"Well, then, will Mr. Ray be out of town tomorrow?"

　The daughter of the Coral Pavilion in Hekkai asks Ray regretfully.
　However, Ray nods without hesitation.

"Oh, I've stayed a little too long in this city." If things go on like this, I'm going to stay in this city."
"Well, that's all right, isn't it? I don't care a bit about this. You know, I didn't really talk to Ray for any reason."

　As I told Ray so, the blush on my cheeks made it clear at a glance what I was thinking.
　However, only Ray, the party concerned, shakes his head slightly, unaware of it.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to move my base out of the city of Gillum." It's very convenient over there because it's a remote area. Well, it's a pity that I rarely encountered monsters in the sea in the city of Emosion."
"Why don't you extend your stay a little longer, then?"
"Well, I've been there for about a month. I've got something to do over there.

　Naturally, the task was to head with Elena to the labyrinthine city, and for Ray, the first priority. However, the girl at the inn, who naturally doesn't know about it, bulges out her cheeks in discontent.

"Why, such a pretty girl would keep him." ... well, I don't know any more. at will You can go anywhere in the city of Gillum."

　If you say so, you'll walk away from Ray.
　"I didn't know why I was so displeased, and while I was wondering whether to leave the counter empty or not, I noticed the landlady of the inn coming towards me and exhaled with relief."

"Mr. Ray, you are leaving tomorrow.
"Oh, thank you for your help for a while, but I've got the Lem Race over, and it's about time we're in the town of Guillum."
"Well... I'm sorry to say goodbye to Seto, but I can't help it." I can't thank Mr. Ray enough to fulfill his request to subjugate the REM race. Thank you very much. "However, after all, the room remained in that corner... would you like to stay in an ordinary room at least today? Of course, the price is the same as before." The number of customers is decreasing considerably now that the REM race has been settled."

　Ray struggled for a few seconds with the landlady's words, but eventually shook his head slightly.

"No, I don't mind as it is. I'm used to that room now. I can't afford another room now."
"Is that so?" I said, "Well, at least I'll serve you something gorgeous. You eat dinner at the inn, don't you?"
"Oh, that's what I meant,"

　Ray replies to the landlady, smiling bitterly at herself, who is already talking about dinner, even though it's only before noon.
　However, it is common for Ray to lose his appetite and go elsewhere to eat. Even in that case, I would normally eat meals served at the inn.

"Well, that's why I'm leaving town tomorrow. Thank you for all your help."
"No, that's not it. We are the ones who have been helping Mr. Ray in many ways. ... well, don't hate her too much. I think there was a kind of admiration for someone close to me who was an adventurer and who had the ability to beat the REM race."
"... oh, I see,"

　Ray finally understands why the landlady told me that.
　Make a small nod and open your mouth to the landlady.

"I'm sorry, but I don't mean to sit here."
"Yes, I know," I'll follow her here, so don't worry."
"Well, please,"

　Ray leaves the inn after telling her that.
　When I left the city tomorrow, I wanted to say hello to some people, and I wanted to buy as much seafood as I could buy.





"Oh, Ray. What's wrong with the harpoon?"

　The first to come was a dwarf smith whom Ray had made a harpoon. As soon as he sees Ray, he gives the dwarf owner a small barrel of ale he bought on his way to shake his head.

"I'm going out of town to-morrow," It's a round-trip to greet the person you've helped."
"... well, the idea of throwing your harpoon and drawing in the victim who was stabbed with something like a chain or string was interesting, and I wish I had stayed a little longer if possible. and forgive me for my sake."
"I never thought the sea monster would show up. I'm glad you made me that harpoon, but I've never used it."
"Well, that's not it, is it?" It's not your fault, is it's your fault.Well, eventually the monster will come back even if you don't like it. As a resident of this city, I honestly don't want monsters to come out. And now fishermen are catching fish as if they were recovering their losses."
"I don't think there are any monsters, but I wonder why fish are so common."
"Well, you can only think that Rem race did something. ... oh, yes. Wait a minute."

　Put a barrel of ale in it and head to the back of the shop... a dwarf. When he came back a few minutes later, he was carrying a barrel of water.

"Take this with you, too, for it's a good opportunity. It's an additional minute."

　a dwarf for placing a barrel on the floor Ray intuitively knew what was inside the barrel by the sound he heard as he did so.

"You don't have enough garbage to fill the barrel in this short time, do you?"
"Oh, don't worry. I'm the only one who collected this.Well, I just collected the garbage that was no longer available at the arms and blacksmiths in this city, so I was thankful that I wouldn't have trouble disposing of it."
"...I'm sorry, I'm saved,"

　Contrary to her stern-looking face, Ray thanked her unexpectedly caring Dwarf with a small smile.
　Stretch out and put it in the mistling.

"Well, come back to this town when you feel like it. I can do the harpoon for throwing, if it is necessary to do so."
"Oh, I'm sorry. ... Then I'll go."
"Oh, I don't think you have to worry because you have the strength to beat the REM race, but be careful going home tomorrow."

　With this in his back, Ray left the blacksmith's shop.





"Grull".

　After leaving the blacksmith's shop in Dwarf, I'm heading to the Arctos stall, and Seto, who was walking next to Ray, chants as if he's hungry.Scratch your head and say hello to it with a smile on your face.

"If you go to the Arctos stand, I'll order okonomiyaki, so please wait a little longer."
"Guru..."

