"It's the city of Gilm, I saw the city of Gilm!"

　Such a cry echoes through the Larx army along the highway.
　About two weeks after being separated from the troops already headed for the capital led by Dusker. As they made their way to the city of Guilm, one after another a force of nobles left the city of Abuero, separated from the last, and after a night's stay the city of Guilm came into view, it was only natural that there should be a cry of joy in the army of Larx.
　It's been about a month since I left the town of Gilmoo for the start of the war, but everyone still smiles happily.
　In the meantime, Ray was naturally smiling in the carriage.

"Are you back at last?" I'm relieved to see it like this."

　Roono murmured, looking out of the carriage window at Gilm's city.
　There was, of course, a small, relieved smile on his face.

"Well, it's the first time I've come back like this that I realize it. This town is our home town."

　One of the knights nodded to Reno's words with a look of relief, while the other nodded to him.
　But for Ray, who was in the carriage with these knights and Reno, it was less than a year since he came to the city of Gillum, and he could not bear such a strong nostalgia.
　That said, I look back at the book that introduces monsters that I had in my hand, thinking that it would be clumsy to meddle.
　Of course, I'm happy to be back in Gilm, but for Ray, trouble awaits him when he returns to Gilm's city. Because of that, I can't just relax and be happy.
　You must have noticed how Ray looked. One of the knights calls out to Ray from a smile of relief to a smile of pain.

"Ray, why don't you like it a little?"
"It's not that I'm not happy," But when I think about the trouble after I came back, I can't help it."
"Oh, return the supplies in the item box?"

　After hearing their voices, Reno turns to Ray with a spiteful smile.
　Yes, Ray's Mistyling has a number of supplies that he thought would be needed for this war. From weapons such as bows, arrows, swords and spears to objects such as liquor and food, tents and tents, and many other restorative items, they are huge supplies.
　Fearing that supplies would run short, Dusker prepared several months' worth of supplies, but the actual fighting was over in a day. That would naturally reduce the consumption of goods, and many of them end up in mystery rings without ever being taken out.
　When heading to Celemuth Plain, we dispersed them in horse-drawn carts just in case, but the war had already ended, and even though it was close to a complete victory, no one was injured at all. Most of the surplus supplies were forced onto Ray to get them into the carriage.
　Of course, the goods are not Ray's, so they have to be returned when they return to the city of Gilm, and Ray's face looks very troublesome considering the trouble.

"I think it's better to have some preserved food, such as provisions, stored in the item box. Especially, there are still a lot of freshly made dishes?"

　To answer the knight's question, check the list in your mind and nod with your sigh.
　There were many reasons for the high morale of the Larx army, including the pride of being a state-of-the-art adventurer, but one of them was naturally able to eat fresh food.
　Or the envious gaze of other troops would have played a part in the morale. Of course, if you leave it as you envy it, there is a high possibility that it will be a conflict in the future, so we divided it to some extent.
　Anyway, a few months' worth of freshly cooked food is still in Ray's mistling, and if you put it all out, of course it will go bad. When I thought about that, I couldn't have them serve me food carelessly.

"As for that matter, first of all, after Mr. Dusker came back from the royal capital." No, should I ask the person in charge of your absence? Anyway, now you should get medicine, weapons, tents, etc. and put things that don't last long in the item box. Wouldn't it be easier to divide Ray into several parts than to take out all the contents at once?"

　Ray nods to the knight's words.

"It would be helpful if you could do so,"

　When we talk like that, the carriage stops.
　The main gate of the city of Gilm is visible from the window. And the people of the city greeted the people standing side by side around the main gate.

"Even if you don't go to the royal capital, you're quite pleased here."
"Well, in the royal capital, the number of people who live is very different from the city of Gilm."

　When the Knight and Reno hear a murmur of embarrassment, they knock on the door of the carriage.
　When Ray, who has come this far, opens the door and decides that he won't be attacked by an assassin, an acquaintance appears there.

"Mr. Ray, and Mr. Luno and the Knights, too." You came home quite early, didn't you?

　Despite his stern face, it was Langa, the head of the city's security team, who still smiled in slow language.

"Langa, it's been a long time. Was there no problem in the town of Gilm?"

　From a standpoint, Langa and Knights, the commanders of the security forces, talk to each other without using particular orcasmic language, perhaps because they are familiar with each other.

"Well, we've had a lot of problems with so many adventurers gone, but fortunately we haven't had any fatal problems. But that I came back safe like this...?"

　The knight nods to Langa with a smile.

"Oh, the Imperial Army of Bestia drove them away from the Seremuth plain. The adventurer and his demon Gryphon have done a great job."
"…I see. Then, after all, that rumor..."

　Langa turns to Ray at the words of the knight.
　At the time of the demon's Gryphon, it would have been clear who it was representing. He nods convincingly. Ray is concerned about the rumor, but before he can say it, Langa immediately returns to himself.

