The year changes, the new year begins... Still, nothing special has changed, and time goes by.
　Ray spent more time with Sett, but enjoyed his days without any unusual uproar.
　After breakfast, they spend their mornings out into the city, playing with Seto, or fighting for Bune... and during the day they walk out for lunch with Seto, shopping in the afternoon and going to the afternoon.
　Then, in the evening, they go back to the Wheat Pavilion at dusk and eat dinner in the cafeteria.
　At dinner, she is with Vihela and Bune, but sometimes marina shows up.
　Fortunately, most of the people who are staying at the Wheat-tei at dusk are aware of the Ray's.
　The appearance of a beautiful woman like Marina made some attempts to poke fun at her, but as soon as she found out she knew Ray, she gave up.
　However, if anyone knew that Marina was a guildmaster, they wouldn't do that, but... basically, they rarely show up, so there are quite a few people who don't understand her as a guildmaster.
　About a month after the start of the new year, Marina was still at the Wheat House at dusk for dinner.

"So, what's the handover like for the workers? It's not like we're almost there until spring, but it's about two months away."
"Oh, that's pretty much all right," Workers were originally easy to learn. I was worried because I was a little late in coming to Gilmoo, but most of it has already been taken over, so there is no problem."

　Stew made of dried oak, a dish that you can eat as many times as you like... but perhaps because it takes a lot of time and effort, Marina says so while enjoying the dish, which has a very different taste.

"Well, then, is there no problem?" If things go well like this, we'll be able to have a good party in spring party."
"Yes. I'm doing my best... and that's all right with the party starting tomorrow."

　Vishela opens her mouth, reaching for the bread, to Marina, who says with a big smile.

"Well, then, why don't you join me up for a moment tomorrow?"

　For Vichela, who loves to fight, the fight against Marina was promising.
　Adventurers often rest during the winter, but Vihela does not slow down, as she trains with Beune almost every day.

"That's about it. If Vihela and Marina really fight, there's no doubt that there will be a lot of destructive situations, whether it's a courtyard or a guild training ground."

　While eating an egg, vegetable and ham sandwich, Ray muttered dumbfoundedly.
　With Vihela alone, the battle will not be so flashy.
　The battle itself should not be flashy, as Vihela is good at close combat.
　... at least it's more gentle than when Ray fought with all his might, starting with Emperor Flame's Red Armour.
　Marina, however, is different.
　Marina, who fights mainly with spirit magic and archery, is also a flashy battle because of her skill.
　You don't have to doubt how good Marina is, if you've ever seen her breathing through the magic of spirits to clean the house and shovel snow.

(There used to be a guy who used to make dragons with the magic of water spirits... maybe he's better than that guy.)

　Of course Ray is not familiar with spiritual magic.
　Though it was only an impression, Ray was still absolutely confident in his intuition.
　That's Marina, but she'll need to be serious to fight Vihela.
　Then how much damage will be done around him... Ray tries to imagine it, but in the next moment he says it's useless.

"And Vichela doesn't have a good grasp of her present strength, either. That's what you do when you're not good at it and you're hurting people around you... but what if you're hurting yourself?"
`Well... I can't help it,'

　Resurrected with the heart of a silver lion...Vihela had recovered consciousness, but she still didn't know her limitations.
　I wanted to know it as soon as possible, but Grimm, who performed the ceremony, told me not to push myself too hard until the magic had settled into my body.
　The silver lion's... it's the magic of Rank S monsters, so it shouldn't be so easy to get used to.
　It's not complete yet.
　Combat training with Bune in winter was done to train Bune, but at the same time, Viehla could get used to her current situation, even little by little by little.
　Knowing this, Vihela is obedient to Ray's words.
　...but to anyone who knows Vihela at all, it is surprising that she has given up fighting so easily.
　Indeed, some of the adventurers in the dining room who listened to Ray's story had a look of astonished.
　Ray, Vihela, and Marina go on talking without any particular concern, even as they look at each other.
　They understood that they stood out in many ways.

"But you really need to name the party, right? It's been about two months."
"Even if you say so..."

　For Ray, who is unsure of his own naming sense, it's a very difficult task to name a party.
　It would have been a different story if they had given a proper name like the Seto.

"Well, there's only two months left, which means there's only two months left... and I'm not in a hurry because I can decide by the time I submit the form for the actual party to the guild." I don't care about party names."
"I'm no more particular than Marina is. --but don't be so strange."
"...I'll take good care of it said.

　It was true to Ray that anything was the most troubling thing.

