When Ray entered the mansion, he was led to the guest room, separated from Seto at the entrance.
　Separating at the entrance, Seto told Mebastian to feed the estate properly, not feed them... and by now he should have eaten a little earlier than Ray.
　In this case, was it the one who was told to feed Seto?
　for a man who was not as bold as Mebastian was afraid of... seeing the Gryphon up close, and was afraid of it.
　...and ask a cook in the service of the Earl of Salmouth, and he will cook several dishes and carry them under the cet.
　The chefs who had to cook for Seto, busy preparing for the Reubrand and Ray dinner, would have been the busiest people in the estate right now.

"Well..."

　Ray is a little surprised when Mebastian tells his maid to bring him tea.
　The reason why I thought it was definitely ordinary tea was because when I tasted it, it tasted a little spicy.
　For a moment I thought it was poison or something, but soon I knew it was some kind of spice.
　Ray doesn't know much about cooking, so I don't know what the spice is called.
　However, the tea, which gives a subtle pungency, has a rich taste of milk after the pungency.

(When I was in Japan, I saw Indian milk tea called Chai on TV. Is it similar? But it's a desert like this. It's not milk, it's not milk, it's milk from other animals... or it's milk from monsters.)

　I was surprised at the first bite, but after two or three mouthfuls, I found it surprisingly palatable to Ray.
　And while drinking something similar to chai, they eventually knock on the door of the room.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Dinner is ready. Mr. Liubrand is calling."
"All right,"

　Rey nods to Mebastian's words and stands up from the sofa she was sitting on.
　For a moment I wondered if I could dress as I was, but I thought again that I was dressed as I was to meet Dusker, the lord of Gilm.

"Then show me around,"
"Here it is,"

　Mebastian bows and leaves the room with Ray.
　We went down the aisle for a few minutes, and then stopped in front of one room.
　Compared to the guest room, the reason why it has a big door is probably because it is a room where we eat.
　Ray thinks, looking at the door one size larger than the cabin door... or two sizes larger than the cabin door.
　The door must be large for dining with a large crowd of guests or for bringing in large plates of food.
　Then, perhaps from the stream that reminded me of Dusker, I recall the door of his office.
　a gorgeous door that can be called a work of art by itself
　It was a door that would frighten Ray to knock, but those who serve Dusker must be used to it. He reached out to the door without any hesitation.
　Thinking that way into what seemed to be a dining room, I found that my expectation was just right.
　There is a large rectangular table with a man sitting on the edge of the table.
　a man of medium build and height in his forties
　At first Ray saw the man and didn't think he was a rebrand.
　For better or worse, many of the aristocrats Ray has met are unique in many ways.
　There was also something impressive about it, even if it wasn't that unique.
　But... there's nothing so impressive about Ray's eyes right now.
　a characteristic of lack of character

(Is this really a Liu brand? I don't think he's a shadow warrior, right?

　Ray had doubts like that, but I don't think he would use shadow warriors in a small country like Sollein, let alone in a country like the Kingdom of Mileana.

(So is this the real one? No, but... what's going on here?)

　Liubrand opens his mouth to Ray, who is unsure whether the person in front of him is real or not.

"Is your lord Ray?" He's a notorious adventurer. I'm glad to see your master. Come on, sit down. Let's have lunch a little earlier."

　There are a number of dishes at the end of Liu Brand's eyes.
　Especially noticeable would be the fish caught in oasis.
　It is a very valuable ingredient in this Gorsuch, but it is probably because of his position as lord of the Gorsuch that it is so easy to prepare.

(Well, Auguste also prepared fish, and it's not a price that ordinary people can't afford at all.)

　Watching steamed fish, Ray sits in a chair as recommended by Liubrand.

"I have a lot of information about your master here. He would defeat sand serpents and bandits with sandboats, and he would defeat sand lizard men. He's notorious, and he seems to be quite a good hand at it."

　After a little hesitation about how to speak to the person in front of him, he responds politely -- for Ray, but for him -- in a tone of discretion.

"Fortunately, I have a good partner,"
"Oh, I see," Gryphon sounds like a wonderful monster. ...what do you think? I hear that the Gryphon is a slave of the Lord. Are you willing to give it away?"

　I wonder for a moment if that's why I invited myself, but there's no greed in Liubrand's eyes.
　They want it, but I don't think they want it from the bottom of their hearts.

(What's this? I've never seen him before.) What's going on?)

　Ray was suspicious, but that doesn't mean he's going to follow Liubrand's suggestion here.

Unfortunately, Seto is a monster who has grown up with me since I was little. In other words, my friend... or family. Does Mr. Liubrand give his family to anyone who wants it?"
"I will,"
"I suppose so," I mean, me too... what?"

