"Is everything going to be decided in four days?" and this was a long and short battle."
"Glu?"

　At night, in front of the magic tent, Ray mutters to Seto leaning against the bonfire.
　Autumn has already deepened, and mornings and evenings are colder than cooler.
　It is certain that winter will come before long, and that is why the battle, whether Mercurio's army or the punitive force, was hurried to a conclusion.
　That much was understandable to Ray.

"At any rate, this civil war will be settled in four days' time. If that happens, if you stay in this country, you could end up in trouble, and if you decide on the trend of the battle, you'll be rewarded and you'll go back to Gilm. Don't you miss Gilmoo? Or Mire Dog?"
"Grull".

　It's certainly not Ray's imagination that he felt a little troubled when the name Millerine came out.
　He always adores Sett... he seems to have the strongest love for Sett in the world without Ray.
　Even if you're a seto, you're not the one you don't like because you're just feeding yourself a lot.
　But... it's no use having some sense of weakness when there's sometimes an unknown light in your eyes.

"I don't think I've seen Lenora or Kenny for a long time, and I'd like to see them, would I?"
"Grunt!"

　Here's a set of people who don't hesitate to speak.
　I'm not as enthusiastic as Mileine, but I love myself more than enough.
　And what made Sett happier than anything else was that they could see that they cared so much about Ray.
　Of course, I like people who love me, but for Seto, I think it's because he likes Ray very much.
　...if Mileine knew this, she would most likely show favor with Ray instead of Seto.
　If you want to shoot a general, shoot a horse first. There was a proverb like that in Japan where Ray lived, but in the case of a Mireinu, it's like shooting a general in order to get a horse.

"And... winter is the season when Gamerion appears."
"Gruly!"

　Seto responds more quickly than when we talked about Lenora and Kenny.
　Ray laughs bitterly at his partner's appearance, but he's convinced.
　It looks like a vicious and huge rabbit, but the taste of its meat is superb, and it can be said that it is a winter specialty in guillem.

"... Gilm?"

　That's where I suddenly find myself.
　Perhaps there is a Gamerion in the Vestian Empire.
　Gamerions certainly lived near Gillum. But it's not just around Gilm.
　It wouldn't be strange if I lived in the Vestian Empire.

(Then, if it works well, it is possible to obtain more Gamerion meat...? Defeat Gamerion in the Vestian Empire, save him in Mistyling, and hasten back to Guillum to kill him. I think I can do this.)

　Think that far and talk to the set you lean on.

"Why, Seto. Gamerion, don't you want to eat too much anyway?"
"Roll-rolling.

　Of course, I'm going to give you a sound.
　The call made Ray just pass by where he was putting up his magic tent. The soldiers startle in spite of themselves.
　That's only natural. I was on the lookout at night when I suddenly heard the cry of a Gryphon.
　Of course, this soldier also has a good feeling for Seto.
　Still, it's surprising to hear a sudden cry when you're on patrol at night.
　Fortunately, Ray has a magic tent at the end of his position, with only the tent around him storing supplies.
　...and by the way, Ray has a magic tent near the repository not just because there are few people.
　Mercurio's army, when such a large number of men gather, naturally invades a certain number of ill-natured men.
　There was a reason that if such people tried to steal goods, they would be ready to respond quickly.
　Seto has already caught some thieves, and now there is no such thing as a coward to sneak in here.
　Still, the reason why soldiers are on patrol is probably because there are a lot of physical problems in leaving it entirely up to them up.

"Come on, calm down a little. That's the case, then. After this case is over, let's take a look to see if there's any place where Gamerion appears. No, if you don't go to the guild and ask, there are so many adventurers here that you can ask them."
"Glu?"

　As Seto purges happily, "Really?" Ray smiles and throws the nearby firewood into the bonfire.
　I heard a snap, and it was a somewhat tasteful sight.

"...Autumn?"

　What passed Ray's mind was that he ate many seasonal ingredients in Japan.
　Living in the mountains, there are chestnuts, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and pears.
　Another favorite food of Ray, sweetfish
　Usually, sweetfish are in season in summer, but in autumn sweetfish with eggs move from river to sea.
　The ayu is called ochi ayu, a seasonal ingredient that can be eaten only because you live in the countryside.

"Any other saury?" You grill fatty and fat saury with salt and eat it with grated radish and soy sauce... and so on."
"Glu, glu, glu, glu, glu, glu, glu!"

　Just listening to Ray's explanation probably made me hungry.
　A set of people who say, "I want to eat it myself!"
　But saury is simply the fish of the earth, and we don't know if it's in this Elgin.

(There are monsters in the ocean, if any, and it's likely that they're being preyed on. It must be hard to fish unlike the earth.)

　Naturally there are no civilized instruments like fish detectors in this world.
　When it comes to fishing, the experience and intuition of the fisherman is everything.

"Oh... I can't do it." When I think about saury, I feel like eating it. fatty saury and plain grated radish If you eat this with rice, you can eat as much as you want."

