Legend

"Here.... I knew it was in this place."

I heard from the owner of the stall that the place of the sunset pavilion was not as far as the slum town, but it was still an inn in the back street.

Those who can afford money will not stay at the inn.

... but the sunset pavilion in this place was beautiful as an inn on the back street.

(I hope Lindy stays in the inn later.... No, if Lindy was in the inn, he could be attacked by an assassin, so should I stay out of the inn?

With that in mind, Ray enters the sunset pavilion.

The inn is not that big, so there are no restaurants.

It's really just a place to stay.

That's why the accommodation fee is also appropriate.

"Are you a customer?

A middle-aged woman at the counter calls out to Ray as she sees him entering the inn.

Ray shook his head against such a woman and told him what to do.

"I think Lindy is staying at this inn, do you know if she's still here?

The moment you say that, the clerk's gaze changes to look at the person who seems suspicious.

Of course not. Because Ray now wears a dragon robe hood and hides his face.

I couldn't be more suspicious when I thought he said he had errands for someone staying at his place.

I'm sure Ray understood what he was thinking.

Remove the hood and reveal your face.

Hee.

The clerk looked at Ray's face and said a word of admiration.

His face was well regarded as a woman's face, and it interacted with Ray's atmosphere, giving off a suspicious charm that attracted the eyes of those who saw it.

"I'm Ray. Unlike Lindy... I'm not a party member, but a friend... no, do I know her?That's the relationship, but I want you to call Lindy.If Ray were here, he'd know. "

The clerk looks lost in Ray's words.

As a clerk, Lindy is a regular member of this inn, and the clerk is also adorable.

That's why I wonder if it's okay to call someone I've seen for the first time just because they're calling.

I'm lost.....

"Hurry up. Maybe Lindy is being targeted by an assassin."

"Ha!?

The clerk was surprised at Ray's words.

It's only natural that an assassin should not be the target of a normal life.

And if Lindy is being targeted by an assassin....

The clerk's gaze at Ray sharpens.

That's why I thought Lindy might have been targeted by an assassin because of Ray.

In fact, that reasoning is not entirely wrong.

Ray listened to Goliath and went bandit hunting today to solve one of them.

That's all I can think of as a reason to send an assassin.

(It is possible that someone who wants to take Roger or Seth will send an assassin, but in that case, Lindy will not send an assassin, and he will only come after me.)

Even though he was pulled out of the Dolan Workshop, it doesn't change that Roger is one of the top alchemists in Egginis.

Ray gave Roger Oaknaga's materials and asked him to make a golem.

If you think it's not funny, it's no wonder you sent an assassin to Ray.

As far as seto is concerned, it is not strange for anyone to target ray if they think that it is not possible to obtain it without killing ray.

However, whether or not Ray can be killed so easily is a different story, and even if he succeeds in killing Ray, it would be subtle if he were told that Seth would be the killer.

"Anyway, what happened to the assassin...."

"Ray?"

I want you to investigate.

Ray tried to say that, but he turned to the voice he heard from the stairs leading upstairs.

That's Lindy Ray was looking for.

"Lindy, are you okay?

"Eh? Safe?" What?

The words made it clear that Lindy had not been attacked by an assassin.

Originally, if Lindy had been attacked by an assassin, it would have been very difficult to defeat it, and it would have been Ray's mistake to think that Lindy would have been attacked.

"An assassin, assassin.An assassin came to the inn after me.That's why I thought Lindy was in danger... but apparently, Lindy wasn't targeted. "

"Assassin!?

Lindy shouted in surprise at the words out of Ray's mouth.

Even if you're not a high-ranking adventurer, you don't have any secrets, and you're not from an aristocrat or a big merchant, but an orphanage.

You never imagined that Lindy would be targeted by an assassin.

"Oh. I thought you didn't like the fact that someone was looking into Goliath's case... but then, of course, Lindy and I would have attacked.Then the assassin sent me something that had nothing to do with it. "

"... you don't seem particularly afraid of being targeted by an assassin."

"It's not like this is the first time an assassin's ever targeted me."

Lindy had a look on Ray's face that she couldn't understand.

As far as Lindy is concerned, the assassin is not a ghost... but he still thought it wasn't something that involved him.

"Anyway, if you're okay... what do you want me to do?You want to tell me a little more about it?Or if that's enough, I'm going home. "

As Ray, I could have told Lindy a little more about it here, or I could have gotten some information from the assassin who went back to the inn and stunned him once about who his employer was.

Lindy decided immediately when she said that it was up to Lindy to choose.