"Anyway, I'm in a hurry to go through the formalities, so please show me your guild card and other identification. I would not have liked to make such an impeccable impression here, but rules are rules."
"I know. Then let the people who've gone through the procedures into the city. It's a pretty festive affair, isn't it?"
"Yes, ever since I found you coming back." At first, some people said they might have lost and returned, but as far as everyone was concerned, it didn't look like that. What remained was the opinion that the war had ended quickly with an overwhelming victory. And..."

　Langa smiles meaningfully for a moment. As they speak, the guards check the guild cards and other identifications of other horse-drawn carriage, walking adventurers, soldiers, and knights.
　Thanks to the hard work of the guards, the process is over in less than half an hour, and we are finally entering the city of Gilm.

"Well, that's the end of the proceedings. Welcome home, gentlemen."

　Langa, handing the devil's necklace to Ray and smiling at everyone in the carriage, calls out again.
　Each responds with a smile at his thoughtfulness, and Ray also puts the devil's necklace on Sett, who sticks his head in through the door, and then smiles at Langa, and the carriage enters the city of Gilm.

'Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

　The moment I entered the city, I heard that voice suddenly.
　People, people, people can be seen in the carriage. It was a sight that could be called a herd of people.
　Unexpectedly, Ray opens his eyes wide.
　But in a way, it must have been a predictable. Reno and the knight look out of the carriage window into the crowd with happy or contented smiles.

"It's -- it's amazing,"

　Ray muttered to the number of people.
　The inhabitants of the city of Gillum, almost all of them, seemed to have gathered together.
　Of course, it's just an illusion. There is no way that 100,000 people can be gathered here, and among the 100,000, nearly thousands of adventurers, soldiers, and knights are their own Larkes.But there are still so many crowds cheering for Ray and others who have returned almost to the point of misunderstanding that yellow voices and shouts can be heard everywhere.

"We were very much welcomed in the oak village, but this time it was more than that."
"That's true, isn't it? Orcs seem to be a bit different after all, but they're monsters after all. But this time it's a war with our neighbors. That's on the side where we were invaded. With that in mind, it's no wonder that I'm pleased. Moreover, thanks to Ray, the deaths of those who left the city of Gilm were suppressed considerably. Here, wave your hand, too."

　Loono waves out of the carriage window, breathes out a small sigh, and Ray waves.
　Unlike Reno and Knight, he had an awkward smile, perhaps because he didn't like to get attention from strangers like this.

"Look next to that carriage," It's a glyphon. Are you in that carriage then?"
"Oh, what did I say about my success in this war? Red? No, I'm not. Maybe crimson or something like that.
"Yes, you're still in your mid-teenage, aren't you?" There's a genius, isn't there?"
"Seto-chan! Thank you for bringing your father safely!"
"Set, look, eat this. It's a reward for working hard."

　the murmur of noise coming into a carriage Of course, the Loonos could not be heard in the other voices, but for Ray, who has five extraordinary senses, it sounds perfectly fine.
　And naturally, I notice that there are some information in the voice that I hear that I can't ignore.

"Well, we won something, but crimson is a popular name... why?"

　Loono and knights, who look surprised at Ray's words for a moment, immediately nodded convincingly.

"The merchant's network of information is amazing. And while we were still preparing to withdraw on the Celemus plain, there would be some aristocratic troops or merchants who had returned earlier. Wasn't the information coming from that area? No, I didn't think it had reached this far in the frontier, but..."
"I'm sure you're right," A merchant is wise for profit. That would naturally make you intelligent about information. Don't you think Ray, an adventurer, knows more about that than we do?"

　The knight's words remind me of a merchant I had escorted before. Flame ore that the city of Gilm was able to obtain as a result of Ray's actions. the state of having bought the information out of nowhere

"Well, that's not the case,"
"And as long as you're in this city, you know Sett very well." You must have been happy that Seto, who is also a popular figure in the city, was active."

　Luno, from the window of the carriage, glancing at Seto, who gleefully eats the dried meat thrown by the crowd.
　When Seto's voice becomes yellow, dried meat is thrown in again, and he takes it with his chopsticks and swallows it.

"Now that I've seen it, Seto has become quite popular. I was terrified when I first came to this city."
"That's true, isn't it? It's a Gryphon, isn't it? No matter how much you wear the devil's necklace, you can't be relieved at once. It's more surprising that Seto has melted into the city in less than a year."
"I suppose so," It is said that the guards who were on the lookout of the city were all afraid at first."

　The Knight agrees with Reno's words and turns a somewhat dumbfounded glance at Ray.

"It's strange that some of you have Gryphon as a slave in the first place," I wouldn't even think of making such a high-ranking monster a slave."

　Misleading the knights' words, Ray's Larx's army was dissolved after a light greeting from the knight's representative to the adventurer's guild.
　As for the formal ceremony, Dusker is supposed to be back, but the whole city will still be buzzing all day with reports of victory.
　In addition, most of the dishes at that time were served in Ray's mistrings under the direction of the knight who was in charge of his absence.
