17 Episode 0017



The day after I went to the library.Shortly after the first bell rang, Ray was in the Adventurer's Guild.Sett is naturally waiting for Ray in a carriage space outside the guild.

"It's very different from the day before yesterday,"

 When I came to the guild the day before yesterday, only a few adventurers were in front of the board on which the request was posted, and the number of people drinking in bars was higher.
 Now, though I can't say it's crowded, quite a few people stand in front of the board and read through the requests they can receive in their ranks.
 It was an unexpected development for Ray, but the adventurer's guild is most crowded in the morning.If you think about it, it's only natural that you get a request in the morning, do it during the day, and come back in the evening and get paid.That's the best time to live in the city.
 Some of them specialize in nighttime requests, but they are basically in the minority.

"Hey, that young man in the robe.Is he the one who did the Vargas alone?"
"What? I've heard that I'm as big as Vargas?"
"What I heard was a delicate adventurer of a woman."

 We look at the requests posted on the F and G-rated boards while listening to what adventurers are saying when they see Ray unfamiliar.
 Nevertheless, Ray has little expectation for F or G-rated requests.for it is of little consequence to absorb as many weak magical stones as possible in the art of sorcery.Therefore, Ray's aim was to receive a request to subdue a suitable demon at this request, and to find a demon that could absorb the skill of Seto and Desize.

"But, by the way, if you say it's a beginner's request, that's it."

 Rey's requests are for the delivery of fangboa and unicorn rabbit meat in rank G, and for the collection of medicinal herbs, which are the ingredients for the portion.Or materials for anesthetics to be used when a serious injury occurs, all of which are similar.
 I sigh at such a request.Even though it was just a surprise request, the target of the suppression of any request was too weak.Rather, the fangboa and the unicorn rabbit are both wolf-like wild animals who fought in the evil forest, not demons.Basically, these G-rated requests are in the form of constant requests, and they are for training for those who have just risen from H-rated to G-rated, which was originally only a city-wide request.
 Next, let's move to the front of the F-rated board and look at the requests that are being posted.
 Most of the requests were made for the subjugation of the goblins, the delivery of the magic nucleus of slime, the subjugation of poison toads, and so on.

"Well, let's at least leave it this way.Goblin is a must when it comes to fantasy."

 muttered, and read the request to subdue the Goblin.
 According to the request, the subjugation of the goblins is always requested, and the certification of the subjugation is given to the right ear. The minimum number of the five animals is to be subjugated.It was written that each right ear was exchanged for three copper coins.
 Ray frowned at the low reward for the low-ranking adventurer, but if he brought five ears, he would get 15 copper coins.In other words, it consisted of one silver coin and five copper coins.The Wheat-tei at dusk where Ray is staying costs three silver coins per night, but that's because it's a rather expensive inn in the town of Gilm.Beginners who have just registered as guilds usually stay at cheap lodgings with about five copper coins per night, where they usually find someone in the same situation as themselves and have a party.
 Besides his ability, Ray was far from the ordinary adventurer.
 He rips off the paper of his request to subdue the Goblin and brings it to the receptionist of the ponytail, whom he spoke of when he first came to the guild.
 Some of the adventurers around them watched it with unexpected expressions.It was surprising that the request was to get rid of the goblins, which were near the bottom of the monsters, even though they were able to compete with the four adventurers in Rank D.He didn't think he had chosen it for the simple reason that fantasy was a goblin.
 However, it's almost certain that you won't be able to get a magical stone that can grow Set or Death Size no matter what you fight against, so that's not a particularly wrong decision.

"Goblin"
 It is a demon who is as tall as a child.It has green skin and has short-topped horns on its forehead.When viewed as an individual, it is very weak, and even ordinary people have only the ability to easily defeat him if they are used to fighting.However, they basically have a habit of swarming together and prefer to act in groups.There are also a few people who are not very good but intelligent and armed with weapons that they pick up and steal.

 She draws information about the goblin from Zepail's knowledge and hands over the request form to the receptionist.

"To get rid of the goblins?"If you are as strong as Ray, you will have no problem, but please be careful not to be careless."
"Oh, and that's the place of Goblin."
"In that case, it seems that they basically appear in the woods along the streets of Gilm.These days, it seems that merchants and travelers who are heading to the streets of Gilm are attacked in groups.""Is Goblin so intelligent?"
"No, it's not normal, so there's a possibility that there's a rare species."

 Rare species are individuals born as a kind of mutation.Rare species usually have higher capabilities than the originating species of monsters, and are ranked one level higher than the monsters published in the guild.In this case, the Goblin rank is F, so rare species become monsters equivalent to E rank.

