would send someone with personality problems, deciding that he's better able to do his job without being in a village or city"

"... Exactly, I don't think so. That's a request from Gilm, right? Master Dusker's name is known in many ways. Why do you think it's so unsavory to send such a person to a request from a place ruled by such a Dusker?

"I don't know. Some people in the world think they are the greatest, and that's why many people think so when anything is what they think it is. Ray's been through a lot, and you know the area, right?

Even as Ray nodded at Elaine's words like that, I guess that's not the way the fool got there, so I thought.

"Yes, I thought..."

Ha, sighs depressingly and looks at the sight that is spreading in front of you.

"Look, I don't approve of this guy working with me. Whatever happens, absolutely."

"Don't be ridiculous! That's why I'm sorry I work with you!

It is not the same villages that are arguing… it is a completely different village.

A few days after the first delivery of the pigeons to the Guild.

The trees were accustomed to working in the Trento Forest, and the felled trees that had accumulated were also transported by Ray in mystering, before leaving the Guild with Seto to gather them again… the result was the sight that was currently spreading in front of them.

"You're in trouble."

It was the mayor of this village who told Ray so.

I mean, it's the person who recommended the cunt who's currently fighting in front of Ray.

"Right. If I could, I'd have had someone with no more personality problems."

"Even if they say so, because Deltone is definitely the smartest lady in our village. So, what do we do? As for this one, we're already talking about sending Deltone to the Guild to earn money, and I'm getting ready to do the work for the rest of the winter."

"My arm doesn't have to be that far, so it would be helpful if I were a little more personally problem-free."

That's what Ray says, and the biggest reason we're currently arguing is because the guy named Deltone was selling fights at the moment his gaze matched.

A man in his mid-twenties or so, and he's just doing his job as a pimp, it's not strange if he's bloody.

But still, I honestly wonder if selling a fight the moment I see it.

That's why I said I wanted it to be something else...

"Unfortunately, Deltone is the only one who can get us out of our village."

The village chief says so softly.

Having heard that, Ray wonders what to do now... make a decision immediately and open his mouth.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't have one this time."

"Hmm? Aren't you craving a good arm?

"Right. I want a good arm. But I don't need a guy with personality problems as long as he's in the way of doing his job."

"Even if they say so, you're in trouble. As I said earlier, only Deltone can get it out of here. Even if they say they don't want Deltone, whoever can get it out instead..."

Seeing how the village chief told him so, Ray had something to guess.

As for this case of collecting a standing armpit, even the guilders know that it is quite sudden.

For this reason, it is given some money as an advance payment or wherever it resides.

(I mean, does this village chief want more of that advance, or was he just willing to get the advance from the start and dispatch a... well, which one?)

I wasn't sure, but there was a decision on Ray that I was probably sure.

I can remember being slightly irritated by the attitude of such a village chief, but it's not that strong.

As for the advance, it would be huge because it's not Ray's money or anything, it's what the upper Guild has been paying for this time making a request.

Still, it's not funny if an adventurer is imitated to be insulted, and above all, it's not necessarily that no one will come out to imitate the same as this village chief when this one thing spreads.

When that happened, Ray had decided what to do.

"Okay. Then I don't need that gibberish. You don't have to pay me back the advance, so you can have it."

There's a grin on Ray's face like that that you can call ugly.

Precisely because this village chief gets the most out of it, it was such a development.

Though Deltone has personality problems, he's actually a good fighter.

Just the advance money to dispatch that Deltone, make it this village and it will be a pretty good amount.

If, having received it, Deltone did not have to be dispatched either, it would have been precisely in the best interest of the village chief.

... more, it's only a short term gain, though.

"So are you sure?

"Oh. I know it's going to be a lot harder from now on, but that's the result of inviting myself around. You have nothing to say from me."

"... what? What the hell is that?

Did you not understand what Ray was saying, or did you feel ominous about the words?

I didn't know that, but to the gaze of questioning the village chief's reasons, Ray goes on to say the words without looking particularly concerned.

"Nothing. It's not that hard."

That said, Ray continues his words as he is gazed at by Deltone and the other villagers who were arguing with Deltone...

"One thing about this one is that I'm going to report it all to the guild properly. That won't be all decided, but I still think the guild will look into this village a lot. If anything happens as a result... well, you're sad."

From the way I interacted with the village chief, it is easy to predict to Ray that this is probably not the first time something like this has happened.

If that is known to the Alliance, it is not surprising, naturally, that this village should be sanctioned of any kind.

Yeah, like, for example, some kind of monster herd lives near this village, and even if you try to ask the guild to crusade it, you can't accept it.

(From what I've seen, it looks like there are no branches of guild in this village, so maybe I got it wrong)

Before I rode down to this village on Ceto, I could see the village from above.

Among them, there is no branch of the guild and no place to think.

… it is not strange to be a small branch of the guild as it is in this village.

If so, it is possible that we could not have known just from above.

"Stupid! Don't be ridiculous! You think you're allowed to do that!

It's not the same tone as the first one that seems serene, the village chief shouting at Ray.

It was easy for Ray to understand that his attitude until earlier was just to wear a cat and probably this one was vegan.

Nevertheless, no matter how many village chiefs scream, no force exists there.

No, I may be able to order the villagers ruled by this village chief with their force, but for Ray, who has fought many monsters and those called masters, I'm just a little surprised at how suddenly this village chief behaves even when he shouts.

"Forgiveness or not, it's not up to me to decide. It's up to the guild to decide. Well, especially if there's nothing to be backward about, maybe it won't be an issue, so why don't you just wait easy?

"Become... do you think an adventurer's attitude would be good for Nguyen!?

"I think"

He was the village chief who thought he would be a little upset, but Ray tells him so lightly.

That's what you said you were completely blind to. That attitude damages the village chief's strong self-esteem and stains his face red with anger.

But Ray turns his gaze and opens his mouth to make such a village chief feel nothing in particular.

"As I said earlier, there shouldn't be any particular problem without hindsight. It could be a lot tough from now on... well, good luck. That's why..."

"Wait a minute. Come on! You can decide whatever you want.

In the middle of Ray's words, the problem was... Deltone squeezes his fist and beats Ray.

But Ray releases the counter without even looking specifically at the blow, and Deltone loses consciousness to a lightly pierced blow through his bragging muscles and collapses to the ground.

"This is what it is.... Then go back to Seto's cage."

Ray glances at Deltone and tells the others so.

The village chief didn't think Deltone, who was also proud of his power in the village, would lose so lightly, he couldn't say anything until Ray and the others were gone after all.
