There's someone looking at me.
　At Ray's words, Blueit looks sharp and looks around him.
　...the blues he usually didn't look so stern, but now he's got a sharp look at his opponent.
　That's enough to make me think that children are going to cry when they see it today.
　But it's inevitable that Blueit will look like that.
　Originally a blue-it who was confident in his power, he didn't realize at all that he was being watched until Ray told him.
　If you had been attacked by the main person in your eyes in this situation, there is a high possibility that you would not have been able to respond.
　That's why Blueit's eyes have sharpened.

"Don't worry. I felt this look before the mock war. In other words, the owner of this look is interested in me, not you."

　Nevertheless, Ray frowns slightly at the eerie gaze that still leaves him with no hostility.
　If this makes you feel like you're killing me, I can understand that Ray is such an enemy.
　However, there is no emotion of that kind in the current gaze.
　It's just that you're being looked at.

"...are you all right?"

　Blueit was a little relieved to know that he wasn't against him, but he couldn't be so easily pleased to know that his gaze was directed at Ray.
　I know Ray is stronger than I am, but I don't know if I can do anything about someone who doesn't notice my gaze.

(Ray and Sett noticed the eyes that didn't notice me, so it might be even at worst...)

　Blueit has reasonable confidence in his strength.
　As a nobleman, he has survived many battles by fighting on the front lines of the battlefield, and it is not uncommon for him to fight around the city like he did when he met Ray.
　He believed that he was definitely stronger than a man who had just become an adventurer, that he had a better chance of winning against a veteran adventurer, and that he would not lose so easily against what he called a top adventurer.
　When it comes to looking at me like that I didn't notice, the person I've been looking at is definitely stronger than me.

"For the time being, I want to think it's okay. I don't know exactly who's the main person in that line of sight, but I'm not going to lose so easily to anyone."

　Ray was easy to say, but in fact, if he was really a hopeless opponent, he had the option of getting away with the worst possible set.
　Alternatively, you could ride a set and attack from above unilaterally.

(If I and Sett were together, we would hardly lose, whether it be the Lord of this eye or not.)

　That's how Ray enjoys the taste of the remaining soup.

"Gruly!"

　Unlike Ray, Seto had already finished his soup and could afford to ask for a second helping.
　Although Ray understood Sett's demands, he didn't let him have another.

"I'm going to go around the other stalls, so let's leave them alone. I don't think I'll be full."

　Ray also eats quite a bit, but of course he eats more often than Ray when his body size is different.
　At least, it's unlikely that you're too full to eat any more.
　Ray understood that, but if we stayed in front of the soup stand for a long time, people around us would be looking at us very hard.

"Guru..."

　Seth purring regretfully at Ray's words.
　Just at that time, Blue It finishes his soup.

"Well, what shall I do? Which stall shall I go to next?"

　What came out of Blueit's mouth was an unexpected remark for Ray, too.
　It was because I was afraid I would act differently from myself here.

"Are you okay? You might be able to catch my eye, too.
"Oh, I don't mind. I'm sure you've already seen him with you, so it's more dangerous to move away from him here."
"I can't deny that,"

　While nodding to Blueit's words, Ray expected that perhaps the master of that gaze would not attack Blueit.

(If you're going to target me, as a hostage to lure me? No, but it's probably Geiska who's going to target me. If that happens, I'm afraid I'll attack the nobles.")

　for he looked condescendingly and spoke to Arra, the third daughter of the Earl of Scarley.
　However, this time I'm not targeting Gaiska, but rather Gaiska's men... or Gaiska's man.
　So Ray decided that unrelated blues were unlikely to be targeted.
　That's why I'm concerned that if we continue to act together, we'll get involved in the actions of the Lord of the line of sight.

"Here we go, Ray. And Seto, too. That stall over there smells savory, so that's the next one!"

　As Blueit says so, he pulls Ray and starts walking toward a stall with an appetizing scent.
　Ray tried to say something to such a bluit, but the smile on his face made him look stupid.

"All right. All right, so wait a minute. You'll have to return the soup dishes first."

　Ray has enough money to ignore for the difference in soup prices.
　Especially considering the amount I received from Miranda, there's enough money to buy a pot of soup for sale at a stall.
　Many people were looking forward to the soup, so I didn't mean to imitate it like that way.
　While suppressing the bluit of wanting to move on to the next stall, I get my share back and head to another stall.
　On the Blue It side, even Seto was clamoring to go to the next stall together.
　Then Ray moves on to the next stall, trying to be pulled by one by one by one.
　Ray's interest in the savory, appetizing smell is also stimulating smell.

(Fish? That's unusual.)

　The food carts are prepared with fish that Ray has never seen before.
　I felt a little like a carp, but there are many differences in details.
　The owner of a stall cuts the fish clean with a knife, wraps it in the leaves of a plant with seasonings, and grills it over a charcoal fire.
　Although it was only that much of a cooking method, there is an appetizing scent around it.

