When Ray entered the guild, it was almost evening, and there were many adventurers there.
　They are the ones who have done their job, and the ones who have brought down monsters and turned them into gold.
　It's not quite evening yet, though, so I haven't been here as often as it's past evening.
　Many of the adventurers who have been paid to go to the bar, which has been attached to it, are far more numerous than in the daytime.
　If Ray were to be found in such a crowd, he would naturally be buried.
　Not many people recognize Ray as Ray if they are not tall in the first place and wear the hood of a dragon lobe hood.
　Langa had told me that if this had already led the ex-combatant to Gilm, he would have been a little pushy in front of familiar receptionists such as Lenora and Kenny, but fortunately he was the first to come to Gilm.

(This crowd... that's why I don't want to come to the guild in the evening or in the morning.)

　As he lined up for the receptionist, Ray let out a deep sigh.
　The adventurers around him look at Ray in wonder.
　It's because it looks small and delicate, and it doesn't look like a solo adventurer.
　Some wondered if someone had pushed Ray out of trouble waiting in line, but no one had said it.
　It's bad manners to interfere in other party matters.
　It would be a different story if there was a cruelty, but just seeing them lined up is not particularly harsh.
　If I had put my hood down, I would have recognized Ray, but I didn't feel like doing that in this crowd.
　Ray looks around him, never expecting to be looked at like that.
　There was nothing we could do about the large number of people, so we tried to kill time until it was our turn.
　As Ray looks around him, he suddenly realizes that the lengths of the many queues are different.

(Why?)

　Ray wondered, but the question was solved quickly.
　That's because I heard the adventurer in the line next to Ray.

"I'll invite Kenny to-night's dinner."
"I'm just telling you to give up. Kenny can't ask me out to eat so easily, let alone before. Before that, inviting people out to eat in such a long queue would be a nuisance to other people. It will only make Kenny look bad."
"Well, what do you want me to do then?"
"Wouldn't it bother you if the receptionist invited you when you weren't busy?"
"No, because during the day we're out at the request of others."
"That's when I'm on holiday and I don't have any requests."

　The adventurer opens his eyes to see if the remark was so surprising.

"I see. You don't have to look for a particular request to come to the guild."
"No, that's too late, isn't it said. I often come to bars."

　From the conversation he heard, Ray could understand that the length of the procession in front of the receptionist was indicative of her popularity.
　Of course, the longer the line, the more popular it is….
　Even if the procession is long, the processing of reporting and cash conversion will not be as long as it is so quickly.
　When you think about the popularity of Lenora and Kenny, you'll eventually get in line and it's Ray's turn.

"...what? Mr. Ray?"

　Lenora, who recognizes that the person who appears before her is Ray she knows, immediately returns to her attitude as a receptionist.

"That's correct. I thought you might notice it."

　With a smile on his head, he saw Ray's face, of course.
　The people lining up right behind Ray and the adventurers who went through various procedures at the next counter look surprised.
　...and of course Kenny at the counter next to Lenora.

"We've known each other for quite a long time." So what's the matter? I think I went to the forest about Cyclops."
"Oh, that's all right. However, there were other cyclops than the five reported before we arrived, and the Mireine sent a man to Gillum to deal with them. I wanted to let you know that I don't need it anymore..."

　Rey's words make Lenora reach for a nearby document.
　That's what I'm doing with the feeling that someone might have handled the matter.
　Originally, there were reports from Diet that cyclops, who were supposed to act independently, were acting together, and there were a lot of strange things about this case.
　That's why another receptionist may have received the report... that's what Ray did, but he puts a stop to Lenora.

"Don't worry," I got confirmation from Langa as I entered Gilm. It seems that the person who came to report on the matter has not yet arrived in Gilm. It's all different."
"I see. ... Yes, apparently so." I don't think there's anything in the report I've received yet."

　Just to make sure, Lenora breathes a sigh of relief through the important business report.

"That's why I was standing in line like this quietly."
"Why don't you stand in my line, Ray?"

　Kenny, who was playing with other adventurers next to Lenora, calls out to Ray.
　The reason why they still don't talk to me as usual is probably because so many adventurers are still lining up in front of them.
　It's only natural for a receptionist to work properly without running wild despite Ray's presence, but Lenora secretly thinks about herself, "Kenny is finally serious!"
　The chest, the chest, the chest, the chest...

"Oh my gosh! Just a little Lenora." Why are you staring at me so hard?"

　Kenny is neither a receptionist nor an adventurer, but I don't know if it's a wild intuition because he's a cat beast, or if it's just a woman's intuition, but I can feel something murderous from Lenora.
　Ray also looked surprised to see a sudden change in Lenora's appearance.

