The report on Harpy's nest was over, and by the time he came out of the lord's house, the surroundings had already turned red from the sunset.
　Fluorocarbons open their mouths while gazing at the sunset.

"No, it took longer than I expected,"
"What are you saying?"Throw all the explanations at 儂 and レイ.You were just drinking tea in silence, and eating sweets."

　Blasso breathed in amazement.
　Next to him was Ray, who had been given the same explanation, who looked at CFC as if he were dumbfounded.
　Fluorocarbons, staring at each other in amazement, scratched their cheeks with a bad smile.

"I've never spoken to a nobleman before, and... it's best to leave it to the one you're used to, isn't it?"
"That's not the case,"
"I... well, it's not without it, but it's a recent event."

　Perhaps he thought the situation was unfavorable to their words, but Fluorocarbons spoke again, looking away.

"Well, Ray is in charge of flame ore, and Brasso knows about other ore, you know, I don't care."
"...that's enough.For the time being, the report has been settled for a while, and we will go to the guild to report on the achievement of our request."

　When Brasso speaks with a sigh of resignation, Ray finds Seto approaching from the back of the lord's residence.

"Grull".

　She approaches me with a song of satisfaction.When Ray sees something like sauce on the kuchibashi, he caresses Seto's head with a smile.

"I think you've been loved here, too.

　Judging from Seto's appearance, he stroked his head and turned his gaze to Blaso.

"And you said you'd go to the guild to report... what about flame ore?"

　Yes, a handful of flame ores brought back from Harpy's nest.Dusker allowed the Reys to take the flame ore as a reward for the report.

"Well... for a flame ore of that size, neither sell nor buy it.Shall we take this case to the blacksmith whom we were asked to do you think.
"I'm not pressed for money, so if possible I'll leave the flame ore as it is."I wish you would divide it into three equal parts."
"Well, what shall we do about it?"Ray seems to have no money to spare, but I and Blaso are not poor, but they can't afford it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Ray opens his mouth as if he thought of something at the scene of Fluorocarbons' troubles.

"Then why don't you judge how much it would cost to sell this flame ore, and I'll pay you two a third of it?"

　Fluorocarbons are worried about Ray's suggestion for a few seconds... and eventually nod.

"I have no problem with that.How about Brasso?"
"Well, well... certainly gold is hard to throw away, but flame ore is also..."

　Ray and Fluorocarbons were walking from the lord's residence to the city, looking at the troubled state of Blaso, but when they entered the bustling city, Ray, who had judged that they could not make a decision as it was, spoke.

"Then why don't you assess the flame ore first? Depending on the price, we can decide what to do with Brasso.""Well, well... I see.Surely it would serve as a guide for you if you had your profession appraised it."
"Then will that be the arms dealer?"

　Beyond Ray's gaze was an arms dealer about 10 meters away.Strangely enough, the shop refused to buy spears after receiving this request.

"Huh? Arms dealers are basically arms dealers, and it's blacksmiths who make weapons using ore, of course, because many of them are both arms dealers and blacksmiths..."
"Well, then we'd better have our acquaintance, a blacksmith, appraise us.If you go to a careless restaurant, you can get ripped off, but if you know each other, you wouldn't do that."
"I don't mind if you say that's better.Would it be all right if you could only appraise it and buy it for me.

　In some cases, Ray asks if it's because he knows each other that they get into trouble, but Fron shrugs at what he says and Brasso smiles.

"He's a serious man at work.That's why I've been appreciated by many people in a short period of time since I came to this city.I won't do such a dirty thing."
"...a blacksmith who has been here for a short time?"

　I was worried about some familiar words for a few seconds...

"Well, does the blacksmith have a child? His name is Kumito."

　Yes, he had saved a child who was involved in a little time-lapse, and the father of the child would have said that he was a blacksmith who had just come to the city of Gillum.Remembrance of this, he asks Brasso and Fluorocarbons.
　They open their eyes slightly to Ray's question.

"You know very well.Pamidor certainly has a son named Kumito."
"Oh, indeed,"No, I once helped him pass by a rascal."
"... a bad enough boy at your age."

　Ray smiled bitterly at Fluorocarbons muttering.

"Well, that's just the right thing to say.for Kumito had asked me to come and see him, and then... did I say Pamidor or go to the blacksmith?"
"Yes, I am a reliable blacksmith, and it would be helpful if you could do so."
"I have no objection.for if you have it appraised at a bad arms dealer, you may have to pay for it."

　Thus, after reporting to the guild that they had accomplished their request, they went to the smith's workshop where Pamidor was engaged.

"Then let's go to the guild early before dark."At this time of day, there will be more and more people bringing in reports of completion of the request."
"... well, that's inevitable.Time is the hour, so I can't even talk about people like that's why.
"I don't like crowds very much.There are many well-built men, especially adventurers."

　When he heard the conversation between Brasso and Fluorocarbons, Ray's words were leaked, and when he heard them, Fluorocarbons burst out almost reflexively.

"Well, yes, I am sure it is.and Ray's height would be completely buried among the avant-garde men.""Well, Ray doesn't mind saying that.Yes, fluorocarbon.Don't laugh at people's physical characteristics."
"No, but Ray, who has that much power, says he has a complex about his height... Oh, no.It doesn't look good on you know.
"...but I'm still bigger than Brasso, anyway."
"I don't think you'll be proud to be taller than the dwarf, 儂."

