"Then, the purchase price of the material and the proof of subjugation will be one white gold coin and eight gold coins.Please make sure."

　Ray checks the gold and white gold coins given by Lenora at the counter on the ground floor of the guild.As for the materials for the monsters we brought in this time, we didn't bring out rare monsters like sprigans, and the emerald wolf, which is said to be sold at a high price, bought the materials at a very high price, considering that most of them are still in the mystery ring without being stripped off.
　Ray puts a bag of gold and white gold into the pockets of the dragon robes, satisfied with the amount.
　After confirming it, Lenora opens her mouth again.

"And Mr. Ray,"About the request I mentioned earlier..."
"Oh, please,"

　Kenny, who was playing with another adventurer next to Lenora, glances slightly jealous at the couple, who are not necessarily familiar with each other.
　Lenora smiles at Kenny's gaze, saying it was a good medicine once in a while, and takes out a few papers from the inside of the counter.

"Yes, please write down your request.Please note that the guild intermediary fee is basically determined by the rank of the request.I basically look at the contents of the request and let the guild judge the rank of the request."
"Okay. Should I write the request?"
"Well, I write for those who can't write..."
"That's all right,"
"Well, here's this document,"Ah, I don't mind the procedure of taking it home and writing it after I take it home?"

　As lunch approaches, adventurers who seek food, and some ordinary people, see them having lunch at a bar inside the guild, and tell Ray.
　Lenora thought it would be better for him not to be noisy when writing a request, but Ray shook his head and buried the documents on the spot.

(The request is to strip off the monster's material.)The target monsters are generally large quantities of water monkeys and emerald wolf.It is also a rare sprigan, but the skin of the sprigan has been peeled off and the magical stones have been removed.Also, the number of low-ranked monsters is relatively high... and as for rewards, 3 gold coins, regardless of the number of applicants, are a little too high?One piece is split into heads.However, depending on the condition of the material, there are some bonuses.)

　Request contents are written in the document and handed over to Lenora.

"Is this all right?"
"Well, wait a moment,"

　Lenora shakes her head slightly after looking over the documents.

"I think it's better to write down where the material will be stripped off and penalties for embezzlement.And I think the pay is a little too high."
"Is it expensive?"
"Yes, I think it's an exceptional reward for securing the safety of ripping off materials without fighting monsters."
"But I think it's quite labor-intensive because of the quantity."

　At Ray's words, Lenora reads the request again.

"Well...If the number of water monkeys is close to fifty, surely..."

　Lenora thinks about it for a few seconds and turns to Kenny next to her.

"Hey, Kenny.Have you ever had a request to strip the material?"

　Perhaps thinking that he would be openly involved in the request with Ray, he shook his head with a smile.

"I don't think so.Basically, there are a lot of people who work at parties, so it doesn't take much time to peel off the material.At least I don't remember seeing it after I started working in the guild, and if an ordinary party does something so leisurely, it will start to rot."
"Then there is no precedent for remuneration, either. ... All right, I will accept your request for the amount Mr. Ray suggested.And what about the penalty? If Ray is going to supervise it, he may not need it.""No, let me in.If I had time to watch 50 of them rip off the material, I would like to do something else."Well, it would be helpful if you could write down that if the embezzlement were discovered, it would be a magical laboratory."

　Lenora frowns slightly at the word "magic laboratory," and Kenny next to her smiles amusingly.

"By the way, may I ask you what magic it is?"
"Well, I haven't thought of it yet.I'll think about it when it's actually time.Well, if you think that the magic I'm good at is fire, you'll understand what kind of magic it is."

　Again, Ray talks with a smile on his face.There were not many adventurers left in the guild, but there were still so many who heard Ray's words and looked at him with smiles that he swore to himself that he would never embezzle them if he were to be asked.Basically, the magic of fire is mostly attack magic, and there are few auxiliary magic.As long as the effect of magic is determined by the operator's image, the flame still has a strong impression of destruction.

"Yes, Ray is severe at work, isn't he?That's cool, too."

　Some of them, like Kenny, were unconditionally positive when it came to being Ray.

"Also, there are sprigans and emerald wolfs among the monsters who will be stripped, so if you have experienced those two kinds of stripping, please give them priority."
"... yes, I received it.Please wait for a moment.The person in charge will decide the rank of the request."

　Lenora walks away bowing to him, and Kenny takes advantage of the fact that there is no adventurer in him to talk to talk to Ray.

