Ray's action was swift after he decided to return to Gilm.
　I can't leave right away today, though, because Kathy says she's going to throw a farewell party.
　What Ray does now is to get ready to go home tomorrow.

"... well, there's nothing particular to say about preparation."

　I had been staying at this house for less than half a month.
　That being the case, there was no way I had any luggage to sort out.
　As is the case with Ray's Dusk Wheat House, Ray has a very useful magic item called Mistilling.
　That's why Ray's rented room doesn't have any luggage or tools to leave around.

"Well, how shall we pass the time till night?" ...should I have stayed in the village a little longer?"

　Ray was worried, but when he saw the situation in the village, he suddenly decided to go back to Gilmoo, so I feel like going now is different.

"I was a little interested in the artifacts that covered the village. It seems to have broken down, but if you bring back the wreckage, someone might be happy to do some research."

　Ray thought it was the twilight spear he had made... and decided to train himself in two spears, thinking that he had nothing to do anyway.





"Huh!"

　With such a cry, the spear of twilight in his left hand penetrates the air.
　Compared to a double‐handed thrust, it's less powerful than a double‐handed thrust.
　Ordinary... it was no match for the thrust of the adventurer in Gorsuch... no, it was a thrust with a sharpness greater than that.
　I can't bring out my right hand's death size with the thrust yet, but it's still worth it if I keep practicing.
　Looking up at the sky with such satisfaction, there is a red sky.
　It was a sight worthy of being called a sunset.

"...what? Huh?"

　If you look around confusedly, you'll find Seto lying on the ground a little by little.
　and, having trained in the double-spear style, I had freed Seth, who had been lying down in the stable as before, and had trained him with that way of training.

"In the evening?"

　mutter involuntarily
　It's only natural that Ray had originally decided to go back to Guilm and came back to August's house around 10 a.m., although he didn't take out his watch.
　It wasn't long after I came back to Augusto's house that I began practicing two spears, talking to them and saying that I had nothing to do after I came back to my room.
　And when Ray took his watch out of the mistling and looked at it, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
　Ray doesn't remember eating lunch, nor, of course, taking any breaks.
　He must have been so focused on practicing the two spears that he forgot the passage of time.
　And remembering that a few hours had passed, they naturally claim to be hungry and their throats seek water.
　We had a farewell party at night, so we decided we should stop eating now, but we couldn't put up with the thirst.
　Ray's body is the product of the Zepyle family's magic, but since he is a living creature, it is essential to replenish.

(No, do you actually get along without drinking water?)

　I'm not going to check it out until I put up with my thirst.
　Besides, if we have a farewell party at night, we'll have something to drink.
　Spread magic on the flowing dagger taken out of the mistling, and take the water directly from it with your mouth.
　...if anyone saw this, it would look like Ray was trying to kill himself by swallowing a dagger.
　It is, however, near the stables of Auguste's house, where only Auguste and Cathy live, and rarely come to see them.
　That's right. It's very rare, and it's not like no one would ever come.

"What are you doing, Ray?"

　What's more, Kathy, who's coming to call for Ray when she's about to start the party, knows exactly how she'll react when she sees her dagger tip in her mouth.

"Huh!? Ng-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-

　Surprised by the sudden call, I almost spouted the water in my mouth for a moment, but I managed to swallow it with patience.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...I thought I was going to die."
"... Oh, my dear fellow.

　Cathy must have finally realized that it was a flowing dagger when she saw the water flowing from the end of the dagger she left her mouth.
　I can only hold my mouth and smile bitterly at my actions.

"Well, Ray, were you all right? I wonder if I spoke to you in a difficult place."

　Ray waves lightly, saying he's OK, to Cathy, who timidly calls out to him.
　In fact, it was obvious that cutting the inside of the mouth with the tip of a dagger was not such a deep wound.

"No problem. I was just a little thirsty and drinking water."
"Really? That would have been good, but..."

　Ray's words give her a moment of relief, and the next moment Kathy looks at Ray with a reproachful glance.
　...not a reproach, but a complete reproach.
　Kathy had previously drank water from a running dagger.
　I can't forget the taste of that time, which can be called the heavenly sweet dew.
　It was therefore unacceptable for Kathy to be drinking the water of a flowing dagger like it is now.
　It's Kathy's perception, however.
　For Ray, any amount of water that comes out of a running dagger can be produced.
　That's why I use it as if I were in Japan.

"Well, that magic item belongs to Ray, so I don't force myself. So now that the party is ready, will you come?"
"Oh, I see,"

　Kathy had only to breathe out a little, perhaps determined that it was no use telling Ray anything about the flowing dagger.
　...if anything, the food might have cooled down if I stayed here for a while.
　I also don't want to waste my time arguing with Ray tomorrow.

"Guru..."