　Brasso breathes in spite of Ray's words.
　When I saw such a blasso, I soon came across a section of a busy main street in the city...

"Oh, it's Seto, isn't it?You're cute today, too.Here's a freshly baked skewer.The sauce tastes new, too."
"How about our bread for a little hunger before dinner?"There's plenty of meat in it."
"Ray, I've adjusted it as you told me before. Why don't you have some soup?"

　As soon as that happens, the shopkeepers who sell food at the open-air shop call out to Ray and Seto.

"Grull".

　and he ate the snacks offered to him by the vendors in the stall in one bite, with his voice ringing in his throat in a good mood.
　Ray smiles and pays the bill as if he couldn't help it, including his own.

"Wow, that's an uproar."
"...this was quite unexpected,"

　Fluorocarbons and Brasso are dumbfounded at the usual situation, but sometimes they buy skewers and follow Ray and Sett.Then he walked on, and by the time the guild came into sight, Ray and Sett were quite satisfied, and he collected the skewers with meat and paper wrapped in bread and threw them into a bucket of garbage that the stall had prepared.

"It's the first time I've ever felt full just walking here."
"If you have alcohol, you'll still be fine."

　As I said that, I went into the guild separately from Seto.

"Of course,"

　Ray breathes in spite of himself.The guild was filled with adventurers who had completed their requests and people who were enjoying themselves as if they had a party in the bar attached to which the guild had been attached.
　In the midst of this, they head towards the counter with a bloso at the top.
　Some drunkards approached Fluorocarbons on the way to try to persuade them, but they were all slapped in the side with Fluorocarbons' swords and sunk.It would have been at least a relief to have the sword in its sheath.

"Oh, Mr. Ray, and Mr. Fluorocarbons, too, welcome back to Mr. Brasso.From what it looks like, the request has been successfully completed."

　When Lenora sees them, she greets them with a happy smile.
　In this crowded atmosphere, it is a model of the receptionist to greet the adventurer who comes to inform him of the completion of his request.

"It was the conquest of Harpy, wasn't it?"

　Then, close your mouth, and then say the rest in a low voice so that the people around you can't hear it.

"In fact, the lord of the manor seems to have contacted the upper management of the guild.Normally, this kind of request for subjugation is completed only after ten days of observation after the subjugation is completed and there are no monsters to be subjugated, but this time, under the authority of the lord, we will approve the completion of the request immediately as a special exception... did you do anything again?"

　Lenora looked at Ray with dumbfounded eyes, but she looked away.
　It is impossible to say that flame ore was produced in a part of Harpy's den by the influence of the magic that he used.and the rareness of the meteorite crystals and emelost ores made it impossible to put more rings on them.「……」

　Lenora had been staring at Ray for a while, but he soon shook his head with a sigh as if nothing could be done.
　...but partly because of the presence of my colleague Kenny, a cat beast looking at him with envious eyes next door.

"Well, do you have any materials for Harpy, any proof of subjugation, or any magical stones?"
"I don't have one now.I came back to the city of Gillum in a little hurry, so I'll find Harpy's corpse in Ray's item-box."
"Well, we can buy them at any time.So that's the reward."

　Then Lenora handed him a cloth bag containing three gold coins, and Brasso received it, and his request for the subjugation of Harpy was completed.

"Oh, and Mr. Ray,"There were a few adventurers who wanted us to take orders to strip off the material, but I told them to meet again tomorrow, just in case."
"Well, then... I'd like to have an interview sometime after noon tomorrow.Can you use the conference room upstairs?"
"Yes, there is no problem.Then, I'll let the applicants know about it.However, please remember that you are an adventurer, so you may not necessarily be able to have an interview tomorrow.In that case, I think it'll be like winning first come first."
"Oh, that's all right,"
"Well, that's the way it goes.I'll be waiting for you shortly after noon tomorrow."

(Now, as for the matter of flame ore, is it finally a request to strip it off?I'm looking forward to it. I'm worried.-- what adventurers are coming, I don't know.

　I murmured in my heart, and all three of us left the counter because everything we had to do at the counter was over.
　Kenny watched Ray next to Lenora regretfully, but he seemed to have had no time to seduce Ray or invite him to dinner during this busy time, and he was doing his best to deal with the adventurers who came one after another.

"Well... you know, Ray, Fluorocarbons.Wouldn't it be a good idea to drop by?"

　Brasso's gaze, away from the counter, was at a bar inside the guild.
　Unlike the bar where Ray usually comes to the guild for a few hours, the bar today is so crowded that there is almost no place to sit.And, naturally, adventurers who successfully completed their request drink together like a banquet, or drink under the name of a self-reflection meeting that failed their request, and Brasso watches it enviously.
　However, Fluorocarbons cut off Blaso's plea.

"Don't be silly.You're going to go to Pamidor now.If you drink here, Pamidor's workshop will be closed."
"No, I won't tell you to drink anything to your heart's content.but one or two cups of Harpy have been completed."
"In your case, you're saying you can't do it because one or two drinks are enough! Here we go!"
"It hurts! Hey, Fluorocarbons.I wish you would stop pulling my ears!"

　Ray, who was looking at the two of them being led out of the guild in such a way, followed him.

"Hey, Brasso.Don't worry, I'll enjoy drinking for you, too."

　with the voice of a man who seemed to be an acquaintance of Brasso in his back.
