"Well, thank you very much!"

　Five men and women were bowing deeply toward the marina.
　The reason why he bowed to Marina instead of party leader Ray or Guildmaster Sinama was probably because he knew she had deep respect for Marina.
　What's more, these five men and women... adventurers employed as bodyguards have had the help of the Sinarama several times before.
　Being such a respected figure, it was only natural in a sense that the most important partner of the new adventurers would be Marina.

"I'm glad you treat me politely, but I'm not the leader of this party, am I?"

　Marina, who glamorizes the five men and women with a glamorous smile, glances at Ray, who is drinking fruit water in a bar next to the guild.
　The five were fascinated by Marina's smile, but they followed Marina's gaze... and when they looked at Ray there, they all cried out, 'What?'"
　Given the current circumstances, it would be that Ray, who was looking at Marina, was practically leading a thousand people, but it didn't look like that at all.
　But no matter what the new bodyguards think, as long as Marina is showing that attitude, she cannot express her dissatisfaction or doubts.
　The only thing that worries me is the guildmaster Sinarama's attitude.
　Marina, whom he respects and favors, is beneath him.
　Can you tolerate it given the temperament of the Sinarama? That's what I thought, but... I can't see any particular anger from the five of us.
　But he's looking at Ray far more seriously than angry.
　That's the kind of look that would seem to me if I looked at Ray closely.
　The five adventurers don't know why the Sinarama is looking at Ray like that. I don't know... but as long as the Sinarama behaved like that, it was clear that Ray wasn't the man he looked at.
　Ignoring the gaze of these five and the adventurers around him, the Sinarama calls out to Marina.

"Well, Marina..."
`I don't need any particular description,' I'm not a guildmaster now, I'm just an adventurer."

　It wasn't just the Sinarama... that was surprised by the words.
　Other adventurers around him cast incredulous glances at the marina.
　But Marina is still young, judging by her appearance... that's what she looks like in her early twenties.
　I can't believe that he was a former guildmaster, if not very much.
　...however, if you look at the sharp ears and brown skin, you can tell it's a dark elf.
　Still, Marina still doesn't look like a former guildmaster to her appearance.

"Is that so? But as expected of the abandonment... at least let me call you Marina-san."
"If that makes you feel like a Chinese lama, then that's all right." ...and?"

　As Marina asks what the matter is, the Synalama takes a second look at Ray and then opens her mouth.

"The person with Marina was called Ray."
"Well, Ray. I'm sure it's just as the Sinarama had imagined."
"Well!"

　The Sinarama's face twists with astonishment at the thought of his crimson.
　Adventurers in the guild didn't particularly care about Ray's name, but it was a matter of Ray's appearance.
　However, the guildmaster Sinarama knows not only rumors circulating about Ray, but also other information.
　That's why Ray is so small and feminine, contrary to his strength.

"That's true. Ray is crimson."

　with a rustle
　Listening to the Sinarama and Marina, the men turn their eyes on Ray in amazement.
　Now that you've come to understand Ray is an adventurer nicknamed crimson.
　And there are many people who, though they didn't know anything, look at Ray with compassion.
　By appearance alone, he had a fight against someone much stronger than himself, so in a sense he could be called a brave man.
　But the man is a brave man...or, in a sense, a sermon by the Synlama has been confirmed, and no one envies him.
　Ray doesn't seem particularly concerned.
　His attitude was because he was used to being noticed, including about Seto.

"Yes, sir," That little boy... No, that man."

　Marina muttered the Sinarama to herself.





"Well, you're the one who's been escorted from today. I am Rocks, the bodyguard of this group. I hope you will you?"

　Having said this, it was the Locks, a Rank C adventurer, who worked as a bodyguard for the Lonitas mission but was ordered by Dusker to work with the Lays.
　He is an adventurer belonging to Gilm who is now in his late twenties in charge of organizing bodyguards, as he said.
　The resistance led by Sula admits that the skill and character of Rocks is enough to bring them together.
　Originally, Sula led the resistance in some cases, but it was half-baked.
　For Sula, a skilled adventurer like Rocks... and she had nothing to complain about if a man like an adult who she could rely on would bring them together.
　If this had been the kind of person who would have caused trouble with women, it would not have been recognized by everyone, but Rocks, who, while speaking lightly, never casts a wistful glance, let alone a physical touch, deserves a lot of credibility.
　At first, there was an opinion that since the Lays were led by them, if only they could put together a bodyguard... but they don't always work with this party.
　That's exactly what I was going to do once I decided that there would be no problem if the guards were a little better and we weren't there.
　There is no way that such a group of lays could put together a bodyguard, and in that sense, Rocks must have been just the right person.

