1219 Episode 1219



When Johanna and others are temporarily hired by the Reyes, they each start eating without doing anything until Marina comes back.
 Eat what you ordered, talk, drink -- except Ray, but -- drink.
 Naturally, this will eliminate the tension that had been around for some time.
 On the contrary, everyone laughs and talks to each other.
 Elk, not Elena... of course, was especially popular.
 Some of Johanna's fellow men naturally wanted to talk to Elena.
 But it is impossible to speak to Elena, who is no less beautiful than Vihela.
 Besides her good looks, she must have been frightened by the nickname of General Hime if she came from the Westian Empire.
 ...and yet I can speak normally to Elk, who is as famous as Ray and Elena.
 It's probably because we're men.

"So Min magically wiped out the group attack."

 Elk goes on in a good mood, partly because of the prospect of Rodos' treatment.
 Elk's carefree appearance made the others look happy with joy and sorrow.

"It seems to be quite exciting,"

 Marina came to the bar after a conversation with the guildmaster.
 mutter with envy that he was talking businesslikely…

"Oh, Marina," Are you back? Are you done with it?"

 Marina nods to Ray with a small smile as she eats a stew full of meat.

"Yes, I've been talking about this. I heard a lot about Dungeon's recent report. ... much better than I expected. It was an unexpected blessing."
"...what? What?"

 At Marina's meaningful words, Ray looks a little strange.
 However, Marina sits on the chair next to Ray without saying a word, just smiling as if she were glamorous.
 Elena on the right and Marina on the left. ...there are not many scenes where the word flower suits both hands any better.

"A little,"

 a marina misrepresenting something
 But Ray decides that it is related to the Guild's secrets and does not pursue any further.
 Contrary to such marina, Elena, who was eating a vegetable and ham sandwich next to Ray, opens her mouth a little strangely.

"Are you up to something?"
"Well, you always think about how you can capture Ray?"

 Marina smiles as if she's fascinating even for women.k.a. woman.
 Marina's smile catches the eye of Johanna's companions talking to Elk... and the other men watching the Reyes in the bar... or even the women.
 Unlike when we were talking about the Silver Lion, Johanna's companions are no longer in an atmosphere of rejection.
 That's probably why I could afford to look at Marina like this.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

 Marina asks with an amusing smile, and everyone around her blushes and looks away in a way different from intoxication.
 It's not surprising that if there's a beautiful woman like Elena or Marina, she'll get involved...No one in a bar or guild would get involved with the lay people.
 Ray, Elena, Marina, Elk... because there is no one who doesn't know all of them.
 If everyone was eating in separate seats, perhaps one or two strangers might have been involved.
 But with so many famous places, you must know someone's face.
 Of course, Elk is the most well-known.

"Is this meat from the dungeon? It's delicious."
"Oh, yes," The dungeon also has a forest hierarchy, where the water monkey is the meat of a monster."

 After hearing the conversation between Elk and Johanna's companions, Ray glances at Elena next door.
 It's a bitter laugh to be floating around each other's mouth.
 You must have remembered how many water monkeys attacked you when you were diving into this dungeon.

"You had a hard time then, didn't you?"
"Oh, thanks to Ray, it's come true... but the fact that water monkey meat dishes are served in the guild means that there are adventurers fighting against that crowd."
"To be honest, I don't want to fight that monster anymore."

 Ray recalls the time, Elena admires the adventurer for the meat of the Water Monkey, and Arla looks bored as she recalls the time.
 When I went into the dungeon before, there were a lot of difficulties, but at the same time, I guess that's not all. ...whether or not the Water Monkey fits it.
 I was attacked and chased by countless water monkeys... eventually, it's not a very interesting memory.
 Still, it wasn't a bad thing, considering it was a request that gave me reason to meet Elena.
 ...but there was a big sting at the end of the request.

"But didn't Ray bring any water monkey meat, then, I don't think he'd be so surprised?"

 She turns to Ray's mysterious ring and asks Elena.
 Understanding what Elena wants to say to her, Ray nods back.

"Oh, it's still in," Just... I tried it before, but it wasn't that good. --it was not like this stew at all right.

 Despite being thoroughly stewed, the right amount of chewiness delights the texture.
 But after a while of chewing, it melts in your mouth while enjoying the taste of meat.
 This stewed dish, which gives you a sense of satisfaction, such as meat!, is not eaten as a snack for sake in a bar, but rather as a taste of this dish.

"Oh, Ray, do you think so, too? Actually, we tried a lot of things when we beat the water monkey in the dungeon... but it just doesn't taste this good."

