"Oh, I can see Gilmoo."
"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto exclaims joyfully.
　I enjoyed my vacation at sea, but I guess it's a place for Ray and Sett to return.

"And yet... there are still a lot of people."

　Ray muttered because the number of people heading for Gilm did not seem to be decreasing at all.
　I can see it's a very large scale of construction, the extension of the guillem.
　That's the kind of construction that could be done every few years, in some cases.
　For this reason, it is only natural for those who do various tasks to want as many as possible.
　There is no doubt that Gilm will always accept such people, and as a result, so many people will still go to Gilm...

(But what is the matter with the inn?)

　As far as Ray knows, the inn in Gillum should have been full quite a while ago.
　The number of people sleeping in the open air increased, and in the end, even in order to prevent it, a simple building could have been built near the site of the extension work.
　But it's clear that the building, which sleeps in small groups, will only be flooded with so many people, so where are all these people sleeping?
　That's how Ray thinks, and he finds a horse-drawn carriage carrying a lot of wood moving down the road.
　Naturally, it's impossible for an ordinary carriage to carry many trees, and it's a carriage specially made for carrying trees.
　There are a number of horse-drawn carts tied together, and of course there are many horses towing them.
　Ray was hesitating about where to get off, but let's save time by storing that tree.
　Thinking so, Ray tells Sett to go down to the ground.
　Of course, getting off first... it's a set basket, though.
　On the ground... it descends a short distance from the carriage carrying the tree, and when it reaches its limit, the cages are released.
　The sound of a set basket hitting the ground echoes around, and strangers are surprised at the sudden sound.
　In the meantime, only a small number of people who know the existence of the cages are surprised by the sound of the cages, but quickly recover their composure.
　A particularly kind person tells those around him who were about to be confused that this is safe.
　In fact, the capabilities of the casket disappeared quickly, leaving only the casket in the vicinity of the sound.
　Soon after, you hear the flapping of the wings, and then the set comes down.

(I'm surprised to see Seto, but I'm not surprised to see Seto... Far from that, many people are happy to see Seto, but I guess it's because he's known to exist... well, honestly, I don't know if I should be happy or not.)

　Ray was happy that Seto was accepted, but at the same time he was worried that he might not be afraid of monsters, and most importantly, he was worried that someone might interfere with Seto.
　I would welcome to poke fun at Seto if it meant loving him... it was very troublesome to deal with someone who wanted to poke fun at Seto's hair and feathers.
　At any rate, upon landing, Ray immediately heads to his destination.
　The coachman and his bodyguard are naturally pleased to see Ray and Sett.
　...but I'm glad to see you after a long time, but most importantly, I think it's because I understand that it's going to be easier to work with.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! It's Ray, he's back!"
"Our savior, Ray! No, Ray! Dear Ray! Ray!"
"Good, good, good," This will make the work of carrying trees much easier."

　That's how everyone rejoices, and those around them who have nothing to do with them wonder why they are so happy.
　But Ray doesn't seem to care about them and opens his mouth.

"And can I take it with me asked.
"Oh, of course! For God's sake! Without Ray, we would have had a hard time getting it down, let alone carrying it."
"I suppose,"

　It takes a lot of effort to carry this tree normally, even if you have extraordinary physical abilities like Ray.
　It's as if you're running out of energy as close to your limit for a working person.

(I thought it was the people in charge of the place to take it down, but this would drive out the adventurers guarding it.)

　Thinking so, Ray keeps the tree on top of the carriage in a mistling.
　The people around him looked dumbfounded by Ray's appearance, but... that's the usual thing, and Ray goes on talking about it without any particular concern.

"And how many trees have you cut down in the direction of the Trent?"
"Ah... that's... very much."

　The adventurer of the bodyguard says so with difficulty.
　But Ray was not particularly angry and convinced.
　After all, the Rays had been away from Gillum for more than ten days.
　I knew from the start that this time I would be back soon if I had been gone about Jaya.
　That's probably why the woodcutters were so unreserved in cutting down the Trent forest.
　What's more, it's already late summer... No, it's already time to call it early autumn.
　Winter is coming soon in autumn, and woodcutters will be unable to work in winter.
　Well, if you try to work hard, there's nothing you can't do.
　Especially this time, we are not cutting trees in the mountains, we are cutting trees in the forest of Trent.
　However, the danger is naturally high.
　Some monsters, especially in winter, appear only at that time of year, and that kind of monster is usually stronger than other monsters.
　Cutting down trees in the midst of this is a need to hire stronger adventurers than they are today... but for Gillum, who is building extensions, it's a waste of money.
　If you do so, it would be more efficient to send a lot of woodcutters again in spring.
　What's more, now, in the middle of desperately collecting enough wood for construction work in winter, it was no reason to dispatch woodcutters in winter.

