"Gururururling!

　Seto flies in the sky, crying.
　I saw a Harpy-like figure quite a distance away, but the shadow of Seto's call immediately left the scene.
　I guess they understood that they would never beat Seto just by hearing the cry.
　...however, Ray caresses Sett on the back of his neck, completely unconcerned about his appearance.

"You're in a good mood,"
"Gruly!"

　In response to Ray's question, Seto exclaims happily.
　The reason Seto is so full of energy is probably because he was able to eat a lot for breakfast.
　the day after Schiller left the village It's about time we arrived at our destination. ...but not Lerdacht's, but the territory ruled by the neutral aristocrats in the vicinity.
　It is therefore necessary to obtain information on the Earl of Lerdacht and consider what measures to retaliate.
　Even if you are not such a powerful person in the aristocratic group, you are still a noble.

"Well, is it likely that you have some kind of magic item?" --you can't overdo it, I suppose."

　The dead are out in the hands of those dispatched by Leldakt.
　Still, killing Leldakt was prohibited by Dusker.
　On the contrary, you can do anything as long as you don't kill them.

"Glu?"

　You must have heard Ray muttering. He turns back mysteriously, asking, "What's wrong with Seto?"
　While caressing her, Ray says it's nothing... and eventually finds a city ahead of his eyes.
　However, even though it is a town, it is incomparably smaller than Gilm.

(No, Gilm wasn't the size of a city.) Is it wrong to compare it with that? ...even though it is certainly smaller than Abuero and Subursta.)

　Ray thinks that way looking at the city just in front of his eyes, but Abuero and Subursta are the towns where people who go to Gilm are bound to come to.
　That being the case, it is only natural that the city should develop compared to the average town.
　But there's nothing in particular here.
　If I had to say something, dairy farming is flourishing because of the grassy landscape, but Ray told me that dairy farming is centered on villages, not towns.
　In other words, what lay ahead of Ray's eyes now was the appropriate expression for good or for bad.
　That's not a bad thing, though.
　That's something to be proud of, as they run the city soundly, even if it's mediocreally.

"And maybe there's something you can't tell if you're just looking from afar... go, set." Look forward to delicious specialties."
"Grull!"

　Rey's words probably reminded Seto of a pot of river fish he had in Zacuニャa. He wails joyfully and flaps his wings toward the earth.
　The travelers -- including merchants and adventurers -- who were heading for the city, might have noticed Seth's appearance, but looked up and screamed with surprise.
　Regardless, however, Ray lands Seto a short distance from the city and walks with Seto to the front gate.
　Of course it's only natural that such a thing stands out, and many people heading towards the city look to Ray and Sett... more accurately.
　It's only natural that I've never seen a glyphon before.
　Rey talks to a security guard checking in and out of the city, under the gaze of many.

"I'd like to go into town, would you please go through the formalities?"
"What? Huh? Huh?"

　Ray spoke to the nearest guard, but the guard never thought he would be able to speak to him.
　In front of the Gryphon set, I hesitated and hesitated about how to react.
　I guess he couldn't see such a colleague. A skilled guard in his forties takes his place.

"It's a procedure to get into the city, isn't it? I understand. may I have your ID, please.
"... oh,"

　After nodding to the guard's words, Ray pulls out his guild card.
　A little surprised and silent was the fact that the guard didn't say he wasn't going to go through the process, even though he was with Seto, and that the guard's attitude was soft.
　Several times before, when I tried to take Seto into the streets and villages, the guards who were afraid of Gryphon's Set eventually prevented him from entering the city.
　In that sense, the city's guards are undoubtedly worthy of respect for Ray and Sett.

"Gururu? Gururu!"

　I'm sure Seto understood Ray's feelings. He reaches out for Ray's guild card, turns round eyes and snaps friendlyly at the guard.
　The guards are a little surprised by the way Seto looks.
　The Gryphon is the sort of high-ranking monster in the story.
　For that reason, I never expected him to show such a lovely gesture.
　The first security guard to be spoken to by Ray, who was terrified simply by the mere mention of a glyphon, was shocked to see how lovely he was.
　It wasn't just the guards who were shocked.
　Even the other merchants and adventurers who were going through the process of entering the city were bewildered by the completely different images of the Gryphon they had in their minds when they saw Sett's present situation.

"Glu?"

　He bends his head to those around him, asking, "What's wrong with you?"
　And those who see Seto suddenly realize the warm, lovely, cute feeling that was born inside him.
　It's true that Seto is a Gryphon, but he's also a mascot of Gilm.
　It wasn't a date at all, but it was only natural that many people loved Seto when they saw her.
　...and on top of that, Sett is not trying to communicate with me, he is doing it in the raw.
　It can be said that Seto's friendly personality has been shown in a more impossible way around here.

