320 Episode 0320



"Well... it was a good inn,"

 Ray, taking off his dragon robes and slapnil shoes, muttering on his bed in the Coral Pavilion in the Blue Sea.
 "The dinner I had in the dining room was satisfactory, regardless of the amount, and the stable where Seto was to sleep was large enough to satisfy him, even though it was not as big as the wheat-tei at dusk."
 "The only complaint was that it was a corner room, which was only about 3 tatami mats long, and most of the rooms were occupied by beds, but I was aware of that, and above all, it was one silver coin per night for breakfast and dinner." It's fair to say it's exceptional given the treatment of other adventurers in the city of Emocion today.

"Well, that's all. First of all, what shall I do from tomorrow?"

 We've come to defeat the prize-winning monster, originally called Remrace, so we should focus on that. But the main target is hidden deep in the sea, and they use magic to sink the ship. Even if you try to defeat him, you can't do anything about it unless you can see the enemy.

"It's impossible to bring the sea water to a boil."

 Given Ray's own magical powers, it's probably possible or impossible. But this is the harbour, and as long as you live with the sea, that hand is obviously the worst of all. If you don't do well, you'll lose the Monster, but you'll be the winner of the prize money.
 Of course, I'm confident that even if I get the prize money, I'll fight off the opponent who is aiming for it. But if that happens, the town of Gilm, which is his home town, will also be unavailable. It's very poor in many ways.

"Then would I have no choice but to ride in a set and make a show of myself in the air to invite a REM race?"

 mutter and breathe out a small sigh
 This is because I remembered a sea spear made by magic. Ray, who is originally good at fire magic, is very incompatible with his partner, who is good at water magic. Still, if the enemy were to show up, it would be no use, but in the first place, they were trying to find the enemy. It was no use feeling depressed.

"But we've got to do it." We've come this far, and above all, it's the kind of monster that causes this much trouble. I really want to get magical stones and materials. and now that I think about it, would it have been better to bring Miloir and Egrett?"

 I thought so for a moment, but there is no doubt that if I had brought those two, I would still be wandering around the city looking for accommodation.
 There was no room for three people in the small room where Ray was now, and above all, there was a prediction that Miloire would not like to share a room with a man.

"First of all, I'll have to try to fly over the sea for a while to-morrow." If we can see the enemy, we can think of some way to deal with it."

 The fatigue of the journey, the tiredness of the rescue operation, and the fact that he lay on the bed, left him to sleep.





 The next day Ray woke up at the 6 a.m. bell and watched the other adventurers in the cafeteria eating breakfast of seafood soup and bread, grilled fish and seafood salad.

"What are you going to do today?"
"No matter what you say," You've come all the way to the kingdom of Milliana for a prize, but you can't help it if the prize head doesn't show up. I'll go to the guild for a reasonable request. This is a port city, and prices are high."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Then can you take me with you?"
"What about you? Well, as far as I've seen from my last request, my arms are about the same, I don't mind."
"Well, I don't want to give up my purpose for now, so I guess it's a nearby sea. If I'm lucky, I might be able to knock down the monster that approached me and get some magical stones and materials."
"No, aren't you giving up your aim when you're not aiming for a REM race?"
"I don't know what I'm going to do... the prize money is attractive, but I don't think I'm going to get any goals. Moreover, there are so many adventurers gathering for the prize money that the requests themselves are getting smaller."
"Well, and the adventurers in this city of Emocion look at us a little bit."
"That can't be helped," It's like we've been awarded a prize because we're not as good as ourselves. We, outsiders, who came here to win the prize, can't look at us favorably."
"Oh, I think I'll give up my prize money and go somewhere else. Even if you're here for a quick buck, you'll just waste your time and waste your money."
"If you want to do that, why don't you do that? It will help us if we have fewer competitors."

 While listening to the voices that come from all over the dining room, they nod and savor seafood soup with satisfaction.

(It's good that we've gathered for the prize money for the REM race, but it seems that there's nothing we can do about it because the essential REM race doesn't show up. I should say I'm lucky to be able to lure you to some degree of safety in the sky.)

 Squeeze some kind of citrus fruit on a grilled fish simply seasoned with salt and put it on top of bread with a seafood salad to the mouth.
 As expected, it was a hideaway inn, and the breakfast served was no less than the evening wheat-tei that Ray uses in the city of Gillum.
 It's especially about how you use it, and the steamed shrimp in the seafood salad gives you a crunchy texture and a deep flavor.

(I'd like to try fried prawns if there's one.) There are eggs, bread crumbs, flour, and shrimp, but is that the rest of the oil? In the port city, olive oil or sesame oil would be nice, but... then sauce, or tartar sauce. But was there a pickle in this world?)

 Think that far and come back to life.
 I came to this city not to eat fried prawns, but to beat the REM race. The shrimp in the seafood salad was so delicious that I could not help but shake my head back.

"What's wrong with her? She's shaking her head."
"Now? But why is there such a kid here? It's not just for the REM race."
"What kind of joke is that?" If such a hungry man can defeat the REM race, I'll get the prize first."

