Legend

"Heh... this is the blizzard.There's been some kind of connection in the basement lately. "

Negotiations with Nina were successfully concluded, and Ray is now in the middle of a blizzard.

Though Ajito is not an abandoned house for camouflage, it is a genuine Ajito that is properly prepared underground.

I didn't get in here the last time I came here, but this time it's different.

That's why while Ray was here, he looked at the surroundings in a rare way.

It's not just for Ray, it's for the others.

The only people here are those who know little about the Assassin Alliance.

However, this is not the way to see the Assassin Alliance with your own eyes... and the opportunity to see that azimuth.

That's why the Assassin Alliance is fearful, but somehow intriguing.

"Nevertheless, I knew there were thistles in the basement... but you've prepared a huge underground space so far."

Not to mention the basement... but Ray groans as he looks at such a huge giant giant giant house buried underground.

Not at all, but I don't think it's easy to make a place like this.

The biggest snowstorm in the Assassin Alliance might be able to imitate it, but naturally it stands out around you.

If there is a snowstorm here, it is enough to let the surrounding people know.

"The fact that the Golem industry is thriving doesn't mean it's hard to have a special golem."

Nina, the conductor, tells her that she hears Ray murmuring.

And it was naturally Ray... who responded to the word special golem, not the alchemists Irnara.

As far as Golem is concerned, it is not strange to make such a judgment because we are experts.

"Golem...? Golem for excavation?However, such a special golem..... "

"And, of course, when you drill, the sound sounds around you.I wonder if it's impossible to hide it and prepare a space like this. "

"Right. Ah, but look.I wonder where it was before... I thought there was a workshop that developed a device to reduce the driving noise generated by the Golem... "

"No, it's just a golem drive, isn't it?Well, I don't think excavation in the ground will work that well. "

Such a conversation comes from behind.

Until recently, I was a little bit overwhelmed, but this happened the moment the Golem topic came up.

Nevertheless, it would not be strange to think of people who are close to craftsmen.

"These asides... we're not the only ones who've ever been here, are we?"

"I don't think so. It's not uncommon to invite people to ask for help with a snowstorm.And... this is a delicate question, but it doesn't mean no one is asking us for protection. "

"I see. How many people think the same thing about me?"

"That's how it will be. However, the reason for the slight contact with Mr. Ray's case is different."

That's what Nina said, with a meaningful smile on her face.

It was a smile because we had strong confidence in our organization, Wind and Snow.

The Assassin Alliance, an organization that never gets to the forefront.

But if you think about it, it's because it's such an organization that you're proud of the organization you belong to.

"Guards... or assassin guilds that hide.What about a little assassin guild?I don't think so.... if you think about the scale of the snow and wind, it's not that strange. "

"I'm glad to hear that.... now, it's time to arrive in your room.You'll be living here for a while, so you may need to be careful, but please accept it. "

The first dialog goes to Ray, and the next dialog goes to the other faces... specifically to the hidden faces.

Those who were blinded by Nina's beauty nodded at Nina's words, even though they were stunned in the middle.

"I think the slave collar needs a little more time.I'm a busy person. "

I guess so.

To be honest, Ray doesn't know what it means to be busy.

Normally, however, the collar of a slave is not an easy alternative.

I understood enough about that for Ray.

That's why it makes no sense to say it here.

Of course, I don't want to be hostile to the existence of Ray if I try to make it snow and wind.I don't think so, but that's why I can't imitate everything Ray wants.

If you did that, it would be like challenging Ray to fight... or cutting the edge, apart from whether or not you can win as a snowstorm.

Even some assassins think Ray used it well for a blood blade.

As a result, I crushed the Assassin Alliance, which I was not happy about because it was a rival of the blood blade and a majestic attacker in the city, so it was never a bad result in that sense.

It wasn't a result, but it was never interesting that Ray used it well.

(In fact, some of the people who passed away looked at me in a frustrating way)

While traveling through this basement, I naturally crossed paths with some people on the way.

Beyond being here, the opponent who passed away as a matter of course was an assassin belonging to Snow and Wind, which is why some looked at Ray with frustration and dissatisfaction.

Still, I knew the difference in strength that I would never win if I fought Ray, so there was no one who could act directly.

Nevertheless, it is not strange for Anne and Ilnara, whom Ray brought, to come out to judge that Ray's acquaintances were not interested.

In that case, what happens if Ray leaves this place?

There is a sense that Snow and Wind are the largest Assassin Alliance in Exinis, and many have pride as assassins.

