"Yes!"

　The Lays were walking through the 11th basement desert toward a small room with a magic camp. At the head of it, Beune, who was on the alert, suddenly exclaims.
　I noticed a few figures moving in our direction.
　The Reys, who noticed by Bune's voice, also turned their eyes to it, and it was true that there were a group of four adventurers on their way to the magician's cellar.
　They must have noticed it. After a moment of alarm, he breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Gryphon's set walking next to Ray.

(If you feel relieved when you see Seto, it's probably a party that received a request to defeat the same abnormal species as us.)

　The others must have felt the same way: they approach each other as they are.

"Well, good job. How did you get along there? We can't... we've encountered sandworms and other monsters, and we've been fighting each time. Well, thanks to you, I got quite a lot of materials, and overall I'm sure I'm in the black."

　Looking at the porter carrying a large load, the spearman shrugs his shoulders, telling him so.

"Don't say so. It's true that we were able to obtain a large amount of materials after all. ...well, the materials in this hierarchy are considerably cheaper than the 20th basement where we always act. Moreover, this time's goal is to the utmost extent an aberration. They say it's much stronger than the race on which it was founded. It would be unbearable to encounter an anomaly in a deeper hierarchy, let alone in this hierarchy. Then it would be more convenient to find out how abnormal species appear."

　The thief muttered so with a tired smile.
　It's not that I comfort a man with a spear... but that I'm rather telling myself.

"I'm sure... and what's going on with that?"

　A man with a spear nods to the thief's words and turns his eyes to Ray and asks.
　Having been an adventurer in Egzil, he knows what Bune is like and probably thought Ray and Elena would still be easier to talk to than Vihela, who is so belligerent as to be called a mad beast.
　--however, Ray was accompanied by a set of Gryphons, and Elena was no less remarkable than Vichela. Or perhaps it was Porter's man who was the easiest to talk to. But the porter was one step back, knowing he was a temporary worker.
　That's probably why Ray felt it was easy for him to talk to.
　Fortunately, Ray hasn't been much entangled in the streets since he came to Egzil, and his mercilessness is not well known.
　However, the nickname crimson has been exaggerated.
　Anyway, Ray opens his mouth with a small smile at the adventurer's question.

"Oh, I have safely knocked down the strange Spear Frog,"
'Really!'

　The adventurous men's voices echo at the same time.
　It was no wonder that they were surprised to hear that they had defeated someone they could not even find.

"No, but... what's the matter with the abnormal corpses? I think the Silwa family will buy them all together. They can't be used only for a small portion of the material." We were going to partake of the party and call for the Silwa family, but that's all of you, wasn't it?"

　It seems that the Silwa family knew about the people who had been asked to do so because it was a party where they had chosen to do so.
　One of the main reasons, however, is that Ray and Vihela are so conspicuous.
　While somehow understanding what they think, Ray nods that there is no problem.

"I have an item box even though it looks like this. It's not difficult to accommodate monsters that are about 3 meters long."
"Come to think of it, there was a rumor that crimson had an item box, but was that true?"

　With the man nodding in admiration, the three parties continue to march in the desert.
　We're talking about the monsters we've knocked down, and the monsters have attacked more often today.
　What surprised Ray was that several parties participating in the request had begun exploring from the 12th basement.
　After listening to the story, I was convinced that all the parties who participated in this request started to search in the small room where the magic team was located on the 11th basement floor, and there was a place where the search area would be covered by each other. Apparently some parties hated it and immediately went up the stairs to explore the 11th basement.

"Well, it was not far from the room on the 11th basement that I was attacked by an unusual species yesterday. That's why there were so many people who started their search here. It must have been a kind of gamble that went over there. I don't think it was such a bad bet, though. It's been a night since yesterday's attack."
"...is it any wonder that the speed of movement is?"

　In his mind, he sees an abnormal species jumping about 10 meters away in one jump, and Ray nods unconsciously.
　You must have been bothered by the state of it. The man with the spear asks what kind of opponent he actually had with the abnormal species, or how he proceeded with the battle.
　There is no benefit to Ray or having all the information on the abnormal species, so I'll tell you what I noticed in the battle.
　For example, unlike other Spear Frogs, they ooze fluid into the skin to some extent nullify the following attacks, and, as I heard from Bosque, they had two separate tongues and manipulated them freely enough to move independently.
　If an abnormal species of magical stone could absorb it, it might have kept the information secret. However, Ray decided that it would be in his best interest to actively disseminate information about the abnormal species and reduce the number of them, since the magical stones of the abnormal species were only harmful.
　Seto has been able to absorb, but I can't say that it doesn't have any disadvantages.

"Oh, it's unusual to be called an abnormal species,"
"But in this respect it is strictly about the Spear Frog anomaly. Abnormal species differ greatly in ability and form from one species to another. That might not be very useful information to fight against the abnormal species."

