On the evening after playing in the river -- fishing to be exact -- Ray finally found the group he wanted.
　I found a large array of horse-drawn carts lined up near the entrance of one of the streets.
　With nearly a thousand people in the carriage, it is naturally difficult to get all of it into a village or town.
　No, depending on the size of the city, it may be possible, but the city that is now in front of Ray's eyes is not that big, and it could not be imitated like that way.
　As a matter of course, if you just leave a carriage outside the city, some people might think strangely of it.
　For this reason many guards mounted the carriage and the surroundings of the horse, taking care of the horse.

(Not to mention monsters, it would be troublesome if thieves came after horses)

　There's no doubt that monsters around here are basically low-ranked monsters.
　There was no doubt that a bandit who was clumsy but capable of maneuvering was more troubling than such a weak or dim monster.

"I've found the sailors. Let's get off!"

　Looking dazzled by the summery sunset, Ray calls out in a set basket and asks Seto to head to the ground.
　Lightly slapped on the back of his neck, Sett immediately follows Ray's words and descends toward the earth, flapping his wings.
　Those who first kept watch around horse and carriage were late to notice the presence of Seto descending under the sunset.
　Unfortunately, the first thing Ray and Sett noticed was a bodyguard hired after Ray and Sett had left the party.
　The sound of a set basket down on the ground made me notice something unusual, and when I looked up at the sky I saw a Gryphon.
　Naturally, the bodyguard had heard of Ray and Sett, but it was very different from hearing information from others and seeing it directly.
　That's why there was no scream or scream in the man's mouth.

"Oh, wow, wow, wow!"

　Then, naturally, if such a voice echoes around them, those close to them will be nervous about what happened.
　I felt the shock of dropping the basket was natural, but I heard more voices and lost my consciousness.

"Beware... eh?"

　Watch out! He was the man of the escort adventurer who tried to shout, but unlike the one who cried out earlier, he had been employed as a bodyguard by the Gimekara arrangements since the Ray and others were there.
　That's why we decided that it was Seto who came down from above.
　I was dazzled by the setting sun, but I never missed Seto's silhouette.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　At any rate, the man's adventurer, who recognizes the descending presence as Seto, screams quickly.

"Stop attacking! Don't attack me! I'm on my side!"

　At the words, those who hear the earlier cry breathe out relief and lower their weapons.

"What, Seto?" Who -- who gave such a shout?"
"Oh, look. The guy who joined the guards after the Rey's gone."
"Oh, I see," "Then it is no use being surprised to see Set."

　Many guards are reassured by the exchange of words.
　Meanwhile, Elena and others emerge from the set basket.
　Naturally, the guards fall in love with these Elena figures.
　Elena are the ones who act with nearly a thousand well-featured women who have been taken away to make prostitutes.
　Ray, coming off Seto's back, calls out to men who have not seen him for the first time in a long time, or who see him for the first time today.

"I think you were right here. I'm glad to hear that we've gone a long way before we've been there."
"Rae, Ray!"

　Among the Elena, especially the man who loved Marina, dressed in a blue party dress with an open chest, finally comes to life with Ray's words.
　This former Resistance man knew Ray's face as a matter of course.
　Ray nods and opens his mouth, asking if he remembered the man's face.

"You were under Sula, weren't you?" I beg your pardon, but will you bring in the likes of Sula and Gimekara and Rocks?"
"Yes, yes, at once!"

　The bodyguard walks into the city, saying so.
　Since you've quickly completed the procedures to get into the city, you'll have no doubt that the people of the city have taken advantage of it accordingly.
　In the first place, it's very rare for a group of nearly a thousand people to come to such a small town as this time around.
　That alone was certainly causing uproar.
　The Soulas are not really thieves, however, and as long as they stop by the city, they lose a decent amount of money."--the money would be paid by the Sorge Chamber--so it was not an abhorrent and welcome partner for the city.
　Seeing a man off into the city, Ray approaches another familiar person.
　a woman employed as a bodyguard adventurer, though she does not remember her name
　Originally, this group consists mostly of women ... who have been brainwashed into prostitution, so the bodyguards employed are mainly those who don't cause trouble with such partners.
　In that sense it was only natural that more female adventurers would be hired than men.

"Have you had any major problems while we were away?"
"What? That's right. Some of them broke up in villages and towns where they stopped, except for the rest -- oh, but once I saw them look like thieves."

　Ray's mouth slightly arched when he heard that he was a thief because Ray, who is often called a thief, found new prey.
　But such a ferocious smile comes to an end when the woman steps back unconsciously.

