874 Episode 0874



Ray and Sett were led to a building about a twenty-minute walk from a shop in Pamidor.
 Backstreet is no different from Pamidor's, but the other buildings around it are quite old and there is no sign of anyone living there.

"... well, I have a bad feeling,"

 Maybe it's the alchemist who has the business to do that doesn't live around him.
 Pamidor gently looks away from Ray, who asks with such a bad feeling.
 Pamidor, who only looks like a vicious thief, can describe his behavior as more comical.

"I'm sure you're good, so don't worry."
"... really, really? I'd be angry if it was just my mouth."
"Oh, don't worry about it. There's no problem with my arm. as for the arms."

 I said it twice because it was important. With this kind of atmosphere, Pamidor inevitably gives off a bad feeling in Ray's.
 If possible, why don't we just leave? That's what Ray thought, but he also knew that he needed the help of an alchemist to repair the Nosy Mystering sword.
 That's why I talk to myself as if it's completely negative, rather than meaningless, to step back here.

"All right. Then shall we go?"
"Oh, well, he's not as bad as I say, so I don't think you need to worry too much. Here we go."

 Tell him so, Pamidor knocks at the door of the house where the alchemist lives.
 ...yes, it would be more appropriate to say hitting than knocking.
 The fists, waving as if they were willing to break the door, make a violent noise around them.
 At first, Ray thought the door would break, but soon realized that there was no need to worry about it.
 because the door did not creak at all, nor did fragments of wood fly.

(What is that door? Isn't it made of wood?)

 It looks like a regular wooden door.
 However, in the profession of blacksmithing, it would be difficult to call a door made of wood that Pamidor, who has more power than any other adventurer, could strike.
 Ray thought a little, but soon he understands whose house this is.

(Alchemy, perhaps)

 Yes. This is an alchemist's house, so I guess it's no surprise at all.
 Pamidor was still knocking on the door, as Ray admired.

"Hey, Azimov! You're here, come out!"

 The call may even look like a debt collection to strangers.

(Then I'm his servant.)

 An uninteresting imagination passes through his mind, and Ray inadvertently looks around him.
 However, the house of a man called Azimov in Pamidor is empty on both sides of the house, so there is no sign of anyone coming out.
 There were also some who passed nearby, but there was still no sign of interest in Ray or Pamidor.
 Wonderingly, Ray nods his head.
 Normally, a person like Pamidor could be reported to a security guard to bang on the door of another person's house.
 Now, however, no one else seemed to be willing to do such a thing.
 On the contrary, if it is Pamidor who is knocking on the door, for some reason there is even a sympathetic glance towards him.
 for a few minutes Finally, the power to knock on the door of Pamidor will become stronger, and even the door that looks stronger than usual will break.
 That's how Ray thinks, until the door opens.

"What... Who is it? Huh? Oh, Pamidor. Well, I just went to sleep a few hours ago. for he's not coming all of a sudden."

 Coming out of the door was a man in his thirties and forties of the same age as Pamidor.
 However, while Pamidor is a muscular man, the man called Azimov is quite thin.
 He was so thin that it seemed to Ray that he weighed only half as much as Pamidor.
 Nevertheless, there is no frightening color in the eyes of Pamidor.
 There is even a look of displeasure in it.

"Well, why are you still sleeping at this hour? What time do you think it is now?"
"Oh? Oh... I know it's before noon."
"So why is it before noon... oh, that's enough. I'll let you go up anyway."
"Do as you please,"

 While cursing, Azimov tries to put Pamidor into his residence... where he finally sees Ray.
 I also saw Seto watching the current conversation strangely on Ray's side.
 Stopped as if petrified in an instant, Azimov looks at Pamidor with a creaking motion.

"Oh, hey, Pamidor. That Gryphon..."
"Huh? Oh, Seto?"

 Pamidor responded as if nothing had happened to Azimov, but Azimov could not miss it.

"Oh, Seto... no! What's the Gryphon here! He's a Rank A monster!"

 Although Azimov was not enough to say surprising, Pamidor looked at him dumbfounded.

"Well, Seto has been in Gilm since last year. But didn't you notice that he and Ray were often going out together?"
"Last year!? ...let's go, let's go, let's see." I didn't notice at all!"
"Oh, you really should be interested in anything other than your own alchemy."
"Well, well, that's true..."

 As Azimov, it's very troublesome to turn his attention to something other than alchemy.
 Under normal circumstances, he would have cut off the words of Pamidor and thrown them away.
 But when you see a glyphon in front of you like this, you can't complain.
 Still, Azimov quickly regains himself and scrapes towards Ray.

"You understand that you are the master of this Gryphon, will you give me some of this Gryphon material?"

 Ray's cheek twitches the moment he hears the word.
 Realizing Ray's condition, Pamidor manages to keep Azimov under control.
 But Azimov himself opens his mouth completely unconcerned.

