Legend

"Um, well... is that good?"

Nina asks Ray how scared she is a few minutes after she leaves the room to be led by Nina.

It was Ray who somehow understood what he wanted to hear, but he asked while trying not to think of anything.

"What happened?"

"Hmm? I mean... you heard a scream in that room, right?"

Since Nina heard herself screaming, she proceeded on the assumption that she would not have heard Ray.

In fact, it's not wrong, but Ray just leans his neck slightly.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Really?

Based on Ray's appearance, she probably decided she shouldn't listen any more, and Nina gave up talking any more.

If Ray wasn't next to Nina, that's why Nina would be curious about digging roots and leaves.

But Ray is next to Hate and Nina.

That said, if I persevered here, Nina could easily predict that things would taste bad.

Only the first person to negotiate with Ray understands Ray's personality quite well.

Determining that it was better not to listen to this, Nina quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, how was the couch?Mr. Orban prepared it for Mr. Ray. "

"What? Is that so? Crowe brought you the couch, didn't he?Crowe didn't say anything in particular. "

Crowe is attached to a group called Wind and Snow.If Orban had arranged for Ray to have the couch handed over to him personally, it wouldn't have been strange to talk about it when he brought it.

Nina laughs and opens her mouth to Ray's suspicious gaze.

"That's right. In the first place, Crowe doesn't know that the couch belonged to Master Orban."

"Why did you bother hiding it?"

"I don't think I've hidden anything else.But I was busy last night. "

"You didn't have time to tell me."

"Yes, and when I told Crowe about it, he probably cared more than he needed to."

Crowe didn't seem to care that much from Ray's point of view, but if Nina is in the same organization, she decides that's what it is.

If you think about whether you or Nina have a long and deep relationship with Crowe, it's because Nina is naturally Nina.

Snow and Wind are the biggest Assassin Alliance in Egginis, and many of them belong to it.

Ray didn't know exactly how much Nina and Crowe were going out of this relationship.

"Looks like the sofa brought me something of pretty good quality.I'm sleeping on the couch, but it was pretty comfortable.It felt good. "

"I'm glad... is Ray-san sleeping on the sofa?"

"There are a lot of people here.Besides, sleeping on the sofa isn't that bitter.I might get a little tired if that goes on. "

It was the most troublesome thing to sleep on the sofa when I couldn't turn around.

If you keep sleeping on the sofa, you may end up falling off the sofa even if you turn around, but Ray doesn't want that to happen.

Sleeping on the sofa is fine, but that's why I don't like it.

It was only natural that I wanted to sleep in bed if I could.

(Should I sleep in a magic tent?)

The living room Ray and the others use is quite spacious.

Moving a few sofas gave me plenty of room to use my magic tent.

However, it is awkward that only Ray is relaxed in the magic tent without any sense of narrowness while others endure it in a narrow place.

Or maybe someone asked me to use Ray's magic tent.

But hate and ray don't want to let someone they're not close to use the magic tent.

Even considering the circumstances around here, shouldn't Ray still use a magic tent?I thought... I noticed a dagger in the corner of Ray's hallway.

"Is this also the effect of last night's commotion?"

It's no wonder the weapons are rolling, even though they're from the Assassin Alliance.

But it's just a story of the regular Assassin Alliance.

Snow and Wind are fairly disciplined even in the Assassin Guild, and it's not like dumping weapons properly in the aisle... as far as Ray can tell.

Nina nods with a complex expression looking at the dagger Ray picked up.

"That's right, I've had a lot of trouble last night.... I don't know exactly how many people broke in. "

"So, was there an assassin left behind who couldn't escape?"

He plays with the dagger he picks up and asks.

As far as Ray knew, many of them were clever enough to break into the snowstorms.

That being said, if it is determined that the entrance is about to be occupied by the snowstorm side, it is not strange to escape as quickly as possible.

However, it was not strange for anyone to be left behind for helpless reasons or to be forced to participate without skill.

Nina nods in support of Ray's expectations.

"That's right. We've got a few people who've lost their way.However, most of them were not assassins belonging to the organization, but solos. "

"Solo. If that happens, don't bother using it."

"Yes"

Nina nodded as if it was a pity from the bottom of her heart.

Assassins belonging to an organization can extract information and act like prisoners in exchange for ransom.

But basically, there is no backing for being a solo.

Or if the person is saving up money, it is possible that they will be free in exchange for the money once they have negotiated it... but not many of them will be able to imitate it.

In that case, it's the only way to enslave or kill.

There may be other uses, but unfortunately Ray didn't understand.

"In the meantime, I think it's going to be tough until we get all the people left in this place, but do your best.If we leave Anne out of the room, we need to think about safety. "

"I will do my best. It's just... the snowstorms are pretty big and complicated, whatever I say.That didn't cause any fatal damage in this disturbance. "

"Something that hurts and itches."

