about four days out of the city of Emocion The reason it took more days to go was simply because Ray and Sett took time to hunt and disassemble the monster.
　After all, Ray and Sett had knocked down and dismantled the oak before it caused damage to the surrounding area... more accurately, it was regrettable to miss the relatively delicious oak, even though it wasn't that high of a monster.
　However, Ray was dissatisfied with the fact that there were no superior or rare species in the population of Hagare Oaks, and all of them were ordinary Oaks.
　Anyway, even though they spent more time dismantling the oak like that, they arrived from the city of Emosion to the city of Gillum at an overwhelming rate compared to traveling on the ground normally. To avoid surprises to those traveling around the city of Gillum, they move to the main gate of the city of Gillum with travelers after landing near the highway.
　Not a few people who come to the frontier town of Gilm and walk along the road know about Seto. Most of them smile small at the sight of Seto, some of whom seem to feed him dried meat.
　But it's my first time in the city of Gillum...or for those who came after the Reys left for the city of Emocion, there are others who are almost reflexively trying to escape, surprised by the Gryphon of the Rank A monster they'd never seen before. He had taught them that those who knew the situation were all right, and he had half a doubt on them.
　Rey arrives in front of the main gate with all those glances on her eyes.
　Since summer has already begun, the surrounding temperature is rising rapidly. But the reason why it doesn't feel so humid is because the city of Gilm is rather in the mountains... more precisely in the grasslands. Still, the hot ones are still hot, so those who are going through the process of entering the city are lining up sweating. In the midst of this, Ray, wearing a temperature-modifying dragon robe, lined up in line without a sweat, and eventually saw the face of a man with a stern beard for the first time in a long time.

"Hi, Ray," It's been a long time no see."
"Oh, yes," Come to think of it, was there no figure of Langa when I headed to the city of Emocion?"

　Ray hands the guild card to Langa, remembering the time he left the city of Guillum.
　Langa smiles bitterly as she gets the guild card and goes through the process quickly.

"It was just a holiday that day," I spent time with my wife and children."
"...what?"

　I heard something unexpected from the bottom of my heart. Ray looks at Langa with a look of amazement like that.

"Did you get married?"
"Yes. I'm a childhood friend, but about ten years ago."
"...I see,"

　What kind of things do you like? Ray tried to say that, but in Ranga's case, he was certainly strong-faced but gentle, and loved by his subordinates. In addition, he earns money by being the captain of the security force.
　Considering these factors, I find it surprisingly a good property.

"Well, the proceedings are complete. Welcome home, Ray, set."
"Grull".

　Seto's voice sounds happy at Langa's words.
　Ray finally comes back from surprise and puts the guild card he was given into a mistling and puts a demon necklace around Seto's neck.

"Well, I'm going away for a while now..."

　I remember having said that, and having promised to go to the labyrinthine city with Elena in the next two months.

"I have some plans, but I'm going to stay quiet in the town of Gilm for about two months, so please take care of me."
"Yes. Well, now that you've got another name, I understand you're busy with a lot of things. But don't make too much noise?"

　Ray tried to say something back to his tone of voice, which was predetermined to cause a disturbance, but if he remembered all the disturbances he had caused in the streets of Gilm, he could not have said them.

"Oh, yes," I'll be as careful as possible."
"Yes, please," Come on. The people of the city were lonely because Seto wasn't there."
"Grull!"

　Langa's words make her cry joyfully, and leave her as she goes into the city.
　Watching the scene with a wry smile, Ray greets Langa briefly before heading into the city.
　Langa, who was looking at him from behind, opens his mouth with a happy expression on his face and a troubled expression on his face the next moment.

"As I said, I'm sure there'll be trouble."

　A natural troublemaker... well, one person and one person who can be called a trouble-in other words, trouble-inducing behavior. Even Langa had no choice but to give up and admit that she was unlikely to be able to spend a quiet time.
　I still don't hate Ray or Seto because I know from experience that the trouble is often good for the city.
　In many ways, the city became busy, and as a result, the number of guards would increase, and a wry smile would come to mind.





"Oh, Ray! And Seto! I heard you're out of town for a while, but are you back?"
"Oh! It's Seto-chan, Seto-chan." Mom, may I feed Seto?"
"Well, go and buy sandwiches at that store."
"Gu, Gryphon!"
"Come on, don't draw your sword. Look, you're neatly dressed as a demon. Don't worry, Seto won't attack anyone."
"The devil? The Gryphon? . . Hah! I see, then the crimson that the boy hears!"

　As soon as Ray and Sett appear on the main street, passersby, street vendors, and even passersby adventurers look at them as if they were being sucked in.
　Regardless of Ray, he has an unparalleled presence when it comes to Seto in terms of attracting attention.
　Meanwhile, an adventurer who seemed surprised to see Seto approaches Ray alone.
　...yes, to Ray when most people are concentrating on Seto.
　Leather armour, thought to have been made of monster skin, and long sword around waist. He's a man dressed as a typical light fighter who emphasizes mobility.
　open one's mouth with a friendly smile

"I beg your pardon, but are you sure you are an adventurer called crimson?"

　Ray looks slightly surprised at the call. Of course I knew how my appearance would look to others, so it was surprising that I was suddenly asked in polite language.
　At any rate, I couldn't treat the person who spoke politely with arrogance, so I took down the hood I was wearing.
　At that moment, the effects of the Dragon Robes bring summer-specific heat to your face, which has been cool up until now.

