As they enter the office, Mireneu, Sulnin and Eclil find themselves on the sofa.

"Ray!? Huh? Why are you here? Vihela too..."

　The first person to cry out surprise was, of course, the Mire Dog.
　I found Ambrice and reported her to the guild, so I was called to the guildmaster's office... and for some reason there were Ray and Vihela.
　It's only natural to be surprised.

"Did you find Ambrice?"

　Ray exclaims, apparently unconcerned by the surprise of the Mire Dog.
　That kind of voice must have brought him back to life. Mileine opens her mouth with a proud look on her face.

"Hmm, you didn't forget your promise to me, did you? I promise to let you spend the day with Seto if you find Ambrice."
"Ah... yes. Well, that's fine, but...

　If Seto hates Miredogs, that's not the case.
　No, Ning, Sett even had a great affection for the Mire Dog.
　While Seto has been involved with a number of other people, Mileine will undoubtedly be among the top favorites.
　an attack on an oak settlement that took place not long after Ray and Sett came to Gilm.
　Seeing Sett at that time, Mileine has since acted in a way that could be described as Sett's.
　He caresses, he caresses, he feeds... he adores himself like that, so there's no way he hates Miredogs.
　Ray wouldn't turn it down unless he had some special reason -- urgent requests, etc. -- to say he wanted to be with Seto all day.
　But the problem in this case is not that.

(I suppose a day with Seto is very important to the Mire Dog.)

　In terms of love of Seto, there is also a rival of Johanna, a former squadron.
　Mileine's aim is probably not bad in terms of distinction from such opponents.
　Ray gently turns away from the expectant eye of the Miller is looking at him with expectant eyes.
　Vichela, right in front of her, gently diverts her gaze away, and Marina similarly diverts her gaze.
　After being abandoned by the two, Ray opens his mouth, wondering what to say.

"Miraine ... why do you think we're here?"
"What? That's... why?"
"No, there's no way you'll know if I ask you,"

　Although he was the brightest dog in the party, Sulnin naturally didn't know why Ray was here.
　It's a little known fact that Ray and Marina, the guildmaster, have a close relationship.
　That's why Surnin couldn't understand why they were here.
　Even so, considering the recent circumstances of Gilmoo, there is nothing unexpected.

"Well, did anything happen about Ambrice?"
"Correct. ...but things are getting a little complicated."

　Marina's words, exhaling, draw the gaze of the three men in a blazing wind.
　Marina opens her mouth, looking to Ray for an explanation.

"Rays have found Ambrice, too. I've not only found it, but I've also succeeded in knocking it down."
'What!'

　The mouths of the Miredogs leak with astonishment.
　And the three of us who look at the magpies and Ray.
　I couldn't believe I had knocked Ambrice down, but I was wondering if it was Ray.
　Miller dogs are well aware of how substandard Ray is.

"Really?"

　As a matter of course, I asked Milaine fearfully.
　The fear in my mind, however, is that I might not have had a day with Sett for finding Ambris.
　However, Ray nods back to such a Millerine.
　The expression on the face of the Mire Dog, which was easily nodded, was filled with despair.

"Don't worry, it's true that I found Ambrice, so I won't take that bet for granted. No, it is safe to say that it was saved."
"...what? Is that okay?"

　Surely, Ray didn't expect to allow a day with Seto so easily. The Mire Dog turns an unexpected look at Ray.
　Ray nods that there's no problem with that kind of stare.
　In fact, the information brought by the Miredogs is very significant.
　They thought they had beaten Ambrice, but she was still there.
　This is because Ray couldn't defeat Ambris... more accurately, but in fact, it may have survived by imitation, but there is another possibility. I mean...

(Isn't there only one Ambrice?)

　Ray muttered bitterly, but the time passed without knowing anything, and it was much better than to be informed that Ambrice had reappeared at a later date.
　Such thoughts were felt by Vichela and Marina as well as by Surnin, who heard that Ray had defeated Ambrice.

"You knocked Ambrice down... that is, what we saw was another Ambrice?"

　Marina nods to Sulnin, who asks her confirmation.

"Yes. The Ambris that Ray knocked down and the Ambris that you found are likely to be different individuals. Perhaps, given the time when you discovered Ambrice."

　Not surprisingly, the Miredogs do not have watches.
　The fact that I found Ambrice about three hours ago came only from my physical experience.
　However, since they are still working as up-and-coming Rank C parties, there should have been no error in hours, even if there were some errors.
　Still, Sulnin, a veteran wizard, has a keen sense of time because he is a veteran.

