"So, is this the correct position of the dungeon?"

 Lenora nods to Rey's words.

"Yes, that's the case. But is it really good? You can hardly expect to earn money from this dungeon."

 The newly built dungeon near Gilm has been explored by several adventurers.
 But Lenora knew that the materials and magical stones from the monsters she encountered inside were all cheap, and that was why she advised her.
 Travel expenses to the dungeon are not incurred by walking. But whatever the enemy may be, the weapon will wear, and the attack will injure you. The dungeon is narrow, and some people have broken it by hitting a weapon into the dungeon is too narrow.
 With that in mind, Lenora could not recommend Ray to capture the dungeon.
 Again...

"Also, I don't think it's possible for Seto to enter the dungeon. The entrance is pretty small."
"I've heard about it." Well, I'll try it just in case, but if you can't, I'll have you wait outside."
"I was sure I was going towards Gamerion. As for guilds, we don't have a lot of Gamerion meat this year, so that's more helpful."

 Lenora herself liked Gamerion and was not very happy that the price had risen this year because of the lack of numbers.
 It's not a lie, of course, for the sake of the guild.

"Well, it's certainly not difficult for Ray to find Gamerion,"

 Next to Lenora, Kenny agrees with a smile.
 Kenny spoke to Elena a few days ago, but that didn't mean anything had changed.
 Of course Kenny himself felt something, but he didn't make it public.
 So there's no doubt that Kenny is the same from Ray's point of view.
 But Lenora, a longtime bad friend and best friend, felt something different about Kenny.

"Gamerion?" I thought about that, too. I'm more interested in dungeons now. However, the dungeon isn't that big, and if you try and capture it, you might try to reach out to Gamerion. I like Gamerion's meat, too."
"All right. ...most of the monsters in the dungeon are low-ranked monsters, and the strength is not much. But dungeon is dungeon. I don't know what will happen inside, so please be very careful."
"The first floor of the dungeon is a stone passageway, and the second floor is a cave. Both are too small to fight at a party. That's all right, isn't it?"
"Yes. In some places, Mr. Ray's scythe... did you say death size?" It is said that there are many places where it is difficult to wield such weapons, so please be careful. The dungeon is a dangerous place where a little carelessness can kill you. Especially, Mr. Ray is a solo artist. Even if you think you can still go, please judge the situation calmly."
"Oh, I know," Gamerion will do his best after the dungeon."

 Tell him so, Ray leaves the guild.
 At this time of year when it may snow, naturally most adventurers are already ready for the winter, and many are enjoying long holidays in bars attached to guilds.
 Contrary to these people, some people have been asked to do their best.
 The guild had two such adventurers, both of whom looked suspiciously at Ray.
 It's only natural for anyone here to know how good Ray is.
 If that's the case, I'm sure he's making a lot of money, and I wonder why he's heading for a dungeon that's only a small sum of money.
 For adventurers looking for a job right now, however, I have no complaints about the fact that a skilled man like Ray doesn't get a job.
 Even adventurers who despised Ray without knowing him now heard from their seniors about what he was like, and they started to avoid being involved carelessly.

(Well, as long as I hear Dungeon's explanation, I understand that no one wants to take his own initiative, so this is only natural.)

 While muttering, Ray could never miss this dungeon.
 When I was in the Empire of Bestia, the greatest pleasure of coming back to Gilm was the meat of Gamerion.
 But for Ray now, Gamerion's meat is only secondary.
 The dungeon is as good as a treasure to that extent.

(I'm looking forward to seeing what skills he can absorb by eating Dungeon's core.)

 Trying to ignore the gaze directed at him, Ray walks out of the guild.
 If it wasn't Ray who was going to the dungeon, it would have been troublesome to be entangled...but we were lucky not to have any strangers to Ray.

"... oh, come to think of it,"

 When I left the guild and started walking towards the cet, where people were still gathering, I suddenly remembered.
 The magic sword I got from noise remained intact.
 Passing Ray's mind is a blacksmith with a strong face that at first glance looks like a thief.

"The Pamidor store must not have been far from here,"

 mutter, stop for a moment before heading to the dungeon, and head towards the set, raking through the crowd.

(It's good that Seto is happy, but I hope he'll calm down soon.)

 There's nothing Seth hates when he doesn't approach someone maliciously.
 Also, Seto himself is a glyphon, so he has too much stamina, and since he has not been born long, he also returns a favor to someone who shows favor.
 As long as Seto enjoys it, there is little mental fatigue, and those who care about Seto end up running out of strength first.
 Adults don't have that much fun with Seto because it'since it's only a matter of time.

(except for him)

 Ray gazes amusedly at the Mire Dog, who happily watches Seto eat a lump of ham.

"You come every day. Are you free?"
"I'm free. At least there's nothing more important than being with Seto like this. And you're ready for the winter, so there's no problem?"
"If you put too much into the set, you'll run out of savings along the way?"

