"Seto-chan!"

　Those around him were bracing themselves for sudden sounds and shocks, but the first to act was, after all, the Mire Dog.
　Putting the casket down on the ground... the drop made it visible to the ground, and it was the first time I discovered Seto in the sky.
　The Mire Dog had just heard a cry, and had guessed that it was Seto who was approaching.
　That's probably why we were so quick to move on.
　Sulnin and Eclil, two of the Miredogs, did not seem particularly surprised to see him.
　It was because he understood that Miredogs had a keen sense of smell against Seto, unlike others.
　The other guards... one of the envoys from the carriage looked at him dumbfounded.
　They were making a fuss about Seto, but they probably didn't think it was really Seto.
　No, that information... the man on the mission who heard about the Rey's presence is quick to come back to life.

"It's not the enemy! It's the demon of the crimson Ray that you know! Repeat, it's not the enemy! I won't allow you to attack him!"

　The man's words finally dissuade adventurers other than the scorching wind.
　Even so, in case... I'm ready to deal with something as soon as possible, just in case something happens.
　This is because, although it is an instruction from one of the guards, it is not possible to feel safe in the real sense until you see with your own eyes whether the actual flying Gryphon is Seto.
　Of course, I don't think there's a high-ranking monster called Gryphon around there.
　The man on the mission is relieved to see the adventurers.

(Good. Now I don't have to get in trouble with Serena or Chrome.)

　Knowing that his wife and son, who remain in Gilm, adore Sett together, he will attack Sett on his own orders...what if his wife and son find out about it?
　It's obvious without thinking.
　She was usually a kind wife, but she knew very well that she was afraid of anger from the time she became a lover, married, and married.
　A man who is genuinely relieved that it didn't happen.
　At the sight of such a man, two women emerge from a set basket.
　Both of them were so beautiful that the expression "the greatest" was appropriate...and naturally the men of the delegation knew who it was.
　One is Marina, former guildmaster of Guillum.
　And the other is Elena, nicknamed General Hime.
　Both of them are certain important figures in the eyes of Gilm.
　Where should I speak to... there was a scene a little further away from the man who was hesitating about it that could be called a touching reunion in somehow.

"Seto-chan, Seto-chan, Seto-chan! How have you been? Aren't you hungry or tired?"

　When Seto comes down to the ground, a Mire Dog pats his body and asks.

"Don't speak ill of me. I suppose, then, that I gave her nothing to eat at all right."
"Why, Ray is always with me." I think I could be with Seto once in a while."

　While embracing Seto's neck, Mireine reveals her dissatisfaction with Ray.
　But it's not surprising that Ray felt unreasonable when he was confronted with this complaint.

"You may say so," Seto is my subservient in the first place, and it's only natural that he should act with me, isn't it?"
"d*mn it... I'm so cowardly to speak right here."
"Why are you so cowardly to speak right?"
"Glu".

　Miller Dog tries to say something more to Ray, but as soon as Seto starts to cry, he is absorbed in the act of loving Seto, not Ray.
　Watching such a Mire Dog, Ray suddenly remembers the group of women he was leading.
　Even though the means of transportation are now available, many women, including women and men in the resistance, have overcome difficult times, encouraged by Seto's loveliness.
　In fact, when Ray and others said that they would leave to join this mission, many of them expressed their loneliness about Seto's disappearance rather than Ray's disappearance, so it is easy to understand how much Seto is loved.
　But... what if the Miredog joins it?
　Ray is half predictable of the outcome.
　In fact, Johanna is on the same level as Miredogs in terms of love of Seto, because she and Miredogs are close friends.
　In other words, what happens if you join a group over there with a Miredog... if you don't do that well, it could even be a bloody battle.
　That's when Ray's thoughts hit him, and he suddenly chills down his spine.

(The least salvation is that the Miredog is the escort of the mission, and we are heading for Gilm. Working together shouldn't take that long. I have to... I hope.)

　A man talking to Marina and Elena approaches Ray, hoping that there will be no fight for Seto.
　No, should I describe them as men?
　The other delegations who had been in the carriage for the sake of danger had come out of the carriage, judging that they were already safe.

"Ray, can you give me a second?"

　The man who had just stepped out of the carriage was the first one to say so.
　He's about forty years old and has a rather stern look on his face.

"Well..."
"Oh, I'm late to greet you," I'm Ronitas. I am in charge of this mission."
"Well, you. I'm Ray. You know, I was first in the country of Lavulina at the request of Mr. Dusker."
"I have heard about it from Mr. Dusker in advance. --but according to what I have heard from Elena and Marina, it has become a great deal of trouble?"

