"That's the end of the third set of treasures,"
"Ray, why don't you head to Gilmoo? The main gate is open until late at night, but if possible, you should go in a little earlier. If it's any later, it'll definitely be crowded.

　Marina calls out to Ray, who keeps the robbers' treasure in a mistling.
　Marina's eyes may be a little dumbfounded that she hunted too many robbers.
　Arriving at Subursta...no, exactly for a few hours after first discovering the bandit who was working near Subursta.
　Marina's enthusiasm may well be a surprise, having destroyed three bandits in just a few hours.
　...the destruction of the three bands of robbers means that, of course, they took that much of the lives of the robbers who belonged to them, but there is nothing particularly to blame about it.
　Elena, Marina, Vihela, Bune.
　All four of them have had reasonable experiences, and they are kind enough to think that even though they are thieves, they should not take their lives... No, they are not sweet enough.
　In some cases, bringing them to Subursta as slaves would have made more money, but this time it was not done because it was intended to instill fear in the bandits around here.
　Some people who kill the thieves and use them to get information let them go to spread information that the band of thieves had been destroyed.
　That's how to ensure safety when the Soulas pass around here, long way down the road.

"Well, yes," It's almost evening, and that's the limit, considering that."

　for a few hours after deciding to hunt for thieves
　If they had heard that the three bands of thieves had been annihilated, the band of thieves around here would not be able to act rashly.
　Of those hours, however, the actual fighting time was less than twenty minutes.
　Much of the time was spent confessing where to keep the treasure, in some cases guiding it, and storing it in the mistling.

(It would have taken more time if there had been anyone caught, but fortunately there was no one like that.)

　Ray was relieved by this, but it was nothing but luck, purely because it was too risky for thieves around here to sell their captors as slaves.
　If you sell them as slaves, if you don't do it well, they may get to you like a sweet potato vine.
　If you don't make much money by attacking merchants, you'll have to take such measures.
　But he probably decided that he didn't have to go out of his way to increase the risk of being caught, given that he could earn a lot of money by attacking merchants.
　Of course, even in such cases, there are cases where some people are caught.
　That's what young women need in other ways.
　Fortunately, none of the thieves Ray hunted this time were like that.
　If I had, I would have wondered what to do from now on.

"Shall we go to Gilmoo?"

　Rey nodded to Elena's words and went out of the woods to Gilm in a set basket.





"My dear Ray," It's been a long time no see."

　The man in charge of Rey at the front gate of Gilm was a stern-faced man... originally, Langa, who led the guard.

"I haven't seen it lately. What have you been doing?"

　He had something to do with Ray, but he had never seen his face lately.
　...in the first place, Ray had been to Lavrellina, which was one of the reasons why he had disappeared, but it is true that he rarely met before the extension.

"I was away from Gilmoo on business".
"Now that you mention it, the same thing has happened before,"

　Langa nods with a smile on his stern face, recalling that Langa had been sent in the form of a special envoy to Dusker for a problem with a certain nobleman.

"Now that you mention it, it happened,"

　To those who know nothing, Langa will look like a thief.
　In fact, even those who seem to be merchants a little further away from Ray are shivering at the sight of Langa talking to him.
　Another merchant who knows Ranga explains to him that he is actually such a scary person -- if nothing bad happens -- that he is not.

"Oops, let me take up my time here. I'm done with the procedures first, so you can go in."

　Langa hastily tells Ray that, perhaps aware of the eyes around her.
　When Ray greets Langa lightly, he receives the devil's necklace and enters the guillem with Elena and others.

"I don't know where Langa has been, but if he comes back, will there be any great disturbance?"
"I don't know," Maybe he was simply going somewhere on Dusker's orders. In fact, Langa is quite a capable guard. I don't mind if there's someone else who's going to ask for help."

　I can't believe Marina's words.
　The word is not false, it is not uncommon for a Langa to be sent to a neutral aristocrat if there is a problem related to a crime.
　Langa himself likes to go through the procedures for people coming and going to Gilm, but this is an example of a lack of consistency in character and ability.

"I see. Langa is in trouble, too." "And what am I going to do now? Do you think I ought to go and greet Mr. Dusker first?"
"You don't need that much, do you?" The other day, if I had to explain the Lavrellina, I had to see Dusker, but this time I have nothing particular to explain, right?"

　I wonder if Marina's words are like that. Ray.k.a. Ray.
　But if you ask me if I actually have anything to report on, I don't have anything in particular to you.
　When you go to the scene, it's clear how much work you've accumulated in the days when they're away.
　The next time I join them, I shall need to consult with Dusker some information about the supplies to bring and the number of guards to bring."

"Leave the details to me."