"All right, then I'll go to the forest of Trent when I've settled down. Are you going back there now?"
"Oh... I see. Some people think it's better to go back to let Ray know he's back. Especially in this case, Ray needs to get ready to carry it."

　Ray was somewhat suspicious of the adventurer's words, but now he doesn't care if he goes to the forest of Trent to find out.

"Then do it,"
"Are you done with your business? Then, I'd like you to put away your basket."

　Marina's voice from behind turns Ray's gaze toward the set basket.
　Then many people gathered around the casket and looked at it with interest.
　Many people are naturally concerned about it, since they suddenly appear out of nowhere.
　Moreover, there are many merchants among those who are currently moving along the highway.
　It's no surprise for merchants to think that a set basket is a great opportunity.
　No, it would be impossible for a merchant to live as a merchant if he could not judge it as a business opportunity by looking at a set basket.
　...but I'm sure Ray has no intention of going out with it.

"Well, if things go on like this, some people may have strange ideas."

　In the present situation, if you put your hand in the basket... if you pretend to get some of the material, it's the act of clearly antagonizing Ray.
　To antagonize Ray with guillem means to antagonize Ray's subservient set, and if that happens, it's not impossible to live or do business with guillem, but there's no doubt that it will be difficult.
　However, even if you know this, Seto Basket stimulates the interest of merchants, and most importantly, merchants who come to Gilm for the first time don't know how troublesome it is to antagonize Ray and Seto.
　Carriages and adventurers leave the carts and adventurers alone, hoping to put the carts in the mistling before the merchants get into such trouble.
　The adventurers were tense, partly because Marina, a former Gilmaster, suddenly appeared.
　Still, Marina's clothes... and especially her wide open chest seemed to be her instinct.

"Please step back a little. I'm sorry."

　As he says so, Ray approaches the set basket, raking apart merchants and horsemen.
　Of course it's not interesting for me to distinguish myself, but it was Ray who did it... I can't express my dissatisfaction if I know he was on the one on the set before.
　...unless you're such a fool."It hurts! What are you doing! Send it to me as a nuisance!"

　Rather than a merchant... or rather a man who looks completely like a thief, he yells at Ray.
　Some of the people around me who see him are disgusted.
　It was obvious that he was trying to make a false accusation against Ray and steal the set basket.
　But more than that, even pity was directed at him.
　It was presumptuous of him to call himself a merchant, for he knew who the man fit to call a thief was making a false accusation against.
　Perhaps men have been doing business through violence.
　In a small village, it's no wonder no one can stop a man from doing so.
　But... this is not the place where men used to do business, it's guillem.
　It's a place where many skilled adventurers gather... ...although there are many adventurers who are so weak now.
　At any rate, it was almost impossible for a man to succeed if he tried to do business the way he had always done in such a place.
　Moreover, as long as Ray was involved, the man's future as a merchant was almost over.

"What? Sleep talk. Oh, don't say it even if you're sleeping."
"What!"

　As a man, he thought, Ray would listen if he threatened as before.
　In fact, he had been a merchant selling what he had gained, and, above all, Ray was too small to believe he would disobey his orders.
　Understandably, Ray, who obeyed his orders, rebutted without particular fear.
　That's probably why the man didn't know for a moment what he had said to him.
　If the man had questioned Ray's complete lack of fear of his threats -- in his opinion, of business negotiations -- he could have prevented the tragedy that followed.
　However, the man is not convinced that Ray defied his orders... and, unable to stand it, he clenches his fist and suddenly tries to hit him.
　For a man, the act is a matter of course.
　A surprise attack knocks Ray with his fist, unable to do anything.
　I thought so and smiled inwardly...

"Oh!"

　The next moment, however, they are shocked and blow away.
　It's a bit of a sight to see a man... a giant who just hit Ray blow away a few meters.
　Also, none of the people gathered around the cages were injured in spitefully injured.
　It's a testament to Ray's calculations and beating up the man around here.
　It was just a light blow for Ray, but it was just for him.
　For a man, it was a powerful blow more than enough, keeping him conscious, but unable to speak.
　Looking at the man, Ray immediately loses interest and starts walking again towards the set basket.
　No one thought of interrupting Ray from walking any further... let alone entangling him with a set basket.

"Don't overdo it?"

　Listening to Elena's words near the casket, Ray nods back and puts the casket in a mistling.
　Many had seen the wood storage, so few were surprised at it.
　Still, many people were surprised that they had an item box.

"Oh, no. It's not Gerisla. It's been a long time."
"Why, Bistol... Why are you..."
"Atashi is on good terms with Ray. Thanks to you, we were able to go to the beach together."

　The merchant, who seemed to know Bistol, looked envious at the word sea.
