Legend

"Cerberus?... That's a pain in the ass."

Inside the office, Dusker's words echo.

After selling Cerberus material in the guild, Ray had come to the Lords' Hall.

I think the report from the knight will soon tell us that Cerberus is out, but I decided that it would be better to let him know as soon as possible.

Other than that, from Ray's mouth on this one... I wanted to make sure I talked to Dusker from a standpoint as an adventurer.

Reports from knights become reports only from a knight's point of view.

That doesn't mean that my position as an adventurer would be ignored...... but I still needed to be firm about the story from an adventurer's point of view.

That would be important, especially given that adventurers also need to provide escorts for the

"Yes, I've told the guild about Cerberus, but now he says it's hard to match the number of adventurers in the guild who have the strength to compete against Rank B monsters"

"I guess. Gilm now has a ton of work and even a situation where there aren't enough people"

The movement of monsters is also enlivened by the fact that it is spring.

In addition to the additional construction work in the Guild, the crusade of such monsters will also be important.

And naturally, the monsters that come out around the guilds vary.

Weak comes from Goblin, and if you're strong, that's Cerberus Ray fought for, otherwise it's Cyclops, or Oak King.

When it comes to crusading a monster like that, you need the right arm.

As an armed adventurer who has been in the Guild since the construction of the addition began, there is no reason to neglect your work either.

Even monsters rarely approach the streets from previous experience, but that was only rare, and in some cases the possibility of monsters coming to the streets could not be denied.

Given the circumstances around it, it's still difficult to turn an armed adventurer into a Trent forest escort.

Most importantly, if you don't turn the escort around because it's difficult, it's true that damage will be done to them and they won't be able to harvest the trees.

If that happens, the construction work will suddenly stop... or the construction period will surely grow.

If the construction period grows, naturally I'm not happy as a dusker, and one unnecessary gold comes out after another, which would otherwise be unnecessary.

Only this large scale of construction makes the amount consumed a tremendous amount just because the construction period has grown a day.

As Lords of the Guild, Dusker would naturally want to avoid such imitation whenever possible.

"How about calling more people or something?

"If you can or can't do that, the question in this case is where to put the new arrivals to sleep."

To that word, Ray recalls a story about the lack of accommodation.

It's not enough for the inn that we do as a store, it's a situation that usually lets people stay in private houses.

If the number of people increases further here, naturally the question arises as to where they will sleep.

And, in that, I remember what happened to Fujiray in the winter.

"How was the mansion used by the Kings' hands in the winter? There were quite a few big mansions there, so I think we could get them to sleep there."

"... for once, I haven't fully investigated that matter yet, so I don't really want to let people in... do I have a choice? Nevertheless, if you think about the number of people you want, there's not enough people to stay in the mansion, is there? You'll need something else."

"If there's an empty house or something, can't you temporarily use it as an inn or something?

"There's nothing I can't do, but I have an empty house like that, so I need to negotiate with you. Except for the fact that he was obviously committing a crime, like that mansion."

"I'm not sure about the process around here, so I'll take care of it. However, there's also the Whisp thing, so I'm pretty sure we're going to be busy with a lot of things, and shouldn't we make a place where we can stay the people who still come?

To Ray's words, Dusker exhales deeply and deeply as he sips tea.

I know that for Dusker.

But even in the present situation, I've been working almost all day.

More work in that is only suicidal.

As for Dusker, it was honest that he wanted to take it as his next job there after he could clean up the job and have some leeway, as a little bit.

Nevertheless, as Ray said, we need more people to make room for work, and we need a place for those people to sleep in order to have it… and it's almost like a negative spiral and change our mood.

"Right. I still entrust my job to the people below whenever possible. Will you try harder over there?"

All I had to do was give Dasker's word that all Ray could do was say good luck and give him something wrapped in Cerberus meat to get some refinement.

"I was wondering if Master Dusker would be satisfied because it's meat from the Rank B monster for now. Good luck eating this dish made of Cerberus meat. If the cook Dasker hires, he'll be able to cook well."

I know that the cook who works in the Lords' Hall has a good arm because Ray also ate food here many times.

Then Cerberus' meat would have cooked for Dusker's mouth.

... or as much as you wanted to tell me how to cook Cerberus meat if you could.

Ray is new to eating Cerberus meat, so I don't know what kind of dish it would go with.

As good as eating it like grilled meat or skewered meat.

Meat is a dish that by its very nature is suitable and unsuitable.

Meat suitable for simmering, meat suitable for baking or sautéing, meat suitable for steaming, and various other cooking methods make the meat taste very different.

Of course, that's not just to say that it's suitable, and that you shouldn't cook outside of that method of cooking.

If you are actually a good cook in terms of skill… and how much meat you put on fire, you can overcome the difference in the nature of the meat.

It was only about which meat was suitable for which cooking method for the average person, for whom cooking was not meant to be a full-time job.

