After taking a breather, Ray and his colleagues decided to head to Guild's office.
　If he had nothing urgent to do, he could have sent it to tomorrow because it was already evening, but there was a matter of mantis fighting on the road.Considering its peculiarity, Elena decided that she could not afford to do anything leisurely, such as turning it around the next day.
　According to the information Ver heard at the inn, one of the deciding factors was that the Guild's head was tentatively treated as the head of the village surrounding the dungeon.

"Hey, look at that..."
"Who is that beauty?"I don't remember seeing it here."
"It's not just a good woman.Your arms are quite good, too."
"And each of them with that woman seems to have a great deal of course.
"And with that body.I want you to deal with me overnight."

　Originally, Elena itself boasts a beautiful face that makes you want to shake, and a very lively body line, so it stands out when you walk in the village.
　And since it is a village centered around the dungeon, many of them are adventurers, and even though they don't know each other's names, many of them know each other.What would happen if Elena, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in such a place,The answer was now spread before the Ray's eyes.
　Most of the male adventurers who see Elena stop on the spot to admire her beauty and gossip with their friends nearby.
　though the one who muttered that he wanted to be with us for the night was breathtaking with a half-killful stare from Arla and Custe.
　Unlike Custe and Arra, who are angry like that, Elena continues to walk down the street without a trace of wind that cares about what's going on around her.Elena, who had been walking across the battlefield, ignored him, saying that it was no use worrying so much about his surroundings.
　Of course, confidence in one's own arm is one of the reasons why I can do it like that.Because he proclaimed that if he wanted to win over him, he should be at least stronger than himself, and he thought that he would avenge his attack in a frenzy, and that he had done so in the past.
　In such a conspicuous formation, Elena's men proceed through the village.
　-- it would have been even more noticeable if he had been here, but fortunately he was not here because he had been fed by Linde in the stable and concentrated there.I wanted to come with him, but Ray persuaded me.

"Well... here's the guild,"

　Ver, who was leading them to the guild, stopped and looked up at the building.
　It was not as large as the guild of the city of Guillum, but it was a very large building.However, since the guild was built only for a limited period of time while the dungeon was in place, it was clearly seen by Ray and his colleagues that the gild was made in various ways.

"Yes, then I'll go in."

　Elena opened the door of the guild, leaving Custe frowning over the roughly constructed guild.
　Then he went in and looked around the guild.

"Well, it's made like this."

　Elena looks sideways at adventurers and guild staff who can't help but harden when they see Elena, and check the inside of the guild.
　Ray also looks around the guild beside Elena.
　It was quite different from the guild in Guillum, perhaps related to the fact that it was made temporarily near the dungeon.The biggest difference is that guilds and bars are not together.This is out of consideration for the use of guilds rather than creating a bar space because many adventurers often gather at guilds at once, such as buying materials and applying for parties.
　For example, at the guild in Guillum, a large number of requests are always placed on the request board, and the end and start times are different depending on the request, so there is still room to spare, even though there are crowded hours such as morning and evening.But almost all of the guilds here are packed with adventurers who are trying to dive into dungeons.
　Even in dungeons, monsters become more belligerent or active at night, so adventurers usually spend the same time in the dungeon.
　Of course, some adventurers want the material of monsters that come out only at night or simply fight strong monsters, but they are a very small number for high-ranking adventurers.
　Or, as some took on the escort of the merchant corps, which was one of the few requests made to the guild, it is not to say that the guild had no adventurer except for a particular time.

"The counter is... over there."Looking sideways at the adventurers and guild officials in the guild finally recovering themselves and starting to move, Elena heads to the guild's counter.

"Do you mind?"
"Ah, yes, yes.Of course, may I help you?"
"I have a word with the man in charge of the guild here, but I want you to act as an intermediary."
"Well, if I ask you what you need, I can't give you permission to see anyone."

　I guess he's just working for a guild by the dungeon.The young man's staff, dumbfounded at Elena's presence, soon calmed down as they spoke, and responded as usual.
　Elena continues to talk, though she is impressed by his professionalism.

"Well, I have two business matters.The first is about this matter."

　He said, and offered me two envelopes containing letters.They were each sealed with the crests of Larkus and Duke Kelebel.
　Guild officials, aside from the Duke of Quevel, must have known the coat of arms of the Earl of L'Arcus, who ruled their home.He looked sharply at the letter and Elena's face twice or three times.

"All right.I'll get you through to the manager of the branch right away, so please wait a moment.
"Yes, I see,"

　Elena nodded and the guild staff rushed up the stairs in the counter.
　Seeing her back off, Elena looks into the guild with interest.
　Basically, his father, who is also the Duke of Kelebel, gives him a mandate, so he does not have many chances to enter the guild.Moreover, since she was originally a Duchess, Custe and Arla kept Elena away from such a place as much as possible.
　In the case of Ver, there is a reasonable opportunity to sell the magical stones and materials that he has acquired during his journey in order to gather information efficiently.

"Who the hell is it? Does anyone know?"
"No, never seen it before.If they were so conspicuous, you would never forget them once you saw them, so they must have come here recently."
"He's probably not an adventurer, considering his behavior.It's very similar to that of a knight I know."
"... Knight? Why is he coming to such a frontier, and a dungeon so dangerous?"
"If you ask me that,"If you are curious, ask yourself."

　Some adventurers talk to acquaintances and friends around them like that, while others feel Ray's enormous magical powers and stop his movements because he is excellent as a wizard.

"What!"
"Hey, what's the matter.
「……」
"What about you? My wizard is shaking in silence as soon as they come."

