"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

　After spotting the golts ahead of his eyes, Seto chants to let Ray know on his back.
　At the sound of Seto, Ray saw the earth... and only a little later realized that it was a goltz.
　It's already night, and the sky has only the moon and stars hidden in the clouds.
　Since Goltz is also the most prosperous city in the area, there are still some lights even at night.
　Sett found the light... and a little later Ray, too.

"Ah... it ended up being night. If I hadn't looked for the thief, I think I could have come back a little earlier."
"Guru..."

　After hearing Ray's words, Seto chants comfortingly.
　If you had found the thief, what would you have done?
　Unfortunately, though... the Rays couldn't find the thief.
　It's only natural. If you know there's a thief somewhere, you can easily find it with Ray or Sett's ability.
　But from Sommis to Goltz... even Sett doesn't know where the thief is, within a few hours' distance.
　Moreover, it was only natural that it would be difficult to find a thief in a short time, as long as there was no time to look for it.
　So now that it's this time of day, Ray's prediction is that in the worst case, he's not sure if he'll get into the golts...
　But Ray's magic tent was inside the mystery ring, so there was absolutely no problem staying in the open air.
　However, I wanted to give the special portions that I had brought from Somis today if possible.

"Then don't ask,"
"Slurrurling.

　Seto flaps his wings down toward the approaching golts.
　It's already night and nobody is walking down the road.
　Even without something like a street lamp, Seto's eyesight would have been able to see the state of the road firmly by the moonlight falling through the clouds.
　Originally, he has night vision, so Seto and... and Ray get off on the road near Goltz without any problems.
　But if he did so, of course, he would have noticed the guards on guard... and even Ray could see that he was obviously on guard.
　If you keep getting close like this, you'll find a lot.
　Thinking so, Ray opens his mouth, waving his hand wide so that the guards can see it.

"It's me, Ray! I've been out for a while, but I'm back! Put me in the city if possible! Even if that's impossible, I want you to deliver the parts that you brought at the request of the magic item store!"

　You must have heard Ray's voice. The guards standing on the wall seemed to calm down, albeit slightly.
　Relieved by this, Ray approaches the main gate of Goltz.
　Then a small door opened for the guard near the main gate... but there was no sign of the guard coming out.
　Ray wonders about it, but eventually he is approached through a gap in the door with fear.

"Is it really Ray?"
"Who else do you see except me? And, you know, there's Seto."
"Gruly!"

　Seto chants at Ray's words.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　But for the inhabitants of Goltz, Seto is their benefactor -- a monster -- who captured the nearby dungeon.
　Also, because the set is moving around in the goltz in its own way, you can't say that you love it like a guillem, but you don't scream at it.
　There were a lot of big things behind the door... that really made the guards feel relieved when they saw Ray and Sett through a gap in the shield that could hide the human body.

"It's Ray and Set."
"Oh, that's great. I thought you might be a thief or a monster."
"Me and me,"

　While the guards are talking like that, a guard comes out of the door.

"Usually you can't get in the city at this time of day. It's a different story. Come in."
"That's a relief. ... But is that OK? I was thinking of sleeping in the open air."

　Ray's words give the guards a subtle look, not knowing what to say.

"Well, the dungeon near the Goltz... is also the benefactor who captured the dungeon with a monster so powerful that I don't think it's just made of it, and he'll be forced to sleep outside the city."

　What would the city dwellers do if they did so...the words of the guard seemed to Ray to be not a joke, but a serious one.
　Ray doesn't want to force himself to sleep in the open air either.
　If you can sleep on the bed of an inn, it's no better than that, so you can go in through the guard door.
　...By the way, the set was not able to enter in the same size, but if it became smaller with the skill of resizing, I managed to enter and didn't have to open the main gate.
　I was surprised by the sudden size of the set, but if you show that it's a rare species, there's no pursuit.
　Is it right that it is not impossible to pursue, but that if you say that it is a rare species, you will be convinced that it is so?
　In fact, it's definitely not wrong, considering it's called a rare species because it can do things that ordinary monsters can't do.
　However, if you were more powerful, you might not have been convinced by the term "rare species" when you see a set that uses the skill of downsizing.
　Anyway, Ray and Sett go through the process of getting into the Goltz without any problems.

"And what are you going to do with Ray now.

　At such a guard's word, Ray says what he has to do, caressing Seto with a demon necklace.

"First of all, you're a magic item store. I'm going to deliver the portion because I brought it."
"I see. Do you need guidance?"
"No, I remember the location of the shop, so I don't have a problem. ... And I don't think there's a fool who's going to get involved with me in golts."

