Legend

"Don't be ridiculous!

Inside the room, a man's anger echoes.

A room in the Bornter mansion. That's not the room Ray rumbled into during the day. However, the current situation in the room is so desolate that it is very much the same as in the room where Ray broke out at noon. Until just a few hours ago it was a well organized and well cleaned room...... the chair was broken at the hands of the owner of the mansion, Bornter, the curtains were chopped a thousand times, the paintings hung on the walls were trampled and the pots that were decorating the flowers were crushed. And...

"This nonsense! Such a young man like Rank D! Licked! Shut the fuck up! I wonder what you think!

"Hih! Forgive me... sir..."

It was a maid in her late teens who was serving the Mansion that the horseback riding whip held in Bornter's hand was waved down with a frustrating voice.

The clothes are torn with the shock of being slapped with a whip, the skin is torn and the flesh is visible. There is a smell of blood rust in the room due to the blood flowing down to the floor. And Bornter smells that smell and lets a cloudy light dwell in his eyes at the pleasure of violence, swinging the whip down again.

It would be Bornter's physique that was unlucky for a maid to be whipped. I'm an old Bornter by nature, but his physique was still robust. They use that power to wiggle the whip down, so it's not an easy thing for a maid.

"Goddamn it!

A maid who is already unable to speak, but is only able to speak constantly to the shock of a whip. I turn my gaze at a maid who doesn't even seem to be stuck with it anymore, and then ring the only bell in the room that was safe.

And a few seconds later.

"Dear Volnter, may I call you?"

"Take this guy. Yeah, like you should be treated properly. If you die, it can stink. The Dusker guy is tougher on his noble habits than he is on the civilian side."

"Ha!"

"So, how much did you find out about him?

Throw the whip in your hand to the floor and head to the room across the street.

The butler who follows him opens his mouth so as not to damage his husband's mood after he hastily instructs his men to treat the maid.

"It's only been a few months or so since I showed up in this city of Gilm. Rumor has it he was an amazing wizard apprentice? After that training, I was told to gain experience as an adventurer here…"

"Hmm, I guess. If an adventurer with a Griffon has been in the city of Gilm for a long time, it's too late for rumors."

"Then sign up for the guild exactly as the master said. He seemed to have been asked mainly by the crusading system."

Lie down to the chair behind the room and let the butler continue reporting.

A few hours after Ray returned from this mansion and Bornter returned to me. In that short time, the butler's man had gathered information so far.

The breadth of that information network just sums up Guild's weapons store, and Ray's own information can be gathered without so much bitterness.

"I see. Did you also participate in the raid on the Oak settlement in relation to that?"

Whimpering small, he pours alcohol into the glass unconstitutionally, urging the butler to get ahead of him, sipping it down in one bite.

"Pfft. So, his own arm... no, I don't even have to ask"

Past the back of Bornter's brain at that moment was the fear of death he tasted during the day. Because you let yourself have so much fear, there is no way that your arm is immature.

That's the discomfort of whining and remembering.

"Wait. He was a wizard's apprentice...?

"Yes, I haven't been able to take a back look at whose apprentice I was, but I hear he was also a wizard to be called a concealer. Two all the time, and he lived on Griffon alone or something"

"He didn't use magic when he tried to kill Noon for it, did he? I had a magic activator..."

Whimpering, it reminds me of the magic activator Ray had.

It's a cane when it comes to a normal magic activator, or a ring. Sometimes piercing is a bit unusual, but what we have in common with them is that it only has the effect of being a purely magical activator. But Ray's magic activator, which Bornter saw during the day, seemed to have both as a weapon… and as an extremely powerful magic item of some kind.

Of course, there is no magic activator that has another effect as a magic item. But one magic item has another special ability than its ability as a magic activator. Granting those two things would require very advanced technology. Conversely, that is why it is now normal for magic activators to have only the ability to act as magic activators. In other words, magic activators and special abilities as weapons. Together, the Great Sickle is invaluable… it is so valuable that even the world's highest alchemists in the magical city of Ozos can finally make it.

(That magic item alone should be quite a fortune. And no matter what you say, it's an item box)

It is an abomination, but a shame to miss it as it is. Too much spare. Make it all sorts of magic items you have, Griffon, that's all there is to it.

"What's his connection like?

"Networking, is it?

"Oh. If you put him in some kind of trap, he's going to come out choking."

I guess I figured out what my husband was trying to say. Deacon opens his tease thinking for a few seconds.

"It must still be Larks Borderline Uncle to be purely a connection. A little back and forth, the raid on the orc settlement in the matter. It seems Ray was the one who defeated the oak kings that led both the oaks at that time. So they moved for Larks Borderline Uncle to surround them. As a result, I took a rank-up exam in a way that could be described as a special case and am now in rank D. And since then, we have confirmed that we have sent a request to Ray in the form of a nomination request."

"... are you connected to the lord? Trouble again."

"And..."

Slightly deacon. I urge you to turn your cloudy gaze to such a butler.

"Well, with regard to the nomination request I just mentioned... I'm sure you will remember the arrival of the Duke of Keller, a central figure of the aristocracy, in this guild a while ago"

"... oh. You were here. Something about having a street name like General Princess."

"Yes, that's him. That request for nomination was apparently an escort or something for the Duke of Kelp."

"What? Then, what. You're telling me that a kid like Ray is connected to the Duke of Kelp?

I don't know for sure, but I was wondering if it was possible.

"... Damn!

