910 Episode 0910



Now that he has decided to make a nomination request, Ray has been heading alone to the guild with Marka and Coan and Sett, who are willing to proceed with the request rather than stay still.

"Oh, this skewer is delicious. Well, the shopkeeper. I'd like another bottle.
"Hahaha! Did you say you wanted it?" I'm no match for my daughter. Look, it's hot and fresh, so be careful."
"Well, fresh‐baked food tastes good. It's also good to eat while it's snowing like this."
"Grull".

 Next to Marka who happily eats skewers, Seto also purrs happily while eating skewers.
 -- yes, Marca, the Duchess of Quent, but not the carriage she was riding in when she came to the Wheat-tea at dusk, but now she was walking about in the guillem.
 And as Ray and Set always do, they buy and drink.
 Furthermore, unlike when he came to the Wheat House at dusk, his clothes were of good quality but too simple to be considered aristocratic.
 If you look at Marka now, you may think she is the daughter of some rich merchant, but if she is a nobleman... you may hardly think she is a Duchess, either.
 If there is one, has it ever seen Marka as a nobleman?

"Are you carrying your daughter and Seto?" That's great. ... Look, I've had this, too."
"What? Is that all right?"
"Oh, oh, oh, I don't care." Our sandwiches are a little different from what we eat there?"
"What? Really? Then let's get it right away!"

 Marka nibbles vigorously at the sandwich she gets from the stall owner.
 At that moment, a sauce pops up between the sandwiches, but he eats on without worrying about it at all the time.
 People walking around naturally smile at the sight.

"Is it okay? It's just a sneak peek, but it stands out like this."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Besides, I don't think anyone would touch Ray or Sett."

 Ray and Coan also continued to eat skewers, and the party arrived at the guild after buying and drinking at stalls several times.

"Well, Gillum is wonderful. If my mistress is doing this at Gracial, it will surely cause a stir."
"If Marca, the home of the Duke of Quent, and his only daughter, goes out, it is quite natural."
"You'll understand,"
"Grull".

 When he arrives at the guild, Seto purrs and heads for his usual place, even though Ray doesn't say anything.
 Marka and Coan are once again surprised at Seto's cleverness, and Ray joins them into the guild.

"Oh! Guild after a long time! Guild!" Guild?"

 Marka cheered the moment he first entered the guild, but immediately noticed that there were fewer people in the guild, and at the same time, he questioned the fact that the bar that was set up alongside the guild was almost full.

"Well, Ray. Isn't this a bar, not a guild? When I came here last year, I don't think the guild had any adventurers."

 Marka looks up at Ray and mutters.
 It was a very unusual experience for a short Ray to be looked up from below.
 He nods and opens his mouth, feeling a little happy about it doesn't show his expression.

"This is not only a guild, but also a bar. I don't know so much about guilds in other towns, but they are basically attached to bars."
"I suppose you're aiming to be able to report the completion of your request at the guild and receive your reward, and then eat and drink at the bar. In fact, every guild earns quite a bit of money."

 Coan mutters as if to follow Ray's words.
 After hearing their explanation, Marka looks around both the guild and the bar again.
 There are several adventurers in the guild. In comparison, bars are almost full.

"Well, but when you look at it like this, there are more people in the bar."
"It's winter now." Adventurers can work in a warmer or less snowy place in winter, but unfortunately this guillem has quite a lot of snow. Adventurers are closed until the snow melts."
"I see... but winter doesn't mean there's no such thing as a monster who appears only in winter, as my mistress knows."
"That's their turn,"

 Corean's eyes were turned to adventurers in the guild.
 I'm looking through the request board for any good requests.

"Not all adventurers can raise enough money to go beyond the winter. Those who fail to do so are looking for a request that can be made in the snow. Well, my dear lady. Shall I ask you to do it?"
"Yes! Let's go, Ray, Coan!"

 Marka looks curiously around him, but eventually nods to Coan and heads towards the guild counter.
 There are, as usual, Lenora and Kenny, as well as the other receptionists.
 However, given the situation in the guild, it is only natural that you should be free.
 There's a job like organizing documents, but it's not something you can do all day.
 That's why Ray and his familiar friends Lenora and Kenny were quick to notice Ray had entered the guild.
 ...though I was surprised to have both Marka and Coan with me.

(Oh dear?)

 Kenny was looking at Lenora in silent communication, but suddenly realized that he was familiar with the man with Ray.

(I'm sure he... has spoken to Ray in the guild before, hasn't he?)

 Every day Kenny would meet dozens, hundreds, and in some days more than a thousand adventurers, but some would recognize that it was Ray's associates who remembered him even though he had only met them once.
 But more than that, as the Guild's receptionist, that man... had something to feel for Coan.
 That's how Kenny thinks... more precisely, Ray, Marka, and Coan head towards Lenora next to them.

"Well, this is the lady in charge. I see, it's called the guild's face, and it's full of good-looking people."

