There was another dark elf in the office besides Marina.
　Silver hair with brown skin is no different from marina's, but it's cut around the shoulder, which is much shorter than marina.
　Also, her body is not as undulating as Marina's, and it is rather appropriate to describe her as a slender figure.
　Unlike Marina, which unconsciously exudes a woman's lustre and s*xiness, it gives off a rather refreshing atmosphere.
　Generally speaking, they had a lot in common with marina in the sense of dark elves, but in general they produced a strange phenomenon that somehow did not resemble marina at all.
　It must have something to do with what you're wearing.
　Marina wears a party dress with her chest and back exposed as usual, while the other Dark Elf wears leather armour similar to the one worn by an ordinary adventurer.

"Ray, you came, and others."

　It's a marina that usually gives you a rich sense of woman's charm, but today I smile at Ray, looking tired.
　Even with such a casual gesture, they show off a woman, so there must already be something close to instinct.

(Well, there are Elena and Vihela to-day, and I don't think they'll make a bad impression.)

　Marina calls the Dark Elf woman Audovan, whose eyes sparkle greatly when she sees Ray and others in her office.

"Wow, that's great. Why are you so beautiful and cute, Marina. Are these people? ... Huh? What kind of girl is she hiding her face?"

　Seeing Ray wearing a dragon lobe hood, Audovan asks mysteriously asks.
　Marina breathes and opens her mouth to such an audovan.

"She. It's amazing that she doesn't know."

　Marina's words must have been incomprehensible. Audovan approaches Ray with a mystified look.

"Why don't you show me your face? I want to know about people I might be able to help."

　I guess it's because of his height. Audovan seemed to completely mistake Ray for a woman.
　Ray, like Marina, breathes and then opens his mouth to see Audovan approaching him.

"Marina, didn't you mention me?"
"Me!? What? Is this a boy!? He's an adventurer!"

　Ray's voice is not so low as to be called an adult man.
　Some women would be convinced if they were told they had a husky voice.
　However, the tone of his voice was that of a man who could not be misled.
　Ray opens his mouth as he puts down his hood to the astonishingly wide-eyed hors.

"I'm afraid he's a man,"
"What!? No, because with this face and physique, you're a man... you know..."
"Oh, calm down, Audovan. What are you going to do if you get upset? Oh, I've had enough of Lenora. It's going to be important from here on out, so please go back downstairs."

　Marina looks at Audovan dumbfounded, but eventually tells Lenora, who looks bewildered behind her.
　Worried about Kenny's earlier appearance, Lenora nods and opens her mouth.

"Well, excuse me, guildmaster. If you have any business, please feel free to call me."
"Yes. ... Oh, it doesn't have to be Lenora, can you bring me tea and something to eat?"

　Once again Lenora nods and bows at Marina's words and goes down the stairs.
　Thus, the men who remained in the office were the called Lays and Marina, who called them. And Marina's acquaintances, Audovan, add up to seven.

"I'm sorry to have called you all of a sudden." for the time being I'll explain why."

　As she spoke, Marina sat down on her desk chair, not on the sofa.

"You are here, too,"

　She tells Audovan, who was about to sit beside Elena and Vihela, and she turns to Marina's side with a stunned faces.
　That didn't stop me from muttering in my mouth.
　It's a guest sofa, but it doesn't sit that large.
　There are only two sofas large enough for three to four people to sit side by side.
　Marina and Audovan could have sat down if they pushed themselves, but this is the first time Marina has met anyone other than Ray in person.
　As guildmasters, I knew that Ray and his colleagues had received a lot of requests these days.
　What we're going to talk about is far from being taken lightly by Audovan or Marina, who brought this story.
　That's why we chose to keep our distance from each other.
　...however, it is also true that Elena and Vichela would feel bad if they sat down on the sofa and tried to seduce Ray consciously or unconsciously.
　Marina's honest mind was that she wanted to challenge this case in the best possible way.
　Marina naturally opens her mouth first when she's ready to talk.

"Well, if you go round the corner, Audovan will cause unnecessary trouble, so let me be blunt." I asked Ray and you guys to come because they asked me to nominate you. To be honest, I don't have much to do with Mr. Elena because of her request for nomination."

　Marina always wanted to help Elena, if possible.
　The reason why we don't say it properly is probably because we both stand on the same page.
　Elena is not an adventurer in the first place.

"I don't know what it is about, but I can't stay in Gilm forever. I must return to my territory in the summer."
"Summer... I wonder if I can make it in time?"

　Marina asks her neighbor, Audovan, who immediately shakes her head.

"No, no, Marina, what are you talking about?" If you think about it normally, it may take years to finish this case without any problems, even until summer..."

　Most of the people who listened to the word "annual" including Ray frowned slightly.
　Especially blatant was Arra, whose damage is not to be overlooked, given that Elena would not be able to work in the aristocracy by the year.
　Bune, on the other hand, is still listening to Marina without any particular change of expression.

