Legend

Ray broke into the back alley to lure himself and the person watching Seto. Waiting in a place at the end of the line, one person eventually shows up with a bitter smile.

"At all, I was still confident about covert behavior. Can you tell me how you noticed my gaze, if you don't mind?

The shadow, a woman who seems to be in her early 20s, asks Ray to tilt her neck.

"Somehow, I guess."

While looking at the woman, don't be alarmed and grip the knife in the dragon robe and tell her to deceive you to check on her.

I guess the clothes I'm wearing are to be disputed by the city dwellers. It's not so different from the clothes for cold protection that normal women wear. If I dare to make a difference, I would have some reinforcement in a few places of clothing, but that's not so unusual.

She is in her 20s. Beauty to such an extent that it is fairly neat, but not nearly as beautiful as everyone turns around. He had dark hair tied behind his head and had a hairstyle that should be called ponytail.

"You seem to have been eager to gaze at me for a long time since daylight, but what can I do for you?

The woman frowns slightly at the question.

"I knew you'd noticed. I guess that's why I should say...... as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to lose a bit of confidence. What do you say? Could you hang out with my training or something next time? You're going to be a very good trainer."

Ray laughs with his nose without looking particularly intrigued by the woman who smiles and tells him so.

"I guess you weren't even bothering to spy on me for that nonsense, were you? I don't want to go out of my way to imitate the kind of drunkenness that you are in this cold. I just need you to do something for me."

"... that he is utterly, unconnected. I'm still pretty confident in my appearance."

A woman pointing her mouth pointing her eyes at Ray.

But in this case, all I can say is that they were bad. Anyway, there are a number of beautiful women around Ray who look above standard. Lenora and Kenny, the guild's receptionists. And even the guild master marina. And Elaine, called the Princess General. Other than that, few adventurers in the city of Gilm are better looking than that.

Even women who are somewhat proud of their appearance can be divided into the category of women who are only a little better looking compared to them if they try to lay them on.

(It doesn't look like this woman is really seducing me. Probably a little pastime before the point)

"I told you enough foreclosure, didn't I? I'm not free enough to hang out with futile stories even over here. Let's get down to business."

Encourage the point as you prepare in the robe so that you can throw the knife immediately.

I guess he decided that such Ray's attitude would only hurt his mood if he prolonged the story any longer. Eventually, the grin disappears from its face, creating a serious look and opening its mouth.

"Mr. Ray. We value your qualities. High combat ability in such enormous magic that a first-rate wizard is no match for a bunch of them. And the presence of you, who can even follow the griffon of a Rank A monster, deserves a higher appreciation. Never be the kind of person to end up like an adventurer. … would you like to come under us?

"... the Bestian Empire"

It was Ray's voice, whining small, but in this place behind the back alley it had enough volume to reach the woman's ear.

The woman doesn't even move the look on her face when she hears the name, waiting for Ray to react. But I did not have any upset on my face, but its fingertips. Ray didn't miss the slight but upset shake there. It would never have been noticed otherwise. It was a moment of agitation, but that was enough for Ray.

"I see, I knew it.... You're a good hand. If you take me in the way of what we've been scattering, the power of the Vestian Empire will increase while cutting the power of the Kingdom of Mireana. Something like two birds a stone."

"Two birds with one stone?"

You don't even know the Japanese vernacular word, a woman who looks suspiciously frowning.

Looking at such a woman, I turn my attention to the surrounding signs I felt when I gave her the name of the Bestian Empire.

(Number is 2. on the roof in the right direction and the corner of the aisle behind that woman)

When I look at Chirali and Seto, I look back at Ray silently if I had already checked there.

"Never mind, it's rhetoric where I grew up. More than that, can I assume that the fact that you didn't deny it is the hands of the Bestian Empire?

"... right. Apparently, it was spotted from the beginning, and don't you need to hide it any more? By the way, can I ask you why you found out I'm from the Bestian Empire?

"It's not that hard. Simply thinking about the guy I'm in this city and disturbing."

"There must be a faction in this country called aristocracy or kings? I don't think it would be strange to hang on to a pullout if I knew there was a delicacy like yours under the neutral Larks Border Uncle."

"Noblemen have more or less handouts."

"Handover?"

She was a woman who would ask me strangely, but Ray dares ignore it and go on with the words.

"I know, of course, that opinions are not always unified among the aristocrats. Besides, we haven't actually had any contact with the Kings yet."

"Then why?

"Well, there's no clear reason for that. However, considering what the most troubling force is with me at the moment, the Bestian Empire has become the most powerful candidate. Even a handful of Alchemists and trump cards were captured because of their involvement with me."

……

A woman who returns in silence to Ray's words.

In fact, some incidents around this city of Gilm were nothing but faulty if we try to make it the Bestian Empire. Failing to assassinate Elaine, arguably a symbol of the aristocracy, which is also one of the great factions of the Kingdom of Mireana, the alchemist Postguerra, who for a long time approached Bornter, the head of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce, a leading figure in the city of Guild, was captured and two warcraft soldiers attached as its escort are now in the hands of the Kingdom of Mireana.

It is on the periphery of the city of Gilm, but therefore the information arrived late to the Bestian Empire, and by the time it sensed the situation, the Postguerra and the Warcraft soldiers had already been escorted to the Wang capital, making it impossible to get their hands on it first. For this reason, at least after examining the cause, it has emerged that I am still an adventurer of Rank D, but its fighting power is Rank A. We arrived at the presence of Ray, who is said to have even reached Rank S. in the future.

