Those who were there looked at the man before them, each of whom seemed strange... with a really strange expression.
　A small person was right in front of my eyes.
　He's a man who doesn't seem to be leading nearly a thousand people.
　I couldn't see everything on their faces because they were hooded, but I still thought they were younger than us.
　Of course, there are some people in the world who, like Dwarves, remain short when they reach adulthood, but Ray's figure doesn't make him look like a Dwarf at all.
　No, there is no dwarf-like beard on the chin that can be seen even with the hood on.
　In other words, Ray was definitely not a dwarf.
　The reason why he didn't look down on Ray was probably because Gimekara was so personally conscious and went out of his way to collect him.
　If this was an adventurer in the neighborhood, there must have been a lot of trouble.

(I wish I had brought Sett with me.)

　Ray, who has already given up on his appearance, looks to the exterior wall thinking that he will be hunting outside the city.
　the Gryphon of Rank A Monster ... exactly as a rare species, it's rank S, but senior officials were reluctant to let the set into the city.
　I put such monsters into the city and wonder what they would do if they went on a rampage.
　Gimekara's name for the Zorgay trade was not accepted in the end.
　Of course, from Ray's point of view, he could have gotten Seto into the city with some forceful hand.
　In the first place, Sett is registered as Ray's follower in the guild.
　With that as a shield, it's hard for anyone in the upper reaches of the city to turn it down.
　If you forcefully refuse there, the relationship between Dolgana and the guild will definitely deteriorate.
　Ray knew that, but if he did so from the standpoint of being allowed to use the city today, there was a possibility that he would end up with unnecessary trouble for the rest of course.
　Given the circumstances, Ray chose to leave Sett temporarily.
　Leaving, however, is only about Ray while he's in town.
　Since there are nearly a thousand laymen, it is natural that no one can stay at an inn in the city.
　Before that, few people had money, as many had left Jaya in their clothes.
　Some may have brought rings and jewels from customers, but only a few of them are.
　What's more, it's not clear how many people will stay at the inn where they might miss their sleep, as long as they're not there to-morrow morning when the nine o'clock bell rings.
　Of course, if you've decided to stay in Dolgana, that's fine.

"I know pretty much what you think when you see me. ...and so, Shall we try a mock game? and if I were strong enough to convince you, you would have nothing to complain about."

　Judgment in the event of an event will also be important to lead a party.
　However, the quickest way to reassure yourself at times like this is to show your strength.

"Oh, is that okay? Well, we're pretty good at looking like this."

　A woman in front of Ray's gaze says so.
　Most of the laymen are women, and there are quite a few women among the guards.
　One of those women said so out of concern for Ray.
　As a woman, Ray probably didn't think he could play mock battles with them, though he had a small build.

(Didn't Gimekara mention me?)

　I questioned that, but for the time being, I needed to show my strength considering the future.

"It's all right. I look like this, and I'm confident in my arms."
"...is that so?"

　The confident look on Ray's face forces the woman to withdraw.
　In fact, if there is someone like Ray, there is a possibility that some people will despise Ray's power.
　In order not to do so, we still had to show our strength here.
　The concern that Ray is the child he seems to be is also turned down by him.
　If you're that confident, I'm not sure. The woman... and the others may well think.

"Then I'll go first... Is it really okay?"

　The first woman to care about Ray takes it upon herself, saying that.
　It's a mock battle, so it's a bare‐handed battle without using weapons.
　But if Ray used his usual weapons, such as death size and twilight spears, he would be in a state of perfect tact.
　Others around him also look at how powerful Ray is with such a big mouth.
　The fact that no one complains about a woman fighting Ray is probably a sign that she has more than a certain amount of influence among the bodyguards here.

"Come on,"

　A short word came out of Ray's mouth, and the woman rushed forward.
　The first thing you mean is to wait and see. The released fists, in both speed and force, were almost impossible for a woman to have achieved her maximum strength and speed.
　The woman might have intended to stop Ray from responding to the blow.
　But... I noticed that the woman was flying in the air.

"What!"

　I didn't know why I was in this situation, but I still twisted myself in the air and landed on the ground.
　Seeing that Gimekara had chosen an adventurer, and that he had never struck himself to the ground, Ray had a slight appreciation for the female adventurer in him.
　However, judging the opponent's ability only by his appearance, Ray is still lacking in ability.

"What are you going to do? Do you still want to do it?"
"Oh... no. Now I know. ...no, I found out that I didn't know what had happened."
"Well... what about the others?"

　Everyone else shakes their heads at Ray's words.
　With this series of moves alone, Ray understood that they had overwhelming strength different from themselves.

"Then you have no complaints about the bodyguards? I don't know if you know them, but the women who are with us have a lot of reasons. Many people hate men, so be careful about that."