　Lonitas says so with a smile to Ray, apparently unconcerned about the language and age differences.
　But it's only natural. Ronitas is only under Dusker's wing, whereas Ray is a notorious, high-ranking adventurer... who has a high-ranking monster, Gryphon, and parties with talented people such as Elena, Marina, and Vihela.
　...the reason why he didn't have a name for Bune in his mind now is probably because Bune is not so prominent, and because he's just inferior in skill to other faces.
　Anyway, Ray and Ronitas, if Dusker had to choose between them, there was definitely a perception in Ronitas that Dusker would choose Ray.
　For better or worse, Gilm is a city of skilled adventurers, and Ronitas is largely accustomed to the sensibilities.

"Well, it's kind of... no, it's quite a big deal with me.

　It's not easy, if not very easy, to take nearly a thousand people to Gilm with them, especially those who aren't used to travelling.

"Well, I'm going to talk to Mr. Dusker about it, so come Ray, too." If something happens, you'd better be there. And..."

　Once Ronitas pauses, he turns to the Millerine, who loves Seto.
　Ray followed that gaze, and it soon made sense to me what I wanted to say.

(As long as Seto is present, is a Mire Dog useless? No, should I say that there is no need to be vigilant about the people around me because of the presence of Seto?)

　At any rate, given the current situation, the lays move the carriage a little off the road.
　So that if anything happens, we can handle it immediately. ...and keep out of the limelight of those who pass along the road.
　Sett baskets can be stored in mistling, but carts can't.
　No, you can do it if you want, but from the standpoint of the mission, you can't do it like that.

"Here? Or is this itchy?"

　A Mire Dog, stroking -- scratching -- walks towards the carriage.
　Many of the guards except Sulnin and Eclil look surprised at the sight of such a Miredog.
　For those who don't know much about Miredogs, they show off as ordinary, skilled female adventurers... that's why Miredogs, who are said to be some of the best adventurers among young people, look very different today.Only the well-featured Miller Dogs, if possible, would have liked to get acquainted with them by the request of their bodyguards.Many people lost their minds when they saw Miredogs who adore Seto today.
　Watching the men's interactions, Ray was impressed by the horse pulling a carriage.
　I had heard from Dusker that some had left earlier than the Ray's, and that the carriage could do a good deal of speed, but the horse pulling the carriage did not seem to be particularly violent or frightened, even though Sett was nearby.
　Among the horses pulling Gimekara's carriage, many are still afraid of Seto.
　By comparison, it was undoubtedly as hard-trained as the horse pulling Elena's carriage.

(Well, even if a carriage had high performance and special ability, it wouldn't make sense if it were a packhorse with low ability to pull it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Watching Seto, Ray was looking at the horse, who seemed to be completely frightened, but he was called by the mission's Ronitas and headed there.
　Nearly ten people, including Ronitas, gathered near the carriage.
　There is no doubt that all of them have come as delegations, given that they are here.

"Ray, for the most part, I told you,"
"... That's early,"

　Ray was wondering if he would be able to explain it himself, but he didn't expect me to explain it beforehand.
　However, if Marina or Ray were to be told who could explain the situation more simply, they would think that even Ray could speak more accurately.

"It's better to be quick, isn't it? So I'm going to get in touch with Dusker now. Elena,"
"Yes,"

　Marina's gaze causes Elena to nod, pull out a pair of oves, and start.
　Then, in a few seconds, an arra was projected on the pair of oves.

"Dear Elena!"
"I'm glad you're doing well, Arra said.

　A word or two with Arra, who happily cries out Elena's name, immediately disappears from the pair's oven.
　They probably went to get Dusker because they had already talked through by yesterday.
　Usually, daytime is a busy time for Dusker, but one incident involving Ray and his colleagues is a big benefit for Gillum.
　In a few minutes, Dusker appears on a pair of ovens.
　Naturally, Ronitas were surprised to see Dusker.
　I've heard of the pair of oves, but it was my first time seeing them in person, and it must have been surprising that they showed Dusker.
　If this was Ray, I wouldn't have been so surprised by his experience in Japan, but it's very rare for this Elgin magic item to have this kind of performance.

'Ronitas? I think we got together safely.'
"Yes, and I heard from Mr. Marina, is that true.

　Ronitas also refers to Marina, who was guildmaster at Guild of Guillum for many years, by way of appearance.
　...though the reason may have a lot to do with Marina's ability to be bullish on Dusker.

'Oh, that's true. As you know, there are many things about Jaya. Have you heard of the circumstances?"
"For the most part, I don't think retaliation will lead to such an action..."

　Ronitas spoke ill of it, but the other delegations around him had to agree with him... no, even the guards listening to him.
　Who would think that retaliating against a criminal organization would take a thousand people on a journey from Mejogo to Gilm.
　But I thought that's probably why it's a Rank B party... everyone on the spot exchanged information.
