1438 1438th episode



Led into the guildmaster's office by Lenora, Ray sits on the sofa at the recommendation of the guildmaster's workers.

"I'm sorry, but I've taken up your time,"
"No, I don't mind. I can't possibly explain how I did this request in front of the counter."
"Well, if that happens, there can be a lot of trouble. and I wonder if I can get the papers from Mr. Dusker to complete the request."

 After nodding the words, Ray pulls the document out of the mistling and hands it over to the worker.
 A glance at it, and finally confirming that Dusker's name was properly written, nod, and then rise from the sofa to put the papers in the separate boxes in his office desk.

"I have confirmed. I acknowledge the completion of the request. ...and yet, it's still moving fast. I never thought I'd be back in such a short time."
"There's Seto," Besides, isn't it convenient for me to be there?"
"That's it,"

 Ray said so half jokingly, but I don't think he'd ever think he'd be able to nod so.
 But in front of a startled Ray, the worker nods deeply and opens his mouth.

"What was particularly large was the transport of wood from the forest of Trent."
"Oh... I've heard about it from Kenny. There must have been a lot of difficulties."
"Yes, there are other adventurers who are strangely bullish about Ray's absence, but that's about the end of the day, so I don't think we need to worry about that much."
"I'm not strong because I'm not here... I'm not following the rules of adventurers."

 Ray often goes on a rampage in the first place.
 Most of it was because he was involved, but it is still true that Ray went on a rampage around the city.
 It's only natural that Ray should be confused when he's said to have been disciplined.

"Well, I don't think you have to worry about it. But from tomorrow..."
"Oh, I'm listening. I've got the prospect of destroying the wall."
"Yes, it's taken a lot of time, but I'm just trying to figure it out."
"A lot of artisans are stubborn,"

 Some of them were soft-witted craftsmen, but it seemed to Ray that most of them were stubborn because they were confident in their skills.

"There was a problem there, but there was a problem with the materials. So, what do you think? Can you help me with the construction work using earth magic?"
"Well, just as a request," Fortunately, I have nothing particular to do now. I'd like to do things like dismantling the gigant turtleneck."
"Oh, that's the case, but maybe we can help you."
"Huh?"
"The extensions are not always in need of adventurers, and... they seem to be gathering more adventurers than I expected." Some say they came from the Westian Empire and neighboring countries."
"...from the Empire of Bestia? Is that not the order to come and find out what it will be like to build the Gillum?"

 Previously, Gilm has caused several disturbances when the hands of the Westian Empire invaded.
 Ray then fought against the Westian Empire in the form of the commotion, eventually joining the war.
 Of course, the present-day Westian Empire is not necessarily a war because of the strong power of pro-Milliana people.
 But that doesn't mean that we won't look into Gillum's inner circle of attention seekers Ray in the kingdom of Milliana.
 Even if we are not hostile now, it does not change the fact that we are a country that started a war only a few years ago and is a potential enemy.
 That being the case, it's only natural to gather information about the three major factions in the country... if a neutral figure who knows how powerful they really are in the war and the civil war that ensues is going to make a big move.

"You're right and wrong. You don't think you're going to be explicitly hostile to Gillum. But at the same time, it's no surprise to think that we need to check that out."
"I don't really understand the difficulty, but do you mean I don't have to worry about the internal workings first of course.

 As long as you destroy the wall, you can be attacked by monsters at night.
 It was certain that a strange move in such a situation would be very troubling for Gillum.
 But Ray's worries are removed by nodding.

"Of course we don't leave it completely unchecked. I'm going to keep an eye on them to see if they's making any strange moves. and yet they will know it."

 As long as he proudly shows that he is from the Empire of Bestia, he may be looking for information within his sphere of action as an ordinary adventurer.
 Ray is quite convinced by the worker's explanation.

"Well, I'll leave that up to the guild," If such a fellow were to touch me strangely, I'd say something else."
"Hahaha. I don't think so."

 No other country would understand Ray as well as the Empire of Bestia.
 Ray is more famous among the inhabitants of the Empire of Bestia than Ray belongs to the kingdom of Milliana.
 ...however, unlike the kingdom of Milliana, which is regarded as a hero basically because of its own adventurer, it is a synonym for fear in the Empire of Bestia.
 Nevertheless, he was active in the civil war, and some of them are not so afraid...but some of them respect him.
 Basically, many of them belonged to Ray's armada during the civil war, or saw Ray's power up close.