　The man with the spear shakes his head from side to side at the words he uttered with his sigh.

"There's nothing better than a lot of information. It is no loss to know how different they are from the species on which they were founded, especially since abnormal species have emerged. But when the word "other strange species" comes up..."

　Ray nods a little to the spearman, who turns a penetrating glance.

"Oh, I've fought against an abnormal species before, and I've seen Vihela fight against an abnormal species."

　twinkle, glancing unintentionally at Vihela as she and Bune move through the desert.

"Are you lucky or not?" I don't know which one."
"You're definitely unlucky, aren't you?" We're in conflict with the existence of an abnormal species."
"But you got the reward for the success of this request after all, and I don't think you're necessarily unlucky, do you?"

　Ray shrugs at the man's words.

(I was commissioned for the magic stone to be used in the art of the beast, but I was told that it could not be used in the art of the beast. I can't say I'm very lucky.

　As we continue to talk like that, we eventually arrive at our destination, a small room with wizards and stairs.

"Ah, here we are. No, it's been a long time since I went to the desert, but it's still hard."
"Especially in your case,"

　In the voice of a man with Paul Ax, a thief tells him teasingly.

"Oh, it's my partner, and I can't help but weigh a little." and it takes up less space than the scythe that little crimson, Ray, has."

　Regardless of its size and length, Ray has a huge blade that naturally takes up a lot of space to carry around.
　I usually store it in a mistling, but due to the backflow of magic and the fact that I'm not feeling well, I've left the death size as it might not be possible to handle it in case of emergency.
　That's why Paul Ax's man saw Ray's death size and said it was better than that.

"Well, now I'll go back to the ground and get paid for completing my request, and I'll send it out to the bar."
"Well, then, shall we go?" Come over there, too. Let's go back together anyway.""Do you like it? I've heard that it doesn't spread with other parties."

　Ray replied so to the spearman, but his answer was a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha," Well, I certainly care about people who care about it, but I don't care about that. Here we go."
"... Oops,"

　Are you vigorous or unthinkable? At any rate, the spearman's behavior was not unpleasant to Ray. I was surprised at Seto's presence, but I wasn't too scared, and I wasn't judged by my appearance.

(No, is it because it is a party with a certain level of ability, or on the other hand, because it has this kind of personality, it has become such a party that they are asked to kill an unusual kind of person.)

　Thinking this way in his heart, he turned his eyes on the men of Elena, Vihela, Bune, and Porter, and started the magic team... in the next moment it had spread to the square in front of the dungeon.

"Good job, sir, from the Silwa family." How's everything going? Oh, here you go. You must be thirsty after coming home from the desert."

　The man who tells him so and hands him a wooden glass of cold fruit water.
　Perhaps others have already returned to some extent, but there are some faces Ray saw in the morning around him in the morning.
　When the Silwa family saw each of them moisten their throats with fruit water under the threat of rain, they immediately spoke.

"And what happened to the abnormal species? Now that you're back alone..."

　I'm afraid it was a failure.
　Vichela interrupts the man's tone when he tries to say so.

"We succeeded in killing the abnormal species,"
"Why do you put on airs? We are the ones who succeeded in killing the abnormal species."
"Hoot, first come first."

　We look at Vichela and Elena, who are arguing lightly like that, but of course there is no such thing as an abnormal body, or as far as the man can see, there is no such thing as securing the body in a dungeon.
　While feeling the attention of the participants in the request around me, I look to find out what's going on.
　It was, in a sense, rightly so, Ray that the gaze was directed. Being a member of the Silva family, he probably had some information about Ray, who has been involved with the Silva family lately.
　However, maybe the Silwa family didn't know about the item box, or because of the scarcity, only the upper management, including the bosque, stopped the information. At least this man didn't seem to know.

(I think it would be better to let me know in this case.)

　Thinking this way, I ask the Silwa man.

"And where should I put out the dead body of an abnormal species? Is it okay here? It's quite big, so I'm going to take up some space."
"Oh, well, wait a minute. Let's see... the Silwa family. Yes, I'd like to have the building secured by the Silwa family."

　You must have taken Ray's words to mean it. Or did you think he had some special means of transportation because he was accompanied by a set, a glyphon?
　The man, half instinctively but truthful, gives instructions to his men around him in a hurry.

"Hey, please contact them as soon as possible and get ready to accept them."
"Yes!"

　Follow the words, give a quick answer, and the man who was instructed to do so runs away.
　After seeing it off, the man Ray talks to looks at the man nearby and then bows his head to open his mouth.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please follow him." I'll take you to the building that we've secured. I have to pay for other people, so I can't go with them..."
"Oh, don't worry. I'll go, then.

　When Ray turns his gaze, only Elena and Sett step forward and the others remain there.

"See you. It sounds troublesome and I'm fine."
"Yes,"

　while being sent out like that