(I've seen things like, "What do you want to eat in comics or whatever?", and "It's the most difficult thing to do...")

　With that in mind, Ray goes on to eat dinner.
　Fortunately, that seems to be the end of the conversation about the party name.

"And what's going on with Bune's training? Vichela has trained more than Ray, hasn't

　When the conversation becomes a topic of conversation about Bune's fighting power, Bune, who was absorbed in drinking soup, nods softly once he takes his head off the soup.

"Yes,"

　Marina didn't know if she could say confidently... but when she looked at Viehra, who was in charge of Bune, she would nod back.
　Marina could understand that she must have some confidence in her skill.
　I understand, but... that Bune's self-reporting alone is impossible to trust, so I ask Vichela again.

"And what is the truth?"
"... well, Bune was originally a thief and not so aggressive, and if you meant to keep him in check, you would have a certain amount of strength. ...but if you're dealing with high-ranked monsters, you'll have to be careful about a lot of things."

　Oh, yes.
　Marina takes another look at Bune in appreciation from Vihela.
　Vichela, who prefers to fight, takes a serious attitude when it comes to fighting.
　Long-standing relationships do not appreciate Bune's power beyond her ability.
　Ray also opens his mouth, as if he were continuing his words.

"And I have a dagger made by Pamidor,"

　It goes without thinking what kind of dagger it is.
　It's a dagger made from the silver lion material of Rank S Monster, so it's a weapon that can be possessed by a high-ranking adventurer like Rank A.
　But the reason why I didn't mention that it was a dagger made of silver lion material was probably because it was a bar.
　In the presence of adventurers in the dining room and intelligent merchants, some people might have bad ideas if they were still children's Bune, not Ray, Marina, or Vihela.
　No one would normally think of doing this because of Ray's presence, but in this case it's a dagger made from Rank S Monster materials.
　It was no surprise that some people lost their minds.

"Oh, I've heard of it," It seems to be a very good dagger."

　Marina also understands what Ray is talking about and joins forces.
　In fact, dagger made of silver lion material is very sharp in terms of sharpness.
　The exception to Rank S monsters is that if you are a monster below Rank A, you won't be able to prevent an attack unless you have a few exceptions.
　Of course, as long as the skill of the user is essential for that, it doesn't make sense if Bune's skill is bad.

"Well, thanks to you, I have enough means to attack most monsters. Besides, the transparent long hand that I've recently started using is quite convenient."

　Ray agrees with Vihela.
　A transparent long hand, mixed with an ordinary long hand, is more troublesome than you think.In Ray's case, you can judge it by hearing and vision, which would be difficult for ordinary people.

"Well, then, can I assume that you don't have to worry about Bune's fighting power?"
"I don't think it's a big problem," How about Ray?"
"I agree with Vihela,"

　Ray also nods to Vihela's words.
　Listening to it, Bune relaxes his eyes a little over the soup.
　It was only Vihela who noticed it.

"The role of a thief...I think that Bune has some power, if you think only about the enemy's checks and balances."

　Marina finally nods back when Vihela and even Ray guarantee Bune's ability.

"Well, then there's no problem," . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I don't mind... Marina is better? Aren't you busy as a guildmaster even though the handover to the workers is almost over?"

　The guildmaster's job is not just taking over.
　Other than that, there are a wide variety.
　When Vihela asks if it's okay to go out of town under these circumstances, she nods that there's no problem.

"If it were spring or something like that, I would have had a lot of work as a guildmaster, but now it' winter. Of course, it's not that I don't have any work at all, but it's just enough to do something about it. That's what some workers do."
"...the workers are not guild masters yet, are they? I see...secretly."
"No problem," Well, you need to get used to your work while I'm here. I will no longer be a guildmaster from spring, so there will be more documents that I cannot show you."

　That would convince Ray.
　Even if you are a former guildmaster, there are naturally documents that you cannot show unless you are the current guildmaster.
　Given the circumstances around that time, it was still essential to tell them exactly how to do their work now.

"Well, workers have a history of running Guild's offices in dungeons. It's much easier than teaching a normal, complete stranger to work as a guildmasters. That's not the difference in what I'm doing."

　Marina's words were strongly persuasive.
　That's the persuasive power that makes you feel convinced.

"OK. If Marina says so, I'll go out of the guillem and hunt a few monsters. I don't know exactly when..."
"Marina's convenient day is fine, isn't it?" We have nothing particular to do."

　Rey nodded to Viehla's words, and Bune nodded back as well... thus imitating some human beings -- adventurers who had to make money -- to go out of the guillem in winter.
