When the morning sun rises, Seto shakes himself up against Ray, who is sleeping with his throat ringing.

"Huh? Set...?"
"Glu".

　If you look around while rubbing your eyes, you can understand that the sun has already completely appeared and it is early in the morning.

"Morning... I slept better than I thought."

　muttering, he stood up and checked his condition.I was exercising until just before I went to bed last night, but I didn't have any muscle pain.

"Grull".

　I turned to Seto's voice and saw a water polo floating there.I guess this means you should wash your face.

"It's a relief,"

　Just like last night, wash your face with water and let it dry naturally.
　After that, thanks to Seto's care in his sleep, he cooked the meat of the water bear properly on the burning fire and had breakfast, sharing the last two clara berries one by one, and was ready for departure.

"Well, I'm about to leave... last night I put you in charge of guarding. Are you physically all right?"
"Glu".

　She calls Ray's question perfectly fine.
　A typical Gryphon would show some fatigue after a night's vigil, but Sett was a Gryphon produced by Ray's magic.Rather than one night, you can stay up all night for about a week without any problems.But if I did that, I would have to devote the next few days to rest.

"Well, then let's go at once."
"Glu".

　It encourages people to bend down and ride, just like they did in the woods.Ray pats her back lightly to express gratitude and straddles her with a death size.

"Gurling!"

　It screams high, flaps its wings in a few steps, and runs up as if it were running in the sky.and, at a high altitude, fluttering its enormous wings, turning only its neck towards Ray, who was riding on his back.

"Glu?"

　Ray points south to Seto, who asks which way you're going.I don't know if it's reliable, but Zepail's knowledge is that a few days south of this forest will lead to a rather large city.
　However, Ray has already judged that Zepyle's knowledge is not so reliable, so he only considers it for reference.However, there is a big difference between having something to refer to and not having one.

"To the south,"
"Grunt!"

　Wailing sharply at Ray's words, he takes a path southward and flaps his wings.

"... That's amazing,"

　I couldn't help but say a word at the sight I saw from the back of Seto.
　In front of Ray's eyes was a blue sky and a green carpet that stretched all over the place.As far as the eye can see, there are no man-made objects such as towns or villages.Even though he was born and raised in a rural town in the Tohoku region, it is natural that he lives in his own house or neighborhood.Some places where you could go by bicycle were called towns.It was the first time in my life that I had ever seen a world of nature that was so vast in front of me.

"Grull!"

　Ray must have been pleased to see the view from the sky.Seto sings joyfully and spins through the sky with his wings flapping bigger.

"...not only am I fascinated, but I must think about my background."

　In the first place, I only know the world's common sense through Zepail's knowledge.And I don't think I can trust that knowledge very much, so I have to think about setting it up to be naive.When Ray decides to do so, he uses his brain half-heartedly to look at the scenery and half-heartedly to think about his settings.

(First of all, as long as he is forced to live as an adventurer, he must be a magician.When you're with Seto, you also need to set up your ability to summon him or to be a Tamer.But it's a setting that doesn't matter if you're naive...)

　I remember similar things in novels, comics and movies that I have read and seen and so far.

(Memory loss... is impossible because of Seto's presence.Were you flown to a strange place by the transition magic runaway? That might be possible, but... wait.)

　At that moment, Ray's mind came to mind a manga he read when he was a teacher, saying that an apprentice wizard who was practicing in a remote place would be sent on a training trip.
　He applied his current situation one by one to themselves.

(I lived alone with my master in a remote place, so I didn't know much about the world... OK.The magic I learned from the master, or magic, is fire magic and summoning... I'm afraid I'll call him a Tamer.According to Zepail's knowledge, there is a kind of tamer.He and his partner, Seto, discovered the streets and villages as they wandered around hunting for demons, having been transferred to places they didn't know by spatial magic because they had taught the magic to their master.)

　He muttered in his mind, wondering if there was any contradiction in the settings he had in mind.

"No problem,"

　If you think about it deeply, there are many strange things, such as using a huge scythe called death-size scythe as a weapon while practicing as a magician, throwing out the scythe as an engine for witchcraft as a so-called cane, throwing away the scythe without a penny for practicing, and equipped with expensive and high-performance magic items other than Ray.But Ray couldn't think of any more convincing settings, so he nodded satisfactorily without worrying about them.
　It was only a few hours after the setting was made, and Seto and Ray, who were riding on his back, enjoyed traveling in the air without anyhow.
　Ray enjoyed the view from the sky for a while, but after watching the same view for several hours on end, he got tired of it.They were demons who attacked them, merchants and aristocrats who were attacked by thieves.or perhaps there would be a common development in a novel about an adventurer under attack by a demon, but the reality was not so sweet that nothing could happen at all, leaving it to be swayed by Sett's back.
　And a few more hours.When Ray began to think that it was time for the sun to rise directly above him, and that it was about noon, so he had to find a demon to eat in earnest.

"Roll-rolling.

　for Seto gave an attention-seeking cry.

"What's the matter?"
"Glu".

　Sett looks forward to Ray's question.I followed his gaze, and found that there were many houses rather than artifacts.It's not a village or town, it's a fairly large town with tens of thousands of people.Perhaps to counter evil spirits, the city was constructed as a so-called walled city with walls covering the city.
　Ray sees the city and breathes.