However, as the number increases, naturally some of them have personality problems.

The possibility that such people would give Anne and Ilnara some sort of joke could never be denied.

If you do something bad, the relationship between wind and snow and Ray will be fatal, and there will be a future where the worst wind and snow will devastate... many people will not think of it that far.

"Nina, just for the record, if there's a guy hanging a weird little trick on the people I keep..."

"Yes, if there is such a person, we will take care of it"

Of course, Nina already understood what Ray came up with.

Without saying anything until the end, Nina says it all.

Well then, I'll take care of it.

With Nina's assertion, Ray decides she can leave the matter to herself and says nothing else.

Nina decided that if she wanted to give Anne and Ilnara a a little something, she could understand that the worst future awaited her.

"Yes, I'll take care of it.... well, here we are."

That's what Nina tells me when she finishes talking to Ray.

Nina guided us to a section lined with several rooms.

"Please use one room for three people.I should have been able to relax a little more, but with this number.... "

In Nina's words, Ray once again looks at the number of people he brought in.

If you look at that, you can't deny Nina's words that one room is for three people.

No, you could say that you were lucky to have done so much.

If there were other people who were currently hidden, we couldn't deny the possibility that there would have been three, not four, five people in one room... maybe more.

"I don't mind. I'll have it hidden, so this is it.If there is anything else I can do to help, I will help you.After all, I worked in an orphanage, so I am good at housework in general.The kind of cooking..... "

"I'm sorry, but cooking is done by a professional."

Anne seemed disappointed in Nina's words, but this was a natural thing in a sense.

After all, eating is the best way to mix poison.

If this was an orphanage, Anne might have had a choice, but hate and this is the Assassin's Guild.

If you can't really trust someone, you can't just leave the meal to them.

Nevertheless, it's a bit odd that Ray brought Anne here to say that and not let her do anything.

It's also true that there are times when I don't have enough to do other things besides cooking....

"I might ask you to do laundry and cleaning, but do you mind?"

"Ah, yes! No problem!I'm good at that too! "

Originally, it is quite dangerous to put poison needles in clothes, even if it is washed, and to check for snow and wind in the sense of cleaning.

But it's still safer than cooking.

"Yes, and if there's anyone else who can help, I'd love to."

Yes, Nina smiles and tells her that if some of the women can do it themselves, and a considerable number of men are invited by Nina's beauty to participate.

Some of the Alchemists think so, or some of them will try to reach you, but Ilnara will stop you.

If it were Ilnara, the Alchemist would have been hesitant to help with the snow and wind.

That is why we cannot deny the possibility of giving our knowledge if the promise is overdue.

That is why it was necessary to think carefully about the technology that could be given to the wind and snow in case of an emergency.

In that sense, we can't send the alchemists for miscellaneous use.

"So... I'd like Ray-san to meet with the head of the blizzard from now on, is that okay?"

"From now on? A lot of sudden."

"Ray-sama came all of a sudden."

If that's the case, Ray can't pretend to challenge it in a circumstantial manner.

In fact, it is true that the situation is almost complete.

Initially... when I snuck into the Dolan Workshop, I was going to help Anne escape after I heard from the alchemist at the Dolan Workshop and got testimony and evidence that he was using people as materials.

However, when I actually broke into the Dolan Workshop, there were non-mainstream alchemists there, and there were many slaves besides Anne, and above all, I thought that they were using people as materials. In fact, they were using people's souls.

This is completely unexpected for Ray, and as a result of their stacking, it is completely impossible to carry them as originally planned.

The result was the current situation.

It sounds good to say it's ad hoc, but it's actually better to say it's a hit.

That's why Ray was surprised and convinced by Nina's words.

"Okay, I'll see you then. Am I the only one you want to see?Others don't usually exercise that hard, so I'm pretty tired of one thing tonight.I'd like to give you a break if I could. "

For Ray, tonight's events are not as exhausting.

But otherwise... for those who were slaves and alchemists like Irnara, they kept running from Dolan Workshop to Slum City, and even after entering Slum City, the speed was slower, but they kept walking...

It's already midnight in time, and it wouldn't be strange to be asleep normally, at that time.

Although Ray often worked as an adventurer in the middle of the night, it was also a fact that he was quite physically challenging for ordinary people.

(Well, an alchemist might be used to staying up all night.)

As an image in Ray, there is still a strong awareness that alchemists are people like those in Gilm.

But... no, that's why I have the impression that I'm fine all night because of my hobbies.

I didn't know it seemed that way.Ilnara had an expression of gratitude for Ray's words.
