"I expect you to have crimson. Please teach us too!"

　Ray looks bewildered as the trio appears to be an adventurer, bowing deeply in front of him.
　There are many other people known as aristocrats and merchants besides the adventurers bowing their heads, the daskers and elks bowing down, the daskers and elks who look back to the books they read for a moment, and Rodos carrying bread to their mouths like strangers.
　In the midst of all this, it would not be noticeable if there were people bowing wide, and they were receiving a lot of attention from those people in the dining room and their guards.

"Mr. Dusker?"
"I don't know. You're still supposed to be my bodyguard, but you're not really my bodyguard anymore because you're going to play in a competition. Act at your discretion."

　I'm telling you the truth, but the amusing gaze in his eyes told me everything.
　What are we going to do about this situation? With Elk, I'm waiting to see what happens, carrying fruit wine into my mouth.
　the first few days of one's stay at an inn No matter how comfortable the inn was, it must have been boring as a dusker because he had to stay inside the inn for a long time.
　Ray and Rodos are essentially unguarded as Dusker put it and are in good shape for the two days to go.
　In addition to Dusker, the aristocrats who stayed at the Kutei of the Eternal Empire spent their time visiting the imperial capital as a sightseeing tour, or took this opportunity to deepen their interaction with the aristocrats of other countries.
　Dusker, however, is a nobleman in the kingdom of Milliana who has long been hostile to the Vestian Empire.
　Most aristocrats have no contact with themselves, as some say they will be noticed when they come into contact with them within the Empire of Bestia.
　The other merchants who are staying--so-called "big merchants"--are interesting to know that the guillem is on the outskirts of the kingdom of Milliana, with rare materials, but it is too far away to do business with.
　Or even if he were to learn from other nobles to see the imperial capital, he would not put himself at risk as a dasker, who is being targeted in many ways.
　No matter how good an adventurer like Elk may be, he doesn't have the peculiar spirit to risk himself.
　As a result, Dusker was locked up in the inn, and he had nothing to do but to meet with a few queer characters and to build up a dull, if not Ray.
　In other words, it's safe to say that I've had too much time on my hands.
　It was the same for Elk, who was employed as a bodyguard for Dusker, and for them it was nothing more than a good waste of time for him to be a trainee or apprentice.
　I don't articulate it, but my gaze at Ray clearly shows my intention.

"... what do you think, Rodos?"

　Deciding it was no use asking Dusker and Elk, Ray asks Rodos, who he is currently training with.
　At this time, Ray had decided that Rodos would refuse.
　There are many things you will naturally learn to train with a person who is more powerful than you. In other words, for Rodos, the more he trains with Ray, the more his skill increases.
　It's no exaggeration to say that he waved the conversation to Rodos in anticipation of it.
　But...

"I don't care,"
"...what?"

　Rodos's words came out of Ray's mouth, unexpectedly, to allow others to join him.
　I can't help but stare at Rey's Rodos at a different answer than I expected.
　Rodos opens his mouth apologizing for such an eye.

"No, I'm sure I've trained with Ray... But it's also true that you don't know if you're getting stronger or not if you're training only Ray forever. That's why I want to fight with other people once in a while."
"... I see,"

　Even Ray can't help but agree with Rodos's explanation.
　a series of mock battles between Ray and Rodos Each time, Ray also gradually weakens his adjustment to match Rodos's increasing strength.
　And, politely, as much as Rodos has become stronger.
　In other words, Rodos doesn't feel it at all, even though he's actually strong.
　Ray's words that he is getting stronger, and the speed and sharpness of wielding a sword, were the only things I could feel my strength, but if possible, I'd like to fight against others in a mock battle during training and win. It would be no use feeling that way.

(Did you overdo it?)

　Ray mutters as he looks at Rodos.

(It's true that there's a tendency to lose.) Then...)

　He glances at the candidates for apprenticeship, who are glancing at him.

(It's also exciting that these guys and Rodos fight to build their confidence. if that would be a training for them, I'

　When he puts his thoughts together inside, Ray opens his mouth to the three who are still bowing.

"I'll tell you, I'm also in the competition. Rodos's training is almost a hobby, but it's just a matter of course. In the first place, I'm not that good at teaching people myself. Basically, if you take on your training, you'll have a lot of mock battles with Rodos. If you don't mind, I'll accept it."
"Really!"

　Almost reflexively, one of the three people who asks for Ray's training raises his head.
　There was definitely a look of joy on his face, a smile to be described as full of joy.

"Thank you, I was going to take part in a competition to test my skills, but if I could train a man like you, it would have been worth it." Then I'll train you right away..."
"Luzzi, we're still eating," And you haven't even introduced yourself yet. I'm too panicked."

　The woman behind the man, with her hair cut short, tells the man called Luzzi.
　A man with a cane nods in agreement with a woman, the last one, who is about the same age as Ray or a little older.

"Yes, there's nothing to panic about. It's impossible to win a competition unless you're always calm, and above all, you may fail in your requests."

