I kept flying on Seto's back for a few days.
　Eventually, seeing Subursta, then Abuero, and finally Gilm, makes Ray feel like he is back.
　Actually, it's not like he's been away from Gilm for a long time, but this time too... yes, maybe because he's really in trouble, Ray feels like he's been away from Gilm for a long time.
　Ray was looking at the guillem with nostalgia, but he could see many people working in the building extension.
　But... it's not an extension. It's an extension.

"Monster!"

　Yes, as Ray said, there was a battle between monsters and those who thought they were adventurers at the site of the extensions.
　Ray was in a moment's rush about it, but if you look closely... you don't have to look carefully, you can see that adventurers are unilaterally superior.
　Originally, adventurers in Gilm are stronger than those in other cities.
　In addition, Ray looked again at the battlefield, where the adventurers were fighting a herd of Kobolt.
　Cobold is a fairly weak monster, if not as much as a goblin, and for most adventurers in Gilm, it is equivalent to a small fish.
　Such cobolts, even herdsmen, could not have fought head-on against the adventurers of Gilm.
　While relieved of this, Ray doubts.
　Why would a herd of covolts go out of their way to attack Gillum.
　Cobold is stronger and smarter than goblins.
　Why is that Cobold doing this to Gilmoo, who will never win even if he fights head on?
　That bothered Ray.

"Well, it's no use thinking here. Set, get down to the front gate."
"Glu?"

　Ray caresses Seto, who cries out if he doesn't have to go to help.

"Even if you look at it like this, you won't have to go out of your way to force us into it."

　Ray has also been told not to go down directly into the city from above.
　If this were a disadvantage to the fighting adventurers, it would be safe to descend from the sky all at once, but... if you do so in these circumstances, there is no doubt that you will find many things unsavory.
　Moreover, under such overwhelming circumstances, it could be said that they had their prey stolen.
　With that in mind, it was clear that we should return here at the main gate as usual.

"And there's a set basket, isn't there? ... Well, if you drop the set basket where there's only a cobolt, you're sure to do a lot of damage to the covold."

　After all that explanation, Seto purges convincingly at Ray's words and descends towards the earth.
　While Ray was observing, thinking, and talking to Seth, naturally Seth was flying, and he had already come close to Gillum.
　Then Seto drops the basket not far from the main gate.
　Originally... from spring to autumn, if you do this, you'll be warned by the guards.
　But now it's winter and there are not many people passing by.
　In fact, no one was seen in front of the main gate.
　That's why I could say that I was able to do this kind of course.
　Putting the casket down to the ground, Seto prepares himself to go down to the ground.
　Just at that moment Elena and Arra, and Yero and one of them appear from the set basket and approach the Reyes.

"We've finally arrived... but don't you feel any strange air from Gilm?"

　Elena's specialty is that she has been on the battlefield for such a long time.

"Apparently, there is a flock of cobolts coming into the building. It was a battle from the sky."
"I see,"

　The reason why Elena doesn't ask if she doesn't have to go to the auxiliaries here is because she knows the power of the adventurers in Gillum.
　Arra knows it, so the three and the two head to the main gate without any particular panic.
　Naturally, he must have noticed the Ray's by pulling down the set basket. The guards immediately come out and respond.

"It was very late. I thought you'd be back a little earlier."

　As Ray proceeds to enter the city, a guard asks so.
　Ray had naturally become friends with the guards, as he had been in and out of the main gate many times and was also famous for his guillem.
　...there was also a reason why I was looking forward to serving Seto.
　In fact, some people who haven't gone through Elena or Arra's procedures have put a demon necklace on the set, and at the same time they've given him dried meat.
　Watching such a conversation, Ray hesitates about what to say.
　There were so many things going on: being entangled by aristocrats and targeted by assassins, mock battles with knights and soldiers serving them, bosses of the world's most powerful organization behind Anesis trying to release the sealed monster, and so on.
　I don't have enough time to explain all of them, and most importantly, it's not something I can talk about easily. That's why...

"There's been a lot of things,"

　I'll just answer that.
　But the guards don't ask any more if it's easy to imagine how much trouble Ray got involved in.
　I just nod at Ray with some kind of benevolence.
　Ray had some feelings for such guards, but now he has more to ask.

"And from the sky it seems to me that there was a big fight against a herd of covolts at the site of extension work, do you know what happened?"
"Oh... oh. It's just around the beginning of the new year. From that time on, a group of covolts has started to come in from places where they are doing extensions."

