When Ray finishes talking at the guard post, he goes out.
　Incidentally, the victim, the old woman, had already finished listening and had already returned from her post.
　The reason why the guards dared to put Ray off was probably because they thought that after a little time, Ray's head would cool down.
　Guillum, Ray's stronghold, nicknamed crimson, wrapped in red cloth and committed criminal acts... as well as robbers and thieves.
　There was no way Ray wouldn't be dissatisfied to see such a presence.
　The guards could understand the feeling, but if they pretended to let Ray out, who was bleeding, they would go around looking for people with red cloth around their arms.
　In fact, if Ray had left the station frustrated, it is undeniable that he might have acted like that.
　But at the discretion of the guards, Ray was, if not a little, less irritated.

"Grull?"

　Seto notices Ray coming out of the station and purrs happily.
　There were many men and women of all ages around him, fondling and feeding him.
　When Seth stands up because Ray is here, they don't stop Seth any longer and let him do whatever he wants.
　...though some of them looked regretful.

"First of all, let's take a walk around town. I've never seen that red-clad guy before. Maybe I've simply missed him.
"Gruly!"

　Seto's voice grates over Ray's words.
　Sett knows that walking around the city is to find people with that red cloth around their arms.
　But for Seto, being with Ray is the most enjoyable thing.
　Of course, I like to be loved by many different people, as I have just mentioned.
　Anyway, that's why Ray and Sett were walking about the city in random ways. . . . .

"Yes,"

　When Ray finds a stall selling meat buns, he exclaims in admiration.
　The stand selling the meat bun was a stand with Ray some time ago.
　However, it was those who used a nearby training ground that gave advice to stalls that sold meat buns that were neither tasty nor tasteless.
　The street stall used to sell such meat buns, but now it is not near the training ground, but on a busy street.
　Ray had heard for a while that the location of the stalls would be determined by popularity, sales order, and so on, but it was clear from the present location that the stalls were selling well.
　In fact, some customers are lined up, which is probably a sign.

"Is this really Goblin's meat!? I've eaten it when I first became an adventurer, but I couldn't eat it at all."
"Yes, it's really goblin meat. We get specially processed goblin meat from a Percy tool store and we use it."
"...so will the goblin meat taste good from now on?"
"Well, I'm afraid that's impossible. I heard that this goblin meat can be mass-produced in some way, but it's impossible to do that yet."
"Well, I'm sorry to say that if I could eat that goblin meat so deliciously, I would have saved the poor man who had just become an adventurer."

　That's what Ray hears, but he thinks it's too long before the flesh of the goblin spreads before the man he thinks is an adventurer says it.
　To be able to eat goblin meat...to be able to eat it deliciously, it takes several ingredients, mainly from the internal organs of the gamerion.
　The most problematic of these is probably the internal organs of the Gamerion.
　Monsters that only appear in autumn are so precious.
　If this had been a monster that would always turn up as frequently as a goblin, that would have been the way to mass-produce delicious goblin meat.

"You seem to be busy for now, and I don't have to say hello.
"Glu".

　Seto chokes a little regretfully at Ray's words.
　For Seto, the honest thing is that he wanted to eat a little bit of meat bun.
　Unlike previous meat buns, the taste is not so good that it can be described as delicious.

"I'll have some meat buns next time,"

　That being the case, it's about time to head with Elena to the Duke of Kerebel.
　If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to eat meat buns as a matter of course, but I had a feeling that I could eat meat buns even after I came back to Gilm at the beginning of the year.
　Ray's perception is that meat buns are eaten in cold seasons... in autumn and winter, and that awareness is spreading along with meat buns.
　Of course, I have no particular complaints about selling meat buns in spring or summer, but that was how Ray treated me, expressing his gratitude for spreading meat buns.
　However, this is because of the guillem where Ray is based, and if meat buns spread to other villages, towns, and cities, it would have been possible for shops to sell meat buns even in spring or summer.
　Even so, Ray had no intention of complaining.
　In the first place, eating meat buns in cold weather is simply Ray's taste.
　In fact, if you go to places like Chinatown, you'll find meat buns sold all year round, and it's not uncommon for people to buy them.
　...though I remember seeing Ray on TV before that if the temperature were to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, sales would fall.

"Well, I'll go somewhere else. I'll have to find those idiots right away. If they keep making such a fuss, I'll be in trouble."

　Ray calms down a little when he sees the meat bun stand flourishing.
　Those who still ostentatiously wore red cloth around their arms could not be forgiven, but they were still not in the mood of being killed, searching and destroyed.
　That said, I had no intention of choosing to overlook those wrapped in red cloth.
　Still, I was going to kill about eighty percent of the time, but I was so calm that I was going to forgive him for half‐killing.

