1473 Episode 1473



"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

 Seto purges down into the forest of Trent.
 With that cet's cry, he must have understood who had come. In the forest of Trent, woodcutters and adventurers guarding them become active.
 Some adventurers walk out of the forest of Trent and wave loudly to indicate where Seto is getting off.

(I don't think you have to do it like that's all right.

 If Ray was on an airplane, that might have been meaningful, but it's Seto who's flying this time.
 Seto can decide where to get off on his own.
 Still, Ray caresses Seto and tells him to follow the instructions of an adventurer who is leading him on the ground.

"Seto, get down to the place he shows you."
"Grull".

 At Ray's words, Seto purges and descends to the earth.
 The adventurer welcomes Seto, who lands... and Ray with joyfully.

"Mr. Ray, set. Thank you for coming."
"...Lugluno, why are you so happy? I was here yesterday, too, right?

 I spent a long time in the woods of Trent yesterday.
 However, I wonder why I was so happy to welcome you today.
 Rugulno smiles somewhat in his joy at Ray.

"Actually, there are people who... who have failed a little bit in the felling of trees, and they are getting in the way of other woodcutters." I cut down the tree where I was walking."
"Ah... I see,"

 Seeing Rugulno like that, Ray understands the situation.
 It was probably not the woodcutter, but the adventurer who caused it, from the appearance of Rugulno.

(and not the adventurer who had been guarding the woodcutters for some time, but the adventurer who was sent here yesterday." he was the first to rush into the woods.)

 I listen very little to people and say that it's all right if I make a profit.
 If it were the actions of the adventurers who thought so, it would not be surprising if something like Lugluno had happened to Ray.
 In the first place, woodcutters are professionals in cutting down trees.
 They're cutting down trees with a good idea of where to fall down.

"Yesterday's men?"

 As Ray asks, Rugulno gives a mischievous smile.
 The mere sight of it made Ray decide.

"Actually, yesterday's pay was higher than I expected. That's why they were trying to increase their pay by cutting down trees again today."
"Are you blinded by money?"

 Whilst muttering, Ray feels a little sorry for Rugulno and the woodcutters.
 In the first place, I had an adventurer sent to the forest of Trent yesterday to find out about Ajas.
 But it is impossible to say that only Ajas... and that the other adventurers were sent to the forest of Trento has a strong camouflage effect.
 That's why if the people who were sent around yesterday are told that they caused the problem, then Ray, who suggested yesterday's case, will be held accountable.
 Unlike before, the Guild thought that the number of adventurers would have to increase as monsters appeared in the forest of Trent, and indeed the woodcutters had requested it, and the lords' houses had instructed them to do so.
 All Ray did was ride there.
 Normally, you don't have to feel that responsible, but as long as your suggestion is at stake, you still have to feel a little responsible.

"I understand what you mean. Anyway, the felled tree is in the way, isn't it? Then let's do something about it first."
"Thank you,"

 Hearing Ray's words, Rugulno guides him into the woods with relief.

"...wasn't it basically about cutting trees from the outside?"

 a few minutes into the woods Ray has such a question when he sees Rugulno continuing to move on without stopping.
 But Lugluno opens his mouth apologetically to Ray.

"Actually, it's better to cut down the trees in the best condition than to make money.
"Oh, yes. You don't have to say anything more. I understand most of it."

 What did the people who caused this uproar think of doing such a thing... Ray understood it without hearing it all the way.

(The woodcutters must be in a bad moody.

 I guess he's stopped working because of this trouble. Ray breathes as he watches some woodcutters look displeased.
 If I were to cause trouble, should I ask the guild to tell me exactly, or should I exercise my power to avoid doing anything selfish?
 While I'm thinking about it, I keep going through the woods, and eventually I see where the problem lies.
 As Rugulno said, the felled trees have fallen, blocking the path trampled down by woodcutters and adventurers.
 Of course, the thickness of the tree is not that great, so it's not something that we can't move around...
 But if you still act normally, the trees that have been cut down will be in the way.

"Hey, it's Ray. Here comes Ray."
"At last... oh, you've made such a nuisance of yourself." if the layman were to act foolishly, it would be a nuisance to me."
"Anyway, don't be free to come and go. "Well, it's a relief that Ray came just right."

 Listening to that kind of interaction, Ray glances around him.  
 those gathered around the felled trees
 A mixture of woodcutters and adventurers was at the sight of a few adventurers who seemed depressed, perhaps understanding their inadequacy in this situation.

"What you guys did this time?"
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 The men scream in terror at the thought of Ray's words.
 Watching them make Ray look foolish to deal with them.
 If you regret it, you don't have to do it from the beginning.

"Well, that's fine. You seem to be reflecting on yourself, and I have nothing to say this time. Listen carefully to Lugluno and work from now on. and if I do something like that again, I'll have to report it to you."

