1994 chapter 1994



"This is... I see,"

 Gladallas picks up Ray's tentacles and nods convincingly.
 Although he had never seen the tentacles in person, he had read a report from a security guard who had experienced them firsthand, and was convinced that the tentacles Ray had given him were almost identical to those written in the report.
 Of course, there is a possibility that this tentacle is a fake...
 However, the eyeballs floating in the air were clearly visible from where Gladallas was, and, above all, the battle with them was not detailed, but could be seen clearly from a distance.
 Then it was only natural to judge that he would not bother to deceive himself by preparing a fake tentacles.

"And here, sir... if I really keep it?"
"Oh, I don't mind. Frankly speaking, I think I can use it as a magic item, but I think I'd rather have a little bit of information about this incident."

 Ray replies to Gladallas.
 In fact, what Ray gave me... a part of the tail of the eyeball would definitely be considered a very valuable material for the viewer to see.
 Because it's the tail of existence outside the world.
 However, of course Ray would just leave it with him, and when the act of examining his tail is over, he'll have it returned it.
 Judging from Ray's appearance, he must have understood his feelings. Gladallas nods firmly.

"I'll make sure to give it back when I'm done looking into it
"Do so. And, as I told you before, my master gave me the body. There may be pieces of meat or something like that in the battlefield, but be careful that it may be burnt or poisoned."

 Ray reminds me of the poison in particular.
 After all, the poison used by those eyeballs was very troubling: they covered the tail with a liquid of poison, which evaporated into a poisonous gas.
 It may be compatible, but Ray felt that the venom was more troubling than the thunder he could burn.

"Yes. ...thank you for everything.

 Gladallas bowing and saying so.
 Ray leaves the tent after telling her not to worry.
 There was some dull air outside the tent.
 In some cases, it's only natural that you had to fight against a giant eyeball that you could see from here, as the Rays beat you down and you don't have to fight.
 Apart from that, Elena is delighted to see Arra and Yero, and Vichela is delighted to see Bune again, with Marina and Seto right next to them.
 The tension disappeared naturally because of the rare sight of beautiful women.
 After a glance at such a scene, Ray begins to walk towards the direction many of the people in the place are looking at him.
 If that happens, Ray's eyes will be on him, but as long as he is here, there is no one to say anything special about him.

"For the time being, I'm done with the report. I heard you can go home later."
"Well... but considering he was such a big opponent, I think he could have seen it from Gilm. Then I think Gilm would have caused trouble... What do you think?"

 Marina, looking at Elena and Vihela, questions this way.
 In fact, an enemy of that magnitude was flying to a fairly high altitude.
 It's only natural that people here see it, but it's no wonder that it can be seen from the guillem.
 But...

"You may have seen it, but Mr. Dusker will do something about it. There are guards and adventurers."

 Marina smiles in agreement with Ray's words.
 For Marina, Dusker has been her acquaintance since she was a child, and the guild is an organization that Marina has long run as a guildmaster.
 Marina is not particularly involved with the guards, but I still know her ability to keep the peace in Guillum to the fullest extent possible.
 That being the case, Ray's attitude of total belief in Guillum was probably the only thing he was happy about.

"Well, let's go back to Gilm and see if Ray's prediction is correct. And tonight we're going to have a big dinner for the launch. It's a bit troublesome, so let's buy it from different shops."
"Well, there's no point in staying here forever, now that I've knocked down my eyes." ... Can you get me a carriage on my way home?"
"They've taken us all the way here, and of course they'll get us a carriage on our way home, and if it doesn't work, we can move in a set basket."
"... well, I think I'd get to Gilm faster if I were to move in a set basket than in a carriage."
"No, I'll have a carriage ready for you,"

 What interrupted Ray and Marina was the knight who guided them this far from Gillum.
 I guess that's what it means to be a guide on your way home, too.

"Is that so?"

 Ray knew the knight was approaching, so he replied without apparent surprise.
 The knight, who had taken it for granted that he was approaching, nodded at once.

"All right, then, I'll send you a carriage in a minute."

 Seeing off the Knight leaving, Ray calls out to Elena, who is still talking.

"Hey, Elena. I'm going back to Gilm. Don't talk forever. Get ready."
"Well, I see!"

 If you dare to prepare, all you can think of is whether you have your weapons firmly.
 Even in Vihela, the weapons are armed in the form of the back of the hand or foot, so you can't forget them.
 Thus, Ray and his colleagues all return safely to Gilm.
 ...and, of course, not many horse-drawn cabs were available, and most of them would walk home to Gillum in the midst of the snow again.