 The receptionist accepts the request and goes out of the guild.
 The knowledge of Zepail, which had lost credibility recently, seems to have existed for thousands of years since Zepail was alive, and he was able to draw out knowledge without any problems.

"Glu".

 When Seto finds Ray out of the guild, he stands up with a happy voice.
 Seeing this, passersby around him see Seto standing up and holding his breath and walking away quickly, but Seto approaches Ray and rubs his head against him.

"Grull".
"I'm sorry. Then shall we go now?"
"Grunt!"

 Seto responds to Ray's words by singing.and walked down the main street to the gate.





"Well, it's been a day.I can hear your success so far."

 Langa, who is by the gate, calls out as soon as she sees Ray and Sett.
 When Ray is told that he is successful, he comes across only one case with Vargas, and with a wry smile, he takes an adventurer's card from Mistilling and shows it to Langa.

"I'll tell you, I've only dealt with it accordingly, for I've been entangled by a fool."
"...I hear you took not only your money, but your weapons?"
"Yes, I bet all my fortune.It's natural."

 Then he removes the necklace of Juma from Seto's neck and hands it to Ranga.

"Poor fellow... the Falcon's men went by here a few steps below the usual weapon."

 Ray was surprised to hear what Ranga said, shaking his head.

(I thought they would walk out of the city of Gillum at once... they seem to have more guts than I thought.)

"No problem, then, and be careful -- you have this Gryphon, so long as it's not too much to worry about."
"Well, then, Seto, shall we look for it from above?"
"Glu".

 As he straddled Seto's back, he flapped his big wings with a run of several meters, and went up to the sky with his eyes fixed on him.

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

 A short distance away from the city of Gilmoo makes a high pitch as if to relieve stress.While patting his back, Ray thinks inside.

(If you think about it, Sett has just been born.Even if he was born in a peculiar way to the art of the beast, he might be stressed if he was confined to the stable of the inn even though he was only a few days old.)

 When Ray went out, he took him out of the stable, but his living conditions, such as those who were afraid to see him and those who could not fly carelessly in the narrow streets, put a lot of stress on Seto.
 Ray is thinking of going out of town as soon as he gets a request from tomorrow.Originally, Ray's purpose is to nurture Seto and Death Size, and it is not necessary to become an adventurer.However, information is always gathered in the guild, and requests for extermination of high-rank monsters are sometimes posted.They are very useful information and requests for Ray.However, under the current G rank, we cannot receive a request to subjugate a high rank monster.If you think about that, the goal of the present situation is to raise the rank by receiving even a little request.
 While I was thinking about it, I heard from the Guild's receptionist about the forest along the road.It would take a few hours for ordinary travelers and adventurers to get to the forest, but Ray in Seto arrived only ten minutes after leaving the city of Gilm.That alone was evident in Gryphon's... or, indeed, Seto's mobility.

"Can you see the monster?"
"Glu".

 Shake your head from side to side while flying in the sky.Even in Ray's eyes, the forest spreads out below, and is hidden behind trees.

"If I could have launched a surprise attack from above, it would have been very quick... I wonder if this would be the case.Set, come down to earth."
"Grunt!"

 It was the grace of the Gryphon, with the lower body of the Lion, that landed on the ground, with a short cry of Ray's voice and a soft touch with his wings.
 There seemed to be several travelers, adventurers, and merchants near the landing point, but Ray could see them running at full speed to the city of Gillum when he saw Sett coming down.

(...probably the people around Langa will tell you what happened, saying that they saw the Gryphon at the gate.)

 While laughing bitterly at Langa's increased work, he immediately changes his mind to explore the forest.

"I can't tell from here for a moment.Let's go into the woods, shall we?"
"Glu".

 Seto gives a cry of approval and goes straight into the forest.
 Originally, they are not good at fighting in a small place like in the woods, whether it be Ray or Seto.In this case, however, the Goblin was his opponent, and he decided that he did not have to be so nervous, and went into the depths of the forest.
 and about an hour after entering the forest.Seto, who was suddenly walking in front of Ray, stopped moving.

"Grull".

 He looked around as if to be wary of something, but even though it was a forest along the road, there were trees with thick trunks growing in the back, blocking the sunlight with branches and leaves, and it was still daylight, but the surroundings were dim.Besides, Ray didn't feel it because of the Dragon Robe, but the surrounding temperature was quite high, and an ordinary adventurer would have been tired from the heat and sweat.

"Grunt!"

 In such a situation, Seto, who barks short, invokes a water polo and shoots it off into a bush covered with grass.
 And the next moment.

"Geez!"

 An unpleasant scream was heard through the bushes, and nearly twenty goblins appeared.