"Oh, my God? I'm sorry, Kenny. When I think of what I've been up until now, naturally..."
"I'm not misled, I'm not misled,"

　Kenny said so involuntarily, but he had to deal with the adventurer and couldn't say anything more.
　And as Kenny returns to his job, Ray opens his mouth to Lenora, reassigning himself.

"And about the Cyclops, there's something I'm curious about."
"What are you curious about? What kind of..."
"There was a red cyclops who seemed to have led the ordinary cyclops. I think this is probably a rare species or a high-ranking species.
"Is it a rare or superior species of cyclops. That's certainly troubling, isn't it? But of course, Ray's fight brought him down, for it is rare to see a magical stone of a rare species."

　Lenora doesn't look particularly grave, perhaps because she remembered Ray's hobby of collecting magical stones.
　Ray was surprised to learn that he had a hobby of collecting magical stones in order to secure magical stones for consumption in the art of the beast.

"Oh, no. Yes. I was going to do that, but the cyclops actually had a strange magic hammer."
"... Cyclops, magic items?"

　It must have been quite surprising. Lenora repeats after a moment of silence.Adventurers lining up behind Ray, adventurers handing Kenny the papers for completion of his request, and so on, are casually listening to Ray's words and, apart from expressing themselves, are surprised.
　Cyclops are monsters specializing in physical attack methods, and even if they are the only magic that can be used, they can be released as shock waves from a single eye.
　Nevertheless, it was unbelievable to master magic items.

"Above all, the red cyclops were much larger than the regular cyclops. And the magic item was just right for the big cyclops to use. The ordinary sword was too small for the cyclops to use, but I felt something a little contrived about it."
"Well, if you think about it normally, cyclops can't prepare magic items that are easy to use for rare or superior cyclops. If that's the case, it bothers me that it's as artificial as Ray thought."

　Lenora mutters as if she were satisfied with Ray's words.

"Right? I thought it would be better to report it. I brought those magic items. What do you do? If you want to see them, you can take them out."

　Where is the magic item? It doesn't come out of Lenora's mouth.
　Naturally, it is because Ray knows that he has an item box.

"Can you do it for me? Guild staff members might know what it is."
"I don't mind that, but it's too small here, because I had a red cyclops, it's pretty big and heavy. That's enough to cause damage to the floor if you take it carelessly here. Oh, and this magic item was held by the red cyclops I knocked down, so you mean me, right? I'm a little worried if I have to submit it to the guild."
"Using magic items that you don't know who made them... No, that was normal."

　Lenora's troubled words make most of the adventurers there nod.
　Of course, it is true that it is best to use magic items that are well known to have been made by alchemists, but magic items are basically expensive.
　It's a different story if it's an ordinary long sword with a little magical power, but if it's an appropriate sword, it's expensive.
　That's why even if the origin of magic items is unknown, the person who gets them often takes them as his or her own with his or her own.
　...may be cursed.
　Also, the magic items you get in the dungeon will be the best thing you don't know who created them.
　Still, for those who find magic items, it's an opportunity to make a fortune at once, and they take it as a matter of course.

"Well, and I'm not just going to use it."
"Yes, sir. It's a magic item that's just the right size for Cyclops to use, so it's impossible for Ray to use it..."
"No, I think I can use it if I want, but I don't want to use it that much. I've never used a hammer in the first place. Then you'd better make good use of it, wouldn't you?"
"Effective use? Well, if you like, can you let me know?"

　Trying to nod to Lenora's words, I find myself attracting the attention of the people around me.
　On the contrary, the guild, which would normally be extremely lively, is silent.
　The bar was still buzzing, so it wasn't complete silence, but most of the guilds... even guild workers on the counter were paying attention to Ray's words.
　In this situation, if you talk about how you intend to use magic items, you will find that many people will aim for the end, and for the time being, shrug your shoulders to mislead the story.

"I'll keep it a secret," However, if things go well, there may be a lot of interesting. whether we can do it or not."

　Create another magic item using the existing magic item as part of the ingredients.
　It seemed quite unreasonable to put it in the ordinary course, but if you were to say so, it would have been the same to turn the sword of noise into a spear.
　However, in the case of the hammer this time, the degree of difficulty may be high in terms of combining it with the magic sword.

(Also, if only a part of that hammer can be used as a material for magic items, it should be possible to make quite a few magic items.)

　a hammer of almost 5 meters in height that is not small enough to hold in one's hand
　Ray hoped that its mass would be considerable, and that it would be effective enough to make spears by shaving some parts of it.

"... I see. However, I would like you to show me the hammer, so that's right. Can you come over to the Guild's warehouse for a moment, and I think we can evaluate it without being exposed to the public?Oh, of course, if you like Ray."

　Lenora's words make Ray nod easily.
　Even if you're going to use it as an ingredient for magic items, you'll have to look into whether there's any problem with that hammer.
　If they were to do it on the guild's side, it would have been a wish and a fulfillment.
