In one of the finest buildings in Gorsuch... in one of them, Dharidra listens to reports from her men over a cold glass of cold water.
　The temperature is close to 40 degrees outside, but the temperature in the room where Dhalidra is staying is only about 30 degrees.
　Of course it's hot enough, but Dari Dora is also Gorsuch... a man born and raised in the desert.
　The temperature of about 30 degrees was quite comfortable, and it was just right.

"And? You're not interfering with Ray's behavior, are you?"
"Yes, I haven't touched him at all, as you instructed me to do. Is that really all right? Wouldn't he be a hindrance to Mr. Dallidra?"
"Well, if it's a disability, it's definitely a disability. to the point where it's super."
"Then, even if it is impossible to knock him down, why don't we think of a way to get him out of the Gorsuch?"

　Daridra immediately shakes his head, though the man has been serving Elema since the last generation.

"No! Think it means ruin to touch him!"

　Daridra usually tries to stay calm, but she tells her subordinates that she puts her energy into what they say.
　I had some information about what Ray was like.
　But... it was the advice of those whom he employed as bodyguards that recognized Ray as a greater threat.
　Even in this Gorsuch, with a large sum of money... no, the guards of their own, collected from Sollein and the neighboring countries.
　The guards were well worth the money, and the very fact that they were employed was a great help to the Elema business.
　They say that if they oppose the Erema trade, they will antagonize the guards.
　It's no joke, but Daridra recognizes that with his guards, it's easy to destroy even the village level.
　The adventurers I trusted so much... even some of them were high-ranking adventurers called Rank B adventurers, but they all told me.
　You should never be hostile to that man, Ray.
　On the contrary, if they were going to fight Ray, they would be forced to leave the escort, even if they paid a penalty.
　Since they are employed at a high rate of compensation, the penalty naturally.
　Still, the guards say it's better to get rid of it with money than to lose your life.
　The adventurers who believed in his ability cannot compel him to fight. ...however, as long as I had received Ray's information, Dallidra had never thought of anything to do against him carelessly.
　Still, it was nothing short of a shock that his bodyguards had said so.
　Daridra, who had no intention of antagonizing Ray, was more determined by the words of her bodyguards.

"...so far?"

　Daridra nods deeply to his subordinates.

"Yes, as far as I'm concerned, he's strong enough to even determine the outcome of the war by himself. Last year's war between the Kingdom of Miliana and the Empire of Bestia... the battle was even at first, but he alone killed 30 percent of the army of the Empire of Bestia."
"What!? . . . . . . . . . . . . Is it really possible?"

　Daridra continues as she drains the lukewarm water to a man who says he can't believe it, even though it's the Lord's word.

"Of course this is an exaggerated rumor." However, according to the information I collected, it is true that they played an important role in determining the course of the war."
"...a human being? That's even if the dragon you hear about takes the form of a human being..."
"Phew, is it a dragon?" Well, some of the information I collected was that they were using dragons... apparently not dragons, but glyphons."

　To be exact, the rumor spread when I was seen with Yero, a child of a tribe called the Black Dragon or the Black Dragon.
　If we had gathered more information about Elena, one of the most famous and notorious members of the kingdom of Milliana, we might have found out that Elena was using a yellow... unfortunately, that information didn't fall under Dallidra.

"Gryphon, sir. Honestly, I've never seen a real Gryphon before. I don't think so..."

　The man probably saw Ray walking with Seto. mutter deeply
　They seemed very friendly on the face alone, and in fact they were on good terms with merchants and escort adventurers in Augusto's merchant corps.
　But... and yet, in the eyes of men, the Gryphon seemed to me to be tremendous.

"Well, what's the information over there? I think I've instructed you to find out when Ray's leaving this gosh."
"Unfortunately, nothing at the moment. Would you like me to hurry you a little?"

　Daridra shakes her head at the man's words.

"No, I won't," Ray must be sharp because he's notorious. If you let him do something wild here, he'll know you're a good hand at the other way around."
"So the information there is not too much... just as usual?"

　Daridra nodded to the man, and for a while he was determined to wait and see for August and Ray.





　At the Guild counter in Gorsuch, the receptionist takes a moment's breath of surprise at the sight of something in front of her, but immediately looks convinced.
　It's a sand serpent material... because it was folded skin.
　It's a sand serpent skin about five meters long -- but about four meters in length because Ray crushed his head.
　The skin was that big, but it was so neatly folded that I managed to put it on the counter.
　Naturally, the presence of Rank C monsters is rare, but the receptionist knows that the notorious Rank B adventurer Ray is in front of her.
　You'd be surprised if the adventurers of this city brought sand serpent materials.
　The adventurers of Gorsuch, except for a few, are by no means exceptionally powerful.
　Some of them are mostly adventurers employed by Erema Corporation, and are very few purely Gorsuch adventurers and skilled.

