Ray and Seto were walking along the main streets of Emosion, as the sunset sun shone through the city.
　I came for the prize money on an unknown monster called Remrace, but one and one of them are not going to the adventurer's guild.
　Normally, it is normal to ask the adventurer's guild for information on REM races, but the time is already evening, and naturally a large number of adventurers who have completed today's request will return to the guild. Under these circumstances, we decided that it would be better to go to the guild a little later tomorrow to get information than to bother the guild staff. However, Ray himself disliked crowds, or was told by a security guard who had made procedures to get into the city by going to places with a large number of adventurers.
　Even the guards could not handle the infamous adventurers and Gryphons in the streets, so they advised Ray in desperation.
　Of course, that's not the only thing the guards did.

"Grull?"
"Well, there are very few people who are afraid of Seto said.

　Ray also nods his head as he nods his head as he does, even though Seto looks happy.
　This is one of the measures taken by the guards. It had spread widely that the Gryphon Seto had contributed greatly to helping passengers and sailors on board the sunken ship.
　Other stories have been circulated that the notorious adventurer and the high-ranked monster Gryphon will be a key force against REM races.
　However, not only were these rumors spread purely by the guards, but there was also much information spread by the passengers and sailors who were actually rescued, by adventurers on the scene, and by the many sailors on the way to help.

"Well, if you have a lot of friendly partners, it's nothing like that. I don't want to cause trouble either."
"Grull".

　Of course not everyone is looking at Ray and Sett in a friendly way. Some look abominable in association with the monster Remrace, while others try to escape when they see Seto, the glyphon. But even more than that, there were many expressions of gratitude for the rescue efforts. And most of all, there was hope that a high-ranking monster as good as Gryphon would do something about the REM race that was eating into the city of Emocion.

"I'd like to live up to that expectation as well as to my actual benefit, but I never thought I'd be completely hiding myself in the sea." Now, I don't know what to do."
"Glu".

　a set of people who purr and rub their heads against each other as if to cheer them up.
　Ray and Sett go down the road, scratching Sett's head.

(I was thinking of dancing and dancing as a trump card, but I couldn't help it without the body emerging from the sea. Even tentacles...)

　Ray thinks so for a moment, but soon reminds me of the time he used to use The Flame Snake to dance to Queen Ant.

(No, tentacles are more likely to be cut off before the snake reaches the main body, as was the case with Queen Ant.) I don't know if they have tentacles or not.)

　We must come up with another new way of attacking. As I go through the city thinking like that, I suddenly smell a savory smell.

"Glu".

　Seto probably smelled it as well. look around for the source of a smell And...

"Yes,"

　If you look after Seto's eyes, you'll find a stall. It was a street stall selling grilled fish and other seafood.
　The sight of various kinds of fish pre-treated, skewered and grilled over a fire has an appetizing smell of fish fat, even though it is seasoned only with salt.
　Originally, the town of Gilm was on the plain, and there was no ocean, let alone mountains and forests. The only fish you can catch is river fish, and it is true that you came to the town of Emocion to enjoy seafood.

"Do you want to eat?"
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto nods, "I'll eat!" and one and one of them immediately approach the stall.
　The closer you get, the more savory the fish is, the more appetizing it is.
　In fact, there were nearly 10 people around the stall happily enjoying skewers and grilled seafood on top of the grill, perhaps because they were trying to connect it to dinner.

"Ugh!"

　In the midst of this, a man who was eating fish skewers that looked suspicious from Ray's point of view... more accurately noticed Seth and exclaimed in astonishment.
　The other guests who heard the voice also turned to Ray and Sett, but most of the people there watched with interest instead of trying to escape.
　Of course, it's not that everybody didn't run away. A few of them ran away in a flurry, but it was almost a reflex action without making a fuss, so it's fair to say that it's a huge difference compared to the city we stopped by before we came to Emocion.
　An elderly man in his fifties, who was running a stall, noticed a Gryphon approaching him. However, he concentrated on how skewers and grills were cooked without changing his expression.
　Then Ray and Sett approached...

"Father, two skewers of fish..."
"Here, eat,"

　offer Ray a baked skewer without telling him to finish it The yellow and blue spotted fish skewer is the kind of dish you can't help but hesitate to eat. However, all the customers around the stall exclaim in astonishment.

"Hey, that's a high-end fish.
"Oh, it's delicious, but it's not caught very well, and it's very expensive."
"And now the number of people going fishing is decreasing because of REM races..."
"You're a good old man. You're a strong mannered."
"Oh, I wanted to try it just once. But I can't afford two silver coins for a snack."

　Hearing the voices of the people around him, Ray learns that his skewer fish are two silvers, and looks surprised at the old man in the stall.

"I didn't order such high-quality fish."
"It's my treat. You're hungry, aren't you? Eat! There were a lot of people who were saved from being attacked by REM races because of their priests. It's a courtesy as a townman of Emocion."
"... well, I'll be glad to have it." Thank you."

　Rey briefly thanked and nibbled at the skewer of the fish that was given.
　The skin is so crisp that you can't believe it's a fish that the flesh melts as soon as you put it in your mouth.
　There's still a lot of fat on my body, but there's no persistence after that.
　When you eat one bite, you fill your cheeks with two, three, or four mouthfuls.
　Next to Ray, Seto was also in a good humour. "However, the size of the fish was not that big for a set, so I ate it up in one bite, so it seemed a little unsatisfactory."
　He ate up the skewers silently, exhaled satisfactorily, and called out to the old man at the stall.

