By the time Ray and Sett came to the guild, they had already passed the crowded hour, and there were only a few adventurers in the guild, thanks to the help of Kumito, a blacksmith's child, on the way to the guild.
　Of course, there are quite a few adventurers who hate crowds, so it's not empty, but at least it's not enough to move, so Ray leaves his set in front of the guild's waiting space and heads straight to the reception desk.
　And one of the first people to notice Ray.

"Oh, it's not Ray.I haven't seen you for a while, but you've been on a trip on a request? Didn't you get annoyed? If that happens, please tell me.I'll always comfort you, and I'll spread the bad news of the adventurer who's tormented Ray."

　Kenny, who is also a cat beast sitting on the other side of the counter, calls out loudly as soon as he sees Ray.
　Then, naturally, the adventurers in the guild look at Ray... especially the male adventurers.
　Kenny has a man-loving, full-bodied body, and is so handsome that he can be entrusted with the receptionist.Naturally, there are many fans and people who are aiming for it, and it is very popular.It is understandable that such a person is waving his hand loudly and joyfully.
　And the reaction of those who looked at him was divided into two.In other words, one knows Ray and the other doesn't.The number of adventurers who don't know Ray is increasing considerably because it's been quite a while since they left for Dungeon with Elena.Moreover, those who wanted Kenny but asked him out for dinner or a date were especially harsh.Kenny was originally a younger lover, but since he met Ray, he has been aggressive in both his hobby and profit.While these people are looking at Ray, fortunately, those who party with an adventurer who knows Ray don't act carelessly when they hear what he is like. ...No, I can't.
　But those who didn't know what Ray was and didn't have anything to do with him, or those who didn't know him here, looked grimly at him.He must have felt that kind of atmosphere.Lenora, the ponytail receptionist next to Kenny, opens her mouth.

"A little Kenny!"
"What?"
"You little bit of Ray's position..."

　Ray smiles at his usual jest and heads straight to the counter.

"It's been a while, but I'm glad you're doing as well as usual."
"HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaWhat do you have to do today?"

　As before, he goes down to Lenora instead of Kenny and submits a sheet of paper from inside the robe.
　It was a document from Dusker, Count of Larkes, to prove the completion of his request.
　Then, not only Kenny's fans, but also Lenora's fans will look at him, but Ray doesn't care at all.

"to report the completion of your request and to receive your reward."As for the monster's material, it's in the item box without peeling it yet, so next time."""
"All right.Please wait a moment."

　Lenora nods and walks into the back of the counter with her papers.Since it was a nomination request, there must be many different aspects from the usual request.

"Hey, Ray. You went to the dungeon for this request, right? How was it?"

　As soon as Lenora disappears, Kenny asks with a spark of curiosity in his eyes, but since he can't talk about Ver's betrayal or the succession ceremony, he says something harmless.

"Well, the first thing that surprised me the most was that there was a forest in the dungeon, a river, and even a sun-like thing."
"What? Really? Because the dungeon you went to is in the basement, right?"Oh, I don't know if it's fair to say that the first and second basement floors are normal... but they were just normal dungeons.That's where huge mushrooms grow on the third basement, and the fourth basement is a forest.The fifth basement was the dwelling of the undead, the sixth basement was a heap of traps, and there was no ordinary monster at the bottom."

　Kenny nods to Ray's explanation, as if his imagination could not keep up with him.
　That's when we were talking.A pair of adventurers in their mid-20s who look for a clue to Ray, rather than an embarrassing person, interrupts.

"Hey, don't you dress too well just because Kenny is the Guild's receptionist? I mean, show me your face."

　A warrior-like man with a sword at his waist casually removes the hood covering Ray's head.Then, Ray's face, which was about 15 years old and had a rather young appearance.The other side of the warrior's face, the man holding the spear, burst out laughing.

"Poops, you're still a hungry man, aren't you?Hey, don't be old enough for a hungry man like you to go to a dungeon or say whatever you want."

　Some of the guilds...those who know Ray are dumbfounded and those who don't know Ray are encouraged to do more.

"... well, can I think I'm being sold a fight?"
"Oh, well, yes. Maybe."

　Kenny muttered dumbfoundedly, but the two adventurers grinned at how they had misunderstood it.

"For the most part, you take advantage of what you're a child and give it to Kenny... good luck!"

　Watching the warrior trying to open his mouth again, Ray breathes out a small sigh and kicks the floor to close the gap in an instant.At the same time, he grabbed the man's head with his right hand alone, forced him to silence his words, and then lifted him up... and hurled him vigorously at the man with the spear, who was surprised at the sudden occurrence!

"Gosh!"

　As expected, he did not expect a man over 180cm tall to be thrown away wearing leather armor, and the spearman could not accept the sword and fell to the floor, polishing the floor with his own strength several meters.

『……』

　There is silence inside the guild.But the silence is clearly divided into two types.
　In other words, there are two things about Ray: 'Oh, I knew...' and 'Who is he?' who didn't know Ray existed.

