Legend

Ray and Nina arrive in Orban's room.

As usual, there was an escort in front of the door, but the escort was different than when Ray fought the Golem in the vault yesterday.

Were you tired because of yesterday's incident, or was it simply because it was a change of time?

Ray didn't know about it, but he didn't seem hostile to Ray, so he straightened his head toward Ray and Nina.

So Ray and Nina were invited to Orban's room....

"Wow...."

Ray's voice suddenly leaked from Ray's mouth when she saw Orban's face in the room.

Of course. Usually, I was always motivated, but Orban, who is now in Ray's sight, was clearly exhausted.

"Maybe you haven't slept since yesterday?"

"I'm not asleep.I'm a little sleepy. Somewhat, really. "

In Orban's words, Ray recalls the word short sleeper.

It was a feature that I did on a TV show when I was in Japan, but instead of sleeping six hours, seven hours, eight hours at bedtime, I took a short sleep time such as enough, 15 minutes, 30 minutes during my life.

It was said that it was good for health, but it wasn't very good for Ray at the time when I saw it, but I didn't think so.

In fact, if you look at Orban now in front of Ray, that's obvious.

(No, maybe it's just because you're imitating how many times you take a short sleep just today, you're just not used to it?Repeat this every day, or... no, that's a little bit)

Judging from Orban's appearance, it is not very likely, but it is impossible to do so.

"Wouldn't it be better if you slept properly in the end?"

"I don't know. I hope so.However, given the current situation, it is also true that such an imitation is not possible.When this case is solved, rest assured I will sleep well. "

I wonder if it is safe to say so.

Nevertheless, it is true that no matter what Ray says here, you will not be able to listen to him.

If it's Ray, I think that's what Orban thinks right now.

"Okay, now I believe in Orban's words.But when this is over, you really need to rest.... so you're going to see Robert when you call me?You've gathered enough evidence on Dallas, haven't you? "

"Oh, enough, too much.Yesterday, when I read the material from the Golem in the vault, it was obvious. "

That's what Orban said.

Ray doesn't know exactly what was written in the document.

But just a little yesterday, Orban said this evidence definitely meant a lot.

Given that, Orban's words are by no means wrong.

"Right, so you're going now?"

"Yes, we'd better get moving a little faster on this matter.If it gets late here, Dallas will definitely hit me. "

"Sure, I think so."

"That's why I'm definitely busy today.... so Ray can act as my escort? "

"I don't mind the jewelry you gave me last night.But wouldn't it be okay if I was the escort, not me, but the snowstorm assassins? "

"No, I prefer someone who can show up with dignity because he's a guard.Assassins are basically killing people without showing up.... well, there's also the blood blade and yesterday, and it's not like I can't fight from the front.However, in the sense of showing your strength, it would be better to have someone who looks like Ray and knows. "

"Look, you see?... I'm glad you said that, but do you really think you can see it?"

Ray is commensurately confident in his strengths, but also understands that his appearance is strongly underestimated by his strengths.

That being said, if you want to crush the opponent without asking questions, it's not strange to be an escort... even if someone despises Ray just by appearing in some cases.

If Ray tells her who she is or if she's with Seto, it might be something else.

"Rest assured, the guards we meet today will have an eye for what they can do.It's just... that's right. If anyone gets involved without understanding Ray's powers, he can do whatever Ray wants. "

"I can't afford to say that.I originally intended to take it on.... so, specifically, what kind of people are you meeting today?I was supposed to meet with Robert, but I don't think Robert's guards are coming after me. "

Robert and Alban have a friendly relationship.

That said, there's basically no such thing as Robert's escort getting tangled up with Ray.

... I can't really say that's true, but it's unlikely to get tangled up anyway.

In the first place, you don't have to hire Ray as your escort if you just want to meet Robert.

"Immediately after meeting with Robert, gather the people who are moving Egginiss.That's when Ray needs to be escorted. "

"Does it mean Dallas is coming to gather the people who are running Egginis?"

"I'm sure you'll come. I wanted to impeach Dallas first."

"If you knew that, I don't think Dallas would have come in the first place."

Ray and Orban were the only ones talking, but Nina opened her mouth at the exact moment.

"No, Master Ray, Dallas will probably show up."

Does Ray agree with Nina's words, as if she had some certainty? and so on.

"I know you'll lose if you come, but you're still coming?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't come here.Then you need to show your face to the meeting and make sure you know exactly what you're going to be like. "

"... I see. In that sense, we have to come.However, considering yesterday's incident, it may explode in the middle of a meeting at an emergency. "

If we had a meeting like this, I'd be done.

