A few days after seeing Ilze off... he and Bistol seem to be busy, and we haven't seen each other yet.
　In the midst of this situation, Ray and his colleagues were dressed up for breakfast outside in the summery blue sky and the clouds of entering the priesthood.
　We usually have dinner in the garden, but either we have breakfast in the house or Ray, Vihela and Bune in the dusk Wheat-tei dining room.
　In the meantime, I wonder why I'm having breakfast at Marina's house today... the word "change of pace" is appropriate.
　Of course, there is no doubt that the summery weather has something to do with it.
　Elena and Arra also have nothing to do while Ray and others are away on business.
　That's why the Lays were eating a little more luxurious breakfast than usual...

"Oh,"

　Suddenly Marina muttered during the meal, drinking soup made of summer vegetables and dried sea fish.
　The slightly amusing voice casts the gaze of all the people who were eating.
　The members here, however, are Ray and others on the wings of the Red Lotus, and Elena and Arra, who are evacuating to Marina's house.
　Some horses pull yellow and carts.
　At any rate, it's no surprise to hear Marina's words of amusing emotion.

"And what happened? I hope it's not troublesome."
"Mr. Customer,"

　Marina responds to Ray's words and Elena and Arra look disgusted as they listen.
　Elena and Arra live in Marina's house, but it is not uncommon for aristocrats and merchants to come to see them.
　That's why Elena and Arra basically ignore such visitors.
　Marina opens her mouth reassuringly, though they wonder if that kind of person is here again.

"I'm not the one who came to see Elena," This is Dusker's men."
"Dusker's? I see, and what progress has been made in the case of Ajas?"
"I don't know," If you come, it would be quicker to talk to them in person. Shall we wrap up the meal?"
"Squeak!"

　Hearing the end of his meal, he cries regretfully as he eats a piece of oak ham as big as his body.
　By the way, right next to the table where the Reys are having a meal, Seto is eating a huge oak package that makes you wonder if it's good to eat in the morning.
　The name of the dish is "kudayaki," but it's exactly steamed.
　a dish made by wrapping meat spiced with giant leaves and steaming it
　Steamed, of course, takes time to cook, so this is not what Ray baked this morning, but what he bought in the store and stored in a mistling.
　It was a dish for a group of four or five people, but for a set meal, it was only enough for one person to eat.

"Grull".

　In fact, Seto was eating the rest of the meat, purring at Marina's words.
　Others eat the rest of the food... and then the marina stands up.

"Well, it seems like you're here, so I'll excuse myself for a moment."

　That's what Marina says, and she leaves.

"What do you think?"
"What do you think? As for Ajas, you came to us to ask for something...?"

　That's all Ray answers to the expectant Vihela.
　In fact, given the fact that the messenger of the Dusker has come all the way, it's only natural to assume that it's because there's something to do so.

"Well, if that's the case... the country where the organization ordered Ajas to go, wasn't it the country you wanted me to go to?"
"Oh, there's a good chance of course. But the question is, in that case, who is going to go?"

　Ray tells her so, but Vichela naturally has the attitude of going.
　It's not uncommon for current patrols to end up fighting against a certain strong opponent.
　However, there are still so many upsets in the city, such as minor fights, that the tense battles that Vihela expects rarely happen.
　Vichela, who repeatedly fought half-fights, has fallen into frustration -- a desire to fight.
　In the battle of Ilze's vengeance, Vichela fought against Jestal's bodyguard, but he was not a very skillful opponent.
　That's why it's about time we fought hard against our strong opponents.
　It's no use thinking that Vihela.

(Revulina is, however, a tributary of the Kingdom of Miliana. a very small country if that is the case, I don't think there are very few combatants that Vihela could enjoy.)

　That's how Ray looks at the rest of the group.
　Bune, however, does not particularly alter her expression as usual, and Elena only looks a little depressed.
　Elena is here for all the advice, weight, and watchtower... for all the reasons why the aristocrats should not imitate her further in the ongoing building of the guillem.
　That being the case, Elena's departure from Gillum is nothing short of putting the cart before the horse.
　Elena knows it. I know... but I'm still honest that I want to be with Ray and the man I love.
　Unlike Marina and Vihela, who are partying with Ray, Elena is not a member of Ray's party or an adventurer before that.
　That being the case, it was only natural for a woman to envy and envy Marina and Vihela, who were always with Ray.
　Of course I'm not thinking of monopolizing Ray.
　But it was inevitable that I still wanted more time with Ray if I could.

(Dear Elena)

　Elena's confidant and best friend, Arla, understands Elena's feelings as a matter of course.
　But it was still dangerous in many ways to say it now.

