Early in the morning, the day after he tasted the deliciousness of Giant Turtle's meat, Ray was in the same place as yesterday... outside the guillem.
　However, there are many differences from yesterday.
　It was clearly a large number of people who came to dismantle the gigant turtles.
　It's still early in the morning and the sun is completely out of sight, and it's dim.
　Despite this situation, participants in the demolition of the Gigant Turtle are gathering here with great enthusiasm.
　Ray, however, could easily understand why this was the case.
　That's probably because of the gigant turtleneck we shared yesterday.
　Ray also tasted amazing yesterday, so others could have been captivated by how delicious it was.
　Naturally, those who have eaten such delicious meat will teach it to those around them, or some may have eaten it with them.
　This is probably the reason why the number of people who heard such stories or ate meat…and wanted to try the meat again or were asked to disassemble it.

"I'm happy that the number of people will increase, but... are you okay with the covolts? I don't think I'll be able to deal with them if I just increase the number of people."

　Ray asks a nearby guild official.
　The guild official smiled at Ray's words and opened his mouth.

"That's all right, for there are many adventurers who think it's easier to make money by knocking down more cobolts on their own than by eating the meat of Giant Turtle. ... But I don't know what will happen when buying the meat of the Giant Turtle at a high price."
"I don't know if there's anyone to sell,"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　Guild officials say there are definitely more guild workers around them than there were yesterday.
　I've heard that there are many things busy due to the Cobold, but I could still see how many guilds there were to be able to get this many people.

(though the guild will be busier than usual, as many people have been here.)

　For a moment I imagined Lenora and Kenny's reproachful expressions, but for the moment I decide that it's better not to think about them, and I forget them intentionally.

"That would help me, though yesterday's fool was the only one caught in front of me, and I can't rule out the possibility that some of the people who ate that meat might think strange things."
"Grunt? Grunt!"

　Listening to Ray and the guild staff nearby, Seto whispers discontentedly.
　It was not only Ray who ate the meat of the Giant Turtle yesterday, but also Seto.
　Naturally, the taste of the meat left a strong impression on Seto, and it was only natural for Seto to get angry when he heard that anyone might want to steal it.
　There is a considerable appetite in the set.
　For that reason, we can say that this Seto's attitude is natural.

"Look, calm down. Everyone knows that Seto will never forgive you if you act like stealing meat."

　Ray calms Seto down, caressing him on the head.
　In fact, since we could hear the current interaction between Ray and the guild staff and the people who heard Sett's groan looked nervous, Sett's groan could not have been more effective in terms of deterrence.

"Anyway, if you do your job well, I'll be saved and I'll have no complaints. I can trust you with peace of mind."

　If this is someone you have little contact with, Ray wouldn't be able to leave it to you with so much peace of course.
　But Ray, who has a strong trust from Dusker and is partying with Marina, a notorious, high-ranking adventurer and former guildmaster, is a tough match for the current guildmaster, too.
　In dismantling such Ray's property, the gigant turtleneck, it would never be acceptable for the person doing it to steal it.
　That's why Ray can decide that there's no problem getting away from this.
　but Vihela, Bune, and...

"Come to think of it, I don't know how long it will be, but Elena and Arra said they would come to see the gigant turtleneck dismantled. If they come, please deal with them."
"...what?"

　After a few seconds of silence, the guild mumble to Ray's words.
　Elena and Arra. As guild officials, they knew of course who the man Ray spoke of.
　If only one of them is the other, it's safe to assume that they're different people with the same name.
　But if the two names are the same, who are they?"There was no doubt that it was Elena, the princess general, and her confidant Aara.
　Guild officials will not be able to accumulate the name of Elena, who is not only famous for her guild, but also for the entire kingdom of Mileana... no, not only for her neighbors, but also for faraway countries.
　I knew Elena was staying in Gillum, and I heard rumors that she was in a friendly -- or, on the contrary, a male-female -- relationship with Ray.
　Knowing them, the guild staff wanted to be excused if possible.
　However, there is no point in saying anything under the current circumstances, and it is also true that the client has been told to respond to Ray's request as much as possible.
　And, most importantly, the guild officials showed no decisive reluctance because they knew Elena was not a tyrannical nobleman.
　The guillem is ruled by Dusker, who leads the neutral faction, but it is not unusual for him to be a nobleman with an autocratic attitude.
　A person who does not take such an attitude when dealing with nobles, but who acts tyrannically when dealing with commoners.
　Or, in a way that is more tyrannical to a person whose peerage is lower than that of his own.
　Also, although it is very rare, there is no one who would rush at a noble who was a higher rank than himself.
　The fact that Elena was not such a nobleman was a great pleasure to the guild staff who would be in contact with the person.