"What do you think? Of course, I'll pay you a decent reward. I don't mind if it's a magic item that I made.""No, sir.

 Ray dismisses it out of the blue, but Azimov doesn't back down, he continues.

"Why? You look like an adventurer, don't you want magic items?"
"I certainly don't deny it. Originally, I have a hobby of collecting magic items. But I don't want it at the expense of my partner, Seto."
"...what?"

 That's probably where he finally came to himself. Azimov realizes that his perception and Ray's are somewhat different.

"I don't mean to tell you, but I'm not going to tell you to call in Seto's eyeballs, or to call in his internal organs." All I want is the wings and hairs of the Gryphon. and the saliva of the Gryphon."

 Ray looks a little surprised at the remark.
 I thought you were asking me to drop in Seto, just like I did at the Azot store before.

(It was an overreaction)

 Reflect on yourself a little bit and stroke the set next to you.

"Glu?"

 As Sett turns to ask what's going on, Ray continues, looking towards Azimov.

"Well, Seto. He wants some of your feathers and hair. What do you do?"
"Slururururururururururururururur

 a slightly troubled set of voices
 They must be remembering the alchemists who came in the woods in the Vestian Empire.
 Then time passes while Azimov is nervous... and Ray suddenly comes to mind.

"Why, don't you think Sett's hair and feathers are just the ones he's just taken off?"
"Huh? If possible, I'd rather have something fresh, but if it's time-old, it's useful."
"Then, if you come to the Wheat-tei at dusk, you will find it in the stable."
"...what? No, but is it all right?"

 Azimov asks again if Ray's words were unexpected.
 But Ray nods back, saying there is no problem.

"I'm thinking of apologizing for suspiciousness in a strange way, and above all, you need something as a reward, don't you?"
"Reward?"

 What is the reward for? Pamidor opens his mouth to Azimov, who repeats his words with such feelings.

"There was actually something I wanted you to do that brought Ray to me."
"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to make any other material? Well, if that's why I can get some material for the Gryphon, I wouldn't say no." So?"
"Ray,"

 Encouraged by Pamidor, Ray offers Azimov a magical sword from Mistilling.
 There was no doubt that the blade was broken in half and useless.
 But what surprised Azimov was not the magic sword that appeared before him, but rather the mystery ring that Ray had.

"Oh! Hey, I think you said Ray. Is it an item box or a degraded version?"
"Degraded version? Oh, I see. In that sense, it's an item box."

 Rey understands that the degraded version is a pseudo item box like Elena's, and Azimov turns his eyes to Rey again.
 Although he was skinny, Azimov now gave off a strange amount of power.

"These shoes, the left bracelet, and the robe are magic items, aren'
"... Correct. I see, you must be a good alchemist."

 I've seen through several magic items that I've been equipped with, but I never thought I'd have that again.
 As Ray shrugs his shoulders and gazes in admiration, Azimov checks in all directions as he goes around Ray.

"Is that ring also a magic item?" What's more, it's a very sophisticated magic item. ... How dare you get that magic item?"
"Well, I think you're better at seeing through it all. Anyway, it is. What I want you to do is repair this magical sword."
"Oh, this magical sword is quite a thing, isn't it?" But the blade of the sword is two swords. ...where did you get it?"
"When I fought with the constant noise in the Empire of Bestia,"

 The name that comes out of Ray's mouth brings back a look of surprise.

"Is immovable noise a Rank S adventurer of the Empire of Bestia? Hmm... how surprising is it?"

 As I said so, Azimov's expression is more like convincing than surprising.

"I have a Rank A monster with me, so I don't know what it's all about... but you're amazing." He's a Rank S adventurer."
"Well, Ray's a notorious adventurer, too. Seriously, you're not only locked up at home, but you're also going out." I knew Ray's name, too."
"Well, it's better to do experiments than go out and make a fuss."

 Azimov tells Pamidor that he has no fault whatsoever.
 Watching Azimov like that, Ray suddenly opens his mouth in doubt.

"If you're so bothered to go out into town, what about food?"

 If he went out into the city, it would be quite possible to hear the names of Ray and Set, but he still didn't know about himself or Set.
 It was a strange question, but Azimov opens his mouth as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, I have someone to eat and shop for me. I leave all the trouble to you. that I can concentrate on alchemy."
"... I see,"

 Ray nods to Azimov's words, but he understands that he is not trying anything suspicious in front of him, but simply an alchemy idiot who is not interested in anything other than alchemy.

(Is this all right? No, but I'm too absorbed in alchemy, so I think that's probably the case.)

 Ray is wondering what to do about the evaluation of the person in front of him, but Azimov opens his mouth to stop it.

"Well, at any rate, it's only cold here to talk, so come in. I'll have you tell me the details."

 Tell them so and encourage Ray and Pamidor to come into the house.