　When Ray says, "Slip," Ray turns his eyes to Liubrand.
　Reubrand continues to say things like, "What amazes you?" in response to Ray's gaze.

"You know, aristocrats are more concerned with the existence of the house than the individual. That won't change for me either. That's why he married a wife ten years older than him."
"...not worth it?"

　Reubrand shrugs his shoulders with a small smile as he tells her that if they are married, it's OK to have a wife or child in this restaurant.

"My wife and son are going to Lanide on business."
"... Lanide?"

　It was an unfamiliar word, but Ray decided from it that it must be somewhere in the city, and now Liubrand looks surprised.

"Don't you know? It's the capital of Sollein."
"Oh... Come to think of it, I think I've heard of it."

　Stretching a fork into a steamed fish, concealing embarrassment, as I heard from Marina...
　a lightly white fish that melts softly in the mouth with plenty of spices
　"It's definitely a dish that can be described as delicious enough.

(Cathy is a better cook.)

　Cathy's dishes at Auguste's house definitely tasted better.

(In this case, should I praise Kathy, who is better at cooking than the master cook of the lord's house... but in Kathy's case, even if I praise her, it is the power of love?)Ray smiles a little bitterly at the heat he's shown so many times.
　Liubrand then opens his mouth, wondering what he thought of Ray's wry smile.

"What's the matter with that steamed fish dish? It's quite a luxury item in this gosh. Of course, it may not be so special to Ray, who lived in the Kingdom of Milliana, but... didn't he like it?"
"No, it's delicious. It was not until I came to Gorsuch that I could eat fish that lived in Oasis."

　That remark is by no means false.
　The fish Ray has been eating are basically river fish. And it's a marine fish bought in the port city of Emosion.
　I grew up in an oasis because it was the first time I had eaten fish served in August's house.

(I've never eaten fish like a lake, but is it like this?)

　That's how Ray suddenly thought, but before he could move on, Liubrand spoke.

"I see," I'd be very happy if you could say so. I would normally serve more elaborate dishes, but this time it was a surprise."
"Well, that's for sure,"

　Mebastian came to see Ray and that's why he came to this lord's house.
　With that in mind, it's fair to say that Ray cooked so much in the first few hours of his visit to the estate.

(if that is the case, Kathy took the time to cook, and I think Kathy is better than the cook here.)

　In Liubrand's words, Ray learns he was mistaken.
　I don't think everyone can cook better than this if they take time, but if they still have a certain level of skill set.
　Ray came to the lord's house and was kept waiting in his cabin not long.
　If in the meantime you've cooked a number of different dishes from steamed fish to stew, stir-fried food, salad with vegetables and fruits, it's definitely first class.
　Once again, when I'm tasting the dishes in front of me, Liubrand, who was looking at them with satisfaction, suddenly opens his mouth.

"Now, Ray, I have called your lord because I wanted to see a notorious adventurer, but for other reasons."
"...reason?"

　It's like cooking some meat in oil... Reubrand nods back to Ray, who asks him, sandwiching a dish between breads that can be called an oil sardine.

"Oh, your lord has only been here for a few days, but he has become relatively famous. Do you understand that?"
"Well,"

　He made the Gryphon Sett a demon, and was friendly with Augusto, who was hostile to the powerful Erema Chamberlain in Gorsuch, and even seized the sandboat that he had. Although it is nominally taken from the bandits.
　I'm Gorsuch... it was only natural that I should be talked about in a city not as big as Gilm, although it's relatively big in the country of Sollein.
　Few people have seen Ray's ability, but he is certain to exist, such as those who have been escorted by Auguste along with Zarroost and the four of his dusty nails.
　And, above all, Ray is probably the talk of the town.
　The existence of a glyphon had such a strong impact.

"Let's hear it directly. Is it against you to plant the Tilla tree around Gorsuch to protect against monsters?"
"What? Why did you suddenly say that?"

　Of course, Ray knows he's split now over whether to fix the wall with this gosh or use the tiller tree to protect against monsters.
　It's split in two, though it's overwhelmingly dominant as long as Dharidra agrees with the use of the Tilla tree.
　Nevertheless, if you say that the force that uses Auguste's support for the wall is powerless, that's not the case.
　Besides Augusto, there are other independent entities that are somewhat beyond the reach of the Elima business.
　Along with them Augusto was rightly outnumbered by his opposition to the use of the Tilla tree.
　But what happens if a Ray-like presence like Ray joins us.
　It's not just pure fighting power, it's going to take away even topicality.
　That was far from acceptable for Liubrand, who is working with Dallidra.
　Ray thinks a little about Liubrand staring at him.
　I was wondering if I could be involved in this Gorsuch affair.
　Marina encouraged me to come here, so I always thought there was a reason, but I don't know if this is the case. I don't know, so...

"I don't know for now,"

　That's the answer.
