Putting the guilded monsters out of the warehouse, they leave the guild with a brief chat with Lenora and Kenny, with guild staff and no jobs, some of whom are on the sidelines of disassembling the monsters.
　I didn't feel anything special when I housed the monster's body, but it was still very convenient for Ray to see them.

(Gigant Turtle... by the way, he said he would let the adventurer tear it down.) In the first place, gigant turtles are definitely conspicuous because they don't fit in the warehouse and have to be dismantled outside. In other words, it's a good advertisement for guilds, too.)

　The guild of guillem, however, is sure to have a considerable name value.
　I don't know if there's any point in acting more conspicuously in the situation... at least Ray didn't know.

(Well, don't I have to think about that? そのDon't I have to think about that? Guilds must be thinking a lot. Now, anyway, I'm going to call Seto into the forest of Trent... Huh?

　let's go
　That's what Ray was thinking, but suddenly I feel like I've heard a familiar voice, so I look at it.

"So, you know what? Ray isn't very much of a man, but he's not an ordinary guy. Getting involved makes me unhappy!"
「……」

　Ray never thought he'd be so outspoken about his background, but he didn't say what he was talking about... Melan didn't say what he wanted to hear it.
　No, you wouldn't even have noticed that Ray was here at all.
　Normally, I would have avoided getting involved, but if the person that Melan is talking to is Ilze, the story will be different.
　Yesterday he was asked to help with his revenge, and his reply was treated as pending, but for Ray, his client... exactly who is going to be his client.
　If the person had been implicated in his own background, he could not have left it alone.
　Usually, Ray leaves it alone because he knows that he is being noticed and envied in many ways.
　He became a notorious high-ranking adventurer in his mid-teens, much less a demon of the Gryphon Seto, so he could not have been jealous."
　But Ray is unrelenting to his adversaries.
　That being the case, he couldn't make a stab at him, let alone try some trick, which was too dangerous to tip his life.
　Ray is not as intelligent as he sees through his opponent's tricks.
　But... purely too strong a fighting power.
　No matter how much you trap it, it's nothing but trouble because it's someone who destroys it with calm force.
　The last thing they could do was talk behind Ray's back.
　Ray has something very high in combat, but there are many other shortcomings.
　That point was the best offensive material for those who spoke behind their backs... or no, it was a mouthpiece.
　It is, however, something to say within the circle, not to make Ray sound like this.
　At any rate, Ray approaches Melan, who speaks behind his back, even though he says he is unintentional.
　Some of the people around him looked at him, partly because he was talking behind his back in a loud voice.
　That's probably why they could see Mellan and Rey approaching Ilze.
　Open your eyes wide and distance yourself from Melan's location to avoid getting caught up in the commotion.
　The first person to notice such a situation was Ilze, who had been told by Melan.
　For some reason, he notices that there is no one around him, and looks around him listening to Melan's story.
　What I saw was Ray approaching me from behind me.
　Remembrance of what Melan was saying made Ilze look depressed as he anticipated a disturbance.
　Melan didn't notice what was going on around her, but she must have noticed Ilze's expression in front of her.
　open one's mouth with a mystified expression on one's face

"Huh? Why..."
"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to talk about people behind their backs in a loud voice."

　Melan's movement pauses momentarily at the sound of a voice coming from behind.
　Sure enough, Melan knew more than enough who had that voice.
　Melan himself challenges Ray to a duel and is flatly rejected.
　Melan couldn't mistake the voice of a wall-like presence that blocked her as a high-ranking adventurer and lover of Vihela.
　What's more, you'll think of it all the more if you hear the word behind your back.

"Ray, why are you here..."

　It was undoubtedly Ray in Melan's view, as he turned to his voice from behind.

"When I passed by here, I heard you're talking about me behind my back... No, cursing? Anyway, I heard you're talking about it. I won't tell you not to talk behind people's backs, but you'd better tell them not to hear you."

　It wasn't meant to make fun of the other person, it was pure advice.
　This is because he thought it would be strange to be talked about behind his back because Ray is often jealous of others.
　What's more, Melan had a reason to be hostile to Rey, Vihela.
　But... the remark, which was told without particular intentions, sounded nothing but contempt for Melan.
　I still didn't explode my frustration here because I was responsible for talking behind my back so that Ray could hear me.
　Originally, Melan didn't mean to talk behind her back to people around her.
　But as I talked to Ilze, he became increasingly excited, and his voice grew louder and louder before he realized it.
　Under these circumstances, Mellan has mixed emotions, including repulsion, shame, conviction, and jealousy.

"I'm sorry. I can't help but give you strength."

