Running away from Ray and Auguste, Dhalidra walked through the streets of Gorsuch with a nervous look on her face.
　No, it's right to describe the speed as already running.
　Dharidra is well known both in good and bad ways, as the president of Elema, which is famous for being a big merchant in Gorsuch.
　That's why Daridra's unusual appearance was very noticeable, but he doesn't seem to have noticed it at all.
　All Dallidra has in his mind right now is Ray.

(Kingdom of Milliana, Gilm, Ray, Gryphon... undoubtedly, he is a man of crimson nickname, who has rendered great service in the war between the Kingdom of Milliana and the Empire of Bestia. But why is this Gorsuch in the desert? He said he just dropped by accident...)

　Ray's image just passed through Dallidra's mind, but he can't be trusted.
　It's too convenient for me.
　a notorious adventurer who even used a sandboat to kill Augusto, but showed up obstructing it.
　...the spread of Ray's name was due in part to the events and civil wars of the Westian Empire, but unfortunately, in a small country...and in a city that was not the capital, it seems that much information could not be obtained.

(Anyway, Ray is dangerous.) Whatever it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good to be cooperating Augusto. "It would be perfect if I could pull him in here, but I don't think so.)"

　Though not complete, Daridra knows Ray's information.
　Given the information, I never thought I'd do anything to help myself.

(And it hurts a great deal to have his sandboat stolen by him. Well, the bandits should have taken action and killed August before Ray joined them. abominable)

　The loss of the sandboat, which had been a great asset to Erema Corporation and myself, was a great pain.
　If Augusto had it, there were ways to negotiate and, in the worst case, forcefully steal it, but I didn't think he could imitate Ray.

(No, come to think of it, Ray must have been interested in collecting magic items. Then, it might be a good idea to think of sandboats as a necessary expense. It's tough, but if you pull it out here with magic items of the same rank as the sandboat...)

　That being said, I doubt Ray's ability to turn over to his camp, if not very much.
　On the contrary, all I could think of was a disastrous future.

(What shall I do... that matter has already begun to move.) If I were to stop now, I would have used a great deal of the property of Elema, and if I withdrew here, only debts would remain."

　Daridra, who is walking but wrinkled between her eyebrows, looks sullen to all eyes.
　People in the direction of Dharidra's progress will make way for each other if they try to talk to him like that's the way he's going to go.
　Dhalidra glances up into the sky in frustration with the heat peculiar to the desert, and suddenly remembers what Ray was saying.
　I happened to stop by this gosh.
　It was unfortunate that Ray was present at the scene of the bandit attack, but he still had a chance if he didn't intend to live here permanently.
　I can't trust Ray's words completely, but now I can only hope they're right.

(Stop moving temporarily, and move again after Ray is gone. ...that's all I can do.)

　Once he's settled on his thoughts, Dallidra finally realizes that his bodyguards and associates are not around him.

"Well, must I think of some assessment?"

　muttered, heard footsteps chasing him from behind, and turned to him.





　After Dharidra runs away, naturally the eyes of those present turn to Ray.
　What on earth have you done? When asked so openly, Ray opens his mouth to think for a moment and then ask if he needs to remain silent forever.

"Well, you can tell me about myself, but can you tell me a good place to stay? If possible, I'd like a good place to eat."
"Are you going to make a mistake here?" ... well, how much is it budgeted?"
"I don't particularly care. I'm not pressed for money. Oh, but I'd like a place where Set could stay with me."

　Ray's words that he can afford any amount of money make people look surprised, but they are soon convinced.
　He wonders why a child of his appearance has so much money, and the next moment he sees Sett beside him, who is subservient to the Gryphon, and it is only natural for an adventurer of that strength.
　In addition, Ray is naturally wearing a dragon lobe hood.
　Most residents of Gorsuch have brown, if not as much, skin as dark elves.
　In the midst of this, Ray's fair skin stands out.
　Zarroost advised me about it and thus hid my face.

"Well, there are many inns where the food is delicious, but... when it comes to a stable where Sett can stay, it' Especially in the current situation where he is hostile to Dallidra..."

　If you're hostile to Dharidra and Elema in the Gorsuch, you'll have to be affected.
　And all the inns with stables in which Seto could stay were luxury inns, and it was only natural that the relationship with Elima Shokai would become closer.

"Worst of all, if you let me have some land, I'll get up in the tent."

　People around Ray express their pity at the words he uttered.
　But it was the gaze of Ray because he didn't know his tent was a magic tent.
　The Magic Tent is incomparably equipped and very comfortable to stay in.
　Ray doesn't have to worry about the water he needs to live with as long as he has a running dagger.
　Not knowing it, it was no use looking at me like I am now.
　Meanwhile, Auguste suddenly opens her mouth.

"Why don't you come to my house, Mr. Ray? Fortunately, we have a stable where Sett can come in, and my wife will welcome the guests." "The room is not as good as a high-class inn, but I think the food is comparable to a high-class inn."