　He shrugs at Ray's words and continues to walk, looking to the ground.
　Of course, there are many other stalls and restaurants around. But if he still wanted to eat it lightly, Ray had decided to buy it at the Arctos stand, which he had helped him with.
　Then, after walking for about 10 minutes, the scorched smell of the sauce drifts from around.
　The smell of it, which stimulates Ray's appetite, makes Seto look up and yell as if he had finally recovered his energy.

"Gurling...Gurling!"

　As he repeatedly looks back at Ray quickly and quickly, Ray himself helps him to become hungry and heads for the Arctos stall with a small smile.
　And what I saw was more than 20 customers swarming around the stalls.
　Everyone looks as if they can't wait, and it's obvious that it's not like any kind of conflict. that is to say, those who are here...

"It's very prosperous again,"

　Yes, as Ray said, they must have come looking for Arctus food. Originally, Arctos stalls were famous as stalls serving delicious food, and Arctos himself is a prominent figure in the city. These synergies may have made Ray's teaching of seafood okonomiyaki extremely popular.

"Gururu..."

　Seto was always bowing and asking, "What are you going to do?" But Ray had no option to leave as long as he was here to say hello.

"Are you in line?"
"Grull".

　a set that nods in response to Ray's However, the appearance was not as lively as before, and it made me feel somewhat depressed.
　The purpose was to get hungry and enjoy seafood okonomiyaki, but when I actually came here, I guess it was quite a shock that there were so many people waiting in line that I couldn't eat it yet.

"... shall we eat this while we wait?"

　Feeling sorry for her, Ray takes the dried meat out of the mistling and offers it to her, but Seto refuses to eat it with a small shake of his head.
　Even if it were Seto, he must have been full of the feeling that now that he has come this far, he is hungry and eats okonomiyaki.
　Ray was surprised by Seto's unexpected appearance, who was honest with his appetite in both good and bad ways, but he nodded quietly and waited his turn.
　There are a few who are surprised to see Seto and Ray, but most of the others don't make a fuss because they know one and one of the most famous people in the city of Emocion in many ways...no, wait for their turn, gently stroking and killing time.
　As long as it was okonomiyaki, it was possible to bake as many pieces at the same time, and the number of guests who had been around 20 gradually decreased, and eventually Ray's turn came without waiting too long.

"Huh? Oh, Ray. And Seto, too."
"It's very much in fashion, isn' Other stalls sell okonomiyaki, but I've never seen so many people lined up like this."
"Grull".

　a tone of urging from Ray's voice
　While watching it, I would like to ask for okonomiyaki afterwards.

"I'd like to see four of them."

　Looking behind us, we saw more new customers lining up as we moved forward, and as a result, the length of the line remained the same.

"It's a little bad for us to eat alone." Just two."
"Oh, here you go," It's hot and fresh, so be careful."

　With that voice, a plate of okonomiyaki and fork are offered.
　A short distance from the stalls, by the way, several people employed as dishwashers were seen frantically washing dishes, forks and other dishes.

"Well, now. This is for Seto."
"Ringling!"

　Move to a place a little further away with the urgent sound of cetto and place a plate on the ground, and as if you had been waiting for it, you'll eat okonomiyaki with kuchibashi.
　Watching it, Ray also cuts a plate of okonomiyaki with a fork and carries it to his mouth... he opens his eyes in spite of himself.

"This is..."

　Little time has passed since Ray taught Arctos about okonomiyaki. Nevertheless, the okonomiyaki Ray ate was already quite different from before.
　Of course, it's not that the taste has faded, it's that it' It has a crispy texture on the outside, and the fluffy texture on the inside is still filled with the flavor of shellfish. When chewed at the same time, the flavor of fish and shrimp spreads throughout the mouth, leaving the taste and sweetness of finely chopped kiberg vegetables.

(...different soup stock?)

　When Ray taught me, I used chicken broth to melt flour, but the okonomiyaki I'm eating now seemed to me to be more of a seafood broth that Ray knew than the one I ate then. At the same time, you can see that the dough is impregnated with a fairly strong flavor of soup stock.

"It's delicious."

　Ray swallows his first bite and turns a startled glance toward Arctos.
　Arctos, who glances at Ray's astonishment, smiles masculinely as he grills okonomiyaki, while retracing ingredients such as fish, shellfish and shrimp in a nearby net.

"I'm a cook, though I look like this." The food you taught me was certainly highly complete, but there were many improvements. This okonomiyaki is the result of putting it into my hands. Well, thanks to that, okonomiyaki is now the main dish."

　They must be happy to see their guests happy with their food, even though they tell them they have complaints. Carry the prawns that had been grilled on the net to Ray's plate.

"Well, thanks to you, I've got a dish that could be a specialty of this town. Eat this, too.
"Ah, oh,"

　You've seen Ray's diet several times before and probably knew he loved shrimp. And on Seto's plate, which had already eaten up okonomiyaki with the large kuchibashi, a large fish is placed.

"I've had a lot of luck since you came to town. Lem lace, seafood okonomiyaki. It's unthinkable in this city a little while ago. That is why those who live in this city are grateful to you."

　Ray's words, as if he knew he was leaving the city tomorrow, give a different little look of surprise.

"Well, if you've been on a street stall for many years, you'll know what he's got to say by his face. Especially you're quite easy to understand. ... anyway, if you have a chance, you can come back to work or play. I'll try to make okonomiyaki even more delicious by then."
"... oh,"
"Glu".

　Ray and Sett nod softly to Alctos' clumsy but kind consideration.
　Thus, the last day in the city of Emocion was lively and enjoyable, and passed with one tongue and the other.