"Sand serpent material?" Please wait a moment."

　Because Ray was the one who told him yesterday that he was crimson, the receptionist immediately returns from the mess and prepares to start assessing the purchase and asks Ray just in case.

"And is the material of the sand serpent only skin?"

　Sand serpents are also useful materials for meat, internal organs and bones.
　In particular, some internal organs produce venom, which is highly sought after as a poison to monsters.
　I should also have been able to buy the tusks, eyeballs, and tongues at reasonable prices... unfortunately they had been shattered by Ray's twilight spear.

"Oh, yes. I'd like to keep meat here as much as Seto eats, but I can sell bones and internal organs. I've blown my head off, so I don't have anything to do with it."
"Well, blow it away... Is that so?" I understand. If it's a material that I can buy, I'll buy it."
"It's a little difficult to take out the bones here... can I just take them out?"
"No, I'm sorry, but can you come to the warehouse? It would be helpful if you could take it out there."

　Rey nods at the receptionist's words and moves on.
　Their appearance is naturally fascinating to those in the guild.
　Jealousy, longing, dissatisfaction, goodwill, curiosity... Ray and the receptionist leave the guild.
　...it's guildly that some of the envious glances have feelings for acting with the receptionist, not Ray's ability.
　The receptionist is basically hired by a well-featured person to favor adventurers.

"I envy you," I want to be in that position, too."

　One muttered discontentedly, and the adventurer nearby opened his mouth with a wry smile.

"Then you can beat Sand Serpent by yourself, just like him. It's easy, isn't it?"
"Huh! Can an ordinary person do that?" I'm a Rank D adventurer, and there's no way I can beat Sand Serpent, who is ranked high on the list of Rank C monsters.""If you don't have enough ability, all you have to do is raise it." You don't work hard, and that person... it's ugly to be jealous of someone like Ray."
"Oh?"

　A jealous and unsightly man glares at a man who speaks to him uncomfortably.
　However, the man looked back at the man with no sign of fright.
　It hasn't been long since I became an adventurer, and I'm supposed to be overwhelmingly stronger, but for some reason I can't be strong with the man in front of me.
　I understood that if I did that, I would definitely be able to get over it.
　This adventurer, too, was a bunch of adventurers around here, although the usual expression may not suit him until a few days ago.
　He was a very motivated and aggressive new adventurer, but he didn't have any remarkable capabilities... but he changed his appearance largely because he saw the Battle of Ray up close.
　Sand serpent, a Rank C monster who will never win by himself...or even with friends who are partying.
　When it appeared before me, I was even prepared to die.
　But... in the end, Ray's blow made no sense, as if to say that his determination had nothing to do with it.
　Rey easily kills Sand Serpent, who will rank high among Rank C monsters.
　As a new adventurer, it was impossible not to admire the figure.
　And what determined the man's consciousness was the bandits who attacked him using sandboats.
　Ray's demon, Gryphon, gave the bandits a cry, and that was all they could not move.
　Wanting to be like Ray, the man who wondered how he could be like that decides to go ahead with everything.
　Originally I wanted to use a death-size scythe or a twilight spear that killed a sand serpent with a single blow, but a man who had just bought a long sword can't afford it.
　We decided to do something about it later and now we should have prioritized getting stronger after being asked to put it down.

"Hush,"

　Seeing such a man, the adventurer who was jealous of Ray leaves.
　After seeing it off, the man turned to the request board to find the most difficult request he could make.

(One day I'll be an adventurer like Ray.) I'll be sure.)

　The adventurer, who longs for a younger boy, will experience many more... and will rise to the highest rank B adventurer in Gorsuch in the future.





"Well, I have certainly received the materials. Here's the payment."

　When Ray receives a mixed bag of gold and silver from the receptionist, he keeps it in a mistling without looking inside.

"Mr. Ray!? Um... can I check the contents?"
"Oh, I trust the guild," and if I do anything wrong, I shall take proper measures."

　The receptionist took a moment's breath away at the gaze from under the hood.
　He had a keen gaze at him, but for no reason whatsoever, something cold ran down his spine.
　The receptionist quickly nods back to Ray, who is staring at him.

"Of course you can't do that, can you? I'll handle it properly."
"If you do that, I'll be able to sell the material with peace of mind."
"As for that matter...there was no magic stone in the material...I heard that the part of the proof of subjugation disappeared along with the head. What is wrong with the magic stone?"

　Although she knew the receptionist's aim to change the subject, Ray also responds by deciding that the matter needs to be said.

"My hobby is collecting magical stones. one for preservation and one for ornamental purposes So basically, magic stones can't be sold until the third monster falls."
"... collect the magical stones?" Well, you... you have a lofty hobby. Hobbies are often difficult for others to understand."

　I'm trying to mislead her, but there's no mistake that the receptionist thinks Ray's hobby is not common... he's a freak.
