Legend

With the decision to consider the promotion to Rank A positively for now, Ray left the Lords' Hall and was now on his way with Seto to where the Alchemists were.

In the Lords' Hall, negotiations would have taken place between Dusker and Nielsen by now.

In the meantime, it was necessary to give the alchemists the trees they had felled in the Trento Forest.

(Consider positively. I just wanted to say that, let me think carefully while I consider it in a positive direction if I could. If you really said that, you would definitely have been pissed off by Master Dusker)

Think that way, remembering politicians and officials when you were in Japan.

Most importantly, because of the fact that there has been a lot of crap going on in the area, no one has been so outspoken lately.

Either way, as Ray, I have to decide as soon as possible if I'm going to take the promotion exam to Rank A.

Although it was true that, as a result of various talks with Dusker, in Ray, I was inclined to take it.

In the first place, Dasker asked me to take the promotion exam immediately... No, he said that he would probably take on the hassle of becoming a Rank A Adventurer.

In such a situation, unless that is also a clear reason why you cannot take any promotion exams, you will not be able to refuse as Ray either.

(We also talked about interacting with nobles, and the deputies will do it... but then the problem is royalty, after all)

Noble opponents don't mind being agents, but if royalty is the opponent, it's likely not the only reason they're agents.

In the end, Ray needs to meet in person with royalty… in some cases, kings, princes, princesses, etc.

Nevertheless, as for Ray, the very fact that he meets the royalty doesn't make him that nervous.

Anyway, Ray's people have Vihera.

The Empress of the Bestian Empire, a great power with the same national territory and power as the Kingdom of Mireana.

Ex-empress, to be exact.

Because he has no intention of being already royal.

Ray is acting like that with Vihera... on the contrary, he lives with her.

With that in mind, meeting a royal of the same size as Vihera is not that nervous.

However, the problem would still be courtesy.

(If you are that way... what can you do if Vihella tells you? No, isn't it strange that in the Bestian Empire and the Kingdom of Mireana, etiquette or something is different? So, Elaine?

Elaine has been acting with Ray lately, but her parents are at the top of the list of titles: the Duke of Keller.

More than just the birth of the Duke of Keller, Elaine was supposed to know how to be polite.

If so, this would still be Elaine if she were to learn the courtesy she would need when meeting the royal family in person.

Let's ask Elaine about that area even tonight.

If you think so, you just arrive at the building where the alchemists are working.

"Here, you're in trouble. Nevertheless, there's no reason to slow down here, and should we do what we do and just go back to the Lords' Hall? … you can buy something appropriately in the stalls along the way"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

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

I guess that's what he thought, wanting to eat some delicious food at some stall.

"It's this heat, and I'd love to have some cold food and sweets if I could, but honestly, that would be difficult. I wish I had some cold fruit or something."

That's what I would have told you, Ray, but if there were a stall that would be selling cold fruit, that would have been quickly lost by many customers.

Also, Ray doesn't feel the heat, no matter how much summer it is, by the effect of the dragon robe, and Seto is more than a griffon.

At the end of Ray and Seto's gaze, there are a number of passers-by who show that it is also troublesome to walk by the heat, unlike those Rays.

(Can't you help the heat because it's summer?... would be better than Japan)

I thought so Ray, but the northeastern countryside...... as for Ray, who lived right on the side of the mountain, I've never felt that intense heat.

No, it's not like I don't know the heat of summer at all because there are still days in the summer that exceed the maximum temperature of 35 degrees.

There were also means such as swimming in the worst river if it was hot in Ray's case.

Unlike swimming pools, the influence of water flowing rarely results in things like cool rather than warm.

On the contrary, if you keep diving in the river for a long time, it can freeze in the cold.

"Speaking of which, the river that wasn't so far from the Guild, you haven't been there lately."

I have a river that I used many times before when dismantling monsters, but I recall that Ray hasn't been there for a while.

"Gru?"

"Right. Maybe next time we can make time to go play."

As I walk down the road in conversation with Seto, I eventually see fewer passers-by and a building with alchemists.

"Well, do you want to clean up now? Seto needs to wait around here. Don't look at me like that."

"Grrrrrrrr"

If Seto finds out he's here, the alchemists can only run wild.

Even if that happened, Ray was confident he could handle it.

There was, but I still didn't bother to do that any more than it was true that it was a hassle.

Do you know how Seto feels about Ray like that too, honestly nodding away from Ray?

Ray, who dropped off Seto, headed to the building as soon as he could to apologize...

"Yeah, no, come on! There are some rare materials, but you think that's why I'm going to give them to you!?

The alchemists look at Ray and wonder if he has any unusual materials.

To be honest, some of Ray's mysteries are massive.

That's the kind of material I want so much that I can get my hands out of my throat if I try it on the alchemists.

For example, the body of Dragonias.

