Legend

"... are you back"

Ha, and.

Exhaling deeply, Dusker tells Ray so.

I put the paperwork I was reading on my desk and pointed my frightened gaze at Ray.

Nevertheless, this response of Dusker would also be natural.

The promotion exam is tomorrow.

Even so, as soon as I went out, there was no way to come back at all.

That's how Ray came back all of a sudden, so don't be surprised. I guess I can't.

"Excuse me. I ended up buying potions in a day, but I got into a lot of problems where it was done."

"If you think about Ray, you can be convinced."

"Ha. Vihera told me that too."

There is no sign of Vihera in the Lords' Hall.

Vihera could have been here, too, if she had, but it was because of the decision that we should first go to the marina's house and let Elaine know that she was back.

Ray had no intention of disputing that opinion either, so he asked Vihera to go home first.

Sometimes I wondered if I would let Vihera hear about my stupidity from Dusker.

Most importantly, even though it's about me, Ray is only the troubled side.

Ray didn't take action from himself, so it's not like he doesn't have the feeling of being told to be stupid.

However, Ray was definitely the one who could ignore it and go home to Gilm even if he got in trouble, but didn't do it and stuck his neck in trouble.

Most importantly, if Ray had ignored the trouble, many innocent people would have died as a result.

If that happens, Ray will have a bad aftertaste.

As for Ray, I was absolutely sorry to think that.

That's why Ray is sorry for coming back to Gilm so late, but he still doesn't regret his actions.

After seeing how Ray was doing, Dusker also decided that there was no point in saying anything more.

Exhale to change your mood, then Dusker opens his mouth.

"Enough about that. So, you don't have a problem taking a promotion test, do you?

"Yes, I've got potions for you, too."

"Potion..."

In Ray's words, Dusker gives a difficult look.

I guess naturally Dusker also understands the current lack of potion, beyond being Lord of the Guild.

It's not like there's going to be all the potions gone tomorrow, but it's an unmistakable fact that we're still running out of potions.

If you need to hit your hand before a lack of potion becomes a serious situation, it would be natural for you as a lord to think so.

The question is, how do we prepare that potion?

The easy thing would be to buy from a merchant.

The missing potions are essentially for those who work inside the guild.

It's like the adventurers fight monsters and use them when they get hurt... high quality potions are still in pretty good stock.

And potions that can be purchased anywhere but in the Guild are mostly quality items there.

Of course, it's not that high quality potions are not made in other villages and cities.

"I'm handling the potion thing here as well. Meet an armed pharmacist or alchemist to come to the guild."

"It's the same as"

"Basically it is, but it's a little different"

In order to cut down Trento's forest trees, Gilm recruited many villages and towns.

The difference would be that the pigeons are only coming to earn money, and many return to their homeland before winter.

I guess some of them like the guilds and go straight past winter in the guilds or migrate.

Unlike the others, Dusker intended to take pharmacists and alchemists into the Guild.

Once the construction of the Gilm has been completed, many will gather.

I guess that includes pharmacists and alchemists as a matter of course, but we still don't know how many will come, and it's possible that only the technologically immature will come.

Given that, it was only natural that we should have a pharmacist or alchemist with the appropriate skill on the Guild side from the outset.

Whether you are a pharmacist or alchemist, there is also a good chance that you will be able to obtain materials that are not so easy to use elsewhere in the peripheral guilds, which is also valuable in the sense of improving your skills and experience.

Yes, Ray, explained to Dusker, shows how convinced he is to be.

"If you're thinking about it, you don't have to worry about me."

"I hope so. I don't know what happens at times like this. Whose fault is that, anyway?"

As a lord, Ray also understood that there must be a great deal going on.

If Ray can help me with this because I understand... that's all I want you to do is pass the promotion exam and become a Rank A Adventurer soon.

Ray then tells what experience he has had in the last three days and wonders if Dusker will get into that much trouble in just three days.

No, Ning Lo. I was surprised that you solved all that trouble in just three days.

It's been a pretty busy three days for Ray, too, so it seemed natural to think that Dusker would be surprised this way, though.

That's about half an hour to talk, and I'm done talking to Ray.

It was actually a Dusker who wanted to hear more from Ray, but it was because he needed to clear that up more than he had a job to do.

"Gru!"

When we get out of the Lords' Hall, Seto comes quickly.

I'm in the mood for some food from the cook, as usual.

"So, shall we head to the marina's house? If you have any delicious food on the way, let's buy it."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

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

I got food from the cook, but that's not enough for a full stomach either.

If there were any delicious shops along the way, it was natural to think about buying and eating there.

"You've been very vigilant."

Ray proceeds inside the aristocratic city, eating salt roasted river fish stabbed on the skewers.

The reason for the heightened vigilance was the high number of adventurers in the aristocratic neighborhood.

One thing about the anterm wasn't that long ago.

