It was Arla who was flabbergasted for a few seconds when she saw Ray, but eventually she opened her mouth again when she returned to me.
"Long time no see, Lord Ray. Thank you for your help before."
A knightly thank you, Arla grins while confused.
Different attitude than before, but that's probably because there are Soleil and his escorts around. Neither did Ray, and it wasn't hard to judge that.
"Oh, it's been a long time. But why is Ara here? It's definitely Elaine's Knights of Escorts, isn't it?
"Yes, by that order of Lady Elaine, he asked me to take Baron Soleil to Anesis, which is in the territory of the Duke of Kelevel".
"... Anesis?
"It is also the home of Lord Elaine's father and Master Liberté Kelère. So in order to counter the Bestian Empire, I picked Baron Soleil up... and he couldn't have been there if he'd heard of an epidemic that wasn't supposed to happen in this city of Barr.... So why is Lord Ray here?
"I'm here to deliver the ingredients for the exotic fever that was prevalent in this city that you've been talking about.... but you've come here a lot. Now that you're in town, you're not gonna get out of town until you can make sure you're not infected with that demonic fever, are you?
"... Huh?
To Ray's words, Ara, stop moving.
Keep looking toward Soleil in a blunt motion, like a broken toy doll.
"Oh, they do. Unfortunately, it will still take a little while for me to get to Anesis"
"... Baron Soleil. Is that why you're here? Or are you sure you can't get out of here?
It was Arla who turned her gaze to Ray again, but Ray nodded ruthlessly.
"It will. It may be possible to force yourself to leave if you use your position as a nobleman, but in that case, there is a risk of spreading a demonic fever in a city such as that of Anesis.... or... At first, the city had problems around it, and the guards were shutting down at the entrance to the city. You've come in here normal a lot."
"Uh, uh, I'm sorry. Lady Soleil forced her way through the area by lord's authority."
Cormish tells him that as he sighs he looks like a pain in the ass, and Ara nods in sigh again as well.
"Baron Soleil, who is to be escorted, has entered this city, and as Elaine asked me to, there is no reason to throw it out."
(Oh, is this guy's heart attack on Elaine the same?)
Even as I thought of it that way, it was Ray nodding as I was convinced.
"Fortunately or not, I can be out in about five days. Good luck over there."
……
He said it was sloppy, but Ara saw Ray with his face, but somehow he came into the city where the plague was endemic. The degree of disabling would be irresistible.
Even for Ara, she didn't mean to imitate bringing a plague like demonic fever to a city where she loved Elaine, but she refused to accept it.
"Anyway, I see you two know each other. As Ray says, don't worry, I'll be staying in this city for a while too. At this point, if we haven't seen each other in a long time, there will be a lot of stories. Why don't we talk a little bit?
"But..."
Ara turns her gaze to Soleil looking worried somewhere. Somehow I dazzled him as soon as I took my eyes off him, and it was in the city of Barr that I found him, so I wouldn't have to worry about that either.
"Don't worry. There are a lot of things I want to look into in this city, so I won't be gone on my own. Well, that's why. We're headed back to the east vault. Perhaps even a fragment of the dungeon's nucleus remains."
"Uh, Master Soleil, are you serious about that? You've been in a force so far, why don't you take a little rest? Specifically, we can get out of this city for about a week."
It was a cormish to tell you how annoying it looked, but naturally Soleil wouldn't listen to you like that.
"Don't be an idiot, be an idiot. There's a chance I can get the core of the corner dungeon because I can get it in shards. I don't think I have time to rest while I'm in this city. Look, let's go. Just follow me. You must be my escort."
"Huh."
Replying with a strange voice with a sigh, he leaves the room with Soleil and other escorts just like that.
I dropped that off, and when I realized, there were already only two people in the room, Ray and Arla.
"... of the dungeon, nucleus?
Earla whining in unintentional ways.
If you think about what happened in the dungeon, you can't even force that face to be strong.
"There's a nucleus of dungeons here?
"Oh. Precisely like the presence of less than the nucleus of a dungeon."
Returning to Ara's words, we sit back on the couch in a room where no one is left but ourselves.
"I mean, what causes demonic fever..."
"Don't be."
"... Really?"
Deeply sighing, Ara also lowers her power ax from her back to the couch across from where Ray is sitting before lowering her hips.
"Nevertheless, I guess I didn't expect to see you in a place like this.... Power Axe seems to be familiar with his hands more than anything."
"Yes, it's a gift from Lady Elaine, and I'm letting you take care of it"
"Is Elaine doing well?
"Yes, I'm starting to use it, although it's still not entirely about my ability as an enchanted dragon. There's no shortage of training. Oh, excuse me."
Say no to Ray, and hand it to Arla by pouring two cups of tea for herself and Ray with the tea tools that were placed on the table.
Gratefully receive and carry the cup to your mouth.
Ray continues the conversation with admiration as he also had the opportunity to mouth Ara's brewed tea in the carriage when heading to the dungeon, but no decay in his arms.
"By the way, can I ask you what happened when it came to Ver?
"... every clan fled to the Bestian Empire. Mr. Liberté, also Elaine's father, put out a chase, but he escaped into Bestian territory about 40% of the time. We can't just follow them and attack them inside Bestian territory..."
"What about Ver?
"Nothing at all about you. I'm probably on guard over there."
