When Ray walked out after negotiations with Azimov and Pamidor, the scene unfolded as expected.
　Small children, adults and old people lie around a set lying on the ground.
　People gathered around Azimov as if it had nothing to do with him, though people usually don't come very close to him because of his place of residence.

"This was unexpected,"

　Pamidor and Ray smile unconcernedly as they hear Azimov muttering with surprise, who did not know Seto existed.
　It's not so unusual for these two to get together where Seto is.
　There were many people who wanted to hang out with Seto, especially since Ray and Sett had been away from Gillum for a while.
　It's only recently that it's finally calming down, but it's not entirely the case that there's a set there, and it's only natural that people gather for it.

"Well, you're telling me to take care of yourself a little outside, aren't you?" If you had known about Seto earlier, you might have gotten Seto's materials a little earlier, right?"
`...wow,'

　Ray is about to step into the conversation with the two of them... and he looks back and speaks again.

"First of all, don't ask me to do anything about the sword." I'd like you to contact me when you have a chance. I'm basically in the Wheat House at dusk. If you can use the core of a dungeon, you can use it, but don't use it except for a magic sword."

　The last word was directed not at Pamidor but at Azimov.
　I understood Azimov's enthusiasm for alchemy, but that's why he felt that he could do anything to satisfy his desire for knowledge.
　In fact, Azimov must have been right. He pauses for a moment at Ray's words and nods back reluctantly.

"Oh, I see," I'll get in touch with you when I have a chance. That's all right, isn't it?"
"Do so," Don't ask for Pamidor, either."
"Leave it to me. I'll keep a sharp eye on him so he doesn't make a fool of himself."

　Pamidor instantly understood Ray's words.
　Azimov looks a little dissatisfied with Pamidor.
　If I hadn't taken precautions here, I'd probably have done something.
　While thinking so about Azimov's appearance, Ray also thought that he was a highly skilled alchemist because he was such a man.

"Well, that's what I asked for,"

　Finally, leaving nothing to be desired, Ray heads toward the crowd surrounding Sett.

"Yes, get out of the way," Seto is going to move a little now, so let's play again next time."

　Rey's words open up the room to those present.
　Some people will want to hang out with Seto again.
　But to understand that it's sad for Seto to interrupt Ray, he opens up the space quietly.
　Some put their feelings first, but fortunately none of the people gathered now seemed to be like that.

"Grull!"

　Play with me again! A spirited Seto stands up and rubs his face against Ray as he approaches him.
　Ray caresses such a set back and leaves.
　As they watched the set, the people who saw them off looked disappointed, but they also looked satisfied.

"Wow... you're dealing with Rank A monsters, how dare you do that?" I can't believe it."

　Azimov muttered deeply as he watched the scene a short distance from the group that had seen him off.
　By common sense, Azimov's ability to interact with Gryphon, who is also a high-ranking monster, was an incredible sight.
　It would have been unusual, by common sense, the same.
　However, even if it was correct to apply common sense, it did not apply to common sense in guillem.

"It's fatal in many ways that you're not out at all." It's not been long since I came to Gilmoo, but you don't know... there's a problem."
"...it's an undeniable fact,"

　The reason why I reply with discontent is because I think I could have obtained various Gryphon materials if I had known about Seto earlier.
　Azimov, with a discontented look on his face, eventually opens his mouth.

"Still... I was lucky to have met Ray and Sett thanks to Pamidor." Perhaps I had spent many years without realizing that there was a Gryphon in the immediate vicinity."
"Oh, thank you to your heart's content. ... well, let alone joking. Now that Ray is in charge of the job, I don't understand my craftsmanship."
"Oh, yes," As an alchemist, I've got no better material than the core of a dungeon. I'm sure you'll grind your teeth with jealousy if other alchemists ask you if you might get the material for the Gryphon."
"... it's strange to think of it like that. There are many other alchemists in this guillem besides you. Why haven't they contacted Ray before?"
"Well, let me tell you, I don't know how they haven't come into contact with such excellent materials."

　Azimov cut and threw away in one word, but some alchemists in Gilm naturally tried to contact Ray.
　But... Ray is often asked to do it, and he doesn't have much time in the guillem.
　And while Ray is out of touch, the number of people who like Seto increases, creating an atmosphere where they can't say they want materials easily, and furthermore, Azot Shokai wants Seto and causes a big trouble.
　What was also fatal was that the alchemists' cooperation with the Azot trade was widespread among Gillum's alchemists, who, if not very much, were unable to reach Ray.
　As time goes by, an atmosphere is created in which the alchemists should refrain from contacting Ray.
　This probably meant a lot to Ray's relentless nature toward his opponents.
　Now, Gillum's alchemists even consider it taboo to contact themselves, if not Ray.
　Perhaps it was almost ironic that Azimov, completely ignorant of the circumstances, was the first Gillum alchemist to make contact with Ray.
　He was completely unaware of it, but it may have been a happy thing.
　However, this information may have been unfortunate in the sense that other alchemists may have asked about it soon.





