"Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh...

　Hearing everything he had done in the Earl of Lerdacht from Ray, Dusker groans so much while sitting on the sofa.
　Looking at the groaning dusker, Ray reaches for the tea the maid brought in the middle of the explanation.
　He had a cup of tea in the drawing room where he had been waiting before meeting Dusker, but Ray still had enough room to drink delicious tea.
　Then, as Ray drinks his tea, Dusker finally stops moaning and opens his mouth.

"Well, I think you've done a good job. The amputation of Count Leldakt's arms and the destruction of the mine may seem a little too much, but overall it is a satisfactory result."

　Although Dusker usually makes decisions immediately, Ray's explanation this time was difficult to judge.
　But they are not taking Leldakt's life as Dusker demanded, and they are also urging the rebels not to take his life.
　Given the circumstances, Dusker has cleared all his demands.
　On the contrary, it has even met the demands of non-Dasker neutrals.
　That being the case, there was no need for Dusker to complain.
　But I'm sure I wanted it to be a little more moderate if possible, but... that's only if I could.
　Ray has a very strong fighting power, but that is why fighting tends to be flashy.
　It may be related to his excellence in handling long-handled weapons, such as death-size and twilight spears.
　Also, this request is only retaliation.
　It was necessary to show to the person who was about to touch Gillum that the sequence of events in the Earl of Lerdacht was at Ray's hands... exactly at the will of his client, Dusker.
　The retaliation this time is quite large and too much for retaliation, but it is certain that we will not be able to touch Gillum carelessly from now on.
　However, even under such circumstances, it may be an expression of human greed that no one can assert their hands.
　That's how attractive the city of Gilm is.
　The only frontier in the Kingdom of Milliana is where a large amount of money, scarce materials, and talented adventurers gather.
　It's a city on paper, but it's actually a quasi-city.
　As for its size, this extension will definitely make it a city.
　But even on such a scale... no, that's why we need to be so clear that it's dangerous to touch Dusker.

"That would be a great help to me, too. ...and you may take the magic item you stole from Leldact as it is it?"
"Of course... Huh? Why do you look disappointed? Your hobby is collecting magic items?"

　Of course Dasker knows Ray's hobby is collecting magic items.
　That's why I suggested that all the magic items I've taken from Leldact could belong to Ray, but his expression doesn't look very happy.

"What's the matter? Tell me if anything happens. Ray has taken care of me a lot. I'll be more or less flexible."

　Dusker also knows how capable Ray is... no, he's too competent.
　The high mobility of item boxes and sets, the high power of Ray and Set... Other than that, the more detailed you are, the more endless you are.
　That's why if Ray has any concerns, he might want to work together as much as possible.
　Ray opens his mouth with a troubled look on his face.

"Actually, it's a magic item I stole from Leldakt..."

　As he says so, Ray places some magic items from the mistling on the table.
　Jewel boxes with music boxes, paintings that change the scenery behind them as magic is applied, etc.

"Well, it's quite a tasteful thing for him. And what's wrong with this? If you ask me to buy it, I'll be glad to buy it."
"No, not really,"

　Denying Dusker's words, Ray continues.

"""What I collect is magic items that can only be used in fact be used." It's like a magic tent that I received as a reward from Dus Dusker. But honestly, magic items like this kind of work of art...

　I don't really want it.
　Ray's words make Dusker understand.
　For adventurer Ray, this kind of work of art seems nothing more than a cash cow.
　But Ray already has enough money for an average person to spend his whole life playing with, including family, lovers and friends.
　Of course it would be better to have it than nothing, but Ray could easily earn gold and white.
　On the contrary, it is not impossible to earn even a gold coin above a white one.
　In comparison, a practical magic item like Ray wants is not something you can get for money.
　Most magic items are available for money, but you can't get them that easily just because you pay.

"Oh... I'm sorry." With this reward, I'll add some magic items that Ray wants. And if you don't need this magic item, I can buy it for you, but what shall I do?"

　For Ray, even if it's a useless and uninteresting magic item, it's not for Dusker.
　Dusker is not that well versed in art, but as a Larkus frontier he needs to decorate this kind of art.
　It's not only Ray who doesn't care about ostentation that comes to the lord's house.
　It is necessary to be ostentatious to the merchants who come every day these days and to the nobles of their own factions, let alone to be ostentatious to the nobles of other factions.
　This is why Dusker's office is adorned with paintings by several prominent painters, and the door itself is a work of art.
　In that sense, Ray shakes his head, though Dusker actually wanted to buy some of Leldakt's fine art.