The complexity of Ajito's interior made it difficult for invading enemies to reach critical locations in the blizzard.

There would have been fewer attacks on snowstorm executives like Orban and Nina.

... for that matter, the intruders arrived in front of the rooms where Lindy, Anne and Ilnara were, but there was no doubt that they were unlucky.

(Bad luck, huh? Did the intruder happen to arrive where Lindy and the others were?... is that too much for me?)

It was probably Ray who turned his eyes towards Nina, but even if he did that, it would not be profitable for the snowstorm side.

I just want to buy some discomfort from Ray and make our relationship worse.

"If it's a maze of passages, maybe even someone belonging to Snow and Wind might get lost."

"I won't deny it.However, I basically understand my scope of action.... Ray-san also understands the way out of the current room, right? "

"I've been there many times.And through a fairly wide corridor. "

It's a complicated blizzard, but the passages aren't all the same size.

The place where many people go is quite wide, and the streets of the city... is a little big, but it felt like that.

And there are fairly narrow roads in the blizzard, as there are back streets in the city.

In fact, yesterday Ray and Crowe fought the intruders in many small places, and Ray didn't have the spatial space to wave Death Size, so he used the twilight spear as the main spear.

"The wide passage is easy to understand.However, it seems that this has led to frequent fighting in a wide area. "

Ray and Nina walk down the aisle in conversation like that.

Incidentally, the dagger Ray found was stored in the mystery ring.

I tried to return it to Nina, but Ray gave it to me because he said it was a pretty good dagger.

Nevertheless, even if it is a good dagger, it is only compared to a common dagger, and the craftsmanship is not a substitute for shining,

It's kind of like a disposable spear... or something a little higher.

As you proceed through the aisle, you will eventually arrive in front of a door that you know Ray.

In front of the door, probably because it was yesterday and today.There were more guards than usual.

Ray took it for granted that Orban's guards would increase, and Nina would have known about the sight by coming to get Ray again.

The two of them approached the door without any particular surprise.

Orban... only the guards with the highest priority to protect their boss were alerted to the fact that someone was approaching at first, but when they found out it was Ray and Nina, the alert would be lifted.

Ray is now working with Snow and Wind, and above all, he's more active than anyone else in last night's incident.

There were some people who thought that Ray had a lot to do with it, but it didn't really work out.

As for Nina, the people who were here knew as well as they were the executives of the blizzard.

Not only are they executives, but many of Nina's snowstorm assassins admire their beauty.

It was only natural for those two guards to de-alert.

... but being with Nina, the idyllic presence of the snow and wind, might have turned a blind eye to vigilance in another sense.

"Master Orban called me."

"Yes, I'm listening. Nina told me to get through as soon as she arrived."

That's right, the man who was talking to Nina will be free soon.

The man's gaze toward Nina was respectful, followed by a color of gratitude for the gaze toward Ray.

You must be thanking Ray for what happened last night.

Some people thought it wasn't funny to Ray, but it changed a lot last night.

The man who just lowered his head toward Ray thought Ray's presence was not interesting at first, but he was one of the ones who favored Ray yesterday.

Let's just say Ray didn't do one thing last night for the blizzards, but if I left it alone... anyway, it was because I thought Lindy and the others would get hurt.

In fact, the two men who were guarding Lindy's room were badly wounded in battle with the assassins.

"Excuse me, Mr. Orban. I brought Ray with me."

"Oh, thank you for coming.Nina... is right. Stay in the room, there's a chance you'll get involved in this. "

"I understand."

Nina didn't seem particularly surprised by Orban's words.

Because I went out of my way to call in this situation, I thought I might have something to do with it.

So Ray and the others all sat on the sofa, and as Nina prepared the tea, Orban opened her mouth first.

"Well, Ray, I'm late to thank you, but yesterday I saved a lot.If Ray hadn't been here, he would probably have suffered more. "

That's right, Orban, keep your head down honestly.

Nina was surprised at Orban's appearance, but the surprise soon disappeared from her face.

You thought it was bad to show yourself upset here in charge of the negotiations.

Ray was completely unaware of Nina's appearance and opened his mouth without being particularly surprised that Orban lowered his head.

"Never mind. One of the masterminds last night was Dolan Workshop, right?Then it's not about the blizzard, it's about me or Anne.In that sense, the snow and the wind are like I got caught up in something. "

"I guess so. But those who broke in last night... most of the assassins hired by the Dolan Workshop belonged to an Assassin Alliance of that magnitude.Some of them were Solo assassins who didn't belong to any organization.Anyway, considering the area, Dolan Workshop set it up, but there's no doubt that the people who wanted to get in the way of the snow and the wind helped. "

In other words, it is also our problem.

To tell Orban that, Ray was convinced that was not the case.
