"Thank you"

A slaver bows his head deep toward the Rays.

If you try to be a slave trader, you will naturally appreciate it because you were able to buy slaves at a low price.

Not to mention the demand for that slave, like letting him work in a mine or using it as a meat wall on the battlefield.

"You don't have to worry about it. This one sold at a higher price than I expected. And the treasure the bandits had was quite good. And I got five bags of flour as promised."

Few bandits that the Rays defeated were fatally injured.

But less is not nothing.

For example, the bandit Ray first attacked and blew at Death Size had broken ribs as expected, even if the fragment damaged his gut.

Potions were eventually to be used for such opponents.

However, it is not a trauma, so in order to heal the wound, it is necessary not to hang the potion, but to drink it, so the person who drank the potion was too delicious.

Either way, although I got some discount for using potions, the only purchase of slaves originally was criminal slaves, with zero purchase value.

I sold someone like that, so I don't have a problem with a somewhat discounted one.

Ray was also dissatisfied with the discount if it was too blatant, but the slave traders did not imitate it like that.

If I did, when I sold it to other slave traders, I would have thought so.

And that was also an unmistakable fact.

He also interrogated the bandits to confess his home base, and the treasure there was enough money for Ray to be quite satisfied, and there were quite a few weapons and protective gear, so it would be not a bad income for Ray.

As a result, he confiscated the treasures of the bandits, ending a deal that was unsatisfactory to both sides... and Ray was outside the city being dropped off face-to-face by slavers, guards, residents, etc.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto, with Ray on his back, runs up the sky with wings winged with a few steps of help.

Those left on the spot turn a strange gaze at Vihera, who for some reason was left in Seto.

What the hell are you going to do with that gaze?

But Seto, who was flying in the sky, descended toward the ground before anyone opened their mouth wondering how that was...

"Well, around here,"

Vihera leaps when told briefly, dropping altitude and grabbing onto Seto's forefoot, which was flying.

Seto goes up altitude again without anything like Vihella grabbing it on his feet or losing balance.

"An adventurer is amazing."

Someone who was dropping it off muttered about it, but the adventurer who was nearby insisted that we not be together desperately.

"So, Ray. What are you gonna do? You got the potion you wanted, and it's time to go back to the guild?

"Right. I would have liked to have seen a lot of other things if I could. Magic items were not particularly good."

I went around several stores to buy potions, but none of the magic items that were placed there were anything I would want Ray to do.

There were some magic items that were a little interesting, but I didn't bother buying them myself.

I went outside the corner guild more than just such a magic item, so I wanted some magic items if I could.

"But there's not a lot of magic items Ray would want, is there? That's not the city, it's the neighborhood guilds... or the place where so many people like Wangdu come together."

If you say so, Ray can't say any more impotent either.

In the first place, the purpose of this journey - although it's going to be a day trip - is only to buy potions.

Because it served its biggest purpose, if you imitate it to stop anywhere else any longer, that could be why you won't be able to make it to the promotion exam.

It's not like there's a magic item I want, especially, so I decided I'd rather go back to Guild than go out of my way to another city, and Ray opens his mouth to Vihera, who can hear me from below.

"Right, then, back to the guild. If you go to Gilm, you'll have a lot more to do. Besides, Vihella has a job to do."

"Oh, you worry about me?

It seemed like a happy vihella, but I don't know if I'd be happy with my own words if I tried it on Ray, or if it's funny that I could go to Trent Forest with Büne or Nielsen.

As far as Ray is concerned, both of them seem to be Vihella.

"That's for sure.... Seto, we're on our way to Gilm. We just have to go back the way we came, okay?

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto sounded his throat joyfully and let his wings flap.

"... there you go, wow"

Where I can see Gilm, Vihella squeaks with fatigue.

Ray opened his mouth just a little sorry to see what such a vihella looked like.

"Right. We arrived safely."

"... the promotion exam is tomorrow though"

To the resentful whining voice of Vihera, Ray softly strays his gaze as he learns that Vihera is grabbing onto Seto's forefoot.

I refilled the potion, three days after I tried to get back to the guild.

I went to buy a potion the next day when I was told that I would be taking my promotion exam in the Devil's Forest in five days, so today is the fourth day since I met a worker at the guild.

I mean, the promotion exam starts tomorrow.

"Uh... yeah. Look, I made it in time, and there were all sorts of bandits who were attacking the village, the troops of the beasts who were after it, the enemies of the elves, and everything, but they arrived safely, okay?

That's all a case involving the Rays over the last three days.

I would have bought the potion and then headed straight back to Guild, but while I was helping a merchant being attacked by bandits along the way, the next thing I knew, trouble hit me.

That's a bunch of such trouble that I think if it were a book, it would be for a few books in the last three days alone.

Still, the Rays forced the trouble... and when they cleaned it up, they arrived safely at Gilm.

