538 Episode 0538



Summer is coming to an end, but the heat at night is still severe.
 Although the temperature has dropped considerably since the height of summer, it had nothing to do with those who went out to town at night.
 They eat and drink in bars just to get rid of the heat, or they go to brothels in search of a woman's soft skin.
 early in the evening Ray was walking alone through the city to the evening wheat-tei.
 It is not so complicated that it took such a long time to go to the lord's residence before sunset. It was because Elena and Dusker needed to exchange information and discuss how each other's factions -- the factions of Elena's father, to be precise -- would be involved in the case.
 There was also talk about the secret activities of Egjil, such as how to deal with the introduction of the religion into Gilm.
 As a result, Ray had nothing particular to complain about because he ended up having dinner at the lord's residence and came up with a dish made from high-rank monster ingredients.
 The only concern is...

(I hope Set doesn't get upset)

 mutter inwardly and look up at the sky
 I was caught in the clouds covering the moon for a few seconds...

"Oh! There it is! It's Ray!"

 All of a sudden, I'm brought back to my senses by the voice that comes from behind me.
 At the same time, the light footsteps running toward me and the sound of jumping on the ground.
 The next moment, the weight and softness on your back.
 Still, I turned my eyes to the weight without losing my position, and found myself there a familiar cat-beast.
 Kenny was the Guild's receptionist, with a flashy face.

"Hey, it's dangerous for Ray to jump at him all of course.

 the sound of footsteps approaching a little late
 One girl with a serious look on her face came into Ray's gaze, who turned around with Kenny on her back.
 Not surprisingly, this was another acquaintance to Ray.
 This is Lenora, who, like Kenny, works as a receptionist in the guild.

"... Long time no see, Mr. Ray." Kenny has caused you trouble. Here, Kenny. Get off Mr. Ray!"
"Because it's been a long time since you last had Ray. I need to make sure you replenish Ray's ingredients like this... Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

 While returning words to Lenora, he stinks, leaning back to his back, perhaps because of Ray's concern.

"Do you smell a strange woman?"

 Kenny gazes at Ray, but Lenora breathes a little sigh and spins words to appease him.

"That's true, isn't it? Mr. Ray went to the labyrinthine city. Of course there are other adventurers, and I'm sure there were female adventurers among them."
"Well, it doesn't smell like that... Ray, do you know?"

 When asked by Kenny, Ray gently shrugs his shoulders away.

"I've been involved with a lot of adventurers. Of course there were some female adventurers."
"Really?"
"Probably,"

 Passing Ray's mind with a brief retort is a woman with the nickname of General Princess, and a seductive combat fanatic in light clothing like a dancer or prostitute.

"Well... well, that's all right? What do you think of Ray and Lenora for dinner?"

 Kenny casts a questioning glance at Ray's attitude, but immediately changes the subject and asks.
 For Kenny, it would have been more important to actually get along with Ray than his new rival, who is doubtful about his presence.
 A little while ago, Ray had dinner at the lord's house, but he still had plenty of time to spare, and he nodded softly.

"Well, I'd like to see how Sett is doing, so if you don't mind staying at the inn."
`Of course it's all right,' Hey, Lenora?"
"There's certainly no problem, though. I want to hear about Ray."

 Lenora glances at Ray with a smile.
 Lenora, who thinks Ray is her younger brother, must be honest that she is curious about what he has been through in Egzil.
 The idea of having dinner in the Wheat-tei dining room at dusk was easily decided, and the three of them started walking together.

"And yet... I can't tell you, isn't it a little late for dinner at this hour?"

 In this world where night and morning are early, not many people eat at completely dark hours.
 However, there are many people who drink in bars, and there are some people who work all night eating late-night snacks.
 But Kenny nods extensively as if he had been waiting for Ray's words.
 ...and the reason why he casually entwines his arm around Ray's is probably because he has a lot of experience on that road.

"Yes, there was a village of goblins at the back of the forest along the road. The reward calculation for the party that killed it, the purchase of materials and magical stones, and the exchange of proof of killing it. Moreover, it was not until evening that the report was made..."
"Yes, I see,"

 At the touch of Kenny's plentiful breast against his arm, Ray pulled his way to the evening wheat-tea, pale and flushed.





"...what the hell happened? No, I understand, but I don't want to..."

 Ray mutters dumbfounded at the sight that exists in front of us.

"Ah, hahahahahaha. Surely there were a lot of people who wanted to see Seto, so it was a possible situation."

 Kenny's mouth is full of bitter laughter, even as he retorts Ray'

"Wow... what do you call it, wow... it's amazing."

 Lenora mutters dumbfoundedly.
 Beyond the sight of the three of them was near the Wheat-tei stable at dusk.
 There are now nearly 20 people, although it is not originally a very crowded place.
 When they returned to the Wheat-tei at dusk, they called out to the landlady, Lana, to eat at once, when they heard that many people were gathering for Seto.

"As far as this is concerned, it was right to let Sett out of the stable."
"Well, that's for sure," and if we had that many men in the stable, there would certainly be horses that would be so excited and rampant."