(What? I can't describe exactly what it smells like, but I'm sure you'll get hungry just by smelling it.)

　However, despite its appetizing aroma, there are few customers lining up in stalls.
　It's not that I'm out, but the queue was clearly smaller than the soup stand I had just seen.

"Why do you have so few customers when it looks so delicious?"
"Huh? Oh, don't you know Ray? He's a joolf fish, and he's a pretty high-class fish. The leaves wrapped in him are also very herbal leaves to catch this season. They're using them, so the price of each fish is really high."
"Jolf... the fish I've never heard of."
"Well, I guess. It's a strange way of saying that there aren't that many places to live, and that between spring and summer it's hibernation... but it's basically a strange fish that only moves in autumn and winter."
"...that's just a strange fish,"

　As Ray knows, many fish become active in spring and summer.
　No, there are many fish in season in autumn and winter, so I can't say that in general.
　In particular, fish such as Hatahata, which Ray likes, deserve to be called the best season in winter.
　But... even such fish don't hibernate in spring or summer.
　At the very least, Ray would have known no such fish.
　Moreover, it looks like a carp, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable.

"Right? So the catch is small. It's got to be a pretty, pretty deep river. That's why it's expensive compared to meat and stuff. ... But as you can see from these lines, it's not a price that you can't buy."Interested in the words, Ray stands at the end of the procession with Sett.
　Naturally, Ray and Sett stand out there.
　The two men and women who stood in front of Ray, in particular, were even quite frightened by the fact that Seto... had a Gryphon behind them.
　Ray was going to say something to such a person for a moment, but it doesn't mean that everything he says gets less tense, and above all, he's just in line with the man and woman in front of him.
　That being the case, Ray continues to talk to Blueit, deciding that it's better to be quiet now than to say something here to make him even more nervous.

"And if Ray is here like this, he's going to attend the New Year's party, isn't he?"
"Well, that's why I went out of my way to measure my clothes... ...and I'm sure there would be a stir at the party."

　There's a case of Geiska, but that's not the only problem.
　Ray can easily imagine that there are many other aristocrats who don't care about themselves.

"I'll tell you, it's not just the aristocrats who think Ray's a nuisance,"
"What?"
"Think about it. Who doesn't find it interesting to see the neutral Ray get along with the aristocrats?"
"...the King's side?"
"Well, and there are other nobles besides the three major factions."

　When Ray was told that, he looked surprised.
　All the aristocrats I have met so far have been three major factions of aristocrats.
　Or maybe some other aristocrats, but Ray doesn't recognize it.

"Now that you mention it, are there any other nobles besides the three major factions?"
"Of course... well, look. It's our turn."

　While we're talking about the nobility, the line goes on, and eventually it's the Rey' turn.
　As Blueit said, Ray was charged a little more than other stalls, but for the time being, I bought about 30 of them all together because I had won a lot of money.
　They didn't buy up because there were still lines behind the lays.
　If you do something that you buy up here, it's probably because... you could almost certainly expect the people in line to be dissatisfied.
　After purchasing a large amount, leave the place.
　Unlike soup stalls, you don't have to return dishes here.
　So the Rays decide to enjoy their food a short distance from the stall.
　However, as long as there are prominent figures such as Seto and Blue It, I don't think we can escape people's gaze even if we are a little far away.
　Still, reassured by the slight drop in the number of eyes, Ray feeds Seto and immediately relishes the food he has in his hand.
　The first thing that spreads through your mouth is a refreshing scent similar to that of Aojiso.
　Next, Rey's taste of soft, greasy white meat entertained Rey'
　It's to please the taste of Jolfe's body. The seasonings in green perilla with Jolfe are not as strong a self-assertion.
　Enjoying the dishes that accentuate the taste of Jolfe, Ray gives a few more to Seto, who is finished in one bite... to savor the dishes.

"Jolf is a river fish, isn't he? And it's not that greasy, and it doesn't smell like mud... It's amazing."
"Oh, I guess you did a good job of removing the mud. ... Why are you so surprised?"

　The moment the mudman and Blueit say it, Ray's eye might have surprised him, but he looks back a little dissatisfied.

"No, I didn't expect the aristocrat Blue It to know anything like a mud-puller."

　In Ray's case, when he lived in Japan, he sometimes caught fish in rivers and marshes, or his father caught them or his acquaintances shared the fish he had caught.
　That's why I knew of the act of removing mud... but it must have been surprising that the aristocrat Blueit knew of such an act.
　Blueit smiles proudly at Ray, who misleads the story a little.

"I'm always on the streets. Of course I know that much of the common sense."
"...I don't think the next head of the nobility should do it."

　As he spoke, Ray smiled and tasted Jolfe's food with Seto and Blueit.
