Receptionist Kenny smiles when he finds Ray in the guild.
　He said he was lucky that Rey would come when Lenora was away because of an errand with a guildmaster worker.
　...but when he saw a beautiful green-haired woman with Ray, he looked a little dissatisfied.
　But Ray didn't seem to notice Kenny's dissatisfaction at all and went to the guild's counter... without Lenora, of course, to where he was.

"Kenny, what about Lenora?"
"If it's Lenora, I'm going to the guildmaster." for a moment's errand So, Ray. Who is that beautiful woman, my client?"

　I don't mind if I'm a client.
　Kenny asks Ray with that thought, but Ray shakes his head.

"No, no. ... I came here because I wanted to ask Lenora or Kenny for a favor."
"...what do you want to ask? Is it a new member of the Red Lotus Wings?"

　Kenny asks, looking at Ilze.
　The dissatisfaction had already disappeared from Kenny's face, raising doubts.
　Kenny also sees many adventurers as a receptionist at the guild.
　He had, to some extent, enough eyes to measure his strength.
　From Kenny's point of view, Ilze, with Ray, did not appear to have the ability to belong to the Red Lotus wing... Rank B party.
　However, in the case of Bune, as is Bune, if not suitable for his rank, he has a certain level of combat power.
　From Kenny's point of view, Bune was undoubtedly more militant than Ilze.
　Therefore, I don't really agree with him if he is to join the Red Lotus wing.
　That's what I thought so.
　But contrary to Kenny's wishes, Ray shakes his head.

"No, he's not the new member of the Red Lotus wings. But I'm sure I'd like to ask you a favor about Ilze."
"...is it better not to be heard by others?"
"If possible,"

　Judging from Ray's appearance, Kenny probably decided it wasn't some kind of any joke.
　Look around and talk to the receptionist nearby.

"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving here to talk to Ray."
"... well, I hope I'm not busy right now. But come back as soon as you can."

　Many adventurers work for themselves, and there are few adventurers in the guild now during the day.
　It was, however, a comparison of mornings and evenings, and the number of adventurers was clearly higher than the usual... during the day before the extension.

"Yes, I'll be back as soon as I can." ...and when Lenora comes back, will you tell her that we went upstairs?"

　When Kenny asks for a message, he takes Ray and Ilze upstairs in the guild.

"Come on in,"

　Kenny led me to a small... six-mat room, as Ray recognized it, like a party, rather than a large conference room I've used several times before.
　There are several conference tables and chairs there.

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to use a bigger room if possible... but now I can't use the room over there."
"Can't you use it?"
"Yes. You know, a lot of things about the extension work that we're doing right now..."

　That made Ray understand.
　I don't know exactly what kind of people are using it, but I wonder if it's still occupied by the people involved in the extension work.

"That's all right," I don't say no to it unless it's a big room. "Well, I don't think it's a good idea to use such a large room for three of us."

　He must have been pleased with what Ray said. Kenny nods with a smile.

"I'd be glad if you could say so," ...and what is your business?"

　Ray and Ilze sit down and open their mouths to Kenny, who sits down and urges him to speak.

"Actually, there's something I'd like you to do for me,"
"Cooperation? Well, I don't mind listening to most of Ray's requests. Is it dangerous, by any chance."

　Kenny, the receptionist, naturally knows how talented Ray is as an adventurer.
　But I could imagine that it was not a matter of course because Ray was asking for help from me.
　Perhaps there is another great conspiracy going on?
　Kenny asks this anxiety to his heart, but Ray opens his mouth without showing any signs of nervousness.

"Do you know the adventurer, Ajas?"
"... adjust? Uh, wait a minute."

　Kenny closes his eyes to remember the name, which suddenly came up.
　Then I thought about it a little... and then I smiled, perhaps, as if I remembered it.

"Who has a snake tattoo on his left hand?"
"Yes, that's it,"

　When the word snake tattoos came out, Ilze, who was listening to Ray next to him, looked tense for a moment, but now he was silent whether he was going to leave it to Ray... or if he wanted to say anything about Ajas, he would be furious.

"Well, what's wrong with you, Mr. Ajas? It's not particularly noticeable or skillful, is it?"

　If you're in a rural village, it's no wonder you're the best adventurer in the village.
　But this is a remote guillem.
　In this area, where there are many skilled adventurers, Rank D adventurers are considered average...and in some cases sub-average abilities.
　The snake's tattoo on his left hand is probably the biggest reason why Kenny remembered such a person who could be called "imaginary."

"That adjustment," If possible, I'd like to work with you at your request. Can't you do something about it?"
"What? Isn't that impossible?"

　Simply... that's what Kenny dismisses Ray's opinion at a rate that could be called semi-reflectively.

"Can'tell me.
"Well... yes, I think it's a little difficult." In the first place, Ray is one of the most famous people in guillem? What kind of name do you use to act with a Rank D adventurer?"

