"Well done, Ray. It's been a long time since I've been to the forest of Trent. How's it going?"

　In the guild of Guillum, the receptionist of the Cat Beast... Kenny calls out to Ray as he approaches the counter.
　Lenora was originally in charge of Ray, but at this time of the day Lenora was on lunch break.
　That's why Kenny approached Ray joyfully.
　...it's natural that Lenora should be angry at me to concentrate on my work, but I guess he thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without Lenora.
　Kenny, however, is a well-worked woman, contrary to her flamboyant appearance and playfulness.
　Otherwise, it's hard to get on as a receptionist in the guild of Guillum.
　Lenora still gets in trouble because she often puts her personal affairs first, even though she can do her job.

"We carried all the trees over there to guillem, so I don't think we'll have to worry about the lack of materials."
"Yes, that's a relief for now. --it seems that Ray can carry the tree the fastest."
"I have this in my case," It's quicker here than in a carriage."

　Tell Kenny so, and show Kenny his right-hand mistling.
　Kenny nods without particular surprise because he understands what it is.

"Well, I really envy you. ...and yet, I haven't seen Ray lately, have you been somewhere?"
"Huh? Oh. I was just out of the guillem at the request of Mr. Dusker. I can't tell you the details."
"...hmmm,'

　Kenny wanted to know everything about Ray, but he could not go further if he was named Dusker, the lord of this guillem.
　No, if this is any danger to Ray, I can conclude that as long as I talk to him like this, there was no such danger.
　Then he decided that he should not try to embarrass Ray by sticking it pointlessly here.
　Ray understands Kenny's concern and changes the subject.

"And how are the others doing? Well, I don't think there's any problem."

　Kenny's momentary discontent with the question was probably because he didn't want to speak about another woman in front of him.
　For Ray, he knows the women are important companions, and one of them is a former guildmaster who somehow respects them.
　Still, as a woman who still thinks of Ray, it was inevitable.
　Still, Kenny's attitude was only momentary because he was aware that he was a receptionist.

"Yes, other people are doing a lot of work, too. In particular, Marina has been very active."
"... I suppose,"

　Marina's spiritual magic boasts overwhelming power and scale compared to the spiritual magic used by others.
　Gilm also has elves and a few but human beings who use spirit magic.
　However, it is safe to say that the spirit magic used by such people and the spirit magic used by Marina are almost different things, even if they are the same spirit magic.
　Marina is so adept at handling spiritual magic.
　Of course, Marina is not free to use all spiritual magic.
　Due to the compatibility of the Dark Elf tribe, it is inevitably incompatible with the spirit of fire.
　This was natural, given that he was a dark elf living in the woods.
　Furthermore, Marina is the bloodline of the world tree shrine maiden.
　It was only natural that they were incompatible with the spirit of fire.
　However, it is not clear whether there will be an opportunity to use the magic of the spirit of fire in Gilm under construction.

"Mr. Vichela and Mr. Bune are going around the city the same way they used to. I'm telling you I've already.
"... did you catch him?"
"Yes. Everything is like drinking and going wild in the daytime, fighting at a construction site because of disagreements, or pushing at a woman...."
"I see. Don't they have to worry about it?" I'm a little worried that Vichela might make the trouble bigger."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

　They had a similar job in the guillem before they went to the country of Lavrellina.
　I've had a few upsets like Kenny's.
　But it was probably because Vihela behaved accordingly that it did not cause a big problem.

"Well, what are you going to do now, Ray? Are you going back to the forest of Trent?"
"Oh... I don't know. I brought all the remaining trees over there, so I don't have to go right now. though it is only about the trees."
"... only trees? Anything else?"
"Oh, actually, Sett brought down the oak in the forest of Trent."

　Kenny frowns slightly at the name of oak.
　For Kenny, too, the existence of oak is probably not something a woman can't be tolerated.
　That may be why I have no hesitation in eating oak meat.

"Yes, I heard that monsters live in the forest of Trent, but the oak..."

　Severely concerned is the possibility of creating an oak settlement in the woods of Trent.
　Once a settlement is built, it requires more than a certain amount of military power to defeat it.
　As a receptionist... to be exact, as a guild staff member, I don't want to do such a troublesome thing if possible at this time of labor shortage.

"Can't you send some skilled adventurers to the forest of Trent to kill monsters? Well, when I was in the forest of Trent, Seto beat monsters to some extent, but I'll have to go out again in a little while."
"What? Again?"

　Kenny looks at Ray in surprise at the word of going out.
　I understood in the conversation that I had left Gillum on some business, but I thought the business was over.
　But if you say you're going out again... it's impossible not to be surprised.
　Ray also understands why Kenny is surprised, so he tries to calm down.

