180 0180th episode



the edge of the kingdom of Milliana The city, rather closer to the frontier than to the center, was now definitely on its way to ruin.
 Nearly 30 percent of the city's inhabitants have fallen asleep from fever. The rest of the population is desperately caring for them, but it's only a relief, and the disease is slowly but surely spreading.
 Yes, the current epidemic in this city was originally a disease that should never have occurred in this area. a disease that originally occurs only in hot and humid areas throughout the year For some reason, many people are now developing in this town.
 There were some people who knew about the disease, but it was only about 10 hours ago that the name of the disease was revealed based on the assumption that it could not develop in this area. He then tried to ask pharmacists and alchemists for a drug that could be said to be a specific remedy for the disease... and found that there was not enough material to make the drug.
 Pharmacists and alchemists are the ones to blame. But no one could blame the disease, also known as "magic fever," for it.

"...and what's missing?"

 Deerlogo, the acting lord governing the city of Barr, asks the elderly man in front of him painfully.
 His name is Seith. He is the guildmaster of the city of Barr's adventurer Guild and, at the same time, a great wizard, a close friend and partner of Deerlogo.

"Aurani grass, a powder made from dried grass that grows only in magical areas." That's the main ingredient in making medicine to control the fever."
"...the aurani grass. Grass that grows only in magical areas. Where exactly would that be?"
"Well, the nearest one from here is probably the town of Gillum with the Devil Forest nearby."
"Is it the town of Gilm?" . . . . I suppose the guild had the means to communicate with each other?"
"Well, I thought so, but ... is it OK? The lord of this town belongs to the aristocracy. and if you ask the guild in the town governed by Count Larcks, who is the principal figure of the Neutralists, you may blame your lord."

 As the guildmaster muttered, Deerlogo clapped his fist forcefully against the table.

"I don't know how to communicate with each other! I can't save those who are suffering from diseases now, but I can't save them. What's the acting lord? I'll take all the responsibility!"
"…I see. Contact the guildmaster of the city of Guillum at once. But..."

 a guildmaster who says that much and stops talking.
 Deerlog knew what his best friend in front of him wanted to say. The city of Gillum, which is also the frontier of the Kingdom of Milliana, from this city of Barr. The distance is hopelessly far. half a month after the successful movement of the business force A seasoned adventurer runs like a horse for ten days.
 It is possible to inform you of the current state of the city immediately using the magic items in the guild, but considering how long it will take to collect the powder of the Aurani grass to get to this city...

"At least 40 percent of them survive."

 Deerlogo's wry expression was full of regret.

"It can't be helped," It's a matter of urgency now. 儂Let's get in touch with the town of Gilm at once. I can't believe I owe her this way."
"Oh, I owe you that much, and if I can settle the matter, I'll do anything for you."

 Deerlogo says with a smile, as if blowing out the gloomy air.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about this, at any rate." I'll excuse myself."
"Oh, I'll use the authority of acting lords to block the city so that the disease won't spread any further. We can't spread this disease to other towns. As for the food, we'll get by with what we have in store."

 Sayce nods softly and leaves the office with a light gesture that no wizard in his fifties can see.
 Seeing off such a close friend, Diarlogo struck the office desk again with his fist.





"Well, what shall I do with this magical stone?"

 the dusk wheat-tei where Ray is a regular lodger Lying down on the bed, he looks at the two magical stones from the mistling.
 The two were magical stones obtained the day before by dismantling Gamerion in a demolition shed in Hasta. Magical stones with a diameter of about 5 cm are usually gamelions, and those with a diameter of about twice as large as 10 cm are rare species.
 Usually, the size of the species and the size of the rare species is about three times larger, but for some reason the magical stones are about twice as large. Although he doubted it, he was convinced that it was... Ray was worried about how to use the magical stone.
 One reason Ray uses magic stones is that he naturally makes Seto and Desize acquire skills through the art of course. If this was a magical stone for two ordinary gamerions, you would have never hesitated, as you could normally use one for set and one for death size. But one of the magical stones in front of Ray is a rare species.

"Even when I was in goblin, I couldn't master the skills with ordinary goblin magic stones, but in rare cases I could master the firebreath. In other words, it is better to think of ordinary species and rare species of magical stones as different monsters. Then... well, if you think it safe, should you give Seto a rare kind of magical stone?"

 Ray was tossing around on the bed wondering what to do. But he stopped his movement, raised his upper body, and turned his gaze toward the door.
 The gaze is sharper than it was a few seconds ago when I was wondering what to do with the magical stone.
 Yes, I heard someone running up the stairs.

(...who is it? I don't think it's an attack when it comes to making loud footsteps.) Since it is already past noon, there must not be many people left in the inn.)

 glance out of the window
 "I don't know the clear outside temperature because I'm inside the inn, but I can still hear the sound of wind shaking the windows." "Fortunately, Wheat-tei at dusk is a luxury inn and has magic items for heating, so as long as I was in the room, it was easy to imagine that it would be even colder outside."
 It may snow at any time, but it's still autumn, so adventurers are entering a final push to get out of winter. If you don't make money by working at this time of year, everyone is working hard to kill monsters and do something in the snow.
 In the meantime, Ray, who had saved enough money to play and live for nearly a few years, was wondering what to do when he saw the magical stones he had obtained from the demolition of Gamerion and its rare species the day before...

