"Ray, I've only gone shopping, but what and how can it be that we're going to put down pirates?"

　When Ray boats all the pirates to the village and finally unloads the man with the death-size blade, Ray puts the empty ship in Mistilling, aboard Seto, who returned from the village.
　Then he returned to the village with the boat.
　Marina's first voice was addressed to Ray when he returned to the village.

"You may say so," I can only say, by the way, that'

　In fact, Ray didn't act this way for any reason.
　Really, it was only a matter of course.

"Well... no, it's often said that if Ray moves, he'll get into trouble, and I wonder if that can't be helped."
"...wait. I don't remember hearing that. Is that really what you're saying?"

　In an unexpected remark from Marina's mouth, Ray says so.
　Marina's words, as if a dog were walking, would not be satisfactory for Ray.
　But Marina moves on regardless of Ray's appearance.

"First of all, the pirates are in the village square, but what are you going to do?"
"Oh... I see. For now, we need to tie them up so that they can't move. No, can't you do anything about it with spirit magic?"
"Well, yes," You can do it or not, but you can't do it for a very long time?"

　At Marina's words, Elena, who had also come to greet Ray, twists her head in wonder.

"Huh? I think Marina's house is capable of preventing trespassers with spirit magic, which is effective without any problems even after a long time, isn't it?
"Well, it's only because that spirit is a particularly compatible spirit with me for a long time." This is my first time here, so it's a little hard to do the same as my house. "Well, it doesn't matter if it's only one or two nights, so you don't have to worry."

　Marina's words reassure me that Ray will be fine for a short time.

"Then, for the time being, please," I'll have to go to a town near here and bring in guards and slave traders as soon as possible. --is that all right?"

　The last thing Ray asked was an old woman watching them... the village mayor.
　There are some guards near the village mayor, just in case.
　When Ray suddenly approaches him, he nods back unmoved.
　It is the difference of age that distinguishes themselves from Elena, Marina, and Vihela, who had been completely fascinated by the three most rare and beautiful women of all time.

"Well, that's all right. As the head of this village, it is sufficient to save the village just from being damaged."
"If you say so, I'll be saved, too." Oh, and about fishing gear and fish..."
"I'll get that ready, too," It's because Ray saved me a lot this time. I'll keep it as cheap as possible."

　He said, "Huhuhuh. Ray nods joyfully to the village mayor's words with such laughter.

"Okay. So where's the relatively big city around here?"
"Well... I don't think so." There is a town called Juvis in about three days' drive. That's the biggest city around here."
"Oh... it's closer than I expected." I thought it would take ten days each way."
"There will be a lot of problems in the countryside." and may I leave all that to you?"
"Oh, I'm going to the town of Juvis right away. "Well, before that, what is the name of the village?"

　Not knowing the village's name, Ray asks the mayor.
　When asked, the mayor opens his eyes a little, wondering if he thought he knew the area.

"This village has little to do with the outside world. Some of the villages don't seem to know the name of the village. Well... I see. For the time being, if you think of the village of Galanca, you'll understand."
"All right. ... And in which direction is Juvis?"
"After leaving the village, if you go eastward, you will soon run into a road. If you go down the road to the left, you'll get to Juvis."

　After a brief conversation with the village chief, Ray leaves the village with Seto, simply telling the Elena to ask for the rest.
　At such a busy pace, Elena and others look a little dumbfounded, but soon each begin to prepare.
　The first thing to do would be to make room for pirates to catch.
　Marina is in charge of it, as I said with Ray, and she makes a prison out of soil just outside the village.
　Naturally, the villagers' feelings for pirates are not good.
　Therefore, Marina thought it would be best to avoid contact between pirates and villagers as much as possible.
　Originally, Ray wanted the villagers to take care of the pirates, but he thought it would be a bad idea for the villagers to harm the pirates, so he followed Marina's suggestion honestly.

"Well, I wonder how long it will take to be back,"
"Huh? Considering Seto's speed, wouldn't he be back by the end of the day? I brought him a set basket."

　When Elena hears Marina's muttering, she replies, but Marina knows that Ray... and that Seto is subtly out of touch or in frequent trouble.
　You might encounter other thieves or a monster-attacked carriage before you reach the city of Juvis.
　No, I even think it would be easy if it were that much.
　Elena, perhaps a little uneasy at Marina's appearance, gently deflected her gaze.





"Grull?"
"Huh? Oh, that's the road. If you go that way to the left, you'll find a town called Juvis."