"But, um... this is the number of people, so they ended up leaving without doing anything here."
"...I see,"

　It's by no means a woman's imagination that Ray's muttering is a little disappointing.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're safe. Is there any other problem?"
"Well..."

　At Ray's words, the woman glances gently at Seto.
　You must have somehow understood what had happened after seeing it. Ray smiles a little and tells her not to worry.
　The absence of Seto in front of them certainly didn't do any good to those who had set him as a spiritual prop.
　With that being the case, Ray knew that something had happened in your relationship.

(You were right not to bring Johanna)

　Ray has heard before that Mireine and this group of women have been in an explosive situation.
　It's easy to imagine what kind of uproar would be if you brought Johanna, a Setophile, here, who seemed to be a twin to Mileine.
　Johanna also ran for it, as to where she heard it from, when Ray and others were to return and take some female adventurers as bodyguards.
　But... it is impossible to employ Johanna as a bodyguard, let alone a man who is in the position of being the bodyguard of the former squadron.
　There was a rumor that Johanna would be hired for such a person, but... the expression on Johanna's face at the time was the most appropriate for the word despair.
　He may have wanted to go with the Reys, but that's probably the end of the story.
　There was nothing but a Mireinu, or something like that.
　Mileine, however, met Seto for the time being, but could not have acted with him as long as he was employed as Ronitas' bodyguard, and was half-passed.
　Johanna will have more opportunities to meet Sett itself, as the Lays travel back and forth between this group and Gillum.
　Still, Johanna must have been very envious of the fact that Mileine had met Sett before her.

"Mr. Ray!"

　If you look at the voices you hear, there are three people there: Sula, Gimekara, and Rocks.
　The one who called out to meekara.
　Ray must have been very happy to be back. There was a big smile on his face.

"Oh, my God. It seems that you were safe, too. I'm a little surprised that we've gone so far in this short time."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Of course, there were many problems, but we could do something about it."It's a word that makes me really happy that Ray is here.
　He is, however, a sharp man sent by the Solgeh Chamber.
　Naturally, the words and expressions do not necessarily express their true feelings.
　However, given the current situation, there was probably not much difference between what he said and what he meant.

"It's very helpful of me to say so." However, I don't think I can stay here for such a long time this time either. Maybe a few days."
"I see. Still, it would be a great help for us if Ray and his friends were there."

　For Gimekara, she was as good as the Reys... and yet she wanted someone who wouldn't cause trouble.k.a. problem.
　... in Ray's case, there was no problem with the women, but there was a good chance of causing trouble elsewhere.

"And, Rocks," I have brought some female adventurers as bodyguards from Gillum, so please use them."
"That will help. There are very few guards for this number."
"There are more guards than before, aren't there? Some of them I've never seen before."

　Ray recalls the man who was surprised to see Seto, but Rocks shakes his head at him.

"No, that's no good," In the first place, it would be more absurd to guard a group of nearly 1,000 people with this number of people. The bodyguards you can hire are more personality‐oriented than skill‐oriented. and of course I know why."

　Rocks also knows she's being looked out for alarm by women.
　Still, it's probably from Rocks' actions that he's been keeping a watchful eye on it, not a disgusting eye.
　He was chosen to guard the mission, and his character as well as his lox and arms were taken into consideration.

"When I get back to Gilmoo, I'll bring some guards, so please wait until then."
"Oh, just... as soon as you can." and when I get near Gillum, I should like you to escort me to the end, if possible."
"Ah... I know,"

　Rox's words convince Ray.
　Near Gillum...more precisely, around Abuero and Subursta, near Gillum, there are a lot of bandits.
　Various bandits gather to target merchants who go or return to the golden tree called Gilm.
　It's as if it won't decrease at all even if you knock it down.
　Many of the bandits are vulnerable, but such bandits are eliminated by battles between adventurers and merchants, monsters, and thieves.
　The end result is that the remaining bandits are those with a certain skill.
　When passing through such a place, this party is clearly nothing but a good game.
　To prevent it, we need deterrents that robbers won't attack us.

"All right, sir, but I think it's better to bring those thieves together and kill them once." If I find something like that on my way back to Gilmoo next time, I'll destroy it."
"... oh, oh,"

　Rocks is surprised to hear that he will destroy the bandits that come out of Ray's mouth so easily.
　Of course, Rocks knows how strong Ray is. If you live in Gilm, you will naturally get information about it.
　Still, it was only natural to be surprised to see him speak it up close.

"Well, you know... yes. Don't be too soft. --or should I ask you to keep going?"

　For some reason, he noticed himself expressing concern about the bandits, and hastily added.