"Wait a minute,"

　Marina's voice suddenly reverberates in the morning air.

"Oh? It was a customer, wasn't it?

　Vihela asks if she doubts Marina's solitude.
　Vichela may be dissatisfied with why she didn't bring him, as she might expect to fight against a strong opponent.
　But Marina opens her mouth with a smile to calm her down.

"He wants Dusker to come to the lord's house," -- all here."
"...what?"

　It was understandably Elena who muttered to Marina's words in a way that she didn't understand at first.

"Marina, let me confirm. Do you mean all here, not only by the members of the Red Lotus wings, but also me and Arla?"
"Squeak!"

　Don't forget yourself, Yero cries on the back of Seto, who had been moving before he knew it.

"Oh, yes," There was also a yellow. Are you talking about us, too?"
"Yes, everybody here. I asked the messenger again just in case, and she wanted Elena to come, too. I'm going to talk to my boss about my work, so there's no problem if I'm late."
"...why?"

　Elena has already met with Dusker personally to report on the day Ilze avenged.
　Dusker was very busy every day, but he still had to ask Elena, who had been sent from the nobility.
　However, I was already busy to make that time, but I became even busier.
　Despite Dusker's busyness, Elena couldn't see why she was calling herself back after she had already told her story.

"Well, there's no doubt that Elena is working with us, and that's because of our relationship, or that it's kind of unsavory to just invite them because they live with us."Elena was questioned by Vihela's words, but she had no option of not going out if she was also called.
　Besides, it is often boring to just stay at Marina's house, so if you can go with her, that's all right, and I nod.

"All right, I don't know why Mr. Dusker called me, but if he did, I'll go."

　If Elena nods to his words, Arra will follow him as a matter of course... and immediately arrange a carriage.
　Normally, a carriage would not hold everyone here, but Elena's carriage had magically expanded its interior space.
　It's a very convenient thing to travel in such a large group.
　At first glance, a carriage is not so expensive that it does not attract attention.
　...however, if Sett had been by the carriage, it would have been obvious who was in it.
　It's also easy for a discerning eye to see that the carriage is, of course, something of great value.
　And now, many merchants are gathered in Gilm due to the extension work, and there are many well-known people.
　As a result, the carriage went to the lord's house, attracting more attention than expected from its set and quality.





"I'm sorry to trouble you to come."

　When Dusker sees the Ray and others in his office, he tells them so.
　But soon I'll turn my attention back to the document at hand.

"I hope you'll wait a little while, for this sheet will settle the matter."
"Oh, you're going to keep us waiting while you call us? ... Well, I don't know if you see the amount of the papers."

　Marina tried to make fun of Dusker for a moment, but she couldn't say anything more if she looked at the pile of papers on her desk.
　He was looking at Dusker anxiously.
　Dusker, however, did not seem to care about it and asked the maid to bring him tea and sweets, and she returned to the papers.
　Then the laymen sat on the sofa, and a little later... almost at the same time as the maid brought tea and sweets, and Dusker finished reading the papers and signed them into the sorting crate.
　As soon as Dusker moves from his desk to the sofa, he opens his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I made you wait even though you came."
"I don't care. ...but isn't there a little too much work to do? If you do this every day, you'll ruin yourself."

　Marina has known Dusker for a long time.
　That's not acceptable that Dusker is too busy with his work to be physically damaged, given that he's known him since he was a child.

"Oh, yes," In a little while I should be less busy. If that happens, I'll be able to relax to some extent, so I'll be patient until then. -- now,"

　Returning his words to Marina, Dusker glances again at the Reyes sitting on the sofa.
　And when she sees Elena and Arra standing behind her as bodyguards, she opens her mouth.

"I beg your pardon, Elena,"
"No, I don't mind. I'm always free here, too."

　In fact, Elena has nothing particular to do and often spends her time at Marina's.
　During the day, I have nothing particular to do, so I'm playing mock games with Arra.
　...thanks to that, Arra has improved her combat skills considerably in this short period of time, making her very fulfilling days.
　It is true, however, that there was Elena's desire to dispel the loneliness of Arra's separation from her friend.

"That's the best of all," but I wish you would wait a little longer, as I shall be the last to talk to Mr. Elena."

　At Dusker's words Elena nods softly and reaches for the tea on the table.
　You don't have to reach out to baked sweets because you've just finished breakfast.
　But Bune, who is naturally greedy to eat, reaches for the baked sweets.
　After a moment's smile at Bune, he returns to Dusker's face as lord of the next moment he speaks.

"Now, I suppose you have a faint expectation... that the Lays, or the Red Lotus's wings, should go to Levulina." Not to mention the reason?"

　I told you so.
