The day after Skelton's battle with an aberrant species sold his corpse and four magical swords to the Silwa family. Ray was on the street of Egzil.
　What's unusual is that you're not heading for the dungeon, you're heading for the main gate of Egzil.
　And above all, Elena and Yero, who have been working with Ray since coming to Egzil, are missing.
　Originally, Elena was expected to come with us when it came to stripping the material. But all of a sudden, an invitation from the Maaschel family forced me to go there.
　Of course, Ray was worried about sending only one Elena to the Maaschel family.
　Unlike the Silva of Bosk, the Levisor of Schaffner, and the Fraut of Bune, the house had never had any contact.
　one of the three families governing Egzil The number of people employed is small, and in a sense it is the strangest family in Egzil.

(And... there is no doubt that it has something to do with the abnormalities.)

　Ray mutters inwardly, carrying a pair of fanboa skewers to his mouth.
　Among the adventurers' parties who found the dungeon at the heart of Egzil, it did not seem to Ray that the Maaschels were descended from wizards and therefore unrelated to any unusual matter.
　But the invitation came only to Elena, who asked the guild the day before.
　Leaving the monster's corpse alone and working with Elena passed through Ray's mind, but as long as he ripped the material off outside of Egzil, it was meant to be a bodyguard from the monsters around him as well as to study material stripping.
　And, above all, Elena herself told him to leave this to himself.
　When Ray heard that, he tried to insist, but he couldn't say whether he believed in him or not, so he was heading to the main gate with Seto.

"Grull?"

　While walking next to Ray, Seto gently reaches out and pats his back.

"Well, it's no use worrying about me. Besides, Elena is far more used to communicating with other nobles than I am. Then I'll just do what I have to do."
"Gul!"

　That's right, Ray arrives at the front gate with Seto, who purrs.
　There were already more than a dozen people there, waiting impatiently for Ray to come.
　More accurately, out of 10 people who were asked to do so, there were 14 people in total: Teabia, Esetus, Nact, and Goth, whom Ray helped in the dungeon yesterday.

"...huh,"

　The reason I muttered in spite of myself was that I found Tivia in the crowd with no end to her right shoulder.
　Even though he suffered a serious injury that would have cost him an arm, the next day he was able to go out in this way, which is an overwhelmingly superior treatment technology compared to what Ray knows in Japan.
　Thinking this way, Ray approaches the group with Seto and opens his mouth, feeling his eyes are on him.

"You've come together very well. Do you mean those who have been asked to strip me of the monster's material that I've submitted to the guild, and if you've come for any other business?"

　Ray's words are so quiet that everyone on the spot doesn't disagree.
　To tell the truth, some of them were still trying to underestimate Ray's appearance and force him to raise the amount of his reward, but when they saw Ray's set, they didn't have the courage to imitate him and remained silent.

"... All right, it looks like we're all here." Oh, and some people may be wondering if there are 14 of them even though the number of clients is 10, but they're supposed to help us free of charge. Therefore, I would like you to rest assured that even if these four participate in this request, their remuneration will not decrease."

　The words breathe a sigh of relief from some of the adventurers.
　We came here to recruit 10 people, but there were more people there than we expected, and we were worried about them.

"I think it was written on the request, but there are five kinds to be stripped: Bloody Dile, Earth Club, Spiral Rabbit, Kobolt, and Desert Lizardman. There are, however, considerable numbers of Brady Dáil and Cobolt. Of course, the names of these monsters were written on the request form, so we can assume that everyone can strip any of them of their material."

　Everyone there nods, snouts, and smiles to Ray's words as if they were trying.

"All right, the material will be stripped off in the woods outside Egzil. I wanted to do it on the plain if possible, but I don't want to be looked at strangely by people who come to Egzil. As for the vigilance of the people around him while he was ripping them off... Set."
"Grull".

　At Ray's call, he glances at the adventurers, grunting.
　Ray's eyes are round and lovely, but depending on the adventurer, it seems as if he's watching the game, and several adventurers swallow their saliva.

"This set is on the lookout, so you don't have to worry if the monster approaches because of the smell of blood. I don't think there are any monsters who will attack you once they know Seto is there, but if they do, I will...

　So he paused, took the death size out of the mistling, and swung it wide.
　The two-meter-long scythe wielding like cutting through the air gives adventurers a different kind of fear than they ever felt in Seto.

"I, nicknamed crimson, will take responsibility for repelling you. So please concentrate on stripping the material without worrying about what's going on around you. Oh, of course, what would happen if you smolder the stripped material... you know?"

　Ray spins words with a death-size handle on his shoulder.
　The reason I made such a threat before stripping the material was to intimidate them not to steal it.
　In fact, the threat, also known as the glyphons Seto and Death Size, and crimson, is etched with fear into some of the adventurers who have secretly thought of trying to imitate them badly.

