Legend

After dinner in the dining hall, Ray and the others leave and continue the conversation in Ray's room.

... some of the people in the cafeteria tried to talk to Ray, and some tried to talk to Marka, but they were both out of their minds.

"What about the bandits? Today, Ray's brother saw other adventurers defeating the bandits, right?

"Huh? Oh, yeah.Looks like Lindy's adventurers. "

"So the adventurers don't know anything?

"... I wonder.I didn't look like I was planning something.... "

So Ray cut the words once.

Originally, Lindy and I had the same skill at the beginning of the word... not strong, not weak, so I didn't think I could do anything like erase the bandits on my own.

Today's bandits were talking about being around Egginis for quite a long time, but they never stood out in terms of strength.

That's enough for Lindy's adventurers.

... but since the adventurers knew the area well and were asked to crush the bandits, it may have been natural to win.

"Bandits, bandits.... don't worry about disappearing after all.Could I have my concubine turn a little more?

Marka's words meant using the power of the Duke of Quentin, not leaving it to Nicky.

This is not the territory of the Duke of Quent, and we can't do that much more than it is quite far away, but it is only a comparison to the Duke of Quent territory.

Generally speaking, with the help of the Duke of Quentin, there should have been enough information gathered in Egginis.

But in response to Marka's suggestion, Ray shook his head sideways.

"No, I'll stop it.I'm worried about one thing this time, but there's something more important than that right now. "

Marka soon realized it was about Goliath.

That's why you open your mouth to Ray.

"Could the bandits and Goliath be connected?If so, I think it would be better to study the area thoroughly?

"Maybe.Besides... I don't want to owe much to the Duke of Quentin, either, Marka personally. "

Marca is friendly to Ray, but not even to the Duke of Quent.

No, I think we had a friendly relationship when we were asked to do this by the Duke of Quentin, but as a Duke, we needed to think more about factions than personal feelings, and above all about the interests of our home.

Not to mention Ray, who is now said to be Dasker's kaiser, which is not a friendly relationship with the Kings.

Nevertheless, Marca did not feel like trusting Ray from the bottom of her heart, as she understood the existence of a nobleman who had grown small in Marca.

"If Ray says so, I wouldn't say it's impossible... but it's not about the bandits, so if there's anything you want me to look into, I want you to rely on your concubine."

"Ah... that's right.Well, I don't care about the bandits, so can you gather some information about the Goliath Adventurer?Just a short distance from here is an adventurer from an orphanage in the city. "

"Are you sure?

I've asked you to confirm the meaning of the word, but I don't need to think about it.

I owe myself... to the Duke of Quent, to be precise, but is that okay?

He asks in the dark without saying so.

As for Ray, it's not a bit funny to owe the Duke of Quentin money for a bandit, but it's also true that I think we should find out about Goliath as soon as possible.

(Nevertheless, I wouldn't have to push my neck that far.)

If you think calmly, you can't honestly nod to Goliath if he tells you that you need to borrow information from the Duke of Quent.

If you think about how much you need to do, there is no doubt that you don't need to do it.

But nevertheless... it is true that I have more to think about than I know about the current state of the orphanage.

It's true that Lindy wants to see who she's so worried about.

"Please."

After all, Ray asks for just one short word.

Marka doesn't say anything further, she just nods.

If you're a young lady, you'll be delighted.

"Ha... hah?What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden!?

Nikki, watching Ray and Marka, suddenly said such a thing.

Not only Marca, but Ray also looked at Nicky and wondered why she said that all of a sudden.

Nikki continued her words without seeming to care about them.

"After all, you wanted to help Ray's brother, right?Then don't dress strangely and be honest with me. "

"Nah... what are you saying all of a sudden!?

Marka shows how impatient she is.

However, Nicky was laughing at the person she was supposed to escort and didn't seem to care at all.

"Gunu... remember!Let's go! "

I'm guessing Marca was going to help Ray.

But I didn't imitate it because of the smell.... honestly, I didn't want to.

However, when Nicky exposed his thoughts, he became angry... and smelled and jumped out of Ray's room to deceive him.

"You know what, make me angry?It's going to be hard to fix up, isn't it?

I see. But... there's no doubt that the young lady was worried about Ray's brother.I think it's better to keep it close. "

Judging by the words, Nikki's words were intentional, knowing everything.

Ray looks at Nicky in a daze.

Nicky looks down at Ray.

"Well then, Ray's brother.I'm going to go fix my daughter's mood.The young lady is usually quite gentle, but I'm scared to piss her off. "

"... then, I don't think we should imitate this from the beginning.Well, that's fine. All right, all right.Good luck fixing your mood.If Marka stays upset, it's gonna be a lot harder to find out about Goliath. "

Given Marka's personality, you may not have to worry about the area.

