"Oh... it's nice weather."

 Ray muttered when he awoke to the sunlight falling out of the window.
 Outside the window I looked at, the previous day's rain was showing the blue sky like a lie.
 In this season of autumn and winter, the sun was unusually assertive of its existence.
 Ray was looking out at the scenery, but when he recovered, he was dressed.
 two days after leaving the castle They spent two busy days keeping the luggage of the former squadrons heading to Gillum in Mistilling, and mediating a dispute with their families and lovers to decide to head to the Kingdom of Mileana by themselves... more precisely by themselves.

"Maybe Seto is feeling a little lonely, too."

 Even though it's an inn in the imperial capital, there aren't many places where you can accommodate a Gryphon like Seto.
 Such places usually require advance reservations or have a variety of detailed rules.
 Of course Ray understood the importance.
 No matter how quiet you are, you may not be able to take responsibility for something that happens, given that Seto is a glyphon.
 There must have been a lot of people who thought so.
 In fact, Ray eventually gave up letting Sett stay at the inn after being told so many times.
 So what happened to Seto was not to let him stay at an inn in the imperial capital, but to let him go outside the imperial capital.
 The guards at the front gate were a little cheek-twisted, but they could not be stopped because it was well known that Sett was Ray's slave, and that he would not attack anyone for no particular reason.

"But I don't think we can do anything about the set, which is recognized as a rare kind of glyphon. You know what happens if you touch it badly, even if you're not a soldier in the civil war."

 The soldiers who took part in the civil war...particularly those who took part on the expedition side, were rightly desirous to call it despair when they were unilaterally attacked by firebreaths and other long-range attacks from above, or when they came down to the ground, they were given a powerful blow as a Gryphon.
 As long as the soldiers of such a punitive force are free to pay fines, it is only natural for many to know how much Seto is.
 Even though the threat of Seto is so well known, it doesn't seem to Ray that anyone would go out of his way to risk it.
 ...but Ray himself didn't know that there were a few, if not a few, who tried to poke his nose at the news of Gryphon's set out.
 However, it is not an adventurer, but a merchant.
 Furthermore, it was not intended to capture or kill, but to cover the hair and feathers of Seto's body.
 Of course, it was impossible to encounter Seto so easily, and most people could not even find Seto, but some of them were able to feed Seto and get some material, and they made a lot of money because it was a rare kind of Gryphon.
 the blacksmiths, arms, and armor stores of the imperial capital And the increasing number of alchemists as a national policy of the empire, who were delighted with Seto's material, had a slight impact on the imperial capital's economy itself... Ray never knew about it.

"Seven o'clock? If you eat breakfast and take a rest, will it be the right time to meet?"

 When I check the time with a watch I took out of my mistling, I go straight out of the room.
 So, as a staple of this kind of inn, they would finish their meal on the ground floor of the dining room and leave the inn when they were ready.





"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 The soldier in charge twitches Ray for a moment when he puts out his guild card to go through the formalities of leaving the imperial capital at the main gate.
 Naturally, he knew Ray and never expected to see him.
 Since the place was the main gate, there were many merchants, adventurers, and travelers all around him who were leaving the imperial capital, but Ray was wearing a dragon lobe hood and could not recognize him as Ray, which caused no particular stir.
 Fortunately, Ray went outside the imperial capital, where eight horse-drawn wagons were gathered a little by little.
 Just outside the main gate, there are several other groups like Ray's.
 It would be easier to go out of the imperial capital as a group, but there are many people in the same circumstances as Ray who can't do it.
 Still, Ray made his way to one group without hesitation because there were many familiar figures.
 And most importantly, among the group was the appearance of Seto, who had been given sandwiches, skewers, and dried meat by several figures.

(No, it's not strange that Sett is here.)

 He is merciless to his opponents during a battle, but his usual set is very friendly.
 It was only natural that such a set should approach him, saying that it was natural that he should be concerned if he found someone he knew.
 And the men of the shortstop are on Seto's side, but those who go with him to Gilm... those who only hear about Seto are watching him at a distance.
 As Ray approaches the group, who doesn't know what the gathering is from the side, one of the short-range troops who has been wary of the surroundings finds him.
 This group, which has a large number of horse-drawn carts relative to the number of horse-drawn men, is easily noticed by bandits and ill-behaved mercenaries, and if they are not well‐behaved, they may be noticed by nobles.
 That's probably why the man was wary of the people around him.

"Good morning, Captain Ray."

 The first to respond to Ray's bowing at the sight of him was Seto, not the other squadron members.
 Having been gurgling and eating the food given to her, Seto approaches Ray at once.

"Roll-rolling.

 Seto rubs his head against the ray with skewers or some other sauce.
 Patting Seto on the head, Ray opens his mouth to the approaching acquaintances.

"There are quite a few cabs for the number of people,"
"Yes, I thought I could get a horse-drawn carriage with my horse for the civil war, but I got it separately." This is also thanks to Captain Ray."

 A member of the shortstop says so joyfully.
 That's only natural.
 Cars are expensive, but the horse that pulls them is a good price tag.  
 Especially the horse you can see from Ray now is not a packhorse, if not a top‐notch one.
 However, seeing that he was frightened of Seto, it was certain that he did not receive any special training.