"...it's troublesome,"

　Sulnin muttered, and so nodded Mileinu and Ekrill, who must have understood the situation.
　Miredogs are usually called Seto-first, but of course they are party leaders with a scorching wind, so they wear them when they need to.

"Yes. After Ray knocked Ambrice down, there was something strange about it, so I thought it couldn't have ended like this... it's really troubling."

　Marina with melancholy eyes shook her head, saying that it was not the time for her to lose her eyes for a moment.

"So, what are you going to do? No, since Ambrice's presence is only a threat to Gilm, I understand that the only option is to defeat Ambrice."

　Yes, Sulnin asks Marina.
　Being a guildmaster, Marina had to answer.

"You'll have to knock him down." I understand how difficult it is."

　Ambrice's ability to make subhuman monsters a leader species is very troubling.
　If there is more than one such being, the risk is higher.
　As guildmaster of Guillum and, above all, as a resident of Guillum, I could never leave Ambrice alone.

"But how do you knock it down? It took Ray to knock it down after the guildmaster expected Ambrice to be there, right?"

　Mileine's words are questionable, but there is no sign of resignation.
　As a resident of Gilm, it was impossible for the Miller Dogs to leave Ambris alone.
　...but most of the reasons why I can't give up are that I can't spend the day with Seto at this rate.Now that Ray has given me permission to spend the day with Seto, I can never back down in order to keep that blissful moment.

(You don't have the time to have a relaxing day with Seto, if Ambrice remains active)

　A flightable set is a very important force in terms of looking for Ambris.
　That being the case, it was imperative that the Ambris case be resolved in order to have the best day of Mileine's life.
　It's like a Mireinu to finally solve the Ambris case for Seto.

"How do I find it... Well, I'm afraid I have no choice but to find it by the same art of warfare as before." If I could find any characteristic smell or magical powers, I suppose I could look for them."
"Is there any magic item to look for? Guillum's alchemists have some high skills?"
"I've already asked you," ...but it's not that easy to make magic items that look for Ambris in situations where there's no clue. If this were at least some remnants... Ray?"

　Marina stops talking along the way and turns to Ray.
　Yes, Ray beat Ambrice once. If so, there could have been some remnants of Ambrice left.
　Several corpses have been brought in by Ambris, such as those in goblins and covolts.
　That's not uncommon for dozens of them to be brought in a day.
　That's how active Ambris is, but we couldn't get what we could call the remnants of Ambris from them.
　No, it may have taken more time to get a clue to Ambris, but even if Ambris is involved, it has already been a long time since he left, so it is impossible to find what we call pure Ambris remnants.
　But... Ray knocked down Ambrice's body directly. If so, I suspect there are remnants of the unaltered ambrice.
　At Marina's thought, Ray bows his head, not knowing what he's being asked for.
　Realizing that Ray doesn't understand her point, Marina opens her mouth to confirm.

"How did you knock Ambrice down, Ray?"
"Why... cut Ambris, who had been attached to Warwolf, with a death-size sword, and pierced him with a spear of twilight."
"...can you give me a death-size?"
"Do you like the spear of twilight?"
"Yes. First of all, just a death size."

　At Marina's request, Ray nods back without any hesitation.
　There would have been some hesitation if someone else asked me to show you my death size.
　This time, however, Marina has requested it.
　Ray had no intention of denying it.
　Death-size, taken out of the mistling, appears in the office.
　Miller dogs and other members of the scorching wind have seen many weapons that can be called Ray's symbol.
　However, when it was taken out again in the room, I was still overwhelmed by its size.
　How do you move a death size bigger than Ray's with that little body?
　Marina stands up from her chair and approaches Ray with a death-size hand, regardless of the scorching winds.
　Staring at a giant blade, he opens his mouth.

"Hey, Ray. May I borrow your death size?"
"...it depends on how long." Even if I were to look for Ambris, my strength would be greatly reduced if I didn't have a death size."

　Ray's style of battle has been transformed into a double-spirited style by acquiring the spear of twilight.
　Still at the heart of the battle is the death-size of a magical engine, enabling the use of skills.
　Without that death size, Ray's strength could be halved.
　Death size was a must, especially as we now deal with Ambris.

"Well... I don't know about that until I ask the alchemist, but if things go well, it might take a few minutes."
"If you attacked Ambrice, is the spear of twilight no good?"

　Vihela asks, listening to Ray and Marina's conversation.

"I don't know. Given their ability as magic items, twilight spears are quite high-level magic items, but their death sizes are incomparable. If there were any remnants of Ambrice left, I suppose it would be death-size."
"What do you think after asking the alchemist about it? I have a lot of things to do, and I can't nod at once."

　Thus Ray ended up going to see an alchemist.
