"Sweet. That's sweet."

　Speaking to workers, Ray says he's going to Dungeon, and after finishing his day's work -- carrying trees cut in the Trent forest, carrying materials, etc. -- he talks about Dungeon again over dinner at Marina's estate, and she's instantly ruined by Marina.

"Even so. It's a dungeon on a cliff, so I'm sure we're suited to it, but it's not that there's no one else. That's what a high-ranking adventurer is likely to be able to do, even if it's a little impossible."
"Yes, but it doesn't change that we're the best, does it?"

　Marina shakes her head as she puts the freshly baked oak into her mouth.

"In the end, Ray got stuck in the worker's bluff."
"You can say so. It's a dungeon. It's probably just made."

　The reason why I can't say for sure is because there was a possibility that the dungeon had actually grown on the cliff, resulting in a gateway to the cliff.
　Of course, the possibility is low, but it's still not impossible.
　But even such a dungeon didn't mean to stop Ray from trying.
　Desize's skill in topographical manipulation has that much effect.
　At the present level three, the ground can be raised or lowered by one meter, with a radius of about 50 meters.
　That alone has a tremendous effect, but Ray knows that when he reaches level five from his previous experience, his skills evolve to a heinous degree.
　That being the case, we should not miss a golden opportunity to increase the level of terrain manipulation.
　though I can't speak of it here, given that there's a veneer here who knows nothing about the art of the beasts.
　But even if Ray doesn't say anything about it, it's understandable to those who know about the art of the beast.
　And because I understand it, I realize that there is no point in opposing Ray's proposal here.

"If you're going to a dungeon anyway, I hope it's winter."
"Really? I think we should go as soon as possible."

　In winter, people here, including myself, will be free because they will not be busy without having to work on additional work.
　In contrast to Marina, Vichela hopes to go to Dungeon as soon as possible, hoping that Dungeon might be able to fight against a powerful monster.

"And what are you going to do?"

　Elena asks Ray without a trace of feeling.
　It was there that he had said in silence that he would follow Ray, but... Ray's military strength... No, I have no complaints about it because he is so grateful for its existence.
　Arra, who has been staying away in Gilm all these days, looks a little envious but resentful at Ray, but Ray responds to Elena's question, pretending not to notice it.

"To be honest, I'd like to participate in the Gamerion hunt, so I'd like to agree with Marina that winter is possible. ... But this dungeon seems to have started to spread all of a sudden. I don't feel good even when the inhabitants of Goltz are worried."

　After a bite of seafood pizza made from fish caught in the ocean -- not shrimp or crab, but fish meat -- he reopens his mouth.

"And this is not a request for a nomination, which means that even adventurers other than us can challenge the dungeon ... well, there's a question of whether we can get it into the dungeon safely, and how much equipment we can bring into it."

　Ray says, feeling the sour and sweet tomato-like sauce enhances the taste of white fish to a higher level.
　In fact, as workers have said, this request can only be made by Ray.
　Of course, for those adventurers... Ray doesn't know the city of Goltz, but workers say that adventurers in the countryside won't even be able to enter the dungeon.
　But it's possible for an adventurer to enter the dungeon with certain special skills -- like climbing down a cliff.
　Moreover, many high-ranking adventurers and notorious adventurers have the ability to stop being human.
　That being the case, such people would be able to enter the dungeon on the cliff wall.
　After all, there's a great possibility of a dungeon this time.
　If it's really a dungeon, the various resources in the dungeon will naturally be owned by the person who dives in the dungeon.
　If this story spreads, there is no doubt that many people will flock to Goltz in search of great wealth.

"So I'd like to head to the dungeon of Goltz as soon as possible, but does anyone know where the city of Goltz is?"
"I know,"
"I know,"

　Marina and Elena answer Ray's words, respectively.
　Contrary to these two, Vihela from the Westian Empire and Bune, who is not good at communicating with people, shake their heads at Ray's words.

"How far is it from here?"
"Well... well. It's definitely a long way off, but I have some good information about it."

　As she tells Marina with a smile, Ray looks ahead and opens her mouth with a smile that is different from the one she had a few seconds ago.

