Legend

"Absolutely, I was confident in my acting skills.... how did you know?

With that said, the maid takes the decoration that was putting her hair together behind her.

Then, the hair that stretches to the middle of your back waves beautifully.

The man next to Ray looks at his soft hair and makes his cheeks red as he sees his maid's glossy smile.

It would not be strange for a man to lose sight of the beauty of a woman who is well dressed.

But... Ray was looking not at the woman's face, but at the hair decorations she had.

Because there was a sharp needle stretching from the edge of the hairstyle held by the woman.

It's called a dark weapon.

Dark instrument.

It is a word that refers to concealed weapons.

It's not so wrong to think of it as an assassination weapon.

For example, Ray's nebula pupils are also classified as dark objects.

... but if you say so, Ray with the mystery won't let his opponent know that he has a weapon, so maybe all weapons are dark weapons.

You're an assassin, right?Who hired you?

"You know, do you think the assassin would bother telling his employer?Not to mention a first-class assassin like me. "

"A top assassin?For that matter, he was trying to kill this man, not me, the target?Besides, I could feel that killing in my room. "

"Gh... that's..."

The woman looks dissatisfied with Ray's words.

After seeing the woman, Ray was convinced that her assassin had come to kill herself.

Maybe... really. Maybe, but the assassin woman was after the man, not herself?The idea was in Ray's mind.

However, given the current exchange, there is no doubt that the woman was after Ray, not the man.

Nevertheless, it's just a simple confirmation for Ray.

I came to assassinate the man in front of the room and possibly to assassinate myself.

Either way, Ray would have been more likely.

"So, if you've been after me, of course you don't think you'll make it back safely, do you?

"What do you think? No matter how deep a red ray is, do you think you can do something about the assassin instead of fighting from the front?

"Oh, no problem.... what, you didn't know?I look like I've fought a lot of assassins before.

I assure you, Ray, the woman shows her intentions.

"Really?

Apparently, you knew Ray was strong, but you couldn't find out exactly what kind of activities he's been doing so far.

Of course, it is not strange to know about it if it was as flashy as the war with the Vestian Empire.

But it's hard to figure out what's going on out there... I don't suppose Ray was specifically targeted by an assassin.

(It's not strange to know about the connection between the Assassin Guilds... No, it's just that there's been a request for an assassination since I've been here, and the time it takes to get it done has been short?

It was Ray who had doubts, but she decided that she should catch the woman and then give up the information.

Somehow, I came to Egginis and was suddenly attacked the second day.

Perhaps the reason for this is the disappearance of the bandits.

I don't know where that story came from, but if anyone was involved in the Bandit's demise, Ray and Lindy would be in the way.

Or Goliath, not the bandit.

Thinking so much, Ray comes up with something.

(Does that mean I was targeted... and Lindy was in danger too!?

As a bandit, as a Goliath, if you're targeting an assassin because you're sniffing around, it's not just Ray you deserve, it's Lindy you were working with.

It tastes bad.

Ray is quite accustomed to being targeted by assassins, and it's easy to defeat an attacker.

But how about Lindy?

As an adventurer, I know you have arms there.

But that's just the way it is.

Apart from adventurers in Egginis, they often target humans as opposed to Gilm's adventurers, such as bandits and escorts, but not assassins.

Unlike opponents who attack from the front, assassins use poison, attack from behind, deceive… Anyway, kill the opponent rather than fight.

If you're a high-ranking adventurer, you might be able to deal with them, but it's hard with Lindy's strength.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time for you anymore."

"That sounds like you're saying you can win.I don't like it!

As she screams, the woman kicks the floor and fills the gap with Ray.

That scream... no, before that, what happened to the people who were renting both sides of Ray's room because of the sound of Ray blowing up the door and hitting the wall?I was opening the door like that, but Ray didn't care.

Anyone who stayed at this inn naturally hired an escort of commensurate strength and decided that the escort was not supposed to put the subject in such a place.

"Haah!

The woman tries to push the stretched hair ornament of the needle toward Ray.

An assassin's needle weapon.

That alone made Ray almost certain that there was something obviously suspicious.

Poison or something else... or something like that stuck to the needle.

I didn't know if I was using such a poison needle hair ornament, but it was not strange if there was an antidote for the assassin alone.

I'm sorry for taking such a blow, and I wanted to take it down safely... but now I need to check on Lindy.

In order to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible... while avoiding needle attacks, he waves his fist at the woman's torso.

If Ray were a normal... adventurer with many around her, the woman would have avoided the attack, and in some cases would have poked a needle in the hand trying to hit herself.

However, it was Ray, a rank A adventurer with an alias, who attacked.

A woman is beaten with a dove's tail before she knows what she has done, and in an instant she faints.

