"Oh, my God,"

　The woodcutters who got out of the basket saw Gilm and shouted at him all together.
　There were ten men... like woodcutters, in a set basket for about five people, and they would be glad to be freed from that narrow space.
　But it was only natural that we should be drawn to the city of Gilm, which lies just beyond our eyes.
　Many of the woodcutters come from a small place called a village.
　Some of them came from the city, but it was impossible to compare the ordinary town with the guillem, even though they were in the same category.
　Naturally, as long as you live in the Kingdom of Mileana, you know the only city on the frontier, Gilm.
　But still... yes, I think it's an extraordinary shock to see firsthand.
　For a few minutes, the woodcutters looked at the guillem as if they were impressed or overwhelmed, but decided that it was enough, and Ray, holding the set basket in the mistling, opened his mouth.

"Are you satisfied with looking at the guillem from outside? Then I'll go through the procedures to enter the guillem."

　Perhaps Ray's words brought them back to their senses, the woodcutters turned around in a flurry.
　He must have completely lost his soul to Gillum and forgotten that Ray was there.

(I'm glad I got off the road.)

　Ray thinks intently, caressing Seto as he rubs his face against her.
　Since it's spring, many people are now gathering in Gilm in search of work.
　For example, to do extensions, or to sell construction materials and other products.
　Especially now, there are many merchants in horse-drawn carts, and many horse-drawn carts moved along the highway.
　Under such circumstances, if the woodcutters on the highway had been caught in the eye of Gilm without showing any concern about the surrounding situation, they would certainly be in the way of the merchants.
　...however, information is the life of a merchant.
　Especially if you're a merchant who comes to Gilm, you'll know Ray and Sett as a matter of course.
　If Ray and Sett were on the side of the workmen, they wouldn't be forced to drive them away.
　Well, it's not surprising to act considerately in order to impress Ray and Seto.

(If you were a child, you might think it would be funny, but it was the woodcutters who were fascinated by Gilm.)

　The woodcutters don't look very smiley, if not very smiling.
　Appearance differences have a lot to do with times like this.
　The woodcutters, who come back to life with Ray's words, look a little embarrassed.
　It must have been embarrassing to see that the woodcutters in their twenties and thirties had their eyes wide open.

"Here we go. I'll tell you, we're going to line up quite a bit, so that's what I'm going to do."

　Saying so, Ray looks at the procession in front of the main gate.
　I could tell by looking at it that there were quite a few people lined up there.
　The woodcutters stop in a procession they have never seen in their village or town.

"...what? Are you kidding me?"

　After a few seconds of silence, one of the woodcutters asks Ray so.
　But Ray shakes his head with a straight face.

"No, it's no joke. The reason I called you guys to Gilm is because there aren't many skilled woodcutters in the first place. I told you beforehand that Gilm is doing extensions, right? It's a little too much to say, but it's not uncommon."

　It's just spring, so there are a lot of people, but this is how a lot of people come to Gilm between now and winter.
　Of course, it's not just that they're coming, but that some people are leaving after a job at Gilm.
　So basically, to get into Gilm, you had to wait in line for your turn to go through the procession.

"That's a lie... Hey, wait a minute, Ray. We're going to work here as woodcutters, right? Then, of course, we're going to work outside, not inside the guillem..."

　The first woodcutter to talk to Ray looks at him in disgust and annoyance.
　It's only natural. Every time you work, you may be dissatisfied if you are told that you have to stand in a line like this.
　The other woodcutters turn their eyes to Ray at what he said.
　Ray was asked to forgive me, but he spoke reassuringly.

"It's not just the woodcutters, but if you work outside the guillem temporarily, it's easy to get in and out of the guillem, and you don't have to line up in that queue. This is your first time in the guillem."

　with a whim
　Clearly, the woodcutters were relieved by Ray's words.

"So you have to go through the process of getting into the guild first, and then you'll take him to the guild... and then he'll take care of you know.

　Nevertheless, Ray wondered what would happen to the woodcutters' lodgings at this late hour.
　"Even under the present circumstances, there was a problem with the inn, and even if I brought a woodcutter there..."
　This is not the last woodcutter to bring.
　I'm staying at Gilm today, but from tomorrow I'm going to pick up a woodcutter somewhere else.
　Ray doesn't know exactly how many people to gather, as this is a request from the upper management of the guild.
　We will continue to carry woodcutters until the upper management of Gilm, who has requested them, is satisfied.

(Oh, are you going to use the Guild's warehouse? The gigant turtleneck is over, and the slums are gone by now.)

　It was such a large warehouse that it wouldn't feel small if a woodcutter pretended to live with dozens of people.
　However, even if you don't feel small, you'll feel the heat.

"Now that we know what's going on, we'll line up quickly. As we wait like this, the line will grow longer and longer."

