The man holding his chest... or rather, Ray looks the boy in the face with expressionless eyes.
　Perhaps he didn't like it, the boy tells Ray in a louder voice than before.

"Answer. I'm asking my mother what she did."
"...let go,"

　Ray opens his mouth, frowning uncomfortable frown.
　That's only natural.Ray himself is entangled in something he doesn't remember.

"Answer me.If that's the case, I'll take the right attitude. ... That's the last time.Answer me."
「……」

　He must have judged it useless to talk any further.Ray silently puts his hand on the man's wrist holding his chest.
　and the moment he was about to crush the bones of his wrists.

"Lodos, let go.The boy has done nothing to me.I was only surprised to see this boy without my permission."

　A cane was inserted between the boy and Ray's face, called Rodos.

"But mother! It's not normal for her to back off when she did nothing! I'm sure she did something to her."

　Rodos insists upon a woman who speaks in a masculine tone, but the woman breathes and slaps her cane to Rodos's head.
　The sound of beating the meat with a blunt instrument echoes around him, and adventurers who are near Ray and hear the sound frowned at the thought of pain.

"Gosh!"

　Rodos, of course, holds his head down and goes down to the floor, but the woman bowed to Ray without looking at him.

"Sorry, boy, my son was rude.I want you to forgive me."
「……」

　Returning his gaze silently, the woman lifts Rodos, who was lying on the floor, and forces him to bow.

"Yes, Rodos is reflecting on himself, and I will never let him behave so rudely again.That's why I'd appreciate it if you could let this happen in the water.Of course, I wouldn't say unconditionally.If anything happens, I promise that the A-rank party, the A-rank Raijin's axe, will help."

　Ray reacts briskly to the word A rank party.
　For Ray, who wants to move up the guild's ranks and fight against more powerful monsters, an A-ranked party is not a loss to be connected.Ray nods small when he decides so.

"There was no real harm done.Let's understand that we've made a loan to the A rank party."

　A woman who breathes a sigh of relief when she hears Ray's words.

(In that moment the boy was definitely going to smash Rodos' wrists.And this ridiculous magic.Should I say that I was saved from having to confront such a man?

　muttering inwardly, he opened his mouth again in front of him."Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet.I'm Min. I'm the mother of a stupid son who got involved in a boy."
"Mother!"

　Ignoring Rodos' words, he turned his eyes to the man who looked amusedly at the three of them.

"I'm afraid I'm Elk, my husband and leader of the axe of the god of thunder."

　He must have heard a voice introducing himself.A man called Elk approaches them with a smile around his mouth.

"Oh, I'm sorry that my son got involved.My wife introduced me to Elk, and thank you very much."

　Elk laughs vigorously as if it were just looks.Ray, too, breathes a little and opens his mouth to see if the poison has been drained.

"It's Ray,"
"Well, that's all.Is there something more like this? Like your favorite food or your favorite type of woman."
"Elk, you should be quiet for a while."

　Elk is reluctant to hear Min's voice. Ray keeps in mind that Min seems to have the most voice among the three.

"We have been adventurers in the town of Gillum for a long time, and did you say Ray?"I don't remember seeing your face, but did you come to this town recently?"
"Well, it hasn't been a few days since I signed up for the guild."

　It wasn't Min who was talking or Elk who was behind Min who first responded to the words.It was Rodos who was looking at Ray with a suspicious air next to Min.

"What!? Do you know what the adventurers here are gathering for?"
"Isn't it the Oak?"

　Ray returned without hesitation, but he must have felt that he was making a fool of himself.Rodos glares at Ray with a bright red face.
　However, as soon as he was about to fire again, Min's cane was shaken down on his head.

"Oh! Oh, mother.Don't hit my son on the head with a bang. I mean, it's a magic-engine, not a club."
"Shut up, don't poke your nose into what I'm talking about."
"But!"

　When Rodos tries to make more comments, the man who was shouting "emergency request" comes into the meeting room.
　Min must have decided to stop talking when he saw it.She pulls her husband and son to a chair near Ray.

"Everyone gathered well.In terms of the number of people...

　said he, looking around the conference room.

"Thirty,"

　When Ray entered the conference room, there were only about 20 people, but apparently a few of them came while talking to Rodos, Minn and Elk.
　I will open my mouth after confirming them."This is Bobbs, who will take charge of this request.As I said earlier, the request is a mission to subdue Oak.The reward is five gold coins in advance.Two white gold coins after the request was completed.Also, consider additional bonuses depending on your contribution.Also, only those who participated in this mission in the right ear, which proved the subjugation of oak, usually have three silver coins.That's all right?"

　Everybody nodded to Bobbs' voice.

"The place where oaks form a settlement is one day away from the town of Gilm.In terms of numbers, there are at least fifty. ... Listen! There are at least fifty.Of course, assume that there are more than this.In addition, there is no doubt that rare or superior species are leading the race.The departure will be just after noon today.Gather in front of the main gate from those who are ready."The plan was to stay overnight on the way and arrive near the village tomorrow afternoon."After that, they plan to rest until night and carry out night raids at night.Do you have any questions?"

　One of the adventurers opens his mouth when asked if he had any questions.

"Have you confirmed the existence of Oakmage?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's better to think there are."
"How much do you contribute to the guild if you accomplish this request?"
"Of course, I will consider it when I move up to the next rank.but only those who played an active part.I can't just participate in this request unconditionally."
"Do you think the guild will provide you with a carriage to move to the hamlet?"
"Yes, but that's fine as long as you can prepare your own.In that case, we'll have to load goods into the empty space."
"Will the guild supply the goods?"
"Yes, but I don't mind using it as long as I can prepare it myself."
"What is the chain of command?"
"I am in charge of the command,"

　Bobbs answers questions from adventurers without hesitation.
　Ray, who was listening to the question, also raises his hand.

