Season passes after Vihela fainted.
　After the summer of green leaves, the leaves of the trees turn red and begin to fall to the ground.
　The fall had already deepened, but Vihela was still unconscious.
　Ambris seems to have escaped into Vihela's body when Ray attacked her, and no other individual has been found since the day Ray overthrew Ambris.
　Although Ray could not tell whether it was due to a near-death injury, or whether the body had escaped into Vihela's body... or for any other reason, Ambris had never been identified since the day Vihela passed out.
　Of course, Ambris is a black misty existence and can move through the ground, so it may not be found... Ray determines that Ambris is probably no longer there.
　But... still, from the day Vihela fell down to this day, Gillum has never settled down.
　Ambris has disappeared, but the herd of monsters that have been evolved by Ambris into leader species remains intact.
　That being the case, the herd of monsters had to be overthrown, and many of Gilm's adventurers were busy asking to be killed.
　Still, the disappearance of Ambris means that the leader species cannot grow any more easily, and the more secure the flock disappears over time.
　And the adventurers in Gillum were excellent, and the destruction of the herd was going well.
　The number of merchants, which had declined between summer and autumn, has now returned to normal. ...or, on the contrary, more and more.
　Merchants who could not come to Gilm over Ambris are coming in unison.
　Autumn will also be over in a little while and snow will flicker into winter.
　Basically, only those who go to Gilm in winter have some reason.
　Others wait until spring to go to Gilm.
　If you don't do it well, you'll be locked in a winter guillem, so many people will want to make a little money before that.
　Ray was walking with Sett through the ever-more bustling guillem.
　The situation is the same as usual. ...at least to the inhabitants of Gillum.
　But if anyone knew Ray better, they would have noticed that Ray was only superficial.
　After Vihela collapsed, I was looking around for some way to regain consciousness, all of which were empty.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　Of course, some people wanted to trick Ray out of his money, but... it goes without saying how the man turned out.

"Seto, it's getting a little cold. Are you okay?"
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words make Seto cry that he's OK.
　Originally, Seto has no problem sleeping on the snow in the middle of winter.
　Gryphons are so highly capable, unlike humans.
　But Ray was still worried about Seto because he cared so much about her.
　As Sett rubs his head against him, Ray only bends the edge of his lips and caresses his head.

"Well, are you all right?" ...but it's getting deeper and deeper in autumn. It will snow before long, so be careful, Seto."

　While telling Seto, Ray and Sett walk down the street... suddenly smell an appetizing, savory smell coming from a nearby.

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry. We have a little more time until dinner, and shall we eat?"
"Grull!"

　At Ray's words, Seto happily purr and appears at a nearby stall.

"Oh, Ray and Seto?" What are you going to buy today? I recommend Lizardman's skewers. -- well, you may be fed up with it."

　The owner of a stall sees a friend and tells him so.
　The words that came out of the mouth were also true facts.
　The bodies of the monsters who flocked together in Ambris' case were naturally fed to the inhabitants in guillem.
　Everyone ate the meat because the merchants were too far away...but if it was only a few days or so, I'm tired of hearing that it's monster meat every night.
　It goes without saying that if it comes to January.
　You can buy ingredients other than meat. However, the price is naturally higher than usual because of the shortage.
　After all, a lot of people ate only monster meat every meal for a while.
　That being the case, people who are tired of eating monster meat naturally ask for other dishes when the Ambris case is resolved and merchants come.
　Monster meat, however, would still have been in demand if it were not a herd of subhuman monsters.
　At any rate, many people are reluctant to eat monster meat for a while now that they are finally free from monster meat.
　Because of this relationship, the sales of lizard skewers sold at stalls were far from satisfactory.

"Why are you selling Lizardman skewers now? It would be more profitable to sell something else."
"You may say so," We have sold Lizardman skewers for generations, so we can't change them any longer."
"…No, sell what the customer wants there." Well, I don't think so. Give me all the lizard-man skewers."

　The owner was dumbfounded for a moment by what Ray said, but when he remembered that Ray was his partner, he immediately smiled broadly.

"Hey! Wait a minute. I'll burn all the people I've learned."

　And what they gave me was a grilled skewer.
　You don't have to think that for Ray the skewers will cool down, because you can just put them in the misty ring if you can't finish them.
　First of all, he took a bite... and nodded.

(It's only possible that we've sold Lizardman skewers for generations.) In fact, this skewer is several levels better than the regular skewer.)

　The outside is crispy over high heat, but the meat inside is not overcooked.
　If you chew it, the juice will spread through your mouth, and you will work with the sauce to understand the meat.

"It's delicious."
"Glu".