(Are those balls? As far as the nature of that time goes, I'm going to show up happy and provoke this one... but the only thing I can think of is that the damage I did is so much that I'm still being treated)
"If you say so,"
Unexpectedly, Ara opens her mouth to change the subject.
"I heard that the Knights Commander, who leads the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel, praises Lord Ray... do you know him?
"No, not at all. I've never seen anyone that important."
I'm actually working on the Bornter mansion, but naturally Ray answers that because he doesn't know who the other guy is.
Earla sighs even with a convincing look on her face as she listens to Ray like that.
"That's right. But there are actually rumors like that in the Knights. So I was wondering if the Knights Commander even went to the city of Gilm about that time.... Then Elaine tells me, is it from the contents?
"No, even if I ask."
Then Ray continues his conversation with an acquaintance he met unexpectedly while talking to each other about unreservedly.
If it was true, I wanted to pass on information about the officials of the Bestian Empire who had encountered him at the Bornter mansion, but I had nothing to say about it now because Dusker had told me it was an important matter in that matter.
The sound of doors suddenly knocking sounds in the room when we talk about each other's recent developments and talk about how Ara is surprised if Ray says he defeated a rare species of Gamelion, or when Ara challenged a knight opponent to duel and inch Power Axe with his neck, who said something that would condemn Custe inside the Knights.
When Ara gives permission to enter the room, it is the girl who appears to be in her late teens dressed in maid clothes. She was an impressive girl with blue hair cut off by bob cuts.
"Excuse me. Dear Logo is here to see Ray."
"Mr. Deer Logo?
"Yes, I would like to talk to you about Mr. Soleil."
"... ok. I'm sorry, but that's why I'm taking my seat off around here. I'll be staying in this city for at least a week. We'll talk when we get another chance. I'd like to hear about Elaine."
"Yes. Absolutely. Even for me, I'd like to speak to Elaine more than I could have met Lord Ray here."
"If anything happens, come to the inn where I'm staying.... I think you can tell the location by asking around Mr. Deer Logo"
That's what he told me, and he left the room and went to the office as a maid of honor led him.
"Oh, are you here? I was surprised to hear you were taken from the inn to Baron Soleil's hand. … but apparently nothing in particular happened."
"Yeah, because they just asked me about the nucleus of the dungeon."
"... at all, that guy's the same. That's how we take the lord's seat here to the noblemen."
Even as I exhale, its complexion is good. It was a concern that more and more people were gradually returning to everyday life as medicines could, and it was also found that the nucleus of the dungeon was the reason for the spread of the disease, and that it had already been destroyed with regard to the nucleus of the dungeon. It's unlikely that there will be any more troublesome events, so I guess I'm in a good mood as a lord's deputy.
"So, besides the fact that I called you in, there were a few other reports. First of all, that purple fog that showed up yesterday. Whoever touched that one was paralyzed, but the effect seems to have been to that extent, so that everyone can move in about an evening. Well, the doctors say there's no particular kind of sequelae about this, but it's still caused by it. We'll see how it goes for a while."
"Really? I hope there's no such thing as sequelae. Even though it didn't work for me or Seto, I'm smoking directly."
To be precise, it was Ray and Seto who made contact with the purplest fog in this city. Because he was at the root of the fog.
"Basically, they're going to be harmless to those with more than a certain amount of magic, so the area will probably be safe. And the second. Seyce's guy woke up early this morning. He fainted because he used his magic beyond his limits with a resonant necklace."
"Really? Looks like you're awake. Above all... anything else awkward?
A little. Ray asks to the Deer logo, which is a little, but eyebrow-flagging.
For such a ray inquiry, the Deer logo snorts in sigh.
"Oh. They can't control magic at all right now because of the side effects of using resonant necklaces. Seyce, a leading wizard."
"... I see"
(This dish is enough to divert magic from others. isn't that strange to have that degree of side effects for sure)
Ray continues his words remembering that Seyce herself had originally said that the recipient side had side effects.
"The Alliance Master, aware of that, wears that necklace?
"I guess. But fortunately, the noise has already subsided. Talking about him, he's going to be able to use magic again in about 3 months like it was originally.... That's at least the salvation. We're going to need his magic in this city of Barr."
"That was unfortunate luck. But the people of this city are brilliant, so you can do something about it until the Alliance Master demobilizes."
"Sort of. Even for us, we didn't leave everything to Seyce. We'll see what we can do until he's back."
He squeaks and eventually turns his gaze to Ray like he's regained his mind.
"It changes the story, but Ray will also have nearly a week left to stay in this city. Do you understand this?
"Yes, it takes about that long before the cause of the Devil's Fever is gone."
"Oh. So sorry, but I know it's gonna be cramped for a while, but bear with me. … naturally it is forbidden to fly from all over the city on a ceto, as it did in the nucleus of the dungeon"
"I understand that just fine. The same was true in the city of Gilm. Yesterday's was only an emergency."
"Right. I hope you understand. That's all I'm talking about. You can go back now.... Tell Baron Soleil if he bothers you with anything. I don't know if I can do it, but if I can still do something here, I'll do it."
"Yeah, please"
Finally, Ray leaves the office.
Asking the maid about Ara, she heard that she had followed Soleil and left the Lords' Hall to return to the Inn.
Thus, about a week to the due date. Ray was going to be pretty busy walking around the city with Seto to help rebuild, or do a mock fight with Ara.