　Ray's capture of the dungeon is, of course, known for its golts.
　What's more, they were dismantling monsters like Galangiga and Kelpey that had been knocked down in the dungeon right next to the main gate.
　The boss monster Galangiga, in particular, has never been seen before by the inhabitants of the Golz...or even by the adventurers of the Golz.
　Only suicide candidates would think of getting involved with someone who has the power to defeat such monsters.
　Ray, however, could be underestimated for his dragon lobe and physique, but now Ray is with Sett.
　With Gryphon, no one would think Ray was Ray.
　The guards don't act like they're holding him back, either, knowing it.
　Leaving the guard, Ray heads to the Magic Item Shop with Seto.

"Grull".

　Seto chokes at the appetizing scent that comes from the stall.
　Ray was also as hungry as Seto.

"Somis's food wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good. ... Well, since you bought it for me in that short time, it might be unavoidable."
"Guru..."

　Ray's words make Seto cry regretfully.
　If I had had more time, I could have eaten a variety of delicious dishes.
　However, in this particular case, there was no time.
　For that reason, it's fair to say that it was a shame that we couldn't eat the delicious food of Sommis.

(If I have a chance, I can go again... I mean, I don't have any business going to Somis anymore.)

　Somis is a rather large city, but that's all it takes to say.
　There are many other cities of similar size, so you don't have to go all the way to Somis.
　As for the special portion that gave me the reason for going to Somis this time, I can't make it because the alchemists in Goltz are inexperienced and there may be many people in other towns who have the skills to manage it.
　Especially in Gilm, where Ray is based, many alchemists gather in search of unknown materials.Then surely there should be an alchemist who could make the potions in question.

"Well, that's all right now. I should go to the magic store earlier than that."

　Nevertheless, they buy bread sold at a nearby stall and share it with Seto.
　There are nuts in the bread that resemble walnuts, and they are not freshly baked, but the rich taste and texture of the nuts enhance the deliciousness of the bread.
　It was only natural for Ray that he wanted to eat the bread fresh from the oven if possible.

"I see you now,"

　I put a few loaves of bread in my stomach and Seto finished about twice as much as Ray... and when I was a little hungry, I could see the place I wanted.
　Other shops are already closed at this time of year, as it should have been.
　But... fortunately, I understood that the magic item store Ray and his team were aiming for was still open.
　The reason is that the lights were still on in the store.
　Ray is relieved to see it.
　I'm glad I came back like this, but actually I was wondering what I would do if the store had already closed.
　In that case, that's what I needed to come to this magic shop early tomorrow morning... before I left the Goltz.
　Of course it doesn't matter how much effort it takes, but if you say it's troublesome or troublesome, it's definitely troublesome.
　Then it's only natural that you want to hand over the portion now.
　What's more, the man's younger sister, who wants the part, is still suffering from illness.
　To be honest, if for some reason you're in a hurry, there's no time to worry about strangers.
　However, if someone who has already known the situation is told that he is struggling to do something about it... if he ignores it, there is no doubt that he will have a bad aftertaste.
　That being the case, Ray couldn't choose to leave it alone.
　However, if the person who was suffering had ordered him to stay high, it would have been Ray's characteristic.

"Anyway, I brought it with me. Don't you have to waste your time here?"

　Mumbling briefly, Ray tells Sett that he is still eating the leftover bread and enters the magic store.
　The moment I hear the door open, I see a man in the shop turning around.
　It goes without saying who turned around.
　It's not a magic shop clerk... it's an adventurer waiting for a special part to cure my sister's illness.

"Oh... oh... oh, oh, oh, oh!

　First he looked at Ray, muttered incredulously, then checked to see if it was real, and finally convinced that it was real, he cried out.
　The clerk looked at him dumbfoundedly... and somehow Vichela, who was inside the shop, waved to Ray with a big smile.

"Vihela? Why are you here?"

　Leaving the screaming adventurer alone, Ray asks Vihela.
　It's been a long time since Ray and Vihela came to this store together.
　That being the case, I don't think Vihela would still be in this store.
　But when asked so, Vihela opens her mouth with a smile.

"Oh, because today is my date with Ray, right? Then it's only natural that we'll be together when we go back to the inn."

　That means Vichela has been in the store ever since Ray left for Somis.

"Well, I came back to this shop a little while ago."

　I don't know what to say by Vihela's words, Ray...
　Should I thank you for waiting for me, or should I warn you that it will cause trouble to the store?
　I don't know what to do... Eventually Ray smiles and opens his mouth as if he were misleading.

"I'm home,"
"Welcome home,"