"As expected, it's a city that Zepail doesn't know, but in a few hundred years it's possible to build a city of that size, so do you actually go into that city and gather information?"

　It's probably because the city is so close.There is something like a road leading from the city below.However, it is not a concrete or stone-paved road, but a road that is naturally built by the feet and carriage of people entering and leaving the city.and those who are on the road can see it in their own way.

(Well, what shall we do?First of all, I would refuse to take a set and go directly into the city from above, so it would be best to go quietly through the entrance... getting off directly near the entrance with a set would also alert you to being a gatekeeper.I reject this, too, so I'll land a little further away and walk with Seto to the city.)

　The policy is decided by looking at the people on the road below pointing to Seto and shouting in surprise.

"Set, get down to earth in a little while.Let's not fly, let's walk on the ground towards that city."
"Glu".

　At Ray's request, Seto sings softly and heads towards the city with his wings fluttering wide.After a few minutes, Seto and Ray decided to end their flight about a ten-minute walk to the city.Landing on the ground, Seto and Ray walk along the road leading to the city.There were travelers, merchants, or adventurers around them, perhaps because they were watching Seto land.

(I see, that's an adventurer.Basically, it's common for a few people to work in groups.The weapons are swords, spears, and bows, and the magician is the one who holds the cane?)

　And Ray observes the surroundings, especially those who seem to be adventurers, as he walks on the ground that has been trampled down so as not to be realized.The adventurers were observing them, too, whether they were aware of the observation, or whether they were wary of the purely glyphon, Seto.
　The situation lasted about 10 minutes before you finally saw the entrance to the city.There were five soldiers, each armed with spears and swords, waiting for the Lays, as a matter of course or not.

「……」

　As expected, Ray couldn't help himself and approached the soldiers silently.After that, Seto follows meekly.The soldiers were watching one and the other approaching them in this way, but as the distance shrinks, a man suddenly steps up to Ray.

(Compared to the other soldiers in their 20s, they are in their 30s and 40s, probably in their 30s and 40s.The weapon... is equipped with a sword, but it is not particularly dangerous, as it is still in the sheath and on the waist.)

　A middle-aged man with a beard says to Ray, confirming his expectations.

"My name is Langa, and I am the head of the security force in the town of Gilm.Can I assume that you came to this town for business?"

　In spite of his stern appearance, what he uttered was an unexpectedly light voice.Ray nods even though he is confused by the discomfort.

"Yes, that's for sure,"
"Well, then, I wonder if you'll be able to tell me a story at the station over there.for they were all terrified, for they were carrying A-rated demons like Gryphons."

　I glanced round and saw that many of the eyes of those close to the gate were on Ray and Sett.though most of them, including the adventurers, looked away from Ray.

(You must be afraid of Seto more than I expected, and there is no point in going through it here.I wonder if it would be quicker to explain quietly in the room.)

　Breathe inwardly and nod in the man's voice.

"All right. I think we should be quiet and do as you say."
"I'm sorry, sir, that if you let someone with a beast as high as Gryphon pass by, he'll get in trouble with you'll get in trouble.and I must give the papers to the frontier-collegs."

　Langa explains the situation in a light tone that doesn't suit her stern face.It seems that the light voice we had when we met for the first time was not intentionally made out to be wary of Ray or Sett.
　Following Langa's guidance, he heads to a small building by the gate.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think it's big enough for a Gryphon to fit in, so may I ask you outside?"
"Oh, I don't mind.set."

　She calls out Seto's name, who follows her quietly behind Ray, scrapes her head happily against him and speaks to him in a way that makes him sound like a Langa.

"I want to talk to you in that building, and Seto, please rest near the building."
"Glu?"

　He nodded back to Seto, who turned his blue eyes towards him, saying, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay. You know how good I am, right?"
"Glu".

　Perhaps she was relieved by Ray's words, but she was lying down in the grass beside the station.He closed his eyes slowly, perhaps because he was tired of staying up all night and flying so far without a break.
　Of course, it is not that they are not on guard.The set, which is an overwhelming difference in specifications from other Gryphon's, was not so difficult to rest and be vigilant about, except for the sense of smell and hearing, or magic.

"I'll tell you just in case, don't bother me when I'm listening in the office.""Oh, of course I know.I don't think I'd be foolish enough to offend the A-rated beast.But, you know... you."

　Langa calls up a soldier nearby.

"What is it?"
"as someone watches over the Gryphon for any unnecessary interference while he and I are talking at the station,"
"...what? You?"
"Yes, you,"
"... I understand,"

　Soldiers nodding with disapproval.

(Well, I don't know since he said he was a rank A beast.)

　I don't know what ranks are set up, but it's easy to predict that Rank A would be quite dangerous, at least as far as the guards are concerned.
　Ray also opens his mouth, smiling bitterly at the soldier's appearance.

"If you don't meddle badly, you won't do anything, and there's no danger."
"Well... let me believe you,"
"Well, I'll go to the station right away... before I go."

　Langa hands Ray something like a piece of cloth from where he came from.Ray frowns because he doesn't know what it's for, although he's glad to receive it.After thinking about it for a while, he asks Ranga if he doesn't know how to use it.

"What should I do with this cloth?"
"... you. Did you want to enter the city with the blade of a scythe intact? No one is hanging a sword with a sword drawn, let alone a spear, with the blade as large as that ... you can't miss it from a standpoint."
"...all right,"

　It was a satisfactory explanation.