 Lenora mutters as she nods at Ray's words.

"And at the heart of it is... the Mire Dog, of course?"

 a set lying in the moonlight in an open space in front of a stable Several lights were lit around it, in which Mileine gave Seto food, such as skewers, sandwiches, or stewed meat, or stroked him.
 Other faces love Seto as much as they like to feed him and caress him.
 It is the wizard who magically created the light around Seto who is breathing a little bit further away.
 This is Sulnin, a party-burning wind wizard led by Mileine, who plays the role of a stopper to keep Mileine from running wild.
 The three approach Surnin, not Mire Dog, who is obsessed with Seto.
 What I have in my hand is a sandwich from Lana.
 I received a request to hand it over to Sulnin, who had been pulled out.

"It's been a long time,"
"Oh, Mr. Ray," And Lenora and Kenny."
"Good evening,""You must be having a hard time, too."

 Lenora and Kenny both greet Sulnin, who is bowing with a small smile.
 to a poor wizard who is probably the biggest victim in this case
 To such a victim, Ray hands over his sandwich.

"Here, from the landlady," Eat this and cheer up."
"I'm sorry. ... No, I'm really sorry."

 My first apology was to have a sandwich brought to me. And the second apology, needless to say, would be to Mireneu, who is right in front of Sulnin's eyes.

"Well, I had expected this to happen when I came back to Gilmoo."
"Well, indeed," Mr. Millerine, I haven't been well for a while."

 Lenora sits in the grass on the ground and unfolds her own prepared sandwiches, and Kenny also sits down in the grass agreeing to it.
 Kenny seems to be the one who doesn't miss a chance around Ray.
 Lenora reaches for the sandwich, looking somewhat dumbfounded at such a colleague.

"Oh? Come to think of it, there are very few insects."
"They seem to have taken proper measures. Look over there."

 Beyond Sulnin's gaze was a cylindrical object about a meter high, which stood beside the stable.
 It shines a dim light as if it were defeated by the moonlight.

"""This is an insecticide magic item that prevents animals and demons in the stable from getting rid of their fatigue or getting irritated by insects." There are some places that have similar magic items, especially in this evening wheat house, which has a big stables. I suppose you place importance on that."
"Yes,"

 It wasn't Kenny... it wasn't Lenora who admired Sulnin's explanation, it was Ray.

『……』

 Kenny and Lenora look at each other silently.
 Then Kenny opens his mouth nervously.

"Well, my dear Ray," Ray has stayed at this inn for more than a year, hasn't he? But didn't you notice that magic item?"
"Well, well..."

 miscarry a sandwich to one's mouth
 It looks like a sandwich made of fresh bread, and the bread is still tender. It's sandwiched between sweet and spicy chicken and crunchy leafy vegetables, and it tastes like you can eat as much as you want.

"It's delicious."
"... Hmmm. Well, I'm hungry, too. I think I'll eat."

 That said, Kenny reached out to him when he unraveled a dried river fish.
 Lenora asked him with a look, but Kenny carried the sandwich to his mouth, completely unconcerned.

(It's a good woman's condition not to pursue a troubled man more than necessary. but if it were about another woman, it would be a different story.)

 Thinking inside like that, looking towards Lenora.

"My dear Ray," Are you back from the labyrinthine city for a while?"

 Lenora asked, eating a small bite of a vegetable and ham sandwich, but the answer was to shake her head silently.
 Water down the sandwiches in your mouth and reopen your mouth.

"I think I'll probably leave Gillum again soon. I'm getting into a bit of a little trouble."
"What? You're lying, aren't you? You're coming back and you're leaving again?"

 Kenny, who, like a cat beast, was licking the sauce on his hand, asked so involuntarily.
 Sulnin, who had heard the story, looked equally surprised.
 However, in the case of Sulnin, Ray's departure means that Seto will be gone at the same time, thinking about what will happen to their party leaders.

(No way, I'm going after Ray for Sett...)

 No. The reason why I can't say that is probably because there is a Miredog playing with Seto with a look of debauchery in front of his eyes.
 However, even Sulnin, the stopper of the Mire Dog, has to consider it dangerous in many ways to follow Ray.
 Ray, who in many ways has different fighting power from us, goes out of his way to say that it's troublesome.

"There was a lot going on at Egzil. If you don't do it well, you can end up in quite a difficult situation."
"...can't you hear of the trouble?"

 Kenny asks, twitching her cat's ears, but Ray silently shakes his head and refuses.
 To mention that I was heading to the Westian Empire at this point was to worry just because I knew how much I stood out in the Spring War.

"Well, you still have me and Set. There are other collaborators. I don't think there's much to worry about if you think about it."

 A sandwich filled with ham and cheese dared to be eaten up, and the words went on.

"And you may find out what I'm doing one of these days, so if you're curious, please wait for it."

 As long as I participate in a competition held in the Bestian Empire, it is definitely very popular.
 It won't be that long before the circumstances around that point flow down to Gilm.
 Thinking this way, he told Kenny, Lenora, and Sulnin, who looked anxiously at himself while eating sandwiches.
