"Oh, I've been waiting for you. How was your business, though it ended well here."

　Upon arriving at the meeting place, Augusto waves with a happy smile.
　It was obvious from the look of it that the deal had gone well.

"Yes, this one has finished well, too." though there have been many troubles."

　Zarroost turns a complex look to Ray, who is nearby with Sett.
　I knew Ray was a strong adventurer, but the notoriety the receptionist uttered in the guild was even more mind-boggling.
　It wasn't just Zarroost, it was Gorkas involved with Ray... and so were the other adventurers who had heard about Ray and the receptionist.
　It's hard to believe that Ray is notorious for his appearance. But the receptionist...Guild officials sharing information with each other would never misjudge the other.
　Most importantly, the guild staff could not have made a mistake because they had heard about Ray from Marina.
　Ray's refusal to correct the nickname crimson increases the credibility of being a notorious man... and in the end, there is no contempt in the eyes that are directed at Ray.
　One of the worst was the Golcas, the first to be entangled in Ray.
　Knowing that he had a different name, Golcas ran away as soon as he met Ray after the conversation with the receptionist.
　In the end, the guild turned into a strange atmosphere, and the guards, including Zarroost, quickly finished the request and left the guild.
　Some of them tried to have a drink in the bar, but there's no way they could do it in their present guilds.
　We all ended up out of the guild, with the exception of Zarroost all over the city.

"Is it a disturbance. -- well, I can understand it somehow."

　Augusto's smiling gaze naturally turns to Ray.

"I have a set of Gryphons with me, and it would be strange not to make a fuss,"
"...no, that's not the case, but there's been another disturbance."
"Other than that?"
"Yes. ... It turns out that Ray was actually a notorious adventurer."
"Oh!? No, I knew Mr. Ray was strong, but... I see, is he notorious?" That's wonderful, isn't it?"

　an August muttering admiringly at Ray
　The reason why they react differently to the adventurers in the guild is probably because they camp out with Ray for even one night and know him well.
　He was also able to get to know Ray, who was notorious.
　An adventurer with a nickname is special in many ways.
　I feel the same way not only as an adventurer but also as a merchant asking for a favor.
　This could have been an unexpected blessing for August.

(He has such a ridiculous magic item, and besides, he is subservient to the Gryphon. If you think about it that way, it might be quite natural to have a different name.)

　Turning his eyes to Ray and Seto again, Augusto opens his mouth with a smile.

"Well, let's move towards the house, I'm running a messenger first, so my wife has been cooking delicious food for me by now. How about Mr. Zarroost? He always guards me, so sometimes we can dine together."
"No, I'd like to, but I told Ray I was going to strip him of his sand serpent. And then we need to get ready."

　Auguste agrees with Zarroost's words.
　The sand serpent measures about five meters in length. My head has disappeared for about 4 meters, but it's not easy to peel it off from a monster of that size.
　Moreover, this was a desert, and he could not imitate working near the rivers around him, as Ray had done in Gilm.
　Zarroost probably says he'll do it because the equipment around it won't work unless you apply for it properly.

(Well, if you're going to do it, I'm comfortable, and I'm very welcome.)

　Ray has no complaints if he can replace such a complicated procedure.
　Worst of all, there was a way to peel it off after returning to the guillem without stripping it here.

"Well, that's too bad." Well, Mr. Ray, and Seth, too. Shall we go now? I'm sure you'll like it."

　When Zarroost tells him he can't come to dinner, he seems a little disappointed, but soon changes his mind and calls out to Ray and Sett.
　Ray has no objection to it and immediately nods back.

"Well, Mr. Zarroost," Thank you very much for the escort this time. I look forward to seeing you again."
"Oh, Mr. Auguste, be careful. Well, if Ray and Sett are at home, I think they'll only regret it if they try to do something careless."

　deliver the latter half of one's words to Ray
　Anyone who wants to sneak into the house where the notorious adventurer and Gryphon are staying would definitely be considered brave.

(A brave man is a brave man, but he is a savage man.)

　Still, the brave are brave, and Zarroost leaves with a sarcastic smile on his face, greeting Ray and Auguste.

"... now, shall we go?" My wife's cooking is superb."
"Oh, I've heard it many times, and I'm looking forward to it."

　I've heard August's wife bragging many times in this short time.
　It was obvious, needless to think, that she was what we call a loving wife.
　Auguste, who listened to Ray's words with a smile, guides him along.
　Gorsuch is one of the most prosperous cities in the country of Sollein, but it is still nothing compared to Gilm.
　It may also be influenced by its emphasis on oasis.

"I never thought Mr. Ray was a notorious adventurer."
"Is that so? ... well, I suppose so."

　Ray knows what his appearance looks like.
　If you look at yourself and see yourself as a strong person, it doesn't seem like that, though it's not normal.

"You thought he was famous because he was subservient to Seto?"

