Legend

When the Rays arrive at the Lords' Hall... no, as soon as the gatekeeper sees them approaching, the arrival is immediately informed inside.

If the Rays came, they would have contacted us in advance to let us know... no matter what.

Naturally, Ray, who was on his way to the Lords' Hall, can see exactly how those gatekeepers are doing.

Though, I knew Dusker was worried about Anastasia, so it wasn't even that surprising.

When they arrived in front of the gate, the Rays were told to enter the Lords' Hall immediately without being stopped by the gatekeepers...

"Hey, what am I supposed to do with this deer?

Try being the gatekeepers, horses can usually take you to the stables, and Seto can pass you to the courtyard as usual.

But when the opponent became a deer... even less, the horns growing from the two deer were too splendid to be put in the stables of the horse because of the size problems.

If so, it was best to ask Anastasia and Fana on those two heads what they should do.

"Right. If you can't get into the stables, take me to the same courtyard as Seto."

If it were the beginning of meeting Seto, the two deer would have absolutely refused to go to the courtyard with Seto.

But sometimes it's been quite a while since I've encountered Seto, and now my two deer are less afraid than they need to be.

... Of course, you still want to get away from Seto at all, and things like Seto and his two deer hanging out in the courtyard didn't happen first though.

Still, I'm afraid of Seto's existence… it's true that in some cases I stopped imitating things like running away from Seto just to get away from it.

Also, these two deer aren't monsters, they're only normal animals, but they're very smart.

I can understand the words of Anastasia and Fana well, so if those two tell me to go to the courtyard with Seto, I will obey them very much.

"Smart, nice..."

Not a monster, just one of the gatekeepers whines when he sees two deer of animals honestly listening to the Anastasias.

If this is a monster, that's not strange to know human language as well as Ceto, but two deer are just animals.

... I'm pretty sure it's an animal, but I guess it was a subtle place to recognize the animals of the world where Centaur was.

Either way, when one of the two deer cases is solved, the Rays are immediately put through the Lords' Hall.

He was slightly suspicious of the fana wearing the mask, but he was determined that if Ray was there, he would have no particular problem.

Until now, Ray has received numerous requests from Dusker.

Thanks to this, Ray was recognized as a trustworthy opponent by Dusker and his men.

That's how, as usual, a maid leads you to the Dusker's office...

"Oh, safe..."

Dusker, who was looking through a pile of paperwork on the desk, sees Anastasia entering the room and squeals so.

Dusker looking extremely impressed.

(Can't you do it?)

Looking at a dusker like that, Ray thinks so.

Anastasia is a benefactor who was taken care of when Dusker was knighting in the king's capital.

The fact that the benefactor went missing in another world would have been quite a shock.

That's why I asked Ray, a trusted adventurer, to search.

But...... still, so is Elgin but the world is wide.

I didn't think it would be that easy to find, and Ray stayed in the other world for quite some time because he was acting as a reconnaissance team to find Dragonias' home in Ray.

I trust Ray's strengths from previous experience to the point where there is no more, but if he still doesn't come back for this long, maybe I misjudged him.

If such thoughts did not cross Dusker's mind, it would be a lie.

Ray brought Anastasia and Fana back in that situation, so I was surprised and couldn't be happier.

"Sounds like you made me worry. But as you can see, you're safe.... Without Ray, I don't know what was going on."

In the other world, I was in the midst of being attacked by Dragonias when Anastasia and Fana were found by Ray.

If it weren't for Ray, maybe he could have been eaten and killed by Dragonias, and most importantly, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Dragonias queen or the intelligent Dragonias, starting with the dragonias of the seven colored scales.

In that sense, Anastasia's words about not knowing what would have happened without Ray are never wrong.

However, it is also an undeniable fact that Ray would have been able to look around the other world more if he hadn't picked him up.

But Dusker, who doesn't know Anastasia is thinking that, happily opens his mouth to Ray, among the faces he has entered with Anastasia.

"Right. Looks like you were right to ask Ray for it after all. Does this require you to play the reward"

"Huh? No, I've already been paid."

To Dusker's words, Ray tells him that as bewildered.

I'm getting a bag of jewelry for Anastasia.

I used some of the gems, but the majority are still stored in Ray's mysteries.

That's just selling that leather bag of jewellery, 10 years for the average household...... in some cases for decades, maybe enough to not have trouble eating it for the rest of my life.

I didn't mean for Ray to get paid any more because he was getting paid like that.

"I don't mind. Because Anastasia was such an important opponent.... I didn't think I'd imitate going from myself into the unknown."

Anastasia softly turns away from Dusker, who tells him so.

Anastasia also probably understands how annoying she is with Dusker.

Though perhaps it is Anastasia who is driven by curiosity even after understanding it.

"Anyway, that's all the work Ray's done this time means. If we had Anastasia, we'd be working on Whisp.... Also, if we don't go into the other world, we're talking about"

To Dusker, who says so, Anastasia deflects her gaze again.

