"Mr. Ray!"

　When Lenora sees Ray in the guild, she screams unconsciously.
　And those around him who heard the cry were almost reflexively looking at the guild's entrance.
　He was there, as usual, wearing robes. At first glance he looked small and delicate, but inside he had a personality that was far from cute.
　Ray heads to the counter as usual, without worrying about the eyes of the people around him, I don't think I've been away from the town of Gilm for about 10 days.
　Lenora greets him with a happy smile, while Kenny, next to him, looks delighted.

"Ray!"

　They jump over the counter and hug Rey using their unique physical abilities.

"Were you okay? Aren't you hurt? Oh, I'm sick, not injured. Is there nothing wrong with your body?"

　Kenny, touching Ray's body from the top of his dragon robe, asks without pause.
　He pats Kenny on the shoulder a little higher than himself with a wry smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I have no problem at all. Of course, you can rest assured of the magical fever as long as it's been a week."
"I'm glad..."

　the very moment of relief Lenora's fist is dropped on Kenny's cat ears.

"It hurts! What are you doing all of a sudden?"
"What are you going to do?" What are you thinking about jumping over the counter all of a sudden? It's not for the receptionist, who is also the guild's sign."
"It can't be helped, Mr. Ray has come back safe. Wouldn't it be all right if I were a little loose?"
"I don't really care if it's off duty or break time. But you're working as a receptionist, aren't you?"
"...huh,"

　Kenny looks troublesome as he approaches Lenora with a serious look on his face.
　But the next moment, with a grin around his mouth, he blatantly looks at Lenora's chest.
　Lenora must have felt embarrassed when she looked at me as if it was right to describe it as a hole. cover one's chest with one's hands
　As she said, the receptionist is the face of a guild. Naturally, the receptionist is required to dress appropriately. In Lenora's case, she wore a dress-like outfit that made her feel feminine, even in neat clothes. ...but Kenny says he's trying to hide it because he doesn't have confidence in his bodyline.
　I looked straight at Lenora's chest in that outfit... and then I looked at my chest, which was more exciting than Lenora's.

"Phew."

　At the same time, he smiled triumphantly.

"d*mn, ... kind of Kenny." Why did I just laugh at you?"
"What? I'm not laughing at all?" Yes, yes. I don't feel sorry for someone who despaired of his poor bodyline."
"Who's poor! I'm normal, normal!"

　Ray watches the usual conversation with a small smile.
　I felt keenly that I had returned to my place because of my usual communication.
　However, he never had time to watch the conversation in front of him, so he put his hand on their shoulders and opened his mouth.

"And I'd like to report to the guildmaster what happened about the city of Barr. Can you get in touch with him?"
"Hey, Kenny! ... Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Wait a minute, please. I'll be in touch with the guildmaster soon!"

　Lenora says so in a flurry, misrepresenting her interaction with Kenny and telling Ray.
　A voice echoes into the guild as we take a step towards the back of the counter.

"Oh, if you think it's noisy," You're back at last."

　The voice was by no means loud. But it was strangely in the ear of everyone there.
　It was Marina Ariantha, the guildmaster of the city of Guilm, who had silvery hair, rich body lines and a flashy dress reminiscent of an evening dress.

"Guildmaster!? Yes, I'm sorry. I was going to go and let you know that Ray is back."
"Yes, I hear so," Before that, you two showed me an interesting skit."

　Lenora blushes with shame when she learns that she has been asked or seen interacting with Kenny.
　Lenora's smile gently caresses her head and then opens her mouth.

"You may not be very busy as a guild in winter, but your work as a receptionist is well done. ... Kenny, so are you."
"Yes, yes!"

　Even Kenny, who brags about his charms, has no chance of winning in front of Marina. He quietly goes back to the counter without being reckless enough to defy the opponent he can't beat in his field.
　After watching the situation, Marina turns her long eyes to Ray.

"Welcome home," I'd like to hear a story about the town of Barr, so could you come to my room?"

　Marina invites you to her office with a seductive or seductive gesture.
　The adventurers in the guild are fascinated, Lenora blushes red and Kenny puffs up somewhat discontented.

"Oh, I have a lot of things to report on, so it would be helpful if you could."

　Ray also nodded to Marina and followed her to her office.





"Sit down, then," I'll get you some tea now."

　As soon as she arrived at her office, Marina began to make tea herself by pushing her forward to sit on the sofa.
　When Marina sees herself happily preparing tea, she sits on the sofa without saying a word, even though she thinks it's not her job.
　Then, after about five minutes, Ray was sitting in front of him with steaming tea and cookies. 　
　Marina is also sitting across from Ray and sipping tea.

"…and you wanted to hear me talk." I'll give it back before that."

　Lay the map from the mistling on the table.
　The map was handed over even though he could have been accused. Ray was grateful for all the important things and for the fact that the map allowed him to head straight to the city of Barr without hesitation.

"I have certainly received it," Was it of any useful?"
"Oh, this map saved me from getting lost.""Yes, I'm glad to hear that. Now, as for what I'm talking about over there... Actually, I've heard about most of the situation directly from Seith, so it's a supplement to that."

