The people there were in high spirits in the carriage to Gilm.

"It's good to have Ray follow you, isn't it?" I was able to hunt three and a half Gamerions in the end."

 The man in the former squad muttered deeply.
 Lent opens his mouth with pride at his words.

"You mean I had the foresight,"
"... you know. If we can pull Ray in, there will be no problem in terms of military strength at that point. It's a foresight, or iron plate? Well, I'll be honest with you for pulling Ray in."
"Well, I'm not sure if it's being praised,"

 Rent muttered a complex look at Johanna's words.
 Originally, this Gamerion hunt has a strong appeal to Johanna.
 Nevertheless, Johanna's attitude was far from a successful gamerion hunt for Lent.
 Even if it succeeded in killing three and a half Gamerions -- half shared with the fangs of the beasts -- in cooperation with Ray and Seto.

「……」

 One of the men in the former squad pats Lent on the shoulder in silence.
 The comfort puts Lent in a delicate mood.
 She knows what she feels for Johanna, but she wants her to realize it anyway.
 But Johanna doesn't seem to notice Lent's feelings at all, completely, strangely... to the point of course.

(Well, that's probably because of Seto.)

 Ray will be walking out of the carriage window, thinking of his partner.
 It was obvious that Johanna's feelings for the opposite s*x were going to Seto, not to a man.

"More importantly, don't forget to prepare a place to dismantle the Gamelion when you get back to Gilm. It won't go bad in my item box, but you want to exchange it for money soon, don't you?"
"Huh? Oh, that's all right. We have a good place to dismantle. If I go back to Gilmoo, I'll be there right away."

 Ray's words diverted, but Lento replies so unnoticed.
 No, it must have been a welcome thing for Lento, in the sense that he would look away from reality.

"Gamerion meat... if you want to taste its charm directly, it's best to simply grill it and eat it." It's delicious to boil it down."
"Skewers or something like that.
"That's fine, but I think it's better to grill it on an iron plate."

 Listening to a cooking conversation about Gamerion, Ray also says that he can't give up this much.

"I'd recommend stew," I'm going to boil it down, too."

 The stew I ate at Wheat-tei last evening passed through Ray's mind.
 Potato-like vegetables are soft and chewy, even though the meat is stewed, and the mouth is full of gravy. The natural sweetness of the vegetables was firmly blended into the soup, and the fact that some beans were used as an accent was also a wonderful presentation.

"...yeah, the wheat-tei stew at dusk was the best."

 Lent nods convincingly to Ray's words.
 Johanna and others in the former squad had never been to the Wheat House in the evening, so they could not understand it, but Lent, who knew how it tasted, could not help nodding.
 However, Lent is not just nodding.

Stew is good, but the Gamerion meat served as an ingredient in udon is also delicious. In particular, udon noodles at Manjokutei can't be removed.
"Oh, yes. I see."

 Ray, who apparently doesn't know that it was him who suggested udon, speaks vaguely.
 Ray's suggestion of udon was widely known to people who knew it, but even adventurers... at least not to Rento.

"Well, they all look delicious. Mr. Ray, could you tell me where to serve delicious Gamerion food?"

 Ray thinks a little before he talks to a man in the former squad who was listening to Ray and Lent.

"My best recommendation is to go to the restaurant in the Wheat-tei at dusk." It's an expensive inn in the guillem, and the food is delicious. Also, the Manjokutei that Lent just mentioned is a good place to eat, to be cheap, and to be quick. I'm sure there are other places to serve Gamerion food if Gamerion goes around more. Oh, the food at the stall is delicious, too. Skewers are common, but the way they are cooked and seasoned varies greatly depending on the restaurant."
"Well, then, next time..."

 Let's go. When I try to say that, the man in the carriage opens a small window leading into the carriage and opens his mouth.

"Hey, I see Gilmoo."
"Oh, you've got it. The carriage is fast and easy."

 When Lent looked out of the window, he saw a guillem exterior wall in the already dim light.
 The people in the carriage exclaim with joy at Gilm's appearance.

"Good. You came back to Gilmoo safely."
"It hasn't been long since I came to Gilmoo... But when I look at it like this, I feel like I'm back."
"Well, isn't it unavoidable that this is the frontier?"

 He must have been nervous for some reason. As soon as we see Gilm, we talk more brightly than ever.
 When they arrived at the gate of Gillum, many of them, like the Ray's, would have gone on a gamerion hunt. There were several adventurous parties carrying Gamerion's body in the cart.

(Oh... that party)

 Looking out of the carriage window, Ray suddenly notices a familiar adventurer's party.
 It was a group of three adventurers, one of whom drew Gamerion's attention and the other two of whom went around behind him.

"Huh? What's wrong with you, Ray?"

 You must have noticed Ray staring in one place. Lent asks mysteriously.

"No, just a minute," More than that...