 Marka mutters admiringly at the sight of Lenora and Kenny.
 Lenora and Kenny, however, don't feel comfortable being praised like that.
 This is because Marka, who describes herself as a good-looking girl, is very lovely even though she is not even ten years old.
 It's now described as lovely, but it was certain that if she continued to grow, she would become a striking beauty.
 Nevertheless, he demonstrates his prowess and speaks so as not to express his feelings.

"Ray, what about these people? I think they came to the guild last year."Kenny is the first to call out to Ray.
 Coan twists his eyebrows a little surprised at Kenny's appearance.
 You didn't think you remembered yourself for showing up a little bit.

"Slightly pick..."
"Good, Ray. In this case, the mistress who asks should speak. The mistress is Marka Quent. Well, wouldn't it be easy to understand if you said you belonged to the Duke of Quent

 The moment you say that, most of the other guild staff at the counter, as well as the receptionist, open their eyes to surprise.
 It's only natural that the Duke of Quent is one of the most powerful aristocrats in the kingdom of Milliana.
 Few guild officials could pretend to be calm when they heard that there were people involved in such a person.
 Some, however, remembered that he was the one who came last year and helped with the rank-up exam, and thought he might have been able to do so.
 It's even more likely that Ray, who was upgraded at the time, is with us.

"I beg your pardon. Dear Marka Quent, What can I do for you to-day?"

 Kenny is usually light-hearted and deals with adventurers, but naturally she is well-educated as a receptionist.
 Ray looked small and surprised at Kenny's appearance as he bowed and asked.
 I guess Kenny can't help but feel a little dissatisfied when he sees it.
 Lenora, who was next to Kenny, watched the conversation without interruption, wondering if he had decided to leave it to Kenny.
 If Kenny does something strange, he'll stop it at once.
 The Duchess, anyway. for there could even be a problem between the guild and the duchess if there were to be any strange disturbances here.
 Marca opens her mouth to Kenny, unaware of Lenora's feelings.

"Well, I'm thinking of asking Ray for the nomination. That's why I got to the guild."
"What? To Rey, to Rey...?"

 Perhaps it was because Marka's words had a bad feeling. Kenny's gaze turns to Ray.
 For Kenny, Ray has not yet returned from the Empire of Bestia -- from Kenny's point of view.
 Nevertheless, the Duke's request for a nomination makes me worry about whether I have time to rest.

"Well, actually, I'm going to have Ray teach at the military academy in Graciale, where he has a concubine's house."
"... is Ray the instructor?"

 a face that makes me want to say what I was worried about a few seconds ago.
 Kenny was usually like a s*xy sister, but nobody would feel that way when they saw Kenny listening to Marka's words.
 It's not just Kenny. Lenora has a similar expression on her face.
 For them, the terms Ray and his instructor were totally incompatible.
 At the very least, it's hard for them to imagine that Ray would teach someone -- or to a cadet.
 Of course I know Ray is not entirely unfit to be a teacher.
 That's what I've been asking you to train your bassrero last year.
 But it was only for Basrero... a child of about ten years old.
 When it comes to military academies, they may attend mid to late teens, some even in their twenties.
 In other words, it is basically only Ray's age or older that goes there.
 Given Ray's personality, I didn't think he could play the role of course teach.
 It's not just Kenny or Lenora who was listening. The same goes for other guild workers.
 In the first place, Ray is by no means good at dealing with people.
 It was nothing short of a surprise to the guild staff when Ray was offered to teach.
 Some people fear that the cadets will be rendered useless.
 It is Ray to treat a friendly partner friendly and a hostile partner unfriendly, and on top of that, there is no mercy on a hostile partner.
 It was rumored by security that the men's arms had been amputated in an attempt to attack Baron Cisne's family in an attempt to avoid a duel several weeks ago over the issue of Baron Cisne and the next head of the Earl of Eriel.
 Still, Ray is not feared in guillem because he is known to use meaningless violence.
 ...however, it is undeniable that Seto's presence has greatly eased his fear of Ray, and it may also be influenced by the fact that he buys a lot of food at stalls and other restaurants.

"Well, my father has consulted me before. That's when I thought of Ray."
"But, you know, Ray isn't very good at teaching people."

 If Ray leaves Gillum again when asked for the nomination, Kenny manages to convince Marka to change her mind.

(I understand Kenny's feelings, but I don't think I'll give up so easily since I've come all the way to pick him up at Gillum. ...but, as Kenny said, if Mr. Ray were to be an instructor, there would be a lot of problems.)

 Lenora, listening to Kenny and Marka's conversation, turns a worried look toward Ray.
 Lenora, who thinks Ray is his younger brother, was worried that Ray might cause trouble at the military academy.

"Don't worry about it," Ray will be in charge of a mock game. Ray's strength is going to be a great incentive for the students, too.
"...not to speak of stimulation, but rather of confidence."

 Knowing Ray's strength, Kenny's words are somewhat real.
 After that, he manages to encourage anyone other than Ray to become an instructor, but Marka has no intention of listening to it.
 It's only natural. The purpose of this nomination is to temporarily protect Ray by himself.
 and when Kenny's words of persuasion were lost...

"Keep it there, Kenny,"

 Marina's voice, the guildmaster, echoed around her.
