He wore a cloak that seemed to me to be a wizard, and a long cane in his hand. and gave off an atmosphere of experience as a wizard.
　Ray is probably in his fifties, with a long beard growing around his chest. His face was wrinkled, but it also suited the man's wizardly air.
　a wizardly wizard That was the impression Ray had on Seith, the guildmaster of the city of Barr.
　And Seith is also shocked to see Ray.

(Is this magical power... really human?)

　The boy in front of him, apparently ordinary at first sight... ...or, no, his small, robed body is nothing but delicate compared to the warriors. Even the robe around it looks like something used by a running wizard, as is often the case around it. But...

(I can't believe I'm so false.)

　At first glance, he seems to be only a fledgling wizard, but he has more than a certain level of ability. Seith, for example, the guildmaster of the city of Barr.

(That robe has a cover‐up effect. In other words, it's such a product that you have to cover up its effect. And what you have on your feet is slapenil shoes that can move at high speed and kick in the sky. The bracelet on the left arm must be some kind of magic item. And the bracelet of the right hand is an item box.)

　It is understandable that the boy standing in front of us is not an ordinary thing to look at for a few seconds. Above all, the magical powers felt by the boy himself are enormous. Yes, as if it were a reminder of the first time I saw the sea.

"... Guildmaster?"

　The receptionist looks at Ray in surprise and calls out mysteriously to Seith.

"Oh, no. I'm sorry. Ray, what? 儂 is Seith, the guildmaster of this town of Barr. I've heard from Marina. Thank you for coming."
"Tell me...

　Ray asks, holding back his extended hand.
　In response to Ray's question, Seith nods slightly.

"The guildmasters can contact each other individually. and I heard it when you left the city of Gilm."
"... oh,"

　Understanding why Sazanas had his information while blocking the city, Ray murmurs in a small voice of conviction.

"Well, I'd like to hear a lot about the town of Gilm, but unfortunately that's far from it now. Would you mind taking out the powder of the Aurani grass that I brought to you at once?"
"No problem," Where is it?"
"Please come before the request board." If you call a pharmacist or alchemist there, you'll immediately start making the medicine."

　He nodded to Seith's words, and immediately moved to the front of the request board, taking out wooden boxes filled with small bottles of Aurani powder from Mistilling. Take out other relief supplies as well, such as magic restorative parts, parts to heal injuries, or other ingredients to cure the fever.

"Oh, I am glad to have the powder of the Aurani grass individually. The recipe itself is almost the same, but the magic that can be applied to making the medicine cannot be made in large quantities at once. So I'm going to put together a few servings of it, but... well, it's a marina."

　nod admiringly
　When I heard the explanation, I was convinced why the powder of the Aurani grass was divided into portions, and the last thing I took out was a huge pot given to me by Dischott.

"...what about this?"

　The very appetizing smell of the pot attracts the attention of the staff in the guild. Then Seith, who was closest to Ray, asks interestingly.

"It's a dish that has recently been made in the town of Gilm. First of all, the members here will be busy in various ways, so I hope they can improve their stamina by eating this."

　Serve a bowl of soup with meat and vegetables and a generous amount of udon on it and hand it out to the chase with a fork.
　Normally, if you leave udon in the soup, it will stretch out and lose its taste, but that's the mistling. Dischott brought it to the guild right after the meal was finished, so the udon was still very rich.

"What is this slender thing?"
"It's called udon, and it's only recently developed in guillem."

　It's right to describe it as a few days ago rather than just recently, but of course Seis shouldn't understand that.
　They roll up the ingredients with a fork and bring them to their mouths, something they've never seen before.

"...it's delicious,
"I'm glad it was in my mouth." Well, if you want to eat authentic food, please look for it when you go to Gilmoo. ...you know, too. There's only one pot to be had."

　Ray's words bring together the guildmaster Seith's deliciousness, as well as our own guild staff.
　Serve them on a soup plate and give them to them with a fork.
　For a few days or so, the city was blocked and food was rationed. Naturally, as long as we don't know how long we have to blockade it, we can't distribute enough food to eat. Therefore, it was not so bad as to be called starvation, but it was still impossible to overlook the opportunity to eat due to psychogenic problems.
　And it was not just the guild staff, but the pharmacists and alchemists who came to pick up the materials Ray had brought. When each of them eats a cup or two and becomes full, they return to their workshop with powder of Aurani grass and other necessary supplies to make the medicine.

"Well, Ray, you said. Will you come for a moment?"

　As Seith watches the huge pot empty, Guild officials call out to Ray, who is storing the dishes again in the mistling.

"What else do you have to do? I thought this was the end of my request."
"It is true that your request has been successfully completed by bringing the goods here. But I have another request to make."
"... a request?"

　Ray understands what the word says somehow.

(With my magical powers, there is almost no fear of developing a magical fever.) If that happens, maybe it's an investigation into this case. ...well, I can't get out of town for a week when the pathogens of the disease disappear from me. Is it better to have nothing to do in the meantime than idle time? though I am not the only one who came to this town for the first time.)

"Well, as far as your face goes, you can expect it." I want you to follow me."

　Seeing Rey's condition, he goes inside the counter, admiring her understanding. Ray, too, would exhale a little and follow suit.





