"What? Huh? Uh... Uh..."

　When Ray and his team come out of the dungeon, the Guild's staff exclaims bewilderedly.
　It's only natural that Vichela and Rodos, who had fainted as they entered the dungeon, are now awake.
　Rodos was sitting on Elk -- the axe of the God of Thunder was in Ray's care for a moment -- but Vihela even stood and walked normally.
　Also, the short time spent in the dungeon must be one of the things guild staff have doubts about.
　After entering the dungeon, the dungeon was directly transferred to the bottom with the help of the Grimm, and Vichela and Rodos recovered consciousness by defeating the Silver Lion and destroying the core of the dungeon.
　It's been a while since these acts... but it's still very short given the amount of time talented adventurers like Ray spend in the dungeon.
　If this had been a newcomer acting on the upper level of the dungeon, he would still have been convinced.
　It's only a little past noon, and few people come out of the dungeon.
　Indeed, the few who were about to enter the dungeon were amazed to see Seto and the extraordinary beauties like Elena.
　But the Rays leave without a word in answer to the questions of the guild men and adventurers.
　Marina then opens her mouth far enough away from the dungeon.

"Well, Ray and I are going to the Guild's office. Can we have a launch in the evening?"

　The focus was on Johanna, who was confident that she would prepare for the launch site.

"Yes, that's all right. If Seto-chan is going to join us, we have to talk to the store in advance. -- well, maybe it's a chartered one, but is it all right?"
"Well... I think it's better to rent it out."

　Both Elena and Vihela nod in agreement to Marina's eyes.
　They know that they are very attractive to men... and the spoken Marina knows.
　And as long as we do the launch, it's only natural that there'll be alcohol in it.
　That way, people who don't usually get involved with the marinaes may get angry and act foolishly.
　Marina's conclusion was that from the beginning we should reserve the shop ourselves.
　Marina, seeing that Elena and the others had no objection, turned to Elk's... no, Min.
　Min also has a charming figure, even though she is Elk's wife.
　So naturally, when Min nodded to her proposal, Marina thought so, but... Min shook his head.

"Unfortunately, we cannot participate in the launch. We treated this case as a complete bonus. I can't be so brazen as you are."
"Really? I think I contributed a lot."

　Marina's words all the participants in the Silver Lion match nod.
　In fact, Elk's striking of the axe of the god of thunder did effective damage to the Silver Lion, and Min's magic could not do anything about it, but it was definitely useful in terms of stopping and keeping him in check.
　Min shakes his head when everyone says so.

"I'm glad you say so," Besides, I can't leave Rodos alone in his present condition... and above all, the whole family is here for the first time in a long time. I want to spend time with my family today."

　Perhaps that's what Min really meant.
　He nods to Min, who tells him while looking at Rodos on the Elk's back, if that's the case.
　The same goes for Vihela when it comes to seeing her after a long time, but Rodos is by far the longest when it comes to her unconsciousness.
　Vihela also had a stronger desire to make a fuss with everyone, perhaps because of her character.
　...however, there may be a difference between Vihela, who can quickly recover consciousness and actively move around, and Rodos, who is protected to some extent by magic items, but is now barely able to move.

"I see. Well, if the family has come to their senses after a while, I guess that's OK.

　Marina also wants to accept Min's words that she won't participate in the launch.

(And Rodos is conscious, but he can hardly move his body. It would be hard to bring such a person to the launch site.)

　It must be a tough situation for Rodos to eat and drink freely when he is unable to cook or drink.
　And it was fully understandable that Rodos' parents would not participate in the launch unless he was able to.

"All right. Then the axe of the god of thunder won't take part in this launch. That's all right, isn't it?"

　No one can say no to Marina's words, which she asks around.
　There was no one here to stand in the way of an act of wanting to spend time alone with a long unconscious family.

"Well, that's the way it is," ... and as early as tomorrow... Well, I don't know. I don't know how far I can finish my dungeon-related work, but I think I should go back to Gilmoo as soon as possible. What are you going to do there?"

　It may well be snowing soon.
　It doesn't matter if it's starting to snow, but once it's built up to some extent, it's quite a hassle to move out of town.
　To Marina, who tells her so, Min thinks a little and then opens her mouth.

"I wish to leave to-morrow, if possible." It's hard to spend the winter here. We don't have much money at that inn right now, and there's a dungeon problem."

　After destroying the dungeon's core, this dungeon will eventually cease to function as a dungeon.
　If so, it will be quite difficult to make money by diving into a dungeon.
　With that in mind, it was only natural to want to return to Gilm as soon as possible.
　They also want to give Rodos a good rest at their regular inn in Gilm, not at their current inn.
　Fortunately, their carriage was different from Elena's.
　That being the case, you don't have to force yourself to go home with them.
　Marina nods and opens her mouth as if she understands it.