　As soon as he breaks up with Seto near the entrance and enters the guild, Lenora smiles when she finds it.
　At the same time, the knight beside Lenora noticed Lenora's gaze and smiled at her.
　Ray wonders why the knight is in the guild, but before he can say it, the knight runs up to him.

"It was just right, Mr. Ray," I was looking for Ray, but I was wondering where he was."

　Ray nods at the words of a knight in his thirties.
　It's not like I've never seen someone before.
　Ray was one of the knights serving Dusker, who had followed him as a bodyguard on his way to the Empire of Bestia.
　Still, I wondered because I didn't understand why such a knight was looking for him.

(Because he captured Dungeon? No, but Langa must have sent a report on that matter, and he himself must have come back here today and reported it directly...)

　Isn't that why you didn't have any business?
　That's what Ray thought, but his expectations were too lenient.
　No matter how much dungeon you've just made, if you've captured it in just a few hours, it's only natural that Dusker wants to ask.
　Even if you are talking to the guild and they report you, it won't change.

"Mr. Dusker wants to hear about Dungeon,"

　an apologetic knight
　He's in his mid-30s, and he's way older than Ray.
　The atmosphere surrounded is also powerful enough to suit a knight.
　Nevertheless, the reason why he treats Ray politely is probably because he knows his ability.
　Of course, it would be a different story if you were talking about your ability, but at least Ray has never taken such an attitude toward Dusker.
　On the contrary, he has a track record of doing various requests for Gilm and Larkus, and most importantly for Dusker.That being the case, it was only natural for a knight to treat Ray with respect.
　Ray, who doesn't even think he's getting that kind of thought, nods at the knight's words.
　A certain beast of a cat was cheering in his manner, but he managed to hide it.

"Did you get a detailed report from Langa about the dungeon?"

"Yes, Mr. Langa's report has arrived properly. But I still want to hear directly from him."

　Ray makes a little thoughtful gesture at the words of the knight's words.
　Ray came to the guild to find out how far he had progressed on the Gamerion case, but it had nothing to do with it.
　But Lenora, who was talking to the knight, interrupts Ray, who is hesitating like that.

"Mr. Ray, if possible as a guild, I should like you to report directly to Mr. Dusker."
"Well... I see. But before I do that, may I ask you what has become of Gamelion?"

　The question probably gave a sense of why Ray came to the guild. Lenora bowed apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but yesterday, today, we're still in the middle of dismantling the Gamerion..."
"Yes, sir.
"It should have gone a little further... you know..."

　Ray shakes his head to say that he doesn't care about Lenora, who muddles his words with difficulty.

"No, I don't want to eat all the meat of Gamerion at once. and I asked him, knowing that there were not many adventurers in action at this time of year."
"No, that's the case, but..."
"Huh? No?"
"Yes, yes. Actually..."
"You know, Ray said yesterday that you might be able to catch a good gamerion from now on, and a lot of the people who heard that went there. Well, if you think about it, it would be more money to beat the Gamerion by yourself than to dismantle it, right? Well, some people couldn't go because of the rank, so they're going to dismantle it."

　It was Kenny, who was trying to break into the conversation next to Lenora.

"Hey, Kenny!"
"What? You don't have anything to hide, do you? And Ray doesn't seem to care."

　Lenora breathes a small sigh at Kenny, who turns to Ray.

"That may be the case, but how about saying that I've taken it upon myself, and I haven't done it yet?"
"Oh dear, do you think Ray cares about such a small thing? The small one is somebody's chest... No, it's nothing, so shall we lower that clenched fist?"

　Kenny, who was trying to make fun of him as usual, muddles his words, whether he felt a clear threat to Lenora's fist.

"Oh? Really? Why don't you say it all the way, Kenny? What's wrong with me?"

　It must have made him angry that he is being made fun of in the ordinary times. Only the mouth forms an arc of laughter, but only the eyes don't laugh at all.
　Looking at Lenora in such a situation, Kenny opens his mouth with a misleading smile, perhaps because he feels a clear threat.

"Ah, hahahahahaha. Look, I didn't say anything. Let's lower that fist, too, Lenora. you know?"

　Kenny, speaking to Lenora, turned his eyes to Knight and Ray.

"Well, then, my dear Ray," Will you come with me?"
"Oh, yes. That's better. Let's hurry up and go."

　Ray also nods easily to the knight's words, which he says with a gentle.
　When the communication is completed between the two, they turn around.

"Oh, come on, Ray!? Don't abandon me! ... It hurts!"

　Kenny turns to Lenora with tears streaming down his fist.
　Lenora quenched her unsmiling smile and gasped and opened her mouth.

"You know, don't be so stupid. But Kenny, go and dismantle the Gamerion."
"What? Hey, why me?"
"...go away?"
"All right!"

　Kenny's cries echoed through the guild, as if pressed by a potentially powerful force.