　As Ray said, the tail of the procession was definitely longer than before, even as he spoke to the woodcutters.
　When the woodcutters saw it, they hurried towards the procession.
　The people in the procession were amazed at the sight of such lays, sets, and woodcutters, but convinced that it was the adventurer's business.

"What? Why is Ray standing in line? Aren't we the only ones standing in line?"
"Well, but taking you all to the guild means that I have to act with you, after all, so I don't have to be in line like this, do I?"
"Guru..."

　At Ray's words, Seto purrs a little dissatisfied.
　For Seto, the best option was to get into the guillem first, eat some food at the stall, and wait for the woodcutters...
　But as long as Ray associated with the woodcutters in this way, Sett's aim was destroyed.
　That said, it's not that Seto hates the woodcutters, either.
　After defeating the bandits, some of the woodcutters had apparently softened their attitudes toward Seto.
　...and yet he wasn't enough to play with me.

"Look, I'll just buy you something when you get into Gilmoo, so be patient with it. Do you want to eat this?"

　Saying so, Ray pulls the dried meat out of the mistling.
　It's dried meat made from oak, not ordinary dried meat.
　You'll see what kind of dried meat is like when you think of it as a favorite or luxury item, rather than a practical item that adventurers usually carry around.
　Unlike dried meat made for adventurers, it is rich in spices, and the production process takes time and effort by artisans.
　That's the kind of dried meat that a reasonably wealthy person would eat as a snack.
　Unlike dried meat, which is naturally only hard, it has a certain amount of softness even when dried.
　Such dried meat was one of Seto's favorite foods, so Seto easily relented with the dried meat.

"Grull".

　Watching the cet eating dried meat with a purring voice, Ray thinks that if the spices were cheaper, there would be more dried meat like this and more seasoned food.
　In terms of spices, however, Gilm is overwhelmingly better off than any other village or town.
　Because it is a remote area, various plants that do not exist in other regions grow naturally, and many of them can be used as spices.On the contrary, there are spices that can only be obtained in this guillem.
　But... it's only native, not cultivated.
　Everyone has tried to grow a spice plant, but has never been successful.
　Well, in some cases the cultivation was successful, but it took a lot of money... and it seems that it was not profitable, if not very much, because it even used light gold coins.
　On top of that, spices made from cultivated plants were not as tasty as those made from native plants.
　Then no one would think of growing their own spices.
　As a result, one of the adventurers' jobs is to extract spices from plants in forests, forests, mountains, grasslands...
　That kind of request, however, is difficult to find plants, and the amount obtained is basically small, and the reward is not so great.

(Cultivation of spices? ... I'm not worried about money, so if you want to try, you can try.)

　Watching Seto eat dried meat, Ray thinks so.
　We could only use light gold coins to produce less palatable spices than wild spices.
　That's what Ray knows, but if so, he can improve the breed.
　...that might mean spending even more money, but there's nothing wrong with Ray, as thieves are everywhere.
　The only trouble is the bandits, but for Ray, who recognizes the bandits as bonus characters, it wasn't a problem at all.
　In fact, by continuing to defeat robbers, I was wondering if they would eventually become an endangered species, and I was wondering if I could attack illegal organizations that existed in the city, even if they weren't robbers.
　If you hear about the organizations behind the scenes in Gillum, the procession to get into Gillum goes ahead and it's Rey's turn.

"Oh, Ray. Seth, too. Why are you lining up here again?"

　When the guard sees Ray and Sett, he says so with a smile.
　As a security guard, he's probably fond of Ray in part because of his eyeballs.
　But even before that Ray had been rather friendly with the guards...

"I went to get a woodcutter at the request of the guild who said I could come to work, so I had to wait alone in the guild."
"Oh... I see. Then, shall we get through the process?"

　The guards, convinced by Ray's words, immediately begin the proceedings.
　If there were fewer people, we could have a chat with Ray, but behind them there's a queue waiting for him.
　They were security guards with more than 50 people doing the procedures, including baggage inspections, but given the circumstances, they can't afford to chat.
　Now it was necessary to get through the procession as soon as possible and cut through this procession as possible.
　That's why Ray, Sett, and the woodcutters quickly finish the process and go into the guillem without any problems.

"Is this Gilmoo?"
"Wow, there aren't so many people... there aren't so many people in my village even at festivals."

　While looking at the scenery inside the guillem, the woodcutters share their impressions.

"Well, don't be so impressed. You're going to live in Guillum for a while from today, so you can see all sorts of views of Guillum.

　Ray's words are by no means exaggerated.
　In particular, woodcutters go out of the guillem almost every day, so you can see this view from near the main gate many times until the extension work is completed in winter.
　With these woodcutters Ray was heading for the guild.
