"Hi, Ray," It's been a long time."

　Reyes and his party arrived at Gillum... they were the guards of the merchants, so they might be called the merchant party, but it was only natural that they welcomed the party.
　What surprised Ray the most was that some of the characters were familiar to him.
　A strong face and a large build will make you run away as soon as a weak opponent encounters you at night.
　However, it was safe to say that his appearance and character did not match, or that his voice was calm.

(He has a gentle personality...it's not strange to imagine a bear in the forest, is it? Well, the bears in this world turn into monsters, and I can't say they're nice, though.) Well, if you say that, Japanese bears are the same.)

　I wonder if Ray's first encounter in this world is influenced by the water bear of the Rank C monster, but suddenly he starts looking at Langa and talking.

"Is this all right with the Earl of Eriel?"

　The reason why Ray had to leave Gillum to teach at the Military Academy at Graciale... was the result of a duel with the Earl of Eriel's heir, Keep.
　From there, things progress in a semi-chain reaction, resulting in a larger situation until the royalists' discipline is tightened.
　Meanwhile, Langa was on his way to the Earl of Eriel's territory to seize the wealth the Earl of Eriel's family had put in the duel.
　Langa left for the winter, but by this time of the spring she had apparently returned properly.
　But it's only natural. As you can see from the two merchants Ray was escorting this time, many people come to Gillum in spring to buy goods.
　Because of the peculiarity of the frontier, there are many things available only here in the kingdom of Mileana. ...no, if you look around the world, there are many materials and items that are unique to the region.
　That is why merchants come all the way from other countries as well as from within the kingdom of Milliana.
　It's also from the Westian Empire, which has long been hostile to the kingdom of Milliana.
　At this time of year when so many of those people come in, the job of a guard naturally reaches its peak.
　At the end of autumn... it was at this time of year that guards were busy, just as they were just before it snowed.
　It's impossible that Langa, the head of the security force, is not here at this time of year.
　This is because, as is the case with interesting things, there are many things that can only be judged by Langa.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Yes, I'll manage it over there. ... Ray, she's..."

　Langa, turning her gaze toward Vihela and muddling her words.
　Neutrality and aristocracy in the kingdom of Milliana were also heavily involved in the civil war that broke out in the Vestian Empire last fall.
　Dusker also had the hallmarks of a leading figure in the Vestian Empire in the matter, including, of course, Vihela's information.
　She has a strikingly flashy face, wearing light clothing like a prostitute or dancer, and the insteps of her hands and feet.
　With such a characteristic person, Ranga, who had been hearing from Dusker, could not be mistaken even if he didn't know exactly how he looked.
　In addition, there is information that the person has a deep affection for Ray, which confirms the rumor in terms of being with him.
　Ranga probably understood that Ranga had a clue about Vihela's identity. give a small nod

"...I'd like you to see Mr. Dusker once, if possible." What do you think?"
"Well, what are you going to do?"

　Ray turns to Vihela at the words, which are closer to entreaty than request.
　The two merchants and magitas didn't know what Langa was saying, and Seto was happily chanting at the other guards' hands for the dried meat.
　Vichela glances at the surroundings and finally turns to Ray and nods back.

"It can't be helped," Whatever you might do, you would have to meet the lord of Gilm. OK. Can I just go to the guild and finish reporting my request?"
"Of course it doesn't matter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Yes, thank you,"

　Speak briefly, get through the process of getting into the city quickly, and you'll get through the gate.
　At that time, the guard guard who was on Seto's side looked disappointed, but when he saw some of them lined up behind Rey, he seemed to be unable to understand why, so he gave up immediately.
　and went into the guillem."

"Oh, it's different from Subursta... Abuero wasn't so different from Subursta."

　Magita murmured, looking around Gilm.
　Compared to Subursta and Abuero, the number of people going and going around the city was high, and above all, the energy was different.
　Because it is a frontier, its life is clearly lively compared to other towns.
　Most of them are adventurers, after all.
　It was a unique sight of Gilm that you could always see an adventurer wherever you turn.
　A similar scene can be seen in a labyrinthine city like Egzil, but Magita has no idea of a labyrinthine city she has never been to.

"Here we go," The first is the guild."

　Ray calls out to Maggita, who is watching the surroundings with a watchful eye.
　Magita looks displeased at the words.

"I don't have to go to the guild," I wasn't asked to do it."
"Leaving you alone will cause you trouble." If you do that while you're with me, I'll be with me. And..."

　Hold your tongue, attract Magita's attention, and then speak again.

"There are many stronger men in the guild than you,"
"Here we go."

　Immediately making a decision... No, Rey turns to Vihela and Bune with a wry smile at Magita, who has told her like a spinal reflex.
　There were two people getting a sign from a merchant that the request had been completed.