Note that Ver Sayles, who betrayed the Kingdom of Mireana and attached it to the Bestian Empire, answered very little about Ray's information in silence, so it would be only for the record that it took more time to find its existence.

"So, a draw against the Bestian Empire? I'm happy enough with this city. What's in it for me if I follow you?

"As you already know, next spring the Bestian Empire will wage war on the Kingdom of Mireana. If you know the existence of Warcraft soldiers, don't you know if the Kingdom of Mireana has a winning eye or not?

"I see, is it in my interest to survive?... but I'm an adventurer, not a soldier or knight hired by this country. You have the means to leave this country if you have to?

"You think this one's gonna miss out on you in the way of the scattered Bestian Empire? The war that will take place next spring. In doing so, you will undoubtedly also be the target of the Bestian Empire. Even if you're not on the battlefield, there's no doubt that a shadow like us will come along. But if you get down to the Bestian Empire right now, I promise you a fair reward. Kim, woman, title.... Yeah, so you think collecting Demon Stones and Magic Items is your hobby? You can promise me enough rewards, right?

If you remain affiliated with the Kingdom of Mireana, you will be ruined. A woman who presents the condition that if she falls back to the Bestian Empire, the reward will remain as she thinks. If Ray had been a normal person and an adventurer, maybe he would have gone back to sleep. But...

"Unfortunately, let me say no. This is the opponent I've been scattering hostilities against. I have an emotional lump, and I have a brother-in-law for the people of this country. Besides, I don't want to belong in a country that draws people like Vel."

Those rewards weren't enough for Ray to want even after he lost his current place.

(Well, I'm a little spared with demonic stones and magic items)

Even with a bitter smile inside, Ray feels the signs emanating from the woman in front of him gradually becoming a swordswallowing atmosphere.

"Really, I'm sorry. But even this one refused, and I'm not going back to the country to say yes. Besides, given your combat power, it could actually be a pain in the ass for us. Therefore…"

When the woman tells that much, Ray hears the sound of something flying from the right direction as the sun already sets while we're talking and dims.

"Slow down!"

When you hoist the dragon robe to the right, which sounds aggressive, the next moment you make a tall metal noise and something is played.

"Stupid! Uluipka needle in such a robe!?

A woman with a stunned look at the sight that happened in front of her. Regardless, Ray quickly throws the knife he had toward the needle flying in.

"Gu!"

Even for the person who threw the needle, if it was to be avoided, it would still have been unexpected to be played the proud needle with a robe. A dagger pierces his torso and falls straight from the roof to the ground.

The biggest misfortune for these three was still dealing with Ray. A knife thrown with the power to pierce leather armor, which is defended by the impossible way of preventing a needle blow through even armor made of metal, in a robe, and even made many times more sturdy than normal leather armor by the alchemy of the Bestian Empire.

And.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Seto kicks the ground with a fierce roar, keeps kicking the wall and turns behind the woman with a triangle jump procedure......

"Huh!?

You learned to fear how Ceto looked like that, and all the woman saw when she took the whip out of the inside of her coat to turn her back aggressively against Ceto was the back and wings of Ceto, and the hindsight of the tail.

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly voices between unexpected actions, but soon a voice is whispered in his ear when he opens his mouth to speak to his companions who had hidden Seto's purpose in the bend of the enlightenment path.

"Keep your eyes off the target or something."

The woman then feels a shock in the neck muscle with her voice and is forced to sever her consciousness.

One of the moments when I fell to the ground was when Ray, who should have been close to 10 m away, waved his knife down to his neck.

"Hey... why..."

A glance at the woman who completely lost consciousness with that voice and fell to the ground, sounding like something heavy could be tapped at the next moment.

Ray, who turned his gaze toward you, saw the sight of a man in black, probably hit by a blow to Seto's forefoot, tearing down a slapped wall and blowing it up ahead.

Seto has an extraordinary power as a Griffon, but he is also raised to the bottom with magic items. It was easy for Ray to predict that the blow could not have been carried away by a normal human being, and that he would have been blown straight through the wall.

"I hear your quote for me and Seto's power was sweet."

Ray tells the woman who is falling to the ground and fainting.

Under such a ray, Seto returns as he titles the black-coated man who blew it off earlier with a couch.

"Later, the guy who threw the needle. Seto, I'm on guard here, so bring the man I threw a knife at and fell to the ground."

"Gru."

At Ray's request, he rings in the back of his throat just to leave it to him, and he goes straight to the one where the man would be falling.

Ray, who was dropping him off behind that, shrugs.

"With that said, the needle..."

Ray looking to the ground. The sun has already set completely and its surroundings are covered in darkness, but it wasn't that difficult for Ray at night to find a needle. Ray is bounced by a dragon robe and picks up a needle that was rolling on the ground.

"... I see. Exactly. Should I say shadow, or spy?"

Eyes a needle about 20 cm long that I picked up and squeals unintentionally.

The needle itself is painted black, and if it were thrown at that speed, it wouldn't normally come true to see it.

"If I could, would it be enough to dodge it with sound? But if you get any scratches..."

The tip of the black painted needle is wet with some liquid. I don't know what effect that would have, but it was obvious that it was never like it would have a good effect on the body.

Thereafter, Seto named the man in black with the knife stung in his belly, but because it was clear that he was going to die like this because of the terrible bleeding, he took the potion out of the mystering and stopped the bleeding on the decision that there should be more prisoners.
