"Well... I prefer this place to the slums."
"Guru? ... Guru!"

 At Ray's words, Seto, who walks next to him, grunts in agreement.
 The reason why Seto looks happy is that the smell disappeared from the slums.
 Other than that, Ray said he was going to stop by a stall on the way, which was why Seto was happy.

(Even so...)

 Looking at the surroundings and not caring at all about what happened in the slums... Far from being aware of it, Ray still feels strange.
 If a store in Gilm's main street causes the kind of disturbance Ray did in the slums today, it's definitely going to be a big disturbance
 That's the security guard... No, it's not strange for a knight to be called.
 The reason why it didn't happen this time is simply because it was a slum.
 I didn't even wonder if that's all right for Ray, but there's order in the slums and in the rest.
 That's probably why none of the people walking around are concerned about what happened in the slums.
 It may be because Ray took good care not to spread around when burning a building.

"Well, first of all... should I show up at Marina?"

 In this case, Lazaria, who was introduced as a road guide by Black Dog, was very helpful.
 If it weren't for Lazaria, it would have taken a long time to find out where the enemy's hideout was.
 If that were the case, even if we had found the hideout of the enemy, we would not have been able to destroy so many organizations.
 That's why I wanted to thank Marina for introducing me to the Black Dog that sent Lazaria.
 ...I wanted to tell you about the other person who was leading the Black Dog.

"Guru..."
"Oh, come on. Don't worry. I'll stop by the stall before I go to the place where Marina is. And even after I meet her, I'll stop by if there's a good-looking stall."

 After hearing Ray's words, Seto looks up as if he's regained some energy.
 For Seto, it's nice to see Marina. I'm glad to see her, but... it must have been a shame that she couldn't go inside the clinic because of Seto's size.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to meet Marina again after this incident is over."

 In Marina's house, it's not uncommon for everyone to dine together in the garden.
 So, it is easy for Seto to meet Marina.
 ...but Ray didn't know when he would be able to return to Marina's house, as he still needed to go to the lake and the Tower of Birth for a while.
 Have you read Ray's thoughts? Seto cries again with regret.

"Oh, skewers sold at that stall... Doesn't it smell really good? Let's get some. You're going to eat Seto, right?"
"Guru!"

 Seto looks so energetic that I can't believe he was making a sad cry a few seconds ago.
 Even though he was aiming for it from the beginning, Ray's expression becomes subtle.
 Nevertheless, there was a good smell coming from a stall a little further away...it was an obvious fact that there was an appetizing smell, and Ray didn't have the option of not buying the skewers sold at the stall.

(This is... is the sauce unique?)

 Skewers can be easily made or eaten.
 That's why there are big differences in meat parts, quality, grilling skills, and flavoring.
 When it becomes an unsavory stall, it sells unsavory skewers to the point where you wonder why it tastes so bad.
 ...Of course, those stalls would collapse easily.
 But the food stall in front of Ray stimulates his appetite with the smell of grilling skewers.

(I remember asking if I could eat with baked smoke at eel shops or if I had seen it somewhere, but in this world, it's not rice, it's bread.)

 Thinking like that, Ray stands in a stall with Seto.
 With such an appetizing smell, there is a line in front of the stall as a matter of course.
 It's already the right time to call it evening, so what happens if one of the people who finishes work early smells a little hungry smells that stimulates an appetite floating from this stall?
 Of course, it's not surprising to think of buying some skewers.
 I don't have any, but...

"Hey, don't cut in! Line up!"
"Oh? Do you know who you're talking to?"

 It was almost at the same time as Ray and Seto started walking toward the stall and one of the customers at the stall was paying attention to the person who barged in front of them.
 I'm tired and hungry just after work.
 Therefore, it is only natural that some people are short-tempered...

"Oh? It doesn't matter who you are! I'm telling you to line up quickly because everyone is lining up!"
"Well... don't regret talking to me like that."
"Do it somewhere else."

 I can hear such a voice in the interrupting man's ear, and at the same time I feel floating.
 The next moment, the man was lying on the ground.
 However, Ray, who did it, killed the impact by lifting the opponent's body lightly at the moment he hit the ground, so there is almost no pain for the man.
 But... it's an undeniable fact that a man has been mocked and humiliated in public, and when I understand it, I stand up quickly.

"Oh my!"
"...what? Did you tell me that?"
"Of course... I don't think so. Excuse me!"

 At first, he complained to Ray, and in some cases, he was thinking of hitting him, but he noticed Seto by Ray's side and probably understood who the person in front of him was.
 What happens to those who quarrel with Ray?
 No one knew it in Gilm, and the man knew it as a matter of course.
 That's why I didn't want to fight Ray and ran away in a hurry.
 ...I guess that's partly because the man knew the rumor that Ray had a strong obsession with food.

