"Rolling".

　Seto purges and looks toward the stall.
　Following Seto's gaze, Ray looked a little surprised at the stall.
　The stall sells cold, cold fruit water.
　At this time of year, when the temperature is gradually rising and it's getting hot, some people may want to have a cold drink during the day.
　But Ray was not surprised because he was selling fruit water.
　It was because they were selling cold fruit water.
　Naturally, at this time of year when the temperature is warm, it is not cold to produce fruit water, so it is better to describe it as warm.
　In the meantime, the stalls right in front of Ray are selling cold fruit water. 　
　The reason for this is the magic item that comes with the stall.
　It was a little different from what Ray found when he was strolling around the guillem before, but since there were many similarities, he immediately decided that it was a magic item that generated cold air.
　Ray was interested in explaining about the magic item, thinking that it could be used as a refrigerator or air conditioner, but I didn't buy it because it was not fuel efficient enough to require both quality and quantity of magical stones and, above all, I didn't need air conditioners if I wore dragon robes, and if I had mistiling, I didn't need a refrigerator...

"You've bought this magic item well."

　After ordering fruit water, Ray calls out to the stall owner.
　The man who smiled at Ray's words and opened his mouth was so muscular that at first glance he could not be seen by the owner of the stall.
　The height would be much taller than Ray, well over two meters.
　The stalls were by no means small, but they looked like toys when men stood together.
　Still, his face is not strong, but he even has a gentle atmosphere.
　If he had a strong face for this size, he would not have been able to manage a stall.
　Yes, like Pamidor, who has a caring personality but loses money with a vicious face.

"Hahaha. This stall is like a hobby."
"...that's why I was able to buy so many magic items."
"Well, I look like you and I'm a rank B adventurer, so I earn a lot of money."

　It's no surprise that I recognized myself as a Rank B adventurer right away.
　Seeing Seto drinking fruit water in a deep dish specially prepared next to Ray, people living in Guillum can recognize Ray as Ray immediately.
　But unlike such a partner, Ray doesn't recognize a man.
　There are so many adventurers in Gilm that Ray doesn't know his face.
　Besides, Ray himself is not very good at socializing, so he doesn't have many adventurous colleagues.

"If you're a Rank B adventurer, do you earn enough to buy magic items?"
"Didn't Ray experience that?"

　Ray shrugs at the man's words.
　In terms of being a Rank B adventurer, Ray and the man were the same, but Ray had little trouble with money, partly because he had made some big requests to attack thieves and steal their treasures from lower ranks.
　That's why Ray wasn't entirely convinced of what the shopkeeper was saying, but he still understood how much a high-ranking adventurer like a Rank B adventurer was making.
　I've heard about it from Lenora and Kenny, and I've heard it from Elk, a Rank A adventurer, in the form of small talk.

"Well, that's it. It's true that I have a weakness for magic items that I can't even talk about people."
"Oh, that's the case after all." Actually, not many people recognize this as a magic item. By the way, what magic items does Ray collect? I collect magic items that are convenient for everyday life."

　The most popular magic item for everyday use is the magic item of light.
　However, you can't use the magic item as much as you want, as long as you need a piece of magic stone.
　There are other magic items that create sparks, such as cooking fire, but it was clear that what the owner was saying was not common, but something similar to what was used in this stall.

"I'm a magic item that you can actually use in battle. Spears, daggers, etc. "Well, the dagger is not useful in battle."

　A flowing dagger passes through Ray's mind.
　It's a very powerful magic item that can be used as a weapon if it's used well, but with Ray's special characteristics, it can only be used as drinking water.
　"However, if you think of it as drinking water, it would not be better to describe it as heavenly deliciousness."

"You're very serious in battle." Well, even though the collection directions are different, we both have a hobby of collecting magic items. I hope you'll get along with me. It's not a hobby that people will recognize."

　The shopkeeper's words are full of joy at finally finding his company.
　Magic items are basically expensive things. If you look up, there were even dozens of gold coins.
　Ray's mystery ring, for example, is not something you can afford at any price.
　It was not uncommon to buy them in gold or white, if not so expensive.

"That's true," When I tell people that my hobby is collecting magic items, even strange people look at me. Even when I said my hobby was collecting magical stones."
"What? Magic stones? ... Well, I can't say what people like because it depends on each person..."

　Even so, the shopkeeper's gaze at Ray is as if he were a man of taste.
　The reason why the shopkeeper still had no ill will in his eyes was probably because he understood that his hobby was unique.

"Anyway, I'm glad to meet someone I like. Oh, come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Seymour. As I said, this is Seymour, a Rank B adventurer. Well, I sometimes run a stall like this, both for my hobby and forte."
"...actual profit? Isn't it in the red? It's such a magic item that you need a monstrous magic stone of a very high rank to move it?"

