The punishment of the robbers around Subursta was not necessarily a matter of course, but rather a matter of five days in which the Rays hunted the robbers.
　However, the Lays finished in five days, which they stopped there to bring supplies to the Soulas, and the other adventurers are still hunting for thieves.
　Of course, if they hunted for thieves on such a large scale, many of them, unlike the thieves who fled quickly from the information that Ray had obtained from the survivors of the first band of thieves, were optimistic that they would still be safe.
　Even under such circumstances, the robbers were coming one after another, so it was a good idea to call it a pig's nest.

(Is it possible that the new bandits were made scapegoats by the bandits who tried to escape from the area around Subursta...?)

　Thinking this way, Ray pulls supplies out of the mistling and piles them on the ground.
　The women on the spot were willing to take the goods to their carriage because of their dried fruits, but Surah's sharp voice echoed around them.

"There's no one who thinks you're the only one who's good, right? You need to talk to them well later."

　Sula's words instantly stop the women's movements as they flock to dried fruit.

"It's very well partitioned,"
"Well, I was leading the resistance, and that's about it."
"...and? I heard from Gimekara that the number of people has decreased a little, but it's not like she's dead, is it?"
"Well, more than ten people have lost their jobs because they found some sort of job in the middle of the road, they found a woman, they left their hometown close together."
"Hmmm...hmm?"

　I wasn't listening out of genuine interest, but Ray still had something to worry about.
　More than 90% of this group consists of women.
　It's only natural that they are a group of people who have been brainwashed into prostitution in Jaya.
　But one of the reasons I've just come out of Sula's mouth and left this group...

"Isn't it because you have a man?"
"Hmm... I'm afraid it's not a mistake." for I have a woman."

　A little sooty... ...with an expression of mental exhaustion, Ray somehow hands over raw fruit -- not supplies, but personal.
　Sula who takes it, is not feminine... and is very masculine, skinless.

"Did you have that kind of talent in the first place, or did you go that way because you hated men?" I'm not sure about that, but there were some people who decided to make a girlfriend and live with her."
"Ah... yes. Well, isn't that the case?"

　In Sula's words, the only way Ray could do it was in return.
　Of course Ray knows that there are homos*xuals in the world.
　When Ray was in Japan, there was no such thing around him, and that was the kind of thing that appeared in cartoons, novels, and games.

"Well, I don't have any complaints about it because it's not something that's been done forcefully."

　Sula, who still looks tired, eats the fruit she gets from Ray to cheer her up.
　The dried fruit was the women who had been fighting for it, but they didn't even look at the fresh fruit that Sula had.
　It's probably because I understand that if you do that in the current situation, it will be terrible in many ways.
　Originally, I would definitely like to have fresh fruit in this summer day.
　Autumn is approaching, but it's still quite hot during the day.
　That's enough to make me want to swim if there's a lake or a river.
　...in fact, the Reyes joined this group of Souras because they found themselves resting in the river.

"If those who have left can live happily, then that's all right. "By the way, what's the matter with you, for some reason?"

　Although Ray has openly changed the subject, Sula nods back without showing any concern for what Ray said.

"They're all serious about their training. perhaps because they remember that they were brought in forcefully."

　I wouldn't have had this kind of experience if I had the strength.
　There must be a lot of people who think so.
　And because they didn't want to regret their lack of strength again, they were focusing on their daily training.
　Above all, it was a great advantage for the party that they could not slow down even if they were trained close to their physical strength, given that everyone was travelling in a carriage.

"Well, good. Worst of all, even if you don't have a job in Gilm, you can take on the job as an adventurer. -- well, I'm not sure if that will make sense."

　The remote guillem naturally has powerful monsters around it.
　That's why Rank C monsters come close to Gillum... which is not uncommon, but not all.
　Adventurers who have been able to come to Gilm by chance, luck or by other people's power lack the ability to fight where such monsters might appear.
　In that sense, even though the women of the party have been trained in battle, their strength is not strong enough to be active in guillem.
　However, there are some women who have been active as adventurers, so if you have a party around them, you may be able to do something about it...
　Many women also learn how to use bows and train almost every day.
　Even if the monster is strong, it can be knocked down if the attack is out of reach, or if not, it can create an opportunity for the avant-garde comrades to escape.
　In that sense, it is no mistake that most people have been trained to use the bow.

"Still, it's better than nothing." Besides, I don't think I need to go out of town because I've been told that I'm going to have a job in the extension work for a while."
"Well, rather than doing nothing," This is all the goods that I brought with me for the time being. That's the rest...

　Divide it as you please.
　Ray tried to say so, but there was a voice suddenly interrupting him.

