"Well... I'll be back in a minutely.

　Suu Kyi bowed to the guild staff and headed for the slum with her fellow slums... and a bodyguard adventurer prepared by the guild staff.
　After seeing it off, Ray opens his mouth as he looks at the guild staff happily seeing off Suu Kyi next to him.

"You did it well,"

　Guild officials smile a little shy of Ray's words.
　The various words spoken by guild officials at the demolition site of the Giant Turtle were enough to win over the hearts of the slums, including Suu Kyi.
　As a result, the consultation ended in no time while Ray kept the gigant turtleneck in the mistling, and most of them accepted the guild's proposal.
　...some of them are confident in their own arms or don't want to leave the slums, although they have chosen to live in the slums as before, even though they will participate in the demolition of the gigant turtles.
　Guild officials returned to the guild and went through the procedures as far as they could and Suu Kyi and others returned to the slums with bodyguards.

"Well, as a guild, I think this has worked out better than I expected. Above all, Suu Kyi and others do their jobs well and seriously, even if they're people in the slums. It's great to know that."

　Guild officials are expected to cooperate fully in the dismantling of the Giant Turtle.
　Naturally, the remuneration for those who participated in the demolition also came from guilds and daskers, and that is why it was necessary to act in the interests of guilds while keeping the expenses down even a little.
　In that sense, the Suu Kyi's are a real find.

"Well, it would be a good thing for Suu Kyi to be hired in the guild... but you shouldn't think about tricking them into using it?"
"Of course. Basically, I don't get paid that much... but I'm sure I'll still be better off than the slums."

　The remark gives Ray a little relief.
　I didn't expect the guild staff to deceive Suu Kyi who came to work with Ray's introduction, but there's still an emergency.
　If that happens, it's totally unforgivable for Ray, who brought Suu Kyi.

"Okay. Then I won't say anything more. And I'm leaving soon. Is it okay not to go out with you all the way?"
"Yes, that's not a problem. When I went back to the guild, I asked them that they had almost finished cleaning up the warehouse. They also brought in heating magic items, so you can live in the warehouse without any problems."

　It would be pretty cold in the warehouse now, if it were summer.
　She probably brought in heating magic items to ease it, but... was wondering if it was really okay.
　When I was in Japan, there were times when there were portable heaters in the gym for school gatherings in the winter... but it wasn't warm at all, considering the size of the gym.
　It might be warm for those next to the heater, but it made no sense to the students in the gym.
　Guild officials call it a warehouse, and if they bring in 50 people... or their families, friends, or lovers, they will have at least a hundred people to sleep in, and it is natural that the warehouse should be large enough to accommodate themselves.
　Ray wondered if he could warm up that much space, but when I think about it, it's a magic item, so I think he could do it normally.
　Moreover, even though it is a warehouse of guilds, there is no draft.
　Then it should have been warmer than sleeping in a slum, even if it was a little cold.

"I see. Then I ordered it."

　Ray might not want to ask about the warehouse, but when he hears about it, he has a feeling that it will be a bit troublesome, so he just says that and leaves.
　Call out to Seto, who had been playing with some adults and children a short distance away, and he immediately approaches Ray.

"Gruly!"

　Ray leaves the scene with Seto, who happily purrs.
　Guild officials bowed deeply to Ray and Sett.
　Ray must have been so happy to leave the Suu Kyi's affairs to himself.
　Having a personal connection with Ray means a lot to those who work in the guild.
　...but when it comes to pure connections, Lenora and Kenny are overwhelmingly closer.
　Still, Ray's words and attitude were as pleasing to Guild officials as they could be.





"And? Ray seems to have been doing a lot of things today, but... have you achieved your goal?"

　As usual, as we eat dinner in Marina's garden, Vihela asks.
　Vichela, however, was also at the demolition site of the Giant Turtle today, and you would have heard of... bringing in slum dwellers, letting the guild give way and clearing the warehouse to let the Suu Kyi stay, providing magic items to make them feel comfortable, and providing guards to pick up their families in the slum.
　Still, what I dared to ask Ray was probably to talk to Elena, Marina and Arra about what he had done.

"Oh, there was a mud wall incident, too. ... It didn't seem to work very well with the e-mail."
"Email? ...is Marina teaching spiritual magic?"

　Elena shakes her head at the name that comes out of Marina's mouth.
　It must have been because I didn't know the name at all.
　But she soon remembers Marina teaching the Dark Elves spiritual magic and mutters convincingly.

"Yes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."
"Oh... I know. I think so."
"What's that vague word?"

