"And what are you going to do now? You've already arranged it with the informant, and you've got nothing more to do with it, right?

　The Rays were walking toward the main street after closing a deal with their security agent.
　Next to Ray, he is happily eating sandwiches that Sett bought as a souvenir from a bar.
　Despite the fact that it was a back street bar, the food was many times better than the right restaurants around it.
　Of course, compared to restaurants such as Manjokjeong and Golden Pantei, which are reputed to be delicious, it means that they serve delicious food.
　Because it was such a bar, the Reys bought sandwiches as souvenirs for Seto waiting outside.
　...they may not normally have provided such a service, but the store knew what the Ray's were like and never refused.
　"If anything, I think the biggest reason for bringing back sandwiches was to be complimented on the food served in the bar."

"Well, I asked an informant to gather information, and I asked other people behind the scenes to gather information. Then all we do is wait for information."
`... very quiet for Ray,'
"Is that so?" ... well, it may be so. But I promised Tris. Besides, I'm not going to attack anyone. Hasn't my reputation spread in a strange way lately?"
"That can't be helped,"

　Vihela shrugs her shoulders slightly at Ray's words.
　Of course, if you do that, the rich Souhaka of Vihela, wearing only light clothing, will shake and the man passing by you will be fascinated by such a stare.
　Whether it's his lover or his family... or not, the woman he was with slaps her elbow in the ribs.
　The blow, which had been taken while he was completely distracted, was powerful enough to make the man laugh.
　Without seeming to care about such interactions, Vihela continues to speak while looking at Ray.

"It's normal for celebrities, not only with different names, to be questioned strangely? That's what Elk says behind the scenes."
"... in the case of Elk, he has a great personality, and I don't think it's a good idea to say a lot of things about him."

　From Ray's point of view, Elk has a strong personality.
　However, it's probably the Elk thing that doesn't make you arrogant.
　It was also well known that his wife, Min, was not up to her because of her family's love.
　...but sometimes the family's feelings run wild.
　When his wife Minn and son Rodos were previously held hostage by the Vestian Empire... Elk was quite alarmed while Ray was on his way to help them.
　That's enough to instill a feeling of fear in the other person involved.
　If it's a regular elk, you'll never do it.
　The rumor must have spread at the sight of such a place.
　Ray didn't know that much, but seeing Elk's usual personality, he felt it was no use being told a strange rumor.

(And he seems to have been at a loss about Rodos.)

　Elk and Minn were busily moving around to treat Rodos, who remained unconscious in the events of the Vestian Empire.
　The desperation was inevitably rumored.
　Instead of getting help with Vihela, who was now unconscious by Ambris, Rodos was treated and woke up normally.
　Still, Ray had heard that he had been unconscious and was now working hard on rehabilitation.
　I thought of going to visit him several times, but it hasn't come true after all.
　It's not because Ray didn't go, but because Elk asked him not to see Rodos for a moment.
　That's probably what Rodos, who has a rivalry with Ray, wants to show him what he is now unable to move.

(I don't care... but if they care, it can't be helped.) and it would be a great deal of trouble if it were to be mixed up in strange ways.)

　The sight of Rodos in the civil war in the Vestian Empire made a rather strong impression on Ray.
　Now that we have elk and min, I think we'll be fine if something happens, but we still had to be careful.

(Then it was fortunate that he had lost his memory...?)

　go through town thinking like that
　It's already moved from the back street to the front street, and naturally some people will want to see Seto and fall in love.
　Watching all the children and adults feeding and caressing Seto, Ray suddenly finds himself being pulled by the dragon lobe.
　Ray wondered for a moment whether it was pickpocket or something, but when he looked at it, he saw Bune pulling a dragon lobe with no expression on his face.

"Why? Do you want to play with Seto? Then, since Bune is with Seto now, can I give him a little?"

　Bune, who likes to play with Seto, must be upset because he feels like he's been deprived of Seto.
　Ray tells her with such feelings, but Bune shakes his head in denial.

"Yes,"

　Then, projecting was a dagger with a pure white blade.
　The blade was clearly longer than a regular dagger, but it was still a classified weapon.
　When Ray sees the weapon, which was made of silver lion material and bears the name of the white cloud, he again sighs at its beauty, but wonders why Bune took out the white cloud here.
　I wondered if I wanted to do something about those who loved Seto by force for a moment, but of course Bune didn't.
　I wondered, then, if he had done so just to show off, but considering Bune's personality, I doubt he would do so.
　The only way to find out why this happened was to ask someone who understood Bune's will.

"Vihela, what does Bune mean?"

　Although Bune's intentions had become somewhat understandable, they were still not complete.

(As long as I'm having a party as an adventurer, I guess I'll have to do something about it. ... well, I don't think there's anything I can do about it.)

　Vichela immediately understands what Bune wants to say to Ray, who has this feeling.