 Johanna muttered discontentedly, listening to Ray's words.
 However, the complaints were mixed with complaints about not being able to see Seto besides cooking.
 When the banquet was about to begin after the conversation, Johanna tried to get out of the guild.
 Of course the destination was the stable where the Lays were staying.
 But Ray stopped me from seeing him tomorrow.
 Johanna wants to see me tomorrow or today.
 Not at all aware of Johanna's behavior, Ray opens his mouth, reaching for food.

"This is purely a cook's skill,"
"…I suppose so." But why is there such a good cook in such a place, let alone in such a big town as Gilm?"

 Marina, who was talking to Arra, answered Johanna's bowing words.
 As a guildmaster, did you know why there was a good cook here, or did you simply ask someone else?
 At any rate, Marina opens her mouth to a mystified Johanna.

"Because this is the dungeon."
"Because it's a dungeon?"
"Yes. Because it's a dungeon, I think it's a variety of ingredients... or, in this case, ingredients. They're readily available. For those who practice cooking, this is a great place to practice cooking."
"... I see,"

 Now that you mention it, it was understandable.
 Being able to cook with rare ingredients from dungeons can be said to be the privilege of chefs working in a particular place."But even if you brush your skills here, the ingredients you can get in the dungeon... you can't get them anywhere else, can you?"

 One of Johanna's companions asks Marina.
 ...as I asked him seriously, he kept glancing at the wide open Marina's chest.
 Marina opens her mouth with a smile on her face.

"That may be the case," But being able to cook many dishes is an invaluable skill for cooks. It may not be helpful to go somewhere else, but it may be helpful."
"Is that what it is...?"

 Marina's words were apparently not very understandable to the man who lived as an adventurer.
 Marina nods back to the man with a smile on her face.
 The man didn't understand it, but it was true that if he told me that it was what a cook was, I had to agree.
 Then we spent some time eating and drinking together... and as soon as the food was gone, Ray opened his mouth.

"Well, what if we make too much noise here and affect tomorrow? Let's break up now. Johanna, come before the dungeon when the nine o'clock bell rings to-morrow."
"What? Well, it's very slow. It would take some time to get to the bottom where the Silver Lion was, of course, Mr. Ray."

 This is Ray, who has been to the bottom of the pile before.
 You should have known full well how long it would take to get there.
 But Johanna is confused as to why...

"Well, I'll talk about that to-morrow,"

 Ray says he knows Grimm, but decides it's better not to talk about what he's capable of right now.
 When we started talking about Grimm, Johanna's companions were watching around him, but now we're not in a situation where everyone could drink and eat and talk about the secret.
 Anyway, it was true that meeting Johanna and others in this bar gave us a good change of pace.

"Tomorrow... when Vihela comes back to consciousness, shall she make a great fuss?"
"Oh, that's good," I'm sure Mr. Vihela will also. Well, then naturally, Seto-chan was with me... right?"
"Yes,"

 I guess it's because I didn't have time to come to the guild today. Rey nods to Johanna's imploring gaze.
 We all make a fuss, so it's only natural that Seto should be there then.

(However, if that happens, do I have to rent out a shop somewhere?) That's quite a big store.)

 We needed at least a shop where Seto could get in, but it was doubtful whether we could find it.
 If this is spring or summer... or just autumn, you can have a party outside, but now it's pretty cold outside.
 It's still a little warm during the day, but it's almost impossible to have a party outside in the evening.
 No, Ray has a dragon robe, so it's no problem to have a party outside in the winter, and so is Seto.
 But many others would freeze to death if they were to throw a bad party outside.
 However, since most of the people attending the banquet are adventurers, freezing to death may be too worrying.

"Well, I'll find you a good place," It looks like this, and some time has passed since I came here."
"Well, then, please,"

 Ray had come here before to dive into the dungeon, but he could hardly afford to look around here.
 I went to the dungeon purely, and after finishing the succession ceremony, I left right away.
 ...if the betrayal had not occurred and the succession ceremony had ended without incident, he might have had time to drink or buy souvenirs at some store after returning to the ground.
 Also, this place is much more developed than when Ray came before.
 That's enough to make Ray wonder if it's a completely different place.

"Yes, leave it to me. I'll plan a surprise party for Mr. Vihela, who wakes up for the first time in a while."
"... well, do it,"

 Johanna is probably the reason why Seth's name comes before Vihela.

"Well, to surprise Vihela... you can never fail tomorrow, can you?"

 Marina, listening to Ray and Johanna's conversation, smiled... as usual, but in the glamour she muttered with determination, Ray and Johanna... and those who heard Marina's voice nodded back.