 In this case, it will be a guild.
 And explaining to the guild about the incident, naturally the adventurers who caused the disturbance will have a bad reputation.
 Besides, the guild will give you detailed information and you will be able to look at a lot of things in the future.
 There is a possibility that the building extension will not be able to keep up with the trend because it is a booming guillem.
 Perhaps because they understand it, the adventurers seem relieved by Ray's words.

(If you fail to do it now, you'll be at a loss. ...if you're thinking that way, you'll regret it. Is that all you have to yourself? I don't have to get involved.)

 I won't give you a report from Ray, but it's only from Ray.
 Other woodcutters and adventurers here don't necessarily report to the guild.
 All Ray said was that he would not report.
 But if anyone other than Ray reports, it will have the same effect as when Ray reports it, the answer is negative.
 A notorious high-ranking adventurer, but he's helped a lot with this extension, and the presence of Ray has significantly shortened the timeframe.
 Ray has so much ability that he has a strong influence.
 ...Of course, even if someone other than Ray reports it, the guild will see it a little harder."Come on, get out of the way for now," I'll put the tree in."

 At Ray's word, those around the tree leave.
 As he moves away, Ray feels a little relieved to see his goal, Ajas.
 Adjas pretending to be a good adventurer, so I didn't think he was heading for another job yesterday and today, but that doesn't mean he had absolute proof.
 That's why I was relieved to be able to see it in person.

(When this matter is settled, shall we take a stab at it at once? -- if you could give me a reaction, I'd be saved.)

 With this in mind, Ray makes sure everyone is away from the fallen tree and touches it and stores it in a mistling.

"Oh!"

 Shouts of astonishment from woodcutters and adventurers.
 Seeing the trees stored in the mistling almost every day, Ray couldn't see why it was so surprising.
 However, when Ray finishes storing the trees without particular concern for the surroundings, the woodcutters and adventurers who have been watching nearby return to their respective jobs.
 Lugluno looks sideways at the failed adventurers, and Ray talks to the person he wants... to Ajas.

"Yes, it was yesterday.
"It's been a long time since yesterday.

 say dumbfoundedly
 I don't think there's anything particularly guilty about it.

(What? It sounds strange, but there's no evidence at all right.) ...well, what shall I do?)

 Perhaps because of her dragon robe hood, Ajas doesn't know what Ray looks at her.
 I don't know... but I still understood that Ray was suspicious of something about himself in the atmosphere.
 That's why Ajas responds carefully to avoid being suspicious.
 To show you that you are a model adventurer.
 Although Ray suspects each other that Ajas is an enemy of Ilze and that Ajas knows something about Ray's back face, they only seem to be talking to each other from the sidelines.

"You've come to work properly to-day, haven't you?"
"Oh, I'll earn a decent amount of money for this job. though it's hard for some people to behave as selfishly as before."
"Well, I think it's better to run away to the comfortable side and earn money."

 Ray had hinted at attacking peddlers and robbing them of their money, but... he seemed to be asking if they were kidnapping people and selling them as slaves.
 It's a kind of miracle that the two of them are slightly different, but at heart they're still slightly different.
 However, although they were not very happy about it.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah But people want comfort, don't they?"
"I don't deny it,"

 It is wrong for an adventurer to make money by taking it easy.
 Ray said so, but in reality he destroyed various gangs of thieves and gained much of the treasure they had accumulated.
 It won't be convincing because the robbers have even called us robbers.
 Of course, I'm not really comfortable because I'm working to defeat the robbers.
 It's not really an act anyone can do.
 ...and because Ray has so much power, Ajas has to be wary of Ray approaching him.

"Well, let's leave the matter alone, what's the matter with Ray today?"

 He probably decided it would be inconvenient for him if the conversation continued. Ajas changes the story to misrepresent it.
 Ray also noticed that Ajas had forced him to change the subject, but decided that if he continued to talk more forcefully, Ajas would act prematurely, and went out on a new topic.

"I used to come to this forest of Trent every day. You saw it yesterday, too, because if you don't store the wood I cut, it will take a lot of time to carry it to Gilm."
"...item box?" I honestly envy you for having such a rare magic item."
"I suppose so. But..."

 So Ray pauses and casts a sharp glance at Ajas.

"There were a lot of people who wanted it, and yet it was still in my possession... Now, what happened to those who wanted to take it away from me?"

 Ray's gaze is half murderous.
 It made it easy for Ajas to imagine the consequences of the poor.
 At the same time, I can understand that whatever happens with my skill, I will never beat Ray.
 As a Rank D adventurer, Ajas has reasonable confidence in his abilities.
 However, I could understand that the person in front of me, Ray, was different from me in terms of his own personality.

(But I'm not trying to fight Ray.) If you can't win, you just have to fight.)

 Adjas, who has easily changed his mind, opens his mouth to appease Ray.

"Come on, don't be so murderous," I'm not aiming for an item box."

 I told them so and changed the subject.