(Oh, but can Marina do something about it? He's the culinary arm of a real face loser.)

Nature and its culinary arms were polished just for the marinas who lived for a long time.

It's also the marina that actually cooks when Ray stays at the marina's.

Given the circumstances around it, I think that Cerberus meat shouldn't eat everything today at the birthday tower, but rather leave it somewhat behind and have the marina cook some sort of dish at a later date.

"Well, is it the meat of a Rank B monster? Looks like you can count on that."

If you are a Dusker, Lord of the Guild, you will have the opportunity to eat as much fine meat as you want.

But when it comes to the meat of a high-ranking monster, the story is different.

In the first place, it is also significant that we cannot find high ranking monsters.

In that sense, the Cerberus meat Ray has is quite rare for Dusker.

... to a considerable extent, that would be because Dusker is lord in the gilm of the border.

Having received the meat, Dusker immediately calls his men to let them deliver the meat to the kitchen and tells them to use Cerberus meat for dinner today.

Later, Ray left the office after dating a public tale with enough of Dusker's mood swings.

That's how I was walking down the hall...... that's when I gaze at one guy walking from across the street.

He must be one of the servants working in the Lords' Hall.

But Ray was only a little impressed when he saw the man because he knew from a little physical movement that he had a lot of strength, despite the fact that he was not required to use force as a servant.

(If you think this is the Lords' Hall, isn't it strange that some of the servants have some arm? Gilm's lord is obviously envious of people and would be jealous)

The only periphery of the kingdom of Mireana, the Guild.

If you are also its lord, you can get huge sums of money on a regular basis.

That's why they can imitate things like leading neutrals.

Of course, people don't follow you just because you have money. I need to be superior in character.

Either way, Ray can understand that it's not uncommon for assassins to be sent for Dusker, and it wouldn't be strange to have as much as to send in spies, even if it's not so direct an action.

If so, it is not surprising that there are not only those who have the strength to look at and see like knights, but also those who do not know their strength from seeing it alone.

(Miyagi crowd, was it? like I saw in a comic book or something)

The servant earlier said he was probably a part of it... walking down the aisle thinking so, now the knight walks in from before.

I'm in a hurry. Based on that, something must have gone wrong.

Nevertheless, I'm not going to let Ray help me out of myself even though he hasn't asked me to.

Because now that the matter of Whisp was revealed, I wanted to be as close to the tower of birth as I could be.

Join Seto, who was playing in the garden, and leave the Lords' Hall.

... I was just out, eating and hanging by a knight with a merchant and a thinker as a gatekeeper.

"Why not! As much as I say hello to the lord, isn't that good? The man above told me to come and see my lord!

"That being said, if it was last year, I'd still be busy with Dusker this year and basically refuse to see a merchant. If the story spread that someone met with a single merchant, that would be me, too, with a lot of merchants, wouldn't it?

Ray is so convinced by the words of the knight who is dealing with the merchant.

If you try to be a merchant, your meeting with Dusker can be a powerful weapon in dealing with other merchants.

If such a person met Dusker, then naturally the other merchants would know the information, and they would certainly act that they wanted to meet Dusker as well.

That's why knights can't let merchants meet with Dusker no matter what they say.

(Good luck with that)

With that in mind, Ray glanced at the knight and tried to pass beside the merchant...

"Then why did this man come out of the Lords' Hall!

When I stop arguing with the knight - the merchant was just saying it unilaterally - I grab Ray's dragon robe and say so.

If I tried being a merchant, I guess Ray couldn't forgive me for coming out of the Lords' Hall with Seto, even though I couldn't manage to meet Dusker.

(There's Seto too, so he's going to know who I am.)

No one lives in Gilm and doesn't know that Ray has Seto...... but the vast majority still do.

And a lot of people also know, as a matter of course, that Ray is Dasker's katana.

In fact, I don't mean for Ray to have been like that, but it's true that he has a crush on someone named Dusker.

At least as much as I'd like to help you if Dusker is in trouble.

Either way, Ray turns a slightly frightened glance at a merchant man who shows that he has no idea who he is.

For a merchant, information is life.

More than that, coming to Gilm and not knowing about Ray is deadly.

Not to mention that now Ray's alias Deep Red is all over the kingdom of Mireana...... on the contrary, it extends to the Bestian Empire and the surrounding states of each country.

"You, you know whose robe you're grabbing?

Knight pointing his gaze at the merchant.

If you try to be a knight, Ray is in a position more like a Dusker guest now than you know him.

If you're going to do something to Ray like that, you have to stop him as a knight.

Pulling the merchant away from Ray...... near, unintentionally strong impact.

The coolness of the ground you feel on your cheeks, along with a few seconds of light floating.

Still, he turned to those who were blown away aggressively by his movements as a trained knight, and what he saw was... grabbing the arms of a merchant with a dagger, Ray's figure.