"He says he wants to go to a blacksmith's workshop in Pamidor if he has nothing more to do." I take care of my white clouds, but I think it's best to have a professional take care of them."
"…I see. Well, I need to let you know about Azimov, and I thought it was necessary to go see Pamidor, so I don't mind."

　Other than that, I had to inform them that I had formed a party.
　After all, Ray and Pamidor have known each other for quite a long time.
　That's why I decided I needed to talk about it.
　Pamidor and Azimov have also known each other for a long time.
　No, it can be said that Pamidor and Azimov, as smiths and alchemists, have a deeper relationship than Ray and Pamidor as guests.
　This is because I had heard at parties before that he was in the same family relationship as Azimov and occasionally served meals.
　If so, it would be better to let Azimov know that his family was injured.
　Even if the injury is healed by the lotion, it is.

(And Azimov was targeted because he knew me. Then, as long as Pamidor is acquainted with me, he is in great danger of being targeted."

　Of course, there is a question as to whether Precious will use the same method twice.
　But at the same time, there is no doubt that Azimov's case was effective against Ray.
　As long as that is the case, there is no guarantee that similar behavior will not be repeated.

"Well, shall we go and see Pamidor?"
"Yes!"

　By Ray's words, Bune was a little... a little, but happily, his lips arched.
　Ray was a little pleased with Bune's appearance... telling the people gathered in Sett that he was going to move away.





　Fortunately, the lays had approached the blacksmith's workshop in Pamidor, but fortunately... or perhaps not, the smell of iron rust did not come as it did when they entered the lab in Azimov.
　Unlike Azimov, there is no reason to use deodorizing magic items, so Pamidor is safe.
　With this in mind, Ray orders Sett to wait near the shop, and then enters the smith's.

"Is there a Pamidor?"

　I'll say so, but there's no one on the counter.
　But the back of the shop... there's a sign of people in the blacksmiths, so it's not like there's no one left."Dumb, that's not true! When you give a hammer, give it more strength! Don't think of anything left, just do your best!"

　Ray tilts his head at the outcry he hears.
　His voice was not quite like Pamidor's.
　No, it's no surprise to call him the boss of a bandit, but why is he screaming like this... Ray wonders who exactly he is shouting to?
　Pamidor was the only one who worked in this smithy workshop, but the outcry now seemed to teach him how to hammer.
　Therefore, it is no use thinking, "Why?
　The same was true of all but Ray.

"What shall I do?"

　When Vihela asked him so, he came to see Pamidor in the first place, so he couldn't keep silent.

"You have no choice but to go," ... Pamidor, are you there? Let me come in for a moment."

　As he entered the blacksmith's shop... Ray opened his eyes wide at the sight that was spreading out there.
　Come to think of it, I was just as surprised when I entered Azimov's lab, but this is not the worst thing I've ever seen in Azimov.
　Pamidor's son, Kumito, had repeatedly shaken down with a hammer in his hand.
　Kumito, some of whom are over ten years old, naturally does not have the size of a hammer used by Pamidor.
　That's just the right size of a hammer for Kumito today's Kumito.
　Beside him, Pamidor points out his faults in a loud voice.

"When you wield a hammer, you should cherish the splendor of a moment. The flow that is inside of me flows directly into the hammer and wields it. You know what I mean?"
"I don't know!? What the hell are you talking about!"

　Kumito, who was shaking his hammer, screams unconsciously at his father's incomprehensible advice.
　The movement of the hammer, which had been dripping with sweat, has stopped.

"Well..."

　Listening to Pamidor, Ray agrees with Kumito.
　Not only that, but Marina, Vihela, and even Beune, who was usually less concerned about others, nodded to Ray's words.
　Generally speaking, what Pamidor says can only be described as absurd.
　But the person who spoke of it seemed to have no doubts about his words... and yet his expression was curiously distorted as to why he did not understand them.

(I've heard that genius is bad at teaching people... maybe Pamidor is the same, too. or rather, I thought that Pamidor was more of a hard worker than a genius.)

　Thinking this way, Ray first calls out to Pamidor, who appears to be failing to pass on his skills to his son.

"Pamidor, may I have a moment?"
"Oh? ...what, Ray?" And the others too. What's the matter?"
"Well, what's the matter, that's exactly what I want to hear."
"Kumito is going to work as a blacksmith, and he's forging it." Don't you understand?"
"If there's anyone who can tell from the explanation, I think it's amazing."

　Again, Marina, Vihela and Bune nod to Ray's words.
　...no, not only Ray but also Kumito nodded.
　Pamidor opens his mouth sullenly, perhaps because of his unfunny attitude.

"So I'll ask you again, why are you here? As you can see, I'm busy now. If you don't have anything urgent to do..."
"Someone attacked Azimov."

　For the time being, Ray would tell Pamidor to be quiet.