　At a time when Elena and Marina were worried... unexpectedly, Ray and Sett had no particular trouble and were following the village mayor's instructions.
　Ray has a strong impression that he gets into trouble frequently, but in reality he doesn' reality.
　If you're in trouble almost every day of the year, you'll have no time to rest.
　...however, in the first place, it is very rare for him to get into trouble as often as Ray did.
　Take a set to the left of the road and you'll soon see the city.
　Naturally smaller than Gilm and much smaller than the cities of Abuero and Subursta.
　As it is in the countryside, the size of the city is by no means large.
　Still, it is incomparably larger than the village of Galanca, where Ray had been.

"People are... in their own way,"

　Those who walk down the road to Juvis have a certain number.
　That's the size of the street that's overwhelmingly larger than Galanca.

(Galanca was like a forgotten village)

　Of course it's just Ray's feeling, not really.Taxes are also kept in place every year.

"Seto, come down."
"Grull!"

　Seeing the city approaching, Ray asks Sett to do so.
　Seto then immediately purges and descends, flapping his wings.
　Naturally, some of the people walking on the ground noticed the appearance of Seto, and some of them started to make a fuss.
　But Ray doesn't seem particularly concerned about it, as it's always the case.
　Still, I went down a short distance from the city with some consideration for the gatekeepers.

"Well, that town is Jubis, is it?"

　I asked a man who seemed to be a merchant near where Seto descended from Seto.
　The merchant, with his face fixed in surprise... still nodding back to Ray's words.
　Is it a merchant's will or a kind of guts?
　Regardless of the reason, Ray thanked the merchant for telling him about it, and headed for the city, satisfied that this was Jubis.
　Naturally, Ray approached in his set, and even the guards guarded him.
　I could see... that the guards in the countryside could not manage to set up the Gryphon.
　Several guards were already working to report to their bosses.
　Ray understands the movements of the guards, but he is not shy... but rather he calls out to the guards in front of the main gate without any particular concern when he comes to let them know that he has caught pirates.

"I'm Ray. I'm a Rank B adventurer. I have caught a pirate in Galanca, and I hope he will be handed over and confirmed."
"... Ray? With a Gryphon, Ray... a crimson Ray!"

　Fortunately, the guards probably knew about Ray. lower one's spear ready to be attacked at any time

(It seems that Juvis knew me in his own way. ...I'm glad it didn't cause any trouble.)

　In the past, Ray has been repeatedly despised and entangled by his appearance.
　These days, such things have ceased to exist, but they are only in places that are flourishing in their own way, starting with Gilm.
　It was not even known by the person who was the source of the rumor whether or not Ray had reached the countryside like Jubis.
　Fortunately, however, I wish the rumor had arrived.
　Relievingly, Ray gets off Sett's back and reopens.

"You seem to know me, don't you?" Oh, here's the guild card. So what about the pirates? I wish they would come as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute," I can't judge this by myself! I'll call the superior at once!"

　That's how the guards shout, but Ray also confirms that some of them left the scene to call for support when they saw Ray's presence.

(Are you still wary of this?)

　I didn't think so, but when I think about it, a notorious adventurer suddenly appeared in the countryside, and he wanted me to take him back because he had caught a pirate.
　It would be crazy not to question it.
　Eventually, Ray waits with Seto for his boss, who was called near the main gate.
　In the meantime, the guards had nothing particular to do, so they tried to go through the procedures for those who wanted to get into the city... and many who knew that Ray and Sett were quiet and didn't harm them looked at Ray interestingly to see what was going to happen, and they didn't seem to go through the procedures.

"Why are you so inquisitive?"
"I can't help it," I don't think there's much trouble in this country like this."

　Each guard complains.
　In fact, people around me have proved that the word is correct.
　Under the current circumstances, forcing people into the city will only complain.
　...if Ray and Sett were to harm others, they might have been a little different.
　After a while... Ray eats the dried meat from the misty ring with Seto, and soon several guards appear from the streets.
　It was clear that the leading figure among the guards... was at least above the guards who spoke to Ray.

"Are you Ray with crimson?"
"Oh, you mean you're a great guard, aren't?"
"I don't mind that kind of perception. So you said you had caught a pirate, but where on earth was he?"
"Do you know the village of Galanca? It's quite far from here."
"... Galanca? Oh, I know. I've never been there, but I only know by name."

　Being a captain of the guard, it is fair to say that he remembered Galanca's name.
　In fact, when Ray heard the name Galanca, many of the people around him looked as if they didn't understand what he was saying.

"There was a pirate hideout on an uninhabited island near Galanca. So, at the request of the villagers, I caught them. But... if you know where Galanca is, it's a quick one, but it's quite far away, isn't it? That's why I've come this far."

　When Ray said so, the captain of the guards bowed his head in wonderfully.