"Well, I think you have a good idea why you came to this room,"

　Like the guildmaster's office in the city of Guild, Seith sits down on the sofa at the back of the counter and opens her mouths.

"Do you want us to find out what caused the epidemic?"
"Yes. It's very quick to guess."
"...but, as you know, I am an adventurer of the town of Gilm, and I only came here an hour ago. Even if I were to find out the cause of the spread of the fever in this city, it would be very difficult to find out.""Of course, I'll help you properly. I'll have the deputy lord of the town meet me later, and I think I'll have someone like my assistant."

　Both of them remain silent and wait for each other.
　But in terms of life experience, Ray is no match for Seith. So it was Ray who opened his mouth first.

"Is this a request?"
"Well, of course you can take it as a request."
"And what's the reward? It's such a request that we might be able to save this city from a crisis. even if you think you'll get the right thing?"

　As an adventurer, Seith, the guildmaster of the city of Barr, also nods to the question.

"It's only natural that an adventurer takes on a job for a reward. ...but as you can see, this city is in a state of emergency. Even if the case of witchcraft is settled, there will be a shortage of money. In light of that, it would be anything other than money -- would it matter?"

　Seith asks Ray to see, but Ray nods without hesitation for a few seconds.

"I don't spend that much money, even if I have money, so personally, I would appreciate it if you could."

　Ray, who doesn't have to worry about the wear and tear of his weapons and armor, has an overwhelming financial advantage over other adventurers. It's not uncommon for other adventurers to lose more than half of their commissions to replace broken weapons and protective equipment, or to repair, adjust, maintain, etc. Sometimes you need more money than you earn if you're not good at it.
　Ray, who doesn't have to worry about it at all, spends money on the hotel and buys and sells food together with the set. It's just a book for the knowledge you need for your adventure, or a rather convenient tool to buy out of curiosity. In spite of that, he has succeeded in making big jobs and nominations, and he has a lot of money to spare by selling the materials of the fallen monster, the parts to prove his defeat, and the magical stones that are not used to absorb the magic.

"I see. The reward I can give you would be 儂's treasured magic items or something like that, but what do you think?"
"... exactly what magic items?"
"Well, wait a minute,"

　Say so, Sace begins to search the shelves in his office, but eventually takes out a dagger and brings it.
　The sheath containing the blade of a dagger is embedded with small but several blue jewels. At a glance it was something that I could understand as worthwhile. However, the value was strictly a work of art, and it didn't seem to be a kind of magic item that could be used in actual warfare like Ray's.
　You must have seen the disappointed face. Seith places the dagger on the table with a smile on her face.

"You look disappointed, apparently.
"""Personally, I can say that collecting magic items is my hobby, but it is strictly limited to magic items that can be used in actual warfare." I'm not interested in magic items as works of art."

　While listening to Ray's words, Seith hands the dagger to him with a smile on her face.

"This dagger certainly won't work in action. But it must be the most useful thing to live as an adventurer."
"...any use?"
"Well, it's a trial. and with that magic -- oh, wait a minute."

　Hand over the dagger and place the glass on the table in front of Ray.

"...what should I do with this glass?"

　Ray muttered in a bewildered tone, but Seith looked at the dagger regardless.

"Take it out of the sheath, and put the tip of the sword towards the cup, and let the magic pass through the dagger."

　a ray that pulls out a dagger at the urging of
　The dagger was as white and beautiful as the decoration of the sheath. The pale bluish blade shines beautifully.
　As Seith tells him, he points the point of the dagger at the cup and passes it through magic.
　Then the next moment...
　Scratch! Scratch!
　little by little at first Then, gradually, water flowed out of the point of the sword.

"This is..."
"A flowing dagger. It's literally a magic item that makes water through magic. but it seems that you are not quite fit for water."
"Isn't water fit?"

　Ray himself understood that. You can say that my magic is specializing in flames.
　Even so, when people say that they are not fit, they frown slightly because it is not interesting. Seeing Ray like that, Seith smiles involuntarily.

"Hahaha! Even if you have such a powerful magical power, you still seem to have a problem. Do you have a moment?"
"Huh? Yes,"

　a ray that hands a flowing dagger into the extended hand
　When Sace received it, he put another glass on the table on the floor a little further away...

"If you have the aptitude for water, you can do such a trick. -- oh!"

　a sace that wields a flowing dagger with magic Then the next moment the water leaped out of the point of the dagger and shook it down like a whip... the next moment he broke the glass.

"This is... certainly great,"

　Ray muttering unintentionally when he sees what can be called a running water whip.

"Well, I don't think you can use it as a weapon, but you can give it to your companions at some point in time. Or, as you have used it, when you have to take a night out or rest at some request, you won't have to run out of water anymore. Ah, let me tell you, the water made from this flowing dagger changes its taste depending on the magic of the person who activated it. Perhaps a man of such magical powers as you will produce quite good quality water like a spring in a mountain water. ...what do you think? I think it's enough to pay for your request."

　I nodded to the words and tried to say when I was asked. Suddenly the door of the office was opened, and a somewhat dumbfounded voice echoed around me.

"What are you doing in such an emergency?"
