Legend
2,490 words.
Ray returns to Gilm, walking with proper buying and eating in the stalls... in the middle of which Fu Ray realizes that the situation is dangerous right now.
Ray was currently on his way to a place where the alchemists were working on the magic treatment of the felled trees, but if he took Nielsen to such a place, Nielsen would certainly be interested.
And if you get interested, you could jump out of a dragon robe.
If that happens, naturally, the alchemists will also notice the presence of Nielsen, which is why the whole Gilm will know about the fairy.
If you try it on Ray, there's nothing you can do if that happens.
(What do we do? I don't have a choice not to carry wood... oh, nothing. Don't you need me to join in on Master Dusker and Nielsen's story)
It was a little troubled Ray, but I can quickly come up with a solution.
In the first place, Ray would only be an adventurer, even if he had an alias.
There is no reason why we should participate in the negotiations between Dusker and Nielsen.
When it comes to bringing Nielsen out of the Trent Forest, it's not surprising that Ray's help is needed, knowing the circumstances.
"Hey, Ray. What's the matter with you? I'm starting to smell something fragrant."
"... don't say too much about it. With Elaine and the others, we can hide Nielsen or something, but I don't know if we can hide it when it's just me and Seto."
To Ray's words, Nielsen grows up.
Until yesterday, I would have definitely told you to do something in this situation as well.
That suddenly changed what I said, too, would still be due to the Anterm thing last night.
Nielsen never saw first-hand the sight of Anterm threatening the other fairies, but he sees the total annihilation of a flock of wolves who were in a friendly relationship with the fairies.
I guess it's because I know the circumstances halfway through like that that that makes me feel extra scared.
With the silent Nielsen intact, the fragrant scent is drifting from nearby...... buy a few skewers from a stall selling skewers.
However, instead of eating that skewer right here, store it in the misting as it is.
"Well, let's go see Master Dusker before this skewer cools down."
There's nothing more like cooling than storing freshly baked food in mysteries.
But Ray still said that because he wanted to say that he could feed Nielsen that skewer if he went to the Lords' Hall.
"Gru."
"Right. I thought Ceto had a skewer too... but if you think about it, Ceto goes to the Lords' Hall, that's what cooks get you all sorts of dishes, right?
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr, grrrrrrr"
Seto rattles his throat to protest Ray's words.
It's true that if you go to the Lords' Hall, the cook will cook for you.
That's what makes that skill so much more than being a cook employed in the Lords' Hall.
I would be able to cook a delicious dish that is not comparable to the skewers Ray bought.
But I'd rather eat with Ray than just myself, no matter how delicious the dish is, if you try Ceto.
That is why Seto would choose the latter without a moment's hesitation, if he were told which one would choose to eat delicious dishes on his own or with Ray, which would be less flavorful but quite delicious than that.
You notice how Ceto is like that, Ray strokes his head saying it was bad.
"Right. Why don't you leave me and Seto's skewers and eat them when you get home from the marina?"
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto rings his throat with joy.
If I tried Ceto, I would have been happy to have skewered with Ray on this.
... Now, I wasn't going to stop eating the dishes they served me in the courtyard of the Lords' Hall more than I mounted my promise here
"Well... I guess I should do the same."
"What? Is Nielsen coming to the Marina's house too?
As for Ray, more than it was today yesterday, Nielsen just thought that after negotiations with Dusker, he was going back to his residence in the Trent Forest.
But given Nielsen's current words, it just seems like he's saying that's what's coming with him.
"Of course."
"... it's the marina's house, right?
"And naturally."
Are you still uncomfortable, Nielsen, with a little hesitation, still affirms so when he comes to the marina's house.
Why did you do that? And Ray never thought either, but if you try Nielsen, a place called Gilm is very interesting.
More than that, the option of missing the time to enjoy it does not exist.
I've looked around in the guilds a few more times, but the guilds, albeit the city, had what was originally also called a quasi-city.
There's no way I can look around all of those places in a few times.
"Besides, I've been told for a long time to take a good look at people's lives, so this isn't just my pleasure anymore, it's a fine mission."
"... I see"
If you say so, I can't argue with you as Ray either.
Did you really take such an order from a long time? I have questions like that, but I just have to believe Nielsen's words more than Ray can meet the fairy head in person.
Besides, it's possible that I felt something different about the existence of a human being in one of the antelms.
"Okay. If that's okay with you, I don't mind. Just tell the marina Nielsen is staying directly today."
"Ugh... well, can you tell me from Ray?
I guess I still don't like marinas for Nielsen.
Still around saying you want to stay at home, that's all you want to look around the gilm or something?
"Oh, yeah. Then why don't you stay at the Lords' Hall, not at the Marina's? Wouldn't it be easier not to make a lot of hassles when negotiating with Master Dusker?
"Um, but that's the only thing you know about me, Dasker, so you're not free to walk, are you?
