Lei and Lent, who had left the Wheat-tei at dusk, and Seto and one of them were walking towards the main gate.
　Ray wanted to turn up to the guild and ask how far the demolition of the Gamerion had progressed, but if Lent told him that he had already met him in front of the main gate, he could not push himself that far.
　No, I would have gone to the guild if it was really important.
　However, in this case, I would like to ask if possible, and there is no need to force myself to go to the guild.
　That's why Ray agreed to Lent's words and headed for the front gate. . . . .

"Huh? Why are you going to the main gate?"

　When Ray asks for a skewer in his hand, Lent nods back with a stunned expression on his face.

"That's true, but... I can't believe it's going to be like this after a short walk around town. Well, I've heard of it, but when I actually see it..."

　Lent gazing joyfully at Seto eating dried meat.
　Moreover, Lento's appearance is quite different from that of the late evening at the Wheat House cafeteria.
　In the dining room he was only carrying a long sword, but now he was naturally wearing armor.
　After leaving the Wheat-tei at dusk, he had been well equipped at his hotel.
　Common leather armour and cold protection made of monster leather.
　What is a little unusual is that he carries a metal shield on his back.
　Looking at Lent's shield, Lent opens his mouth mysteriously, wondering if he noticed his gaze.

"What's the matter, isn't it that shields are rare?"
"No, that's unusual. Not many of the adventurers I have ever seen use shields."

　Ray, however, has never been an adventurer for a long time.
　It's been nearly two years, so I can't say it's short.
　Still, Ray had been involved in many incidents in less than two years, but not many adventurers had shields.
　Of course, compared to adventurers equipped with full plate armour, the weight problem is quite large.
　Weight means that the material stripped from the monster cannot bring back as much meat, ore, plants, and much more.
　I guess that's what Ray thought. Lent, with his shield on his back, skillfully tucked his shoulders together.

"I understand Ray's point, but for peace of mind in battle, that's about it. And the enemy this time is Gamerion and very aggressive, isn't it?"
"I don't deny that,"

　Besides the sharp tusks growing out of the mouth, the ears of the blade, and the whip-like tail, the very body of Gamelion, which is about three meters long, may be called a deadly weapon.
　Moreover, its body is composed of condensed muscles and has a fierce personality.
　If you're dealing with such a Gamerion, it's true that some people need shields.

"That's the case. I was originally a defensive avant-garde at the party."
"... Come to think of it, you're going with us to kill the Gamelion, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not a solo, is it.
"Huh? Oh, of course. Or rather, soloing in Rank C is quite unusual. except for a man as good as you."

　Even though it's rank B, let alone rank C, I tell my solo Ray enviously, and he goes back.

"Well, my party is ready for the winter. That's why you can spend your time the way you want."
"And you're going to get rid of Gamerion in this cold weather. for the sake of women."
"Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh

　Perhaps to mislead the story, he caresses his stubble.
　Ray wants to make fun of Lent a little more, but once he sees the main gate, he stops talking about it.
　People don't often look like them, perhaps because they've passed the busiest time of the morning.
　Originally, the number of visitors to and from Gilmoo decreased during this period, but because of this, a few people gathered near the main gate stood out.

"Are you meeting me inside, not outside the gate?"
"No, the proceedings should be over by now. It's better to avoid the cold wind near the gate than to go outside, isn't it? That's why. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Don't you learn or use it?
　I was going to say so, but I stopped talking halfway.
　Ray is basically a soloist, though it might be a different story if he had a party.
　In other words, apart from meeting as a request, we decided that we had little experience of meeting adventurers together.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Huh? Come on, Lent. You said I was going, but why do you have a cart, let alone a carriage?"

　A suspicious Ray asks when he sees a carriage and cart near a group of people.
　It is certainly impossible to carry a Gamerion if it can be knocked down.
　It is not easy for adventurers to obtain, not to mention item boxes, but also for a reasonable price, a deteriorated copy.
　There are also cases where the stench of blood comes from loading the body of a carriage with gamerions.
　and the easiest way to do it would certainly be to carry it in a cart."
　There was an opinion that they would invite themselves, so they didn't have to prepare a cart.
　Lent scratches his head shyly at Ray's question.

"No, actually it's my own decision to invite Ray."
"…I see. In other words, Johanna had a strong tendency to earn points."
「……」

　Ray's words gently distract me.
　That alone made Ray look foolish to pursue any further, but he said he needed to say this.

"I think it was good in the sense that it would certainly surprise me. but... it's not always going to be a good thing.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I told you in the dining-room, too," "Well, I can tell by looking at it."

　Not knowing what Ray was saying, Lent asks, but he turns his gaze forward... not all of the former squadrons who want to be adventurers.
　In front of his eyes, those who noticed Ray's appearance looked surprised... but there was also a figure running towards him.