　Seto, who was also eating skewers next to Rei, screams "delicious!"
　The owner of the shop must have been pleased with Ray's words. bake the next skewer with a happy smile
　Then, in about 20 minutes, we take all the remaining skewers and put them in the mistling, except for the ones we ate with some satisfaction.
　Paying for it, Ray and Sett break up with the stall owner, who can't help but smile at the best sales in a while.
　Then you'll see the guild.

"...I don't think so,"
"Guru..."

　Ray muttered, caressing Seto, and went into the guild.
　With winter just around the corner, many adventurers are busy preparing for the winter.
　It's the same thing as anyone who doesn't want to do what they ask for in the snow.
　In what should be called the most unfortunate case, many adventurers have made considerable sums of money over and over again in Ambrice's case.
　Only those who had been involved in the hunt for monsters had already saved most of their money beyond the winter.
　The people who are busy now are adventurers who were not in Gillum for some reason or other when they were in herd.
　Or a certain number of adventurers have come to Gilm since the Ambris case was settled.
　In the meantime, Ray and Sett came looking for a request... not necessarily.

"Oh, Ray. I'm sorry, but I haven't got my order yet."
"...I see,"

　Not seeing Lenora on the counter, Ray approaches Kenny, but breathes a little sigh at Kenny's words.
　Ray's request to the guild is naturally to recruit people and things to restore Vihela's consciousness.
　Five gold coins were prepared as rewards. ...an exceptional reward for a remote request of rare materials and monsters.
　However, that amount of money wasn't easy for Ray... but it was a little too much money to pay.k.a. little effort.I thought ten gold coins would be fine, but considering the difficulty of remuneration, the maximum of five gold coins resulted in Lenora, Kenny, and even Marina.
　In addition, we have already submitted and completed the dismantling of the corpses of the numerous herds obtained in the Ambris case.
　It was a substantial amount of meat, but it was also a substantial reward, so the request was quickly fulfilled.

(Oh, come to think of it, we haven't absorbed the Oak Leader's magic stone yet.)

　When I recall a request to dismantle it, I recall, as if I were reminded, the Oak Leader's Magic Stone.
　Originally it could have been absorbed earlier, but the busyness of the Vihela affair had completely obliterated Ray's mind about the Oak Leader's Mystery.
　Ray remembered it, but more so, he said to Kenny.

"Until now, I've been looking for things that are certainly effective, but do you think it's better to collect rumors?"
"You'd better not,"

　Kenny immediately denies Ray's question.

"Why?"
"Now that we're certain, we're getting rid of the scammers. Also, Ray is a high‐ranking adventurer. But when it comes to the rumour, there will be more people to come up with the right story."
"...that's it? My name serves as a deterrent, isn't it?"
"Yes, but that's because I still said it, but I'm looking for certainty. If this is all right with rumors, more and more people will wonder if it's all right. Even if you find out later that it's absurd, you can just say it's just a rumor."
"Well... I don't like it,"

　The reason why no one is taking the request now is because they know what Ray is like.
　If this isn't Ray making a request, but an adventurer with no track record, there will certainly be people who want to extort money.
　And if the word certainty is eliminated, there is no doubt that even if Vihela doesn't wake up, someone will try to mislead her as Kenny says.
　Rumor has it that this herb can recover from any condition.
　According to what I've heard, this part will revive even the dead.
　I heard from my teacher's friend's father's daughter-in-law's son-in-law that all diseases can be overcome with this fruit.
　he said, he said, he said, he said...
　With so many people coming along, Ray was certain to explode.

"Right? ... Oh, yes. I'd like to ask you this just in case, but the Viscount Marlino family in the barony town has asked you to nominate me. Right now, Ray said he was too busy to do that, but he pushed me through."

　But you're going to say no, aren't you?
　That's Kenny's remark, but Ray thinks a little... and then he opens his mouth.

"No, I'm going to take a request, including a little change of pace. I've been moving around for a while, and I'm at a standstill."

　That kind of remark by Ray must have been unexpected. Kenny reveals his surprise by erecting his ears from his head.

"Are you sure? I'll tell you, Ray is a nobleman you don't like?"
"I don't hate all the nobles,"

　Elena, Dasker... there are other aristocrats that Ray likes.
　On the contrary, there are some aristocrats who hate it with all their might.

"And may I ask you what kind of aristocracy is Viscount Marunino?"
"Yes. I'm a royal nobleman, and I don't hear big bad rumors. On the contrary, there are small bad rumors."
"What's a good rumor?"
"There's no big one, but there's a small one." I wonder if the aristocrats, on the whole, will do neither harm nor harm."
"... don't be so bold,"

　Ray is a little surprised at what Kenny says.

"Never mind," But now, in the Viscount Marlino's house?"
"No, I'll do it tomorrow. It's a good opportunity, so I'd like to make sure I'm well prepared."
"In Ray's case, you don't need to be ready."

　On Ray's right hand... to be exact, Kenny shrugs his shoulders as he looks at the mistling on his right wrist.