　To use high-performance magic items, you will naturally need a monster's magic stone.
　In that sense, if you set up a stall here and sell fruit water, it won't pay for the magical stones. That's what Ray asks, but Seymour shakes his head with a smile.

"No, no, that's the magic item, it's very effective, but you don't need that high-ranking monster magic stone. I heard it and bought it."
"...this cooling magic item?"
"Yes, the magic stone of the Rank E monster works well."

　Ray's gaze becomes somewhat suspicious.
　The magic item Ray saw before had a similar effect because it required the magic stone of Rank C Monster.
　Rank C monsters...that is, monsters of the same rank as Cyclops need magical stones.
　It's a magic item of similar performance, so why does it work with the magic stone of Rank E Monster?
　I doubt it, but it was true that the magic item was moving in front of Ray now.

(In this short period of time, the level of Gilm's alchemy has risen sharply? Well, I don't think it's possible... but I can't do it so conveniently.) if that's the case, is it possible that what I saw was made long ago as if it were too late?)

　Doubtful but ultimately unable to get an answer, he asks Seymour, who is smiling proudly in front of him.

"Why do you move on such a low-ranked magical stone?"
"What do you think?" I'm not familiar with alchemy either... but in the last few years... a dozen years? Anyway, I'm told that the level of alchemy is rapidly rising overall. Isn't it different from the one made of guillem?"
"Oh, it's made in the Westian Empire. Why... What?"

　Suddenly I felt uncomfortable with what I said.Looking at Seto happily drinking cold fruit water, Ray thinks for a few seconds... he realizes what a strange feeling it was.

"Wait! Wait! Wait a minute, please. Well, did you buy this magic item at Gilm or did you actually go to the Empire of Bestia?"

　At Ray's words, Seymour opens his mouth with a smile, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"That's natural, isn't it? Why do you have to go all the way to the Westian Empire? The magic items over there are fascinating, but I'm not going to go to the Westian Empire, which has been hostile to the Kingdom of Milliana for many years. Even my acquaintance was killed in the war. I know it's a war, but I still have a lot of thoughts."
"But you use magic items made in the Westian Empire." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"It's nothing strange, isn't it?" It's rare, but certainly not none, for Gilm to have merchants from the Westian Empire."

　Seymour's words are true.
　Some areas of the Westian Empire are called frontiers, but others are only available in guillem.
　On the other hand, some goods were only available on the outskirts of the Vestian Empire, so naturally there were only a few merchants who went from the Kingdom of Mileana to the outskirts of the Vestian Empire.
　That's for sure, but...

(Even so, there must never be many merchants who risk their lives to get to Gilm.) We were hostile until last year. Most importantly, magic items made in the Empire of Bestia flow into the Gilm market conveniently after the Magic Item scandal. Is this really a coincidence?）

　If you thought about it accidentally, you could think about it, but if you thought Ray was involved with the alchemist he was looking for now, you could do it as well.

(But if the alchemist I'm looking for really created this magic item, why should I do it? Of course, they don't want to try to follow suit. If that's the case... a positive movement? I see, then do you have one.)

　They look like they're in Gilm, and they're actually hiding somewhere else.
　The possibility seemed plausible to Ray.
　At the same time, I suspect that I wanted to make money purely, not in the positive light.
　If you are making magic items such as golem and magic swords, you will need a lot of materials, and you will be able to earn money to get them.

(It's possible that you want Gilm's unique materials, though.) In addition, there is a possibility that the material is not enough to make magic items about Golem.)

　There are a number of possibilities that Ray doesn't know which one to choose.

(Anyway, it's definitely a powerful piece of information.) if that is the case, shall I tell you this when I am joined by Vihela and Bune?"

　Eventually, he decides to discuss the matter with the Vihelas, and Ray asks Seymour.

"So where did you buy this magic item? If the magic stone problem is cleared, I want to buy it too."
"Is this it? It's a little hard to understand because it's just off the main street. Do you know the store of Lellows?"
"Lerose... oh, it's a store selling ingredients and stuff on the high street. I've been there a few times."
"Well, then it's too early to talk about it's too early." From Lellows's, head towards the guild, turn down the second street into the alley, and follow the path down the road. and there's a shop that displays the skull of a goblin."
"... the skull of a goblin? It's very bad taste."
"Hahaha. I can say that. But isn't it really like that? Actually, it's quite a hole and I sometimes go there. "However, I didn't have many magic items that Ray likes to use in actual warfare, so in that sense, I guess I don't think I like Ray."""
"You have a goblin skull?"

　Seymour nods gravely to Ray's words.

"The shopkeeper doesn't seem to like adventurers very much. In that sense, I don't like it that much, but... well, if you say my introduction, you won't be kicked back, so if you go, why don't you go there? I'm sorry. It's a guest."

　Seymour is quick to spot customers lining up behind Ray as he talks.
　Ray, too, has no intention of interrupting Seymour's business, so he pays for it and heads to the meeting place with Vichela.
　with an unexpected clue
