"Well... toast to the completion of your request!"
"Cheers!"

　a bar attached to the guild of Goltz
　The bar echoes the voices of adventurers.
　It's still about 4 p.m. and still a little early in the evening.
　Still, many adventurers were happily beginning the feast in the guild bar.

"Yes, wait! Here's an oak skewer first! I'll bring you another oak dish later, so don't eat too much of this!"

　The bar clerk says so and puts oak skewers on each table, not vegetables stuck between the meat and the meat.
　The demolition of Galangiga was completed, and the materials and meat were handed over to Ray about 30 minutes ago.
　The adventurers now having a banquet in the bar came to the bar in a guild with the excitement of finishing their work.
　Guild, who asked Ray to dismantle the monster, had also asked the bar to prepare the banquet in order to thank those who had done so in advance.
　What saved the guild was Ray's transfer of an oak.
　Of course, the guild of Goltz is not financially tight enough to manage a single banquet.
　However, the guild staff were all deeply grateful to Ray for giving him a piece of ingredients for an oak, including Dungeon's capture.

"It's delicious! Yeah, it's great to have a drink after work!"
"Well, it's safe to say that I'm alive for this drink."
"Oak skewers are also... delicious. It's delicious... but now that the dungeons are gone, it's going to be difficult to get them myself."

　The oak, which fell from a dungeon on the cliff wall, was literally a treat for the adventurer who found it.
　Oak magic stones sell for a reasonable amount of money, and the material is gold.
　But for adventurers, the meat of the oak was of importance.
　Even if you're at a party of a few people, there are quite a few individuals who weigh more than 100 kg of oak per person -- that's just the part of the meat that you can eat, without the internal organs.
　Of course there were some small oaks, but basically those who secured the bodies of the oaks were able to eat the meat as much as they wanted.
　...however, as long as we can't imitate eating 100 kg of meat together, we'll put up for sale any meat we can't finish ourselves.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. What would have happened if the dungeon had spread out like that?"
"Hah, we couldn't help it. That's what we'd have to do to invite high-ranking adventurers to capture it."
"Is that any different from our current situation?"
"It's not a request, it's because Ray and others challenged the dungeon for their own convenience, so it's not a nomination request, but a reward."
"They've made a lot of money out of dungeon. They don't have to go out of their way to get paid."

　Adventurers who have been listening to the man around them look satisfied as he tells them over a drink of ale.
　It's only natural that they dismantled monsters such as Galangiga, Kelpy, and Argos Bear, which they had knocked down at the request of the guild.
　Just selling the material you get from it can definitely make a fortune... no, it could be more than that.
　Galangiga in particular had grown in size and strength completely different from that of the original monster, perhaps because of the dungeon's core.
　Many disbanded adventurers don't know Galangiga because they didn't fight it, much less because the original Galangiga doesn't appear around the golz.
　That's why only a few adventurers recognize that all of the monsters called Galangiga are as large as they've dismantled themselves.

"Anyhow, yes. If you really want to get oak meat, why don't you go to that dungeon? Well, there's a possibility of an oak settlement around the Goltz."

　The words make all the adventurers who were listening look like wow...
　Of course, it's a woman adventurer who has a particularly stern look on her face.
　For a woman adventurer who knows what happens to a woman caught in an oak, it is nothing but a nightmare to form an oak settlement near the goltz.
　No, not to mention female adventurers, but even female clerks are staring coldly at him.
　He must have noticed that. He was in a hurry to make excuses.





"Then I'll be back,"
"Yes, I hope you'll have fun, but I'll be back in Gilm tomorrow, so don't be too late."

　The day after the demolition of Garangiga, Ray and Vihela went out into the city.
　The last day of my stay in Goltz is also the last day of three consecutive dates.
　Elena and Marina had seen them off.

"I envy you a little,"
"What?"

　Marina mutters as she looks at a conspicuous Vihela at the very back, and Elena asks.

"Vihela can be with Ray all day today, right? Me and Elena didn't have that long a date."
"Oh, I see. ... That makes you jealous of Vichela, but we dated Ray first. I understand why the last Vichela enjoys her date a lot."

　On the two sides of the conversation, Bune was on Sett's back.
　Yero is also on Seto's back with such a Bune, and one or two of them enjoy a relaxing time.
　Unlike yesterday, Beune has no combat training today.
　Relieu was no longer here looking for souvenirs as it was his last day in Goltz.

"Well, what shall we do today? Why don't we go out together for a while?"

　At Marina's suggestion, Elena was a little worried... and eventually nodded.

"That's all right. ... What about Bune?"
"Well..."

　Bune responds languidly to Elena's call.
　Have you not recovered from yesterday's fatigue, or are you sleepy after breakfast?
　Elena didn't know what was going on in the area, but she could see that Bune didn't want to go out and just wanted to relax.