"Seto, long time no see!"

　The woman, who approached her with a cry of joy... Johanna stroked her as soon as she ran under Seto.
　The behavior is something different and familiar to Ray.

(I don't think it's possible that I won't meet a Mire Dog...)

　I half knowingly think it's impossible that the face of a person who behaves in the same way passes through Ray's mind and doesn't cause a strange conflict...

"That's about it. But have you left the lord's house yet?"

　I guess Johanna finally noticed Ray when she said so. hurry up and bow to Ray
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Captain Ray... Not Ray." Why here?"
"I wish I'd noticed when Sett was there."

　Other former gunmen gather under Ray, who breathes."Ray, you look as healthy as ever."
"You... It's Ray. If you have that power, you'll get rid of illness."
"I don't know if that's the case, but if you think Ray will do it, you'll find me strangely convinced."

　Ray talks to the four of them, including Johanna.

"It's been a long time, isn't it a bit exaggerated. It hasn't been long since we broke up. And what is it like now?"
"Oh, yes. I'm going to rent a large house by Mr. Dusker's messenger, and we're going to live there in groups.k.a. group of people." Now I'm free after the move, and I think I'll go and kill Gamelion."

　The words remind him of the time he left his luggage in the imperial capital of the Vestian Empire... and of the time he returned the luggage he had left in the Mistilling when he was called by Dasker to explain about Dungeon.

"I think Johanna had quite a lot of things to do with her, but have you finished clearing them all?"
"... well, there was somebody who could help me."

　The adventurers glanced at her as she watched for a chance to speak to Johanna.
　Understanding what had happened with that alone, Ray decided not to say anything more out of compassion for the samurai.

(Carrying Johanna's luggage... nothing but hard work, isn't it? He's the one who really falls in love with me.

　After a glance at Lent, Ray calls out to the people in front of him.

"Well, that's all. You guys have just come to Gilmoo, so I'm going to help you a little. I came here because Lent asked me to do so."
"...what? Will Ray help us? Huh? Will it snow?"
"If it's snowing, it may fall at any time." If you say so, will the spear fall?"
"Only Mr. Ray could catch fire..."

　Ray opens his mouth in the hood with a smile as he makes a fuss about what Ray said.

"Why don't we let them rain as much as they want? They're both good at it, so I'll let them rain as much as you want.

　You must have taken Ray's words seriously. The three shake their heads in a hurry.

"Oh, no way. That's not the case. What?"
"Of course. Yes, absolutely."
"Yes, that's not the case at all,"

　Johanna, who loved Seto, nods at the sight of the three men hurrying to speak.

"What's the matter?"

　At Johanna's voice, the three shake their heads, saying, "God help!"

"Mr. Ray is going to help us with our work. Johanna is happy, isn't she?"
"What? Of course I'm happy about that, but... is that okay?"

　Rey nods back to Johanna, patting Seto's body, saying she doesn't matter.

"You're not used to the area around Gilm, are you?" Lento will do something about it, though. Well, think of this as a farewell to me who led you as a shortstop. Fortunately, it shouldn't be so difficult to get Gamerion now."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I've heard it." Rey, you captured the dungeon last time. That's why we're able to catch gamerions, isn't it?"

　When one of the men asks so, Ray nods.

"It was a shallow dungeon, though." If you're going, I'll go right away. I'll tell you, all I do is find Gamerion. for it is your duty to arrest him."

　Ray told them he would not fight, but all four of them, including Johanna, nod back instead of looking particularly dissatisfied.
　Lent had hoped to help her in private, but if Johanna had accepted that it would be all right, she could not complain.

(And if Ray fights, he'll take all the good things away. Then I'd like Johanna to see me play a part.)

　Lent is also a Gillum adventurer.
　I understand from the bottom of my heart how powerful the small person in front of me is, contrary to his appearance.
　It was easy to imagine that Ray would play a one-sided role if he fought against Gamerion.
　In fact, Ray has won a landslide victory over nearly 50 Gamerions in the Dungeon capture, and most importantly, he has been as active as ever in the civil war of the Vestian Empire.

"I think I borrowed the cart. What should I do? I can carry the monster's body, including Gamerion, in the item box."

　If you say so, no one will tell you to take the cart with them, which is only a hindrance to your journey, and you'll end up returning it to the place you rented it.

"Well, then, shall we go. If you go now, you'll be back in the evening. Oh, let me tell you, I won't be cooperating until I come back to Gilm. I'm not going to break up the Gamerion, so I'm going to do that. I'm not that good at that."
"Now that you mention it," If so, please leave it to me. Let me look forward to Mr. Ray bringing me a Gamerion."

　Thus Ray and Sett, Lent, Johanna and three of his companions, six and one of them, began to take action to defeat Gamerion.