"Calm down, sir. Come to think of it, you were not good at sensing magic. Still, you can sense Elena's magical powers. Try a little hard."

　As she breathes out, Audovan turns to Elena with a quizzical look on his face... ...who had not yet introduced himself, but still turned his gaze from Marina's tone to the supposed Elena.
　Marina was the most beautiful woman for the Dark Elf Audovan, who had lived for more than 300 years.
　But the woman called Elena is no less beautiful than the marina, and the most surprising is that there is another woman of her caliber.

(The other two have better features than average... and when you think about it, this kid looks kind of awful.) and yet I wonder if Marina is a great man to call her by name.)

　Living in the woods of the Dark Elves alone, the Dark Elves, including Audovan, are surprisingly ignorant of the world's information.
　Some merchants do business in detail, but in the first place, dark elves are not very interested in the outside world, and they don't often ask the merchants about the outside world.
　From the time we left the forest to the time we reached Gilm, we had caused a lot of commotion.
　...whether or not he is conscious of it.
　That is why I do not know of Elena, one of the notorious men of the kingdom of Mileana.When asked to raise the number of people they know, they would raise the Sardart of the only three Rank S adventurers in the world.
　But this is largely because Sardart is of the Elves.
　At any rate, Audovan, who is not good at feeling magic, focuses his attention on Elena.
　I used to like to see cute or beautiful women, but now I leave that consciousness aside.
　Even though they usually playful hors d'oeuvans, they have a lot on their shoulders... I know that the future of their family depends on themselves.
　That's why I came to Marina to ask for help because I'm one of the most skillful members of the family and a fast runner.
　So I concentrated my attention, and felt the magic of Elena, who was right at the end of my gaze...

"Huh!"

　A wild voice escapes from the mouth.
　It's natural. Audovan's magic is not something that people can hold.
　Even the elves and dark elves, who are said to have more magical powers than others... or their superior species, the high elves, will not match the amount of magic that Elena has today.
　Audovan agrees that Elena is the most magical of the Lays.
　At the same time, she said that with such magical powers, the matter could be over in a short time, as Marina said.
　...the idea was natural to Audovan, who did not know the ring of the new moon, which was on Ray's finger and had the effect of concealing his magical powers.
　Just in case, I will check the magical powers of people other than Elena, but unfortunately, all of them are normal or have little magical powers, and I feel a little disappointed.

"I wonder. Did you get what I meant?"

　Audovan shakes his head in a hurry at Marina's words in her desk chair.

"I had no doubts about what Marina was saying, but I was convinced that I could confirm it directly. If I had this beautiful woman, it would never be difficult to solve this problem."
"Yes, sir,"

　Marina smiles vaguely at Audovan's words and turns to Ray for a moment.
　...that act inspired Elena and Vihela to some extent as if she had wet eyes, but Ray watched the two dark elves communicate, unaware of the woman's conflict.

"Well, I'll be ready, and I'll start as soon as I can." Even though we have some time to spare, we'd better get to the forest as soon as possible."

　Marina gasps in amazement at Audovan, who is about to leave her office.

"Calm down, sir. It will take me a day or two to get ready for departure, and, above all, you haven't explained the situation to the Ray yet, have you?"

　Marina's words must have finally made her aware of it. Audovan scrambles back to Marina's side.
　Through a series of interactions, Rey and his colleagues had roughly grasped Audovan's character.
　He's not so enthusiastic about accomplishing the mission he's been given, but his enthusiasm sometimes drifts away.
　It's also not difficult to predict that this is probably the kind of hobby given the way Elena and Vihela look at themselves.
　The prediction, however, seemed to be correct and subtly off the mark.
　There's no doubt that Audovan likes beautiful women and cute partners, regardless of gender.
　...that is, Ray is one of those objects for Audovan.

"Sorry, Marina," I don't know..."
"I understand how you feel, but if I make a mistake in a hurry, isn't it?"
"...yes. So when exactly will we be leaving?"
"Calm down, then," You haven't explained to the Lays what it is like yet, have you?"

　When I tell him so, he knocks on the door of his office.

"Excuse me, Guildmaster," Here's your tea."
"Come in,"

　Elena's words are joined by guild officials, who put a few teas, dried fruits and sandwiches on the tray.
　The receptionist, who is not close to Ray, Lenora or Kenny, but has seen Ray several times.
　The members in the room... especially Elena, Vihela and Marina, are wide-eyed.
　As a receptionist, I had seen Rey and others head to Marina's office, but when I saw the three of them in close proximity, I felt very uncomfortable.
　Still, she is a receptionist at Gilm and leaves the office without showing much agitation.
　After seeing the receptionist off, Ray turns to Marina and asks.

"And what do you want us to do, as you seem to be the only one making progress?"
"...the Dark Elf Forest of me and Audovan's home town. I'd like to ask you to treat the diseases in the world tree and solve the various problems that are happening."

　I told you so.