"Well, then," ...and what are your plans from tomorrow?"
"...I would normally like you to take a few days off, but unfortunately we don't have much time to spare. and I would like to speak at once about the forest of Trent and the magic of the earth."
"When will the wall be destroyed?"
"I don't know exactly, but it's probably a few days."
"A few days? Then you've come back pretty well."
"Well, the artisans who destroy the walls are very skilled. Decide where to destroy properly, and break down only the walls there. They have such skills."
"Yes,"

 When Ray heard what the worker said, he remembered what he saw on TV while in Japan.
 a show in which buildings are blown up and demolished in America

(Well, if you're talking about a worker, it's only a part of the wall that's going to be broken, and it's more plain than that.)

 The use of explosives to destroy everything in one sitting in a fairly large building surprised Ray, who was watching it at the time.
 It was such a flashy and massive explosion, but to actually do it you have to do very detailed calculations, understand the structure of the building, figure out the direction it will fall... and so on.

(I don't know what the craftsmanship looks like, but I'll look forward to it.)

 As if he were going to see some attraction, Ray looks forward to the day the wall was destroyed.
 If the walls are broken, then of course there will be no protection against monsters at night.
 Also, since the boundaries that are usually set up on the guillem are along the walls, it is not possible to do so until now.
 Of course, the boundary will not disappear.
 There is no option of not being prepared for monsters attacking from the sky on the frontier.
 However, as long as it destroyed a part of the wall, it was not possible to achieve full performance as usual.
 That being the case, it's a lower priority than guarding monsters coming from destroyed walls, but it's still necessary to guard monsters coming from above.

"Anyway, when a wall is destroyed, there is no more break from it, and we need to get the work done as quickly as possible. What will be important in doing so will be the cooperation of Ray and other people who use earth magic.""... well, I suppose so,"

 Of course, it would not be impossible to build a new wall without leveling the ground.
 However, walls made without leveling the ground and walls made without leveling the ground.
 When asked which one is stronger, it's clearly a leveler.
 It is also unlikely that there will be some cavity under the ground.
 The area was probably under scrutiny when the guillem was made, but it has been a long time since.
 In the meantime, it's no surprise that some monster or animal has moved around in the ground near the guillem.
 It was only natural that earth magicians would be driven out to investigate it.

(And...)

 The worker looks at the lay in front of him again.
 Of course, the worker himself has never seen it, but I remember reading in the report that Ray's soil magic is not only about leveling the ground, but also about being able to manipulate it to a certain extent.
 In other words, it meant that the construction of a new wall could be somewhat shortened.
 Ray's cooperation will be vital if we are to do something about the lack of a wall as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid I'll cause you a lot of trouble, but thank you for your cooperation."

 Ray nods softly to the worker who bowed deeply again.
 The widening of the guillem is a welcome thing for Ray.
 That being the case, there is no need to hesitate to cooperate with it.
 ... of course I would refuse to work for free.
 Of course I'm working on a formal request this time, so I don't have to worry about that.
 Workers won't be thinking of letting the guild loose a very capable adventurer.
 The competent adventurer, however, causes many problems.

"Oh, I know," It's a welcome thing to see the guillem grow wider here."
"It would be a great help if you could say so," And I'd like to get back to the subject of this request, would that be all right?"
"Huh? Oh, I don't care."

 Come to think of it, I just handed over the request form. Thinking so, Ray explains to the workers about his retaliation for Leldact.
 Perhaps because the explanation was not so different from what I had previously told Dusker, Ray was able to speak much more smoothly.

"…I see. to the mine, too."
"Did it taste bad?"

 Ray asks the worker, wondering if he's ever...
 But the worker shook his head at Ray's words.

"No, that's not the case," Ray just listened to his client's requests."

 The fall of the mine was not exactly done by Dusker, but by Gayle, who was a neutralist like him.
 But workers don't blame it.
 It's not that I don't have any feelings for Ray's behavior, but I guess he decided to keep it within the scope of this request.

"What are you going to pay for this case? I can pay it right away."
"Oh... no, let me pay you for the addition of the guillem." I'll have it put together later."
"Well, if Mr. Ray says so, it would be a great help to me." though ordinary adventurers would try to get paid as soon as possible."

 The worker's words are not wrong, but in Ray's case... or, to be exact, in the case of high-ranking adventurers including Ray, it doesn't apply.
 Ray doesn't have to rush to get paid because he's not in financial trouble in the first place.
 In addition, since we were planning to receive the same kind of ore as flame ore, including the reward this time, it would have been less troublesome to have them put together later.

"Well, I'm going now," I haven't told you that I've come back to Marina, Vihela, or Bune."
"Yes, I see. I will contact you when the details of the wall matter are decided."

 Ray nods to the worker and stands up from the sofa.

(Now Marina carries Trent's forest trees, Vichela and Bune are city guards. ...should I come and see you here from Vihela after all.)

 with that in mind