"Tell me a little more about it.... will you come to my room?We can't talk here. "

"Okay."

The clerk woman tried to say something to Lindy, but Ray nodded before it.

That settles the story, and Ray goes to the stairs.

"Well... I guess so.Lindy admitted it. "

After all, the clerk decided not to pry further because Lindy had called her into the room.

After all, the word "assassin" has been spoken for a long time.

I understood that there was no point in saying something when I was working in a cheap lodging.

Or if Lindy were younger... she would have said something about it.

However, Lindy is an adult and has been an adventurer for several years.

If that's the case, I didn't have to say anything here, so... I went back to work.

"Sit down."

That said, Lindy advises Ray to sit on the bed.

If this were a more expensive inn, it wouldn't be strange to have one of the chairs, but instead of having a cheaper room for the morning sunset pavilion, there was a bed in the room.

It's really just a place to sleep.

That's why Ray and Lindy sat on the bed together... but if it wasn't for this situation, Lindy would be sitting on the bed alone with the man in the room, and it wouldn't be strange to be illuminated.

But now I've been told about the assassin, and I can't afford to think about it, though not so much.

Some people believe Ray saved the orphanage.

"So, let me tell you something... but there's no joke or anything like that, and the assassin really attacked you, right?

"That's how it is. Nevertheless, it wasn't that smart."

Ray thought of assassins who had been attacked in the Vestian Empire before.

Assassins who attacked today are clearly less skilled than such assassins.

Not only that, but is it really professional to try to kill the man who was in front of the room because he was in the way before he killed Ray, the assassin?There was a feeling in Ray.

Of course, Ray didn't understand why he wanted to get rid of it because he was in the way to assassinate the target, but I don't think that's why he's going to expose it right in front of Ray's room.

In other words, Ray seemed to think the opponent had low skills as an assassin.

Nevertheless, the skill may have meant that Egginiss was able to operate adequately.

"I didn't come here for an assassin, but... does that have anything to do with the bandits or with Mr. Goliath?

"I don't know.If there is a possibility of sending an assassin while I am involved, I will aim for the material and give Roger the rare material so that he can make a golem on the condition that it is.And the rest is about the disappearance of the bandits, including Goliath. "

Ray thinks it's still about the bandits and Goliath, if he's the most likely to be targeted.

"Otherwise... yes.I can't deny the possibility that whoever hates me for any reason just decided it was right to come to Egginis and let the assassin go. "

Ray never dreams that he is not being resented by others.

I thought it was helpless to be resented by a lot of people who have been acting in Elgin.

And there are a lot of nobles and big merchants in Egginis, and they found Ray and sent an assassin... and I can't deny it.

Still, I sent someone who couldn't be called a top assassin because of the presence of the underlying organization that I was able to contact for a short period of time after I learned of Ray's existence.

Honestly, Ray doesn't know about the area either.

In the first place, it was Ray's prediction that someone who had a grudge against him sent an assassin.

If you think so, it would still be impossible to honestly believe in this case.

"I wish that assassin had been sent to me alone, but I can't deny the possibility that Lindy will send him.It's better not to be alarmed. "

"Even if they say so...."

Lindy is puzzled by Ray's words.

If you think of Lindy, you didn't expect to be targeted by an assassin at all.

That's why I wonder what to do if an assassin really attacked me.

(I know you're not surprised when you get attacked.)

Ray thinks so with some ease, but it never makes sense.

Lindy is scared just by the word assassin.

Humans have no fear of the unknown.

If that unknown becomes known, there will be no fear, but it will definitely decrease somewhat.

Assassins in particular are those who literally work to kill people.

However, it is not strange that the meaning of the word assassin is even creepy.

In that sense, if I could actually encounter the assassin and cut through it once, it wouldn't be strange for Lindy to be as scared as she is now.

The question is whether Lindy will survive that once.

"If anything, will you work with me for a while?If there's an assassin coming, it's probably bigger that you're after me, but I think it's easier if you're with me anyway. "

"I don't want to hear that.If I'm acting solo, it's okay, but I'm at a party.In that case, I can't just imitate myself, can I?

It was a natural word for an adventurer who was partying.

Don't bother the party with your own self.

The party member is a kind opponent, so he may accept it even if it bothers him a little... but Lindy can't accept it.

Alternatively, even if they are kind friends, there is no denying the possibility that they can't party together because of this.

If Lindy finds out that a party member is being targeted by an assassin, there's something she thinks about it.

"Even if they say so.I can't be with you at your party. "

So Ray looked at Lindy in trouble.
