About ten days after his date with Kenny, Ray came to the guild as usual.
　Once in the last ten days Ray has been delivering supplies with Elena and others under Sula.
　Maybe it's because they're all travelling in cabs. They're already quite close to Gillum, and at this rate they'll definitely get to Gillum in the early fall, let alone winter.
　However, in the last ten days or so since Ray's return from the sea to Gilm, he has been moving rapidly from summer to autumn.
　If that's the case, it might be a little later than Ray expected for the Soulas to arrive in Gilm.
　Anyway, as Ray enters the guild, we hear adventurers talking about Gamerion.
　As the season has come to fall, it's usual for people to talk about it...but the question is, were the adventurers who came to Gilm in search of work during this extension also talking about Gamelion?

(It's just as Kenny expected.)

　Many adventurers who regularly work in guillem understand the strength of Gamerion.
　However, not all adventurers who came to Gillum to work on extensions are, if not all, skilled.
　There was no doubt that if such men tried to defeat Gamelion, there would be a spate of casualties.
　In some cases, extension work may be delayed.
　In this situation, where we want to work as hard as possible by winter, it's only a matter of putting the cart before the horse, but... knowing the dangers, the benefits of defeating a monster called Gamerion are huge.
　It's only natural that the extensions in Gillum are not that expensive, though the work itself is quite a bit of work.
　Of course, it's not cheap enough to eat, but it's still an overwhelmingly low wage compared to what you get for defeating Gamerion.
　While this was a death-threatening request, some adventurers were able to make it to Gilm, and that was why they thought monsters around Gilm would be the only ones to deal with.
　In fact, there is a big difference in the difficulty between coming to Gilm before the extension and coming to Gilm now.
　However, as long as there is a fact that they have actually come to Gilm, many adventurers believe that their power can be understood by Gilm.
　...and in that sense, ordinary people who have come looking for work, even though they are not adventurers, are probably better suited to building extensions.
　Of course, there are no such ordinary people who overestimate themselves and register themselves as adventurers….
　though, of course, a man who has just become an adventurer cannot be asked to do so outside the city."Fortunately or unfortunately, Gillum is in a very obscene situation at present, and there is no way to mislead the eyes.
　Having come to Gilm to earn money, it's only natural that you'll be able to focus your attention on jobs where you can get paid more.
　It's too late for us to regret it until we're on the verge of dying.

(I wish I could do something about it.)

　Ray is a little sad when someone who has nothing to do with him dies, but doesn't drag him around.
　Even more, adventurers are self‐responsible.
　If you end up dying from misjudgment of your ability, you've only got yourself to blame.
　Still, I feel that it would be better not to the extent that I feel that I should not die.
　That's partly because Kenny was worried.
　But there's no doubt that it's impossible to do anything about it.
　It's true that if you force yourself into prohibiting gamelion hunting, that's the problem.

(In the end, I guess you need to look at your abilities objectively.)

　With that in mind, Ray was approaching the counter where Lenora was to ask about her schedule today...

"Mr. Ray!"

　For some reason, Lenora exclaims happily the moment she sees Ray.
　Kenny is always happy to see Ray, but it's rare for Lenora to imitate him like she does now.
　In fact, the adventurer, who had been processing a request from another receptionist at a nearby counter, looked at him with astonishment.
　Lenora may have noticed the attention from the people around her. She still beckons Ray, pale and flushed.
　Next to Lenora, Kenny was doing the work of another adventurer, and he looked at Lenora for a moment and envied her.

"And was there anything wrong with you talking to me like that?"
"No, sir, it's a problem, if you think of it as a matter of course, but will you go to the office, for the guildmaster is calling?"
"...worker's?"

　No wonder Ray had a bad feeling the moment he heard the word.
　Calling him to his office in this situation must be because something troublesome has happened.

(I wish I had brought Marina here.)

　Marina, Vihela and Bune are each heading straight to their place of work, partly because they work separately.
　Ray comes to the guild almost every morning because in Ray's case, there are many things he can do, such as mistiling and setting.
　This time, it could be said that it was a disaster.
　Ray, however, doesn't have any particular feelings for the workers.
　So I don't mind being called to the office itself, but if I were to be asked to do anything, I wanted Marina to do the negotiations... to be honest, too.
　Ray's recent negotiations have been entirely up to the marina, and that's the way he's come to terms with it.

(Well, if something really bad happened, he would come to the inn to call me, not wait until I came. ... Then I'd like to think that perhaps it wasn't such an urgent trouble.)

　Considering what's been going on, perhaps... maybe... it's not that big of a problem. ... I wish it weren't, but Ray walks into the counter and up the stairs behind it with Lenora to the worker's office.
　Originally, adventurers are busy at this time of day, but Lenora's invitation to Ray's guildmaster's office may be of some urgency.