　In the midst of all this noise, the guild staff members come down the stairs and approach the Elena."I'm late.The representative will meet you."
"I'll take care of you."

　Elena nods and follows the staff up the stairs to guide him.
　Of course, Custe, Ver, Arla, and Ray followed.
　and the only ones remaining on the ground floor of the guild are the adventurers who speculate on the identity of the Elenas, and the wizards who have finally recovered themselves from Ray's disappearance.
　and this incident was triggered by the spread of Ray's presence by the wizards to the party companions and to the party friendly with him.





"Mr. Elena, I have brought your party with me,"

　Guild officials already know what Elena is like.When I politely guided him to the room where the guild representative was supposed to be, he knocked and said so.
　Surprisingly, the staff's voice was young.

"Yes, please come in."

　Staff members open the door and go inside following the voices from inside.followed by Elena and the others.

"Welcome, sir.I am a worker who represents the guild here."

　It was a man in his twenties who stood up from his office desk and bowed his head, at least in his early thirties.She has a soft face and gives off a friendly atmosphere.
　It must have been quite different from what he had expected.Ver and Arla looked at the representative with unexpected expressions, whether they were all the same just because they were commoners to Custe, especially as if they were observing.
　Meanwhile, Ray also moves his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
　It's a guild right next to the dungeon.Of course, there are many adventurers, and that is why some of them are so rough.It was the guild's representative who had brought them together, and that was what he envisioned as a man like Dusker, the Count of Larkes.

(Is this the representative of the guild?Well, I don't think you can bring the adventurers together just by being kind, so I think there are many different faces behind the scenes...)

　While Ray secretly thinks so, Elena, sitting on the guest sofa, opens her mouth without changing her expression.
　The others stood behind Elena as bodyguards.

"If you read the letter, you will understand, but let me say hello again.My name is Elena Kelebel, who was sent by her father, the Duke of Kelebel, on his way to what is called the altar of succession found in this dungeon.Thank you very much."
"Yes, thank you very much, sir, but the altar of succession that the Duchess said was at the bottom of the dungeon, on the seventh basement, near the boss.I think it is difficult for anyone who is rumored to be a princess shogun to get there..."
"I think I understand that.Fortunately, I have a subordinate who has the skill of a thief named Ver, and I am sure there will be no problem with the military power of others.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Elena turns to Ver, Custe, Arra and tells the worker so.

"... I see.You said you would like the letter to be as convenient as possible. Do you have any hope?"
"Not now, for the time being.We have prepared enough supplies in guillem and have sufficient military strength."If you can dive into the dungeon smoothly, there is no problem."""
"Smoothly, sir,"I see."

　A worker nodding and thinking about something, and then he pulls out something like a guild card from his office desk.

"Take this with you,"For those who have this, it guarantees me the same authority as the guild's representative.You'll need it especially when you enter a dungeon."
"When you enter the dungeon?"
"Yes, basically every adventurer has the same time to enter the dungeon.Sometimes it is necessary to wait, but if you use the card, you should be able to put it in right away without waiting."
"Well, that's a relief.I'll take this with thanks... ...and return it when I get out of here?""Yes, it would be very helpful if you could do so.And what about the Dungeon map?"
"I have received from Larkus the third basement, but do you have a more detailed map?"
"No, we have the latest products available up to the third basement level.There are some parties that have reached the end of this period, but the provision of information is just good intentions..."

　After a few seconds of silence, the worker re-opens his mouth when he finishes talking about the dungeon.

"So you said you had two business matters, but what was the other thing about Dungeon?"
"Well, actually, I was attacked by a strange monster on my way here from the city of Gilm."
"Strange? Is that a new kind of monster?"
"I don't know.Can a monster be defined as something that melts and disappears without leaving any magical stones?Moreover, it's at least as strong as a Rank B monster."
"...is that true?"

　Rather than wondering, Arra takes a step forward to the worker who asks if he doubts the truth of the story.

"Do you mean that Mr. Elena is telling a lie?"
"No, but on behalf of the guild, I can't easily believe that such a monster appeared... ...but there's a bit of a situation.k.I don't know what to say."
"Oh? Do you have any idea?"Go on."

　A worker nodding to Elena's words and opening his mouth.

"In fact, it seems that some of the business units that have left here for the past few weeks have gone missing.and so did the merchant who left the town of Gillum."
"What's your bodyguard?"
"Of course I did.Please wait a moment."

　As he spoke, he picked up the papers which had been placed in the corner of the desk and turned the pages.

"""At the most, it's a Rank C party."It's the lowest, so there's a rank F party as a bodyguard.If you had the strength of a Rank B monster, as Elena said, it might have been a bit heavy on you. ...Are you sure it's a Rank B monster?"
"Oh, Ray there will testify,"
"... Ray?"
"Guild officials would have heard of the oak settlement, who overthrew the rank B monster Oak King, who was leading the oak at the time.Ray."

　At the urging of Elena, Ray stepped forward.

"It's Ray. The monsters who fought on the road certainly had Oak King class power.The object was a giant mantis with four sickles and armour like beetles, but it was confirmed that it used the magic of wind and the ability to blend into the scenery and disappear from view.I knocked it down and it melted with a pungent smell.By the way, the liquid that melted the mantis was poisonous enough to melt the grass on the ground roughly."
"... I see.I will also contact the guild in the town of Guilm about this matter.I hope the mantis-shaped monster is one of the only rare species or something..."
"According to Ray, there was an opinion that it was made by alchemy."
"Well, an alchemist?"Thank you very much, I'll let you know about that at the same time."

　Thus, the most important report of the mantis was over, and after that he returned to the inn to heal the fatigue of the journey.In order to challenge dungeon the next day.