　Still, it must be because of Melan's pride that he was able to express his sincere apology to Ray.
　Ray is a little surprised when he thinks he's going to be very hostile.
　Wasn't it that he was acting out of his depth?

"Well, that's all right. But it's disgraceful to have an argument on such a high street."
"...that's..."

　At Rey's words, Melan turns to Ilze.
　Ilze opens his mouth without worrying about Melan's gaze.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray," Actually, I think I found out that you were with Ray yesterday."
"Ah... I see,"

　For Melan, Ray is a very unreliable personality, let alone an adventurer.
　There is also a preconceived view that she is a lover of Vihela, but objectively it was not wrong.
　In a way, it was only natural for such a woman to tell her that she should not be involved with Ray because she had just met him.

"... Ray. Why are you so close to Ilze?"
"I'm not saying I'm close,"

　There is no lie in Ray's words.
　In fact, Ray talked to Ilze because he wanted help with revenge, not because he wanted to be close to him... specifically, he wanted to woo him.

(But as far as Ilze is concerned, he doesn't seem to be talking about revenge.) ...it's only natural if you think about it.)

　In Ray's eyes, Melan seems to think that all the right things are right... that's how he thinks.
　Of course, being a decent adventurer, it is inconceivable that I have never had an unreasonable experience.
　It's not unreasonable to challenge Ray to a one-sided duel and lose.
　Ray would be unreasonable when he was challenged to a duel unilaterally.

"You're obviously close to Ilze, aren't you?"
"Well... was it because of a little bit of a clue?"
"A bit of a clue?"

　Mellan seemed confused, but Ray didn't know what to say at once, so he just said whatever he wanted to reasoned.
　Ilze probably understood that. open one's mouth with tact

"Well, Mr. Ray saved me from being entangled by an adventurer. So I only treated him to dinner as a token of my gratitude."

　If you know Ray, it's no surprise to think that Ilze's words 'suicide...'
　In fact, there are some people around me who are keeping their distance from the Reyes and still watching what will happen, with some pitiful glances at Ilze.But Melan, who has gathered some information about Ray but doesn't know he has a bottomless appetite, is convinced by Ilze's words.

"What, I see. I wish you would say so."
"...but I don't think I believed it,"

　Ray's whisper must have been heard. Melan put on a momentary look of dissatisfactionally dissatisfied.
　But he soon returns to his calm expression.

"What's the relationship between Ilze and Melan? Is it actually a love affair?"
"What?"

　Ilze and Melan speak out together at Rey's words.
　However, even if the voices are the same, the emotions contained in them are not the same.
　Melan is semi-confused, while Ilze wonders why he is?
　Of course, Ilze doesn't hate Melan either.
　You can see a little bit of self-righteousness, but you still know you're worried about yourself.
　Still, for Ilze, Melan was still a person he had just met and, if not very much, could not be seen as such.

"As far as they are concerned, they are not lovers."
"Of course,"

　At Ray's words, Ilze asserts without a moment's hesitation.
　Melan was a little shocked to see Ilze look like that.
　Of course, Melan has just met and she has a girlfriend named Vihela.
　Still, it wasn't interesting to be told whether I was going out with him or not, and to be immediately denied without hesitation.

(Huh?)

　I don't know why Mellan is shocked, but if she is still declared not to be a lover... she opens her mouth.

"If Ilze is Melan's lover, she may have the right to interfere in the relationship, but if not, I don't care who Ilze is going to go out with?"
"That's... a friend, so it's only natural that you should be worried."
"Maybe so, but after all, my friend is a friend, right? I don't think the relationship is that good. Isn't it too much of a friend's opinion to complain because we ate together?"
"That's..."

　In fact, Melan probably thought she would be unhappy if she were told so by someone who wasn't even her boyfriend.
　There was no sign of any further rebuttal to Ray's words.

"I understand what Melan wants to say, but you've only just met her, and I think you'd better think about it and act."
"Slip..."

　Melan, who can't say anything back, is at a loss for words.
　Still, Melan looked at Ray with discontent.
　With that kind of gaze on him, Ray continues to speak without any particular concern.

"What's wrong with your work today, Mellan?"
"...today is my day off."

　Melan told me discontentedly, but it was not a lie or a fact.
　I'm patrolling in the form of a security guard, but I can say that the work is quite hard.
　This is because there are so many adventurers there will be so many disturbances.
　Since it solves that problem, naturally the people on the lookout are severely exhausted.
　Therefore, if the adventurer is tired, he or she will be given a rest so that he or she does not get hurt badly.
　Melan was on the break today.
　He insisted that he was still OK, but decided that the guild wouldn't be able to do it, so he had an unwanted holiday.
　Vichela was able to move without any problems, and she thought herself worthless.