 Ray breathes at the adventurer's party at the table next to Ray.
 I'm not very happy to say that I've done it myself.
 Recently, the nickname crimson was given to a wizard with a Gryphon on his side, and Ray, who was not on his side, was seen only as a child apprentice to a wizard.

(Well, I can't help it. Let's go to the guild first and get as much information as we can about the REM race. but it would be better if the busy morning hours were settled for a while.)

 Whispering in private, relish the rest of the meal to your mouth, and finally finish your breakfast with mixed juice of various fruits.
 After that, they go out into the city with Seto to buy and eat seafood that is unique to the harbor, or buy a large quantity raw and store it in a mistling, and pass time.
 And for Ray and Seto, in a way, they spend a happy time as if they had come to the city of Emocion for that purpose, and eventually one and one of them, realizing that the adventurer's busiest hour had passed, head to the adventurer's guild, as originally planned, with a slightly regretful look on their faces.

"Grull".

 On the way, Seto wistfully sings in his throat for seafood dishes, or Ray remembers Japan when he sees the white curtains made of squid hung on a laundry cord and dried.

"Now, set,"
"Glu".

 Without being told until the end, Seto silently lays down in the guild's subservient space.
 There's a horse-drawn carriage that's probably in the guild, and it's hardened to see Sett, or people who don't know about Sett the day before because he came to the city this morning, but it's already gone into the guild, as usual.
 Then...

`You're not kidding!'

 As soon as I open the door, I hear such a rant from inside.
 Ray thought it was a drunken struggle, because the voice he heard was a woman's voice, or because there was a bar next to the guilds in other towns, but the voice came from the guild's counter, where a brown-skinned woman in a bikini-like swimsuit was shouting at adventurers.

(Brown skin? Dark elf... No, sunburn?) But why are you wearing a swimsuit all over the city?)

 For a moment, the guildmaster of the dark elf passed through my mind, but the woman at the end of my gaze was brown from the sunburn. The woman in the swimsuit doesn't have the excess appeal of Marina.

"I'm sorry, but we've got to take it upon request."One of the men of the trio of adventurers being shouted at by a woman was bowing his head apologizing.
 While the other two looked displeased, there was no sign of any particular interference.

(Request? Any kind of conflict?)

 Ray was almost immediately intrigued, but the purpose of his visit was to find information about REM races. So we move to the counter a short distance away from where the women and adventurers in the swimsuits are arguing and talk to the receptionist.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to hear some information about REM races.

 As long as you are the head of the prize money, you can get the minimum information in the guild. It was because Lenora and Kenny had told me so before they left the city of Gillum.
 However, Ray's appearance made it so, and the receptionist couldn't say yes. It's a guildless situation where low-ranking adventurers recklessly try to die in rem races. Even if you're an adventurer of guilds in other branches.

"Please post a guild card. Information on REM races is limited to adventurers above rank D."
"Oh, is this all right?"
"Oh!? ...Excuse me. Dear Rank C adventurer Ray. I have confirmed it for sure enough. This is the document."

 I was surprised to see Ray's guildcard because he knew about a letter of introduction from Marina, the guildmaster of the city of Guillum, or because he knew he was a talented adventurer with the nickname crimson. Anyway, the receptionist looks surprised for a few seconds and immediately comes back to himself and hands over a piece of paper.
 Perhaps they have given the same data to many people so far. There was something familiar about it.
 ...and some adventurers who had heard Ray's request for Remrace material tried to jeer at him by judging him by his appearance, but when the receptionist found out that he was in the rank C position, he stopped his movement and let out a breath of relief.
 I took such a long time to get the information about the REM race, but as it was just a sheet of paper, there was almost no known fact.

(No one has confirmed his appearance, and the name Remrace is too poor to be known, so I wonder if he just put it on first. The only known method of attack is water magic. It's a highly secretive method of water magic that can attack from a long distance. Surely a sheet of paper would be enough for this amount of information. It's better to say that I've repelled him, but that he's been overlooked if anything."

 I quickly read through the documents like that, and I didn't get any new information, so as I had thought before, I was going to fly over the sea in Seto, lure out a REM race, and leave the guild to get information.

"Wait a minute! If you're an adventurer, why don't you say something to them?"

 Speaking to Ray was a swimsuit woman fighting with an adventurer at a counter a short distance away. For some reason, he realizes that he is getting involved in an argument, and exhales.

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy with all sorts of things. I don't know why you're arguing, but I hope you don't get me involved."
"Don't get me involved... You're a stranger adventurer like them!? Then you're not in the same league!"
"No, I don't want them all together as strangers."
`It's the same for the people of this town!'

 As if there were no islands to go by, he was breathing again and arguing with a woman... more precisely, he looked at the trio of adventurers who had been unilaterally blamed.

"I don't mind listening to you for a moment, but would you like to go to the bar at least? Since you got involved, you'll treat me a little?"
"...Yes, I'm sorry,"

 A good-natured adventurer bowed apologetically to Ray and the five headed to a bar attached to the guild.