　The Augusto who tells me about his wife's culinary skills is probably remembering the taste. There was an enraptured light in my eyes.

"Ah, Ray. Mr. Auguste is a loving wife. It would be nice to say that they are a good couple forever."

　Zarroost advises Ray that he might want to stop staying at Auguste's because he is so enthusiastic.
　But Ray had a difficult look on his face when he said such a thing.
　With the influence of Elema's business, the only way Ray can stay is to stay in a magic tent or Auguste's house.
　Magic tents allow you to spend your time as you please, but you have to prepare your own meals.
　If you stay at Auguste's, you'll be able to show your love for the couple, but you don't have to prepare meals. ...though of course you'll have to pay a reasonable price for Ray and Sett's meal.
　I was wondering which one was better, but I couldn't stop leaning towards staying at Auguste's, where I could eat local food anyway.
　There are stalls in the sense of local cuisine, but... given the influence of the Elima trade, there is a feeling that you can't eat at a bad restaurant.

(Huh? Then, how does Augusto's daughter-in-law buy food ingredients? If Elema has such a strong influence, she won't be able to sell the ingredients at the store.)

　Ray had such a question, but before he could answer it, Auguste approached him and asked him what he would do.

"What would you do, Ray? I'd love you to come with me. I'd like to introduce my wife as a lifesaver."
"... oh, yes." All right. That's all I can you help me? Don't worry, I'll give you food expenses, including Seto's."
"I don't have to worry about food expenses."

　Augusto told me that he was a lifesaver, but he had a magic item called sandboat, and the bandits were supposed to be sold as slaves, so he could afford it.
　It's not a pseudo desert of Dungeon, but a real desert, so Ray thought it would be difficult to find it even if he asked about the home ground, so he left it alone, but if he had a little time to spare, he could look for it.

(Well, it's highly likely that someone will have ravaged you before that.)

　Given that it is the home of bandits, it is natural that there are many treasures there.
　And since most of the bandits were captured by Ray, there should have been no bandits... but few.Will other bandits and...or adventurers silently overlook such a great prey?
　There was no doubt that the answer was negative, given my past conduct.
　It may be because Ray was feared to be a thief.

"Well, if we talk about food expenses later... if we stay here forever, it will be a nuisance to others."

　The excitement seemed to have calmed down, and August muttered, looking about him.
　The Rays are now in a place that hasn't gone far since they entered Gorsuch.
　It was a very prominent place where Auguste's carriage, carriage, and the adventurers of his bodyguard gathered, and it was true that they were standing in the way of other passers-by.

"Well, we've got to go to the guild that the escort has been requested. What about you, Ray, if you were an adventurer working in Guilm, you would have the ability to compete with others in Gorsuch?"

　If you look at the battle against sand serpents and bandits, you can't possibly underestimate Ray's appearance.
　Also, even considering that there is a subservient set, there is no way anyone could say that Ray is not good enough.

(The only element of anxiety is...)

　When Zarroost sees Ray wearing a hood, he thinks about the elements of anxiety.
　The seemingly small Ray will be despised by his appearance. And if you put down your hood, you'll notice that you're not from Sollein, and you'll be mistaken for a woman.
　In this country where masculine men are respected, an adventurer who looks like Ray is undoubtedly despised and entangled.
　His subservience to the Gryphon would also be a cause of contempt for being thought to be strengthened by Sett's power rather than Ray's.
　Zarroost and other adventurers might have despised Ray if they hadn't seen him kill Sand serpent with the first blow.

(A skilled adventurer like the one employed by the Erema Chamber of Commerce might be another.)

　It is unreasonable to ask such people to feel Ray's strength, as skilled workers are rare and unskilled.
　It was the best option for Ray to go to the guild with them so that no adventurer in the guild of Gorsuch was needed.
　I don't mean to be commissioned, and basically the adventurer doesn't have to show up at the guild...

"Do you sell sand serpent ingredients?"

　Ray nods back to Zaroust, who recalls the giant monster he encountered when he met Ray.

"Oh, I've blown away the proof of defeat, but... I've heard that the skin will sell."

　Remembrance of Sand Serpent's information from Zarroost on his way to Ghosh, Ray himself nods.

"We should be able to have them redeemed for a reasonably high price as protective materials. There are some parts of the internal organs that can be sold, and meat can be sold."

　In meat, Ray shakes his head.

"Seto seemed to have tried it, so I'll go there."

　That being the case, Ray is not thinking of eating snake meat.
　Monsters like humanoid oaks, augers, and cyclops ate Ray without a hitch, but snakes did not feel like eating.
　When I was in Japan, I liked to eat ingredients such as eels, conger eel, lamprey eel, and, in some unusual way, urticaria, but from the perspective of the others, I doubt that snakes will not be accepted.

"It's a fine article in its own way." If I should join Mr. Auguste later, shall I go to the guild now?"

　With his words Ray had once parted from Auguste and headed for the guild with his bodyguard adventurers, including Zarroost.