　August's gaze is directed to the surroundings.
　Most of the inhabitants were surprised and even frightened at the sight of Seto... Gryphon.
　Still, there was no great fuss about it, either because Sett wore the devil's necklace or, above all, because August was with Ray and Sett.
　Auguste, who is being watched by Elema, is not disliked by all the residents of Gors.
　It is safe to say that he is liked along with his sincere personality. ...however, I can't get along openly in the presence of the people involved in the Elima business.

(Sand serpent's absorption of magical stones, and I'd like to move the sandboat in earnest, too.) There's a guy called Dalidra who wants it back.)

　Basically, the property of a thief belongs to the person who subdued it. But if the owner wanted it back, he had to negotiate. ...if we could agree on that price.
　The problem in this case is, after all, the price of a sandboat.
　Ray didn't know exactly how long it would take, but he could still predict that gold and white coins would not buy it.

(and I'm wondering, but can't you actually buy it in gold, can you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Ray was worried about the pockets of Elema's business, but after that, August's wife bragged about her and got bored.
　I don't know how long it will take to get to Augusto's house, and I'll say something I'm a little worried about, caressing Seto's head as he walks next to me.

"I'd like to ask you a question: can the sandboat that I have got move only on the sand?"When he asked Auguste, Ray was in his mind outside of the desert, such as grasslands, rivers, and the sea near Gilm.
　Basically, Ray travels on a set when he travels out of town.
　This is because Seto's speed of flight is overwhelming, and most monsters don't approach.
　But... not everything has its advantages.
　One drawback of flying on a set is that it can only be carried by Ray.
　A small child can carry it exactly, but a little bigger makes it harder.
　When you grow up, you're completely out of control. Moving in large groups was a dream come true.
　But it would be a different story if sandboats could be used anywhere.
　With that in mind, Ray asked Auguste... he returned by shaking his head.

"""Sandboat is a magic item designed to move on sand, as the name suggests." I'm not an alchemist either, so I don't know the theory in detail, but it seems that I can't move unless I'm on the sand anyway."
"...just as the name of the sandboat,"
"Yes, I'm afraid."

　I had expected it from its name, but it's still a shame for Ray to be told that it's only on the sand.

"On the sand... is it no use in rocky deserts?"
"Well, only on the sand. Of course, as far as I know, there may be other things that can be moved, but the sandboat Mr. Ray got was built in Ozos, which he called the Magical City."
"...you know that well." I didn't know when I saw the sandboat."

　Augusto shrugs his shoulders slightly before opening his mouth to Ray, who questions.

"I was once proud of myself when I met Dallidra. Yesterday was the first time I saw it, just because I had obtained an Ozos sandboat."
"Ozos, the magical city," I've heard the name several times, but I've never been there myself."
"Really? I heard that you have a hobby of collecting magic items. Have you been there..."
"I'm afraid I've never been there without a chance. I'd like to go there some day."

　I've heard Ozos' name many times, but I've never been there.
　It was funny for Ray, too.
　Originally, Ray has a hobby of collecting magic items. Of course, in terms of magic, you might want to go to Ozos, which can be said to be cutting edge. ...no, I can even say it was natural.
　But somehow Ray doesn't feel like going to Ozos.

(Why? ... well, let's see. If you have a chance, you'll want to go.)

　Ray himself didn't seem to have noticed it at all, though it was a completely different thought.

"Well, I've never been there just to hear about Ozos. I want to go there someday."

　Ray nods back to Augusto, smiling.

"And... what did you talk about?" Oh, yes! Is it a sandboat? After all, it's pretty hard to use if you can only move in a sandy desert."
"Well, but that was enough for the Elema business." There must have been some pretentiousness, and even if I were to use it for that, this place is Gorsh. It's an oasis town in the desert, so there's no problem with using sandboats."
"Well, you don't have to worry about it as long as you live here... it's true that it's not very easy for me to use."

　Is it better to sell it at Gorsuch, where more people want it?
　Ray thought that way, but if he sold it to a careless person, he would certainly be taken over by Elema.

(So, if you want to sell it, you'd better sell it in another city.) Even if Elema's business has a strong influence, it's probably just Gorsuch. Fortunately, it is said that the desert is the majority of the country.)

　Though it was a lucky magic item, Ray had no intention of moving to Gorsuch or of keeping the sandboat dead in the mistling.
　Magic items are not decorated and loved like works of art, but only when they are actually used.
　Of course, there are magic items designed for appreciation in the world.
　like a moving painting or a doll like a pet robot
　If it's such a magic item, I can understand whether it's intended to be appreciated or Ray.
　As I walk with that thought in mind, August suddenly opens his mouth.

"Oh, over there, Mr. Ray," The love nest that my beloved wife Kathy is waiting for me!"
"... no, love nest..."

　Was it a mistake to choose to stay at Auguste's house?
　The word "nest of love" briefly worries Ray.
　It was a very moving sight to see Sett purring to encourage Ray.