　Ruzzi probably couldn't make excuses when the other two followed. scratch the back of one's head and open one's mouth to disguise one's embarrassment.

"Well, it was certainly a lot of haste. Training can be done after a meal. In the meantime, I'd like to introduce myself, would that be all right?"
"... well, do it,"

　the curious gaze of the other guests around one, or the memorable gaze of one who once did something similar.
　Of course, since this was the Vestian Empire, there was a certain point of view towards Ray and Dusker, but it was also true that it was much less than when we first stayed at the inn.
　Of course, Dusker and Elk were the ones who welcomed the matter very much.
　Looking away from them, Ray moves to another nearby table with the leftover food.

"Well, let me introduce myself first. Please tell me your name and your favorite weapons and role at the party."

　Encouraging but not stopping eating soup and bread.
　Vegetable soup is a time-consuming process of stewing meat and vegetables for a long time and adding extra vegetables and meats again when the vegetables and meats have melted or melted.
　It demonstrates how much time and effort the thick soup takes, despite its lack of flour.
　Black bread is commonly eaten in the Empire, but it is very soft, unlike the general impression of black bread.
　Especially, the sourness and soup peculiar to black bread go very well together, making you want to eat it forever.
　It was such a high-class inn that no lower-class aristocrat could stay, and the cook was very skilled, and it was one of the best dishes Ray had ever eaten.
　Needless to say, Ray wouldn't stock such dishes, and he asked the chef to cook them in a huge pot, but they were stored in the mistling.
　The first person to speak in front of Ray, who was eating such a dish, was naturally Luzzi, who had asked him to train him.

"I'm Luzzi. I'm armed with this claymore. I'm the leader of the furyu tusks at this party."

　Age ranges from late teens to early twenties. I suppose he's about the same age as Rodos.
　Equipped with a metal halfplate, the body is packed with muscles that can be seen to be trained.
　Behind it is a figure of Claymore, as Luzzi said, larger than normal.(Typical Power Fighter)

　After nodding to Luzzi's words, Ray then turns to the woman.

"I am Vaicul," As you can see, his weapons are two-sword dagger style, and he is good at fighting with speed. He's also a thief at this party."

　Veicul, taking a dagger out of the scabbard at each side of his waist.
　Rotate it in your hand and return it to the sheath.
　Just by looking at the sequence of movements, it was clear that he was accustomed to handling daggers.
　As you can see from what I said to Luzzi, he seems to have a very strong personality.
　Ray turns his eyes to the last man.

"I'm the last one," I'm the worst. As you will find out by looking at this cane, I am working as a wizard. My favorite attributes are wind and water. I think I'm the most calm person at this party."

　Holding a cane about a meter long, a boy his age tells him so with little change in his expression.
　As I said, I guess he's got a lot of coolness.
　In Ray's eyes, too, the robe he was wearing proved to be quite a luxury.

(Wizard's robe and luxury goods) Maybe it's some kind of magic item.)

　Regardless of being an adventurer-like wizard, Ray decides that he is unlikely to be an adventurer because he is still the sort of wizard who has served as a bodyguard, patron, or even pays for himself.
　The three men's fighting methods and roles were well balanced and could be said to be ideal.
　For Luzzi, who plays the avant-garde role, Maast uses magic in the avant-garde role. The thief Vaicur will be able to follow them on the fly.

"Well, it's a well-balanced party,"
"Oh, yes,"

　Luzzi laughs proudly at Ray's verbal compliments.
　The expression was also a testament to his confidence in the tusks of a party dragon.
　But that smile also disappears with words that come out of Ray's mouth.

"But when we all go to the competition together, there are a lot of problems."
"Oh! If you think you complimented me, that's it!"
"Calm down, Luzzi," What crimson says is true. At any rate, I, who lacks the weight of a blow, and Morst, who needs chanting to invoke magic in order to be a wizard. Regardless of whether they are preliminaries, it's true that it's difficult to win the final tournament if you say you have to play head-on-head."
"Well, in general, I'm a pure wizard, so it's a disadvantage to have to fight alone."

　Regardless of the leader Luzzi, Ray is deeply impressed to learn that the other two understand their situation unexpectedly.
　Then, while he was deeply impressed, he suddenly said something he was concerned about.

"Well, you've been tempted to ask me to train you." Even so, there is a lot of notoriety in the Westian Empire."
"Notorious? Oh, you mean war. It's true that there are a lot of people who care about that, but there's no point in blaming them for killing or killing them in the war. Most of the time, it was this who started that war."
"And it's a big part of the fact that none of us were involved in the war."

　Just wondering what Luzzi is talking about, Vaicul explains to capture it.
　Morst shrugged his shoulders and agreed with them in silence.

(I see. Maybe it's because they haven't been harmed, but are they also very professional?)

　Convinced, Ray opens his mouth.

"I understand what you mean. Then I'm going to train you soon, so I'll have you go out with me. Oh, and I'm fine with Ray. crimson is too exaggerated in many things like that."
