a few days after returning to Gilmoo
　The work in question has been largely cleared up, especially in the forest of Trent.
　...however, as the woodcutters work almost every day in the woods of Trent, it is natural that the trees that have been cut down will accumulate again in time.
　At any rate, the site of the extension work is catching up, and there are fewer troubles in the city.
　The Lays, who had been living in guillem with such ease, had come to the lord's house at the invitation of Dusker today.

"What do you think happened? As far as Gillum is concerned, I don't think there's anything wrong with her. -- well, there are some little problems."

　Everyone who listened to Ray's words nods.
　In fact, the big problems have been quite settled, but there are still a number of small ones.
　It's only natural as long as it's undergoing extension work.

"Well, I don't think they're called out because of some problem, do they? Elena and Arra are called out."

　Marina's gaze turns to Elena, who is drinking tea.
　Of course, the tea was made by Arla, which is much better than the one made by the maid there.
　Arra's cup of tea is also in front of Rey and Rey opens her mouth over it.

"Then, is there any good thing, not a problem?"

　Nevertheless, Ray can't believe his words completely.
　My experience up until now did not suggest that something good would happen in such a case.
　On the contrary, I can remember any number of bad things... it shows how much trouble Ray is getting into on a daily basis.
　However, this time around, Ray's expectations will fall short of his expectations.
　Just then a knock on the door rang through the room.
　Ray says he's afraid to come in because of a bad feeling.
　It was not only Ray... but also the other people who opened the door to Ray's words and walked into the room.

"Amaros!"

　Yes, it was a set basket... officially the one who made the mirage basket.

"Long time no see, everyone."

　Seeing them, he greeted them smilingly, but... they didn't look so relieved.
　There is no particular trace of someone beating me.
　There's only a pretty dark spot under my eyes.
　Seeing the obvious lack of sleep, there's no way I can say hello with a smile.

"Well... are you all right?"

　Ray's words of concern come out of Amaros's mouth.
　Amaros smiles at Ray's words, tired -- and in some cases possessed.

"Yes. I've had a bit of a busy time. The renovation is progressing, and there are many other things like modifying the wood used for the extension work..."
"... oh, yes." I'm sorry."

　The sudden busyness of the alchemists was undoubtedly due to the Ray's influence.
　Knowing this, Ray also made a semi-reflexive apology, but in reality Ray doesn't have to apologize.
　The Rays have only done their job properly.
　Amaros doesn't look down on Ray either because he knows it.
　Perhaps it's because, as an alchemist, he's always so enthusiastic, he wants to improve his cages.

"No, don't worry. I knew that the basket of mirage was rough because it was built in a hurry. ...what's the matter?"
"What? Oh, no. It's nothing. What?"
"Yes, sir," It's nothing."

　As soon as they mention the name of the cage in the mirage, the leeches, who for a moment don't understand what Amaros is saying, say so in a hurry.
　They call it Seto Basket or Seto Basket, so the names of the baskets had already been forgotten by the Ray's group, but I couldn't tell Amaros who made the baskets, so I laughed and misled him.
　Amaros gets to the point soon, though he looks a little puzzled by Ray's attitude.

"And as for the renovation of the mirage baskets, I think it will probably be over in a few days. This time I put particular emphasis on the habitability of the basket."
"Well, Se... it would be helpful if you could make it as comfortable as possible for me to spend so much time in the cage of the mirage." I wish I could make the basket a little wider, if possible."

　Amaros shook his head apologetically at Marina's words.

"If I have time, I can do something about it, but this time I don't have time, so it's impossible."
"... well, I suppose so." We haven't decided exactly when to join them again. and if you don't do it well, Dusker might make a fool of you to-morrow?"
"That's... I can't say for a moment,"

　Given Dusker's position as a subordinate, no matter how much Amaros agrees with Marina, he won't be able to say it.
　Dusker doesn't care about the area, but it's nothing but suicidal to do it yourself.

"It's possible to widen the interior if you have time ... we talked about it before, but is it possible, for example, to train a magic tent inside?"

　That's what Elena says, trying to change the story about Dusker.
　Putting a magic tent in a basket was one of the ideas that came out of a previous discussion among the laymen.
　The magic tent, which has a large interior, can carry more people than can normally be used in a set basket, and can be carried comfortably on top of it.
　There could be no better means of transportation.
　That's the way to bring in sick people in cages among those carried by Soura.

"Is it a magic tent?" I understand what Elena is thinking, but since magic tents are rare magic items in the first place, it's hard to get them so easily..."