"I knew it was easy for Ray to get caught up in every rub, but that was more than I expected."

Vihera squeaks and squeaks.

As a conscious ray of troublemakers, I can't argue with such Vihera's words.

... Now I wish I could have gotten even special magic items as a result of all the trouble, but the only thing that has increased is the potion.

(No, did you also increase the treasures you took from the bandits)

As a result of several encounters with bandits, the treasures obtained are considerable.

In that sense, the last three days were never meaningless... but still, the promotion exam, that's not something to do when the promotion exam to Rank A is imminent in a few days.

(No, it's fine because even one less person has been tormented by bandits to keep things about themselves. I worked hard too, yeah, I worked hard)

Think about it half as if you were forced to tell yourself.

"So, shall we head to Gilm for now? Elaine and the others will be worried."

For once, Ray is using a pair of orbs with Elaine to have a conversation at night.

But still, if I tried Elaine and the others, it was only natural that I would want to see Ray in person.

Above all, tomorrow is the day of the promotion exam.

Elaine and Marina have told me over and over yesterday to make sure I don't come back late for that.

Being able to live up to that promise properly was satisfactory enough for Ray as well.

"Bye, Seto. Don't ask me."

"Gru!"

Seto rang his throat when he understood Ray's words and proceeded toward Gilm.

That's how it always is...... no, I'm working on the additions, so I can see the queues lining up to get inside more than usual, and Seto descends toward the ground.

In the meantime, the people lined up in front of the guilds eventually notice the presence of Seto descending to the earth, and the blurring occurs.

Nevertheless, it is usual for some to be surprised to see Seto.

It descends as it is near the ground, and first Vihella, who is grasping at Seto's forefoot, releases her hand and lands on the ground.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

All those who watched applaud the act, which was carried out so smoothly, with a voice of surprise.

It was praised so far, partly because it was a brilliant landing, but the fact that the clothes Vihella was wearing were thin made her look like a kind of celestial being.

In fact, because that appearance was something that looked like a kind of work of art.

Seto comes down this time while Vihera is taking a round of applause.

Those who see the presence of Seto for the first time are astonished, but if you try to be those who have come to the Guild several times before, many have seen Seto before.

Still, there were still many who were surprised, probably because in Gilm, unlike Seto, who was walking on the ground, here he was flying in the sky.

If you're walking on the ground, it's still powerful when beings like Seto fly through the sky.

"Seto!? Neither has Ray, I haven't seen him in the last few days, but where have you been? Besides, it's the first face I've ever seen of a beauty like that."

Among those who were lined up, those who knew Ray's face returned to me and asked with a surprised look on their face.

So around asking about Vihera while you're at it, I guess that means the person you're asking is also a man.

Even if I know about Ray, I don't know about Vihera.

Or maybe I've seen about your face, but I don't know your name.

To such an opponent, Ray wondered how to return the words... that's how the guards approached him before Ray opened his mouth.

"Ray! It's late! Where have you been!?

"Even if they say so, it's a little..."

Ray's hobby bandit hunt.

That's what Vihella tells you, as she interrupts Ray's words.

Ray pointing a questionable gaze at such a vihella.

In fact, it is true that we did a bandit hunt this time.

But the biggest purpose was to buy potions, so why?

Vihera glances at Ray, who turns such a gaze, to keep her mouth shut.

Stop saying the potion is thin here. and.

What happens if Ray here tells Gilm he has less potion.

Of course, among those listening to Ray, the merchants will buy a lot of potion the next time they come to the Guild.

That's not a bad thing. No, but the merchants, who had already gathered their own information and determined that the potion was missing, should have bought the potion.

That's how you know you don't have enough potion against the merchants who know you don't have that strength... On the contrary, I guess the merchants who relied solely on the words Ray said here decided it was all kinds of dangerous to buy potion.

Although I bought the potion, the next time I came to the guild, I didn't even know if I thought the merchants would be in trouble because it was too large to sell anymore, or because I was trying to keep the merchants who were currently trying to collect the potion out of trouble.

"That's right. Rumor has it there's a place with a little more bandits."

In the meantime, follow the silent instructions from Vihella to say so, Ray.

Nevertheless, that word is never wrong.

Because this Ray action has resulted in quite a few bandits dying or being sold to slave traders as criminal slaves.

"Bandits?... Well, fine. I thought Master Dusker was missing Ray. Show him your face in the Lords' Hall."

That said Ray nods a little unsure what to do.

If you try Dusker, Ray at heart suddenly disappeared from the Guild, even though a promotion exam to Rank A.

That's not strange, even if it seems like maybe I ran away from the promotion exam...

And I couldn't care less about Ray being gone than it was Dusker who encouraged Ray to take the promotion exam.

"Right, okay. I'll show my face in the Lords' Hall.... If Master Dusker isn't busy, he'll see you."

That's what Ray said, and the guards turned a dazed gaze.