 He muttered to that extent, and suddenly noticed a great deal of attention being directed at him from the window of his carriage.
 Some of Ray's adventurous party group, which he had seen a few seconds earlier, is now turning an interesting look toward the carriage.

"I think it's attracting a lot of attention."
"That's true. It's quite unusual to drive a cab to hunt Gamerion, and above all, there's Seto outside the cab. I mean, it's clear who's in this carriage."
"... I see,"

 Johanna, watching Ray and Lent communicate, suddenly opens her mouth.

"Mr. Ray doesn't realize that he's a celebrity, does he? It's not strange to be famous just by carrying Seto-chan."
"No, I understand that the name is selling well and stands out." I can't help but feel it."

 This is the only place that can be said to be Ray's, where he still drags the feeling of being in Japan.

"And..."

 Johanna began to say something more.

"Seto-chan, Seto-chan, Seto-chan," How have you been!?"Suddenly I hear a voice like that outside the carriage and Johanna stops moving.
 Then, looking out of the carriage like a broken doll, I saw Johanna's first-time companion patting Seto on the head and feeding him the dried meat he had in his hand.
 If that's the only case, it's not that unusual.
 Seto is popular in Gilm and loved by adventurers, soldiers, knights, merchants, and many others.
 But still... Johanna didn't know why, but the moment she saw him adoring Sett, she realized that his cheeks twitched.
 Then, almost reflexively, they open the door of the carriage and rush out.

"Ah... this is what happened..."

 Watching her back, Ray muttered involuntarily.
 Just by hearing the voice, Ray knew who was in the street now.
 In the sense that he loved Seto, he was the best person in the guillem.
 In response, the man who came from the Empire of Bestia to Gillum because he wanted to be with Seto.
 Of course, Rey understands that it is not the only reason why Johanna came to Gillum... ...the kingdom of Mileana.
 But he also understood that this was one of the major reasons.
 At any rate, I understood that neither of them was inferior to the other in the sense of affection for Seto, and that it might cause trouble if such a person met."

(Why did the Mire Dog go out of the guillem at this time of year? You said you've already saved enough money for the winter.)

 While inwardly fed up, Johanna recalls that it was inevitable that she would eventually encounter the Mire Dog as long as she was free to move around in the guillem.

(I'm glad I was out of town, not out of town... I have to think so. and if it were to be fought between the two of them, there would be no harm to the people around them."

 Thinking of it as the least salvation, Lent, who had returned to his senses in the carriage, turned his eyes to Ray.

"Well, now, Ray," I wonder if it's right now...

 Lent is also a Gillum adventurer.
 Of course I knew someone who loved Seto.
 The person may be the leader of the Rank C party, the scorching wind.
 Unlike Lent, the two men in the carriage don't understand what's going on.
 The man in the cab was unable to move in the tense air.

"Oh, it's probably just as Lent had expected."
"And you don't have to stop me?"
"...yes,"

 He stood up very reluctantly... suddenly his eyes turned to Lent.

"Well, Lent," Wouldn't it be better for you to leave in this case?"
"What!? Are you telling me to die!"

 Ray's words call out outrageous.
 It was no use thinking I was talking about anything, but for anyone who understood the scene outside the carriage, it would never have been a joke.
 Ray wondered for a moment whether he had to go to such a place where he could have killed each other, but decided that if Seto was the reason for the killing, he would have to go.
 I made sure all the magic items I always wore were properly equipped and went out of the carriage.
 At that moment, Ray felt something of a viscous air, but it was only natural that he came from Mireinu and Johanna, who were facing each other near Sett.
 Behind the canine, we could also see the appearance of acril and sulnin, such as no treatment.

『……』

 Ray opens his mouth to the two, who face each other in silence and look at each other.

"Don't be too murderous of them. I'm afraid of Seto."

 It was right to mention Seto's name instead of just stopping him.

"Guru..."

 A set with a slightly tilted head asking, "What's the matter? Are you fighting?"
 The call of Seto brings the two men back to their senses.
 When I turn my eyes to Seto, I realize that Seto is looking at us with anxious expressions in his round eyes, and I shake my head hurriedly.

"Oh, that's not the case. I'm not fighting with her, so don't worry about her?"
"Yes. Look, we're on good terms.

 the two of them shoulder to shoulder in front of Seto
 Both the Miredog and Johanna were smiling, but the Miredog was scratching Johanna's body and Johanna was stepping on Miredog's feet.
 But neither of them could express the pain, and they remained smiling at each other's.
 I guess Seto was finally relieved to see it. give a happy cry

"I feel like I've seen a lot of terrible things."

 They smile outwardly, but underneath that smile, Ray just has to wait for the process of entering the guillem with a resigned smile.
 ...Sulnin gently slaps Ray on the shoulder and shakes his head helplessly.
 At this moment, Ray and Sulnin definitely knew each other.
 Then snow falls from the sky, as if to cool down their heads... or as if to allow more fighting.
 Ray didn't seem happy or sad at all, even though it was his first snow this winter.
