"...is it all right?"

　On the way home from Levisor's house, Ray calls out to Elena, caressing Seto on the head as he walks next to her.
　At Ray's words, Elena nods with a smile around her mouth.

"I found out by meeting him in person. He is a typical dead man of power who is only interested in his own interests. just like the nobles in the aristocracy and the king's faction."

　Ray could not deny Elena's remark. In fact, I've seen many such nobles.
　It's been some time since we had dinner at Levisor, but it's still early in the evening. You can see the red sunset in the sky.
　Even if evening had come, the hot air still enveloped Egidil.

"But it's hot, isn't it?" Wouldn't it have been better for you to drive me in a carriage?"

　Elena glances at the setting sun.
　Just as I was leaving the Levisor house, the adventurer who came to pick me up in front of the dungeon said he would drive me off.
　However, for a man who refused Schaffner's suggestion without any questions and answers, he could not help a carriage and walked around the city like this.
　The Levisor family is to the east of Egzil, so it is walking straight west of Egzil...as it is said that more than 200,000 people live there, Egzil is very large. Determined that it would be impossible to get back to the inn, let alone the guild, Ray looks at the cab and opens his mouth.

"Why don't you take a cab?"
"Well, I don't mind... what about Seto? As expected... No, he seems to be all right."

　I agree with Ray with a wry smile as I look at the carriage ahead of my eyes.
　There were monsters like Big Boa and Bicorn walking behind a carriage.
　Perhaps the person in the carriage tamed it or called it out by subpoena.

(It's probably a tamed monster, since it won't be a problem once it's returned to its original place.)

　with a murmur of one's content
　But while Elena's ideas were right, some were wrong.
　Summoning magic consumes magic not only when summoning but also when repatriating -- returning objects to their original locations. In other words, considering the consumption of magical power, it would be better to leave the monster called as long as there is not much time left to spare, and you can respond immediately in case of emergency.

　Anyway, for a little extra money, Sett is allowed to follow the cab, and Ray and Elena go straight to the guild in a cab.
　The monsters who followed behind the carriage seemed to have gotten used to it, although they were scared at first, perhaps because of the demons working in the labyrinthine city.
　The reason why the movement is still somewhat awkward is probably because it's still difficult to get used to the glyphon completely.





　Fortunately, the Lays, who had left the cab for the guild, were still able to reach the guild before it was completely dark.
　However, as long as it was in the evening, it was naturally very crowded because the adventurers who returned from dungeon bought their materials and magical stones in guilds, or because the adventurers who had been asked to do so received rewards.
　Until now, Ray and others had been using the guild only when there were few people, so many of them knew Ray's name or crimson, but not many saw it in person.
　As for Elena, it is fortunate that she is not known that she is a princess, since she is hidden by the wishes of the Guild and the upper egzil -- the Silwa, Maaschel, and Levisor families.
　However, as long as there are mercenaries from Egzil in the Spring War, it is only natural for some to know Elena. Nevertheless, Elena's identity did not spread because many feared that they would not know what to do with her if she were carelessly involved with the Duchess, or because she had been nailed by the guild.
　In any case, the adventurer who knows Ray is surprised by his presence and the first person who sees him understands Ray's face and name, so he turns straight to the buying counter.
　Even in the guild, there was a lot of staff working on it at the time of filling out, but even so, the procession was never stopped and a procession was formed. A few adventurers approached the Lays, who lined up at the back of the procession...

"Stupid! Don't do that!"

　Knowing the adventurers' intentions, the adventurers of acquaintances hastily stop.
　The smiles on the faces of the men who approached them were probably because they were atrocious.

"What, crimson, what a strong-faced fellow he is, isn't he?" I've got a pretty good woman on my side, and I'm just going to embarrass you a little bit."
"Don't do that! It looks like a mere kid on the outside, but there's no doubt that his ability is real."
"What? Are you scared of kids like that?"
"Oh, that's scary. I'm hearing from a guy who took part in the spring war. It is also true that rumors have burned up the vanguard of the Vestian Empire. Besides, there is still a rumor here, but there is also a connection to the Silwa family."
"...Really..."

　As the adventurers watching Ray talk like that, a Guild official, who looks like he's in his 40s, approaches Ray and Elena and calls them out as if to prove it.

"Mr. Elena, Mr. Ray and Mr. Bosque are waiting in the same room as before. Please go upstairs as soon as possible."

　a loud voice that is deliberately heard by adventurers watching Ray around

(No, it must have been true that he actually intended it.)

　Understand the guild staff's intentions and nod after looking at Elena.
　For those who know who Elena is -- and, of course, the guild -- they want to prevent an unknown adventurer from getting involved in her and thus offending her.
　However, as long as we are being asked to conceal Elena's background, we can't reveal it. The result would have been to inform others that Ray and Elena had a close relationship with the Silwa family.