"Maybe if you ask me. Well, I don't suppose it's possible that Master Dusker will be around to see what's going on with Gilm."
That's what I said, Ray, but there's no way I can afford to look around Gilm to the Dusker right now, who spends most of his time working while awake like work, work, work, etc.
If Nielsen were to leave the city the way he likes it in such a situation, someone else but Dusker would have to act with him.
This meant that more people would know about fairies.
"No, you can't. And Ray's dragon robe at Dusker's house? You can't go in there."
After a little thought, Nielsen tells him so softly.
The Lords' Hall is cool and comfortable with magic items.
In this sense, there is no significant difference between a marina house and a lord's hall in comfort as a residence.
But when we go out, we talk differently.
Being free to use Ray's dragon robe and not being able to use it means a lot.
"Right.... then that's fine. Anyway, I'm gonna go see Master Dusker first."
That said, Ray was headed with Seto and Nielsen to the Lords' Hall with Dusker.
"Ray, you had a rough day yesterday"
In the office in the Lords' Hall, once Dusker stops working, he says so.
Despite one incident yesterday, Dusker doesn't look tired or sleepy.
In Ray's case, he slept pretty late, and because of that, there's no lack of sleep.
But that was done only in Ray's case.
In the case of Dusker, who is a lord, he won't be able to imitate things like sleeping like Ray, although not very much.
That's what accumulates a lot of work unprocessed if you imitate it like that.
I mean, Dusker must have definitely happened the way he always did.
(No, considering the time the marina came home, is it possible that she didn't sleep and stayed up all night?
I'm fine with that.
I think so Ray, but Ray also does fine all night if he actually needs it in the middle of the request again.
Still, I don't want to stay up all night.
Not sleeping is, naturally, a benefit to the person. Ningro, the disadvantages would be more overwhelming.
Nonetheless, it would be the biggest thing that Dusker is doing all night like this because he has to.
... to solve the problem that started with Ray and Anthelm, but it's the biggest one.
"Right, it was tough.... but didn't Master Dusker have a hard time yesterday, too?
"You can't deny that. But if you think it's going to be good for Gilm, it's not going to be that hard."
Dusker, who tells you that, doesn't seem like he's talking about strength.
If you really think that from the bottom of your mind, you do.
I mean, I guess that's all you love about this place called Gilm.
"Gilm needs Master Dusker, so please don't make it impossible. It's not convincing if I say so."
So was the case with this anterm, but for whatever reason, Ray has brought a lot of problems into the guild so far.
The vast majority of it is something I can't help, not that Ray is bad... but still, it's an unmistakable fact that I brought the problem in.
Nevertheless, it is not surprising that the issue has been of great benefit to the Guild.
Because Dusker knows that, too, and he doesn't say anything in particular about the matter.
That's how we had a little chat, and Ray opens his mouth.
"Dear Dusker, I'm going to give the felled trees to the alchemists, so can you negotiate with Nielsen in the meantime?
"Yeah? I don't mind that... but wouldn't you have had to imitate that if you'd stopped by before you got here?
"If the alchemists find Nielsen, it'll be a hassle."
When Ray says so, Dusker nods as he's convinced too.
Naturally, Dusker also knows how curious the alchemists are.
At the same time, I naturally knew that Ray wasn't the only one on guard, that it could be something like Nielsen's interest in the alchemist, not the alchemist's interest in Nielsen.
Speaking of which, I didn't tell you because there was also a possibility that Nielsen would claim to be going, too.
"Okay. Let's leave the negotiations with Nielsen to the moment, then. In the meantime, Ray needs to go over there."
"Thank you. … oh, please eat this at the time of negotiation"
That said, Ray takes out the skewers he bought at the stall on his way here, and then he also takes out a plate and puts it on top of it.
I don't know about eating skewers when negotiating, but because they are freshly baked, it was natural for me to want them before they cooled down.
It was a dusker that looked like he had some doubts about how Ray was doing like that, but for now I say thank you because it means caring.
"Sorry."
"No. Master Dusker must be tired, and good luck eating this skewer"
In fact, Ray can be involved in many of those tired parts, but whether Ray hasn't noticed it, or if he does, but he's through, there's no way he's going to look at it.
Neither is Dusker going to blame Ray for all the events.
In the first place, a series of incidents began with the summons of Lizardman and the Green Man.
It's an unmistakable fact that Ray is involved in that, but that's just because he's involved, and it's not because Ray actually did something that there was a commotion...
If so. Even as a dusker, I didn't mean to imitate things like blaming Ray.
Nevertheless... we can't keep Ray out of the office like this.
I didn't know when Ray was coming, but more than this, I needed to tell Ray what I had decided to do with the marina.
I thought maybe Marina was telling me about this, but as far as raw hatred and Ray are concerned, that's not how it goes.
I have decided that this one case is more than special in many ways, it is something I must say as Lord of the Guild...
"Ray, you're gonna take the Rank A Adventurer promotion exam."
Yes, I told you.
