As soon as they hear the voice, all the guild staff inside the counter...not to mention the few adventurers who were looking at the request, turn to the Lord of the voice.
　behavior due to an understanding of who the voice is
　brown skin and silver hair a man‐attracting men's beauty
　Nevertheless, covering the man-loving body is a party dress with a wide chest, with a slight fleshy thigh from a deeply slitted area.
　A man...or a woman of such beauty that she could have lost her charms, yet she still had a light of intelligence in her eyes.
　If you look for the kingdom of Milliana, you'll find many beautiful women just outside.
　But few women have both intelligence and beauty.
　The few woman was this person, and her pointed ears and brown skin proved that she was a dark elf.

"Guildmaster".

　Kenny mutters the person's office.
　Marina Ariantha He is the guildmaster of the guild of guilds, the adventurers of guilds on the frontier of the kingdom of Milliana.

"I'm sorry, Kenny, but can you let them into my room? I'll listen to it."
"... All right,"

　Kenny had a lot to say, but she couldn't resist being told this by Marina, the guildmaster.
　A little smile at Kenny's appearance, Marina calls out to Marka again.

"Then shall we talk in my room?"
"Well, that would save my mistress."

　Marca, Coan and Ray agree and walk into the counter.

Lenora, please give me some tea. And you can eat as much snack as Ray eats."
"Yes,"
"I'm sorry. Shall we go?"

　Thus the three are led to the office by Marina.





"Sit down,"

　Marina sits on the sofa and calls out to the Markas.

"Well, ... is your lord Marina?" I could not see him when I came before, and I had only heard of him by word of mouth, but he seemed to have been more gentle."
"Huh, if you say so, so are you, a gifted girl who manipulates the three attributes of wind, earth and light, who represents the magic of the next generation of the kingdom of Mileana. Your name is famous among the adventurers."
"The mistress is still immature. I can't beat Ray as proof."
"...I don't think there are many who can beat Ray in the first place." and if there were any such men, it would be that the kingdom of Milliana was unilaterally trampling on the Empire of Bestia."

　Smiling at each other and praising each other.
　After a few minutes of conversation, Lenora comes to the room with snacks like tea and sandwiches.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave me there.
"Yes. Um... don't I have to fill out the nomination papers yet?"
"Yes. I'll do it over here, so don't worry."
"Well, then, excuse me."

　With a bow, Lenora walks out of her office.
　At the time, he looked anxiously at Ray, but nevertheless he didn't say anything in particular.
　And when Lenora disappears from the room, Marina crosses her legs with a cup of tea on the table.
　The brown fleshy thighs catch Ray and Coan's eye, but neither of them turn their attention to them.
　Marina opens her mouth to Marka, perhaps not too bad.

"Well, I have a lot of information on this subject of the King's faction." You don't want Ray involved in the matter, do you think, because you want him to be a military school instructor?"
"Well, he's the guildmaster of Guillum. He is quick of hearing."

　Marca muttered admiringly, but Marina shook her head with a smile.

"In the first place, the case of the Earl of Eriel is famous for its guillem. and many things."
"...I see,"

　You must have understood the implications of the various words. Marka gently diverts her gaze.
　How much has his faction, the royal faction, done in this city? His attitude was due to his knowledge of it.

(However, it was because of all these circumstances that he took action to improve his father.)

　Still, it is not welcome for Marka that the royalists feel ashamed of themselves in Gilm.
　It makes it difficult to gather information on neutral movements, obtain materials for rare monsters due to the frontier, recruit strong adventurers from the frontier, and do all the other work of the King's faction in guillem.
　Fortunately, not many children like Marka take such an attitude, and as long as there is someone like Coan, you can't be careless.
　But it was true that the other royalists in Gilm were ashamed.

"Well, then," As a concubine, I'd like to welcome Ray to the military academy as an instructor this winter alone. take care of oneself in the meantime What do you think? Wouldn't it be better to do that than to cause a strange stir in Gilm?"
"That's undeniable," I can say that I cannot do strange things with guillem."

　Marina placed her cup of tea on the table and had melancholy eyes.
　Ray understood why he hesitated.
　At present, Langa, who is in charge of Gilm's security, is absent as he heads to the Earl of Eriel.
　Of course, as long as the guards are not incompetent, it's not that easy to make a fuss around the city, but it's true that the guards are moving a little bit -- compared to when Langa was there.

"Well, then, there's no problem?"
"No, you have a lot of problems, don't you think, in the first place, if you were to teach at the Military Academy in Gracial during the winter, you wouldn't be able to leave Gilm today and arrive tomorrow?" It should take about twenty days at most, though, considering that it is now wintering and snowing, I think it will take at least a month."

　There Marina pauses and looks to her office window.
　It was snowing outside the window.
　The snow is clearly getting stronger than when the Reys came to the guild.

