Legend

"Nh... fuah..."

Ray, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up feeling a sign of someone entering the living room.

You don't wake up like this when you're sleeping in an inn or at Marina's house.

Still, I woke up quickly because the situation is still dangerous.

Normally, she stays asleep for at least five minutes, but now the moment she senses someone new entering her room, she wakes up and looks at the person with a light stretch.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"

"Never mind. I thought it was time to get up.Besides, don't you have to go to bed yet, Camilla? "

Ray called out to Camila, who came to the living room from her room.

Last night's disturbance was supposed to have happened, but by the time Ray came back, there was no Camilla in the room.

I probably woke up at first, but I thought I was tired and asleep... and because of that, only Camilla woke up early while the other adults were still asleep.

It was possible that I got up early because I was a child, regardless of such a thing.

"Yeah, because Anne's sisters were still asleep."

"So why are you here... hey, you're not thinking of leaving the room, are you?"

"Uhh...."

It was probably a picture star from where I got stuck in words.

If this were normal, Ray wouldn't say anything in particular.

But we still don't know if last night's disturbance completely eliminated the intruders.

I know Camilla's curiosity is strong, and I know she has a high ability to act.

... otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to Exgenis to help Anne.

But this time, no matter how powerful we are, we can't let Camilla go.

"Don't leave the room now.... you won't be able to leave in the first place. "

Ray recalls that Crowe brought his sleeping sofa and said that he would take turns to escort each of them.

Of course, escorting the people in this room is already outside the door.

In fact, if Ray looks for signs, there are signs of two people outside the door.

Today, yesterday, I realized that I was able to act immediately if anything happened, rather than knowing when the assassin would show up.

"Er... why?... is that it?Is Ray's couch different from yesterday's? "

It was Camilla who seemed dissatisfied with Ray's words, but it seemed like she was a child who quickly moved on to other places of interest.

"I can't use the sofa I used until yesterday anymore.I got a replacement for you. "

That's how Ray taps the back of the sofa.

I expected it to be more luxurious than the couch Ray used yesterday, but in fact, this couch was quite a sleepy couch.

Slow down!

"No, what is it?"

"Ray, I'm just using a new one!"

"You're sleeping in bed, right?"

If you were asked whether you could sleep on the sofa or the bed, most would say bed.

You can turn around in bed, but if you're going to turn around on the sofa, you can fall to the floor if you're bad.

In that sense, Camilla's words were half unreasonable, to say the least.

(Ah, but if Camilla's body is small, can she turn around on the sofa?... that's why I'm talking about anything.)

Sleeping on the sofa isn't that comfortable for Ray.

But for Camilla, Ray would be jealous of sleeping on the sofa, even though she's absolutely told to sleep in bed.

Because Ray usually does things he can't do, so he wants to try them.

"Whatever happened to my couch, don't leave the room today.It would be dangerous if there were one. "

"Er...."

Looking at Camilla like that, I think Ray is a little dangerous.

It's a strange confidence that I've come all the way to Egginis alone.

I may have qualities that are actually hidden, but the qualities that are hidden are still hidden now.

If you encounter an assassin left behind by a blizzard last night, you will be killed if you fail.

No matter how lucky you are, you'll be taken hostage.

"Leave the room and you'll die.And Anne will be sad if you die.If you want to get out of the room knowing that, you can do whatever you want.... but I don't think the guards outside the room will let me through quietly anyway. "

That said, Camilla would have decided that there was no point in saying anything more.

Near boring, sitting on a sofa different from the one Ray is using.

"But it's boring to be locked up in a room like this all day."

If you were a child like Camilla, you wouldn't be able to stand being in the room.

Still, I was working with Anne yesterday, helping with some cleaning.

"Even if they say so.What if Camilla walks around alone and encounters an enemy? "

"That's...."

"I'm telling you, there's no escape."

That's what Ray says before Camilla says anything.

In fact, there is no doubt that Camilla is smart as a child.

But if you encounter the survival of the intruder who broke in yesterday, you won't be able to escape.

Not to mention, if there was a leftover intruder, I'd be more comfortable than running away from being found by a snowstorm assassin.

No matter how she acted, there was no doubt that Camilla would be helpless if she encountered such a person.

"That's...."

While resenting Ray's question, Camilla couldn't say anything.

You understand that if you actually encounter an enemy, there's nothing you can do about it.

Camilla is only a child after all, even though she has the ability to act.

Of course, there are children in the world who are stronger than adults.

Of course, however, there are a few such children, and Camilla is not.