　The reason why the guards don't seem to be pressed, however, is probably because they understand that Cobold is not a big deal for adventurers in Gilm.
　Of course, there is a possibility of some difficulty if there are any superior or rare species of Cobold...so far, security personnel have not received such information.
　That's why he looked like this.
　Whether you see this as loose or believing in the strength of Gillum's adventurer may vary from person to person, but for the time being, Ray decides to be the latter.

"After the beginning of the new year, the adventurers will be dissatisfied."

　Essentially, adventurers take a long rest in the snowy winter.
　If you're an adventurer who can't save money by winter, you'll have to work through the winter, but most of the adventurers are essentially on extended vacations.
　Then, as they rested slowly, a swarm of cobolts burst upon them.
　Moreover, even if you knock it down, it's a low-ranked monster, so the materials, magical stones, and parts to prove the defeat are cheap.
　For an adventurer who came to Gilm and was able to save money for the winter, it would be troublesome to knock him down and strip him off.
　...however, for adventurers who have not been able to save money beyond the winter, there are some lucky ones who don't have to go out of the guillem to fight monsters, or who have been given some extra rewards by guilds for invading the city.
　However, even though Kobolt's invasion is being prevented by extensions, it is true that monsters are invading the city.
　You can't say you're lucky for that, though.

"Well, there are not many people who live in Guilm who are dissatisfied because there are no covolts coming to the area where people live."

　The inhabitants of Gilm understand the fact that they live on the frontier.
　Not everyone is certain, so some people are frustrated or apprehensive about the Cobold's coming...most of them have either come to Gilm in the last few years or come for this extension.
　A frontier is easier than any other village, town, or city to make money by getting access to very rare materials, magic items using them, and so on... because it's just a frontier.
　In other words, it would be the best of high risk and high return.
　Since most of them live in Gilm with that in mind, there is no way to complain in this situation.
　Of course, that's only because all the covolts have been knocked down near the extension work site.
　If they fail to defeat Cobold, some will knowingly complain.

"I see. I was thinking about going there at first, but I didn't seem to have to worry about it. I came here honestly... I guess I was right."
"It's helpful for us to do so, too. Thanks to you, we don't have to go through any complicated procedures. ... All right, we're done. We can go in."

　At the word of the guard, Rey and his men enter the guillem.
　Naturally, there are few people near the main gate.
　Still, some people could normally have been there, but today, perhaps by accident, no one was seen.

(Is there anything to do with the Cobold case?)If you've been living in Guillum for many years, this may not be such an upsetting thing, but if you're just in Guillum for some reason, including extension work, it's no surprise that you want to escape from a place where you're attacked by monsters attack you.
　However, I felt this way only on the side of the main gate, where Ray's familiar sights spread out.

"Ray, I'm sorry, but I'm coming to see you, Mr. Dusker. I don't necessarily see you soon."

　As Elena, who is sent to prevent aristocrats from making strange imitations of Gillum's extensions, she has returned to Gillum and must report to the Dusker governing the area.
　Ray knows that, so he nods...

"What should I do? Should I go?"
"No, there's no need for Ray to come. I'll let Dusker know about him.
"Really? I'm sorry, I went out of my way."

　If this were normal, you might be worried that something strange would happen to Dusker when he.
　But if the other person is Elena, you don't have to worry about doing such a thing, and you can ask for it with peace of mind.

"You don't have to worry. You know... you're on Ray's side with me."

　He blushed his cheeks and said so, looking away, perhaps because she feels a little embarrassed when she says it herself.
　At Elena's appearance, Ray looked away, perhaps because he was slightly embarrassed.
　So I realized that the children who usually come together with Seto were obviously few.

(Is this also influenced by Cobold as it was in front of the main gate? ...Well, it's amazing in a way that there are many people who want to play with Seto even in this situation.)

　Ray was around him, young and old.
　Since Seto is treated like a mascot of Guillum, many of them must have been disappointed that he had not been there for a while.

"Slurrurling.

　Eat the skewer that was offered and let out a happy voice.
　Even in this cold weather... well, perhaps because of the cold weather, the freshly baked skewers were excellent.
　Watching such a skewer, Ray suddenly remembers Georgima.
　After all, Georgima's ramen was different from what Ray remembered.
　Even so, the food was delicious enough, so he said he would improve the quality of the food and improve it.
　I've been saying that... what worries Ray is that he's going to eventually come to Gilmoo and let him eat ramen and say it's delicious.
　I think I was jokingly saying this, but given Georgima's personality... he could have made a surprise appearance in the guillem eventually.

(I don't think it would be a great disturbance in the Duke of Quevel, if that were to be the case... well, I'll think about it later.)

　Leaving all the trouble behind, Ray approached Sett, who was swarming with people.