"All right, then, I hope you're resting in your room. If anything happens, Bune will be able to do anything by himself."

　To tell you so, there were expectations that something strange in the Goltz would not be so big.

"Yes,"

　Shortly returned to Elena, Bune gets off Sett's back and heads for the inn.
　After seeing off such Bune, Elena would discuss with Marina what to do today.





"Oh, my God..."

　As soon as they enter the store, a clerk smiles meaningfully at Ray.
　That's natural, of course. This is the shop where Ray bought his hair ornament for the marina yesterday.
　Naturally, the clerk remembered a man like Marina who left a strong impression on her, and also remembered Ray, who was with her.
　And Ray is with me today, a man who is intensely s*xy and impresses me just as strongly, but he's clearly different from Marina.
　That means Ray's been on a date alone with the most beautiful woman for two days in a row.
　It's only natural to cast a meaningful glance at such a person.
　...rather, he winks and opens his mouth as if he knew it.

"Welcome. It's your first time at this restaurant, right? What kind of food are you looking for?"

　The emphasis on the word "first time" is probably indicating that Ray had never been to this store with Marina yesterday.
　Instead, the clerk asked Ray silently, "Would you buy me something?"(No, I don't have to hide it. In the first place...)

　For Ray, the clerk's behavior is quite off the mark, because...

"Oh? Hey, Ray. You bought the hair ornament Marina wore yesterday, didn'

　Yes, Vihela came to this store because she was interested in the hair ornament that Marina bought Ray yesterday.
　Vihela's attitude twitches the clerk's expression for a moment.
　You never thought you'd come to the store for that reason.
　Still, the reason he quickly dispelled his surprise was probably because he was a longtime veteran of the customer business of customers.

"Oh, is that so? Come to think of it, I think I look like the one who came with that flashy dark elf girl yesterday... sorry, that one had a stronger impression."

　He was such a misguided clerk, but it was only natural that Marina would have a stronger impression when she saw Ray in a dragon robe and hooded, and Marina in a party dress.
　...with the hood off, Ray would have been quite impressive.
　Whether she noticed the clerk or not, Vihela looks at Ray and opens her mouth.

"Well, let's take a look at it. There might be something interesting about it."
"I don't think there are many things that pretty girls like."

　Ray suddenly remembers that the clerk had just mentioned Marina as well as a daughter when he saw her flattering -- not necessarily flattering -- Vihela.

(You can tell by looking at Marina's dark elf, so are you saying it intentionally?)

　It's close to common sense that dark elves have far longer lives than others.
　Moreover, Marina is not an old girl, but a mature adult woman.
　Of course I should have known that his age is much higher than that of the clerk.

"Look, Ray. Don't you think this is a little pretty?"

　Vihela says, looking at a small box in the store that was probably for a small case.
　The accessory case, decorated with colored stones instead of jewels, looks pretty fine.

"Well... shall I buy a hair ornament for the marina?"
"No, I don't mind. I don't know where to put it. Just looking at it is enough to satisfy me."

　When I say that, I look around the store.
　However, the shop itself was not that big, so I finished looking at it right away.
　Eventually, I buy a cloth bag with the scent of flowers and leave the shop.

"Now, where are you going next?"
"Well, yeah... no matter where you say you're going, I don't know what kind of place there is in this city. It would be more interesting if there was a stadium."
"What do you expect from Goltz?"

　The arena was a Vihela request.
　...but the request is not to see him fighting in the arena, but to see him fight in the arena.
　But of course there shouldn't be a stadium like Goltz.
　Well, if Goltz had a stadium, it would certainly have flourished even more.
　However, there is no doubt that a tremendous amount of money will be required to build a stadium, and once the stadium is completed, the question of whether the stadium can be run well or not is raised.
　The number of players fighting in the arena, in particular, must be collected -- with quality -- and if they were asked if they could imitate it in the golz... it would be difficult.

"I can't help it. Then let's just take a look around. I'm sure there's a place where it's interesting."

　Was the arena a joke for Vihela... or was it a light topic to be played on, but it certainly saved her not to get involved in the arena?

"It's a rather interesting place to go... to the library?"
"Lee Ya".

　They don't hate it, but they don't like it when they go out of their way to separate it.
　Since she was a princess of the former Vestian Empire, she must have done the act of reading a book accordingly, but I think Ray, who likes to read a book, thinks it's a waste.

"Shall we go and see some magic items? I don't think there's anything that great to find."

　This is a rural goltz, let alone a remote area like Gilm or a labyrinthine city.
　The dungeon was close by, but since the first ones who entered the dungeon captured it, there was no way we could expect it to be magic item.

"Well, let's take a look. Maybe there's something interesting."

　That's what Ray and Vichela said, heading to a store selling magic items.