"Well, I'm sure you'll have something to do with me anyway,"

 mutter with a sigh, wear slapnil shoes, and wear dragon robes.
 In this room, the death size, which is likely to cause damage if swung around, is not removed from the mistling, but is ready with a misril knife that is already familiar to the waist. Get ready to intercept whoever attacks you...
 Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
 open one's mouth slightly frowning at the sound that is a little too loud to call a knock.

"Who is it?"
"It's me, Lenora!"
"... Lenora?"

 When I opened the door, muttering somewhat offbeat, it was indeed Ray's familiar Guild receptionist.
 He must have been running in such a hurry. The ponytail is shaking to the violent breath.
 First of all, Ray hands the glass to Lenora from the jug in the room.

"Oh, thank you, thank you,"
"And what's wrong with you? Do you want to buy Gamerion materials?"Lenora is weak to rush to her room, but she asks because she couldn't think of anything else.
 But Lenora swings her head hurriedly when she drains a glass of water in one gulp.

"No. The guildmaster asks Mr. Ray to appear."
"... Guildmaster?"

 I muttered, but Ray himself went to the guild, but never met the guildmaster of the city of Guild. I wonder why the guildmaster, who doesn't even know his face, is calling him. Lenora reopens her mouth, placing the finished glass on the table in the room.

"There seems to be some sort of emergency, and they want me to bring Ray to the guild as soon as possible. Do you really not have any idea?"
"Oh, that's the big fuss these days... maybe you're not talking about the rare species of Gamerion, are you? Then I don't know why they're called out."

 Past my mind was Gamerion, who was over 8 meters tall. If there was any meaning in killing that Gamerion.

"I don't know, but anyway, hurry up! Oh, not just Ray but also Seto."
"...and Seto?"

(Then it wouldn't be about Gamerion. Even though it's a rare species, it's nothing more than a Rank B monster. But then I could not understand the reason why he called me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

 Nothing is more frightening than an unknown summons. "Even so, I could not ignore the direct invitation of the guildmaster, so I got up from the bed where I was sitting with a small sigh."

"All right, so will Seto. I'll get it ready right away."
"I have been told by Mr. Ray to come back to the guild as soon as possible, but please hurry as possible!"

 He must be in a great hurry. I said that quickly and left the room without hearing Ray's answer.
 Watching her back, Ray also heads down to Sett, feeling a subtle sense of what is waiting in the guild.





"...what really happened?"
"Glu?"

 Ray came to the guild with Seto, as Lenora told him. But the guild gave off an unusual atmosphere from the outside.
 Specifically, there is a great deal of people coming in and out of the guild. Despite this time when most adventurers would have asked for it.
 Next to Ray muttering like that, Seto also tilts his head, singing in his throat.

"Well, all right. I'm going to the guild for now, so Seto, please wait outside as usual."
"Grull".

 a set nodding to Ray's words With his ability as a Gryphon and his hairline, this level of cold doesn't seem to bother him at all, and he lays down in his usual place without any particular complaint.

"I've probably had some kind of trouble with you trying to get Seto in. You'll probably have your turn, so please take good care of me then."

 Scratch Seto's head for a few seconds as he says so, and stroke Seto, who rubs his head against him, before heading for the guild.
 And what Ray saw in the guild was...

"How much powder of the Aurani grass!"
"I've been to the tool shops, alchemists, or pharmacists in the streets of Gilm's town.
"Wait! We must make some preparations in case something happens to this city. You should send it to about 70 to 80 percent."
"But in the town over there..."
"It's all right. If you count the number of inhabitants over there, about 70% of the stock in this city should be enough for the inhabitants of Barr.
"For now, we're going to collect the aurani grass, and send us a few parties afterwards."
"All right. I'll make an urgent request to an adventurer who's available as soon as soon as possible."

 The guild's staff, or adventurers, were in a commotion as if they were possessed by something.

"... what really happened?"

 Ray mutters dumbfounded at the appearance.
 The biggest uproar in the guild so far was when the oak settlement was discovered, but the current situation is full of much more noise.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," This way, this way!"

 Working busily at the counter, Lenora finds Ray and screams.
 Hearing the voice, several adventurers and guild officials turn to Ray, but soon return to their jobs as if they were far from it.

"Come here, please," I'll take you to the guildmaster's office in a minute."

 Lenora pulls a ray into the counter.
 At such a counter, Kenny would certainly interfere when Ray and Lenora were talking, but Kenny would not be able to afford to pay attention to Ray, so he would return to his job with just a small wave.

"...what happened?"

 They are put inside the counter and taken to the back by Lenora, who shakes his head slightly.

"As for that matter, I'd like to speak to the guildmaster." only that something extraordinary had happened."

 As you turn it back, go up the stairs at the back of the counter. And beyond that was a door.

(…is it separated from the conference room that we usually use?) No, if it's a guildmaster's room, it's only natural.)

 Watching Lenora knock on the door, muttering inwardly.

"My name is Lenora, Guildmaster. I've taken Ray with me."
"Yes, I've been waiting," Come in."

 Rey reacts with a twitch to the voice coming from inside.
 After all, her voice was as cool as the word guildmaster could have imagined. Yes, like a bell.

"Excuse me,"

 Lenora opens the door and urges Ray to enter while Ray rubs the discomfort inside him.
 And it was a brown-skinned woman who greeted Ray as he walked in. In evidence that she is not just a woman, her ears are long and pointed compared to ordinary people.

"Dark elf".

 Ray's muttering echoed through the guildmaster's office, where the noise on the ground floor was as silent as a lie.
