Legend

After the battle in the dance hall, the Galahats proceed inside the Bornter mansion.

Occasionally I also encounter people employed in mansions such as maids and cooks, but fortunately most of the people I encountered were more fond of Galahat than Volnter and had nothing to make a scene with.

Most importantly, that would have been because Galahat promised to hire him properly even after he became the representative of the Azot Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, because some people would have made a scene here and earned points against Volnter.

"... so the office where Volnter should be is near where I met him, right?

Galahat nods small as Ray asks as he walks ahead with Seto.

"Oh. I'm pretty sure about that. Normally, I would have prepared a room for evacuation when the mansion was attacked, but my brother had absolute confidence in the mansion. In fact, no one's ever been safe sneaking into this mansion before."

That would also have affected the adventurers who hire them as security, and the transformation of fences and walls into magic items as if to cement the perimeter of the mansion. There were few who could break through there, and even if they did, this mansion, home to adventurers starting with Galahat, a rank B adventurer, wasn't something they could do with a little softness.

"But that's because Mr. Galahat was there. In fact, after Bornter made the decision to cut Mr. Galahat off, he was turned over to the security of this mansion, mostly from me."

"It is true that the quality is low. I guess you could have said the guys who fought in the dance hall were the best... like that."

Even as he shrugged, there was a Halvard man past Ray's brain.

(Only that man was an exception. It was overwhelming compared to Tenda, who said he had the equivalent of Rank B. Fortunately, I didn't care because I was fighting like I was watching this one for some reason without giving it all I could... but if I kept fighting like that, I would have prolonged it until I was settled even if I didn't lose. Especially since they have a constant healing effect. Magic items are extremely troublesome. Though Seto is wearing it, I don't know how annoying it smells when you turn it on the enemy.)

Although Seto is also equipped with a magic item called Shizukuishi of Mercy that has a constant healing effect, it is not likely to be damaged if it is not too much because it is originally a Rank A monster. For this reason, I can hardly remember Ray ever realizing the effect.

"Ah, Mr. Galahat"

One maid shows up from a bend as she walks through the mansion, a daughter of late teens, I guess.

And the face of Galahat, who saw the maid's face, is slightly distorted.

What floats there is remorse. Because the maid in front of her was beaten repeatedly with a whip just to make her worried. What can I say to myself that is half connected with blood? I thought so too, but I manage to open my mouth even though I am aware that my expression is strong.

"... the wound, is that enough?

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Galahato for instructing me to get treatment as a top priority, no more hindrances to moving"

"... yeah, right"

To the maid in front of me. Galahat didn't know what to say. I'm sure that's enough about the wound. Because he gave instructions under Galahat's authority to treat him as a matter of the highest priority. But it's true that there's still a scar on that back of a whip. Multiple scars with torn skin and torn flesh. How much did that hurt my heart for the maid in front of me that I was only a teenage girl? When he thinks so, Galahat accidentally bites off his own lips, and a muscle of blood flows off the edge of his lips.

You must have seen that and realized what the maid girl cares about Galahat, too. I smile and turn my gaze toward Seto.

"Mr. Galahat, this is the Griffon this kid was rumored to be in the city, right? I hear you're nostalgic, can I stroke you?

"Hmm? Ah, oh.... Ray?

For God's sake, Ray felt the relationship and nodded slightly.

"Oh, I don't mind. I'm basically nostalgic. Don't worry, Seto's a big man."

"Thank you. Bye."

He smiles and lowers his head to Ray, reaching for Seto's head.

"Gru?"

Seto making a small squeal in the back of his throat and leaning his little neck. The maid who was watching the thing just grins and strokes its back when she finds it hard to believe that it is the presence of a Rank A monster in front of her.

"Wow, a very smooth touch of hair. I've never seen anything like it."

"Well, good for you.... than that, don't you know which room your brother is in?

I also thought it would be harsh to ask a girl who was badly treated by her own brother, but now it is also a matter of contending for a moment. Almost all the adventurers and chimps gathered in this mansion and other warriors should have been defeated or rendered powerless, but I still want to paragraph this absurd noise before some irregular happens. That was Galahat's honest feelings. Then tell yourself that the maid girl in front of you is also safe as a result.

"Your husband would be in the reception room."

"... Isn't that the office?

Galahat, who is heard to be the reception room and unwittingly listens back. Because the office needs to have Volnter for a long time, there are matching defensive magic items. And yet I don't know that I'm in the reception room in this situation.

Of course, the reception room is the place to meet with the person you've been asking, and it's not indispensable to be prepared for a time when you know you're being resented for what you deserve. But still, compared to the office where I spend the majority of my day, the neighborhood is neglected. Still considering why you're still in the reception room...

"Someone's asking, is it?

Who will ask at the present time when their mansion is being raided? That's all I could think of as a reason to use the reception room.

"Yes, I see a customer"

And the maid snorted lightly.

"... for once you would be an employer, can I tell you where you are so easily?

Ray, who questioned him like that, asks, but the maid shakes her head small.

"Indeed, we are employed by your husband. But that's not why it's an untold doll. I have feelings for it, and I'm unhappy if they do something I don't like. And..."

A maid with a sad look for a moment. It was Galahat who saw firsthand that he was injured who realised why. And it was only the mult that accompanied that galahat.