　Marina glances at the crystal on her desk. Following the gaze, Ray nods convincingly.

"I see. Is it a magic item that I can get in touch with them directly?"

　It was probably because Ray himself had the magic item of the pair of obes he got from Rich Grimm.

(Come to think of it, I haven't talked to Grimm since Dungeon.) It might not be a bad idea to contact them later.)

　That's how Ray thinks, but encourages Marina to continue.

"Oh, now you understand," ...and I'd like to ask you just in case. Was it really the core of the dungeon that you saw?"
"I can't say for sure because I didn't see it in person in the dungeon, but judging by the magic and atmosphere I felt."
"I mean, can't you say that for sure?"

　a small nod to Marina's words
　To be precise, Zepyle's knowledge is certain to say so, but I can't say anything about it. However, if Elena and Arra tell you the truth, you will be in a lot of trouble. I had no choice but to nod at that judgment.

"... well, that's all right." I don't think you need to lie, and I think it's the core of the dungeon."

　After that, Ray continues to ask various details and answer them.
　It was more like Marina was confirming the consistency of what she had heard from Seith than listening.
　Then, after about half an hour, he takes the spear on the wall and hands it to Ray.

"Thank you for your hard work. I acknowledge that this request has been accomplished. ...well, to be exact, as long as I got a sign from Seis that the request was complete, I would have achieved it there. Here it is. It's my promised reward."

　Ray gazing at the handed spear.
　Everything, including the blade at the tip and the handle, is dyed deep green. This was the second time I had actually had a thorn spear, but it was still so beautiful that I could say it was a work of art.
　For a minute or so I gazed at the spear and then bowed my head small toward the marina.

"I certainly received the reward for your request."
"That's all right. I got that spear when I was in service. It's a beautiful spear, and it looks like a work of art, but it's a weapon after all. Originally, I was in the style of a battle in which I was both a wizard and an archer, so I had few opportunities to use the spear when I was an adventurer. and if there was any one who was competent enough to give him the spear, I should have hoped to give it to him one day."
"I see. But..."

　nod to Marina's words and take the death size out of the mistling.

"As you know, this is the death size weapon that I basically use. They use spears, but unlike ordinary warriors, they use them as throwing spears."
"Yes, that's all right," As soon as I saw you, I felt something like this. The adventurers of the city of Gilm, not self‐conceit, are on a high level. Some of them are Rank A adventurers. I'm sure they'll be able to handle it if they hold the thorn's spear, but Elf's intuition... No, I wonder if it's a woman's intuition. Anyway, I can entrust this spear to you when I see you. I thought so."
"What were you going to do with the commission to bring relief to the city of Barr if the woman and Elf's intuition hadn't worked?"
"I'm sure you've chosen something else. I don't know what it is..."

　Say so, and look at Ray in a mischievous way and wink.

"Hee Mi-Tzu, but,"

　Ray, who receives s*xy winks, but puts both death size and thorn spears in a mistling with a wry smile.

"I'm glad I got a better reward than I expected. and if you have finished your business, may I go back now?"
"Oh, why don't you ask me out for dinner when you have such a nice woman?"
"I'll leave it to someone else,"

　Marina looks toward the door with a giggle at Ray's words.

"Some of them seem to be worried about a lot of things, so let's stop here."
"...what?"

　Turn to the door as if to follow the gaze and stand up from the sofa without making any noise. Move on... open the door quickly.

"... ah,"

　With his ears fixed on the door, the two familiar receptionists stopped moving with a word to spare word.

"Oh, my God, Kenny was the only one, and Lenora was with him."

　Marina opens her mouth with a smile as she carries a cup of tea to her mouth.
　There is a mischievous smile at the mouth.

"By the way, if you are here all together, what is going on with the guild counter?"
"No, no. Well... just a little bit to someone else..."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

　Kenny is laughing and trying to mislead Lenora as she responds awkwardly. Looking at them, Ray looks at the marina somewhat dumbfounded.

"It seems that we have a very good staff,"
"Huh. You're right, my proud ones. But I want to brag more about it, so I think I'll stay and do my job today."
"What!? Hey, that's right. Guildmaster! I was going to invite Ray out for dinner today to celebrate his return."
"Oh, really? That's fine, but... the assessment will be interesting, I'm sure?"
"Slip!"

(...this is the kind of guy who literally doesn't make a sound.)

　That's how Ray thinks inside, and he watches the three of them communicate with a small smile.

"Ray, we can't have dinner together today because of the nasty guildmaster, but let's go out to eat together again next time."
"Oh? As a nasty guildmaster, you have to live up to your expectations. Only Kenny has a lot to stay in today.
"Excuse me!"

　Screaming quickly as if I should let you finish, Kenny jumps out of the office.

"Ah... sorry Guildmaster,"

　After seeing him off, Lenora bows her head toward the marina."That's all right. You guys were curious about Ray, weren't you?"
"That's... yes." for we have gone to the town where the plague has spread."
"Oh, is that all?"

　Marina looked at Lenora meaningfully, but she really had no other feelings, and she felt like an older sister who was worried about her younger brother, so Marina was disappointed and let out a sigh.
