The barbecue party on the snow was much more lively than Ray had expected.
　This mansion, where Johanna and others live, is not entirely a barony.
　It's a place where a certain amount of rich people live, but there's also a normal neighborhood relationships.
　Under such circumstances, having such a noisy party would have naturally caused more people to worry and some people would come and see.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, are you serious about having a party outside in this cold weather?"
"But it smells really good. Look, it's being grilled over there."
"Well... I'm getting hungry, and why don't we go eat something?"

　Some of the people at the party in the courtyard must have noticed the people in front of the house as they spoke. approach with a smile

"Hello. Was it a little noisy?"

　When one of Johanna's men says so, the people who are spoken to shake their heads in a hurry.

"No, no, that's not the case. I was just wondering what they were doing."
"Yes,"

　Seeing the others nodding to the words, the man opens his mouth again with a smile.

"Well, why don't you go to the party if you like? There are celebrities like Ray and Sett, Elk and Min, Guildmaster, and so on?"
"What? Really!"

　I was surprised that the party participants were more luxurious than I expected, but they never ended up attending the party.
　In the first place, I'm not invited to this party.
　However, to be bold enough to participate in it has a bad reputation.
　Perhaps it was because he understood it that he left with a little regret.

"I don't think Ray would care much about that."
"That's stupid,"

　One of the men who was watching... one of the family members of the former squad who lived in the mansion, who was interested in his brother's co-worker talking to a neighbor, spoke to him.

`I don't think you're stupid,'
"Well, it's usually impossible to go to a party that you haven't even been invited to in advance."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. I heard we still have more Gamerion meat, so shall we eat it together?"

　The man who told me so was being dragged into the courtyard.
　I was still wondering if it was so, but the woman only smiled when she could spend time with the man.





"Gururururling!

　After eating Gamerion's meat, Seto gurgles happily.
　Other monster meats, including oak, and vegetables, seafood, fruits, and more, this party was a great opportunity for Seto to eat as much delicious food as he wanted.
　Mileine and Johanna are fascinated by Seto's appearance with enraptured expressions.
　I could normally argue over Seto, but now I'm happy just looking at Seto, and there was nothing else I was interested in but what I saw.

"...well, those two. Can I leave it as it is?"

　Who in the world was it that muttered so.
　However, no one will answer it as a matter of course.
　for it was clear that speaking to Mileine and Johanna would not respond at all in the current situation.
　Or even if you react, you're more likely to get in trouble for interrupting your time with Seto.
　From the side, they were worthy of describing themselves as beautiful, but in reality, they were adventurers with more strength than they deserve, and there was no way that they would behave in such a way as to offend such a person.
　What's more, if you're in someone's way... or if you're in any way, you're not bothering anyone if you're just looking at the set like that.
　There was no one here who liked things like stepping on a tiger's tail.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
"Oh, where did you buy those clothes? ... Oh, really?"
"I want to eat that meat, too!"

　Such voices echoed throughout the courtyard.
　a very pleasant time to call a party
　Ray watches the scene with a smile as he eats a gorgeous skewer of fish just skewered and sprinkled salt.
　Most of the ingredients for this party were provided by Ray.
　The drinks were prepared by the participants, as Ray didn't drink them were hardly in the mystery ring.
　...and the fact that it's hardly in it means it's in a little bit, but it's not for Ray to drink.
　It's for disinfection when you're injured, or when you camp out with someone, you don't drink Ray but let the person you're eating with take it.

"Oh, Ray. Thank you for today."

　It was apparently only a big bandit who approached Ray as he watched people enjoying the party.

"Pamidor... and Kumito, too. ...and, by any chance?"

　a little child with Pamidor
　It is a familiar figure to Ray and Kumito, Pamidor's son.
　There's no problem at all because Ray knows him so far.
　But... Ray was at a loss for words because there was another... stranger there.
　Nevertheless, Ray was largely predictable of who the stranger was.
　Nevertheless, I can't understand why he is... well, it's hard to understand.
　As Ray asks with mixed feelings, Pamidor opens his mouth, pretending to embarrass his vicious face.

"It was the first time for Ray," He's a fan of course. It's my... well, it's my companion."

　Introduced as Sohwan, the man bowed with a soft smile.

Nice to meet you, my name is Sohwan. It seems that my husband and son are always taken care of."

　Not only Ray but also some of the people around him looked surprised at the woman's words, who called herself So-hwan.
　...but it's only natural.
　Seo-hwan was a small person with a soft, fluffy atmosphere.
　That's what it looks like if you say she's Pamidor's daughter.

"You're lying, aren't you? The wife of such a vicious man is such a cute person!"
"Hey, someone call a security guard! It's an incident! An incident happened!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. So-hwan is a wife, I mean, that child...
"Come and get a knight! He's a vicious criminal! He's a vicious criminal!"
"Oh, come on!"