"The aristocrats whose territories are in the vicinity of the place where the Goltz is located are members of the neutral faction, so I don't think it's too difficult to tell Dusker this story."
"Don't be so frank with me,"

　Ray realizes that he is... and that they are a great force in building an extension of the guillem.
　That's because I expected Dusker to be in trouble if he said he was on a vacation at sea a while ago and wanted to go somewhere else for a long time.
　Of course, Ray and others receive requests for extension work day by day, so there is no need to tie them to guillem.
　But even with that in mind, the Ray's ability is what Gillum wants if possible.
　But the story is different if the Goltz they head for becomes the territory of a neutral aristocrat...that is, the territory of Dusker's comrades.
　The three major factions are fine, but their influence is still small compared to the other two factions, the royal faction and the aristocratic faction.
　Recently, Ray has expanded his power and friendly relations with the aristocracy, but even so, he is still a minor faction.
　However, it is only among the three major factions, and the neutrality faction is strong enough for the aristocrats who are not part of the three major factions.
　At any rate, it is the weakest neutral faction among the three major factions... or perhaps that's why the aristocrats belonging to the neutral faction are firmly united.
　The character of Dusker, who leads the neutral faction, may have a lot to do with this area.
　For that reason, as a dasker, a dungeon was found in the territory of a nobleman who belonged to the neutral faction, and some people were concerned about it, so if they were going to capture the dungeon, it would not be Ray's intention to oppose it.

"Well, I'll talk to Dusker to-morrow, and we'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."

　No one disagrees with Marina's words.
　If you push yourself too hard, you will be able to leave tomorrow, but if you try to capture Dungeon, you don't know exactly how much time it will take.
　That being the case, it was absolutely necessary to talk to Dusker and hand over the work that the Rays were doing to others.
　Especially in the case of Rey, it was necessary to provide a replacement for the trees that had been cut down without the mistling.

(I think it'll be quite a pool if I come back.)

　Dozens of trees at a time...that's more than a hundred trees, but Ray can carry them by mistling.
　By comparison, transporting felled trees by carriage requires considerable effort.
　Nevertheless, the amount of trees that can be carried at a time is not so great.
　Given the circumstances, there is no doubt that the trees that cannot be carried will be stored in the forest of Trent.
　Thus, the Rays decided to leave for Dungeon in two days, and continued to have a good dinner. 　





　The next day Ray was carrying the trees of the Trent forest as usual...

"Oh, oh, please, Mr. Ray. Stay a little longer in Gillum! At least until I finish my duty in the forest of Trent!"

　One of the adventurers asks Ray to do so.
　The adventurer, who works in the forest of Trent under a contract for a certain length of time, will naturally have to transport the felled trees when Ray is gone.
　Loading felled trees into a carriage, if you're just going to guard it, takes a lot of strength.
　Moreover, after transporting them to Gilm, they have the task of unloading the trees from the carriage and loading them firmly in designated places.
　With that in mind, it's definitely a very physical job.
　When Ray was with and without him, fatigue and difficulty changed greatly. That was the work of the Trent forest.
　But Ray shakes his head in response to such a plea.

"I'm sorry, but I have something to do. And this isn't something I can decide at my own discretion, it's something I do at the party."
"Oh... I see. Well, the contract isn't that long, so I'll do my best."When the adventurer who was talking to Ray says so regretfully, the female adventurer, who was on guard from a distance, smiled and spoke.

"I was lucky to finish my work in the forest of Trent today. ... Hey, Ray. I heard that it's almost time for a monster called Gamerion to appear. Really?"

　The adventurer, who initially spoke to Ray in a polite tone, works for days at the same workplace and keeps talking to him, and that attitude becomes more comfortable.
　Is Ray considered friendly or despised... a subtle point.
　However, if Ray prefers an attitude of respect, he doesn't like it either.
　A little face-to-face would have been better, but as I was in charge of the forest of Trent, I would have to see him almost every day.
　It's out of place and, above all, troublesome to have a respectful attitude toward someone like that every time you meet him.
　That's why Ray is so easy to talk back to the female adventurer.

"True, but Gamerion is a pretty violent monster. He's a good fighter with rank C. If you touch him thinking you can do something about it easily, you'll have a pretty hard time. ... I'm sure you'll make a good profit."
"Well... you say Ray is strong? Then I'm lost."

　Women's adventurers don't usually have the strength to work in guillem.
　That's why I was able to take Ray's words seriously.
　I guess it was because I was able to see my ability objectively that I was able to put safety first.
　If this put more importance on making money than on his own safety, he would have ignored Ray's words and gone on a gamerion hunt.
　Of course, I'm saying this now, but it's up to women whether they can actually understand and act properly.

(There's a way to act with someone stronger than you, but it's a little dangerous.)

　Join hands with strangers and knock down monsters that make money.
　If that happens naturally, it's no wonder we're at odds with each other over what to do with each other.
　And obviously a less skilled female adventurer would naturally be paid less.
　No, it's still better at that level, and in the worst case, it's possible to kill each other.
　Then the woman in front of Ray wouldn't be able to... almost certainly die.
　Ray's opinion is that, given the circumstances surrounding it, we should still stop hunting gamerions.
　Originally, due to the building extension work on the guillem, there is a shortage of people due to the surplus of work.
　As long as you don't have a job and you're not in trouble, there's no doubt that being greedy is fatal.
