Legend

"... assistant, huh?"

Ha, and.

With his sigh, Dusker turns his gaze to Ray and Anastasia, who are sitting on the couch in front of him enjoying tea and sandwiches.

It's time now, it's after 4 pm.

There is still time until dinner, but also when my little stomach is getting hungry.

So, as for Ray, I was very happy with the sandwich that Dusker had prepared for me.

Ray, greedy for eating, happily carries into his mouth the sandwich made for him by the cook at Dusker's house.

"Yeah. I can't get around to looking up whisps in that underground space by myself. Given the circumstances around here, I still need an assistant."

"But..."

"I know what Dusker wants to say."

Anastasia tells Dusker to block his words.

"Trusted researchers are not so easy to find. Ray told me what was going on around here."

To that word, Dusker turns his gaze to Ray.

Ray nods at Dusker as he savours a sandwich with a dish pinched with stir-fried venison and vegetables.

As it shows that you are the one who made the story of the area anastasia.

Anastasia continues her words as she watches such a ray with some grudge.

"It could be someone you can use from me, even if you can't seem to use it from Dusker."

"I mean...?

"Don't leave it to Dusker, it means I choose for myself. Not in the eyes of a lord, but as a researcher."

"But that's..."

Are you sure you're okay with this?

It was a dusker to tell you otherwise, but Anastasia nods naturally.

"You forgot one thing about Kelpy? You were right then, weren't you?

To Anastasia's words, Dusker becomes incapable of saying anything.

Ray, who was listening while eating his sandwich, naturally did not know about one of those kelpies and what he did.

Probably some kind of trouble that Dusker had when he worked as a knight, I would expect so.

And eventually Dusker reluctantly admitted Anastasia's words.

"Bye, Ray. I'm sorry to be around here. Because I'm going to find someone who's going to be able to use me as an assistant quickly."

It was Ray and Anastasia who finished reporting on the various events that had taken place today in the Lords' Hall - especially the possibility that monsters were out of the lake in places unknown to the Rays - but as soon as they left the Lords' Hall, Anastasia would say that to Ray.

You're right, I guess I'm going to be looking for someone I can use as an assistant right now.

Ray is surprised by Anastasia's ability to act… At the same time, he questions.

"I say look for someone who might be able to use you as an assistant, but how the hell are you going to look for them? You've just come to Gilm, haven't you? Then you don't know what kind of researchers there are, do you? Besides... Gilm's got a bunch of people here right now, and some of them are violent."

When Vihera is actually looking around the city, she mostly comes across some trouble, which reminds me of what she used to say.

Most importantly, in terms of trouble, it's easy to invite Vihella out of her appearance and outfit… it's a kind of trouble wheel.

Nevertheless, if we learn a little more about the circumstances of the Guild, we will naturally also learn more about Vihella, and we will no longer give a little bit of a detour.

But unlike such a vihella, Anastasia has just come to Gilm and has no name at all.

And if the appearance is what you deserve to call an intellectual beauty, if Anastasia were acting alone, she would undoubtedly be in trouble, yes, Ray expected.... No, I even remembered I was half sure.

So I wonder if I can let Anastasia go alone like this.

But in contrast to such a ray, Anastasia even smiles and opens her mouth when she has no problem.

"You know what, Ray? I seem to have forgotten, but I'm an elf too. I know Ray...... could have been a marina. You don't have to be that person to use spiritual magic."

"... if I could use spiritual magic as much as a marina, that would seem tremendous."

In fact, from Ray's eyes, the spiritual magic used by the marina is only capable of being close to omnipotent.

Given that, I just think, 'That's right', even if Anastasia is told she can't use spiritual magic just like Marina.

"Really? Anyway, you don't have to worry about me. Besides, Ray's got something to do, right?

"Oh. I left the Trent Forest tree for today, so I'm just going to the guild later. It's not like you're in a hurry."

The guild will look into horses made of grass that fought in the Trent Forest.

To be precise, I was wondering if you could buy the grass that made up the horse's body as some kind of material, to make that kind of question a guild.

Ray is almost certain, but if the horse made of that grass is really the one who came out of the lake, it could mean that the grass that made up its body was also the first grass found.

Nevertheless, since there are still many parts of this world that are unknown, it is not particularly unusual to do so.

"Isn't it? If you still have something to do, we'll be fine. Leave it to me."

With that said, Anastasia walks away from Ray's front.

That figure, which also walks lightly in the footsteps, even seemed to Ray that way, wondering if he could find a new encounter or something in this guild of Ning Lo.

"Gru?"

What's Seto gonna do next to Ray? and he turns his gaze as he rattles his throat.

I was just a little lost in Seto's gaze like that Ray, but if Anastasia is saying it's all right that far, I decided it would be pointless to say anything and stroked Seto's head.

"I'm telling you Anastasia's okay, and it's no use what I say here. Are we going to the guild as planned?"

"Gru!"

Heard he was going to the guild, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

For Seto, guild is a place where everyone can play while they wait for Ray, and even get a lot of food.

In that sense, Seto loved the guild.