　Seth cries a little lonelyly at Ray.
　I envy Ray, who is going to the party now, and I'm sad to be left alone here at such a fun time.
　That atmosphere had been unleashed by Seto, even though he had no words to say.

"What are you feeling lonely about? This party is a farewell party between Ray and Seto, so naturally Seto will attend?"
"Gururu!"

　"Really!" exclaims happily.
　Seeing Seto, Kathy nods with a smile.

"Yes, of course," Seto-chan is a great customer of our house, isn't he? He's here with Ray, so he won't be the only one who's left out. Shall we go now?"

　As Cathy smiles and tells her, Seto starts walking happily.
　...and Ray appreciates Kathy for caring about her.

"Grull!"

　Seto, who has gone a little further, shrieks at the sight of the immovable Ray.
　What's the matter? The sight of him telling me to go early even seemed like a child delighted by the happy events.
　...however, given the age of Sett's birth, it may well be.
　Cathy goes back into the mansion with a smile on her face.
　Ray also follows Cathy into the mansion.
　Ray thought he was heading to the living room as usual, but Kathy headed to the dining room.Of course it's a mansion of this size, so there's a dining room inside.
　Only Kathy and Auguste lived in this mansion, so they went out of their way to use the living room instead of the dining room.

"Oh? Not in the living room, but over there?"
"Yes. Isn't Seto a little small in the living room?"
"... well, that's..."

　Given the size of the set, it would be possible to enter the living room.
　But the living room itself is not so large.
　If that's the case, we're going to have a farewell party, but we won't be able to enjoy it enough.
　In order to avoid it, the restaurant must have prepared a set that is more than two meters long so that people can fully enjoy it.

"Grull?"

　Noticing that she had caused Kathy trouble, Sett bends her head slightly and turns round eyes at Ray and Kathy.
　Ray tried to apologize to Kathy for that kind of look... he immediately said something else in her face, saying that he wasn't asking for an apology.

"Thank you,"
"Phew, that's all right. We have prepared a variety of dishes, so we must give them a good taste."

　It's because I'm naturally counting Seto as one instead of one... or because I know Seto as a family.
　At any rate, Ray caresses Sett on the head and smiles as he walks down the corridor.
　Cathy smiled at Ray's appearance... and arrived at the dining room.
　Even before he opened the door, Ray and... and even more keenly sniffed, Seto sniffed the appetizing smell that floated out of the dining room.
　Ray, who was practicing double-spirited without eating lunch in particular, was even more hungry.
　Having just a light wipe of the sweat and without the smell of sweat is a blessing in the sense that it doesn't interfere with the smell of the food.

"Welcome to the party!"

　The opening of the door with the words gives off a stronger, appetizing smell than before.
　Like Gorsuch, there are many dishes that use a lot of spices.
　It wasn't, but it was so gorgeous that I didn't think we were having a party today, and then we made it with the menu in mind.
　Even if you live a simple life, you are willing to spend money on cooking.
　Given Kathy's culinary skills, those dishes should definitely have been considered superb.

"Here you are,"
"I held a party like this. Are you really going home now? I think I can stay a little longer."

　August and Gunther were waiting in the room.
　Originally, Gunther didn't want to go out with a party like this, but he couldn't have refused when he was asked to attend the August.
　As an Augusto, I wanted to call Zaroust if possible, but since he is in a village of a hundred faces, there is nothing I can do about it.
　No, if Sett wanted to, he could fly in the air and bring her in minutes.
　Auguste knew for years that Zarroost would not give up his job.
　Daridra and her bodyguards would probably come if they were called.
　But joining hands with Dharidra is only temporary to a hundred faces.
　Once the matter is cleared up, Dallidra will naturally step up her interference with August again.
　You can't naturally enjoy a party with someone like that.
　Ray's departure means we may never see each other again.
　Of course, if you really want to see each other, you will be able to meet them by going all the way to Gilm.
　However, there is no way that such an imitation can be easily done.
　It's not difficult for Seto to come all the way to Gorsuch, but it's also difficult considering Ray's ability.

(That's probably why Kathy is trying to put up with crying, and laugh and break up.)

　Let out a small sigh and change your mind immediately.
　hand the glass on the table to Ray
　I've heard that you don't like drinking, so tea is in the glass.
　Seto prepares soup instead of drinks, and Augusto, Cathy and Gunther pick up alcohol.
　and it was only natural that he spoke on behalf of those present.
　Just a little... opening his mouth with a glass in his hand, looking just a little lonely.

"Well, I wish Ray and Sett a new journey and the prosperity of everyone at this party... cheers!"
"Cheers!"

　With the words, everyone picks up the glass and hits it lightly.
　... Ray reaches out to cook as soon as he drinks tea.
　Seto has a taste of food.
　In the meantime, we talked about each other's memories, albeit briefly... and thus the last night of Ray's Gorsuch was fun, but somewhat sad.