You must have noticed those two caring expressions. A maid who smiles again and shakes her head small.

"I am also a resident of this city of Gilm. If you work here, you just know that the Azot Chamber of Commerce is doing all sorts of dark things behind it. In contrast, Mr. Galahat has also managed to make him stop. So I think this whole noise happened just so it could happen."

"No!"

A scream of agony that whispered but was definitely heard by those around him. It was Galahat who raised that voice.

"I... I've been watching and pretending not to see even as I know what my brother's been doing. It's not like you say you have such a fine personality! Because I knew right away that I had tried to get my hands on this commotion, even though Ray had declared it was not there twice. Rather than my brother getting killed by Ray, I'll drag my brother down from the Azot Chamber of Commerce meeting so Ray can't help me. That's really the only reason I caused this commotion. As I said at the beginning, I'm not what you guys think I am. I'm just being selfish."

The surroundings calm back to that voice you tell as you squeeze it out. The maid then gently reached for Galahat with a grin and grabbed her hand, which was torn by her fingernails because she held her hand as long as she could, with a few drops of blood falling to the floor.

"You can't, Mr. Galahat. Mr. Galahato is going to stand behind the Azotto Chamber of Commerce, so get hurt like this.... This is all I have right now, so please be patient."

Carry the handkerchief out of your pocket to your mouth, suppress it with your teeth and tear it into two pieces, then cover with each handkerchief the palm of the galahat and tie it together.

"This is all I can do right now, but please treat me as soon as possible."

"... why"

"What is it?

"Why won't you say anything? Didn't I just tell you? I never stopped my brother, knowing what he was up to. Why... if I had moved to action sooner, you wouldn't have been scarred for the rest of your life for no good reason."

"Still..."

A maid holding hands with a handkerchief for blood control.

"Still, Mr. Galahat eventually got me up. Even if that's because of your own desire to help your brother, why don't you just let someone out there help you? At least I think so."

……

To a smiling maid, Galahat has no choice but to return a flashing look.

Eventually he gets embarrassed to stare at his own face, and the maid opens her mouth with a pranky grin as she blushes.

"Right, then, if there's no one to get me and I'm sold out...... will Mr. Galahat get me one?

"Behold! No, wait. Think of the difference in years. Me and you are lightly 10 + years apart!?

"It's not uncommon for a couple to have that much difference in years, is it?

Galahat dyeing her cheeks red on the maid's words. Such was Fron, who was still single and didn't even have a lover after 30, it should be said that he stopped the exchange that made his back itch more to watch.

"Yeah, come on in a place like this! If you want to flirt, finish this mess!

That's right, Fron. Perhaps jealousy mixed with that word was irresistible in a way.

"Oh, my God, what would I do? Shh, sorry. The maid is in good shape."

"Oh, yeah. I do have to give priority to stopping my brother now. Well, let's talk about this again. There's gonna be a lot of noise tonight, so just hide in some room. As I've told the servants I've met before, the others who work in this mansion are with me."

"... Yes. Take care of yourself, Mr. Galahat."

When I dye my cheeks slightly and nod, the maids go away from the front of the galahat rather than say Rays as they are...

I shrug like Brasso noticed something fuzzy about that back off.

"My daughter now. I told you to watch out for Galahat only... but I don't care what happens to you."

"Damn, that must be the only person in the eye of a woman in love. Now, more than that... where are the reception rooms and the dots? Hey, don't fall in love with color, just get back to your sanity."

Galahat, who had missed the maid to Fron's words, returns to me and coughs small enough to regain his mind.

"I'm sorry. So, was it the reception room? Then it's upstairs. However, we have to go up a different staircase than the one at the dance hall. I'm not wrong about the direction."

"Right. Then let's just put an end to this noise. Tomorrow we'll dismantle the harpy too..."

"No, you can't dismantle the harpy and it doesn't have to be tomorrow, right? It would be just a little harsh to end this commotion and then go to sleep and dismantle Harpy. But I have to get a request interview tomorrow afternoon."

Ray remembers what happened a long time ago about the interview for the request I already spoke to Lenora at the guild. Anyway, there were too many things going on in one day, so I can't help it.

"Well, we can do it after tomorrow when it comes to the Harpy thing. Without Ray's item box, you'd have to strip the material before it rots."

Brasso nods, and Fron goes down the hallway without saying anything in particular whether there is any objection. And...

"That room."

Proceeding for about 10 minutes, Galahat growls as he turns his gaze towards the door he eventually sees.

"There are several reception rooms in this mansion, but if they say they're like the ones my brother uses in this emergency, they'll be sure to be in that room with hidden escape routes outside."

"Escape route?

"Oh. Moving the cabinet inside the reception room reveals an escape path that leads outside. It's a way out that generations of Azot Chamber of Commerce leaders have prepared just in case, rather than saying that my brother... Enter the room, and the cabinet on the wall on the right is the entrance to the escape route, so suppress it first."

"... Seto"

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto snorts all the time asking me to leave it to him.

Ray also nods contentedly that it would be impossible for Bornter to first escape to the escape route by himself to Seto at least.

"All right.... let's go!

Galahat said so, opening the door to the reception room and entering.
