"We're leaving soon, so please be careful of the monster's presence."
'All right,'

 Soldiers of the expedition respond in unison to Langa's words.
 hours after the Goblin attack Fortunately, the attack was done only once, and since then, the expedition party, which had entered the morning without any particular disturbance, had a simple breakfast and was about to leave the forest and return to Gilm.
 Naturally, it's with the members of the bloody blade.

"I should deliver this letter?"
"Oh, please,"

 Ray had been given a letter by one of the knights as Langa spoke to the expeditionaries.
 A report on the matter was written, in which Ray, with a partner named Seto, was asked to return to Gilm and hand it over to Dusker.

"I'm not worried about Ray, but I'll tell him to be careful just in case."
"What's that troublesome expression. I know, and I'll deliver it to you properly, Dusker, and leave it to you as if you were in a big boat."
"Well, I left it to Ray, and I thought I was on a mudboat, but before I knew it, I was going to be a warship."
"Tell me,"

 With a smile and a word with the knight, Ray gently turns his hand around to Ranga, who is greeting him in the distance, and straddles Sett's back.
 There was something envious about the knight's face as he looked up from the ground as he ran up to the sky after a few steps of running.
 As long as only a Dragon Knight could fly, Ray was very envious of him because he could fly as much as he wanted on a set.
 One of the reasons why he envied Ray is that he had longed to be a Dragon Knight since he was little.

(Someday, me too...)

 In that way, he muttered his dream of becoming a Dragon Knight, and then he was called back by his fellow Knight.
 This is not the time to give up to longing, but to take the captured bloodstained blade to Gilm.

"... all right,"

 muttering self-assertion, the knight returns to Langa and his fellow knights.





 Flying down the road, Ray sees a group of nearly twenty people below him.

"I don't think he'll be a thief again."

 When I look down thinking like that, there is one person waving loudly at the sky.
 It was easy to tell who the excited person was.
 Mireinu, the party leader of the scorching wind, is probably the closest to the highest level of favorability for Seto in the guillem.

"Ah... I see,"

 Come to think of it, I recall that I was going to hunt for the remnants of the Goblin, and mutter without thinking.

"Glu?"

 While Ray is trying newcomers' skills, Seto lies near the guild, or plays with adventurers and city dwellers.
 Gently caressing Seto on the neck, Ray talks to Seto with a wry smile.

"No, their aim is probably the goblin we knocked down last night. I think there are still other survivors, for he is a goblin."

 He asks Seto to go down to the ground, saying things that ordinary people might get angry when they hear him if they can, but not ignore him if they find him.

"Slurrurling.

 A set that goes down to the earth with a high cry and wings flapping.
 Seeing Seto's condition, Mileine's excitement rises, Sulnin sighs, and Ekrill laughs bitterly.
 Among the other adventurers who have worked with him as Goblin's remnants, those who have spent more than a year in Guillum have all smiled or waved at Ray and Sett.
 Contrary to these experienced adventurers, about half of the newcomers who have been sent out to combat the Goblin in combination with combat training have recently come to Gilm. He looked at the descending set with astonishment, fear, and awe.

"It's okay because Seto is cute, gentle, and friendly."
"...but I hear it's pretty violent when you knock down monsters."
"Hey, don't say anything unnecessary because you're trying to calm me down."
"You're cute, aren't you?" I'd like to have that kind of demon, too. But the level of difficulty is...
"Then, summoning magic?"
"Come on, calm down. That Gryphon is a familiar and famous monster in guillem. If you don't touch it strangely, there'
"though the chairman of the business eventually fell for Sett."
"So don't say anything unnecessary.

 In front of a group of adventurers interacting like that, Seto walks down to the ground and stops moving.

"Seto-chan!"

 Leaving Seto with the Miller Dogs running out of a group of adventurers, Ray goes straight to the place where the Sulnin are.
 From the group, they raise their hands and say hello to Surnin, watching some of them head towards Seto, late for the Mire Dog.

"It was a hunt for the remnants of the Goblin,"
"Yes. What have you been doing since Mr. Dusker called you yesterday?"
"It's auxiliaries to get rid of the bandits." And after that, I was going back to reporting to Kilm..."

 Sulnin opens his mouth with a mysterious expression on his face, as Ray hesitates subtly.

"What's the matter?"
"Ah... no, that... and after defeating the bandits, I passed the night on the spot, when I was attacked by a group of goblins.
"Oh,"

 Eclir, who has looked dumbfounded at Mireinu, who is teasing Seto, and Grouso, Clage, Conomil, and other adventurers who are confused by the completely different appearance of Mireinu, who has been in contact with him since yesterday, also look at Ray.
 Ray opens his mouth with a slightly uncomfortable look on his face.

"And of course there were not only me, but also Seto and the bandits, who, since the other party was Goblin, had overwhelmed me." Perhaps we have brought down the remnants of the Goblin."
"Ah... well, I can't tell you not to fight back when you're attacked."