　At Marina's words, Ray decides to be spoiled.
　In fact, Ray is by no means a good negotiator.
　I'm good at negotiating with the bandits in a way that puts their strength forward and is close to intimidation, but I can't possibly imitate Dusker like that.
　In that sense, it was still best to leave the negotiations entirely to Marina.
　...but for Dusker, who is known to Marina in many ways as a black history, she may have some thoughts at the point that Marina is her negotiating partner.
　If the negotiations were to be detrimental to Guillum, Dusker would never back down, even if his embarrassing past were to be talked about.
　But that, on the contrary, would not be detrimental to Guillum... and on the contrary, it would almost certainly mean proceeding at the marina's pace if the negotiations were beneficial.
　Not surprisingly, Ray knew about the area and then asked Marina.

"Well, I'll get through to Dusker at once," What are you going to do about the basket?"
"You don't need any adjustments, do you?" I used it for the first time before, so I needed that, too. In fact, there was no particular problem."

　The set basket that you adjusted and refurbished last time can be used without any problems.
　Ray said, then, that there would be no need to take it this time.
　Marina also looks at Ray without talking any deeper, perhaps just in case.
　What does Ray do when he looks at me like that?

"Would you like to have dinner first?"

　Everyone -- especially Bune -- agrees with Ray's words.
　In fact, today I've been working hard to hunt for thieves, and that's why I'm moving more than I was guarding the Soulas.
　It's only natural that you should be hungry more than usual.

(Cooking? It's about time you replenish your cooking.)

　The cost of the food we provide to the suras is treated as a necessary expense.
　But just because it's a necessary expense, it doesn't mean you can get your food right away.
　If it's just a meal or two, Ray wants a big pot of stew or a thousand loaves of bread.
　There were nearly a thousand soullas, but one piece of bread is definitely not enough, let alone stew and other dishes.
　Even more so, I've been exercising so hard in combat training these days that it's only natural that I'm hungry.
　Ray has always wanted to buy a lot of food, but there is no doubt that this incident has reduced the number of dishes.
　Besides, it doesn't matter which restaurant's food is stored in Ray's mistling.
　The amount of Ray's food is definitely limited because it's from a restaurant where he thinks it's delicious.

"The Manjotei... seems to have quite a few people at this hour."Cheap, delicious, and many, the best place for adventurers is the Manjotei.
　However, such shops are naturally popular and attract many customers.
　It was easy to predict how crowded the store was, especially now that more people were coming from the extension work.
　In the meantime, it was certain that there would be a lot of trouble if the Ray's turned up for dinner.
　The woodcutter to Ray, the workman to Marina, the shady to Vihela, and so on.
　Moreover, considering that Elena is definitely at the top of the list, such an act would be tantamount to jumping into a disturbance.

"Then why don't you eat at home? It won't bother you too much, and you can take your time to set up there.

　Behind Marina's gaze was Seto playing with the children who had appeared before she knew it.
　Given the current situation, it was certain that even if you took Seto into the shops around the area, there would be a commotion.

"Well, I agree with that. and when Johanna comes round, it's going to be noisy again."

　Mileine is not in Gilm as a bodyguard for the special envoy of Levrellina, but Johanna is still there. The last time I returned to Gilm, I noticed Seto's presence and showed up out of nowhere.
　Going to Marina's house in the aristocracy now is definitely the best option for everyone.

"Seto, we're going now.
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words leave the children playing with their throats.
　Children have known Set for quite a long time, too.
　Seto plays with them, but he quietly leaves, perhaps knowing that Ray's words are paramount.
　There are children--and sometimes adults--who complain that they still want to play with Seto, but today there is no such person and Seto arrives quietly under the Reyes.

"Ray and his men can come into my house, so please go home first. I'll settle the negotiations with Dusker first."
"Is that all right?"
"Yes, that's the number of times the Reys have come to my house. The trespassers will be dealt with by spirit magic, but there will be nothing wrong with them."

　Ray nods back to Marina, who simply says so.
　I was a little interested in the act of crime prevention by spirit magic, but I don't say anything about it, but ask something else.

"All right, then I'll let you do that. So what do you want to eat for dinner tonight? If you want to eat anything, I'll prepare it for you."
"Well, it's pizza, after all." The pizza Ray made is delicious."
"...if that's all right with you, it's easy for me, too." Is it really all right?"

　Ray's pizza is a pizza baked in a magic pizza kiln.
　It's easy to heat the pizza kiln because it's a magic item, and pizza itself isn't such a laborious dish.
　Now that she's back in the guillem, Marina opens her mouth to Ray, who asks, "Wouldn't you like a better dish?" with a smile on her face that gives her a strong sense of a woman's charm.

"I want to eat Ray's homemade meal." ...you know what?"

　That being said, we decided to have dinner tonight.