Ray thinks a little as he sees the two of them like that.

What the hell am I supposed to do with the reward?

(After all, the first candidate is a magic item. Magic tent, Dusker's got some pretty good magic items.)

Nevertheless, I can't say that as Ray I want something of a rank like a magic tent just for this one time, more than I know how expensive the magic items are.

(When that happens, is it a spear-based magic item after all? But with a spear of dusk, you can't use a regular spear. For example, something else......)

That's how I was thinking, Ray, but accidentally I come up with one existence.

Such a substitute that it is quite expensive and Ray is not so easily available.

Also, one of Ray's trump cards is Fire Whirlwind, a more powerful presence.

"Flame ore, can I have it? a good amount if you can."

Yes, Ray came up with flame ore.

When you put flame ore in a fire whirlwind, its power increases to vicious.

In his battle with the Queen of Dragonias, he has obtained glass in which the power of the Spirit of Fire is sealed as a spoils of war.

Reminds me of that... I imagined a flame attack from there, and as Ray, I wanted it.

Heard of flame ore, Dusker gives a slightly surprising look.

Most of the product was meant to be given to Ray, but it would have been unexpected for Dusker that the name Flame Ore would come up here.

Also, flame ore is one of the magic metals and is definitely a fairly rare item.

Think so...... Eventually, Dusker nods and teases open his mouth.

"Okay. So, three barrels...... no, five is fine?

Dusker was surprised by the word he wanted flame ore, but now it was Ray's turn to be surprised.

I didn't expect to get five barrels of flame ore.

"That's... no, I'm glad, is that good?

Previously, when he fought alongside other adventurers in response to Harpy's crusade request, by chance Ray succeeded in producing flame ore.

But from what I heard at that time, I had no idea I could get that many flame ores.

In response to such Ray's question, Dusker grins and nods.

"I don't mind. Actually, while Ray was gone, an adventurer discovered the flame ore vein. I bought it, so I can afford a lot of flame ore"

"That's what happened?... No Well, given Gilm's location, I don't think it would be strange if that happened"

Gilm exists only on the border of the Kingdom of Mireana.

And in a place called the border, that's not surprising no matter what happens.

In that sense, I can say that Gilm has a very great potential.

(Naturally, while I was going to the other world... no, the other adventurers were active while I was helping with the additions. Wouldn't it be so surprising to find a flame ore? And because of that, I get five barrels of flame ore.)

If you try to ray it, you find the flame ore mineral vein… it was a very thankful story that you sold it to Dusker instead of singling it out.

"Right. I've also been Lord of the Guild before, but this land sometimes gives me things I never thought of. … but it's not all in our interest not to think about it."

to Dusker's words, Ray is convinced,

Ever since Ray came to this world and started working in the Guild, he's been in all sorts of trouble.

With that in mind, I could immediately understand what Dusker was trying to say.

"Right. … oh, about that, but it looks like we got another new gift in the Trent Forest"

"... a gift?

Dusker gives a subtle look to the word gift.

Ray is convinced that he doesn't know about the fairy after seeing how Dusker looks like that.

In fact, even the twins and adventurers we met in the Trent Forest understood that what was happening to them was strange, but they didn't think it was a prank by the fairies.

The Rays noticed that simply because they saw the fairy with their own eyes.

"Do you remember the fairies that I and Theorem and Elk encountered in the Seremouth Plains before when there was a martial arts tournament in the Bestian Empire?

"I remember that... but wait, that means we're going to talk like that here..."

You understood what Ray wanted to say, even if he didn't say it to the end.

Dusker opens his mouth with a surprised look.

"In the forest of Trent...... a fairy?

"Yes. I just got out of the underground space where Whisp is, and I stumbled upon it. I didn't find it in the herd, though, it was just one."

Ray, who still doesn't know how to count a fairy, describes it as a horse for now.

Dusker has no particular way of saying anything about how Ray looks like that.

That must have been a huge shock to Dusker that a fairy appeared in the Trent Forest.

"Recently I've heard stories of boring failures among those in the Trent Forest..."

"Maybe it was the fairy who did it. On my way out of the Trento Forest, I felt like I had heard from an adventurer or an adventurer."

Things like the contents of a long sword sheath being replaced...... can't be considered as adventurers.

If you ask me if it's ever possible, I could never deny the possibility of that happening, but it's still impossible if I think about it normally.

"Right.... It was a story that Ray saw only one, but how specific do you think he is?

"Even if they say so, it's the second time since the Seremus Plains that I've been a fairy, too, right? I'm not familiar with fairies..."

"Still. It's just intuition. How many fairies do you think there are?

That's what he asks. Heading to Dusker, Ray opens his mouth with a little thought.

"I don't have any proof, it's really my instinct... I think there's quite a few of them"

Yes, I told you.
