That day Kenny was experiencing both joy and sadness.
　The reason why I'm so happy is that Ray is back in Gilm after about two months, and considering Ray's strength, I think there's no need to worry, but I'm also heading to the distant city of Gracial, so I feel relieved when I see Ray's safety directly with my own eyes.
　But Kenny stopped at the same time as he saw the other faces Ray had brought along.
　First of all, a man who looks older than Ray. There's nothing wrong with me.
　Ray prefers solo activities, but he still works with other adventurers from time to time because he knows with his own eyes.
　For Kenny, who has seen many adventurers, the wolf beast didn't seem so strong, but it's common practice for a bragging adventurer just coming to Gilm to look around.
　Next is a girl about ten years old.
　It's lovely to look at, but normally girls of this age change their facial expressions quickly, while the girl's facial expression is almost immovable.
　From his lightweight, apparently mobile equipment, I could tell that he was probably a thief.
　Even though she's still a girl, her movements show a sense of mastery.
　I feel sorry for Kenny for that, but he doesn't pretend to show it.
　An adventurer is self‐responsible and has decided to do it himself and become an adventurer.
　Still, Kenny is so concerned that he wants to send out a rescue ship immediately if something goes wrong.
　...the receptionists, other than Lenora and Kenny, were casually looking at the girl as they did their job.
　And... finally, the woman who exists next to Ray as if she were right. 　
　Kenny is fairly confident in his good looks.
　In the first place, it's only natural to be a Guild receptionist because you need to look better than the norm.
　He was also confident in his body, including the size of his chest, as he always teased Lenora.
　But the woman in front of Kenny's eyes is so beautiful that she shattered her confidence that she wears thin clothes that dancers and prostitutes wear as if to show off her bodyline.
　The best woman Kenny has ever met is Marina, who is also the guildmaster.
　She has a perfect figure as a woman, and a beautiful figure that any man would fall for if he wanted to.
　It has a slightly decadent atmosphere, which some may be concerned about, but it should be infinitely rare.
　He is also a talented former adventurer and intelligent, perhaps related to the Dark Elf tribe.
　Nevertheless, he also had the ease of speaking to his subordinates without hesitatingly.
　Kenny seems to me to be a perfect woman.
　Elena, who had never met Ray in person, had a conversation with him when she saw him in the pair of oaves he was using at the Wheat House at dusk.
　Anyone living in the Kingdom of Milliana would have heard of the nickname Princess General at least once.
　The golden hair, paired with the silvery hair of the marina, is nothing but a materialization of sunlight itself.
　She's as beautiful as a rose in a great circle as Marina.
　I didn't meet them in person, I just spoke across the ove, but I could still feel Elena's calm atmosphere.
　If marina were to be used as a nighttime, she would be such a person as to symbolize day.
　The two were the best women Kenny had ever met, but the woman next to Ray now was no better than them.
　In the eyes of Kenny, who has seen many adventurers, I don't know exactly how strong he is, but still... he wouldn't be surprised if he was told he had the power of a Rank A adventurer.
　With such a personality, Kenny naturally sees it as a new rival.
　The same sense of crisis I had last year when I met Elena, my biggest rival... or even more.
　Driven by such a sense of crisis, Kenny asks who is next to Ray.

"Huh? Oh, this is Vihela. Oh... I know him a little."
"Oh, just a little? I could have known you more deeply."
"...hehhhuh! Ray is as popular with women as ever."

　Vichela says, while Ray, the former second princess of the Vestian Empire, is wondering what to say about her, who cannot say that she is fleeing the country and living freely...
　Kenny can't be amused to hear a kind of confession that conveys a kind of course.
　Lenora, who was listening next to Kenny, also has a strong reputation for being a bad bug.

"Phew, did you make too much fun of me?" Don't worry. So far, Ray and I haven't had that kind of relationship."

　Vichela told them to calm down, but behind her words, she smelled that she would eventually have such a relationship with Ray.

"More than that, yes, yes. It's a sign to complete the request."

　It was presented with a sign of evidence that the request for escort had been completed.
　It was a gift received from the merchants.

"...just a moment, please."

　Now that the paper has been handed out, Lenora has no choice but to prioritize her work.
　The act of putting off work in favor of personal feelings could not have depended on Lenora's pride as a receptionist.
　Except for Kenny, who had finished organizing the documents and had no urgent work to do.
　I'd like to ask her directly what she thinks of Ray, but she can't ask him such a thing and she's at a loss what to say.
　And then I was about to open my mouth.

"Oh, my sister," Let me accept this request."

　A wolf beast man who came with Ray puts his request on the counter.

"... Show me your guild card."
"Huh? Oh, look,"

　He said so, and the offer showed that the man in front of him was a Rank D adventurer.
　When Kenny checks the man's rank, he turns back the request without any questions or answers.

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept your Rank B request."
"Oh!?"
"It's no use threatening," When you sign up for the guild, you're explaining that, right? It's not like you didn't hear it, is it?"
"Well, well, that's..."

　Until now, if I were to be terrible, I would have been able to make sense of it.
　But Kenny dismisses the remark without showing any signs of fright at all.
　If you've been dealing with Gillum's adventurers for many years, you might not be surprised at all.
　At least I wasn't intimidated by anyone trying to make me look better than I could.