If Dallas so decides, it is likely to aim for a single reversal.

(Oh, so I join the escort?)

If Dallas tries to take any action, she can react immediately if she has a dark red nickname.

Well, that's just as long as Ray... Orban, Ray's escort, is at the meeting.

"Can Orban attend that meeting?Otherwise, you can't imitate me. "

"Don't worry, I'm the one with the papers.That being the case, it's impossible that I won't attend the meeting.Robert will take care of it. "

"Okay, then I'll be fine.So, what do we do now?Are you already heading to Robert's Mansion? "

"If Ray doesn't have a problem, I'll do it.This one is going to be a lot of trouble in many ways, so I just want you to be prepared. "

Ray looks stunned at Orban who says so.

If you say such a thing, it's because Orban only has a short sleep and is definitely tired.

It wasn't like Ray couldn't imagine going to Robert's Mansion under such circumstances and attending a meeting from there.

If it's Ray, we'll settle with our enemies, so it's only natural that we want Orban to be in perfect shape.

"What about Nina?"

"I'll go with you.Nevertheless, I think it's going to be something different from Ray-san's. "

Orban is the leader of the blizzard, the one who has evidence of Dallas's evil.

Nina, on the other hand, is a snowstorm executive, but that's all she has to say.

But if Nina here tries to attend a meeting with Robert and the others, it's definitely going to be a problem.

"Besides, I have a lot to do on my own."

Nina's expression had a strong determination to do what she had to do.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to let me sleep until we get to Robert's Mansion."

"Never mind. If Orban's head doesn't move clearly, he'll get in trouble when he's in a hurry."

"Sorry."

That said, Orban immediately goes to sleep.

"You must have been exhausted."

"That's right. The evidence Ray-san obtained... well, it seems to have been quite tragic."

Nina, as a negotiator, must have seen evidence of Dallas's evil.

The expression has a strong frustrating color.

"Regardless of the fact that I was a good looking person, I didn't think that I was doing so many things behind my back... honestly.No, as I looked into it, the name came up as a suspicious person, and perhaps it's only natural that it should be. "

"Don't worry about it.The front of Dallas was perfect, wasn't it?And why did you think Dallas was suspicious? "

"There are a lot of things around here."

That's what I'm talking about, Nina.

If you ask any more questions, you probably won't say anything.

Ray, who makes that decision, turns away from the subject.

"I knew Alban was busy, but why was Nina so busy?"

"Negotiations to return those captured during the last ambush."

"... is that a ransom?"

That's what I said.

She nodded lightly without even paying attention to Ray's words.

(Well, it's a conversation in the back organization, so is it natural to imitate it?)

If this is the front organization, we will need to do more cumbersome procedures and return the prisoners.

Is it because of the organization behind it that the conversation goes smoothly?

"So how long... no, I don't think I should ask you this either."

"Oh, Ray-san, I think you can tell me about the area.Well, yes, it was more expensive than selling as a slave. "

"That's convincing."

If selling as a slave is more expensive, then you don't have to bother discussing it with the enemy's organization and deciding on a ransom, you can sell it to the slaver.

That way, the enemy organization will have less combat power.

Ultimately, it should have benefited the snow and the wind.

"Besides, it's not a ransom, it's a magic item, it's a territory, it's information...If you think so, thanks to Mr. Ray, the revenues from this blizzard are huge.... I've suffered quite a bit. "

As a result of the ambush, some people will have died in the snow and wind.

Even if they weren't dead, there would have been a lot of people whose hands and feet were useless.

"By the way, did Nina do all that negotiation?"

"No, I don't think so. I can't do that.All I did was negotiate with some big assassin guilds.I'll leave the rest to my men.... if I had done everything myself, I wouldn't be able to ride a carriage with Ray like this. "

"Was it that hard?"

"Yes, because negotiation is war.... there is no doubt that the winner's side is overwhelmingly advantageous, but if he does a high-pressure imitation, it is possible that he will also use his strength in preparation for the loss... "

"Only the Assassin Guild would be in a lot of trouble."

As Ray talks to Nina like that, the carriage proceeds... and eventually arrives at Ray's familiar Robert Mansion.

Alban, we're here. It's time to get up.

That said, when Orban shakes his body lightly, Orban wakes up immediately.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I think I slept better than I thought."

Though Orban still seemed a little tired, his complexion was much better than before he went to bed.

I haven't slept for less than an hour, but I'm sure you'll be able to tell how tired Orban is from his body.

"As far as I can see, you're better than you were before you went to bed."

"Really? That's fine, but... well, anyway... it's finally going to be real."

In Ray's words, Orban smiled with motivation.