"You see? Then be quiet today.Tomorrow... it may still be a little difficult, but if it gets a little safer, I'll be able to walk with Anne. "

That being said, Ray expects that maybe Anne will run faster than expected.

According to what Ray heard, Anne's cleaning skills are quite high, whether she was trained while working at the orphanage.

That said, there was ample possibility to ask Anne to help clean up the mess yesterday.

If Anne were to be asked to clean up, she would naturally need an escort.

Even with the escort, Ray seemed likely to want Anne's cleaning technique...

The fact that a snowstorm assassin would be escorted to clean meant that there would not even be enough manpower, but Anne's cleaning technique could be judged more beneficial.

"Hey, Ray-chan, what do you got?"

"I don't care what they say.I don't have any toys in particular. "

Ray's mystery contains a lot of stuff, but there is no child toy in it.

I'm afraid the monster atlas is the only thing that comes to mind when they ask me if I have any tools to waste my time.

But it's not a tool for Ray to squash time - I don't deny that there's a side to it - but it's essential to find out which part of the monster he defeated as an adventurer will be used as a material, a proof of crusade, or if it's edible.

Even if you're wrong, you can't afford to lend it to a white kid like Camilla, and it can't be torn or dirty.

Even so, books are expensive in this Elgin.

Because printing technology is not well developed, it is all handwritten.

That's why books are so expensive to get into a library that they need a lot of money.

There are also stores that sell books, but it is basically impossible to imitate reading like a Japanese bookstore.

Ray couldn't easily lend a book like that to Camilla.

"Er... you have something. Look, Brother Ray seems quite famous."

"Even if they say so."

Would you like to give me your weapon?Though I thought so, I immediately rejected it.

Camilla would be happy to receive a weapon, but when she acts with a weapon, it is dangerous.

It doesn't mean you won't hurt yourself or anyone else around you.

Ray has some awkward things to do if Camilla or anyone else gets hurt.

Beyond that, I hesitated to hand over my weapon in a circumstantial manner.

(Ah, the iron ingot... wasn't there anymore)

Ray thought of the huge amount of iron ingots he took from the bandits, but he already gave it to Snow and Wind as a reward for hiding Anne and the others.

Even if I gave him the ingot, Ray didn't know how Camilla would use it, but I thought I'd use it for something to play with.

However, because iron ingots weigh a lot, it may not be very interesting to play with them.

"In the meantime... why don't you just play around with Lindy?"

If Lindy hears Ray's words, demons!It would have been in there.

If you look at Lindy, there is no doubt that yesterday's mock fight with Ray caused muscle pain throughout the body.

When I woke up in the middle of the night about the intruder, my body had already been attacked by muscle pain.

How does the halfway time affect this time?

Ray didn't know that either, but I don't think it would be strange if she couldn't move a step because of the muscle pain.

Alternatively, there is a possibility that even if you can move, it will become like a robot.

In anticipation of Lindy's appearance, Ray smiles small.

I wonder what kind of screams Lindy makes when Camilla touches her.

"To Lindy's sister? But I'm scared when she gets angry."

"Yes, I'm sure you'll be scared when you get angry.But I don't think I can get out that hard today. "

Really?

Camilla looks incredible in Ray's words.

That must be Camilla's perception that Lindy is afraid to piss her off.

Ray nodded honestly at Camilla's appearance.

"Oh, that's right.... but if you do too much, you might get angry later, so much more."

Yeah, I got it!

Camilla replies cheerfully and returns to her room.

Though there was a feeling that the words could really be believed, Ray wanted Lindy to sacrifice Camilla's time.

It might be troublesome later, but Camila decided it would be better than trying to get out of the room... and the door would knock at that time.

While questioning who it was, Ray headed towards the door.

As a matter of fact, there are a few others sleeping in the living room, but I'm still tired of last night's incident.

While Ray and Camilla were talking, they didn't seem to wake up at all and slept tight.

While still moving around, I opened the door.

Then there were the guards and surveillance men... not Nina, who was in charge of the snowstorm negotiations.

"Nina? What's wrong?"

"Good morning. Actually, Master Orban wants you to take Master Ray."

- Alban?

Here, Ray doesn't ask why Orban calls himself.

Without asking, I somehow understood why.

Either it's about last night, or it's about who's behind Dolan's workshop.

I don't have a choice but not to go see Ray, as Orban calls me.

Not if it's something I can't get my hands off, but I don't have anything to do right now.

Should I call someone?Though I thought it would be better to stop it than Camilla and everyone but myself are still asleep.

So Ray left the room to see Orban... and pretended not to hear Lindy screaming, "Gyaaaah", which he heard just before closing the door.