"That's a pretty quick escape,"

 Ray muttered, seeing off the back of the man who ran away.
 Seto pulls Ray's dragon robe lightly with a whip.
 Ray understood what Seto wanted to say, so he nodded and stood at the end of the procession.

"Well... do you want to line up in front of me?"

 The man in front of Ray says so.
 Ray shook his head at the remark.
 Ray doesn't like to line up separately either.
 Even so, I feel awkward when I give up my line in the current situation.

"Don't worry. Has this stall been around for a long time or has it been around recently?"
"I don't know. Today is the first time I've come to this stall. But if it smells so good, I think you should have noticed it before."

 From the lines, Ray could have guessed that the man in front of him was going down this road every day.
 Some of those who came to Gilm for a job on the extension work found a job suitable for them and did it all the time, while others did a variety of work.
 If she was going to the same place every day, Ray could have guessed that it was probably the former.

"I'm looking forward to it."
"Oh, this smell really made me want to eat it."While we're having a conversation, the line goes on and it's Ray's turn.
 Ray wanted to say that he wanted all of the stock if possible, but if there were quite a few people behind him, he wouldn't be able to buy it all himself.
 So, for the time being, I bought 10 bottles for myself and Seto...

"There are two more bottles."

 The number of skewers handed over by the owner is 12.
 It was clearly more than I ordered, so I tell you so.
 As Ray, the more skewers you have, the better, so I'm not dissatisfied with paying more.

"Oh, that's a thank you. It's about the person who cut in."
"Ah... well, if you give it to me, I'll give it to you, but is it really okay?"
"Yes. If you get into a fight with someone else, you can't set up a stall here at worst. You can take it as a thank you for preventing it. And...

 The owner of the shop who pauses looks briefly at Seto.
 There, Seto is looking at me as if I were expecting something.
 The scent of grilling a skewer must have stimulated your appetite more than you can expect from Seto, who has five keen senses.
 If you look at Seto staring at Ray's skewers with round eyes, you may want to give him a little extra.

"I'm sorry. I'll stop by when I see you again."

 The shopkeeper bows to Ray, who tells him so.
 To avoid disturbing other customers, Ray walks away from the stall with a skewer in his hand and gives a skewer to Seto, who is looking forward to it.
 Even if you give one to Seto, there are still 11 left, so before it gets cold, put most of the skewers in the Mystery and bring them to your mouth.

"Well... it's more delicious than I thought."

 The smell of grilling the meat was already anticipated, but the meat in Ray's mouth has a firm chewiness, fat, and the flavor of the sauce covering the meat, and finally brings another bite of meat to his mouth.

(But it's kind of strong......intentionally? Many people are on their way home from work.)

 Since you sweat and the salt level in your body is decreasing, a slightly salty sauce may taste even better.
 Also, since I'm on my way home from work, it's not strange to assume that I'm going to buy this skewer and ale...

"Rolling!"

 When Seto finished eating one bottle right away, give Ray one more bottle! My throat is ringing.
 The deliciousness of the skewers... Rei, who enjoys the taste of meat, hands over one of the skewers he had in his hand to Seto.
 enough or so
 Ray and Seto finished eating all the twelve skewers they had bought.
 Generally speaking, one or two skewers can be a light meal before dinner, but if they are six, they can naturally be full.
 However, Ray and Seto are not hungry at that rate, but rather whether they are hungry or not.
 In a sense, you can enjoy any number of meals, but the reason why you can do that is because Ray is not short of money.

"There were a lot of boring things during the day, but it might have been a trial to eat this skewer. ... I might say too much."
"Guru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru?"

 In Ray's words, Seto calls out that he feels the same way.
 Generally speaking, I was targeted by assassins, and when I was in the guillem by Darb, I felt a strong sense of strangeness, and as a result, I ended up destroying many of the organizations behind the slums, but I still wonder if it would be good to eat this skewer.
 If you think about it normally, I can't agree with you, though.

"Oh, Ray!"

 After finishing the skewers with Seto, Ray was thinking of going on to the next restaurant, but suddenly he was called by his name and looked at his voice.
 There was a security guard.
 He looks relieved to find Ray.

"What's the matter?"
"There's nothing I can do... about the assassins who are aiming at you. There were a lot of people who were very reticent, but I was able to get some information."
"Ah..."

 Come to think of it, you were pushing an assassin on the guards. It really reminds me now.
 Ray opens his mouth to the guards with a slightly apologetic look.

"I'm sorry. I've already lost my organization."
"...what?"
"Oh, but I didn't kill everything because I didn't have time, so I want information about organizations that haven't been crushed yet."
"Wait, wait, wait. What the hell are you talking about? Did you destroy the organization?"
"Oh, it's a bit of a turn of events."
"Are you going to destroy the behind-the-scenes organization?"
"That's five,"
"...oh, I see..."

 At Ray's words, the guard could say nothing more.