But Marka is still a child.

Normally, I didn't know what to do if I was in a bad mood.

That's why I want Nicky to fix Marka's mood as soon as possible.

From Ray's appearance, I guess I understood what you were thinking.

Nicky greets Ray and then leaves the room.

Ray, who had missed Nicky, stood up from the sofa where he was sitting and fell down on the bed.

It's a luxury inn, and the bed doesn't hold Ray's weight or make any noise.

(Speaking of which, this bed, the futon... no, the mattress is a low-rebound mattress from the touch, right?It feels like my body is sinking.I remember watching a high-rebound mattress on TV or something... I wonder)

Again, I understand that there is no point in thinking about mattresses in the current situation.

Nevertheless, there is nothing in particular to do today.

That's what I thought.....

Someone's here.

I see someone in front of the door.

For a moment I thought I was just passing in front of Ray's room, and when I saw it stopping in front of the room, it wasn't hard to predict that it was something I had to do.

Still, the slow opponent in front of the door did not knock the door immediately, and there was no appearance of saying anything in front of the door as if confused.

-What do we do?

I got a little lost, but when I thought about it, I decided I didn't have to bother talking to myself here and left it alone.

Given what we've come here to do, there's no doubt that he's not Marka or Nicky, he's totally irrelevant.

It is not difficult to predict that it will be troublesome later if you imitate such a person by taking the trouble to speak from Ray.

That's what I thought... there's another sign of someone else approaching besides the confused one in front of Ray's door.

Will there be one more?

I hope it won't be a hassle... but I thought it was Ray, but as if such Ray's words were a flag, it would be a ruthless atmosphere outside the door.

Given the current situation, we can't just leave it like this.

If we leave this alone, we may not have any trouble with ourselves in the worst room.

That's how I got up.....

"Hmm!?

As he tried to move forward in front of the door, Ray was surprised to see an obvious killer from one of the people in front of the door, kicking the ground towards the door.

From the position of the signs, I knew that the person right in front of the door was letting out a lethal air.

And the signs of those who are not letting go are on the corridor side, not the door.

That's why Ray kicks the door open without any particular hesitation.

With the sound of gagging, the door opens and blows away the killer who was right before it.

In the meantime, make sure you don't have to worry about someone being killed in front of your room, and check the hallway again.

It was a man in his twenties who remained there without being blown away.

As you can see from being in the Stargawa Pavilion, the clothes are fine, even if they are not flashy and they serve the right person.

The man looks at Ray as if something had happened.

In fact, Ray was the only one who felt murdered, and the man doesn't know why Ray suddenly jumped out of the room.

Are you okay?

"Huh? Ah, yes.That's... that's Mr. Rey, isn't it?What the hell are you doing...?

"Didn't you notice?The guy in front of that door was gonna kill you.

"Are you going to kill me? Uh, well, is she?

The man looks confused and looks at the person whose door is blown away.

Ray followed the gaze with a surprise expression.

Because the person who fell against the wall on the floor... was also a woman wearing maid's clothes.

It is not uncommon to find armed maids in animations, games, novels, and cartoons that Ray enjoyed when he was in Japan.

Also, in this world, it was not uncommon for a maid to have the skill of battle rather than an armed maid...

The maids are those who are always by their masters' side.

That being said, if your husband is targeted by an assassin, it would certainly be very useful if he were a maid capable of dealing with it.

... but, of course, not many maids have that kind of combat skills.

Of course not. We have to work as a maid, hone our combat skills, and maintain a certain standard at the very least.

(Nevertheless, not necessarily a maid with combat skills just because he was letting go of his lethal energy.Killing is something that can be fired even if you don't have combat skills.)

Maybe an amateur tried to kill a man in a seizure for some reason.

With that in mind, Ray checks on the maid.

"Stun... doesn't seem like anything else."

Huh?

The man listens to Ray and makes a strange expression.

From a man's point of view, the fallen maid is not moving at all.

I guess that's what I thought, blown up by a blow to the door and stunned by that momentum hitting the wall.

In fact, it is not strange for someone who knows nothing to recognize that a maid who doesn't seem to move at all is fainting.

But... considering the signs and breathing sounds, it was clear that the maid wasn't fainting and was staring at the gap.

"Give up. You can't pretend to be stunned."

"... I'm sorry."

You realized Ray's words weren't bluffs, they were true.

The maid who had fallen on the floor said so lightly... he woke up with a glossy smile that he didn't think would come to mind.