　The guards nod back to Ray's words.
　Confirming it, Ray has a few brief meetings and moves on to the next place.
　The guards exchange words as they watch Ray leave.

"I can't believe that such a child has so much power,"
"Well, at first I thought you looked down on me, but... when you showed me your ability."
"I know I threw it, but I didn't know how to throw it."

　Each of them talks and looks at the woman who was thrown at him as if it were natural.

"Do you remember how it was thrown?"
"No, I hit him and he was already in the air. I have no idea what will happen to me."

　Those who remain here understand Ray's high ability.
　What and how can such a child be so powerful?

"Anyway, we have a lot of reasons to defend, so let's do our best not to give up on our clients." If you succeed, you'll get a good reward."

　The others nodded to the man muttering so.





"Are you ready to keep your leaves?"

　When Ray arrives at the stable, Gimekara nods with a big smile.

"Yes, of course. Don't worry, we've prepared enough quantity to spare before we arrive at Gilm. but not so many here."

　Some people beside Gimekara look at Ray with mysterious expressions.I wonder why I don't understand why Gimekara is so bad at appearing.
　Ray, who had a similar look from the previous bodyguards, spoke without particular concern, even though he was looked at rudely by those who might have worked in the stable.

"I saw the bodyguards, and they seemed to have a good character, not to mention their skill. It helps."
"No. I wanted to introduce people who were good at both skills and personalities, but... they couldn't get together that easily."
"I suppose,"

　A good adventurer of both skill and character naturally enjoys great popularity.
　It was impossible for the Sorgean trade association, which has a great influence in the country of Lavrellina, to gather a large number of such people."
　Also, even if you are an adventurer who is said to be good at it, it's only in a small country.
　Compared to Gilm's adventurers, many of whom are skilled adventurers, it is undeniably inferior in strength.
　Guimekara probably chose it based on his personality rather than his skill because he understood it.

"And it's a tame,"
"Yes, everything in that warehouse was purchased here, so please do not hesitate to take it with you."
"I'm sorry. ... I can't carry it alone, whether it's for tame or for food or water, can I? We can't be together forever."




























"There is no need to worry about it," We have a horse-drawn carriage ready to carry the goods properly."
"...huh,"

　Ray exclaimed with surprise and admiration that he had prepared enough horse-drawn carts to carry supplies.
　In fact, a horse-drawn carriage carrying that much supplies would require a considerable number.
　Even though it was necessary to prepare a large number of horse-drawns for nearly a thousand people, they prepared a carriage to carry goods... and a horse to pull the carriage.
　That would naturally require a lot of money.
　Knowing this, but having prepared a carriage for supplies, meant that Gimekara... or, indeed, that the Sorge Chamber was really trying to get out of the country of Lavrellina.

(Well, it doesn't taste good just to touch Gillum, but Jaya does a lot of bad things. Don't you normally want to stay on board a ship that's confirmed to sink? In that sense, it may be commended that he acted quickly like a merchant.)

　Of course, as the business association cooperated with Jaya, moving its home base to Guillum does not mean that it is able to do business freely.
　There was no doubt that there would be annual surveillance.
　Of course, Gimekara doesn't complain about it, as it's a well-informed action. Is it right in this case that I can't say it?

"If you could do that, I'd rather not be saved him.
"As long as you are a merchant, it's only natural that you care." ...but when we've finished storing our leaves, we're going to have food next. Just in case, I thought of Ray and prepared a lot of food that I had just cooked instead of preserved food, but is it okay?"
"Oh, that's all right," That's fine when I'm there, but as I've said over and over again, it's impossible for us to act together forever. If you think about it that way, you'll need preserved food,
"I know," However, food and domestic food are prepared in small parts in towns and villages along the highway. So you don't have to worry too much about food getting bad."
"Well, that's a relief,"

　Put it in the mistling and it won't get worse.
　But moving with bread and cheese on top of a carriage could inevitably make it worse.
　You don't have to worry about it in winter, but unfortunately it's summer now.
　The summer season is already over, but it's still hot enough.

"You may be very indebted to me. As long as we are merchants, we believe this is profitable."

　Gimekara, who says so with a good smile on his face, is truly a merchant.
　In the face of such a gimekara, Ray is convinced that the journey to Gillum will be somewhat easier.
　Because I understood that being a merchant, I would sell it to the best of my ability when I could get a favor, and that I would make a better impression of Dusker when I arrived at Gilm.
　There is no doubt that if Ray and others are taken care of in many ways, they will naturally cease to have bad feelings.
　...though I didn't intend to lift my guard.
　With that in mind, Ray continued to have various meetings with Gimekara.