"... now, do you have any questions.

　Confirming that no one would open his mouth, Ray pulls down the hood of his dragon robe and frowns for a moment in the pouring sun before opening his mouth.

"If you don't have any more questions, I'll go out of Egzil at once. Oh, you don't have to worry about lunch. I'm thinking of a monster meat, Desert Lizzardman and Bloody Dile, which I'm going to offer for lunch. As for seasoning, there are sauce and salt."

　In this case, the fear and awe of Ray among adventurers diminishes when they are told that they will treat them to monster meat.
　Candy doesn't have much effect, but I guess it's just as good as the adventurers can move.

"Well, let's get out of Egzil first."

　With Ray's words, we head to the main gate.





　It's a 30-minute walk from Egzil, a forest rather than a forest.
　There were figures of laymen and others who had been asked to strip the material.
　In addition, this forest is located a little further away from the road leading to Egzil, and even if monsters are disassembled here, they will not be seen by people heading to Egzil.
　There was also a small river running, which had the effect of easing the heat of midsummer, albeit slightly.
　But Ray chose this place among the places where he could strip off the materials he heard from the staff of the inn, not for coolness. Of course, I don't say I didn't feel that way at all, but it's more because I can wash my hands dirty with blood by disassembling monsters.
　The only drawback is the midsummer forest, and there are mosquitoes and other insects, but there was no problem with that, as some adventurers brought insect repellent magic items.

"Well, then, separate them from one another." Two dessert lizards, two earth clubs, one spiral rabbit, four Bloody Dile, and the rest are all covolts. However, when you are done stripping off your assigned monster, ask for help where you are not done yet. But the largest number is the Cobold."

　mutter, first extracting the monster's corpse from the mistling.
　Most adventurers open their eyes to the sight of a monster's corpse coming out of the mystery ring.
　Not surprising were the four Teabias who saw Mistilling in front of them yesterday.
　Of course, the information that Ray had an item box was already fairly well known, but I guess it wasn't the case to actually see it directly.

"Yes, yes, let's start working separately. I'm here to help you, but if you finish it by the end of the day, you'd better do your best. Also, don't forget to give the materials, magical stones, and proof of subjugation to Ray."

　For some reason, Tivia will be in charge, and each of them will go away while consulting.

"Mr. Ray, the Kobolt is small and there are a lot of people, so I think it'll be over soon, so you'd better pay extra." Well, it's so hot that if you take it out too much, it might taste bad, so it's important to adjust the temperature."
"Oh, indeed,"

　Even though you just lost one arm the day before, you don't have to worry about it at all and give instructions to everyone, and so do other adventurers.
　Ray had some doubts about the situation, but there was no particular problem, and he decided that there would be no problem if the stripping went smoothly, so he left the partition to Tevia.
　Ray and Elena didn't know, but Tivia's party was somewhat well-known in Egzil, and with its name value, other adventurers were obedient to instructions.

"Is this all right for now?"

　He turned to five additional cobolts from Mistiling and asked Teavia.

"Well, I don't think there's anything left over here. After that, when it's stripped off, add it to it.""Oh, ... Set, don't ask the watchmen around you."
"Grull?"

　Ray nods with a small smile, understanding what he wants to say to Seto, who asks.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll call you at lunchtime. I'd like to feed Elena and Yero, so I'll leave the Earth Club with them, but I'll feed them the meat of the other monsters."
"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Ray's words make Seto cry joyfully and leave.
　As long as the surrounding trees are overgrown, it is impossible to keep an eye on them in the sky, so they keep a distance to keep an eye out for any monsters approaching them with sharp senses or magic.
　Adventurers who see off Seto continue to peel off the material while feeling relief and anxiety.

"Bloody Dáil, don't scratch the skin. for it is not only for protection, but also for ornamental purposes."
"Tusk, tusk. First of all, don't let that tusk get in the way of ripping it off. No, no. Hold that... Why do you put a blade in there?"
"What!? I'm always like this, aren't I?"
"The earth club has a hard crust, but fortunately most of its limbs have already been dropped. After that, I will peel off the part of the shell in a good way, and then remove the magical stone.
"Cobold's right ear is the proof of subjugation. If you peel the fur off of it, it will be damaged strangely when you know.
"Hey, Desert Lizardman's skin is just the stuff, isn't it? I'm going to peel off the tail very well, so hold that way. My feet are in the way."

　While talking like that, the material was coming off smoothly, and after about an hour later, an hour had passed.

"Gurling!"

　Seto's alarming cry echoes all around him, and one of the adventurers who looks around him looking up to find the source of his voice echoes through the forest.

"Weiburn, there's Weiburn in the sky!"