　If you say so, Ray can't argue.
　Generally speaking, it's only natural that a well-known, high-ranking adventurer works with a Rank D adventurer, since it's a pretty special situation.
　Of course, if the other person is an adventurer who originally knew Ray, it is not unusual for them to act together through connections, but this time it is different.
　Ray knows about Ajas from Ilze or from information collected by Eggs, but Ajas doesn't know him.
　No, you know exactly, but should you express that you don't know each other directly?
　That's why it's hard to get Ray and Ajas together... Kenny has to say so.

"Can't you do anything about it?"
"Well... well... I don't think it's possible to do it alone, but I think we could do it if we could get a bunch of other adventurers together to work with Ray said. But in that case, I think it'll be a lot of trouble.""Is it troublesome?"

　Ray tilts his head at Kenny, who tells him something is stuck in his back teeth.
　But Kenny continues to explain, inwardly screaming with delight at Ray's attitude and keeping it secret.

"Yes. If you've always been an adventurer in Gillum, you know what kind of character Ray is, so I don't think you'll be fooling yourself anymore."

　Still, Ray's appearance may have influenced him in many ways.
　Maybe he's aware of it, but he just breathes a half-given sigh and says nothing more.
　Kenny opens his mouth again, smiling at Ray's appearance.

"But among those who came to this extension, there are many people who only know about Ray... because of his crimson. That's why some people may act strangely on their own assumptions."
"I suppose,"

　In fact, Ray has been entangled by some adventurers or even woodcutters, not adventurers.
　The rumor of crimson is that he burned down the entire army of the Westian Empire by himself, or that he would not forgive the nobles at all.
　No one would normally think of poking in on Ray when they hear the rumor.
　But... there are not a few who, after all, have the idea of gossip among themselves.
　A few still attribute the rumor to Ray's deliberate spread...or to the presence of Gryphon's Seto.
　What would they do if they had the chance to meet Ray... it was a little something Kenny didn't want to think about.
　However, it's partly because of Ray's concern, but in fact, even if he's an idiot involved in Ray, it's a necessary labor force for Guillum today.
　Any amount of labor is needed to build an extension of the guillem... all I have to do is to have it.
　The more people there are, the faster the completion of the extension of the guillem.
　However, there are also situations in which too many people come here and find it difficult to find a place to stay.
　As long as it's aimed at attracting a large workforce, Dusker certainly can't leave it alone.
　Some parts of Gilm were now building up to be used as an inn.
　Use an empty house that no one else has used as a temporary accommodation.
　It was a rather aggressive approach that Dusker could do because he was the lord of Gilm.
　However, since so many people had gathered in Guillum, Ray could not have treated him the same way as the people who had been there before.
　It's fair to describe Ray's fear, which is not based on his appearance, as someone who's actually felt it or not.

"But you needn't worry about it," and I'll be able to do it peacefully, unless I've done something so rashly."
"... in Ray's case, I can't believe that it's so gentle."

　Kenny has a strong affection for Ray, but he can't completely believe what Ray says.
　This is also because what Ray has done so far has an impact on him…so to speak, it was Ray's own fault.

"Anyway, if you're going to put the ajas in the crowd, then there's no problem?"
"Yes. Fortunately, I don't know how to say... but recently I've been told that there's a shortage of people in the woods of Trent. I think we can do something about it if it feels like it's the leadership."
"More in the forest of Trent? There are quite a few woodcutters over there, and adventurers cut down trees whenever they have time, don't they?"

　You can receive a commission fee as a guard for a woodcutter, and then you can get more money if you cut down more trees.
　For an adventurer, that's what you get paid for.
　Although Ray knew the Trent Forest was one of the most popular spots.
　When Kenny asks about it, he shakes his head and denies it.

"It used to be that way, but that's on the assumption that monsters don't appear in the forest of Trent?"
"Is that not the case now?"
"Well, I wonder if it's true that it's getting different... Little by little, monsters are starting to come out. and the adventurer must, of course, guard as requested?"
"I suppose,"
"... well, there were some adventurers who thought they didn't have to guard themselves and were absorbed in cutting down trees..."
"Wow,"

　Kenny's words give Ray a cry of surprise.
　The work of a woodcutter as a bodyguard is his duty as an adventurer, and the logging of trees is just an opportunity.
　Nevertheless, it was impossible to be blinded by the additional compensation and not to do the original job.

"Of course the adventurer could no longer accept the offer in the forest of Trent."

　Still, there are many other jobs besides the forest of Trent, and even such adventurers have to use it... the current situation in Guillum is that they have to master it.
　Of course, if you're really a terrible opponent...that's the kind of person like Ajas, who seems to be the enemy of Ilze, you have to do a lot of things.

"What should I do? I think this is all right for now."
"...please,"

　Ilze bowed deeply to Ray's words.
