The day after he failed to learn his skills from Sandlizzardman's magic stone... Ray was again in Gorsuch.
　After failing to master the skills, he spent the night with Seto, fiddling with them a little bit, and in the morning he saw Zaroust and Narcus awake before returning to Ghosh.
　"Also, for breakfast, I left the food in Ray's misty ring at random."
　There was food in the village of a hundred men, but it's only natural that they don't want to eat the food in the village of the assassins.
　Ray has plenty of food in his Mistyling, if he can't afford it.
　There is also a story that assassins become resistant to poison by ingesting small quantities of poison, so it was understandable that they would like to refrain from thinking about it in that way.
　As a result, Ray gave me a few sandwiches as he wanted. . . .

(I didn't think he would be so pleased.)

　Walking through the streets of Gorsuch, towards the edge... towards the Auguste estate, I remember the delight of Zarst and Narcus when they saw the sandwich.
　Even if it's a sandwich, it's different from what's eaten in Gorsuch.
　That's quite the difference in the quality of the bread compared to the sandwiches eaten in Gorsuch.
　In addition, many gorsuchs contain a lot of spices.
　Sandwich sold in guillem must have felt like a completely different dish to Zarroost and Narcus, who were accustomed to eating such sandwiches.
　Sandwich sold normally in Guillum...however, it's a lot better than other shops, as Ray buys a lot and keeps it in the mistling.
　Anyway, Ray was surprised to find such a delight in a regular sandwich.
　For Ray, there were many unique dishes sold in Gorsuch, all of which he thought were delicious.
　The reason why Zarroost and Narcus were pleased, however, is that it was a rare sandwich.
　Many people say that it is better to eat something familiar if you eat it normally, let alone if you eat it once in a while.
　Walking with such thoughts in mind, you'll eventually arrive at the house you're looking for.
　Compared to last night's visit, the number of guards had decreased.
　It won't have anything to do with the Ray's devastation of the village of a hundred faces.
　Still, considering that there were still a hundred other faces in the Gorsuch, I left some bodyguards behind...

"Oh, Ray. Seth, too." It was quite early."

　Gunther, the gatekeeper of Auguste's house, greets Ray and Sett lightly.
　It's not long since the bell rang at six o'clock in the morning, so it's no wonder that Günther would call out.
　But Ray shrugs his shoulders and opens his mouth to such a gunter.

"Is that so? The residents of Gorsuch get up early in the morning, right? I think it's normal."

　Ray's words were undeniably true.
　Deserts where gosh exists are hot in the daytime and cold at night.
　In other words, it is more efficient to act in a cool morning than to act in the daytime.
　So, in a way, it's only natural that the temperature is still cool in the morning.
　Ray wears a dragon robe, and neither heat nor cold is affected at all, so time doesn't matter.
　Having such brief conversations, Ray walks through the gate with Sett.
　Without a word, Sett heads to the stable and Ray enters the mansion.
　There were guards in the house, but they seemed to be fewer than they had been last night.
　And while listening to the guards, Ray headed for the dining room.
　At first I thought it would be better to wait until the meal was over, but as we were talking in front of the dining room, Auguste appeared and pulled Ray in.
　There Augusto, Cathy, Dallidra and Dallidra's bodyguards are having breakfast together.

"Oh? It was a long time ago.

　The first person to notice Ray was not the bodyguard... but the Dalidra.
　He looks a little surprised as he looks at Ray.
　Is it the power of Cathy's cooking that her nervous expression doesn't feel so nervous now?
　For Kathy, however, Dallidra is by no means a welcome partner.
　We are now in the same boat about the hundred men, but Kathy never forgot that Dhalidra used a bandit to target August.
　I'm sure Dari Dora knows that. I was spending my time in this mansion, mindful of August and Kathy.

"Oh, it's only a few minutes from the village to Gorsuch with Sett." It takes more time to walk here after entering Gorsuch."
"I envy you".

　As they talk like that, Ray is naturally pulled into a chair by Cathy.

"Well, it's all very well, so you'll have to live on it. You were tired yesterday, weren't you?"

　The breakfast is half-forcefully prepared and Ray can't refuse it.
　Ray, however, only had a light sandwich for breakfast with Zarroost and Narcus, so it's as easy as this if you want to.

"And, Mr. Ray," As I said yesterday, after this...
"I know. We're always ready. What's your preparation?"
"Yes, there's no problem," It was a joint venture with Mr. Auguste."

　Daridra's eyes, with a stew spoon on them, turn to August.
　That alone opens Augusto's mouth with a smile, wondering if he understood what Dalidra meant.

"I'm quite involved in this case, There's also the Tilla tree. It's only natural to send people to the village."
"... I see,"

　Come to think of it, Ray, who was in a state of ecstasy about the hundred faces, but still had things to do with the tirah tree and the walls of Gorsuch...
　But I stopped talking about it because it was already a matter of Gorsuch.

