"Thank you!"
"Come again!"
"I hope you'll make some money again!"

　I can hear such a voice from behind.
　The residents of the village called Emisma, whom Rey and his colleagues came to, regretfully... yet make me feel happy.
　For Emma, the Reys were very welcome partners.
　There was a temporary decrease in the number of goods, including food in the village, but we could earn enough income to have no problems even if we prepared new goods.

"To be honest, didn't you let them make too much money?"

　As he continues to walk at the head of the party, he asks Marina, who Ray is nearby.
　Marina was the one who negotiated with the village mayor, so it turned out that it was just as Marina wanted to do that.
　...unless it was over the top of the negotiations, but as far as Ray knew, Marina always had the upper hand in negotiations with the village mayor.
　In terms of life experience, the village mayor and the marina outperform the marina in quality and quantity.
　In addition, Marina had the upper hand when many men went to see the women bathing in the river and were caught.
　Under such circumstances, it is highly unlikely that Marina would lose the negotiations.

"Well, but I was generous, and they were willing to hand over all sorts of supplies?"

　Marina's attention was focused on the horse-drawn carriage she had purchased more than originally planned.
　The horse was supposed to run out of horses, but the village also managed to get ready to take advantage of this opportunity.
　Of course, such imitations have left the village short of horses.
　Marina's overpriced purchase, however, allowed both sides to close the deal without any complaints.

(Well, I paid for it temporarily, but I can get it back as a necessary expense when it arrives at Gilm.)

　In that sense, Guillum... and Dusker are probably the ones who lost the most in this transaction.
　However, the successful completion of the transaction also means that the Layers are moving faster, which is definitely a positive overall.

"Well, that's a relief to us, too. Especially...

　Ray's once-talked gaze is turned to his back.
　The women who made up the majority of this party were visible.
　Until we went to the village, there were many women dressed just like prostitutes, but now there are many who wear ordinary clothes.
　It's the result of buying clothes in the village and sewing clothes while the laymen are negotiating.
　I stayed in the village for about half a day, so the clothes I sewed up during that time are by no means well made.
　Still, it was probably satisfactory enough for those who hated to dress as prostitutes.
　Of course, the merchants I encountered on the way and the cloths and clothes I bought in the village were not enough to prepare clothes for nearly 1,000 people.
　However, it was also true that a considerable number of people were dressed as prostitutes.
　Elena, Vihela, and Marina nodded, perhaps following Ray's gaze.

"Well, if we continue to buy clothes and cloths in villages and towns along the way, everyone will eventually be able to wear ordinary clothes. Besides, if we keep increasing the number of horses and cabs, we may all be able to move by cab."
"Then we'll move a lot faster." ...however, if there were nearly a thousand people on board, the number of horse-drawn cabs would be commensurate with it. Can I take it to Gilm?"
"Isn't it okay?"

　Marina with a smile answered the outspoken question from Vihela.

"I don't think there are enough cabs in the guillem now for extensions and so on."
"Ah... well, that's right." Well, it doesn't matter how many cabs there are. I don't think it's hard to find a place to put it in."

　carry a person's baggage
　In today's guillem, there was no problem with the number of horse-drawn carts.
　And the guillem isn't so small that there's no room for a carriage.
　In that sense, we could have been thanked for procuring a carriage.

"Well, you might think it's a little too expensive for the quality of the carriage." I'll ask you to put up with it."

　Marina had no qualms about telling Dusker that, but not many people could come out this strong against him.
　Marina's knowledge of Dusker's childhood is probably the main thing.

"Well, I'll leave the negotiations to Marina. But don't pull them off too often."
"Well, I know,"

　Marina said so with a smile, but when asked if she really knew it, Ray couldn't understand it.
　Ray looks at the sky, as if to mislead a subtle bad feeling.
　The sun is already turning into a sunset, partly because of my nearly half-day stay in Emma.

(Would it have been better to camp out near that village? No, but now I want to earn some distance.) Then it would have been better to proceed even for a few hours, right?)

　Even if it's only a few hours today, it's likely that if you repeat it over and over again, you'll be able to save a day, two, or three days in the end.
　It's still summer, so the journey isn't that hard, but it's not always summer.
　Given the number of people travelling, it was autumn that we would arrive at Gilm...and fall would have been the end of autumn.
　If you're not good at it, there's a possibility that winter will enter.
　However, Ray and other members of the Red Lotus wings are all very good adventurers.
　You don't have to struggle to get enough money for the winter.
　Even Bune, who is the slowest, has enough money to save... and above all, if he finishes this request from Dusker, he can expect a great deal of compensation.

"Grull!"