"It was delicious."
"I see. That's all right."

　Smiling at the thoughtfulness of the old man, he asked as if he had thought of it.

"Can you tell me if you have any recommendations for a Gryphon to stay with you in this town?"
"... I see. Go straight down the street, turn right at the fifth turn, walk for about 10 minutes, and you'll find a hotel called the Blue Sea Coral Pavilion. It's a bit expensive, but Gryphon should accept it. I've heard that it's quite crowded now, but I think it's safe to say that it's an introduction to Arctus."
"It's a coral-tei in the Blue Sea, I see. It helps a lot."
"Don't worry. It's thanks."

　Shortly telling old man...no, smiling at what Arctus said, and trying to go straight to the inn where he was taught...then he turned the tables and called out to Arctus again."I'm sorry, but please spare me five pieces of grilled skewers and shellfish."

　She told me that she was defeated by the taste of seafood she had eaten for the first time in a long time, and by Seto's appealing eyes.





"The Coral Pavilion in the Blue Sea," It's just as the name suggests."

　The inn I found through the directions given by Arctos is a very impressive building with blue walls reminiscent of the sea and coral embedded in the walls.
　It's a little bigger than Wheat-tei at dusk, but it's still a moderately large inn with a few times more inhabitants than the town of Gilm or a city of Emocion coming from outside.

"As I heard, it seems to be very prosperous, but can't it be helped at this time of year?"

　Whilst you say so, chew and swallow the grilled fish head and bones, and store the skewers in the mistling.

"Grull".

　Seto is also in a good mood at the beautiful building he's seen for the first time.
　the Coral Pavilion of the Blue Sea It's a hidden specialty store, but today's city of Emocion is flooded with adventurers looking for the prize money for REM races. Then, naturally, the number of inns became insufficient, and many adventurers flocked to the coral-tei in Hekkai, which was famous as a hideaway inn.

"...can you stay?"

　I mutter as if I can hear a loud voice from the outside, but I still decide to enter as much as I can, so I have Set wait outside and enter the building.
　What I saw then was a large number of adventurers eating and drinking in a cafeteria at the back of the ground floor.
　It seems that the first floor serves as a dining room and a bar, and the second floor and later serves as an inn. When Ray decides so, he calls out to a girl in her mid-teenage at the hotel counter.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to take up a lodging."
"What? Oh... I'm sorry, I think it's a little difficult right now. As you can see, the room is full..."

　Ray, who is apologetic for the girl, is convinced on the other way around.
　From the entrance of the inn, it was obvious that the dining room was almost full.
　But just in case, I'll name Arctus.

"My grandfather introduced me to Arctos, who runs a stall, but is that no use?"
"Introduce Mr. Arctos!? Uh... wait a minute. I'll ask my father soon."

　Ray was left on the spot, seeing off the girl as she rushed towards the dining room.

"What do you want me to do?"

　He muttered, as if it were an unexpected development, but fortunately the girl who ran away was back in less than a minute.
　What's different from what I've just said is that there's someone behind him who looks like a mother in her thirties.

(Didn't you tell your father that you were going to ask him?)

　When I'm thinking like that, the mother of a girl who seems to be the proprietress calls out to me.

"I heard it was introduced by Arctos."
"Oh, I heard it while I was buying a skewer, and they introduced me here."
"I beg your pardon, but I don't think Mr. Arctos will introduce me to the house just by buying a skewer."
"It seems to be thanks for helping the passengers and sailors of the sunken ship, even though it's a REM race."
"...oh! A customer is rumored to be in town.

　You probably understood the reason why it was introduced in Ray's words. Something suspicious turns into a smile.

"You were rumored to have a Gryphon with you?"
"I'm outside. So can you stay?"
"Well, if I may or may not stay, I can stay..."

　the mother of a girl who hesitates to speak You must have been unable to see such a mother. The girl opens her mouth.

"Well, ordinary rooms are full of guests now."
"I suppose,"

　I turn to the dining room again, where I see the adventurers having a party.

"Then to another inn..."
"So!"

　When Ray searches for another inn, the girl continues, interrupting the words she almost utters.

"Well, if it's an unusual room, I can get it ready. Is that all right?"
"Unusual room?"
"Yeah. Well, it's about half the size of the other rooms in the corner..."

　After thinking about the words for a few seconds, Ray nods quickly.

"Well, I don't care about the size of the room as long as I have a place to sleep and a meal. Can I ask for it?"
"Oh, yes. Hey, mother. All right?"
"Oh, yes. Mr. Arctos introduced me, and if that's all right with my room, I'm a benefactor of the city and I'm very welcome."
"And how much will it cost? Oh, I'll have to pay for the Gryphon."
"One silver coin per night, including breakfast and dinner."

　Ray looks surprised at how cheap it is.
　Even the Wheat-tei at dusk in the town of Gilm costs three pieces of silver a night, without the cost of Seto's food. Considering the population and prices here, it is safe to say that it is exceptionally cheap.

"Mr. Arctos introduced me, and if I were a benefactor of the city, I could not get any more." "Even for the room I can offer, it is only half the size of an ordinary room..."

　Being overwhelmed by his words, Ray eventually decided to stay at the Coral Pavilion in the Blue Sea while he was in the town of Emocion.