 Sulnin said so, but he couldn't stop the atmosphere from spreading around him, wondering if they were going to waste their time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the fertility of goblins. It may be true that the Rays had knocked down a certain number of them yesterday, but it is premature to conclude that all the goblins that had escaped from the village had been knocked down."
"... well, I'm sure so." They'll grow in no time if you take your eyes off them a little."

 A man in his late twenties, who seems to be in the same group of parents as the blazing wind, says so.
 With the words, the rookies probably understood that they were not going to waste their time. raise morale

"Can't you say that we've annihilated it with that?" ... oh, yes, yes. It was Hobgoblin who led the runaway goblins, so you had better remember that there might still be survivors in that relationship."

 Adventurers, including Surnin, look small and surprised when Ray tells her, recalling a goblin the size of an adult human being killed by Everogi at one blow.
 Given that he was led by Hobgoblin, he probably found it rather troubling.
 In fact, there was only one Hobgoblin survivor who had escaped safely from the village of Goblin... that Ray would never have known.
 However, it has lifted the slackened alertness, and Sulnin and other experienced adventurers will have no complaints.

"All right, thank you for your advice. ...you've all heard that the enemy is not only goblins, but also hobgoblin. Please be on your guard."

 Watching Sulnin telling everyone in the squad against Goblin, Ray suddenly looks at Mileine, who has a look of debauchery.

(Who thinks the Mire Dog is the leader of the scorching wind?)

 It's very unlikely. Ray approaches Sulnin, smiling inwardly.

"Well, I'm going now, but... don't you mind?"
"Oh, yes. Thank you for the information. It goes without saying to Mr. Ray, but be careful.""Oh, I don't think there's anything we can do about us flying the most. If there is one, he'll be aiming at you from above with magic and bows... if you find such a thing, your party leader will cut you to pieces."
"Ah, hahahahahaha. It's hard not to deny it because it seems impossible to deny it."

 Eclil nods silently to Sulnin, who says with a wry smile.
 With a small smile on their faces, Ray approaches Sett.

"Here, Milaine," You have a job to do, don't you? Is it all right to care about Seto?"
"Well... I know, I know, but..."

 Hugging around Seto's soft-feather neck, the Mire Dog suffers so much as to call it a trance... and then slowly leaves Seto.

"Glu?"

 Are you going to leave now? As Sett looks at me with round eyes with his head tilted like that, Mileine shakes her fingers as if she were a forbidden symptom... and looks away with her hand firmly clasped, as if she were cutting off her lingering attachment.

"Sorry, Seto," I'm in the middle of work now, so if you're in Gilmoo again, hang out."
"Grull".

 A set of eyes pointing to the ground with a contrite cry.
 He must have decided that he would be unbearable to see such a set. The Mire Dog runs away like a bolt from the Mile Dog runs away.
 with a few tears in one's eyes

(...as if his consciousness as an adventurer outstripped his love for Seto.)

 Ray muttering inwardly, seeing off the back of the Mire Dog.

"Have you had enough fun with the Mire Dog?"
"Gruly!"

 scratch Seto's screaming head, saying he wanted to play a little more.
 It was a lot of fun for Seto to play with people who liked him.
 But Ray continues apologetically to such a set.

"I'm sorry, Set. Now we have to go back to Gilm and let Dusker know about the bloody blade. and the Mile Dogs must go to subdue the Goblin."
"Grullllllwow.

 Seth looks down regretfully at Ray's explanation.
 It's no wonder. If I return to Gilm, I'll be in the Westian Empire soon, and I'll be away for a while.

"Look, I'm here, right? I'll buy skewers when I go back to Gilmoo."
"... Grull!"

 After a few seconds of hesitation over Ray's words, Seto eventually lies down on the ground and makes it easy for Ray to straddle.

"I'm sorry,"
"See you later, Seto!"

 Sett stands up with Ray on his back, and a call from a distance is heard.

"Grull!"

 They shout in response to the voice of the Miredog, and run up into the sky, flapping their wings after a few steps of running.
 On that occasion, when Ray and Chillari looked down on the ground, there was a scene where Surnin grabbed the nape of the neck and pulled it forcefully, just like a mother away from her child.





 Shortly after breaking up with the Mire Dogs, Gillum's walls appear in front of Ray's sky-flying gaze.

"Did you arrive without any problems?" I wasn't attacked by monsters either."
"Gruly!"

 Ray smirks and caresses her neck as Seto shouts, "Of course I'm here!"
 In fact, I've seen several flying monsters, all of which quickly moved away when I noticed Sett's presence.
 He must have understood that there was no chance of winning the battle.

"Well, if you have Seto, don't you have to worry about it?"

 As Ray says so, Sett flaps his wings down to the earth.
 It lands away from the main gate and heads to the crowded main gate because it's still in the morning.
 Rarely because few people in front of the main gate had ever seen Sett before, Ray and Sett went through the formalities and headed to the lord's residence without causing any particular disturbance.