"All right. We will deal with Mr. Elena very well, and those who are dismantling her will be happy if he comes to the scene in person."

　It was an unerring fact.
　The nickname of General Hime is also widely known in this guillem.
　There are many other nicknames in Gilm, including Ray, but the nickname of General Hime is still more widely known than them.
　Also, the fact that Elena has the beauty of being able to see her once in her lifetime will raise the morale of those who are dismantling her here.
　It's not just men, but women who are dismantling, but Elena's beauty cannot even be said to be jealous, it's just fascinating.
　...though the guild staff might have been happy with Ray's words if they had not had to be rude to him.
　Nevertheless, it was undoubtedly a matter of great help to the guild staff that it was Elena, not the tyrannical aristocrat who came.
　If this is going to be a tyrannical aristocrat, send in the meat of the gigant turtleneck, or the ingredients, or all of it.
　If you don't give me such unreasonable orders, I won't be able to.

"I asked, though it will be a little later that the Elenas will actually come. ... Oh, and Marina, Vihela, Bune, and so on, so if you come, please deal with them."
"Yes,"

　Guild officials may have hardened because among the names Ray casually uttered was Marina, the former guildmaster.
　Vichela and Bune came yesterday, so it's no surprise to hear that they're coming today.
　But if Marina is among them, it's a different story is different.
　The current guildmaster is a worker, but Marina, who has been the guildmaster for many years, still has a strong influence.
　The guild staff must have been surprised to hear that Marina was coming here because she had helped her a lot.
　Ray then pats his shoulder to such guild officials for asking, and returns to the guild with Sett, who still wants to stay here and watch for anyone stealing Giant Turtle's meat.
　The guild staff looked at Ray's back with a little bit of a grudge... first of all, they thought it was necessary to keep his job in order, and then they wondered if there was any problem with the dismantling of the Giant Turtle.





"Well... there are fewer people than yesterday, after all. The adventurers love it."

　Beyond Ray's muttering gaze are adventurers fighting against Kobolt.
　As it said, the increasing number of Kobolt defeats had made money-strapped adventurers very happy.
　...in fact, the intelligent switched to dismantling because they thought selling Gigant Turtle meat would be more money than knocking down the cobold, and the people here are either ignorant of information or simply intended to move.

"Glu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu?"

　Seto chants at Ray, "Why are you here again today?"
　We've already looked at most of the places that could be looked up yesterday, as we're doing extensions here.
　That being the case, it didn't seem to Seto that he could find any clues here again today.
　Ray opens his mouth, caressing Seto on the head."I don't mean to say that it's a hundred times on the ground, but as long as the Cobolt is actually attacking here, the only way is to investigate it."

　What Ray is looking for is a magic item that makes Kobolt carry out an attack.
　I don't know if it's really done with magic items, even Ray. No, I looked here yesterday and found nothing, so I don't think it's likely.
　However, the search for magic items originally included a half-time-losing meaning, so for the time being, it was an act of trying not to think about the situation.
　Perhaps because Ray understood, Seto purges and rubs his face more caressingly.
　As he caresses Seto on the head, Ray wonders how to find a place to explore today.

(In yesterday's case, it's almost certain that it's not a smell or sound factor, but... then there's really no clue. Do you want to look for it in the sense that you earn money on your feet? In some cases, you might find something else.)

　Deciding so, Ray and Sett visit the site of the extension.
　The adventurers who were trying to subdue Cobold look at Ray and Sett, who continued to show up yesterday.
　While they are fighting against Cobold to make money, Ray is just walking around with Seto.
　If Ray is in a low-ranking adventurer's shoes, he could be shouting at her not to disturb her.
　However, it was impossible for them to imitate Ray, who was notorious, and as a result, they were basically just doing what they had to do without mentioning Ray's existence.

"Well... do you think there's anything around here?"

　Ray asked Seto looking at the building materials, but all he got back was a shake of his head.
　No matter how much set you may have, you can't pretend to find it if you don't have anything there's nothing there.
　As Set looks like that, Ray moves to another place.
　Just in case, Ray was also making a little detour, taking care not to disturb those who were fighting against Cobold.
　And while I was looking for various things...

`Oh, my God!'

　Suddenly, Ray heard what appeared to be a woman's scream.