　As Ray walks down the road, he thinks, and suddenly Seto runs away with a cry.
　For a moment I wondered if he was an enemy, but when I saw Sett driving into the woods a short way off the road, I immediately realized that it was not an attitude toward the enemy, but an attitude toward the prey.
　And seeing the deer run away into the forest for a moment through a gap in the trees, it's obvious what Seto meant to run into the forest.

"Ray, what's wrong with Seto?"

　One of the women asks Ray in surprise at Seto's sudden departure.
　The woman, a little upset, was one of the women who loved Seto... thinking so, Ray shook his head with his hood on.

"I saw a deer in the forest, so you probably went to catch it. Don't worry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

　While talking, Seto emerges from the forest.
　A hornless deer is gnawed at its mouth.

(Do you mean female without horns? Well, depending on the type of deer, some deer have horns.)

　The only deer that appeared in the mountains near Ray's house in Japan had horns.
　But something tells the reindeer that not only males but also females have horns.

"Well, I'm glad we got fresh meat. I'll put it away for now."

　Normally, if you are an ordinary animal, let alone a monster, you should immediately bleed it and disassemble it.
　But now that I'm on the move, I can't possibly do that.
　No, it's no wonder there's a horse-drawn carriage, but now women are desperately making clothes in the carriage.
　Where such work is being carried out, there's no way we'd be able to dismantle the deer.
　Fortunately, there is no time in Ray's mystery ring.
　That's why they chose to store it in a mistling now and dismantle it after today's move.
　When Seto approaches with a deer in his arms, he puts the deer in front of Ray.
　The attitude comes from knowing exactly what Ray is thinking.
　Ray also knows that the more they stop moving, the slower they stop moving, so a moment's pause puts the deer in the mistling."Grunt? Grunt".

　Ray gently caresses Seto, who cries out "great or great."
　It wasn't that big a deer, but it was nevertheless a deer.
　A thousand or a hundred people is impossible, but a few dozen... well, it's probably possible to fill a dozen people's stomachs.
　Of course, each individual eats differently, but Ray predicted that it would probably be that much.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　The tendon can be used as an ingredient in cooking as well as as as a bowstring. Horns can be used as figurines and as ingredients for medicine, though not in the mares that Seto has caught this time.

"You've caught it well,"

　After being praised by Ray, who loves her, Seto chants happily.
　The woman who had just spoken to Ray looked at him enrapturedly.

(The number of likes of set is increasing smoothly.)

　Seeing such a woman... and seeing other women around her with similar expressions, Ray thinks so.
　In fact, it was a natural trend for many women to like Seto.
　Basically, this group walks all day.
　Under such circumstances, it was natural to find other pleasures, rather than hobbies and jobs that would normally be possible.
　And even if you find pleasure, there are only a few things you can do while walking.
　Some women enjoy conversations with resistance men who happen to be nearby, creating a slightly better atmosphere.
　But basically this group was brainwashed and forced to prostitute.
　Since I don't like myself, and now that I've just met someone for the first time, I've had the experience of being greedy... and still remembering when I was a prostitute, there are many people who can't talk comfortably with men.
　Quite a few people are close to mild male phobia.
　...but I guess the reason why I can talk to Ray normally is simply because his face is feminine and doesn't make him feel like a man.
　Also, Ray's personality is that he doesn't openly look at women dressed as prostitutes.
　That area deserves to be called a prostitute or a dancer...or, in some cases, more sensational than that, Vichela.
　Anyway, for such women, loving Seto is the greatest pleasure on the road.
　At first, many people were afraid of Seto, but it's not hard to see the lovely side of Seto when you look at him.
　And a few curious women... really, dreadfully, didn't need that much time to speak to Seto.
　Seto is unrelenting to his enemies and opponents, but he is naturally friendly.
　It was only natural for them to take care of themselves with a squeal of joy.
　Then naturally, other women will be interested in Seto and want to caress her.
　As a result, it was a pleasure on the road for many women to love Seto.

"Here, Seto," Come here. There's blood on the stick, so I'll wipe it for you. This is a piece of cloth left over when I made it, so it's pretty."
"Oh, I'll stroke you. Thank you for catching the deer."
"Look, you want to stroke Seto too, don't you? Then be a little more aggressive."
"Oh, but... Uh, yes." All right. ... Hey, Seto. Can I touch that soft hair a little by little?"
"Then I'm the tail!"

　Listening to these interactions, Ray looks at Seto surrounded by women.

(If I continue to go to Gilm, I think I'll cause a lot of trouble with Mireinu and Johanna, right? Yes, if Seto says he doesn't want it, he won't cause a lot of trouble.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ）

　Ray was somehow worried about his return to Gilm.