"Excuse me, Guildmaster. I've brought Mr. Ray."
"Oh, come in,"

　I hear it through the door and Lenora opens the door.

"Wow..."

　When Ray enters the office, he sees the scene inside and says something like that's what he says.
　But it is only natural that such voices should be heard.
　There were piles of papers on the office desk, completely obliterating the face of the worker who was supposed to be working.
　What's more, Ray's mouth could be taken for surprise or pity when he saw piles of papers on the floor, not to mention on his office desk.

"...get some tea ready."

　I got up from my chair and finally saw the face of the worker.
　Lenora bows and leaves the room with a worried look on her face at such a worker's words.

"For the time being... this is all right, go ahead."

　The worker points to the sofa in his office and says so and comes to Ray's side with a light stretch.
　With all this work on his hands, Ray still shows no sign of fatigue in the worker's expression.

(In a way, work may be my hobby.)

　With that in mind, Ray sits on the sofa, and Lenora brings tea and a small, light sandwich on a plate.

"Oh, is that all right?"
"Yes, the guildmaster must have a hard job. He must eat a little delicious food and work hard. ... Mr. Ray, if you don't mind. Well, it's not something I can brag about because it's made by hand."

　That's what Lenora says, and she leaves the office.
　Lenora's homemade sandwich with a lot of fans.
　If fan adventurers heard such a thing, they would definitely envy Ray and his workers.
　In some cases, some may even challenge Ray to a duel.
　Ray takes such sandwiches to his mouth is full.
　The texture of the vegetables and the soft texture of the stewed meat are a little spicy, but spread through the mouth with a refreshing sour sauce.
　Naturally, it's a few steps down compared to sandwiches sold in professional cooks and bakeries.
　But no one could argue that sandwiches are still delicious.
　It's not just Ray who eats sandwiches, it's workers.
　After finishing the simple sandwiches of cheese, ham and vegetables deliciously, I finally feel comfortable and breathe out a little sigh.
　Ray asks such a worker after another cup of tea.

"And then? Is there any reason why you called me to your office?"

　Ray doesn't think he'll bother to be called to the guildmaster's office because he wanted someone to talk to.
　If you want someone to talk to, that's what everyone else has to do.
　When Ray says something, the worker nods and opens his mouth."I'll be blunt. Why don't you try to capture Dungeon?"
"...what?"

　What are you talking about?
　That's the first thing I thought when I heard the worker say.
　Originally, Ray captured both dungeons around Gilm.
　The idea of trying to capture Dungeon in such a situation reminds me of talking to Kenny a little while ago.

"Did you find a new dungeon near Gilmoo?"

　If so, it would be painful and itchy for Gillum.
　Dungeons certainly bring a lot of wealth, but they also pose a very high risk.
　It's a very high risk, high return, especially in the current situation where there are many adventurers who would not be able to come to Guillem.
　Kenny was also worried about Gamelion, but in Gamelion's case, if he was lucky -- or bad -- he could not encounter Gamelion.
　But if it became a dungeon, it would have been a different story.
　Dungeons vary according to location and hierarchy, but they are still highly likely to encounter monsters.
　Furthermore, Gamerion is known for its offensive methods, as many Gilmese adventurers have fought.
　Of course, it varies greatly depending on the individual, but there's nothing we can do about it.
　Compared to that, dungeons don't know what kind of monsters appear or what kind of monsters appear.
　It wasn't a place to go to, if not very much, an adventurer with a question mark of ability.
　But Ray's words shake the worker's head.

"No, I'm sure you found the dungeon, but it's not near Gilmoo."
"...is it Abuero or Subluster?"

　Both are towns close to Gilm.
　Finding a dungeon in such a place would undoubtedly cause a great stir.
　Although such information has not even come into Ray's ear.
　No, there aren't many ways to get Ray's information, but Elena, a symbol of the aristocracy, and Marina, a former guildmaster, have an accurate network of information.
　Vihela is not as good as two, but she has her own network of information.
　Ray, who dined with the three of us every night, should have been able to find out if he had such information.
　But Ray hasn't heard that information.
　It means that there is no such information... or, if there is, it hasn't spread that much.
　But workers also shake their heads.

"No, that's not true. Do you know the town of Goltz?"

　Ray thinks a little about the worker's words, but then shakes his head when he doesn't know.

"Is it a famous town?"
"Not really. It's not particularly noticeable, it's the most prosperous city in the surrounding area... but suddenly something that looks like a dungeon appeared on the wall of a mountain cliff just off the goltz."

　Like what he thought, Ray turned his eyes to encourage the worker to move on.