Let's go, throat-beating Ceto.

To such a partner's appearance, Ray waves gently at the gatekeeper's knight before heading with Seto to the guild.

Sometimes it's too early to call it evening, and there aren't that many people in the city.

Still, the streets were quite busy shopping for dinner, and those who finished their work a little early were trying to roll out to the tavern quickly.

There are still small children who do their job well.

"Um, you're about to have a hard time. … it's always the same to be busy."

"Gru?"

What's wrong with Ray's whining? And it was Ceto, who was going to turn his gaze, but Ray shook his neck sideways saying it was nothing to it... and accidentally sharpened his gaze.

"You're such a lousy tail."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

As I agree, a throat-beating ceto.

There's no way that a five-sensed, sharper ceto than Ray naturally wouldn't notice that, beyond what Ray is aware of.

When I got out of the Lords' Hall and there was a lot of walkers for a while, there was an opponent following Ray and Seto.

Nevertheless, it's not really unusual for Ray or Seto to be tailed.

Sometimes such information about Ray can be sold more expensively than Ray is famous for in the Guild, naturally.

Or it could lead to some kind of unexpected money making if you're after Ray.

Sometimes people who think like that show up and tail... they usually have a lot of difficulty tailing because they go to places like a marina mansion in an aristocratic neighborhood, a wheat pavilion at dusk in a luxury inn, or outside a gilm.

That's why Ray didn't really care who he usually tails either... if the person he's tailing is hostile, the story is different.

(Well, what do we do?... you want to capture him and interrogate him for what reason he was tailing him? No, but if they just accidentally told me I was going in the same direction as myself, there's nothing I can do about it.)

I can't even be a killer, but I still can't leave you like this any longer than I am hostile.

If you moved with the person you were following, you could have annoyed the people around you.

"Before you go to the guild, do you want to take a little stall tour?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Seto also knows that this Ray word is about dealing with those who are following him.

But still, it was a pleasure to explore the new stalls.

A stall can basically be served by anyone if you apply.

Many people stall for a variety of reasons, such as those who earn a living in a stall, those who stall out of a hobby, those who stall out of a mood change...

Therefore, it was in a state to be said even for a time.

Because there is no guarantee that the stalls I was doing on that day will always be after the next day.

That's why Seto was happy to explore new stalls.

Ray realizes how Ceto looks like, puts his hand on Ceto's head and scratches him gently.

Was it pleasant to feel the dust scratching his head, Seto sounded his throat gladly...... one and one, head for the alley.

Although not as good as the front street, there are also stall types in the alley.

It would be natural for those who did not open a stall there to go somewhere like an alley, beyond the limited number of places called Front Street.

Ray and Seto stop by some of those stalls and buy the recommendations of their respective shopkeepers.

That's so delicious, though! There is no such thing as cooking.

A little unusual is that there is bread baked using fruit juice similar to Micah's, sweet...... as sweet and sour bread, about bought some extra.

Nevertheless, bread that uses so much fruit juice naturally becomes quite expensive.

If it was on the front street, it still wouldn't have seemed like Ray could sell much, even if he sold it in a place like an alley, and it actually sold out quite a bit.

Also, although it was rare, it wasn't as excellent as it could be said, which would be one reason Ray didn't want to buy so much.

Is it time for Ray, who was baking river fish, then solving it, eating a sandwich soothed with sauce and furnished, and walking to the one without or without people? Think...... I heard footsteps running from behind at exactly that time.

Ray turned around and saw a young man running towards himself with a dagger in his hand.

... Though he was an older enough opponent from a mid-teen Ray.

I have a dagger, but from the way it runs, it doesn't seem like I have the heart to fight, not very much.

Or even if there were, that would be to a little bit of a degree.

Less, not enough to be Ray's enemy.

(No, well, I had predictions based on the naivety of the tail)

The way weapons are set up is also like what Yakuza would do in a so-called movie: 'Life, I wish I took it!' It's like shouting at enemies from body to body, such a setup.

As for the use of a dagger, it's never right.

Not to mention, if physical abilities, like Ray's, were to strike an opponent above himself obviously, the act would be avoided lightly...

"Oops."

Make a foot payment while avoiding a man's attack.

Move the man in the air who is about to fall as-is, so that he doesn't fall down on depression.

Because if you fell down on a depression, you were likely to stab yourself in the stomach with a dagger that a man had.

For Ray, he doesn't need to worry about the lives of such people any more than he is the person who has been after his own life.

But in order to ask why you've been after your own life, you don't have to let them die.

... In Ray's case, there are a number of circumstances that people resent.

That's why I needed to make sure that for what reason I had attacked myself.

Once you know the circumstances, it's easy to figure out how to deal with them afterwards.

or was there an unacceptable circumstance, or out of private personal desire, or for other reasons?

I don't know the area without asking directly.

"Well, for what reason the hell have you attacked me?

"Ugh... ah..."

There was nothing like fainting, but still, a man slapped from his back on the ground can't pronounce words immediately with that shock.

With that in mind, Ray watched the man and waited until he could speak.
