a few days after teaching Arctos about okonomiyaki Although Ray went out to sea several times after that, he couldn't see the monster, so he kept eating and sleeping, or walking around the city to buy seafood, and practicing with Seto outside the city to the extent that he didn't lose his body. However, he decided that the magical stones he had left with the guild must have been thoroughly examined and headed for the guild.

"Yes, dried squid overnight. It's hot, so be careful."

　Of course, while eating seafood with Seto,

"Look, set. Half at a time."
"Grull".

　Seto's voice grates over Ray's words. If you split the flesh of a squid wrapped in paper into half and give it to them, they will receive it with a stick.

"Huh? This smell..."

　In the meantime, he smiled at the burning smell of the sauce, and turned to the stall.
　It wasn't Arctos... it was a stall owner who used to sell hot dogs and sandwiches some time ago. However, there is no bread in the stall now, and it has become an okonomiyaki stall.

"The number of okonomiyaki shops is increasing a lot."

　a muttering ray from a stall
　Ray's teaching of Okonomiyaki to Arctos was now steadily gaining power in the city of Emocion. One of the reasons might be that it was easy, unusual, and full, making you feel hungry, making it was perfect for a snack. However, the main reason why okonomiyaki has spread so far in a matter of days was that it is cooked only with the ingredients you like. From shrimp, squid, octopus, shellfish and fish to pork, chicken, beef and even monster meat. There are a wide variety of okonomiyaki.

(however, okonomiyaki with bread that I ate yesterday is a little bit of it.)

　Remembering the taste of okonomiyaki I had at a stall the day before, I let out a sigh in my heart.
　The stall was also an okonomiyaki (savory pancake) that was usually sold by people who were serving bread, as seen in Rey's eyes, but he twisted the favorite parts and cut the unsold sandwiches of the previous day into small pieces as an ingredient.

(Well, I've seen okonomiyaki sandwiches at a bakery when I was on earth, and it seems that there are some people who eat rice with okonomiyaki as a side dish, so I guess it's a good idea...)

　Shake your head slightly and bite the squid into overnight drying to overwrite the taste of the previous day's okonomiyaki.
　That's how Ray begins, and when he arrives at the guild, he breaks up with Seto and enters the guild as usual.

"...you've lost a lot of people."

　Some guilds were much smaller than when Ray had come before. Needless to say, the reason for this was that the Rem race had been defeated, but Ray never expected the number of people to drop so rapidly.
　However, for the guild officials in the city of Emocion, like adventurers and guild officials, the previous existence of REM races was unusual, and this was the normal situation. Even though the number of people decreased in the first place, it was compared to the heyday of REM races, and the number of people today is sufficient. Because this is a port that is said to be the gateway to the kingdom of Mileana, there are naturally many requests associated with it, and the number of adventurers increases accordingly.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," I've been waiting for you. I'll call for Mr. Rosseus in a moment, please wait a moment."

　She nods a little to the receptionist's words, who finds Ray, and immediately sees him off as he heads to the background.

"Hey, isn't Ray the one who beat the REM race? Is he that kid?"
"Now that you mention it, you came back in yesterday's ship,"
"Oh, thanks to the information about the Rem race, I've been stuck in the harbor over there. Well, I didn't have any complaints because my employer paid for my stay during that time."
"You've had a very good employer, haven't you? Oh, let me tell you, you shouldn't touch him. There are some people who look down on me and touch me, but most of them are injured to the point where they are not fashionable."
"...that kid?"
"Looks and fighting power are different. Actually, I've heard that he's ranked about C, but in terms of combat power, he's better than the B adventurer he was working with when he beat the REM race."
"...that's a lie, isn't it?"
"Well, what do you think?" But I saw him blow off the head of the Remrace from a distance, and I was hired to dismantle the Remrace afterwards, and I'm not going to pay back the favor. In the first place, I think it's only those who want to commit suicide who act foolish to interfere with someone who has a different name."

　As Ray waits listening to his own gossip, Rosseus appears at the back of the counter, in the office. You'll find out what's in the bag you're holding with great importance.

"I've been waiting for you. There are many things I would like to talk about, but here we are conspicuous, and shall we go upstairs?"
"That's a good idea,"

　Nodding their eyes, Ray and Roseus head upstairs to the conference room.
　When they were climbing the stairs, the two had received painful glances from adventurers inside the guild, but Ray had already become accustomed to the gaze of others, and Roseus, as an upper-ranking figure in the guild, was never afraid of this level of glances.





"Well, first of all, I'll give you back the magic stone." Please check it out."

　Sitting opposite each other in the conference room, Rosseus immediately offers a sack of cloth.
　When Ray receives it, he opens the bag and takes out the contents. Of course, the inside is a magical stone about 30 cm in size, and as far as I can see, it is not particularly damaged, but nods small toward Roseus.
　At Ray's nod, Roseus let out a sigh of relief. After all, it was a crisis in which the city of Emocion, let alone this guild, might disappear. Some, though careful, felt that Rosseus had a magical stone that naturally belonged to Remrace, and there were a few who were willing to obtain it at some risk because it was such a large article. It's in the guild's interest to be able to dispose of such opponents. However...

"I asked each guild for information on magical stones that existed in the past, but unfortunately I could get very little information."

　Yes, there was very little information I could get from the magic stone.
　Originally, it was a magical stone borrowed from Ray in the hope that he could get even a little bit of information about the monster that he thought was a REM race.

"However, considering the purity of the magic stone and the concentration of the magic power contained, we have found that it is certain to be at least a Rank B monster, as I said when I received the magic stone." The magical power distribution of the magical stones is very similar to that of the sea serpent, so I think it will probably be treated as a superior species of sea serpent as Ray expected. However, we couldn't find out where or how many of them existed just by using magical stones and materials."
"Well, it was pretty much as I expected. Don't worry so much about it because I thought I could understand a little bit about REM races."
"But you could have lent me such a magical stone."