"What!"

　He must have thought it had humiliated him. Magita was about to yell at Kenny...

"Calm down,"

　Lay puts her hand on Magita's shoulder and quenches her anger.

"... I see," I don't think my master told me so."

　The adventurers buzz when they hear Magita's words.
　The word "master" from Magita's mouth must have been greeted with surprise.
　People here knew at least what Ray was like, so it was only unexpected that Ray would take pupils.
　Ray has been asked to train.
　But it's only for a limited time.
　If he becomes a formal disciple, he will be with Ray all the time for training...

"Wait a minute, Are you sure you've made this a disciple!?"

　Kenny's voice echoes around, as if kicking out the noise around him.
　To Kenny, the wolf beast in front of him is apparently nothing but a negative influence on Ray.
　You'll have a close feeling that you shouldn't play with bad friends.

"That's why you're not a teacher, is it?" Don't give them strange misunderstandings."

　I can't reach Magita's head... so I pat her on the back.However, that light is just a light measure of Ray's standards, and for Magita, it is equivalent to being beaten as usual.

"Hoot!"

　A glance at Magita's choking voice reopens Ray.

"No matter what you call me a master or what I do, I'm not going to train you. Generally speaking, if you work at the request of Gilm, your skills will improve even if you don't like it. Well, if I become a rank B adventurer like myself now, I may train myself sometimes."

　Many adventurers who hear the words decide that Ray has no intention of training the wolf beast called Magita.
　Rank B adventurers are undoubtedly high-ranking adventurers, and there are certainly not many high-ranking adventurers in Gillum either.
　No, there are more Rank B adventurers than in other villages, towns, cities, and so on, but it's far from a large proportion of adventurers in Gilm.
　It's only natural that there are only three of them in the world, A and S, above Rank B.
　In other words, the highest rank of adventurers is A, and B is one of the lowest.
　No one of that strength could have rolled around there.
　But... Magita opens her mouth with a serious look on her face when she hears Ray's words.

"Really? If you really become a Rank B adventurer, you'll be my teacher, right?"
"Don't get me wrong on purpose. I'm not going to be anyone's teacher, let alone teach for a short time. If you become a Rank B adventurer, I'm saying that I'll do a hand-me-down from time to time. If you are now, it's a matter before you fight me. Let's train them with guillem for a while."
"... All right,"

　Magita then returns with her request.
　Some of the adventurers around him were looking envious at Magita.
　Basically, Ray's treatment in guillem can be extreme.
　While those who are sometimes dark don't want to get involved as much as possible, others come to Ray to talk about cooking.
　Surprisingly, the reputation of children is not bad at all. ...though the majority of the reasons are in Seto.
　And not many, if not all, of them want to talk to Ray.
　Magita's envious gaze on adventurers was also in the minority.

"...well, I'm afraid I'm off the subject, but I've confirmed that I've fulfilled my request." That's the reward."
"Yes, thank you,"

　Seeing Vihela receiving a bag of rewards, Ray asks her questions as late as possible.

"Come to think of it, what's the rank of Vihela?"
"It's C,"
"It's not as expensive as I thought,"

　Given Vihela's fighting power, it stinks that it's more than the rank B Ray mentioned earlier, but Vihela shrugs her shoulders with a small smile.
　At that time, when Lenora saw the rich Ssangoka shake, there was a momentary sharp light in his gaze, but Vihela spoke without any particular concern.

"Egzil would only dive into the dungeon. I didn't do things like receive requests or anything like that, so it was really hard for me to raise my rank."
"Exceptions?"

　Ray looks satisfied with Vihela's words, though he believes the exception is probably a request to subdue her.
　It was because I could understand without thinking, considering Vihela's personality.

"Well, now that I have finished my request for escort... I wonder what to do." I have a place to go, and Bune will come, too.
"Yes!"

　Vichela caresses Bune on the head with a small smile as she nods her way.

"It might be boring for me, but it would be comfortable for me to have Bune."
"No, it's a boring story..."

　Speaking with Langa, Ray has some idea of where Vichela is heading, and tells her that she is going to meet the lord, but Vichela is a member of the royal family of the Westian Empire, albeit originally.
　Therefore, it is understandable that it is not something to be particularly nervous about meeting nobles in the position of a frontier count.

"Where is Ray staying?"
"It's the Wheat-tei at dusk," It's a good inn with delicious food."
"Then I and Bune are going to stay there too, so can you reserve a room for me?" -- I think it will be a long time."
"Oh, I see," It's a famous place, so as soon as you ask someone... I'll tell you, don't cause too much trouble. Will I follow you any more?"

　Vihela's clothes showed that without Ray and Seto, she would certainly be involved in a disturbance.
　But Vihela shakes her head at it.

"Anyhow you don't like a disturbance, you'd better get it over as soon as possible. Oh, if you don't mind my sharing a room with Ray?"

　Vichela tells him so and leaves the guild with Bune after a seductive glance at Ray.

"Ah,"

　Watching them back, Ray wondered if Vihela knew where the lord's mansion was.
　...a few seconds later, Ray notices the presence of Kenny and Lenora, who seem to be in a bad mood right around him.