"Master, let's hurry up and go to the guild,"

　I wonder if Ray has moved a little further to see Magita's appearance, which did not appear to have been reluctant until recently.
　It is true that there are more skilled adventurers in the guild than Magita.
　But now it's daytime.
　Many adventurers have been asked to do so, and those in the guild right now, like the Vihelas, or Ray, who hates crowds and is looking for a request at an empty time.
　Or are they drinking at a bar on holiday?
　At any rate, it's more likely that no adventurer will be as Magita expects.

(Did you stir it up too much?)

　Thinking he might have done too much, Ray looks at the two merchants approaching him.

"Mr. Ray, I'm glad you're here this time. If possible, I'd like to meet you again at your request...
"Well, if I have the chance, I'll accept your request."
"... This time I'm saved."

　The abrupt merchant reaches out in the same manner as always.
　Holding back the hand, the two merchants leave with a carriage, perhaps satisfied with it.
　After all, the horse, who had never completely gotten used to Seto until the end, seemed to feel at ease at last, pulling a carriage in good humour.
　Seeing the carriage disappear into the crowd, only Ray, Vichela, Bune and Magita and Seto are here.

(Well, it would be more correct to use four and one than just four and one.)

　Purely speaking, it is safe to say that this group has a fierce fighting power when there are forces like Ray, Sett and Vihela.
　However, spring has come, and the number of new adventurers coming to Gilm will increase...

"Oh, isn't that a great woman, and clothes on that body?" How much?"
"Hey, you've just come to Gilmoo, and now you're a woman..."

　Two adventurers pass by and talk to each other at the sight of Vihela.One adventurer, in particular, is captivated by its beauty, fascinated by its beauty, and even captivated by its thoughts.
　My partner looks at Vihela with a passionate stare, and he says with a wry smile that the adventurer who first found Vihela can't help it.
　Vichela is so attractive that she thinks so, that she wears light clothing that only seems to attract men like dancers and prostitutes.
　The unfortunate thing for the men was that their consciousness was completely anchored in Vihela.
　It wasn't just the man who fell in love with Vihela in an instant at first sight, but so was the man who first found her.
　That's how attractive Vihela is to the man's gaze, but if the men were a little more careful, they would have noticed Seto eating sandwiches from nearby passersby, rather than Rey by Vichela's side.
　Then you might have found out that there was an adventurer nearby who called Seto crimson when he was accompanied by a glyphon.





"Oh, hey, aren't they going to poke their nose into Ray?"
"Huh? Who would do such a foolish thing... oh, I see. They said they came to Gilmoo recently."
"Why don't you stop it? It's about Ray, and I think he's going to fight back if he makes a strange move?"
"Well, wait a minute. I'll tell you a little."

　When three other adventurers return after completing their request, they see a group of people, including Ray, approaching them, and one of them runs in a panic.
　If the adventurer didn't like him, he might have left him alone, but when he spoke in the guild, he was a little confident but friendly, so he couldn't leave him alone.

"My dear fellow," Stop meddling with her."

　The two adventurers, who were suddenly told such words, cast displeased glances toward the voice.
　But as soon as he found out that he was a senior adventurer who had spoken to him several times in the guild, his expression disappeared.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden.

　Senior adventurers sigh when they hear words like they don't understand what they're saying.

"The man you've been trying to poke at is dangerous in many ways. If you want to be an adventurer in this guillem for a long time, don't be hostile to him."
"...is she such a great woman?"
"She's as good a woman as I've ever seen, but she's not such a great woman..."
"No,"

　Senior adventurers immediately deny the two fundamentally misunderstood words.

"It's not the woman I'm telling you not to meddle in. Well, as far as I can see, she's attractive. That's enough for me to stay with you for days, let alone nights. But I'm not talking about women, but men in robes."
"... a man?"
"That little fellow?"
"Yes. It looks... no, it's hard to tell because you're wearing a hood, but underneath that hood you don't think you're a man." However, the only thing that is beautiful is the appearance, and the contents are rather shabby. If you want to live in Guillem, don't try to poke your nose into him."
"It doesn't look so strong,"

　One of the two adventurers muttered disconcertingly, but the older adventurer breathed a sigh of amazement and looked a little further away from Ray and Vihela.For some reason he turned to the Gryphon, who was eating his sandwich, caressed by a girl of about ten.

"Look at that. Look carefully. Be careful not to forget it."

　The two adventurers, who have been repeatedly told, are at last aware of their existence... of the Gryphon set.

"What!? Gu, Gryphon!"
"Well, why are you here... wait, wait, wait, wait. Gryphon? If I say Gryphon, I'm sure...

　A senior adventurer gives a quick answer to the adventurer, who is trying to remember if he has finally come up with something.

"Yes, he's a Rank B adventurer, a crimson who's already known and was active in last spring's war. His real name is Ray."
"Crimson..."
"That kid is crimson..."

　The two adventurers looked at the senior adventurer, if you're joking, but they only return with serious eyes.
　Thus, the two adventurers, unable to speak to Vihela, are stunned to see the party off.