The massively present, red-scaled dragonias corpse would undoubtedly be an unknown material, beyond being a otherworldly being.

(Oh, I'm starting to think that if it's any dragonias corpse, I could give it to you for about one. If it's tomorrow, I won't be able to use it.)

That's what I thought for a moment, Ray, but if you give me one body, I can still attack Ray for something else I would have.

Normally, no matter how many bunches the alchemists get, there's no way they can beat Ray, who says they should take a promotion exam to Rank A... and given the obsession of the alchemists, there's no reason why they might not.

If you're going to imitate that, that's what you should be dealing with appropriately, that's what you think...... eventually you open your mouth.

"Once the construction of the Gilm is completed, the number of people coming to the Gilm will increase. Then, naturally, there will be more people working around here, so there may be a greater variety of materials available than before."

To Ray's words, some of the alchemists who were around shine their eyes.

That's just a few, though.

If you try many, you don't expect more material that easily, even if the additions went as Ray said.

... In the first place, Ray says if the construction of the additions is finished, how much time does it take for the additions to be completed?

Even now, it's in its second year.

Nevertheless, the end of the additions is still not visible at all.

In other words, the majority of people who don't know when the construction work that Ray is talking about is done.

That's why the majority of the alchemists who were around Ray don't imitate what Ray would expect from such a word.

I don't suppose that's why I wouldn't expect anything from it if the construction was actually completed.

If we try to be alchemists, we should have a lot of places where we can secure a little bit of material.

But still, in the end, it wasn't the future that we needed in the present situation, rather than the person who currently brings the material….

"Anyway, I'm busy right now. I don't have time to deal with you."

Several alchemists glance at Ray's words telling them so.

If you're saying Ray's busy in this situation, maybe that's a sign that something's happened.

In fact, that word is never wrong.

Because it is true that there are many things, including fairies and other worlds.

But if you try Ray, now it's honest that you want to think more about the Rank A promotion exam than about things like fairies.

... With that said, it was likely that the alchemists would not be happy to let Ray go.

In any case, if you become a Rank A Adventurer, you will be able to receive requests that you have never received before, and you will likely be able to obtain unknown materials.

If so, that's very much appreciated by the alchemists.

It's no surprise that things like the alchemists are going to be in contention over the materials Ray is going to get.

As far as Ray is concerned, I don't want to do that, not very much.

(Anyway, I'd rather not say anything to these guys about rank A promotion as far as possible. Yeah, when that happens, you need to think about the worst case scenario.)

Judging by that, Ray pushes the alchemists forcefully to escape the scene.

Many alchemists went back to their jobs deciding that all they could do was piss them off any more about how Ray was doing like that.

They were alchemists who told Ray to hand over rare materials, but I still firmly understand the limitations.

If we imitated Ray so forcibly as to say no more in the present situation, that was the good chance that his fist would be wielded.

If that happens, it could be fatal for the alchemists as well.

Because we know that, we need eyes to see the limits.

... If you try it on Ray, you'd want to say that if you're going to imitate that, don't come together on yourself from the beginning.

"Phew. … for now, the role is over."

Ray, out of the building, growls so with fatigue.

I have experienced many times before in the exchange of alchemists.

But still, when I think of the alchemists, I can only be convinced that's what it is.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Finding Ray coming out of the building, Seto approached him with a delightful throat.

Ray strokes such a ceto, too, and hangs his words with joy.

"Well, then, as I was saying, do you want to look around the stall? I wish I could have more delicious food."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles his throat trying to get there fast.

If you try Ceto, it's more fun to go around the stall with Ray than to come here.

Above all, Ray was concerned about Seto showing tiredness when he came here.

Still, Ray couldn't stop coming here if he had to.

"Right, maybe I could buy another skewer. I left it at Master Dusker's, just for us to eat."

Skewers are a very common dish in guilds.

That's what many skewers sell in the stalls.

However, the flavour of skewers varies greatly depending on the store only because of the high number.

Eyes that discern the quality of the meat, how to treat, season, stab skewers under the meat, fire reduction when baking, and eyes that identify the state in which the meat is being baked.

Other than that, various elements are intertwined, and skewering is complete.

In this sense, if the store is different, the name of the dish called skewering is the same, but it actually tastes completely different.

Now, the food itself is not that difficult, so there are many stalls that sell skewers.

(Thinking about it, what do you care about skewering is a deep dish.... No, not just skewers, I guess anything is)

I keep walking in search of stalls selling delicious skewers with Seto... I'm going to buy skewers at several stores.

Some delicious skewers, some skewers like there.

Because it's an easy cooking method, it's probably also a skewer attraction around that failing to cook doesn't make it extremely unsavory.

... If it were someone who would challenge the unknown taste, it might have been something else.

That's how he ate and walked the skewer...... Eventually Ray decided without any context to challenge the Rank A Adventurer.