　Pamidor must have heard a word spoken of freely by people around him. An already heinous face screams more violently around him.
　Those who are shouted turn their eyes away at once.

"Laughing."

　When he sees Pamidor like that, he laughs softly."Well... that's why it's not interesting to bring you here."
"Oh, really? I'm happy to be with you at the party, but I was able to meet Ray, who had been listening to me until now.

　Seo-hwan smiles at Ray, but Pamidor opens his mouth a little in a panic.

"Hey, wait. Don't say strange things?"
"Oh, is it strange? What is it? I always praise Ray..."
"Seo Hwan! Look, Kmito looks bored. Why don't you come round a little?"
"Oh, my gosh! Mr. Kumito, shall I take a look at the party with you?"
"Yes! I'm hungry!"

　Kumito responds cheerfully to So-hwan's voice.
　Then he breathes a sigh of relief at his wife, who is leaving him.
　That's because I wondered what you were going to say all of a sudden.
　But, of course, Pamidor's conduct was not entirely conceivable to those around him.

"...oh?"

　glare impatiently at the gaze of the people around one
　Pamidor, who already has a violent face, can't look straight at him if he looks violent.
　Pamidor snorts grumpily at those around him who gently look away, and then turns his eyes to Ray again.
　However, Ray's eyes twitch when he sees him holding back his laughter.

"Hey, Ray,"
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Hey... I've never seen you before, but you sound like a nice person."
"Huh? Well,"

　Pamidor replied bluntly, but the slight smile around his mouth was probably proof that he was a good wife.
　After a few minutes of talking, Pamidor suddenly changes the subject.

"Come to think of it, you said you've captured the dungeon... I'm not saying it's a silver lion, but do you have any other good monster material?"
"Oh... I don't think so. When I entered the dungeon, I didn't fight other monsters and went straight to the bottom."
"Huh? But monsters will attack you, right? I don't think they'll miss you just because you don't fight."
"Well, there are a lot of things about that,"
"…I see. Don't you think that adventurers often talk about their advantages?"
"Think so,"

　Exactly, thanks to Grimm, we reached the bottom in an instant, but we can't possibly say it.
　Besides, I wasn't necessarily lying because my connection with Grimm was definitely in my favor.

"Ray!"

　Ray was talking to Pamidor, but he was called out from behind... and I was surprised to see Azimov as he turned around.
　I talked about the party, and I asked for it... because I thought I was probably focusing on improving Slapnil's shoes instead of coming to the party.
　Given Azimov's commitment to alchemy, it would have been more surprising to come here.
　Holding a skewer with gamerions and vegetables in his hand, Azimov comes to Ray's side, carrying it to his mouth.
　Ray was going to say it was bad manners to eat while walking, but since it was an easygoing party in the courtyard, I wonder if there was anything to worry about.

"I didn't expect Azimov to come to this kind of party. I always thought he was concentrating on Slapnil'
"Oh, of course,"
"Huh?"

　For some reason, Ray turns his head to Azimov's words, which he has told him with confidence.

"Then why are you here?"
"I am now applying the ingredients extracted from the internal organs of a silver lion to Slapnil's shoes and drying them."
"... I see,"

　Ray couldn't predict how to strengthen Slapnil's shoes, but he always thought he was going to use something more magical.
　I'm surprised but convinced that it's supposed to be applied directly to shoes, let alone extracting ingredients from internal organs.

"I'll ask you, but that won't change the appearance of Slapnil's shoes in a strange way, let alone give them a strange color or smell?"

　When you hear that you have applied ingredients extracted from internal organs, it's no use worrying about that.
　Even if the performance of Slapnil's shoes improves, I wouldn't want to wear them if they smell bad.
　Depending on the level of the stench, it will also affect requests to kill monsters.

(No, before that, will Set give up?)

　It is a set that has a much sharper sense of smell than human beings, even in its original state, and even has the skill of increasing the sense of smell.
　For Seto, the stench was an offensive method that could cause considerable damage.
　...it's lucky for Ray and Sett that little is known to others.
　Ray asks with fear in many ways, but Azimov shakes his head at him.

"It's all right. That's all right. There may be a few days left after the drying, but the work will continue even after the drying and work is done, and when I give it to Ray, there should be no problem at all."
"Hey,"
"No, you may say so," Using the silver lion material is almost as easy as checking it step by step, isn't it?"
"Then, if you try something else first and then..."
"I can't do that because of the number of materials. Maybe... I think it's best to strengthen Slapnil's shoes once. ... oh, come to think of it. Why don't you use the fur of a silver lion to make clothes and trousers? Well, if you do, you need to bring in a craftsman who makes clothes."

　Even though he hadn't even finished strengthening Slapnil's shoes, he was wondering whether to be dumbfounded, complimented, or angry at Azimov's suggestion.