　Ray, by the way, was the one who didn't eat internal organs.
　His father, a drunkard, liked to eat internal organs.

"Grull, Gurling!"

　Ray's story must have stimulated his appetite. Seto cries out, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"That may be said," It's not necessarily the case that saury is in this world....well, as long as you have a liot that looks just like a pear, you can't deny the possibility of a saury. Do you know if you go to Emosion?"

　The image of the port city I went to before passes through my mind and mutters.

"Rolling".

　We may be able to eat saury. In anticipation of this, Seto chants cheerfully.
　Such voices echoed throughout the camp at night, but there was no particular damage except for the watchmen who hanged themselves.
　The so-called downtown Mercurio's army camp will be bustling with another victory party tonight.
　As Ray, he and Seto make a fuss over there... we thought about enjoying cooking, but we know that we are now prominent in many ways.If you show up where you're having a party, you'll definitely have trouble.
　Especially now that the night is up, everyone in the bar must be drunk.
　Even at the edge of his position, Ray stands up envious of the cheers.

"Well, whether you eat saury or gamerion, it doesn't make sense unless you win the battle in four days." Well, set. I'm going to bed soon for tomorrow. We'll have the Weiburn stripped to-morrow, and it'll take some time."
"Gruly!"

　Give a brief answer to Ray's words and Seto lies down on the spot.
　As usual, to watch out for anyone approaching Ray.

"I'm sorry, Set. You've always been saved. Oh, if you're hungry, eat this."

　Tell him so, put the sandwich next to Seto, and Ray goes into the magic tent.





　The next day, there are three days left until the decisive battle.
　That day, Ray was outside his position, ripping off the Weiburns by his squadron.
　Five Wyburns of the Dragon Knights... five Wyburns.
　The amount of material that can be taken from that much Wyburn is quite large.
　However, it would still be impossible to make leather armour enough to reach the entire squad.
　It was to be decided who to go to afterwards by ability.
　Ray wanted to train properly, but as long as there is a decisive battle in three days, he can't do it recklessly.
　The result was that Ray would not train, but would have a mock battle between the squadrons.
　The bait is Wyvern leather armour.

"Ray's husband, I'll tell you, it will take some time to get the Weiburn leather ready for leather."
"There's a magic item for that, right?"

　Mercurio's blacksmith frowns slightly at Ray's words.
　Normally, it takes more than a week to tan the skin and make it usable for leather armor.
　However, it is not uncommon for ordinary animals and low-ranked monsters to take tens of days, even if they are lower-class.
　Naturally, if you wait for it slowly, you won't be able to make it in time for the decisive battle, so Ray took the magic item that the blacksmith had.
　This magic item has the effect of greatly reducing the time required to turn leather into leather.
　It's a magic item that's hard for a blacksmith to come by hearing it like this.

"If you use drops of drim, it will certainly save time, but the quality will deteriorate accordingly, won't it?"

　Yes, deterioration in quality.
　That was the single and biggest flaw in the magic item, the drizzle.
　Still, Ray chose to use the magic item because that was the only way to make it to the final day.

"The least relief is that weapons made of Weiburn's tusks and claws can be used without deterioration of quality."
"Even so, it would be best to divert it directly to the tip of the arrowheads and spears." If we had used the bones and blood of Weiburn, which had been magically processed in making weapons, it would have been a magic item like a magic sword, but it wouldn't be possible in three days."
"I suppose, but as for that matter, make it after this battle is over. If you become a shortstop, you'll definitely get out of trouble. I don't mind that much reward."
"Well, leave it to me,"

　When Ray nods to the smith's words, he calls out loud to those dismantling the Weiburn.

"Today's dinner is a Weiburn dish! Cut the meat thoroughly to make it taste good! If you disassemble it roughly, the meat will taste less!"
'All right!'

　A man comes up to Ray as the squad responds in unison.

"Captain Ray, can I act that broad?"

　It's Perenicus, the vice commander of the squadron, who actually commands the squad.
　Watching Wyvern disband with Sett, Ray nods.

"The next battle will definitely be a big one. This incident is very good in terms of nurturing energy for that reason and in terms of reward if you survive."
"It's too much for me to say that I'm going to take advantage of it." Precious monsters like Wyvern would cost a lot more if they were put out there."
"I'm not pressed for money,"

　Perenicus and the blacksmiths who have heard him speak nearby agree with the words he mutters casually.
　It has the rank of a high-ranking adventurer, Rank B, and is accompanied by a Gryphon called Seto, whose power may be comparable to or greater than Rank A.
　It's certainly not difficult for Ray, who has that much ability.
　You could just kill a little high-ranking monster, and there was no doubt that the rewards you'd get from diving into a dungeon would be outrageous.

"Well, then, don't ask for leather armour,"
"...hey. It's very rare for us to be able to use the materials of Wyvern." I'll do everything I can."

　Ray nods to the smith's words. . Thus, the day passes with the dismantling of the Weiburn and a feast to eat its meat."
　There are three days left before the decisive battle. I waited for the time to come with two emotions: anxiety and expectation.