"Theoreme and Mercurio have worked very hard,"
"Well, honestly, I thought it would be really nice to get this. I think it's more appreciated than I did."

 True to the word, this was an exceptional reward.
 Given the profession of being an adventurer, it is very advantageous to have a horse and carriage.m. He that cannot afford to keep a horse, sells a horse and a carriage, and makes a good sum.

(I worked hard... or I feel like I worked too hard.)

 In Ray's eyes, it seemed that he had paid too much because he had been paid so well.

"What do you think about it?"

 ask a person who is approaching from behind

"Well, maybe it's an expression of my desire to be friendly with Ray."

 Vichela, dressed as usual, smiled and said so.

"I'm glad, for my part, but shall we go that far? Cars and horses are not so cheap, are they?"
"Well, Ray," The next heir to the throne of the Bestian Empire? I think it would be much cheaper if we could keep friends with Ray at this expense."
"I don't think so,"
"Yes. ... Good morning, Ray." Set, too."
"Oh, good morning," ...but it's a little out of order. Are you ready?"

 As Ray greets, he turns to the horse on which Vihela rides.
 The horse on board looked like a pretty good horse.
 It's obvious when you see that he's near Seto, but he doesn't seem scared.
 On the back of the horse is a load behind the viper, and the horse does not appear to be hard to move, although there will be a significant amount.
 It's probably only now, though. If you start here and keep walking, there's no doubt that the baggage will be literally a burden in the future.
 Vichela understands that of course.

"Ray, can you please?"

 nodding in Vichela's words, Ray pats Seto lightly, approaches the horse on which Vichela rides, and stores her luggage in a mistling.
 Then I suddenly find myself familiar with the horse on which Vihela is riding."

"I'm sure this horse is..."
"Oh, have you noticed?"
"You rode this horse during the civil war, right? You rode this horse during the parade, right?""Yes. Mercurio has prepared this horse for me, and it's smart, fast, and physically fit. It's a first-class article."

 Ray looks satisfied with the remark.
 That's my older sisterly Mercurio. He will naturally choose the best horse to give to his sister.
 That's all I think about, and suddenly I think of it. Vichela fell in love at first sight during the last civil war... but I think there was someone who fell in love with her in a way that could be called "one battle love."

"What's wrong with the bear?"
"...you're asking me.

 For some reason, Ray glared at me with a fixed look, but I couldn't make sense for a moment, but I was convinced right away.

(That's so.) Vihela has a good opinion of me. It's not a pleasant topic to hear from someone like that.)

 Nevertheless, Digma's ability is very high, and the elf's unique water spirit magic helps you travel.
 Even with running daggers, it was difficult to cover the number of people here, the number of people who joined us on our journey, and nearly thirty in all.
 in a laborious rather than magical sense
 That's why Ray thought it would be quite easy if Digma came...

"No, it's nothing. till I enter the kingdom of Milliana, but please take good care of me."
"Yes,"

 Vichela nods back with a slightly sullen look on her face, perhaps at fault for mentioning Digma.
 But it's only natural.
 Vihela had been approached several times by Digma while Ray was storing the baggage of his face here in a mistling, replenishing food, supplies, and even spears.
 Of course, Vihela knows she has the look and body to be liked by men.  
 But Digma's passionate approach was a bit troublesome for Vihela.
 It's only natural that I refuse.
 In the end it was supposed to be half ignored or passed through.
 Feeling the atmosphere of Vihela, Ray finds it dangerous to talk about the topic any longer and calls out to the squadron members who had distanced themselves from him.

"And have we all got together yet?"
"Well... some people haven't come yet." The rest are just on their way to the Kingdom of Mileana, where they will be able to join us."

 At that remark, Ray pulls his watch out of the mistling.
 It's 9:13 a.m.
 The promised time is overdue, but clocks are so rare in this world that they are not so precise.
 If you're late for a few hours, you'll often get in trouble, but if you're late for a few minutes, you'll be tolerated.
 It's only natural that you should come in time.

"Then, as soon as the stranger comes, I'll start, and you'll be ready to start at any time."
"Yes. ... Well, as long as we leave most of our luggage to Captain Ray, we don't need to sort it out. and if you are going to start, you will be able to start at once in a carriage."

 Ray speaks after convincing himself that the remark is true.

"Oh, yes," From here to the Kingdom of Mileana, you'll be in charge of the face you travel with. It was Sergio, wasn't it?"
"What? Me?"
"Oh, we're no longer in the squad, so Perenicus, who was a lieutenant, is back under Theoreum. Then I really need someone else to put you together."
"...isn't it all right to be His Highness Vihela?"

 As Sergio asks Vichela, who is playing with Seto, Ray shakes his head in disapproval.

"No, Vichela will break up with us when she enters the kingdom of Milliana. Then you'd better ask me from the beginning, wouldn't you?

 After all, Sergio reluctantly accepted the role of coordinator.
 Then, when they see the rest of them coming out of the main gate at the right time, the party sets out for the kingdom of Mileana.