"No, I think I'll decorate Marina's house,"
"... I see. I see."

　Dusker hears Ray's response and misleads him so.
　For Dusker, Marina is known for all the things that happened in her childhood... and in her youth, and she's not the one to go against.
　No, if Marina acted with ill will against Gillum and the Earl of Larkus, Dusker would not obey her.
　But Dusker believed Marina would never do such a thing.

(though it may depend on Ray's attitude.)

　Dusker looks at Ray again.
　Of course, Dasker knows Marina has a deep affection for Ray.
　How dare you fall in love with 'that' Marina so much? On that point alone, he even had a deep respect for Ray, who was as old as his son.
　Marina, whose word "female glamour" had taken the form of a man's -- or, to be exact, a dark elf -- shape, there were many men who naturally approached her.
　But, as far as Dusker knows, he has never responded.
　It was the impression of many who knew Marina's character, including Dusker, that she was a chastity-minded woman regardless of her appearance.
　That made Dusker incredible when he discovered Marina loved Ray.
　At the same time, it's true that she was shocked to hear that her first love had loved a man the size of her son.
　However, his feelings for Marina have already been completely settled in Dusker. So I don't have anything in mind about Ray.
　Well, it's safe to say that I respect you.

"Mr. Dusker?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing."

　Naturally, she realizes she looks respectfully at Ray and immediately shakes her head out of it.
　There is a big difference between actually having respect for Ray and expressing it.
　As a person at the top of the guillem, there is no way I can imitate him like that way.
　After a small deep breath and a change of mood, Dusker opens his mouth.

"Well, if you're going to decorate Marina's house, I won't say anything. But if you intend to get rid of me, remember me."
"Well, that's all right,"

　Ray didn't understand why Dusker was so obsessed with this magic item.
　For Ray, who is out of touch with the arts, it's something he can only use for money or someone else's gift.
　After a short chat, the door knocks.When Dusker gave him permission to enter the room, it was one of the butlers working in the building.

"Mr. Dusker, it is time for another visit,"
"Huh? Oh, that's the time. ... I'm sorry, Ray. If it were true, I would have liked to have talked to you more, but this is my job too. You need to talk to someone even if they're not good enough."

　When Ray came to his office before, I remember a merchant who had been yelled at by Dusker and kicked out of his office.

(It seems to have been about lowering the quality of the materials used for building the guillem and putting the difference in their pocket.)

　An irresponsible deputy might have taken advantage of such a proposal.
　But this is the home of Dusker and the guillem that houses it directly.
　Naturally, they have a strong attachment to the city, and the reason why neutrals manage to operate as one of the three major powers is because they have a town called Gilm.
　That being the case, it would not have been possible to take advantage of proposals that might weaken Gilm's defense, if Gilm's defense were to be strengthened.

(I think it's better to choose the other person, if I may suggest dishonesty.)

　I feel a little pity for Dusker, who thinks that way, but also has to deal with someone who makes such a proposal.
　If you're an aristocrat... No, because you're an aristocrat, you often don't have your own way.

(I don't want to be a nobleman if I think so.) I don't think there's anyone who likes things that make me a nobleman.)

　Ray thinks comfortably while looking at Dusker, but quite a few people are actually looking to make Ray a nobleman.
　That would allow Ray to become a nobleman immediately if he said he wanted to become an aristocrat.
　...and I'm waiting for a number of very troublesome jobs.

"Well, I'm going to leave now." I have to report to the guild."
"Oh, ... here's a sign of completion of the request."

　After receiving the documents, Ray leaves the room.
　Then a merchant waiting in front of the door looked hard at Ray.
　He probably didn't like the fact that he had met Dusker, leaving him alone.
　It's not to say that the merchant cut in on Dusker's free time, though,
　Eventually, the merchant goes into the office without saying a word, when the maid asks him to come in.

(Well, I don't have Seto or Death Size, so I guess I didn't think he was a notorious adventurer. but it would be a good merchant to see the opportunity.)

　Ray quickly forgets the merchant who walks into his office and asks another maid to show him where Seto is.
　In the places where they came, as usual, the maids, butlers, cooks, and many others love Seto and feed him a variety of food.

"Gruly!"

　When they see Ray, they cry happily, and then they stand up.
　Those who had loved Seto up until now were healed by seeing Seto happily and happily watching him.
