a few days after one's examination of venomous nails In the meantime, Ray was eating and selling at stalls and shops, walking around the city looking for magic items or something to find, and playing with Seto with a Millerine he happened to meet in the city.
　Or, in a way, you don't know Ray, or you get entangled in and fight him off by an adventurer who just came to Gilm, and in a way, you spend your daily life as usual.
　Of course, I didn't spend all my time playing. They were gathering information about the labyrinthine cities they were planning to visit soon, or conducting death-size combat exercises in front of a stable in the Wheat-tei at dusk.
　At that time, as a result of a mock battle at the request of an adventurer staying at an inn, one after another, we ended up having to play a mock battle with nearly 20 adventurers one after another, and it was natural in a way that we ended up winning more than 50 consecutive games.
　The reason why he won 50 games in a row against 20 people is because he was an adventurer and came back while others were fighting, even though he took a blow from Ray.
　For the adventurers staying at the inn, the mock battle between the Rank B adventurer and Ray, who is also known as Ray, is a good time to gain, and Ray also pointed out the bad places of his opponent, so in a way, it must have been his own fault.
　Even adventurers could say they were very lucky to get acquainted with Ray, a Rank B adventurer, outside of their own training.
　In addition, non-adventur guests watched the mock battle as if they were spectators, some of whom were betting on how long they could withstand Ray.
　However, in the end it was decided to break up after being struck by lightning by Lana, the hostess of the inn.
　Ray would then end up being scolded by Lana.
　Ray had been spending such a few days, but the day before, a messenger from the guild came and was ready to meet with the nobles, and the next day... that is, he had been informed to come to the guild shortly after noon today.

"Lords, I don't think you can hire me."
"Grull?"

　That's not the case, let's just whine.
　But Ray goes down the main street silently caressing Seto's head.
　Given the guild's messenger's request to avoid buying and drinking in the form of lunches, Ray's buying and drinking at street stalls and stalls has already become quite widespread.
　...however, it's strange not to be famous, considering that you buy in bulk and store it in the item box.
　If you keep walking like that without buying and drinking, you'll eventually arrive at the guild.

"Grull".

　After the cet sings briefly, it moves to its usual place -- it's already turned into a dedicated space for the cet, and even without the cet, the demons and horses don't approach it -- and then again, as usual, into the guild.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," Hello. I've heard from the top, so please wait a little longer. I'll send you a carriage in a minute."

　As soon as Lenora finds Ray, she tells him so.
　There were always Kenny who would get involved in such a Lenora, but today was probably a holiday or something like that on the counter.
　Say a word or two to the guild staff nearby, and then look back at Ray and speak to him.

"I've heard that it's okay to be with Seto, too, but you don't mind?"
"Yes, I've heard that, so I wonder if there's any problem. Even so, you're a little jealous, aren't you? I can't believe it's a luncheon with the nobles."
"...I don't think it's that good,"
"But aren't you interested in aristocratic food? It seems to be quite delicious, unlike what we ordinary people usually eat?"

　Rey nods to Lenora's words.

"When I think about it, I'm sure I was lucky to have this luncheon. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of food will come out now."
"Hmmm, I'm glad Ray seemed to be interested. ... oh, you look ready. Please go outside."

　Listen to the words, thank Lenora little, and then go out to the front of the guild.
　There was a carriage waiting in front of the guild, though less than ten minutes had passed since it entered the guild.
　It's not the carriage the guild normally uses. Ray had seen the guild horse-drawn carriage several times before, but none of them. Of course, that doesn't mean that he has a bad taste in making money, as I saw in the rank-up examination. There was no doubt that it was a guild carriage, and that it was very practical. However, elaborate decorations are engraved in various places, showing an artistry that viewers would be impressed bystanders.

(Now that you mention it, I wonder whose bad horse-drawn carriage it belonged to after all.)

　That's how Ray talks to me.

"Go ahead. We're already waiting for you know.

　I followed the guide of a coachman dressed in ostensibly elegant clothes and got into a carriage.
　Ray was a little worried about what the people around him looked at him, but decided not to worry about it, judging it to be the usual thing.

"Well, I'm off,"
"Oh, please,"

　When I answered the voice from the coachman's seat, the carriage began to move... to look out of the carriage window in the direction, and to tilt its head slightly.
　That's because I'm familiar with the path. Yes, it was on the way to the manor house of Gilm.

"Are you heading to the lord's house?"
"Yes, yes, but... have you not heard of it?"

　I remember being told that much and having only heard of having a luncheon.

"... Come to think of it, I certainly didn't hear it."
"Well, I have heard that the luncheon will be held at the lord's house."

　Ray nods inwardly.
　It's easy to imagine that Dusker, the lord of Gilm, would not want to hand himself over to other powers. Thinking about that, it would be best to have a luncheon under your supervision and not send Ray to anyone in the end.

(Well, I'm not going out of this city myself, after all.) It is certainly better to stay on the frontier when it comes to the art of sorcery.)

　mutter inwardly in a carriage seat, gazing out the window at the view.
　As they do so, the carriage stops in front of the familiar outer gate, and the coachman and gatekeeper exchange a word or two and go in.
　Then a carriage stopped in front of the gate of the lord's house, and the door was opened by the coachman.
　As Ray stepped down from the door, he suddenly noticed a lot of eyes on him.