"I think we can cooperate in transporting goods, but does that add to our contribution?"
"Cooperation in transporting goods? What kind of means is that?"

　In Bobbs's words, he showed the mistling in his right hand.

"This is a kind of item box called Mistilling.If we use this, there will be no problem with the transportation of goods."

　As he spoke, he took out the portion from the mistling and then stored it again in the mistling.

"The item box...is it real?"
"It's my first time seeing it."
"Me, too. I mean, it's a place where you can usually see such expensive magic items once in a lifetime, right?

　Many people in the conference room seemed to know that Ray and the hawk's claws had a fight, but apparently few people knew that they had bet the item box as a prize for betting.
　and some of the people who knew it gave him an observation-like penetrating glance.
　Ray turns his eyes to Bobbs, pretending not to notice them intentionally.

"... all right.If you use the item box to help transport goods, I'll give it a credit to the guild."

　and Bobbs answered the question in detail."Well, you have no other questions, don't you? Then, at the end, tell me what kind of skills each has.Of course, I don't mind that as to what I want to hide.from the beginning of the door, nearest to the door."

　After hearing the words, a group of about four adventurers move forward and explain the skills they can use to Bobbs.
　The guild would like to know the adventurers' skills as a force for this request, but other than this, it would not have been possible to tell them to teach their skills in front of other than this one.He is generous enough not to say anything about his teaching skills.

(In the end, I'm the only soloist.)

　He muttered inwardly, looking at the surroundings.Except for Ray, everything was a party of several people, and Ray was the only one in the conference room.

"May I call you Ray?"

　Min calls out to Ray, who was observing his surroundings.Ray nods to his words.

"Well, I wish I could, but I'd like you to show me an item box for future reference.Of course, I will be able to show you such a valuable item, so I will be able to thank you later."
"I don't mind, but Mistilling is no use for anyone but me?"
"Oh, that's all right.Please."

　He handed over the bracelet, which had been fitted into his right arm, as if he were being pushed by an attitude that could only be described as forceful.

"Oh, this is... I see, I feel a powerful magic."

　Next to Min, who was impressed, Rodos still looked at Ray with a suspicious air.

"Ummm, it's not my ability, it's my strong magic item after all right.Then I too... Geez!"

　Elk's fist swings down to his head without saying anything.

"Well, Father..."
"You're not upset just because Min's interest is for someone else.
"Father, am I!"
"I can't see you from the edge, you know... I'm sorry, Ray. As you can see, he's about the same age as you, but I can't help but leave my mother."

　Ray turns his eyes to Min, who is eagerly examining the mystery ring, at Elk's words.Min's calmness disappeared like a lie when he first met her, and his eyes glistened.

"Don't worry. I don't care if it's a mother-in-law."
"Mother-Con?"
"Oh, it's a common name for someone who loves his mother."
"I see. Then Rodos is certainly a mother-in-law."
"Father! You've got to do with it, too.You've just registered yourself in the guild, and you're talking too much to me as a C-rank."

　and again, Rodos's fists fell upon his head, and he was writhing on the floor.

"Oh, don't get angry just because you hit me right."
"Oh, I don't..."

　Rodos tries to open his mouth while holding his head back, but before that, Bobbs' loud voice reverberates into the conference room."Next, you have an item box!"

　Ray looked around him in the voice, but the number of people in the conference room had decreased by half.I guess he's already getting ready to leave after talking to Bobbs.

"Oh, I'm sorry.It was helpful."

　The mysterious ring returned by Min is fitted back into his right arm, and Rodos, who still seems to want to say something, goes down the Bobbs.

"What's your name?"
"Ray,"
"What's your rank?"
"It's G rank.

　Bobbs frowns as soon as Ray announces his rank.

"Do you know that the minimum requirement for this request is to be able to defeat the oak?"
"Yes, I signed up for the guild a few days ago, so I'm still in the G rank, but I'm good enough to beat the water bear."
"...what?"
"And if you're worried about my ability, you'll understand to some extent if you ask someone like Gran, a guild official."
"... I see.I'll ask Gran just in case, but it's only his own responsibility to accept the request.You have nothing to complain about, have you?"

　Rey nods to Bobbs' words.

"Well, what are you good at?"
"The magic of fire, and close combat, can be done in its own way.Then there's a monster that's taming."

　Ray simply talks about his abilities, and when he hears them, he notes something on the paper he has in his hand.

"If magic and close combat are possible, is it a magician?"
"Well, he's not so much a magician as a magician."
"...what's the difference?"

　In Bobbs' words, he takes the death size out of the mystery ring.
　Bobbs opens his eyes when he sees the huge weapon, which is over two meters long and over one meter long.
　A few people who were still in the conference room looked at the scythe, which suddenly appeared.

"My weapon, as you can see, is not a sword at all right."
"... I see.And as for the transportation of goods, may I look forward to it?"
"Yes, there is no problem.I want to raise the guild rank as soon as possible."
"Then you must get ready and come to the guild before noon.I'll have the goods kept there."

　He nods to Bobbs' words, caressing Mistiling.

"By the way, can I take the monsters who tame me?"
"Oh, there's no problem with that.We welcome the increase in military strength.but don't try to injure other adventurers.""She's clever, and if she doesn't harm her, she won't interfere with her."
"Well, you may go.Don't forget to come before noon."

　He nodded to Bobbs and left the conference room.