"Well, I understand. Then, shall we go as soon as we're ready? Fortunately...

　Ray turns to Dallidra for a moment, but continues with a slightly nasty smile.

"There are sandboats, too. It's faster than travelling in a carriage, and it's all right to have a certain number of people."

　Daridra frowns at the word sandboat for a moment.
　Originally, it was his own property, but in name only, it was taken back by Ray, who had already taken ownership of it from Dallidra.
　That being the case, there's no way I can say anything... Also, if I say something here, it's ruined even though my relationship with Ray is improving through August.
　Therefore, there is no way I can say anything here.
　Daridra opens her mouth to mislead a little bit of awkwardness.

"I would like to go to the village of a hundred men, but I need to settle with Mr. Liebrand about the matter. So I'm afraid I won't be able to see the village a little longer."

　Daridra's joking words lightened the mood of the worse.





　When the meal is over, each party begins to prepare.
　Augusto and Dallidra each prepare their men to go to the village of the Hundred Men, Kathy prepares a lunch box, and Ray wanders around the city with Seto before heading to the front gate.
　Despite having just had breakfast, Ray buys food at the stall and eats it with Seto, and buys more delicious food and stores it in a mistling.
　Until a little while ago, many were reluctant to sell because they were hostile to Dallidra, but now Ray's reluctance to sell has disappeared, partly because of the fact that August, who is more accurately recognized as his employer, is working with him.

(It was yesterday that we began to cooperate in every way, but the information is pretty fast. Well, as a merchant, it may well be.)

　While eating skewers of animals called goats, Ray is amazed at the breadth and speed of the merchant's information network.

"Give me thirty more skewers."
"... to?"
"It's all right, there's no problem."
"Yes, sir. If you pay me, I won't complain."

　Pay the owner the price of 30 skewers, and store the skewers in a mistling.Ray leaves the store after storing it, looking at the storekeeper with a look of amazement.
　The skewers were somewhat sensitive to the smell of the meat, but they were still cooked with spices so that they didn't bother me as much as possible.
　Meat, or soft meat lovers, may not like it very much, but Ray doesn't dislike chewy meat either.

(If you had a little more cooking skills, you might be able to change the flavor of the meat with spices rather than removing the smell of the meat.)

　carry the last meat of a skewer in one's hand into one's mouth
　Seth seemed to like lamb meat, rubbing her head against Ray for more.

"All right, all right. There's only one more?"

　I just took out a skewer from my mistling and gave it to Seto.
　When you manipulate kuchibashi skillfully and put the skewer meat in your mouth at once, Seto enjoys the taste of the meat with a happy throat.
　Just as Ray had breakfast at Auguste's house, so had Seto, of course, taken to the stable.
　But before Seto's appetite, he was only eating and drinking -- after breakfast.
　Such a fun time will come to an end when there are no shops around that sell food, such as stalls.
　As we approach the main gate, we see merchants trying to finish their errands in Gorsuch and head out to other villages and towns, and adventurers going outside to ask for work.
　When they reached near the main gate, they found a group of people.
　It goes without saying to Ray what kind of group it is.
　In the first place, I came back to Gorsuch to take this group to the village of a hundred faces.

"Mr. Ray, this way!"

　One of August's men shouted so as soon as he saw Ray.
　He was in the merchant force when he was rescued from being attacked by Sand Serpent, and in that sense Ray has known him for a long time since he came to Gorsuch.
　...though it's not a month since Ray came to Gorsuch, so it's not much different from the others.
　She approaches such acquaintances with Seto.

"Are you all ready yet?"
"Yes, we can start at once. The cab is ready, too."

　Behind the man's eyes was the figure of a carriage drawn by a yoke.
　Five cars in number.

"... quite a few,"

　A woman in her twenties, who was next to the first man to speak to, muttered as she looked at many carriages.

"That can't be helped," I'm heading for a place where I don't know what's going to happen. We must allow some leeway, including food. ...Oh, I'm sorry. You're late to greet me. My name is Nena, and I work for Mr. Dallidra."

　bow one's head with a smile on one's face
　Then her glossy black hair sparkles in the sun.
　An ordinary man could well admire Nena's good looks.
　She's the woman that Dallidra prepared to make Ray feel even a little better.
　But... unfortunately, Ray knows three rare beauties in the sense of beauty: Elena, Vihela and Marina.
　Compared to the three, Nena is not so beautiful as to be captivated...
　Ray's behavior must have hurt her pride as a woman. show a little dissatisfaction
　But soon the expression disappears and the party goes out of Gorsuch.
　A group of nearly thirty people in all will soon go out, wondering if the process had been done before Ray came.
　Ray, too, goes through the process quickly with Sett and heads out of Gorsuch.
　He went to a place where the people who went to the village of a hundred faces were gathered... and, with all the attention, he took the sandboat out of the mistling.