Beyond that, it was only natural that the aristocrats living in the aristocratic city would be more vigilant.

I don't think you need to be so vigilant if you try Ray, whose case is already in the past.

Nevertheless, I guess that's only what I can say because it's Ray who fought directly against Anterm.

(If anyone's up to anything but an anterm, I guess you don't even have to worry that much about it because the Spirit says it's a marina's house and it's well secured)

With a strong sense of security in the comfort of the marina's house, Ray proceeds through the aristocratic city.

Unlike many adventurers, almost all of them know Ray, so they were able to move on without being stopped to the point of exchanging words lightly.

Like Anterm, those who don't know about Ray... as far as walking like this, there was nothing like encountering them.

If you try it on Ray, you've never crossed without such an opponent.

I definitely wanted to avoid imitations like getting tangled up in strange opponents again.

In front of the Marina house that arrives that way, for some reason, everyone gathers like Elaine, Marina, Vihera, Ara, Büne, Nielsen, Yello......

(Regardless of the other faces, even the marina?

Marina, who works in a clinic, naturally doesn't get out of work that easily.

Regardless of whether you want to go to a store near the clinic or not, this is quite a distance from the clinic in the aristocratic district.

Even so, there's a marina here.

It would be more impossible for Ray not to be surprised by that.

"What's the matter, so much for all of us"

"Alas, even though the promotion exam is tomorrow, I'll be back at this hour today... we'll have plenty of room"

A marina that tells you so, with a full smile.

However, I'm not laughing at all at the gaze that can be directed at Ray.

I'm sure you'll see that I'm angry.

At least it doesn't seem like Ray would listen to that word no matter what he says.

"Eh, I think I was in touch with Elaine at the opposite orb for once..."

When we talked in a pair of orbs, naturally Elaine wasn't the only one who talked, she also talked to other faces, starting with the marina.

More than that, it was unexpected to Ray that Marina was so angry.

"Pfft, yeah. But that would have been a pair of orbs, wouldn't it? Compared to that, we can talk to each other like this today."

"Uh, yeah. Right. I'm pretty sure we got to see each other well this way.... Are you mad at me?

To Ray, who asks in such a fearful way, the marina turns her gaze... eventually exhales a deep sigh.

"If you ask me if I'm not angry, I'm angry. But I've heard what's happened in the last three days in a pair of orbs, and again from Vihella. I can't be mad at you."

Ray finally relieves himself of the marina's words.

Maybe he was really angry because he thought so.

No, I guess it's true, as he says, that he was actually angry.

"But okay? If I'd missed a day and couldn't take my promotion exam, I'd definitely be in more trouble than Ray got involved this time, wouldn't I?

Ray nods again with a serious look at the marina who says that with a serious look.

Of course, Ray didn't mean to be late for the exam or anything, and he's actually making it this way.

But if anything happened to Ray that would have delayed his promotion exam, I'm pretty sure it caused a lot of commotion.

Rank A Adventurer is what you should call the best adventurer except for the special existence of Rank S Adventurer.

Not even in this guild is that much if you become a Rank A Adventurer.

Just for such an exam, a promotion exam to Rank A is something special in the Alliance.

Not to mention that this time it would be more special in the sense that a promotion exam would be held in the Devil's Forest at Dusker's request.

"Oh, I'm sorry.... but if the same thing happens, maybe I'll do the same thing again."

"I guess..."

Marina, too, Ray's relationship is long and thick.

That's why I know Ray's character as a matter of course.

If there was someone in front of Ray who was looking for help for any reason, Ray would definitely give a reason to help.

"In the meantime, Ray should go to the guild and meet the workers. Because he's worried too."

"The worker?

For Ray, the worker is always calm.

That's what I can't imagine being worried or upset about.

"Of course not. The worker was pretty pushy about this promotion exam too. But I'm not coming back until the day before the exam when Ray takes that promotion exam. So don't worry about it."

If you say so, do you?

Yes, Ray thinks, and for now he shows how convinced he is by Marina's words.

"Okay. Then I'm gonna show my face a little. I didn't mean to worry so much about the workers."

"Think about your actions and open your mouth, will you? Well, it looks like I've bought the potion, and I don't have a problem with it."

"Right. I was able to buy potions safely in several cities and villages."

Of course, that potion is by no means effective… it is not the kind of potion used by adventurers who have been in the Guild for a long time.

I would have preferred to buy it elsewhere rather than collect it in a guild that is still running out of potion

"Lack of potion, huh? I think we'll sort that out in a little bit, huh?

"Is that true?

Surprised and listening back to the words that came out of the marina's mouth.

Even when I was talking to Elaine in an orb against her, I have quite a conversation with Marina as well.

But I didn't remember hearing that from Marina at that time.

That's why I wondered, but if Marina says so, it's probably because of her previous history as a former guild master.
