"Then don't ask for Seto,"
"Yes. I love playing with Seto. You don't have to worry about that. Ray, you've had a good time."

　Elena replies to Ray.
　Normally, it's not very desirable for a man you love to go out to eat with another woman.
　But this time Kenny is the one.
　Elena has met Kenny before and acknowledges his existence.
　Kenny, however, thought it would be a little more difficult for Ray than Elena, Marina and Vihela.
　The three Elena have a long life with Ray.
　By comparison, Kenny, a beast, is not much different from ordinary humans in terms of life expectancy.

"Seto, then you can hang out with Yero.
"Gruly!"

　Ray talks to Seth, following Elena.
　When Seth is approached, she shrieks when she understands.
　For Seto, it was a shame that he couldn't be with Ray, but I'm also happy to be able to play with him.
　That's why I obeyed Ray's words honestly.
　If I had left her at the Wheat-tei dormitory at dusk, of course I wouldn't have resisted her, given her character, but she would still have felt quite lonely.

"Kiss! Kiss!"
"Grull!"

　When he flies to Seto's side, he cries to play at once.
　Seth, too, was delighted to hear what he said, and they began to run in the garden of Marina's house.
　Ray was watching such a chase, but Elena's voice brought him back to life.

"Ray, you can't keep Kenny waiting, can you? You had better go early."
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Then don't ask for a set."
"Yes, leave it to me,"

　After a brief exchange of words, Ray leaves Marina's house.
　and walk down the barony street."

(As expected, the number of people on patrol has increased.)

　I think so when I see soldiers employed by the nobility, or adventurers employed on a temporary basis, roaming the streets of the nobility.
　That being said, this is inevitable.
　Many people came to the present guillem in search of work.
　Some of the people who gather in this way are, of course, in some measure unwise, sneaking into aristocratic residences and stealing...
　That's why the nobles look around in this way to keep out suspicious people in their residences and in the barons.
　However, hiring an adventurer is a natural expense.
　It was no wonder that hiring a credible adventurer who could be entrusted with this kind of work, rather than building extensions, would require a lot of compensation.
　It must have been the case that aristocrats of the same faction negotiated and held various negotiations with each other, or with other aristocrats who had friendly relationships with each other even though the factions were different.
　and the adventurers who are on the lookout for it, of course, are wary of any suspicious person in the barony, and in some cases listen to him."

"Oh, Ray. It's unusual to be alone. What's wrong with Seto?"

　When an adventurer on the lookout finds Ray, he calls out.
　In the absence of Seto, the reason why he sees through Ray wearing a dragon robe is probably because he has more than a certain amount of skill and, above all, because he knows Ray.
　Naturally, the adventurers who are trusted and employed by aristocrats in the aristocracy have been in Gillum for a long time...that is, those who have known Ray for a long time.
　...however, anyone who has gathered some information on coming to Gillum would know of Ray's existence.

"I'm going downtown because I have an appointment."
"I see. There are more people and more suspicious people these days, so be careful. ... That's what I, a Rank C adventurer, tell Ray."

　The embarrassed adventurers laughed at the other adventurers around themselves.

"I'll be careful of suspicious people. See you later."

　Then they exchange short words and leave the town of Lords with the adventurers on the lookout.
　Once out of the aristocracy, it's already a familiar city for Ray.
　However, it was quite lively due to the increase in the number of people.
　Moreover, the number of people who finished work a little earlier in the city was increasing, as it was getting closer to the end of the day.
　Walking around the city like that...

"Hey, I'm waiting for people! So I can't keep you company! OK!"

　As I approached the accessory store I was meeting, I heard a voice like that.
　The voice was obviously familiar to Ray... and, most importantly, the voice of the person he was meeting here.

"You can say that. Nobody's here. I'll take you with me when your friends come, so what do you think?"
"You know... if you don't mind, you'll get angry."
"Oh, I'm scared. I'll cry if this beautiful sister scolds me."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

　Listening to such conversations, Ray approaches the accessory store even further.
　Then there was the scene as expected.
　Three young men were picking on Kenny, who had changed into plain clothes.

(For the time being, we're going to help. It won't be fun if time goes on like this.)

　Just as Ray was about to take a step forward...

"Hey, I'm on a date now. I'm not like you guys, I'm just going to go home. I'm afraid I'll get a weird misunderstanding."
"Oh, come on!"

　Kenny, who made a semi-provoking remark, was careless, but I don't think he would have thought that his words would suddenly strike him.
　He looked surprised for a moment... the next moment he avoided the man's fist with his cat family's unique flexible movements, and he grabbed his arm, controlled the flow of power, and threw it.
　aikido (aikido) throwing by means of aikido
　A man who hits is beaten to the ground by his own strength, not knowing what was done to him.