"It's not as noisy as I thought,"

 That was the first word Ray said when he returned to Gilm.
 In fact, as Ray said, the people walking around the city are slightly noisy, but there is no sign of a panic as Ray feared...
 Usually, if you see a giant eyeball floating in the air... and you know there's a battle going on around that eyeball, and then the battle is not far from the guillem, you can have a lot of trouble.
 What's more, it would be even more if the people in Gilm were not the residents of the original Gilm, but the people who survived the extension work...that is, many of them were unfamiliar with the style of the frontier.
 Those who originally lived in Gillum would not care that much if it were a little bit of a commotion... ...but whether or not the battle with the eyeballs today was a bit of commotion was a matter of commotion.
 In comparison, those who stayed in Guilm for an extension work...for those who were far from home or couldn't afford to go back, it was very important that Guilm was exposed to Cobolt almost every day.

"Isn't that all right, if it's not all the fuss?"
"Yes. Or you've been in the guillem for a long time and you've gotten used to it."

 muttered Vihela in agreement with Elena's words.
 That's what Ray didn't think, but if you think about it, it's disgraceful or embarrassing to show that you're the only one who's surprised when people around you aren't surprised.
 Moreover, as long as Gilmoo is not directly in danger, it is not surprising that the feeling of that area will be different.

"Anyway, it's all right if there's no fuss about it. But, as I said, we're going to have a splendid dinner for the launch today, and we'll get ready for that."

 Marina's words, everyone who listened to them... especially the greedy Bune, nods quickly, changing his expression.
 For Bune, the lavish dishes at the launch must have been so appealing.
 "However, if you look at the various dishes that Ray and his colleagues usually eat from the viewpoint of those who live normally, it will definitely be above average, if not luxurious."
 I'm eating freshly made and freshly made food in a magic kiln.
 Also, many of the ingredients include high-ranked monster meat prepared by Ray and seafood that is difficult to obtain around here.
 However, since the seafood was caught by this member in the summer, including Rei, it is correct to say that Rei is only preserved.

"Yes!"

 Bune leads Seto and Yero through the city.
 The Rays follow one and two of them.
 It was not unusual for Gilmoo to arrive at a yakidon stand..."Strangely there are people in line,"

 More than a dozen people line up at the stall, where Ray has never been to much.
 It's this season of winter, and it's snowing a little.
 At the same time, Ray, whose senses are sharper than usual, naturally notices the fragrant smell coming from the stall.

"Gruly!"
"Yes!"

 Seto and Bune tell me they want to eat that street stall's yakidon, respectively.
 Ray doesn't say he doesn't eat at the stalls because he finds it troublesome to stand in line with the fragrant scent that floats around him.
 It's the same for everyone else, and the lays line up quietly in the street stall.
 ...as a matter of course, the sight of the lays lining up in line attracts attention.
 Meanwhile, the person standing in front of Ray is happy to be spoken to by Vihela and explains why the stall is so prosperous.

"First of all, when you grill udon, the flavor of it. Normally, you put the boiled udon on an iron plate and stir-fry it with meat and vegetables, but here you add a little bit of course."
"A little help?"
"Yes, when you boil udon, you drain the water thoroughly and then put it on the iron plate. At first, you put only udon on the iron plate and bake it slowly. So, while pressing the udon on the iron plate, the udon gets a little burnt, and then you turn it back and bake it again."

 Say so and continue explaining.
 Instead of pouring udon directly into the meat and vegetables that have been stir-fried from the beginning, the udon is thoroughly baked with udon noodles, then covered with ale, and steamed after baking udon noodles.
 After that, Udon noodles are coated with a special sauce, seasoned only with Udon noodles, and then mixed with meat and vegetables to stir-fry.
 By doing so, the outside of Udon noodles can be grilled well and the texture of Udon noodles can be enjoyed, and the center of Udon noodles can be enjoyed with a firm texture.
 Also, Udon noodles are grilled well in advance, so the sauce is often mixed.
 When I heard that, I thought Ray might lose his balance of taste if he hadn't seasoned the meat and vegetables, but according to the man's explanation, that's not the case.
 Anyway, it's a bit different from other yaki-udon stalls, so I'd like you to try it.
 They wait for their turn, thinking that they are going to eat as long as they stand in line.
 Nonetheless, a street stall is a street stall.
 Naturally, there aren't that many dishes that can be cooked at once...let alone, it takes a lot of time to cook a meal as long as it takes a lot of time or two to cook compared to regular fried udon noodles.
 It takes more time than regular yakidon, so it takes a considerable amount of time for the laymen to make it.
 The toughest part is probably the smell of the savory sauce that keeps making yaki-udon while waiting.
 Even if you don't like it, expectations for the scent go up.
 After a few minutes... it's finally the Ray's turn.
 Eat the fried udon you bought on the spot.
 You could take it home, but in that case you had to prepare your own containers.
 That's why you eat on the spot...

"Yes, it's delicious. It's more savory than regular fried udon noodles."
"And the udon is boiled shorter than usual as it's cooked first."

 As I said that, I was going to negotiate with everyone to come to Marina's house at today's launch.