"Yes, thank you very much!"

　The five people's voices are neatly aligned, and they bow their heads in unruffled manner.

"Oh... Oh? We're quite in sync again." What, are you having a party with five of course.

　Adventurer's parties are generally about two to four people.
　But parties for five people are not so unusual, and some even seem to have parties with more than ten people.
　That's why I thought Rocks would be part of a party with the five of us in front of him...

"No, this is the same party as me, and those three are different parties." Of course, we don't know each other at all."

　One of the quintuaries replies to Rocks on behalf of him.
　Seeing such a man and the other four, I think Rocks is a good match for him.
　From Rocks' attitude, they probably understood what they thought. A man opens his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Well, the guildmaster has told me that I should never be rude to everyone who will take care of me."

　Especially since I saw in the guild what the man involved Ray had been through, I never thought of doing anything to offend him.

"Well, I don't mind. For the time being, as you can see, it's such a large group. It's a lot of difficulties to protect, but... once you do it, you'll get used to it."

　Rocks looked out of town as many people were preparing to leave.
　Most of the preparations are women, many of whom are well-featured, just gathered by Jaya to get prostitutes to work.
　The men in the quintet naturally look happy when they see them.

"I understand that a man would be like you, but don't think he'd mess with you at all costs. If that happens to you, what will happen to you... to be honest, I can't guarantee my life."
"Yes!"

　The men in the quintet... three respond instantly to Rocks' words.
　It was because the tone didn't seem to be joking at all.
　...and the two women looked at them coldly, but fortunately or unfortunately they didn't seem to notice it.

"All right, then... look over there."

　Then, looking in the direction of Rocks, the five notice a group of women there.
　Women who are leaving now, but for some reason have not yet decided to get into a carriage.

"What's that? It sounds like there's a lot of people there."Why are so many women gathered together? And why are the women gathering so happy to smile?
　Not knowing it, one of the men asks.
　Rocks smiled at such a man's question.
　It's not a smile that makes fun of strangers, it's a smile that makes us think we've had such doubts before.
　That's why none of the five of them had any feelings for Rocks.

"There's Set over there. Set... Do you know Ray's partner?"
'Gryphon!'

　The five of us all screamed again at Rocks' words.
　In fact, the existence of a high-ranked monster, such as a glyphon, would normally be possible once in a lifetime... or even impossible.
　It would be a natural surprise to be told that they were at the center of the women.
　Then, at the same time as I am surprised, I feel scared.
　It's not as much as a dragon, but it's a monster that's said to be the end of life if you encounter a Gryphon.

"Calm down, look at them a little more closely." You don't look hopeless, terrified, or sad, do you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　Some people are sad that they won't be able to love Seto for a few hours because they're moving.
　However, that sadness is not something we can do about it, as if it were dying.
　The five of them must have noticed it after seeing how the women were doing.
　Rocks, who asked me why, spoke as if he understood your feelings well enough.

"There is no need to worry about Gryphon, Seto. Basically, you won't be harmed unless we make a strange intervention. Don't think strangely about how much Seto is a high-ranked monster. Seto is Ray's slave. Besides, Seto is also a spiritual prop in this party."
"A mental prop..."

　Rocks muttered incredibly.
　In fact, for the five of us who don't know much about this group, we don't understand why this is happening.

"Don't worry too much about it." If you work with this group, you'll soon get used to it. At least it hasn't been long since I joined this group, but I've gotten used to it."

　I tell you that in the case of Rocks, he's an adventurer with Gilm.
　Naturally, you can see how Seto is treated in guillem, and you can see the sight of a Millerine, who is considered a leading Set lover, loving Seto.
　For such a Rocks, it's no wonder that Sett is loved.

(How long will it take to accept Set…)...well, they're still young, and I don't think they'll say such a dangerous thing as kill me, whether I'm a slave or not, because they're monsters. and I don't think he'll make such a fool of himself as the Azot Chamber of Commerce.)

　Ray is now a notorious high-ranking adventurer, let alone Ray, who was still a low-ranking adventurer.
　Furthermore, among them is Marina, a former guildmaster, who is a daughter of the Duke of Quelebel and nicknamed the Princess General.
　To poke your nose at someone like that would be the only person who wants to commit suicide.

"Anyhow, let alone love Sett, don't make any strange interference." Then you should be able to get to Gilm safely. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Yes. I've heard that there's no problem with my work because I'm currently working on an extension in Guilm... and I wanted to go to Guilm once, so there's no problem."

　Thus they added a new bodyguard... ...and the Reys made their way towards Guillum.