 To Ray's eyes, the ham that Seto is eating now seemed to be quite a luxury.
 The price must be considerable, given that they give Seto such ham by the kilogram.
 But Mileine smiles unconcernedly at Ray's words.

"It's all right, if you run out of money, you can earn it again."

 The Mire Dog tells the hardworking adventurer something blue on his forehead.
 Others around can't help but smile bitterly at what Millerine said now.

"Well, that's up to you," But unfortunately Seto and I are going to dungeon now."
"... Dungeon? Is it close?"
"Oh,"
"Why? There's no point in going to that dungeon?"

 Finally turning to Ray, Miller Dog asks mysteriously.
 Among those around Seto, those who know the situation nods back to the words of the Mireine.

"Did you go?"
"Yes, because Sulnin wanted to look inside for a moment. I only came back after a few battles."

 Ray's words let out a sigh.I was collecting information about the dungeon, but I didn't know that there was such a close source of information...
 Nevertheless, what I heard from some people in Lenora, Guild's Bar, and Wheat-tei's diner at dusk should never have been in vain.
 I urge you to move on, thinking as if you were telling me.

"And how was it?"
"It was mostly Goblin or Cobold that we fought against,"
"... Cobolt?"

 Goblin's magical stones have already been absorbed.
 However, since I had never fought against Cobold, I wondered if I could get new skills... but I remembered that I had fought in an oasis before, and my expectations were dashed in an instant.
 The Oasis was the only one who fought against the Cobold, but the Goblin had fought so many times that it had a poor impression.

"Well, we've managed to do it, so I don't think there's any problem with Ray. -- oh, but,"

 The words of the Miredog are momentarily interrupted, and his gaze is turned to Seto.

"The entrance is narrow, so Seto probably won't be able to get in."
"I've heard a lot about it. It would be a lot easier if I had Seto. If the passage is not so wide as the entrance, you will have to wait outside."
"Guru..."

 a sadly bleating set
 His round eyes were straight at Ray, but he didn't want to take Sett into the dungeon.
 I have the skill of resizing, but I can't keep using it indefinitely.
 The passageway is large enough for combat, so Seto can move around... but if there is any trouble, it can be fatal.

"Dungeons sometimes have monsters outside. If you can't get into the dungeon even if you use resizing, can Seto deal with that? There are guards like Langa anyway."
"Glu... Glu, Glu, Glu."

 After a few seconds of hesitation, Seto eventually nods back to Ray's words.

"I mean, if Seto can't get into the dungeon, why don't you just go with Ray? I'll take care of him in the meantime."

 Though he was honest with his desires, Mileine's words were also.
 But Ray shakes his head at it.

"With Seto, it's only a few hours away."
"Gruly!"
"Yes,"

 Let Rey say "Leave it to me!" to my throat.
 The Mire Dog, watching it, muttered regretfully.
 If this had forced Sett to take him, he could have said one thing, either as a Mire Dog or as a complainant.
 But as long as Sett himself is showing his willingness to go with Ray, there's nothing he can's got to say.

"Well, I'll try as much as I can for now. If it really is not in my best interest, I'll come back and pick up the Gamerion."
"... well, I'd like you to do it that way."

 As long as Mireine is based in Gilm, she is naturally looking forward to this season's Gamerion cuisine.
 This year, however, Gamerion had less meat and was priced higher than usual.

"Then you can go get rid of Gamelion with a scorching wind, right? You're also in the C party, so you can fight against Gamelion, the C monster."
"Well, if it's not a request, but if it's enough for us to eat... it's going to be a waste of time..."

 Previously, many of the adventurers of Millerine's acquaintances had gone out to defeat Gamelion, but most of them couldn't even find her.
 Among them, some lucky parties were able to defeat Gamerion, but there is a strong feeling that they will probably not be able to find her even if they look for her.
 In the first place, there are no thieves in the scorching wind.
 The archer's acril is so good that he can imitate a ranger, and there is an overwhelming lack of explorers.
 Gamerion already doesn't look good for the gigantic body and moves fast.
 It was not uncommon for them to launch a surprise attack because they were so fierce.
 He prides himself on having the power to fight in a pure battle, but if it comes to a surprise attack, he's a different story.
 Gamerion's own high physical abilities, his blade-shaped ears, sharp tusks, whip and spear-like tails.
 The only salvation is the lack of a long-range attack.

"I also fought against Gamerion last year, so I know that, but... it certainly was pretty strong in terms of strength."
"It's a different story if you're going to challenge me head on, isn't it?"

 While speaking, Seto quickly prepares to leave with the rest of the food in his mouth, and Ray makes light remarks to those present.

"Oh, Seto-chan... see you later. Ray, I won't forgive you if you scold Seto!"

 The voice of the Miredog echoed around... most people laughed bitterly at the words.
