"Slip..."

 Ray opens his eyes on the bed in the morning sun, but the moment he tries to get up, he feels a dull pain in his head.

"When on earth did I go to bed?"

 While muttering, he looked around, holding his head.It was the room in the Wheat-tei at dusk, where Ray was staying.

"What happened? I went to the guild yesterday."

 Ray recalls his memories, and eventually meets Fluorocarbons, a female warrior in her mid-30s, and Brasso, a Dwarf.At the same time, he was recommended to drink sake that he was not so good at, and he could not refuse to drink it for several hours.

"Well, you were drunk.I suppose I should say that the bar in the guild was good.If it were a bar in the city, it would be highly likely that they would have been robbed or picked up."

 He gazed disdainfully at the morning sun as if it were a clear autumn day.

"This headache, this is a hangover.--should I take a day off to-day?"

 While frowning at the pain of self-assertion in his head, he poured water from a pitcher to a glass and drank a few glasses to quench his thirst.

"I heard that when I have a hangover, I want to drink miso soup... well, there's no way there is miso soup in this world."

 For the time being, he drinks water to make sure he has calmed down a little, wears dragon robes and slapnil shoes that had been removed before he knew it, and makes sure his arms are properly fitted with mysterious rings and sorcery bracelets... and if he is unlucky, he is chilling to find out that those magic items have been stolen.

"This is... should I do something about it?"

 While solidifying his image with the magic of fire that he can use in his mind, he takes the death size of the magic engine from the mystery ring and recites a spell.

'Fire, whoever touches you against my will, give you great remorse by the blazing fire.'

 With the words, a flame gathers on the blade of death size... ...the next moment, magic is invoked.

"The Flame of Repentance"

 As soon as the magic is activated, the flames go out as if they were seeping into the mistling.
 Against Ray's will, as per the spell...or he who tries to steal the mistling when he is unconscious as the day before, is baptized by the flame.though the power was not so simple as security.
 After that, they dressed themselves appropriately and went down to the first floor.
 Perhaps the peak has already passed.There were hardly any guests in the dining room, and a few people were eating late.
 While watching the situation, she sits on an empty seat, and Lana, the proprietress of the Wheat House, appears as if she were waiting for it.

"Good morning,"You seem to have been drunk yesterday, but are you all right?"

 As she spoke, Lana laid out a light breakfast on the table.Perhaps you understand that you have a hangover, but there are many light and watery things.

"Yesterday?"
"Renora-san and Kenny-san, both receptionists in the guild, brought us here.I had them carry me straight to my room."
"...when I go to the guild, I'll thank you."
"Yes, that would be better,"

 Lana nods with a smile and returns to work.and saw him off, and reached for breakfast.





"Oh, Mr. Ray,"Good morningAre you all right?"Lenora sees Ray in the guild and calls out to him. His face looks at Ray anxiously, but he nods as if nothing was the matter.

"When I woke up in the morning, I had a hangover and it was pretty tough, but I got better while I was eating breakfast."

(Thank you for Zepyle's technology)

 I didn't expect Zepail to be appreciated for his hangover, but Ray himself was seriously appreciating Zepail.

"And yesterday you carried me to the inn.That's a relief."

 I looked sideways thinking that Ray would bow, and then Kenny, too, but I couldn't see the cat-shaped subhuman who was supposed to always be next to Lenora.

"What about Kenny?"
"Oh, she would start this afternoon.If you have something to do at home, or something like that's why."
"Well, then tell Kenny that I was grateful when you came in the afternoon."
"Yes, I see.That's why.Actually, Mr. Ray has been called...

 Lenora opened her mouth apologetically, which was unusual for Lenora to do her job in a dashing manner.

"Call? I don't remember being called."
"Yes, we are aware of that.However, since it is a call from a person who has provided a reasonable amount of operating funds to the guild, we cannot help but tell them..."
"Why?"
"No, the guild has not been informed of anything.I just want you to call Mr. Ray."
"Who is it to be so rude?"

 Lenora frowns slightly at Rey's words.
 but the frowned eyebrows were not at Ray in front of him, but at the next moment at Ray's mouth.

"Mr. Bornter, the representative of the Azot Chamber of Commerce,"

 Azot Trading Co., Ltd.Bornter. If you ask me if I remember those two names, of course I did.for it was only yesterday that I heard the name.

"I've heard he's doing something like the manager of an arms dealer in this town,"
"Yes, I am sure,"Well, there are many rumors about it, but... most of the weapons that go into the city of Guild are in the hands of the Azot merchants."
"And that great Azot merchant wanted me to do something,"
"It seems so.Of course, this is only a one-sided request from the other side, and the guild has no right to force the registered adventurers to do so, so it is up to Ray to decide whether to accept the call."

 Nevertheless, Lenora's expression clearly showed that he had better respond to the call.It was a summons from a person who had more power than that in the city of Gilm.Lenora's honest feelings were that if he refused, he wouldn't know what kind of harassment he would face.
 Judging from Lenora's expression, Ray nods slightly after thinking about it for a few seconds.

"I don't know what I have to do yet, but I don't think I need to be humble.There are many rumors, but in the end, I can't say anything until I see him.All right, I'll go and see... can you tell me the house of that merchant called Bornter?"
"Oh, yes. Here you go."

