The talks, which severely damaged Dusker's stomach, lasted for about half an hour.
 Originally, Dusker wanted to hear a little more about Ray's situation, but now that there are many people who want to work on documents and visit him, he can't take time to talk to Ray forever.
 Originally, Dusker wanted to talk to Ray while working.
 However, that's not because I'm looking forward to talking to Ray, but because I thought it might taste bad if I don't listen to Ray in various ways.
 For that reason, Dusker was talking to the limit of his free time, but there was still a limit.
 So Ray couldn't tell much about the world beyond, but when he finished, he left Dusker, who looked as if he wanted to tell me a little more, and was urged out of the lord's house by Dusker's men.
 Sensing that Ray is back, Seto immediately comes to pick Ray up from the garden, and Ray and Seto are seen off by the gatekeeper and go outside.

"Well, what are we going to do now... after all, we should go to Marina's house."
"Guru!"

 Seto cries happily at Ray's words.
 Elena now lives in Marina's house.
 In other words, it was impossible for Seto not to be happy about meeting his friend Yello.
 As for Ray, he looks subtly reluctant.
 The last time I came back, I didn't see Elena or Marina in person, and above all, I decided that there would be a lot of things for Elena and others to think about that only Vihira is going to the other world.
 According to what I heard from Vyhela, he said he had left a good note, but that meant he had not directly told Elena or Marina about the situation.
 I thought I had to explain about it myself, but it wasn't that I didn't have anything to think about.

"But if I don't stop by again this time... I'm afraid I'll be very scared later."

 While eating a skewer of oak that she bought at a stall, Ray goes to Marina's house... toward a certain aristocratic quarter.
 On the way, there were children who wanted to play with Seto as usual, but now they are in a hurry, so they let me go.
 ...there were people who saw Seto giving him nuts and eating them happily, but that's probably the case in point.
 Walk while communicating like that, and eventually enter the aristocratic district.
 You meet an adventurer on the way, but this Gilm adventurer who doesn't know Ray's face is Moguri.
 Or, if you're an adventurer who's recently arrived in Gilm, you may not know Ray's face, but you won't be mistaken for Seto with Ray.
 For that reason, the adventurers around do not seem to be particularly wary and talk to Ray.

"Ray, are you going home now?"

 One of the five men and women in their 20s said so, and Ray nods.

"Oh, I have something to do. ...but it's not exactly me, it's Marina's."
"That's why it's Ray's house, right?

 The conversation doesn't mesh.
 That's what Ray thought, but if he did something deep into it, it would be boring, so I'll just skip it and change the subject.

"More than that, there are a lot of patrols, but is there a guy who's in the aristocratic district?"
"Oh, there are people who come in by mistake without knowing anything. That's not a problem, but... some people are thinking bad things."
"Well, I suppose so."

 Noble neighborhoods are naturally inhabited here.
 And the aristocrats living there may be gold coins, gold coins... jewelry, and possibly magic items.
 In Gilmoo, where many people gather, it's no wonder that some people are thinking strange things.
 Well, I'm sure there will be such as that.
 That's why adventurers hired by aristocrats are patrolling like this way.

"And... you know, near the nobility town... you know?"

 an adventurer who tells Ray with a touch of embarrassment.
 At first Ray didn't understand what he was talking about, but soon he thought of it.
 a neighborhood not far from the aristocracy, what we call a luxury neighborhood.
 About the existence of the underground and the disturbance caused by the incident.
 The reason the adventurer seemed reluctant to say was probably Ray's strong involvement in the affair.
 Rei nods for the time being, having guessed that.

"Don't worry about it. I don't care that much for now either. ...Well, good luck with your patrol. Thanks to you guys, strange people won't come in."

 Say so, Ray heads to Marina's house with Seto.
 The adventurers wave their hands lightly to Ray and Seto, and don't do anything in particular.
 That's exactly what many adventurers already know about Ray living in Marina's house.

"I wish it would explode."

 That's why one of the male adventurers tells him that Ray has become distant.
 A beautiful woman like Marina... She lives with the finest. The house is inhabited by the princess general Elena and Vihera, who is a combat fanatic but straightforward maniac.
 So it was impossible not to be jealous.
 ...there are actually other people living in it, like Arla and Beune, who are actually quite popular.

"I'm not kidding. If you want to have a beautiful woman like Ray, be stronger."

 Next to the man who told me to explode, the woman told me dumbfounded.
 If a property is as good as Ray, even women want to join it.
 But... I don't really want to be asked if I have the courage to go inside Elena, Marina, Vihera, and so on.

"How can you be as active as Ray?"

 The man complained, but the woman only looked at him in amazement.





"Well, I feel like I'm back after a long time."

