Legend

Ray and Seth, who entered the orphanage, saw the children running around the garden cheerfully.

As if she'd forgotten about Anne... or if she didn't care at all, Ray wonders when she sees the children running around.

Anne would have been a very dependable sister or mother to the children.

But why do you behave like you don't care so much?

I think so. When I looked at the children again, I was somehow convinced by seeing that they were among the children and those who should be called younger groups.

(Even though Anne is gone, she doesn't notice... or do you think she'll come back even if she's gone?)

Thinking like that, some adults emerge from the orphanage.

After seeing such an adult, Ray understood that he was not surprised.

From what I saw, it seemed that the adults managed to put up with their depressing expressions.

"Seth, stay with the kids.I'm going to do some errands. "

Gru!

In Ray's words, I understand!And Seth went to the garden with his throat rang.

Then the children cheered to Seth, who appeared.

You probably didn't forget about Seto, who played with you a while ago.

... but I can't tell you how easy it is to forget something as impressive as Seth.

At a glance at the children delighted by Seto's presence, Ray turns to the adults who have come out of the orphanage.

I was with Anne when I came to this orphanage.

Looking at it in appearance, it is still in its twenties, so I think it would be better to describe it as an adult in a real sense.

"That's Ray, isn't it?Why the hell are you here? "

That said, the woman looks at Ray with half expectations and half anxiety.

You already know that Camilla is headed for Exinis.

That's why she has a mix of expectations and anxiety, like whether Camilla arrived safely in Egginis… or whether she came to let us know that Camilla's body was found near Egginis.

To reassure such a woman, Ray talks about the important things first.

"Don't worry, Camilla has arrived safely in Egginis.Now Lindy is protecting it. "

In Ray's words, the woman shows relief from the bottom of her heart.

"Is that true?"

"Oh, I'm here to let you know about Anne.... I keep this from Lindy. "

That's what Ray handed over the letter he took out of the misteling.

A woman receives a letter written by Lindy as if she were afraid.

And when I read the letter in haste, I found it reassuring.

"I'm glad... Camila is safe..."

Normally, it is very unlikely that we will arrive from Bourdon to Exinis.

If you think so, it's only natural to feel relieved to see that Lindy has secured Camilla.

"Oh, and about Anne...."

In that word, the woman hurriedly raised her face.

Then he looks at the garden and sees the children playing with Seth and prompts Ray to enter the building.

"Ray, I'm sorry, can you tell me about Anne in the orphanage?I don't want my children to hear too much. "

"I don't care, but what do those kids think?There was Camilla, and I knew the kids were crying. "

"I'm just going out for a while now, and I think I'll be right back...Anne was loved by the kids.I'm a little older... if I were Camilla, I'd know about the area. "

Ray briefly told the woman that she looked painful and murmured.

"Really? I can't thank you enough for all your help."

A room in an orphanage.

So Ray lowered her head deeply from the 50-year-old woman who was the director of the orphanage.

Everyone but those who couldn't get together in the room had their heads down towards Ray, just like the director.

"No, we did it on our own.You don't have to worry about that. "

"No, but still... the letter said he would pay for Anne's return.I have no idea how to thank you for that... "

Ray, money is a quick substitute for taking orders, hunting bandits, and selling the materials of monsters in the mystery ring.

Beyond that, it is difficult to be thanked so far.

But that's what I think because it's Ray.

If you think of many people other than Ray, it's not like you can easily make money like Ray.

Not to mention that the orphanage was in trouble with the money and sold Anne as a slave, so there was no doubt that she was very cynical about the money.

If that's the stranger, not Ray, who pays Anne to buy her back, I wonder if she believed in such a stranger.

Thanks to Ray, who helped Camilla and distributed food, including meat, the orphanagers could honestly believe it.

"Anyway... Anne said it was because of the debt, but could you tell me more about it?"

"Yes, I actually need a lot of money to run this orphanage.Until now, it was made up of the help of the children who left the orphanage and the willingness of this city..... "

"I remember hearing that story a little bit.I wonder if a guy like Gerby got cut off at the top of the Chamber of Commerce. "

"... yes, but I can't just abandon the children in this orphanage, so I borrowed money from Garby."

I see, Ray is convinced.

If it were Garby, the orphanage would have decided that there was no point in helping with the money.

Or did you intend to profit from the aid you received until you became president of the Chamber of Commerce?