"You guys just signed up for the guild".

　Ray turns his eyes to the spearman and asks, not the swordman who fainted when he was thrown at him.
　The spearman was dumbfounded without knowing what had happened, but he came back to himself and twitched his cheek.
　She must have understood what kind of person she was involved with now.Ordinary human beings...or even if they were skilled warriors in their own way, they would not normally be able to wield a large man in armor with one hand.But the person in front of you who you are involved with has no difficulty in doing so.But he didn't seem to have any strength in his body.

"Oh, yes, I just came to the town of Gilm about two days ago."

　He was a spearman who knew what kind of power his partner had and managed to answer questions while turning pale.It's not out of will, it's out of pure fear that I don't want to incur the anger of the presence in front of me any more.

"I suppose, I'mindicates me.

　Ray tried to say something, but should I say the timing was right or wrong?Just then, Lenora appears from the back of the counter.
　In this case, the timing was good for the men.

"Mr. Ray, do you have the reward... Oh? What's the matter?"
"...nothing,"Finally, he looked at the spearman as if he were dumbfounded, then exhaled, and turned to Lenora.

"No, Ray is handsome.Don't fight for me! I'm yours!"

　Kenny, who was in agony like that, left him alone for a moment.

"Well... who's lying on the floor?"
"Now? Aren't you sleep deprived?"
"I'm plainly frightened by Mr. Ray."Well, you got tangled up again like you did with a hawk's claws?"

　Lenora also looks dumbfounded at the fainted swordman and the stunned spearman.

"Mr. Schaele,"This is Ray, a Rank D adventurer.He is also the shortest record holder in the town of Guillum, which rose to rank D only a month after registering as a guild.You'd better be careful who you get involved with."
"Yes, yes!

　Shale, a spearman who shrieks and runs away from the guild with his fainting partner on his back, leaving his partner behind him and giving him a little credit in Ray's failure to escape.

"And here's the reward.Please check."

　Lenora handed me a small bag of cloth, which I had in my hand as if nothing had happened, and when I checked the receipt, I found that it had indeed been paid by Gran, two gold coins and a white one.The reward for success was two light coins, and one white coin was probably the color of the reward which Dusker had heard.Two gold coins, enough for ordinary ordinary people's families to live without working for nearly 10 years.For that reason, he must have brought it wrapped in a cloth bag in front of other adventurers.Ray understands this and thanks Lenora with a small smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm saved,"
"No. This is also a receptionist's job. ... Well, in a different way, Ray seems to be attracting everyone's attention."

　Ray shrugs at the eyes of the adventurers inside the guild.

"Well, now, Ray.Why don't you congratulate Ray on his safe return? I want to congratulate him on his safe return.I'll give you a service, too.

　Kenny emphasizes the richness of his chest, holding it between his arms, and shows a deep valley at the chest of his clothes.
　And when Kenny takes a pose emphasizing his chest, Lenora reacts almost reflexively.

"Hey, Kenny! You're still working, aren't you? You should do that after work."
"But then you might have a party with a woman you don't know anywhere."
"I understand Kenny's feelings, but his job is still first!"
"That's why women with small breasts are said to have small bowls."

　Lenora's words sparkled with blue lines on her forehead, and even so, she still had a smile on her lips because of her job as a receptionist.

"Hey, Kenny. If you like, I can report this to the guildmaster. What should I do?"
"What!? That's not cowardly!""Because my colleagues are going to skip work.As a serious guild employee, it's only natural to report it to you, isn't it?"
"...I'm sorry, Ray.I'll invite you back to the party next time..."

　Kenny plunges down to the counter as soon as he surrenders, and his ample bulge is crushed at the counter, where the eyes of the adventurers in the guild gather.

"Not at all. If you come with a man..."

　Lenora muttered discontentedly, almost instinctively aware of the attention being focused.
　When the adventurers hear the voice, they look away, but not only Lenora but also the female adventurers look at it coldly.

"Well, then, I'll be going soon, too.I'd like to say that I'm going to spend a lot of time with Seto... but I have to strip the monsters of their materials and take out the magic stones."Because of their favor, the monster I beat this time gave up almost all of it."""

　As he said this, he remembered Elena without thinking, and Ray blushes slightly, thinking of a kiss scene.
　And of course Kenny was watching it...

"Hey, Ray.I don't know who it is, but don't fall for a woman's love affair!"

　as if to say that what he had been doing was not s*xual intercourse.

"Kenny, wait a minute.They want me to calm down.Mr. Ray, I'll keep Kenny under control, so before long!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Okay."

　Rey nods to Lenora's words and leaves the guild as if something bad would happen if she stayed here.

(Leave it to me and go ahead! ...or...or it was me.What kind of death flag is it?)

　muttering like that.

"Let go of Lenora.My Ray-kun is to be taken in by ain't he?"
`You too must calm down!'

　With that voice in my back.