"Oh, not Ray. What's the matter?"

　As I walk around the city, I get approached like that.
　In the voice were the figures of Vihela and Bune, and some other adventurers.

"A little search ... no, look for the seeker. Would you rather look around?"
"Yes. There seems to be a lot of trouble."
"...is there any trouble, by any chance, involving a man with a red cloth around his arm?"
"Red cloth?"

　At Rey's words, Vihela tries to remember something... and eventually nods back.

"Come to think of it, there was a man like that when there was a fight. What's the matter with that?"

　Ray feels uncomfortable with the unexpectedly simple words.
　It was because there was no particular dissatisfaction in Vihela's tone.
　If Ray had seen a man with a red cloth snatching as he had seen, he would not speak in this tone, albeit not very much.
　Vichela likes to fight, but she never likes anyone who tries to steal something from a weak opponent.
　a consequently uncomfortable feeling

"Fight? How was the man in the red cloth?"
"No matter what you say... I told them to stop fighting, they stopped right away. They apologized for causing us trouble, too.
"...a man in red cloth?"
"Yes,"

　a simple nod to Ray's words
　When Ray sees it, he doubts again.
　Not very much, but Ray said... that he was too different from the one that Sett had knocked down.

(I mean... did he know that Vihela was my companion, and apologized immediately?"）

　It is widely known in Gilm that Ray and Vihela are forming a party.
　And Vichela, who is extremely beautiful and dressed in light clothing like that worn by prostitutes and dancers, recognizes at a glance that she is Vichela.
　With that in mind, it was well conceived to recognize Vihela as Ray's companion and to apologize honestly so that she could not be looked at.

(So, is that red cloth for me after all? ...but why? I'm not saying that I don't have a grudge against anyone.)

　Far from incurring resentment, considering what Ray has done so far, there will be many who have a grudge against him.He used force without hesitation against aristocrats, killed many robbers and sold them off as criminal slaves, and in the war many people were killed by Ray and Sett.
　Others have a grudge against Ray for various reasons.
　For such people, Ray would be unwelcome.
　However, as long as you have experienced it yourself, there are not many people who can imitate Ray.

"What's the matter?"
"Well... I'm a little curious about him wrapping up a red cloth."

　In response to Vihela's question, Ray explains that the old woman was about to be snatched, and that Seto prevented it.




"I see. I don't think it's anything to do with the person who was fighting and the person who was beaten up by Seto, because he's got a red cloth all the way around his arm."
"Yes,"

　It wasn't Ray... but Bune that agreed with Vichela's words.
　It was quite surprising to Ray that Bune would assert himself here.
　No, it's not just Ray, but the other adventurers who worked with Viehra and Bune are also looking at Bune in amazement.

"Well... why did you agree with Vihela?"

　Rey asks Vihela, overwhelmed by the expectations of others.
　Ray has known Bune for a long time, but he still can't imitate what Bune wants to say as much as Vihela.
　...and yet, to some extent, I really understand it.

"It's only natural that there's someone wrapped in a red cloth."
"Well, I suppose you understood it the same way as me, anyway. If anyone finds a red cloth, let me know."

　As for Bune's judgment, I decide that there will be no particular point in thinking here, and I will not think any further.
　I don't think it would be better to understand Bune's words and actions a little more... unfortunately, now I have something to do before I think about it.
　Vichela wouldn't force herself to continue here, wondering if she understood Ray's feelings.

"Yes, I'll let you know as soon as I find it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"That's fine with me. ... Ah."

　After answering Vihela's words, Ray suddenly realizes.
　Instead of having to find someone with a red cloth like this, I thought I should have heard the news from that man, who had been knocked unconscious by the old woman when she was trying to snatch him.
　The fact that he didn't notice such a simple thing was that he had blood on his head.
　I forgot all about it in my blood, and I couldn't remember it when I settled down a little in the station.

"What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. I think I was bleeding more than I thought. I think I could have gotten information about the red cloths more easily."
"Yes. ... but be careful?"

　It was Ray who at first thought he was joking or something, but as far as Vihela's expression is concerned, it's not a joke, it's a serious expression.

"Do you think I'm going to lose to that kind of people?"
"I don't think so. But it's the same over there, right? No way, you're never going to think we'll be able to fight Ray head on. But he's openly provoking Ray. I mean, I think he's up to something."
"...if you say so, is it possible?"

　If anyone knew anything about it, they wouldn't fight Ray head on, as Vihela said.
　Nevertheless, there was no doubt that he had some idea of doing this.

"Well, you'd better be careful."

　Ray would say thank you to Vihela.
