Hearing the report, Dusker breathes deeply.
　If you look at the window, there is a soft moon and a cloudless night sky.
　The beautiful night sky is the exact opposite of the troubles in the dusker.
　Dusker, looking at the sky at night, breathes again and turns his eyes to his men in front of his desk.

"Not to mention the goblins and the covolts, but the oaks and the lizardmen are a nuisance."
"Yes. Fortunately, only human monsters are swarming around, so I wonder if we can still cope with it."
"... I suppose,"

　Monsters naturally come in a variety of other forms, such as animal forms, undeads, and inorganic substances.
　However, all the people who flocked in this uproar were monsters, who should be called human beings.
　That's why we've managed to deal with it, so if other monsters are supposed to be swarming, they might not have been able to handle it.

"Well, if our knights and adventurers work together, we'll do something will happen. What is the cause of this? Even if it is possible to deal with it temporarily, if it lasts forever, you will not have enough strength."

　Dusker said something natural, but suddenly he saw one person and one person without such common sense.
　The man who also made a great achievement in today's battle against the goblin herd.

"Ray? I'll have to thank him properly one of these days."
"Well, it's a big loss in many ways to lose a skilled adventurer like him from Gilm."

　His men murmured deeply at Dusker's words.
　Considering what Ray has done since he appeared in Gilm, there are many things that could be called problematic behavior, but there are more benefits than that.
　the pure fighting power of Ray's individual, and the power of the demon Seto
　Other than that, the new dish that Ray brought to Japan has become a specialty of guillem.
　Seto has also become a symbol of Guillum -- in a mascot sense -- and some data suggest that minor crimes such as fighting have decreased since Ray and Sett came to Guillum.

(It was a little unbelievable when I first heard that Seto's loveliness had soothed me less irritation, and that as a result, the number of fights had decreased.)

　Dusker didn't believe the story at first, but he couldn't deny it if he could show it in real life.
　I've also heard that Ray and Sett have brought about increased sales of stores...especially food stores.
　As a lord of Guilm, I have no complaints about the briskness of business.
　Other than that, I've heard that feathers and hairs in Sett's stables are very useful as materials for alchemy, and that alchemy in the whole of Gilm has improved.
　Dusker understood that he could never make such a rough deal with Ray and Sett, because he also earned a variety of other benefits, large and small.

(Moreover, Princess Vihela... no, the former princess, and even Marina, the guildmaster, are fond of Ray. Are they born under the stars that attract beautiful women, called the princess general Elena? Well, they are all quite unique.)

　It was a mixed feeling, especially for Dasker, that even Marina was fond of Ray.
　I'd like to forget that Marina is my first love. ... on the contrary, when I was a child, I even proposed to her.
　Of course, I don't feel that way about Marina now, but I still felt that way.
　When I think back to that time, I feel like crying on the bed with my head in my arms.

"Mr. Dusker?"

　A wistful Dasker comes to himself in the voice of his men.
　This wasn't the time to think about the memories I wanted to forget or the unique people that were gathering under Ray.

"So why did all the subhuman monsters suddenly create a superior species, each forming a herd? Why?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm asking the scholars to look into it, and I'm inquiring with Mr. Marina, the guildmaster."
"...I see,"

　For a moment, Dusker is breathtaking at the mention of the Dark Elf's name, which only came to mind a few seconds ago.
　Still, it may be his ability as lord of this guillem that soon managed to conceal his surprise...or his agitation.
　This guillem, as originally located in the frontier, can be any number of surprises.
　It is very difficult to make a living as a lord in guillem if you show your agitation to a degree of surprise.

"Anyway, we can do anything about it as it stands. But besides the goblins heading towards Gilm, there are also groups of goblins, and as monsters, there are more capable monsters than goblins. I can't relax very much when I think about it."

　It's not coming to Gillum now, but if even a flock of other monsters come to Gillum together, the damage to Gillum will be severe even if they don't lose.

(However, the reason why there was so much fuss today was because of the sudden attack during the day. If you understand from the beginning that there is such a group of monsters, you can prepare a high-ranking adventurer.)

　That's why Dusker didn't take it so seriously.
　Of course, that doesn't mean we underestimate the current situation.
　That's why we're inquiring about how we can manage the current situation.

"Yes. I'm always ready to send the knights and guards tonight."

　Understanding what his men said, Dusker began to consider how things were going to be any better.





　The next morning, Ray finished his usual breakfast in the canteen and was heading to the guild with Vihela and Seto.
　But the atmosphere around the city was distinctly unusual.
　Many people gather and talk to each other throughout the city.

"It's changed a great deal in just one day,"
"...well, let alone the goblins, other monsters are swarming. It's no use thinking about it."
"Guru..."