"Well, I don't think this request is appropriate, but anyway, the conquest of the Silver Lion and the incident of Vihela and Rodos ... it's over when we leave the dungeon." What do you think?"

　Ray shakes his head at Marina, who glances at her, saying, "If you have any opinion, you'd better say it now."
　In fact, the most important part of this case has already been completed.

"No, I have no particular objection. Do you have any other objections?"
"Well, I'm sorry that I couldn't eat with Elk and Min, but for some reason."

　One of Johanna's fellow men muttered regretfully.
　It was evident from the looks of others that it was anything but flattery.
　Ray, Vihela... I knew that they were strong opponents, rather than rank, like Elena, but in fact, they were rarely directly exposed to the adventurers of course.
　I was able to have a chat with the Elks yesterday, but the next day I was going to challenge the dungeon, so I really couldn't get out of the way.
　That's probably why he thought...

"I'm sorry. But you guys will eventually come back to Gilmoo, right? We're also working in Gilmoo, and we'll buy you a drink then."

　Elk apologizes to Johanna and others.
　Elk, who has been a Rank A adventurer for a reasonably long time, knows full well that he is... more precisely, what he sees as a Rank A adventurer.
　I admire... or I'm seen as a hero.
　Elk isn't just a Rank A adventurer, he's also known as Elk. He was not bad in character, but also easy to talk to.
　Johanna and others nod back regretfully to Elk's words.

"All right. Please relax with your family now."
"Well, then, we're going home." Ray, give me your weapons when you get home to-day.""Is it all right not now?"

　Ray is a little surprised to learn that it is not time to hand over the axe of the god of thunder in the mystery ring.
　The axe of the god of thunder is a symbol of Elk... so to speak, akin to Ray's death size.
　Is it really OK to leave such weapons in your hands?
　Ray's words tell Elk to his back... to Rodos, who has just regained consciousness.

"It would be a bit of an obstacle to take him to the inn with the axe of the Thunder God."
"...if you don't mind my letting them have it?"

　Ray's eyes were on Johanna's fellow men.
　I'm heading to the Guild's office and I can't help, but Johanna and others have nothing to do now. ...although Johanna would have set up a shop.

"No, I'd like to take him with me. -- I'm afraid I'm sorry for you, but can I ask you about the Thunder God's axe?"
"Well, I hope Elk says so. But if you don't have any weapons, you'll have a lot of trouble."
"Huh! Even with bare hands, I feel like I'm going to lose to those guys... Ouch!"

　In the middle of Elk's words, Min's cane is waved down.
　Then Elk, who had been hit on the head, turned a protesting glance at Min, but what he replied was a cold stare.

"You're a fool, aren't you?" If Elk were to go on a rampage with Rodos on his back, would that be any harm to Rodos?"
"Ugh!"

　Min's mouth is definitely right.
　for it was obvious, needless to think, what would happen if Elk, who had unparalleled physical abilities, moved violently with Rodos on his back.

"Don't worry," If anything happens, I'll be there."

　Min is also a Rank A adventurer, though pure fighting power is not as good as Elk.
　Being a wizard, I'm not good at close combat, but I still don't have the skills to be managed by the adventurers around me.
　Rank C or D adventurers could have defeated them in close combat.

(No, isn't it dangerous even for a Rank B adventurer? I know the power of Min's cane.)

　Elk has been eating Minn's cane to the point where he can count.
　Given the pain, adventurers around here feel as if they could do anything with Min's ability.

"Elk? You seem to be looking at me strangely... what's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. More than that, look. Let's hurry up and go. I can't let Rodos stay like this forever."
"Uh... Ah..."

　Rodos seems to want to say something, but no one knows what it means.
　Min and Elk didn't seem to notice it now because they now prioritize returning to their accommodation.

"I understand if you're going to go that far. I don't think there's anyone who can touch it when he knows that Elk is there, and that's all right."

　Rey's words yielded nods in spite of others.
　In fact, the former is definitely more likely to be the one who approaches you in order to talk to Elk or the one who attacks you.

"Now, then," If you change your mind and want to show your face here, show your face. As for the shop... Johanna?"
"Oh, yes. It's called Oak no Nikomi-tei."
"...it's a very direct name,"

　Johanna nods with a smile to the name of the restaurant, which she mutters in an unconscious manner.

"I see," But isn't it easy to understand because you're good at cooking and you like oak, too?"
"Glu".

　If you say so, Elk can only agree.
　Seth, too, gurgles joyfully at Johanna's words.
　Anyway, now that you know the name of the shop, you'll be able to join it without any problems.
　Deciding so, Elk leaves with Min with Rodos on his back.
　Johanna heads to the store to call her on loan, with Ray and Marina... and Elena and Vihela and Arla heading to the guild.
　In addition, Seto hesitated between Johanna and Ray, who were going to the restaurant where they were good at oak cooking, and ended up going to the guild with Ray.