"It's not that long this time. I don't think I'll be able to... but I think I'll be back in about five days."

　Nevertheless, if I can't find the other side, it might be a little longer... Ray.
　In the daytime, you wouldn't miss a group of nearly 1,000 people moving around.
　But if you're in a village or town, it's a little harder to find.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well... so are you free tonight? I'll tell you about the guillem when Ray wasn't there, so why don't we have dinner together? Look, there's a lot of people coming. Thanks to that, more and more restaurants are serving local dishes."

　Ray is naturally interested in hearing that it's a local dish regions.
　The food Ray had never tasted was very attractive.
　If nothing had happened, Ray would have accepted Kenny's invitation. But...

"I'm sorry, I'm going to eat at Marina's house to-"Well..."
"Look, it's been a long time since you came back to Gilmoo, right? So I need to talk about today's incident and many other things. about the party, and so on.

　If you say so, Kenny can't argue as a receptionist.
　In fact, it is true that the Rays have not been in Gillum for quite a long time.
　If we are told that we need a place to report on what happened in the meantime, we can understand. I could, but... so there was no way Kenny would give up eating with Ray.

"Oh, then, when Lenora comes back, I'll be on lunch break, so why don't we go somewhere together? Of course, I don't think it's possible to go to a full-scale restaurant at this time... How about that?"
"Oh, I don't mind," but I'll have to go to the forest of Trent later, so I won't have much time."
"Well... I can't help it." But I'm not going to talk about luxury because I can dine with Ray. ...and what kind of food do you want to eat? My recommendation is bean dishes with sour cheese."
"Is that really okay with sour cheese?"

　Maybe it's cheese that's getting worse.
　That's what worries Ray, but Kenny opens his mouth with a smile.

`Of course it's not bad,' That's how it's made in a special way. It's actually pretty good when you try it."

　As far as Kenny goes, he doesn't seem particularly intent on deceiving Ray.

(Well, when I was in Japan, there were a lot of people who didn't like natto, and cheese with a very bad smell was on TV as a luxury product. Isn't it that strange to think so.)

　Ray didn't hate the taste of natto itself, but he couldn't help but feel sticky around his mouth when he ate it.
　To prevent this from happening, you can eat Natto maki, but you don't like Natto very much.

(Oh, natto... I remember seeing if you boil soybeans and put them in straw.) Is this the kind of food you teach the Solgeh Chamber?)

　Ray came up with an idea of his own, but he praised himself, saying, "Isn't that a good idea?"
　Natto-making flourished in places a little further away from Ray's home, and certainly in the same neighborhood throughout the country.
　Thanks to that, Ray also learned how to make natto, but... if you only listen to Ray's story and try to make natto, it will be very difficult to make natto as long as there is no bacillus subtilis.
　What's more, natto looks like a stringed.
　To those who know nothing, nothing but rotten beans.
　Eating it and tasting it is tantamount to food poisoning.
　If Ray teaches the Zolge Company how to make natto through Gimekara, it would be a little bit awkward if the Zolge Company were to ask if they would make it.

"Ray? What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. After hearing a little bit about cheese, I wondered if I could cook a new dish, but I couldn'
"Well... udon and other foods that Ray thought were delicious." That's too bad."
"No, I didn't think of udon..."
"Is that Mr. Ray.

　I just taught you what was in the book that my teacher had.
　When Ray was about to say so, someone approached him.
　When I looked over there, I saw Lenora, Ray's receptionist.
　When he came back from a lunch break, he must have been surprised to find Ray there.

"Oh, Lenora is back. Then I'll take a break next time, right?"
"What? Yes, yes, but... Hey, Kenny. Make sure you take over."
"It's all right, there's nothing in particular." Ray's case has been settled. Well, then, Ray. I'm going to go change, so please wait a minute."

　With a smile and a happy wink, Kenny walks away to change from his guild uniform to plain clothes.
　Normally you could go out to eat in a guild uniform, but Kenny, who is thinking of Ray, would rather go out to eat in plain clothes than in a guild uniform.
　Adventurers in the guilds who have feelings for Kenny or yearned for him were looking at Ray with jealousy... a common sight in the guilds of Guillum.
　Some adventurers came to Gillum while Ray was in the country of Lavrellina, some of whom were of coarse character and thought they would do something about him, but fortunately, the adventurers around him had stopped before they could actually act.
　At first, he complained about why he was going to stop, but when he found out that he was an adventurer with the nickname crimson, he was grateful that he had stopped, and yet no one wanted to get involved with him.

"Mr. Ray, didn't Kenny say anything rude?"
"No, not particularly," I was just talking for a momentarily."
"Well, that's all right,"

　So Ray and Lenora were talking when Kenny, who had finished changing, came and went out for dinner together.