"Ray, can you give me a second?"
"... Gimekara? What's wrong with you? I didn't think I'd have anything to hurry to talk to you about."
"No, that's true, though." I just wanted to talk to you about something about."
"Consultation? I've given you all the supplies, and I have nothing more to do. -- all right?"

　She nods back, saying, "There's no problem."

"So, it seems that there is no problem, but what do you have to do?"
"Come this way. I don't really want to tell anyone."
"...let me tell you, I won't take on the shady business of assassination and so on."
"No! What does Ray think we are?"

　When Gimekara screams in disappointment, Ray recalls what the Solgee business has done.
　Brigade a woman into prostitution with a slave collar and give birth to a giant child.
　It was the Zorgay Trading Company that was dealing with such a jaya.
　Moreover, Gimekara has even declared that he would do business with the organizations behind him if he established himself in guillem during negotiations with Dusker.

"Well, I think it's a reasonable judgment, considering what you've done so far."

　If you say so, Gimekara can't argue with you.
　No, if you want to refute it, you can do it, but if you refute it pointlessly here, you'll only get in a bad mood.

"Anyway, I don't want to be asked too much if I can. Is that all right with you said.
"Ah... I see,"

　It wasn't Ray... but Sula who looked satisfied with Gimekara's words.
　Sula nods again to Ray, saying she can imagine what the consultation is.

"No problem," I'll assure you that it's not a dark matter. So why don't you listen to him?"Now that Sula has told me that much, I don't think Ray is thinking anything strange about the situation.

"All right. Then shall we go?"

　In this way, Ray heads to a deserted place, pulled by Gimekara.
　In their eyes, Elena, Viehra, Bune... and Rocks, the bodyguard of this party, are training the women... and Ray and Gimekara head to the shade of a tree, watching Marina teach many women how to bow.

"Excuse me, all of a sudden," . . . I think I told you a little about the food that only Ray knows."
"... ah... yes." That's the matter. I was wondering what it was like to drag you all the way. Why again?"
"No, the food I ate in the village a little while ago was unexpectedly delicious..."
"And you were a little impatient?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but delicious food is strong in business."
"Well, I understand,"

　Every restaurant that serves Ray's dishes such as udon, meat buns and pizza has seen sales rise.
　People can't live without eating, so it's only natural that they want to eat delicious food if they do.
　The benefits of eating may be small compared to dealing with aristocrats and jaya, but they are large in the sense that they can be obtained almost every day.
　With that in mind, Ray understands why Gimekara is so desperate.
　I understand, but... the question is, just because you know how Gimekara feels, will there be dishes that you can do something about right away?
　That's all I think about, and suddenly I think about the goblin meat.
　After all, Ray had studied with a certain person how to make goblin meat tasteful, though he had been too busy to show up recently.

(No, can't you?)

　Ray's partner is strictly a merchant.
　Ray also offers some money and ingredients and spices, but if he can eat goblin meat deliciously, it's the trade that will naturally put it on sale.
　That being the case, I can't add any gimecara to it now.
　Then I could easily think of... a little while ago...

"Natto (fermented soybeans.

　The moment Ray utters the word, Gimekara's eyes become as sharp as a bird of prey.

"And what kind of dish is natto?"
"No matter what you say, what kind of course. -- not cooking, but ingredients?"

　Ray didn't know the formal difference between food and ingredients, but since there are many dishes that use natto, he thinks it's probably not a mistake to call them ingredients.
　But for Gimekara, perhaps the ingredients were more interesting than the food, he smiled broadly at Ray.

"Not cooking, but ingredients?" That's interesting, isn't it? But can you get it around Gilm?"
"Oh, that's all right. It's made from beans, so it should be made normally."

　Now that he has come to this point, Ray continues to explain, remembering how to make natto as much as he knows.

"What you need is beans... beans, but it's hard to explain exactly what they are, so you should try various things with beans first."

　Edamame is soybeans, and Ray knows it, but unfortunately I've never seen anyone like eating edamame in Elgin, so I was not sure if that knowledge would help.

"What else is needed is straw. That's all."
"...Straw?"

　When Ray is told so, he suddenly realizes.
　What I know is rice ears... rice straws, but other... wheat straws can you make natto?
　However, as long as they don't know how to make natto in detail, they try hard with wheat straw first, and if it doesn't work, they think they'll give up.

"Oh, I'll boil the soybeans first, wrap them in straw, and leave them alone." After a certain amount of time, the beans will pull strings, so that's natto. ...I think this is the way to make it. However, this is just a general rule, so we have to learn about it by actually making it."
"Pulling the thread... isn't it rotten?"
"It's fermentation, to be exact," It's like cheese. Well, it seems that there are quite a few likes and dislikes, so you should try to make it as long as you like it."

　Hearing that it was fermented rather than rotten, Gimekara finally looked a little relieved.