"Even if you take that long to get to Gracial and then teach... you don't have much time, do you think? That's a month... about two months at most." Do you think the cadet will learn anything from Ray in that amount of time? Well, I think it's hard for him to teach people he's never met before."
"Don't worry about that,"

　Marka responds squarely to Marina's words.
　The attitude was probably surprising to Marina, too. turn one's gaze at someone for an answer

"As the guildmaster said, it usually takes about twenty days to get to Gracial. But what if that wasn't normal? A carriage was created as a magic item, and it was not a horse, but a tamed monster. In fact, it took ten days for my mistress to come from Gracial to Gilm, too, through the snow."That little breast-stretch Marka.
　You may be bragging about it, but from the side the scene only looks like a child bluffing.
　Coan, standing behind Marka, probably understands it. He looks a little troubled, unusual, and hesitates about whether to interrupt or not.
　But Marka continues, leaving Coan like that.

"And then," When it comes to the crunch, we can put Ray on a set and send him to Gracial first."
"Well, how about that?"

　Ray thrusts in without thinking.

"Huh? Anything to complain about? If you're a set flying in the sky, you can ignore the winding road and cross the mountain." I'm sure it'll be quicker than going by cab with my mistress."
"Is it cold above the sky? And now it's winter. That's the very thing you're going to be it."

　It was Marina telling him so, but Ray shook his head at it.

"There's no problem there. This dragon lobe has the ability to keep the temperature constant, and I'm not vulnerable to cold."

　It's the body that the zepiles originated in the first place. And with dragon robes, it's not difficult to spend time normally in the snowy mountains in the middle of winter.
　The Gryphon set was not too cold to be weak, nor was it a problem in terms of coldness.

"And what's the problem?"
"First of all, I'm the town of Gracial? No, if it's the home of the Duke of Quent, is it a city? Anyway, if you can trust me there." It's only me and Seto, so they're sure to be suspicious."
"That would be no problem if the mistress wrote a letter." Ray is the only adventurer with a Gryphon in the first place, and it would be difficult to imitate him to switch to Ray."
"...whether the gatekeeper understands Marka's handwriting or not, it seems to work." The other question is whether I can get to where I'm going for the first time. I wish I could take a shortcut, as I said, off the highway."

　muddle one's words
　With maps, it's not difficult to move along the highway.
　However, if you go through a place like a mountain where there are no highways or anything else, you really need something like a sense of the place.
　It's not difficult to ask hunters and adventurers outside the city or village, unless this is winter.
　But unfortunately it's winter now, and few people go out.
　When asked if he could get to his destination safely, Ray had to lean his head.
　Especially in Ray's case, he often makes an unintended stopover in order to get rid of thieves.
　But if you ask me if I can go to a city I've never been to before without a map...

"Perhaps not," Unless it's a map, you can fly along the road on a set."
"Yes,"

　In Rey's words, Marka simply says so.

"Do you?"

　Maps are very rare things, almost confidential.
　That being the case, it would be no use if Ray doubted Marka's words.

"Yes. I was going to have Ray take the lead with Seto if possible. That being the case, I think we need a map. It was given to me by my father!"

　Marka brags again, "It's amazing, isn't she?

"That is to say, with the knowledge of the Duke of Quent, and the map of the Duke of Quent?"
"Well, that's how much my father takes this matter seriously. Of course, if you steal this map, show it to someone, let alone sell it, you will take appropriate action. ... Corean."
"Yes,"

　At Marka's words, Coan pulls a folded map out of his pocket.
　But it still hasn't passed to Ray.

"This map will be given to Ray only after he is properly requested. It will be all right, but if Ray misuses it, she will be in a very difficult situation, so please be careful."
"... I suppose,"

　Marina nods to Coan's words.
　A detailed map of one's territory carries that weight.
　I don't know it without knowing it... but I lend it to people who are not related to my family.
　It was only natural for Marina that the Duke of Quent would take a firm stand against Ray if he misused the map.
　That's the way to build an army, knowing there's no chance of winning even if you fight head-on.
　Leave the map with Ray with that determination.
　It's not that there's trust in Ray... but more trust in Marka's eyes.

"So that's all right, isn't it, that Ray will accept the request of his mistress?"
"If that's all right with Ray, I have no complaints." What do you think?"
"No problem. The pay is attractive."
"...reward? I don't think Ray's in need of money, so..."

　After a few seconds of thinking about Ray's verbal reward, he probably immediately remembered Ray's hobby.
　I used that method when I asked Ray for an unreasonable request.

"Magic items as a reward?"
"Huh? I'm sorry, but it's out of the way." The answer is flame ore."
"Flame ore? ... Oh, I see."

　The reason why Ray won the nickname crimson.
　a tornado of flame that is also Ray's back hand
　Marina can quickly understand what will happen with flame ore in the flame tornado.

(It's not as bad as hell.)

　Marina was a little worried, but she is still well-formed as a nomination request, and I am convinced that Ray is satisfied with the request.

"Well, Ray is good, isn't he?"
"Oh, it'll be over by spring, won't it?"

　Marka nods back to Ray, who looks confirmingly.

"Well, there's no problem with that's all right. I can't afford to spend my father's time, either. ...but, Lord, I'm curious about spring. Is there anything?""Oh, I have a lot to do in spring."

　Passing Ray's mind was the sight of Elena coming to see him to lift the Seed of Commandment and Vichela coming from Egzil.