 I guess he meant to talk when Ray came to the guild.A map of where Bornter's mansion was already available in Lenora's hand.
 Rey realizes that the characters on the map are Lenora's handwriting, which he has seen several times, and then bows small after receiving them."I'm sorry,"
"No, no! It's impossible to call adventurers to your house through guilds, even though it's not a nomination request in the first place.Well... please be careful.He's a man with a lot of bad rumors."
"Oh, I heard about that from two of the Crushers yesterday. ... Come to think of it, what happened to them after that?"
"Why... after Mr. Ray got drunk, I went to his request?"
"...after that?"
"Yes. Well, not many people drink that much before asking, but there are still a few people who drink a few drinks before going to ask."
"...I see,"

 He breathed as if he had no words already, and shook his head slightly as if he had recovered his mind.

"At any rate, this map was saved.Then I'll be right there."
"Yes, be careful. Oh, please wait a little longer for the stripping request."
"All right,"

 Lenora bowed her head, but still looked at Ray anxiously.

(...I can't tell Kenny about this.)

 mutter inwardly.These days, Kenny is strangely absorbed in Ray even if you look at him from the side.If I hear that he was summoned directly by the president of the unpopular Azot Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that there will be a great deal of outbursts.

(Well, I don't understand that feeling either.)

 It is true that the Azot Chamber of Commerce has made a large donation to the guild.However, I cannot help but feel uncomfortable if I am forced to do so on this occasion.However, in the end, if you have a certain amount of demands, you have to listen to the sadness that you are giving away the funds for your activities.
 May there be no strange trouble between Ray and Azot.Lenora could only pray that way in her heart.





 It was seen by Ray, who had left the Adventurer's Guild to pick up Sett, who was supposed to be waiting for him in the carriage and animal space as usual.That's...

"Seto-chan is cute today, too.Yes, eat this, too."
"Grull".

 in the image of a mire-dog, stroking Seto's head and back, holding a large amount of food sold at stalls around the area to eat sandwiches and skewers.

"Mileine... you have been to see Sett a lot lately, and have you broken up the scorching wind?"

 Usually, when I'm concerned about Seto, I'm late to notice Ray's presence, but I guess I couldn't miss that, and he stung his mouth and threw me a sandwich with meats, cheese, and leafy vegetables sandwiched between them.

"Oops!"

 Catch it so as not to crush it and bite it when the sauce drips down.
 The outside was savory, but the meat inside was juicy, and the juices and sauces overflowed together to amuse Ray's tongue.

"Well, can you not say something that's not lucky? We've been busy lately, so we've decided to take a week off. Or, don't eat it without permission.It's a popular dish."

 He quickly took the sandwich into his mouth, regardless of the Mire Dog, who was staring at him.

"Then don't throw it.If it hadn't been me, I'd have either fallen to the ground or been crushed."All the sandwiches were already in Ray's stomach, muttering dumbfounded.

"And will Ray ask you to do that?"

 He shook his head slightly at the Mire Dog, who asked him, stroking Seto's back with a wistful smile.

"I don't know.I don't mean to say, but the president of the Azot Chamber of Commerce called me."
"... what have you done?"
"No, nothing in particular, but... it seems to be rumored about me these days.and you might want to see it with your own eyes, or something like that."
"...are you all right? The Azot trade isn't very popular, is it?"
"Well, the adventurer I met yesterday said that, too. ... So, Seto. What do you do? Do you want to go with me?"

 When Ray called out to Seto, who was eating a sandwich, he was naturally ready to stand up.

"Maybe you should stop taking Seto with you?"

 and was stopped by a Mile Dog.

"Why? I'm sure they've heard that I'm with Seto, and that's probably the reason why I'm called?"
"Well, that may be the cause, but there's a possibility that we'll do something about Seto-chan...

 The Mire Dog says, frowning faintly.It was obvious from the appearance that even the Miredog had no good impression of the Azot trade.

"Guru..."

 Perhaps he was worried when he saw the dog, and Seto chirps in his throat as if he were not feeling well.

"Are you going to do that? That's the kind of celebrity that says Seto is the city of Gilm.No, I'm not a person.If you try to poke something into the set, you'll only antagonize the people of the city, won't you?"
"Well, I think so, too, but it's more of a Volunter than the Azot Chamber that could do that without scruple."

 The Mire Dog, breathing softly, reopened its mouth.

"A few years ago an adventurer had a quarrel with the Azot Chamber.I think it started with a mistake in contacting him about his request for a bodyguard, or something like that, killing a fellow adventurer by a monster... ...then put pressure on him not to sell his weapons by turning his hand behind his back.You know how important weapons are to adventurers, and the adventurer, who could not take care of them, immediately made a noise... and eventually left the city."
"That's a shameful,"

 muttered Ray in spite of the words of the Mire Dog.
 Don't sell weapons to adventurers.That means you will no longer be able to work as an adventurer.If the adventurer had been a wizard, what would he have done?But if he was like a warrior with heavy wear and tear of arms...

"That's why you shouldn't take Seto with you so that you can't blame him."
"... yes, sir.I beg your pardon, but will you wait here for a moment?"
"Grull".She nodded, looking anxiously at Ray.