"Well, my dear Ray,"I've just finished my big request, so are you taking a break for a while? Would you like to go on a date with your sister?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I've just submitted a request.I'd like to accept your request again if that's all right."
"I'm really good at getting impatient. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　Winking back to his seat at the counter, Kenny is followed by several adventurers who enter the guild.Somehow, Ray was looking at it, but he found himself alone in it.At almost the same time, they had seen Ray, and with an expression of surprise, they spoke to the party members and broke up and approached him.

"It's been a long time.I've heard quite a lot about it."
"I hardly heard of you saying that, Loono,"

　Yes, it was Rank C adventurer Reno who just entered the guild and came under Ray.
　When Ray first came to the town of Guillem, he got entangled in the guild at the rank D party, Falconia.He was an adventurer who dived into the dungeon with his hawk's claws and used his eyes to see through traps.It was true that he was basically solo at the time, and that Taka no Tsume was a special party... but apparently this special party was headed for Kenny now.

"Don't be with me.for I'm only one of the adventurers that often happens around here."
"No, I'm an adventurer, too,"

　Runo waved his hand with a wry smile at Ray's voice.

"Don't do that. We defeated Oak King in a one-on-one battle in the Oak village, and for his achievements, he went from rank G to E.Soon afterwards, he took the special exam and cleared it in one shot, and now he's Rank D. Rumors are spreading that he's the fastest-up adventurer in the guild of Guillum, and after all, you're accompanied by the Gryphon of Rank A Monster."
"...that's not the case?"

　Ray, who did not care much about his rumors, only returned as if nothing had happened to him.

"This... well, that's why it's so famous."

　Reno shakes his head, sighing at Ray's appearance.

"And what do you want in the guild today? I don't think you're here to receive a request."
"Oh, in exchange for the monster's material and the part of the expedition.There was a monster's corpse that was too much for me to strip off by myself, and I just asked the guild to strip it off.""Why? Where did you kill so many monsters?"

　When Reno is interested in hearing that it is a huge number of monsters to strip off, Ray replies with a wry smile.

"It's a dungeon.You and that goblin's mouth is watering."
"...Really? You're solo, aren't you? If there was a Gryphon, would you have gone down to the dungeon alone?"
"No, I've got a request for a nomination.as a bodyguard.And he told me that he could do whatever he wanted to do with all the monsters he had knocked down."
"Well... I had a very generous client.And what was the monster's corpse, and that number was hard to bring?"

　Reno's eyes flash when he smells gold and asks Ray.But Ray, breathing at the scene, showed Mistyling in his right arm.

"Did you forget? I have an item box.All the bodies of the fallen monster are in this bracelet.Fortunately, there is no time in this item box.It's not going to rot, so it's a relief."
"...I see. By the way, how much is the reward for the stripping?"
"What? Are you going to take it? No, I'll be saved."

　They are acquaintances, and considering their previous encounters, they look with a little hope that Ray and Lenora will not embezzle the material they were worried about.
　Ray literally dismissed the party hawk's claws, which he had been working with until a little while ago, because he was confident in their fighting power.If I thought about what would happen if I had a grudge, I wouldn't be able to act rashly.But Reno shrugs lightly at such a low-hanging question.

"It depends on the reward.And if you're saying it's too much for yourself, it's hard for you to do it alone."

　When Lenora breathes out at the words and tries to say something, she comes back.

"Oh, Mr. Loono? Oh, now that you mention it, you knew each other."

　For a moment, Lenora looked bewildered by the combination of Rey and Reno, but she immediately smiled and bowed to him before turning to Rey.

"Regarding the material stripping, Ray-san, I can't decide which rank to set because it's the first time I've ever seen from a large number of monsters."
"...was it such a difficult request?"
"Yes, sir,"Even Rank H adventurers can do this if they think only of stripping the material.Also, the reward is quite large, so if you post it as a low-rank request, you'll probably see a lot of applicants... most of them probably don't have the experience of stripping the materials of Rank C monsters.But when I put up a request for a Rank C adventurer, I was told that it would be too cheap to have a gold coin for all of us to strip off the material from a large number of monsters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Ray opens his mouth, breathing a little when he sees Lenora bowing apologetically.

"Then you won't accept my request?"
"Oh, no. Of course, I'll accept it.However, since there is no precedent in our guild, I think we will contact other guilds to see if there were any similar requests, and then post the request form...is that OK?"
"...well, fortunately, if you put it in the item box, the monster's body won't rot.So, please, but if possible, please decide the order as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir... I'm sorry for taking your time."
"Well, there's nothing like the first.Look, Lenora doesn't really care."Perhaps he didn't like the depressed atmosphere, but Reno said so in a playful tone, and he understood it.Lenora, with a smile on her face, went on talking together for a while.
　It can be said that Kenny was envious of Lenora in a way.
