After a brief conversation with the workers, Ray and his colleagues leave the office and join Arla.
　It was undoubtedly a fact that we were going to be busy, but the good news for workers and guild workers at this branch office is that autumn is deepening... winter is coming soon.
　Fewer people basically go out during the winter, and quite a few new people come to this dungeon.
　Many adventurers also head to Gillum when they save money for the winter.
　This means it's a great way to gradually scale down the guild's operations and eventually prepare to return to the guild.
　Of course, it doesn't mean that even if Ray and others capture Dungeon and destroy Dungeon's nuclear weapons, they won't be able to use Dungeon immediately.
　It was not known how long it would be, but it was true that there would still be a certain amount of time.
　In the meantime, they try to reduce the guild's operations, and talk to the owners of various shops around the dungeon while people don't gather in the winter.
　Of course, those who built a shop for what they could call a dungeon's special demand... that would be nothing but a blue sky for the owner, who recently completed the shop.
　But it was true that we still had to do a lot of things.
　If we don't talk about this now, there's no doubt that the store will suffer more damage in the end.

(If you think about it, you might blame me.)

　Ray joins Arla and thinks about it as he walks toward the Oak Nikomi-tei restaurant, which launches from the guild.

"Glu?"

　She rubs her face against Ray, crying anxiously, wondering what's wrong with her.

"Well, there's been a bit of course. As for the capture, the workers... no, they asked me not to say as much as I could until the guild announces it."
"But that would have been better, wouldn't it? If we'd made it public, we'd definitely be involved in a disturbance."
"...that's an undeniable fact,"

　That's how big it is to capture the dungeon.
　It was certain that the dungeons, like the dungeons they had captured before, would cause a stir, if not so big.
　If you can congratulate Rey, you can't stop the jealous adventurers, the ones who run the shop here... and so on from feeling negative towards Rey.
　Of course, there are many people who honestly congratulate me from the bottom of their hearts.
　Ray and his team decided not to get involved in such a commotion, but simply accepted the demands of the workers.
　But this is close to Gilm, and some of the people who worked in this dungeon... or most of them would be adventurers in Gilm.
　It was the same with the shops that stood here, and there should have been some migrants to Gilm.
　If that happens, it is certain that the Ray's capture of Dungeon will cause a stir even in Guillum.
　Still, it was true that after a certain amount of time it would calm down somewhat.
　It would also be true if Ray and his colleagues were proud of their achievements and wanted them to make a big announcement.
　If you wish for it, it's just a story of course.
　Many adventurers are confident in their abilities and prefer to show off their achievements.
　But... fortunately, no one likes it to the members who captured the dungeon this time.
　It was also significant that most of the participating members had already gained a certain level of publicity.
　Johanna are the ones who are not famous, but recently they have made a lot of money by challenging dungeons and getting lots of monster material, making a name for themselves around here.
　...if you go to the Vestian Empire, you are more famous for serving as a detachment led by Ray during the civil war.

"More than that..."

　Ray changes his story to change his mind when he feels uncomfortable continuing his troublesome conversation.

"Was it Oak Noodle House? Do you know where the restaurant is?"
"Oh, that's all right because I'm listening to it."

　It was Arla who was the first to speak out at Ray's words.
　Arla was probably the first to join Ray's story because she had no idea of fame. ...though the present situation might be a little dissatisfied in terms of spreading Elena's name.
　Originally, she adores Elena, so the truth is that she wants to welcome her, not to mention her name.
　But I still didn't say anything because Elena, now working with Ray, seemed very happy.

"The Oak House, sir. It's getting colder before you know it, and I hope it's a delicious stew."

　For Vihela, who had been attacked by Ambris in summer and had already reached the late autumn season, the coldness would feel stronger.
　Boiled food seems to be very appetizing for Vihela, who has lost her sense of the season.

"Johanna said it was delicious, and I don't think we can look forward to it. ... I don't think he'll let Seto eat anything that's not delicious."

　Everyone listening to Ray's words to Vihela is convinced that there is no need for questions and answers.
　That's how much Johanna feels about Seto.
　It was undoubtedly true that few people had the same intensity of thought as Johanna.
　And since Johanna chose this restaurant as the place to eat with Seto, it was almost impossible that the food at that restaurant was bad.
　...though some may think it doesn't suit your taste.

"Well, let's take it easy." Arra, please show me around."
"Yes, Mr. Elena,"

　Arra responds happily to Elena's words and guides them straight away.
　Naturally, Ray and his party are conspicuous to the people around them, so they naturally attract attention.
　However, Ray and his colleagues, who are used to getting attention from the people around them, go around the city without any particular concern.
　Then, in the chilly autumn breeze, some people frowned and walked down the road... and eventually arrived at their destination.
　Ray was expecting some kind of trouble, but fortunately he managed to get to the store without such trouble.
　It's strange that such troubles often occur in the first of all.
　But it happens to Ray, Elena, Marina, and Vihela.