"Slip!"
"What!? ... this woman!"

　Seeing his companions hit the ground, one of the other two reflexively hits Kenny, too...and, as a matter of course, results in the same way as the first man.

"Well, this level of self-defense is essential as a receptionist for the Adventurer's Guild, for in some cases they fight against adventurers."

　Two people who were lying on the ground and one who was still safe looked dumbfounded.

"The Guild's... receptionist?"
"Well, you have to be strong enough to deal with adventurers. At least you can't do anything about it, OK, me?"

　Kenny teased him, but now that he's only shown his strength, men can't argue with anything.The reason we can be aggressive is simply because we are weaker than we are.
　...if it hadn't been Gillum here, the men might have made some big faces.

"Well, when you learn from this, don't play, but work hard. ... Oh, Ray."

　Kenny calls Ray's name with a happy look, perhaps after telling the men.
　There was nothing to suggest that he had been preaching to the men a few seconds before, and the look of a girl in love seemed worthy.
　The instant changes in Kenny's appearance are not realistic to men who have been easily knocked down... all they can do is look at Kenny and Ray.

"Were you busy?"
"Nothing special. Nothing special happened. ... Well, let's go now. It's this time, and Ray is hungry."
"Well... well, then, before that... well, I don't think I've seen Kenny in plain clothes for the first time, but I think it's been a long time since I saw him wearing anything other than his guild uniform."

　It wasn't flattery, it was purely Ray's words because he thought so.
　...to be exact, I think it's better to compliment women on their clothes because I've seen many games, comics, and anime in Japan.
　And it's also very rare to see Kenny in plain clothes.
　Kenny looks happy at Ray's words... and that's what makes him smile from the bottom of his heart.
　Kenny was naturally careful about his clothes, as it was his first date with Ray in a long time.
　After breaking up with Ray in the guild, he hurried through the rest of the work and finished taking over with the receptionist who came in for him, and after he got home he changed.
　Ray didn't get that far, but he still understood that Kenny was different.

"Hmm, I'm glad Ray likes it. I bought this dress a little while ago, but I didn't have a chance to wear it."

　In Kenny's smiley vision, the three of them have already disappeared completely.
　Well, it's true that two people are still lying on the ground, and one of them is in such a state that he can't escape from here.
　But Kenny's date with Ray was already dozens or hundreds of times more important than those three.

"I see. Then I'm glad I've made it to the public.

　a dress resembling a green dress that is springlike
　Unfortunately, Ray was not familiar with women's clothing, so he didn't know if it was really a dress, but in the guild uniform he looked quite quiet for Kenny to wear, who opened his chest provocatively.
　That surprise, however, seemed fresh to Ray.

(Good)

　Feeling a mixture of surprises in Ray's gaze, Kenny takes a gutsy pose in his heart, though not in words or expressions.
　This is actually what I bought when I went shopping with Lenora, but somehow I've never worn it before.
　Of course it wasn't like Kenny was out on the street working...it was purely because he was going to wear it when he went out with Ray.

"Well, well. The restaurants we're going to are basically hard to find, so it won't be crowded at this time of day. Why don't you go out with Ray and go to different restaurants?"

　If you say so with a happy and anticipated stare, Ray can't say no.
　Or if I had any business to do, it would have been different, but now I had nothing particularly urgent to do.
　That's why Ray nods easily to Kenny's words.

"Okay, so what kind of restaurant are you going to stop by? If you don't hurry a little, more people will come home after work. ... Well, if you're tired after work, few people will be able to afford to stop by different restaurants."
"Well, that's right. Why don't you stop by that accessory store first? ... Well, I've caused you a little trouble with this one."

　Saying a little embarrassed, Kenny looks again at the two lying on the ground and the only man standing among them.
　Perhaps because of his firsthand experience of having a power that doesn't match his appearance, the three men are blinded by Kenny's gaze.
　Ray follows Kenny, looking dumbfounded at them.

(If you were an adventurer, but if you had come to work normally, you should have done your job honestly... oh, did these people come together to look like last year's red cloth?)

　Thinking about it, I went into a small store...

"Ugh!"

　Inside the shop... no, I'm surprised to see Seto's wooden doll in the middle.
　I knew they were selling Seto dolls in this store, but they were just about the size of a palm.
　What surprised Ray to see was a huge wooden doll about a meter long.
　Now that I've come to this point, I feel it's more appropriate to call it a wooden statue than a wooden sculpture.

"... great again,"
"Oh, that? Hmmm, you must be surprised."

　Kenny would smile at Ray as if the mischief had been successful.