When he saw it, Ray glanced at the woman and opened his mouth to the man who was about to be killed by her the other day.

"Keep this woman.The guards... they'll taste bad, so I need you to call the hotel guards.I'm sending this other assassin to help my acquaintance. "

It is also the finest hotel in Egginis.

Apart from guests providing escorts, they also hire professional escorts at the inn.

... the assassin is inside the inn, so I wonder if I can completely trust him.

Still, I should have been able to pretend to hold the Stunned Assassin captive.

As an inn, the fact that guests were targeted by assassins should have been a better story than being told by security guards, just because they didn't want to spread the rumor.

However, the battle between Ray and the assassin was seen by the inhabitants of both rooms and the man in front of the room.

That said, it was close to impossible not to spread the rumor that guests had been targeted by assassins.

Still, moving is more likely to reduce the amount of rumors or control the flow of rumors than not moving anything.

I'm sure you'd appreciate Ray being so considerate.

"I need to go somewhere else now.Tell him I want information from this assassin when he gets back.Ready? "

"Huh? Ah, but... that's all I have..."

"If your husband has something to do with me, I'll ask him.I'm not sure I can fully respond to your request.So, what do you say?

"I see. Then."

When he understands that it is in his husband's interest, the man answers immediately.

I didn't think it was the same as the one who was confused to knock in front of the room.

That means a man swears allegiance to his master.

If so, Ray doesn't have to worry any more, and the woman of the Stunned Assassin leaves the hotel to the man and jumps out.

Should I call Seth for a second?I thought so, but Seth is not so well known in the present Egginis.

When Ray walks out, he walks as far as he can, but many people still think of the size of Egginis and have never seen Seto.

Still, many of you may have heard the rumors of Seto... but that's all I can say.

If such a person sees Seth, he will undoubtedly be in disturbance.

Ray understands that, so I decided to leave Seto here today....

"The inn where Lindy stayed was a sunset pavilion, right?... the question is where it is. "

If this were the case, I should have listened.

With such a shame, Ray wonders what to do.

If this is a luxury inn like Stargawa-tei, it is large and it is a splendid building to see, so it is not difficult to find.

But the sunset pavilion is where Lindy stays.

Cut down the cost of food as much as possible, save money for staying at the inn, and only Lindy sends as much money as possible to the orphanage. Naturally, it will be a cheap accommodation to stop.

... even at a cheap lodging, Lindy is a woman.

I don't think you're staying in a place like a fish sleeping quarters, but you're staying at the very least... but it's still very difficult to find it in the current situation.

"Shit. You want to come back?

If you are an employee of Hoshinogawatei, you cannot deny the possibility that you know an inn called Morning Pavilion because it is the same inn.

Nevertheless, they have already jumped out of the star pavilion and run some distance.

It seemed like a loss of time to go back to Stargawa Pavilion and ask where the sunset pavilion was.

"I can't help it. I have no choice but to believe that Lindy is staying in a place that's harder to find in the back alley."

If so... Ray looks around, but the sun is already setting, and many of the people walking around are drunk.

Regardless of face-to-face, if someone like Ray talks to you in a drunk situation like this, you don't know how the other person will behave.

If you're in a good mood, maybe you can listen.

However, in the case of someone who was drunk or involved in alcohol, there was a good chance that he would become dissatisfied with Ray's words.

Given the circumstances around it, I still think it would be better to ask another person here.

(So who is it?Information broker? No, I still don't know what kind of information broker there is in Exgenis, and I don't know if I can be trusted if there is an information broker)

The word "informant" comes to mind here, and Ray must be quite confused.

In addition, an informant can be quite helpful if he is a competent opponent, but if he is incompetent... or if he is a malicious self-styled informant, it is only harmful.

"What's wrong, customer?

And the owner of the stall, a little far away, called out to Ray.

Whether there are few accidental customers now or whether the owner's skills are bad... there are no customers in front of the stall right now.

Did you talk to Ray about it as a client, or did you talk about it as a waste of time?

Anyway, Ray tries to say that he doesn't have time to talk to the stall owner... and he remembers that what he is looking for is not an agitation of the back organization, but a normal place to stay.

If that's the case, you don't have to imitate listening to the informant, but you just have to listen to the location of the morning kiosk normally.

In so doing, Ray goes to the stall where the owner is calling.

"Don't you know where the inn is?

"I understand. What, is your brother staying at the Sunset Pavilion?Are you lost?

"It's not like that... but I have a little errand to go to the sunset pavilion, and I don't know where it is.Can you tell me where it is?

As an amount of information, take a few pieces of copper out of the mystery ring and place them on the stall.

Of course, make it look like it came out of the robe.

The shopkeeper opened his mouth with a smile at Ray's words.