(No, I'm not the only one.)

　To be exact, about half of my gaze is on me and the other half is on to Seto.

"Can I have Seto with me?"
"Yes, that's what I hear,"

　Just to be sure, he asked the coachman, but it was judged that there was no particular problem there, and he went straight into the lord's residence with Seto... before long a maid approached him and whispered to him.
　The coachman nodded and looked at Ray behind him.

"I'm sorry, but I'm taking some time, so I'll let you head towards the venue, is that all right?"
"I don't mind that, but can I wear this dress?"

　Ray looks down at his dragon robe and asks.
　Dragon robes themselves are the finest magic items, but many ordinary nobles may not understand how effective they really are because of their cover-up effects. But...

"I don't care," I don't think anyone who doesn't see the effects of the robe is entitled to speak to Ray."

　When Ray hears the remark, he opens his eyes wide.
　This is because it was a word that could only come out if you could see the cover-up effect of dragon robes.

"Come this way, then,"

　I was guided with the words, and eventually I reached the door.
　and at the end of the opened door was the lord's garden. And...

"Well, you've come well," I've been waiting!"

　He looked like Marka in a pale green dress.
　Of course, there are quite a few aristocrats besides Marka. As far as Ray looked, there were about thirty people. Some of them know each other, such as Arnicht and Orchide, but almost all of them have never seen their faces.
　Most of the aristocrats there were standing and talking, or serving dishes on tables in the garden.It's what we call a garden party.

"This is..."

　What Ray had heard was that a dinner would be held, meaning he expected a meal that would require formal manners.
　But that's not what's spreading right now, it's more of a home party for friends. It's not a party being held in the house, but a stand-up party being held in the garden, so it's probably a pleasant atmosphere.
　In fact, many people dress like Marka, while others dress comfortably. In what appears to be the guards of the aristocrats in the corner of the garden, there are also wizards in robes, knights in armor, and warriors with swords.
　Fortunately, none of the wizards seemed to have the ability to sense magic, and there was no scene like this that surprised Ray's magical powers, which is said to be the norm in this kind of situation.

(I see, it certainly doesn't stand out in my own way.)

　A man approaches Ray when he is convinced in his heartily.

"Hahaha. What a surprise, huh? Well, I don't like manners or anything. It's easy to stand up and eat like this way.
"Thank you, Mr. Dusker, for inviting me this time."

　Ray bowed to the approaching Dusker with a big smile.
　But Dusker swings the left hand of the one who doesn't have the wine glass, telling him not to worry.

"I've told you, haven't I?" You don't have to worry about formal manners. It's not here. But I'll introduce you to everyone, so come here."

　With the words, Dasker takes Ray and Sett to the center of the hall -- or the center of the garden.
　The aristocrats who enjoyed conversation, cooking, or the sight of the summer garden must have noticed them.
　Well, it would be strange not to notice that the participants at this party were all for Ray and Seto.

"I'm sorry, boys, but pay attention." As you can see, Ray, the star of this party, has arrived. And, as many of you know, it's Ray's subservient and Gryphon's Seto. Gryphon is a monster who is even called the Death of the Sky, but as you can see, Seto is quiet and never harms anyone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I want you to remember that."

　A nobleman of character would have complained about Dusker's words. Or even a Gryphon might have been making a fuss about what it was like to have a monster in a party.
　But those in this room are the chosen aristocrats, except for Ray's potentially troubled counterparts. That's why we've collected enough information about Ray and Sett beforehand, and above all, Ray's assessment includes Sett, a glyphon. In fact, it is also true that even in the war against the so-called Vestian Empire, without Seto, the enemy's vanguard could not be severely damaged.
　And it's easy to see how quiet or friendly Seto is when you gather information in the city. Therefore, the nobles here accepted without a word that there was no danger.

"Thank you, Lalx, for inviting me to such a wonderful party today. ... Ray, it's been a few days. Have you been doing well since you were promoted to Rank B?"

　Introduced to Ray along with Seto, there was someone who immediately approached him.
　However, it may have been because he and Ray were acquainted with each other that he spoke to them casually. I'm Arnicht, who was with me on the rank-up exam.
　Ray found that his attitude was so soft compared to that of the rank-up exam, and he seemed surprised for a moment, but he quickly agreed.

(As expected, his attitude at the rank-up exam was a pretense.)

"How are you?"

　Orchide raises his hand to Ray as if he were following Arnicht.
　Such a friend's manner twitched his cheek before opening his mouth.

"Hey, Orchide. If you're going to say hello first, Larkus will be the first one to do so."
"Hahaha. I don't care. I'm rude today. or I wouldn't have called Ray in the first place."
"...I'm sorry, Larkes," My friend..."
"Ouch, Arnicht! Get your hands off my head."

　Orchide is protesting against Arnicht, who forces him to bow, but of course Arnicht should not have considered it.
　And after seeing this conversation, he probably decided that it was time to talk to Ray. Many aristocrats will call out to Ray.
　Nevertheless, Ray has already turned down an invitation from the Duke and Duchess of Quent. Most of them focused on getting to know each other, not on serving.





　And contrary to Ray, who was dealing with the nobility, Seto enjoyed a delicious meal fed by the other nobles at the party, or had a graceful time caressed.