　Seto, who was looking around, chants anxiously.
　I'm not worried about my own danger, I'm worried about who always cares about me... and who's feeding me.
　Since he has a friendly personality, it's only natural to think that his close partner might be worried.

(An ordinary monster probably wouldn't look like this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Suddenly, Vihela, watching Seto, mutters inwardly, remembering the explanation she heard from Ray yesterday.
　Monsters created by witchcraft don't necessarily take over the personality of their magical powers... but they're still somewhat influenced.

(If Ray was this friendly, that would be a problem.)

　Ray's features are originally so neat that it's almost like a woman's face.
　Still, Ray's lack of favor among the unspecified is probably a matter of his own character.
　Even if the other person is a nobleman, he refuses to refuse.
　On the contrary, it's not unusual to even touch.
　Not many people can fall deeply in love with Ray.
　For Vihela, it was not something to be saddened by, but something to be thankful for in the sense that she had few rivalries in love.
　Elena and other lovers are not easy partners, though.

(Should I have learned a little more feminine things like cooking and sewing?)

　Vihela understood that she was well-featured, and that she had a masculine body.
　That is why I thought it wouldn't be difficult to win over someone I loved, but I never thought that there would be people who would be as beautiful or as physically fit as they were.
　I've already heard from Elena that it should be more than one woman who is bound by Ray, but I guess what she wants to be the most is her instinct as a woman.

"Vihela? What's wrong?"

　As I walk thinking about it, I suddenly come to myself with Ray's voice walking next to me.

"No, it's nothing," I was just thinking for a moment."
"Are there any powerful monsters?"
"Oh, if I'm thinking about something, it's going to be a battle? I wonder if that's why you think I'm worried about something like delicious food or pretty clothes."
"... well, it's Vihela,"

　The words that Ray uttered would have been understandable if they were his usual violas.
　But unlike before, Vihela was worried about femininity until just a few seconds ago.That's why it wouldn't be funny if Ray told me that he wasn't feminine now.

"Yes, sir," I'm afraid I'm not feminine. I'm sorry."
"Vihela?"

　Vihela reacts sensitively to words that would otherwise have been laughed off.
　When Ray calls, he doesn't reply, leaving Ray there to walk.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Grull?"

　Ray scratches his head in a bit of trouble when Seto looks worried, asking, "Did you make him angry.

"Why am I angry? ... I often said women's hearts and autumn skies."

　I look up at the sky literally, but it's a huge entrance cloud, which, if not very much, cannot be called the autumn sky.
　It was, to all appearance, a summer sky.
　Ray had been looking up at the sky for a few seconds, but suddenly he caught his gaze and saw Vihela stop moving and stare at him.

"What are you doing?" You're going to the guild, aren't you? Let's not look up here, let's go quickly."
"... oh,"

　I can't understand women's hearts and autumn sky after all.
　That's how Ray chases Vihela with Seto.





"It's much quieter than yesterday,"
"Well, if you know there's a flock of goblins, you've got to do something about it."

　Viehla nods in agreement to Ray muttering around her.
　Viehera now had a small smile on her face, perhaps after walking to the guild a little by little.
　However, Ray thought the biggest reason for his temper was that he still imagined a powerful monster flock.
　Vichela, who loves fighting, probably feels the opposite of the usual reluctance to fight powerful monsters.

(Well, powerful monsters usually get rare material, and it's not just people who don't want to meet powerful monsters.)

　Well, for adventurers who are confident in their power, powerful monsters are gold and silver coins... white coins, even light ones, if they are the material of a very rare monster.
　However, that's only on the assumption that you have the ability to beat the monster.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," Mr. Vihela, too. He came at the right time. What would you like to do about the group?"

　Lenora, who finds Ray and Vihela, calls out to her.
　Lenora seemed to be usually full of energy, but she was tired from the hard work she had done since yesterday.
　It's the same with Kenny, who's interacting with other adventurers a little further away, and he doesn't seem to have noticed Ray yet.

(That's how tired you must be from yesterday.)

　Ray sees Kenny for a second, but immediately turns his eyes back to Lenora.

"And where did you ask for the nomination, and what?"
"From the Knights," The fact is that a flock of lizardmen is a little far from the guillem, and I hope they will be investigated and... annihilated if possible."

　When Ray and Vichela hear Lizzardman, they react together.
　Vichela's case is likely to be able to fight against powerful monsters, and Ray's case is likely to be able to obtain the magic stone of Lizardman's leader.

"What shall I do?"
"It's fixed, isn't it?

　In that brief exchange, they confirm each other's intentions... Ray and Vihela decide to accept the request.
　Ray had a lot of thoughts on Vichela, who was completely in a good mood... that's another story.