(I see, wearing leather armor might be a good way to protect against the heat.) Heatstroke and dehydration will be normal if you wear full plate armour in this heat. and, above all, ... strong.)

　Ray nods softly, half instinctively aware of the strength of his approaching opponent.

"Oh, it's definitely been called crimson." Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, my lord wanted to see you, who had achieved unprecedented results in the war against the Empire of Bestia. Fortunately, the lord is now staying in the town of Gilm, and if you don't mind, will you meet him?"

　My lord. Such a remark means that the man in front of me is not an adventurer, but a master serving me. Ray made the decision, but his words remained the same.

"I'm sorry, but now I have to report to you that I'm back in the guild. It's impossible to go at once."It's not a particular request from the guild to defeat the Rem race designated as the head of the prize money. But I still worried Lenora and Kenny when I left for the city of Emocion to defeat the Lem Race, and I'd like to say hello to Marina, the guildmaster. That's what I said, but surprisingly, the person standing in front of Ray nods with a small smile.

"I went to the city of Emocion to defeat a monster called Remrace. I've heard about it, so I don't mind if you finish your report. what do you think?"

　Ray is subtly disturbed by the person who tells me in a calm tone. However, the person in front of him couldn't give up so much to the aristocrats who were probably working with him, so he gave a sigh and nodded.

"All right. That's all right. I'll let you go after I go to the guild."
"That's not the case," I'll get you a cab."
"... All right,"

　I don't know why he was so polite, but Ray understood that the person in front of him was not just saying it out of kindness. There are more than a few knights and warriors around who seem to serve the nobility than the inhabitants of the city who are pleased with Ray and Sett's return. and all of them looked at Ray with some abominable eye... no, at the man in front of him.
　A man with that kind of gaze breathes a sigh of relief, fully aware of it.
　It was because I was able to make the first contact with Ray, my goal.

(You were lucky.)

　Now, the streets of Gilm are crowded with nobles who are trying to win Ray over to their camp, or who have been ordered to do so by them, even if it is impossible. Those who try to take Ray's close friends hostage are being ruled out by the wolves of the grass led by Egg and by Marina, the guildmaster, and the rest are those who want to contact him without using dirty tricks. What remains in the city, however, is probably the extent of Ray's war with the Empire of Bestian war.
　By chance, the man who was able to contact Ray before the others spins his words, thanking him privately for his good fortune.

"Then shall we go at once?" I have something to do with the guild, so may I come with you?"
"Oh, yes," There seem to be a lot of reasons, and I don't mind. Let's go, Set.
"Grull".

　Seto, who was given a hot dog by the owner of a nearby stall, returns to Ray's throat.
　Ray, who noticed one of the hot dogs covered in paper was tucked away by the stick, was responding with a small wave of his hand. It seems to be Ray's share.
　Ray also raises his little hand to thank the owner and bites at the hot dog he was given by Seto.
　The crispy outside, crispy inside, boiled sausage and sour sauce beautifully harmonize Ray's tongue.
　Surprised by the unexpected deliciousness, Ray finishes his meal in no time and heads to the guild accompanied by the man who speaks to Seto.
　On the way, they eventually arrive at the guild, being approached by city dwellers, adventurers, merchants, or anyone who solicited Ray.

"Mr. Ray is very much liked by the people of the city."
"Not me, but this one,"

　stroke Seto on the head with a small smile at the man's words.
　Seto squints and accepts Ray's hand pleasantly.

"See you later,"
"Grull".

　It's been a long time, but that's enough for Set to understand Ray's intentions and move to the waiting space to lie down.

"You seem to be very clever.

　When Ray hears the man muttering, he nods, taking it for granted.

"Well, Seto is a high-ranking monster, and he's much smarter than the rest of us. As I have just seen, I understand this language very well."
"I see. That's why we were able to run through the battlefield together. the word "human and horse" does not fit with the Gryphon."
"Well, I'll do my business, so you can do your business there."
"Leave it to me. I'll have a carriage ready soon, and I'll call you when I'm done."

　With that voice on his back, Ray walks into the guild. Then...

"Oh! When did Ray come back?"

　Kenny immediately finds Ray and waves with a smile.
　Next to him, Lenora was also bowing with a small smile, rejoicing at Ray's safety.
　Adventurers in the guilds and those in the bar similarly turn their eyes to the guild entrance by the name of Ray.
　For better or for worse, Ray is the center of attention in the city of Gilm.
　But Ray ignores those people's eyes as if he didn't care, and heads straight to the counter.

"It's a little late, but I'm back." We have succeeded in defeating the Lem Race."
"Yes. I thought you couldn't have failed to kill the moneyhead even though you were a monster."
"But I think you were worried about Ray every day?"
"Well, that's the same with Lenora, isn't it, Ray?" Weren't there any strange insects in the harbor?"
"... strange insects? No, especially insect monsters..."

　Ray bends his head at Kenny's words. When Kenny sees it, he breathes a sighs of relief.

"Is there a guild master? I'd like to say hi to him".
"There's no guildmaster today." I'm going out to the lord's house for a while. I'll let you know later that Mr. Ray is back."
"Is that so?" But then, Mr. Dusker is back."
"I hear you've been busy in the royal capital..."

　Kenny mutters with a little shrug on his shoulders.
　At that time, Ray continues to speak regardless of the other adventurers' eyes shaking.

"Well, then I think we'd better leave the greeting to the guildmaster behind."
"Well, then, Ray," What was the town of Emocion like?"

　So I ended up talking to Lenora and Kenny for about 20 minutes.