If only Dusker, the lord of this city of Gilm, could use his power to root about Ray. Naturally, it would be dangerous if they knew, so there would be a corresponding risk, but given the returns they would get, they would get enough revenue and expenditure. But the prospect is also broken if there is a connection to the Duke of Kelp, which the butler said. An aristocrat with an overwhelmingly stronger influence than a neutral whose Larks border uncle Dusker is the central figure. Its central character has so much influence. Using that influence and power isn't so hard to crush one of the merchants on the border.

"It's dangerous for Noon to fall. Then... Hmm. Hey."

"Yes, why should I sit?

"Put in contact with all the weapons stores in the city of Gilm. Tell that kid Ray to refuse to sell, take care of and buy all his weapons. Even those magic activators need more care than they use as weapons. Then you'll rely on an arms dealer. Suppose they turn it down from all the weapons stores in the meantime... it should be conveyed to the kid as a clear message from Non"

"Isn't that... that's what makes you a direct handler? He declared that there was no second time for Mr. Galahat."

Galahat. Bornter frowns uncomfortably when he hears that name. For Bornter, Galahat is a being created between his father and his concubine since he plugged him into old age, and discomfort springs from the bottom of his heart just because he thinks that he and even half of him are connected to blood.

"Doesn't that help? Even if it rots, it draws the blood of Non's clan, so I'm using it as an escort, but I didn't expect it to be swept away by a Rank D kid. Rank B's name is gonna cry."

"Dear Volnter, that adventurer named Ray is defeating the Monster Rank B Oak King in the first place when Rank G. Basically, even if the rank of the Alliance demonstrates strength, it's dangerous to apply it to the existence of Ray."

Bornter frowned slightly at the words from the butler. Even he knows the heterogeneity of the adventurer Ray's existence by staining himself. Somehow he tried to kill himself in this city of Gilm, who was also an arms dealer, without any hesitation. I can't honestly be happy to think that it's because of Galahat, who is also an abomination, although he didn't end up getting killed.

"I don't mind. If he does something next, he'll be brought to justice as a criminal."

"Dear Volnter... Now I will notify the Guild City Arms Store to that effect... are you sure?

"I'll be persistent. Do as I say."

"Yes, sir."

Deacon leaves the room with his head down deep.

Bornter, who dropped that off, was to drink, as if Ray had lowered his sip as he imagined what he would see from tomorrow.

"Gu......"

Galahat wakes up groaning in one of the rooms of the Bornter Mansion as Bornter drinks with dark delights.

"Mr. Galahat!

To such a galahat, Mult, sitting in a chair near the bed, raises his voice of joy.

"Ko, is this...?

This is the infirmary.

With as much money and power as Bornter, we don't know when the assassins will attack us. Alternatively, you may be injured in the training of private soldiers. For that reason, Bornter had hired a doctor to live in his own mansion. Galahat woke up in such a room.

"infirmary......? Huh!? Brother Ha! Grr!"

Momentum lifted his torso, and the impact caused the broken ribs from Ray's blow to ache and strangle him on the bed.

"Mr. Galahat! You have to rest! According to the doctor, if I'd been 20 minutes late for being transported here and using healing magic, I wouldn't have been helped!

Mult tells me as I weep in my eyes. In fact, Ray's blow had crushed his ribs piercing his gut, and Galahat didn't have to die because Bornter had left it to the power of gold to hire a doctor who could use amazing restorative magic. The blow Ray had unleashed was so powerful, and at the same time it had affected that he was forced to stand up with that wound.

"Mult, ah, what happened to my brother?

"Oh, you're safe. There are no injuries that appear to be injuries. Ray's guy promised Mr. Galahato that he'd go home and do nothing more."

"... well, is my brother safe?"

"Sure it is when it comes to Ray..."

Mult turns his gaze toward the bed next to Galahat sleeping as he also cages his mouth ahead.

When I turned my gaze towards you with patience for pain when I moved my body a little bit, it was one girl there. However, she is not in normal condition because she is sleeping in the infirmary bed.

"This is..."

Galahat complains when he sees the girl. There are several muscle scars on the back, with a large number of wounds that would probably leave a scar even if healing magic were used. It was my back that was injured, so I lay down depressed and slept in bed.... No, I'm losing my mind.

"He's one of the maids who served in this mansion. Volnter hit me eight times..."

"Become!"

Galahat, who is utterly silent on Mult's words. Even for him, I never thought that my brother would scratch a woman that would last a lifetime. It is also an act of eight hits, etc.

(... No, you're not. My brother can't say it's impossible, can he?)

"Sorry."

Galahat speaking small words of apology.

"Why would Mr. Galahat apologize! You deserve all that Bornter shit this time! Well, I think this woman was miserable..."

"That's why it seems like you can hit eight...... wait. Eight hits, you say?

Galahat uncomfortable with the words he put in his own mouth.

Half of them are blood connected brothers. I'm well aware of that personality. Yes, for example, I can't forgive myself for remaining false. And I don't care what happens to others to make my own money. But my brother also has a terribly timid side to it at the same time as his character. That's obvious when you look at what happened today that you almost suffered direct damage to yourself. A brother like that puts a maid on the verge of dying on eight?

(I assumed that my brother was frightened about the day and wouldn't give Ray any more help. But what if that was a mistake?

Yes. Galahat does have high abilities with Rank B Adventurers and in this city of Guild. But it's only an ability to be an adventurer. Magic item eyesight. It's not far to Bolnter against something called the smell of gold. And suppose Bornter sniffed that gold off Ray.

"Mr. Galahat?

"... Mult. Listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

Galahat, who is currently unable to move. The only means he could take was to rely on his peers who admired him.