 It's been a long time since I actually came back to Marina's house, so that's not the wrong feeling.
 Next to Ray, Seto grunts to get in early.
 It was natural for Seto to be happy to see his friend Yello after a long time.

"Guru".

 Rey goes through the gate, nodding to Seto's throat to go quickly.
 In fact, if someone comes to this house who has strange ideas - like the ones mentioned in the story of the adventurers I saw earlier - by the magic of the spirits of Marina - automatically intercepts them.
 However, since Ray and Seto had already slept in this house many times, they were not judged to be suspicious by spirit magic, and were able to enter the house normally.
 And as soon as I tried to open the door...

"Hush!"

 The door opens a second earlier than Ray opens, from which several men come out.
 Judging from his appearance, he must be a member of the aristocracy.
 These men cast suspicious glances at Ray for a moment, but they saw Seto... on Ray's side, probably recognizing who was standing in front of them.
 If you bow slightly, the men just leave.

(A nobleman who came to see Elena?)

 Elena used to live in the lord's house, but she moved to Marina's house because many people wanted to see her.
 For those who come to the lord's house, it is only natural that, while meeting Dusker, some people would like to know Elena.
 In some cases, a dusker was more of a bonus.
 Anyway, that's why Elena ended up staying at Marina's house in Gilm.
 Even so, many people still want to see Elena.
 Elena is originally nicknamed the princess general, and is said to be a symbol of the aristocracy.
 If you belong to the aristocracy, it's only natural to say hello, and there are many people who want to get to know you even if you're not from the aristocracy.
 Judging that today's men are either of them, Ray tells Seto to be free.
 Seto sees Yello off on his way to the courtyard for the first time in a while, and Ray enters the house.

"What's the matter, Mr. Ray?"

 Arla comes to the front door and says, "Did you notice someone came into the house?"
 You must have thought that the men who left were coming back, but let's say Ray came in. give a smile

"Oh, I'm sorry I've been away a little longer."
"No, I have heard from Mr. Dusker about the situation. However, if possible, I would like you to meet Elena the last time you come back.""I'm sorry. I was in a hurry last time. And Elena?"
"I'm in the living room. Excuse me, I have something to do. Take it easy, Mr.

 It was an overtly thoughtful Ray, but I have nothing particular to say about it because it would save me.
 I wanted to express my gratitude.
 Seeing Arla out of the house, Ray heads into the living room.
 Then Elena was waiting for Ray with a big smile.
 Elena, who inherited the magical stones of the Encient Dragon, has very keen senses.
 Even if you're in the living room, you can hear Ray and Arla talking in the front door.

(No, it's an earlier problem.)

 In the courtyard visible from the living room, Seto and Yello are running around playing.
 If Seto is there, there's no way Ray isn't there.

"Well... yes, I'm back."
"Welcome back. It seems to have been very late."
"Well, you know... there's a lot going on."
"A lot of things? Well, it seems like there really were a lot of things. Will you tell me the story about that slowly? By the way, I think Marina wants to hear about that, too. Vihera... seems to be with Ray."

 Elena looks at Ray as if she were looking through everything and says so.
 Even though Ray thinks that he doesn't have to show his true ability here...

"To put it simply, I was attacking a place in a different world where I thought it was the home of a pack of monsters called Dragonia."
"I know that."

 If you're talking to Dusker, it's only natural that you've heard about it.
 Or, if you don't know anything about Whisp, Dusker may have kept Ray's destination a secret, but unfortunately Elena knows everything about it.

"Then... yes. For some reason, Vihera came to the other world."
"...as I expected,"

 Elena rakes up her golden hair, as if the sun had turned into her hair, as if she had expected it to be.
 The man who led Dragonius had the scales of gold, but as far as Ray could see, Elena's hair was overwhelmingly superior even with the same money.

(Maybe that's why I was unconsciously thinking about gold scales and golden hair.)

 If you think like that, Elena opens her mouth.

"So, how are you doing, Vyhela? I don't think there's any problem with Vyhela.
"Yes, I was actually fighting Dragonius happily."
"... were you fighting? Was it yesterday that Vyhela headed there?"
"Oh, just. Before we could return, the village of Centaur was attacked by several dragons. It seems that Vihera knocked it down."
"It's also a very dangerous world,"
"No, it wasn't supposed to be such a dangerous world. It's just that Dragonius is too dangerous, but for Vihera, Dragonius seems to be just the right partner."

 Ray's words probably made Elena understand the general situation.
 Breathe out with a little dumbfounded.

"It's like a villa. Anyway, I'm glad that Vihera is safe. ...when I come back, I shall need to speak with him firmly."

 Elena said that with a powerful...that's exactly what Ray was going to do with a smile.