"I understand, but isn't it too soon to enslave Anne?I've heard that it's been the last few years since Gerby and I became presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, right? Then.... "

"It seemed that Anne had been tampered with in the contract and asked if she would become a slave or give up the land of this orphanage, so Anne would become a slave."

"This land? But why?What do you mean, this orphanage is on the edge of Bourdon, and it's not a convenient place, is it? "

That's what Ray remembered when he was in Japan.

If a high-rise road, railroad, or some large building were to be built, the price of the land would rise dramatically.Ray remembered seeing it on TV or something.

Those who use it and have quick access to the information are doing things like buying such land in advance and making a difference by selling it.

Perhaps there is something like that on the land of this orphanage.

"Director, may I ask... have you ever heard of any kind of redevelopment or new building in this city?"

"No, I've lived in this city for a long time, so I'd hear about it naturally, but I've never heard of it.Besides... I don't think Gerby's goal is land. "

From Ray's words, the director shook his neck to the side, knowing what he was thinking.

Ray, concerned about the way he said it with some confidence, asks the director frankly a question.

"Why do you think that?"

"Because Garby told me that she would write off her debt for the money she sold Anne as a slave."

"That's...."

The words from the dean's mouth were quite unexpected to Ray.

That means that Garby wanted Anne from the beginning, not the orphanage.

I had some thoughts about that in Egginis… but I had concluded that Anne was not personally targeted because she didn't want to be her slave, but sold her off as a slave.

However, as far as I can hear from the director again, I can only think of Anne as targeting an individual.

"Why Anne?"

"I don't know, but if I don't know... if Ray could help me buy Anne back, it might be the same thing again.No, of course I will try not to be the same..... "

"I don't think so."

Yes, Ray assures you.

Until he did quite a little work, he made Anne into a slave and sold her off to Egginis.

Ray doesn't know exactly why he did it.

But if Garvey finds out that Anne is still back in the orphanage, she'll do the same thing again.

As the director says, I may never get caught in the same hand again.

However, that meant that there was a good chance that it would get caught if another means were used.

Not to mention that, as Ray has heard, the Chamber of Commerce chaired by Gerby is the largest in Bourdon and has as much influence as of course.

As such, it is difficult to ignore the necessities that are naturally used in the life of orphanages, even if they are purchased from Garby's shop.

Even though Bourdon is a city in size, there are shops outside of the Garby Chamber of Commerce, but it was still close to being under the umbrella of the Garby Chamber of Commerce in the middle of the year.

"Then... in order to hear more about the situation, it would be best to hear it directly from him.Nevertheless, I can't believe I'm entering the store in this situation.... "

I can't help it.

It was Ray who tried to say that, but one of the five senses of his body created by the gate of Zepile, hearing, succeeds in hearing the anger that came from outside the orphanage.

"What? Looks like someone's coming?It's like someone's yelling at a kid. "

"Hmm!? No way...."

Something came to mind about Ray's words. The director stood up from the chair where he was sitting and hurried out of the room.

The rest of the staff followed suit, and naturally Ray followed suit.

Someone's coming. It yells at the other child.

That's what I told the director, Ray, but there's only one person I can think of to imitate in the current situation.

- Was it Gerby? Maybe he came to the orphanage for some reason... but in that case, I think it's too late.)

Ray came to the orphanage and suddenly came when she was talking to the director.

That's why it's not strange to think that you were measuring the timing.

But why at this time? I also have questions.

Where Ray and Seth are, getting into an orphanage is generally considered a suicide.

That being the case, Ray couldn't believe he deliberately imitated such a thing.

Nevertheless, even if Ray doesn't believe it, the fact that it's actually happening is a fact.

When I left the orphanage and went to the courtyard with questions about what was going on right now... in a sense, Ray's vision was as expected.

"Whoa! I'm telling you to give me that griffon!That's what Mr. Garby ordered!You can't hear that! "

You're screaming like that, adventurer... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I didn't really know who he was, but at least he looked like that in Ray's eyes.

"Please stop! This child is your servant!This is not how we can do it! "

The staff of the orphanage in the garden screamed desperately, but the men who heard the words smiled and opened their mouths.

"Hee, can I say that?If you say so, I can't expect any more of Garby's warmth. "

According to the words, the staff of the orphanage regretted but could not say anything.