(Well, I don't mind if the noise goes away.)

　Ray nods to the guild staff, as the noise that had been heard up until a few seconds before diminishes, especially as the adventurer who was trying to get involved with him leaves the Silwa family, unwilling to stare at him.

"All right, Elena."
"Yes, I understand,"

　He nods to Rey's words as if he were a messenger, and leaves the line and goes up to the second floor of the second floor of the guild.
　As she goes up the stairs, Ray looks at Elena walking next to her and calls out.

"It's a very good day for the upper egzil,"
"No, that's not true. Perhaps the Silwa family at first... the Bosque was what we had to do, waiting in the guild we had met before. I think the exact course of action is that Schaffner Levisor, who guessed it, interfered with it from the side."

　Look small and startled at what Elena says.
　But as soon as he left the dungeon, an adventurer came in contact with the Levisor family, and was driven into the carriage with little ado, if polite.

"Well, does that make sense?" But do you think it was just an excuse to ask them to sell the magic stones?"

　Ray asked Elena, who was walking next to him, but it was a completely different voice that came back to him.

"No, it's not. I don't know what the purpose is, but it's true that the Levisors and the Maaschels are passionately collecting magical stones. Furthermore, the Levisor family had less power than the Marciel family, and in order to do something about it, he asked them to sell the magical stones only to the Levisor family. They must have been trying to get in the way of Bosque and collect more magical stones that are not enough for them."

　The voice came from someone standing in front of the door where Ray and Elena were heading.
　When you're in your late 20s and early 30s, your sharp eyes and green hair in your all-back style create a smart atmosphere that strongly impresses viewers.
　It was easy to imagine what the man in front of you was like when you saw what he was wearing as what he called butler's clothes.
　It's strange, though, that the butler is in the adventurer's guild.
　You must have noticed Ray and Elena looking at you. The butler bows gracefully with his hand on his chest.

"Nice to meet you, Elena, Ray," My name is Saints, and I am the head butler of the Silwa family. Thank you very much for accepting my husband, Mr. Bosque. Mr. Bosque is already waiting inside, so please come in."
"…I see. Let me do so. Ray, let's go."
"Oh,"

　With a brief nod, Elena approaches the door with Ray. Saints then quickly returns to his original position and knocks on the door."Mr. Bosque, Mr. Elena, and Mr. Ray are here."
"Let me pass,"

　When you open the door in response to a voice from inside, it moves sideways without disturbing Ray or Elena.
　Ray and Elena walked past the Saints and into the conference room and saw a bosque glancing over some document.
　Ray opens his mouth, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the action of reading and signing documents, as it would be appropriate to be wielding a giant claymore, which is essentially his weapon.

"And why bother to call me to call you?"
"Before that, I'd like to ask you a question..."

　There Bosque pauses and throws the documents he was reading onto the table before turning his eyes to Ray and Elena.
　His eyes are sharp because he worked hard on paperwork. Or maybe Ray and Elena came to the guild too late.
　A sharp look at Ray, who thinks that way, opens his mouth to a bosque.

"I understand that before I came to the guild, I was called by the old man of the Levisor family. -- how was it?"

　When asked with a smirking, carnivorous smile, Ray shrugs his shoulders as he puts down his hood.

"You can't talk about other people's information so easily. So what is the matter?"

　Ray's answer was probably disappointing. No, or was it as expected? Bosks snort with carnivorous smiles.
　But it didn't make much sense to hide what I was talking about in the hallway as Saints asked me.

"Well, I didn't expect you to break your mouth so easily. Well, it's not hard to predict. It's probably a form of harassment against me who was waiting for you in the name of selling magic stones first to themselves."

　Or maybe I could hear what they were talking about in the hallway. Or is it simply sharp, regardless of appearance? Either way, Bosk snorts again, as if he didn't care about Schaffner's thoughts.

"Well, I don't care about old age. All he can do anyway is harass me and Pri's grandmother in detail. I wish I could do the minimum job of managing Egidil. So I'll get right to the point. You went through the 11th basement today, didn't you?"
"What? Oh, well,"

　Ray nods that he has nothing to hide about this, even though he suddenly leans at the content of the story.
　But that's probably the point for Bosque. cast a penetrating glance at Ray

"And, yes. Did you notice anything strange on the 11th basement? Tell me more specifically if possible."
"...what happened?"

　Ray, looking at himself, feels something almost murderous and asks back.
　Bosque would have glanced at Ray and decided that he would not be able to proceed without hiding the situation. exhale softly and then open one's mouth

"An abnormal species was identified in the 11th basement. in the form of a few of my younger brothers being attacked."