　Marina tells him discontentedly whether she was dissatisfied with Ray's words.
　For Marina, Mail is a very talented dark elf.
　I'm still immature at the moment, but if I continue to grow, I'm sure I'll make it big in the future.
　though I think we ought to do something about that weakness, let alone the gift of spirit magic.

"No, even if you say so, I usually watch Marina's Spiritual Magic..."

　Ray, who was told disobediently, tells Marina so.
　In fact, Ray watches Marina's Spiritual Magic almost every day, which has the best skills he knows.
　For example, even though it's cold enough to snow now, the temperature in Marina's garden is high enough to normally eat outside, and the snow doesn't enter the garden.
　This is all by Marina's Spiritual Magic.
　It's such a large-scale exercise of spirit magic that anyone who knows it can think of as a waste of money.
　Having eaten in such a place where such a large scale of spiritual magic is practiced, Ray... no, the standards of spiritual magic of Elena, Vihela, and Arra are the same as Marina.
　No one but Ray has seen what kind of spirit magic the email used, so I can only nod to Marina's explanation, but Ray is different.
　I actually watch the spirit magic of the mail with my own eyes, and as a result, even if Marina says she is a highly talented person, I can't feel it slightly.

"Well, that's natural. My e-mail and I have different ages since we started using spirit magic."

　It was Marina who told her so, but Ray can predict that perhaps the reason Marina's spiritual magic has such a skill is because she is a shrine maiden of the world tree.

"Oh, yes. Well, I guess so."

　Ray doesn't know how old the email really is.
　But Marina, right in front of her, has a long life span due to the Dark Elf and has a long history of being an adventurer before becoming a guildmaster.
　From that experience, it is only natural that the magic skills of spirits will be so high... ...that of course she has the talent to become a shrine maiden of the world tree.
　Sending emails with Marina is like telling a talented newcomer who has just become an adventurer to show more power than Ray.
　It won't be something we can do together, if not very much.

(It must be taboo to ask a woman about her age... well, Marina said her own age, and I don't think I should let it pass.)

　Ray diverts from the subject, deciding that it would be best not to mention it any more.

"Anyway, I can't say for sure that this won't bring Cobold into the guillem, but it will certainly be fewer, and more people will join in dismantling the Giant Turtle."
"Well, but... wouldn't Ray's keeping the cobolt out of the guillem with the mud wall be a greater number for the Giant Turtle?"
"That's why those hired to guard the demolition will be busy. But the one who knocked it down can claim ownership, and I think the one who came to guard will do his best to earn money..."Ray told me so, but I have some concerns.
　When killing Koboldt who invaded the guillem, it was shaped like a simple maze by building materials placed at the site of the extension work.
　This made it easy to deal with the invasion of a certain number of cobolts into the guillem.
　However, the fact that the mud wall prevented them from entering the guillem means that the covolts would move in unison on the flat ground.
　The people employed to guard the demolition are wondering if they can cope with such a barrage of attacks.
　It's not uncommon for adventurers to be able to kill Kobold instantly if they're one-on-one.
　Even if it's two to one or three to one, you'll be able to win if you have more than a certain skill.
　But if it were to be ten to one, twenty to one, thirty to one, and so on and so on, the story would be different.

"...is it better to cut off the cobold to some extent by building a slightly lower mud wall near the demolition site?"

　After a few seconds of silence, Ray muttered.
　Even if it's not as big as the mud wall built to keep it out of the guillem, building a 1m-long mud wall would be a great hindrance to Kobold.
　It's not just one or two, it's possible to build any number of such mud walls within the range of terrain manipulation.
　That being the case, the Kobolt's stride should be out of order, and it would be impossible to imitate them coming in large groups.
　The drawback is that when the Cobold was toppled, the walls of the guards would be in the way... if they had waited for the Cobold who had climbed over the walls on a flat surface, there would have been no problem.

(Well, some of them may be tempted to defeat Cobold himself, or to make more money by beating him... don't you have to worry about them?)

　make a judgment like that
　In fact, they hire only guards, and they don't encourage them to aggressively defeat the enemy, just to intercept the attacking monsters.
　That being the case, Ray decided that he would not have to worry about anyone who would drive into the mud wall of his own accord.

"Oh, that sounds a bit interesting. ... It's not funny to say that fighting is Koboldt, but maybe you can join us then."
"... well, with Vihela's power, I don't think you have to worry so much... just be careful."

　Ray said so and concentrated on the continuation of his dinner.