"Ah... is the procedure better?"
"...huh! Yes, yes." Yes, I'm available. I'm sorry, Mr. Ray in crimson."

　With Seto with him, did you know who Ray was or did you understand him by looking at the guild card?
　At any rate, Ray receives a devil's necklace from a security guard when he finishes the process of entering the city.
　Then, when she casts a momentary glance at those who are still looking at her, Ray enters the city with her.
　All those who were going through the process of entering the city looked disappointed when they saw Ray and Sett.
　I guess the truth is that I wanted to see Seto a little longer.
　But Ray didn't come here to show off his set.
　That being the case, I had to do the work I needed to do properly.

"First of all, it's the lord's house. ...where is it?"

　It's not as large as Gilm, but it's a town.
　Ray, who doesn't know where the lord's residence is, gathers information while shopping for food at the stalls around him.
　Naturally, street stall owners were surprised to see Set, but Ray's generous shopping spree soon made them less concerned.
　...and Seto's quietness is probably a big reason for not panicking the shopkeepers.
　And if you look at the quiet set, you will naturally notice the loveliness of it... and it will be a repetition of what has been done in front of the main gate.
　Talking about Seto, it is readily known that Ray is a Gillum adventurer and also known as crimson.
　As a result, Ray and Sett were no longer feared.It was largely understood that Ray was a neutral figure like Gayle, the lord of the city.
　Given the circumstances, it was not difficult to find out where the lord's residence was.

(Well, I couldn't find anything particularly remarkable.)

　While complaining, Ray is slightly dissatisfied, eating a dish of thin slices of meat sandwiched between thin slices of bread like a hot dog.
　However, the food in this city itself is not of low quality, but of average quality.
　But... still, I couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied because the hot pot dish of river fish I had recently was so delicious.

"Gruly!"
"Oh, look. I'll do this one."

　Seto, who was eating the same hot dog-like bread as Ray, chants for more.
　When Ray gave Seto what he had been eating, Seto began to eat it happily.

"I hope you don't have to worry".
"Grull?"

　Sett bends his head slightly, as if he didn't understand what Ray was saying.
　...however, the trouble in this case is not about this request, but about food.
　At any rate, Ray and Sett move on, and eventually they see the lord's house where Gail lives.
　The lord's residence was the lord's residence in Gilm, but it was much smaller than what he had imagined.
　However, as a neutral figure, he was entrusted with the only frontier of the kingdom of Mileana, and his wealth was naturally smaller than that of the lord's house in Guilm, where he was rich.
　Still, the gatekeeper of the lord's house showed only a little surprise at the sight of Ray and Sett, and did not cause any disturbance.
　That's only natural. That's because the two now serving as gatekeepers are engaged in a war against the Empire of Bestia.
　I see the very sight of a natural disaster that has taken place there.
　Of course that's all I could have feared Ray and Sett, but fortunately I knew that I saw Ray interacting with everyone else after the war, and that even my friends were not afraid.
　These two, too, had once had a conversation with Ray, whom I don't remember.

"Well, this must be the Viscount Gayle's mansion, right?"
"Yes, it is,"
"Well, if so, I'll ask you to act as an intermediary." I brought a letter of introduction from the Earl of Larkes."
"I'll let you know soon, so please wait a little longer."

　With a letter of introduction handed to him by Ray, one of the gatekeepers heads into the lord's house.
　Seeing it off, the other guard bowed to Ray.

"Late... I'm really late, but thank you very much, Mr. Ray." Thanks to Mr. Ray, he was able to return safely from the war with the Empire of Bestia. Thank you very much."

　The gatekeeper understands why this man treats himself politely, as did the other man.
　I wonder if he had experienced that war.

"I have done it for myself, and it's not something to be appreciated. If you don't mind, I'll get a word of thanks."

　For Ray, that's exactly what he did for himself. Even in that fire whirlwind, I would have gone to revenge, retaliation, gratitude... for that reason.
　Still, the gatekeeper nods firmly to Ray, who tells him that he is grateful.

"Whatever the reason, it certainly saved us. If it had not been for Lord Ray... there would probably be very few who could have returned home alive. So, whatever the reason, please accept my words of appreciation."
"...I see, then I'll let you."
"Yes, but why in this city? If you say this, it's nothing compared to Gilm?"

　an empty city
　Even so, there is no indifference in the man's attitude.
　The attitude of loving the city you live in, even if it's empty.

"I've got something to do," Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to go wild in this city. At the very least, I'm not going to go on a rampage. --"
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto exclaims for granted... and the gatekeeper squints smilingly at Seto's appearance.
　And for a few minutes Ray and the gatekeeper chatted... until the other gatekeeper, who had just entered the lord's house, came back.