　It's true that magic tents, if not as rare as item boxes, are also very rare magic items as Amaros said.
　It's not impossible to get it right away... but it's also true that it's difficult with Amaros' authority.

"I think it's possible for Ray and others to get their own magic tent and incorporate it."
"Even if you say so,"

　Magic tents are definitely going to be very useful.
　However, it is also true that since magic tents themselves are rare, it is impossible to pay and buy them.
　If anything, connections are more useful than money.
　In fact, I didn't buy Ray's magic tent with my own money, but I got it from Dusker as a reward for my work.

(If I ask Mr. Dusker here for another magic tent... oh, no. What we've done in the extension work, what we've done against Jaya, what we've done with nearly a thousand people who've escaped from the mejogo... if I think about it, will it be possible to do with the magic tent?)

　The compensation is contracted to be paid at a later date.
　But in Ray's case, he would never be happy to be paid in gold or white, much less in light.
　That's because we have enough money to live by playing by the hundreds of years.
　Also, if you're short of money, you can hunt for thieves, and you won't have to worry about money.
　Thieves who want to make money by taking it easy come out of the house.

"Do you think that if you ask Mr. Dusker to pay you for a series of work in a magic tent?"
"What? Well, I don't know. I think it's possible, and it's true that Ray has contributed so much to Gilm, so I think it's okay. The question is whether the magic tent can afford it. The magic tent Ray is using is the one Dusker used before, isn't it?"
"Oh, that's what I've been told so. No, it was Marina who gave me the magic tent before that, and I wonder if she was told about it.""Well, that's right," -- anyway, for Dusker's part, who is a neutralist -- you know, in the event of war, for instance, a magic tent is absolutely necessary."
"...can't you do anything like an ordinary tent?"

　If you're just going to get people together, wouldn't that be enough if you didn't bother using magic tents?
　Marina shakes her head at Ray's words.

"It's all right if you're just a nobleman, but for Dusker, who is one of the three great factions, it's absolutely necessary to be ostentatious and reputable."
"Is that a magic tent?"
"Magic tents are rare, so just having them attracts your attention. In that sense, it's better to have it than not to have it. Especially if you're in a position like Dusker."

　If Dusker had not been a central figure in the neutrality group, but was just one of the aristocrats who made up the neutrality group, there would have been no problem without a magic tent.
　However, as long as he is the head of one of the three major factions, no matter how stupid he thinks he is, it is important to have a face there.

"Well... I'll just ask for it, but if that's not possible, I'll give up."
"Or, if not immediately, there is a way to get a new Dusker to buy you." In the first place, the magic tent used in the cage of the mirage doesn't have to be that great, does it? That's a few steps below Ray's magic tent."

　As long as the reason you want a magic tent is that you need to carry more people all at once... naturally you don't want comfort there.
　No, if you're comfortable, it's nothing to do with it, but if you're asked if you're going to choose between it and the capacity, you're going to choose the latter.

"Oh, of course, it's out of the question that there are too many people to pack in, and that they can't do anything to relax."
"Well, then we may be able to manage it." I'll tell Dusker first. But I don't think it's possible to say right now... It will be after next spring at the earliest."

　Even if you don't place too much emphasis on comfort, if you want to make magic items using spatial magic, please make it, I can't say yes.
　Even in Dusker's shoes, it's the same.
　If this were the King, he would be able to do such a foolish thing.

"Well, then..."

　Interrupted was Elena, who was listening to Ray and Marina's conversation.

"I mentioned it before, but how about putting my carriage in the cage of the mirage?"
"... Mr. Elena's carriage?"

　Elena nods to Amaros, who asks in wonder.

"I don't know if you know it or not, but my carriage has spatial magic, and it's as large as a magic tent inside. If that were the case, I should be able to put it in the cage of the mirage, and use it in the same way as the magic tent described above."
"That's... well, it's probably a little difficult." It's not that I can't do it, it's just a matter of time."
"Only a matter of time?"
"Yes. First of all, in order to put the carriage into the cage of the mirage, you have to take it apart. Of course, it doesn't completely disassemble, but it still requires a lot of work, starting with magical procedures. That alone will probably take a few days."

　It's Ray who wonders if it's going to take that long.
　In addition, if you listen to the explanation in detail, you will hear that it will take a lot of time and effort, starting with magical adjustments, but you can't do anything about it.
　Amaros is already apparently sleep deprived, so if he gets to work more here, he'll probably fall.
　In the end, the idea of having a magic tent or carriage built in was decided not to do it at least now.
　He was quite enthusiastic about it.