　They must be frustrated that they had little information in their investigation. There is not a small amount of remorse in the expression.

"Well... well, if you get any information that Remrace has appeared somewhere, please contact Guild of Guillum." I don't know if I can move then, but if I can afford it, I'll go get some magical stones. By the way, we welcome rare species other than REM races."
"Well, that would certainly be helpful as a guild if someone as powerful as Ray could be expected to fight against rare species at the time of need... rare species? I'm sure they'll be stronger than the monsters of the same species."
"That's why," Rare [rare] types of magical stones are not usually available for the purpose of obtaining them. It would be more than enough advantage for me if I could know of its emergence."
"... I see. Fortunately, ships gather from various places in this town of Emocion. That's why we get a lot of information, so it's easier to get information about rare species than other guilds."

　Roseus nods strongly as if to compensate for his own weakness. It must have been regrettable that he could not produce the results he had hoped for, even though he had been entrusted with a precious stone.

"So that's the end of the conversation for now,

　When Ray asks, tucking the magical stone in his hand into the mistling, Roseus nods softly.

"Yes, I'm sorry I don't have enough information to give you..."
"Don't worry, it's bad for Roseus, but it would have been profitable if we could get even a little information from the beginning."Get up from your chair and lay your hand on Rosseus' shoulder to cheer him up.

"Well, the next time you come to the guild, I suppose, is only after we find out that Remrace is not going to show up."
"Yes, as a resident of this city, I pray that the Lem Race will be proven to be exterminated."

　With Rosseus bowing in apology and gratitude, Ray left the conference room and went down to the ground floor, and left the guild with Seto for a short distance from the city to absorb the magical stones.





　half an hour's flight from the city of Emocion It only takes about 30 minutes to get there because it's Seto, but it's about a day's walk.
　We had been told not to leave the city very far until the REM race was over, but Ray, who wanted to avoid absorbing the magical stones near the city, found a place to return in at least half an hour, near a small 1m-wide river where one and one of them now live.

"Now, no one will find the absorption of the magic stone here." --as soon as possible, Seto."
"Glu?"

　Seeing the magical stone taken out of the mistling, Seto tilts his head as he sings in his throat.
　Can I absorb it myself?
　Rank B, as long as it is the magic stone of REM races that would be comparable to Rank A if you were not good at it, you could say you are almost certain to acquire skills. Then you have the option of absorbing Ray's death size. As Seto looks at himself with round eyes like that, Ray pats his head with a small smile.

"I have the magic of fire, and besides death size, I can throw spears. With that in mind, it would be better if Seto had more means of attack. So don't worry, Seto will absorb it."
"Gurling...Gurling!"

　In gratitude, Seto sings and throws his magical stones towards Seto with a smile on his face.
　He swallowed the magical stone with a kuchibashi...

[Sett has mastered the skills of Optical camouflage Lv.1]

　A familiar voice echoes through my mind.

"I got the skill... optical camouflage?"

　Ray nods his head in spite of skill names. Sett, like Ray, is leaning his head slightly, perhaps surprised by the skills he has also acquired.

(The Lem Race certainly had the ability to blend into the surrounding scenery. Isn't it strange to think of it...?)

　Though thinking inside, Ray, who already seems to be different from Remrace's ability, calls out to Seto as if it's easier to give birth than to worry about.

"Try the optical camouflage at once, Set,"
"Glu".

　Ray's words make a deep song in his throat and move a little further, just in case. And...

"Gurling!"

　As soon as it rang high, Seto was certainly out of sight. It was literally transparent.

"This is..."

　mutter, go to the place where Seto was, and reach gently. It was definitely the smooth texture of Seto's hair.

"Set, are you there?"
"Grull".

　a set of answers to Ray's call It was true that Seto was there, but it was true that he was the only one who was out of sight.
　Impressed by the scene, he tries to reach for Seto again, but the optical camouflage is removed and Seto reappears.

"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Glu".

　a small shake of one's head Watching the situation, Ray suddenly comes to mind.

"Is it possible that if things continue as they asked.
"Grull".

　a set of sounds that sound like a correct answer
　Ray was dumbfounded for a moment, but immediately remembered that the Lv optical camouflage was still one, and I was convinced that it was no wonder.

"The effect of optical camouflage is about 10 seconds transparent. ... a little short, but unlike all the flashy skills we've had before, there's a way to make a mistake. And considering Seto's power..."

　Originally a Gryphon, Seto, who boasts a powerful and unparalleled strength, was fired with a bracelet of strength, which is also a magic item, and even a REM race of about 30 meters in length was hit on the ground. With that in mind, optical camouflage, which disappears, could not be considered a better skill for Seto.

"And... Set, use the optical camouflage again."
"Gurgle! ...Gurgle?"

　At Ray's request, he chants vigorously, but never disappears, and the next moment he looks around in bewilderment.

"Set?"
"Grull".

　At Ray's call, he shook his head slightly. Watching it, Ray was also leaning his head, but suddenly called out to Seto as if he had thought of something.

`Is it impossible to use it for a while?'
"Glu".

　Ray also reaches out to comfort Seto, who nods disconsolately.

"Calm down, it's a powerful skill, so I can't help but limit it. If Lv goes up, that might be resolved. Now, anyway, let's start by knowing the effects of our skills properly."
"Grull".

　a set nodding to Ray's words
　In the end, as a result of various investigations, it became clear that once you use it, you can't reuse it for about 30 minutes, and if you use it together, you can make it transparent, but if you use it together, you can't do it in less than 5 seconds.