"Oh, Seto! You're here already, aren't you?" I'm glad that it seemed to be earlier than I expected."

　Johanna, who was waiting outside the shop, was the first to speak to Seto, and as she went downstairs, she stroked Seto and called out to Ray.
　The scene is exactly what Ray and his friends were talking about on their way, and everyone smiles.

"What? What's wrong with you?"

　Naturally Johanna doesn't understand why she's being laughed at and wonders.

"No, it's nothing. What do you think of putting in a set?"
"Oh, yes. It's not good when there are other customers, but it's okay if it's reserved." "However, since it's this season, the price seems to be reasonable."
"Ah... I know,"

　Johanna seemed reluctant to say it, but Ray understood it.
　Winter is approaching and it's hard to pretend to do something outside.
　Meals are one of the few things to look forward to in the midst of that.
　And Oak Nikomi-tei is quite famous for its delicious food, and if you open a restaurant, it's sure to be prosperous every day.
　It was only natural for the shops to ask for a large fee, since they were going to rent such a shop.

"Well, I'll take it out this time. I got most of the materials for the silver lion, and if you think about it that way, it would be no problem to pay for the launch."

　Considering the price of the silver lion's material sold, it's too much to do dozens, hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of launches.

"Are you okay? That's good. You said you'd rent it out already."
"... well, I don't mind,"

　Rey tells Johanna, looking a little dumbfounded.
　In fact, Johanna was able to do this because she had spoken to her in advance, and on top of that, she was on good terms with the owner of the shopkeeper.

"Of course Seto-chan is allowed to enter the shop, so let's have a party with him."
"Grull!"
"Cute! Cute!"The set squeals happily, and the yellow on his back squeals not to forget.

"Of course, we've got Yellow's share ready, so you don't have to worry about it?"

　Of all Johanna, Seto is naturally the best.
　But that doesn't mean I don't love anything else.
　For Johanna, who basically loves cute things, Yero was a lovely enough partner.
　If I had met him before I met him, I might have brought him first, not Seto.

"Squeak!"


　The yellow crows happily on Seto's back, saying, "If you haven't forgotten yourself."
　When the conversation is settled, Johanna finally enters the Oak Boiling House.
　The appearance of the store itself has not changed much from its surroundings.
　Maybe it's because you're so confident about the taste you serve in your restaurant, or just because you don't care about it.
　There's only one thing... the size of the door is much larger than that of an ordinary store.
　That's enough to make it easy for Seto to get in.

"Well, I'll go in," --don't be surprised?"
"Huh?"

　Ray doubts Johanna's meaningful words, but the door opens before asking anything.
　At the moment, the scent of rich soup floated out of the shop.

"Grunt!"

　The first person to react to the smell, which should be described as violent, was, of course, a keen set of five senses.
　The response, however, is far from violent. In fact, I was even enraptured by the scent that floated from inside the shop.

"Oh, this smell is amazing," Why didn't you smell it at all outside? We don't think it's strange to smell it before you open the door."

　Surprised by the smell of the soup, Vihela questions.
　It was strange that Seto, who had a much sharper sense of smell than man, could not smell it until he opened the door.

"Oh, it seems that deodorizing magic items are used in this building. If you smell it now, you'll see that it smells pretty rich... well, when this shop was first built, there were a lot of complaints from a nearby shop."
"Well, sir," It's a little surprising that magic items are used for this kind of thing, but if you think about it, it's not strange or anything."
"It is not too much to say that it is for this purpose."
"No, that's too much,"

　Ray thrusts unconsciously into Elena's words.
　It's a magic item that allows perfect deodorization so that even Seto doesn't smell it.
　Originally, it's not something to be used in this kind of place.

(I'm sure it'd be better used in these shops than in strange places.)

　With all these magic items, it's going to cost a lot of money if you put them where they should be, and there are going to be a lot of people who want them.
　It was certain that he would get enough money to live in idleness without the need to work like opening a restaurant.
　Ray told me so, but...

"Oh, I'm cooking because I want to. Come on in and shut the door. The shops around you will complain again."

　I heard a voice like that in the store.
　Such a voice is worthy of being called a stubborn father.
　Guided by the voice, the Rays enter the store.
　If you're hesitant here, you're definitely denied entry.
　It was because I thought so half instinctively.
　The Ray's choice not to smell this much and not eat the food in this restaurant.
